【191 performance at the Welcome Party】

The next morning, Amelia and Fernando flew back to Yanjing by flight, and hurriedly met Xiao Yitian to express their gratitude, leaving behind Amelia's contact information, agreeing that regardless of whether the matter was successful or not, they would come to China again in three months, and then they would appear as an investment delegation.

When they were still in Rongcheng, they got information about Xiao Yitian and Long Ao through the Spanish Embassy in China. They had no good way to repay Long Ao. After all, they wanted money, power, women, and good cultivation. So they could only wait until they rescued Amelia's grandfather and discuss with the family to pay for one of the treasures of the tribe. Xiao Yitian was relatively simple. Although his family was considered a person with status in Yangping, they still had

It is not as good as Long Ao. Through short contact, they also knew that for Xiao Yitian, who could get full marks in the college entrance examination, simple financial rewards would appear to be relatively superficial, and the treasures of the clan could not be given out in a row, not to mention that Long Ao is the real effort. After some discussion, they decided to organize the business resources of both families after returning to China and go to Yangping to invest. This would be equivalent to giving Xiao Yitian's father, who is the secretary of the municipal party committee, which is much better than giving money directly.

Xiao Yitian didn't know what they thought. Although Amelia promised to thank him for a treasure of the clan at the beginning, he didn't take it seriously. For members of the dark council like the Cervantes family, the so-called treasure of the clan is definitely not an antique painting or something, and it is mostly a treasure with powerful functions. But he didn't plan to think so much about cultivation. It's enough to have a "Nine Heavens Mystery", so he is very satisfied with the return on commercial investment. He doesn't care whether he can increase his political achievements to his father. After all, with his father's ability, he can do a good job without external help. It's a matter of time before promotion, but the benefits of investment to the people of Yangping are very important. Born here and raised here, Xiao Yitian's deep feelings for Yangping are absolutely impossible to compare with the second city.

The three-day National Day holiday has passed while talking. After the start of school, Xiao Yitian and everyone devoted themselves to the band's practice. There is less than two weeks before the welcome party. The bands that have been established need to be further adjusted, so everyone has spent a lot of energy on practice during this period. Fortunately, because they practiced with existing repertoire, they did not need to worry about it. In addition to the nine people who needed to perform on stage, only Ran Xiong, who is in charge of the venue, follows them every day and is familiar with the preparation work of various instruments.

Because it was the first time the band performed publicly on campus, Xiao Yitian decided to let Nan Nan and Zhao Peidi show their faces together. In this way, the three lead singers gathered together to practice chorus, and the two lead guitarists Li Canping and Ling Boli practiced synchronous cooperation. With the melody guitarists Shi Mengqi and Bass Duanxuan, the four of them kept trying to combine the sounds. Keyboard player Ran Jia and drummer Shen Jing also added to coordinate the rhythm while practicing alone.

Zhou Daheng once jokingly asked Zeng Peifeng, aren’t you afraid of sparks from Li Canping and Ling Boli? Zeng Peifeng rolled his eyes and replied: “If he is not afraid of death, just wipe it off!” One sentence showed the queen’s style, and Zhou Daheng was so happy that he used this to make fun of Li Canping.

In addition to practicing in the band, Xiao Yitian had to deal with harassment from the student union. As the first top scorer in the college entrance examination in history, entering the student union was a fate that he could not escape. After returning from military training, the student union and the student union came to him every few days, and even the teachers in the college also talked to him, implying that he would participate in the student union election.

To be honest, Xiao Yitian really has no interest in this. He has long possessed the one that the student union can train. However, considering that he has to stay in college for four years, he has to compromise. After all, everyone is carrying the flower sedan chairs, and the school is so obvious. It would be a bit unreasonable to disagree.

So he gloriously became the most shining candidate in the upcoming student union change, no one. But to everyone's surprise, his position was actually the Minister of Sports! Regarding this choice, Xiao Yitian's original words were like this: "I know everyone thinks I will run for the position of President of the Student Union, but I have been in high school for two years and have accumulated enough experience. I should leave the opportunity for exercise to the classmates who need it more! As for why I ran for the Minister of Sports, to be honest, this is because the Minister of Sports is probably the most idle among all the ministerial positions of the Student Union or above. I have many private affairs. If I hold another position, it may have a certain impact on my work."

Some people may say, since you have a lot of things, why don’t you just be an ordinary person?

Please! If the top scorer in the college entrance examination is only an ordinary official in the student union, what would others think of the student union? If you have such a great talent, you don’t need it. Is there any fairness in this student union?

Therefore, it is not impossible to do it, but it is impossible to do it!

After a period of practice, the Illusion Band has three songs that can be performed. Xiao Yitian selected two Chinese songs and one English song, namely "Grandma's Penghuwan", "Childhood" and the classic English song "the.sound.of.silence" that is well-known to everyone, and the classic English song "the.sound.of.silence" that has been circulated in the world with the movie "Graduate".

On the night of the welcome party, Yanda’s auditorium was full of seats. Those who came late and had no seats were crowded in the aisle. At first glance, the darkness was covered with heads. The conversations of thousands of people gathered into a huge noise, which could be heard even in the backstage through the cement wall.

All members of the Illusion Band arrived at the auditorium early tonight. During the previous rehearsals, they were already familiar with the backstage staff. In addition, they were also members of the band, so no one rushed them away. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they occupied the front seats, which made those who came late jealous.

Half an hour before the party started, the performers had to report to the backstage. Xiao Yitian led the eight other people who were about to appear on stage and Ran Xiong, who was in charge of the venue, to the backstage through the side channel.

After determining the order of appearances for each performance program again, the teacher in charge of organizing the evening party asked everyone to take the time to rest and adjust their condition. The large room in the backstage also played relaxed music that could make people feel relaxed, which greatly reduced everyone's nervousness for a while.

Xiao Yitian naturally would not be frightened in such a small scene. He suffered a loss in this aspect in his previous life, so he later consciously trained his abilities in this aspect. With the effect of the Nine Heavens Mystery Art after rebirth, he no longer felt nervous in public. Not to mention that there were thousands of people in a large auditorium, he would not be afraid even if he was asked to go to the place where the Gongti System could accommodate tens of thousands of audiences to hold a concert.

According to domestic practice, the school leaders gave a brief speech before the party began. Fortunately, the school leaders of Yan University do not have the habit of taking things to a certain level at any time. They simply expressed the school’s welcome to freshmen and wished everyone to enjoy their college life in the school.

With two hosts, one man and one woman, on the stage, the welcome party officially kicked off.

The first few shows were wonderful performances, songs, dances, sketches, martial arts, and different types of high-level programs brought to freshmen by seniors in sophomore and juniors. Half an hour after the party started, it was Xiao Yitian and the others' turn to play.

"The next program is ready!" A student union clerk ran to the backstage and shouted at the top of his voice: "Who should be the next program?"

Xiao Yitian stood up and responded, "It's our turn."

When the officer saw that it was him, he immediately walked over with a smile on his face, "Ha, it's you, hurry up and clean up. As soon as this show is over, you can go to the Taiwan side with me to wait."

Xiao Yitian waved Ran Xiong in the morning and signaled him to help him get the instrument together. Among the instruments of several people, the guitar and bass were carried by the actors themselves, but the keyboard and drums could not be carried by the drummers themselves...

After leaving the lounge in the backstage, a deafening whistling sound rushed towards him. Xiao Yitian walked forward without changing his face, and the people behind him changed their faces. They had no experience of performing before. They were fine when they were in the lounge. Now, when they walked out, they thought that they would perform under the gaze of thousands of people, and their calves were a little twitching, so only Ran Xiong was a little better. After all, he didn't need to appear. When he went up to place the instruments and collected the instruments, there was a curtain blocking them in front.

After walking a few steps, Xiao Yitian couldn't help but turn his head to look, but saw that several people were pale and looked weak, and could not take steps.

"What's wrong? This is?"

"I...I...I'm nervous!" Nan Nan was quite calm, and at least he could speak.

Xiao Yitian glanced at the others and couldn't help but laugh. Zhao Peidi, who had always been swaying in front of him, has now almost shrunk himself into a quail. Even Li Canping, who claims to have had performance experience in high school, still had two battles and was about to escape.

If it were normal times, Xiao Yitian might have the intention to tease them, but now he will be on stage soon. There will be no trouble at this critical moment, otherwise the hallucination band’s signature would have been ruined!

So he walked over, reached out and patted everyone's shoulders, crossed a trace of true energy. As the true energy wandered around them, the nervous mood disappeared, replaced by calmness and calmness. Seeing that their expressions had returned to normal, Xiao Yitian reached out and snapped his fingers.

"Walk!"

Ran Xiong said foolishly: "Where to go?"

Xiao Yitian subconsciously replied: "Tianzhu!" After saying that, he realized that this was one of the classic dialogues in "A Chinese Odyssey".

This inadvertent detail made everyone completely relax and came to the Taiwan side to wait for the moment when they came on stage.

The music on the stage gradually disappeared. Amid the audience's applause, the performers of the previous show ran over with happy smiles, stretched out their hands to Xiao Yitian and the others and shouted "Come on", and then ran into the backstage lounge.

Inspired by their enthusiasm, everyone unconsciously raised their chests.

The officer who led the way turned around and waved, "Put the things up!"

Xiao Yitian and Ran Xiong did not dare to neglect, so they quickly moved all the things they needed to the stage, and then they took their seats. Ran Xiong ran back to the side of the Taiwan area after confirming that there was no problem.

As the host's report was reported, the dark red velvet curtain was slowly pulled open, revealing the hallucination band members who had already posed behind them.

"Wow……"

As the applause sounded like a tsunami, Xiao Yitian's reputation had spread in the school, but most people only heard of his name but did not recognize him. Now that the real person who had the opportunity to see him, no matter how far he was, they all opened their eyes wide, wanting to see if this magical top scorer was different from the legend.

Of course, there are also quite a few viewers - basically boys, and the applause is for other members of the band. After the establishment of the Illusion Band, the school has gradually spread. However, most boys are not focused on the band itself, but on the beautiful members inside!

The curtain was completely opened, the headlights went out, and a group of small lights projected lights on the nine people in the band, vaguely putting them on a layer of romantic coat.

The music started, "Grandma's Penghuwan" was the first song to be sung. The audience here can be said to have grown up by listening to this song. As soon as the prelude sounded, everyone hummed softly.

After singing a song, the applause shook the sky.

Next, the light changed from light blue to light green. A tender child sound suddenly sounded on the stage, and a widely circulated nursery rhyme was sang. Just as everyone was singing the nursery rhyme, the music started, and Luo Dayou's "Childhood" attracted everyone's humming again.

I have to say that the band's performance was very successful. Originally, these two songs were just guitar accompaniment, but Xiao Yitian had the colorful music adaptation methods of later generations, so he added some rock elements to these two campus folk songs with a gentle mood, which sounded unique.

The third track to be performed is "the.sound.of.silence", which is also very popular in everyone's heart. With the sound of the lead guitar and keyboard synchronously, Xiao Yitian sang it in a unique voice.

“hello darkness…”

The melody of the music echoed gently in the auditorium. Everyone fell silent, listened quietly and felt the deep feelings contained in the song with their hearts.

At the end of the song, Xiao Yitian gently put the microphone back on the bracket. Nan Nan and Zhao Peidi also placed the microphones in their hands. The three of them held hands and bowed to the audience below. At this time, the curtain slowly closed and blocked the people on the stage.

Xiao Yitian turned his head and waved to Ran Xiong who was waiting by the side of the Taiwan side. The latter immediately ran over to help carry things. After everyone retreated into the backstage, Zhao Peidi suddenly asked: "Is our performance... considered successful?"

Xiao Yitian nodded, "Of course!"

"Then... why don't they applaud?" She was a little disbelief. If it was really successful, she had to give some applause to express her, right? Even if she didn't perform well and was broken, there should be booing. However, as now, the performance was in the backstage, and the audience didn't even respond.

Xiao Yitian turned his head and looked at her with a profound smile, "Sometimes, it's more rare than applause without applause!"

"Go! Pretend to be a master again!" Zhao Peidi didn't buy his account at all. This was not the first time. Whenever she had any questions, Xiao Yitian would always give a specious answer to let her guess the riddles desperately. In this case, it would be strange if her attitude was good. If it weren't for the success of the performance, she wouldn't have listened to Xiao Yitian's arrangements these days and spent a lot of time practicing every day!

At this moment, a warm applause suddenly sounded outside. The applause was even louder than before. The applause was not enough to describe its momentum!

Everyone was startled and couldn't help but look at each other. Could it be... this applause was for the band?

Xiao Yitian coughed lightly, "Okay, go to the lounge to have a rest. In short, the band's first performance has achieved a satisfactory result. After the party ends later, I will invite everyone to have a late-night snack!"

When everyone heard that there was food, everyone's attention was immediately diverted and they asked about where they wanted to go. These days, because of the concert, the band had lunch and dinner collectively in restaurants outside the school, but they found out where there was delicious food around.

In the audience, a handsome and sunny boy looked in the direction of the backstage and murmured: "I didn't expect... There are indeed such masters of sound skills in this world. It seems that this evening has not been in vain..."

He lowered his head and glanced at the program list in his hand in the dim light, "Xiao Yitian... Haha, I'm starting to become interested in you, I hope you won't let me down..."

Xiao Yitian, who didn't know that when he was singing "the.sound.of.silence", used his newly realized charming technique and attracted someone's attention on a whim, was fighting with Zhao Peidi very happily. Seeing their funny appearance as if they were facing a big enemy, almost everyone in the lounge laughed. Those who had not yet performed took this opportunity to completely relax.

After the welcome party that lasted for two hours, most of the audience reluctantly left the auditorium and returned to normal life. In addition, a small number of people were unwilling to leave. They wanted to go to the backstage to have a close contact with the performers of their favorite program - in fact, there was no need for this. Everyone usually lived in the same school and was not a big star. After passing through this village, there would be no store.

Fortunately, the students who guard the backstage are more responsible and refuse to let go no matter what you say, which also avoids harassment from people in the backstage lounge.

The late-night snack that Xiao Yitian promised to invite was forced to be rescheduled. Because of the great success of the party, the teacher in charge of organizing the party decided to use public funds to ask everyone out for a good time. Anyway, the school is reimbursed for the money, and it will not be spent on nothing!

However, not everyone involved in the performance had to go. Some students had already made arrangements, so only 30 people were going to have a midnight snack in the end, and most of them were dancing girls. Seeing this, Xiao Yitian discussed with the teacher in charge of the organization and called the other members of the band together. No one objected to this change. After all, it was very pleasing to the eye. Besides, the people who paid for the money didn't say anything, so others had no position to object.

So the team of nearly 60 people made an appointment to gather at the main entrance of the school, then dispersed and went back to the dormitory to change clothes.
Chapter completed!
