1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 70 Something went wrong
"What's wrong? Teacher?"

"What happened?"

The girls in the dance troupe noticed the situation and immediately gathered around.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that we may not have live piano for this ballet performance. We can only use recorded accompaniment." Teacher Jiang Ling announced with great regret.

The ballet The Dying Swan was originally a solo dance premiered by French ballerina Anna Pavlova in 1907, with music accompanied by The Swan, No. from Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals.

The piece was originally played for solo cello with piano accompaniment.

However, the piano can be used in the performance of "The Dying Swan". Whether it is a piano solo or piano accompaniment version, it can actually provide a different musical atmosphere and emotional expression for the dance.

The piano’s rich timbre and expressiveness are well able to convey the swan’s elegance, sadness and dying struggle in The Dying Swan.

This is also the reason why the dance troupe's teachers adopted the form of live piano solo performance and prepared and communicated with the pianist Wang Liding in advance. That is why Wang Liding did not go home to prepare for the New Year but stayed in the theater to prepare for the art performance on the 5th.

But what Teacher Jiang Ling didn't expect was that this old guy actually went out drinking with others the night before the performance and was admitted to the hospital with gastric bleeding!

This is a big mistake!
The girls' faces changed slightly when they realized this, because the effect of the recording is not as good as that of a live piano performance.

"When we practiced before, Lao Wang played the instrument. We thought that live performance would be more expressive and artistic, so we didn't use recordings to dance."

"What should I do? It's too late to find it now! Besides, this piece of music, 'Swan' by Saint-Saëns, is a little unpopular. Not many people would learn it specifically!"

"Yeah! Then we can only record it. Luckily I brought a tape."

The two accompanying teachers from the dance troupe and teachers from other troupes also offered suggestions, which even alarmed the dean.

"This Wang Liding! He is really outrageous! If he delays important matters, he must be punished!" Dean Fan Ji'an said coldly.

……

The stage in the municipal party committee auditorium was never quiet for the entire morning.

You finish your performance and I take the stage, the situation changes.

It was the turn of the twenty girls in the dance troupe to go on stage for rehearsal. When a piano piece filled with electric sounds came from the loudspeakers, the girls present showed no discomfort and all danced with all their might.

But after one rehearsal, the condition not only did not get better, but even got worse.

After the girls finished dancing, they sat in the lounge in silence, with their heads down. Some girls with poor psychological endurance even started sobbing.

This was a performance they had been preparing for over two months, and they didn’t even go home for the holidays.

Now it's just like that...it's all over.

"What should I do!"

Wang Danping no longer had her usual lively look and her face was filled with worry.

"Hey……"

Liu Xiaoli glanced at everyone and found that the always confident Hu Yanzhang also looked listless. She sighed.

Although she also learned piano in elementary school, she thinks her level is pretty good.

But she couldn't learn and play a new song proficiently in less than half a day.

Now how to do?
Is this going to be a failure for the first time performing on a large stage?
Liu Xiaoli sat on a chair holding a small bag, looking up at the ceiling and clearing her mind.

My hand was unconsciously rummaging in the bag, and suddenly a photo slipped out and fell to the ground.

Liu Xiaoli picked it up subconsciously, and a photo of a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old leaning on the piano with one hand appeared in front of her.

Ok?
"Does he know this piece?"

This thought popped up in the girl's mind, and immediately occupied her entire mind. Then she turned around and said, "Danping, I'm going out for a while. I have something to do."

"oh oh."

Wang Danping was a little confused, and then she saw Liu Xiaoli leaving the lounge.

"what happened?"

"Sister Xiaoli went out for some reason. It seems she went to look for Brother Kaiyan."

"Huh...it's already this late, and you're still going out!"

Teacher Jiang Ling, Xiao Caiyun, Zhang Yi and others standing by all frowned and felt a little depressed for a moment.

The dance troupe is facing a difficult time right now. Staying with everyone won't solve the problem, but at least you can't run away.

Oh... forget it, the situation is like this anyway. Thinking of this, Teacher Jiang Ling stood up and walked to the girls in the group who were crying sadly, and comforted them carefully.
"Okay~ As long as everyone can complete the dance, it will be considered a success. The teacher has seen everyone's hard work over the past two months. After today's performance, everyone will have a day off, okay? Then we can be happy together. Have fun for a few days, and then go home for the New Year!"

"Hmm~"

The girls nodded aggrievedly.

……

Editorial Department Health Room.

The iron and wooden door was closed, the curtains were drawn on the glass windows, and a light was on on the beam.

A mysterious and tense atmosphere spread in the room.

Under the lamp, several people were sitting at a square table playing blue and white mahjong. They were Cheng Kaiyan, the security guard, Chen Shanshan and Editor-in-Chief Yang.

There was a stove next to the square table, and a tin kettle was burning on it.

Cheng Kaiyan was eating melon seeds and playing cards out of boredom.

After walking around the Municipal Party Committee Auditorium just now, he was pulled back by Chen Shanshan and Yang Shuan to the editorial office to play mahjong.

The room was warm, with only the window open a crack for ventilation. Cheng Kaiyan yawned, reached out his hand, and typed: "Four."

"Bang! Hu!"

Chen Shanshan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed at Cheng Kaiyan and laughed loudly, "Ahahaha! Cheng Kaiyan, you're firing the cannon again, right? All of them are pengpenghu! Two cents!"

"Are you a money-grubber?"

Cheng Kaiyan rolled his eyes speechlessly. To be honest, he really didn't know how to play this thing. He was just dragged here by force.

I had only been on the stage for less than half an hour and I had already lost a dollar.

"Kaiyan's skills are indeed not very good, but it is much better than at the beginning. At least he knows what he is winning."

Editor-in-Chief Yang looked at the two of them with amusement, thinking that this kid was really a money-making boy, and he must beat him a few times today.

"Wow, wow, wow~"

The crisp sound of mahjong tiles colliding with each other echoed in the room.

Playing mahjong in the middle of winter makes my hands a bit cold. It’s a pity that there are no automatic mahjong machines now, otherwise they would really sell well.

Why is it that no one makes mahjong machines in rebirth stories?

This thing doesn't have much technical content, but it sells for several thousand yuan each.

Ten minutes later, he suddenly heard a girl's voice calling out, it seemed to be Liu Xiaoli.

"Kai Yan!"

"I don't want to play anymore, my partner is here!"

Cheng Kaiyan stood up suddenly, then stuffed the few cents left that were pressed by the melon seeds on the table into his trouser pocket and shouted.

Finally found an excuse!
Damn, these guys are playing mahjong and lost a lot of money in a blink of an eye!
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go! I haven't made back my money yet!"

The security guard was also anxious because he had never won before.

"The master is not here. These two came here specifically for us. Don't lose all your private money."

Cheng Kaiyan glanced at Chen Shanshan and the other person who were laughing secretly, and warned them.

"Kaiyan, is it possible that your uncle wants to win the money in your pocket?"

Yang Shuan touched his chin and explained.

Cheng Kaiyan cast a glance: "Hmm?"

"Ahem...don't be so blunt! We should respect the elderly and love the young during the New Year."

The old man met Cheng Kaiyan's questioning gaze and said with a guilty conscience.

"It's gone. It's gone."
