Chapter 390
In a blink of an eye, New Year's Day in 1997 came.
As in previous years, Beijiang Middle School started to hold a lively New Year's Eve party again.
This may be the only relaxation activity for students before the final exam. The scene where Yang Zili sang "Sorrow, Sorrow" last year seemed to be just yesterday, how time flies!
Early on Wednesday morning, the classroom entered a state of relaxation and joy.
There was a lot of discussion everywhere, and Li Chengcheng was collecting class fees and buying fruits and snacks for the party.
As for stereos, VCDs, etc., Wu Di volunteered to provide them.
And the most concerned and anticipated thing is tonight's program list. Who will come on stage to sing what, what to perform, what surprises they can bring to everyone, and so on.
Sun Xiaoyu: "Yang Zili, I have already thought about the show you are going to perform tonight. How about tears behind bars?"
Yang Zili pushed away Sun Xiaoyu who was approaching, covered his ears and said, "Go away, I won't sing anything!"
This joke has been made by the students for a day, and Yang Zili has lost all his old face.
The past is really unbearable.
At this time, Zhao Li approached Wu Tao with great interest and said, "What program are you going to perform today?"
Wu Tao didn't hear it at first, he was immersed in regret and couldn't extricate himself.
During these days, all his thoughts and work revolved around the industrial chain and brand road. As for the technical foundation, it can basically be handed over to the company and Gu Xueli's university research group.
Among them, the industrial chain is advancing smoothly.
In Beijiang City South Development Zone, two Taiwanese joint venture companies, AAC and Ruixian, have already broken ground.
Although the weather was much freezing a few years ago and there was not much progress, but at least it was on the right track.
However, in terms of the strategy of the brand road, something went wrong.
Originally, Wu Tao wanted to win the title of CCTV in 1997, so that the popularity of Lotus mobile phones would last for another year and lay the foundation for branding.
It's a pity that Xiao Zixia only learned after asking that CCTV's annual bidding meeting is scheduled for November 8th of the first year, which is far earlier than the period from New Year's Day to the Lunar New Year that Wu Tao thought.
That is to say, the CCTV bid for 1997 was set as early as November 8, 1996.
In 1997, the CCTV bid king, just like in 1996, was from Qinchi Liquor Industry. The target price is as high as 320 million!
It was an extreme mistake to miss it!
It seems that even if you are a reborn person, you can't be exhaustive.
In desperation, I had to think of other ways to make up for it. After all, the road to branding still has to go.
The Lotus brand must become a well-known trademark in China, and it must be done as soon as possible, the sooner the better.
"Hey... I'm talking to you!" Zhao Li's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Wu Tao came back to his senses and asked.
Zhao Li repeated her words, and Wu Tao said with a smile: "Can I just choose to be a loyal audience?"
"Hmph!" Zhao Li was obviously dissatisfied with the answer, "I'm going to sing a song about courage!"
"Then I will applaud you vigorously!"
The weather turned gloomy in the afternoon, and it became more and more depressing when it came to extracurricular activities.
But none of this stopped the enthusiasm of the students for the New Year's Eve party. Just after dinner, the classroom was full of preparations.
Plastic ceilings and colorful balloons make the monotonous classroom colorful.
On the blackboard, Li Chenggong took a lot of effort to trace the words "New Year's Day Gala of Class 1, Grade 2".
Wu Di led a group of attendants and moved the heavy stereo into the classroom for adjustment. Even Lu Wei, who has always been strict, came here wearing a casual jacket tonight, looking very friendly to the people.
"Wu Tao, there is a show tonight!"
"Yang Zili, you too, keep singing, don't let me down."
The students who heard the voice of the old class all laughed knowingly. Yang Zili grinned bitterly, speechless.
In the evening, the lights come on.
The lights in the classroom look colorful under the decoration of various colored papers.
Everyone formed a double circle, leaving the open space in the middle of the classroom as a stage. There is not a single book on the desk, only melon seeds, peanuts, apples and oranges, simple and warm.
Different from last year, this year the students signed up for the performances, especially enthusiastically.
Presumably because people are familiar with each other, their individuality is boldly displayed.
So at the beginning of the party, there were a dozen or so girls on the stage, one after another, came on stage to sing and even dance.
Of course, only a small number of dancers performed, and most of the girls still sang, which attracted waves of booing from the boys.
It's just that when the girls came to the stage one by one, either singing about courage or Ningxia, the enthusiasm of the boys was immediately consumed.
It wasn't until Zhao Li was the last one to take the stage and performed her courage well that she won a little applause.
Although there is, it is not enthusiastic enough.
What does Lu Wei do when he sees this? The overlap is too high and lacks freshness. Immediately, he said directly: "Aren't the boys ready for a show? Hurry up if there is a show!"
There are very few boys preparing programs, and even fewer actively sign up.
When Lu Wei said this, no one dared to go on stage. So he simply called out his names and said, "Wu Tao, you come first."
He was arrested again.
Wu Tao was also very helpless, but he couldn't escape, so under the watchful eyes of more than forty boys and a dozen girls, he went on stage and sang a song called Beyond.
In his previous life, he sang this song quite often in KTV. The rhythm and rhythm have already penetrated into his bones.
Now that I sang it in the classroom, the tune basically didn't run away, and the incomparably devoted crazy rock energy instantly ignited the atmosphere again.
It is also a long drought and rain.
I am used to listening to the natural sounds of girls, and suddenly there is something bold and rough, which is very fresh and exciting.
Wu Tao stepped off the stage amidst warm applause. In the next program, Lu Wei didn't need to call his name, and the students all booed in unison: "Yang Zili, weeping behind bars. Yang Zili, weeping behind bars..."
Yang Zili came to the stage bitterly, flicked the long cord of the loudspeaker, and frowned, a deep and regretful singing voice flowed out.
"Iron doors, iron windows, iron chains
Hold on to the iron window and look out
What a wonderful life out there..."
I didn't expect him to practice this song! Wu Tao immediately gave him a thumbs up, you won again!
However, this time Yang Zili did not seem to be as competitive as last year, but continued to sing with deep affection.
Many people booed and laughed, but Yang Zili sang affectionately without being affected.
Gradually, everyone stopped, as if they were infected by the emotional singing, or moved by Yang Zili's serious attitude.
When the female voice sang, Yang Zili didn't know how to squeeze the singing voice, and the kind female voice immediately filled the classroom. People who don't know listened to it outside, and really thought it was sung by a girl.
The classroom erupted into warm applause, and Yang Zili became famous once again. With the two songs "Sorrow, Sorrow and Tears behind the Bar", he won the nickname of "King of Prisoner Songs" in one fell swoop...
