Chapter 538 Training(2/2)
An Zhai nodded heavily with tears in his eyes.
The old ghost came over with the plate, put down the plate, stretched out his finger, poked An Zhai's head, and said angrily: "Why are you crying? Are you embarrassed to cry? If you cry again, get out of here!"
The eldest brother also sat next to the old ghost with a meal, and smiled and said, "Master, what's wrong? Who messed with you?"
The old ghost sighed heavily, without answering.
The eldest brother glanced at An Zhai and understood immediately, and said, "Eighth Junior Brother, you said you are one year older than Xiaoqi. Why are you not as good as Xiaoqi everywhere? Xiaoqi opened his hamstrings, and the pain was no worse than you. He didn't say a word for three consecutive days, let alone shed tears."
The old ghost was eating with his head down, and suddenly looked up and asked, "Daxin, how are your seventh junior brother practicing?"
The senior brother said, "The arm tendons and waist tendons are all open, and the hamstrings are still not in the time to ignite the fire. I think it will be enough for two days to open it."
The old ghost seemed very satisfied, nodded slightly, and then lowered his head to eat.
An Zhai wiped his tears and said timidly at the old ghost: "Master, I was wrong, I will never cry again."
As soon as he heard An Zhai's voice, the old ghost became angry again. Just as he was about to continue cursing, he saw little Anderson's secretary walking over in high heels.
"Mr. Lao Gui, I've been looking for you for a whole morning, but I didn't expect to see you here."
The old ghost quickly got up and asked politely: "Hello Miss Jenny, I wonder why Miss Jenny is looking for the old ghost?"
Jane smiled slightly and said, "It's Mr. Anderson who is looking for you. He will discuss the specific matters with you. However, the news is so exciting that I have to congratulate Mr. Old Ghost in advance. In a few days, I think you should be able to take the stage on Broadway!"
This is great news.
The old ghost was immediately overjoyed and didn't even bother to eat, so he wanted to go to Anderson: "Miss Jenny, please tell me, is Mr. Anderson in the office now?"
Jane raised her eyebrows and said with a stern expression: "I think he must be very eager to see Mr. Lao Gui now, so he will definitely stay in the office and wait for Mr. Lao Gui to find him."
The old ghost immediately took his legs, took a few steps, turned his head back, and said to the senior brother: "Call all the junior brothers and sisters to your room later. It is not a trivial matter to be able to go to Broadway. We must be fully prepared and not to embarrass Mr. Anderson."
When Jane talked with her master, Luo Lie heard the same thing, but the two of them spoke English too quickly, and Luo Lie did not dare to determine whether his understanding was correct, but the old ghost turned around and told the elder brother that he was speaking in Mandarin, so Luo Lie and An Zhai were also ecstatic.
It's really extraordinary to be able to step on the Broadway stage.
The senior brothers and sisters quickly gathered in the room of the senior brother and Luo Lie. It can be seen that everyone was very excited. An Zhai couldn't sit still and slipped out from time to time to see if the master was back.
At most, it took half an hour, and the old ghost finally pushed the door open and entered.
"Master, is it true?" The apprentices asked in a slight manner, their words were different, but the meaning was the same. The old ghost nodded and replied: "Mr. Anderson has long been in contact with Broadway. However, the traditional programs of the Global Circus were not allowed to appear on stage due to the venue restrictions, so we were invited to join. This time, Mr. Anderson plans to take out ten programs to perform on Broadway, and six of their own programs are more suitable for the venue..."
Gan Lian couldn't help but snatch the words: "That's what I've given us four shows?"
But the old ghost shook his head and said, "It's not that simple."
Senior brother Zhao Daxin said: "Don't interrupt, let the master finish his words."
The old ghost took the tea handed over by his second senior brother Wang Tao, took a sip, and then said, "In addition to us, Mr. Anderson has also recruited two Chinese circuses, and their scale is larger than ours. The remaining four programs will be selected from the three of us."
The second senior brother Wang Tao showed a little disappointment on his face and murmured: "How could this happen? That Mr. Anderson is too unauthorized."
Zhao Daxin said: "You are just talking nonsense, right? You have said everything. Let the master finish his words and interrupt!"
The old ghost waved his hand to stop the two senior brothers' argument, and then said, "Mr. Anderson can give us this opportunity. If it weren't for him, could we live in such a room? Can we eat hot every day at meal time? As a human being, you must know how to be grateful!" When it comes to gratitude, the old ghost looked at Luo Lie and An Zhai specifically.
"Competition is not a bad thing. My old ghost and you disciples taught me are all real skills. If you put them on the table, I think it will be better than others."
The old ghost said, took another sip of tea, coughed lightly, and then said, "We can't take all four programs, let's report three programs, Master, I'll play a unique skill in my hand. Foreigners call it a close-up magic, and the boss's flying knife skills cannot be buried. This is the third one, He'er Lian'er, prepare your bowl!"
But seeing that the master and old ghost had finished explaining, the eldest brother Zhao Daxin asked, "Master, how many days do we have to prepare?"
The old ghost put down the teacup and replied, "It's not confirmed yet. Mr. Anderson said that the planned Broadway performance is scheduled at the beginning of next month. It's not confirmed whether it's Saturday night or Sunday night. As for the comparison between our Chinese circus, I think it's just these few days. No matter which day, it's always right for us to prepare first."
Zhao Daxin said again: "Master, I still have an idea. In the past, I used to practice flying knives, and the third and fourth junior sisters cooperated with me. At that time, the random performance was over, so the third and fourth junior sisters would not affect their own programs, but I was afraid of this Broadway performance..."
The old ghost sighed and said, "What Daxin said makes sense. We have to re-arrange the program, not only to be exciting, but also to be pleasing to the eye. Okay, I will think about my tricks myself. For the other two programs, you brothers and sisters will discuss the same collaborative discussion."
After the old ghost finished speaking, he got up and left. Next, the senior brother was hosted by the host. Everyone started to discuss it enthusiastically. "Just be quiet, just quiet, let me tell you a principle first!" Zhao Daxin slapped twice, making the junior brothers and sisters quiet, and said, "It's really not easy to get the opportunity to go to Broadway this time, so my idea is to let everyone show their faces and gain some stage experience... Well, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, forget it, they have not yet started, they are afraid that something will happen if they go to the stage."
When he heard the elder brother say that he wanted everyone to show his face, Luo Lie and An Zhai were a little excited, but after thinking for a while, the elder brother immediately eliminated them, which made the two of them look disappointed.
It would definitely not be possible to just say that it would not be practiced. After discussing it, the brothers and sisters basically determined the general form of the program performance, and then rushed to the rehearsal room in a hurry. Luo Lian and Zhai naturally followed.
The Global Circus has a large rehearsal field, mainly used for rehearsals of traditional Western circus programs such as equestrians, lion training, and tiger training. There are also two indoor rehearsal rooms. Mr. Anderson specially vacated one for three Chinese circus rehearsals. He was very lucky. When Zhao Daxin and his junior brothers arrived, the rehearsal room had just been vacated.
However, as soon as the rehearsal was opened, the door of the rehearsal room opened again, and more than ten people rushed in. The leader was a man in his thirties who spoke authentic Beijing accent.
"Who are you? Who are you? Don't you know that this situation has been decided by the master?" When he said that, the man raised his right thumb and poked his chest twice. His expression was very arrogant.
Zhao Daxin immediately stepped forward and replied: "I'm in the south of Jiangsu Peng family. May I ask if you are..."
The Beijing-style man snorted coldly and said, "What Peng Family Ban has never heard of." He turned around and asked contemptuously at the person behind him: "Have you heard of it? I haven't heard of it, so I'm so embarrassed to go to the Global Circus to make a living?"
The second senior brother Wang Tao was angry and stepped forward to question, "Be kind and be kind, who is the one who makes a living? I think you are..." Zhao Daxin quickly stopped Wang Tao, clasped his fists at the Beijing-style man again, and said, "Everyone was invited by Mr. Anderson. In the future, we will work together to promote the name of the Global Circus to the whole world..."
The Beijing-style man burst into laughter filled with sarcastic sarcasm: "Just rely on you guys? You can do it! How many unique skills can you do? Come on, tell me, the fifth master, if there is something that I can't do, the fifth master will be absolutely right. This is yours. What's the point? Let's try it?"
The Na clan originated from the Yehenara clan of the Qing Dynasty. The Yehenara clan was originally one of the eight major surnames of the Qing Dynasty, and then became a family and a dog because of the empress dowager. The fifth master was named Naduo. He was originally a playboy in the capital. His grandfather was appointed as the third rank of the Qing Dynasty. Although his father had no achievements, he relied on the support of the empress dowager and became a fourth rank of feather top.
Three years ago, his father used his connections and found a place for Naduo to go abroad to North America. However, Naduo was not a study material. After coming to America, he still lived a life of debauchery. His father was angry that he did not fight and threatened to cut off Naduo's source of life, but Naduo was unmoved and simply left the school, recruited several Chinese circus teams, and saved up one of the teams.
Naduo is not a student, but has a high talent for language and is good at using money. He has made many foreign friends. With these social relations, he is still very happy in the east coast of the United States of America.
The other person drew a trail, and the second senior brother Wang Tao couldn't bear it, so he was about to face the challenge. The two junior sisters and two junior brothers below were also dissatisfied and eager to try, wanting to compete with the class. The senior brother Zhao Daxin stopped him. "Junior brother, junior sister, don't forget the master's teachings!" He turned around and said to Na Duo: "The fifth master is famous in the world, and the class is famous. Our Peng family class admires it very much. This venue is the most suitable for you to use." After that, he took all the junior brothers and sisters away from the rehearsal room.
Behind him, the laughter of the crowd of the family inevitably came out.
Na Duo refused to let go and was still shouting behind him: "It's not about giving up, it's about offering, a bunch of local buns, I can't even say anything!"
After leaving the rehearsal room, the senior brothers and sisters were still angry. In their words, they were complaining that the senior brother was too weak and should not give up the venue to them. So what if they showed their hands to compete?
Zhao Daxin said: "That's right, it's easy to have a competition. But what can I do after the competition is over?"
The fifth senior brother Liu Baoer said, "If you compare them, isn't the rehearsal room ours?"
Zhao Daxin asked back, "What if they continue to mess around?"
This is something that the seniors and sisters couldn't consider. Just looking at the fifth master's arrogant and unreasonable appearance, he could definitely do such a thing.
Zhao Daxin continued: "Even if they no longer mess around, what can we get? Our program can be finalized? The matter on Broadway can be determined? I think it will only delay our rehearsal time and affect our rehearsal mood. Do you think this is the reason?"
The senior brothers and sisters didn't say anything anymore, and all lowered their heads.
"Master's trick, my flying knife, He'er Lian'er's bowl, these three shows, in terms of quality, I think no Chinese circus can compare with us. But our shortcomings are also obvious. We only focus on the inner part of the show, not the appearance of the show. It's okay to perform on a temporary small stage, but if we go to the big stage on Broadway, we will look a little thin. Therefore, our rehearsal is to make the appearance of the show. You said, where can we find a place to achieve our goal? Why waste time with them?"
The fourth senior sister Gan Lian said, "Brother, why not let's go to the practice room. There are not many people there in the afternoon, and the venue we need is not big, so we can't affect others."
Zhao Daxin nodded.
Gan Lian's proposal made Luo Lie a bitter. An Zhai had no master around, and the senior brothers and sisters dared not and would not train An Zhai. Therefore, An Zhai was on vacation in the practice room. However, the eldest brother was still next to Luo Lie. As soon as he entered the practice room, the eldest brother sent Luo Lie to a corner and opened his arms, waist and legs alone. Now it was not very painful for Luo Lie, but there was An Zhai who was sometimes dancing and sometimes gloating. Luo Lie was in a bad mood. There were a few times that he almost wanted to kick An Zhai while his senior brother was not paying attention.
As the senior brother Zhao Daxin said, the senior brothers and sisters are not worried about the quality of the two programs of the flying knife top bowl. They are only worried about the stage performance. Therefore, the core of everyone’s rehearsal is the way of appearance and the way of connecting the program. However, due to the limited staff, the only six people have to use them in the two programs, and they always feel a little stretched and unsatisfactory.
If I couldn't achieve satisfactory results, I could only stop rehearsal and think about countermeasures. However, the innate conditions were insufficient, so I could not figure out any way to resolve the conflict by letting the four senior brothers and two senior sisters think about it.
At this time, Luo Lie, who was slashing in one corner, suddenly said: "Why can't two programs be turned into one program?"
The senior brothers and sisters were stunned at first, thinking that Luo Lie was simply nonsense, but then they thought that everyone wanted only the opportunity to perform on stage. The merger of the two programs into one program seemed to be a loss, but it increased the competitiveness of the program and could also solve the major problem of insufficient manpower. Why can't we consider it?
Zhao Daxinli looked happy and said, "I'll discuss with my master now."
Mr. Anderson Little did a very thoughtful way of doing things. He did not gather the three Chinese circuses together to compete the show, but instead took two assistants to watch the rehearsals of the three programs one by one.
Foreigners like to play cards, and the old ghosts like him. The trick designed is to use playing cards as props, grab a card in the air with one hand, and then throw it away, and then grab it again, and two more playing cards were added in their hands, just like there were endless playing cards in the air.
