Before the band went on stage, Cheng Ran and Qin Xizhen had already encouraged Lin Chu and the others. Qin Xizhen said, "Maybe people are not born to perform, but human instinct and nature have always been deeply buried in your bones, that is to prove yourself. Some people always regret something they didn't do, and wonder if they had done it at the time, would the outcome be different? Doing something to make your own value be asserted and exerted is to show and prove yourself."
"Just like what you will do next, step out from behind the scenes and onto the stage... Isn't it that people always laugh at our band? Why did you choose to join the band? It's because everyone has the gene of vanity in their bones..."
"Vanity is not a bad thing. It is good, but it is misunderstood and distorted by many people. It is like a soldier fighting for honor. Honor is such a thing. After doing something well, you expect to receive flowers and praise from people, not be ignored, and punch hard in the face of all those who laugh at you, showing the traces of your existence in this world. It is such a thing..."
"Go do this, do it! Then show yourself. Let everyone hear your singing, let all those who look down on you see how powerful you are again!"
After Qin Xizhen finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Cheng Ran, "How is it?" Cheng Ran nodded, "You are even more deceiving than me. Even I am a little excited."
Cheng Ran looked at Lin Chu and the others, and they were already deeply moved. This Qin Xizhen was still very good at inciting people.
"I'm going to hit you. I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart." Qin Xizhen frowned at him, "How about... you say something too?"
Cheng Ran reached out and patted Lin Chu on the shoulder. "I completely agree with Teacher Qin's point of view. She said what I wanted to say. We thought the same thing. Come on!"
Qin Xizhen: “…”
…
But now, watching the brief window of time when Yang Xia and a group of girls left the stage after their dance, Cheng Ran and Qin Xizhen both felt a little unconfident.
Because they suddenly realized that no matter how well prepared they were, Lin Chu and his band were really a group of rookies who had never performed on stage before. This was their first time.
Even Qin Xizhen's first performance was just a small class concert to build up his courage.
However, at this moment there are... two thousand people.
The host's announcement began.
"Next, please invite the first-year high school band 57 Degrees to perform two songs for us. The first one is..." The male and female hosts looked at each other. It was obvious that this was the time to create suspense, or they had already received instructions from the band. In order to achieve an unexpected effect, they had to catch people by surprise.
"Let them tell everyone."
The host and hostess left, and the curtain went out. The band came on stage, moving things in the dark, putting on the drums and other instruments. The sound seemed a bit chaotic, as if it created a discontinuous fault in the rhythm of the stage.
From all directions there came impatient rubbings and even boos from the crowd.
"I thought this band's program had been cancelled, but I didn't expect it to actually be on the show... Really, don't embarrass yourself in front of so many strong players in the second grade..."
“Don’t say that. Being able to stand up there is a victory. After all, it’s the first performance. Everyone has a first time… It will be okay in the future…” Some students were tolerant.
There was a rustling noise on the stage for a while, and suddenly there was a thump, and the sound of a bass falling to the ground came, as if the fat boy Fu Xiao had fallen down, and Zhang Qi's bass was also affected. In the dim light of the lecture hall, Fu Xiao hurriedly climbed up, and a slight laugh began to spread in the hall.
Zhang Qi cursed in a low voice on the stage, "What are you doing, Fu Xiao! I hope my bass is okay... If anything goes wrong, you're dead!"
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
Lin Chu wiped his face. Just as he finished wiping his face, the light from above his head shone down, and this scene was seen by everyone.
The whole room burst into laughter.
"Look at this idiot!" The people who had beaten Lin Chu before sneered at the brothers around them.
"And in a band..."
On the other side, ** and Tong Tian beside him opened their eyes wide and asked, "Is he really Lin Chu from the water company next door?"
It turned out that Tong Tian, ** and Lin Chu, who lived in the staff quarters of Shanhai Hotel, had known each other for a long time. Because they worked in the next-door unit, they often saw each other since childhood, but they were not childhood friends. They just knew each other and would say hello when they met on the way to school. Moreover, Tong Tian could even tell from Lin Chu's expression when he saw her... He actually liked her a little. But Tong Tian didn't say it, and Lin Chu didn't dare to show it. But I didn't expect that this dull and silent Lin Chu could actually stand on the stage. Who gave him the courage
"He...he...he's still the lead singer," ** immediately discovered this even more incredible fact, "What does he want to sing!?"
Tong Tian shook his head.
Yang Xia came down from the backstage, wearing a vest and a white short skirt underneath her coat, her long legs stretched out as she walked back to her own audience. Yao Beibei and Liu Ying greeted her, "It's the band that Cheng Ran joined... Cheng Ran really just did odd jobs there, he didn't even go on stage!"
"Maybe he really isn't here to do odd jobs! Humph!" Liu Ying wrinkled her nose towards the front row of the audience seats below.
In that direction were the figures of Cheng Ran and Qin Xizhen. It was self-evident what she was referring to.
Yang Xia looked over, then looked away. Their makeup was actually quite heavy, a bit exaggerated, and the blush really looked like a monkey's butt, but all these makeups, as the saying goes, depend on the person. For those who are good-looking, they can do whatever they want, but for those who are less talented, the comedy effect is very strong.
The fame of Lin Chu's band 57 Degrees actually came from Cheng Ran's joining, but it also became "notorious" because of this. Those who have heard the rehearsal would cover their ears and run away, and those who could listen to a whole song would be considered friends for life.
After the initial excitement of Cheng Ran joining the band wore off, and since Cheng Ran was not a performer, the band's rehearsals were always deserted, and the band naturally became less popular. All people have of the band is its disastrous performance.
After rehearsing for a while, everyone believes that there has been progress and that the performance standard has been reached. However, this standard also has a minimum and a standard. After watching so many performances of that standard, this minimum performance limit is probably the point where everyone pees. Many people are ready to pee and poop.
Amid the laughter of the crowd due to the unexpected changes in preparation, Lin Chu said into the microphone, "This is the first time that our 57 Degrees Campus Band is playing for you. We are a little nervous. Please bear with us. Today we will bring you our first song... 'Socialism is Good'."
The lights dimmed.
The figure of the person standing up to urinate is frozen.
The people in the fifth row who were peeing were staring at the people in the seventh row who were standing up. The two people who had never met before and were preparing to go to the toilet were both stunned.
What was it
Unexpectedly, this stunned the entire audience.
The sounds in the field suddenly disappeared at the same time.
Everyone was wondering if they had heard it wrong.
On the stage, Zhang Qi walked forward handsomely, chasing the spotlight and playing a series of beautiful consecutive notes on the bass.
Then the main and secondary guitarists Liu Lu and Jiang Feng played more mellow guitars to create explosive harmony. A fierce electronic melody continued to burst out with the heart-wrenching drum beats played by Fu Xiao's hi-hat.
Lin Chu held the microphone in his hand, and with the sound of rock music, he shook the world, "Socialism is good... Socialism is good! In socialist countries, people have a high status... Reactionaries! Overthrow!... Imperialism is running away with its tail between its legs!"
Principal Ma Weiguo paused as he picked up the teacup, and Deputy Mayor Zhang Yongchun next to him looked very distressed.
Phew… In the student seats, the girls covered their mouths, rubbed their bellies, and leaned forward and backward. The boys patted their thighs, patted the backs of the front seats, and laughed so hard that veins on their faces were exposed, "Hahahaha..."
People and horses were thrown to the ground.
But also full of lofty aspirations.
"The great unity of the people of the whole country... has set off a socialist construction movement... a socialist construction movement!"
All the people who were wandering around here had only one thought in their heads: singing this song at the art festival... This band was unprecedented and will never be seen again.
(As usual, a version of this song will be released on WeChat at 11 o’clock.
