"What can I do to help her?" Xing Baohua asked.
"Tell her your creative concept at the time, and tell her about your mindset when you were creating this song."
Xing Baohua thought to himself, "Who knows what I'm thinking!"
However, after thinking for a moment, he said, "I can't tell Comrade Geng Ling about this. But there are other ways, and I need your assistance. It will take some time."
"You said that as long as it doesn't violate discipline or work regulations, I can agree to your request if conditions permit." This regimental commander, Zhu Kaihua, didn't give a definitive answer, wanting to see what Xing Baohua would ask for.
"I need a film, and an editor."
"What film?" Zhu Kaihua asked.
"The 'Wreath Under the Mountain' movie just premiered. I wonder if you have it here?" Xing Baohua said.
"Correspondent"
"arrive!"
"Go find the video, and while you're at it, call Li Wengang over," Zhu Kaihua ordered loudly.
"Look at their efficiency," Xing Baohua muttered to himself with envy.
"How do I do what I found for you?"
"Edit the video, cut the best parts to fit the length of this song. Let her watch it repeatedly and think about it over and over again," Xing Baohua said.
"Will it work?"
"It'll work. I got the inspiration from watching a movie about the Korean War." Xing Baohua started spouting nonsense again.
There's no way around it; it was copied, so I can only cover it up with lies.
The editor arrived quickly. He was also a middle-aged man.
"Comrade Li Wengang, in a moment you will follow this young comrade's instructions and edit some movie clips."
Li Wengang stood at attention and said, "Yes, sir."
So, three bystanders watched Zhu Kaihua conduct the dance while the orchestra played "The Blood-Stained Glory" in the rehearsal hall.
Xing Baohua and editor Li Wengang introduced themselves to each other. Xing Baohua then reiterated his requirements.
"That's easy. 'Garland at the Foot of the Mountain' is a new movie. I don't know if the auditorium has it. If not, we'll need to get a copy."
As soon as Li Wengang finished speaking, the communications officer ran over carrying a metal box, saying that he had obtained the video.
Afterwards, Li Wengang led the two to another location.
“This film has nine reels in total. Let’s watch it once first. Tell me which part needs to be cut, and I’ll make a note of it,” Li Wengang said.
In fact, Xing Baohua and Geng Ling had already seen it yesterday, but Xing Baohua couldn't describe the scene and could only tell Li Wengang when they watched it again from the beginning.
We ate lunch in the canteen. The food was good, no worse than the food at the machinery factory, but the variety was a bit limited.
A balanced diet requires a mix of meat and vegetables, as well as whole grains and refined grains.
Xing Baohua ate with relish and continued editing in the afternoon.
It wasn't until around four o'clock that the whole clip was finished.
Xing Baohua was giving Geng Ling singing instructions from the side.
He has no idea how to give guidance! He's just giving random, nonsensical instructions, while Li Wengang listens with great interest.
"Teacher Li, do you have any recording equipment?" Xing Baohua asked.
"have."
“Record it,” Xing Baohua said.
"Is this really necessary?" Li Wengang asked after a slight hesitation. Actually, the performing arts troupe had no shortage of equipment, but he just felt there was no need to record.
"Yes, that way we can compare her voice!" Xing Baohua said, though he also had his own ulterior motives.
Since we already have the existing footage, we'll copy it and find a way to take this edited segment. We'll also take the recorded songs. That'll save us trouble. Xing Baohua plans to handle the post-production back in central Shandong.
"Alright." Li Wengang agreed. His superiors had told him to follow this young comrade's orders, so he would carry them out.
After repeated attempts, Geng Ling finally found her footing and incorporated folk and bel canto techniques into the song with great enthusiasm.
Having poured her emotions into the song, Geng Ling's voice was sweet, expressive, and highly infectious.
After Geng Ling finished singing, Xing Baohua clapped and said, "She sang really well. Now go to the rehearsal hall and sing it again. It would be best to test the effect with accompaniment."
Xing Baohua then said to Li Wengang, "Teacher Li, call a few people and move the recording equipment over there to record it once."
Li Wengang asked again, "Is this necessary?"
"I think it's absolutely necessary! It's just a matter of re-editing the clips! When showing movies at the grassroots level, adding these clips along with the songs would be incredibly inspiring!"
Li Wengang thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense."
"Teacher Li, could you give me an extra copy when you're copying these clips?" Xing Baohua asked, trying to take advantage of the situation.
"I need to consult my supervisor about this. Please wait for my reply."
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Li. What do you usually do when you're not busy with work?" Xing Baohua took the opportunity to ask the editor to do some freelance work for him.
"I also have work to do normally."
"Oh, I have a naval battle film that I need Mr. Li to help edit?"
Li Wengang, who was about to go out to call for help, stopped and turned around to ask, "Naval battle?"
