"What? Going to the art troupe? ”

The day after Zheng Yuanhai got his wish on the ship, Chen Ming was stunned when he heard the news that he was going to go to the art troupe in Lu Huaicheng's office.

"What are you yelling about. Seconded for a while. It's the New Year soon, and I'm going to go to various units to do condolence performances, aren't you studying music, and I wrote a lot of singing on the boat to the crew before, but now I can't sing it anymore? ”

Secondment? The secondment was fine. Chen Ming sighed.

"Don't you know it's a secondment? I'm fine with a secondment. ”

"What are you talking about? It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. Captain Zhang took a fancy to your name as a combat hero, and you realized this? ”

Chen Ming smiled.

"Then you have to be willing to let me go."

"Fuck off!"

Chen Ming took the train ticket that Lu Huaicheng had booked for him, packed his luggage and hurriedly stepped on the northbound train.

Indeed, the end of the year is approaching. The training tasks of all units are decreasing, combat readiness patrols have been arranged on the sea, and organs have arranged for duty during the Chinese New Year. All that's left is some year-end summary and plans for the next year. No matter what it is, Chen Ming can't intervene now, and go to the art troupe to sing for the rest of the units, and the travel is not bad.

After all, Chen Ming also stayed in the capital for a few years, and according to the address given by Lu Huaicheng, he came to the gate of the art troupe. Under the guard's somewhat surprised eyes, he showed the secondment letter and walked in.

Chen Ming looked around curiously, thinking that the art troupe was all Yingying Yanyan, but at this time, there were few people in the huge courtyard.

Puzzled, he found the regiment commander's office and knocked on the door.

"Yo, you're Chen Ming. You're finally here, and I'm waiting for you. Come with me. ”

The head of the regiment Zhang is not very old, and he carries the rank of civilian cadre on his shoulders. Now there is no qualifications chapter, and Chen Ming can't tell his level, but it is certain that he is higher than himself. Hurriedly raised his hand in salute.

"Our art troupe doesn't like this. Usually it is much easier than your combat troops, usually it is a rehearsal, and then the task is a performance. Generally, some large-scale evening parties and a condolence performance must be held at the end of each year The most important. ”

"In this millennium, the above requires the three art troupes to join forces and come up with the best results. This mission is a bit heavy, there are many border companies, we haven't been to the outpost before, and those girls don't know if they can stand it. ”

Head Zhang said and climbed into a jeep, looked at Chen Mingfa and hurriedly shouted.

"Get in the car, what are you looking at? This is the capital, I don't have a driver. Just be the co-pilot, let's talk. ”

The capital is not only the capital, but also the first wall. Fortunately, the per capita ownership of cars is still very low in these years, and Chen Ming heard this brother who felt like a brother in the capital along the way.

Manually filtering out some nonsense, Chen Ming roughly summed up two points.

First of all, this task is very heavy, so if you kid can write songs, write more.

Secondly, you kid is a combat hero who has been in the Navy newspaper twice and once in the military newspaper, and I rarely like you.

That's right, the second point is the most important. In this way, he always has a face. Because the remaining two art troupes can't come up with such people.

Chen Ming followed Head Zhang to the station of the General Political Art Troupe with black lines on his head. Here, there are more people.

"Oops, Captain Li. Waited, waited, waited. ”

"Hey, it took a while to wait for our battle heroes. Hey, don't underestimate this kid, he was treated as a star on the submarine before, wrote a lot of songs, and can play the violin. ”

"What credit? There are not many, collective first-class merit, individual second-class merit, collective third-class merit, just one, two, three, not much. ”

Chen Ming's ears rang with the undisguised show off of Captain Zhang, but his eyes focused on the door of the performance hall.

A girl in one of these groups, to be exact.

There were about eight people in that group, all wearing Hanfu. They seemed to have just arrived, with light makeup on their faces, but there seemed to be a trace of anxiety between their brows.

"Hey, Chen Ming. Do you hear that? Which girl do you like? You behave well, turn your head and Uncle Zhang will introduce you. ”

Head Zhang's voice interrupted Chen Ming, and he turned his head to find that Head Zhang and another middle-aged man he didn't know were looking at him.

"Nope. Hello Captain Li! ”

Chen Ming's face turned red suddenly, but the two middle-aged men smiled generously and revealed the topic.

During the greetings of several people, Chen Ming knew that the middle-aged man was the head of the General Political Art Troupe. On weekdays, as the art troupe of the General Political Department, it has been steadily pressing Lao Zhang's Haizheng Art Troupe and the Air Political Art Troupe. The purpose of Lao Zhang getting himself here this time was also to make a mockery in front of this old friend.

"You're a little late. Now the interview for the members of the performance team is underway, and it is definitely too late to sing, and the accompaniment has not been combined. Whatever instrument you want, I'll get you. You're going to play it today, and I've heard your Chief of Staff Lu say that you play the violin very well. ”

After taking Chen Ming to receive the number plate, Head Zhang spoke.

"Thank you, Head Zhang. There should be a piano on the stage, so I'll use the piano. ”

Chen Ming thanked Head Zhang for his kindness. Now students who study instrumental music are required to master more than two subjects, Chen Ming's minor was piano, and Chen Ming wanted to try it after not touching it for many years. In addition, the piano will have an advantage over the violin when played solo.

Seeing that Chen Ming had no problem, Head Zhang said goodbye and left after saying hello. As the head of the Haizheng Art Troupe, he is also one of the judges of this selection, and he has to go in and prepare.

As soon as Head Zhang left, many of the eyes of the men and women present focused on Chen Ming.

It was personally sent by the head of the Naval Art Troupe, and the one hanging on his shoulders was not a civilian, but the rank of lieutenant. Fortunately, Chen Ming had been baptized by all kinds of eyes when he was in the agency, and he stood in place very calmly.

"Gee, what can I do. Siyan is suddenly sick now, let's finish. None of us can sing the high notes. ”

"That's it, it's time to not get sick sooner or later."

Chen Ming has always paid attention to the girls wearing Hanfu. Hearing their conversation, Chen Ming interjected.

"Hello, are you in trouble? Is there anything I can do to help you? ”

Chen Ming began to blush after finishing speaking. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to interject with a girl, and he didn't know why. Maybe it's because of the surprise of seeing a girl wearing Hanfu for the first time in this era, or is it because of that girl?

"Hello, thank you for your kindness. But it may be too late. The lead singer we worked with suddenly went to the hospital with acute appendicitis in the morning, and my sisters and I were all studying dance. We can't sing the high notes in that Chinese-style song, and we have been rehearsing for so long for this condolence performance. I wanted to use Chinese-style music and dance to find a new way, but the result was ....."

Ignoring the slightly disgusted expressions of the other girls, Chen Ming saw the girl come forward and replied before.

"Huaxia style? Then I'll write you one. Your voice is great, it should be fine! ”

"It's just that I don't understand dance. You need to arrange it yourself. ”
