Ling Ke originally thought that he and Qi Feng were two lines that would never meet again, but not long after that, he met Qi Feng again.
Four months after he added Qi Feng's QQ, the city TV station held a talent show campaign for primary and middle school students, inviting the city's primary and middle schools to recommend students to participate. The selected students can not only perform in the city TV station's New Year's party, but also have the opportunity to participate. Was cultivated as a small host.
It is said that it is necessary to be famous as early as possible. Parents who have such expectations for their children are very excited when they hear about this event, and the teachers of the school also attach great importance to it. After all, students who are on TV can also improve the reputation of their school.
Ling Ke, as the only student in the class who learned the piano and passed the amateur grade 10, was also included in the school's selection criteria.
But to be honest, Ling Ke didn’t want to go. He didn’t learn the piano for the purpose of performing, and he was quite afraid to go on stage, but Ling’s father and Ling’s mother felt that since he met the registration requirements, don’t give up the opportunity for nothing. Not bad.
Half a month later, Ling Ke went to the TV station with three other alumni of the school.
Among the three, there was a girl who studied ballet, a girl who played erhu, and a boy who sang Bel Canto.
The ballerina is the school flower of their school. She is one year higher than Ling Ke. She must be the host of various cultural and artistic activities in the school. She is sweet and articulate. But they are more confident than Lingke.
After the three arrived at the TV station, they were arranged for the first round of interviews. They were interviewed by the host who often appeared on TV. This was an extremely exciting thing for students who had never been in contact with entertainment stars. .
Some students who successfully completed the interview came out and revealed to them that it was not difficult at all just to chat with the host for a few days.
When it was Ling Ke's turn, he walked to the interview room No. 2 nervously. When he entered the door, he passed by a very beautiful little girl. The other party was sobbing with red eyes, as if he was crying.
Ling Ke was slightly startled and walked in slowly, only to hear the interviewer not far away shaking his head and sighing to the staff next to him: "Unfortunately, the appearance quality is very good, but the psychological quality is too poor." The person saw Ling Ke Come in, the voice dropped quickly.
Ling Ke's heart started beating wildly in an instant, and he understood that although he was only talking to the interviewer, in the process, students with weak coping skills or poor looks would be eliminated in advance.
After realizing this, Ling Ke knew that a socially handicapped person like himself who was taciturn was doomed.
Just as she was about to take her seat, a beautiful woman in a white business suit pushed the door in from the other side of the interview room: "Li Xuan, how many times are you doing here?"
The host whose name was called stood up and said, "Hey, Sister Jiang, there are three or four more. It's almost over. Just in time for you, come help me with the interview. I want to go to the bathroom."
The beauty smiled helplessly, said "go" and leaned in, taking his place.
Ling Ke looked at her and was a little surprised. She was Jiang Ying, the host of the city TV's financial channel. Ling's father watched financial programs every day, so Ling Ke recognized it at a glance.
Seeing with his own eyes, Jiang Ying was more beautiful and more temperamental than on TV, but Ling Ke had no intention of admiring the beauty, and his palms were sweating with nervousness.
"Little classmate, you look very calm." Jiang Ying glanced at him with a smile before looking down at his registration file.
Ling Ke: "..." Calm down? What a joke! Can't Jiang Ying see that his heart has turned upside down
He released his trembling hands, put them on his knees, and tried his best to suppress his voice: "Mr. Jiang, I'm not very calm."
Jiang Ying opened her eyes slightly: "Do you recognize me?"
Ling Ke: "My dad... I often watch the current affairs and finances you host."
"As I said, most of the children only know the hosts of the Children's Channel and Education Channel..." Jiang Ying slid her temples behind her ears and asked with a smile, "Your name is Ling Ke, right? You say you are not very calm, then What are you thinking now?"
Ling Ke's mind was full of chaos. He couldn't think at all, so he could only say instinctively, "I'm wondering... whether my dad will be jealous of me."
Jiang Ying: "Huh? Why?"
Ling Ke: "My dad can't sleep without watching your show every day. My mom often jokes that you are his dream lover... I see you now, if my dad knows... "
The more Ling Ke spoke, the more embarrassed he became, and now he wanted to slap himself—what the hell are you talking about, you idiot!
Unexpectedly, his mindless "frankness" made Jiang Ying burst into laughter.
The other party smiled and carefully looked at his appearance, and then said: "Okay, okay, you are young, your mouth is really sweet, and you can say good things in such a serious manner. You are also a talent."
Ling Ke: "???"
Sweet mouth? This is an adjective that has nothing to do with him. If his parents were present and heard with their own ears that their son, whom they had defined as an "introvert" since childhood, was praised for being sweet, he would definitely be shocked!
Jiang Ying looked at him and asked, "Do you want to be the host?"
Being watched by Jiang Ying's eyes that seemed to understand people's hearts, Ling Ke couldn't say anything against his heart, so he honestly said, "I don't want to."
Jiang Ying raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Then what are you doing here?"
Ling Ke thought about it and said, "Just... come and exercise."
Jiang Ying nodded with a smile: "Well, it's good for you to experience some such occasions." With that, she swiped her pen and ticked Ling Ke's form. After finishing playing, he saw the items Ling Ke had filled in on the talent show column, and asked casually, "You play the piano? What are you going to perform?"
Ling Ke: "Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata."
The difficulty level of this piece is about the amateur level 9. It has a lot of repetitive melody parts from the "C Minor Sonata" that Ling Ke played in the 10th level test. It is relatively easy to practice.
Jiang Ying said: "One of my sons also learns the piano, and he is as old as you..." She didn't say much, she put Ling Ke's file aside and said, "Then, I will look forward to your performance later."
Ling Ke pointed at himself in disbelief: "I... passed?"
Jiang Ying gave a "um" and reached out to signal that he could leave.
Ling Ke was still in a fog when he got up, but he couldn't come back to his senses. He bowed politely, thought of something, and said, "Mr. Jiang, can I... ask you to sign an autograph for my father?"
After saying this, he blushed first, feeling that he had never been so shameless before. This was not his usual style at all. He just thought that when Jiang Ying was mentioned when he went back, his father would definitely talk about it.
Ling didn't want to show it off in front of his family, but he must do a routine report. He was afraid of trouble, so he wanted to find a way to pay before trouble came, so he asked for a signature.
Jiang Ying didn't get angry, but laughed happily again. She generously found a piece of paper to sign for him, and while signing it, she whispered, "Ling Ke, let me tell you something in advance, we will have a talent show for a while. There will be some arrangements, you may need to find a partner temporarily to pair up and improvise." After that, he handed him the signature paper, winked at him, and said mysteriously: "It's good for you to know this."
Ling Ke said "Oh" and thanked him. After he went out, he realized what Jiang Ying said to him at the end—he was informed of the upcoming election rules in advance!
God, did he need the help of a noble
Ling Ke was secretly excited, but it didn't take long before he was faced with bad news: all three people who came from the same school as him were eliminated!
Ling Ke was shocked. He wouldn't be surprised if only the Erhu girl and the Bel Canto boy were eliminated, but the ballerina is the one with the highest overall quality among the four of them, so how could they fail
Senior Sister said with red eyes: "The host asked me to recite "Mulan Ci" with emotion. This is what we learned two years ago. I forgot and didn't memorize it."
Ling Ke remembered the questions Jiang Ying asked herself, and asked her senior, "Did he ask if you want to be the host?"
Senior Sister nodded, she looked shocked, she probably never thought that a ballet dancer would encounter such a tricky problem.
Ling Ke understood a little bit. If the senior sister answered "I want to", then the interviewer's requirements were not beyond her ability. As a student who had ambitions to come to the city TV station to run for a small host, no matter whether it was on-the-spot performance. Or cultural skills will be the things to be examined, right
Senior Sister asked Ling Ke, "How are you?"
The other two also looked at him, seeming to wonder how this usually silent companion got through.
Ling Ke didn't know what to say... It seems that he didn't meet a noble person, but he hit the wrong way and lost his luck.
After simply perfunctory them, Ling Ke secretly sighed. Now, even if he knew the information that Jiang Ying had disclosed in advance, it would be useless, not just because he was single-handed, but because the second round was about to start soon. Without a piano, even if you find a partner, there is no time to cooperate with practice.
So the most useful of this news is to make him mentally prepare in advance.
Since Ling Ke is still in the second round, the other three plan to stay and cheer for the only survivor of their school.
The forty or so students who successfully advanced were summoned to a multi-purpose hall. When the host announced the election rules for the second round, the scene was really chaotic, and it was easier for people who knew each other to pair up. People, can only stand stupidly in the corner and wait for others to come to him.
But his luck seemed to run out in the first round. From the beginning to the end, a boy who was talking about cross talk came to ask him what he was doing. After learning that he was playing the piano, he turned around and left in disappointment.
Yeah, the piano and the allegro... are both inconsistent when you think about it.
In the last count, there were five left, including Allegro and Ling Ke. At this moment, Ling Ke even wanted to give up his promotion spot to Erhu Girl, so that Erhu Girl would give Allegro a piece of music. Fair enough.
After hearing the host's ruthless "I will be eliminated in this round if I can't find a partner", all the four people except Ling Ke got together. Yes, pair it first.
The host looked at the lonely Ling Ke: "Is it just you?"
Ling Ke: "…"
He made a regretful gesture and was about to hand down the verdict when Jiang Ying came in. She swept around quickly and saw Ling Ke alone, with a hint of surprise on her face.
Before the male host made a sound, she immediately said: "Mr. Wang, come here."
The male host walked over, Jiang Ying whispered something in his ear, he glanced at Ling Ke while listening, and finally turned around and said, "You keep it first, and the last one will go."
Ling Ke: "…"
The people around him turned their heads in unison, and shot Ling Ke with a look of "this guy has a backstage", almost burning a hole in him.
[Interlude]
Jiang Ying: "One of my sons also learns the piano, and he is as old as you..."
Ling Ke ignored the quantifier in this sentence, and thought in shock... FUCK! This woman who seems to be less than 30 years old actually has a son? Still as big as yourself? He must have a fake mother_(:з」∠)_
