Yu Jiamu still did not reply.
At 6 p.m., the audience began to slowly enter the venue.
The performance officially begins at seven o'clock, preceded by performances from various departments.
Many of the students participating in the ensemble will also appear in their own department's performances, so changing clothes and rushing to put on makeup are involved, and every minute and second must be seized.
The teacher in charge of coordination grabbed a megaphone and shouted in the room, "Group three, is everyone in group three here?"
"Props, get ready to go on stage! You only have one minute!"
"You guys over there, make way for the aisle!"
The entire backstage area was in complete chaos, like a vegetable market.
A teacher wearing glasses rushed by and suddenly noticed Lin Zhenzhen sitting in the corner.
"Where's the makeup artist? Come here and touch up this student's makeup a bit more; it'll look better under the lights."
The makeup artist ran over with a bag, and as soon as she saw it was her, she immediately offered her opinion: "She looks perfect like this. Any more heavy makeup would make her look tacky and lose her current charm."
"No, she's going to get a close-up shot later, this is too plain."
In the end, the makeup artist gave in.
"Okay then... I'll change her lipstick color."
She squatted down in front of Lin Zhenzhen, took out several shades of lipstick from her bag, and tried them on her face.
"It's good to be fair-skinned; you can pull off any color."
"This one will do." She chose a bright tomato red and applied it to Lin Zhenzhen's lips.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad, really beautiful."
The makeup artist smiled and looked her over from all sides before suddenly having an idea.
"Little sister, let me add a few small glitters to your upper and lower eyelids."
Lin Zhenzhen nodded and obediently sat up straight, letting her do as she pleased.
She closed her eyes and felt fingers gently rubbing her eyelids.
"Open your eyes and let me see."
Lin Zhenzhen obediently opened her eyes and looked at her.
"Wow, it works really well."
The makeup artist's mood clearly brightened, and she took Lin Zhenzhen's hand, leading her to a brighter area.
"Wow, it's so beautiful! I'm so amazing, hahaha!"
Her maniacal laughter was quickly interrupted.
"Makeup artist, touch up my makeup here!"
"I'm off!" After running a couple of steps, she turned back. "Little sister, do you mind if I take a picture?"
......
"Is this the last program?"
"Yes, Miss Wang."
Wang Jingrou couldn't help but turn around and look at the entrance.
That kid is really patient. He can even hold back?
It was clearly my own idea to come, but I made her make the whole trip in a roundabout way.
It's so awkward.
"Dean Huang, aren't all the students who can participate in this ensemble performance very outstanding?"
"Of course." Seeing her interest, Dean Huang was about to give a proper introduction to the history of this cultural performance.
The stage lights suddenly dimmed.
Wang Jingrou gave a soft shushing sound and shifted her gaze to the stage.
Because it adopts the form of a musical drama, the entire program is divided into several acts.
The piano section precedes the orchestra, and there will be a brief curtain call because the equipment needs to be moved.
When the curtain slowly opened again, the lights had not yet come on, and the stage was completely dark.
The music came before the visuals.
The audience first heard melodious and gentle music, which was clearly a violin solo.
That soft, girlish murmur, slow and tender, quickly stirred people's emotions.
They couldn't help but close their eyes, immersing themselves in the beautiful music.
The lights came on at this moment, and the addition of the other musicians' piano playing made the mood of the whole piece even more intense.
The violin, viola, and cello, five instruments playing five parts, constitute a string quintet.
The girl in the very center is undoubtedly the focus of this stage.
Her long, flowing hair was piled high, revealing a section of her slender, fair swan neck.
Her chin rested on the violin, her left hand pressed the strings, and her right hand pulled the bow, pressing and moving across the strings.
"Oh, it's finally here."
Wang Jingrou was mostly awake now. She took out her phone, turned on the recording, and pointed it at the people on the stage.
But not long after the shoot began, the photographer with the close-up shots came on stage.
He stood in front of Lin Zhenzhen as if rooted to the spot, remaining motionless for a good ten seconds.
It looked like they were about to put a machine right in front of her face.
Wang Jingrou tried various angles, but failed to capture Lin Zhenzhen's face clearly.
She had no choice but to film the big screen instead.
Close-up shots were being transmitted in real time on the large screen; this was true close-up filming.
Under the high-definition camera, the curve of Lin Zhenzhen's eyelashes fluttering is clearly visible.
Her eyelids were like a galaxy, shimmering with tiny lights, so beautiful it was breathtaking.
Wang Jingrou sent the video recording over, and as the video feed kept spinning, she couldn't help but add a voice message.
"The image quality is so bad, it can't even capture a tenth of how pretty the little girl looks. My eyes are practically glued to the screen, let alone those hot-blooded little boys."
Hearing this, Dean Huang leaned over and asked, "Miss Wang, is this someone you know?"
"He's one of my juniors."
Upon seeing the message "Transfer successful," Wang Jingrou smiled charmingly.
There's nothing she can do; even after living for decades, she still enjoys watching those old-fashioned dramas of jealousy and rivalry.
After the string part ended, Lin Zhenzhen temporarily retreated backstage to await the final ensemble performance.
Wang Jingrou noticed that her attention was noticeably less focused during the ensemble performance than before.
