Chapter 148: "Serving the Country with Loyalty"
The lunar calendar of 1997 did not have the Chinese New Year's Eve, so the 29th of the lunar month was Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On this day, the sky was blue, the sun was shining, and the air was a little cold, but it was more refreshing.
At noon, after an orderly transfer, more than 1,300 army soldiers were already sitting in the exercise square.
In front of them, a simple but atmospheric stage has been built.
The comrades-in-arms sat on the stools, looking at the stage with their necks tilted, and everyone looked slightly excited.
"It was said that Teacher Cai Jian was also here, but this time it won't be singing "We Are All Soldiers", right?"
"You haven't seen Teacher Zeng Xuehong, I heard that she will also come, her high voice is simply breaking through the sky, I especially like her "Drunk Song"!"
"Teacher Liu Huan is amazing, I like the sketches I perform!"
"You guys ignore Mr. Lei Weixian, his voice is like a subwoofer, it sounds exciting!"
"Hey, will they sing "Green Flowers in the Army"?"
"Yes, this song is roared and roared in our dormitory every day, but no one can play this song, I really want to listen to the full version, and one will do!"
"I also want to listen to "Green Flowers in the Army",, this song seems to be very popular in our Second Artillery Regiment, it seems to be made by a talent show singer, when I heard the squad leader sing this song, I cried when I heard it, this singer is really talented!"
"I also listen to "Green Flowers in the Army" ......"
In the discussion of thousands of soldiers in the square, behind the temporary stage, Li Qing, Cai Jian, Lei Weixian and others were discussing the order of appearance.
A moment later, a female host wearing a green military uniform, heroic posture, and extremely bright appearance walked over, asking the civilian cadres in the audience, and bending down to write the content of the host card and the order of the guests on the table.
"Li Qing?" When Li Qing was asked, the hostess raised her head and glanced at Li Qing in surprise: "You are Li Qing?"
"It's him!" Cai Jian smiled, and added at the end: "I brought it." ”
The hostess was a little surprised: "Okay, Mr. Cai, what the comrades-in-arms are looking forward to, what you bring to the comrades-in-arms, it is really a caring little padded jacket for the comrades-in-arms!"
Cai Jian laughed.
Li Qing said a little embarrassed: "When I first arrived, I didn't do anything right, so I ask Sister Duan to bear with me." ”
"Okay, the young man's mouth is so sweet!"
The hostess laughed.
After a while, she straightened up and said, "Teachers, then I'll play first, my comrades-in-arms can't wait, let's start quickly!"
Everyone smiled and agreed.
After the hostess took the stage, Li Qing heard the fierce shouts of thousands of fighters outside the venue.
The momentum was immense, swallowing mountains and rivers, and Li Qing instantly seemed to be like a battlefield where drums and horns were contending.
At the same time, a heat wave came from the front desk, and for a while, Li Qing was inexplicably excited.
"Don't be nervous!"
Cai Jian noticed the change in Li Qing's expression, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "I'll borrow your light today, wait for me to play first, after singing "We Are All Soldiers", you go on stage again, let's sing a song "Green Flowers in the Army" together, and then I'll go down, you sing your song...... What's it called?"
Li Qing hurriedly said: "Loyal to the Country." ”
"Not bad, yes, you know it's a good song when you hear the name!" Cai Jian said approvingly, and in the gap waiting for the play, Cai Jian came back to his senses and asked, "Does it have anything to do with Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold general in the Southern Song Dynasty?"
Li Qing said with a smile: "It's about Yue Fei's life as a horse!"
Yue Fei was a famous military strategist in the Southern Song Dynasty and a famous general of the anti-Jin Dynasty, and his life was extremely tragic. As the most outstanding commander of the Southern Song Dynasty, he attached great importance to the people's anti-Jin strength in the era when he was almost humiliated by the loss of power and humiliation, united with the rebel army, flanked the Jin army, and recovered the lost territory, and was one of the most famous national heroes in Chinese history.
At the same time, Yue Fei's literary talent is also rare among generals, and his immortal lyrics "Man Jianghong, Angry Hair Rushing to the Crown" is a patriotic masterpiece that has been recited through the ages, and has been adapted by many composers in modern times.
seemed to hear the conversation between the two, and next to him, Lei Weixian walked over with his hands behind his back, frowning, and strolling: "Xiao Li, you won't also be a song "Man Jianghong", right?"
"Li Qing, you have to change this, wait for Teacher Weixian to sing "Man Jianghong" too, if you are the same song, it will be a little inappropriate, and your comrades-in-arms will be unhappy. ”
Captain level, Liu Huan, the leading sketch actor of the Second Artillery Art Troupe, heard the voice at this time, and couldn't help but admonish.
Cai Jian frowned.
Li Qing paused, shook his head and said: "I haven't heard the song "Man Jianghong" for the time being, although it is about General Yue Fei, but my "Loyal to the Country" will definitely not be similar to "Man Jianghong" in terms of arrangement. ”
"The arrangement is nothing...... What about the words?" asked Lei Weixian.
The lyricist of "Man Jianghong" is Yue Fei, which is naturally rare in the world, and because Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong" lyrics have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no matter what kind of tune it is paired with, it is very smooth and passionate, and all versions have been widely sung.
Later, this "Man Jianghong" was also adapted into various instrumental songs, chorus songs, etc., which is enough to see how profound the Song lyrics of "Man Jianghong" are.
"The words are different, I wrote them myself. Li Qing said seriously.
When Lei Weixian heard this, he nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, very innovative, no wonder I can get the comments of "People's Daily", Xiao Li, I am optimistic about you, in fact, even if you sing "Man Jianghong", it is nothing, I am just worried about the mood of my comrades-in-arms." ”
This excuse is a bit perfunctory.
Li Qing smiled and didn't answer again.
Cai Jian glanced at Li Qing, and then the two walked to the corner.
"Are you sure?"
Cai Jian asked, "Whether my recommendation will be effective next year depends on your performance this time." After all, your qualifications are too low. Today, the head of our Second Artillery Art Troupe is also there, and it is a division-level leader with real power. You have to perform well, if you can get his approval, there is definitely a seventy or eighty percent probability that you will enter the art troupe next year. ”
Li Qing is not a rookie who has been in contact with the entertainment industry for the first day, and knows what Cai Jian's so-called grasp means.
On a stage like a large-scale party, it is easier for singers to be compared when they are in the same field.
If the singers sing the same songs, it's okay if their singing skills are comparable, but if the gap is too big, it will definitely be a devastating blow to the one with lower singing skills.
In Cai Jian's opinion, since Li Qing's "Serving the Country with Loyalty" is about Yue Fei, in terms of arrangement, it can't compare to the ancient famous word "Man Jianghong"!
Therefore, if there is no dazzling performance in the arrangement, I am afraid that Li Qing will be greeted with a thick layer of shadow.
A singer who is already at a disadvantage, and his stage performance is not outstanding, such a person, we may be able to enter the art troupe?
Especially when Li Qing heard the song "Man Jianghong", Cai Jian was even more worried.
"Can you change it?" I see you have a lot of tapes in your backpack. Cai Jian asked.
"No!"
Li Qing smiled and said confidently, "Don't worry!"
Looking at Li Qing's confident appearance, Cai Jian was still a little apprehensive.
However, Li Qing's words did not have any moisture, if "Serving the Country with Loyalty" was still underestimated, then all the songs written about Yue Fei would probably have to be thrown back to the manufacturing factory and rebuilt. (To be continued.) )
