Xiaoqi updated his circle of friends again in the evening.
She posted a photo in which she was holding the trophy for first place in the Top Ten Singers competition and a prize of 20,000 yuan, and she was smiling very foolishly.
Her final score was 9.5.
After she finished singing, the young queen Ding Nan came on stage to sing.
Ding Nan finished singing without any embarrassment. After all, she is a star, and the response from the audience was quite enthusiastic. However, because of the comparison with the previous performance, she always felt a little uncomfortable. The performances of the next few contestants were also considered normal.
The last contestant sang an English song. He was a boy. He had a great stage presence and sang well. He scored 8.6 points and came in second place.
Wu Xinyue came in third.
Xiaoqi scored so high because, firstly, she has a clean and likable image, and secondly, she chose the songs with great care. When the tune of Tan Qingshuihe came out, the foreign teachers at the scene thought they saw the quintessence of this magical country. In fact, it was just a Beijing folk tune, sung again with modern popular elements.
But it is unexpectedly likable. If it were a real Peking Opera, Xiaoqi wouldn't know it and many people wouldn't understand it. This simple Beijing tune is very charming, with popular elements and a simple story, so everyone can understand it.
There were twenty songs on the stage. For most of those who chose popular songs, it was quite risky to win the 20,000 yuan for first place, because everyone would get tired of the songs.
As for bel canto songs, Xiaoqi's vocal cords are limited, so she may not sing as well as Teacher Lu, who has practiced singing for decades.
Xiaoqi found that he was good at empathy when singing, which is probably a skill at the expert level+. Obviously, if he sang songs in foreign languages, the empathy ability would not be used, and the students present were not necessarily good at foreign languages.
For example, Wu Xinyue chose a Japanese song. Her singing is average, but she can interact and dance, and there are still very few people who can understand her at the scene.
So her choice of foreign songs actually played to her strengths and avoided her weaknesses.
Xiaoqi's carefully selected song "Exploring Qingshui River" was her preparation for the Top Ten Singers competition and her strategy.
She won.
Having achieved her initial goal, she was extremely happy when she received the bonus.
Just like when she won the swimming championship, this time she was more determined and believed that she had to work hard, work with a goal, work wisely, and ultimately succeed.
Li Weijin also saw Su Xiaoqi's WeChat Moments. She looked so beautiful on the spot. When she was sitting on the stage singing alone, she was like the breeze and the bright moon. Any photo of her could be used as a phone screensaver, but she actually chose this photo. She was smiling so silly. He couldn't help but compare it with the photo of her winning the swimming championship before... The smile was exactly the same, very silly... He thought of when Su Xiaoqi was interviewed by a reporter and asked her: What was your original intention of participating in the competition?
Su Xiaoqi said: Bonus...
Now his mind raced, and Li Wei Jin suddenly understood Su Xiaoqi's point. Could it be that she was participating in the Top Ten Singer competition for the prize money again?
Thinking of her working part-time to support her studies, Li Wei Jin felt a little sad. Maybe it was true.
After the competition, Xiaoqi took a group photo with other contestants and judges. Unexpectedly, he also added several judges’ WeChat accounts, but did not add the school director Ms. Su’s. Ms. Su left in a hurry after the show ended.
Fortunately, in school, unlike in society, there is no need to go out for social events or meals after the competition. After taking photos and adding each other on WeChat, Xiaoqi went to find his roommates and went back to the dormitory together.
Wu Xinyue stayed. She had finally added these people on WeChat, so naturally she had to socialize with them. In her opinion, people like Su Xiaoqi had resources but didn't know how to use them. She foolishly went to find her roommate to go back together, saying that her roommate was waiting for her. Why did she care about her roommate at this time? She should seize the connection quickly, at least to make herself familiar with them.
She didn't expect that she would be third. She thought she had secured first place, but the first place was taken by Su Xiaoqi. She never expected that Su Xiaoqi would be so stunning with makeup on. She usually thought that Su Xiaoqi had good facial features and was a naturally good-looking person, not so stunning at first sight. But when she was touching up her makeup backstage and saw the person on the big screen, she was stunned.
Su Xiaoqi is so beautiful on the screen, she is simply the legendary screen face, beautiful from every angle, but she has to pay attention to it all the time. She feels that her right face is fatter, the left side is not bad, and she looks a little fat from the front, which is a disadvantage when taking pictures.
As for Su Xiaoqi's singing, Wu Xinyue had seen it last time, and she couldn't compare to her at all.
I thought it was unfair to get second place, but it turned out that the second place was taken by a sophomore who sang an English song with ease.
I guess if it weren't for Su Xiaoqi, he would have been number one.
In the end, Wu Xinyue stayed, the first place Su Xiaoqi hurried back to the dormitory, and the second place Zhou Chanxin also left after taking a group photo.
In fact, the judges really wanted to talk to the contestants, especially Su Xiaoqi, who came in first. They also had a good feeling about the second-place boy because he was young, good-looking, and a good singer. However, the competition among male stars is too fierce nowadays, and the risk of training him is too great.
Finally, both of them left...
Xiaoqi returned to the dormitory and ate a large piece of the fresh meat mooncake brought by Yunshu's family. He was afraid of choking before the competition and didn't dare to eat too much, but now he can eat it to his heart's content.
It’s really good, so greasy. When you eat it, you can feel the fragrance of sesame, the fat of the meat, and the layers of sweetness of the pancakes. This fresh meat mooncake is best eaten today. If you leave it for tomorrow, the fat will solidify and you’ll get sick of it.
Watching Xiaoqi eat two pieces of fresh meat mooncakes in one breath, the roommates have completely recovered from the surprise of seeing Xiaoqi go on stage. They originally felt a little distant. Is the person on the stage really their roommate?
Looking at Xiaoqi eating mooncakes seriously, fortunately, he is still the same Xiaoqi.
After eating the mooncakes, Xiaoqi rested for a while and started practicing calligraphy again. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and the lights in the dormitory will be turned off an hour later, at 12 o'clock.
Seeing that Xiaoqi won the first place in the top ten singers, she actually studied calligraphy as usual when she had free time. It's amazing... I don't know how she can be so calm.
Xiaoqi was actually not that calm. People from other dormitories came to visit her from time to time, and she really couldn't handle it. It would be best for her to just practice calligraphy.
Practicing calligraphy can calm the mood and restore the state. The competition of the top ten singers is over and her small goal has been achieved. Next is the marathon next month. Running is very simple for Xiaoqi. Now it is as common as eating and drinking water every day. Thirty thousand steps a day has become Xiaoqi's daily life.
But winning is not easy.
After several competitions, Xiaoqi discovered that there was only first place, no second or third place.
This idea is a bit sharp, but it is indeed reality, because after a game is over, people will only remember the first place and the champion, and the runner-up and third place will rarely be mentioned again.
So after practicing calligraphy, Xiaoqi went downstairs to run a few laps. His mind was very active while running.
Facing the night breeze, I feel very comfortable.
Finally, I completely withdrew from that stage in the evening.
Practicing calligraphy only made her feel calmer, as if she had suppressed her emotions.
Running releases those emotions.
Yes, there was a moment when Xiaoqi was also fascinated by the stage.
She was obsessed with the feeling of being the center of attention, as if it was another world, as if she was really a successful person, and had entered the fairy tale world she had heard of.
Fascinating.
But that's just an illusion.
It's just a competition for the top ten singers on campus, nothing more.
If you become addicted to this, stop there.
The world is still very wide and there are many, many things to do.
Like the little queen Ding Nan, who attracted everyone's attention when she went on stage and was cheered by countless students. Xiao Qi also felt envious, but now that she thought about it, she envied Teacher Lu even more.
She is gentle and elegant, and is nearly 70 years old, but still full of wisdom. Singing is just her hobby and a part of her life enjoyment. She is calm and at ease on and off the stage.
This kind of life is more exciting.
If you chase after applause, how will you deal with it when there is no applause?
Running drove out the utilitarianism and vanity that was brewing in Xiaoqi's heart, making him sober up again. He realized that he was just a student and that what was important was learning, not anything else.
The road of life is long, with many temptations and forks in the road, but the first road must be the brightest. The forks in the road are like shortcuts, and in fact no one knows where they lead to. At the end of the road is her original goal, and she will continue to walk.
After running, I went back to the dormitory to take a shower.
After taking a shower and going to bed, Xiaoqi fell into a peaceful dream.
Before going to bed, I thought that I could deposit the 20,000 yuan into my passbook. My parents would be very happy when they saw it.
