Chapter 448

"Shoot!" The instructor ordered.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Yao held his breath, holding the gun body steadily with the action just demonstrated and explained by the instructors, his shoulder firmly against the butt of the gun, his eyes aimed at the distant target with the principle of three points and one line, and then pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" A gunshot, a burst of anti shock force hit the shoulder, Xiao Yao felt the shoulder against the butt of the gun is a pain. But Xiao Yao couldn't take care of the pain and immediately looked up at the target in the distance.

There is a black spot on the target. Xiao Yao can't see which rings are far away. Anyway, there is still some distance from the center of the target, so the number of rings is not too high. But just now when I was waiting in line, when I heard the instructor report the results of other students, most of them missed the target. Even many of the five guns missed the target completely. It's very hard to get all the five guns on the target. Xiao Yao "goes to the League Headquarters with me." Said the captain.

"Yes Xiao Yao was puzzled, but seeing that the captain had turned to lead the way, he had to promise and keep up.

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

"Come in!" There's a voice coming from inside. Xiao Yao recognized that it was the leader's voice.

The captain opened the door of the meeting room, but didn't go in. He only made a sign to Xiao Yao to let him in, and after Xiao Yao went in, he took the door of the meeting room behind him.

"Report!" Xiao Yao stepped in and called at attention. With a quick look, I found that the commander and political commissar Xie were all there, and on the sofa next to them was a woman in her forties, wearing a military uniform.

"Xiao Yao, this is Comrade Zhao Lanying, deputy head of our army art troupe, famous young singer and national first-class actor. You should know him?" Commissar Xie stood up and introduced the woman in military uniform to Xiao Yao.

"Hello, chief!" Xiao Yao stood at attention and saluted.

Of course, Xiao Yao knows Zhao Lanying, who is also a famous singer in the entertainment circle. She is not uncommon on TV, but she has never met before. He doesn't know that she is an officer of the army's literary and Art Troupe. Looking at the epaulet on her shoulder is the rank of senior colonel, higher than the head of the army, Xiao Yao respectfully saluted.

"Don't call the chief. We are all musicians. Just feel free." Zhao Lanying waved her hand with a smile and stood up from the sofa. She held out her hand to Xiao Yao and said, "I've heard your name for a long time. I'm the youngest winner of the Golden Disc Award."

"Mr. Zhao? Hello Xiao Yao held out his hand and shook it with Zhao Lanying.

"Xiao Yao, we asked you to come here, mainly because Comrade Zhao Lanying wanted to see you." The head of the team said.

"Sit down," Zhao Lanying asked Xiao Yao to sit down on the sofa in the reception room and said straight to the point, "I'm here for your song."

"My song?" Xiao Yao suddenly said, "is that the ten songs I wrote to the regiment leader and political commissar yesterday? Which song do you like? "

"I like... Wait, ten songs?" In the middle of talking, Zhao Lanying suddenly stopped to look at political commissar Xie and said, "Lao Xie, why did you send me five songs yesterday? Well, you old Xie, you still hide half of it? "

"Er... I originally wanted you to help our troupe select a suitable song to perform in the condolence performance, so I chose five of the ten songs Xiao Yao gave you first." Political commissar Xie was embarrassed.

"What do you choose?" Zhao Lanying said discontentedly, "old Comrade Xie, you are a commissar of the army, you are good at training and ideological work, but when it comes to music, what can you do for a non professional layman? Please show me the other five songs. "

"Well, well, it's mine, not mine. I'll go now." Commissar Xie immediately got up, went to his office next door and brought a stack of music scores to Zhao Lanying.

"Xiao Yao, sit down for a while, and we'll talk about it when I finish watching these five songs." Zhao Lanying took the score and said hello to Xiao Yao first, then looked down at the score.

"All right." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Xiao Yao, come and drink water." Commissar Xie got up and poured a glass of water onto the tea 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 coming to military training.

"Thank you, political commissar." Xiao Yao, who is flattered, owes his way.

"Xiao Yao, do you have any idea of joining the army?" After reading the music score, Zhao Lanying asked Xiao Yao with a smile.

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

"No, you misunderstood me." Zhao Lanying said with a smile, "I don't mean to participate in the regular forces like commander Zhang, but to join our art troupe."

"In fact, our army Arts Troupe will recruit some famous performers to join our team." Zhao Lanying continued, "for example, I, Zhou Haiyang and Liu Weiye were recruited into the art troupe after they entered the performing arts circle. Our literary and art soldiers have no residence or training. They just need to participate in some performances as required every year, which has little impact on your acting career and college life.You are famous enough, but you are a little younger. Originally, you are not suitable for special recruitment. But with these ten military songs, I am confident to persuade our art troupe to recruit you and directly promote you. At least it is possible to start with the rank of Captain and major. Of course, it has no real power, but it can enjoy the national welfare and allowance corresponding to the military rank. "

"A nineteen year old captain or major?" Xiao Yao was a little silly when he heard this, and then he thought of some things in his previous life.

Although the specific rules and regulations are different, there are many performing stars with military ranks in both previous lives and the world, which also cause some disputes. Just before the rebirth, most of the civil service actors' military ranks had been canceled in previous lives and changed to technical ratings, only enjoying the corresponding treatment. In this world, the ranks of literary and art soldiers still exist, and it's not uncommon to recruit stars to the literary and Art Troupe and directly promote them.

It's really a lot of benefits and conveniences to join the army's Art Troupe and get a military rank. But in Xiao Yao's eyes, such soldiers are not really soldiers. Moreover, in his previous life, Xiao Yao himself was one of the people who was dissatisfied with the fact that star singers and actors were holding frightening military ranks. How could he go to the army's Art Troupe now? As for the benefits and conveniences, Xiao Yao didn't pay much attention to them.

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

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

Now sitting in front of him is a star singer with a military rank. Of course, Xiao Yao can't say what he really thinks. He can only say for another reason: "the main reason is that soldiers are limited to go abroad." Although it is not the main reason, this is one of the reasons why Xiao Yao refused.

"It's just that the vetting procedures of soldiers are more complicated, and they can't go abroad at all." Zhao Lanying said, "as long as it's a normal performance, it won't stop you intentionally."

"I'm not going abroad just to perform." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I was an exchange student in the United States for one year in high school. I have many friends in the United States, and my girlfriend is also studying in the United States now. I may go to the United States to see them when I have a whim. And not only to the United States, I'm also a photographer. I've been to many countries to do photography projects. If I meet a project I'm interested in, maybe I'll just pick up my bag and run away. If I become a military citizen and go through complicated examination procedures, maybe my vacation to visit my friends in the United States will be gone long ago, and all the photography projects I want to participate in will be over. "

"What I want is the freedom to take a walk at any time." Xiao Yao said solemnly, "therefore, I can only thank you for your kindness and say sorry to you."

"Don't you need to discuss with your parents about this kind of life event?" Zhao Lanying could not say why she was against Xiao Yao, so she brought the topic to Xiao Yao's parents. "Although you are in military training now, you can contact Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying on my mobile phone."

"No need." Xiao Yao continued to shake his head and said, "I've always been the master of my life."

"Well, in that 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, which song did you say you saw?" Xiao Yao followed Zhao Lanying to open the topic way.

"I've got all ten." Zhao Lanying smiles and the lion says, "I want everything."

"Ah?" Xiao Yao was a little surprised and said, "although these ten songs are suitable for chorus in the army, if you sing solo, not every capital is suitable for you, right?"

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

Zhao Lanying is just a star singer with a military rank. She also has a formal position as deputy head of the army art troupe. She is also the leader and person in charge of the condolence performance of Xiao Yao's military training institute. This is one of the reasons why she came to see Xiao Yao, and the chief and political commissar accompanied her all the way.

"Well," Xiao Yao said, "the right of signature and ownership of these songs are mine, of course, but the performance copyright... These songs are military songs, so as long as they are performed in the army or in the performance occasions related to the military theme, no matter whether they are commercial performances or not, I will license them for free. No matter who it is, you can sing it. Is that ok? " Although he refused to become a member of the military, Xiao Yao didn't want to have a bad relationship with the literary and Art Troupe or the military system, so he was just generous.

"Are you serious?" Zhao Lanying was surprised.

If Xiao Yao agrees to join the army, then this practice can also be understood as a show of affection to the organization. But he obviously did not have the slightest interest in joining the military, that is to send a big favor. Although Xiao Yao said that anyone can sing these songs for free in military themed performance occasions, the words and music scores of these songs are in her hands. Naturally, the singers of their art troupes will sing these songs publicly. Even if they can't stop the singers of other art troupes from singing, the title of the original singer of the songs will definitely fall on the singers of their art troupes."Of course." Xiao Yao nodded with a smile and said, "although I didn't want to join the military, I still admire the soldiers. This can be regarded as a little respect for all the soldiers."
