Film and Television Overview: Starting from the Same Window

“Yes! Teacher, he has a very strong planning ability,” Xiao Haiyang chimed in from the side.

I wonder what he's thinking right now. Is he really so focused on studying for his CET-4 final exams that he didn't notice Lu Qiaochuan's smugness?

"Yeah, the genius strategist is in our class! What's there to be afraid of?" a classmate chimed in.

Zhou Shengchen, however, sensed a sarcastic tone in his voice.

Ye Jiping looked at the somewhat arrogant Lu Qiaochuan and said earnestly, "Confidence is good, but complacency is not."

“Teacher Ye is right. Pride makes one regress, while humility makes one progress. So we should…” Lu Qiaochuan bowed his head in agreement, but neither his expression nor his tone showed any sincerity; he remained arrogant and proud.

That expression and that tone are so irritating!

"Be a good person."

Under Lu Qiaochuan's guidance, many students collectively uttered Teacher Ye's catchphrase.

Ye Jiping shook his head helplessly, not minding Lu Qiaochuan's rudeness, and said instead, "Since everyone has said so, then let Qiaochuan and Luo Xue take care of this matter."

Then he pointed at Yu Hao and said, "Yu Hao, as the literature and art committee member, you should also participate."

"Is this part of my business?" Yu Hao muttered under his breath, looking incredulous. "I always thought the literature and art committee member just nitpicked everyone's clothes and didn't have to do anything else."

"Your main responsibility is supervision," Ye Jiping said to Yu Hao, glancing almost imperceptibly at Lu Qiaochuan.

"What's there to supervise?" Yu Hao was still grumbling, clearly not expecting Ye Jiping to have him keep an eye on Lu Qiaochuan.

“If you’re in charge of supervising, then you just need to supervise properly,” Lu Qiaochuan said in his usual annoying tone.

Lu Qiaochuan's attitude didn't anger Yu Hao; instead, Yu Hao looked at him and Lin Luoxue with a mocking expression: "That's for the best!"

Lu Qiaochuan kept glancing at Lin Luoxue, as if he had something to say.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Shengchen's heart stirred, sensing that a good show was about to begin.

Soon, Ye Jiping announced the end of school, and everyone hurriedly packed up their things to leave.

Seeing that Lu Qiaochuan and Lin Luoxue remained completely still, Zhou Shengchen became even more certain that something good was about to happen.

After most of the people had left, Zhou Shengchen leisurely slung his bag over his shoulder and went to the corridor outside, turning sideways to see what Lu Qiaochuan was going to do next.

Seeing that there weren't many people around, Lu Qiaochuan, with his backpack on, turned around and sat down at the table in front of Lin Luoxue.

Lin Luoxue wore her classic fake smile: "Judging from your confident expression, do you have some good ideas?"

Lu Qiaochuan smiled confidently and looked at Lin Luoxue, saying, "I've been working on plans for various departments, so this is a piece of cake for me."

As he spoke, he actually made a palm-flipping motion to emphasize his words.

It was as if this matter was really just a trivial little thing to him.

"Give me two hours, and I can plan it out."

As he spoke, Lu Qiaochuan confidently raised an eyebrow and invited Lin Luoxue, "Let's have dinner together tonight and discuss it!"

"Okay!" Lin Luoxue smiled sweetly.

"See you tonight." After saying that, Lu Qiaochuan turned and left.

But the moment he turned around, the smile on Lin Luoxue's face vanished completely.

"There's going to be a good show tonight!"

Outside the door, noticing Lu Qiaochuan getting closer and closer, Zhou Shengchen chuckled and quickly disappeared.

.........

In the afternoon, at Ximen Tea Restaurant.

Zhou Shengchen knew they usually ate here, so he went early and found a good, secluded spot.

·· ········Requesting flowers···· ··

"You're eating here too?"

Lin Luoxue and Lu Qiaochuan hadn't arrived yet, but Zhou Shengchen was greeted by Ren Yifan.

"Come in and sit down!" Zhou Shengchen glanced at the seats near the door and gestured.

Ren Yifan looked at Zhou Shengchen suspiciously, but still obediently sat down in the seat opposite Zhou Shengchen, against the wall.

"What are you trying to do, acting so suspiciously?" Ren Yifan looked around and asked in a low voice.

"There's going to be a good show!" Zhou Shengchen replied, then picked up the menu, ordered four dishes and a soup, and told the waiter to bring the food quickly.

"President Zhou? Are there any food for your members?" Ren Yifan asked in a flattering manner.

Although he has a lot of pocket money every month, he doesn't dare to spend it as much as Zhou Shengchen.

.... ..... ....

Eating like this once in a while is fine, but if he eats like this every few days, he won't have money to pick up girls. So Ren Yifan usually tries to save money on food whenever possible.

"Of course!" Zhou Shengchen said, then added, "Lu Qiaochuan and Lin Luoxue are coming soon, so don't say anything yet!"

"Is something good going to happen?"

Ren Yifan immediately revealed a gossipy look.

Zhou Shengchen: "I think there should be!"

Soon, the dishes and soup that Zhou Shengchen ordered arrived. Zhou Shengchen and Ren Yifan ate while keeping an eye on the movements at the door.

Soon, Lin Luoxue walked in, and Zhou Shengchen quickly gave Ren Yifan a look, signaling him to be quiet and get ready to watch the show.

Ren Yifan obediently shut his mouth, because he also had a gossipy heart.

After entering, Lin Luoxue glanced around and sat directly on the table behind Ren Yifan.

Because there was a wooden screen between the two tables, she couldn't see who was sitting at Zhou Shengchen's table unless she looked carefully.

Before long, Lu Qiaochuan arrived carrying a bag and holding documents.

Lu Qiaochuan sat opposite Lin Luoxue and said confidently, "Let me tell you, what I'm going to do is a plan that is absolutely unique in the history of our school. I'm going to put on a music show with all twenty-four students on stage!"

Lu Qiaochuan's gaze was firm, his tone resolute, and his confidence unwavering.

"A music show?"

Lin Luoxue raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with doubt: "This isn't anything new! Many classes have done this before."

At this moment, she became a little curious. Lu Qiaochuan was making such a big fuss; was it really just about this one music show? (Qian)

Chapter 211: Wishful Thinking

"Listen to me!"

Lu Qiaochuan understood Lin Luoxue's meaning and immediately said confidently, "What I want to do is a symphony, using real instruments. That means that in the next week, we will learn a three-minute piece. Everyone will learn a part, and several people will learn a different instrument. When combined, it will be magnificent. It will definitely be better than any chorus, skit, or comedy sketch."

Lu Qiaochuan seemed to be talking about a trivial matter.

He was just being too unrealistic.

Learning musical instruments is not so easy.

Lu Qiaochuan's plan is only theoretically possible; it requires everyone to follow instructions and everyone to study diligently—these are merely prerequisites.

Moreover, several instruments require several teachers, because you can't learn those things by just watching some videos.

It's important to know that music teacher lessons are generally very expensive, and this isn't even one-on-one instruction; it's one teacher teaching several students, which makes it even more expensive.

Not only that, but when the music teacher comes to the school to teach, the travel expenses must be reimbursed. When students go to a place to rent instruments to learn, the travel expenses and meal costs for the students must be calculated.

Renting musical instruments is expensive, and they need to be specially stored. If they get bumped or scratched, it can be very troublesome and require a lot of money to pay. So you need to find someone to take care of them.

The main issues are money and discipline.

First, everyone has to chip in. This isn't like organizing a choir or poetry recitation, where you might only need to rent costumes or make props. This kind of thing costs at least several hundred or even thousands of yuan.

Secondly, you must learn it well and remember it.

But another problem arises: the CET-4 exam is just around the corner, and everyone has to spend time reviewing!

Aside from these other times, how much time do people actually have left to learn a musical instrument?

And then there's the symphony orchestra with twenty-four musicians, where not a single mistake can be made.

Everyone learned it on short notice. If one person makes a mistake or the rhythm goes off, everyone might panic. The risk is too great.

"Sounds good! I just wonder if it will be difficult to implement?"

Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. Therefore, Lin Luoxue, sensing something was amiss, decided to subtly hint to Lu Qiaochuan that what he was saying was difficult to achieve.

But will Lu Qiaochuan listen now?

Answer: No!

"Let's not talk about that now!" Lu Qiaochuan suddenly changed the subject and said to Lin Luoxue with great confidence, "Luoxue, be with me! Let's start over."

These words made Ren Yifan spit out the food in his mouth.

Zhou Shengchen's lips twitched slightly; he was utterly speechless at Lu Qiaochuan's current state.

Lu Qiaochuan used to be someone who wouldn't say such things. He was a very pessimistic and weak person, but in less than a month, he's become so popular that he's lost all sense of direction.

This is something that any normal person would encounter.

A chance encounter led to recognition from so many people, making me feel like I could finally hold my head high and transforming me from someone with low self-esteem to someone with extreme arrogance.

That's why Lu Qiaochuan was so smug; he thought that the good-for-nothing Mr. Lu was finally going to be a thing of the past.

He believed himself to be omnipotent, a true mastermind!

Unfortunately, he is not.

Many things are not as they seem.

Lin Luoxue also disliked the arrogant Lu Qiaochuan.

Looking at Lu Qiaochuan, Lin Luoxue's eyes reddened slightly, and with a complicated expression, she suddenly sighed deeply: "Lu Qiaochuan, I feel that you have really changed a lot in the past month."

“Yes!” Lu Qiaochuan did not deny it. “I also feel that I have grown a lot in the past month. I have also planned a lot of activities for other clubs. In the process, I have constantly realized that I was too sluggish and too weak before, which is why I missed and lost you.”

"But not anymore. I think I'm good enough, no worse than Bi Shisan. I think it's time for me to be with you."

Although he spoke very "sincerely," Lin Luoxue still refused.
