In the past few days, Sun Hao and the others had a monotonous daily life. Apart from training, they were rehearsing. Their lives were quite fulfilling. In the past few days, the members of Haotian Band almost did not leave the hotel. They spent every day rehearsing. The intensity was even more difficult than the three months of training during the preliminaries.
At this time, the stage of the 10,000-people stadium in B City was also successfully completed under the intense work of the construction team sent by the competition organizing committee. It could be said that all the preparations were now over, and they were only waiting for the arrival of the official performance.
December 15th, 1999, in front of the 10,000-people stadium in B City. Hundreds of armed police officers were currently forming a cordon around the stadium. It could be said that there was a sentry every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. It wasn't supposed to be so strict, but this year was the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The country had just held a military parade in the capital, so the government attached great importance to this mass activity. Therefore, it sent almost two companies of troops to maintain the safety of the competition. At the same time, the public security department also sent a large number of police officers to coordinate the martial law. These armed police and police officers imposed martial law on the entire stadium, including the road beside it, and only set up one entrance.
There were also hundreds of reporters waiting at the entrance of the stadium, ready to release first-hand news. As the concert was not broadcast live, there were no television station staff coming in and out. However, just the reporters and the audience who had prepared to enter the stadium in advance had already made the armed police and police officers on guard duty very busy. There were still three hours before the start of the competition, and the audience had already passed through the security gates and entered the venue.
"Ah Hao, how many people do you think will come today? Could the entire 60,000-seat stadium be filled?”In the backstage of the stadium, Lu Yifei looked at his watch and asked Sun Hao nervously.
"I'm not sure about that, but it looks like there won't be too few people. I heard from the organizing committee that most of the tickets have been bought.”Sun Hao thought for a moment and said to Lu Yifei.
"What? Was this for real? Don't tell me we have to perform in front of 60,000 people? That would be too terrifying. Just thinking about facing a sea of people gave him a headache.”Lu Yifei scratched his head and said nervously when he heard Sun Hao say that the stadium would be full.
"Don't worry about that. You won't be able to see too many people on stage. Due to the spotlight, you can only see the people in the front few rows. It's pitch black after that. You won't be able to see even if you want to. You can only hear the sound. Oh right, there's also the light from the audience's photos. When that happens, the entire stadium will be like a snowflake screen on TV, flashing nonstop. You have to be mentally prepared, hehe.”Since Sun Hao had attended several open-air performances at night, he knew the situation of such performances. Therefore, he comforted Lu Yifei, hoping that he would not be too nervous, lest he made a mistake in his hurry.
"Ah Hao, when you went to draw lots just now, which mall were we in? Why didn't they arrange the order during the rehearsal?”Liu Zhongda, who was next to him, also voiced his thoughts after hearing Sun Hao's reply to Lu Yifei.
"We're the eighth to go on stage. Because our average age is too young, the organizing committee was afraid that we wouldn't be able to hold it in too much, so they didn't give us the opening performance and gave it to the maglev band. Also, the performance before and after Ren Xianqi's performance wasn't reserved for us because the atmosphere was the best at that time.”Sun Hao didn't care about this order. Although it was a little late, it was still better. Sun Hao didn't want to go on stage at the beginning. Sun Hao believed that through the performance of the first few contestants, the audience would definitely see that Haotian Band was different.
"Damn it, they actually gave us the worst seats. I'll go to the organizing committee.”When he heard Sun Hao say that Haotian's performance order was the worst, Lu Yifei immediately stood up and rushed to the door to find the judges.
"Forget it, forget it. The organizing committee's research is right. Look at how young we are now. No one will believe that we have a high standard. No matter how many times we go up, as long as we perform well, it will be fine.”When Song Chunfeng saw that Lu Yifei was about to rush out of the room, he quickly pulled Lu Yifei back and comforted him. Actually, Song Chunfeng was also a little indignant, but when he saw that Sun Hao had no objections to this matter, he couldn't say anything more.
"Forget it. Brother Li is right. As long as we act well, it doesn't matter which one we go onstage. If you want to write it well, for example, there are tens of thousands of viewers today. There must be many beautiful women in the audience. When we act well, how many beautiful women will be infatuated with you?”Sun Hao wanted to change the topic so that Lu Yifei would not have any thoughts about the order of appearance. It was a performance anyway, so it didn't matter which one was the first. The order of appearance this time was more advantageous to Sun Hao and the others, because everyone knew that in a competition, the earlier one went on stage, the more disadvantaged they would be. Usually, the judges would be more strict with their scores. The contestants who went on stage later would have it easier because there were already some people who had compared them.
"Haha, that's right. Why didn't I think of that? In a while, the little beauties below the stage will definitely be moved by my heroic bearing. In the future, there will definitely be many beautiful women asking for my autograph and photo. When he went out, he had to bring a pair of sunglasses to avoid being seen everywhere. That would be bad and troublesome.”Under Sun Hao's guidance, Lu Yifei, who hadn't gone on stage yet, began to fantasize. Thinking of the scene of being asked for autographs by a group of girls who violated the rules, his displeasure with the organizing committee had long been reported to the back of his mind.
Everyone chatted for a while, and the time had already been fixed at six o'clock in the evening. Because the competition and the concert were the same time, starting at seven o'clock in the evening, there were still many things to do in this hour. Checking the equipment was a must. If something went wrong while he was on stage, it would be embarrassing.
Sun Hao bought a few pears from the store backstage because eating some watery fruits before singing would help with the tone.
Just as everyone was busy, the clock beside the stadium finally pointed to seven o'clock in the evening. The Coca-Cola Cup National Band Competition, which had been prepared for many days, finally officially began at this time.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Zhang Shuya had just finished school at five o'clock in the afternoon and ran home with her classmates. After putting down her bag, she didn't even eat a bite and ran out of the house. The two of them took a taxi to the 10,000-person stadium. Although it was only six o'clock, the entrance of the stadium was already packed with people. Due to the slow security check, the audience had already lined up on the opposite sidewalk. The scene was chaotic. From time to time, the police officers who were maintaining the scene held a loudspeaker to maintain order. "I heard that there will be several bands performing today. Usually, it's the singers who come. This is the first time I've seen so many bands performing.”Zhang Shuya, who was queuing up, heard such a voice coming from the side.
"Didn't they say that it's a band competition this time? What's there to see in a band competition? It's not like it's a professional singer's performance, so it definitely won't be very good. I had no choice.”A middle-aged man with a big belly said.
"Didn't you say that there's still Ren Xianqi? I love listening to his songs." A young girl next to Chang Shuya said after listening to the two people.
"Yes, little sister, you like Ren Xianqi too. I came for him this time.”Anyway, it would take a long time. Zhang Shuya was also bored, so she simply chatted with the girl next to her. In fact, if Zhang Shuya relied on her family's military relationship, she could enter the stadium without waiting in line. But before she came out, Zhang Shuya's mother had already told her not to bother others with such a small matter. Zhang Shuya's mother also wanted to exercise her daughter. She was still young and couldn't be so pampered.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Shuya and her classmates finally lined up at the door. After passing the security check, the two of them walked into the stadium.
"Wow, Little Ya, look, the stage is so beautiful.”After entering the stadium, the students next to Zhang Shuya immediately called out to Zhang Shuya.
Zhang Shuya looked up at the stage and saw a stage that was more than three meters high and more than twenty meters long. The entire stage was made up of dozens of large screens made up of LPCs. At the moment, the promotional video of the performance was being played. The entire stage was made up of silver-white steel frames. It looked so gorgeous from afar. More than 20 sets of spotlights were projected on the stage. They were not dazzling but emitted dazzling brilliance. The rolling flashes were flashing along with the background music, making people's mood rise along with the melody.
"Hehe, yes, it's really beautiful. Only Xiao Qi can perform on such a beautiful stage. I'm really looking forward to it.”Zhang Shuya said casually after seeing the gorgeous stage.
At this time, the stadium was also overcrowded. Because Zhang Shuya's seats were in the first row, it took a lot of effort for the two people to squeeze into the front row of the stage. Zhang Shuya pulled the students next to her to their seats. At this moment, the two of them saw the stage up close and found that the stage was even more beautiful.
At this moment, a voice came from the stage's speakers." Hello everyone, I'm the host of this competition, Xiao Nan. Welcome to B City's 10,000-person stadium. Today, we're going to show you a musical feast..."
Following the host's words, the audience in the stadium was in an uproar because the audience had come here for the atmosphere. If it wasn't for this, they would have just sat at home and watched TV. They wouldn't have spent money to come to the stadium to watch the concert.
At this time, Zhang Shuya took out the beautifully packaged snacks from her bag. For this performance, Zhang Shuya also went to the supermarket and purchased a lot of food. If it weren't for the classmate next to her, Zhang Shuya would probably have to carry a big box.
"Now, before the competition begins, let's give a round of applause to the judges of this competition, everyone's favorite Xiao Qi.”
After the emcee finished speaking, the venue suddenly erupted into thunderous applause and bursts of screams. It seemed that Ren Xianqi's position in the hearts of the fans was supreme.
"Xiao Qi, we love you!"
" Little Qi, Little Qi…" The audience's cheers grew louder and louder.
At this moment, the elevator on the stage slowly descended, and Ren Xianqi, who was dressed in white casual clothes, gradually appeared in everyone's eyes.
" Ah..." The crowd instantly erupted.
"Hello everyone, I am Ren Xianqi." Ren Xianqi greeted everyone with a smile.
"Little Ya, look, it's really Little Qi.”The student sitting next to Zhang Shuya called out to Zhang Shuya.
"Yes, yes, you're so handsome. Xiao Qi, I love you.”At this time, Zhang Shuya was also very excited. She had seen Ren Xianqi on TV before, and Ren Xianqi had never held a concert in City B. Zhang Shuya, who was still young, couldn't convince her parents to let her watch Little Qi in a different city. Therefore, when Ren Xianqi appeared, Zhang Shuya was very excited and kept shouting," Little Qi, I love you."
Ren Xianqi, who was on stage, saw the craziness of the fans below the stage and smiled slightly. It seemed that he was still very popular among the fans. So he waved at the audience and said,"I love you guys."
"Wow!" The fans below the stage went crazy." Xiao Qi, I love you.”Everyone shouted in unison.
"I'm very happy to meet you all here today, but I'm not the host of this banquet. The real host of this concert belongs to the ten bands that will be appearing next. As the judges of this Coca-Cola Cup National Band Competition, I hope that everyone will like the bands that will be appearing next as much as they like me, because they also need your support.”Fortunately, Ren Xianqi did not forget his mission today. He first mentioned the name of the competition and then turned the audience's attention to the band that was going to appear next.
"No way! How did it become a band? Isn't it Xiao Qi's concert?" After Zhang Shuya heard Ren Xianqi's words, she asked the classmate next to her curiously.
"I don't know either, but since Xiao Qi is already here, he must know how to sing. Let's take a look.”Zhang Shuya's classmate said.
"The remaining time will be handed over to the ten bands in this competition. I will be back in a while. I hope everyone will invite them out with a warm applause.”Ren Xianqi smiled slightly and said to the 50,000 to 60,000 audience below the stage.
The audience immediately burst into applause and intermittent shouts.
"Flower, I love you. Big Zhang Wei…Ah!" It seemed that there were still some band fans who came this time. Among them, the local bands in B City were probably the most famous.
"Little Ya, who is it suddenly?" The girl next to Zhang Shuya heard the cheers of the audience and couldn't help but ask Zhang Shuya.
"I don't know either. I'll just watch quietly.”Zhang Shuya was also confused.
