Chapter 900 - He Would Perform at the New Year's Gala!

Fang Qiu finished singing and stunned them.

“How is it?” Fang Qiu came out of the recording room and asked with a smile.

“Good.”

The mixer immediately stood up, gave Fang Qiu a thumbs-up, and said with appreciation and excitement, “Your singing is full of energy. Your skills and voice show that you have the potential to be a superstar. You sing so well that you can be a professional singer!”

He really didn’t expect that Fang Qiu could perform a new song so well. In terms of breath and voice control, he was no worse than a professional singer.

Most importantly, he had only read the stave a few times!

His talent was stunning!

Director Li Huawen also gave Fang Qiu a thumbs-up.

“This song is really beautiful, but I think it might be better to add a hand flute accompaniment in the middle part,” said Fang Qiu with a smile.

“Hand flute? What’s that?” Director Li Huawen asked.

Without saying a word, Fang Qiu directly raised his hand and began to whistle like a flute with his fingers.

He performed the melody of the song, which sounded melodious and beautiful.

Director Li Huawen was shocked. “Oh my god, you have such a talent!”

The mixer’s eyes sparkled at once. Then he closed his eyes and enjoyed the sound of the hand flute carefully.

After trying to add the hand flute accompaniment to the song in his mind, he found that the song became very harmonious and wonderful.

The hand flute was definitely icing on the cake!

He suddenly opened his eyes, which were sparkling, immediately clapped his hands and said, “Wonderful, wonderful, this idea is simply wonderful!”

Then he immediately turned his head and said excitedly to Director Li Huawen, “Do as Fang Qiu said. I can guarantee there will be at least one brilliant show at the New Year’s Gala!”

Hearing this, Director Li Huawen was surprised and happy.

He didn’t expect the mixer to think so highly of Fang Qiu.

“Even a professional mixer has given such a comment; it must be true!

“I have done the right thing to invite Fang Qiu to the gala. He could bring a surprise at any time!

“He didn’t want to attend the New Year’s Gala before. If I had known that he was so talented, I would have tied him up and brought him here!

“He is an affectionate man. I have to use a gentle approach instead of brute force to prevent him from quitting midway.”

Li Huawen began to ponder.

The mixer had begun to record the song again according to Fang Qiu’s words.

After the recording, the mixer made an “OK” gesture to Director Li Huawen.

Fang Qiu’s performance was perfect.

Director Li Huawen pulled Fang Qiu out with satisfaction and began to play “tricks” again.

He said while walking, “I know you’re busy, so I’ll give you a privilege. You don’t need to be present at the first three rehearsals. You can come when the last one comes, but you must practice this song well!”

“He is very busy, and no one knows what he is busy with.

“Therefore, I have to give him some time.”

“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded.

But he thought, “You are so ‘considerate’ and believe me so much!”

However, in that way, he would have time to handle his personal affair, for example, his book would be released soon.

They walked out of the recording room.

“Come on, let’s go to see the first rehearsal of the New Year’s Gala and feel the atmosphere.”

Following Director Li Huawen, Fang Qiu came to the rehearsal hall to watch the rehearsal.

After that, Director Li Huawen went to work.

Fang Qiu found a seat in the auditorium and sat down to watch other people rehearse.

He had to admit that what looks mediocre on TV was shocking to watch live.

In particular, it was dangerous to perform stunt shows, and the performers would make mistakes when they were not careful enough. Some performers who had made mistakes in the rehearsal made almost no mistakes on the stage of the New Year’s Gala, which showed how strict the stage of the New Year’s Gala was!

There was also the stage art controlling staff, the dancers, and all the busy staff behind the scenes.

So many people had put in much effort behind this feast for the eyes!

Watching the rehearsal, Fang Qiu couldn’t help saying, “It isn’t easy to do a job well for the people in each industry.”

At this time, a staff member walked past the passage among the audience seats. When he passed by Fang Qiu, he was slightly stunned. Without seeing Fang Qiu’s face, he went straight to a group of staff members in the front of the stage and asked warily, “Who is that person? How did he come in?”

No outsider was allowed to sneak into the rehearsal hall, to avoid them leaking the information.

As he asked, the staff member turned to look at Fang Qiu.

Seeing Fang Qiu’s face, he was dumbfounded!

“Huh? Is it Fang Qiu?” The staff member was surprised.

Hearing that, the other staff members also looked back, and when they found that it was indeed Fang Qiu that was sitting in the auditorium, they were stunned.

“I thought it was a paparazzo. It turns out to be Fang Qiu.” The staff member who recognized Fang Qiu first smiled.

The other staff members looked at each other and smiled.

“How could Fang Qiu be a paparazzo?

“He’s a highly-skilled doctor. It’s impossible that he is here to take secret photos.”

Of course, if it weren’t Fang Qiu but someone else that was sitting in the auditorium, they would have inquired carefully about it. After all, the shows of the New Year’s Gala should be strictly kept confidential. Therefore, many paparazzi hoped to make a name for themselves by exploring the breaking news of the New Year’s Gala. Every staff member of the New Year’s Gala was quite nervous about the appearance of a stranger!

“Why is Fang Qiu here?”

“Although Fang Qiu and Director Li Huawen have known each other since the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, Director Li is a very prudent person. He won’t let a friend come in to watch the rehearsal easily, will he?”

“Is Fang Qiu also going to perform at the New Year’s Gala?”

“I’ve never heard about it. Is his show on the list?”

“He’s not on the rehearsal list.”

Everyone was curious about Fang Qiu’s presence.

They thought about it for a long time but still couldn’t figure it out.

In the end, everyone could only continue to work despite being curious. After all, their work could not be neglected for even a minute.

On the other side of the rehearsal hall, many people also noticed Fang Qiu.

They were also very curious about why Fang Qiu was here.

In a dark corner of the auditorium, a reporter who had somehow managed to sneak in took a picture of Fang Qiu sitting in the auditorium with a cap on his head. Then he immediately turned around and left, not daring to stay any longer for fear of being caught.

Half an hour after he left, a piece of news suddenly came hot on the Internet.

“Amazing! Fang Qiu showed up at the first rehearsal of the New Year’s Gala!”

As soon as this news appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Everyone clicked on it and saw that the person sitting in the auditorium and wearing a cap was really Fang Qiu!

In addition to Fang Qiu’s photo, the reporter also uploaded a photo of the stage of the New Year’s Gala online, in which the back of Fang Qiu’s head could be clearly seen.

This confirmed that Fang Qiu indeed showed up at the rehearsal of the New Year’s Gala!

“Fang Qiu would perform at the New Year’s Gala?”

Thinking of Li Huawen, who was the director of the New Year’s Gala of this year, everyone suddenly understood something.

Not to mention that Fang Qiu was the most popular person this year, he had attended the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, directed by Li Huawen, so the latter definitely would have Fang Qiu attend the New Year’s Gala.

Moreover, Fang Qiu was really popular this year. He had a positive image and a good reputation. He was one of the people who must be invited to the New Year’s Gala.

Thus, Fang Qiu showing up at the rehearsal was unexpected but reasonable.

Everyone was very curious about what show Fang Qiu would perform at the New Year’s Gala.

Fang Qiu’s fans were very happy after hearing the news.

“I’ve already guessed it. Fang Qiu must perform at the New Year’s Gala!”

“Ha-ha, Fang Qiu became famous because of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, the chief director of which is Li Huawen, who is also the chief director of the New Year’s Gala. Knowing such a talented person, the director would definitely invite him to the gala.”

“Great, I’m looking forward to watching the gala this year!”

“I’m wondering what Fang Qiu will perform at the New Year’s Gala!”

Netizens began to have a heated discussion and the number of reposts and comments soared on the Internet.

Soon, Fang Qiu’s parents saw the news on the Internet that he was going to perform at the New Year’s Gala.

“My son is going to perform at the New Year’s Gala???

“This was a piece of great news!”

They quickly called Fang Qiu.

After watching the rehearsal, Fang Qiu excused himself to Director Li Huawen. When he was about to leave, his phone suddenly rang.

Afraid of disturbing the rehearsal, Fang Qiu quickly took out his phone. When he saw that the call was from his mother, he immediately answered it.

“Mom?” said Fang Qiu.

“Qiu, your dad and I saw the news on the Internet saying that you were going to perform at the New Year’s Gala, is it true?” Fang Qiu’s mother asked excitedly.

“You’ve seen it? It’s true. I wanted to spend the New Year’s Eve with you and Dad, but now I can’t,” said Fang Qiu guiltily.

“It’s okay! It’s okay!” Fang Qiu’s mother immediately said, “It’s just one time. We could spend the eve together in the following years. You should perform well at the New Year’s Gala. Your dad and I are waiting to watch you on TV.”

“Qiu, the New Year’s Gala is different from other events. You can’t make mistakes,” Fang Qiu’s father said. “Since you have decided to perform on such a big stage, you must try your best to perform well!”

“Your father is right. The New Year’s Gala is not the show that whoever could attend as they want. It’s not easy to get such an opportunity. You must grasp it, understand?” Fang Qiu’s mother said.

Listening to his parents taking turns to speak and listening to the excited tone of them, Fang Qiu smiled and said, “Well, I will try my best and seize this opportunity!”

His parents told him about some other things with excitement, such as taking some photos, bring photos of him with big stars back to magnify them and hang them on the wall, and so on.

People of their generation had deep feelings for the New Year’s Gala.

The New Year’s Gala was essential to them for the new year.

For them, it was the most honorable thing to perform at the New Year’s Gala.

Fang Qiu agreed to all his mother’s requests!

After the call, Fang Qiu finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He put away his phone and was ready to leave.

“Did your parents just call you?” Director Li Huawen suddenly asked.

“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded.

“Try your best to perform well. They will be proud of you.” Director Li Huawen patted Fang Qiu on the shoulder.

“Since I have agreed, I will definitely try my best. Don’t worry, Director Li,” Fang Qiu said confidently, and then added, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

“Wait a minute.” Director Li Huawen quickly stopped Fang Qiu and said, “Rehearsal is done. Let’s go to have dinner together. Someone wants me to introduce you to him.”

“Who is it?” Fang Qiu asked.

“A great director.” Director Li Huawen smiled mysteriously.

Fang Qiu was stunned. Then, he recalled the names of several famous directors in Huaxia. Then, a name appeared in his mind—Chen Xiaogang, the only director who might have something to do with him.

Some time ago, he heard that Director Chen was going to make a movie whose protagonist was Yang Yizhi!

Some netizens recommended that Fang Qiu act in the movie.

Except Director Chen, the other directors had nothing to do with Fang Qiu at all.

“Could it be Director Chen Xiaogang?” asked Fang Qiu.

Was he going to be invited to act in a movie?
