The Lead Episode 2

Observing new surroundings

The lead singer is not so impressed with Laidi. She was expecting an older girl that could sing and was pretty. The uncle defends her and they start off by scrubbing her down and finding the girl under the sheep dirt and smells. She sees costumes and wigs which amaze and alarm her. She is told to eat and not begrudged food. The snoring contest between lead singer and Laidi 😂🤣 The cook’s son befriends Laidi and shows her where to find hidden food. She is soaking in the atmosphere and waits a full day before saying anything. Nobody knows what she is capable of yet. Not even she. Singing practice isn’t going so well but she gains cool points by calmly picking up the snake and tossing it out the window. Politics are dangerous at this time and the stunt with the letter has caused far more attention than usual. This changed who judged the tryouts making it look less and less likely Laidi could be pushed through. The understudy has been given the lead role and a secondary drummer wants uncle’s place. While the men started to argue, the new lead says she doesn’t want to perform with him. It is hard to describe this drama because it is one to just watch and absorb. The story flows smoothly and the dialogue is limited. It is more experiencing the artistic life of the troupe with singers , musicians and acrobats practicing. They are their own community and treat each other like family.
