Chapter 141: The Grand Finale
"Team Zhao, aren't you talking about it just a show, and you still need so many police forces in our bureau?" On the side of Tianma Square in Fu'an, in a blue and white police car, a policeman said in a relaxed tone.
"Li Yulong talks a lot about you kid, let me tell you, today's task was personally assigned by the director, it is said that a big leader is coming, don't give me any Lou Zi, we won't be able to eat and go around when the time comes!" Squadron Leader Zhao Tinghu, who was sitting in the front row, said with a tiger face. Yesterday, the bureau held a middle-level meeting, and the director personally arranged today's security tasks, with a very heavy tone, clearly pointing out that "whoever has a problem will take off the police uniform and leave, and must ensure that nothing goes wrong!" "Although I don't know which big man is coming, I also know that I can't be sloppy when I look at the leader's position.
More and more people gathered in the square, but fortunately, the Tianma Square in Fu'an was large enough to accommodate a few thousand people.
In the center of the square, close to the position of the statue, a stage with a height of one meter, a width of seven or eight meters, and a length of more than ten meters has been set up.
"Li Yue, you're here too." Several boys who looked like students sat casually on the cement platform of the flower bed in the square, greeting each other, and one of them smiled and greeted a tall girl.
"Well, Ma Tao, you are also here to listen to Liu Yufan and Han Xuefei's ensemble "On the Moon", by the way, have you passed the sixth level of flute?" Li Yue asked with a smile.
"No, I'll pass it next time. By the way, Li Yue, when do you have time, how about we also practice that song? Isn't your guzheng also quite powerful? Let's also make a combination, how about letting Chen Qiang help us accompany us when the time comes? Ma Tao said excitedly.
"No problem, my music teacher just pulled off the score in the past two days, I have a copy here, if you two want to practice, you must call me." After the start of school a few days later, we will use this song "On the Moon" for Teacher's Day performance, and the effect will definitely be very good! Chen Qiang, who practiced the electronic piano, also said excitedly.
"Hey, I just don't know if I can play that piece of brilliance, it's a little difficult for me." Li Yue frowned, but what echoed in her mind was Han Xuefei's fast brilliance. She had been chasing several times in a row, just to listen to that zheng-flute ensemble. And she also recorded the sound with her Walkman, but the effect of the live recording was not good, and the noise was too loud. The most difficult part of the guzheng part of this piece is the fast brilliance, the rhythm in it is particularly difficult to master, although Li Yue is about to pass the sixth level, but it is still very difficult to play this paragraph.
"Practice well, it should be about the same." Ma Tao said expectantly. Imagining the situation of playing this piece on stage, his heart was a little hot. Now among the students who practice instrumental music, the song "On the Moon" has been heard, and many people are fascinated by the sound of the zither and flute full of fairy spirits just after listening to it, and there are not a few who imitate it in private. Even some flute and guzheng teachers like to demonstrate a short piece of this piece when teaching, or to play a section when they are usually entertaining themselves.
Just like today's performance, many of the waiting audiences nearby, like Ma Tao and Li Yue, came to play for Liu Yufan and Han Xuefei's zhengdi ensemble. Some people even have flutes in their hands, probably preparing to ask Liu Yufan for advice on the spot.
Of course, where there is praise, there is criticism. Some teachers of flute and guzheng, especially those who are old and have old qualifications, criticized the song "On the Moon" for its superficial content and rough skills, and for completely making up and changing the performance of the flute and guzheng, and also called on their respective students not to learn from them, so as not to embark on a "crooked path".
Liu Yufan just laughed at these rumors, although the concept of new folk music was not the first thing he proposed, but since the day it came out, there has been controversy. This is still popular in a small area of Fu'an, Liu Yufan believes that if one day, "On the Moon", a new folk music adapted by him, spreads all over the country, then the scolding may rise in response to the praise. But it was nothing, as long as he was convinced in his heart that it was the right thing to do. There are those who cling to traditional things and refuse to make a little change, all the time.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning, a black car drove out of the county government axe compound, escorted by two police cars at the beginning, all the way to Tianma Square.
Chen Liangwei, Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, is a big man, and at this moment, he is sitting in the No. 1 car of the county party committee, combing the overall big back, and the white half-sleeved shirt on his body does not have a trace of wrinkles, and the whole person exudes a strong might.
Secretary Zhang of the county party committee accompanied him to sit in the back seat, and the two of them exchanged things from time to time along the way, mainly Secretary Zhang said that Minister Chen nodded his head lightly while listening, and said "en" from time to time.
Chen Liangwei is a deputy ministerial-level cadre, and it is extremely rare for a leader of his level to go directly to a small county town for investigation. This trip is also in response to the call of the province's "leading cadres to the grassroots" activity, and Fu'an can be selected, it is really a great luck, you know, I don't know how many counties are vying for this place, this is a rare opportunity to contact with the high-level!
These days, in addition to listening to the reports of the county cadres, Minister Chen also occasionally goes down to conduct research. Since these days, whether it is in the newspapers of Fu'an or on TV, the word he has heard most frequently is "literature and art go to the countryside", which makes him feel very novel. When I asked the county officials and heard that the effect was still very good, I wanted to take a look.
Of course, Minister Chen has such an idea, and as the leader of Fu'an County, he naturally can't ask for it. Because it turned out that this activity was also prepared for Minister Chen's investigation. The county leaders were thinking about how to tell the leaders to arrange the itinerary, but they didn't expect people to take the initiative to mention it, which was really sleepy and met a pillow.
In the front row of the stage, a row of leadership seats was temporarily set up, of course, surrounded by heavily guarded police and plainclothes, so many onlookers, what went wrong is not a joke.
When the leaders are seated, the performance officially begins.
Jiang Ya is still wearing a plain white half-sleeved dress today, like a water hibiscus, looking beautiful and generous. As soon as he came on stage, he detonated the enthusiasm of the audience. After more than a dozen performances, Jiang Ya also has a large team of "fan groups", whether it is her amazing beauty or generous and humorous hosting, she has left a deep impression on the audience.
"Hello everyone! I'm so happy to meet you again! Seeing so many people here today, my heart is really very happy, which fully shows everyone's love and support for our Heart to Heart Art Troupe's literary and artistic activities in the countryside. Today, it is also the last performance of our art troupe in the countryside, our activities lasted for a month, covering 23 towns and villages in Fu'an, with a total audience of more than 60,000 people, which is a number that we are proud of...... "Jiang Ya stood on the stage and presided over it generously, and the leaders in the audience couldn't stop nodding.
Since the launch of the activities of going to the countryside for literature and art, the achievements and influence have been obvious to all, especially the officials who have participated in it. In the past, similar activities have been held, but every time there is thunder and rain, and the show is also some old-fashioned routines, the level is not high, and the masses don't buy it much, just to take a few photos and write a few summaries. But this time it seems to be different, less than a month after the performance, the audience is snowballing, and the scale of each performance is getting bigger and bigger. In the next few performances, large-scale stage equipment was also used, and the performance effect was actually comparable to some large-scale cultural programs. Seeing such a situation, the original organizers were a little dizzy!
Especially Minister Cai, who has been dizzy for the past two days, will wake up laughing even from a dream. It turned out that it was just for the scene, by the way, to be a favor, I didn't expect the effect to be so good, looking at the performances reported on the TV station, the unprecedented grand occasion, Minister Cai had a hunch that this activity might be taken as a typical example by the superiors, if that is the case, he will be developed. At the very least, in this election of the county party committee, it is a certainty to go further!
"Well, having said all this, I'm sure everyone is already in a hurry. Next, I won't say much, the wonderful program will be presented to you immediately......" After Jiang Ya finished saying a short paragraph prepared by the Propaganda Department in advance, she simply announced the start of the performance.
The fiery and energetic trumpet, the youthful and dynamic modern dance, and the passionate singing...... The wonderful programs attracted warm applause from everyone in the audience from time to time. Even several leaders in the front row made an exception and did not symbolize that they would leave after watching one or two programs, but watched it with relish.
"I know, many of the friends who came to watch the show today are here for a show, do you know what the show is?" After another show, Jiang Ya walked on the stage and said with a smile, as soon as the words fell, she stretched out the microphone in her hand to the audience.
"Over the moon!"
"Liu Yufan, I love you!"
"Guzheng beauty Xue Fei, we will always support you!"
…… There were bursts of enthusiastic shouts from the audience, and its momentum was much more enthusiastic than the previous performance!
"What kind of show is this "On the Moon", it seems to be very popular." Minister Chen asked Secretary Zhang beside him with great interest.
"This~~" Secretary Zhang groaned for a moment, then turned his head to the right hand side, and beckoned to Minister Cai of the Propaganda Department, who was separated by a few positions.
"Shouwen, tell us why this "Over the Moon" is so popular." Secretary Zhang asked with a smile, without any embarrassment on his face because he didn't know about the show before.
"Minister Chen, Secretary Zhang, this program is a newly arranged program, through the way of guzheng and flute, the combination of folk music and electroacoustic music, so as to create a new form of expression, and this song, is composed by an actor in the art team, more than a dozen performances, the audience response is very good, there are many audiences in this audience are their music fans." Cai Shouwen bent over and explained with a smile.
"Well, yes, let's listen to this "On the Moon" too." Minister Chen said with a smile, and several leaders next to him also smiled and nodded, with a very interested look on their faces.
