289: Even the funding has been applied for
Liang Qin was very surprised after hearing Yu Xiaoye's plan. She didn't expect that this girl was so ambitious at such a young age. She actually had such a big ambition and wanted to stage a musical?
After a pause, Liang Qin reminded:
"Xiao Ye, it's a good idea, but you also need to understand the conditions of the propaganda team. Organizing a musical, and a ballet of "White-Haired Girl," is not as easy as you think.
First, the publicity team was put together on short notice, with absolutely no experience or foundation in this area. We had to start from scratch. Second, our schedule was tight, as we had other programs to rehearse, so we probably wouldn't be able to make it.
Yu Xiaoye had considered all the issues Liang Qin mentioned:
"Sister Liang, I know it will be difficult, but we can't back down because of this or that difficulty. Nothing is easy, but as long as we give it our all, we can still succeed."
This is just like when she took the college entrance examination in her previous life.
If she was scared by the pressure of the college entrance examination, she would never be able to get into a 985 university in the future.
Although there was a certain element of luck in getting into a 985 university, it was also due to her own persistence and hard work, as well as the courage and determination to strive towards her goal.
In her opinion, facing challenges head-on is the only way to success.
If you keep retreating, you will achieve nothing.
So she decided to give it a try.
Success is best.
If she fails, she won't regret the effort.
Liang Qin asked uncertainly:
"You have to think it through. Your plan is not on the same level of difficulty as my original plan. Are you sure you've thought it through?"
Yu Xiaoye nodded affirmatively:
"I've made up my mind. As long as Sister Liang supports me, I will work hard with Sister Liang to get this done!"
Liang Qin was moved by the girl's courage to think and act, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart:
Zhou Ziheng has such a sharp eye, no wonder he keeps praising this girl for her intelligence and excellence.
Facts have proved that this is not an exaggeration. Yu Xiaoye is even better than Zhou Ziheng described!
After thinking for a while, Liang Qin nodded resolutely:
"Since you have the courage and the responsibility, why should I object? However, I still need to discuss this matter with Section Chief Cui and get his approval."
"good!"
"Let's go and tell it now!"
Yu Xiaoye didn't get up in a hurry, and quickly took out a stack of money from the cloth bag:
"By the way, Sister Liang——"
Liang Qin was stunned when she saw Yu Xiaoye take out so much money.
Yu Xiaoye handed over the money and said vaguely:
"Sister Liang, I've applied for a grant of two hundred yuan from the director to buy some things for the propaganda team. If you need anything, use this money to buy it."
Liang Qin was even more surprised:
"You've even applied for funding?!"
"Um."
Liang Qin was completely stunned.
This girl is really unexpected!
Not only did he plan a complex program in an orderly manner by himself, but he also thought of applying for funding for the team!
Liang Qin has worked in the army and the corps for a total of ten years in literary and artistic work, and this is the first time she has met such a strong-willed girl!
Of course, Liang Qin also guessed that it was because Director Zhou had a special liking for this girl and obeyed her every word, so things could be done so smoothly.
If someone else had gone, it would definitely not have been so easy to borrow the script so quickly and apply for funding so quickly.
Therefore, Zhou Ziheng and Yu Xiaoye can be said to have achieved mutual success.
With this money, things will be much easier.
At least it can give the girls a pair of proper dance shoes, which can boost their morale and make them more positive in their mentality.
Liang Qin couldn't help but praise:
"That's right, Ono, you're very thoughtful. You're a very competent captain!"
Yu Xiaoye felt embarrassed by the compliment. If Liang Qin knew the true source of the money, she would probably scold her.
She stuffed the money into Liang Qin's hand.
Liang Qin accepted it and put it in the pocket of her military uniform.
The two of them went to the Propaganda Department office to discuss the rehearsal of the ballet with Cui Xinrong.
Cui Xinrong is writing a radio script.
When they got there, they told each other what had happened.
Cui Xinrong was a little confused when he heard this, because he had never staged a musical before and had no idea about it.
The propaganda teams at the branch venues are all temporary teams that have no formal training. They are okay for small activities, such as singing, dancing, and rehearsing crosstalk. If everyone works together, they can put on some small shows. There is no problem with that.
But to organize a formal musical, and the extremely difficult "White-Haired Girl" ballet, to be honest, Cui Xinrong felt that Yu Xiaoye was daydreaming.
Cui Xinrong scratched his head in distress, thought for a moment, and advised:
"Listen, I know you two mean well and want to put on a good show for the five-minute show.
But at present, our propaganda team really does not have the conditions, and time is tight.
It is already the end of June and the performance is expected to be in late August.
We only have a little over a month to prepare the other programs. We really don’t have the time or the conditions to stage a ballet that has never been staged before at the main venue.”
Liang Qin didn't say anything, but winked at Yu Xiaoye.
This matter was brought up by Yu Xiaoye, and she wanted to see how Yu Xiaoye planned to convince Cui Xinrong.
Convincing Cui Xinrong is the first step of this plan.
At the same time, Liang Qin also wanted to listen carefully to Yu Xiaoye's ideas.
Yu Xiaoye slowly placed two stacks of letter paper in front of Cui Xinrong and said calmly:
"Section Chief, I've already compiled the ballet excerpts, and the lyrics are also readily available in simple musical notation. The most basic preparations are already done. All that's left is to rehearse accordingly."
Cui Xinrong looked at Yu Xiaoye steadily.
Yu Xiaoye at this time
, she is no longer the girl who usually smiles and talks back at others.
At this moment, she looked serious, with a firmness and maturity beyond her age.
Cui Xinrong asked:
"Then tell me first, how long is this program?"
"I estimated it would take about half an hour."
"How many people are needed?"
"There must be three actors. I will play Xier, and two other male actors will play Huang Shiren and Yang Bailao."
Just hearing this, Cui Xinrong felt overwhelmed:
"Where do you want me to find Huang Shiren and Yang Bailao?"
Yu Xiaoye didn't answer, just stared at Cui Xinrong without blinking.
Cui Xinrong suddenly felt a pang of fear, and leaned back in shock, saying:
"You-you're not planning to take advantage of me, are you?!"
"Section Chief, calm down," Yu Xiaoye advised calmly, "Huang Shiren and Yang Bailao don't have very important roles anyway. Just pick one of them. Who do you want to play?"
“I don’t want to play any of them!”
Liang Qin was amused by Cui Xinrong's crazy look.
She didn't expect that Yu Xiaoye would set his sights on Cui Xinrong.
As the head of the publicity department, Cui Xinrong usually focuses on writing-related work. It would be a bit difficult to let someone who deals with words perform on stage.
Liang Qin suppressed a smile and said:
"Chief Cui, don't get excited. I think Xiao Ye's idea is great. Propaganda teams have to do everything. It's impossible to specialize in one thing. Why don't you give it a try and perform on stage? It can be considered a dedication to art."
“——” Cui Xinrong’s face turned green.
He, with his uncoordinated limbs, can actually perform on stage?!
