Chapter 493
On the podium, Li Ran first gave a 10-minute opening speech, mainly introducing the situation and teaching strength of the New Future Tutoring School.
She used to be a news worker for a big newspaper, this kind of thing can be said to be handy, the speech is not rigid, but mixed with current events from time to time, appearing very vivid and humorous, and there were bursts of laughter from the audience every once in a while.
After the opening speech, Li Ran made a "shh" sound with her index finger, and after the scene of more than 8,000 people quieted down, she asked: "I suppose everyone has heard the name Li Heng, right?"
Someone in the audience asked loudly: "Is it the legendary musician reported by the news broadcast?"
Li Ran nodded: "Yes, it's him, have you heard of it?"
Another person said: "Not only heard of it, I also bought his pure music album, and I have to listen to it for half an hour before going to bed every day."
Li Ran sent a thumbs up from afar and smiled: "Today this legendary musician has come to the scene, do you want to hear him play a piece?"
"Ah?" Hearing this, the scene was full of ah sounds, 8,000 people were instantly restless, looking around in different directions, but didn't see a shadow.
Didn't find it, someone asked anxiously: "Where?"
Li Ran took the lead in clapping, and said in a seductive tone: "As long as everyone's applause is enthusiastic enough, he will appear."
The people below were half-believing, but still followed the applause, but the effect was not ideal, sparse from front to back, not very neat.
However, the moment Li Heng walked out of the classroom with the erhu, it immediately ushered in a turning point.
I don't know who had sharp eyes and shouted "Wow! It's really Li Heng! He was on the Spring Festival Gala, I recognize him", the atmosphere at the scene changed suddenly, the people in the front stretched their necks, everyone was looking forward to it.
Half of the people in the back were even more straightforward, all stood up, excited to the point of blushing, just to see Li Heng's true face.
This era is not like later generations, there is no mobile phone and network, it is extremely difficult to see big stars, not to mention that Li Heng is exploding red right now, not to mention that he was officially reported by the official media with the identity of "legendary musician", the influence is very large, he almost became a national idol overnight.
"It's really Li Heng! It's really Li Heng!" A girl in the front row excitedly hugged her best friend beside her, this emotion instantly infected the people around.
Looking at Li Heng, who was polite and had a rich literary temperament on the stage, after a very short silence at the scene, the applause erupted from all directions, instantly resounding through the clouds, almost lifting the primary school.
Too enthusiastic!
Everyone is too excited!
The trial class is fine, didn't expect to see the "music genius" publicly certified by Master Wu Yili.
Speaking of music genius, it's like this.
Two days ago, Master Wu Yili participated in a dinner party, and reporters and media couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Wu, Li Heng, who has risen recently, released a pure music album, have you heard it?"
Wu Yili smiled and nodded: "Yes, a friend drove to send the album to my house, strongly recommended me to listen to it."
The reporter asked curiously: "Then after listening, how do you feel? Any evaluation?"
Wu Yili thought for a while and said seriously: "Evaluation? There are many praises in the newspapers, but I think those are far from enough. This might be the first world-class music master in China, I respect him very much."
The reporter was surprised, didn't expect Teacher Wu to praise him so much, and asked again: "The pure music album has a total of 10 pieces, which one do you like best?"
Wu Yili said sincerely: "Every piece of his music is good to listen to, every one is an immortal classic, I have listened to them repeatedly."
This interview report is very short, but after the news came out, it quickly set off a new round of public opinion storm, hundreds and thousands of media newspapers across the country reprinted it for the first time.
Even the media sought verification from Wu Yili afterward, asking if the news content was true?
Didn't expect Wu Yili to give Li Heng another advertisement: "This morning, the first thing I did when I got up was drink morning tea and listen to Li Heng's pure music. I feel this is what life should look like."
Listen! Listen!
The music world tycoon Wu Yili, who is decades old, is almost becoming a fan girl, Li Heng's fame exploded again, his popularity climbed to a new level, he was in the limelight for a time, and became the idol of many young people.
Let me ask you, such an awesome existence, but came to the trial class scene today?
How can everyone not be excited?
The palms were clapped red, but it was not enough to express their excitement!
In a burst of enthusiastic cheers, Li Heng smiled, waved to everyone, and then said briefly to the microphone:
"Hello everyone, I am Li Heng. Today I will play 'The Street Where the Wind Lives' for everyone, I hope everyone likes it."
In this fanatical atmosphere, he doesn't need to say much, saying more will not have such a high forced style. Marketing, mystery is the most expectant.
Look, just one sentence, the audience was surging again, cheers and applause intertwined. Those who know, this is a trial class; those who don't know, thought it was a music concert.
Facing everyone sitting quietly for 20 seconds, after brewing good emotions, Li Heng's right hand pulled the string and moved, instantly segments of wonderful notes came out, blowing into everyone's ears like the wind.
Instantly, the 8,000-plus people quieted down.
11 teachers appeared on the right side of the podium in unison, looking at this big boss with novel eyes.
Yu Shuheng scanned the scene, scanned Li Ran and Yang Yingwen, and finally her eyes fell on Li Heng, the inexplicable emotion in her eyes flashed and disappeared.
This little boy, the more she looks at him, the more she loves him, the more she wants to get him.
However, looking at it, Yu Shuheng seemed to see clues from Li Heng's form: Who is this little boy thinking of?
Is it thinking of Zhou Shihe?
In the past, "The Street Where the Wind Lives" was completed by Li Heng and Zhou Shihe together, every time they played this piece, the two would look at each other and establish spiritual resonance.
Yu Shuheng had seen all of this quietly in the past.
Just didn't expect that today when the little boy played alone, he would also fall into that state, which made her frown.
Looking at him, Yu Shuheng understood: Now the little boy should not have realized this, or has been suppressing his feelings for Zhou Shihe, if one day quantitative change causes qualitative change, when he wakes up after accumulating to a certain extent, and pursues Zhou Shihe regardless of everything, that is the most difficult time for herself.
Thoughts turned, the scene ushered in waves of applause like a mountain and sea again, Yu Shuheng came back to her senses, it turned out that one piece was finished.
Li Ran took over the scene again and asked everyone: "Is it good to listen to?"
The audience shouted from the bottom of their hearts: "Good to listen to!"
Li Ran said: "It's just a pity that today's audio equipment is incomplete, otherwise the effect would be better. But do you know who he is?"
The audience was confused?
Isn't he Li Heng?
Who else could it be?
At this time, a No. 1 plant stood up and asked cooperatively: "Who is it?"
Li Ran smiled and used one sentence to clear up doubts for everyone: "Mr. Li Heng is the founder of this school, he is our boss."
"Ah?"
"What?"
"Li Heng is the boss of New Future School?"
In the blink of an eye, the bottom was noisy, whispering to each other, all unbelievable?
Someone said: "So young and became a boss?"
Someone said passionately: "It doesn't matter if it's good to listen to, I'll go back and tell my best friend that I'm learning English at my idol's school."
Letting the people below play freely for a minute, Li Ran made up a story and said: "
Mr. Li founded this New Future Tutoring School because a friend of his failed to go abroad to study three times because his English didn't pass, he suddenly felt that he should do something?
Mr. Li said, the current society is in a period of unprecedented great change, it is a period of great opportunity, our generation of young people should not be confused about the future, should be full of hope and vitality..."
Li Ran talked eloquently, bragging about Li Heng, establishing a three-good youth character of patriotism, loving life, and having great ideals and goals for him.
Li Heng was speechless, this girl is really good at bragging, almost catching up with the second sister.
However, seeing that the effect at the scene was good, he was relieved, didn't care, thinking in his heart: if the emotional life explodes in the future, how should I deal with it? Where should I hide?
Later, he felt that, hide a chicken, hide! As long as his strength is strong, strong enough to be respected by the world, then everything is not a problem. Even if he doesn't explain anything, there will be great Confucians to argue for him.
Strength!
Everything is strength! He is now infinitely eager for strength.
After Li Ran's chicken soup, the trial class entered the first theme, Teacher He Wen from Beihang University talks about the introduction of the process of going abroad.
Even in the network era where information is easy to obtain, wanting to check every detail of going abroad, what materials to prepare, what procedures to have, what qualifications to have, etc., is also a very cumbersome thing.
Teacher He Wen applied to study abroad three times, each time it was the last step, but failed at the last moment, it can be said that he is experienced, opening his mouth is a king bomb, opening his mouth is full of dry goods, the whole process is not watered, instantly aroused everyone's interest.
In order to let everyone empathize, Teacher He Wen also talked about why he wanted to go abroad in the past, the reason is that his wife went abroad, she has been out for 5 years, and hasn't returned yet. He integrated his longing for his wife into the process of going abroad, speaking with deep affection, making people shed tears after listening.
Looking at Teacher He Wen who was not pretentious on the stage, Li Heng sighed secretly for the other party, it has been 5 years and hasn't returned, presumably his wife was fascinated by the flower world outside, and it is unknown whether she will return in the future?
It's not that he has a bad heart, thinking of human nature as bad. But the status quo of this era is like this, after some people go abroad, they have new feelings in a foreign land and don't return.
He Wen had made sufficient preparations in advance, the 15-minute lecture was vivid and imaginative, and the impression was particularly deep. When he finished speaking and bowed to the audience to leave the stage, the audience sent sincere applause to this true-hearted man.
Following is the second theme, foreign teacher ella talks to everyone about Western culture and customs.
ella's image is good, blonde and blue-eyed, tall, as soon as she appeared, she attracted all the male eyes.
How do you say that? Things are expensive because they are rare, plus most of the people who came to the scene wanted to go abroad, and they had the kind of "the moon abroad is rounder than domestic" mentality, so ella, a foreigner, brought a bonus halo. Even if she farted on the scene, damn it, presumably someone would say it was fragrant.
Not in vain, she worked in the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ella knows how to arouse everyone's curiosity, not only put on sexy heavy makeup, wore clothes that were exposed but not exposed, spoke on stage, twisted her body, and various gestures flew, and in the middle, she interacted with several boys and girls boldly and enthusiastically, telling the whole process in English, the atmosphere at the scene was lively and never stopped.
Li Heng nodded secretly, not bad, the enthusiasm of foreigners and the rationality of our domestic teachers form two contrasts, not a bad thing, diversity can make students maintain interest.
After 15 minutes, the third theme was ushered in, which is also the most important theme today, how to learn English well? How to deal with TOEFL exams?
Teacher Zhao Li from Renmin University made full preparations. Li Ran also spent her heart, preparing several plants to ask questions in the audience.
The two sang and sang, making everyone fall into their rhythm?
For example, a plant asked a question that everyone wanted to ask: "Teacher Zhao, are there any tips for the TOEFL exam?"
Teacher Zhao Li smiled and nodded: "Of course, if there are no tips for learning English, it is difficult to learn well just by rote memorization.
Our New Future School has a teaching and research group that has studied all the exam questions over the years, conducted in-depth summaries of multiple-choice questions and test questions, and compiled brand-new teaching materials that meet reality and meet everyone's needs, this is not available on the market, even if you don't know English, as long as you learn the teaching materials with us, the TOEFL exam will basically not be a problem..."
Zhao Li has also been teaching for 10 years, knowing how to deal with students, and below also gave examples of how to do multiple-choice questions?
For example, choose the shortest for three long and one short, choose the longest for three short and one long, choose b for different lengths, choose d for uneven levels, choose a for same length, choose c for same shortness, etc.
Honestly, this set of exam formulas was basically used rotten in later generations, and many test-setting teachers also have precautions against this. But in the 80s, this often hits the right mark, really when you encounter something you don't know, doing multiple-choice questions according to this might have miraculous effects.
Although this has the component of fooling people, the people listening to the lecture below became serious rarely, took out paper and pen in unison, and wrote this set of formulas in the notebook.
They all say that boring speeches are like years, but successful trial classes pass particularly fast.
Look, in a blink of an eye, more than an hour and a half passed.
Calculating the time, Li Ran took the microphone and spoke on the podium at the climax of everyone listening to it:
"Students, when many calls consulted our New Future, they all said they were very hesitant, very confused, and even produced fear of the TOEFL exam due to multiple failures.
I want to say your perception is correct, world competition is so cruel, life is so difficult, you are hesitant and afraid, we fully understand.
They all say one minute on stage, ten years of work off stage. Come to our New Future School, we are not just responsible for teaching, but also guides; not just imparting knowledge, but also shaping dreams.
Now, there are two roads in front of you, one road is shrinking, destined to lead to failure; the other is full of thorns and suffering, but the road ahead is full of light. Everyone has the right to choose, you can choose to live, be at ease and quit, or you can choose to join our New Future School, we teach with heart, you learn with peace of mind, move forward with weight together, and build a better future together...."
Li Ran chattered, full of enthusiasm, and spent another five or six minutes instilling a wave of heart-stirring chicken soup for everyone.
Not bad, the effect is great! Look, as soon as the trial class ended, everyone was like being beaten with chicken blood, and they rushed to the registration point one after another.
Almost in an instant, the 6 registration points were blocked, and 11 teachers actively joined the ranks of consulting, registering, and collecting registration fees.
Afraid that the teachers would be too busy, Li Lan and security guard Liu Jingye walked over and spontaneously helped to beat the side.
Seeing such a scene, Yang Yingwen was very happy, took the microphone and pointed to everyone: "Don't be anxious! Don't squeeze! The registration point for the intensive class is on the left, the advanced class for going abroad is in the middle, and the future class is on the right, you can go to the registration point according to your needs."
The intensive class fee is 400 yuan, the advanced class for going abroad fee is 880 yuan. The future class has one-stop service, the fee is 1288 yuan.
Li Heng was surprised to find that the people queuing for the intensive class and the future class were the most, scanning roughly, each was at least not less than 800 people.
Especially the future class with a fee as high as 1288 yuan, the number of people blocked around was actually the most, and the two registration points definitely had more than 1,200 people.
On the contrary, the advanced class for going abroad in the middle appeared relatively cold, estimated that only four or five hundred people were queuing.
Li Heng walked around, listened everywhere, and after a long while, he sighed to Teacher Yu in a corner quietly: "Teacher, my imagination is still not enough, there are still many rich people in the capital, willing to spend money."
Scanning the crowd, Yu Shuheng smiled slightly: "In the eyes of these people, going abroad represents success, represents being able to live a life above others abroad, this is investment, and also gambling, of course they are willing to smash money, even if the money in their pockets is squeezed out of toothpaste, they will not save at this juncture. I have to say, little boy, your eyes are poisonous enough, accurately found a money path that others didn't find, today it looks like it will be rolling in money, it is said that there will be pure profit of millions."
PS: Updated first, edited later.
Note: Let me talk about the update, I looked at the background, so far, this month has updated more than 178,000 words, which is not much compared to the previous few months. But this month I mainly adjusted my life and work, wanting to lower my blood pressure.
Next month, I will try to restore the previous update volume, I feel that writing too little every day, I write boringly, you should not be very cool to watch, I will try to work harder. Thank you all for your support.
