After two years, Xiang Nan returned to Tianfu Military Region again.
After returning, he immediately received a promotion and a new appointment.
Not only was he promoted from deputy troupe level to full troupe level, but his position was also promoted from deputy troupe leader to full troupe leader.
Later, Xiang Nan returned to the art troupe with a new appointment and was warmly welcomed by all the troupe members.
"Comrades, I'm back!" Xiang Nan shook hands with everyone one by one.
"Captain Liu, are you back~"
"Captain Liu, do you still remember me?"
"Captain Liu, we all miss you~"
After shaking hands, he realized that a large number of the original soldiers of the art troupe had left. For example, Qiu Peining, Tan Zao, Sun Yanyan, Wang Huaibo, Lu Yining, etc.
Most of the female soldiers are married.
All the female soldiers in the art troupe are good-looking. Moreover, after practicing dancing for many years, she has a slim figure and outstanding temperament, which makes her far more attractive than ordinary girls. In addition, he is good at singing and dancing and is considered versatile, so he is very popular in the marriage and love market.
Most of the male soldiers changed jobs and went to college. After the college entrance examination was re-opened in 1977, some people in the art troupe started clamoring to change careers. Many people have been let go in the past two years.
But a solid camp with flowing soldiers. The old people are gone, but there are also many new faces. Therefore, the cultural troupe still has a strength of more than 200 people, and it still looks very magnificent.
…
"Liu Feng, welcome back to the team, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The political commissar said sincerely.
He has not moved his position in the past two years. In fact, he is just looking after Liu Feng's house. If Liu Feng doesn't come back as the group leader, he, the political commissar, won't be able to leave.
After all, the chief needs someone who is familiar with the cultural troupe to lead the team. Otherwise, the art troupe will be in chaos.
"Thank you, political commissar. I have always kept my mission in mind and have been looking forward to coming back for a long time." Xiang Nan also said with a smile.
"Okay, just come back." The political commissar nodded, "Come, you settle in first. Then I will report to you."
Although the regiment leader and the political commissar are on the same level, they have different divisions of labor. The regiment leader is responsible for administrative management, and the political commissar is responsible for ideological and political affairs. Therefore, the daily work of the cultural troupe, such as rehearsals, performances, etc., is still the responsibility of the troupe leader.
"Political Commissar, whatever you want to say, I should talk to you." Xiang Nan quickly waved his hand.
For many years, the cultural troupe has not had a chief or deputy leader, so the political commissar has become the de facto leader. Although he has been appointed as the group leader and is nominally his equal, if he cannot figure out his position, he will definitely have a hard time in the future.
"Okay, you go and settle in first." The political commissar patted him on the shoulder.
…
Xiang Nan immediately followed the chief of staff and received his own dormitory and office, equipped with paperwork and orderlies.
After having a steward, he doesn't need to unpack the luggage, he has a steward to help. In addition, military uniforms, beddings, mosquito nets and other daily necessities are all collected by service members.
Xiang Nan basically had nothing to do, so he quickly returned to the political commissar's office.
"Political Commissar, I'm back." He said with a smile.
"Okay, let me first briefly introduce to you the changes in our art troupe in the past two years." The political commissar said with a smile, "In the past two years, 35 people in our art troupe have demobilized, but in the past two years, 40 new people have been recruited. , so there are still a lot of talents.
However, in the past two years, with the changes in the external environment, our art troupe has also been affected. People's hearts are wandering, work styles are corrupting, and the team is becoming more and more difficult to lead every year. "
Xiang Nan nodded.
Today's social atmosphere is indeed becoming more and more open.
Bell-bottomed pants, disco, toad mirrors, shawl hair and other new things are sweeping across the land of China with the force of a prairie fire. This was something that would have been unthinkable two years ago.
The members of the cultural troupe are mostly young men and women with restless hormones, and they are even more susceptible to these temptations.
In the film, at this time, Hao Shuwen received toad glasses and jeans from her mother; Chen Can obtained the tape of Teresa Teng from Treasure Island; Zhu Ke led others to play poker in the dormitory... These are all violations of the military camp code of conduct.
"Okay, that's all there is to talk about in the past two years." The political commissar nodded, "Now I will talk about the work arrangements of the lower industrial group this month.
The superior commander decided to disband the cavalry company under the military region. In order to relieve everyone's emotions, our art troupe must do a good job of appeasing them. "
Xiang Nan nodded after hearing this.
The cavalry is the most terrifying unit in the cold weapon era. One hundred thousand cavalry can defeat invincible enemies in the world. However, with the modernization and reform of the army, the role and status of the cavalry are getting lower and lower, and it has reached the point where it must be abolished.
But before that, the cavalry could be regarded as the pride of the army. It is precisely because of this that it is difficult to relieve the emotions of the soldiers. This requires the cultural troupe to go down and appease them.
Xiang Nan understood this.
It is not easy to accept that anyone who is used to being a arrogant person will suddenly fall into decline.
"Liu Feng, aren't you talented? Can you think of some shows?" the political commissar suggested again.
A good song can boost morale, inspire people, and relieve boredom. This is exactly the meaning of the existence of an art troupe.
During flood relief in 1976, Xiang Nan's song "For Whom" made many people cry, let alone how much morale it inspired.
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
After returning to the office, Xiang Nan was thinking about this matter. Soon he had an idea, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote two songs, "Start Over" and "Young Aspirations Don't Say Worries".
Suddenly, he was handed over to the captain of the song and dance team.
"Captain Liu, you are really a talented person!" the squad leader couldn't help but sigh.
The political commissar just told him yesterday that he wanted to express condolences to the cavalry company and hoped that he would produce some new works. In just one day, Xiang Nan came up with these two songs that fit the theme, which is really amazing.
"I really wanted to do something for the soldiers of the cavalry company, so I was inspired." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
The squad leader also smiled when he heard what he said.
They all want to do something, but they can't write a word.
…
Afterwards, the art troupe began to select and rehearse.
Xiang Nan also participated in the selection and guided the rehearsal and choreography.
He inherited Fang Yifan's acting skills, and to be honest, his strength in this area is far higher than that of the captain of the song and dance team.
An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.
The squad leader was also convinced by this.
During the rehearsal break, old comrades such as Hao Shuwen, Xiao Suizi, and Zhu Han came to chat with him.
"Captain Liu, I really envy you. You are the commander at such a young age, and we are all still big soldiers." Zhu Han said enviously.
"Captain Liu, I heard that Xiaoping is studying in military arts? That's great, I really envy her." Xiao Suizi also said.
"Captain Liu, the person you liked back then was He Xiaoping, right? Damn it, you kept it secret from us for so long." Hao Shuwen said coquettishly, stamping her feet.
In order to pursue Xiang Nan, she even risked her face, but she remained unmoved. Later she realized that she had already fallen in love with He Xiaoping.
"Yeah, I really didn't expect that you actually like Xiaoping~"
"How are we worse than her? Why don't you like us?"
Hao Shuwen took the lead, and the other female soldiers also said coquettishly.
Xiang Nan couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.
