Chapter 431: – The show begins
The next day, on Monday morning, Lin Jin had already sorted out everything for the street performance that afternoon.
She borrowed a pretty large speaker from Teacher Lin and got Zhu Dong and his cara to tag along. Once the morning class ended, the group carried a bunch of stuff over to the cafeteria.
Besides Lin Jin, Wu Min, Teacher Lin, and Zhu Dong were all going. Teacher Lin happened to have no classes in the afternoon, so she decided to join them.
If nothing unexpected happened, Teacher Lin would also be dancing and singing with Lin Jin to attract an audience. Even though she had no idea why Lin Jin wanted to do sothing so exhausting and thankless, it being fun was enough.
“So, Lin Jin, are you okay with singing and dancing in front of a crowd of people?” Wu Min had doubts towards Lin Jin and asked with a side eye. “I feel like you might end up embarrassing yourself.”
“No worries! Sacrifices for the sake of art!” Lin Jin held her head high and confidently said.
Teacher Lin held her chin with one hand and looked at Lin Jin sitting across from her: “Have you notified Wanda?”
“Huh? Do I need to?” Lin Jin blankly looked at her “It’s just singing and dancing, and it’s not like we’re going inside the mall, it’s just on the street. Besides, we’re not making any money from this.”
"Of course it's necessary." Teacher Lin rolled her eyes. She thought Lin Jin had everything sorted, but it seed like Lin Jin had rushed her over without arranging anything.
"Really? Let's eat first, let’s eat first. We can think about this after we're full." Lin Jin laughed and quickly changed the subject. She buried her head in her food and wolfed it down.
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances but could only shrug. There was nothing they could do about the unreliable event organizer, Lin Jin.
Lunch ended quickly. Lin Jin originally planned to bring everyone back to her apartnt to discuss the details of the street performance. But since Teacher Lin said that they needed to apply to perform at Wanda, they decided to head straight there. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough ti to visit the welfare center at three as Lin Jin usually did.
Class ended at noon and lunch took about half an hour. The group got in a taxi and arrived at Wanda Plaza in about ten minutes. Under the lead of the experienced Teacher Lin, they found the managent office and managed to quickly apply for a venue.
Teacher Lin seed to have so connections or reputation in the Jii area. With almost no hassle, they were granted about a ten square ter area next to Wanda’s gate 1.
In reality, it wouldn’t have been a problem even if they didn’t apply. Just as Lin Jin had originally thought, those street perforrs usually never applied for a spot, and most of the ti, nobody bothered to chase them away. But this was soone else’s property after all. Since Lin Jin planned to perform at this sa place for three to five days straight, there was a chance the security might notice and kick them out. With them getting permission, they wouldn’t have to worry about getting hassled by anyone from Wanda anymore.
Once they arrived at the spot by gate 1, Teacher Lin started adjusting the speaker, Zhu Dong adjusted the cara and connected it to the live stream, while Wu Min quickly took on the bodyguard role. Lin Jin, as the star of the show, found a place to sit and adjust her condition.
F*ck, so nervous.
Lin Jin clenched her hands, her body trembling a little.
She glanced around and saw that so people were starting to take notice, slowly gathering in small groups of two or three.
Lin Jin beca more nervous when she saw this. Not only did her body start trembling, but her hands and feet also shook and her face turned slightly pale.
I thought this task would be easy...
Speaking of which, Lin Jin was actually quite extroverted and outgoing in the past. Doing sothing embarrassing in public wouldn’t have been too hard for her before, but now, what she needed to do was a full on street performance.
And if things went according to plan, she would even be performing her first na video here, which was Pomp and Circumstance.
F*ck! Even thinking about it made her nervous!
Even though it wasn't the weekend, Wanda Plaza was still packed with people. With just a quick glance, Lin Jin estimated that there were at least two or three hundred people walking around this street. Most of them were young, probably students from the nearby schools. There were also a few office workers, likely from the nearby office buildings.
So many people.
Lin Jin looked over at Teacher Lin who was still adjusting the speaker. Right now, the speaker was playing Hitorinbo Envy. It seed that Teacher Lin was planning to let Lin Jin dance this not too shaful dance first to ease in.
She was going to be the public’s goddess! How could she be scared by just this!
Lin Jin bit her lower lip to psych herself up. But after just a mont, she beca deflated again.
It wasn’t like she wanted to be a goddess anyway. She just wanted to be a normal person, maybe a beautiful normal person.
That black cat really had so serious issues. It just needed to nicely issue so tasks about the internet, yet it had to be one about dancing in front of a crowd.
"Lin Jin, it’s good to go." Teacher Lin had finished troubleshooting the speaker, Zhu Dong’s cara was ready and the live stream had started.
"Is this an outdoor stream?"
“Doesn’t male god Xia Tian play Dota? Why’s he doing an outdoor stream?”
“That’s goddess Lin Jin! Did she start the stream? Xia Tian probably has work during the day.”
The live stream had just started. A group of viewers had already flooded in and were discussing what was going on in the chat.
Of course, Lin Jin had no idea what was happening on stream. Hearing Teacher Lin’s words, she stood up and forced a smile to Zhu Dong: "Tell the viewers about today's event."
"Okay." Zhu Dong pointed the cara toward Lin Jin, the protagonist, and with a playful smile, he lowered his voice to imitate the CCTV news announcer. "Viewers, today is Lin Jin's very first outdoor live stream. The contents of the stream will be singing and dancing. It’s just so street performances. During this week, we’ll be here at Gate 1 of Xian Jii’s Wanda every afternoon from one to three. If any viewers are nearby, feel free to co and watch live. You can even get a photo with the amazing Lin Jin!"
"I'm a student at Jii University! I'm going right now!"
Despite there only being a few hundred people watching, there really was one in the area.
Although the performance hadn’t started yet, the live stream had already caught the attention of the live streaming platform. Maybe because they thought the content had potential, they imdiately placed it on the recomndations area.
"Get ready to start." Teacher Lin approached Lin Jin. Seeing how nervous Lin Jin looked, she softly chuckled and gently took her hand, comforting. "How about I do it with you?"
"Okay."
Lin Jin forced a smile.
So Teacher Lin picked up the microphone and nodded to Wu Min, who was standing next to the speaker. Wu Min imdiately hit play on the phone to play the music.
It was the music for Hitorinbo Envy.
The show was starting.
