Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 50 Long live youth!

While waiting for Wen Hao to sing, Fang Mengwei always felt as if her heart was being tickled by thousands of ants, which was extremely tormenting.

She is really, really curious!
  Two days ago, she just received the admission notice from Yale University's Department of Performance and Art, and is determined to become an excellent Broadway musical actor in the future.

Although her goal is Broadway, she still loves pop music very much.

Before meeting Wen Hao today, she actually expected Wen Hao to make a fool of himself at the party.

After all, if you, a sports athlete, can sing better than Liu Xiang, that is also very good and worthy of praise.

But isn’t it self-defeating to make original music?
  Many children from wealthy families in the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University have been exposed to music and learned various musical instruments since childhood, and some have even been admitted to prestigious music schools such as Yangyin, Huyin, and Sichuan Music.
  But most of them can only play musical instruments or sing well, and I haven't seen them write any decent music.

Now, Wen Hao not only appeared in the backcourt of the auditorium as promised, but also found Hu Yanbing and the Chuer band as partners.

At this time, Fang Mengwei was completely confused.

Could it be said that Wen Hao can really write a good song?

At 19: sharp, the -day swearing-in ceremony officially kicked off.

First, the host opened the ceremony, then the dean took the stage to give a speech and encourage the students, and then a student representative from the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University led the senior high school students to take the oath.

After the serious part, it entered the joyful performance part.

After introducing the first program to be performed on stage, Fang Mengwei returned to the backcourt and heard Wen Hao chatting with Hu Yanbing and the Chuer Band in the corner.

The content of their chat was not nonsense, but professional topics such as [the correct way to use 4536251] [the development prospects of electronic music] [the declining trend of rock music in the Chinese market].

Just through these chats, Fang Mengwei felt that Wen Hao really seemed to understand music.

Out of curiosity, Fang Mengwei approached as the host, hoping to get to know more about this idol boy on campus.

Hu Yanbing and the Chuer Band wisely stepped aside, leaving space for the two of them.

Fang Mengwei originally thought she could start the topic well, but after talking about being admitted to Yale University, Wen Hao's words became a bit strange, such as:
  "Study abroad in a beautiful country? That's great. It's a beacon of light in the world. I wish you all the best and a bright future."

"People who have been there say that from the moment you step off the plane, the air in the beautiful country is sweet."

"If you travel to New York, remember to experience the subway there. It is said that New York has the most advanced subway network in the world!"

At first, Fang Mengwei thought Wen Hao was praising the Lighthouse Country, but soon she realized something was wrong.

No, the air is sweet?

Although some of the beautiful cities she visited did have better environments than Yanjing, which was plagued by sand and dust all year round, it was not like she had never traveled domestically.

China has a vast territory of thousands of miles, with famous mountains and rivers spanning north and south, and scenic spots all over the east and west.

As for the air being sweet, that’s even more nonsense!

How can normal air be sweet?
  Unless there is a vinyl chloride leak!

Fang Mengwei originally wanted to correct Wen Hao's thinking, thinking that as a national athlete, he should maintain a rational and objective understanding of the beautiful country, instead of listening to the comments on the Internet and thinking that everything from the beautiful country is good.

But after hearing that description of the New York subway and the faint smile on Wen Hao's lips, Fang Mengwei finally woke up.

This guy is using complimentary words to insinuate the beautiful country!
  After figuring out the meaning behind Wen Hao's words, Fang Mengwei covered her mouth and laughed, looking at Wen Hao with a hint of appreciation in addition to curiosity.

Then she discovered that Wen Hao was really good-looking!
  After all, the game picture on TV was a bit blurry. Now at such a close distance, Fang Mengwei could even see the pores on his face clearly.

At this time, Fang Mengwei realized that Wen Hao was actually wearing no makeup, with no trace of makeup on his face.

But it is such a plain face that is more beautiful than many faces with makeup.

The skin color is not the unhealthy white color that is covered with cosmetics, but a wheat color that symbolizes health.

At the same time, the pores are very fine, and there is not a single pimple on the face, not even acne.

What a great face!

Fang Mengwei gradually became obsessed with it, and she didn't wake up until Wen Hao patted her on the shoulder and reminded her not to delay speaking on stage.

On the stage, the literary club's poetry recitation program was coming to an end. Fang Mengwei waved to Wen Hao and motioned for him to follow her. After she finished reciting her speech, she was ready to go on stage.

Wen Hao stood at the side and behind the curtain, watching this new fan girl get on the stage and speak gracefully.

Behind him were Hu Yanbing and the Chuer Band, as well as a dozen student union staff members who were moving the piano and drums onto the stage.

The moment they saw the piano and drum set, the senior high school students in the auditorium immediately started shouting.

Everyone knows - the big show tonight is coming!
  As for Fang Mengwei, after the shouting in the auditorium gradually subsided, she began to introduce:
  "You may have heard of the following program in the past few days, and you must have been looking forward to it for a long time.

The next program is a performance of an original song called "Chasing Dreams with an Innocent Heart".

The creator of this song said that "Chasing Dreams" does not need too much introduction, because the emotions he wants to express are contained in the lyrics word for word.

Next, let us invite Wen Hao, as well as the famous singer Hu Yanbing, and the Chuer Band to play this mysterious song "Chasing Dreams of the Pure Heart" for us! 』

After reading this series of casual introductions as requested by Wen Hao, Fang Mengwei quickly walked off the stage.

The lights began to focus on the center of the stage, and a student union staff member quickly walked onto the stage and placed a microphone stand there.

Piano, drum set, microphone stand, this scene constantly stimulates the curiosity of teachers and students.

After a few months, Wen Hao's image and deeds have long been known to teachers and students, but now he suddenly has the identity of a "singer". How can we not make people curious?
  Out!
  He looks similar to what teachers and students have seen on TV. He has refreshing short hair, handsome appearance, and is still wearing the familiar national team uniform.

Well, there are differences.

That sports vest, which looks like a national team uniform, has a five-star red flag printed on the chest and five characters - Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart!

After Wen Hao walked to the middle of the stage, he held the microphone stand and said nothing.

After him, Hu Yanbing and the Chuer Band, who were also familiar to teachers and students, also appeared on the stage one after another.

Hu Yanbing sat in front of the piano, while the band and others performed their duties. The lead singer Da Zhang Wei stood on the left side of Wen Hao with an electric guitar on his back.

"No, Wen Hao is serious?!"

"Oh my god, I used to think that sportsmen wearing this kind of sports vests were really ugly, but why do I think Wen Hao is so handsome?"

"Here I go, it's really the band Chu'er. I really like their song "Scrub"!"

"Am I the only one who cares about Wen Hao's original songs? The battle is so big, so don't overturn it."

"."

The teachers and students in the audience were talking a lot, and the auditorium suddenly became noisy again.

Fang Mengwei, the newly minted girl, put her hands on her chest and intertwined her fingers.

She is now very eager to hope that Wen Hao's so-called original song "Chasing Dreams" can reach the qualifying line, at least, it won't be unpleasant to listen to!
  It is a bold move for an athlete to sing on stage, not to mention that the song is his own original work?

Tonight's swearing-in ceremony and program performance were all recorded by the student union. Some teachers and students in the audience also used their own cameras to record the video, which will definitely be posted online for people to comment on.

If the quality of this song "Chasing Dreams" is not up to par, Fang Mengwei can already imagine what kind of criticism netizens will make.

"It is simply embarrassing for a good athlete to play music instead of being a good athlete!"

"What a bullshit song, written like a piece of bullshit!"

"Such a pushy person will become a black sheep sooner or later, and he should be kicked out of the national team immediately!"

If you don't want this to happen, there is only one way, and that is - the quality of the songs is passable. Even if it is not amazing enough, it must at least achieve a satisfactory effect.

From the moment he stood in the center of the stage, Wen Hao held on to the microphone stand and lowered his head.

The teachers and students in the audience were chatting in his ears. Being slightly closer to the stage, Wen Hao could even hear the distrustful words in their conversation.

Strange things are always not trusted by the public.

Suddenly, he changed his identity from a sports player to a "singer" that is unfamiliar to people, and he is also an original singer. It is normal for people to question him.

In this case, use music to break these doubts!
  After the lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass, and drums were all auditioned, Wen Hao nodded to Hu Yanbing on the side, and then pulled the microphone to his lips.

""Chasing Dreams" is dedicated to all the innocent children and young people in the past, present and future who pursue their dreams relentlessly and never give up!"

After he finished speaking, Hu Yanbing's hands began to dance on the keys.    "唔, 唔, 唔, 唔"

Like a heartbeat, it played in the minds of teachers and students.

The simple and catchy prelude immediately calmed down the restless hearts of the teachers and students in the audience.

Everyone temporarily stopped talking and stared intently at Wen Hao on the stage, who was very different from his previous image.

It wasn't until the drum kit joined in and the prelude was about to end that Wen Hao held the microphone stand tightly with both hands, closed his eyes, and began to sing loudly with a determined voice:
  Where is the world full of flowers?

If it really existed then I would definitely go
  I want the highest mountain to stand there

Don't care if it's a cliffhanger

After the singing started, it was not as unbearable as expected, nor was it unexpectedly stunning.

Wen Hao's singing voice gives people the first impression that it is like an ordinary singer with a good sense of music, singing loudly in front of his friends with a big white voice.

Live hard, love hard, even if your liver and brain are ruined
  Don’t ask for anyone’s satisfaction, just be worthy of yourself
  Regarding ideals, I never choose to give up

even in the gray days

After getting over the initial unfamiliar feeling, the teachers and students in the audience gradually began to follow Wen Hao's singing, or closed their eyes and listened carefully, or blended into the singing by beating the rhythm.

As mentioned in the previous introduction, the meaning of the lyrics of this song is indeed very straightforward, and even elementary school students can understand it.

But such simple and plain lyrics are often fascinating, because the emotions contained in them can directly touch the soul.

Great simplicity!

Maybe I don't have talent

But I have the innocence of dreams

I will prove it with my whole life
  It was only then that those teachers and students present who had studied music and whose understanding of music was higher than ordinary people began to suddenly wake up.

With this strong chest voice, powerful and long breath, and almost no elegant pitch, how can he be an ordinary singer?
  This is totally the level of a professional singer!

"I will prove it with my whole life", such a simple lyric with a sad and sinking melody,

Coupled with Wen Hao's timely addition of emotional expressions that show exhaustion and helplessness, it seems that people really see a boy who is considered "ordinary" shouting to the world, motivating himself to never give up!
  Maybe my hands are clumsy

But I am willing to keep exploring

Give all your youth without leaving any regrets——
  If you want to advance, suppress it first!

At this time, even teachers and students who don't understand music theory at all, after hearing this melody that suddenly sinks and then gradually rises, they all understand what kind of passionate climax chorus they will hear next!
  And Wen Hao on the stage also opened his eyes that had been closed tightly at this time, his eyes were as bright as fire!

Then, there were hysterical shouts:

run ahead! ! !
  Facing cold looks and ridicule
  How can we feel the vastness of life without experiencing hardships?
  Destiny cannot make us kneel down and beg for mercy
  Even if blood is spilled all over my arms
  Keep running!
  With pure pride
  How can you see the sparkle of life if you don’t persist to the end?
  It's better to burn than to linger

One day it will sprout again
  All the hidden emotions were completely exploded and vented in this series of high notes that penetrated people's hearts.

Abandoning the gorgeous, psychedelic, and experimental singing techniques that people once thought of rock music;
  It abandons the criticism of dissatisfaction with social phenomena that Chinese rock music must have carried in the past, and the so-called pretentious profundity of seeing through the essence.

As expressed in the lyrics, the passionate sentiment of "It is better to burn with abandon than to linger";

The spirit of being willing to sacrifice one's life and blood for idealism;
  The hysterical singing expresses the persistent pursuit and persistence of dreams, and the full emotion seems to sing the voice of everyone who is on the road to their ideals!

The melodious string interlude echoed in the auditorium. Wen Hao took off the microphone, walked to the edge of the stage and sat down, showing a bright smile and waving to the teachers and students in the audience.

Only then did the teachers and students in the audience finally break away from the high-spirited singing just now.

One after another, row after row, teachers and students stood up and shouted loudly, and thunderous applause soared into the sky, as if they were about to overturn the auditorium.

They didn't know what they were shouting. Maybe they were amazed by Wen Hao's singing voice, maybe they were moved by the lyrics that hit their souls, or maybe they were reminded of the ups and downs they had experienced over the years.
  Seeing the enthusiastic response from teachers and students, Wen Hao was also very happy.

He raised his hands as if applauding.

Soon some sensitive teachers and students in the audience understood what he meant and began to applaud to the beat.

When the other teachers and students saw this, they quickly joined in.

"Whoa—! Whoa—! Whoa—!"

There was a wave of uniform applause in the auditorium.

Wen Hao nodded with satisfaction, followed the accompaniment and re-entered singing, and returned to the center of the stage with brisk steps.

The charming and brilliant future is always calling me

Even if there is only pain for company, we must move forward bravely

I want to sail the bluest sea there

I don’t care whether I can pay it back or not.
  Fang Mengwei felt like she was about to fall!
  She was born into a musical family and was influenced by her parents' musical ideas since childhood, which made her prefer operas and musicals to pop music.

Especially rock music, which in the past seemed to her to be nonsense and full of harsh noises from beginning to end, was the most despised in her heart.

But after listening to Wen Hao's song "Chasing Dreams" today, she discovered that rock music can be so sweet, and it can also touch the heat deep in her heart!

His outfit is not gorgeous, but it is refreshing and simple. Coupled with his toned figure and handsome face, he looks very comfortable.

His singing is not artificial at all, and his high notes are passionate but not sharp, fully displaying the masculinity of men.

Well, in addition to being really good at singing, Wen Hao's appearance is also a huge plus.

On the stage, after another burst of soul-shaking high-pitched bombardment, the song came to an end:
  For the good in my heart

Don't compromise until you get old.

After singing this line, Wen Hao took a step back and raised his hands to wave like a conductor.

As the last note of the melodious strings fell, he raised his right hand above his head and rotated it three times, then lowered it to his chest and bowed deeply to the audience.

This series of actions was very inconsistent with his sports attire, but it also had an indescribable elegance.

This Wen Hao is really a very strange person.

It's so strange that it's fascinating.
  "Thank you, thank you all! I believe you have personally felt the emotion and spirit expressed by this song "Chasing Dreams".

Tonight, I would like to dedicate this song "Chasing Dreams with an Innocent Heart" to every teacher and student here who insists on sprinting for the college entrance examination, and to all those who work tirelessly, chase unremittingly, and never give up on the road to their dreams!

Forever Young! ! ! "

The cry of "Long Live Youth" was like a hammer falling from high and hitting the hearts of the teachers and students in the audience.

Thunderous cheers and applause once again swept the auditorium. Every teacher and student who was infected by the power of music shouted with the greatest strength and vented the most sincere emotions deep in their hearts.

Hu Yanbing and the Chuer Band also came to the center of the stage. The six of them stood side by side and bowed to the teachers and students in the audience, officially ending the performance of the song.

Finally, Wen Hao waved to the teachers and students in the audience again before being pushed out by Hu Yanbing and others.

When passing by Fang Mengwei, who was about to return to the stage to host, Wen Hao suddenly felt a small paper ball stuffed in his palm.

He didn't have time to check it at the time. He didn't take out the small paper ball and check it until he got into the band's nanny car and was going to have a late-night snack to celebrate.

【free tonight? 1300116xxxx——Fang Mengwei]

"???"

Wen Hao looked at the information on the small paper ball with a confused look on his face. He really wanted to leave these old men behind and get out of the car to go to the beauty's invitation.

What a free initiative!
  Unfortunately, in addition to having a late-night snack to celebrate tonight, Hu Yanbing and Da Zhangwei also specially invited a senior executive from EMI Records to come over.

This incident is related to whether Wen Hao can officially start his career as a singer.

So the goddess of the attached middle school. Sorry, we are destined to meet again!
  　5.4K big chapter presented
  　　The singer is a sideline, so I will spend a certain amount of space describing it, but it is mainly about the performance of the song, and I directly skipped the plot such as arguing with the record company. After all, the main line is a sprint.

　　In addition, in terms of daily content, there will be some original female characters described in the book at a certain length, but the protagonist will not have a relationship with them. All the "female protagonists" related to the protagonist in this book are all female stars with realistic prototypes.

　　PS: In July 06, the second "female protagonist" of this book will appear.
