Chapter 206: Rehearsal
General Political Song and Dance Troupe.
At nine o'clock in the morning, when Zheng Qian came here to report slowly with a briefcase, he had already found that the sound of a chorus was faintly heard in the courtyard.
"The red flag fluttered, and the military trumpet sounded
The sword was unsheathed, and thunder and lightning flashed
It has always been a narrow road where the brave wins
Forward, forward......"
Listen carefully, isn't it "The Soul of the Chinese Army"?
Good guy, Zheng Qian's blood boiled instantly, even Zheng Qian, it was the first time that this kind of majestic chorus version was made, the drums and pianos were intertwined, bursting out the most moving sparks, and there seemed to be a division and brigade slowly walking towards Zheng Qian in front of him.
He hurriedly showed his ID to the staff, and then walked quickly towards the courtyard, following the sound, to a rehearsal hall on the second floor of the East District, the sound is getting closer and closer, even if these walls have been soundproofed, it is difficult to hide the enthusiasm of this chorus.
Through the glass window, it was found that nearly 100 chorus members and orchestras in the rehearsal hall were facing the music conductor in unison, performing the song "The Spirit of the Chinese Army".
Zheng Qian also found that Zhang Zhixin, deputy director of the creation room, was also in the hall, and there were several people who looked like leaders standing next to him, as if they were reviewing and inspecting.
When Zheng Qian appeared by the window, the obvious movement attracted the attention of Zhang Zhixin and others.
Zhang Zhixin subconsciously turned his head, that is, when he saw Zheng Qian, he immediately showed a smile on his face, asked the leader next to him for instructions, then turned around and beckoned to Zheng Qian, and then ran to the door to welcome Zheng Qian in.
Zheng Qian smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello Director Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"You kid, haha, I can count on you, go, come in quickly. ”
Zhang Zhixin shook Zheng Qian's hand vigorously, and then warmly invited Zheng Qian into the hall.
At this time, the rehearsal was still continuing, the live chorus and performance were very loud, and the leaders of the inspection just smiled and nodded to Zheng Qian.
Zhang Zhixin motioned for Zheng Qian to wait a little.
Zheng Qian didn't care, but continued to enjoy the performance of the choir and the orchestra, a song "Chinese Army Soul" really sang the momentum of the Chinese soldiers, the kind of roar that looks at death as home, the determination that the strong man will never return, even if Zheng Qian is the creator of this song, he is still deeply moved by this momentum.
Not to mention the leaders who came to inspect, the first time they listened, their faces were moved.
In just a few lines of lyrics, I have heard the tears of individual leaders, and the kind of touching that hits the bottom of my heart is still unforgettable even if I have been away from the barracks for decades.
Finally, when the rehearsal of a song "The Soul of the Chinese Army" ended, the leaders applauded one by one.
Subsequently, under the signal of the leaders, Zhang Zhixin stepped forward and saluted the performers at the scene, and then turned sideways to give up Zheng Qian's position, and introduced: "Comrades, this is Zheng Qian, the creator of "The Soul of the Chinese Army", and also the outstanding young backbone of our creative studio, I believe everyone is already familiar with Zheng Qian's name, so I don't need to introduce it too much!"
Obviously, many people in the rehearsal hall are surprised by Zheng Qian's arrival, Zheng Qian has frequently appeared in major news reports recently, the finals of "Chinese Idol" have just ended, and the name Zheng Qian can be said to be thunderous.
So when Zheng Qian's identity was revealed at this time, there was a burst of warm cheers and applause at the scene.
"It seems that Comrade Xiao Zheng is very popular now!"
One of the leaders said with a smile, and stretched out his hand to shake Zheng Qian: "I have always wanted to meet you, Director Wang recruited you is really a wise move, and it is no wonder that the head of the empty government Yungang easily did not let go, if it was me, I would not let go, fortunately, with your participation on the side of the General Political Department, it can be regarded as a tiger with wings, I hope that Comrade Xiao Zheng can continue to give full play to his strengths in the future and dedicate better literary and artistic works to the party and the country." ”
Zheng Qian heard the other party mention Wang Chuanjun, the director of the creation room, and Yun Gang, the head of the Kongzheng Art Troupe, and saw the other party praise himself so much, and for a while, he was also a little flattered in doubt.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhixin next to him immediately introduced: "Zheng Qian, this is Shen Mingyi, deputy head of our General Political Song and Dance Troupe, who is responsible for leading the National Day theatrical performance this time. ”
Then, he introduced several other leaders: "Li Ze, the head of the China Symphony Orchestra, and Wang Run, the head of the China Radio Choir, ......"
Zheng Qian hurriedly shook hands with several leaders.
"Our regiment commander comrade has a task in his body, he is currently leading a tour overseas, and he will rush back before the National Day, although she is overseas, but she is often worried about the domestic situation, at present, everything in the regiment is under my command. ”
Deputy head Shen Mingyi said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Zheng, you are a special talent, and special talents must be treated specially, so if you have any needs, you can directly interview me without a written report, and I will ask Zhang Zhixin to give you my contact information." ”
Zheng Qian said happily: "Thank you for the cultivation of the head of the regiment!"
Seeing this, Li Ze and Wang Run also hurriedly exchanged contact information with Zheng Qian.
To be honest, creative talents are very scarce in major art troupes, although the music world is prosperous, but there are not many who can write and are willing to write red songs.
Especially Zheng Qian's top-notch, it is even rarer, everyone sees Zheng Qian, and they all feel that they have seen a genius of the world, as a baby pimple, and they feel loved and cherished.
Under this burning gaze, Zheng Qian also instantly felt that the burden on his shoulders had increased a little.
Immediately afterwards, in front of Zheng Qian, the members of the choir and the performance troupe rehearsed "The Soul of the Chinese Army" again, wanting the original author Zheng Qian to give guidance on the spot.
Zheng Qian had nothing to say, the live performance was even stronger and more perfect than the version in his mind, and after the performance, Zheng Qian was amazed and applauded constantly.
After being affirmed by Zheng Qian, the self-confidence of the players increased by another point.
Subsequently, Zhang Zhixin took Zheng Qian to the creation studio to report.
Wang Chuanjun was very happy to see Zheng Qian, picked up the phone and notified Lou Ze, the tutor of the master's degree in military arts, and soon after, Lou Ze appeared outside the creation room, as soon as he saw Zheng Qian, he excitedly stepped forward, grabbed Zheng Qian's hand and shook it violently: "Zheng Qian, I can be regarded as seeing you, not bad, not bad, what a hero out of a teenager!"
Lou Ze was really excited, like a fan chasing stars, looking Zheng Qian up and down, nodding in admiration again and again, and Wang Chuanjun sighed: "How did you say that Zheng Qian's little head grows? This talent is brilliant, and this creative ability is ......."
Zheng Qian couldn't listen to it anymore, brother, you have blown it a little too much.
Wang Chuanjun also felt that Lou Ze was extremely excited today, so he stopped his excessive praise and said with a smile: "This is the first time you two have met, and it is appropriate to have a good talk, but Zheng Qian is very busy now, and time is very tight, so let's get down to business first." ”
Lou Ze came to his senses and nodded: "Director Wang is right, rehearsal first, my side, I have already prepared the students, "My Motherland" has been rehearsed many times, very skilled, but Zheng Qian has not seen it, you can go to the rehearsal hall to point out later, by the way, Zheng Qian, is your work ready?"
"That's it!"
Zheng Qian nodded and took out the manuscript he had prepared from his briefcase.
Because he is too busy, although the lyrics and music of the song "I Love You China" have been arranged, it has not been officially recorded.
Seeing this, several people hurriedly dragged Zheng Qian to the recording studio, and the recording engineer had just gone to work and had a task, and they became nervous all of a sudden.
Next, with the help of Lou Ze and others, and the score in hand, the arrangement and recording were completed quickly, and it took less than an hour.
During the recording, Lou Ze also checked the lyrics of "I Love You China", and was also touched by the artistic conception expressed in the song for a while.
He suddenly remembered what Zheng Qian said in the program "Chinese Idol": If you think that your motherland is not good, you will build it; if you think the government is not good, you will take the civil service examination to become an official; if you feel that the people are not qualified, start from you to be a high-quality citizen; if you feel that your compatriots are ignorant, start with you to learn to change the people around you, instead of blindly insulting, complaining, and fleeing......
For a while, Lou Ze was also moved by Zheng Qian's patriotism.
When he looked at Zheng Qian, who was preparing to record, his eyes also became very soft.
After the recording, Zheng Qian also hurriedly took the finished song and began to go to the rehearsal hall.
In the rehearsal hall, the members of the chorus team belonging to the military art have also been put in place, and they are all music students of the military arts.
The performer is the People's Liberation Army Symphony Orchestra, which belongs to the General Political Opera Troupe, which is the leading large-scale symphony orchestra in China and one of the outstanding professional symphony orchestras in China.
Because of Zheng Qian's performance in "Chinese Idol", the influence and dissemination of the song "My Motherland" is very amazing.
The conductor invited Deng Qun, president of the Beijing Music Association and conductor.
It can be said that the song "My Motherland" has all the top configurations.
When Zheng Qian came to the rehearsal hall, he had already seen the symphony orchestra players and the students of military arts were enthusiastically exchanging and discussing, and the conductor Deng Qun also greeted him with a smile when he saw Zheng Qian and others coming.
This time, the first and second leaders of the creation studio were also present, and Lou Ze also had high hopes for his students, so after a little greeting and introduction, under an order, the rehearsal began.
In front of the original author, everyone was actually a little apprehensive about performing "My Motherland", but the experience accumulated from daily rehearsals also made the students extremely focused, sang together, mastered the rhythm very steadily, and played a professional level.
And the musicians don't have to worry, the melody of "My Motherland" is not as difficult as expected, so it is easy to play.
When the conductor Deng Qun waved the baton, he was particularly intoxicated, and the rich operation of his expression and body made Zheng Qian think of the pianist Lang Lang in his previous life.
That's probably art!
With the efforts of everyone, "My Motherland" resounded throughout the rehearsal hall, like a grand feast.
“......
This is the Motherland of the Strong
It's where I grew up......
In this warm land
There was peace everywhere in the sun......"
When the song ended, Zheng Qian was moved by this performance, his nose was slightly sour, and he couldn't help but applaud.
The shock brought by live performances is always more real and powerful than the screen, even Zheng Qian did not expect that a song that he has listened to countless times can convey such a moving music under the performance of the choir and the orchestra.
Lou Ze saw Zheng Qian's reaction, and he was also very satisfied in his heart.
Even the original author was so moved, and his imagination of moving the whole country on the night of the National Day seems to be realized.
"Okay, next, let Comrade Zheng Qian rehearse his new work, this song is called "I Love You China"!"
Lou Ze said loudly, asked people to bring the microphone, handed it to Zheng Qian, and then smiled at everyone again and said: "You guys are blessed, the arrangement of this song was actually completed under my nose just now, and you are the first batch of listeners!"
When everyone heard this, their faces were full of surprise and spontaneously applauded.
Conductor Deng Qun said with a smile: "I'm a fan of Xiao Zheng, in fact, I've always wanted to go to "Chinese Idol" to support Xiao Zheng, but I can't get tickets, now it's okay, meet my wishes." ”
The crowd laughed.
At this time, the music sounded.
The prelude was very short, and before everyone could react, Zheng Qian's singing voice had already sounded.
"Whenever I feel pain, I want you to hold me tight
Just like you have always done, touch my soul
Whenever I am confused, you give me a kind of warmth
It's like someone's arm, wrapped around my shoulders......"
A deep murmur that instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Isn't Zheng Qian good at high notes?"
"It's not good for the outside world to accept his bass, it's not good!"
"Yes, it's not a subwoofer, but it feels powerful. ”
......
As the singing progressed, everyone stopped talking, and at that moment, it seemed that a beam of light shone on Zheng Qian's body.
It is great, bright, honorable, and respectable.
Lou Ze held his breath, feeling a warm heat slowly brewing in his heart.
Wang Chuanjun sat in the corner, listening carefully, tapping his knees with his fingers from time to time, immersed in it.
Zhang Zhixin smiled.
This Zheng Qian has never disappointed!
As the deputy head of the troupe said, Zheng Qian is the precious wealth of our art troupe, and in any case, as long as it does not involve errors of principle, we must ensure the legitimate rights and interests of Zheng Qian as a creator.
If anyone from the outside world makes any accusations and slanders against Zheng Qian, once they exceed the bottom line, they will slander and trample on the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, and they must be firmly cracked down and punished, and similar rumors must be put an end to.
Everything should be prevented before it happens.
"I love you China, beloved mother
I shed tears for you, and I am proud of you
I love you China, dear mother
I'm crying for you, and I'm proud of you......"
