Although the lyrics of the song "The Sun is the Reddest, the Chairman is the Dearest" are simple, they sound like vernacular. But it contains deep feelings and expresses the people's infinite respect and admiration for the Chairman.
In the opinion of the political commissar, this is a good song.
Moreover, the art troupe has been established for decades, and the songs they sing are all songs written by others, and the dances they dance are all choreographed by others, and there are still no original works that can stand out.
The song "The Sun is Reddest, the Chairman is Dearest" has touching lyrics and beautiful melody. In his opinion, it is a rare masterpiece and will definitely add glory to the art troupe.
Therefore, he was very happy, "Liu Feng, you are really talented this time. This song is very good."
"Thank you, political commissar, for the compliment." Xiang Nan nodded and said modestly, "I went to Yanjing this time and felt the greatness of the chairman, so I was inspired."
"Yes, the chairman is so great." The political commissar agreed, and then he called for the first captain of the band and the second captain of the song and dance team.
"Look, you two, this is a song written by Liu Feng." The political commissar handed the lyrics to the two of them and said.
"Liu Feng can write songs?!" The first captain and the second captain were both quite surprised when they heard this.
Liu Feng can't even sing well, but now he can write songs. This is really unexpected.
However, they still took the lyrics and took a good look at them.
"Well, the lyrics are pretty good and have some flavor."
"Although my literary talent is not very good, my sincerity is better~"
After the two of them read it, they both nodded.
…
"Liu Feng, please sing this song a few more times and ask the first captain to memorize the music." The political commissar said again.
Xiang Nan nodded and sang the song twice more.
The first team leader quickly composed a simplified score for the song based on the melody he sang.
"Well, yes, this song is really nice." The first captain smiled while recording, "Liu Feng, you have grown up. When did you learn to score songs?"
"Captain 1, you're making fun of me. I don't know how to compose music." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I changed the folk tunes from our place."
"Okay, very good, smart!" the first captain smiled, "Folk songs are the precious wealth of our nation, a treasure house of creation, and a source of inspiration. Liu Feng, you can think of drawing nutrients from folk songs to create, it is really good ."
In this era, many songs were based on folk songs.
For example, "The East is Red" is based on Xintianyou in northern Shaanxi, "Liuyang River" is based on Flower Drum Opera, "People say the scenery is beautiful at sunset" is based on local Yangge, and "Embroidered Gold Plaque" is based on Qingyang folk songs. …
Therefore, Xiang Nan pretended that "The Sun is Reddest, the Chairman is Dearest" was adapted from a folk song. This reason is still easy to accept.
"Okay, our group actually has a talented person." The second captain also said happily.
Over the years, I have been singing other people’s songs and dancing other people’s dances. Now I finally have my own work.
"Political Commissar, leave this song to me. I will perform it well, and then the whole army will give a grand performance and earn a lot of praise for our regiment." He smiled again.
"Don't be anxious. There is something more important that I have to leave to you." The political commissar waved his hand and called on the commander to call on the entire army to learn from Lei Feng. He was going to put on a play to respond to the commander's plan and talk about it. Read it again.
…
After hearing the political commissar's plan, the first and second captains were a little stunned.
"Political Commissar, is the movement too big? Can we do it in a drama?" the first captain frowned.
It's not that he underestimates himself, but there are no creative backbones in the group.
To arrange a play, you must first have a script. However, most of the members of the art troupe have a middle school or high school education, and their studies may not be solid. With such an academic qualification, wanting to write scripts is just a pipe dream.
"Yes, the one with the highest education in the group is a high school graduate. How can we arrange a play if we can't even write a script?" the second captain also said worriedly.
"Look at you, you shrink your head when encountering difficulties, what do you look like!" The political commissar criticized unceremoniously, "Why don't you look at Liu Feng? He wrote such a good song before he even graduated from elementary school. You have much higher academic qualifications than him, why can't you overcome the difficulties?"
Hearing what he said, the first captain and the second captain couldn't say anything else.
Indeed, Liu Feng has not even graduated from elementary school. Apart from being able to be a carpenter, a bricklayer, and somersaults, his other skills are sparse. But even so, why should they complain if they write such a good song?
Xiang Nan couldn't help but frown when the political commissar used himself as an example. He didn't want to offend the first and second captains.
"Political Commissar, I voluntarily apply to join the creative team!" He said quickly, "Firstly, I have heard the deeds of those heroes and models with my own ears, and their words are still firmly in my heart; secondly, I also hope to shine for the cultural troupe, Give yourself a try.”
"Okay, very good, look at how much fighting spirit Liu Feng has!" the political commissar said with satisfaction.
When both the first and second captains complained, Liu Feng rose to the challenge and took the initiative to volunteer. He was very satisfied with this.
Seeing that he was willing to join, the first and second captains nodded in approval.
Arranging a play is not an easy task. Liu Feng was able to take the initiative and did not avoid difficulties. This kind of courage to take responsibility and take the initiative to share worries made them appreciate it very much.
Furthermore, Liu Feng composed the song "The Sun is Reddest, the Chairman is Dearest", which shows that he still has certain creative skills. It would be nice to have him on board.
Immediately, after discussions between the political commissar, the first captain, and the second captain, a temporary drama creation group was established.
The team leader is the political commissar, and the two deputy team leaders are the first team leader and the second team leader respectively. The specific team members are Xiang Nan, Xiao Suizi, Zhu Ke, Chen Can, and Hao Shuwen.
Apart from Xiang Nan, Xiao Suizi, Chen Can and others are the few people in the art troupe who have received a high school education. Most of the other members have graduated from junior high school or elementary school. You may not even be able to read the script, so don’t bother with that.
…
After the matter was discussed, Xiang Nan left the political commissar's office.
On the way back to the dormitory, I happened to see He Xiaoping holding military uniforms in both hands and walking out happily.
"Xiao Ping~" Xiang Nan saw this and walked over quickly.
"Comrade Liu~" Xiaoping ran over happily when she saw him.
"Slow down, don't fall." Xiang Nan said with a smile. It rained heavily yesterday and there is still water on the ground.
"Are you going to take pictures?" he asked again.
"Yeah." Xiaoping nodded. Her mother said that after letting her join the army, she would take a picture and send it back as soon as possible.
"Did Suizi lend you these clothes?" Xiang Nan asked again.
"Yeah." Xiaoping nodded again.
Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Let's go, I'll go with you." He smiled again.
