Arc 1: The President"s Unfaithful Lover Chapter Seven
Su Yang"s was satisfied with his campus life, though because of Fu Zhou, who brings in bad luck, people started taking notice of him, it"s not like they know any of those inside stories. They only heard that his boyfriend is president Fu Zhou when he was shooting for the movie, the crew became very friendly.
He likes this kind of dull life, although the course is a bit difficult, nevertheless he can still keep up with this progress. He also joined a pop music club. When not in cla.s.s, he goes to the club to play drums and guitar. His days are quite nourishing.
Although this schedule means he spent less time with Fu Zhou.
He is satisfied… but the system is not, Fu Zhou even more so.
Of course, Fu Zhou is not satisfied. He has a busy daytime work. He only has time to ‘cultivate feelings" with Su Yang at night. But as if he gained a one of a kind illness, this kid suddenly started learning and partic.i.p.ating in community services. Often staying outside with this people past dinner time.
It"s impossible for him to talk to this kid in the middle of the night, without sounding a bit different.
But not attacking doesn"t mean he intends to keep enduring, he"s just waiting for an opportunity.
The club that Su Yang joined was very special. Although he has never seen this mysterious president, the vice president became the backbone of the club, he arranges the club activities in an orderly manner, and regularly held underground performances, which were very popular in the school.
Many of the instruments here are not in R galaxy. Su Yang took an interest in learning how to play them very quickly. Often a musical instrument is thrown at him for two days, then changing to another one after making him a target of ridicule by the clubs predecessors, thinking how he didn"t learn anything.
Su Yang did not explain himself, just continues to do what he is doing.
Today was another performance. Su Yang is only a spectator as a new member. After everything is over, he will help clean up the equipment and the venue but this time, an accident occurred.
The ba.s.s player encountered a car accident on the way, his left hand was broken, it"ll be difficult for him to play.
The ba.s.s player plays for the ba.s.s and rhythm section, he is the base part of the group, many people will ignore the role of the ba.s.s player, and even ignores the need for one when in fact, the ba.s.s player controls the entire band"s movement, the rhythm of the music is very important, otherwise why does people say the ba.s.s is a band"s soul.
A good ba.s.s player is extremely rare. Most people here only have a bit of superficial knowledge but those will not be of use at all. the entire rehearsal room falls silent.
Vice president Qin Yuan said: “Don"t panic, the president just came back to school to do something today, I"ll ask him for help.” Then he hurriedly went out to call.
Su Yang curiously said: “Originally, our group also has a president ah, but how come I have not seen him”
The people who saw him being so heartlessly calm, become anxious to kick him out.
A person who wasn"t angry answered: “Our president is named Wen Xuning.”
Wen Xuning… Sounds familiar.
After a few seconds of pause, he widened his eyes and asked: “Do you mean Wen Xuning, the male actor in ‘The Undead 4"? Wen Xuning, who took two gold medal after only two years of debut?!”
‘The Undead" is a series of movies released these last few days. Each one is a cla.s.sic. Su Yang bought a hardcopy genuine DVD. He watched it every night, especially the fourth one because the protagonist was very handsome~ two strong long legs, eight symmetrical abdominal muscles, Su Yang was attracted by this beautiful view.
The other person who did not know the dirty thoughts going around in his head. Proudly declared: “It"s him. This club was made by him and the vice president"s joint venture, later he was scouted and entered the s...o...b..z, but he likes playing music, we haven"t seen him these past two years he wasn"t able to visit.”
“(*@ο@*) Wah~” Su Yang took a table and said with great enthusiasm: “In order to help Yu Zicang (the Undead 4"s protagonist) I will help you this once!”
“Hey, what are you joking about…”
Su Yang picked up the ba.s.s, tuned the tone, then casually fingered it, low tones poured out from his fingertips.
The rehearsal room sank deeper into silence.
Qin Yuan, after the call excitedly pushed the door open:
“We"re safe, the president said he"ll come after he"s done with his work but we have to postpone the performance for half an hour…” Then he jerked and looked at the excitedly playing Su Yang and asked: “You actually learned it?”
As we all know, playing guitars, even beginners, through practice, can easily pop up a few good songs but Ba.s.s has a higher emphasis on skill and music theory, which is very demanding on each level and because the melody is low, it"s not all that popular to outsiders, so there are very few worthy ba.s.s players.
Su Yang nodded: “I read a few books days ago and practiced several times with the ba.s.s in the club. I haven"t fully mastered it yet.”
Qin Yuan: “…” You king of the demons!
The lead singer can"t help saying: “Leader, I think his technique is better than He Qi.”
He Qi is the original ba.s.s player.
Someone muttered: “He has always been reluctant to be the ba.s.s player and wants to be the lead singer. He said that he had a car accident. Who knows if that"s true or not, just think about it…”
“Enough!” Qin Yuan interrupted the man: “The most important thing for the team is trust. Don"t doubt anyone without any evidence.”
The man twitched but dared not oppose.
Qin Yuan looked at Su Yang and said: “Since you can replace He Qi, then there"s no need to trouble the president, but you don"t have stage experience… just remember not to be affected by stage fright.”
Su Yang"s heart was not troubled, even wants to laugh a little.
——No experience on stage? When this young master was doing his concert in the face of the entire galaxy, you still don"t know where it is!
“Oh? Someone came to help you?… It doesn"t matter, you have worked hard, I"ll invite you to dinner next time.”
Playfully hooking up his lips, Wen Xiuning squinted his eyes to look at the time, it"s still a while before the evening celebration. Why not go see Qin Yuan"s demon-like genius?
This band that was formed because of his impulsiveness, has in some sense, was once a dream. He did not want to see this dream of his, becoming a stepping stone for other people.
Wen Xuning is now very popular among young people. Going into places where there"s a crowd becomes risky, although he is armed from top to bottom, it still makes him anxious of being discovered which may result to an inevitable hara.s.sment and confusion, if he is recognized.
When he arrived at the scene, he discovered that he was simply overthinking things.
The venue is small, it can accommodate only about one or two hundred people but the atmosphere is intense. The enthusiastic students shouting “Encore”, they keep hoa.r.s.ely screaming. Even the concert scene of the hottest singers was so much that no one noticed that there was a big star next to them.
This scene was what Wen Xiuning once envisioned, him on the stage singing, the fans raising their hands and follow with the rhythm of the song, everyone fully engaged with his music. Even if the next moment comes the end, it won"t stop it, as they listened to till the last syllable.
But even though the establishment of the band was easy, every time they get on stage and sing to the best of their abilities, only a few dozens of people gave their support, as this goes on, even he became discouraged.
A few years past, he had slowly forgotten his initial dream, he used his outstanding appearance and talent to join the s...o...b..z, his dream of becoming a pop star was put on hold. He took film one after the other and began to make his name throughout the country or even the Asia, his delusion was gradually forgotten.
Transfering? It"s easy enough if you just think about it.
From a well known and highly sought after movie star to taking the lonely road of music creation. He cannot guarantee a smooth sailing journey to the top. After all, he has already reached the clouds once, so he lost the courage of taking risks.
His thoughts flying all over the room, the teenager on the stage slowly lowered the sound, voice low but filled with happiness. The voice of the emotion gradually precipitates, but the audience did not stop, they are still immersed in the feeling that came from the music.
Wen Xuning"s line of sight stopped on the ba.s.s in the hands of the teenager.
“So it was him…”
Getting off the stage, the lead singer cast a grateful look to Su Yang, he accidentally set his tones too high, causing him to almost fall behind. Su Yang was able to save him and change the original song slightly, but the rhythm was more intense. The whole scene almost ignited because of his singing.
Su Yao"s voice is just like him, you"ll never expect what kind of experience he will bring, unpredictable but pleasantly surprising. When you think he"s already singing his highest note, he will sing a higher one. When you think that everything about him is already presented to you he will make you think again.
Sincerely he said: “Su Yao, I, Yan Zhuo once underestimated you. You aren"t a waste but a true genius. You may have already reached a professional level.”
Su Yang smiled modestly: “You flatter me, I just casually sang it, you didn"t blame me for changing the song.”
In fact, he really doesn"t know anything about this song, he just listened to the band"s rehearsal once, vaguely remembered a part of the tune, so was the impromptu modification, from the response of the crowd there shouldn"t have any problems.
The old man in the club sighed again and again. He used to think that he was a just a vase. He did not expect him to be a genius, it makes his face sizzle.
A few people talking and laughing in the background, Qin Yuan was conversing with a man wearing a black hoodie. When the man turned his face, everyone was stunned.
Suddenly everyone crowed: “Hey, President.”
Su Yang rubbed his eyes, surprised: “OMG I see a live Yu Zicang!!”
Qin Yuan: “…”
Wen Xiuning: “…”
