Chapter Twenty-Four: If You Don't Sing, It's Okay
Overnight, the two decisions announced by Zheng Yi in the officers' canteen spread throughout the school, arousing strong interest and discussion among teachers and students, and the heads of several clubs were quickly dumbfounded, no one expected Zheng Yi to be so strong and bold, and he regretted that Zheng Yi had a radical approach to Zheng Yi who thought differently from ordinary people.

Few people could have thought that Zheng Yi's actions seem reckless and arrogant, but in fact they are quite subtle, in terms of basketball, not to mention how ordinary people adjust their emotions under the sensational effect, whether they can play normally and other issues, just the rule of losing a ball and losing an ocean can scare off most of the challengers.
At noon the next day, a bombshell news came out of nowhere:
Director Zhou highly praised the establishment of the military academy choir, believing that singing is also one of the weapons of battle, so he suggested on the spot that the school committee agreed to Zheng Yi to establish the "Whampoa Military Academy Soldier Choir", President Jiang felt that it was very novel, and thought that Zheng Yi was likely to bring everyone a surprise.
On top of all kinds of rumors, before the second class in the afternoon, most of the students were looking forward to getting out of class early, and the graduates of the first phase of the training team who were leading the team outside also hurriedly ended their training, and rushed to the school's basketball court in groups.
The teachers and students gathered around the court were overwhelmed, and Zheng Yi, who had always been punctual, walked out in countless pairs of eyes that were either enthusiastic, joyful, or ready to challenge.
What is surprising is that Zheng Yi is not wearing sportswear, he is still in a straight military uniform, neat in appearance, and still has a Colt M1911 pistol hanging on his waist that countless people want to snatch over, and he is still wearing black and shiny riding boots under his feet.
An even more shocking scene soon appeared: Zheng Yi calmly entered the court, politely returned the salute to the instructors and students who greeted him with a smile as he walked, walked around in the deafening laughter, expanded his chest and stretched his body, and saw that no one came up to challenge for a long time, so he picked out one of the five basketballs on the side and began to dribble, and when he reached the top of the free throw arc, he suddenly stopped suddenly, and under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, he jumped high and shot steadily.
The basketball drew a wonderful arc, flew to the basket, and "swooped" into the net.
Before the applause rang out, Zheng Yi had already gone to the basket to pick up the basketball, and when it was transported to a place of forty-five degrees, he turned around and jumped again, and the violently rotating basketball was like a cannonball, accurately piercing into the basket, which immediately attracted bursts of applause.
Zheng Yi didn't seem to be disturbed by the outside world, without any pause, still unhurriedly concocted the same method, and scored eight goals in the middle and long distances one after another, only then in the tide of applause held the ball to the center line and threw a stunned ultra-long-distance shot.
The basketball in the air flew to the basket under the gaze of countless nervous eyes, smashed on the back end of the basket with a "dang" sound and bounced high, fell back and smashed on the edge of the basket again, bounced twice and finally fell out of the basket, instantly causing a sigh of regret.
Zheng Yi, who was in the middle of the court, shook his head, clasped his fists and saluted like a showman, made a ring salute, and then walked away, as if he didn't hear bursts of enthusiastic applause and reservations.
After this incident, Zheng Yi's reputation was great, and the challengers who were originally unconvinced retreated, and the Golden Buddha Zhuang and Hu Zongnan, who witnessed Zheng Yi's performance throughout the whole process, were shocked and scolded, blaming the sinister and cunning Zheng Yi for hiding the mystery and never thinking about the honor of the collective.
After class the next afternoon, Zheng Yi appeared on the edge of the basketball court again, communicated with the enthusiastic students in a friendly manner, and after ten minutes, seeing that no one challenged, he smiled and walked away again.
After that, Zheng Yi came to the court at the same time for three consecutive days, and still no one challenged him, but at the enthusiastic request of the students, he happily took off his clothes, played half of the game to organize the defenders, and once again won bursts of applause with his skillful ball and exquisite passing.
From the sixth day onwards, Zheng Yi did not appear on the basketball court again, and the teachers and students who were full of anticipation regretted it, and turned to discuss the "Whampoa Military Academy Soldier Choir" mentioned by Zheng Yi, and asked each other who had seen them practice where they were singing? What songs did you practice? Not many people knew that Zheng Yi had already submitted an application to Director Zhou of the Political Department to establish the "Whampoa Military Academy Soldiers' Choir", and was immediately approved and encouraged by Director Zhou.
At this time, Zheng Yi seemed to be relaxed and methodical, but in fact, his heart was heavy, and he was under huge pressure, if it weren't for the fact that his twenty brothers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces had received secondary school education or above, although most of them did not know how to read music, they had strong comprehension, and they would be familiar with it as long as they hummed it twice.
With the deepening of understanding, Zheng Yi was very happy, Xie Xieyuan, who was the least expected by him, looked like a lewd uncle, but he had a good erhu, and another brother named He Bainian came from a scholarly family, not only handsome, but also played the pipa well, in addition, there were still three smart and clever brothers who could play the flute and the long flute, plus the great help of Zhou Junruo, a brother who was proficient in music and rhythm after returning from Japan, Zheng Yi's warrior choir finally stumbled and was established.
In the past few days, according to his dusty memories, he carefully wrote down the repertoire of the chairman of the trade union and the chief of the security department who accompanied the army to transfer from the army in his previous life, as well as the chorus singing competition he participated in almost once a year in middle school, college and after work, and quietly wrote down hundreds of song titles, and then repeatedly selected them and carefully considered them.
A month before the Spring Festival, Zheng Yi finally selected three songs of different styles, first written silently with staves, and then converted from Zhou Junruo to simple scores.
The first song is the sonorous and easy-to-learn "Unity is Strength", the second is the movie interlude "Yan Nanfei" with a simple tune and beautiful melody, and the third song took Zheng Yi two nights, and finally selected the theme song "Heroic Song" of the TV series "Water Margin" that is slightly more difficult to lead from more than 100 song titles.
Zhou Junruo was very excited when he received the scores of the three songs, and he especially liked the lyrical "Yan Nanfei", and kept asking where the people who created these three songs were sacred? Where do you live?
Zheng Yi only remembered that the songwriters of "Yan Nanfei" were Mr. Li Jun and Mr. Li Weicai, so he did not hesitate to fill in these two names, and the other two only remembered Liu Huan who sang "Song of a Good Man", so he hung all the songwriters on Liu Huan's head, and the lyricist of "Unity is Strength" simply wrote the word "anonymous".
After the song was chosen, Zheng Yi continued to encourage his brothers to use the two hours of noon and evening every day to teach 20 brothers to sing sentence by sentence.
Zhou Junruo, who loves music and is also a decent conductor, showed unprecedented enthusiasm, actively participated in rehearsals every day, patiently taught singing skills, and never shouted a word of tiredness, until the twenty brothers spent two weeks to get into shape, and the two brothers who had been taught repeatedly with incomplete pentatonic tones also found their place, and he was still full of enthusiasm.
Twenty-two-year-old Shen Jinfu graduated from Hangzhou Industrial School, worked as a hardware factory for three years as a cold worker, the brothers thought this guy was not good, but Zhou Junruo thought he had a good sense of rhythm, and tried his best to let him be responsible for playing the drums, after half a month of hard practice, this guy has been able to skillfully beat out five rhythms, and can understand Zhou Junruo's command gestures.
Twenty-year-old Fei Yaoguang graduated from Jinhua Middle School, worked as a jewelry store apprentice for two years, this guy is a typical incomplete tone, but he likes to sing, his yellow and hoarse voice often makes the brothers stand on end, unable to sleep, several times in the unbearable persuasion of the situation of anger, get up and hold him down and beat him, but the next day he can't help but wail.
Fei Yaoguang was worried that he would be eliminated and abandoned by the whole collective, so in a hurry, he quietly used waste steel pipes to process a group of nine percussion instruments, and then quietly called Zheng Yi and Zhou Junruo to the abandoned fort bunker in the back mountain, and shockingly knocked out the beautiful tune of "Yan Nanfei", which immediately moved the sentimental Zhou Junruo to tears, Zheng Yi shook his head again and again with emotion, and finally patted his thin shoulder: "Okay, I have seen in you what it means for a man to be self-reliant, and I recommend you to be promoted to warrant officer next year." ”
Fei Yaoguang knelt down after listening to the "plop", hugged Zheng Yi's leg and cried, making Zheng Yi's nose, who never moved easily, sour.
Ten days before the Spring Festival, the brethren of the Warrior Choir had mastered three songs, and they still insisted on running to the old fort far away from the school yard every day to practice hard.
Xie Xieyuan led several brothers to make four drum kits of different sizes using galvanized iron sheets and wire springs that Zheng Yi obtained from the Taikoo Shipyard, and Zheng Yi went into the city out of his own pocket to buy back eight national musical instruments that the brothers were good at, and also gave his brother Zhou Junruo a German-made accordion, and bought a British classical guitar himself.
At the end of the evening rehearsal, Zhou Junruo, who was deeply satisfied, was still unsatisfied and asked Zheng Yi to add at least one more song.
In the past month, the brothers have been under the brainwashing of Zheng Yi's pyramid scheme every day, and they have already thrown away their inferiority complex and shyness, and their confidence has been unprecedented.
Zheng Yi really didn't want to see the situation of being greedy and not rotten, but in the end, he couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the brothers, and sang a children's rhyme casually: "Little girl, Xiao Erlang, carry your schoolbag and enter the school, not afraid of the sun, not afraid of the wind and rain...... Rannigron Grand, ah, Nygrand......"
Before Zheng Yi finished singing, the brothers were already laughing, and then unanimously asked to sing this song, and Zhou Junruo, who was a little crazy, strongly suggested replacing "Song of Good Men" with this "Reading Lang", which made Zheng Yi depressed.
After returning to the dormitory, Zhou Junruo, who was still excited, immediately wrote out the score of "Reading Lang" silently, and then dragged the exhausted Zheng Yi up, forced Zheng Yi to write the lyrics, and finished pacing back and forth, singing softly with great devotion.
Zhou Junruo hummed again, and felt not very satisfied, after a little consideration, his eyes suddenly lit up, and regardless of whether Zheng Yi was asleep or not, he directly dragged him up from the bed, pointed to the third lyric and said solemnly:
"In order to reflect the characteristics of the military, this paragraph needs to be changed, I think it's better, you can help me listen: Xiao Ya Xiao Erlang, put down the schoolbag and carry the gun, not afraid of blood and fire, bravely go to the battlefield, do not wipe out the warlords, and dare not go home to meet my father and mother......"
