Chapter 517: When Christmas Comes to the Town
Wang Yaning wanted to call Xiao Celery them, but was stopped by Zhang Zi'an, and it wasn't until their rehearsal was over that he shouted: "Little Celery!
Lu Yiyun also smiled and waved his hand to Xiao Celery, "Little celery, I'm here to cheer!"
Little Celery ran over excitedly, her little face red from the cold weather, but she was still in good spirits.
In addition to her, another boy with glasses also came along, the former bear child Xiao Yile, who also played a role in the performance, responsible for playing the customer of the pet store.
The other students stayed where they were resting because they didn't know Zhang Zi'an, but their eyes were completely attracted by the pets and elves that Zhang Zi'an brought.
"Brother shopkeeper, what are you doing here?" asked Celery, who said hello curiously as she looked at the kitten and puppy full of tricycles.
Wang Yaning hurriedly told Zhang Zi'an's thoughts, Xiao Celery's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she quickly turned around and called all her companions over, and everyone discussed it together.
Xiao Yile saw the sea of stars, he was deeply impressed by this silver-gray eyes kitten, he was in awe and awe of it, and he was restrained in front of it as if he was in front of the principal.
"It just so happens that we have just reached the final stage of rehearsal, and we stopped to rest because there are no dogs to pull the sled, so why don't we rehearse again from scratch?" Xiao Yile proposed.
The students hit it off, and anyway, they were still wearing costumes, and they tirelessly rehearsed again.
In order to cooperate with their rehearsal, Zhang Zi'an tied the other end of the Pegasus and Zhantian leashes to the sleigh - he deliberately left the leash of Pegasus longer, so that Pegasus would be about 1/3 of a position ahead when pulling the sled, just like the Eskimo dog team must have a lead dog.
As for the kittens, the puppies can't be taken out for the time being, otherwise after being seen by others, it will not be so unexpected when they are actually performed.
He stared at Zhan Tian nervously, for fear that Zhan Tian would make a mistake in the performance and make these children's hard work go to waste.
But fortunately, Pegasus played a good role as the lead dog, and the little celery sitting on the sleigh asked it to go as it wanted, and the slightly lagging Zhantian only had to follow in its footsteps.
The rehearsal was smooth and successful, the children corrected some of the mistakes they had made, and the whole rehearsal was completed in one go, and at the end the appearance of Celery sitting on the sleigh was perfect.
Before the only few audience members had time to applaud, Wang Yaning's mobile phone suddenly rang, she answered the phone and said a few words, then hung up the phone in a panic and said: "It was the head teacher who called, she said that the class in front of us gave up the performance, and our class is going to play in advance, everyone go quickly!"
When the children heard this, their joyful mood due to the success of the rehearsal suddenly became nervous, and their little faces were all tense.
Zhang Zi'an played the role of a mature adult at the right time, and comforted: "Don't panic, everyone! You have rehearsed well, as long as you play normally on the stage, I am very optimistic about you!"
However, his words were not convincing, and the children were still nervous.
"You don't know, right? I'm a professional, I said you can do it, you will do it!" Zhang Zi'an knew that what the children needed most at this time was confidence, so he took out the work card of the "War Dog" crew and the pass of Binhai Film and Television City from his pocket and showed them it.
"See, I've been on a movie set, and in my opinion, your performances aren't much worse than those professional actors. He patted his chest and assured.
"Wow, uncle, have you really made a movie?" exclaimed a little boy in surprise.
"Of course, I'll show you a picture of me when I was on the set. Zhang Zi'an showed them the photos in the mobile phone gallery again.
A child with sharp eyes pointed to the photo of Zhang Zi'an and Feng Xuan and said: "I have seen this person on TV, he is a very famous director!"
Another child also pointed to the photo of Feimas and Lin Feng, "Isn't this Lin Feng?
"Now believe it, right? I'm not talking about it, your performance is really good, as long as you bravely face the audience on the stage and play normally, you will definitely be able to achieve a good ranking!" Zhang Zi'an put away his mobile phone and encouraged.
The children's morale was boosted.
Time was tight, and Wang Yaning urged them again to go backstage to report, otherwise they might be sentenced to abstain.
Zhang Zi'an and a few others followed the children into the auditorium and went around to the backstage. Little Celery and the others have already put on their costumes, saving the trouble of going to the dressing room to change clothes, and go directly behind the curtain to get ready to play.
The previous show has ended, and the host, who is also a primary school student, is predicting in a childish voice - "The next show, "The fairy tale pet shop, the actors are invited to appear!"
"Come on, everyone!" Zhang Zi'an whispered encouraging.
A few kids went on stage, and Santa Claus, played by Celery, didn't appear until the last act, and there was still some time. Wang Qian, Li Kun and Lu Yiyun were busy moving the flight case into the background, Xiao Celery was holding the cloth bag, Zhang Zi'an picked up the kittens and puppies and put them in the pocket, although it was a little crowded, but as long as they held on for a while.
With Fina there, the kittens all kept their mouths shut and didn't bark. The puppies occasionally barked, but the sound was completely muffled by the lines on stage and the laughter and applause of the audience.
Behind the curtain, there were some faculty and staff who temporarily served as staff, and they couldn't help but show a look of surprise on their faces when they saw Zhang Zi'an bring so many cats and dogs. Xiao Celery's homeroom teacher may have greeted them in advance, although these teachers and staff were surprised, they didn't say anything, and let Zhang Zi'an and them prepare.
Taking advantage of the break between putting pets in the cloth pocket, Zhang Zi'an took the time to take a look at the stage, the children were all very good, except for the inevitable nervousness at the beginning, they slowly adapted to the stage, lighting and audience, and played the level of the previous rehearsal well.
The audience was black, and the entire auditorium was almost full. In the front row are the leaders of the school, and in the back are 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 the show before sat on the ground and watched the performance carefully.
"Mr. Storekeeper, 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 ready to wait under the stage to answer." ”
Zhang Zi'an gestured, indicating that he knew.
Wang Yaning did not participate in the performance, but she watched the rehearsal throughout the whole process and knew the progress of the performance well. She looked at it and reminded, "Little celery, get ready, it's time for you to play." ”
Little Celery unconsciously touched her pasted beard and eyebrows, for fear that they would suddenly fall off, which was also a sign of nervousness.
"Little celery. Zhang Zi'an said.
She looked back.
"Who's I bring?" he said, juggling, pulling out two cages from behind him, one containing a hamster from a pet store and one with lop ears.
"It's Xiaoling and Ears!" Xiao Celery was pleasantly surprised, "Brother store manager, you brought them!"
"That's right, because they're little celery's friends. They whispered to me that they wanted to see the celery show too, so I brought them with me. Zhang Zi'an smiled, "Don't let them down!"
At this moment, Richard, who was shrunk in his hood, said in a soft and thin voice: "Little celery, I am the ear, you have to come on!"
Before the words fell, Richard changed to a different voice, "I'm Xiaoling, come to cheer for little celery!"
Xiao Celery clenched her little hands excitedly, "Thank you, Xiaoling, Ear, I'll do my best!"
Wang Yaning was stunned next to her, she clearly saw Zhang Zi'an closing his mouth, but two child-like voices came from him, could it really be a hamster and a lop-eared rabbit talking?
Before she could understand, Little Celery had already pulled the leash and said, "Let's go!"
When Pegasus and Zhan Tian received the order, they immediately moved. The sleigh was carrying small celery and a dozen kittens and puppies, and the weight was really not light, and their leash was instantly stretched straight, but they still dragged the sled into the stadium smoothly.
Including the school leaders, the audience in the audience saw that there were really two German pastors pulling sleds, and they immediately exclaimed, and at the same time they were a little worried, worried that these two German pastors would not bite the children.
Their worries were completely unnecessary, and Pegasus and Zhan Tian behaved in a proper manner, without the slightest sign of hurting people.
Zhan Tian was a little afraid of the stage lights, but fortunately, Zhang Zi'an's training had been effective in the past few days, and Feimars played the role of the lead dog brilliantly, which made it calm down quickly.
"It's your turn. Zhang Zi'an said.
"Quack! Let you see what Uncle Ben is capable of!"
Richard jumped out of Zhang Zi'an's hood, fluttered his wings and landed on Zhang Zi'an's shoulder, singing with a voice that resembles a famous European and American child star, and singing the theme song of "Polar Express".
"La, la, la, la......"
"I made a wish to the stars, and tried to believe—"
"He'll look for me on Christmas Eve, though it's a long way off—"
"I think Santa Claus is busy because he never visits-"
"Christmas is on town, and I'm missing him—"
"It's the best time of the year, when everyone comes home, and no one feels lonely—"
"Put up a Christmas tree and get your friends together—"
"I'm so glad that Christmas is on town—"
"Get ready for a colorful gift—"
"All the legends I have only heard, but I have not seen—"
"No one sleeps on Christmas Eve, waiting for Santa Claus—"
"When Santa's sleigh bell rang, I listened, and the angels sang—"
"I didn't hear a voice, the children got back their lost dreams—"
"That's all I want, when Christmas comes to town—"
Richard's singing voice is melodious, like a natural sound, completely at the level of a top singer, and when you listen to it, it is not a recording, and the audience is fascinated by it, and they all look at the curtain, guessing who is singing behind the scenes.
Even Celery's classmates were stunned - it wasn't part of the rehearsal, but it happened to fit perfectly with the plot of their performance.
Pegasus and Zhan Tian smoothly pulled the sleigh around the stage for several weeks, and with Richard's singing, Celery also untied the ties of the cloth bag in time, and one by one the kittens and puppies jumped out of the cloth bag and jumped off the stage happily, meowing and rushing towards the audience.
The atmosphere of the whole auditorium was brought to a climax!
