Rose Manor

After breakfast, Shen Jianian went to Yan Qiusheng's villa to share the good news with him and asked him to help select the songs to be played on the show.

Yan Qiusheng knew the result early in the morning and did not show any surprise. He just smiled and said congratulations to her.

Based on her personal situation, he helped select several pieces of music and asked her to play them live. Finally, he selected a piece to be performed and reported it to Director Liao.

The whole morning passed like this.

At [-]:[-], the live-in nanny prepared lunch and brought the dishes to the dining table one by one.

Yan's mother went to the piano room to ask them to eat.

Shen Jianian took her bag and went to the bathroom first. She took out the sanitary napkins she had packed in the morning and was about to put them on when she found that the one she had used before was clean.

Except for a moment last night, she didn't feel the pain in her lower abdomen that she had during her period this morning.

Shen Jia Nian washed his hands and went to the restaurant to eat.

Just as she started eating, she received a reply from Director Liao, who sent a voice message.

There was no one else present, so Shen Jianian clicked on it directly, and Director Liao's voice came: "OK, I received it. There may be a rehearsal next week. I will inform you of the specific time later, so be mentally prepared."

Shen Jianian put his chopsticks on the chopstick holder, holding the phone in both hands and typing a response seriously.

Yan's mother served a bowl of soup to each of the three people. She happened to see Shen Jia Nian put away his phone after sending the message, and asked with a chuckle: "Is Jia Nian going to participate in the show?"

Shen Jianian held the edge of the bowl with one hand, curved her lips and smiled reservedly: "Yes." She looked at Yan Qiusheng, her words full of gratitude, "Speaking of which, I have to thank the teacher for helping me fight for the opportunity."

Yan Qiusheng smiled at her.

"He is your teacher, and he should help his students fight for opportunities." Yan's mother said angrily.

Shen Jianian didn't answer, just smiled. It was obvious that he was really happy.

Yan's mother asked again: "When will the performance be performed? If nothing happens then, I will go over and have a look. It has been a long time since I went out to relax."

Yan Qiusheng raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and looked up at his mother: "Are you going to see a show?"

Yan's mother looked at him: "Is there a problem?"

Yan Qiusheng: "No."

Since starting chemotherapy, my mother has been reluctant to go out. She originally chose to live here because the environment was quiet and conducive to her recuperation, and to take care of her resistance to interacting with other people.

Except for going to the hospital for a physical check-up at a fixed time every week, she spent the rest of the time in the villa raising flowers and vegetables, and never asked to go to the movies or go to the supermarket.

This time, Yan Qiusheng took the initiative to say that he would go to a crowded place to watch a performance. Of course, Yan Qiusheng was surprised.

Shen Jianian's eyes moved back and forth between mother and son, and he said to Yan's mother with a smile: "We are not sure yet. I will tell you when there is news. I will definitely give you and the teacher the best viewing position."

Yan's mother smiled broadly: "That's good."

Shen Jianian was busy practicing the piano every day, and had no extra thoughts to worry about the sudden arrival of her period and her inexplicable running away. In the blink of an eye, the day of rehearsal arrived.

The driver drove her to the Grand Theater and was stopped by the security guard at the door.

Shen Jianian called Director Liao and said that he had arrived but could not get in.

After waiting for about 3 minutes, a staff member came out to pick her up.

It was a young man, wearing a blue and white plaid shirt, a black vest, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. When he saw Shen Jianian, he stayed for a few seconds and handed her a work permit with red ears. Tangled with rope.

"Teacher Shen, here's your ID." The young man was a little embarrassed to look at her, "You can come in directly with your ID in the future."

"Okay, thank you." Shen Jia Nian took it with both hands and said casually, "Don't call me Teacher Shen. I'm probably about the same age as you, just call me Shen Jia Nian." In the circle, no matter what age, behind the scenes It has almost become the default rule in the industry that the people in front of the stage are collectively called "teachers".

The young man was stunned. He was embarrassed to call her by her name and didn't know how to address her. He simply raised his hand and said, "Please come in."

The door of the concert hall in the south of the Grand Theater is open, and the people in front of and behind the stage are performing their duties and making various preparations intensively.

Shen Jianian carried the cello on his back and was led to Director Liao by the staff.

Liao Kai stared at the monitor intently and picked up the loudspeaker at hand to adjust the scene: "The lighting in the north area is not good. What I want is the effect of stars in the sky. That area is too dark. Please add more small lights. Stage The ribbon above should be longer. If it’s too short, it won’t be elegant enough. Be careful not to make it too neat. It’s well-proportioned. Do you understand—”

Shen Jianian stood at the edge, waiting for him to finish shouting, and then said hello: "Director Liao."

Liao Kai turned around and saw her coming, put down the loudspeaker, picked up the space cup and took a sip of tea: "I'll go up from the backstage later and take a look at the overall effect first. I'll tell you what needs to be adjusted later."

"Okay." Shen Jia Nian obediently went backstage.

Today was the rehearsal, so there was no need to change into a dress. She was wearing her own clothes, a matte pink silk dupatta sleeveless long skirt under the windbreaker.

The heating was turned on both in the hall and backstage. Shen Jianian took off his coat and hung it on the floor-standing clothes rack. He opened the piano case and took out the cello.

The backstage was a little noisy, but somehow it slowly became quiet, and everyone looked at Shen Jianian.

For those who don't pay attention to entertainment gossip, the first time they saw her was in Liao Dafa's video. She was wearing a simple white sweater and straight jeans, with long hair loose and light makeup, which was already shocking enough.

Looking at her up close now, the young girl's hair is half pulled up. She is wearing a long skirt that outlines her slender and graceful figure. Her earlobes are dotted with diamond earrings. Her makeup is slightly more refined than in the video. She is elegant and graceful. Without losing the coolness, it is just like what netizens described, like a god descending from the earth.

When Shen Jia Nian saw everyone's eyes coming together, he thought that he had to work together and couldn't ignore them. He smiled and greeted them politely: "Hello."

When she smiles, her features are picturesque, just like the spring breeze blowing on her face.

Everyone was stunned, and it took a moment before they remembered to respond, saying "hello" one after another.

"Director Liao is urging you, are you ready?" The staff member who led Shen Jianian in came over and informed.

While everyone was sighing that they had a feast for their eyes today, they were busy with the work at hand.

It was Shen Jianian's turn to take the stage. She easily picked up the heavy cello with her thin arms, held the bow in her other hand, and walked calmly to the center of the stage.

The surrounding lights were dimmed to the lowest level, leaving only the starry sky above.

It seems to confirm the name of this show - "Shining Starlight".

Shen Jianian was sitting on a chair, and a spotlight lit up and shrouded her body.

The bow is like a magic wand in her hand, and the first note pours out, like silky satin or flowing water in a mountain stream, giving people a dual visual and auditory enjoyment.

Liao Kai looked at her from behind the monitor, his eyes lit up little by little by her wonderful performance.

This was just a rehearsal. She didn't wear formal costumes, and the lighting on the stage didn't meet his standards. The overall effect was beyond his expectation.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Shen Jia Nian was born for the stage.

At the end of the rehearsal, Liao Kai raised his head from behind the monitor and made an OK gesture to Shen Jianian on the stage, indicating that she had no problem and that she would just follow this standard when the show was officially recorded.

Shen Jianian curled his lips and smiled in relief, returned to the backstage and put the cello into its case.

Suddenly, a panicked female voice reminded her: "Teacher Shen, be careful!"

Shen Jia Nian straightened up, but before she could completely turn her head, a heavy shadow hit her. She subconsciously turned sideways to avoid it, but it was too late.

Everyone watched helplessly as the huge lighting lamp fell in the direction of Shen Jianian. Some people were so frightened that their breathing stopped and they covered their mouths with their hands, not daring to imagine the consequences of such a large lamp hitting them.
