Chapter 20: Sister Wu Plays Musical Instruments with Ease, Everyone Sweating Profusely
"There's nothing we can do, the player's circuitry is completely burned out."
When Pei Jinwu arrived backstage, the technicians were "urgently" repairing the equipment, saying it "wouldn't be fixed in a few hours."
"A few hours?" The staff member paced anxiously nearby. "We can't keep the judges waiting, can we?!"
They're all regional leaders; we can't afford to offend them!
"Director Chen, is this alright?"
Someone chimed in casually, "It's just a private school, not that important."
"Either dance a cappella or go straight off the stage. Anyway, the rest of the show is all about playing instruments, so there's really no need for a backing track player."
private school?
Director Chen glanced at the list.
Huagao, right?
I heard that the student body is not good enough and the school will have to be closed next year, so it doesn't matter whether students jump ship or not.
The latter few, however, are all good high schools in the West District.
We'll inevitably have to interact in the future, so we definitely can't be negligent.
"Then just let her go—"
The leader thought about it and thought the suggestion was acceptable, and was about to issue the order.
"Who said she didn't have accompaniment?"
A clear, cold voice rang out from behind.
"?"
Upon hearing the sound, the leader and several staff members turned around at the same time.
A girl wearing the uniform of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and a baseball cap stood there, one hand in her pocket, her eyes fixed on them with a cold and aloof gaze.
Even from a distance, when you can't see her face clearly, you can still feel her powerful aura.
Um?
Does Huagao High School really have such outstanding students?
"What do you mean, student?" Director Chen looked at her with suspicion.
"?"
The technicians also looked at her, feeling slightly flustered.
Could it be that she can fix it?
"All the instruments on stage can be used, right?"
As Pei Jinwu asked the question, she took off her school uniform jacket and rolled up the sleeves of her hoodie.
"?" Director Chen nodded, somewhat bewildered: "It works."
Drum set, piano, violin, cello, electric guitar...
The cultural center has made comprehensive preparations to facilitate student performances.
"OK."
Pei Jinwu tossed her school uniform aside and, to the astonishment of the others, walked straight to a pile of musical instruments.
"???"
"???"
The technicians and Director Chen and other responsible persons were all dumbfounded.
Is this girl going to play "Dawn" on the spot?
They knew all too well how complex this piece of music was.
Even if Xuan Yue himself came, he might not be able to type it out on the spot...
"..."
Zhao Qianqian waited on stage for several minutes, but instead of music, she heard grumbling and complaints from the audience.
Most of the time, they let her go.
Some people say that Huagao deliberately stirred up trouble.
Zhao Qianqian was under immense mental pressure, biting her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.
Just then—
"I'll go along with your pace."
Zhao Qianqian turned around abruptly and saw Pei Jinwu sitting in front of the piano, looking at her calmly.
"Today's fog!"
The pale yellow light fell on her, like a sparkling little sun, instantly warming her frozen heart.
Zhao Qianqian's eyes immediately reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes.
But he knew that the most important thing at this moment was to finish the performance.
She took a deep breath, relaxed, and got ready.
What is the girl in the corner doing?
Those below also noticed Pei Jinwu, their faces full of doubt: "Is she going to perform live?"
"The piece 'Dawn' involves more than a dozen instruments, and she can play it all by herself. I'd cut off my head and give it to her as a ball paddle!"
"Hua Gao really knows how to make a fool of himself, making one mistake every year, and never repeating the same one."
Shen Yunrou's face remained expressionless; she even seemed to want to laugh.
Does she not even know if she can play a musical instrument?
She spent all her time following her grandfather into the mountains; a country girl, a country bumpkin.
I doubt he's ever even touched a piano.
Can you play the tune of "Dawn"?
joke!
The judges also quieted down, staring at the two people on the stage with suspicion.
"bite--"
As everyone was speculating and wondering, the sound of a piano filled the hall.
Immediately afterwards.
Zhao Qianqian waved her hands and danced gracefully.
After the piano music finished, Pei Jinwu placed the cello beside her, played the piano with her left hand and the cello with her right, and the melodious music resounded throughout the hall.
Zhao Qianqian quickly immersed herself in the music, bringing the entire stage to life.
Immediately afterwards.
When the piano, cello, and drums sound simultaneously, it sounds exactly the same as "Dawn".
Even the live sound effects are better and more explosive.
finally.
When Pei Jinwu changed parts and started playing the drums, the entire audience erupted in cheers and some even broke down in their seats.
"ah?"
"ah??"
"ah???"
"No, she's serious! Playing all the instruments by herself?"
"Brother who was beheaded, you must be sweating buckets, right?!"
"My aunt, my grandma, my cotton-padded trousers, my coat, my brain turned into a jujube!"
"Wow, Sister Wu, Sisi..."
The students of Huagao High School all stood up, but Principal Song made them sit down because they were too excited.
Principal Song's breathing became erratic, and his eyes reddened with emotion.
What wonderful children!
How could that be?
Not far away, Shen Yunrou sat there like a puppet, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Pei Jinwu has been good at nothing but eating since she was a child.
How come she knows how to play musical instruments?
There are so many varieties!
Shen Yunrou's eyes were filled with malice, guessing that it must have been that old man who secretly made her learn it!
If Pei Jinwu causes her to lose the competition...
We will never let her get away with this!
——
A live performance featuring a solo act, a band, and stunning dance.
The atmosphere was completely hyped, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the two people on the stage.
Some people have even started discussing it excitedly.
Huagao's programs are better than those of Imperial College.
I predict that Huagao will definitely be the winner this time.
"Are these two students from Huagao High School?"
The judges started discussing it, and their smiles were noticeably brighter than when they watched the show before.
"I've never heard of this school before! The students are so talented!"
"The dance was good; the emotion and technique were both sufficient, perfectly capturing the essence of 'Dawn'."
After praising Zhao Qianqian, the female judge turned her gaze to Pei Jinwu, her eyes shining: "This girl is beautiful and has a great temperament. It's amazing that she hasn't been discovered by a talent scout."
not to mention.
She can play "Dawn" perfectly without notes, which is truly genius!
A person like that couldn't possibly not be famous!
It seemed like he had thought of something.
The female judge took out her phone and sent Jiang Jibai a message: "Aren't you always looking for a female lead for your music video? I have someone in mind."
Jiang Jibai quickly replied: [Busy lately, can't see you]
The main problem is that I've seen too many, and I still can't find the right one.
resist.
Female judge: [A stunning beauty, a woman of exceptional talent and elegance, truly no regrets?]
Jiang Jibai: [No]
——
Five minutes later.
As the last note faded on the piano, Zhao Qianqian's dance came to an end.
The audience was silent for a few seconds, then burst into enthusiastic applause.
The moment the lights went out, Pei Jinwu put on her school uniform and quietly left from the corner.
Zhao Qianqian waited for her score on the stage.
"Who is playing this? It's so beautiful!"
"Has Huagao High School really gone on a roll this year? The students are so amazing!"
"I'm betting on spicy strips! Huagao will definitely be number one today!"
"Didn't the Imperial Academy advertise that Shen Yunrou would be on the cover of the news? Isn't this a slap in the face?"
"The Imperial City?" someone sneered. "They always think they're number one, and now they've finally gotten a beating, haven't they?!"
"The scores haven't come out yet."
Emperor Zhong, accustomed to arrogance and self-importance, immediately jumped up to refute.
The words had barely left his mouth.
The host's voice rang out: "The scores are in!"
——
Good night.
