At six o'clock in the evening on February 28th, in Shanghai, outside the hotel where the Golden Melody Awards were held.

The 100-meter-long red carpet was filled with bright stars. Fans who came from thousands of miles away surrounded the Avenue of Stars.

One after another, well-dressed celebrity singers walked onto the red carpet, signed on the signature wall, and then posed in various poses for media reporters to take photos, and from time to time they had to answer some questions.

Zhang Jin and Qiu Ya did not receive such treatment, so they could only sneak into the hotel quietly from the side.

Because Qiu Ya was invited to play piano music, a staff member from the organizer came to receive her soon after entering the hotel, and took the two of them to the backstage to make some arrangements for the process.

While Qiu Ya was communicating with the staff, Zhang Jin sneaked out from the backstage and went to the corridor outside, looking through the floor-to-ceiling glass at the darkening night outside.

Opposite is the Bund, and diagonally ahead is the Oriental Pearl Tower. The lights are on and the neon lights are flashing. It's so beautiful!

There is not much difference between the Magic City twenty years ago and twenty years later, except that the beauty has changed from the beauties to the beauties in costumes.

On the way here, he received the latest news about Ma Dongmei's training at the IMG Academy in the United States. Unexpectedly, she signed up to participate in a Florida State Cup invitational tournament, which is said to be a well-known tennis event in the United States.

Ma Dongmei participated in two events in this invitational tournament, namely women's singles and women's doubles.

In the first round of the women's singles, after she lost the first set and was given a match point in the second set, she relied on her tenacious spirit to continuously win 7:5, 8:6, 9:7, 6 in the second set.

:4, won four games in a row, and won the second set 7:5 in the long game system.

Ma Dongmei became more and more courageous as she fought, and pursued the victory. In the third set, she won the game with a winning score of 6 to 1, eliminated her opponent, and successfully entered the second round.

Unfortunately, Ma Dongmei's women's singles performance only stopped in the second round. Although she still had a tenacious style, she still lost to her opponent 2-1.

Although the women's singles performance was average, Ma Dongmei reached the semifinals in the women's doubles before losing to the champion pair.

Ma Dongmei earned more than 10,000 US dollars as a result. She originally wanted to transfer it to Zhang Jin for early repayment, but was rejected.

Zhang Jin asked Ma Dongmei to keep part of the money for herself, and then remit the rest to her mother in Xihong City, so that her mother could rest assured and prove that she was taking the right path. She would not only bring glory to the country, but also make money for her family.

Through the training and experience of this invitational competition, Ma Dongmei realized her own level and understood that if she wanted to improve herself quickly, she must not only train hard, but also participate in more competitions. The pressure of competitions will always be something that training cannot bring to her.

A great motivation for her to grow!

This also made her more determined in her plans and goals this year, which is to participate in the upcoming Miami Masters, which is the level of the WTA Crown Pearl Tournament. As a person with no professional competition experience, she can only play in the qualifying rounds with a wild card.

, only after passing the lottery can you get the lottery, and only after you get the lottery can you have the opportunity to participate in the competition.

There are 96 lottery spots for men's and women's singles in the Miami Masters, and there are two to three hundred wild card contenders alone. Including players with world ranking points, a total of three to four hundred people are competing for these 96 lottery spots. In this period,

One can imagine the intensity of competition.

Not only Ma Dongmei will participate, but her next-door neighbor Isbella will also participate because her parents are coming to watch the game.

"What are you doing here?" Qiu Ya's voice came from behind.

Zhang Jin turned around and smiled: "Ma Dongmei's development in the United States is getting smoother and smoother, and she can participate in the WTA's crown jewel event. I think it won't be long before she becomes a famous Chinese female tennis player."

"Really? You should really be happy for her!" Qiu Ya said with a surprised smile.

Zhang Jin wanted to say something, but suddenly several people rushed out from the side and ran quickly towards the hotel door. They kept hearing the surprise of seeing the idol singer.

"Hurry up, I heard Charlotte is coming!"

"Ahhh! I am his fan, and I am changing my class this time just to get his autograph!"

"Me too. I even sold his CD album. I hope he can sign it!"

Zhang Jin and Qiu Ya watched these enthusiastic hotel staff leave, and then looked at each other and smiled.

"Charlotte has only made her debut two years ago, and she's already so popular!" Qiu Ya couldn't help laughing.

"Should we also go to the door to greet this big star classmate?" Zhang Jin said.

Qiu Ya thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Let's forget it, there are so many reporters outside."

Zhang Jin saw through her thoughts: "Are you afraid that Xia Luo will cause something unexpected?"

"Aren't you afraid?" Qiu Ya asked.

"I'm not afraid."

"Why?"

"Xia Luo has been in the entertainment industry for two years. He should know what to say on what occasion. With so many peers and reporters watching, even if something happens at the Golden Melody Awards, it won't be too obvious," Zhang Jin said.

.

Even if Charlotte is a fool, he should know that he cannot affect his own stardom. Under this general premise, it is impossible for him to do things as casually as he did in school. Similarly, as long as he does things, his influence will not be limited to

in school.

Zhang Jin is not afraid that Qiu Ya will be snatched away from him by Xia Luo. In the past two years, Qiu Ya is no longer the same person as before. If Xia Luo still treats her with the old eyes, there will be no chance.

What's more, with him here, Charlotte's tricks will definitely be exposed and dismantled by him without mercy, and he will definitely not be able to achieve the desired effect.

The only thing he is worried about is that Charlotte will have a negative impact on Qiu Ya, who has not yet officially debuted. Once the public cares about your gossip, the praise for your strength will be greatly reduced.

No matter how much everyone appreciates the powerful, no one will refuse easily when faced with matters such as appearance, gossip, etc. After all, everyone has a love for beauty, and eating melons is what you and I want.

"Come on, come with me to the backstage and play again the music that will be played later." Qiu Ya held his hand and smiled.

"Okay." Zhang Jin followed her obediently and walked backstage.

The entire starlight red carpet lasted until seven o'clock, and almost all the star singers had already entered the awards ceremony.

In the huge venue, if you look around, you can see that the rows of seats are almost full of celebrities, veteran singers and popular niches, kings and queens, all gathered together, dressed up, and the stars are shining brightly!

"Hey, sister, long time no see. Don't laugh at me. If you hadn't supported me, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today!"

"Hey, isn't this Sister Han? If only I could have a chance to cooperate with you!"

"...Teacher Liu, you are my idol. I have loved listening to your songs since I was a child!"

"Oh, King Guo, is the song I gave you last time okay? Yes, it's just Happy Worship. You like it, right? Just like it, I'll give it to you!"

"Ting Feng, didn't you ask me to sing a song when we were on the show last time? I have already written it for your manager. Have you heard it? Yes, I have to love you. You're welcome, you're welcome.

You have always been a singer and star that I admire very much. I think in terms of appearance, you are the only one among my peers who is on the same level as me."

Along the way, Charlotte was surrounded by acquaintances in all directions. He kept saying hello and all sorts of pleasantries. The short distance of ten meters from the door to his seat took almost twenty minutes.

After finally exchanging greetings with everyone, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief as she sat down in her seat. Dealing with people in the entertainment industry was really tiring. Her current agent was too mediocre, and she was never very satisfied.

At 7:15, the host came on stage, the lights suddenly dimmed, and the Golden Melody Awards ceremony officially began.

"We welcome all star singers from across the Taiwan Strait and three places to attend this year's 23rd Golden Melody Awards Gala..."

The female host talked a lot and finally led to the opening performance.

"Let us welcome pianist Qiu Ya to bring you a beautiful piano solo "do you", please Qiu Ya!"

Although the star singers in the audience didn't know who Qiu Ya was, they all knew that someone who could perform a piano solo on such an occasion must have an unusual background, so they were not stingy with their applause.

"Qiu Ya?! Where is it? Where is it!"

Charlotte was sitting in her seat, secretly thinking about the next new album, when she suddenly heard a familiar name and raised her head in surprise.

"Brother, on the stage, look over there." Assistant Zhang Yang quickly pointed out the direction to him diligently.

Everyone is in the same class, and Zhang Yang understands Xia Luo's feelings for Qiu Ya, but it's a pity that Qiu Ya was beaten first by Zhang Jin.

"Get out of the way, don't block me from seeing Qiu Ya!" Xia Luo suddenly pushed Zhang Yang's hand away and looked at the stage with wide eyes.

I saw a ray of light cast from above. In the beam, a slender figure wearing a sea-blue close-fitting evening gown slowly walked towards the grand piano on the round platform. The accessories on the clothes reflected the shining light. Against the backdrop of the exquisite evening gown, she

The whole person looks like a mermaid from the deep sea.

"Beautiful! So beautiful! We haven't seen each other for more than a year. The youthfulness of high school has faded away, and I am becoming more and more feminine! This temperament, this figure, this look, so amazing!" Charlotte was stunned and murmured to herself.

Words.

Zhang Yang nodded and agreed, "Isn't that right..."

Charlotte suddenly gave him a slap on the head: "Didn't you say before that Qiu Ya went to study in England? Why are you here again now? I don't know when she returned to China. Why didn't you tell me?"

Zhang Yang was also a little helpless: "Brother, I can find out that Qiu Ya is studying abroad, but how can I possibly find out when she will return to China? I don't know anyone in the UK."

"It's so useless! Go and help me find out whether Qiu Ya came alone or with Zhang Jin?"

"Okay, brother, keep it with me." After Zhang Yang said that, he walked away in a hurry.

While the two were talking, Qiu Ya had already sat down in front of the piano and started playing the first note.

The song "Do You" was written to her by Zhang Jin during the winter vacation of her senior year of high school. After playing it hundreds of times, Qiu Ya has become so proficient that she can complete it even with her eyes closed.

Moreover, he has made great progress in the past two years, and his emotions are also stable and sweet. When she plays this piece of music, she is not only precise and smooth, but also allows the audience to hear the emotions contained in the notes of the piece.

The star singers present all have their own attainments in music and art. A layman can watch the excitement, and an expert can watch the door. As soon as the piano sounded, it immediately caught everyone's ears, and soon they were all deeply impressed.

Deeply attracted!

A piano piece of about four minutes is neither long nor short. When the last note dissipated in the air, the scene became quiet. It seemed that no one wanted to disturb this rare tranquility and beauty!

Qiu Ya calmed down her somewhat emotional mood, stood up and bowed slightly to the audience to thank her.

At this time, the host who saw her movements reacted as if waking up from a dream, and while quickly walking on stage, he cleverly resolved the awkwardness of the silence: "It sounds so good, it's really, so wonderful! I almost forgot about myself.

As the host, I believe the reason why the audience is so quiet is because everyone is as shocked as me, right?"

Before the host finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause!
