Chapter 74 - Conducting the Choir (2/2)

“Good. Now let’s sing it again. This time, as you sing, remember to correct the issues I pointed out earlier.” Xiao Luo returned to the front of the formation, and his eyes bright and focused.

The group subconsciously nodded in acknowledgment, and with a wave of his hand, they started singing again.

The effects were p.r.o.nounced. When they sang this time, it was the most in sync the group had ever been. One listening could indeed get the feeling of rolling waves. The s.h.i.+ft was slight, but it was there.

Huang Ruoran was dumbfounded. She could not believe that Xiao Luo had these kinds of skills. If only she’d let Xiao Luo take the reins earlier, then they would not have wasted their time on so many futile rehearsals.

Chu Yue’s mouth fell open slightly, and she looked at Xiao Luo in disbelief. She had come to see another side of Xiao Luo. She had never recognized anyone as being superior to her. Still, Xiao Luo was the first man whom she saw as her better. From the bottom of her heart, she was filled with admiration for him.

“Brother Luo! Oh my good Brother Luo, you are truly a genius! From your instructions alone, our choir’s standards have been raised to the next level. It seems like that Qiu Liang will really have to go and run around naked. Hahaha!” Zhu Xiaofei guffawed,

“Stop licking Brother Luo’s boots!” Ding Kai shot back righteously. “Is Brother Luo a genius? Of course not. There’s no way he is a genius.”

Just when everyone was wondering why Ding Kai was trying to put down Xiao Luo, he reversed the tide unexpectedly. He spoke with awe, “Brother Luo is a G.o.d among men, and he can do anything. Only the t.i.tle of ‘G.o.d’ is appropriate for Brother Luo.”

t.i.tle of ‘G.o.d,’ your mom!

All the girls cla.s.s cursed him silently.

Zhu Xiaofei immediately retorted angrily, “Get out of here! You call me a boot-licker, then turn around and start kissing his a*s. It looks like I should start calling you ‘Kiss-a*s Ding’ instead of Kaizi.”

“Pfft!”

The girls were amused by this exchange and could not hold back their laughter.

Huang Ruoran clapped her hands together to quiet everyone down. “Okay, okay, stop messing around and listen to what Xiao Luo has to say.”

The cla.s.s monitor’s authority quickly silenced the room.

Xiao Luo gathered his thoughts then said, “Singing in harmony as a group is only the first step. The next step is singing in a round. We will sing the four ‘defend together’ parts in a round with the ‘wind is howling.’ It’s straightforward, and the back row just needs to start singing one bar after the front row starts. Let’s try it now.”

My G.o.d, how many tricks did Xiao Luo have up his sleeve?

The girls looked at Xiao Luo with respect.

After they tried singing in a round, Xiao Luo was satisfied. “Every choir needs a conductor, but to perform ‘Yellow River,’ we also need a narrator.”

“Hero Luo, what’s a narrator?” An Huanhuan asked curiously.

“Before we all start singing, the narrator has a monologue to help the audience to understand the meaning of ‘Yellow River,'” Xiao Luo explained. “How about this. I’ve decided to make Huang Ruoran the conductor. She has a natural air of authority that can command everybody’s attention, so the role is perfect for her. As for the narrator, I think Chu Yue should do it. A narrator needs to be pa.s.sionate and expressive to excite the listeners, and her voice has these qualities.”
