"Anyway, it's a joint performance between us and the Southwest Art Troupe. The final result will definitely be compared to others, which is why everyone's reaction is so intense."
During the break, Ye Ning specifically asked Zheng Shuyun about the situation.
After listening to Zheng Shuyun's explanation, Ye Ning finally understood the reason for everyone's frustration.
"Even if our performance is not as exciting as the Southwest Art Troupe, it won't have any impact, right?"
"Ye Ning, you are so naive. It sounds like a joint performance, but in fact they are stepping on us to get the upper hand. I heard that the Southwest Art Troupe and the Oriental Art Troupe also held a performance together at the end of last year. Both sides designed five program, as a result, five of the Oriental Art Troupe’s programs were suspended and beaten by the Southwest Art Troupe. Later, the leader of the Oriental Art Troupe was transferred away not long after.”
Zheng Shuyun's voice became much more solemn at the end.
Because of her father's relationship, she knows many more things than others.
Ye Ning frowned when he heard this, "Is there such a thing? Is it just a coincidence?"
Zheng Shuyun cautiously glanced around to make sure there was no one else, but still lowered his voice.
"My dad said that this kind of joint performance is simply a cover used by the leaders above to test the work of various art troupes. If the disparity is really too big, then the leaders in the troupe may be in danger."
Ye Ning understood what Zheng Shuyun meant and realized that this might indeed be the cruel truth about the joint performance.
Lin Qing was kind to her, and she certainly didn't want Lin Qing to be transferred from the art troupe because of this performance.
Zheng Shuyun looked at Ye Ning's solemn expression and felt that his words had put too much pressure on her.
"Ye Ning, don't think too much. These things are not something we can worry about. Let's just rehearse well and follow the captain's instructions."
Ye Ning collected her thoughts and nodded, "Okay."
Military area, training ground.
"Rest where you are for fifteen minutes."
Following Gu Feng's order, the tense soldiers instantly relaxed.
Jia Hao handed the water glass to Gu Feng, looked at the trace of exhaustion on Gu Feng's face and asked with concern: "You have just recovered from your injury, is it okay to participate in such intense training?"
Gu Feng took a gulp of water without any hesitation on this question.
"no problem."
Jia Hao had already guessed it. After all, he was a notoriously desperate man in the entire group.
"The body is the capital of revolution, and you still have a long way to go in the future."
They all know that Gu Feng's transfer order may come at any time, and leaving the company is only a matter of time sooner or later.
"I know it well."
Gu Feng's answer made Jia Hao feel helpless.
"How are your siblings doing lately?"
Jia Hao suddenly changed the topic to Ye Ning.
Ever since Ye Ning became famous on the National Day, many people have been "famous" for her.
She is definitely a celebrity in the art troupe now.
After all, everyone wanted to see how an almost illiterate village woman suddenly became a pianist in a cultural troupe.
Gu Feng replied casually: "It's okay."
"Didn't you create any different sparks when you returned to your hometown this time?" As an instructor, Jia Hao wanted to know clearly about the situation of everyone in the company, and of course Gu Feng was no exception.
Now Ye Ning has changed her mind and has made great changes, and Gu Feng's situation obviously makes it impossible to mention divorce again, so of course he must live a good life.
Gu Feng looked at Jia Hao's concerned and gossipy look and sighed helplessly.
"produced."
Jia Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and this answer was obviously beyond his expectation.
"Tell me, what happened to you in your hometown?"
Gu Feng smiled, but there was an indescribable sense of powerlessness in that smile.
"We won't quarrel in the future, now it should be..."
At this point he got stuck.
Couple?
It probably doesn't count.
They had been married for half a year without any real relationship, and Ye Ning was now thinking about divorcing him.
Friends?
It probably doesn’t count either.
At least friends should have like-minded interests and friendship.
Stranger?
But they live together, and each other's honor is closely related.
After more than ten seconds of silence, under Jia Hao's intense gaze, he could only say helplessly: "Let's live together."
"..."
Jia Hao didn't quite understand.
"What does it mean to live together?"
"Just don't interfere with each other." Gu Feng gave a rare explanation, and these were Ye Ning's exact words.
"How can a couple sleep on the same bed without disturbing each other? What on earth are you doing?" Jia Hao's eyebrows were twisted into knots.
Because of the rumors about Ye Ning, she and Gu Feng collapsed the bed at night, so almost everyone believed that Gu Feng had already been with Ye Ning.
After all, with Ye Ning's overbearing temperament, if Gu Feng hadn't touched her for so long, she would definitely be in trouble.
Gu Feng sighed and looked into the distance.
Yes, he also wants to know what are they doing?
"It's simply not possible to do this!"
It was clearly past the time to get off work, but Xu Mingyu and Li Jianhua were still having an intense discussion in the rehearsal room.
A table of rehearsal manuscripts was scattered in front of the two of them.
They all know that it is impossible for the joint performance to win the Southwest Art Troupe in terms of strength, so the only breakthrough point is the design and effect of the program.
The songs and music performed daily are completely devoid of any novelty or surprise. Even if they continue to be rehearsed for a hundred years, they will still have the same effect as they are now. They needed to create a new track, one that was shocking enough.
If there is such a new program, then maybe it can make up for the lack of singing and playing skills.
But composing new songs is not an easy task, and the time left for them was only a little over a month.
In more than a month, they not only had to create new songs, but also needed the chorus and band to perform in perfect coordination. Both of them felt unprecedented pressure.
"I don't believe that with the abilities of the two of us, we can't come up with this new song in a week!"
The joints of Li Jianhua's hand holding the pen were turning white.
Xu Mingyu cried sadly, "Are you serious?"
In the past, if they designed a new performance piece, it would take at least three months from creation to rehearsal to actual performance on stage.
Now they are simply taking orders at the last moment, and they are still under such great pressure. This is simply impossible.
Li Jianhua looked absolutely determined, "I've already called home. I've been staying at the art troupe these days to write new songs."
"Are you going to burn the boat?" Xu Mingyu also cheered up again.
Li Jianhua's eyes swayed violently, and he said loudly and forcefully: "How can you know if it doesn't work if you don't force yourself!"
