Chapter 143: The Black and Gold Band
Martin wandered around with nothing to do, originally he wanted to go to Dongsheng Mansion for a turn, but after thinking about it, everyone had just been separated for a long time, and Wang Nan had only met Fei Ge the day before yesterday, so forget it this time.
The specific date of the show was set on the evening of the third day, and the propaganda team of the second factory belonged to a late group, and the time was relatively tight, and they came to the auditorium early the next morning to familiarize themselves with the venue.
The dance project must be out of play, almost all factories have this variety, and they can only pin their hopes on the band, so the employees of the dance team came to the band practice point after practicing twice.
The employees who can be selected for the propaganda team are all handsome guys and beauties who are carefully selected, basically single, and most of them are female workers.
After a few days of getting along, everyone is familiar with each other, and the female workers will find a little boy like Hulu Chen Peng to have fun if they have nothing to do, especially after Wang Nan returned the day before yesterday, they even aimed at him, they all like to tease this little handsome guy, and like to see him blush.
Martin is not doing business, and the female workers also know the origin of this kid after a little inquiry, he is young and full of news, but he looks like Chen Shimei, who is not attentive, so everyone doesn't pay much attention to him.
The rest of the band went out of his way to explain that the songs were written by Martin, and that didn't change the impression that everyone had of him.
Ma Dong didn't expect these people to pay more attention to himself, so he just ended up clean if he ignored them, so he was very unfamiliar with the employees of the propaganda team.
"This young man is an actor from that factory?" Martin was strolling around, and a middle-aged man came by next to him, as if asking for directions and interrogating the details.
"Hello, I am a supernumerary member of the propaganda team of the second factory. ”
"Oh, hehe, why is there a supernumerary?"
"Well, let's do logistics and other work, which is equivalent to an unsung hero working behind the scenes. ”
The man listened interestingly: "You don't think low of yourself, young people better be modest." ”
Martin replied very seriously: "I'm already very modest, uncle, people like me are really rare now." ”
"Aha, it's interesting, which unit do you work in the second factory?"
"I'm ...... in Guangming No. 7 Middle School," Martin wanted to say about the school, and then thought that he had been expelled: "Alas...... I'm just an ordinary worker in the oil production team. ”
"There are at least tens of thousands of oil extractors in the second plant, and you should have some real skills to stand out and be selected. The man nodded and asked, "What kind of talent do the guys have?"
The tone was very similar to that of a comedy star in a previous life, and Martin was amused when he heard it: "You've asked me so much, it's time to answer me a question." ”
"You don't know me?"
"Are you famous?"
"Forehead ......"
As he spoke, someone trotted in front of him from a distance: "Hello Secretary Zhang, you are here to inspect the preparations for the performance, let me take you around." ”
"I'm just coming over to take a look, tomorrow the propaganda minister of the ministry will attend our party, you must come up with a distinctive and high-quality party to show the style of our bright oil field." ”
"Surely, we're going to have the first rehearsal in a moment, or you'll have a look at it first. ”
"It's okay, is the program list ready, show it to me later, you go first, we'll talk later, and tell everyone else that you don't need to come over, and we'll talk about it after watching the show." ”
The man could only reluctantly turn around and go about his own business, and Martin knew that the person in front of him was at least a bureau leader.
"Hello Secretary Zhang, you are busy first, I won't bother. ”
"What's the hurry, walk around with me. The man took Martin and began to inspect the various rehearsal venues, and some acquaintances came to say hello halfway, and Secretary Zhang sent them away with a few simple words, and did not disturb everyone's rehearsal.
Martin followed behind and didn't speak, thinking of a song "The King Sent Me to Patrol the Mountains", and also remembered an idiom "Fox Fake Tiger Wei", and finally transferred to the place of the second factory, and everyone happened to be on the band's side.
At this time, it was "Father", this song was sung by a men's group in the previous life, and it became a women's trio in Martin's hands, which was the result of discussions with Wang Nan, and he specially asked He Tianfan to add three harmonies, and the effect was very touching.
The secretary found a remote corner to sit down and listen, and soon became fascinated, closed his eyes and nodded lightly to the beat to taste the lyrics, the head of the propaganda section was not in front of him, so no one else knew him, Martin knew the staff and was too lazy to take care of it, and the students were signaled by Martin to continue.
At the end of the song, the secretary took the lead in applauding: "Okay! Good singing, is this a song that you have written?"
Martin replied with a blushing face and a heartbeat next to him: "Absolutely original." ”
"Which unit are you from?" asked the propaganda team members on the other side.
Although he didn't know him, this man himself had a leadership temperament, so the workers told him about the propaganda team of the second factory here.
"This is your factory, why don't you tell me. ”
"You didn't ask, I thought I'd just go in a circle. ”
The secretary heard the grievance in Martin's tone, smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tell me about your teammates." ”
Martin first introduced the situation of the band from his classmates, and when he arrived at the staff, he didn't know what the name was, so he could only mention it in one sentence: "These are all employees, and the program they perform is a dance, which is the kind of dance that shows the style of the old area of Hongcheng." ”
The secretary obviously watched too much of this dance, so he didn't ask any more questions, but talked about the band with great interest: "Are there any other songs?
Martin said that this time only three songs were performed, and the band has written more than a dozen songs on their own, and is recording records and tapes, which will be released in the market in the near future.
The secretary is an old oilman, and he has seen a lot of the world over the years, and this is the first time he has heard that an oil worker has written songs and released albums by himself.
When he heard the name of the band, the secretary was happy: "The kowtow machine band is still more appropriate, but only our own people can understand what this name means, literally it is not very elegant, the internal call is okay, and the future will be a little small for the society." ”
"I did think about this issue, and I also considered other names, but I couldn't settle on it. ”
"Well, think about it, I hope your band will be popular all over the country in the future. ”
"Thank you Secretary Jiyan, I will work hard. ”
In the next rehearsal, Secretary Zhang deliberately listened to the other two songs of the band, took the lead in giving warm applause, and then left after explaining two sentences to the relevant person in charge, and nodded to Martin before leaving.
The head of the propaganda section asked Martin how he knew Secretary Zhang, and Martin said that he had only known him for ten minutes and did not know how big the secretary was, and the section chief told him that this was the second-in-command in the bureau, a real bureau-level cadre.
Martin nodded and said that this secretary really has no shelf, at least he didn't take a bunch of people to do superficial things.
The employees next to him whispered that Martin was quite good at sycophants in addition to being emotionally inattentive, and everyone laughed when they said this without carrying the band on their backs.
Wang Nan also added a fire and said that you should all be careful, Martin is especially good at deceiving girls, especially girls in your twenties, and the classmates laughed even more when they heard it.
The female workers spit on Wang Nan and talked nonsense, how could they fall in love with Chen Shimei, this time the gourd spoke: "That's not necessarily, none of the girls who have been in contact with Martin don't like him." ”
Female Workers: Cut ......
Band Member: Cheche ......
After rehearsals, three of the band's songs were placed in third place.
The first is the opening dance, followed by a cross talk, which is placed in the third is the most golden position, because some leaders come late, and some leaders leave early, so they can take into account the atmosphere of the performance to the greatest extent, which fully explains the importance of the band.
Martin originally wanted to call He Tianfan and them to assist in the performance, but Wang Nan said that there was no need, and the current strength of everyone was more than enough to cope with such a performance.
On the night of the performance, the Guangming Headquarters Club was full, and all the bureau leaders of Zaijia accompanied the leaders of the headquarters even when they appeared at the performance site.
After a night of negotiations, the band that changed its name sparked warm applause from the audience when it appeared, just by virtue of its equipment.
On this morning, the "Kowtow Machine Band" officially changed its name to "Black Gold Band", which was the result of a unanimous discussion, black gold refers to oil, which is both close to reality and atmospheric.
The three songs are about fifteen minutes long, which is a very proportional time ratio in a large-scale performance, and the people who listened to the songs were as deeply moved as everyone who listened to them.
There was silence when listening, and then there was a pause for a few seconds to reminisce, followed by thunderous applause, and when it was over, the leaders from the ministry stood up and applauded first, as if the whole party had ended.
This was the first performance of the band's large-scale performance, and the members were as excited as the audience at the curtain call, until the curtain was all pulled up and the backstage staff began to clear the stage, and everyone returned to the backstage unsatisfied.
Martin applauded heartily: "My friends, please calm your turbulent hearts, we will get a lot of applause in the future, everyone must first learn to be calm." ”
A group of people didn't give face to the chairman this time, they are still teenagers, how can their hearts be easily calmed down when they get so much recognition.
After packing up their things, Martin took everyone to the largest night market in the fish market to celebrate, and a group of people ate and drank like crazy until they returned to the guest house.
The head of the propaganda section had already waited for his heart to be anxious, and he had counted the number of people first, and only complained that he came back too late after he had enough.
The section chief excitedly told everyone that the band's program was selected to be sent to the ministry, and it was the only program in the Guangming Oilfield, which was also made by the deputy minister of the headquarters himself.
