Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 331 - 136: Zelin, If There’s a Chance, Let’s Go Watch the Meteor Shower Together!
"Here, I must thank the student council of the college, thank the department’s student council, thank the entertainment department, and thank all the audience!"
"Of course, I am most grateful to those adorable folks from Finance Class 1 who supported me in the most enthusiastic way. Yes, the beautiful ladies screaming the loudest over there and the guys whistling the loudest!"
"..."
The audience couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Except for group dances and choruses, other performers would prepare a short opening speech before coming on stage.
Almost everyone else was very proper, rarely someone this cheeky.
Through just a brief opening, the audience immediately formed an impression and some understanding of Su Zelin.
This boy is obviously an optimistic and cheerful type, humorous and relaxed. To him, coming to this stage seems like an enjoyment, unlike many performers who appear slightly nervous and restrained.
In fact, the mood of the audience is greatly influenced by the performer. When the performer loosens up, the audience feels more relaxed. If the performer is nervous, the audience also gets affected, fearing awkward moments.
As a performer, if you want a good show, you need to adjust the audience’s mood with a little trick before starting the performance, commonly known as setting the tempo.
"This guy is still the same on stage as he was in high school!"
Yan Qingyi couldn’t help but chuckle.
Su Zelin was a frequent participant in the arts galas back in high school, with a particular knack for the stage, he knew exactly how to engage people and set the tempo, it was indeed remarkable.
Every time he appeared at an arts gala, there would be a lot more laughter.
Plus, being very talented, even though Su Zelin had a less favorable reputation at that time, he was still a staple on the school’s arts gala stage.
Even someone like Yan Qingyi, involved in broadcasting, had to admire him on this point.
Now in university, Su Zelin maintained that same carefree style, just the stage got bigger.
Tao Min, who had returned to the audience seats, felt invigorated.
This opening speech was handled excellently by the junior, now it’s all about how well his guitar performance will go!
After setting a small wave of rhythm, the guy didn’t dawdle too much since every performer’s time on stage is strictly limited.
"Tonight, I’ll be performing a very popular and well-loved song for you all, and its name is..."
Su Zelin paused, then continued: "’Can’t Help Falling in Love’!"
The audience, which had just calmed down, instantly went wild again.
This time it wasn’t just the girls from Finance Class 1 who were screaming.
"Wow, it’s the song from ’Meteor Garden’!"
"I love ’Meteor Garden’ to death, can’t believe someone is performing this song with guitar at this gala!"
"How long has it been since ’Meteor Garden’ aired, and someone already learned its song, that’s amazing!"
"..."
Just by announcing the song name, the whole venue erupted into excitement, especially the girls were extremely thrilled.
Choosing the right song for solo performances also involves some tricks.
Lei Buzi’s famous saying "If you’re in the right place at the right time, even pigs can fly" applies on the stage as well.
The youth campus idol drama "Meteor Garden" was that chance, carrying huge buzz and attention, the show effect is guaranteed.
Moreover, since the drama had just aired not long ago, it was likely that no one in any school had performed the guitar song on stage yet, as it takes time to practice.
In this way, the show effect was maximized.
As long as your performance isn’t too bad, the audience will be supportive.
As to why choose the insert song "Can’t Help Falling in Love" over the theme song "Meteor Rain", there’s a reason.
Because the main singers of "Meteor Rain" are styled like pop idols, many guys don’t like them, or even actively dislike them, which is one reason why "Meteor Garden" gets mocked.
But "Can’t Help Falling in Love" is different. The singer, Harlem, had a cameo role in the drama, and he received positive reviews.
Boys liked him too, which catered to all the audience.
Moreover, "Can’t Help Falling in Love" has been popular for decades as a must-learn song for guys who play guitar and confess.
So Su Zelin’s choice of song was simply perfect.
The reaction from the scene also proved his choice was quite wise.
"Oh my, it turns out to be a song from ’Meteor Garden’, our monitor said it’s new and girls would love it, I can’t believe I didn’t guess it, how silly of me!"
Nanaz was excited yet frustrated, feeling a bit like Xiong Da without a brain.
"I actually thought it might be related to ’Meteor Garden’, but then I thought it’s only been out for a few days, how could the monitor learn it, okay, I was wrong, I underestimated the monitor’s speed!"
Luo Xi shrugged.
"I’m looking forward to it, but also a bit nervous. The monitor hasn’t had much time to learn it, hope he performs well!"
Nanaz was the type who dreamt of romance, even having a bit of a die-hard fan tendency towards "Meteor Garden".
The fact that Su Zelin was performing her favorite "Meteor Garden" song made it impossible for her not to be excited and nervous.
The stage lights suddenly went out, but that wouldn’t affect the guitar performance.
The moonlight was perfect tonight, adding a touch of tranquility to the atmosphere.
