Ding Yue nodded in satisfaction and then walked toward the field of the Central Sports Ground, at the same time, he said to Director Xiong Yang, "For the opening performance, we’ll stick to the plan we discussed earlier, right?"
"Yes, Principal Ding, we’ll use Big White for the opening performance. Big White is really popular this year and has amassed a large number of fans both domestically and abroad. Big White’s presence is sure to make an exceptional impact on the opening," said Director Xiong Yang with confidence.
Director Xiong Yang sounded very confident.
Ding Yue agreed with this as well.
After all, that’s Big White, an AI robot that everyone in the country loves and that has become globally famous starting this year. This artificial intelligence robot is being hailed by many foreigners as the strongest AI robot in the world today.
The reason why Big White earned the title of "The World’s Strongest AI Robot" was primarily due to its victory over Google Company’s AlphaGo, which was known as the world’s number one AI robot, in a challenge earlier this year, thus ascending to godlike status.
Using Big White for the opening will definitely be a showstopper!
"Okay, let’s proceed with the original plan for the Big White opening."
Ding Yue nodded and said, "I hope that this year, we can also give our audience a New Year’s Eve Gala to remember."
"I am sure we can," replied Director Xiong Yang immediately, taking over from Principal Ding.
In the afternoon, after surveying the place with Director Xiong Yang, Ding Yue went back to the Fifth Canteen for dinner.
Tonight, Ding Yue had a "show"; his duet with Jia Wenbo was not listed in the program. This was a deliberate move by Ding Yue to avoid revealing his name and act in the program, with the intent to surprise the audience and the students.
In the program list, Jia Wenbo’s performance was scheduled right after Big White’s entrance, randomly presenting the theme song of "Super Combat Team," which was also Jia Wenbo’s classic hit that brought him fame.
Following that, Jia Wenbo had another opportunity to take the stage, but this time it would be to perform a new song with Ding Yue. Ding Yue was very confident about this song; even if it didn’t become a major hit, he was sure it would at least become moderately popular after tonight’s performance. Ding Yue had confidence in this song, his own singing abilities, and speaking of Jia Wenbo, there was no need to elaborate—Jia Wenbo was indeed a powerhouse among the new generation of singers.
The evening quickly arrived.
Before eight o’clock, the live stream room of Mist City Arts and Science University on the Feiyue Home Streaming Media platform had already started broadcasting.
Since the official New Year’s Eve Gala program had not yet begun, there weren’t many viewers in the live stream room and it was a long way from peak online viewership.
However, even so, the number of online viewers was already quite impressive.
Tonight, Toi TV Station, Dream Blue TV Station, and other channels had invited numerous popular stars to their New Year’s Eve singing competitions, vying for popularity and audience numbers with Mist City Arts and Science University.
"Front row seats!"
"Has it started?"
"Didn’t they say it would start at eight o’clock?"
"Can the director show Lin Zhirou, hehe."
"Isn’t the New Year’s Eve Gala of Mist City Arts and Science University more exciting than the Toi TV Station’s New Year’s concert?"
"I’m dying of laughter. Toi TV Station’s New Year’s concert invited a bunch of young male stars."
"Guys, the New Year’s Day Gala of Mist City Arts and Science University is what men should watch, not the girly stuff at Toi TV Station or Dream Blue TV Station."
"Exactly, what era are we in that they’re still using young male stars?"
"Now it’s the era where talent is king. Besides singing, dancing, and rapping, what else can those young male stars do?"
"You can’t say that. Although those young male stars might not have much talent or good works, they know how to charm young girls!"
In the live stream room of Mist City Arts and Science University, the audience had already started a passionate discussion. The official broadcast content hadn’t even begun, and the barrage of comments in the live stream room was already relentless, much like that of a super popular streamer.
No need to wonder about the comments during the actual performance later on—probably just like last year, turning on the comment feed during the performance would fill the screen with the audience’s comments.
"Principal Ding, you’re going on stage to perform later, are you nervous?"
In the backstage lounge, Secretary Wen Ruohan looked at Principal Ding and asked.
"Ah, this..."
Caught off guard by Secretary Wen Ruohan suddenly asking this question, Ding Yue didn’t immediately know how to respond.
To say he was nervous—after all, he had seen the world, and it would be laughable to be nervous about something like this.
To say he wasn’t nervous—
Would actually be false.
For a stage that everyone was looking forward to like this, it was also Ding Yue’s first time stepping onto it, and he was going to sing a song for everyone. It was definitely impossible for him not to be nervous.
"Indeed, I’m a little nervous, but it’s really just a little bit."
Ding Yue spoke with feigned composure.
"Principal Ding, you will surely sing wonderfully. But I’m really curious, what song are you going to sing, Principal Ding?" Secretary Wen Ruohan asked with a face full of curiosity.
It had to be said that Principal Ding’s secrecy had been truly well executed. Even now, Wen Ruohan still didn’t know what song Principal Ding would be singing with Jia Wenbo.
Wen Ruohan was Principal Ding’s personal secretary, and even she didn’t know; from this, we could see just how extraordinary the secrecy level was for the song Principal Ding was going to sing with Jia Wenbo today.
"Hahaha, you will find out in time."
Ding Yue even intentionally teased his secretary Wen Ruohan a bit more.
Since it had already been kept a secret up to this point, there was absolutely no need for Ding Yue to tell Wen Ruohan anything now. All they had to do was wait a little longer, until Ding Yue went on stage to perform with Jia Wenbo, then everything would be revealed.
"Alright then, I’ll be looking forward to it."
Wen Ruohan said with anticipation.
"OK."
Ding Yue made an "OK" sign with his hand.
A short while later, a burst of loud and sky-high cheering erupted inside the Central Sports Ground.
It must be something that ignited the atmosphere at the venue.
If Ding Yue’s guess was right, it was probably because Mist City Arts and Science University’s New Year’s Eve Gala officially began, and Big White took the stage.
Because Ding Yue had already handed over Big White to Director Xiong Yang, instructing the relevant groups to control Big White’s voice, after giving the permissions, Big White could fly a circle around the Central Sports Ground as arranged for the opening.
"Big White has started."
After hearing the huge cheers from inside the Central Sports Ground, Ding Yue immediately spoke, then stood up and walked out of the backstage rest room towards the Central Sports Ground.
Along with Big White’s entrance, the prelude to a song closely related to Big White also started playing.
As soon as this prelude started, everyone started swinging along to a song that the audience was all too familiar with.
"I knew it, where there’s Big White, there’s always this number about chopping wood!"
"’Immortals’ is indeed immortal!"
"Here it comes, here it comes, Big White takes the stage, setting the audience ablaze, just one ’Immortals’ gives me full-body goosebumps, okay."
"Cool!"
"Wow, Big White flying is truly cool!"
"This flight, could it be paying homage to that flight during the battle with AlphaGo?"
"Hahaha, the moment I see Big White flying, I cannot help but recall the scene of Big White thrashing AlphaGo."
"There it is, there’s the scene."
"I kind of want to own a Big White."
"Though I’ve listened to this song countless times, it still feels so exhilarating now!"
"My body has already started to catch the fire."
"Starting off with such an explosive performance?"
"Big White! Big White! Big White! Jia Wenbo! Jia Wenbo! Jia Wenbo!"
The cheering at the scene was like the roar of thundering waves, deafening!
"How many people are at this venue?"
Ding Yue looked at the dense crowd in the audience stands, the glow sticks in their hands, the smartphones, and couldn’t help but exclaim.
This was just like a super star’s concert. Ding Yue wouldn’t believe it if there weren’t tens of thousands of people!
