Chapter 517 When Christmas Comes to the Town
Wang Yaning wanted to call Xiao Celery and the others, but was stopped by Zhang Zian. He didn't say hello until their rehearsal came to an end, "Little Celery! We are here to support you!"
Lu Yiyun also smiled and waved to Xiao Qincai, "Little Qincai, I'm here to join you!"
Little Celery ran over excitedly. Her little face was flushed red in the cold weather, but she was still in good spirits.
In addition to her, another boy wearing glasses also followed, the former bear boy Xiao Yile, who also played a role in the performance, in charge of playing the customer of the pet shop.
The other students stayed where they were and rested because they didn't know Zhang Zian, but their eyes were completely attracted by the pets and elves brought by Zhang Zian.
"Brother store manager, what are you doing here?" After saying hello, Little Celery asked curiously, looking at the kittens and puppies filled with tricycles.
Wang Yaning rushed to explain Zhang Zian's thoughts, and Xiao Celery's eyes lit up when she heard it, she quickly turned around and called all her companions to discuss together.
Xiao Yile saw Xinghai, and he was deeply impressed by this kitten with silver-gray eyes. He respected and feared it, and he was as cautious in front of it as he was in front of the principal.
"It happened that we had just reached the final stage of rehearsal, and we stopped to rest because there were no dogs to pull the sled. How about we rehearse from the beginning?" Xiao Yile suggested.
The students hit it off immediately, and they rehearsed tirelessly since they were still wearing costumes anyway.
In order to cooperate with their rehearsal, Zhang Zian tied the other end of Feimasi and Zhantian's traction rope to the sled—he purposely left Feimasi's traction rope a little longer, so that Feimasi would be able to move when pulling the sled. Lead by about 1/3 of a body, just like an Eskimo dog team must have a leader dog.
As for the kittens and puppies, I can't take them out for the time being, otherwise, after being seen by others, the real performance will not be so unexpected.
He stared nervously at Zhan Tian, for fear that Zhan Tian would make a mistake in the performance and make these children's hard work go to waste.
But fortunately, Femas played a very good role as the leading dog. Little Celery sitting on the sled let him go, and Zhan Tian, who was a little behind, just followed his footsteps.
The rehearsal this time was very smooth and successful. The children corrected some mistakes they had made before, and the whole rehearsal was completed in one go. In the end, Xiao Celery's appearance on the sled was even more perfect.
Before the few spectators had time to applaud, Wang Yaning's cell phone rang suddenly.
She answered the phone and said a few words, then hung up the phone in a panic and said, "It's the teacher in charge. She said that the class in front of us has given up on the performance. Our class is going to start early. Let's go!"
When the children heard this, their joyful moods suddenly became tense because of the success of the rehearsal, and their little faces were all tensed.
Zhang Zian played the role of a mature adult at the right time, and comforted him: "Everyone, don't panic! You have rehearsed very well, as long as you perform normally on the stage, I am very optimistic about you!"
However, his words are not convincing, and the children are still very nervous.
"You don't know, do you? I'm a professional. If I say you can do it, you can do it!" Zhang Zian knew that what the children needed most at this time was confidence. City pass, show them.
"See? I've been in a film crew before. In my opinion, your performance is not much worse than those of professional actors." He patted his chest and assured.
"Wow! Uncle, have you really made a movie?" A little boy exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course, I'll show you my photos when I was on the set." Zhang Zian showed them the photos in the phone gallery.
A child with sharp eyes pointed at the group photo of Zhang Zian and Feng Xuan and said, "I've seen this guy on TV, he's a very famous director!"
Another child also pointed to the group photo of Femas and Lin Feng, "Isn't this Lin Feng? My mother is still his fan!"
"Believe it now? I'm not talking nonsense. Your performance is really good. As long as you bravely face the audience and perform normally on the stage, you will definitely get a good ranking!" Zhang Zian put away his phone and encouraged.
The children immediately cheered up and their morale was boosted.
Time was tight, Wang Yaning once again urged them to go to the backstage to report, otherwise they might be sentenced to abstention.
Zhang Zian and a few others followed the children into the auditorium and walked around to the backstage. Little Celery and the others had already put on their costumes, saving the trouble of going to the dressing room to change, and went directly behind the curtain to prepare for the stage.
The previous program has ended, and the host, who is also a primary school student, is announcing in a childish voice—"The next program, "Fairy Tale Pet Shop", invites actors to appear!"
"Come on everyone!" Zhang Zian encouraged in a low voice.
A few children have gone on stage to perform, and Celery's Santa Claus will appear in the final scene, and there is still some time. Wang Qian, Li Kun and Lu Yiyun were busy moving the air box into the backstage. Little Celery held the cloth bag, and Zhang Zian picked up kittens and puppies and put them into the pockets. Although it was a bit crowded, just hold on for a while. up.
With Fina around, the kittens all kept their mouths tightly shut and didn't bark. The puppies barked occasionally, but their voices were completely covered by the lines on the stage, the laughter and applause of the audience.
Behind the curtain, there were some faculty and staff who acted as temporary staff. Seeing Zhang Zian bring so many cats and dogs, they couldn't help showing a look of surprise on their faces. Little Celery's head teacher might have greeted her in advance. Although the faculty and staff were surprised, they didn't say much, and let Zhang Zian and the others prepare.
Taking advantage of the interval between putting pets in the cloth pockets, Zhang Zian took the time to glance at the stage. The children performed very well. Apart from the unavoidable nervousness at the beginning, they gradually adapted to the stage, lighting and audience. , to bring out the level of previous rehearsal well.
It was dark under the stage, and the entire auditorium was almost full. The front row is the leaders of the school, and the back is the teachers, students and parents of the students. In the aisle between the stage and the leaders in the front row, the young actors who had performed before sat on the floor and watched the performance seriously.
"Mr. Store Manager, all the pets we brought are here." Lu Yiyun said in a low voice, "Wang Qian and Li Kun have already gone around to the main entrance of the auditorium, and they are waiting for the reception in the audience."
Zhang Zian made a gesture to indicate that he knew.
Wang Yaning did not participate in the performance, but she watched the whole rehearsal and knew the progress of the performance well. Seeing that it was almost done, she reminded: "Student Celery, get ready, it's your turn to play."
Little Celery unconsciously touched her pasted beard and eyebrows, for fear that they would fall off suddenly, which was also a sign of nervousness.
"Little Celery." Zhang Zian said.
She turned around.
"Look who I brought here?" He took out two cages from behind like a magic trick, which contained a hamster and a lop-eared rabbit from a pet store.
"It's Xiaoling and Er Er!" Little Celery was overjoyed, "Brother, store manager, you brought them here!"
"That's right, because they are Xiao Celery's friends. They quietly told me that they also wanted to watch Xiao Celery's performance, so I brought them along." Zhang Zian laughed, "Don't let them down!"
At this moment, Richard, who was huddled in his hood, said in a soft and thin voice: "Little Celery, I am the ear, you have to work hard!"
Before the words finished, Richard changed another voice, "I'm Xiaoling, come and cheer for Celery!"
Little Celery clenched her hands excitedly, "Thank you, Xiaoling, Er, I will work hard!"
Wang Yaning stared blankly at the side. She clearly saw that Zhang Zian had his mouth shut, but there were two childlike voices coming from him. Could it be that the hamster and the lop-eared rabbit were really talking?
Before she could understand, Little Celery had already tugged on the leash and said, "Let's go!"
Fei Max and Zhan Tian got the order and immediately started to move. The sled carried Xiao Celery and a dozen kittens and puppies, which were really heavy. Their leashes were stretched straight in an instant, but they still dragged the sled into the arena smoothly.
Including the school leaders, the audience in the audience saw that there were really two German Shepherds pulling the sled, and they immediately exclaimed. At the same time, they were a little worried, worrying whether the two German Shepherds would bite the children .
Their worries were completely superfluous, Fei Max and Zhan Tian behaved in a well-behaved manner, without the slightest sign of hurting anyone.
Zhan Tian was a little intimidated by the lights on the stage, but fortunately Zhang Zian's training had paid off in the past few days, and Femas played the role of the leading dog brilliantly, calming him down quickly.
"It's your turn to play." Zhang Zian said.
"Quack! Let me show you what I can do!"
Richard jumped out of Zhang Zian's hood, fluttered his wings and landed on Zhang Zian's shoulder, singing the theme song of "The Polar Express" with a voice resembling that of a famous child star in Europe and America.
"La, la, la, la..."
"I wish on the stars, try to believe—"
"Though it's a long way, he'll find me on Christmas Eve—"
"I guess Santa is busy because he never visits—"
"Christmas has come to town and I'm missing him—"
"It's the best time of the year when everyone's home and nobody's lonely—"
"Put up the Christmas tree, and the friends gather—"
"So glad Christmas is coming to town—"
"Get ready for colorful gifts—"
"All the legends, I have only heard, but have not witnessed—"
"Nobody sleeps on Christmas Eve, waiting for Santa to come—"
"When Santa's sleigh bells ring, I listen, and the angels sing—"
"I didn't hear the voice, the children found their lost dreams—"
"That's all I want, when Christmas comes to town—"
Richard's singing is melodious and beautiful, like the sound of nature, it is completely at the level of a top singer, and it is not a recording. Sing.
Even Xiao Celery’s classmates were stunned—it wasn’t part of the rehearsal, but it happened to fit perfectly with the plot of their performance.
Fei Max and Zhan Tian smoothly pulled the sled around the stage for several weeks. Accompanied by Richard's singing, Little Celery also untied the rope of the cloth bag at the right time, and kittens and puppies fished from the cloth bag one by one. Jumping out, leaping off the stage happily, meowing and rushing towards the audience.
The atmosphere of the entire auditorium was heightened to a climax!
