Chapter 431: Chapter 430: Got Slapped in the Face Now, Huh?
Wang Hao glanced at Master Jin Ming with the ponytail, quite an ordinary fellow, about one seventy-five in height with a well-proportioned body, coolly holding a cigar between his fingers. Even in public, he kept smoking, and he was chatting and laughing freely with Director Zhou.
“Is this Jin Ming really that incredible?” Wang Hao asked Cao Hua quietly, “Why does Director Zhao act like he’s seen a ghost upon seeing him?”
“No way, Teacher, you don’t know about Jin Ming?!” Cao Hua looked horrified, “His Jin Ming Dance Troupe is said to be the most profitable dance troupe in Zhonghai City! Many of the dance troupes used for big gala performances come from his team! Whether it’s commercial performances or TV station galas, they are top-notch! Just at the last Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, there were seven dance programs, and his troupe alone handled four! I didn’t expect him to come here with his team!”
Well, this Jin Ming does sound impressive!
If one gala had seven dance troupes and his troupe took four spots, that’s quite a capability!
Just as Wang Hao was thinking, Director Zhou actually brought Jin Ming over!
There must be something up!
It seemed like Zhao Yuanchun and Director Zhou hadn’t gotten along when they met before!
Sure enough, from a distance, Director Zhou from Zhonghai Performance Department started mocking, “Oh, isn’t this Director Zhao from Jinying? What’s this, coming to audition today?”
“Of course,” Zhao Yuanchun scoffed, “If Zhonghai can audition, why can’t we at Jinying?”
“Oh, sure, sure!” Director Zhou laughed, “I just fear your hopes aren’t high this time! I see the people you’ve brought. Doesn’t seem like they’re well-prepared, huh? Hehe, well, different sources of information lead to different outcomes. Too bad, Director Zhao, seems like you’re set for disappointment this time, hahaha!”
“What do you mean by that?” Zhao Yuanchun frowned, “Isn’t it just about expanding the scale of stage performers? Is your information better than mine?”
“Expanding the stage scale?!” As soon as Director Zhou heard this, his eyes widened and he burst into laughter, “Hahahaha, who told you about expanding the stage scale? You’ve got to be kidding me! It wasn’t that Liu Big Head, was it? That guy always spouts nonsense. You believed him?”
Now Zhao Yuanchun was foundering, surrounded by many students, and quickly said, “Isn’t it that, then what else could it be?”
“Well, since we’re colleagues, I’ll give you a heads up,” Director Zhou moved forward grinning, patting Zhao Yuanchun on the shoulder, “You’re still young, after all. This time, the Happy People Stage got orders from above. This year’s Spring Festival Gala, they’ll have programs recommended by the Zhonghai TV station! The Spring Festival Gala! What caliber is that! So, this time they mainly need dance teams, not skits or comedy. How could they possibly let your bunch of students go on stage?”
“What?!” Zhao Yuanchun was dumbfounded!
The students he’d brought today were all preparing for skits and dramatic performances, planning to take them to the big stage for some exposure, hoping for a chance at fame on TV. But now he found out they mainly needed dance teams; it should have been the dance department girls, not so many boys…
Damn! Serves you right for showing off earlier. Got slapped in the face now, huh? You ran here without reliable information, still praising Liu Big Head…
After Director Zhou said this, the girls from Zhonghai were snickering at Jinying’s side.
Being laughed at by a bunch of young girls, Cao Hua sulked, “Teacher, we’ve made a huge embarrassment of ourselves…”
“Ah, if I were you, I’d go back and bring someone else over now,” Director Zhou laughed and gave Zhao Yuanchun a pat on the shoulder, then smugly said, “But don’t worry, come here, let me introduce you,” he presented someone to Zhao Yuanchun, “Know who this is? The troupe leader of Jin Ming’s Dance Troupe, Master Jin Ming!”
The students from Jinying all starred in awe! This Master Jin Ming was a tough guy!
“This is Director Zhao Yuanchun from Jinying,” Director Zhou cheerfully introduced Jin Ming to Zhao Yuanchun, “Quite the young talent, only twenty-eight and already a deputy director. Not a small prospect! Just a bit unreliable, came in a rush this time, brought so few people, really a pity! But that’s no issue, wanting to get on the Spring Festival Gala, isn’t it just a word from Mr. Jin?”
That’s why you can’t show off in front of Brother Hao; otherwise, you’re bound for a swollen face. See, Brother Hao didn’t even need to do anything and you’ve already met a fiasco, right?
“Hello, hello,” Zhao Yuanchun’s face went green, today was a major loss of face!
“Nice to meet you,” Jin Ming holding his cigar extended his hand, “Once my team passes the selection, if you have any outstanding students who want a spot, just let me know, I can arrange it. It’s no trouble!”
“Thank you, thank you,” Zhao Yuanchun quickly shook hands with him, and said, “I definitely need to visit Mr. Jin when I have the chance!”
Faced with someone truly influential in the circle, Zhao Yuanchun had no choice but to bow his head.
After all, he was just bringing students for auditions. Jin Ming could send anyone he liked to the Spring Festival Gala directly! Not in the same league!
After all, with many people in the dance troupe, slipping in one or two was just too easy!
I must have gotten a fake luck system!
Today I went to watch a movie, “Star Wars” at 12:00, I arrived at 12:29. Then not enough money in my card, recharged 200, finished at 12:31, they stopped selling tickets 30 minutes after the show started.
I figured if they don’t sell, then fine, watch “Passengers” at 1:20, ends at 3:08, just when there was “Star Wars” at 3:00, I figured the timing was perfect, right? Went to buy “Star Wars” tickets.
No one watched, and “Star Wars” wasn’t shown for this session, had to wait for the 5:00 showing…
FML, do you understand how I felt then?
