Chapter 359 Trouble with Russian Songs
Wu Jun asked Zhang Yu to write down the score for him and save it for practice in the next few days... This is a trivial matter for Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu picked up the pen and marked his arrangement and adaptation of each part on the score. At the same time, he also pointed out the importance of several key points, so that Wu Jun must remember it clearly.
Wu Jun discussed the score with Zhang Yu for a while, until he thoroughly understood all the details of the entire structure of the song. It was only then that he put down the big stone in his heart, and his expression became a lot easier. As long as I strengthen my practice a few days before departure, I will definitely be able to shock the audience in the Russian performance and sing the style of our Chinese army.
After everything was done, Wu Jun relaxed a lot and said with a smile, "Zhang Yu! You have helped me a lot this time. I must treat you to a good meal tonight!"
"You're welcome!" Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I didn't come! Actually, you did a good job. I didn't help you much!"
Wu Jun said: "Oh, you can't say that! This time without you, I really can't do it. It's not impossible for me to achieve your effect alone! But after all, a short time is too short. You don't know! Relevant leaders are very concerned about this. We attach great importance to this event. Although we are friendly with Russia on the surface, we are not so friendly in terms of performance. In fact, we must not be suppressed by the army. We must sing about our Chinese army. own momentum."
"That's true!" Zhang Yu nodded in agreement. After all, the big brother is no longer as brave as he used to be. Now the younger brother is the master. It is necessary to show a stronger performance in terms of performance.
At this time, Wang Mingqi hung up the phone and came over with a worried expression... Xu Qian said strangely, "Director Wang! What's the matter?"
Wu Jun and Zhang Yu, who were chatting, heard this and turned to look at Wang Mingqi with a sad face.
Wang Mingqi frowned and said: "The Russian program organizing committee just called! Aren't we reporting two songs this time? A victory march and a great journey. The great journey, the Belarusian Choir, has already reported to the organizing committee. already."
"No!" Wu Jun and Xu Qian were shocked when they heard this.
Zhang Yu saw that the atmosphere was a little weird, and said, "Can't we let Belarus change it!"
"That's right!" Xu Qian said with a displeased expression: "Belarus sings anything else and it's over! Grab a song with us! Aren't you fed up!"
Wang Mingqi said: "This time, it's really not that people are fighting with us! They reported the Belarusian program earlier than us. We reported it later, so according to common sense, we should let them."
Wu Junyi said with a worried look: "How can I do this!"
Xu Qian said, "What else can we do! We can only choose another one."
"That's right!" Zhang Yu interjected: "Just one song! If we don't sing this, let's sing something else. Which one won't work!"
Wu Jundao: "You don't know Zhang Yu! Rehearsal is very troublesome! What's more, the leaders also pay attention to it, unlike the usual small performances, you can't fool things. The most important thing is that this time, the accompaniment band is the band of the Russian Central Orchestra. , let's go and rehearse with the band. Change the song again, how to do the arrangement and harmonize again. Besides, the song needs to be re-familiar again! There are a lot of things involved, not so simple. ."
Xu Qian said: "Why don't you choose a song that everyone is familiar with! How about Katyusha. You don't need to be familiar with this song in advance.
How many times have our chorus sang. Simply arrange it! It was all over before the show. "
Wang Mingqi said, "Katyusha! The Latvian Choir sang!"
"Ah! Katyusha also sang." Xu Qian frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Then the 'night outside Moscow' will be at the head office?"
Wang Mingqi said, "The Estonian choir sings an evening outside of Moscow!"
"Why did you sing! Then what are we singing?" Xu Qian's speechless expression was terribly depressed.
Wu Jundao: "Actually, there are only a few famous songs from the former Soviet Union! It's nothing more than you sing and I sing. You can't blame others. By the way! What songs does the Russian Central Choir sing?"
Wang Mingqi said: "Moscow! The heart of the motherland! And... er... we will always be together."
Wu Jun was speechless when he heard this face, and said, "Then we have nothing left! All the Chinese songs of the former Soviet Union that I have heard have been sung. It seems that the next time there is such a performance, the program should be reported earlier. Even if you don’t sing, you have to take a seat first, and now that the rehearsal is over, you don’t have to sing.”
Wang Mingqi said: "What's the use of complaining about those now! The key is what are we going to sing?"
Zhang Yu said: "It's impossible for Russia to only have those few songs! Just pick another one and you're done. The former Soviet Union has been maintained for so many years, so are there only a few songs?"
Wu Jundao: "It's not a problem to choose songs! There are many songs from the former Soviet Union. But those songs are all Russian songs! We have not adapted many Chinese songs! To sing other people's Russian songs, in such a short time, we have to arrange harmony. , and the orchestration and arrangement, and the most important thing is to sing new songs in Russian, yours should be able to speak Russian! How could it be possible for such a short time and such a large team to learn Russian.”
Zhang Yu frowned and said, "Why don't we sing ours! Belarus sings Belarus. Everyone sings a song, no way!"
Wu Jundao: "You don't understand! Our choir is the largest in size, and even Russia is barely able to make up the size to match our size. Those choirs from small countries have only a few people. With such a large troupe, we can compete with small countries. Singing a song, isn't that an obvious bully! In terms of attitude, it's okay to be low-key, but it's too high-key, and the leaders can't let it go!"
Xu Qian and Wang Mingqi both shook their heads and smiled bitterly when they heard this, and they lost their minds at the same time.
"Uh..." Zhang Yu thought about it and said, "Hey... Can't you sing our own country's song! It's not so troublesome to sing Russian songs."
Wu Jundao: "That's even worse! It's not as simple as you think. This time we are going to Russia to participate in Russian activities! As a major foreign aid country, how can we not sing Russian songs. The leader said that we must choose one. , this is a hard indicator that cannot be changed.”
Zhang Yu said helplessly: "I'm speechless! You two are not good at all. This is not good, that is not good. Make up your own mind!"
When Wu Jun and the others heard this, they all shook their heads and smiled bitterly... But the anxiety under the smile was rising.
It was quiet for a while... Zhang Yu frowned when he saw several people with sad faces, thought about it, and said, "Hey! I have an idea. I'll write a Russian song for you! Can I do it!" (To be continued. )
