Chapter 249: The Storm Has Passed
According to Han Shan, the commander-in-chief had just inspected the Naval Academy. And because I knew him, I asked him to accompany him throughout the whole process.
At lunchtime, Han Shan remembered the favor of the Yang family, and saw that General Xiao was very kind to him. At first glance, he had the courage to mention the matter of "Night in the Military Port" during the banquet, wanting to help the Yang family explore the style.
Unexpectedly, General Xiao said that he had no idea. I even heard that the song was written by my old partner Yang Yaohua's youngest son, and I was quite interested, and immediately asked to listen to it.
After hearing this, General Xiao said that he liked it very much on the spot, and praised Yang Weifan for his talent. He said, "It's not a loss to our navy's own children!" Being able to sing about navy life so beautifully will arouse many people's yearning for the navy and their enthusiasm for joining the navy. Very good!"
This reaction was diametrically opposed to the rumors, Han Shan felt that something was wrong, so he made a brief report to General Xiao about the situation in the capital.
As a result, the commander-in-chief frowned while listening, and after listening to it, he said, "Someone wants to make trouble." ”
In this way, when he left that day, he asked Han Shan to explain the misunderstanding to Yang Yaohua, saying that he would definitely investigate this matter and would never wronged the child, please rest assured.
Listening to Han Shan's words, Yang Yaohua and Moody's were all relieved in addition to the surprise, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings.
One is that they are very grateful to Han Shan, and feel that the relationship between each other for so many years is not fake, this person knows how to repay the kindness, and it really plays a role in saving the crisis at a critical time. It's really gratifying and touching.
Another point is that Yang Yaohua himself is completely convinced by his old superiors.
He thought that people would be full of mustard for those things back then, how could he fix himself when he had the opportunity. Even if this matter has nothing to do with it, it is good if it doesn't fall into the ground, and most of them will be happy to see their own jokes. But where would you have thought of it...... Looking at it now, it's really his own little family.
For this reason, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, "This is the real style of a general." No wonder I can't surpass him all my life, and I'm always just a lieutenant general!"
General Xiao is definitely a man of his word. Within three days, he fulfilled his promise and publicly gave full affirmation and praise to "The Night of the Military Port".
At a high-level meeting of the Navy, Admiral Xiao took the initiative to bring up the matter.
"I have listened to the song of "Night of the Military Port", which reflects the life of the army, with seafood and feelings, which is very good. People who lack knowledge of the Navy cannot write such excellent songs. Some people say that the song is soft, I don't think so. There is so much that the sea can contain. Our navy does not have only the virtue of masculinity. ”
Then, at this meeting, he gave instructions on the cultural work of the troops.
"Now is the era of reform, all walks of life are reforming, and cultural work is no exception. Due to the long-term influence of the 'left', it is normal for people to have different views on things and have a bit of discussion. The army art troupe serves the troops and serves the soldiers. I think as long as the soldiers like it, the troops like it, and the broad masses like it, they can boldly perform and sing it!"
But this is not the end, and the next day, General Xiao made another speech on this issue at a meeting of organ cadres.
He not only criticized some radical remarks without naming them, but also emphatically pointed out: "The navy is a special branch of the armed forces, and warships must go to sea and planes must go to the sky." Moreover, we are guarding the front line of the country, and there are frequent combat missions along the coast, so we cannot do it without systematic professional and technical training. In order to ensure this, it is very important to unite internally and stabilize the morale of the military. Therefore, we must be cautious in dealing with our own internal problems in the future, especially not to listen to the wind or rain, and follow the baton from the outside. Comrades, there are always some people with ulterior motives who hope that we will be chaotic and that we will fight among ourselves. Don't give them a chance......"
As a result, the results were immediate, and the tone of the Navy's political and industrial departments immediately changed.
Not only did he retract all the handling opinions issued to the "Haiphong Song and Dance Troupe" some time ago, but also especially appeased Moody's. A commendation award was issued, saying that the song and dance troupe has made remarkable achievements in seeking innovation and change under her leadership. Moody's is still the head of the "Haizheng Song and Dance Troupe" who has a backer and prestige.
Some of those hiding in the shadows were terrified.
They never dreamed that General Xiao, who had a big grudge against Yang Yaohua, would take the initiative to stand up and refute the rumors. In the most open, direct and powerful way, he expressed his support for the Yang family.
The deputy commander-in-chief was really not wrong in daring to say that he was back then! This navy is a monolith! Even if it is like a hot kiln inside, it will be unanimous with the outside world!
At this point, their entire plan was scrapped. After weighing the new situation, it is not only necessary to silence the flag. You have to cover up the traces quickly, so as not to find clues.
So the situation was brought under control so easily. It's as if those opposing opinions never appeared. The literary and artistic circles of the entire army are again in harmony and a good situation of stability and unity.
However, although in the end, General Xiao relied on his righteous words to completely quell the rumors and block those who wanted to continue to express their opposition.
But to be honest, the danger and filthiness hidden in this period really made Yang Yaohua and Moody afraid for a long time.
So for this reason, when Xiao Da came to Beijing for a meeting, Yang Yaohua and Moody specially brought Yang Weifan to visit the meeting and express their gratitude for this friendship.
Naturally, Yang Yaohua is no longer arrogant in the past. And this pair of old comrades-in-arms, old friends, and old partners through this meeting, one is grateful, the other is magnanimous, and all those old grievances have disappeared.
Even this handshake and happy story reached the ears of the "great man", so Yang Weifan's song was heard by chance because of this incident, and it also won the praise of the "helmsman" of the republic.
“…… These songs are very good, Yaohua's youngest son is very good, they all say that Jiangmen Huzi, I didn't expect to be able to cultivate literary and artistic talents. Well, there's really no need to stuff our next generation into combat units. I think that's good, it's the same as our literary policy. A hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, all of them have one style and one model, how can the literary and artistic stage prosper?......"
As the saying goes, "gongs and drums listen to the sound, and speech listens to the sound". After these words came out, Yang Yaohua took the initiative to adjust the positions of the eldest son and the third son after thinking about it.
He not only arranged for his eldest son Yang Weiguo to apply for reinstatement, but also transferred him from the Air Force to local politics. also let the third son, Yang Weijian, be transferred to the "Naval Ship Academy" to engage in teaching.
Not to mention, the move quickly received a good response.
Not long after, Yang Yaohua and General Xiao were invited to "Zhongnanhai" to be guests, and the old superiors were very happy to catch up with them and entertain them for a meal.
During the banquet, the "great man" not only cared about Yang Yaohua's body, but also praised Yang Weifan by name again, and said that the children of the Yang family are very good, and look forward to their excellent achievements in various fields in the future.
Then came a flurry of surprises.
First of all, Yang Weifan got the opportunity to perform at the "National Day Reception" for the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Secondly, Yang Weiguo's change of career was originally under the guise of "no matter what the general, it will be the same if he leaves." No matter what school, the change of career is invalid".
Unexpectedly, he didn't comply with the rules of "downgrading two-level placement" at all, nor did he make a cold bench. Instead, he went directly to the local government and became the deputy mayor with real power.
As for Yang Weijiang, although he can no longer personally board the ship to command the troops, his military rank has been upgraded by one level.
So I have to say that this matter is indeed done right again, and the prospects of the Yang family have completely improved as a result.
And for Yang Weifan, he is both unfortunate and lucky.
If it weren't for his special family background, he would never have become the focus of this turmoil.
And the risks behind this incident are actually far greater than the ups and downs encountered by the original songwriter of "Night at the Military Port" in history, and the consequences are more serious.
Fortunately, there was a good ending in the end. Not only did the commander-in-chief of the Navy voice his support, but he also won the attention of the first person in the republic. This has allowed him to reap countless benefits.
First of all, he didn't have any big hats on his head. In the future, if you are given a holy decree for songwriting and stage performances, you will not have to be tied down, but you can do it freely.
Secondly, his fame was further enhanced, not only establishing his position as a leading figure in popular songs. It has also become a benchmark figure who opened the history of pop music development in China.
Moreover, the turmoil he experienced was tantamount to endorsing popular songs and striving for a certain degree of "political" recognition. This makes the performers of popular songs much less criticized, criticized and restricted in the future.
This kind of far-reaching significance, let alone Yang Weifan. Even Hong Yanwu, the real initiator of all this, probably didn't expect it at all.
He and Yang Weifan have inadvertently changed the history of the development of popular songs in China, and have greatly improved the ecological environment of pop music in China.
In the summer of 1979, in fact, most people didn't know the inside story of the "war" triggered by "The Night of the Military Port", but they did regard Yang Weifan as an idol in their hearts. Especially young people who are also engaged in theatrical performances and pursue artistic achievements.
In mid-July, a twenty-seven-year-old young man was brought into the "National Film Orchestra" by the director of the "Beijing Film Chief".
Then the factory director found her old friend Xie Lisi and asked her to help show the young man. Is it possible to become a singer or actress?
Xie Lisi was very curious, so she asked the young man, why didn't he do good actors, but came to sing in the "National Film Orchestra"?
The young man said that his "thick eyebrows and small eyes" were contrary to the mainstream aesthetics, and his acting did not develop much. But singing popular songs in his voice, I think it's okay. He also said that he likes Yang Weifan's songs very much, and especially hopes to become a popular singer like Yang Weifan.
As a result, the young man moved Xie Lisi with a song "Little Poplar" that he had practiced for a long time. She was delighted and said, "You have a good voice. So he took him as his student.
This young man's name is Wang Jieshi.
Also in mid-July, the "Haiphong Song and Dance Troupe" recruited a girl who had won the first prize in the "Henan Children's Art Show" to join the group as an erhu soloist.
When this 12-year-old girl with a cute baby face came to report on the "Haiphong Song and Dance Troupe", she had only one concern.
"In the future, when the whole troupe is rehearsing, can I see Yang Weifan? Can I see Su Xiaoming?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, she was so happy that she almost jumped up with her erhu in her arms.
The girl's name is Cheng Lin.
