Chapter 137 Equally matched
On the stage, Lin Zihuai and Mu Youwei stood side by side.
Both of them have upper-class looks, and their whole temperament seems like they were born for the stage. They each have their own characteristics and are very dazzling.
It’s just that one is more mature and the other is more immature.
However, everyone has selfish motives. Most of the audience members were from the Northwest Military Region, so their hearts were naturally with Lin Zihuai, and praises and discussions were heard one after another.
"The piece played by Lin Zihuai is so beautiful. What's its name? I've never heard it before. Is it his original work?"
"When this melody started playing, my mind was filled with images of the Gobi Desert. It was so stunning!"
"Comrade Lin is amazing! He even has a talent for originality. He is definitely a genius."
"No, this song "Moon over the Gobi Desert" was originally composed by Comrade Lin Anan for her younger brother, the wife of Captain Chu! These two siblings are truly talented men and women in our military region..."
As Bailing came on stage, the crowd's voices gradually became quieter. They were looking forward to the result of the competition and wanted to know who would win.
Bai Ling walked forward lightly with a smile on her face, but her fists were clenched tightly, and her heart was not at peace...
Just before she went on stage, she was stopped by the director of the art troupe.
The director asked her to speak well and end the competition beautifully. Lin Zihuai and Mu Youwei could not be ranked, so the competition could only end in a draw.
Bai Ling stood in the center of the stage, her eyes slowly sweeping across the eager audience, her smile growing brighter, "Dear comrades, today's talent show is truly a feast for our ears and an eye-opener!"
The people in the audience nodded in agreement and listened attentively.
Many people clenched their hands nervously and stared intently.
Of course everyone wants Lin Zihuai to win!
That’s Mu Youwei. What does it mean if the Northwest Art Troupe can have a performer who is better than Mu Youwei?
Bai Ling turned slightly and turned to Mu Youwei first, "I have to say that both contestants' performances were quite wonderful! Comrade Mu Youwei's performance of Katyusha seemed to take us through time and space, back to the passionate war years, allowing us to feel the charm and power of classics."
Mu Youwei nodded slightly to the audience, his lips curled up, his eyes calm, and the arrogance disappeared unknowingly.
Bailing then turned to Lin Zihuai, eyes full of admiration, "Look at our comrade Lin Zihuai, he has such a calm stage presence at such a young age, and his piece "Moon over the Gobi Desert" was even more stunning. The picture of the Gobi Desert that the piano music outlined was like a dream, and it immersed us in it, and we felt the majesty of nature and the tenacity of life."
Lin Zihuai also nodded towards the audience, but he couldn't hold back his smile, revealing his big white teeth, which looked particularly brilliant.
"After careful consideration by the leaders of our art troupe, it is hard to tell who is better between Lin Zihuai and Mu Youwei in this competition. It can be said that they are evenly matched! They each have their own strengths in the art world, and both have brought us unparalleled audio-visual enjoyment."
As soon as the words fell, there was a brief silence in the audience...
Everyone looked at each other.
Lu Qing and several ministers took the lead in applauding, "It's a tie! Both of them are so outstanding, they are really evenly matched!"
As soon as the applause died down, Bailing's words were confirmed.
"this……"
Lin Anan and others also applauded.
Many people came to their senses, immediately had some ideas in their minds, and began to applaud and cheer.
Then there was thunderous applause, cheers and applause.
Lin Zihuai opened his mouth, unable to react!
He tied with Mu Youwei? ?
Looking at his family and friends in the audience, with tears of excitement in his eyes, he knew that he had not let everyone down.
Mu Youwei's eyes were deep. Although he still had a smile on his face and clapped along, he knew... he lost!
The Northwest Art Troupe was giving him face so they announced it was a draw.
Amid the applause of the crowd, the two walked off the stage side by side.
As soon as Lin Zihuai stepped down from the stage, he was surrounded by people.
"Lin Zihuai, you are so amazing! You actually tied with Mu Youwei, my God! I don't even dare to think about it..."
"And Comrade Lin has only been in the art troupe for a week, so he has a promising future!"
"Brother Zihuai, I really like the song "Moon over the Gobi Desert". Can you teach me how to play it? It's really beautiful."
Everyone was talking at once, and their words were full of praise for Lin Zihuai.
Lin Zihuai felt a little embarrassed by the compliments. He scratched his head and smiled shyly, "Thank you for the compliments. I'm just lucky. I still have a lot to learn."
Mu Youwei just exchanged a few words with a few acquaintances and then followed Qiao Xu without even looking at Tang Jingqiao.
Just right! Tang Jingqiao didn't want to pay attention to him at this time.
Tang Jingqiao's face was terribly gloomy and she was full of resentment. She had thought that Mu Youwei could crush Lin Zihuai and beat him to the point where he could never recover!
She had even made all the follow-up preparations. She knew very well how to shatter the confidence of a newcomer and how to completely destroy him!
But... I didn't expect this result...
Tang Jingqiao clenched her fists and glared at the direction where Mu Youwei left, "You useless bastard! You're not even as good as a country bumpkin!"
After saying that, she didn't stay any longer and turned and left.
Lin Anan and Chu Mingzhou quickly walked to Lin Zihuai and hugged him, their noses a little sour, "Zihuai, you are awesome! I knew you could do it."
Chu Mingzhou also patted Lin Zihuai on the shoulder to show his approval.
Lin Zihuai's eyes were red, "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm so awesome!"
"Hahahaha, Brother Zihuai is praising himself!"
At this time, the leaders of the art troupe also came over. The leader smiled and said to Lin Zihuai: "Xiao Lin, right? Today's performance was perfect. Everyone recognizes your ability. I hope you can continue to work hard and contribute to our art career."
Lin Zihuai quickly stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, Captain! I will work hard and live up to everyone's expectations!"
"Haha, ok, ok!"
As the crowd gradually dispersed, the members of the art troupe returned to their respective positions and became busy again. They had to perform outside in the evening and time was very tight.
Lin Zihuai immediately changed his clothes and got down to work.
Chu Mingzhou is also going back to the special operations battalion. It’s the beginning of the new year and he has a lot of things to do.
Lin Anan waved at him and said, "Go quickly. We'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some vegetables and then go back."
"Okay, then you guys pay attention."
"It's just a few steps away, don't worry."
Chu Mingzhou nodded, and just as he turned around, he stopped again, "The art troupe's performance tonight is in the next village, and there will be a movie there. I'll take you there."
Lin Anan made an OK gesture to him.
OK! Chu Mingzhou mentioned the movie before leaving, and the little guys got excited and chattered about the movie.
This person said that he had seen it somewhere when he was a few years old.
The one who said that he heard from his neighbor’s grandmother about what was in the movie.
That guy said he watched the whole show...
Lin Anan couldn't help but interrupt them as she heard their heated discussion.
When they got home, as soon as Aunt Chu entered the kitchen, she was surrounded by the little ones!
"Sister-in-law, what movie is the Monkey King's Havoc in Heaven that you're talking about? Is the Monkey King that powerful?"
"And what about Nezha the Third Prince causing trouble in the Dragon Palace?"
"What is the Three Strike at the White Bone Demon?"
