In order to prosper and strengthen the army's literature and art and serve the cultural work of the army, 50 grassroots literary and artistic backbones from different units have passed 60 days of intense study at the Air Force Service Academy, and have drawn a successful end to the 2023 Air Force field literary and artistic backbone training with an original chronicle ** narrative "Youth Blue".
The training adopts the method of joint teaching, and systematically learns from the five directions of vocal music, dance, quyi, post-production, and stage art, and guides and helps according to the characteristics of the students, so as to integrate theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Teaching in practice and moving the classroom to the stage is a major feature of the training course.
The mid-term test of the training is a collective creation of the People's Air Force Founding Day Gala, and the final examination is a collective completion of the original chronicle ** narrative "Youth Blue" report performance. From creative performances to lighting and sound, from stage decoration to post-production, 50 students are busy shuttling in front of and behind the scenes.
The stage is everyone's last "exam paper", and the time left for them is less than a month. Chen Yuxun, from a brigade of the Air Force's radar corps, majored in ** major during college, singing, instrumental music, and arrangement, as long as it is related to **, he can handle everything. And Chen Yuxun, who is good at **, was designated as a dancer by the head teacher in "Youth Blue", he admitted that his limbs were very uncoordinated, and dancing really stumped him. Zhao Chengcheng, who is also a dancer, majored in ** drama in college, singing, dancing, acting, everything, plus he is the class leader of this training class, and the heavy responsibility of helping Chen Yuxun naturally falls on his shoulders.
At first, I was about to break down, I couldn't learn the first time, I got half of it right the second time, and I got the other half wrong the third time. Zhao Chengcheng couldn't cry or laugh when he recalled. Letting students do "non-professional" things is the good intentions of the class teacher. The trainees of the training class came from all over the world, some of them were college students and soldiers who had graduated from professional art academies, and some were amateur literary and artistic backbones who had fought on the grassroots stage. Here, the former top dancers have to learn singing techniques, and the masters of the production have to try to walk from behind the scenes to the front of the stage to experience the feeling of standing in the spotlight. The purpose of this is to enable everyone to break through themselves, achieve one specialty and multiple abilities, and become a literary and artistic warrior who comes from the grassroots and can truly serve the grassroots.
Under the huge pressure of entering a new field, student Chen Yuxun worked overtime and practiced hard, almost every day to memorize hundreds of movements, Liu Qinghua, who is also a dancer, said: "When everyone is resting, Yttrium Xun has always practiced secretly in the corner, and his independent learning ability makes me admire it very much!."From the initial stage fright, making the wrong moves, to finally shining confidently on the stage, Chen Yuxun was full of emotion.
The stage is the battlefield, and the theater becomes the examination room. Participated in the creation of "Youth Blue", so that the students from the grassroots can learn and think. As one of the few female cadets, Zhang Zhuyu from the Southern Theater Air Force was selected by the company to participate in the training, and she also came with a mission. "The leader asked me to follow along and learn well, and I wanted to apply it in my daily work when I went back, and this problem bothered me for a while, because I didn't know what to learn, or what to bring back to the army. "It is not unreasonable for Zhang Zhuyu to have such confusion, it is already late to report, and she came with a task, Zhang Zhuyu did not mingle with her comrades at first, in the eyes of everyone, she was a girl who didn't like to talk. She has studied dance since she was a child, has a solid "child skills", and majored in dance during college, Zhang Zhuyu's life has been almost filled with dance for more than ten years.
Since most of the students in the training class have no dance foundation, Zhang Zhuyu often serves as a "little assistant teacher" with the class leader Zhao Chengcheng. Seeing that everyone's movements were uncoordinated, Zhang Zhuyu patiently explained the method and picked out the details to them. In the communication with everyone, she also slowly opened her heart, and everyone gradually saw Zhang Zhuyu's shining points. It was also in this process that the question that puzzled Zhang Zhuyu seemed to become clear. "The biggest takeaway from this period is that I know what is more suitable for the army, before I would bring in as a professional dancer, I just wanted to dance with everyone to do a good dance, but I ignored that many people actually have no foundation, or even have not learned dance. ”
The reality is indeed like this, and there are only a handful of grassroots troops like Zhang Zhuyu and Zhao Chengcheng who have received systematic training and have rich experience in performances. At the same time, Zhang Zhuyu also summarized the characteristics of grassroots literary and artistic works in the new era in the creation and rehearsal of "Youth Blue", and saw from the reaction of the audience what is the program that grassroots officers and soldiers love to watch. Zhang Zhuyu found the answer she wanted in this training on how to make field literature and art closer to the actual situation at the grassroots level, so that literary and artistic work can truly promote and enhance combat effectiveness without affecting the work of the center.
60 days is a long time, and the grassroots literary and artistic backbones from the whole Air Force have tempered themselves in course study, practical training, and report performancesSixty days is a short time, it remains in the correction of class assignments, it stops in front of the computer screen that is still lit at 4 o'clock in the morning, and it flows quietly ...... the students and instructors rehearse over and over again
The end of "Youth Blue" also means the end of this field literary and artistic training, and the literary and artistic backbones from all over the world have returned to their respective positions. They will use practical actions to polish the combat background of military literature and art, and use passion and blood to build the dream of strengthening the army. With their unremitting pursuit and hard work, the flower of literature and art will bloom more beautifully in the blue sky.
