Chapter 406: Your failure to work hard and your failure to take it seriously
The next morning, I rushed to attend the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala again.
As soon as the two nanny cars were parked one after the other, the media and members of the fan club could be seen waiting at the door.
Lin Pin'er got off the car openly and asked Zijuan to give the prepared gifts to her fans. When I got home yesterday, I saw the gifts they gave to Lin Pin'er. Xie Yaning collected them and gave them to Wang Xifeng to bring back. So Lin Pin'er prepared a return gift, and the media friends also got some benefits.
Each person received a canvas backpack from the cultural and creative store, which contained a thermos cup printed with moly&noly cartoon patterns, a hand warmer, and some small peripheral gifts.
Zijuan was handing out bags to everyone, and Lin Pin'er shouted to them from a distance, "Go home early, it's cold today. We may have to rehearse until very late, don't wait!"
The media reporters who received the gifts thanked him repeatedly, saying that they had to wait. The fans shouted back, "Moly, take care of yourself and don't get too tired!"
"Go back quickly!" Lin Pin'er shouted. She saw Zhang Han in the crowd, waved at him, and made a gesture for him to organize everyone to go back.
After the members of the girl band walked into the yard and disappeared, Zhang Han led everyone in a line to go back.
Someone in the crowd who was still waiting was discussing, "Whose fans are so obedient? They're lining up to leave?"
Someone answered: "I know, they are Moly's fans. Her fans are very obedient. It is said that the fan club is well managed..."
"It makes me want to be her fan too. I just saw there are gifts to be won..."
"Just for a gift?" A look of contempt followed.

Director Mi fell in love with Lin Pin'er from the bottom of his heart only after getting to know her. This girl is hard-working and never complains about being tired during rehearsals. She is not impetuous after becoming famous. On the contrary, she brings something for everyone every time she comes, either a drink or a hand warmer.
What Director Mi admired most was her professional level. I heard that this girl was still in college, but she could write gongche notation. Rehearsals and program content design and adaptation were no problem. Another point was that she was very good at using resources. Today, she specially brought a girl to teach the lead dancers how to move.
Lin Pin'er invited Guan Rui to teach the body movements, because the dancers had not learned opera body movements, but the show required a performance of some excerpts from the opera "The Story of Handan" at the beginning, so Lin Pin'er invited Guan Rui to help teach her how to sweep the flowers in the opera performance.
As soon as Guan Rui picked up the broom, her figure immediately emerged. In her hand, the long broom became graceful, like a magical instrument of an immortal. While she was demonstrating, she explained to the lead dancer:
"At the beginning, the broom is dragged out, but our posture should be graceful. Pay attention to the footsteps, first take small steps, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, don't hesitate, walk directly to the position you want to fix, and the footsteps must be quick and decisive.
Also, holding the broom like this will make you look slender. There are also some rules for sweeping fallen petals: sweep to the left of the stage, with your body facing the audience. Don't really sweep, just sweep without sweeping, and be gentle, don't let the petals fly up. Look, pay attention to your posture."
The female lead dancer immediately followed suit. Although she didn't have a broom in her hands, she was able to learn the moves very quickly because of her solid basic skills.
"Hey, not bad. Just sweep it, and then slowly move to the center of the stage. At this time, you are the protagonist. Don't worry about them. Just be beautiful, appreciate, wipe the sweat... You can perform these skit actions freely.
I'll show you how to do it: just use the broom as a prop, look to the left first, pick it up and then look back." Guan Rui taught almost all of her performance skills to the lead dancer, and the artistic conception came out immediately.
Lin Pin'er, who was standing on the side of the stage, discussed with Director Mi, "I thought it would be best if the curtain was transparent. At the beginning, the light was a little gray and misty. When I finished singing the first verse, the light turned into a light grass green. I want that kind of tender green light to match the pink peach blossoms in the background to look good."
Director Mi nodded and indicated that they should prepare according to what she said, and the dancers should rehearse it a few more times, and the musicians should come on stage and rehearse it together to see where any modifications should be made.
What Wang Xifeng was worried about happened that evening. Perhaps it was because everyone was relaxed and reunited with their families yesterday, and some people even partied all night long, so they were slack when they came to rehearsal the next day.
To be honest, rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala are really hard, especially for some dancers, because they have to control their weight and eat less, so their bodies are definitely overwhelmed by the high-intensity rehearsals. In addition, because they went home to celebrate the Little New Year, they played with friends late at night and had no energy the next day, and some even had hangovers, so everyone was not in good shape.
When Wang Xifeng came to deliver food boxes to Lin Pin'er and the others, she saw Director Mi holding a microphone and comforting the dancers.
Wang Xifeng stood and watched for three minutes. She admired Director Mi as a woman who could bend and stretch herself.
"I know everyone is working very hard. We all pass by the countdown sign outside every day, and we all know that the live broadcast will begin in a few days. I hope everyone will grit their teeth and persevere. We must persevere to the end." Director Mi paused for a moment, pointed to the control room at the back and continued:
"It's hard work. Everyone has worked hard. Every staff member has worked hard, including our lighting teacher, audio teacher, and those in charge of the stage, our wirework technicians. Everyone has worked hard.
Last night I saw in the group that your parents were also worried about you every day, and they checked in on time every day in the group: I wish you a smooth performance, good rehearsal, etc....
How can we perform smoothly? We need to practice more and rehearse with full concentration. If we don't take rehearsal seriously, then I won't see the effect of your live broadcast. Take a dance program for example. If one person doesn't raise his arm properly, then our rehearsal today is invalid. It's useless to practice the wrong movements a hundred times.
You don’t want me to replace one of you or the whole show before the performance. Then I would like to ask, do you feel sorry for it? Do your parents and family members feel sorry for it? Maybe your parents have already informed all the aunts and uncles a few months ago: My child will be on the Spring Festival Gala!
As a result, because of your one time of not working hard, not taking it seriously, or not persisting, you were forced to go home. Isn't that a pity?"
Wang Xifeng had long anticipated that such a day would come. The more people there are, the harder it is to manage. If one person slacks off, others will follow suit. However, Director Mi's method was very good. He was strict at the beginning, but played the emotional card on the eve of the performance, empathizing with the actors and keeping these children obedient.
