As the sun sets, the flaming clouds dye all the buildings, carriages and horses in Lingao County a faint red.
A Dongfeng carriage drove slowly through the newly paved street. The driver gently lifted the reins, and the well-trained draft horse slowly stopped next to a building with a plaque with the words "Central Experimental Art Troupe". A female senator walked out of the car, holding a "Paris Bird's Nest" in her black hair. Her skirt was fluttering, her manners were dignified, and she was elegant and slightly charming. She was Liu Shuixin.
Just then, another carriage of the same type arrived shortly after. Before the carriage stopped, a figure jumped out. She was a girl wearing a blue navy dress with white trim and a sailor lapel.
"Ah, Teacher Liu! What a coincidence! Long time no see! You look so good! Wow, such a beautiful dress is still so new. It seems like they have finally learned how to make clothes!"
The girl jumped all the way to Liu Shuixin, asking questions like a barrage. For Liu Shuixin, she is familiar with every "little veteran", especially the girls. She gives them bodybuilding classes every week.
"Ziqi, what are you doing here? You're not participating in a show." Liu Shuixin smiled and said, "I think you can also come to a show."
"I can't do it," Lin Ziqi waved her hands repeatedly. "Singing is like a car accident, dancing is like a chaotic dance of demons... I have no talent. I'm here to rehearse with her today!" She pointed to Zhang Yunmi who had just gotten out of the car behind her, and the latter had already changed. After putting on the performance costume, he said hello with a smile: "Hello, Teacher Liu! Thank you for your hard work for coming to guide me at this time!"
"Hello Yunmi! For the quality of the show, it doesn't matter if you work a little harder, but it's great that you can lead the dance! The rehearsal is about to start, let's go in!" Zhang Yunmi's dance has made rapid progress in the past few days of rehearsals, Liu Shui I appreciate it very much. This girl is not only good at understanding, but also able to endure hardships: dancing is easy - as long as she is cute, has a good figure, and has a little sense of music, girls who dance to the music can get it. Countless "likes". But I want to dance well and expressively. It takes quite a lot of hard work. Zhang Yunmi didn't have any dance foundation. When she started dancing, her body was a bit stiff, so she had to practice repeatedly at the expense of rest time. Therefore, there is also kindness in the words.
Liu Shuixin originally didn't have a good impression of Plaid Skirt Club being an idol group. The reason is that in another time and space, she has seen many girls who uploaded dancing videos to the Internet. In her opinion, some girls have great looks, figures and smiles, but they don’t put much effort into dancing. Even the simple Japanese idol dance is performed with slight movements of hands and feet that seems to be extremely sparse in physical strength. If Dongmen and others hadn't explained in many ways that they were building a "professional group". She does have a bit of a technical itch, and she originally didn't want to take on the job of being a rehearsal teacher for an idol group.
But these days. She actually enjoyed it. In so many years, this was the first time that she was seriously arranging dances and preparing for performances. The long absence from work made her radiant and she felt much younger.
The three of them walked into the building, and Lin Ziqi, who was trailing behind, did not forget to gesture to the guards to follow the carriage and leave.
As the cultural festival performance approached, several organizers of the Plaid Skirt Club paid special attention to the overtime rehearsal. Not only did they all attend, but they also directed the members to prepare for the stage.
Zhang Bolin stood behind the mixing console, with a layer of sweat forming on his forehead.
Because Nangong Hao himself is multi-talented. There was really no time to take care of the Four Seasons performances of the troupe - of course the "old men" of the Plaid Skirt Club believed that this last move was Okamoto's "intentional" arrangement, so the task of operating the playback and amplification equipment on site fell to the club's Zhang Bolin . The main reason for letting him go is that he is the youngest and is said to have the fastest reaction.
Operating the playback and amplification equipment at the performance site is a technical job and requires careful attention. You must not make mistakes due to shaking hands, otherwise it may lead to confusing music and making a fool of yourself. At worst, the equipment may be burned due to operating errors. Especially the order of the accompaniment. Once the passage is misplaced, actors who dance strictly according to the rhythm of the music will immediately fall into chaos.
Zhang Bolin had no choice but to study with Nangong Hao. After several days of hard study. I can barely operate the recording and playback equipment independently.
In the rehearsal hall, areas have been marked with paper tape taped to the floor according to the size and shape of the stage. The sunlight casts down from the skylight, reflecting the numbers on the floor clearly.
White Arabic numerals, from 0 to 15, from front to back, with a total of three rows and sixteen positions.
A group of girls were already waiting in the rehearsal room. They had put on makeup, headbands and trinkets as required by the performance. In order to preserve the beauty and integrity of the clothes and ornaments, no one sat down but stood against the walls.
"Okay, everyone, please stand according to your position! Let's start rehearsing." Liu Shui didn't care about chatting with the people of the Plaid Skirt Club, and got into the mood immediately after coming out of the dressing room.
She put on tights and dancing shoes, and her hair was tied back with a handkerchief without getting in the way. With a serious expression and a serious expression, she seemed to be completely different from the charming young woman just now.
The girls quickly took their positions according to the rehearsal. Although there were sixteen positions, three of them did not have a position. Standing in the last row, they were substitute members, although they were also dressed according to the performance requirements. Wearing costumes and makeup, we participated in the whole rehearsal, but during the performance, we could only stand aside and wait for the replacement.
Zhang Yunmi stood at No. 0, which is the center position in the front row. This position is the so-called c position. The center of attention. Position 1 belongs to Lin Aili, and position 2 belongs to Zuo Yamei. It is said that this was Dongmen Chuiyu’s instruction. Liu Shuixin’s original opinion was that Zuo Yamei should stand at No. 1. Dongmen's reasons are quite good: Zuo Yamei is an "amateur activist" and Lin Aili is still a full-time student. Lin Aili is also younger in age, and obviously has greater potential as an artist.
"Come on, the first song!" Liu Shuixin clapped her hands and shouted in the direction of Zhang Bolin, "The only flower in the world!"
Music in the style of another time and space sounded, and girls in plaid skirts danced gracefully under the leadership of veteran Zhang Yunmi.
Liu Shuixin stood aside, watching everyone's dance movements carefully, nodding or frowning from time to time.
After the song ended, Dongmen Chuiyu and others sat nearby and applauded, but Liu Shuixin shook his head slightly: "There are still some small problems. Starting from Yun Mi, come to me individually one by one, and I will emphasize the details."
Lin Ziqi had already found a comfortable chair and sat down. When she saw her best friend walking over from Liu Shuixin, she hurriedly took out the kvass from her bag and handed it to her. At the same time, she praised: "You look so good in Japanese clothes! If you were in In the old days, there must have been a lot of people gathered around asking for autographs!”
Zhang Yunmi took the drink smoothly but did not answer the question. Because she was afraid of smearing her makeup, she didn't dare to wipe her face with a towel. She just used a tissue to absorb the sweat: "Huh, I'm so tired. Uncle Dongmen is organizing rehearsals at this time, so dinner should be arranged, right?"
"Of course!" Lin Ziqi replied loudly, "Our Fangcaodi Class No. 1 class is here, how can we neglect it!"
Zhang Yunmi smiled shyly, shook her head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, what have I become?" She did not pick up the kvass, but shook her head, "You have to put a straw in me."
Because of the lipstick and foundation, I can only use a straw to drink water after putting on makeup.
"Ah, I forgot!" Lin Ziqi quickly dug out the straw from her bag and inserted it into the bottle. Hand it to her again.
"Thank you. Ziqi, you are so considerate."
"You are so lucky." Lin Ziqi looked lovingly at her best friend holding the glass bottle and sipping the drink, "I thought it was just for fun..."
"Actually, I think it's okay. Dancing is fun. When you dance, your mind goes blank and you don't have to think about anything. You just dance to the rhythm. It's like floating." Zhang Yunmi smiled slightly, "It's a pity that I can't dance well. "
"If you don't dance well, others won't have to live..."
Zhang Yunmi shook his head: "Teacher Liu just said that my expressiveness was not enough."
"That's too nit-picky."
Zhang Yunmi smiled slightly: "I kind of like being an idol. Although I'm not very good at dancing."
Dongmen Chuiyu happened to come over, heard Lin Ziqi's words, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, you are actually a very good dancer, and the stage feeling is much better than those girls. After all, their expressive power is limited by the times. I can't compare with you! I've already arranged for the store and restaurant to deliver food soon, so you won't be hungry. You guys have a rest first, and I'll go check on Teacher Liu's situation." After that, he walked to the other end of the hall. .
"Well...Uncle Dongmen has made very thoughtful arrangements, so there's no need to go back for dinner." Zhang Yunmi squeezed out a faint smile.
Lin Ziqi naturally understood the meaning of the words. She didn't know what to say, so she just patted the slender shoulder of the girl next to her.
At this time, a guard soldier walked into the rehearsal hall. After chatting with several veterans, Wu Ciren's expression changed and he said, "I will step away for a while and tell everyone not to disperse." He quickly followed the soldier and left the rehearsal hall. .
They arrived at the art troupe's office, and a person on duty handed the receiver to the "police chief" who was enthusiastic about art.
"It's me, I'm Wu Ciren, who are you? Director Wu Mu of the Political Security Bureau? Wait a minute!" Wu Ciren covered the phone, waved his hand and retreated. After the soldiers and employees had left the office, he spoke to the phone: " What's your business?"
After listening to Wu Mu's narration on the phone, Wu Ciren frowned, especially the last sentence: "There is currently no evidence to prove that police officer Zuo Yamei has any behavior against the Senate, but his suspicious social contacts have been arranged For monitoring, please pay attention to safety and cooperate with our work in a timely manner." He was confused. (To be continued.
