Qin Ran asked Liu Yiyi to go to bed early.
But after confirming that she would go see Professor Shi tomorrow, the anxious Liu Yiyi had no desire to sleep.
Qin Ran simply didn't sleep and chatted with Liu Yiyi to relieve his tension.
"Professor Shi is so amazing and she's your idol. Have you ever imitated her?"
"Yes, I have. Professor Shi once performed on the Spring Festival Gala. But I was still young at that time."
“Is there a video?”
“You should be able to find it online.”
"Look for it, and then look for the Silk Road Flower Rain you mentioned."
"Okay, I'll look for it."
The two of them lay together and enjoyed the performance.
"I used to think Silk Road Flower Rain was a solo dance, but it turns out it's not."
"Of course it's not a solo, it's a ballet."
"What's the story?"
Liu Yiyi said skillfully, "There are caravans from many countries on the Silk Road. The old painter's daughter is called Yingniang. She saved a merchant on the way, but was later kidnapped by bandits and turned into a kabuki in the opera troupe.
The rescued merchant redeemed Yingniang, and father and daughter were reunited. The painter created his masterpiece, Yue Tian, the Pipa-playing Girl, based on Yingniang's dancing posture.
Later, war broke out, and Yingniang and her husband sought refuge, returning to their homeland many years later. But the painter died on the way.
After telling the general story, Liu Yiyi added, "You might not feel much from what I've said, but you should just read it. It's just quite long."
Qin Ran nodded. "It sounds like this journey hasn't been easy. In less than ten years, I've experienced setbacks that most people wouldn't encounter in their entire lives."
"Yes. Life has its ups and downs, so it's not easy to play the role of Yingniang well. Especially because you have to portray the different experiences and feelings at each stage."
"Indeed. Professor Shi is amazing!"
"That's right, otherwise she wouldn't be the third generation Yingniang."
"Maybe you'll become the next generation of Yingniang."
"I hope so."
Liu Yiyi understands the value of this identity better than Qin Ran. It is very difficult.
Qin Ran and Liu Yiyi then stayed together until late at night.
After reading it, Qin Ran had only one feeling.
This is the living Dunhuang murals, a feast of beautiful art!
When I watched it before, I just thought the dancing was graceful and beautiful.
But considering the background of the story and Liu Yiyi's explanation, Qin Ran was able to understand it.
To reach the top level in a certain field is extremely impressive.
Qin Ran no longer casually said that Liu Yiyi could surpass Professor Shi.
This is the respect we deserve for Professor Shi.
But you still have to have aspirations.
After all, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
Someone wants to be the next Ying Niang, and he is better than his teacher. Professor Shi must be happy to see it.
In the evening, the two watched videos for a long time and chatted for nearly an hour before going to bed.
Qin Ran hugged Liu Yiyi before going to sleep.
"Bring your clothes and shoes tomorrow. Professor Shi might test you."
"When you say that, I'm getting nervous again."
"Don't be nervous, you're the best!!"
Liu Yiyi hugged Qin Ran tightly, "Thank you for helping me get this opportunity."
"You're being polite to me again. Don't do that again. Got it?"
"Hmm~"
"Don't move. Go to sleep, recharge your batteries, and perform well tomorrow."
"I'll just leave it there and not move."
"That won't work either."
"Then put me on top."
"Okay."
. . .
Liu Yiyi is very smart. Qin Ran went to have dinner with a client yesterday, and she received an interview invitation today.
In the evening, he said that through a friend's introduction, he had the opportunity to consult Professor Shi.
How could Liu Yiyi not guess the connection between these things?
As long as you are not a fool and your emotional intelligence is not negative, you can guess it.
Opportunities are hard to come by, and Liu Yiyi secretly told herself that she must work hard.
Not only do I have to perform well in front of Professor Shi tomorrow, but I can't make any mistakes in subsequent interviews.
Liu Yiyi closed her eyes, but still couldn't sleep.
She simply practiced imagination in her mind and selected suitable music and dance dramas.
After practicing dance for more than ten years, there are many options to choose from.
But you need to find a really suitable one, and it would be best to have a backup one to prevent any accidents.
I don’t know how long it took before Liu Yiyi fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, they both got up early.
The actual appointment time was in the evening, but both of them couldn't fall asleep after waking up.
Qin Ran simply took Liu Yiyi out to have breakfast, take a walk, and relax.
The closer the exam is, the more you need to keep a calm mind.
What Professor Shi wants to test is not the overnight achievements, but Liu Yiyi’s efforts over the years.
A tense body cannot perform graceful dance.
So what Liu Yiyi needs to do most now is to relax.
Seeing that Liu Yiyi had lost her usual liveliness, Qin Ran couldn't help laughing, "Smile, don't be so serious, otherwise if Professor Shi sees you, he'll think you were forced."
"ah?!"
"Just kidding. Relax, you've been practicing for so long, just show Professor Shi the dances you practice every day."
"I know, but I can't help it. I never used to be like this."
"Maybe you'll be nervous when you see your idol?"
"Maybe."
"If it doesn't work, I'll go up and dance a song for you to play supporting role."
"Don't. Teacher Shi will be angry."
"What do you mean?" Qin Ran feigned anger. "Are you saying my dancing is ugly? Maybe Professor Shi will take me in as his disciple after seeing my extraordinary talent."
Liu Yiyi was amused, "Then we are senior and junior brothers and sisters."
"Call me brother and let me hear it."
"Senior Brother~"
"Do it again."
