Chapter 30: I'll Be in the Limelight (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
At half past eight, there was an intermission, and the energetic Secretary Gu also had to take a break and drink saliva.
Everyone is a little unbearable, the day is physical training, and the night is mental torture, it turns out that this is the real horror of Huagong military training.
Everyone lay on the table to soothe the wounded souls, singing dozens of times, and their heads were buzzing.
"Sing hard, study hard, and digest what you just said. Today I will brush up the basic singing methods, and tomorrow we will continue to deepen and deduct the details! We must sing well in this competition and strive to win a good ranking!"
I'm going to sing it tomorrow, and it looks like I can't hide it, and everyone is sighing.
After resting for fifteen minutes, Secretary Gu put away his thermos cup, cleared his throat, and said: "Let's sing for another hour, sing this emotion more fully, and express the feelings of loving the motherland." ”
Everyone's faces are weak, and they can't express their emotions.
Just as he was about to start singing, Xu Anyang raised his hand.
"What's wrong with this classmate?"
"Secretary Gu, I think there is a problem with the songs selected for this chorus competition. If we sing this song, even if we don't train during the day and practice all the time, we won't be able to win the championship in the final competition. Xu Anyang got up and said.
Secretary Gu's face changed and he didn't speak.
Chen Yang, who was sitting in the front row, said sharply: "Xu Anyang, the song was chosen by the ancient secretary, don't talk nonsense, what do you know about singing?"
Xu Anyang didn't bother to pay attention to Chen Yang, because he knew that this song was not chosen by Secretary Gu at all.
Secretary Gu originally wanted to choose the song "On the Taihang Mountain", but was robbed by the School of Automation.
The rest of the songs were picked and chosen, and this decent "Singing the Motherland" was chosen.
Secretary Gu actually plays the drum in his heart, will this song be simpler.
But the preliminary work is ready, and it's a bit difficult to ride a tiger, so let's sing it like this.
As soon as Xu Anyang stood up like this, he said what Secretary Gu was thinking.
"Do you have any thoughts on this classmate, do you know how to sing?"
"You know, I participated in a choir competition in high school and won first place in the city. ”
"Really, what song were you singing?"
"The Yellow River Cantata. ”
As soon as Xu Anyang's "Yellow River Cantata" came out, Secretary Gu's eyes lit up.
"Yellow River Cantata" is a large-scale choral music suite composed by Xian Xinghai and Guang Weiran, which is majestic and impassioned, which inspired the vast number of soldiers and civilians during the Anti-Japanese War, and is a classic song in China, and the difficulty of chorus is quite high.
"Which part are you singing?"
"The first movement, the Yellow River boatman's song. ”
"It's a bit difficult, it's a quartet, and there are six voices locally. ”
"The original singing is indeed difficult, but it can be changed to a male and female duet, which is moderately difficult and has a certain degree of skill, I don't think other colleges can do it, right?"
Secretary Gu fell into thought, what this student said made sense.
If it is changed to a duet, with one voice for each man, and the charm of the duet is retained, the difficulty is greatly reduced, and it is indeed very operable.
Chen Yang wanted to say something on the side, but Secretary Gu pressed his hand directly towards him, "Don't speak, don't speak, you don't understand." ”
Chen Yang made a big red face now, and wanted to echo the leader's intentions, but he would be wrong and embarrassed.
Secretary Gu turned to Xu Anyang and said, "This classmate, you come out, let's discuss, and the others will rest first." ”
Xu Anyang got up and went outside the moot court to be questioned by Secretary Gu alone.
Xu Anyang did participate in the chorus competition and won the first place.
But not in high school, but after work, at the CDB's National Day Song Contest one year.
Xu Anyang, who was still the vice president at the time, invited a teacher from Nanyi to train the choir team of the branch, and chose this difficult chorus repertoire.
After some adaptation, he became a sensation in the song competition and won the first prize, and Xu Anyang's face was quite bright.
The reason why Xu Anyang is so interested is because there are top leaders of the provincial bank among the judges of the competition, and his hobby is singing.
Because of this first place, Xu Anyang showed his face in front of the leaders of the superior bank, which obviously helped him to become the president later.
Now Xu Anyang made this suggestion to Secretary Gu, not to show his face and be promoted, what kind of official can he be promoted as a student.
He just wants to be lazy.
"This classmate, do you think it's timely?"
"It's definitely in time, Secretary Gu, do you know someone who specializes in music, Nanyi, you can ask me to come over and guide it, it's very efficient." We were off work every day... No, after school, practice for two hours, and it will be done in more than a week. ”
"Hmm... It makes sense, I do know Nanyi's teacher... I'll ask him to come over tomorrow to help with pointers. ”
"That ancient secretary, I have a small request. ”
"You say. ”
"You can see my image and temperament, I'm from the flag class. Then I had a good, bright voice and a lot of air. Isn't there a reciter during the chorus, I wonder if I can be that reciter?"
Secretary Gu looked Xu Anyang up and down, nodded and said, "The image of the young man is indeed okay, and your suggestion is very good, then let you be the reciter!"
Each movement of the Yellow River Cantata is preceded by an opening poem, which is recited by a special person.
Xu Anyang wants to take over this job, chanting a poem before the singing starts, and there will be nothing else to do later.
It's as easy as you want.
And because it is a solo recitation, the opening lights are all aimed at him, and he must be the one who is in the limelight.
This is called spending the least effort and getting the most limelight.
This matter was given by Secretary Gu in this way.
In addition, Secretary Gu also chose a choral conductor, Liu Zixin, who also has a good image and temperament.
In the days that followed, the students of the Academy of Social Sciences began to train hard during the day and devote themselves to the fulfilling life of singing at night.
The difficulty of "Yellow River Cantata" is much higher than that of "Singing the Motherland", with two voices, male and female duets, and repeated melodies, simulating the thrilling scene of a boatman struggling to cross the river on the Yellow River and fighting with the stormy waves.
As the initiator of letting everyone sing difficult songs, Xu Anyang received preferential treatment from Secretary Gu and let him practice recitation alone in the instrumental music room.
It is said to practice recitation, but what is there to practice in this recitation?
The opening poem consists of seven sentences, fifty words, and a total of 15 seconds to read.
There is no need to practice at all, just let Xu Anyang have a good rest.
Who let Xu Anyang put forward such a good suggestion and make Secretary Gu motivated?
When everyone was being tortured by Nan Yilai's music teacher in the mock court, Xu Anyang was cross-legged with Erlang's legs and playing with a guitar in the vocal music classroom.
At this time, the door "Bang Bang" knocked twice, and "squeak" opened.
Xu Anyang turned his head and saw that a figure flashed in.
It's Liu Zixin.
