Chapter 49: Singing Accompaniment
"I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to perform with me again?" Xiao Keer extended an invitation to Liu Lan in front of nearly 500,000 viewers in front of and behind the screen.
In front of everyone, Liu Lan couldn't refuse. Besides, Xiao Ke'er's smile was full of kindness and friendliness. Although she used Liu Lan to promote herself, this was also an opportunity for ordinary people to become famous.
Liu Lan turned off her live broadcast room, put her phone in her bag, and walked forward.
The electronic keyboard player left to make room for Liu Lan. Liu Lan walked to Xiao Keer and entered the camera of Xiao Keer's live broadcast room.
"Wow, she is really a super beauty."
"Yeah, it looks like she's still wearing no makeup."
"Our little Ke'er never uses beauty filters. She can still maintain this beauty under this kind of lens. She is truly a goddess-level figure."
"No wonder the previous video was so popular. Everyone has sharp eyes and can tell what a real beauty looks like."
"Xiao Ke'er asked her to come here, is she going to be a vase again?"
...
...
"What a vase, could you please speak more nicely?"
. . . . . .
Because it was too cold, Liu Lan was also wearing a down jacket today, the same long black down jacket. The bulky clothes wrapped her tightly, but made her face look even smaller. Her cheeks were blown red by the wind, like two balls of rouge.
Xiao Keer's live broadcast room was very lively, and the atmosphere on the scene was equally enthusiastic. Liu Lan felt that countless pairs of eyes were looking at her and countless mobile phones were pointed at her. This scene was even more exaggerated than the last time in the music restaurant. To be honest, Liu Lan was a little nervous.
A cold hand suddenly held her hand. Liu Lan turned her head and saw Xiao Keer winking and smiling at her. Xiao Keer whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here too."
Liu Lan was infected by her smile, and a smile appeared on her tense face, like a plum blossom blooming in this cold winter day.
"My God, she looks so beautiful when she smiles."
“What a heart-thumping smile.”
“Who knows if she is a star or not?”
"Anyway, I haven't seen her before. She should be just an ordinary passerby."
"Tsk, go find an ordinary passerby like this on the street."
"Yes, some passers-by are good-looking, but temperament is something else. Without a good environment from childhood and a good upbringing through words and deeds, you can't have it."
Xiao Keer picked up the guitar and said to the audience, "I invited the young lady here because I wanted to sing "Thinking of You" to her again in person. She is my lucky star and I like her very much." That short Douyin video made "Thinking of You" popular before it was officially released, and Liu Man contributed greatly to this.
Xiao Keer's words of love made Liu Lan feel very comforted. She also liked Xiao Keer. The confession between girls is sometimes very simple, and their love is also very simple. Maybe it's just a good eye contact that can lead to a friendship.
After Xiao Ke'er finished speaking, she slid her fingers on the guitar strings and played the prelude of "Thinking of You". The audience had calmed down and were ready to listen to the song. Suddenly, Liu Man grabbed Xiao Ke'er's arm and stopped her from playing. Xiao Ke'er was caught off guard and her fingers slid across the guitar, making a harsh noise that was particularly abrupt and caused an uproar in the audience.
"What is she doing?"
"Are you here to cause trouble?"
"Are you jealous of Xiao Ke'er's fame?"
. . . . . .
Everyone was talking about it, and Xiao Keer looked at Liu Lan in confusion. Liu Lan said, "You just played the guitar for a long time, and your fingers are almost frozen. Take a rest."
Xiao Ke'er subconsciously retracted her hand, then shook her head, "No, I'm still live streaming, I can't stop." Xiao Ke'er's contract with the live streaming platform and the record company stipulates that for each of her live streaming, the platform will give her the best recommendation position, and at the same time, she must ensure the quality of the live streaming, otherwise she will have to compensate the platform and the record company for their losses. In order to fulfill the contract, she has been running all over the country for the past month without even taking a break.
Everyone only sees the glamorous side of celebrities, but they don’t know the hard work behind them. It is not easy for Xiao Keer to struggle from an unknown grassroots to her current status, and the hardships she has endured are unimaginable to ordinary people.
Liu Lan's voice just now was quite loud, and it came through the microphone. The audience in the live broadcast room saw most directly that Xiao Ke'er's hands were red from the cold.
"I feel sorry for our little Ke'er. It's so cold, and she has been playing the guitar for a long time."
"The phone was so close and I didn't notice it. I'm not a good fan."
"Xiao Ke'er, stop playing the guitar and put on a pair of gloves or put your hands in your pockets to warm them up. We are not in a hurry and can listen to the music later."
"Yeah, yeah, we both have time to wait."
The audience on the Internet are hiding in their beds or in heated rooms to watch the live broadcast. They can wait, but that doesn't mean the audience on site will be so easy to deal with, because everyone is standing in the cold wind to watch and they are all freezing. If Xiao Ke'er complains about the cold and wants to take a break, it will cause dissatisfaction and unrest.
Xiao Ke'er's hands were indeed numb from the cold, especially the knuckle of her index finger, which was somewhat numb, but she smiled bitterly at Liu Lan and said, "I must continue singing."
She is at the rising stage of her career and has finally signed a contract with a regular record company. Any mistake could lead to her being blacklisted.
Liu Lan flipped open the music score on the electronic keyboard stand in front of her. There was the score of "Thinking of You". She quickly glanced through the score and said to Xiao Ke'er, "I'll play the piano. Can you just sing?"
Xiao Keer was completely stunned. She looked at Liu Lan's convincing eyes and nodded blankly. The company stipulated that she must complete the live broadcast, but did not say that she had to keep playing and singing by herself.
Liu Lan placed her hands on the keys, tested the sound first, and then played the prelude of "Thinking of You". At the beginning, it sounded unfamiliar, as there is a difference between the electronic keyboard and the piano. But Liu Lan soon adapted to the feel of the electronic keyboard and continued playing.
After all, Liu Lan is a professional piano student. Even if her grades are at the bottom, her fingering and techniques are more than enough to play a popular song.
The noisy environment, which was originally disturbed by Liu Lan's interruption, suddenly became quiet. Everyone was attracted by Liu Lan's piano playing, not because of her superb skills, but because this scene was too magical.
The girl who was regarded as a vase by everyone suddenly began to accompany their favorite singer. It seemed that she had no preparation in advance and was completely improvising. In the eyes of laymen, she played very well.
The audience in the live broadcast room also watched intently...
Accompanied by Liu Lan, Xiao Keer began to sing, "The autumn wind is getting cooler, I see fallen leaves all over the garden, I am in a trance, the young master has been gone for many years..."
