Chapter 27: Small Goals

Obviously, noticing Bai Yuqian's happy expression, the head of the troupe laughed for a while, and then said with guilt: "We all know in our hearts that with your level, any dance troupe abroad earns more than us, and our conditions are here, we really can't afford to give too high a salary, and it's rare that you are willing to stay." ”

Bai Yuqian comforted the head of the regiment: "I mainly like the atmosphere of our group, in terms of income, I actually don't have too high requirements, but I plan to buy a house recently, and my money is a little tight, so I have a bit of copper smell, no, you have already helped me solve it!"

Such a response, obviously the head of the regiment listened very well: "Isn't it, at least I can give you a safe environment to engage in art, I'm afraid that one or two will follow the path of Ye Jiangjiang, and if it's not good, just learn from those stars to play big names, that's self-destructive future, fortunately, I have the bottom in my heart, we have Yu Qian, you Dinghaishen Needle, and ten more Ye Jiangjiang, it doesn't matter!"

"You are too exaggerated," Bai Yuqian shook her head and said frankly: "I am willing to take "Giselle" this time, on the one hand, I don't want the big guy to work hard until now, but he is busy in vain, especially those little girls, can they be on the stage once, on the other hand, ...... Isn't there a special session in Australia, I said don't be angry, I should visit relatives at public expense, and I plan to take the opportunity to see my son. ”

"You girl has something to say on the bright side, I like it!" The head of the regiment actually praised Bai Yuqian again.

Bai Yuqian was amused, and was about to go back to the big practice room, when the head of the troupe stopped her: "This time we want to do a special performance for foreign guests, the above attaches great importance to it, and also puts forward requirements, let us improve the quality of the stage, I used to appreciate a senior stage director of the Australian Ballet, I have been communicating with others for the past two days, and now I have received a reply, the other party will bring the team over to assist us in stage design." ”

Bai Yuqian's eyes immediately lit up: "I guess, the stage director you are talking about is Jenny Hawke?"

"It's her, and when I was doing the video connection, Ms. Hawke took the initiative to say that she knew you. ”

"I'm in Australia and Hawke and I've been very good friends. ”

The head of the regiment said with a smile: "Then it's done, the plane will come the day after tomorrow, you and I will pick up people together, it's so decided, let's go to rehearsal!"

After saying this, the head of the regiment turned around and went downstairs, Bai Yuqian looked at his back, and involuntarily curled the corners of his lips.

Jenny Hawke is a mutual friend of Bai Yuqian and her husband Qu Chen, and also their artistic confidant, for more than two years, every time Bai Yuqian returns to Australia, she has to meet and talk with Hawke, but she didn't expect that the two would have such a chance to work together again.

In the parking area outside the terminal of Rongcheng International Airport, the head of the regiment and Bai Yuqian, who was holding a bouquet of flowers, got off the business car and walked to the pick-up hall together.

"Ms. Hawke came over early this time, her team will arrive a little later," the head of the regiment told Bai Yuqian as he walked: "Go back and accompany Ms. Hawke to the Mandarin Hotel to check in, and then accompany her to dinner, today your task is completed, tomorrow her team will come over, let's hold a formal welcome dinner, people will help, we will always do the friendship of the landlord." ”

Of course, Bai Yuqian wants to make a scene: "Leader, you think so thoughtfully!"

The head of the troupe stopped and said something heart-wrenching: "Don't you think that the opportunity for our dance troupe to improve has arrived, if this special performance is successful, plus a series of domestic and foreign tours...... I have always had a small goal, within five years, our Banyan National Ballet will be among the top 10 in the world, no, the top 20!"

Seeing that the head of the regiment was so interested, Bai Yuqian casually made a joke: "Your small goal is not big, and you don't want to earn 100 million, I believe it will be achieved." ”

"You girl," the head of the regiment deliberately frowned: "The first time I say this in my heart, you will laugh at me?"

Bai Yuqian covered her mouth and laughed: "You are still quite trendy, you know 'self-hilarity', don't worry, let's follow you!"

Just when the head of the regiment couldn't laugh or cry, the airport radio rang out: "Flight QF107 from the direction of Sydney will arrive at Rongcheng International Airport in 20 minutes......"

"Hurry up, they're almost there!" the regiment commander greeted, and ran to the pick-up gate.

Half an hour later, a middle-aged blonde lady pushing a luggage cart walked out with the flow of people, and Bai Yuqian, who was standing in the waiting area, saw her at a glance and immediately raised her hands excitedly.

"See?" The regiment commander, who was playing the pick-up card, quickly raised his arms high.

After a while, the lady walked up to them and hugged Bai Yuqian, who had already opened her arms.

"Elaine, I'm so glad to see you in Rongcheng!" Hawke said excitedly.

Bai Yuqian kissed Hawke on the cheek: "Jenny, I'm so happy, welcome to Rongcheng!"

Stuffing flowers into Hawke's arms, Bai Yuqian immediately introduced her and the head of the group, and then, Bai Yuqian personally pushed Hawke's luggage cart and accompanied Hawke to the outside of the terminal with the head of the group.

"I received an invitation from the head of the troupe and learned that the leading actor was our Elaine, so I didn't need to think about it at all, I had to agree," Hawke put his arm around Bai Yuqian's shoulders and turned to the head of the troupe and said: "Elaine is the unique Giselle in my mind, she made her debut at the Sydney Opera House, it was the role of Giselle, I was the stage director at the time, she has a spirituality, it is so likeable!"

The head of the regiment nodded again and again: "Yu Qian is not only talented, but also very hard-working, and we feel very lucky to have such a chief." ”

Bai Yuqian's face was a little red when she was praised, and she subconsciously touched her face.

Hawke patted Bai Yuqian's back again: "Elaine, although everyone feels sorry for you to leave the Australian Ballet, but I am happy for you to see that you are still dancing, Kent once said that you are a natural ballet dancer," Hawke smiled: "I have watched the rehearsal video sent by the head of the troupe, whether it is in the stretch of the body and emotional expression, you have made greater progress, the only regret is ...... Your dance partner is no longer Kent. ”

The head of the regiment couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is Kent?"

Bai Yuqian didn't speak for a while, bowing her head and pushing the car.

"It's Elaine's husband," Hawke explained to the troupe leader, "Kent died in a car accident four years ago, and until then he had been Elaine's dance partner, and he was a very good ballet dancer. ”

Bai Yuqian's husband Qu Chen, who was her most tacit collaborator on the ballet stage, left forever after a man-made traffic accident, and since then, Bai Yuqian's world has lost a soul mate who can dance with her.
