After the poor daughter was exposed: bigwigs from all walks of life went crazy

The last time Shen Shu came to the auditorium was on the opening ceremony day. The teaching building of Grade 1 is relatively close to here, and it only takes three or four minutes to walk there.

The red and white European dome has a floor area of ​​about 1,800 square meters, and the circular stepped seats can accommodate more than 900 people, half surrounding the central stage. Because it was newly built in the past two years, all the facilities inside are very new.

Shen Shu raised his hand, pushed open the half-open door of the auditorium, and walked in.

A melodious and lively piano sound echoed in the empty auditorium. A young man in a blue and white school uniform was sitting in front of a black grand piano on the stage, playing the piano attentively.

He played the 18th variation of Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini", which is the theme song of the Hollywood classic movie "Around 70 Years". It is also hailed as the most beautiful melody of the 20th century.

This variation not only requires high skills, but also has a lot of contrast between strong and weak. Shen Shu had guessed that Lu Bai's playing level would be very high, but he didn't expect it to be so good.

The front rows of seats were filled with students who came for the rehearsal, about 70 to 80 people. I looked at the backstage entrance in the distance and it was also crowded.

There are instrumental groups, singing groups, dancing groups, and drama groups. Because the performance selection will be officially held in the school tomorrow night, everyone is busy with their own performances.

All the students from the student union were present, coordinating the logistics and the work on and behind the scenes of the rehearsal, and everyone was very busy.

She had never felt this kind of atmosphere since she transferred from an international school in Beijing in her previous life. She was busy with part-time jobs in college and had no time to participate in such activities.

When Shen Shu walked backstage, Lu Bai had just finished playing. Applause immediately echoed in the auditorium, especially the students in the instrumental group who clapped the loudest.

They were all in the same category, so naturally they could all tell that Lu Bai's playing level was very high. The students who also signed up for piano solos looked at him with more complicated expressions, with admiration mixed with helplessness.

Tomorrow the school will select only three programs from the nearly one hundred places and submit them to Zhengzhou TV. The most promising program in the instrumental group is the piano solo, and Lu Bai's performance level is far beyond theirs, so there is no hope of advancing at all.

"I heard that Lu Bai has the gift of absolute pitch. It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others."

"At least we are all participants. At least we can get a participation award and add credits to the class."

Shen Shu also agreed with their idea. She hadn't touched the piano for more than ten years. She just wanted to be a runner-up quietly.

“The charm of music can transcend time and the sea of ​​stars.”

"Now, we would like to invite Gu Xingye, a student from the Grade 1 International Class, to perform the fingerstyle guitar piece "Like a star" for us."

Chu Qingqing and Jin Yuhao went on stage with cue cards in hand and began rehearsal announcements as hosts.

Not only do they have to host the school's selection competition, but they also have to go to the TV station as student host representatives. The workload is very heavy and they are busy around the clock every day.

Gu Xingye walked out from the backstage holding a natural wood-colored guitar, and many people in the audience started screaming.

The fingerstyle guitar playing method is different from the traditional playing and singing. It is purely born for showing off skills, with diverse techniques and a relatively high degree of difficulty.

Just by listening to Gu Xingye's prelude, you can tell that he has at least four or five years of experience, and his skills and techniques are very solid.

"Didn't you sign up for the show?"

When Lu Bai came to the backstage, he saw Shen Shu sitting in the corner at first sight.

"Our class didn't sign up for three programs, so our head teacher pulled us here to fill in the numbers." Shen Shu shrugged and said with a helpless smile.

"What did you report..." Lu Subai, who was sitting next to her, stopped talking before he could finish his words. He saw the music score that Shen Shu was writing.

This tune was something he had never seen before, and the melody was clearly different from traditional and current pop music.

"Is this your original creation?" He looked at the music score with surprise, and the admiration in his eyes could not be suppressed.

"Well, let's play it on the piano later to see the effect."

To be precise, this is the score she wrote in her previous life. Because of her racing career, she met many friends from various industries, including a famous electronic music DJ, from whom she learned a lot of composition knowledge.

Since she got started late, she spent more than two years polishing this song in her previous life. Before she could release it, she encountered Adrian's mountain bombing incident.

She came on as a last-minute replacement and had no time to prepare the music, so she had to try her luck and change the electronic music into a piano piece.

Students who had finished rehearsal could return to the classroom early, but when Lu Bai heard that Shen Shu was going to perform next, he took the initiative to stay.

"Li Rao, your classical solo dance will definitely be selected. I have never seen anyone in our school who dances better than you."

"I still can't forget the time you jumped in junior high school."

Several girls surrounded Li Rao and came to the backstage, chattering, and their words were full of praise.

Li Rao was already used to hearing this kind of talk, so she walked towards the fitting room without taking it seriously, ready to see if the custom-made dance costume would fit her.

This was the first time Shen Shu had seen Li Rao since Huo Ruman's scandal. She looked a little haggard under her delicate makeup, but her proud posture showed no sign of weakness.

The bag she was carrying attracted a lot of people's attention along the way.

Shen Shu curled the corners of her lips calmly. Isn't this the fake Hermès that she gave to Huo Ruman? It seems that the demolition of the building will be completed soon.

The program was rehearsed until the end of the lunch break. Since she came at the last minute, she could only be arranged behind all the programs. She would be arranged into the instrumental group during the official selection tomorrow.

The students who were rehearsing in the auditorium had already left, and the student union members were also finishing up the work. Shen Shu had just finished writing the score for this adapted version of the song.

She wasn't too sure what the effect would be if she adapted it into a piano piece.

"Go ahead and give it a try." Lu Bai's eyes were filled with encouragement and expectation.

On the stage, a bench in front of the tripod piano was pulled out, and slender white fingers gently stroked the black and white keys one by one.

Sitting in front of the piano again, all the events of his previous life flashed back in Shen Shu's mind like a kaleidoscope.

She closed her eyes and sighed softly, rubbing her fingertips over the keys and playing the first note.

At this moment, the afternoon sun shines through the stained glass windows of the auditorium, and colorful and lively light and shadows shine on the stage, like youth going back in time, and also like the burning gazes of the young people below the stage.
