618: Congratulations, you deserve it!
In the conference room.
Dozens of people were sitting at the table, preparing to hold a meeting to decide on the number of people who would be allowed to perform in Beijing.
Commander Sun and several military leaders sat in the front row, their heads put together and whispered a few words. After muttering, Commander Sun looked up at the people who came to the meeting together.
After everyone was seated, Commander Sun began to speak:
"We've finished watching the show. To be fair, let's vote. The one with the highest votes wins. Xiao Zhang, bring me a pen and paper."
Commander Sun called his secretary, who took a bunch of pencils and some manuscript paper.
Each person was given a pencil and a small piece of paper.
Everyone took a pen and paper and started thinking about who to vote for.
At this time, Commander Sun coughed dryly, looked at the people below and instructed:
"Each person can only write one program. This program must represent our Great Northern Wilderness and showcase the spirit and indomitable fighting spirit of our people in the Great Northern Wilderness. This is very important. It must highlight our unique characteristics—"
When the audience heard this, they looked up at Master Sun:
Are you sure that Master Sun is not openly canvassing votes for "The Pioneer Sisters" by saying all this to everyone?
Among these five programs, the only one that meets the requirements of Commander Sun is "The Pioneer Sisters" by the Second Division Art Troupe.
Everyone pondered what Master Sun said—
Forget it, there’s nothing to think about. Anyway, my opinion is the same as Commander Sun’s.
Everyone lowered their heads and quickly wrote down the programs they had chosen. Then they put down their pencils and crumpled the paper into small balls.
After the secretary distributed the pencils, she turned around and started collecting the paper balls and pencils with a tray.
Commander Sun and several military leaders sitting in the front also participated in the voting.
In the conference room, only Zhou Ziheng, Chen Shukui and several other division members did not participate. They sat in the corner and watched them vote, observing the rules.
Chen Shukui still had his arms crossed over his chest, an uncontrollable smile on his face. From what Commander Sun said, this time it was a sure thing.
He glanced at Zhou Ziheng twice, silently celebrating with his eyes.
Zhou Ziheng was distracted and kept looking at the door. Seeing that You Wenyue did not come in and Yu Xiaoye was still outside, Zhou Ziheng felt uneasy.
He leaned over to Chen Shukui's ear and whispered:
"You keep an eye on this, I'll go out for a while."
After saying that, he quietly got up and left.
Chen Shukui felt that Zhou Ziheng was in a strange state today. At this time, what could be more important than waiting for the selection results?
The votes are about to be announced, and you can’t wait for just a few minutes?
Chen Shukui watched Zhou Ziheng leave, then turned and looked forward.
At the front of the conference room, the secretary has already started counting the votes.
"One vote for the pioneering sisters."
"One vote for the pioneering sisters."
"One vote for the pioneering sisters."
Soon, several "正" characters were written behind the pioneering sisters on the small blackboard.
As for other programs, there is not even a complete word "正" after them.
The Fifth Division's "Red Lantern" was even worse. It wasn't even open yet, and it was like a public execution, which made the people in the Fifth Division very embarrassed.
There are only two strokes at the end of "White-Haired Girl".
Chen Shukui couldn't help but sigh, it seems that the times are slowly changing. Model operas seem to be less popular. People still prefer some fresh programs.
After the secretary counted the last vote, the result was obvious without counting. "The Pioneer Sisters" won the only spot to go to Beijing to attend the National Agricultural Reclamation Conference with an overwhelming advantage!
Chen Shukui suddenly felt as if his face was inlaid with gold - shining brightly.
People from other divisions sent their congratulations with forced smiles:
"Director Chen, congratulations, you really deserve the title—"
Chen Shukui bowed:
"Thank you so much, thank you all for your kindness!"
There was sparse applause in the conference room.
Chen Shukui tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth and not let himself smile too proudly.
Chief Sun saw the results on the blackboard and said with a smile:
"Okay, the results are in. The Second Division Art Troupe's 'Sisters of the Pioneer' is truly refreshing. How do you say that about this ballet—"
Commander Sun didn't know how to describe it.
The secretary quickly reminded him a few times before Master Sun continued:
“This ballet is short and concise, yet it has everything it needs to be done. Even a layman like me can get my blood boiling and feel passionate.
The most important thing is that this is adapted from a true story. A pair of twin sisters from the city resolutely responded to the call, joined the youth support team, came to the Great Northern Wilderness to reclaim fertile farmland, and started a family with the locals, raising the second generation of people from the wilderness.
It is because of the selfless dedication of countless ordinary people that we have the Great Northern Wilderness today and have millions of acres of fertile farmland.
We cannot forget those ordinary heroes and the entrepreneurs in the Great Northern Wilderness. We must sing praises for them.
Therefore, considering all aspects, the Second Division's "Pioneering Sisters" has a higher overall level and is the best choice to represent the Great Northern Wilderness! "
Commander Sun made the final decision and confirmed that the Second Division Art Troupe was successfully elected!
Chen Shukui came out of the conference room with a beaming smile on his face and went to the auditorium to announce this exciting news to the people from the art troupe.
Chen Shukui raised his arm in front of more than 20 people and said:
"Our Second Division has won!"
"ah!!!!"
The entire Second Division Art Troupe jumped up and shouted excitedly, as if the whole place was in chaos:
"We can go to the capital!"
"We can go to the capital to perform!"
"I can go to the capital now!"
"Go to the capital! Go to the capital! Go to the capital!"
Everyone's face flushed with excitement, and even their eyes were red. Finally, all their hard work over this period of time paid off.
Compared with the Second Division
Everyone was excited, and the other four divisions seemed a little lonely.
Upon learning that their program was not selected, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, silently packed up their things and left the auditorium, ready to go home.
Although everyone felt sour and uncomfortable, after getting over the pain, they felt that the loss was not unfair.
Their program is indeed impeccable in every aspect. They have singing and dancing, music, and stories.
The key is that they have connotation.
And it's still very new.
It's not so clichéd that people can't continue watching it.
It can be said that this program has all the advantages of the other four programs.
It's unacceptable that they are not allowed to win.
Thinking of this, I let go of my worries and was no longer sad. I went back to pack my things and prepared to go back tomorrow. Since it was not too late, I quickly went shopping in the city so that my trip was not in vain.
People from other divisions left the auditorium silently, leaving only the Second Division Art Troupe who were still overjoyed.
A group of boys from the art troupe took advantage of the excitement and lifted Chen Shukui up and threw him into the air.
Seeing the 140-150 kg man being thrown up and down, Liang Qin hurriedly stopped him nervously:
"Put it down! Put it down! Don't look back, or you'll fall to the ground!"
Chen Shukui fell to the ground, then he remembered that he hadn't seen Yu Xiaoye:
"Hey, where's Yu Xiaoye? Where did Yu Xiaoye go?"
