Chapter 261: Participating in the Competition
Shao Guang stayed with Fang Yichen for one night, and was chased away by Fang Yichen the next morning.
In the evening, Catherine returned.
"Camilla, I miss you so much. I can't eat or sleep well these days without you, and I've lost weight. Catherine was tired of being next to Fang Yichen, holding her face with both hands.
Fang Yichen got goosebumps all over his body, "Okay, okay, I don't know who I learned this set from." "She is very disgusted, this is thinking about herself, obviously she wants to cook by herself.
After the formal class, someone expressed their lovesickness for her.
"Camilla, I miss you so much!" After the first public class, George walked in front of Fang Yichen and looked at her affectionately.
Fang Yichen replied with a smile: "I miss you too, I can't even think about it." ”
The foreigner didn't know much about the way the Chinese spoke, he only understood the previous sentence, thought that Camilla was also moved by him, and happily asked her to have lunch again.
Fang Yichen saw that he had inadvertently flirted with someone, so he quickly corrected his attitude, and explained to George very seriously the meaning of what he had just said, and then in George's gloomy look, he slipped away quickly.
To tell the truth, she didn't feel vain about George's passionate pursuit, but felt annoyed. This may also be because George is not her favorite type, if her idol pursues herself like this, it is estimated that she will wake up laughing in her dreams.
At the beginning of the new semester, she still continued the course selection method of the previous semester, and tried to choose the courses in the morning, but the club was not immediately decided, the first is that she doesn't want to have too much contact with George, after all, she has no intention of others, so it is better to have as little contact as possible, and the second is that she doesn't really want to choose piano performance, since she wants to play, she still wants to try something different, so she just chose the course, and the club is still empty.
Catherine knew that Fang Yichen was hesitating about the club, so she immediately recommended her the opera club she participated in.
"Don't you know how to sing, then go and experience it, although most of the singing in it has to be bel canto, but if you can't, it doesn't matter, there will be some characters who don't use bel canto singing. Besides, our club also needs piano playing, so it's very suitable for you to go. Catherine tried to introduce her to her own society.
Fang Yichen thought about it for a while and felt that this was also an attempt, so he was fooled by Catherine into joining the opera club.
After joining the opera club and really participating in it, I realized that opera actually contains a lot of content, including music, drama, poetry, dance, art, costumes, lighting, etc., and a variety of artistic components are in it. It is a drama based on singing, accompanied by an orchestra, with stage sets, makeup, dance moves, and sometimes monologues and dialogues.
At the beginning, the president asked her to accompany because she was a piano major, but Fang Yichen refused, if she wanted to play the piano, she wouldn't have come to this club, and it would be good to continue to participate in the piano performance club directly, where she could still play solo.
So Fang Yichen started with a monologue and learned slowly. Then she found out that although Catherine was already an old man in the club, she did not go on stage, but was in charge of the costumes.
"Hmph, who said that you must perform on stage when you come to the opera club, I prefer costumes." As a result, not long after she said this, she slapped herself in the face.
"Camilla, what's going on this weekend? Can you accompany me to a contest? ”
On this day, Catherine suddenly made a request to Fang Yichen after dinner.
"Competitions? What contest are you going to participate in? Fang Yichen was a little curious.
"It's a singing contest held by Cal TV, didn't I learn to sing, so I wanted to try it." Catherine had a yearning expression on her face, "If I can win the first place, no, I don't need the first place, the top three will do, and I will be a big star in the future." ”
The weekend is coming soon, Catherine pulled Fang Yichen and wanted to go to the TV station to sign up together, at first Fang Yichen resolutely did not agree to accompany her, it was not good to have that time to do something at home. But I didn't expect that it would be terrible for a foreign girl to pester, and Catherine also said a sentence that made her a ruthless person unbearable to refuse.
"You're my only friend, and if you don't go with me, I really don't know who else to find to accompany me."
Well, what else is there to say, Fang Yichen finally disarmed and surrendered, and accompanied her on a trip.
But when the two of them drove to the plaza in front of California TV, she regretted it.
It's already around three o'clock, and there are still a lot of people waiting in line to sign up in the square.
"What the hell is this competition, why are there so many people?" Fang Yichen covered the sun with his hands and looked at the front of the team. She wanted to retreat just now, but was dragged by Catherine in a daze, "It's cold, aren't these people too cold?" ”
Now the temperature here is about three or four degrees above zero, and it is okay to stand outside for a short time, if you queue up in the square for an hour or two, people will definitely freeze.
The most important thing is that neither of them is wearing a down jacket.
"What's cold, think about the prize money you can get after winning the game, and all the people in line are enthusiastic." Catherine said excitedly, pulling her along.
"Huh? How much money is won? Fang Yichen was curious, wondering how much money could make so many people forget the cold.
"The prize money of this competition is currently the highest in the country, the first prize is 1 million, the second place is 500,000, the third place is 200,000, and there is a weekly champion in every competition after entering the semi-finals, and the weekly champion prize is 10,000." Catherine explained.
"Dollars?" Fang Yichen asked.
"Of course."
"Well, that's a lot." Fang Yichen touched his chin, now the exchange rate between the US dollar and the yuan is as high as 3.76, that is, one million US dollars is equivalent to more than 3.76 million yuan, so he can do a lot of things.
"What's this show?" Fang Yichen decided to inquire more carefully.
Catherine looked surprised, "I've told you several times in the morning, and you still haven't remembered. ”
Fang Yichen hehe, who is impatient to listen to her nonsense in the morning.
"Tell me or I'll go." She threatened.
Catherine was really threatened, and there was nothing to do in line, so she told her again, "This is a reality show hosted by Cal TV, called "The King of Variety Singers". ”
"Variety? The King of Singers? Fang Yichen felt that these two words had some meaning.
"Well, let's talk about the variety first, that is, this competition is divided into three stages, the preliminary round, the semi-final and the final. After the preliminary round, there will be 20 contestants left, and then enter the semi-finals, which will require the contestants to choose songs according to the requirements of the organizers, and then select eight more people out of 20 to enter the finals. Finally, the first, second and third prizes will be decided. I heard that the contestants will be asked to try different music styles during the semi-finals, so it is called versatile. ”
Fang Yichen nodded, indicating that he understood.
