Chapter 320 Art Troupe
When I returned home, I saw Xia Qingqing at home.
Xia Qingqing probably just arrived and was drinking hot tea to warm herself up.
Seeing Xia Zhizhi coming back from her fooling around, Xia Qingqing put down her cup and looked at her. Her rosy little face told her that she was having a good time at home, so she felt relieved.
Randomly said with some complaint: "My sister asked you to go to the army to play with me, and you promised to do so. But after such a long time, you didn't come once."
Xia Zhizhi was having a great time fooling around and had forgotten about this matter long ago, but she always said one thing to one person and another thing to another person.
He immediately ran over and held Xia Qingqing's arm affectionately: "Oh sister, you are finally back. I missed you so much. I have wanted to see you for a long time, but I was too busy recently."
Xia Zhizhi boasted to Xia Qingqing about her recent achievements, then took out a copy of calligraphy that she had just picked up from her bag and began to show off.
Xia Zhizhi asked for it right away, but she actually didn't know what was written in the calligraphy.
I opened a book and saw the words "The willows are swaying by the city, and the mulberry trees are green on the roadsides" written on it, and the words on my lips immediately changed.
"Look, sister. This reminds me of you right away. Your name is on it. I asked my leader for it specifically because I wanted to give it to you tomorrow when I visit you. I didn't expect you to go home first."
Most girls are meticulous and sensitive. Like the elves living in mushrooms, they often pay attention to details and are easily moved by things that no one else has noticed, such as a small flower or a leaf of strange shape.
Anyway, I know how to pay attention to details.
My precious sister thought of her sister as soon as she saw the word Qingqing, and she asked the leader to come and see me off! She must love her sister so much!
Xia Qingqing was indeed deeply moved.
He immediately hugged Xia Zhizhi and got close to her.
Xia Zhizhi likes to hang out with all the lesbians who like her.
The two sisters chatted for a while, and then Xia Qingqing talked about business.
The Chinese New Year is just over half a month away. To make it more lively, the Beijing Art Troupe will begin to hold art performances in eight military regions in turn. It will be a grand event.
The development of the art troupe at this time began to enter its heyday.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were a huge number of people in the art troupes, including drama troupes, song and dance troupes, pingju troupes, Yue opera troupes, and Peking opera troupes. Some of the art troupes even performed acrobatics.
It can be said that it is a gathering of heroes.
The higher-ups realized that there were too many comrades in the art troupe, so they decided to gradually reduce the number, improve the quality, and develop it in the direction of formalization and specialization.
Since 1950, the adjustment, streamlining and reorganization of all military art troupes and teams, except the volunteer army, began.
The former General Political Department proposed that all major military units should "establish comprehensive art troupes with singing and dancing as the main focus and professional division of labor" and that army, division art troupes and teams should achieve "one specialty with multiple capabilities."
After adjustments, the song and dance troupe, opera troupe and drama troupe were retained in the early 1960s.
So by the time of Xia Qingqing, all major military regions and arms of the service had generally established professional song and dance troupes or comprehensive art troupes focusing on song and dance.
The art troupe here in Beijing is called the "Comrades Art Troupe" and its subordinate units are divided into the Comrades Song and Dance Troupe, the Comrades Drama Troupe and the Comrades Peking Opera Troupe.
There are not too many regular performers in professional art troupes. They are all cadres, and the lowest rank is the regular platoon leader.
Occasionally, when we were rehearsing a large-scale drama or song and dance performance and there were not enough people, we would draw some comrades from the logistics department, such as the propaganda team, to come over. Those who could be drawn were all from the army's amateur performance groups.
Actors in amateur art troupes are considered warriors, and when they are promoted is a matter for the future.
Xia Qingqing is a capable person who works hard and has a place in both the song and dance troupe and the drama troupe.
From Xia Qingqing's tone, Xia Zhizhi thought there might be some humility in it.
According to the classification in opera, Xia Qingqing looks like a Da Qingyi. Xia Zhizhi has also heard her hum a few lines of songs. She sings quite well and is said to be able to play two musical instruments.
With the image of Xia Qingqing here, whenever the troupe rehearses a drama, she will definitely be invited to be the protagonist, and she will definitely be arranged to sing in the chorus or solo, and she will also have to perform musical instruments.
It should be the existence of a round pillar.
Therefore, Xia Qingqing came back this time to ask Xia Zhizhi's opinion: "Sister will have a performance in a while, Zhizhi and sister will go to the army to play for a few days, okay? When sister performs, you can cheer me up from below."
Which sister complex can resist seeing his sister staring at him in the audience and showing off to others: "Look, that's my sister, she kissed me!"?
In addition, Xia Qingqing had other selfish motives.
She thought about taking Xia Zhizhi to see the work of the art troupe. To be honest, it was very fascinating to stand on the stage and receive the attention of thousands of people and the thunderous applause.
If Xia Zhizhi liked this feeling, she wouldn't have made a fuss about going to the countryside.
Xia Qingqing is a typical city kid. Although she seems to be quite comfortable living in the countryside, traveling and living are different.
Xia Qingqing just doesn't want her sister to waste her youth in the village.
Xia Zhizhi has the external conditions. If she wants to do so, and her family makes some arrangements for her, it won't be difficult for her to join the art troupe.
Although literary and artistic workers these days are not all in a harmonious and peaceful state on stage, anyone with a little ambition wants to stand out and be the best, and they are quite competitive with each other.
But Xia Qingqing has the confidence. As long as Xia Zhizhi is willing and Xia Qingqing can help her pave the way, Xia Zhizhi can just happily do what she likes.
By then, the sisters will be together every day.
Happy.
Xia Zhizhi had nothing to do recently, and since Xia Qingqing had invited her, she naturally wanted to go. She nodded repeatedly and flattered her halfheartedly, "Wow, I've wanted to see your performance for a long time. You must be the best!"
The two of them talked about this with Grandma Xia.
Zeng Zelan was a little reluctant, but she and Xia Qingqing had the same idea and thought it would be a good idea to let Xia Zhizhi and her sister go to the army to take a look, just in case they changed their minds.
In the eyes of normal people, what wouldn't be better than going to the countryside?
Because I'll be gone for several days, it's not convenient to bring a male comrade to serve me at the military camp all the time. Even someone as arrogant as Xia Zhizhi has to consider what people say.
So she asked Ah Ju to pack up a bunch of food and clothes for her.
In the military, no matter what you eat or use, you have to have a background.
The next day, Xia Bangguo's guards first sent the two elders of the Xia family to work, and then sent the two sisters over.
Xia Bangguo's car license plate can be driven directly to the dormitory building.
The military rank system was abolished in the army, and the same was true for the art troupe.
The salary in the art troupe is high, and Xia Qingqing does have a background. Now she is a cadre at the regimental level in the troupe, even though she is not married. If she were married, she would have been high enough to bring her family with her to join the army.
