Entertaining Children

"Shoot!" the instructor ordered. W? W (i) W?. 81 ZW. COM

Xiao Yao took a deep breath and then held his breath. He held the body of the gun steadily with the movements demonstrated by the instructors just now, pressed his shoulders tightly against the butt of the gun, and aimed his eyes at the distant target with the principle of three points and one line. target, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" There was a gunshot, and a shock force hit his shoulder, and Xiao Yao felt a pain where his shoulder touched the butt of the gun. But Xiao Yao ignored the pain, and immediately raised his eyes to look at the target in the distance.

A black spot appeared on the target, and Xiao Yao, who was far away, couldn't tell how many rings it was. Anyway, there was still some distance from the bull's-eye, and the number of rings would not be too high. But just now when the instructor reported the grades of other students while waiting in line, most of them missed the target, and even all five shots missed the target. It is very rare to be able to hit the target with all five shots. Xiao Yao took the first shot Being able to hit the target is already a good start for himself.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Xiao Yao breathed steadily and fired three more shots. These three shots also hit the target, and from Xiao Yao's eyesight, the landing was getting closer and closer to the target.

Just as Xiao Yao was about to fire the fifth shot, he suddenly found a bird flying by in the shooting range. Since the bird just passed above Xiao Yao's target, there would be no safety issues in the direction. On a whim, Xiao Yao secretly adjusted the muzzle, aimed at the bird flying above the target, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" Xiao Yao aimed at the bird and fired the fifth shot, but saw the bird fly past the shooting range without stopping, obviously not being hit by Xiao Yao.

"Xiao Yao in the acting department, four rings, six rings, seven rings, seven rings, nine rings, five guns, a total of thirty-three rings." After Xiao Yao stood up, the reporter began to report the results loudly.

"What? This is okay too?" Xiao Yao stared in disbelief. The results of the first four shots were similar to what Xiao Yao estimated, but where did the last nine rings come from? My last shot was obviously to shoot a bird. The muzzle of the gun was deliberately raised so much, how could it fly to the target?

Then the results of a boy next to Xiao Yao were also reported. Out of the five shots, the first four shots were above the fourth ring, and only the last shot missed the target.

"Impossible?" the boy muttered in a low voice, "The first four shots hit the target, how could the last one miss? I obviously aimed very well."

"Brother, your last shot must have hit my target." Xiao Yao snickered in his heart, "Thank you very much!"

When the final statistical results came out, Xiao Yao's 33rd ring score was actually ranked in the top ten out of more than 200 people, and once again received a lot of envious and admiring eyes from the students, Xiao Yao silently thanked him in his heart The dude next to him who missed the target after some shooting.

After the shooting training was over, the entire training in the afternoon was also over. The instructors led the team away from the shooting range and went directly to the cafeteria.

"Sunset Xishan Hongxiafei, the soldiers shoot the target and return to the camp..." After coming out of the shooting range, under the leadership of the instructor, the students who had just finished shooting sang "Return from Target Shooting" loudly, singing along the way In the cafeteria.

Knowing that the training subject this afternoon is live ammunition shooting, during the break between training in the morning, the instructors and students asked Xiao Yao to sing the "Return from Target Shooting" that he sang yesterday with everyone again. The song and the melody are relatively simple, and the students basically learned it after singing along twice.

There are a lot of training grounds in the army, so a special field was designated for the students' military training, and there were only four teams of them in the entire field. There are not as many dining halls as there are training grounds, so they eat with other teams. When they walked into the cafeteria singing, they immediately attracted the attention of many other soldiers who were already eating in the cafeteria.

It has been five or six days since the students came to the military training, and it was the first time for the soldiers who often ate with them in this cafeteria to see the students in such high spirits. From the song they sang, we know that the reason for their excitement should be that they went to shooting training in the afternoon. For the students, they must be very excited to touch a real gun, but the song they sang...why it seems that there is no Heard of it?

"Xiao Yao!" As soon as the students entered the cafeteria, an officer wearing a straight military uniform instead of a training uniform stood at the door of the cafeteria and shouted loudly.

"Here!" Xiao Yao immediately ran to the officer with the rank of captain on the shoulder badge.

"Follow me to the regiment headquarters." The captain officer ordered.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao was a little baffled, but seeing that the captain had already turned around and led the way, he could only agree and followed.

"Report!" The captain officer directly took Xiao Yao to the door of the reception room of the regiment headquarters office building, and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" A voice came from inside. Xiao Yao recognized the voice of the leader.

The captain officer pushed open the door of the reception room, but did not go in. He only gestured to Xiao Yao to let him in, and after Xiao Yao walked in, he closed the door of the reception room behind him.

"Report!" Xiao Yao stepped in and shouted at attention. His eyes widened, and he found that the head of the regiment and political commissar Xie were both there, and there was a woman in her forties sitting on the sofa next to her in military uniform.

"Xiao Yao, this is the deputy head of our Army Art Troupe, a famous young singer, a national first-class actor, Comrade Zhao Lanying, you should know him?" Commissar Xie stood up and introduced the woman in military uniform next to Xiao Yao.

"Grow up!" Xiao Yao stood at attention and saluted.

Of course Xiao Yao knew Zhao Lanying, who was also a well-known singer in the entertainment circle, and he was often seen on TV, but he didn't know that she was an officer of the military art troupe because he had never seen her before. Seeing that the epaulets on her shoulders are the rank of a colonel, which is higher than the commander of this unit, Xiao Yao gave a military salute in a polite manner.

"You don't need to call me long, we are all in music, just be casual." Zhao Lanying waved her hand with a smile, stood up from the sofa, and stretched out her hand towards Xiao Yao, "I've heard of you for a long time. Name, the youngest winner of the "Golden Disc" award."

"Mr. Zhao? Hello!" Xiao Yao stretched out his hand to shake Zhao Lanying's hand, and addressed him carefully.

"Xiao Yao, we asked you to come here, mainly because Comrade Zhao Lanying wanted to see you." The group leader introduced.

"Sit down," Zhao Lanying let Xiao Yao sit on the sofa in the reception room, and said straight to the point, "I'm here this time because of your song."

"My song?" Xiao Yao suddenly said, "The ten songs I wrote to the head and political commissar yesterday? Which one do you like?"

"I'm interested...wait, ten?" Zhao Lanying said halfway, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Political Commissar Xie, "Old Xie, why did you give me five songs yesterday? Good old Xie, you Have you hidden half of it?"

"Uh... I originally wanted you to help our group choose suitable songs to perform in the condolence performance, so I first selected the ten songs given by Xiao Yao, and picked five out of them for you." Political Commissar Xie Sorry to say.

"You pick?" Zhao Lanying said dissatisfiedly, "Old Comrade Xie, you are a political commissar of the army, you are good at training and ideological work, but when it comes to music, what do you, a non-professional layman, pick? Excuse me, show me the other five songs."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, I'll go right away." Political Commissar Xie got up immediately, went to his office next door, brought a stack of music scores and handed them to Zhao Lanying.

"Xiao Yao, sit down for a while, and we'll talk after I finish watching these five songs." Zhao Lanying took the score, greeted Xiao Yao first, and then looked down at the score.

"Okay." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Xiao Yao, come drink some water." Political Commissar Xie got up and poured a glass of water and put it on the coffee table in front of Xiao Yao. Looking at Zhao Lanying's posture, they now see that Xiao Yao is not just an ordinary college student who came to military training.

"Thank you, political commissar." The flattered Xiao Yao hurriedly bowed.

"Xiao Yao, do you have any idea of ​​joining the army?" After reading the score in hand, Zhao Lanying asked Xiao Yao with a smile all over her face.

"Join the army?" Xiao Yao was stunned again, "Mr. Zhao, I'm a student of Shenxi now."

"No, you misunderstood me." Zhao Lanying smiled, "I'm not talking about joining the regular troops like Captain Zhang, but joining our art troupe."

"Actually, our army art troupe will also specially recruit some famous entertainers to join our team." Zhao Lanying continued, "For example, people like me, Zhou Haiyang, and Liu Weiye were specially recruited into the art troupe after entering the entertainment industry. Our art soldiers have no station and no training. We only need to participate in some performances every year as required, which will basically have no impact on your acting career and college life.

Your reputation is enough, but you are a little younger, so you are not suitable for special recruitment, but with the ten military songs you have produced, I am confident that we can persuade our art troupe to recruit you and directly promote you. At least start with the rank of lieutenant, major is also possible. Of course, they have no real power, but they can enjoy national benefits and allowances corresponding to their military ranks. "

"Nineteen-year-old captain or major?" Xiao Yao sounded a little silly, and then remembered some things from his previous life.

Although the specific rules and regulations are different, no matter in the previous life or in this world, there are many acting stars with military ranks, and they have also caused some controversy. It's just that before the rebirth, most civilian actors' military ranks have been canceled in the previous life, and they have been changed to technical ratings, and they only enjoy corresponding treatment. In this world, the military ranks given to art troupes still exist, and it is naturally not uncommon to recruit stars into art troupes and directly promote them.

It is true that you can gain a lot of benefits and convenience by joining the military art troupe and getting a military rank. But in Xiao Yao's eyes, such a soldier is not actually a real soldier. And in the previous life, Xiao Yao himself was one of the people who was dissatisfied with the fact that star singers and actors had those scary military ranks. How could he get into the military art troupe now? As for those benefits and conveniences, Xiao Yao really didn't think much of them.

"Thank you Teacher Zhao for your kindness, but I have no intention of joining the art troupe." Xiao Yao refused.

"Why?" Zhao Lanying asked curiously, "This is a rare opportunity. Not everyone can get it easily."

Sitting in front of him now is a star singer with a military rank. Of course, Xiao Yao couldn't express his true thoughts, so he could only use another reason: "The main reason is that soldiers are restricted from going abroad." Although it is not the main reason, but This item was indeed one of the reasons why Xiao Yao refused.

"It's just that the review procedures for soldiers are more complicated, and it's not that they are not completely forbidden to go abroad." Zhao Lanying said, "As long as it is a normal performance, they will not stop you on purpose."

"I didn't go abroad just to perform." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I was an exchange student in the United States for a year in high school. I have many friends in the United States, and my girlfriend is also studying in the United States now. I might have a whim I will go to the United States to visit them. And not only to the United States, I am also a photographer. I have been to many countries to do photography projects. Military registration, I have to go through complicated review procedures before leaving, maybe my vacation to see friends in the United States is long gone, and the photography projects I want to participate in are also over."

"What I want is the freedom to take a casual trip at any time." Xiao Yao said solemnly, "Therefore, I can only thank you for your kindness and apologize to you."

"Don't you need to discuss this kind of important life event with your parents?" Zhao Lanying couldn't say a reason to object to Xiao Yao, so she brought the topic to Xiao Yao's parents, "Although you are in military training now, you can use I contacted Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying on my mobile phone."

"No need." Xiao Yao continued shaking his head and said, "The major events in my life have always been decided by myself."

"Well, since that's the case, I won't force it." Zhao Lanying could only say helplessly, "But if you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. Now, let's talk about your ten songs. "

"Well, you just said which one did you like?" Xiao Yao followed Zhao Lanying and changed the subject.

"Ten are all my favorites." Zhao Lanying smiled and said, "I want them all."

"Ah?" Xiao Yao was a little surprised, "Although these ten songs are suitable for chorus singing in the army, if you sing solo, not all of them are suitable for you, right?"

"Of course I'm not representing myself. I'm purchasing these ten songs on behalf of our art troupe." Zhao Lanying said, "I'm not the only singer in our art troupe."

Zhao Lanying is a simple star singer with a military rank. She also has an official position as the deputy head of the Army Art Troupe, and she is also the leader and person in charge of the condolence performance in the army where Xiao Yao is training. This is also one of the reasons why she came to Xiao Yao, and the team leader and political commissar accompanied her all the time.

"Well then," Xiao Yao said, "Of course the authorship and ownership of these songs belong to me, but the performance copyright...these songs are all military songs, so as long as they are performed in the army or are related to the theme of the army For performance occasions, whether it is a commercial performance or not, and whether there is any profit, I will authorize all of them for free. Anyone can sing. Is it possible?" Although he refused to join the military, Xiao Yao did not want to have any enemies with the art troupe or the military system, so he simply refused Just generous.

"Are you serious?" Zhao Lanying said in surprise.

If Xiao Yao agrees to join the military, then this approach can also be understood as a favor to the organization. But if he did so when he obviously had no interest in joining the military, that would be a big favor. Although Xiao Yao said that anyone can sing for free in military-themed performances, but the lyrics and music scores of these songs are in her hands, and the singers of their art troupe who sing these songs publicly will naturally be the singers of their art troupe, even if they cannot stop others The singers in the art troupe sang the cover, and the title of the original singer of the song will definitely fall on the singers of their art troupe.

"Of course." Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "Although I don't want to join the military, I still admire the soldiers. This can be regarded as my respect for all soldiers."
