National Tide 1980.

Chapter 168

In July 1981, the campus song "Olive Tree" from across the Taiwan Strait "wandered" to the capital.

The wandering feelings and sad nostalgia in the song are something that young people in the capital have never been exposed to.

And along with the popularity of this campus song, Qiong Yao's romance novels also caused a wave in the mainland.

In Qiong Yao's story mode, there is a set of formulas that will almost never change.

Women tend to be gentle and beautiful, while men are handsome and unrestrained.

They don't do anything but cry and fall in love.

Girls usually speak well, and boys always have a rich businessman father.

The two parties will instinctively hostile to each other because of the disparity between rich and poor, and then emotionally torture each other.

But girls are poor and have ambitions, and boys are willing to abandon their family fortunes for their lovers.

In the end, the rich businessman's dad will be moved by their innocent love.

Cinderella finally achieved a positive result and was able to marry into a wealthy family.

Because the boys and girls in the mainland have never seen this kind of Cinderella-like fairy tale used in a love story.

So for them, the experience of seeing Qiong Yao's works for the first time is tantamount to discovering a mysterious garden composed of romance, lingering, lovesickness and sorrow.

They were surprised to find that love can be expressed in such a romantic way.

So they are all attracted by the twists and turns of the plot, the love relationship of triangle, four corners, and even five corners, and are deeply addicted to it.

As a result, many middle school and high school students who go to school buy Qiong Yao's books in order to save money.

Going to school on an empty stomach, or lying about teaching materials and stationery fees.

It hurts the body and affects the studies.

In addition, the phenomenon of puppy love has also begun to appear.

Therefore, some people say that Qiong Yao's book is a spiritual opium that poisons young people, and some people say that she ignited Cinderella's dream for girls in the mainland.

Perhaps, most things in this world will always be like this.

In the eyes of different people, you will get completely opposite evaluations.

It is similar to the effect caused by Qiong Yao's novels, under the pressure and resistance that the current social environment generally does not understand.

Ning Weimin also successfully led Qu Xiao and Shi Kaili onto the road of supermodels.

Let them see more and more clearly a glamorous life that is completely different from ordinary people.

Of course, just relying on the touch of that conversation, the little temptation of a lipstick, definitely won't work.

That was just a decent start.

In fact, what Ning Weimin did for the two girls later was far more than that.

In addition to encouragement and psychological comfort anytime and anywhere, Ning Weimin also specially found tickets for "Roman Holiday" and "Blue Bridge" for the two girls.

By taking them to watch an in-house movie, let them intuitively appreciate what kind of elegance and beauty a tall girl like them can present.

In order to respond to the coach's request that the two girls practice more steps in private, Ning Weimin specially asked the coach to string a music tape.Then I used the small tape recorder and earphones that I and Zhang Shihui used to learn English for the two girls, and asked them to go home to find their feelings and practice more.

In this way, both Qu Xiao and Shi Kaili were deeply encouraged by Ning Weimin's sincerity.

From Ning Weimin's efforts, they could feel his respect.

So the minds of the two girls settled down, the practice became serious, and the training began to be on the right track.

They even work unexpectedly.

In order to increase their practice time, they discussed an idea.

That is, after training every night, the two of them would go from Gulou to Chang'an Avenue together, and then take bus No. 1 and No. 8 to go home separately.

Speaking of it, this distance is definitely not close, it takes almost nine miles.

And at this time in the capital, at ninety o'clock in the evening, the streets are very dark.

Not only were there few streetlights, but they weren't bright enough.

Even on Chang'an Avenue, except for the occasional sprinkler, there are no people.

But Qu Xiao and Shi Kaili are willing to walk back like this every day.

They put on headphones, listen to music, and experience the technical essentials taught by the coach and the rhythm of the music while walking.

Needless to say, after Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui knew about it, they were naturally obliged to act as bodyguards.

Every day, I have to accompany two hard-working girls all the way to Chang'an Avenue.

As a result, the night shift workers and cleaners on Chang'an Street in Beijing can often see a strange scene on July nights.

Almost every day at a fixed time, there are two men and two women, and there are neat clicking sounds under their feet.

Side by side from Nanheyan Avenue on the east side of the Forbidden City, they walked together on the empty East Chang'an Avenue.

They didn't look like lovers, nor did they look like brothers and sisters. They didn't talk to each other, they just walked away in high spirits.

This, of course, seems strange to those who know nothing about fashion models.

But just like that, the days of training passed day by day, and the effect of training began to show.

During the good time that Ning Weimin and the others spent together, they not only left close memories with each other, but also began to feel the joy of walking.

Even Ning Weimin himself was surprised to find out.

The sense of pleasure and self-confidence inspired by the integration of pace and music is actually better than all material enjoyment.

Especially the two girls, it is definitely very different from the past.

Their persistence and hard work proved not only their perseverance, but also their talent.

Both Taldor and Shireen began to pay them more and more praise and attention.

They also use their posture and steps more to demonstrate to the old players.

In fact, according to common sense, the better Qu Xiao and Shi Kaili performed, the other members of the team would naturally feel threatened.

It is very likely that you will be repelled and hostile by the old players.

But this era is a little bit different.

The ethos of fair play in the team is healthy.

Everyone has a sportsmanship that focuses on participation, friendship first, and competition second.

On the contrary, because they share the same illness and sympathize with each other, they can rely on each other to relieve the pressure and troubles of the outside world, and they get along well.

In addition, since Ning Weimin joined the team, he didn't just focus on the two girls.

He is very aware of his true role in the model team, and has also done a lot of good deeds for everyone.

For example, although there are no band-aids these days.

But Ning Weimin got iodine and cotton swabs for the girls in the team to treat their injured feet.

Adhesive plaster is applied to the inside of the high heel or the friction area, which can relieve pain.

For another example, Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui also "set up" a "magnetism" with a small restaurant next to the Drum Tower.

Every day, a large bucket of hot tea will be brought from the small restaurant, and twenty large bowls will replenish water for everyone and solve the problem of drinking water.

Also during the usual training sessions, Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui would speak stumbling English to help everyone communicate with the two coaches and discuss issues.

So naturally, the old team members became more and more fond of the four of them, and accepted them to join the group smoothly.

Even under the influence of a few of them, some people spontaneously joined their team walking home at night.

Every day, I "click" the road with them, walking from the Drum Tower to East Chang'an Avenue.

To be honest, at the beginning, the old players held a certain indifference and distance towards Ning Weimin and the others.

In fact, it's not because I like to discuss seniority and form small circles.

The key is still not convinced that they can really stick to it and become real partners.

Undoubtedly, both Pierre Carton and Song Huagui are quite satisfied with such a result.

Now the two of them no longer have to go to the team to watch training every day.

Pierre Caton came to visit once every three or four days, and Song Huagui visited every two or three days, and they both felt relieved about the model training.

Moreover, Song Huagui also followed Ning Weimin's advice, and got five small tape recorders, which he lent to the team members in turn.

Then it was announced publicly that the performance will be in October, and there are more than 100 sets of costumes, everyone should have the opportunity to be on stage.

These two things made everyone even more joyful.

And precisely because Ning Weimin is so popular, he is actually an indispensable person in the team.

As a result, the two male models who came to report later, Yang Wei, who is 1.8 meters five, and Wang Jian, who is 1.8 meters two, were really rejected.

Everyone seems to be a little worried that Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui will be eliminated because of their height disadvantage, which will squeeze out the chance to appear on stage.

Of course, Ning Weimin would not let this kind of thing happen, and whether he was on stage or not was not his goal.

So his generosity is more trusted and recognized by everyone.

If it is really necessary for everyone to choose a captain at this time, I believe it will be him.

Because after all, not everyone has his kind of heart, such ability, and can make every aspect of the team go round.

This ability to convince people is called credibility.
