"What? You want to participate in the military parade?"
Zhong Cheng smiled and asked Yuan Yi.
"May I?"
"I want to participate in the military band performance."
"Isn't this the 80th anniversary of the War of Resistance against Japan and the victory against fascism?"
Zhong Cheng was a little surprised to hear Yuan Yi's words. He thought Yuan Yi wanted to participate in the military parade and march in the formation!
"I see."
Is there enough time?
Upon hearing Zhong Cheng's agreement, Yuan Yi was instantly overjoyed.
"It's not too late, it's not too late. Some of the songs are ones we've sung before."
"The lyrics of the other songs are also simple."
“I have also worked with military bands, and we are familiar with each other.”
Yuan Yi immediately seized the opportunity to rise to the occasion.
Although Yuan Yi still holds the title of the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe, it's no longer the era of Li Gang.
Li Gang and Cheng Wei are still living as black people in the pirate country!
So he stopped going to the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe, even though they would still welcome him if he went.
"Okay, I'll let Lao Shao know later."
"Go directly to the head of the military band."
"Yes, sir, you're busy!"
General Zhong Cheng must be very busy, as he is also presiding over the military parade.
Therefore, Yuan Yi did not disturb him too much.
Yuan Yi picked up the song prepared by the system and went out.
Our mother's military band is also a long-established and excellent traditional unit, formerly known as the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region Military Band.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was expanded into the North China Military Region Military Band. In July 1952, it was incorporated into the General Staff Department. In April 1962, it was transferred to the General Political Department and renamed the Military Band. It is now known as the Joint Military Band.
The military band consists of four sections: three are symphony bands and the other is a cadet section. It is believed to be the world's largest military band, with a formal membership of over 360 people, far exceeding the 200-plus members of Emily's largest military band.
The military band adheres to the principle of serving the armed forces, the people, and socialism.
Its main task is to perform for important national and military ceremonies, important conferences, and welcoming and sending off state guests.
They also frequently hold concerts for the military, factories, and rural areas, performing original or adapted symphonies, wind concertos, overtures, medleys of military songs, marches, and solos and vocal pieces.
It is very popular with the audience and has received praise from many visiting foreign heads of state and foreign guests.
Yuan Yi drove directly to the military band.
The guards at the gate were stunned for a moment when they saw Yuan Yi's two bars and four stars in military rank.
After parking his car, Yuan Yi headed straight for the regimental commander's office.
"Knock knock knock".
Yuan Yi arrived at the regimental commander's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
A deep, resonant voice rang out.
Yuan Yi pushed the door open and went inside.
Shao Haifeng looked up and saw Yuan Yi, then his expression froze.
He then stood up immediately.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what wind blew you, a busy man, here?"
After several previous collaborations and with Li Gang and Cheng Wei acting as matchmakers, the two became acquainted.
"sit."
Shao Haifeng pulled Yuan Yi directly to the sofa.
"I heard you're also serving as the conductor of the parade band this time?"
Shao Haifeng smiled after hearing Yuan Yi's words.
"Yes, we originally wanted to invite you to be the team leader."
"But I couldn't get in touch with you before, I knew you were busy!"
"What brings you here today?"
Yuan Yi was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected Shao Haifeng to have contacted him.
However, preparations for the grand military parade definitely began more than six months in advance.
He was on a mission abroad at that time!
"I'd like to join this concert, what do you think?"
Yuan Yi had just finished speaking when he saw Shao Haifeng's excited expression.
"That's great! I was thinking of contacting you earlier."
"In that case, I'll hand over the command to you."
"I'll just sing along with them!!"
Yuan Yi waved his hand dismissively: "No, no, no, I can't conduct. Just let me be the lead singer."
"I also brought a few songs."
Shao Haifeng was even happier after hearing that Yuan Yi had selected several songs.
And so, Yuan Yi successfully joined the military band's formation.
The military band made very thorough preparations for this military parade.
More than 1,300 officers and soldiers were directly selected from ten units across the entire army to perform.
The parade performance is divided into three parts: ceremony, parade, and march-past, with a total of 28 pieces of music. In addition to 12 classic parade pieces, the remaining 16 pieces are brand new works tailored for this parade.
Among the twelve classic songs, there are several that Yuan Yi has performed before, such as "The Big Sword March," "Forward, Forward, Forward," and "The Volunteer Army Song."
The following sixteen new songs were all selected by Yuan Yi from three hundred patriotic songs.
Eight of the chapters from the Yellow River Cantata are among them.
"March of the Steel Torrent," "Ode to Heroes," "Guerrilla Song," and so on.
When Shao Haifeng saw the songs Yuan Yi had brought out, he almost drooled.
Today, Yuan Yi's reputation is renowned throughout the entire China National Opera and Dance Troupe.
Any song he releases is guaranteed to be a masterpiece, one that will be sung for a long time.
Whether it's teenagers, middle-aged people, the elderly, or even children, everyone can sing a few lines; it's practically a household name.
"Okay, there are still more than ten days left, that should be enough!"
Shao Haifeng slammed his hand on the table and made the decision immediately.
