"Supervisor Song, could you please let me release Lu Qiao from the solitary room?"
"Did she write a self-criticism?" Song Bin pretended to be serious: "How many times has this been the solitary confinement room? It is our responsibility to have superiors come to inspect. A criminal is repeatedly worried about reforming, and there is no way to explain it."
Gao Xiaodan smiled: "I think it's almost the same. I heard from the Education Department that Lu Qiao's class was very good. All the police officers present agreed that it was very good. It not only mobilized the students' enthusiasm for class, but also made the students emotional and entertaining. . If students are always taken out of the solitary room during class and put into the solitary room again after class, I am afraid it will also affect the quality of teaching."
Song Bin did not say a word. He had long wanted to get Lu Qiao out of the solitary room, but Gao Xiaodan didn't think so. But from another perspective, I feel very uneasy. In the past few months, the two so-called "husbands" who were able to frighten the police officers but could not frighten him actually did not provoke him again. Is it because he was locked in a solitary cell and his "family members" could not see him?
Song Bin is not sure. But at least the two "husbands" didn't meet him, and the chance of being irritated was much smaller. "Okay. You go and do it. But she needs to have a deep understanding."
Gao Xiaodan said: "Okay. I will follow your request and let Lu Qiao make an in-depth inspection." After a while, Gao Xiaodan said: "Prisoner Song, there may be some problems with our prison participating in the 60th anniversary performance of the provincial prison system. "
"What's the problem?" Song Bin attached great importance to the performance that the prison participated in, and asked Gao Xiaodan as soon as he heard that there was a problem.
"The Education Department went to other brother prisons to find out the situation. This time, the Provincial Department of Justice set up awards for participating in the performance. Each prison was very motivated and worked hard to put out the best programs. The level of our art team is average, and these criminals are all Without basic skills, the possibility of winning the championship is estimated to be very small.¡±
"It's not distinctive, is it?" Song Bin understood what Gao Xiaodan said. "what's your plan?"
"I heard, I just heard, I heard that Lu Qiao is good at playing, playing and singing. Can we use Lu Qiao and let her design her own program with the goal of winning the championship?"
Song Bin suppressed his excitement when he heard Lu Qiao's name and asked, "How did you know that Lu Qiao is good at playing, playing and singing?"
Gao Xiaodan simply sat across from Song Bin's desk: "Don't the teaching team and the art team belong to the same education department? I heard the criminals in the art team talk about it."
Song Bin smiled: "What's the use of just talking? A few years ago, a criminal came to prison and said he could play the piano. The prison even bought a piano. But what happened? He couldn't play at all. He was just fooling people."
"The criminals from the art team said that during their training, Lu Qiao also tutored them in basic skills and helped them test the scales and ranges of all the instruments. A criminal said that one time, Lu Qiao was still playing on the instrument that had been there for a long time. After looking at the piano for a long time, I asked the police officer for permission and played a piece of music.¡±
"Really?" Song Bin became interested: "You contact the police officer on duty at the time and ask how Lu Qiao plays? If it works, give the piano to Lu Qiao and let Lu Qiao design the performance for us. The purpose of the program is to win the championship!¡±
"I think so too. What the Education Department learned from visiting other brother prisons is that most of the programs are singing and dancing, and there are very few instrumental music. Those who can play the piano are very rare." Gao Xiaodan probably had an idea in his mind. It's just that I didn't go into details. She always felt that Song Bin's attitude towards Lu Qiao was too harsh, which made it difficult for her, the warden in charge, to develop in many aspects.
After all, Gao Xiaodan is not the "roundworm" in Song Bin's belly. If Song Bin didn't adopt such a stern attitude, wouldn't his "tail" be stepped on by these female police officers? Song Bin is a veteran in politics. You Gao Xiaodan should learn from it slowly.
Lu Qiao was released from the solitary room again. Deputy Warden Gao Xiaodan personally talked to Lu Qiao. The content is as follows:
"If you, Lu Qiao, can design and arrange a program to participate in the provincial prison system's performance celebrating the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and win the first prize, the prison will report it to the Provincial Prison Bureau for your personal credit; if the program wins the second prize, all awards will be given Participating criminals each receive 5 points; if they win the third prize, each criminal will be rewarded with 3 points. If you do not get the ranking, your reward points will be deducted."
After finishing speaking, Gao Xiaodan asked: "Lu Qiao, tell me what you think."
Lu Qiao said: "Since I am participating in the competition, of course I want to strive for meritorious service rewards. However, my request is: every criminal participating in the competition should be rewarded with 10 points!"
What a loud tone! Gao Xiaodan was excited but also felt that Lu Qiao was really difficult to control. After thinking about it, he said: "You should be prepared first. Time is running out. You only have ten days, and you have to be responsible for your own teaching tasks. We will study the conditions you proposed in the prison. No matter what the results of the study are, we will Can't affect this time??Participate in the show. Otherwise, it would not be a case of you negotiating terms with me, and you would know it even if I didn¡¯t tell you! "
Lu Qiao smiled and said, "Okay. But I can't take on the task of wiping the restaurant table for the time being. Otherwise, there will be too many renovation tasks and I won't be able to guarantee the championship."
Gao Xiaodan was shocked! But there was nothing I could do, so I said, "Okay. You don't have to wipe the dining table while you're preparing to appear on the show!"
Lu Qiao won again.
After Gao Xiaodan truthfully reported to Song Bin, Song Bin first shook his head in disbelief, then smiled helplessly and said, "Okay! Agree to her conditions! You can only tell whether it is a mule or a horse by pulling it out for a ride. This is Lu Qiao! Since she dares to put forward conditions, she has the courage to take on the responsibility of winning the championship in this performance."
Gao Xiaodan was very happy. After all, the conditions proposed by Lu Qiao were concessions that had never been seen before in prison.
Song Bin added: "In order to ensure this performance, you tell the district chief and instructor of the ninth district to provide Lu Qiao with all possible conditions and go all out to win the championship across the province!"
Lu Qiao has no way out. When Deputy Warden Gao Xiaodan formally informed her that the prison agreed to her conditions, Lu Qiao didn't look relaxed. The condition is that if the negotiation is successful, as long as he gets first place, he may get another chance to reduce his sentence for meritorious service, and he can also get 10 points for each of the other criminals participating in the competition. The question is, what kind of candidates and difficulties will be placed in front of her?
The first thing is to participate in the program concept. After thinking about it for a day and a night, I came up with the idea.
The next step is the selection of actors. It is set that the height of participating actors must be above 1.65 meters. As a result, only 6 actors in the art team met the required height. After Lu Qiao reported it to the police officer, the police officer took her to various workshops to search, and finally found four criminals who met the height requirements and were temporarily transferred to the art team.
The last step is the choice of stage lighting and costumes. Lu Qiao requested that it must be the largest five-star red flag and red silk of the same color. The police officer asked if he wanted to ask a tailor to make it. Lu Qiao shook his head: "Just ask the police officer to buy it. I'll do it."
In addition to ensuring three meals a day for the prisoners, the Ninth Ward District spent the rest of the time around Lu Qiao doing logistics. The Education Department also went all out. Three days before the rehearsal, in order to ensure Lu Qiao's rehearsal, even the criminal trainees All classes were stopped.
Everyone¡¯s eyes were all turned to Lu Qiao. But the wind is loud and the rain is light. I saw Lu Qiao blah blah blah blah directing the actors, but no sound of music entered the police officer's ears. Even the purchased five-star red flag and red silk were placed there without anyone touching them.
The day before the rehearsal, the police officers finally lost their composure, and all kinds of sounds poured into Lu Qiao's ears. One of the loudest voices said: "If Lu Qiao messes up this time, he will probably be sentenced to another term if it is not as easy as being put in solitary confinement!"
The performance program for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China was placed in Lu Qiao's hands. Not only the police officers were sweating, but Gao Xiaodan was also sweating. If it fails, it is a trivial matter for Song Bin to blame himself, and he may wear any hat.
On the day of the rehearsal, the criminals who were cooking and cooking in the 9th Ward worked hard to get the piano onto the stage of the prison auditorium. Lu Qiao went into the sound room to explain the sound and lighting matters. Then he took the ten female prisoners of the same height and hid in the dressing room behind the stage to put on makeup.
Lu Qiao did not allow the police officers to enter the dressing room to supervise. The police officers looked at the red silk cloth and wondered how many hanging ropes could be made. They looked at the "beating" Lu Qiao with fear, and the nervousness in their hearts was obvious. Lu Qiao swore to the police officers and said, "Can I promise that no one will hang himself? If something happens, can the police officers take me out and shoot me a hundred times?"
In order to prevent outsiders, Gao Xiaodan brought armed police into the auditorium and occupied many high points.
All the heads and brains of the prison arrived, all the head and brain of each function department arrived, and all the police officers and supervisors and instructor of all supervisors were all present.
Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on the curtain, waiting to see Lu Qiao¡¯s rehearsal, which basically had no formal rehearsals.
Only Song Bin remembered the words of Director Liu of the Department of Justice and Director Xie of the Bureau of Prisons: "Lu Qiao is a very good person." He crossed his arms in front of his chest, calm and smiling. It was not necessarily clear whether he was hiding his uneasiness. . But his calmness gave Gao Xiaodan reassurance after all.
The head of the Education Section finally took the microphone and pretended to be calm and announced: The rehearsal for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China begins now. The program is: "My Motherland and Me".
The curtain slowly opened - a piano was placed diagonally on the left side of the stage. Lu Qiao was wrapped with a piece of red silk that had not been cut at all, from the chest to the heels, and then wrapped with another piece of red silk diagonally across the shoulders. Wrapped up, it looks like a long skirt as a whole, elegant and solemn. She has a headset on, walked gracefully to the front of the stage, saluted the audience, walked to the piano, and played the prelude of "My Motherland and Me" while standing.
Waltz is the melody of waltz! The police officers in the audience were immediately attracted. As soon as the entrance was over, five tall women wearing national flags floated out from the side of the stage. Red silk was used as a streamer. One was tied around the neck and floated behind them; OK, the movements are clear, simple and uniform, which not only makes up for the actor's lack of basic skills, but also highlights the rule that waltzes must have consistent and repeated movements.
"My motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment. No matter where I go, a hymn flows out" Lu Qiao started singing while playing. At the same time, five other criminals appeared from the side of the stage following the singing and joined in the singing. The other five criminals on the stage joined together, rising and falling, with uniform movements, changing formations, and flowing through the entire stage like flowing water.
It makes sense for Lu Qiao to play the piano while standing. The feet of the piano were padded with round iron blocks of the same size and height that were specially selected from the forging workshop in advance. This avoided the disadvantage of Lu Qiao bending over to play, and allowed him to perform dance moves while playing. When Lu Qiao sang to the second verse while playing, Lu Qiao played a one-part tune but sang a two-part song, which inadvertently increased the difficulty of singing. If you are not careful, you will go out of tune. At the same time, you have to make dance moves and play with one hand, which is really difficult. It is precisely because of this that he can get high marks from the judges when he officially participates in the performance.
Song Bin took the lead in applauding.
Usually we only see these criminal actors walking around on stage, but we don¡¯t see many actual rehearsals. The reason is this: because Lu Qiao puts all the pressure on himself. It was only then that the police officers suddenly realized!
Gao Xiaodan smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He turned to Song Bin and said, "Supervisor Song, how are you? Are you sure of winning the championship?"
Song Bin smiled and did not answer: "There is only one thing missing. Send people to the city to buy them the best headwear. The only thing missing is the headwear. Those piano feet are too ugly. Find a way to package them up. Send our police officers to do these tasks. Do it, give it your all.¡±
Gao Xiaodan said: "I promise to complete the task."
Song Bin stood up from his seat and said, "Lu Qiao, come to the front desk and I'll ask you something."
Lu Qiao took off his headset and said, "Report to the warden, please."
Song Bin asked: "If you can't get off the stage after this show is over, do you have any second-hand preparations?"
"Yes." Based on Lu Qiao's past experience, the warden still needed to explain this matter, so he smiled and said, "I have been prepared for it."
"What music have you prepared?" Song Bin asked.
""Butterfly Lovers", is that okay, Warden?"
"You play it for all of us to listen to."
"Okay." Lu Qiao still stood and played, swaying her red dress with the rhythm and reverie brought by the music.
A piano piece of "Butterfly Lovers" echoed in the sky above the auditorium and floated out of the auditorium. It was sad and beautiful. It can't help but make people think about it, and the heart trembles with that beautiful love.
Song Bin¡¯s heart was taken away by Lu Qiao¡¯s sadness and sadness.
