She had both spiritual energy and talent, as well as skills and experienceâ¦
The director was a little surprised, but at the same time, he was glad. He had some knowledge of the piano, or he wouldnât have taken on such a heavy responsibility to shoot this program.
After so many episodes, many artistes had displayed the smoothness of their long-term practice but not their spiritual aura and different understanding of music.
Qiao Weiyang managed to do it, which shocked the director.
The audience below the stage also went from being a little nonchalant just now to being fully focused now.
The music caught their attention.
They felt as though Qiao Weiyang had finished playing in a moment. Xu Wangzhi took over for the third part again.
The audience realized that Xu Wangzhiâs performance was also very good. It was just that no one had paid much attention to him before, so they missed out on his talent.
When Qiao Weiyang played again, Xu Wangzhi began to sing and perform. The two of them had never worked together or rehearsed before, but they cooperated extremely well.
When their performance ended, the two of them bowed together. The audience below the stage had yet to come back to their senses.
Three seconds later, there was a burst of applause.
âGood, not bad!â the director said immediately.
The emcee said his closing words, and the judges below the stage also gave their opinions.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Compared to how they treated Xu Wangzhi casually in the past, this time, their opinions were much more pertinent, and the evaluation went on for much longer.
As he walked down the stage, Xu Wangzhi still couldnât believe it. He looked at Qiao Weiyang seriously a few times before saying, âLil Yang Yang? Aunt Lin?â âItâs me, Qiao Weiyang,â Qiao Weiyang said with a smile.
Xu Wangzhi said in surprise, âI really didnât associate you with Qiao Weiyang.
When I came to the countryside to practice the piano, you were only this tallâ¦â He pointed at a spot that was almost at his shoulder.
âAt that time, Aunt Lin was very strict and didnât let you run around. I had my own things to do too. It was normal for us not to remember each otherâs appearances,â Qiao Weiyang said with a smile.
âIâm so happy that youâre here,â Xu Wangzhi said. âIâll treat you to dinner tonight. Youâve worked hard.â
âIâll treat you next time. I have something else to do tonight. Iâm really sorry.â
âItâs okay. Next time, then.â Xu Wangzhi was also very calm. When he found out that Lil Yang Yang was Qiao Weiyang, he was more surprised than excited.
The director also rushed over and walked toward Qiao Weiyang. He stretched out his hand and said, âMs. Qiao, Iâm really sorry for my negligence. Itâs a great honor that youâre here. If I had known, I wouldâve arranged for someone to pick you up and accompany you to the venue. Iâm really sorry for being inconsiderate. Please forgive me.â
âIt was a last-minute decision, so Wangzhi and his manager didnât have time to communicate it with you.â
Qiao Weiyang gave Xu Wangzhi a way out.
Only then did the director remember that when Brother Tang looked for him yesterday, he seemed to have mentioned Qiao Weiyangâs name but he didnât pay attention to it.
He seemed to have provided Qiao Weiyangâs information.
âDirector, Lil Yang Yang is leaving. Iâll send her off,â Xu Wangzhi said.
The director had a lot to say and wanted to seek future cooperation, but he could only give up for the time being. He only had time to get Qiao Weiyangâs contact information.
Xu Wangzhi accompanied Qiao Weiyang out. Brother Tang took out a check and said sincerely to Qiao Weiyang, âWeiyang, this is the appearance fee given by the production team.â
Xu Wangzhi remembered that he had added 100,000 yuan to it and immediately felt a little embarrassed.
Initially, he wanted Lil Yang Yang and Aunt Lin to use the money to improve their lives. However, with Qiao Weiyangâs current net worth, her value was completely immeasurable.
Qiao Weiyang calmly stretched out her hands to take it. She even glanced at the amount before saying with a smile, âThen Iâll accept it. Thank you.â
She looked natural and magnanimous as if she had received any reward. She was neither disdainful nor excited.
Her attitude quickly dissipated the hidden embarrassment in Xu Wangzhiâs heart. He felt that nothing would be inappropriate in front of her.
After sending Qiao Weiyang off, Brother Tang couldnât help but say, âNo wonder she became famous. Her profession and her work attitudeâ¦â
âBrother Tang!â Xu Wangzhiâs voice became more serious.
Brother Tang hurriedly stood at attention. âWangzhi, listen to my explanation. I didnât mean to hide it from you⦠Itâs just that the director couldnât be bothered with me when I went to look for him yesterday. Thatâs why I wanted to keep our trump card and bomb themâ¦â
Xu Wangzhi thought about it and realized that it was also his fault. He hadnât read the information sent by Qiao Weiyang seriously, nor had he communicated with her properly.
He said, âForget it. But make sure this wonât happen again.â
âSure thing.â
The director had already hurriedly gotten the social media team to post a teaser on their official Weibo account. [Piano Story will welcome a heavyweight mysterious guest in this episode! Who is she? What kind of sparks will fly when she collaborates with our artistes? Repost this Weibo post. Those who answer correctly will receive an exquisite gift from the production team!]
This naturally aroused everyoneâs curiosity. The few guests that the show had previously done publicity on had already made everyone very curious.
Now, there was even a heavyweight mystery guest?
With gifts given and the joy of guessing, everyone naturally participated enthusiastically.
The other artistes and guests also vaguely heard that Xu Wangzhi had invited a mysterious guest!
However, the production team suddenly kept it a secret and strictly ordered that no one was to share the information!
For a moment, there were all kinds of opinions. It was unknown where Xu Wangzhi got the resources from, but he suddenly invited a guest that even the production team had to treat like this. It was really rare!
However, everyone could tell that Xu Wangzhi was determined to stay on this show.
Hence, not only was the outside world looking forward to the big reveal, but the artistes participating in the show were also looking forward to it.
When the director was editing the footage, he naturally wouldnât cut Xu Wangzhiâs scene.
Initially, he expected to only give Xu Wangzhi more than a minute of screen time. This time, he directly made Xu Wangzhi the highlight of the show.
The director also included some backstage and dressing room scenes of Xu Wangzhi.
Although all of this was given to Xu Wangzhi, it only allowed him to have as much screen time as the others in the past. But it was still good enough for him to improve by a few levels.
The episode of Piano Story was broadcasted as scheduled.
The audience in front of the TV and computer were also waiting to watch this episode. They were looking forward to the mysterious guest.
Many celebrities on the show were very popular, and the guests they previously invited were also very famous..
