Liu Man looked at the female staff, and then at the diners who were trying to look at her over the green plants, and she had to stand up from her chair.
"Ma'am, please follow me first."
"Little Ke'er and this lucky guy need to prepare for a while backstage. Let's eat and drink first, and then continue watching the show," the host said.
Liu Man followed the female staff to the backstage through the staff passage. She was taken into a room, and the female staff picked up a bag of things, "Please change into this suit."
Liu Man took the clothes and unfolded them. It was a set of white Hanfu. She touched the texture and knew that it was the "props costume" that Yu Zhan called. "Let me help you wear it," said the female employee.
"No, I can do it myself."
"The clothes are divided into several parts, and it's a little troublesome to wear," the female employee insisted. She didn't believe that Liu Man could wear complicated Hanfu.
Liu Man smiled and said, "The real Hanfu is much more complicated than this, and I have worn it too."
The women's clothing staff had no choice but to back out and let her change clothes.
Five minutes later, Liu Man opened the door and walked out holding the hem of her skirt. All the staff in the restaurant in the corridor paid attention to her, and some of them opened their eyes wide in surprise.
Xiao Ke'er who came out of another room saw her and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful."
"My God, you are the most suitable person for Hanfu I have ever seen," she circled around Liu Man and looked up at her, "You look so good-looking without much make-up, young lady, don't you? star?"
Liu Man couldn't help laughing, "I'm an ordinary person who comes here to eat, you are the star."
Xiao Ke'er pouted, "I'm just an internet singer who sells and sings on the internet, what kind of star is I?"
In fact, Xiao Keer's reputation is not small now. From the audience's reaction just now, it can be seen that she has signed a record company, and she can release records like a professional singer in the future.
Liu Man thinks that Xiao Ke'er's personality is very cute, and there is a kind of self-deprecating open-mindedness in her words. No wonder she can adapt Zhuang Zhou's article and sing her own thoughts.
The female employee looked at Liu Man's shawl hair and said to another person, "Didn't I tell you to find a hairpin? Where's the hairpin?"
The man said, "I've run out of hairpins." Because of the antiquity theme, now every waitress has changed into Hanfu, and everyone has the same hairpin on their heads.
Liu Man said, "One clean chopstick is enough."
The most indispensable thing in the restaurant is chopsticks. In less than a minute, a wooden chopstick was in Liu Man's hands. Under the watchful eyes of several girls, her fingers were nimble and skillful, and she easily put her hair up in a bun with chopsticks. The tall, bundled head looked dignified and elegant both from the front and from the side. The girls onlookers felt that their hands might be crippled.
Xiao Ke'er asked the manager of the restaurant beside her, "Is she really an audience you randomly selected, isn't she a pre-arranged actor?"
The manager of the restaurant was very talkative, and said humorously, "Our catering company has limited funds. Wouldn't it cost a lot of money to hire such actors?"
The second song that Xiao Keer will sing tonight is her new song "Thinking of You". The song has not been published on the Internet, and she also wants to promote the new song here today. "Thinking of the King" sang about the feelings of ancient women who missed their husbands on the battlefield, stared into the distance, and prayed for nothing.
What Liu Man needs to do is to sit as a background when Xiao Keer sings, yes, her job is just to sit. There is no lighting for Liu Man in the background, and the audience can only see a black figure of a woman, which is a bit like a shadow puppetry effect, imitating the heroine in the song, sitting sideways and looking at one end, like Sijun.
Since it is necessary to interact with the audience, the restaurant planning team must of course think of a foolproof plan. It is impossible for all the female guests to be beautiful and photogenic. They are fat or thin, tall or short, young or old. How can these people fit into the stage perfectly without embarrassing them? It is to blur their faces and figures. Anyway, the Hanfu is wide, and the shadows are similar.
When the diners were not paying attention to the dark stage, Liu Man came on the stage, but heard the staff around him whisper, "Oops, they forgot to take the chairs."
"It's okay, I can sit on the ground."
After finishing speaking, Liu Man swung his sleeves and sat down on the floor. His movements were natural, smooth and majestic. On this slightly narrow stage, he was not abrupt at all.
The staff member stared blankly at her, lost his mind for a long time, and then remembered to gesture to the lighting engineer to light.
Then the light hit the position in front of her, and Xiao Ke'er walked onto the stage holding the guitar again. From the audience's point of view, Liu Man was really a black shadow now.
"Sorry for the extra few minutes, because I was very lucky to admire a rare beauty in the background," Xiao Keer made a playful joke.
The audience knew that Xiao Keer was referring to the selected female guest, and they thought she was just complimenting her politely, but no one took it seriously. After all, Liu Man was looking at a black background, unattractive, and probably only Yu Zhan was paying attention. force on her.
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ke'er also sat down, skillfully drew a guitar chord with her right hand, and then opened her mouth to sing, "The autumn wind is cool at the beginning, I see fallen leaves all over the garden, wandering away in a trance, the young master has been walking for many years..."
There is no other accompaniment for this song, and it all depends on the guitar in Xiao Keer's hands. The rough and lazy guitar and the melodious and sad style of the song suddenly grabbed the hearts of everyone present.
It sounds so good.
This is the unifying idea of everyone.
Whether they are diners or waiters, young audiences are recording with their mobile phones, unwilling to miss every wonderful moment.
Xiao Keer sang the last line, "I recall the beautiful past, and I beg you to come back again."
When the last note fell, all the lights were turned on, and Liu Man, who was always sitting on the chair, was exposed to everyone like a sculpture.
The diners who were about to applaud seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and their eyes instantly changed from Xiao Ke'er to Liu Man, and they couldn't bear to look away anymore.
Liu Man got up, shook off her skirt, dressed in plain white, and walked towards Xiao Ke'er with fluttering clothes. Every step, her steps were slow but steady. Wan's calm smile made the people present in a trance, as if a certain scene in a costume drama appeared in front of them.
Xiao Ke'er turned her head and smiled and winked at her. She stretched out a hand to Liu Man, and Liu Man took her hand. Two girls with very different styles stood in front of the stage at the same time.
"That's why I said just now that I was the lucky one to meet the heroine in my song here," Xiao Ke'er let go of Liu Man and faced her,
"Thank you for the song 'Backup Dancer'."
"Thank you for letting me hear this nice song."
The two said in unison, looked at each other and smiled, and the audience was amazed.
"Quickly record quickly, this must be a famous scene."
"Dizzy, dizzy, I almost forgot we were here for dinner."
"I knew I should call other friends tonight."
"Do you know who this girl is from?"
…
When everyone was inquiring about Liu Man's background, Yu Zhan had already paid the bill, and the waiter respectfully guided him to the backstage.
