The performance style of a cappella singing with impromptu accompaniment greatly aroused the interest of two art troupe leaders in the audience, who actually asked, "What other folk songs can you sing?"
In this way, Jiang Lan sang three songs in a row before stopping.
The curtain on the stage was drawn and the jury below began to discuss.
Gao Lei was filled with emotion: "I used to think those foreign gadgets like dulcimers were so awful, with all that clanging noise and I couldn't tell what they were playing! I never knew they could even play songs like Defending the Yellow River and folk songs!"
Chen Zhong also thought it was right. If he had known it was so nice, he would not have opposed Old Ye buying a piano to keep at home.
It seems that if he thought Western musical instruments were not pleasant to listen to before, it was because the music was not right, not because he couldn't appreciate them!
Captain Guo was more interested in Jiang Yun playing the piano. He looked at Captain Zhang with envy and said, "You have such a talent in your troupe. Was he specially recruited?"
Captain Zhang was shocked: "I thought it was from your group!"
Chen Jing's eyes had been moving between Jiang Jun's hands and Jiang Lan's smile. When she heard the leader's conversation, she felt very unhappy. She clenched her hands tightly on her knees, not knowing whether she should feel disappointed or happy.
Gao Lei pointed at Captain Guo and told Captain Zhang: "Talent like this doesn't belong to you, me, or him!"
He didn't even try to keep Jiang Yun in the military, so how could two mere art troupes possibly take Jiang Yun away!
Let’s be realistic!
Commander Gao decided on the spot to let Jiang Lan join the art troupe and send her to the Military Art Academy for training as the number one seed.
All the female soldiers who danced with Jiang Lan stayed in the art troupe because of their outstanding performances.
When Captain Zhang saw that the commander had spoken, he immediately asked someone to take Jiang Lan and the others to arrange dormitories, asking if there was anything he disagreed with.
Gao Lei looked at Chen Zhong with envy and jealousy: "Your Xiao Jiang can also play the piano! Yesterday it was Xiao Jing who stole the limelight, and today it's Xiao Jiang who's showing off. Tsk, how come everyone is running to your house!"
Chen Zhongle was overjoyed: "I really don't know this!"
Director Guo asked Chen Jing in surprise, "Is that the one playing the piano your sister? Why haven't you mentioned her before? Is she in some art unit?"
Chen Jing shook her head: "Not my sister, yes, she is Jiang Lan's sister."
Captain Zhang was delighted: "That's great! We can invite Jiang Lan's sister to our troupe more often for guidance! We can also arrange for Jiang Lan to learn to play the piano! She can play "Defend the Yellow River"!"
That expression made it seem as if this program had already been scheduled on the program list of the military art troupe.
Regimental Commander Guo couldn't stand it: "Didn't you hear the commander say that it doesn't belong to us (our regiment), nor does it belong to you (your regiment)!"
I can see talents, but I can't grab them, so I can't stand seeing others getting close to me!
Gao Lei waved his hand and said, "Don't argue. She's not only good at playing the piano, she speaks foreign languages fluently too. She definitely won't join an art troupe. Besides, she's from Deputy Commander Chen's family. If you want her help, it depends on whether the Chen family agrees!"
Now it was Captain Guo's turn to be happy: "Chen Jing, so she's your brother's girlfriend! From now on, you'll have someone to help you with your singing and dancing rehearsals!"
One minute on stage is the result of ten years of hard work off stage. Real skills are cultivated continuously outside of get off work!
Judging from his ability in improvisational accompaniment, there is definitely no problem with composing music!
Chen Jing nodded quickly: "Yes!"
But in her heart, she was scratching her head, wondering if she had told her brother what she had said to him last night. It would be best if he hadn't told anyone, or else it would be so awkward when they met at home later.
Troupe leader Zhang was very conscious of his sovereignty. Jiang Jun was out of the picture, but Jiang Lan was still there. "Hey, Lao Guo, you guys can't steal those folk songs Jiang Lan sang. They're our troupe's signature repertoire! I'll arrange for her to start rehearsing tomorrow!"
Arrange a new program, especially folk songs related to the working people, and add some elements of the unity of the military and the people. It is guaranteed to win an award at the performance!
Captain Guo glared back in disbelief. "With so many songs, we'll definitely arrange something new, and it won't be the same as yours!" He handed the task to Chen Jing, saying, "Chen Jing, you're our troupe's lead dancer. Go back and work with Teacher Tang on a new choreography, and try to get it into the military gala early next year!"
Chen Jing had no choice but to agree - it was obvious that Captain Guo wanted to compete with Captain Zhang and let her take the blame.
Gao Lei instructed the guard: "Go and call Teacher Xiao Jiang over and get to know Captain Guo and Captain Zhang."
Xiao Hu ran a lap and came back to report: "Teacher Xiao Jiang has a back injury, and Staff Officer Chen sent her home to rest!"
Chen Zhong remembered: "Yes, I was slightly injured."
Team leader Guo felt a little regretful, but then he thought this was a good opportunity: "Chen Jing, then you stay and take good care of Teacher Xiao Jiang. The team will grant you a day off."
Chen Jing could only bite the bullet and take the blame again: "Yes!"
…………
Gao Lei and Chen Zhong still had to go to the company to visit the soldiers who stayed at their posts during the holidays. They didn't want to sit for long, so they stood up and left the auditorium with the guards.
Chen Zhong wanted to go home and take a look: "Today our family is all together, Jiang Yonghua is here, I specially invited him to our house for lunch to formally bring up the matter of Xiao Wu and Xiao Jun, and our two families will become relatives. Lao Gao, you go and be a witness for us."
Gao Lei was of course willing: "Okay! It's a good opportunity to express our condolences to Teacher Xiao Jiang! Xiao Hu, go get some condolences and take them to Deputy Commander Chen's house immediately."
Chen Zhong also asked the guards to call Jiang Yonghua to his home.
After walking a few steps, Gao Lei ran into Ye Qingyin who was out for a walk. He greeted her, "Old Ye, why are you out here? Are you making room for your son?"
Ye Qingyin said with a forced smile: "There's so much room at home, why would I need to clear it out? I'm going to go buy some things."
Ye Qingyin was dissatisfied with this marriage proposal banquet. Her son and daughter had finally gotten together, but two outsiders had to be added, and they were here to snatch her son away. She immediately lost all interest.
Chen Zhong asked, "Don't buy anything. Tell Sister Liu to go back and cook. I have to leave at one. Section Chief Jiang will be here soon. Let's talk while we can."
Ye Qingyin held a breath in her heart. Just now, Xiao Wu carried Xiao Jiang in on his back, his collar was wet with sweat, and he ran up and down to pour water for Xiao Jiang to drink, fetch water for him to wash, and delivered everything to Xiao Jiang. He didn't take her, his mother, seriously at all.
In front of Gao Lei, Ye Qingyin couldn't get angry at Chen Zhong, so she just smiled and said, "Then let Sister Liu go cook first. I'll go to the military service center by myself and be back soon. Commander Gao, you go with Lao Chen first. Xiao Wu is at home."
Gao Lei smiled and nodded, then turned around and chatted with Chen Zhong as they walked: "How is the relationship between your family's Old Ye and Xiao Jiang?"
Women are so narrow-minded and jealous, no matter how old they are.
