But this kind of thing was obviously not within the scope of the director's consideration. The director was also a person who didn't mind watching a good show. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged for Wang Jiaer to wake these people up.
"Yesterday, we experienced the magnificent Yellow River." The director held a megaphone and said, "Today, we will experience the unique folk customs of northern Shaanxi together — dancing Yangko and playing waist drums."
As soon as the director's voice fell, a very sharp whistle came from who knows where. Everyone was startled and covered their ears to look in the direction of the whistle.
Then a burst of drums sounded. With the sound of the drums, several people ran over happily.
These men were wearing black cloth shoes, blue trousers, white shirts and blue vests. There was a blue belt around their waist and the pattern on their lapels was also blue. They all wore white headscarves and held blue drumsticks in their hands.
With the sound of the drums, they ran out from behind the bungalow in a neat line.
Behind the leading men were women wearing blue and white gradient trousers. They wore blue tops with white sleeves and blue accessories on their heads. They also held a huge dustpan in their hands.
They danced to the cheerful music, which immediately awakened the enthusiasm of the brothers group. They unconsciously swayed to the rhythm of the music, and the sleepiness had long disappeared.
At this moment, Wang Jiaer's heart must be very bitter. The director had a hundred ways to wake them up, but he chose to let the innocent him do it. What kind of hatred did he have with the director? If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have come today. Wouldn't it have been better to stay at home?
Just as everyone was watching the blue team perform a dance that was very characteristic of Northern Shaanxi, a new musical instrument was suddenly added. This time, the sound came from the opposite direction.
Everyone couldn't help but look back at the source of the sound. From the other side came a red team. The men were wearing white clothes with red edges and white headscarves. The only difference was that there was a small white ball on their headscarves. They had long red ribbons tied around their waists and a red waist drum pinned to their waists. They jumped with big strides to the music.
This was the first time that everyone had seen the Northern Shaanxi waist drum perform in front of their eyes. They were all very surprised and also applauded excitedly, as if the lifeless and sleepy people just now were not them at all.
The members of the Waist Drum Team danced to the beat of the drums and shouted in unison, "Hey! Hey! Hey! "
Infected by their emotions, the Brotherhood members also shouted, "Hey! Hey! Hey! "
However, none of them knew the steps of the dance, so they could only shake their upper bodies along with them.
If this was compared to the line dancing aunties, it would definitely not lose out. Moreover, it was very likely that it would quickly become popular all over the world.
Team Red was jumping around passionately. Team Blue naturally refused to admit defeat and twisted even harder. Li Cheng could tell that they were secretly competing and said, "Both sides are doing an awkward dance."
"Awkward dance! Awkward dance! "The brothers began to jeer.
The red and blue teams each sent out a representative. The two of them faced each other in a circle, and neither of them was willing to admit defeat.
"Hehehe! Hehehe! Hehehehe! Hehehehe! " The people on both sides shouted in unison, cheering for their respective representatives. The group of people finished their dance aggressively and shouted loudly, "Hey!" Then they struck an ending pose.
This kind of momentum was too uplifting. Everyone could not help but applaud. The applause lasted for a long time. It was too uplifting.
Amidst the noisy applause and cheers, the director came out to control the situation again. "Okay, let's welcome our two teams again. As precious folk culture, the Yangko and the waist drum should have more opportunities to be displayed all over the country. Today, we have specially prepared a travel award for our fellow villagers. They hope that you can join their team. Fight for them and win the award. Next, we will invite the two team leaders to choose their favorite team members. Fight for them. "
What was different from the past was that this time, it was not the director's team, nor were they free to form teams. Instead, the representatives of their fellow villagers had to choose their favorite team members.
This was closely related to fame.
Wang Jiaer was a little depressed. These people probably would not choose her, unlike them who were big stars. If no one wanted her, wouldn't it be very embarrassing? Could it be that she wanted to form a team by herself?
In fact, not being chosen was not embarrassing. If the two teams pushed each other around, that would be the most embarrassing. She hoped that this kind of thing would not happen.
Next was the time to choose the team members. The two team leaders were the two who had just walked out of the crowd and danced awkwardly.
These two were also the leaders of the waist drum team and the Yangko team in their daily lives. Although they were middle-aged, their bodies were not worse than the young men.
Of course, it was not that they were unwilling to let go of the position of team leader. It was just that there was no successor. Now, there were more pop dances, and fewer people learned folk dances. Moreover, it was a local dance, so there were even fewer people who learned it.
Their team was now in a situation where there was a shortage of young people. They were either middle-aged or about to retire, or there were a few children. The children also became interested in learning after watching the adults dance at home. When they grew up and went out to see the world, it was a question whether they would continue to dance.
Those who worked hard would buy their own businesses in the big cities after they became successful. They would bring their relatives to the big cities to settle down. Therefore, there were fewer and fewer people here.
Some of the elderly and children who stayed were the pillars of the family. They also hoped that one day they could go out of the mountains and live outside, especially to fight for a better education for their children.
There was also a portion of them who refused to leave their hometowns even though their children had already achieved meteoric success and could live a carefree life. They only asked their children to send money to them every month. Some of them didn't even need to send money and could live a good life on their own.
Some people would also leave their children in the mountains after they made money because the people in the mountains were simple. It was much better to let their children live in such an environment from a young age than to live in a fast-paced and impersonal metropolis. However, these children would be taken away when they reached the age of school. ,,,,.
