Everyone was excited, not expecting to receive such high praise from Commander Du.
These days of hard work have not been in vain.
Yu Xiuzhi was furious; she never expected that they would actually produce a stage play.
"There's one more group." Du Ruofang already had the answer in her mind, but there was still one group that hadn't performed yet, and she had to be fair and impartial.
The last group of family members to go on stage were very nervous when they saw how well Zhou Hongying's group performed in the play and how they even received praise from Director Du.
In the end, they stopped performing altogether without finishing.
Du Ruofang announced directly: "The Red Detachment of Women wins this performance in the family compound."
"Very good."
"It's us."
Everyone was very happy.
Although Yu Xiuzhi was unconvinced, she wasn't blind; their performance was indeed better.
"The families of the Red Detachment of Women can stay, but the other families can leave." Du Ruofang had this idea after watching the play.
Yu Xiuzhi left with a cold face, clearly unwilling to accept the situation.
Du Ruofang looked at everyone and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is still about ten days away, and your performance still has many shortcomings. I will guide you in the coming days."
She is the head of the Southern Military Region's cultural troupe, and she attaches great importance to this Mid-Autumn Festival gala, as a high-ranking leader will be attending.
The families' performances must also be presentable and not bring shame to the military region.
Everyone was startled.
They didn't expect Commander Du to say that.
Ran Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she didn't understand drama. It would be great if Director Du could give her some guidance.
“You’ll start rehearsing at the performing arts troupe this afternoon,” Du Ruofang added.
"ah."
Everyone stared wide-eyed.
They never imagined that one day they would be rehearsing in a performing arts troupe.
Du Ruofang looked at them again, her gaze landing on Ran Jinnian: "Who is Ran Jinnian?"
"I am Ran Jinnian."
Ran Jinnian spoke.
Du Ruofang looked at the young woman with a big belly in front of her. Although she was pregnant, her clothes and appearance were eye-catching.
Her tone held a hint of approval: "Your story is wonderful."
"This is not a story, but the martyrs of our nation." Ran Jinnian's work is based on historical figures.
Du Ruofang knew that she was highly educated, considering that she could write such a story: "Did you direct their rehearsals?"
"It was the result of the joint efforts of my sisters-in-law and me."
Ran Jin is modest.
"Commander Du, it was Jin Nian who instructed us. Without her, we wouldn't have been able to perform like this."
"Jin Nian is exceptionally talented."
Everyone started to speak.
"You studied drama before?" Du Ruofang asked curiously.
Ran Jinnian shook her head: "No, I've only seen a stage play."
"Then you are very talented."
Du Ruofang thought this was a promising talent for the performing arts troupe, but unfortunately she was already married.
Du Ruofang nodded: "You are the soul of everyone. Without you, this story would not have been born."
Everyone felt that Commander Du was indeed worthy of being a commander; his way of speaking was truly unique.
Although they didn't quite understand, they knew it was a compliment to Ran Jinnian.
Ran Jinnian wasn't being modest; if she were, it would seem insincere: "Thank you for the compliment, Commander Du."
She thought of Du Ruofang's instructions to them: "Commander Du, we can find some male comrades to play the Japanese soldier."
She remembered that there were men in the performing arts troupe, so she didn't mention Lu Jinyuan.
really.
Du Ruofang considered this when watching the performance: "There are male soldiers in the troupe, they can play the Japanese soldiers."
