Chapter 327 Chapter 328 [Rewards for merit]
In November, the creative team was officially established.
?He Xiaoping, Hao Shuwen, and Xiao Suizi all joined the group.
“Liu Feng, you are so lucky, we have three beauties accompanying you.” Hao Shuwen joked with a smile.
"Come on, Xiaoping and Suizi are the beauties." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "You are the only one who is tall and has a haircut, you look more manly than me."
Hearing him hurt Hao Shuwen so much, Xiao Suizi and He Xiaoping almost died laughing. But they didn''t dare to laugh at Hao Shuwen, so they had to try their best to hold back their laughter, causing themselves to tremble in place, as if they were stepping on a switch.
"Liu Feng, you have ruined eight generations because of your lack of great virtue. Why am I not a beauty?" Hao Shuwen couldn''t help but feel ashamed and angry after being hurt by him, and she cursed bitterly.
"Okay, okay, let''s talk about work first." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Creation requires inspiration, and inspiration comes from accumulation. Only through accumulation can you make progress, so I suggest that you study more and read more books. "
"No, you still want to read and study?" Hao Shuwen pouted at Lao Gao when she heard this, "I thought we were going out to play."
"The creative team has just been established and we have to go out for fun. What will others think?" Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "It''s okay to go out for fun. At least we have to produce our works first to let people know that we don''t eat for free. When the time comes to apply to go out, no one will complain.”
“Hao Shuwen, what Liu Feng said makes sense. It’s enough to attract hatred if we join the creative team. If we go out to play so soon, many people will definitely not be happy.
When the time comes, public dissatisfaction will surge, and the political commissars will also have some scruples. If we cancel the creative team again, we will lose more than we gain. "Xiao Suizi also advised.
“Oh, you two are breathing out of the same nose.” Hao Shuwen said unhappily, “I didn’t know, I thought you two were having an affair.”
Hearing what she said, Xiao Suizi blushed with embarrassment, "Hao Shuwen, don''t talk nonsense."
"Okay, stop making trouble and read a book first." Xiang Nan advised, and then took Xiaoping to make up for the lessons.
Joined the creative team and no longer rehearsed every day. He had more time at his disposal, and he also had more time to teach Xiaoping.
…
"Liu Feng, I remember you were illiterate, didn''t you become literate after you came to the army? How come you still teach high school knowledge?" Xiao Suizi asked in surprise.
Xiang Nan taught Xiaoping trigonometric functions, which even she found very difficult. However, Xiang Nan teaches in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. He has obviously mastered this subject long ago.
But he, a person who came out of the military literacy class, can master such a profound subject, it is simply incredible!
"Yeah, I''m also wondering, these are still taught in literacy classes?" Hao Shuwen realized later that she didn''t even understand trigonometric functions, and she wondered how Xiang Nan knew it.
“Do you really think I graduated from the literacy class?” Xiang Nan looked at the two of them and smiled slightly, “Who doesn’t have a secret these days?”
Hao Shuwen and Xiao Suizi were stunned when they heard this.
Thinking about it more carefully, Liu Feng’s performance in the past six months is indeed amazing.
Writing songs and becoming famous throughout the country; writing and performing plays, which became popular throughout the military region. The achievements achieved are humbling.
??Moreover, when he speaks and acts, he is also calm, sophisticated, calm and confident. He is completely different from the honest country boy who had low self-esteem before.
?Now that they heard what he said, they suddenly understood.
Liu Feng''s previous image of the country boy was most likely a deliberate disguise, and he is the real him now. He is knowledgeable, talented, thoughtful, and calm.
They have heard that some high-ranking cadres were afraid of being attacked, so they deliberately concealed their identities and entered the barracks. I thought it was a legend before, but now it seems that it is obviously true.
“Liu Feng, who are you?” Hao Shuwen asked curiously.
"Don''t say it, don''t say it." Xiang Nan waved his hands and pretended to be mysterious, "Don''t ask around. Knowing too much may not be beneficial to you." Seeing that he was so secretive, Hao Shuwen and Xiao Suizi did not ask any more questions.
These days, curiosity really did kill the cat. Some secrets are better not known than known.
However, the two of them were more respectful to Xiang Nan from then on.
…
Half a month later, the creative team came up with a new song "I Stand Guard for the Great Motherland".
?The publication of this work has blocked many people''s opinions.
Because the creative team can sit in an office, daily rehearsals are eliminated, and time can be freely used. This is a very desirable benefit for all members of the art troupe. No one is envious.
?Envy breeds jealousy, and jealousy breeds hatred. Naturally, they criticized the creative team a lot.
?Especially after the creative team was established for more than ten days, not a single article or poem was written, which made everyone even more dissatisfied.
“It has been established for more than ten days, and there are no works at all. Is this a creative group? I think it is just a work-around group.”
“They are sitting in the office with academic officials, and we are so tired and sweating in the rehearsal field. It’s not fair at all!”
“She was said to be a talented man or a talented woman, but after so many days, there is no achievement at all. In my opinion, the creative team should cancel it as soon as possible to avoid wasting rice.”
Many people were gossiping in private and discussing things, which put the political commissar under a certain amount of pressure.
?Now, with this work, those people can be silenced.
“Okay, Liu Feng, I didn’t expect your creative team to be very efficient. The results were produced within half a month, and you have lived up to my trust.” The political commissar praised with a smile.
"Thank you, political commissar." Xiang Nan nodded, "It is indeed necessary to establish a creative team. Let us brainstorm and learn from each other''s strengths. This song was written by He Xiaoping and Xiao Suizi, and Hao Shuwen and I composed the music."
"Well, yes, unity is strength." The political commissar said with a smile, "We must concentrate our efforts to do big things. The establishment of a creative team is very necessary and helpful. Some people in our group don''t understand, say weird things, and get emotional. Now they can shut up."
“Yes, political commissar, facts speak louder than words.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
…
"I Stand Guard for the Great Motherland" was immediately designated by the political commissar as a New Year''s gift to the military region, so no time was lost for rehearsals.
With this work in mind, and the end of the year, the performance activities of the cultural troupe also increased significantly. In addition to condolences to the troops, they also had to perform for the citizens. In short, they were very busy.
In this way, the dissatisfaction with the creative team will be overshadowed.
At the end of the year, it is also the day when the troops discuss their merits and give rewards.
Xiang Nan, Xiao Suizi, and Hao Shuwen won the second-class collective merit issued by the military region for their drama "Model". Because Xiang Nan is the main creator and the leading actor, he also received third-class personal merit.
In addition, he and Xiaoping became famous throughout the country for their collaboration on "Border Spring Water is Clear and Pure", so both of them received the Second Class Medal of Merit.
Xiang Nan was promoted from the deputy company level to the deputy battalion level due to his outstanding achievements. The monthly salary increased by 17 yuan to 89 yuan.
As a result, Xiaoping was promoted from an ordinary warrior to a regular class. The salary has also been increased from eight yuan per month to thirty yuan.
