Liu Zi's expression was rather unpleasant. This Manager Xu was talking increasingly out of line, and she didn't look rustic at all.
The other person seemed to be using too much force, which made them appear somewhat greasy.
However, Manager Xu is right about one thing: artists do need appropriate packaging, and the most important part of that is their appearance.
Liu Zi suddenly had the idea of opening a clothing store. It seems she needs to take some time to learn how to draw design sketches, otherwise how will she express the beautiful or stylish clothes in her mind?
The others also noticed Liu Zi's displeasure and quickly advised Manager Xu to leave. It wouldn't be good to offend the lyricist and composer before even buying the song.
Liu Zi is in a bad mood and doesn't want to wrong herself, so she simply disappeared the next day.
The child was sent to his maternal grandmother, Liu Mei, for help, while she went to the Beijing Military Region Choir.
Liu Zi was somewhat flattered when Director Zhou personally greeted her at the main gate.
"The commander has spoken. If I make you suffer again this time, I'll probably have to go home and retire."
"Please don't say that, it's not that serious." Liu Zi didn't dare to respond; she wasn't that domineering.
"Director Zhou, I came here today to see how your rehearsal went. You can just have someone take me there."
“I’m in charge of the entire program now, so it’s perfect for me to accompany you, the writer. They’re rehearsing right now, let’s go take a look!” Director Zhou quickly changed the subject, it seemed he was definitely going to spend the day with Liu Zi.
Liu Zi nodded helplessly. Since the car didn't have a pass, she left it outside for the time being and rode in Director Zhou's car.
The military choir and the cultural troupe were together, and Liu Zi saw many handsome men and beautiful women along the way.
"Director Zhou, does your performing arts troupe have any performances for this National Day?" Liu Zi asked curiously.
"This..." Director Zhou hesitated, after all, these things are still in the confidential stage.
"I'm sorry, you don't have to say if you feel uncomfortable. I was just asking casually." Liu Zi suddenly realized that some activities were confidential.
Director Zhou had only subconsciously felt that he couldn't say it, but remembering Liu Zi's identity, he knew she must have signed a confidentiality agreement, so he simply told her directly.
Although she looks young, the leaders all praised her work. If she could guide the troupe's performances and make them even more outstanding, wouldn't that bring honor to their military region?
After figuring this out, Director Zhou's smile widened, and he said he wanted to invite Liu Zi to the art troupe to watch the rehearsals, and it would be even better if she could offer some guidance.
Liu Zi quickly refused, saying it was a joke; they were all professionals, what guidance could she possibly offer?
"It's just a look, don't feel pressured, it's not far anyway." Director Zhou had to persuade him quite a bit before he finally got him to go.
The performers in the cultural troupe were all curious: who was the young woman following Director Zhou?
However, they quickly lost interest in the discussion, and the teacher clapped her hands, asking them to perform it again.
As Liu Zi watched the dancers gracefully performing on stage, she couldn't help but think how worthy they were of being admitted to the military arts troupe!
Her dance skills are truly exceptional; bending over backwards and doing splits are effortless for her.
"This performance was really good. Our Beijing Cultural Troupe is truly amazing," Liu Zi praised, giving a thumbs up.
The performance by the performing arts troupe is already finalized and has passed the review of the organizing committee. Why is she being so nosy?
"There are no outsiders here, so you can speak frankly if you have any suggestions." Director Zhou looked at Liu Zi suspiciously.
"I have no objections! You know my strengths lie in songwriting and composing, so I really can't offer you any good advice on other aspects." Liu Zi shook her head with a hint of shame.
"Alright! Let's go check out the choir then!" Director Zhou felt a little regretful, as he always felt that Liu Zi was keeping things from him!
"Okay!" Liu Zi pretended not to see and walked out with great interest.
The choir's rehearsal hall was crowded with people. Everyone was still getting familiar with the songs, and in particular, they needed to work out the performance style in some areas.
About a hundred people from the two military regions gathered together, and the hall was incredibly noisy.
Director Zhou and Liu Zi were taken to the back office, where several choir teachers were discussing the piece with the conductor.
When they heard that the original composer of the music had arrived, they all looked up and saw only a young woman.
"Let me introduce you. This is Liu Zi, the lyricist and composer of 'The Motherland Will Not Forget'."
"Liu Zi, this is Zhu Ziqiang, the head of our Beijing Military Region Choir. The others are teachers from the choirs of the two military regions."
Liu Zi greeted everyone with a smile: "Hello everyone, I'm Liu Zi."
"Wow, what a young talent! It's amazing that such a piece was composed by someone so young!" Zhu Ziqiang exclaimed with a smile.
"You flatter me. It was mainly during my recent trip to the Northwest Military Region that I visited their Hall of Honor and heard many stories. Combined with some previous feelings, that inspired me to compose this piece."
"Later, their brigade held a small party, and I sang this song once. I didn't expect it to be so well received. The Northwest Military Region suggested that we could use this song to participate in the National Day performance. I thought it was worth a try, so I agreed." Liu Zi said that it was a coincidence and that she did not specifically recommend herself.
Zhu Ziqiang and his choir originally had a task, but when they received this song, he insisted on selecting dozens more people to participate, mainly because the song's meaning was so good.
"We only have the sheet music, we haven't heard your performance demo yet. May we hear you play it?" a teacher suddenly said.
Liu Zi was a little surprised, but she didn't object. She looked in the direction he pointed and saw a piano and an accordion.
She walked over, lifted the piano lid to test the sound, and then sat down on the piano bench.
She sensed that some people were not convinced and might even think that the piece was written by someone else.
Liu Zi flexed her fingers and gave everyone a sentimental rendition of "The Motherland Will Not Forget".
The choir's piano playing was quite good; Liu Zi's performance was exhilarating and enjoyable.
However, the expressions on the faces of the people present were somewhat complicated; this sounded far too tender.
Just when everyone thought the piece was finished, Liu Zi casually slid her hand and played a version of "The Motherland Will Not Forget" with a stronger rhythm in a deeper voice.
The momentum was like that of a thousand troops, and the fingers danced on the piano. Even Director Zhou, who didn't know much about the piano, felt his blood boil.
After the performance was completed, Zhu Ziqiang, the head of the choir, took the lead in applauding enthusiastically.
