The applause reverberated across the moonlit playground.
Barrages of "beautiful" filled the live broadcast room of Mist City Arts and Science University.
Lin Zhirou successfully performed a song under the scrutiny of thousands of on-site students and hundreds of thousands of online audience members.
Next, Lin Zhirou sang an inspirational, positive energy song "Fragrance of Rice," which deeply touched the students of Mist City Arts and Science University.
During the New Year’s Eve Gala.
Aside from Lin Zhirou’s performance which was highly welcomed, many other programs were also of high quality.
Such as the previous magic show.
There was also a dance performance by the Art Department and surprisingly good skits and crosstalk by the Film and Television Department.
The most impressive were the National Arts performance by students from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Studies.
The most unforgettable was Huang Youjie’s touching dance to the music of "Pure Land of Bliss."
Really, his dancing was quite impressive!
In a blink of an eye, it was almost midnight.
Thousands of teachers and students, along with Principal Ding and other school leaders, counted down together under the starry sky.
Audiences in the two live broadcast rooms of Twitter and TikTok were watching Mist City Arts and Science University’s New Year’s Eve Gala, counting down together with the teachers and students.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the sky above the playground, environmentally-friendly fireworks shot up and lit the starry sky with colorful sparks.
Many students took out their mobile phones and snapped photos and videos of the fireworks.
And then blissfully posted them on Twitter.
The teacher of the Drone Application Technology major directed the students to operate the drones.
The buzzing sound rang out.
A total of 101 drones quickly took off and arranged themselves into the number 2020, glowing brightly in the sky.
"Wow, look, what is that?"
A girl expressed her amazement to her best friend, pointing at the drones in the sky.
"Yes, yes, those are drones. Wow, not only is there a firework show at the New Year’s moment, but also a drone performance!"
The students’ attention was first captured by the firework show.
The 2020 formation made by drones attracted them, and they all expressed their admiration.
Soon, the 2020 pattern made by drones gradually turned into 2021.
This signifies the transition from 2020 to 2021 tonight.
"I remember seeing news about drone performances in universities."
"Yeah, I’ve seen that too. I can’t believe our university has it."
"This all costs money!"
"Mist City Arts and Science University is awesome!"
After the drones formed the pattern change from 2020 to 2021, they quickly formed a new pattern.
It was a Chinese character.
The character for "new" appeared.
Followed by the characters "year," "fast" and "happy."
The thousands of students on the playground almost simultaneously shouted out the blessing "Happy New Year!"
Netizens in the live broadcast room of Mist City Arts and Science University were astounded, an New Year’s Eve gala was held with such grandeur.
Not only were there plenty of wonderful performances, but also fireworks displays and drone shows.
Many netizens all sighed in admiration, each remarking that it’s worthy of being a private university to throw such a lavish New Year’s Eve gala.
After the firework show and drone performance ended.
The Mist City Arts and Science University’s New Year’s Eve gala officially came to a wonderful conclusion.
Huang Youjie ordered the logistics and sanitation staff to tidy up the sports field promptly.
Luckily, the overall quality of the students at Mist City Arts and Science University was decent. After an entire New Year’s Eve gala, no garbage was left on the field.
The previous night’s New Year’s Eve gala at Mist City Arts and Science University, due to its wonderful performances and lively live broadcasting, caused a small heat wave the next day.
A lot of students from other universities across the country breathed a sigh of regret when comparing their school’s New Year’s celebration to the New Year’s Eve gala at Mist City Arts and Science University.
Without comparison, there’s no harm, ah!
Of course, there were also some well-known and strong universities that held pretty good New Year’s Eve galas.
Yet, a live broadcast version of "Blue and White Porcelain" sung by Lin Zhirou at Mist City Arts and Science University created quite a buzz.
More and more netizens fell in love with this pop song filled with a strong Xia Country style.
And also that inspirational song "Fragrance of Rice" full of positive energy.
Both these songs currently do not have official versions available on any major music app platforms, only live broadcast versions.
Even though they are live versions, they still have certain flaws.
Compared to recorded and post-edited official versions, netizens would undoubtedly prefer to listen to the best official versions.
Why hasn’t Lin Zhirou uploaded any songs on NetEase Cloud or Penguin Music yet?
"Fragrance of Rice," "Confession Balloon" and "Blue and White Porcelain", Lin Zhirou is already recording all three songs, but because of post-production, the process might take a while.
Plus, Xia Country’s Spring Festival is just around the corner.
So releasing songs during this period seems inappropriate. After discussing with Ding Yue, Lin Zhirou has decided to release the songs officially on the platforms after the new year.
Good wine is never too late.
However, Lin Zhirou often receives emails and phone calls these days, all from various entertainment companies, large and small, well-known and unknown.
But their intentions are the same.
That is to sign Lin Zhirou, the "potential singer".
Countless entertainment companies want to sign young potential singers like Lin Zhirou, then exploit and extract profits, turning Lin Zhirou into their money tree.
However, against all olive branches offered by the companies, Lin Zhirou has turned all of them down.
Because Lin Zhirou has a contract with Feiyue Media, which is under Ding Yue’s Feiyue Group.
Even without a contract, Lin Zhirou knows that she should stay in Ding Yue’s company, instead of being poached by another company.
Ding Yue’s office also received a phone call.
At that moment, Ding Yue was drinking milk tea while reading a physics experiment book.
The office’s landline suddenly rang.
Wen Ruohan quickly answered the phone, and before she could say that she was from the Principal’s office of Mist City Arts and Science University, the person on the line asked first.
"Hello, is this the Principal’s office of Mist City Arts and Science University?"
"That’s correct, this is the Principal’s office of Mist City Arts and Science University, whom am I speaking to?"
"Hi, I’m calling from Mango Entertainment. We would like to discuss signing the student Lin Zhirou."
"Mango Entertainment?! Are you guys really from Mango Entertainment?" Wen Ruohan was quite surprised when she heard that it was from Mango Entertainment.
As Wen Ruohan often watches Mango Entertainment’s variety shows and dramas, and listens to songs from their artists.
Mango Entertainment is one of the top companies in the country.
"Principal Ding, Mango Entertainment is looking for you." Wen Ruohan covered the phone and whispered to Ding Yue.
"They seem to want to discuss signing Lin."
"Oh, I see. You can hang up then."
