Chapter 439: Pretend to be powerful
With Shen Xia's opening remarks, the competition officially began.
Because there were so many people at the scene, for the convenience of management, the contestants were called to the backstage of the small auditorium from the beginning. Although Gong Yoo was the last to perform, as a contestant he could not escape the fate of going to the backstage.
Gong Yoo is not around and there are so many strangers around, so our "socially anxious Xiao Xi" can only stick to Sister Shen Xia.
Shen Xia rolled her eyes at Gu Chenxi and said with disdain, "Why, you thought of me when Kong Liu is not around?"
Although she said she was disgusted, Shen Xia was still happy in her heart.
You know, after Gu Chenxi started dating Kong Liu, Gu Chenxi rarely stuck to her like he does now.
Gu Chenxi pursed her lips and said calmly: "My boyfriend is not here, so I'll just settle for the next best thing."
"Okay, okay, I'm the secondary person, right?" Shen Xia said with a sad expression, "I'm sad, stay away from me."
"Oh, I was kidding!"
"But I took it seriously!"
Shen Xia pouted and crossed her arms across her chest, looking like she was waiting for Gu Chenxi to coax her.
"Oh my, the game has begun."
Gu Chenxi was also smart and changed the subject directly.
After two rounds of selection, the remaining contestants at least don’t sing too badly.
The first contestant’s performance was pretty good, and it got off to a great start. The song “Choose C” immediately ignited the atmosphere on the scene.
The second contestant was obviously shocked by the performance of the first contestant. He was a little nervous and started singing in the wrong tune. Fortunately, he corrected it quickly and there were no major problems with the whole song.
The next few contestants took to the stage one after another and their performances were also very good. There were occasional minor flaws, but they were all within the tolerable range.
After all, we are all amateurs, not professional singers, and this is not the recording site of "The Voice of China". Everyone is here to have fun. If you take it seriously, you will lose.
As long as he can bravely go on stage and sing a song completely, the audience deserves his applause!
Gong Yoo was feeling a bit bored backstage, so he held his guitar (lent to him by Feng Ying), walked out of the small auditorium through the back door, went to the entrance of the staircase, and sat on the steps.
Originally, he just wanted to play a few chords, try out the tone of the guitar, and get familiar with it, after all, he hadn't played it for a long time.
After trying a little, he couldn't help but start playing and singing.
[The sound of cars breaks the silence
Can hear but can't see
My shadow under the street light
It is the shortest distance...】
The song is called "Goodbye, Goodbye". The last time Gong Yoo sang it was on his high school graduation day.
When he was in high school, Gong Yoo was more low-key than he is now. He usually kept to himself and his grades were above average - no matter how difficult or easy the test paper was, he always managed to get an above average grade. Over the three years, his class ranking remained basically unchanged.
On the night after the college entrance examination, the high school class teacher gathered the entire class and held a graduation party in the classroom. That night, someone brought a guitar and wanted to show off, but unfortunately he played it very badly.
Gong Yoo took the initiative to borrow the guitar and then played and sang the song.
In just one song, Gong Yoo, the "little transparent kid in the class", instantly amazed everyone present.
It was not until this time that everyone realized that Gong Yoo was so talented and... he was not bad looking either.
Many girls were moved, and when Gong Yoo finished singing and returned to his seat, a few girls who thought they were good-looking took the initiative to talk to Gong Yoo, but unfortunately, they were directly ignored by him.
Because of this incident, Gong Yoo was labeled as "ugly and pretentious" shortly after graduation.
It’s a pity that he didn’t care about these things because he was traveling abroad at the time.
When the college entrance examination results came out, Gong Yoo used his score to show off. He, who usually kept a low profile and suppressed his scores, directly became the number one in the whole school. Jiaotong University extended an olive branch to him, and Gong Yoo's photo and name were also hung on the school's bulletin board for display, with the title - The genius boy who made a comeback in 30 days after the college entrance examination.
Gong Yoo's singing and playing happened to be heard by Du Hongyuan who was passing by on the way to the toilet. He did not disturb him, but took out his camera (a public camera of the Business School Student Union) and recorded the scene.
After Kong Yoo finished singing, Du Hongyuan also finished recording. He used the card reader he brought with him to transfer the video to his mobile phone.
While he was streaming the video, the light suddenly dimmed. He looked up and saw Gong Yoo already in front of him.
"What are you doing?"
"Cough cough."
Du Hongyuan looked like a thief. He coughed twice and said, "We are assembling the camera. It will be your turn soon. Why don't you go in?"
Gong Liu was not distracted by Du Hongyuan's words. He asked, "Did you hear me singing just now?"
Du Hongyuan replied: "Are you going to sing this song when you go on stage?"
Although he did not admit it directly, it was an implicit admission.
Gong Yoo smiled and said, "I was going to sing this song, but since you've heard it, I won't sing it."
Du Hongyuan's eyes widened and he said, "You are so awesome, how can you change the song?"
Gong Yoo gently kicked Du Hongyuan on the butt and said, "How dare you look down on your dam?"
"Fuck off!"
"Gong Yoo, Gong Yoo?"
The two were talking when the host suddenly came out from the back door and called out Gong Yoo's name twice towards the corridor.
Gong Liu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Du Hongyuan, so he turned around and ran over, saying, "I'm here!"
"Are you ready?" the host stared at Gong Yoo and said, "Your turn is just one more."
Gong Liu nodded confidently: "No problem."
The host looked at the cue card in his hand and asked, "What's the name of your song? Why isn't it on the playlist?"
Gong Yoo touched his chin and said, "Let me think about what I should sing."
"Ah!" the host asked in surprise, "It's already the finals, and you haven't decided what you're going to sing yet?"
"Now that I think of it, let's sing 'Don't Say Goodbye'!"
"Are you sure?"
Seeing Kong Yoo being so casual, the host felt a little unconfident.
"Yes, confirmed, this is it."
……
"Next, we welcome our last contestant, Gong Yoo, to the stage. The song he will sing is called "Don't Say Goodbye"!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Yoo walked out from the backstage.
The previous contestant should also be a contestant who plays and sings by himself, because there is a stool on the stage and the microphone is also on a stand.
The staff was originally planning to remove the stools, but when they saw Gong Yoo coming on stage holding a guitar, they did not do so.
When Du Hongyuan saw Gong Yoo coming on stage, he immediately set up his camera. Gong Yoo changed the song temporarily, which made him a little curious.
"Hello, nice to see you all again!"
Compared to the previous contestants who had stern faces and serious expressions, Gong Yoo was in a more relaxed state. He walked onto the stage with a smile, sat casually on a stool, and then greeted everyone in a friendly and natural manner.
Then, Kong Liu's eyes fell on Gu Chenxi's face, and the two looked at each other with full love.
Gong Yoo took out the small box that he showed to Gu Chenxi during the day from his pocket, and then slowly opened it. Gu Chenxi in the audience also became attentive.
Inside was actually a red lacquered wooden harmonica inlaid with gems!
Gong Yoo grabbed the harmonica and played a "special prelude".
[Beep~beep~beep~beep~beep~beep~beep~beep~]
The clear, gentle and melodious sound of the harmonica was like a switch, opening up the beautiful memories of junior high and high school for everyone present.
Those days and nights of working hard for a certain goal, those sweat and tears shed for the dream, those people lost, missed, and reluctant to part with, all turned into notes at this moment, entering the ears and even the heart, and the memories once again flooded into my mind...
Shen Xia couldn't help but pull Gu Chenxi aside and ask, "How many musical instruments can your boyfriend play?"
Gu Chenxi shook his head innocently and said, "I don't know either!"
Shen Xia thought that Gu Chenxi had known that Gong Yoo was going to do this tonight, but in fact, Gu Chenxi was just like everyone else and had just seen Gong Yoo's "secret weapon".
