Chapter 80 A Flash of Inspiration, A Rebellious New Song
Lin Hanjiang felt that if he took matters into his own hands, he could get Zhou Tao to host his graduation party.
After Zhou Tao goes to host on CCTV, his graduation gala will probably be displayed by the school.
A certain CCTV host hosted their graduation party.
Although we haven't had much contact, the last time we discussed cooperation at the noodle shop, it went quite smoothly. The other party seemed capable and straightforward, yet also very personable.
Asking her to host a music academy graduation party might be a bit of an overkill in terms of scale, but it's not entirely impossible.
The key question is, how do we bring it up?
They are legitimate TV hosts; their time is precious.
"I do know one of them."
Lin Hanjiang didn't rule out the possibility of a definitive answer.
"A reporter from Beijing TV, but she's a professional host. I'm not sure if I can get her to come. I can only say I'll try to contact her and see if it works out."
"From Beijing TV?"
Zhou Hua's eyes widened instantly, and he was so excited he almost jumped up.
"Senior, if you could get a reporter from Beijing TV to come, our graduation party would be amazing! Please help me, please help me! If you need anything from me, just let me know."
Seeing how Zhou Hua was busy and dedicated to the competition, Lin Hanjiang felt he should help her out.
Moreover, Zhou Hua also contributed a lot to Zu Hai's affairs.
"Okay, I'll give it a try. Don't tell anyone yet, wait for my message."
After seeing off the profusely grateful Zhou Hua, Lin Hanjiang returned to his dormitory and found the note with Zhou Tao's office phone number written on it.
Let's rest first, it's so late.
I'll call again tomorrow morning to ask.
Days passed one by one.
Lin Hanjiang's early-rising biological clock is still effective.
I got up early, ate breakfast, and then came back to think about the songs for the evening party.
I'm lacking inspiration and don't know what song to sing.
If that doesn't work, then choose either "The Story of Spring" or "Entering the New Era".
After dawdling for a while, I didn't expect that it would already be 9 o'clock.
I was cleaning up the trash when I found a stack of newspapers.
The newspaper was still from May.
Because I saw the reports about the May Fourth Youth Day.
Liang Qichao instantly came to Lin Hanjiang's mind.
"The responsibility of today does not lie with others, but entirely with us, the youth."
Lin Hanjiang was just worried.
I immediately sat down and wrote down the sheet music for the song that came to mind.
Sometimes, inspiration comes in a fleeting moment.
Then, I happily took the trash downstairs.
I found myself humming a new song without even realizing it, and a sense of national pride welled up inside me.
When I arrived at the end of the corridor on the first floor of the dormitory building, there was a public telephone next to me. I inserted coins and dialed.
Lin Hanjiang organized his thoughts for a moment, and the phone rang a few times before being answered. It was a woman's voice, but not Zhou Tao's.
"Hello, this is the Arts and Entertainment Department of Beijing TV."
"Hello, is reporter Zhou Tao here? This is Lin Hanjiang."
"Please wait a moment."
After a while, Zhou Tao's clear and pleasant voice came through: "Hello, Lin Hanjiang? What brings you here? Is there a change in the recording schedule?"
"Sister Tao, sorry to bother you. The recording time hasn't changed, but I have something else to ask you for help with."
Lin Hanjiang directly stated his purpose, briefly explaining the situation of the graduation party lacking a host and having limited funds.
Then he said sincerely, "I know this request is a bit presumptuous, Sister Tao, you're so busy with work, but this party is a crucial moment for us graduates. So, I'm shamelessly asking if it's possible for you to spare some time to host it for us? As for compensation, our student union's budget is indeed limited, so it might only be a token gesture."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, as if someone was thinking.
Lin Hanjiang's heart skipped a beat.
"The graduation party—when is it?" Zhou Tao asked.
"On the evening of June 25th."
"The 25th, let me check my schedule."
There was another brief pause, accompanied by the sound of pages turning.
"Well, I don't have any recording scheduled for that night, so hosting it wouldn't be entirely out of the question."
Lin Hanjiang was overjoyed.
But Zhou Tao changed the subject, a hint of a smile playing on his lips, though it was hard to tell if he was joking or serious: "However, Lin, we've dealt with each other a few times already. If I agree to go, it'll be a friendly gesture of support, and I can forgo the appearance fee. But how do you plan to repay me? You can't expect me to make a wasted trip and waste my time and energy, can you?"
This question was somewhat unexpected for Lin Hanjiang.
He paused for a moment, then quickly realized that this was probably Zhou Tao's way of communicating, so as not to make helping seem too cheap, and to give both parties an opportunity to get to know each other better and build a more solid relationship.
Lin Hanjiang's popularity is growing, and Zhou Tao is eager to get closer to him, hoping to appear on various programs to support him.
Especially his mentors, many of whom have appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.
This is real connections.
Lin Hanjiang smiled sincerely and said, "Sister Tao, you said it. As long as it's within my power, I will definitely do my best."
"Hmm—" Zhou Tao seemed to think for a moment, "How about this, I happen to have a job this afternoon, to do a charity visit and filming at a nursing home in Xicheng District, which is part of the station's 'Sending Warmth' series. We're not exactly short-staffed to begin with, so if you're free, could you come and help out? It'll be a good way to experience life and gather some different material."
Go help out at the welfare home?
This is an unexpected way of repaying kindness.
Lin Hanjiang replied almost without hesitation: "Okay, I'm free. Sister Tao, can you tell me the address and how long it would be appropriate for me to go there?"
""
Zhou Tao gave an address and then said, "We'll arrive around 1:30 to start setup and preliminary communication. If it's convenient for you, you can arrive around 2:00."
"Sure, would you like me to find a few more people to go?"
"No need, we don't need too many people. It's mainly about moving things, distributing gifts, chatting with the elderly, and maybe performing a short skit or something. Too many people would make it harder to coordinate."
"I understand, I'll go over by myself in a bit."
Lin Hanjiang immediately understood Zhou Tao's implied meaning.
This isn't really about a lack of able-bodied labor; it's more about hoping for his personal participation, which can be seen as a kind of exchange.
Zhou Tao really knows how to find trending topics, since it's a charity program.
There's no need to give Lin Hanjiang money; the show can even increase its ratings.
However, Lin Hanjiang also needed her help, so it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Hanjiang checked the time; it was still early.
You can practice the new song you just wrote and then report it to your teacher.
You can even go to the teacher's house for a free meal.
It's not that he's stingy or cheap; it's just that the food at the teacher's house tastes better.
Generally, if the teacher's wife is present, she will cook; if Zhang is also present, Zhang will cook.
Lin Hanjiang rarely visited his teacher's house before, but after eating at Teacher Jin's house a few times recently.
My opinion of Teacher Jin has changed.
It turns out that Teacher Jin's cooking skills are better than both his wife's and Zhang's.
However, this time when I went to the teacher's house, as soon as I handed over the sheet music, the teacher kicked me out.
I didn't even get to taste a single bite of the food.
The teacher must be jealous of his talent.
There's nothing we can do about it; they always manage to come up with such perfectly timed new songs.
As the saying goes: "In our youth, we were full of vigor and vitality, brimming with scholarly spirit, and boldly expressing our opinions."
