In the afternoon.
Two o'clock.
In the car, Zhang Ye looked at the new program list in his hands as he led the group to the next location.
"Have you informed them?"
"I've informed them."
"Alright, then hurry up."
"Dancing this time?"
"Yeah, there's a dance show that's lacking good performers."
"Weren't the dancers in the first trial very good? They are the best in the country. "
"They can't."
"Uh, okay."
…
China Song and Dance Troupe.
The dance club was in a mess. There were people running around everywhere, and the place was bustling with noise. It was as lively as one could imagine.
"Where's team two?"
"Hurry up!"
"Where's the leader?"
"Call Little Zhou over quickly!"
"Team Three, stand in front!"
"Everyone, perk up! The Spring Festival Gala production team will be here soon!"
The notice that the Spring Festival Gala's production team would be coming to the Song and Dance Troupe to select their members had just been received, so they were completely unprepared. The moment they received the news, the Song and Dance Troupe's leaders called for an emergency meeting and placed great importance on this matter. They immediately instructed everyone to fully cooperate with the Spring Festival Gala's organizing committee. Deputy Leader Sun Jie even received a military order and assured the leaders that the Song and Dance Troupe's dance troupe would definitely have someone on the stage for this year's Spring Festival Gala!
The program in the first approval session was rejected!
This was their only chance!
Sun Jie was busy directing the dance troupe. She shouted, "Everyone, listen up! Whether we can get on the Spring Festival Gala is our dance troupe's last hope. Everyone, you've been practicing for so long, and today is the day of the big test. Give it your all and we must get it!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes, Regiment Commander Sun!"
"I will definitely complete the mission!"
Everyone said in a loud and clear voice.
Only the team standing at the side did not make a sound.
The leading teacher was called Qi Xiaomei. She was also very anxious. Looking at the expectant gazes of the girls behind her, she gritted her teeth and quietly pulled a few children forward.
As a result, Sun Jie noticed it. "Teacher Qi, what are you doing?"
Qi Xiaomei bit the bullet and said: "We, we also want to — —"
"Aiyo, that's enough. You guys don't add to the mess." Sun Jie waved her hand. "You guys stand back. Where is Team Five? Team Five, come to the front. My little ladies, why are you still posing at this time? This is the Spring Festival Gala. The Spring Festival Gala, the biggest stage in the country! "
The people from Team Five hurriedly squeezed forward.
"Excuse me."
"Teacher Qi, can you step back a bit?"
Qi Xiaomei and the others had been pushed to the back, and they stood in a corner where no one was looking, feeling anxious.
A few of the children were signing frantically.
Qi Xiaomei bit her lip and signed for them as well.
After the girls saw this, they all lowered their heads in disappointment.
At this moment, someone shouted.
"He's here!"
"They're here!"
"The Spring Festival Gala production team is here!"
Sun Jie's expression immediately became serious. She brought the leaders of the dance club to welcome them.
Qi Xiaomei tiptoed to look out, and so did the children behind her, but they couldn't see anything. They were too far away.
Over there.
Zhang Ye, Ha Qiqi, and Little Wang came in.
Sun Jie smiled and stretched out her hand. "Director Zhang, I've heard a lot about you. I'm the deputy leader of the Song and Dance Troupe and the person in charge here. I'm in charge of the dance department."
Zhang Ye smiled and shook her hand. "Hello, Regimental Commander Sun. You've worked hard."
Sun Jie said, "It's not hard. It's my job."
Zhang Ye looked suspiciously at the troops behind him. "This is?"
"Oh, these are our dance troupe's teams. They're all the cream of the crop." Sun Jie couldn't hold back her words the moment she spoke. "These are the children of Team 1. Their average age is 22 years old. Their physical fitness and personal qualities are among the best in the country. They've won first prizes in major national competitions and have even won awards overseas. Teacher Wang, what are you waiting for? Show them to the leaders of the Spring Festival Gala's organizing committee!"
Teacher Wang gave the order. "Get ready!"
The men and women of Team 1 immediately started dancing.
Elegant.
Agile.
Everything was done in one go.
Sun Jie smiled and said, "How was it, Director Zhang?"
Zhang Ye nodded. "It was pretty good, but —"
"There's still Team 2!" Sun Jie immediately said, "Team 2's training is more inclined towards classical dance!"
The teacher in charge of Team Two clapped his hands, and the dancers behind him immediately began to perform. It was a very gentle dance, and it was very gentle and beautiful.
Ha Qiqi marveled at it.
Little Wang's horizons were also broadened.
Deputy Regimental Commander Sun was right. These were all the cream of the crop in the country.
Physique?
Strength?
Bearing?
Flexibility?
She couldn't find any fault with them!
Team 3 …
Team 4 …
Team 5 …
At Deputy Regimental Commander Sun's request, everyone started performing one by one.
Qi Xiaomei was getting anxious. She kept stomping her feet and wanted to squeeze forward, but she didn't have the courage to do so.
One of the teams finished their dance.
Sun Jie asked, "Director Zhang, did they do well?"
Zhang Ye nodded. "They did very well. They did very well."
Sun Jie said, "Then which one did you like?"
Zhang Ye paused for a moment and asked, "Is there anyone else?"
"Yes." Sun Jie quickly said, "Teams 8 and 9 haven't performed yet. They're all new kids, so they're not that old. Then there's the reserve team —"
Zhang Ye suddenly looked at an inconspicuous corner. "What about those girls?"
Sun Jie was taken aback. "Them? Oh, they're from the disabled dance team. "
Ha Qiqi was stunned. "Disabled?"
Sun Jie nodded. "They're deaf and mute."
Little Wang said in surprise, "Can deaf and mute people dance too? What if they can't hear the music? "
Sun Jie smiled and said, "You might not know about this, but we have a team leader. Every time the music plays, the team leader will signal to the audience. When the children see the signal, they'll know what to do. It's all from years of training."
Ha Qiqi said in surprise, "Can they really do that?"
Sun Jie said, "Of course they can. These girls might look young, but they've actually been in the troupe for many years. The youngest one is already 20 years old, but it's a pity that they're not as good as the others." She continued, "Director Zhang, why don't I bring the members of Team 8 over for you to see?"
But Zhang Ye looked at the deaf and mute children. "Let them perform?"
"You're curious about how they're going to dance, right? Alright, no problem. "Sun Jie said," Teacher Qi, please show Director Zhang. "
Qi Xiaomei got excited. "Regimental Commander Sun, but what about the music?"
Sun Jie said impatiently, "There's no need for music. Just a simple dance will do."
Ha Qiqi smiled and said, "We're just curious. Sorry to trouble you."
"It's no trouble, no trouble at all." Qi Xiaomei took a deep breath and quickly turned around to signal to the children.
It's finally our turn!
Come on!
Children, come on!
Qi Xiaomei cheered silently in her mind.
In an instant, the dozen or so girls suddenly started dancing.
Qi Xiaomei gestured.
Five of the girls separated from the group.
Qi Xiaomei gestured again.
The girls on the other side also miraculously performed the same gesture in unison!
This was Little Wang's first time seeing deaf-mutes dancing. It was really an eye-opener for her.
Ha Qiqi was also watching with relish.
Only Zhang Ye did not say a word. He stared unblinkingly at each and every one of their movements for a very long time.
The dance was over.
Qi Xiaomei retracted her hands.
The dozen or so deaf-mute dancers all stood still and looked at Zhang Ye eagerly.
Sun Jie smiled and said, "That's roughly how they danced. It's all thanks to Teacher Qi's instructions. Alright, Director Zhang, should I call the members of Team 8 and Team 9 over? You can pick some more. There are many good seedlings among them. "
Qi Xiaomei looked disappointed.
The dozen or so girls also lowered their heads dejectedly.
But Zhang Ye smiled. "There's no need, Regimental Commander Sun. I already have someone in mind."
Sun Jie's eyes lit up. "Oh? Which team? Team 1? Or Team 2? It's fine, just pick whatever you want. We'll do our best to cooperate. "She turned around and immediately called for the members of Team 1 and Team 2.
Qi Xiaomei's team was once again pushed to the back.
Qi Xiaomei bit her lip.
But the next moment, a scene that left everyone dumbfounded appeared!
Zhang Ye strode forward and bypassed the crowd to stand in front of the deaf-mute dancers. "You're the lead teacher? How should I address you? "
Qi Xiaomei was stunned. "I-I'm Qi Xiaomei."
Zhang Ye smiled and nodded. "If you're curious, I have a dance here. The choreography, costumes, movements, and music are all ready-made. I'll give it to you all. If you can practice this dance to my satisfaction before the second approval session for the Spring Festival Gala, then I'll reserve a good spot for you all!"
Dumbfounded!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Sun Jie said dumbfounded, "Director Zhang, we have a more suitable team, you —"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "There's no one more suitable than them."
"But their physical conditions are better than others —" Sun Jie said.
Zhang Ye repeated, "I want them!"
Little Wang said, "Director Zhang, you —"
Zhang Ye interrupted, "There's no need to say anything else. Only they can perform this dance of mine." He looked at Qi Xiaomei and said, "Teacher Qi, there's not much time left for you all. Is that alright?"
Qi Xiaomei covered her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes. "Yes! We can! We can! "She sobbed." Thank you! Thank you! "
The deaf-mute girls still did not understand.
What was going on?
Why was Teacher Qi crying?
The girls who had just realized what was going on hurriedly signaled to Teacher Qi with a questioning look on their faces.
When Qi Xiaomei saw this, she immediately made a long series of hand signals with her trembling hands!
The dozen or so girls were all stunned!
It's us?
It's us?
Director Zhang has chosen us?
The Spring Festival Gala … has chosen us?!
Six or seven girls started crying on the spot!
There were even three girls who screamed and hugged Qi Xiaomei!
"Wu wu wu!"
"Ah wu!"
"Ah wu!"
They could not speak and could only make sounds that no one could understand!
Crying!
Shouting!
Hugging!
Jumping for joy!
The scene at this moment was very shocking!
Qi Xiaomei hugged the children and cried loudly, "You guys are the best! I knew it! I knew you guys were the best! "
Eight years of hard work!
Eight years of waiting!
Eight years of anticipation!
The stage of the Spring Festival Gala had finally arrived!
…
Zhang Ye left as he still had other acts to arrange.
He left Sun Jie and the dance troupe's members staring at each other.
Why?
Why did it have to be them?
Some people were envious!
Some people were jealous!
Some people were sighing!
Qi Xiaomei and the children were still crying. They were still immersed in great joy and could not believe it!
At this moment, Sun Jie shouted angrily, "What are you all doing! Get out! "
Everyone looked at Qi Xiaomei.
Qi Xiaomei was startled. She quickly wiped away her tears and dragged the children outside. "We're going to train right away!"
Sun Jie was taken aback. "So this is the training room? Teacher Qi, where are you going?"
Qi Xiaomei was used to being scolded. When she heard that, she was also taken aback. "Ah?"
Sun Jie looked angrily at the other teams. "I'm talking about you guys! What are you all trying to show me! Can't you see that Teacher Qi and the children are about to train? Do you have any discerning eyes! Hurry up and make room for Teacher Qi! I'm telling you, from today onwards, if anyone dares to disturb Teacher Qi and the others from their dance practice, I'll kick them out! From today onwards, Teacher Qi and the others will be in charge of everything in the dance troupe! "
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Qi Xiaomei was also stunned!
Sun Jie walked over and patted Qi Xiaomei on the shoulder with a pleasant expression. "Teacher Qi, well done. You guys did well. I knew you guys would definitely be able to do it!"
Everyone from Team 1 and Team 2 was nearly in tears.
Damn!
You changed your attitude too quickly!
