The Yenching Film Institute's auditorium was bustling with people.
There was still an hour before the gala started, but the students had already arrived.
Especially the freshmen who had just entered the school. Each and every one of them was extremely excited. After eating, they came over in groups of three to five.
Backstage, all the actors and actresses were already in place, making the final preparations.
The school attached great importance to every year's gala, mainly to strengthen the freshmen's sense of belonging to the school. At the same time, they would also invite some successful graduates to watch the gala to show the school's strength.
As for the famous freshmen, they were no exception. Even if they were filming outside, they had to ask for leave to attend the gala.
This was an order from the school.
At 7: 30 PM, the school's leaders and teachers walked in, accompanied by warm applause.
Many celebrities followed behind them.
"Look, that's Gu Yuanlong. I heard that our school specially invited him to come and support the school!"
"Wow, it's Huang Yili. I really like the little princess she acted as!"
"Wow, I didn't expect Yang Jing to come too. This year's gala is so big!"
"Damn, it can't be. Who is that?"
"Oh my god, am I dreaming? Isn't that our school's pride, Yu Yuexian?"
"Yes, that's her. I applied for this school because I like the Moon Goddess. "
The students were very excited to see their idols come.
But because of the school's repeated orders, even the hardcore fans didn't do anything out of line!
In a corner backstage, Xiao Yunhai said to the nervous Huang Bo, "Neck, what's wrong with you? It's not like you've never acted in a play before. Why are you so nervous today? "
"Third brother, if you want me to act, I'll definitely be confident. But I really don't have much confidence in this skit that specializes in making people laugh. "
"We've already rehearsed it more than ten times, and you're still not confident? Look at Senior Zhang Ya. She has so many more lines than you, but she's not nervous. You're a big man and you're so scared. Don't you feel embarrassed? "
Zhang Ya was a girl in her twenties. She was one grade higher than Xiao Yunhai and was in the same class as Xia Xiaohu. Her appearance could only be considered below average in the Film Academy, which was filled with beauties. However, her acting skills were very good and she had a great sense of humor.
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Zhang Ya smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I'm also very nervous. I'm very worried that I'll ruin the skit that Junior Brother Xiao painstakingly wrote."
This time, Xiao Yunhai invited her over to act in a skit called "Help or Not".
This skit was created by Xiao Yunhai's favorite comedy team in his previous life, Happy Fried Dough Twist. Once it was released at the 2014 Spring Festival Gala, it shone brilliantly and was loved by the audience.
At that time, the topic of whether to help or not became a hot topic.
Xiao Yunhai thought of Director Hong's father and came up with the idea to write this skit.
"Don't worry. We've acted it out so many times. There won't be any problems."
At this time, Zhao Wanqing also walked in. She nodded at Zhang Ya and Huang Bo, then pulled Xiao Yunhai to the side and said, "Did you know? Today's welcoming party was arranged by the school's Arts Department. The Arts Department's Head, Xia Xiaohu, and Hu Haitao are acquaintances. Today, they specially arranged your performance to be after theirs. Xia Xiaohu also knows a new song. I heard that it was specially written for him. It's just to slap your face! "
Xiao Yunhai patted his chest and pretended to be heroic. "Don't worry, it's just a few clowns. If I can't even get past them, then I'll just go home and be a farmer in the future. "
"That's good." Zhao Wanqing said, "Actually, I'm just worrying for nothing. With your standards, as long as you perform normally, there won't be any problems. "
She had seen the skit yesterday and couldn't help but laugh on the spot.
Xiao Yunhai revealed a strange smile and said, "Miss Zhao is so concerned about me. Is it because you like me? Men and women should get married when they are of age. What's there to be embarrassed about? "
"Bah, nonsense." Zhao Wanqing's face turned red. She fiercely rolled her eyes at Xiao Yunhai and said angrily, "I'm not going to talk to you, you scoundrel. I'm going to prepare to host." After that, she turned and left.
Xiao Yunhai stared blankly at Zhao Wanqing's beautiful figure. Thinking of her shy expression just now, he said in his heart, "This great beauty Zhao can't really like me, right?"
"Third Brother, wake up. The great beauty Zhao has already left. Why are you still in a daze?"
Huang Bo came in front of Xiao Yunhai. He deliberately waved his hand in front of him and said with a playful smile.
"Who's in a daze? I'm thinking about something else." Xiao Yunhai came back to his senses and said, "Alright, the gala is about to start. Let's hurry up and put on makeup and change."
After that, Xiao Yunhai walked to the changing room.
Zhang Ya nudged Huang Bo and asked, "They can't really be dating, right?"
Huang Bo thought for a moment and replied, "I think it's probably true. The great beauty Zhao seems to be a little interested in my third brother."
Soon, the 1998 Yenching Film Institute's Freshman Welcoming Gala officially began!
Xia Xiaohu and Zhao Wanqing went on stage one after the other, causing a warm applause from the audience.
This Xia Xiaohu really had some skills. When he hosted the show, he was steady and had a sense of balance.
Although there was still a clear gap between him and Zhao Wanqing, it was already very good.
Just like in previous years, the leaders went on stage to speak and the guests gave their speeches. It was all some old-fashioned stuff. There was nothing new!
Fifteen minutes later, the show officially began!
The first show was a chorus organized by the four grades of the institute. It immediately stirred up the atmosphere. There was endless applause and screams. It was a good start for the next show.
After a few singing and dancing performances, Xia Xiaohu took the microphone and said, "For the next show, Xu Qianqian, Hu Haitao, and I will present a stage play that we wrote and directed. It's called 'Spring of Love.' I hope everyone will like it."
As the music started, Xia Xiaohu and the others began their performance.
Their performance was really good, especially the couple played by Xia Xiaohu and Xu Qianqian. Under the pressure of the villain played by Hu Haitao, their emotions were very full. The details were handled very well and received a round of applause from the students below the stage.
Xiao Yunhai looked at Xu Qianqian's performance on stage. His expression was very calm and there was no discomfort on his face. It was as if he was looking at someone who had nothing to do with him.
This made Zhao Wanting, who was secretly observing him backstage, very surprised.
The feelings that Xiao Yunhai showed when he saw Xu Qianqian that day were definitely not fake. The kind of pain that came from the heart in his eyes could not be acted out at all. What's more, there was that tear-jerking song.
But now, Xiao Yunhai seemed to have let it go. He had a feeling of becoming a Buddha on the spot.
Zhao Wanting was a little happy for no reason.
After the stage play, Xia Xiaohu once again performed his job as a host and said, "How was our performance?"
"Good."
The students below the stage were very cooperative.
"The next show is a new song of mine. It's called 'Wonderful Life.' It's written by the famous musician Han Anran and composed by Mu Ling. Today, I dedicate this song to everyone. I hope everyone can like it. This is the first time I've sung it. "
"Good! Great! "There were thousands of cheers below the stage. They were looking forward to the next song.
In the cheers of everyone, Xia Xiaohu played the guitar and sang. The performance of "Wonderful Life" was very good. Some people below the stage couldn't help shouting.
However, in the ears of professionals like Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing, Xia Xiaohu's singing was just so-so. In the singing circle, it couldn't even be regarded as third-rate.
After the song was finished, the scene was shrouded in a storm of applause.
His singing was particularly successful.
