Chapter 25: Performing on the same stage
After the award ceremony, in the gymnasium, the campus music festival kicked off with an activity in the morning, and the "prince and princess" performed on the same stage.
"Now let us welcome Prince Jiang Li and Princess Tang Shishi to the stage again with warm applause, and bring you the live performance of "June Rain"!"
The light and shadow changed, a man and a woman walked side by side, walking to the forefront, like a golden boy and a girl, at this moment, Tang Shishi was extremely excited, and her face could not hide her happiness, she was even happier than winning the title of "princess".
The host continued: "In the past month, it has attracted widespread attention in Suzhou Province and is known as the first song in Jiangcheng in five years.
Shu Yutong looked from a corner of the gymnasium stands, Jiang Li stood still in front of the microphone, Tang Shishi was ready in front of the electronic piano, and made an "OK" gesture to him, and his chest ached slightly.
Will weishenme hurt? Shu Yutong himself didn't understand.
The brisk accompaniment sounded, Jiang Li took a breath, quickly entered the state, and sang emotionally, after so many days of transformation of the new ability of the music palace, his voice and voice became more and more perfect, so people were fortunate to hear a more beautiful song "June Rain" than the popular version on the market now.
The applause at the scene was thunderous, the cheers of "Prince Jiangli" and "Princess Shishi" were endless, and the dazzling lights were only for the two of them to shine on the stage.
Jiang Li's parents sat in the stands, both stunned by this scene, Shui Mengying was even more excited to tears, although she had been paying attention to "June Rain" from beginning to end, but it was not until this moment that she deeply realized that her son had really grown up, not an eagle, but an eagle!
"Mu, do you see? That's our son, Ah Li has liked music since he was a child, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to have much talent, I thought ...... It's great that he's finally enlightened...... I'm so happy......"
"Well, I saw it, Mengying...... I'm proud of him. The softness of Jiang Mu's heart was touched, and he embraced Shui Mengying, and his old-fashioned face showed a soft and relieved smile for the first time in many years.
Jiang Shui Ripple grabbed the railing tightly with both hands, staring at the figure with big eyes without blinking, this shijie, her favorite and most admired brother, she has never been so eager to achieve something in music as she is now, because only then can she get closer, closer......
Zhang Nara pursed her lips, her eyes filled with mist, there, that person's side, when will she arrive?
Li Nanchun was restless, his expression was gloomy, seeing Jiang Li and Tang Shishi, who cooperated with the tacit understanding to drive the warm atmosphere of the audience, he was jealous, the position of the microphone, the focus of attention, should have been his, but it was snatched away by the other party!
"Jiang Li, don't be complacent, I heard that you will use all your family property to invest in Asuka Records, haha, I will definitely persuade my father to invest in your competitor Mingrong Records, and suppress you fiercely, so that you will lose all your money!
"I don't know if my father has brought the words?" Li Nanchun's gaze fell on Tang Shishi's slender figure, but she only looked at Jiang Li, the other party's slightly thin body seemed to contain infinite potential, and a strong aura was exploding outward at this moment.
At the same time, her hands are not idle, and her slender and dexterous ten fingers dance like butterflies on the electronic piano.
"A rain, miss you, I love you, I love you......"
Zuihou's two "I love you" is not only sung by Jiang Li, but also by many boys and girls who like "June Rain", forming a wave of echoes in the gymnasium.
"Xiexie everyone. Jiang Li and Tang Shishi bowed together and slowly retreated to the backstage, and thunderous applause rang out again.
"The feeling of listening to the scene is really different, Jiang Li's singing skills are becoming more and more exquisite, which is convincing, of course, Tang Shishi's keyboard operation is also very good, it is obvious that he has a good grasp of the rhythm, well, I enjoyed this wonderful performance, and I ...... next"
Although the host is a teacher in his thirties, he was obviously infected by Jiang Li's singing, and his interest was high, and he praised it a lot, and then began to introduce the prince and princess in the second year of high school.
"Jiang Li, you sing so well. Ai Wenjing said sincerely, but her eyes looked at Tang Shishi, with a faint envy.
"Senior Sister Ai, don't say that, I can't stand the praise, I will be fluttering, compared to it, I am more looking forward to Senior Sister Ai's performance. Jiang Li said modestly, "By the way, I don't know ...... Senior Sister Ai."
"The song we performed was Nie Xiaoqian's "If Love", I was the lead singer, and this was Chen Ming, the guitarist. ”
The boy that Ai Wenjing pointed at stepped forward, smiled confidently, stretched out his hand to Jiang Li, and said, "I have heard of your name a long time ago, and it is my honor to see you today." ”
"Where, each other. Jiang Li smiled and shook hands with the other party.
Chen Ming turned to face Tang Shishi, and after greeting each other, the other party did not take his hand, which made him a little embarrassed, so he had to take it back.
"Zuihou let us welcome Prince Chen Ming and Princess Ai Wenjing, who are in the third grade of high school, to the stage with warm applause, and they will bring Nie Xiaoqian's "If Love" to everyone!"
Ai Wenjing and Chen Ming left together, and Jiang Li asked curiously, "Shishi, why didn't you shake hands with the other party just now?"
"Do you want me to shake hands with him?" Tang Shishi stared at Jiang Li intently.
A trace of panic flashed in Jiang Li's eyes, and he said, "It's okay, it's okay...... Let's go take a break. ”
Seeing Jiang Li slip away directly, Tang Shishi stomped her feet hatefully, and said angrily: "Bad guy who has no guts." ”
After Ai Wenjing and Chen Ming also performed, Jiang Li and Tang Shishi returned to the stage, as well as the prince and princess in the second year of high school, and took a group photo with the host, school leaders and special guests, and the morning's activities ended successfully.
"The cafeteria has prepared delicious meals, everyone is welcome to eat, the afternoon is free time, the school performances are continuous, you can watch selectively, the music and dance party will be held on time at seven o'clock in the evening, our school is fortunate to invite the most famous band in Jiangcheng 'Golden Time', they will bring you a very wonderful live performance in the gymnasium, not to be missed, then, I wish you all a happy music festival!"
As one of the most famous schools in Jiangcheng in terms of comprehensive strength, the music festival of Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School has attracted thousands of people to visit the school, although the meals prepared in the canteen today are indeed more delicious than before, but it is really very, very difficult to squeeze into.
However, Jiang Li doesn't need to worry about this problem, because the school specially sent someone to send a sumptuous package, and Jiang Li's parents, mothers and sisters also have a share, which is the benefit of the "prince and princess", and the cost will be deducted from the bonus of 1,000 yuan.
The "prince and princess" of Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School can get a cash reward of 1,000 yuan, which can only be used for music-related purposes in theory, but it will not be strictly enforced.
This is only the treatment of key middle schools in prefecture-level administrative regions, and at the level of provincial key points, it is two points each time, and three points at a time for national key schools!
As for the material rewards, the schools are different, and the national key schools with strong funds will even reward each "prince and princess" with tens of thousands of yuan, or simply buy a piano as a gift.
It is the stimulation of these factors, honors, awards and the heartfelt love of music that make the "Prince and Princess" selection event and music festival so powerful and widely concerned by the society.
"Brother, green pepper. Jiang Shui Ripple came to Jiang Li with his lunch box.
"You, you're a picky eater, this one is not spicy, you eat it. ”
Ripple shook his head and didn't speak.
Jiang Li smiled helplessly, and picked out the green peppers one by one, I don't know when it started, Ripples didn't eat green peppers, on the contrary, he liked to eat them very much, so a scene that often appeared during family meals was that Ripples took the lead in picking all the green peppers in the dish into his bowl.
Once he couldn't help but say to Ripples: "Ripples, you don't like to eat green peppers, just bypass it, don't be in such a hurry to clip it to me, right?"
Ripple listened, his eyes trembled slightly, he lowered his head, and said very depressedly: "Brother doesn't want to protect Ripple from the hands of the green pepper?
"Silly girl. Regarding Ripples' statement and performance, Jiang Li could only cry and laugh, and from then on, he never dared to mention this matter again.
As soon as Ripple left, Tang Shishi came over and said with a little envy: "Silly Li, you really spoil your sister, will you spoil her so much if you have a girlfriend in the future?"
"Of course, Ripple is my sister and I will always spoil her. ”
"Who asked you about the 'she', it's the 'she', the 'she' of your girlfriend!" Tang Shishi said angrily.
"Uh...... cough cough...... "Eating green peppers all day long, Jiang Li was choked, his face was red, and he didn't know whether he was choked or ashamed."
Of course, Jiang Li also avoided Tang Shishi's meaningful question.
In the afternoon, as the old principal said, the school is full of performances, from the gymnasium to the big playground, from the canteen to the classroom, from the square to the boulevard, singing and dancing, playing musical instruments, everywhere is full of laughter, people come and go, or walk together, or stop to watch, you can enjoy this leisure time with friends, you can also send invitations to music and dance parties to your favorite objects.
Jiang Li found that he really fell in love with this shijie, although there is no shortage of struggles where there are people, but this earth is undoubtedly more harmonious and beautiful under the influence of music, at least in the last life, there are few school activities that can make students really enjoy it, laugh from the heart, activities such as school sports meetings are mostly mandatory, and often mere formalities and superficial articles.
"I love you, I love you......" Jiang Li was strolling with his family when he suddenly heard a familiar song coming from the grass, it was "June Rain", and it was already the end.
It was a boy, standing on a rock, with Jiang Li's level as the perfect score, and the other party was about seventy points.
There were a lot of people gathered around the boy, but he only looked at one of the handsome girls, and the two "I love you" just now were shouted to her, and the meaning of admiration was revealed.
The crowd was coaxed, and the boy's slightly green face appeared blushing, and finally mustered up the courage, jumped off the rock, took out a rose from his arms, and said affectionately to the girl: "Xiaojing, can you dance with me at the music dance?"
Faced with the boy's sincere and bold confession, the girl finally nodded in shame.
Similar situations abound in today's campuses, and sometimes they even directly bump into each other's parents, and on such special days, both teachers and parents will maintain considerable tolerance and patience for this behavior.
Jiang Li smiled knowingly, and was about to take his family to visit other places, when he saw a beautiful girl standing under the plane tree not far away, looking at this side with a hesitant expression.
"Ah Li, she seems to be looking at you, ah, I remember, isn't she the princess in the third year of high school? Do you know her? If you do, go over, she should have something to tell you, or something to find you, let's just go shopping by ourselves......" Shui Mengying smiled.
"Well, well, I'll get to you later. Jiang Li walked towards the turquoise shadow, and Ai Wenjing also made up his mind at the same time.
