On Wednesday, January 3, in the auditorium of Bac Ha University, the biennial Bac Ha Provincial College Art Show kicked off.

This is a professional performance venue, has undertaken many national performances, and many famous artists have held solo concerts here, with a great reputation, the dislocation of the double-layer viewing space looks somewhat similar to the National Center for the Performing Arts, and the sky is densely covered with hundreds of starry lights, which are very magnificent when they are all turned on.

The auditorium, which can accommodate several thousand people, was already full, with the leadership seats at the front, and the students from Beihe University and some other nearby institutions in the back. Although there were many people, no one made any noise, all of them sat quietly and waited for the start of the performance, and cameras were set up in three directions, which seemed to be preparing to record and broadcast this theatrical performance from multiple angles and in all directions.

For the organizers, this is a high-level display of the literary and artistic level of the province, so it is very high from the host level to the level of reporting, for the audience, in the time to watch the student performances will also see some famous domestic stars to make guest appearances, the attraction is quite high, for the participating universities, the ranking determines the level of literary and artistic teaching of each college, and has a great influence on the future enrollment, there is a lot of face, and it is very important for the participating studentsIf they perform well, then it is very likely that they will stand out here and be discovered by some national performance institutions or well-known entertainment companies, so as to enter a broader performing arts stage.

At this moment, the team of Shantang Academy, where Liu Relative is located, has already waited for the backstage. The same as the viewing area, the space here is also surprisingly large, which can fully accommodate all the 20 or so participating teams to enter, but because the performance time is slightly later, Liu Zhao and the others have not put on makeup at the moment, and the professional instructor is emphasizing the precautions over and over again.

"Relatively. I'll leave it to you about the rhythm of the musical this time, you guys hurry up and be proficient, since you insist on the original effect and refuse the academy to provide you with a professional soundtrack team, then I hope you can play well and add glory to your results. ”

The instructor is a young professor in the performance department of Shantang University. She has always had some opinions on Liu Zhao's insistence on her own performance, singing, and her own soundtrack, and she doesn't think that the level of these young people learning to play musical instruments can surpass those professionals, but Dean Li Dingyi strongly supports Liu Zhao's point of view, thinking that such a program truly embodies the spirit of independent innovation of college students, so at this time she can only hope that Liu Zhao can pick up the burden of these children and not make mistakes.

Ryu didn't say anything, just nodded. Lu Shengjun shook his head disdainfully on the side, thinking that the professor was purely eating radishes and worrying about it. Past performances have proved that Yoo was right, and that their performance is no worse than that of professionals.

Can't you see that everyone is nervous right now? Not to mention those who have never been on such a high-level stage, even if they have been on the big scene for a long time, they are now playing a little drumming in their hearts, this is a professional performance at the level of college students, and this is a professional stage at the national level. Sitting at the bottom are a group of professional tutors who are influential in Bac Ha Province and even the whole country. To say that it is easy to face, Lu Shengjun feels that there is no one else except Liu Zhuang.

Lu Shengjun was indeed a little curious about Liu Relative's indifferent mentality, it stands to reason that the children from this small city should not have seen such a grand scene, but from his language, expression, and even demeanor, he couldn't see that Liu Relative was the slightest nervous. Therefore, Lu Shengjun really admired Liu Relative's five-body throw.

"Okay, you guys get acquainted with it again, our show is in the middle of the line, so there is still some preparation time." The instructor looked at her watch, then she turned to the side and stared at the assembly of the props.

Actually, I don't need to say it. Everyone has already gone through all the links silently in their hearts. Most of the students here are on this stage for the first time, and they all want to show their best selves on this stage, and they have no other ideas in their simple minds, but they just want to be worthy of their efforts.

Seeing the teacher walking away, Liu turned around and clapped his hands, signaling everyone to come closer to him. He is the designated leader of Dean Li, and he is still the main one in all the communication matters of the performance.

"It's not easy for you to get this opportunity, but don't be too nervous, to be honest, the old scholars at the bottom may not be deeper than us in performance, let alone those students who compete on the same stage, so relax your mind, just perform on our own stage, it doesn't matter what ranking you get, just perform seriously."

There were a total of sixteen of these performers present, except for Ah Kang and Song Mei, no one seemed to be younger than him, but Liu Zhao didn't feel that his age was a problem at all, so he didn't have the slightest consciousness as a junior when he spoke, but these people had long been used to him talking like this, so they all nodded.

"What you said is light, anyway, I came with the attitude of fighting for the first, if I can't get the first, I'll find a branch to make a slingshot to smash your glass."

The joke of Liu Zhao pulling a rubber band to make a slingshot and smashing the glass was remembered by Lu Shengjun, and he used it on Liu Zhao at the moment, making the people around him laugh, which also relieved their nervousness to some extent. Liu Zhao also laughed and told Lu Shengjun that he was welcome to smash it, as long as he could find the rubber band

The show didn't go very fast, and because it was interspersed with performances by some stars, Liu was even further back in their show, and after an hour and a half, these people stood behind the curtain.

All the sets were in place, and the first person to take the stage was also in place.

Glancing at each other, Liu looked at the direction of the backstage, and the staff understood and slowly opened the curtain.

The first thing that came into the ears of everyone in the audience was the sound of fingers lightly touching the microphone, and as the curtain rose, the two lead singers Liu and Song Mei, who were sitting in the corner, entered people's field of vision in simple denim. The curtain rises to the top, and the sound of the strumming guitar comes out, clean and clear. There was no other instrumental accompaniment, which made the hearts of the judges and the audience who had just enjoyed the magnificent performance suddenly become calm.

The prelude is very short, and as the prelude music flows, one side of the stage has already been posed, and a boy in a black suit and a black top hat moves to the center of the stage with space steps. Then he took off his shirt and hat to the rhythm, and put on a dashing pose. At this time, Liu Xiang's male voice rang out.

"That's the person I love day and night, how do I express it, will she accept me?"

The leading actor behind him moved, he was a professional in acting, and he had good dancing skills, and the singing content of the two lead singers at the moment was vividly expressed, and his exaggerated movements also caused a chuckle from the students in the audience. By now, everyone thought they were performing a light comedy.

"Dreams are always out of reach, should you give up, flowers bloom and fall is another season, where are you in spring?"

Song Mei's clean female voice sounded, this voice was completely different from Liu Zhi's slightly vicissitudes of voice, which made people have a completely different feeling, and the boy behind him was still dancing solo. The lonely shadow with these lyrics gives everyone another sense of desolation.

At the end of the first measure, a fluttering red rally is thrown from the background during a short variation. The dancer's dance style then changed, the flying red between the big opening and closing made people see the excitement of youth, and as Liu Relative sang the lyrics of the next stanza, those passers-by who played A, B, C, and D, and the white-collar workers who had insomnia all night were at the bottom of the vicissitudes of life. The sweaty workers appeared one after another, and began to use a stream-of-consciousness form to express the gap between ideals and reality, so that the voices that were chuckling in the audience just now suddenly quieted down.

"Youth is like a rushing river, it's too late to say goodbye, only the numb me is left without the blood of the year."

"Look at the flowers floating in the sky. withered in the most beautiful moment, who will remember that he came to this world. ”

The soloist is still waving the long red rung in his hand, as if youth has been drifting, ideals have been stirring, as the background of those boys and girls, men and women, with simple props began to tell the hardships of life, telling that the ideal is unattainable, they use the most simple movements to let the audience clearly understand what they are expressing.

"In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, how many joys and sorrows, the young people who once aspired to the Quartet envied the Yan who flew south, and the figures of their respective heads to the future hurriedly drifted away, where is the ordinary future, who will give me the answer."

Song Mei's voice sounded in everyone's hearts, and they began to ponder, yes, where did the people who used to be with them go, and whether they lived an ordinary life in this world and could no longer find the ideals they had at the beginning.

"Life is like a ruthless carving knife, changing our appearance, will it wither before it blooms, I have had dreams"

This sentence pierced everyone's hearts like a knife, whether it was the judges or the audience, the corners of their mouths pursed, and they began to fall into contemplation, what was staged on the stage was no longer a play, but their long or short life, the older people saw their past here, and the young people saw their future here, more or less, there will always be their own shadow in it.

"The people who accompanied me then, where are you now, the people I once loved, what are you like."

"Did you get your wish?"

This is Song Mei singing, she seems to be asking everyone here, are your former ideals still there? Did you fulfill that dream?

"Is it only a memorial now? Let the years dry, and the ideal can no longer find the real me. ”

Song Mei continued to sing, as if she was asking and answering herself, which is also the answer in most people's hearts.

At this point, the song fell into a long interlude, and the passers-by who had been performing in the background began to move to the front of the stage, and they folded their hands and began to look at the red ling, which had been fluttering high, and they had not fallen to the ground since the fluttering, and they paid tribute to their former ideals.

Liu Zhao and Song Mei also stood up, and their harmony sounded at this moment.

"Looking up at the starry sky, the one that accompanied me at that time, do you still remember the story here?"

"If there is a tomorrow bless your dear"

The dancers freeze the frame, all the performers bow to the stage, and the guitar's fluttering tail note comes to an abrupt end.

"Post-Youth" is finally perfectly interpreted

All the audience in the audience, including professional judges, videographers, students from various colleges, and the top executives of music companies in the crowd, were all immersed in the theme of this simple musical, which is a heavy topic about ideals, about youth, about the present, and about the future. The catchy lyrics, simple forms of expression, and simple guitar accompaniment make this heaviness so simple, like some old dust on the heart being blown off, revealing the bright red past, making them simply moved.

The gray-haired old man in the front row, the middle-aged photographer behind him, the management of the music company, and the college and secondary school students in the back, many people took off their glasses and gently wiped the corners of their eyes, they found that their eyes were a little moist, but they didn't feel the slightest embarrassment, just like the song sang, they remembered the story of that year, and then were moved by themselves back then.

The performers of Shantang Academy stepped down one after another, and at this time, the host reacted, hurriedly walked on stage, and politely intercepted the two lead singers who walked at the end.

"Wait a minute, both of you."

The host should be a professional entertainment program host of Beihe Radio, and Liu Ji often sees him on the TV station, and he feels very surprised to hear him call himself at this moment, because as far as he knows, the program performed in front of him does not seem to have this kind of treatment.

"I just heard that this song, including the lyrics, skits, choreography, mixing, and props, is that all produced by you independently, right?"

Song Mei glanced at Liu Relative with a flushed face, obviously, at this time she was starting to get nervous.

She has been relaxed throughout the singing process, she found her rhythm in Liu's relatively relaxed look, so calmly, but at this moment, facing this famous host, her nervous hands don't know where to put it.

"Yes."

Liu Relative's answer was very simple, and he was still calm.

"It's very good, it's hard to believe that such a meaningful song was written by two students." Obviously, he didn't fully understand the situation of the song, and always thought that the two of them were working together.

"I really hope you create more songs like this, so that we can be more moved and nostalgic."

As a professional host, it is said that she should not obviously show her likes and dislikes at this time, but she said it naturally, and everyone didn't think there was anything abrupt about him saying this.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and it was obvious that everyone had just come back to their senses in the song just now and began to cheer for this excellent program.

Ryu bowed to the two again, then turned and stepped down

In the crowd of black pressure under the stage, there was a beautiful girl with a ponytail, who had covered her mouth tightly with her hands since she came on stage, and her beautiful eyes had been looking at the slender boy who was holding the piano and singing, and she never left for a moment.

She finally heard the sound of the guitar that often sounded in her dreams, and thousands of miles away from home, she was still moved to tears by that clean voice (to be continued). )
