No one knows how long the overwhelming applause lasted. People all gave their greatest support and recognition to this piece and the actors on stage from the bottom of their hearts.
On the stage, Wanrou was so excited that tears filled her eyes. All the hard work she had put in before finally paid off today. Without the solid foundation of long-term practice, she would never have been able to grasp the encouragement so accurately in just two days. .
Of course, the most grateful person is Jiang Xingchen, who gave his dreams wings and started to fly.
After bowing several times to the audience, Wanrou, who couldn't control herself, suddenly turned around, hugged Jiang Xingchen, and patted his back hard twice with her right hand.
This time, the applause from the audience was even more enthusiastic, and there were even a few strange screams.
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then he gently put his hands around Wanrou's shoulders and patted her twice. The meaning of this hug could be seen by everyone in the room. If he was at a loss, he would be a little timid.
However, his arms seemed to be wrapped around each other, but they did not touch Wanrou, and he was not in the mood to feel any touch. His eyes had already slipped to the audience. As expected, he saw Mo Hongxian gritting his teeth as if to kill someone. look.
At this time, Meier also puffed up her little mouth, with an unhappy expression on her face. For some reason, she knew that Sister Wanrou was just too happy to control herself, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
But fortunately, the two of them only touched each other for a moment before they separated, turned around and bowed to the audience at the same time. Meier's mood was quickly replaced by joy and excitement.
The six soldiers on the stage also followed Jiang Xingchen and thanked the audience. The extremely excited mood could be seen from their red faces.
Originally, these people came here with the intention of risking their lives, but they never expected to receive such high recognition. Especially when they saw the envious eyes of the soldiers in the audience and the nodding praises of several army commanders, they felt like they were exposed to the sun in winter. Under the warm sun, my whole body feels indescribably comfortable.
At this time, they have even thought about what kind of envy and praise they will receive when they return to the army after this performance spreads.
In the end, several judges from the Imperial Academy stepped onto the stage together and pressed their hands downwards, thus completely suppressing the applause.
After brewing for a long time, an older judge at the front said: "We can't judge this song "Men Should Be Strong"..."
"Ah?" The whole audience was stunned. Such a piece must be excellent, so why can't it be judged?
"Is there a shady story?" Many people in the venue, especially the soldiers, suddenly felt dissatisfied. This song that resonated in their hearts was like their favorite thing, which could be shared and recognized by more people. , but it must not be buried or slandered.
However, before their dissatisfaction turned into anger, the judge continued: "Because this piece of music can be said to be unprecedented, we feel that an excellent judge is simply not enough to match its excellence and impact... However, What is certain is that this piece will definitely be included in the New Year song and dance performance in the Imperial Capital!"
"Nah! You just said that the song was the winner. You had to say something that cannot be judged. You are deliberately teasing us..." Countless viewers complained in their hearts.
Jiang Xingchen and Wanrou on the stage were also cursing in their hearts at this moment: "Old man, if you have something to say, you can't finish it in one breath, you have to take a big breath!"
The first sentence of the review just now really scared them to death. If they were really defeated, Wanrou would probably not be able to bear the feeling of falling from the clouds to the deep valley.
Even Dingbei Hou and Tang Chuxue in the audience had the urge to rush up and knock the old man down with one punch, and then kick him a few times.
The judge suddenly shuddered and looked around in confusion: "It's strange, why do I feel a chill down my spine all of a sudden!"
Shaking his head in confusion, the judges thought for a moment again and then said: "The new format of this performance and the new instruments are of great significance to the development of singing and dancing. We will go to the Empire to ask for credit from the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe!"
"Wow~" The scene was in an uproar. Both nobles and commoners knew what merit and contribution meant, and their eyes on the stage became even more eager. The song just now echoed in the ears again, and the inspiring theme came from the performers themselves.
The best interpretation came from the body, which once again inspired the fighting spirit in the hearts of the audience.
"You see! There is a future for men who practice singing and dancing! As long as you work hard, you will definitely become a noble in the future!" Countless civilians whispered to the children around them.
"Look carefully, that is your role model!" The nobleman also taught the child more.
"Have you noticed, that boy is so handsome..." A noble woman's eyes were filled with stars.
In the front row, Marquis Dingbei showed a pleased smile. It is conceivable that after this performance, Wanrou's noble rank will be upgraded. This is exactly the result she has always wanted, and now it has finally come true.
Mo Hongxian, the second brother, the fourth brother, Zhao Danqing, and Sun Sanqiang stared at Jiang Xingchen, and the same voice flashed in their minds: "Is there anyone else who can't do this kid..."
One after another, there are secret food recipes, new ways to treat wounds, sutures that can be absorbed by muscles, not to mention toothbrushes, and now a new musical instrument like the bass drum has been invented, and a repertoire that subverts tradition has been created... in just a short time
In more than twenty days, he has come up with so many things, and every time he comes up with something, he can make great progress.
"The only thing I can compare to this kid is probably my martial arts!" The second brother's tone couldn't help but bring out a sour taste.
Just as Sun Sanqiang was about to talk, he suddenly remembered Jiang Xingchen's dazzling knife skills when he dismembered the rabbit, and he couldn't help but grinned and said nothing.
Mei'er on the side was biting her lower lip tightly, and the corner of her clothes was gripped by her like a handkerchief that had been wrung out of water. If this credit is truly earned, the territory can be regained.
The few soldiers on the stage were so happy that they almost fainted. They didn't have a share in the big drum, but they participated in the performance of this piece. In other words, it was a completely new performance form, and they also had a share of the credit.
"Noble! It is possible to become a noble!" Several soldiers stood on the stage blankly, repeating this sentence in their minds, with silly smiles on their lips.
The eyes of the soldiers in the audience turned blue: "What the hell are these boys so lucky to have such a good thing happen to... Why not me..."
Just when everyone was envious of Jiang Xingchen, a bigger impact hit everyone's chest like a wave.
Marquis Dingbei stepped onto the stage, announced on the spot that Jiang Xingchen had been awarded the title of third-class baron, and handed a brand new identity card into his hands.
"Is this a weird situation?" Everyone was shocked.
If the request for merit from the Imperial College just now was still within the tolerance of everyone's heart, then the reward at this time was like a huge mountain slamming down, making everyone confused.
"Jiang Xingchen has made great contributions to Hongyuan City and the empire before. He was directly promoted from a nobleman to a third-class baron!" Marquis Dingbei explained loudly.
According to the original plan, the nobility awards were to be given out after the entire pre-selection was over, together with several students from the Imperial Academy who were awarded nobility. But in this situation, it is obvious that the awards at this time can stimulate people's fighting spirit and have a better effect!
"What kind of contribution is it to jump directly from the lowest noble to a third-class baron? Apart from the founding period, this has never happened in the history of the empire!"
"There must be more than one contribution. I just took the opportunity to announce it today!" A slightly smarter person thought of this possibility.
"More than one contribution, God! What has this Jiang Xingchen done? Judging from his age, he must be in his teens!"
"None of this is important. The important thing is that his status as a third-class baron was not obtained through cultivation at all...I went to work in other industries, and there is actually a better future than cultivation!"
"I can do this in the future, and it's not too late to work hard now. Although I don't have the talent to practice, and my family's resources will not favor me! But I can also be successful in other industries. The best example is right in front of me..."
"That's right! I have always been interested in dance music. In the future, I will also specialize in singing and dancing..."
"I should also help my father share the family business..."
Seeing Jiang Xingchen's successful life, and the lingering impression of "Men Should Be Self-Strengthening" that has not yet dissipated, the blood of those nobles surged, and their ambitions were raised again and again.
However, this is not the end yet. Marquis Dingbei is destined to detonate today's preliminary meeting.
"In twenty days, Jiang Xingchen completed the transformation from a commoner to a noble! Twenty days ago, he was still living in a common area, renting a house with two copper coins a day and a leaky house... However, he only grasped
One chance brought me to what I am today!"
"The third-class baron, but the contribution he made before today does not include the invention of new musical instruments... Therefore, I decided to give Jiang Xingchen another reward of the enfeoffed territory!"
"Boom~" It was like a nest exploded, and the whole place was in chaos and noisy.
Today they came to watch a song and dance performance, but unexpectedly, they experienced a baptism in their hearts. From laughing at Jiang Xingchen at first, to being surprised later, to being inspired and resonating, and then showing off their merits and awarding them with awards.
Now the territory has been divided again. Wave after wave of impact caused the emotions of these viewers to fluctuate violently, reaching the peak again at this time.
In their eyes, Jiang Xingchen has become a model, role model, and goal!
Some girls looked at Jiang Xingchen with wolf-like eyes at this time, even the girls from other song and dance groups backstage. Who wouldn't want to take action on a boy with such a promising future?
Not to mention the civilians, their eyes have turned to admiration, and Jiang Xingchen will be talked about by them for a long time from now on.
"You must be like Jiang Xingchen in the future!" This is the sentence they teach their children most.
At this time, Jiang Xingchen was also filled with joy. His goal of returning to the territory was finally achieved. Although the Marquis did not say that he would choose it himself, but at this time, he personally awarded the reward in front of tens of thousands of people, and the meaning was very clear!
Taking a step forward, Jiang Xingchen bowed deeply: "Third Baron Jiang Xingchen, thank you for the reward, Lord Marquis!"
