(18) The performance was a complete success
Soon, there were only two shows left for the show, and we were told to go backstage to prepare. When I got backstage, I started to get nervous again, but in order not to affect everyone, I could only pretend to be calm, and keep squeezing my hands while making sure that there were no problems with the actors, clothes, and props one by one. After making sure that nothing was wrong, I took the props that I would use for a while, stood aside and followed them anxiously waiting for Cao Yunxiao to call us on stage.
I was temporarily caught by the props team to help, because we had a lot of props and scene setups, and I was the only one who was familiar with the whole storyline and hadn't performed yet, so I was naturally requisitioned by the props team. I'm very happy that I can do a little more for them, but my mindset has changed because of this, and I am nervous and worried that I will make a little mistake and affect their performance.
It's nothing if it's just a simple nervousness, and with this kind of fear of making mistakes, before the last show was finished, I began to feel difficult to breathe, and even my heartbeat felt a little uncomfortable, as if if if my whole heart would jump out if I tried harder. This feeling made me a little dizzy, and I couldn't help but help Cao Yunxiao, and then squatted down directly.
Of course, Cao Yunxiao knew that I had this problem, and when I touched him, he had already reacted to what was going on. Seeing me squatting, he immediately took out my favorite strawberry candy from his suit pocket, stuffed it into my mouth forcefully, and then squatted next to me, protected me in his arms, and comforted me softly:
"Xiaobai, relax, don't be nervous, it's okay, I've rehearsed so many times, there will be no problems. Don't worry, everything has me, I'm here, even if something goes wrong, I can solve it, you don't have to worry. ”
The smooth and sweet taste of strawberry candy and Cao Yunxiao's clear and gentle voice like a clear sky made me gradually stabilize my mood like a tranquilizer. And when he finished speaking, the performance on stage was also coming to an end. When he saw that I didn't speak, he was afraid that I hadn't recovered yet, so he handed the host to his partner, asking her to do him a favor so that he could stay with me.
The female classmate never thought that such a thing would happen, and she looked at us blankly with the host speech handed to her by Cao Yunxiao, completely unclear about the situation. I glanced up at the helpless girl, then forced myself to take a deep breath, reluctantly got up, and shook my head at Cao Yunxiao:
"I'm fine, you hurry up and get ready to go on stage. I still have my own work to do, so don't delay. ”
"But ......"
"I'm really fine, go quickly, the actors are going to take a curtain call."
As I spoke, I took Cao Yunxiao's presiding speech from the hand of the female classmate next to me and stuffed it into his hand, and pushed him onto the stage, without giving him a chance to react at all. And the female classmate stood aside and watched the two of us the whole time, until Cao Yunxiao had already begun to report the curtain, and her eyes were still a little straight.
I really didn't have time to explain to her what was going on, so while Cao Yunxiao was talking, I quickly found the large army and followed them to place props behind the curtain. After making sure that there was no problem with the placement of the props in the first act, I whispered a word of cheer to the actors who were posing, and then took the microphone handed to me by the support staff and stood in the middle of the stage.
Cao Yunxiao's voice stopped completely after about five seconds, and in his place was the sound of metal rubbing between the metals as the curtain opened. My heart began to beat more and more violently as the sound began, and by the end I felt like it was almost leaving me. When the curtain was lifted, a huge beam of light suddenly hit me, almost shaking my eyes. I could feel the temperature around me rise more than one degree in an instant because of the light, but somehow, my nervous and flustered heart settled down in an instant. I looked at the countless pairs of eyes in the audience staring at us, calmly picked up the microphone, and then said the only "line" that belonged to me in the whole play in a calm but firm voice that I had never used before:
"Welcome to Snow White's fairytale world."
Maybe it was because I had been looking forward to it for a long time, or because I was glad that I had finally made it to the last show, and as soon as my voice fell, the audience burst into violent applause.
I almost ran away in such applause, and when I was stopped by Cao Yunxiao, my whole body was still in a blank state.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, are you okay?"
Looking at my almost sloppy eyes, I thought that Cao Yunxiao must have made a lot of effort to control the idea of slapping me twice, just kept shaking me, trying to make me sober. I was in a daze until he nearly shook me apart, barely regaining my consciousness, and as soon as I realized that the show had begun, I shook off his hand and nervously shifted my gaze to the stage.
Although I could still tell that my friends were a little nervous, they were obviously more open than they were during rehearsals. Not only did the lines that often go wrong not have a little problem, but there was also no mistake in the process of various connections. And Fu Chengwen cooperates with them very well, and the beginning and end of the soundtrack can almost be called just right, setting off the entire atmosphere of the environment very well.
