Chapter 343: Westward Frontier
The winter vacation passed quickly, and Ye Chen experienced many visits by seven aunts, eight aunts and matchmakers, and finally dragged his tired body to school.
Ye Chen of the choir does not have to go, as for the chorus conductor, Cui Tingyu personally led the conductor, and Wen Cong occasionally conducted on behalf of Cui Tingyu.
The weather in the depths of winter is very cold, especially in the capital, which is much colder than in the south.
This is the first winter after Ye Chen's rebirth, he has not experienced this taste for more than ten years, looking at the ice glass under the eaves, the corners of his mouth curled up a smile.
Two days before the start of school, Ye Chen also went to the choir several times and conducted several rehearsals, but there were rules in the school that it was impossible for the choir to let him conduct before his notice was lifted.
Every time I went, Cui Tingyu complained, and in the end I simply chose not to go.
For the students of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, some people think that Ye Chen is doing very right, and some people think that Ye Chen is doing too much, and openly showing love to others on such a big platform must be ridiculed at home and abroad.
Each has its own ideas, although more than a month has passed, it has still become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner in the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts.
During this time, Ye Chen devoted himself to the study of film history, although the teacher of the Political Department found Ye Chen several times and talked to him about personal problems.
In April, the freshman directing department wanted to organize a border interview and asked them to write a script for this interview, and the two-week border interview began with the prelude, taking the train to the frontier, more than 40 students of the first-year directing department finally arrived at the southern fork outpost of the border army after two and a half days.
The post is located in the north-west, bordering the territories of different countries, but there is a high level of soil erosion and is already semi-desertified.
But it was in this semi-desertification that the outpost was once a mysterious transition of fertile soil and water, but in the vicissitudes of time, it turned into a bare desert area, and there were a few poplars erected there next to the outpost, like warriors standing up to the sky.
When I first arrived at the outpost, there happened to be a few resting sentries singing Ye Chen's "Little Poplar" in the lounge.
It's just that their singing is really not very good, which makes the students who have just arrived laugh out loud.
This time, it was Wang Nianjiao and a male teacher named Zheng Guofu who led the team, and they stopped them by speaking out.
The accompanying instructor looked at Zheng Guofu and said: "Teacher Zheng, there is nothing to do, the children, they are all the seedlings of the future of the country, if you can make a one-step documentary of the life of our frontier soldiers this time, and the big guys can still see it when they are discharged from the army, it will be very good, in addition, you are learning to direct, this vocal knowledge is always better than ours, if it's no problem, see if you can take our soldiers to learn songs, so that everyone can have a little fun in their leisure time,"
Zheng Guofu looked at the instructor and said: "Instructor Zhang, you have said it, the purpose of our visit this time is not anything else, on the one hand, it is to let the children experience the life of the military camp, and on the other hand, let the students go back to write a script through the experience of this time, and by the way, shoot some of the daily life of our soldiers, and show the students the life in the frontier in the future." ”
Zhang Daoyuan smiled and said: "There is no problem with this writing, there is something that all the soldiers of our outpost actively cooperate with you, do you think this matter can be arranged?" ”
Zheng Guofu smiled: "There is no problem with this, you can rest assured!" The song just now was "Little Poplar", did the soldiers like this song so much? ”
Instructor Zhang smiled: "Yes! Is this song also very similar to our outpost? Little poplar, look, although it is bare now, as long as spring begins, it is green here, and it is also the only scenery we have here. Hey, we don't have a signal here, but we don't even watch it on TV, this song is still when I was in the August 1st military exercise, and I took notes when I went to the battalion headquarters to watch it, but I don't remember all the places, so I always feel like there is something missing when I sing it? ”
Wang Nianjiao grinned and said, "That means you haven't seen Ye Chen, the creator of this song?" ”
Instructor Zhang smiled: "The soldiers want to see it!" I have been looking forward to the avant-garde art troupe coming to our side to condole, I don't know that the Year of the Monkey is the month of the horse, if Ye Chen stands in front of us now, the brothers will definitely die of joy. ”
Zheng Guofu said with a smile: "This can't be nonsense, I can tell you that we are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon here, don't talk about teaching you to sing, that is, you can find out the originality of the songs you like." ”
Wang Nianjiao said with a smile: "Teacher Zheng, don't tease Instructor Zhang, life on this border is very hard, there are only telegraphs and telephones, not even a black and white TV, and the only spare time is singing." ”
Instructor Zhang took a puff and said, "Yes! But the environment here is so harsh that the brothers now have singing as their only pleasure. ”
Wang Nianjiao said with a smile: "Okay, Instructor Zhang, we won't sell you a lawsuit, we have a professional singer here, and now the director who is learning, when it's okay, let him teach the soldiers to sing!" ”
Zheng Guofu smiled: "Ye Chen, come over for me!" ”
Ye Chen responded with a smile and ran over and said, "Teacher, you called me, I was listening to my comrades-in-arms singing, I sang very well, I like it!" ”
Ye Chen told the truth, he hadn't been to the army for a long time, and now he was here again, like returning home, although the singing voice was very ugly, but in his ears it was like a heavenly sound.
Regarding the statements of other classmates, Ye Chen refuted them for a while, and when Ye Chen trained a few young classmates, he ran out when he heard Zheng Guofu's voice.
"Ye Chen, I will arrange a task for you today, we soldiers need a music teacher, I think you are just right, we are here to experience the life of the army this time, so, this task is suitable for you, we will hand over this task to you, don't let us down, you know?" Zheng Guofu looked at Ye Chendao.
Wang Nianjiao also smiled: "Ye Chen, when you arrive at the army, I see that you have arrived at your own home, this task, I guess you will not refuse!" ”
Ye Chen said with a smile: "Of course, I haven't been to the army for almost a year, of course I want to experience it this time, you can see it!" I'll give you a choir for a day! ”
Instructor Zhang was stunned for a moment and said: "Don't brag about your kid, the choir is a top student who learns music, how can we be so powerful, you just need to let them sing the words correctly, when will the competition be held, let us win an award, right?" ”
