Chapter 236: There is always someone better

An Zhixia did not change her clothes. She chuckled and saluted the old artists. The dim light gave her a soft color. She looked elegant and gentle, like a noble girl who had appeared in a painting thousands of years ago, or like a famous actor who had always lived in this luxurious theater. She was so beautiful that it made people's scalps tingle.

The old artists quickly stood up and returned her greetings, praising her endlessly: "Teacher Xiao An, your singing voice is so beautiful! It makes us old fellows look so shallow!"

An Zhixia smiled and said, "I have a strong ability to imitate. I have only learned these few sentences. I am showing off my skills in front of the masters. I hope you don't laugh at me."

After sending the person away, she returned to the microphone in her costume with a calm expression: "How was the performance I just performed? Did anyone find any mistakes?"

The crowd shook their heads and praised her non-stop. Even the few people who had stood up to speak earlier shut their mouths in annoyance, having to admit that in addition to being pretty and young, An Zhixia had real talent.

"Since there is no such thing, you will have to obey my command from now on. This is what we agreed on before. If anyone continues to fool around, he will have to leave this studio! Do you understand?"

“I heard it!”

An Zhixia, wearing makeup that made it hard to tell her age, began to direct the rehearsal with Director Hu. She had been through a lot in the industry, and what urgent and important notices had she not taken? Besides, it was not her who was training, but she was training others, so what was she doing? Naturally, she turned the troupe into a devilish training camp with a cold and pretty face, and worked hard to tap the potential of the performers.

She is experienced and familiar with the training secrets of her mentors. She breaks down and reshapes this group of young people with lofty ambitions, helping them to focus on the details bit by bit, often needing to demonstrate in person.

An Zhixia is the one who truly understands that there are always people better than you!

Singing, dancing, playing various musical instruments and performing, nothing is difficult for her.

Gradually, everyone was deeply attracted to this treasure girl, and felt ashamed of themselves for being complacent with their small achievements.

This was a rare opportunity, and everyone worked extra hard, absorbing An Zhixia's skills like a sponge. This was a hammer from the 21st century, breaking their thinking, performance, and cognitive patterns in every aspect, almost touching the true meaning of art.

The usual training is boring, but An Zhixia has poured the fierce PK mode of the group competition into every day, such as battles between equally famous performance groups, between the same type of programs, or by drawing lots, which spurs them to train without relaxation and to find their own shortcomings in time. For this reason, she has also designed very attractive prizes, such as the script she personally tailored for the troupe, the opportunity to get a month of private training to improve business capabilities, and a fashion appreciation book.

Any of these can help them stand out from other performance troupes and maintain their mainstay position in their own troupe!

Think about the Yongyi Performing Arts Troupe that was once at its peak. Everyone's eyes were red with excitement. It was only a ten-day training session, and they had to grit their teeth and persevere. After all, there was an Artist's Excellent Quality Booklet as a diligence award.

The theater was big enough, and the weather was warm, so they didn't want to waste time commuting every day. So they applied for a big bunk bed and lived there directly. They got up at five or six in the morning to practice basic skills, and accepted the tasks assigned by An Zhixia at eight o'clock. After dinner, they went through all 22 programs, waited for An Zhixia and the activity team to comment, and then went back to sleep together, exhausted.

An Zhiqiu and Fang Hongye came twice during the period, but the girl was very busy, so she just accompanied them for a meal and continued to work. They could only help her dry her bedding, clean up, and then use the troupe kitchen to cook two good dishes. They also secretly bought two kilograms of strawberries on the black market and placed them on her table. After leaving a message for An Zhixia, they looked outside the performance hall for a while before leaving together.

Although the performance group competition format has changed, the performance for outstanding employees of each unit on the weekend of April 1st has not changed. An Zhixia specially reserved two tickets in the middle of the third row for her brother and sister-in-law.

After lunch, everyone started to get busy preparing for the evening rehearsal, which will have a 30% chance of determining their final ranking.

As the sun gradually set, all the lights from the theater gate to the studio were turned on. Against the backdrop of the red hollow lampshades, it looked like a long red carpet.

The audience were dressed in smart and elegant clothes, and came together with joy on their faces.

The spring performance group competition is recorded by the TV station during the official performance and broadcast to the national audience in the form of live broadcast and replay. Their unit will organize employees to watch it. Because they watch it many times every year, they don’t have much expectations in their hearts, but they feel proud and honored to participate in this viewing activity as a representative of the unit’s workers.

When they found their seats according to their tickets and sat down, they realized that the stage was different from usual.

I post as much as I write~^_^
