“Drawing lots?” Hu Ying’s eyes widened.
He wanted to play the violin! He played the violin very well and he wanted to amaze everyone!
“Yes, draw lots. We disrupted the programs of all the eight guests. Everyone would then draw lots and performed whatever they drew.”
“Director, you guys have been a bit lacking in creativity recently, and you actually still draw lots.” Hu Ying complained.
“Then what if I draw a musical instrument?” Huo Cheng said. “I don’t know how to play any musical instrument.”
Wen Nuo quickly said: “Neither can I.”
Not only did he not know how to play a musical instrument, he also didn’t know how to dance.
He couldn’t even sing, he got nervous easily.
He didn’t even know magic tricks.
He just knew martial arts, it was his only specialty!
“You may not draw an instrument. Everyone draw first, and we will fine-tune it after the draw. Many of our guests know how to play musical instruments,” Guo Bing said.
“Then just draw it.” Zhai Xingchen said, “Anyway, the arm can’t twist the thigh.”
“Everyone should learn from Xingchen,” Guo Bing said. “Everyone must believe in our program team. The program will definitely be better if we do it this way. We have all done audience research. The program is good-looking then it is good for everyone, and the audience also likes it. I know you are drawing lots, no one will say anything whether it’s good or bad, it’s mainly because it’s more interesting.”
“I want to see what programs everyone signed up for,” Hu Ying said.
Guo Bing showed them.
The one that most met everyone’s expectations was Zhai Xingchen’s dance “Spring in the North Country”. The program prepared by Hu Ying was the violin piece “Fire”, which seemed very exciting as soon as they heard it. Duan Yihua prepared an accordion song called “Twilight Stand”. Although they didn’t know what style the song was, and it sounded relatively unpopular, the accordion somehow fit Duan Yihua’s style. Yan Zhi was going to play a guitar song called “Wandering”. When you listened to it, you felt like experiencing the freedom of a bird. Lin Qingning had prepared a piano song “Love Song”. Pei Xu had also prepared a piano song called “Lake Baikal”. They didn’t know whether it was pure coincidence or deliberate.
What Huo Cheng prepared was a magic show.
Sure enough, as Guo Bing said, everyone’s preparations were as expected and there were no surprises.
The most unexpected one was Wen Nuo, who had prepared a martial arts performance.
Generally speaking, it was true that most of the rich second generations could play musical instruments.
“Which one of you will come first?” Guo Bing asked, holding the cardboard box.
“Qingning is not here.” Zhai Xingchen said.
“Everyone draw first, and the one left at the end is his.” Guo Bing said.
Duan Yihua walked out first: “I’ll go first.”
He smiled, put his hand into the cardboard box, touched it for a while, and finally pinched out a piece of paper. He took it out and looked at it, and his lips widened.
Guo Bing came up and took a look: “Show it to the camera.”
Duan Yihua showed it to the camera. After seeing it clearly, Hu Ying smiled and said, “Is this really okay? Brother Duan, can you play the guitar?”
Duan Yihua drew Yan Zhi’s “Wandering”.
Yan Zhi smiled and clapped.
Duan Yihua said with a smile: “I have never heard of “Wandering”, but I am happy to give it a try.”
Green tea!
Why, because it meant that Duan Yihua could not only play the accordion, but also play the guitar!
Zhai Xingchen couldn’t help but say: “This is beautiful. These two tracks should be completely different styles.”
When Yan Zhi heard this, he glanced at him and said, “It’s really not similar.”
“Next, second place.” Guo Bing said.
Yan Zhi walked out and took out a note.
What he drew was Huo Cheng’s magic show.
Yan Zhi smiled and said, “It’s not bad.”
Zhai Xingchen immediately stood up and took one too.
He sighed, opened the note, looked at it, and smiled.
“What?” Hu Ying asked hurriedly.
Zhai Xingchen showed it to the camera: “Martial arts.”
Wen Nuo was disappointed and happy at the same time. He clapped his hands and whispered: “Xingchen knows how to dance, your martial arts must be fine.”
After he finished speaking, he stood up and took out a note.
When he took it away and took a look, Wen Nuo was dumbfounded: “I won the lottery and got Brother Lin’s piano music.”
Huo Cheng looked at what everyone had pulled out, and now there was only a piano, a violin, a dance, and an accordion performance.
None of them he could play well.
At this time, the gap between a child from a poor family like him and this group of rich second generations became apparent.
It seemed like everyone among these second-generation rich people could play a musical instrument. This was a skill they must learn as children.
He simply drew one, opened it and saw that the one he drew was Pei Xu’s piano music.
“Let Brother Pei get the chance to dance.” Hu Ying prayed beside him.
He was the coolest among the guests, and his dancing was also the most exciting.
The final result was as expected.
Pei Xu really won the lottery.
Zhai Xingchen smiled and clapped his hands.
Pei Xu dancing, the scene was unimaginable.
Hu Ying became excited.
Because only his violin and Duan Yihua’s accordion were left.
Fifty percent probability!
“I’ve been unlucky many times in drawing lots. I’ve lived in a shabby house, so I should be lucky.” He said a prayer, and the variety show effect reached full marks.
Then he pursed his lips and put his hand into the cardboard box, touching it for a long time.
Pick it up and put it down.
Huo Cheng said: “It feels like two hundred pieces of paper were taken out by you.”
Hu Ying’s heartbeat accelerated.
He couldn’t wait to show off his talent.
He finally picked one of the notes, took it out and gave it to Zhai Xingchen: “Please read it for me.”
Zhai Xingchen smiled and helped him take it away, raising his eyebrows.
Before he could speak, Hu Ying couldn’t help it anymore. He leaned over and took a look, then jumped up: “YES!!”
Hu Ying became the luckiest person in the audience. He drew his own violin piece.
“I’m looking forward to Hu Ying’s violin performance,” Zhai Xingchen said.
The main thing was not the violin as an instrument, but the song “Fire” chosen by Hu Ying, which sounded very burning.
“Then the accordion is left in the end, so “Twilight Stand” belongs to Lin Qingning.” Guo Bing said.
“It might be okay to learn singing for a day, but not the piano,” Huo Cheng said.
Wen Nuo immediately said: “Yes, I really don’t know how to play the piano at all.”
“Let me change with Wen Nuo.” Zhai Xingchen said proactively, “I think he should perform martial arts. The contrast is quite big.”
Hu Ying and Duan Yihua also agreed, saying, “I also think Wen Nuo should perform martial arts. I want to see it.”
“Piano, can you do it?” Wen Nuo asked.
Zhai Xingchen said: “I know a little bit.”
Duan Yihua and Hu Ying glanced at Zhai Xingchen more after hearing this.
Could he actually play the piano?
Xingchen, I don’t know how many more surprises you have!
Huo Cheng immediately said: “I want to change too.”
“Brother Huo, do you want to perform your magic show?” Yan Zhi suddenly said.
Huo Cheng glanced at Yan Zhi.
“Can you play the piano?” Huo Cheng asked.
Yan Zhi said: “A little.”
Huo Cheng felt like he was learning from Zhai Xingchen.
He glanced at Yan Zhi and imagined how Yan Zhi would look like playing the piano while dressed in abstinence.
No, it was too charming.
“I want to trade with Pei Xu, as the one I drew is Pei Xu’s.” Huo Cheng said, “And I really want to try dancing.”
Huo Cheng had his own plans.
Firstly, if he was asked to choose between Pei Xu and Yan Zhi, he would definitely choose Pei Xu without even thinking about it. Secondly, although he knew nothing about dancing, his ability to dance well suited his character, and he was also quite funny. Yes, the most important thing was that this dance was what Zhai Xingchen was good at, and he could take the opportunity to learn from Zhai Xingchen.
As for his magic, it was not that good to begin with, and it could be performed or not.
He said to Pei Xu: “Xu, how about we change it too. You play the piano and I dance.”
“I can do it.” Pei Xu said.
Guo Bing asked: “Can the accordion also work?”
Pei Xu said, “I know a little bit.”
If you know a little bit, you know how to do it well.
Duan Yihua said “Wow” and said, “Not many people know this.”
“Where’s the violin?” Hu Ying joked.
Pei Xu said: “I don’t know how to play the violin very well.”
Not very good, but just a little bit good.
Everyone looked envious and jealous.
Guo Bing said: “That’s good. If Lin Qingning can’t play the accordion, he can switch with you.”
Pei Xu said: “Okay.”
Everyone looked at Pei Xu and felt that his whole body was shining.
Zhai Xingchen felt that all this was too in line with the character.
Apart from anything else, in terms of talent alone, the male protagonist of Jinjiang would definitely beat Haitang and Dianjia. The male protagonist of Jinjiang had almost all the skills related to romance.
