Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

After finishing the song, Pu Bajia returned backstage.

Zhou Fang glanced at Shen Can twice, then hurriedly ran towards the theater lobby.

After their performance, it wouldn't be long before Shen Can took the stage.

Pu Bajia smiled slightly at Shen Can.

He seemed very satisfied with his performance and was quite confident.

His smile reminded Shen Can of a certain internet celebrity surnamed Ding from Litang.

"You sang well, but you were unlucky. Have you ever learned the idiom 'up seven or eight'? You're the eighth act..." Shen Can said.

Pu Bajia's smile suddenly froze, and he stared at Shen Can in astonishment, feeling completely unable to understand Shen Can's thought process.

Is he doomed to lose just because of the "seven up, eight down" principle?

What the hell?

"We'll talk after you finish singing!" Pubaja said coldly.

Shen Can ignored him.

Boring.

In this era, people are still normal and cannot understand the madness of those who enjoy themselves.

This made him, a person who enjoys himself, feel like he lacked kindred spirits, and he always had to pretend to be a normal person, which was very tiring.

Five minutes later, on stage, the host began announcing the program, and it was finally Shen Can's turn to go on stage.

Students majoring in musical theatre cheered for Shen Can.

"Ten is a perfect number, it's all good." After saying that, Shen Can carried his guitar and walked towards the stage.

Pubaja's face immediately turned dark.

……

As soon as Shen Can's name and the title of the song he was to sing that night were announced at the front desk, a buzz of discussion quickly arose.

The theater lobby became lively, like a bustling market.

After all, the song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" that Shen Can sang during military training was widely circulated on campus, and it was said to be an excellent song, but since there was no video, most people on campus had never heard of it.

In other words, the extent of Shen Can's talent, despite his renowned reputation at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, remains a mystery to this day.

Although the head of the performing arts department and the teachers personally came to persuade him to switch majors, seeing is believing.

Many people even come with the intention of exposing counterfeits.

Where do those naive freshmen come from, spouting such incredible nonsense?

Don't forget, Shen Can comes from a remote town in the mountains. He has limited professional education, no famous teachers to guide him, and no entertainment company to cultivate him. He is a complete grassroots.

Compared to him, Wang Baoqiang was from a prestigious family, after all, Wang Baoqiang had indeed studied martial arts at the Shaolin Temple.

Most of the students present came from well-off families.

After all, studying art costs a lot of money. Art education requires long-term investment, such as professional training, equipment purchase, and pre-exam intensive training, which is difficult for Shen Can's family to support.

Does a student majoring in dramatic literature really have great musical talent?

And it's an original song? Who would believe that?

Perhaps tonight's welcome party will reveal his true abilities and give us a glimpse into his true potential.

Some people came purely for Shen Can's good looks.

Shen Can was unaware of what others were thinking.

His idea was: "After singing, I'll call it a day, go get something good to eat, and then go back to writing."

His song will be officially released tomorrow, and he needs to prepare more drafts before then.

Once he becomes famous, he may need to go out for commercial performances or appear on TV shows, leaving him with less time to write.

Inside the lobby.

Zhao Ji stared intently at Shen Can's figure on the stage, a strange tension rising within him.

"He...wow!!! Keep it up!!!"

She felt strange.

She was amazed by Shen Can's good looks, but also worried that her upcoming performance of "Rice Fragrance" would not meet her expectations.

Sitting next to her, Li Jinming exclaimed, "Shen Can is really handsome! Absolutely stunning! He's even better looking in person than in photos!"

"Jinming, stop being so reckless, tone it down, be more reserved, people are looking over here," Hailu quickly reminded her, her tone gentle even as she did so.

Zhou Fang took a deep breath. She noticed that Shen Can's entire demeanor changed after he came on stage with his guitar.

Backstage, he acted as if he didn't care about anything, like a lazy bum who was only there tonight to complete a task assigned by his superiors.

But when he sits on a high stool, holding a guitar, facing the audience, he loses his roguish air and is replaced by focus, confidence, and composure.

Wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and canvas shoes, Shen Can's attire was ordinary, yet he was like a vortex, attracting everyone's attention.

This kind of temperament alone gives people more confidence in him.

"Another original song, what kind of song will it be?"

Zhou Fang pursed her red lips, squeezed her thighs together, and looked on with anticipation.

Logically, as Pu Bajia's teammate, she should be on his side. However, at this moment, all she wanted was to hear beautiful music from Shen Can's fingertips and lips.

The night of the military training party, Shen Can brought her such a wonderful experience that she wanted to relive it.

On stage, Shen Can brought his lips close to the microphone and said softly:

"Hello everyone, I'm Shen Can. The song I'll be singing tonight, 'Rice Fragrance,' will be officially released tomorrow, along with 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky,' which I sang before. I hope you all will support me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the theater erupted in cheers once again.

"Does Shen Can mean he's going to debut?" Li Jinming asked, puzzled and surprised.

This year, she participated in the show "Absolute Singing" and achieved a commendable seventh place nationwide. She knows firsthand how difficult it is to make it big in the music industry.

"Absolute Singing" was produced by Jiangsu Province and had high viewership ratings. However, after the show ended, online discussions about the program quickly ceased, and to date, the production team has failed to cultivate a star with widespread influence.

There are always a lot of people who desperately want to enter the entertainment industry, but how many of them succeed?

Isn't she the same way, including herself?

Her best friend Zhao Ji has already starred in Wei Zheng's movie "Reversal Meteor", which will be released next year, but her own first film and television work is still nowhere in sight.

Before Li Jinming could think further, the chirping of crickets suddenly rang out in the theater.

It was as if, in an instant, it transported one to a summer evening or night.

After the chirping of insects came the laughter of children, and then Shen Can's fingers moved as he plucked the guitar strings, adding the sound of the instrument.

The intro to "Rice Fragrance" is very pleasant to the ear.

It's neither noisy nor eerie; its soothing and light melody makes it very pleasant to listen to.

It allows you to relax your mind and not think about anything.

At the same time, it has a kind of magic that can give people a very strong visual experience.

The chirping of crickets, the laughter of children... in an instant, a scene of rural fields is created.

The theater lobby quickly fell silent.

For the teachers and students listening to the music at this moment, some of them may not understand music, but they have basic aesthetic sense and can distinguish whether the music is pleasant or unpleasant.

The prelude to "Rice Fragrance" is definitely worthy of the word "pleasant to listen to"!

"He's shining again. No wonder he's the man I, Su Shengsheng, have my eye on." Su Shengsheng, who had skipped class specifically to watch the welcome party, thought to herself from a corner near the entrance of the theater.

Her heart was pounding wildly, and in her breath, she didn't notice the unimaginable burden that the few buttons on her chest were bearing.
