Yue Yunpeng was actually 28 years old this year and was about to reach his thirties. Compared to being on the Blue Star, he had been a soy sauce in the Cloud Society for a longer time in this life. In the blink of an eye, it had been almost ten years.
As for how he joined the De Yun Society, it was quite a legend. At the age of eighteen, he went to the city to work. He was a waiter in a restaurant. He was simple and honest. He did not look outstanding, and his voice was not very good. However, for some reason, he was valued by an old artist in the folk arts world who came to eat.
This old artist was also Guo Devat's senior. He felt that Yue Yunpeng was a good child and had a very pitiful experience. He directly stuffed Yue Yunpeng into Guo Devat. In fact, Guo Devat did not want this ordinary little fatty at first, but he could not resist the senior's request, so he reluctantly accepted him.
However, even if he joined the Cloud Obtaining Society, Yue Yunpeng's life was not much better than before. Because he was not valued by his master, his fellow disciples could bully him at will. All the work of sweeping the floor, pouring water, and washing clothes was thrown to him.
If this was someone with a slight temper, they would have long been unable to stand it. However, Yue Yunpeng was indeed honest enough. He silently endured everything and never fought with others. He worked hard and did his chores without complaint.
However, as the saying goes, the hemp rope is always broken at the thin spot, and bad luck is bound to the poor. Yue Yunpeng had already done this, but there were still people in the Cloud Society who did not like him. After all, Yue Yunpeng was not a particularly smart person. Although he had always been very diligent in learning, his progress was very slow, and his level was still a lot worse than his fellow disciples.
Therefore, many people felt that Yue Yunpeng was a good-for-nothing and was not even worthy of being the senior brother of the Yun branch. There was no need for the Yun Society to raise him. At that time, many people tried to drive away this humble little fatty.
In the end, it was the matriarch of the Yun Society, Old Guo's costume, Wang Hui, who could not stand it anymore. She publicly declared that even if Little Yueyue could not reach the standard of performing on stage in his entire life, even if he could only stay backstage and sweep the floor, she, Wang Hui, would support him for the rest of his life.
As soon as Master's wife spoke, everyone naturally did not dare to say anything else. However, they still did not like this stupid little fatty. They left all the dirty and tiring work to him. In the blink of an eye, it had been ten years. The honest little fatty from back then was already about to turn thirty.
Even Lu Bai felt that Yue Yunpeng's experience was not easy. Compared to the Blue Planet, Yue Yunpeng in this life was obviously worse off. After all, as long as Jin Ziwei and the others did not leave, Guo Devat would never know which was more important, talent or loyalty.
Without Guo's vat, Yue Yunpeng would always be an invisible person sweeping the floor backstage.
Yue Yunpeng had been humble for a long time, which made him seriously lack self-confidence. Usually, he could not even raise his head in front of his fellow disciples, let alone the famous Lu Bai in front of him. Before Lu Bai took the initiative to talk to him, he did not even dare to disturb this young man who was nearly ten years younger than him, but was worlds apart from him.
However, when Lu Bai called Yue Yunpeng 'Brother Yue' just now, it made Yue Yunpeng panic. It was the first time in many years that she felt a trace of respect. This might be worthless to others, but to Yue Yunpeng, it was priceless.
Under Yue Yunpeng's lead, Lu Bai passed through the backstage of the Cloud Obtaining Society.
Logically speaking, the Cloud Society had always had a rule that outsiders were absolutely not allowed to enter the backstage. Previously, there was a disciple of the Cloud Society who secretly brought a female fan into the backstage for the purpose of pretending to be a pen. After the matter was exposed, he was directly fired by Old Guo.
However, Old Guo and the others did not treat Lu Bai as an outsider at all. After all, Lu Bai and Little Guo had a good relationship. Moreover, he had even given Old Guo a wild little genius. According to ancient times, this relationship could already be used to worship his mother, let alone enter the backstage.
Moreover, other than friendship, what was more important was that Old Guo and the others valued Lu Bai's own strength. A dark horse who was only twenty years old. Anyone in the circle who was not stupid could see that this child would definitely become a great person in the future. It was normal to make friends with him in advance.
"Teacher Lu Bai, we've arrived at my master's office. I'll send you here…"
"Yes, thank you."
"No, no, Teacher Lu Bai. This is what I should do. Call me if you need anything later.”
In the office, Old Guo saw that Lu Bai had arrived, and his originally tense expression relaxed.
"Xiao Bai, you didn't drink too much, did you?"
"No."
"Well, that's good, that's good."
Yes, Old Guo was currently worrying about the performance on stage. Although he had already adjusted the order of appearance and asked his disciple, Shaobing, and his partner to go to the opening at seven o'clock to delay the time, he did not know when Teacher Yu would sober up.
Although it was not that Old Guo could not go on stage and say that he was a solo singer, if the original performance list was changed at will and Master Qian 'er did not say anything, who would dare to believe the words of the Yun Society in the future? Who would be willing to spend so much money to buy tickets?
Not long after, when the performance officially began, Old Guo's disciple, Shaobing, was the first to go on stage. The ignorant Master Qian 'er was also helped backstage by several disciples. Under the chaos of the crowd, he changed into a large coat and wiped his face.
However, after all this, Master Qian 'er was still in a state of confusion. After all, he and Lu Bai had just drunk white wine, which was not easy to digest. Moreover, he was old and his bodily functions were not as good as young people. Therefore, even though his eyes were open, he gave people the feeling that his soul had not returned.
She was awake, but not completely awake. That was what she meant.
As time passed, more than twenty minutes had passed. Uncle Qian 'er's lucidity was still limited. Although he slowly regained his consciousness, under the effect of a large amount of alcohol, his speech was still a little off.
This also made the disciples a little impatient.
"Master, what should we do? With Master Qian 'er's condition, how can he perform on stage?”
"Yes, Master. Why don't we tell the audience that Master Qian 'er is sick today and can't go on stage at the last minute?”
The disciples made suggestions one after another, but Old Guo remained noncommittal. He kept a straight face and did not say anything. At this moment, another disciple ran over to report.
"Master, they can't hold on much longer. The audience is also a little restless.”
On the original program list, Old Guo and Master Qian 'er should have been the first to start. Now that it was changed to shaobing, the audience was already a little confused and impatient. If the order was changed again and other disciples were stuffed onto the stage, the audience would shout for a refund.
Moreover, for today's performance, the duo had only prepared about 20 minutes of content. Now, in order to stall for more time, the original content had long been used up. They had started to talk nonsense and guess lantern riddles.
However, the audience was not that easy to fool. To put it bluntly, most of them came to watch today's performance mainly for Old Guo and Master Qian 'er. Other than Jin Zi and Xiao Wei, who were slightly popular, the other disciples were essentially free gifts.
Old Guo naturally knew that there was no time to delay, but when he turned to look at his old partner, Old Guo was so angry that his heart was filled with panic.
Just as everyone from the Cloud Society was at a loss and was panicking, Lu Bai's voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"Ms. Hunt, I'm also responsible for what happened today. I'll go up on stage to help you cover for a while.”
When Lu Bai said this, everyone was dumbfounded. Even Old Guo smiled bitterly.
Although the sudden appearance of a big star like Lu Bai on the stage of Deyun Society was indeed a pleasant surprise for the audience, the dissatisfaction they had previously felt was probably swept away.
However, Lu Bai did not know how to perform crosstalk. What could he do on stage? Staring at the audience? Of course, Lu Bai was a singer himself, and singing was his forte. However, the stage of the Cloud Obtaining Society was originally prepared for crosstalk, and he did not have a band to accompany him…
If it was just a cappella, then even if Lu Bai had a heavenly voice, it might not have any good effect. It would also easily ruin Lu Bai's own reputation.
Just as Old Guo was about to decline, Lu Bai continued.
"Ms. Hunt, I just passed by backstage and saw that you have a few instrument masters, right?”
Old Guo was stunned. He then realized that Lu Bai was talking about the traditional instrument masters who played the Sanxian and Erhu in the Deyun Club. Speaking of which, they were fully equipped with gongs, drums, suona, and so on. However, they were all prepared for traditional opera performances and were not in line with pop music at all.
" Cough cough, Xiao Bai, they can play accompaniment, but I'm afraid that they won't be able to coordinate well with the pop songs you sing. It might affect your performance instead…"
"It's okay, Ms. Hunt. I know traditional instruments too. I'll communicate with them.”
The system had previously rewarded Lu Bai with the Master Musical Instrument Skill. Not only did it include Western instruments, but it also included traditional instruments. However, traditional instruments were on the decline now, so Lu Bai had never come into contact with them.
Since Lu Bai was willing to help to this extent, Old Guo was naturally grateful. After all, Lu Bai was not to blame for today's incident. Even if the Yun Society's performance was ruined today, it had nothing to do with him.
However, it was precisely this kind of friendship that could move people's hearts the most…
Another fifteen minutes later, the audience in the theater was filled with dissatisfaction. Many people had long heard enough of the boring riddle guessing and began to shout for a refund.
"Where's Ms. Hunt? Didn't they say that Ms. Guo and Mr. Qian 'er would start the show?”
"That's right. If you don't come up now, you can refund the ticket!”
"Refund!"
Amidst the taunts of the audience, the two men, who were already sweating and thirsty, were finally called off to sing. However, under the dumbfounded gaze of the audience, for some reason, the backstage began to move traditional instruments onto the stage. Not long after, a band composed of traditional instrument masters took shape on the stage.
The audience was completely confused. They didn't know what this was about. After all, according to the rules, even Old Guo didn't have to perform at the beginning of the show.
However, at this moment, the female host of De Yun Society walked onto the stage and said with a microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, on the stage of our Deyun Society today, we will welcome a special guest. I'm sure everyone is familiar with his name and works. Next, let's give a round of applause to the talented musician, Teacher Lu Bai!”
The audience: "??????”
