When these words were spoken, not only were Tang Yueru and Qu Jingyun stunned, even the troupe leader Liang Jinchun had not expected that such a good thing would happen to the Ning City Art Troupe.
Their Ning City Art Troupe's program will represent the entire province in the first Spring Festival Gala of Beijing Television?
If this succeeds, it will be such a great honor and achievement!
Liang Jinchun was stunned for only a second, then he immediately stood up excitedly, shook ** Ling's hand and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude:
"Thank you, thank you for the recognition and trust from the leadership! We will definitely live up to the leadership's expectations and continue to polish this program meticulously, striving to bring honor to our Jiangsu Province!"
Tang Yueru's face flushed with excitement, and she kept thanking Liang Jinchun. At this moment, even Qu Jingyun, who had been feeling irritable for a while, felt relaxed all over, as if something good had happened.
The other actors in the art troupe were extremely envious when they heard the news. Many of them regretted that they had not prepared their programs carefully and thoroughly enough. If they had known there was such a good opportunity, they would have gone without food or sleep to come up with a better program.
"Xiao Tang, right? You have good business skills. Keep it up!"
** Ling nodded to Tang Yueru with satisfaction, then stood up and prepared to leave:
"Secretary Wang will be in charge of reviewing the next program. I'll go report this good news to Director Xing first, and hurry up to get our program up to Beijing City Television."
Liang Jinchun also stood up immediately and said to Qu Jingyun:
"You accompany Secretary Wang to continue the program assessment. I will accompany the leader to the office to make a phone call to report on the work."
Qu Jingyun was very unhappy. It was obvious that Tang Yueru was a talent that she had worked so hard to recruit. Why should Liang Jinchun take credit for the good things to the provincial art troupe leader, while she could only stay here and continue working? It was so unfair!
But she could only complain silently in her heart, not daring to show her dissatisfaction in person. Instead, she had to pretend to be knowledgeable and agreed:
"Okay, Liang Tuan, don't worry. Leave the rest of the assessment work to me. You can go and work with the leader first!"
Liang Jinchun accompanied ** Ling to the office to make a phone call, and the next program assessment continued.
With Tang Yueru's performance as a good example, the next two performances seemed too stereotyped, rigid and mediocre. They had no appeal to Secretary Wang, who had watched too many shows. He frowned and wrote two "passes" on the evaluation form.
The actors of those two programs looked depressed. According to the assessment standards of previous years, their two programs would at least get a "good" grade. Today, they were just unlucky and happened to be ranked after Tang Yueru's program. Wouldn't such a comparison lower the judges' impression scores?
Tang Yueru was not in a hurry to leave after her performance. She had not been there long and did not have a deep understanding of the level of the actors in the Ning City Art Troupe. She wanted to take advantage of this assessment opportunity to find out if there was anyone among them who could pose a threat to her.
As a result, from the beginning to now, the smile on her face became more and more contemptuous. The level of these people was not good enough in front of her!
Secretary Wang patiently went through the remaining programs on the stack of evaluation forms in his hand one by one. Except for a few programs that received a "good" grade, most of the other programs only received a "passing" grade. For a moment, the atmosphere in the rehearsal room was extremely low.
On the other hand, Tang Yueru's face was full of satisfaction——
It turned out that in the Qi City Art Troupe, she was just an ordinary little actress. There were many people who were better than her in terms of professional ability and prettier than her. Even if she waited until she was old and ugly, she would never be able to get promoted.
So, unwilling to be mediocre, she mustered up the courage to accept Qu Jingyun's invitation and took the unknown risk of leaving her hometown to come to the Ning City Art Troupe, which was far less famous in the system than her old employer.
She would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. She is tired of being ignored. She prefers the current state of being the center of attention.
The more mediocre the people in the Ning City Art Troupe are, the more noticeable her presence will be, and the more attention she will get from the troupe leaders. These are what she cares about.
Secretary Wang flipped through the evaluation form in his hand and found that there was a program on the evaluation form that had not been performed. He asked Qu Jingyun beside him:
"Deputy Director Qu, have you prepared two solo performances for the art troupe? And there's also a 'My Deskmate' performance. Whose performance is it?"
Qu Jingyun immediately put on a fake smile. She knew who the solo performance was.
"That program was prepared before Xiao Tang came. Now that we have Xiao Tang's program, we don't need this one anymore. Besides, the actress for that program is not on duty today. It's her own fault that she missed the assessment. You've worked hard all afternoon, too. Let me take you back to the guesthouse to rest!"
Secretary Wang was a little hesitant. Without the results of this assessment, the actor would most likely be dismissed for failing to meet the standards in the year-end evaluation.
He had followed Deputy Director Peng to several cities before and knew that she was an extremely serious and responsible person. Even if some of the performances of the art troupes were bad, she would insist on watching them to the end.
If Deputy Head Peng knew that he left before finishing the show, he might be severely criticized.
Secretary Wang frowned, but still asked:
"Could you please notify this actress and ask her to come over quickly? I can wait for her for a while."
"We're leaving early tomorrow morning. If she misses the exam, I'm afraid her year-end evaluation will be problematic."
But he didn't know that this was exactly the effect Qu Jingyun wanted.
Qu Jingyun hid the smile in his eyes, pretended to be a little sad and said:
"Isn't it? I've been promoting the importance of this assessment in the group, but there's always someone who likes to get special treatment and leaves without even asking for leave. We can't contact her now. We originally wanted to give her another chance to take the assessment out of our appreciation for her talent, but who knew she would..."
"Thank you, Vice Captain Qu, for giving me the opportunity. I'm back!"
A clear and crisp voice came from the back door.
Everyone turned around and found that Shao Jingque, who had not been seen for a long time, was standing in the corner of the back door, waving at everyone with a smile on his face.
Wu Shuang, who was standing in the corner waiting to pack up the props, immediately had tears in her eyes when she saw her. She threw away the things in her hands, ran towards her, hugged her and burst into tears.
After seeing the person's face clearly, Tang Yueru, who was originally smiling, froze.
She had seen this face before. It was a huge photo that took up half the size of a newspaper posted in the center of Ning City’s cultural propaganda column. The smiling soloist in the photo was her, Shao Jingque!
Why is she back at this time?!
