After two weeks of stumbling rehearsals, the play "Role Model" was finally rehearsed.
As for the song "The Sun is Reddest, the Chairman is Dearest", the song and dance team and band have almost practiced it.
So the political commissar reported to his superiors.
The superiors were very happy when they heard about it.
It is really good that the cultural troupe can actively respond to the call of the leader, bring forth the new from the old, and let a hundred flowers bloom.
"Okay, Old Zhao, you are following the situation closely." The commander said with a smile, "Now the whole army is calling for learning from Lei Feng. Your art troupe can produce a drama to promote Lei Feng's spirit and call on everyone to learn. very good."
"Thank you for the compliment, Chief. I am also responding to the call of my superiors and doing my best." The political commissar quickly said cautiously, "Chief, please let me know when you have time. Our art troupe would like to give you a report and performance."
"Then let's make it this weekend." The chief thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." The political commissar agreed immediately, and then circled it on the calendar.
…
The news that the performance was reported to the chief over the weekend quickly spread throughout the entire art troupe.
Suddenly, everyone rehearsed even harder.
Not only do we have to rehearse during the day, we have to practice extra at night, which is much harder than before.
The reason for this is mainly because the political commissar wanted to learn from Lei Feng and use the good drama "Role Model" and the good song "The Sun is Redest, the Chairman is Dearest" to put on a big show for the chief to see.
These two works are both the artistic troupe’s own works. If there is merit, the cultural troupe deserves full credit.
As long as the leader is happy, his meritorious service and promotion will be stable.
Therefore, he has strict requirements to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
He put pressure on the captain, and the captain put pressure on the team members. For a while, everyone became Alexander.
He Xiaoping is the one who is under the most pressure.
She was worried that her little nurse performance might not be good enough and she might be kicked off the show, so she practiced secretly after turning off the lights.
But haste makes waste.
She practiced for three hours at night, and rehearsed intensively during the day. After persisting like this for three days, his whole face became pale and his energy was listless. He couldn't help but lose consciousness while standing on the stage, and was reprimanded several times by the captain. Had the opposite effect.
This made many people secretly laugh at her, especially those who lost the election, and their words were even more unpleasant.
"I knew she wouldn't be good at acting."
"Without that diamond, don't take the porcelain job."
"Be more conscious and quit early to avoid being kicked out and even more embarrassing."
Xiang Nan originally didn't know about her extra training at night, but Xiao Suizi secretly told him.
After hearing the news, Xiang Nan felt both admiration and pity.
He understood Xiaoping's desire to strive for the top.
If a person has been depressed or wronged for a long time, he will naturally want to express his feelings.
However, if you squeeze yourself like this, something will happen sooner or later.
Therefore, that night, after the lights were turned off, Xiang Nan quietly left the dormitory.
He walked around the barracks and saw Xiaoping under the streetlight on the corner of the street speaking her lines and doing the movements, looking very hard.
It was already early July, and it was extremely hot even at night.
Xiaoping was so hot that her head was covered with sweat. Under the illumination of the street lamp, each one was very vivid.
But she didn't care about wiping, and still practiced seriously. Xiang Nan was in awe of his hard work.
…
"Uh-huh~" Xiang Nan coughed dryly and walked over, startling Xiaoping.
However, when she saw that it was Xiang Nan, she immediately smiled and rolled her eyes.
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"If you can't sleep, get up and practice." Xiaoping rubbed the corner of her clothes and said. She always felt a little flustered in front of Xiang Nan.
"You don't have to work so hard. In fact, you are already very good." Xiang Nan comforted with a smile.
These days, they always rehearse plays together. He saw Xiaoping's performance, which was already very good.
"Really?!" Xiao Ping said happily, then lowered her head, "But why do I still feel that I am not good enough?"
"Because you have too high demands on yourself and are always anxious to achieve results." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Don't push yourself so much in the future and relax."
"They are all so much better than me. It's too late for me to catch up. How dare I relax." Xiaoping sighed.
She was the last person to join the art troupe. Others have received training for many years and are much better than her in dancing, singing, and acting. Although she listened to Xiang Nan's advice and didn't want to be the first, she also didn't want to be the last.
"Have you ever run? One hundred meters depends on sprinting. Whoever sprints faster will win. Five thousand meters or ten thousand meters depends on endurance. If anyone runs at the speed of a hundred meters sprint, he will not be able to run half of it. Your body will collapse." Xiang Nan said seriously.
"Life is like a long-distance race. Some people do rush ahead, but they may not be able to stay ahead. If you don't make the mistake of chasing them, it will only make you exhausted.
You don't have to chase anyone, run at your own pace and stick to it, then you will be the winner in life. "
Xiang Nan was standing under the street lamp when he said these words.
The light shone down from the top of his head, bathing his whole body in light, making him look like a saint.
Xiaoping listened carefully to every word he said.
Although she didn't understand it very well, she knew in her heart that what Xiang Nan said made sense.
Therefore, she nodded heavily.
"Okay, let's take a shower and go back to bed." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "It's getting late, don't tire yourself out."
"Well, goodbye Comrade Liu." Xiaoping nodded.
…
After Xiaoping received Xiang Nan's advice, she stopped practicing secretly at night in the next few days.
This made her mentally and physically much better, and her performance during rehearsals during the day was also better.
This made the squad leader very satisfied.
As the performance report date approached, Zhu Ke, Lu Yining, Wang Huaibo, Sun Yanyan and others felt more and more pressure, so they secretly practiced like Xiaoping.
However, like Xiaoping, they also lost their energy too quickly. I didn't have the energy to rehearse during the day, I couldn't sleep at night, and I received a lot of punishment from the team leader.
"If you make another mistake, you should quit as soon as possible, lest I fire you." She scolded.
Seeing the reporting performance right in front of them, they made frequent mistakes. Either she forgot the words, she was lost in thought, or she forgot to move, which forced rehearsals to be suspended frequently, which really pissed her off.
The more severe she was, the greater the pressure on everyone. They couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and within a few days they all lost shape.
Seeing their distress, Xiang Nan chose to stand by and watch.
Because in the film, when Liu Feng was slandered by Lin Dingding, no one except He Xiaoping stood up to speak for him. They didn't even dare to send him away, which would be in vain that Liu Feng had done so many good things for them before.
Therefore, these people deserved their misfortune, and he didn't feel sorry for them at all.
…
But on the day of reporting on the performance, something happened.
