The next morning, when gathering, Li Siming was appointed by the company commander as the director of the *ideology learning achievements report. This is a literary and artistic position that the company commander had just learned from the instructor. There were 120 people in the company. Everything followed Li Siming's arrangements and emphasized that this was a political task that anyone should attach great importance to.

So, our Director Li took office immediately. What Li Siming didn't expect was that an important part of his colorful life would unfold from then on.

As a director, in addition to having a hunter-like sense of art, he should also learn to decompose and authorize his work. Li Siming first selected several assistants, Xu Dashuai, Zhang Hua, and Yuan Hou were naturally the first choice. Xu Dashuai was tall and handsome, with a good voice, and Li Siming had experienced it and had been identified as the male lead by Xu Dashuai. Zhang Hua was not good at singing, but his poetry recitation was good, so he should be competent for arranging him as a narrator. Yuan Houren is more clever and became director Li Dashuai's assistant.

The first day of work was of course to understand the talents of all the educated youth in the fifth company. Fortunately, all the educated youth were very enthusiastic. I heard that they were going to perform in the whole troupe, so they flocked to the conference room early in the morning. Li Siming sat in the conference room with a cup of boiled water. Yuan Hou called in one by one according to the list for the assessment, just like the art school exam in later generations. The assessment was very simple, just to perform a paragraph, sing, dance, perform a drama, etc. In short, he would perform whatever he could.

The songs are of course composed of the Red Guards songs, quotations and hymns, which constitute the melody of the times. Although the "left" is a mess, many works are still sincere and touching. The most representative one should be said to be this song: "The colorful lights illuminate the blue sea, and the happy news of happiness spread throughout the sea. When the navy soldiers met Chairman Mao, the red hearts bloomed to you like sunflowers..." The educated youth sang very seriously, devotedly and simple. In a sense, this is the so-called art.

After the deputy commander fell off the plane, China gained a brief vitality. Although the song creation did not reverse the general direction of "left", a number of excellent works began to appear, the most typical ones were "Ode to Beijing" and a rare artistic song for the soprano of the flower-arctic soprano: "The Iron Tree of Thousand Years Blooming", in addition, there are "The Bridge Worker Misses Chairman Mao", "I Love This Blue Ocean", "I Love Wuzhi Mountain, I Love Wanquan River", and "Leave a Shadow in front of Tiananmen Gate"... The beautiful MM who was not in the same way as Li Siming sang a song "The Iron Tree of Thousand Years Blooming". Li Siming now knows that her name is Yang Yue.

In terms of dance, because all folk dance arts were thrown into the cold palace and were labeled as "Four Olds", traditional art forms were banned, and replaced by something that is difficult for people today to believe in. "Rebel Dance" and "Loyal Dance".

"Rebel Dance" appeared with the phenomenon of "Red Guards" in contemporary political life. Since no one had made a record of that chaotic era, no one knew when and who "rebel Dance" was "invented". Some people said that it originated from the hands of literary and artistic enthusiasts in a middle school in Beijing. In order to promote their opinions to the public, students who participated in the "revolution" used the form of a "propaganda team" to sing and danced in the streets and alleys. The "rebel Dance" sang and "rebel Dance" together with "rebel Dance" can be said to be a meritorious

Virtue is perfect. This dance did sweep across the country at the beginning of "*". Several basic movements are: chest-up and fist-raising, tower-up-up-top-up style, arms-raising, fists-cranking, elbow-raising, squeezing, sniffing, hands-raising, heart-wrenching, lunge-holding, lunge-holding, kicking, kicking, kicking. These eight basic movements were later nicknamed "Eight Majors", which affected the dance performance method for almost 10 years, and even reached the level of not knowing how to dance without "Eight Majors".

"The Legend of Loyal Dance" is a popular dance that became popular after the rebellious dance, and it almost reached the point where everyone must dance. It originated from the "Andai Dance" in Inner Mongolia, and perhaps also the invention of the Red Guards of Inner Mongolia. When dancing, the dancers had to hold a red silk scarf and sang yells like "Beloved..." and danced while singing. In that ignorant and absurd era, people who danced the "Leisure Dance" could be seen everywhere every morning. When students came to school to class, they had to dance a "Leisure Dance" first to start the course of the day.

The performances of the educated youth made Li Siming laugh, but he still resisted the urge to suck people.

However, there are also aspects that make Li Siming's eyes shine. Yang Zirong, an educated youth from Chenyang, went deep into the tiger's den, and performed it vividly. This is the most classic part of the movie "Taking the Tiger Mountain in Strategy" which was reproduced countless times at that time.

...

After a busy day, Li Siming finally confirmed the candidate. In fact, everyone was selected. The company commander said that this was a collective task for the entire company, and anyone had to participate. Those who had no talent were also inserted into the choir to be Mr. Nan Guo and Miss Nan Guo. Everyone was very happy. In the evening, Li Siming was busy writing all the music and songs needed for the opera. In fact, there were many songs. Li Siming couldn't remember it clearly and had to repair it with his own artistic cultivation. Li Siming was a little regretful and should not show off and take on such a big trouble. However, the lyrics "The Long March Group" written by General Xiao Hua, which was born in 1965 and "Ten Sends to the Red Army" by the Armed Police Art Troupe in 2006, were not a big problem. In order to innovate, of course, the latter was the main focus.

"Aming, tell you something." Yuan Hou said close to him. Everyone who is familiar calls Li Siming Aming, who is the youngest among these educated youths.

"What's the matter? You said, it's awkward." Li Siming didn't raise his head and focused on dealing with the manuscript paper.

"Look, can you give me a character? Who is our brother with whom?"

"No problem, I am the director, I have the final say. Let's play the role of the little Red Army soldier."

"Are there any lines?"

“Yes, of course.”

"What line?" Yuan Hou was very excited.

"Yes!" Li Siming quipped.

"Just one word!" Yuan Hou was quite hit. Everyone else couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Don't be unhappy, the other rows of comrades are still competing to perform."

"Then I'll act, you must not look for anyone else." Yuan Hou hurriedly agreed.

The next day, the crew officially rehearsed, the conference room was full of gatherings, the firewall was burning very hot, and the room was warm. The company commander and instructor were in charge, but they were actually here to supervise. The whole script was actually based on the large-scale chorus group "The Long March Group" that caused a sensation in the country at that time. This was a large vocal set written by General Xiao Hua himself. It was magnificent and profound. She depicted the most magnificent in human history with her profound and concise vocabulary, fresh and moving graceful tunes, rich national style and performing art forms that are popular among the masses. Great Transfer. It is known as an important work of milestone significance in the history of choruses in my country, and was selected as one of the classic Chinese music works of the 20th century. The original drama has nine chorus re-creations, here, Li Siming made a bold artistic re-creation. The whole drama is divided into the entire concert consisting of the overture, the first movement "Ten Sending the Red Army", the second movement "Sparks the Fire", the third movement "Rare Years", the fourth movement "Red Flag" and the ending, which consists of six major structures, accompanied by the narration throughout the play, a small number of elements of dance and drama.

Li Siming first conveyed the content and ideas of the entire opera to everyone, so that everyone could understand their role and what they needed to express. The male lead Xu Dashuai and the female lead Yang Yue came to him, first taught them the songs they sang, and then asked them to teach others. After spending half a day, he finally got rid of at least half of the task.
