Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

You Fengxia was shocked, and so was everyone!

Especially the swinging singing style of "Praise of Red Plum" and the Jiangnan Tanhuang tune, they had never heard of this kind of fusion singing style (in that era).

The same is true for "On the Golden Mountain in Beijing". In the first half, Xu Damao deliberately imitated the poor Mandarin and the rustic feeling of the Tibetan accent. He did not deliberately use any heavy bass or singing techniques. Everyone felt it was very "rustic" as soon as he opened his mouth... and in the second half, he suddenly switched to singing in Tibetan - the bilingual effect immediately raised the grade and level!

According to Xu Damao, these two songs are the combination of folk, ethnic and popular in this era, and they beat all other songs in terms of concept, theme, background, technique, form and other aspects!

No matter which song You Fengxia chooses or what competition she participates in, she will be invincible. As the lyricist and composer, there is nothing wrong with her winning an award, right?

Anyway, there is nothing else to do now, so getting more certificates and awards is equivalent to stacking buffs on yourself. It is fun and beneficial, so why not do it?

You Fengxia was silent for a long time, no one knew what she was thinking, and finally she suddenly asked a question.

"You are so talented, why don't you go to college?"

"I heard that you have a very good memory and can remember everything you see. It shouldn't be difficult for you to get into college, right?"

"I graduated from the Central Academy of Drama. If you need, I can recommend you to my teacher."

"If you want to have greater development in music, I recommend you to study alto. It's a pity if you don't go to university."

Xu Damao suddenly felt speechless. Even if I wanted to go to school, I would have to aim for the Beijing Film Academy, the Central Academy of Fine Arts, or the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts.

I went to Beijing Film Academy because I was a projectionist, so I was barely able to get in.

The reason I chose CAFA and the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts is that I graduated from three majors in digital media art. If I could get into these two schools, it would be a dream come true.

What's the point of me going to the National Academy of Drama or the Conservatory of Music?

Xu Damao didn't know how to refuse You Fengxia. After all, she was doing it for his own good, and her father was a big boss in the military region. With his own abilities, if she asked someone to recommend him, it might really work out.

but--

"If I don't go to college, will it affect my ability to ride a 28-inch bicycle with one hand and go to the countryside to show movies?"

"what?"

"I say, if I don't go to college, will it affect my ability to ride a 28-inch bicycle with one hand and go to the countryside to show movies?"

What's the problem? Everyone's system is down!

"It should... not have any impact..." You Fengxia said awkwardly.

Xu Damao shook his head and said jokingly, "Look, it doesn't affect what I like to do most, and I'm already a cadre now. It's just like graduating from college. I still have to be supervised by teachers for a few years——"

"Then why am I still studying at university?"

"I get my cadre salary in advance, and I am free to do what I like. I can also write songs when I have nothing to do. Isn't it great?"

Originally Li Huaide wanted to persuade Xu Damao, but after hearing what Xu Damao said, it made sense.

你大学生毕业来了也只是行政23级（5级办事员）工资49.5，转正也才行政22级（4级办事员）工资56。

Xu Damao is now a cadre, at administrative level 17 (deputy section level) with a salary of 99.

If that's the case, why go to college?

Looking at Xu Damao's current work and life status, which is very leisurely and comfortable, and then looking at himself working hard every day to prepare various supplies, Li Huaide suddenly felt envious and jealous!

This Xu Damao is in Versailles! It is the Versailles he mentioned before!

Li Huaide was secretly thinking that he must find something for Xu Damao to do and make things difficult for him!

We can't let him be so comfortable!

But he didn't have any plans yet, and today was not the time to talk about these things.

Xu Damao said to You Fengxia, "Okay, let's not talk about my business anymore. You can choose whatever you want. Also, can I ask you, why do you want the song? Is there any competition or performance?"

Then, You Fengxia's next words shocked everyone. Xu Damao's legs went weak and he almost slipped under the chair.

"In May, the second military art performance will be held. In late September, there will be various art performances. In October, the Great Hall will hold a music, dance and Peking opera evening to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the National Day."

"Each unit is submitting a program. If you are selected, you can perform at the Great Hall. Don't you, the steel mill, know this?"

Xu Damao then remembered that the Great Hall of the People was being built in three shifts. This year, 59, marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and National Day is the first time the Great Hall has been put into use. Last year, Xu Damao had seen relevant documents in the newspaper materials of the Propaganda Department.

In September 58, there was a symposium on literary and artistic creation, which focused on discussing the literary and artistic work of that year and the literary and artistic creation tasks in preparation for the 9th anniversary of the National Day.

There were some slogans and slogans on the newspapers and walls at that time, which Xu Damao couldn't help laughing when he saw them now.

It is required that literary and artistic creation should “launch satellites in every field, in every place, and at every level”.

"Surpass Lu Xun in two years", "Write 60 scripts in one night", "Every county must have a Guo Moruo", etc.

There were some new folk songs with particularly interesting lyrics back then:

Niulang and I had agreed early on that I would work in a spinning mill while he would learn to drive a tractor.

When the Dragon King saw this, he became even more worried and decided to retire to his hometown. He mobilized all his enthusiasm and decided to keep him in the community.

……

Anyway, this is the characteristic of the times. Xu Damao thinks it is very interesting, but fun is fun. This year, the tribute to the 10th anniversary of the National Day will have to be inspected and accepted!

You Fengxia wants to go there to sing and perform!

This girl is so damn ambitious!

Xu Damao is really a little weak-kneed. It would be fine if you could win some award in the department, or participate in some large-scale competition. The quality of our songs is guaranteed!

But can you hold on in that situation?

Xu Damao was upset, he felt that this was not something he could get involved in. So he let You Fengxia choose the song herself, and he had to go out for some fresh air.

My mind is in a mess!
