Schubert, who was half a body taller than her, walked up to her and looked at her as if he were looking at an inferior person.
"In other words, you are not convinced?" Schubert said.
Mo Yan secretly pulled her and said, "Stop making trouble and follow the command!"
"Why should I obey your orders?"
Schubert stared at Xuerou coldly, his emotions unmoved.
Xuerou was very angry.
She knows that everyone also wants to go to Japan, and everyone also wants to go abroad. Going abroad is such a luxurious fantasy for most people like Chen Nanfang! It would be so embarrassing if everyone's dreams failed due to the rules set by these adults.
""Magical Girl" is our hard work, and we worked hard to get this opportunity to perform! Although I was not in the team on National Day. But I know that it was not easy for everyone to survive a Category 10 typhoon that day. The end point. It was obviously a very good performance, and the audience recognized it, but because of the rules you set, all our efforts were wasted! If someone hadn't... sacrificed their dreams for us, you would have come to alone. During the wildebeest, we had already been disbanded! Why can those young men wearing high-end raincoats and waiting for the rain to lighten before they dare to sneak out share our achievements? Which of them, at the end, The makeup is gone! No, not a single one."
Along with Xuerou, everyone recalled the arduous march that day. Although the cheerleaders wore waterproof makeup, they used cheap cosmetics that could not withstand the constant washing of the rain. Even though the makeup on these girls’ faces was all gone, mascara and foundation seeped in with the rain. In their eyes, they still smiled proudly towards the invisible sun.
Not to mention the people in the band who are actually playing.
They raised their heads to the sky and moved forward. The fierce rain made it difficult for them to see the road ahead. However, they still insisted on using the corner of their eyes to align themselves as much as possible and keep the order of the phalanx as they moved forward.
Xuerou's roar made everyone's thoughts clear. At this time, everyone on the Unicorn Horse started making noises in line with Xuerou's mood.
"Why should we give the quota to them?"
"This is the performance notice we are trying to get back!"
"We want to go abroad, we all want to go abroad."
The current situation cannot be dealt with immediately. Everyone rushed up to vent their anger on Schubert. Fortunately, there were many teachers today and they all protected him.
"What do you mean?" Schubert said calmly.
With great difficulty, Mo Yan asked everyone to practice separately first. Xuerou, Schubert, and Li Moyan returned to the music room to discuss.
It was said to be a discussion, but in fact the main person to talk to was Li Moyan.
"I understand that you want to use the best lineup in Hong Kong, just like the Red Dragons of the national team, to gather all the forces you can muster to help us. I also know that many of us are indeed not up to standard but... Isn't this the core of what we want to express to everyone in "Magical Girl"? Yes, we are all ordinary people, and our strength is not sluggish, so everyone longs to be like "Magical Girl" by waving the magic wand. It solves all the problems in our lives, but there is no magic in the real world, so...so..."
As Xuerou talked, she seemed to be a little off topic, and she seemed to be drifting off.
After all, the core choreography of this song was completed by myself, just like my own child.
"Xue Rou, stop talking. You know the occasion clearly. This performance is not about children playing in the mud, it is about the face of our country!" Mo Yan scolded Xuerou in a general direction.
"No! I know, you could have replaced the entire Unicorn Band with Black Dragon. But let me tell you, even if their performance is a hundred times better than ours, they still can't express the meaning of this song or even the entire performance." The core comes out."
Schubert was silent as he listened, but Xuerou's words suddenly reminded him of his master's thoughts on the selection of the "Little Brave Man" from "The Little Brave Man", which he devoted his efforts to. At that time, he gave the recording of this excerpt to the master again and again, but the master was very dissatisfied.
On one occasion, when he was conducting a concert by the United Symphony Orchestra in New York and London, he specifically approached them and recorded it again.
I just remember that recording, it was perfect, every note was accurate, the artistic conception and atmosphere were all in place. Moreover, he believed that this recording was the most perfect lesson he had ever given to his master in his life.
However, Master Jiang once again expressed dissatisfaction to him.
"To be honest, your recording this time is so perfect. It is better than all my apprentices. It is so perfect that there is no room for any flaws."
The master rejected him with absolute admiration.
But isn’t there another meaning of the Unicorn, which is perfection?
Like a pure and undefiled virgin,
Like the Son who never sinned.
A completely flawless person.
"Mo Yan, what do you think?"
"Of course Xuerou is wrong. How can you violate the rules? Everything must be based on the overall situation. Lin Xuerou, you are not qualified to say this. I am the head coach of the Unicorn Horse!" Mo Yan roared.
It was the first time for both Schubert and Mo Yan to see Xuerou being so persistent, which really surprised him. Normally, no matter how naughty Xuerou was in front of Mo Yan and Schubert, she would be as obedient as a little sheep, not like this. Just like a crazed chimpanzee.
"Yes, yes, yes, I don't understand what you mean by putting the overall situation first! I just want... if "Magic Girl" is not performed by our Unicorn, it would be meaningless! Unless we Everyone can go to Japan, otherwise there is no need to talk!" Xuerou shouted: "By the way, where is Teacher Zhou! If he is here, he will definitely try his best to keep the places for all of us!"
"By the way, why don't you ask Zhou Guodong to discuss such a big matter?" Schubert asked.
"He's dealing with fundraising," Mo Yan said.
"That's it..." Xuerou lowered her eyes and said softly.
"Fundraising? All the funds for this performance will be borne by the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government. Do we still need to raise funds?" Schubert said.
Having said that, because Japan’s itinerary is so busy, everyone hopes to have one more day to go shopping. It is rare to go abroad once, no, this is even the first and last opportunity for these poor students to go abroad in their lives.
But... everyone knows the economic level of the members of Unicorn.
In the past few days, Zhou Guodong, as the "vice principal", has been traveling among various government departments, applying for welfare subsidies for each team member, lobbying the school board of directors, and conducting fundraising activities on campus.
He also solicited a wish list from all the students in the school, and promised that if funds allowed, the team members could help them buy some souvenirs, or go to certain scenic spots, put their photos, or do something to symbolize their visit. .
"Xue Rou, think about it, if we reduce our quota to twenty, wouldn't that be enough?" Mo Yan said.
"In the final analysis, do you support me because of money issues, or because you obey me... Mo Yan, I want to hear your truest thoughts from the bottom of your heart." Schubert asked Mo Yan.
"I……"
"However, you have to be careful what you say. If you conceal your true thoughts at all, you will end up like your apprentice and will be expelled forever, master. You can continue to work with me, but you no longer have it. Accept my qualification as a personal trainer." Schubert said coldly, with a serious and rigorous expression.
When Schubert asked this question, Li Moyan was confused.
For a moment, even Li Moyan, who was usually the calmest, was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Schubert is not just a musician, he is also a military musician who has received formal military training. He can do it through simple lip reading and micro-expression lie detection.
"I agree with Xuerou's idea. Make sure we have enough quota first, and then consider adding foreign aid." Li Moyan said.
"With the level of the Unicorn Horse, can it represent the country? Can it represent Hong Kong?" Schubert said coldly.
"We don't need to represent the country or Hong Kong, we just need to represent myself." Mo Yan took a hard breath and said this.
She never thought that one day she would contradict Schubert like Xuerou.
"But...such a performance is not perfect at all."
"If it is done too perfectly, then it is truly imperfect." Mo Yan retorted: "If the girl herself is the one who is admired by everyone, a flawless school beauty, a top student, and a wealthy second generation, then she really needs to be "Magic Girl"? If you want to pursue perfection, just let the national team Chilong go out to perform, why bother to come to us Unicorn!"
Mo Yan's words were a great inspiration to both Schubert and Xuerou.
"Senior Sister..."
"No, I am not your senior sister. Now I am the head coach of the Unicorn Horse."
A show that doesn’t aim for perfection?
Schubert smiled softly. He thought of that crazy woman, Principal Chen Nanfang, who had said the same thing more than ten years ago.
There was no Red Dragon at that time. After winning the Hong Kong championship, the Unicorn Horse immediately prepared for the Asian Cup and World Cup.
At that time, it was the first time that Schubert led a band that he was not very optimistic about to participate in an international competition.
He used to be in Vienna, Italy, and led the Holy King's Crusaders, the silver band of the Vienna Conservatory of Music. The former is the world's top music school, while the latter is just a special school for reforming criminals.
At that time, he nervously prepared a new set of more difficult footwork patterns. As a result, everyone was miserable.
Chen Nanfang was very worried when she saw the sad faces on the team members' faces. After asking, it turned out that it was Schubert's too serious training that made everyone unable to bear it.
"I know you are very worried and want to try your best to help everyone achieve results, but... I think playing music is the happiest thing in the world for everyone, but if you take away something that is already very happy, If it becomes very unhappy, doesn’t it lose its original meaning?”
Schubert still remembered what Chen Nanfang said, and he adjusted the entire Asian Cup 4 songs again. He no longer aims at the highest requirements and perfection, but instead allows the players to participate more easily and immersedly.
When he looked at Xuerou's expression, he felt very similar to the educator he had longed for.
They all have the same beliefs, the same beliefs, the same obsessions, dreams, and ambitions.
"Documents No. 20~22 will be more watery...3 Yang, cry."
