This was the first time Lu Chen had been called a "teacher".
Of course, it wasn't a real teacher that taught and educated people. Instead, it was an elegant title given to those who had made their debut earlier or those who already had a reputation in the entertainment industry. It was suitable for both men and women.
The Blue Lotus Music Festival had been held many times and was very influential in Houhai's small circle. Those who were able to perform on stage weren't ordinary people. In comparison, Lu Chen's qualifications were the lowest.
So when he heard the title "teacher", he was a little embarrassed.
Sister Na stood up and said, "Great Qin, I'll be going first."
She was still worried for Lu Chen. After all, he had to face thousands of people tonight. Going early was to support Lu Chen and at least let Lu Chen know that he wasn't alone.
Qin Hanyang hesitated for a moment and also stood up. "If you want to go, then let's go together. We're all family!"
Lu Chen understood their intentions and gratefully said, "Thank you Brother Qin, thank you Sister Na."
"No need to be so polite …"
Qin Hanyang reached out and patted his shoulder. "You have real talent, so you should be more confident!"
Lu Chen silently nodded. What Qin Hanyang said was right. He should be more confident!
With three rich life memories and a world of spiritual wealth, he was no longer the original him.
Lu Chen didn't fear any challenges.
He couldn't help but look at the FIT band not far away. Coincidentally, the lead singer of the band, Cheng Xiaodong, turned his head and their gazes collided in the air.
It was as if an invisible flame was shining!
Cheng Xiaodong's lips curved into a mocking smile as he disdainfully left with his companion.
Lu Chen didn't get angry. He picked up his guitar case and went backstage.
He would use his singing to fight back!
The backstage was on the left side of the stage. It was used by the band and singers. Because the space wasn't big, only when it was almost time would the staff come to take attendance.
When Lu Chen, Sister Na, and The Bionics arrived backstage, there were already a lot of people there.
This also included the FIT band. Cheng Xiaodong saw Qin Hanyang and the others walk in but didn't pay attention to them. Instead, he just chatted and laughed with his friends.
"Great Qin, Sister Na …"
A man in a jacket in his thirties stood up and smiled. "You guys came so early?"
His figure was slender, his cheeks were reserved, his cheekbones were high, and his eyes were bright and full of expression. His messy long hair draped over his shoulders, making him look a bit like a down-and-out artist. He was a common sight in Songzhuang Village in Tongzhou.
Qin Hanyang shook his hand and gave him a big hug. Then he introduced him to Lu Chen. "This is Big Brother Gan Lang, and this is our little brother, Lu Chen."
Lu Chen was neither humble nor arrogant as he extended his hand. "Big Brother Gan Lang."
Gan Lang shook his hand and smiled. "I saw you at Forget Worries Bar. Your two original ballads were good."
The fact that the lead singer of the North Needle Band had seen Lu Chen perform at Forget Worries Bar surprised Lu Chen.
"Thank you, please give me some pointers, Big Brother Gan!"
"I don't dare to give pointers, but I don't have the ability to create original songs …"
Gan Lang asked seriously, "Xiao Lu, are you going to sing those two songs tonight?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "No."
"That's right!"
Gan Lang said, "The style of your two ballads isn't suitable for a live performance. Something else would be better."
Lu Chen smiled and didn't say anything.
His mind was very sharp and he could hear the meaning behind the other's words.
The lead singer of the North Needle Band might have a straightforward personality, but under his generous appearance, there was a deep arrogance. He bluntly reminded Lu Chen that he wasn't really thinking about Lu Chen, but that he didn't want to win too easily.
Or maybe it was too easy?
Gan Lang continued to chat with Sister Na while Cheng Xiaodong looked at Lu Chen with a gloating expression.
Lu Chen calmly found a seat in the corner of the backstage, took out his guitar and began to tune it.
Warm applause and cheers could be heard from outside as the band's performance was coming to an end.
The staff came in and told the band to get ready to go on stage.
Cheng Xiaodong immediately jumped up and jumped twice on the spot. The shiny accessories on his body clattered noisily.
"Brothers, let's go!"
Before leaving, he glanced at Lu Chen again, his eyes full of provocation.
The appearance of the FIT band caused quite a stir in the audience.
Dozens of boys and girls were holding up fluorescent signs with the words "Fei Du" and "Cheng Xiaodong" written on them. They were shouting each other's names in unison. They were so excited that they looked like they were about to cry.
Cheng Xiaodong held his electric guitar in his right hand as he raised his left hand and waved at the fans, "Good evening everyone, I'm very happy to be able to participate in the Light Blue Night. I am Cheng Xiaodong from the FIT band!"
"Cheng Cheng! Cheng Cheng! Cheng Cheng! "
Many female fans screamed as they desperately waved the fluorescent sticks in their hands.
"This FIT band seems to be very popular?"
In the VIP seats on the top floor of the Blue Lotus Bar, Dong Yu whispered to Su Qingmei who was sitting next to her, "Have you ever thought of poaching them?"
Light Rain Media had only been established for a short period of time. The job of recruiting artists had always been done by Su Qingmei.
Su Qingmei bitterly said, "The FIT band has already been poached by other companies. The other party's offer was much better than ours, so I gave up because the price was too high."
Dong Yu nodded in understanding.
She had set a stable development path for Light Rain Media. She didn't seek to reach the sky in one step, but rather to slowly consolidate the foundation. She wanted to accumulate enough experience and strength before she planned to break out.
Therefore, in the beginning, they wouldn't spend too much money to sign new people.
There were a lot of people sitting around Su Qingmei and Dong Yu. Chang Wei and ChenJianhao were both there. There were also famous people in the entertainment circle such as entertainment company executives, music website editors, songwriters, and professional music critics. The lineup was quite strong.
Chang Wei turned to ChenJianhao and smiled, "Old Chen, after the FIT band's performance, it will be your Xiao Lu's turn."
ChenJianhao smiled bitterly, "Boss Chang, who arranged the order of appearance this time?"
ChenJianhao had many years of experience. How could he not see the trick in the order of appearance? Previously, he didn't say anything. Now that Chang Wei mentioned it, he took the opportunity to ask.
He believed that Chang Wei wouldn't do such a thing.
Chang Wei laughed and said, "This matter, you have to ask your own family. I can't do anything about it."
Although he had already guessed it, now that he had confirmed it, ChenJianhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Su Qingmei was his cousin. Wasn't she his family?
Chang Wei understood his feelings and comforted him, "In fact, it's a small matter. It's good for young people to hone themselves."
ChenJianhao was speechless.
At this moment, on the stage, the FIT band had just finished performing a famous rap song.
Cheng Xiaodong sang and danced very hard. He easily stirred up the emotions of the audience. Waves of cheers came one after another, showing his talent and strength.
The band's lead singer shook his hair and raised the electric guitar in his hand. He loudly said, "The next song is dedicated to the audience. It's called Transcendence. Let us surpass ourselves!"
As soon as his voice fell, the cheers from the audience suddenly increased by dozens of decibels!
"Cheng Cheng!"
Several female fans excitedly squeezed out of the crowd and wanted to rush to the stage. However, they were stopped by the security guards.
Cheng Xiaodong put down the electric guitar and bowed his head. He arched his body and suddenly plucked the steel string.
An intense prelude sounded!
Transcendence!
Qin Hanyang and Sister Na, who were sitting backstage, looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Transcendence" was a classic rock song. It was very popular in the 1990s, but it was very difficult to sing it, especially the high notes. Many people sang it until they were out of breath, to the point where they could not sing it without dropping it.
Cheng Xiaodong actually dared to challenge 'Transcendence' on stage. There was no doubt that he was very confident.
The two couldn't help but worry for Lu Chen.
His opponent was very strong!
