Chapter 492: Money Can't Buy Mom's Love
Even Zheng Guangming himself was surprised when he heard the news. He was almost sixty years old, and he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to sing a new song.
However, he still actively prepared. After teaching music for so many years, singing has long been engraved in his bones and has become an instinct that he can't forget even if he wants to.
The news that Xu Nuo will collaborate with Zheng Guangming on a new song in class spread like wildfire.
Shanghai Media University has once again received collective attention from the media.
There are even many reporters who rushed directly from Jiangcheng to Shanghai. In their opinion, Xu Nuo just stepped off the podium of Jiangda's history class and stood on the podium of the music class. This is a news hotspot.
Shanghai Media University's admission application was crowded, and the overwhelming applications flew into the campus like snowflakes.
Zhang Feng waved his hand and directly arranged for this class to be held in the school's largest auditorium, but even so, the auditorium with a capacity of several thousand people could not accommodate so many applicants.
Reporters and the public naturally knew that it was not easy to get a quota, so everyone began to seek various ways.
Originally, everyone thought that the best way was to find students from Shanghai Media University and give them some money to let them give up their places in the class. Unexpectedly, all the students contacted refused.
No one was willing to give up their places even if they were paid.
Of course, not all students are so noble. The main reason is that the school has taken measures. For the students who register, the identity will be verified one by one. If there is any fraud, the qualification to attend the class will be cancelled and the course will be blacklisted.
This way is not feasible, and other people start to find ways through connections.
The school is not stupid. Some people can get in through connections. Most of the remaining places are decided by drawing lots.
Profits first, fairness in mind, this is the solution given by Shanghai Media.
In November, the weather is getting colder, and it is a bit cold to wear one.
On the day of the class, Xu Nuo put on a suit and looked very energetic.
When he walked into the auditorium, there was thunderous applause and many students screamed like groundhogs.
"So handsome!"
"Wow, he really fits my aesthetic!"
"Gentle and elegant, that's how to describe him."
"I saw him in the library two years ago, and I mustered up the courage to chat with him. After adding him on WeChat, I never dared to talk to him again." A junior school girl said with a crazy look on her face.
"What? You actually added him on WeChat? Is this true?" A girl next to her was shocked.
"Yes, I thought he added me because he was interested in me, but he told me that my friends were there at the time, and he added me for my face, and he said he had no interest in dating." The girl smiled and sighed.
"Wow, this is so heartwarming!"
"Yes, if he refused directly, I might never dare to take the initiative to chat again."
Someone next to him heard it and came over and said, "I think this method is good. It doesn't hurt your self-esteem, but it shows your attitude. Get a new skill."
"Hey, you added him on WeChat, did he delete you?" A student gossiped.
The girl was stunned for a moment: "I don't know, I didn't dare to talk to him afterwards."
"Try it!" someone encouraged.
The girl hesitated for a moment, "How to try? Send him a message? Not good, right?"
"You are stupid, if you transfer money to him and it says you are not a friend, then he has deleted you. If you can transfer money, then he has not deleted you." Another student suggested.
"Not good, what if the money is transferred to him?" The girl shook her head.
"You don't have to transfer money to him, just give it a try."
The girl hesitated for a moment, and was a little moved. She also wanted to know if Xu Nuo would delete her.
"Try it?"
"Okay." The girl made up her mind.
He clicked on the dialog box, and the chat records in it had long been lost. The chat interface was empty. She looked up at Xu Nuo who had just walked onto the podium and clicked on the transfer.
A large group of people had gathered around, and everyone wanted to know whether Xu Nuo had deleted him.
The girl followed the steps, one step, two steps, three steps...
A burst of exclamations suddenly broke out in a corner of the auditorium.
"Fuck!"
"Awesome!"
"You didn't delete it!"
"Fuck, I'm so jealous!"
"Ahhhh, I'm dying."
It wasn't class yet, but the sudden noise attracted a lot of attention.
The professors in the front row turned their heads, and even Xu Nuo on the podium looked over.
His action immediately caused another scream.
"I declare that I am a die-hard fan of Nuo Yan!"
"Me too!"
It's no wonder they were so excited, they had never heard of a star keeping a stranger's WeChat and not deleting it.
There were even many die-hard fans who spent money to buy tickets and send souvenirs, and went through a lot of trouble to add the contact information of their idols, but before they had time to show off, they turned around and found that their idols had deleted it.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Stars who took gifts from fans with a smile on their faces in front of the camera threw them into the trash can after walking out of the camera.
In front of the camera and outside the camera, they are completely two different people.
This blow defeated them all at once, and also made them doubt whether it was really worth it to spend so much money chasing stars?
The bell rang, and the excitement at the scene only lasted for a while before it died down.
Xu Nuo looked down to see if his clothes were neat, and officially began to lecture.
This time, the method is still mainly based on the combination of theory and practice.
"Next, I will invite two students to come up..."
Before Xu Nuo finished speaking, the students in the audience raised their hands in unison.
Some people felt that one hand was not enough, and even raised two hands at the same time.
What is the scene of three thousand people raising their hands in unison?
Shocking.
In addition to shocking, everyone rushed to hope that Xu Nuo could call on them.
Xu Nuo was also confused. It was just singing a song. Why are you so excited?
He called on a boy first, and when he was about to call on another boy, a huge protest broke out on the scene.
"Teacher Xu, you have called on boys, it's our turn!"
"That's right, it was boys in the last class!"
Xu Nuo: "..."
There was no way, it was difficult to offend the public anger, so he invited a girl to the stage.
This time, he explained various singing methods, starting with the bel canto singing method.
The course went smoothly. After guidance and demonstration, the students on the stage obviously changed.
Some theories cannot be understood by just listening to others, but you have to experience and learn them in person.
Of course, a better way is to have someone teach them. Xu Nuo's guidance is simply a revelation to them.
Soon, the class came to an end, and everyone did not feel tired at all.
Xu Nuo's style is to demonstrate while teaching. Every sentence he sings can make everyone's eyes light up.
Because everyone found that this sentence had not been heard before, it should not be a popular song, so there is only one answer, either he made it up temporarily, or he had written it a long time ago but did not release it.
This kind of continuous little surprise allows everyone to keep fresh.
After Xu Nuo finished the last part, he looked at the time: "Okay, today's formal class is here."
There was a burst of applause at the scene.
"Next, I will invite Professor Zheng Guangming to come on stage and show you how to combine bel canto singing with Chinese style." Xu Nuo made a gesture of invitation.
Zheng Guangming, who had been sitting in the front row, stood up and walked onto the stage.
The students applauded him, but everyone was more confused.
If they want to sing together, there are many people in the school who are more suitable than Zheng Guangming. After all, Professor Zheng's hair is already gray and he is about to retire.
Zheng Guangming was also puzzled, so he asked directly on the podium.
"Teacher Xu, why did you choose me?"
Xu Nuo smiled slightly and gave the answer directly.
An answer that made many people smile unconsciously.
"Because my mother was once your fan."
Zheng Guangming suddenly realized, he straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "It's really my honor."
"It's also my honor." Xu Nuo raised his hand to signal him to stand in the center of the stage, but Zheng Guangming refused.
"I'm unworthy, let's stand together."
This scene made many professors show expressions of approval on their faces.
Young people who know how to respect the elderly and know how to be filial to their parents are not uncommon now.
But at Xu Nuo's current position, he can still maintain his original intention and is not arrogant at all. It is indeed a rare thing.
After the two of them were humble to each other, the band of Magic City Media University also took the stage. Among them were teachers and students. They were not very professional, but they were not too amateur.
"Today's song is called "A Thousand Miles Away". Teacher Zheng has done a lot of research on bel canto singing. Today, everyone can see a new style." Xu Nuo introduced the song this time.
"A Thousand Miles Away" is the title song of Jay Chou's seventh album "Still Fantasy".
In 2005, the afterglow of "Chopin in November" was still there, and many people were looking forward to Jay Chou's next album.
At the same time, the promotion of "Curse of the Golden Flower", a luxurious collaboration between Jay Chou, Chow Yun-fat and Zhang Yimou, was in full swing.
In such an environment, "Still Fantasy" gave the Chinese music scene a big surprise.
Once "A Thousand Miles Away" was released, it quickly occupied major media radio stations and captured the hearts of a large number of middle-aged and elderly fans.
The biggest feature of this "A Thousand Miles Away" is the contrast. The R&B style song is combined with the American singing voice, forming an effect of 1+1 greater than 2.
Jay Chou's fans have become older, and Fei Yuqing's fame has also begun to rise in the mainland.
On the stage, Xu Nuo and Zheng Guangming stood on both sides, the curtain closed, and the band began to play.
The crisp bell sounded, followed by the sound of wind chimes, which easily reminded people of "Seven Miles of Fragrance".
The professors thought of a word at the same time: "Prelude Kill".
The prelude alone can catch the audience's ears, which is called "prelude kill", but unfortunately few people can learn this skill.
The music continued, and more than 3,000 people listened to this "Thousand Miles Away" with their ears perked up.
