Wen/Li Weihua

? Today's Municipal Drama Heritage Center, named after the success of the Changsha Flower Drum Opera (Xiangdong Luzi) heritage bid in earlier years, was also named the Municipal Arts Theater, which is actually the former Municipal Song and Dance Drama Troupe (hereinafter referred to as "Municipal Song"), the Flower Drum Opera Troupe into one.

? I was assigned to the "city song" as a student on August 20, 1996, together with the troupe of Zhuzhou Normal School at the time of the vast majority of students in the class of literature and art, as well as Hengyang Art School, Changde Art School and other schools graduated from nearly 30 graduates of various art professions. In these students, due to the limitations of the establishment at that time, the procedures for integration is divided into two batches, part of the students that year for the integration procedures, I was in the second batch in May 1998 into the organization.

This is the "city song" since 1959, since the establishment of the troupe, one of the few large-scale introduction of talent, which was then Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Comrade Xiao Yayu attaches great importance to, but also by the city's cultural director and the relevant departments of the strong support.

? (A) into the regiment

In order to make the new trainees have a good learning and living environment, the regiment has held many team meetings to discuss and discuss the management and education of the trainees after they enter the regiment and many other issues. First of all, to solve the accommodation of the cadets, adjusted by the regiment, a part of the cadets arranged to live in the silo (then office building), another part of the arrangements to live in the regiment beforehand reserved a small number of embryo housing suites, living in the silo of the cadets are two people a suite of cadets living in a suite of four to five people a set. In this way, the housing problem of the cadets has been successfully solved.

People to food for days, the next step is how to solve the problem of so many trainees three meals a day, then head of Comrade Kong Lingjie in the team meeting a hammer, in the regiment's financial resources are not generous, Je out of the special funds, recruited two workers, the cafeteria has been suspended for many years after simple repairs to resume operations, at first only a symbolic charge of trainees three dollars a meal, and then rose to five dollars a meal, the cost of meals, and then the cost of food. At first, it was only a token charge of three dollars a meal for the trainees, and then it was raised to five dollars. In the repair of the cafeteria at the same time, but also repaired many years out of use of the bathhouse, rehearsal space, public **** toilets and other infrastructure, from the overall point of view, although it is said that the living environment was a bit simple, but the students, after all, have a fixed place to live, three meals without worry.

In order to solve the daily management problems of the cadets, the regiment officially appointed band leader Deng Heping and dance instructor Mo Guangzhou two teachers were responsible for the management of our daily rehearsals and life in a long period of time with us to eat and live together, the two teachers can be said to be responsible, the management of our life and study of the board. At that time, the students have to sign in on time every morning, held a morning meeting, the two persons in charge of the work and study tasks were set up for the day, such as students have personal matters can not participate in the morning meeting must be asked to leave, was approved before the trip.

In the business learning, the troupe to all students arranged for the appropriate professional instructors, and encourage everyone to use their spare time to participate in a variety of business training, there is a long period of time, in the case of the troupe did not perform, the leadership in charge of the business, the troupe arranged for the senior teacher, organizing the students collective training on a regular basis: the theory of arts and culture, stage performances, the basic theory of music, and so on, and sometimes the troupe also invited some well-known figures to give a variety of city Sometimes the troupe also invited some famous people in the city to give various classes. Now that I think about it, the leadership of the regiment at the time for our growth, can be said to be painstaking.

The regiment had an unwritten rule: trainees as long as the premise does not affect the work, allowing everyone to do rewarding performances through proper channels to the nightclubs (dance halls) at the time; also acquiesced to do rewarding activities such as art teaching; the regiment of these humane decision-making for everyone to provide more opportunities for social practice and a greater space for the activities of the trainees to gradually integrate into society, laying a good social foundation.

(II) Military Training

? Less than a month after being assigned to the regiment, the regiment organized a one-week military training (referred to as writing training) for all the new cadets to an artillery regiment in Zhuzhou County.

During the military training period, food, housing, travel and other activities by the troops unified arrangements, from six o'clock in the morning get up until nine o'clock in the evening to go to sleep, the activities of the well-organized military training program: from the organization of housekeeping to the formation, formation training; from the study of the military salute to the rifle shooting; from the polite language to the code of conduct, it can be said that everything is not included.

Cadets in accordance with the instructor's unified deployment, one by one, rules and regulations of the drill, but in three days, a decent "new army of arts and culture", step by step, shouting a unified slogan, ushered in, the city in charge of the cultural front of the leadership of the personal review, while the leadership also made a passionate speech, one of the original words is: "I'm not sure if you're a good person, but I'm not sure if you're a good person. One of the original words is:...... three days to see, when scratching the eyes. Afterwards, a group photo was taken, for which the participants were highly encouraged.

? In the regimental leadership arrangements, but also in order to thank the leadership of the troops care, love, and the hard work of the instructors, in the last day of military training, the cadets to the troops of all the officers and soldiers presented a colorful cultural and artistic programs. The officers and soldiers were mesmerized by the wonderful performance on the stage and were impressed by the performance of the cadets. There is no such thing as an unending banquet, that night I was about to return to the regiment, at the moment of separation, the instructors and cadets are embracing each other, each tearful.

? To be honest, to be able to participate in this military training, but also a rare experience in my life, the army concept of life, to my later work, life really brought no small impact, this force rigorous style of dealing with the world, so that I essence, gas, God and other aspects of the quality of the promotion, so far unforgettable.

(C) small family

? In the regiment I a **** moved many times, from four people a suite, moved to two people a silo. In the move to a small single room, I have been working for the fourth year, and from then on finally have their own little world. In my small single room, at that time can be said to be penniless, not a decent jewelry, home appliances, the summer to the summer is very hot, so I can only cheek to parents to ask for money to buy a single cold air-conditioning, my bed, is borrowed from Mr. Shi Desong, tables and chairs are also some of the old comrades gift.

? Later, I borrowed some money from my friend Yonggui, added a second-hand color TV, and moved a pair of surround sound from the old house, and then by my overall careful arrangement, so I said goodbye to many years of living in groups. The first time I saw this, I was able to get a good look at my home, and I was able to get a good look at my home, and I was able to get a good look at my home, and I was able to get a good look at my home.

The regiment in order to let single workers in the cafeteria break can also do their own cooking, on the side of the rehearsal space to build a row of small rooms, as a public **** kitchen, first three or five good relations with buddies partnering to cook, and then due to the tastes of difficult to adjust, basically a set of manpower to do the cooking equipment, each individual partner, and now think of it to feel the fun, and now I'm frying the skills of that time practiced. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new car, and you'll be able to do that.

In the single dormitory I lived for seven years, collective life is wonderful, collective life is unforgettable, in this group for the days of home, I learned to live, learned to tolerate, and learned to understand, the seven years of song and dance troupe life, there are my wonderful memories, but also my life's wealth.

? (D) teaching

? After joining the organization, I got the troupe to give me the first financial salary is 218 yuan whole, the mood was very excited, came to Zhuzhou for many years, finally fixed, after the excitement is melancholy, because this salary is simply not enough for an adult to survive in the city, in a long period of time, every month is my parents to send money to me to subsidize their lives. Therefore, many of the students in the same batch of the regiment have abandoned the organization to find another way out, leaving the regiment, I am a rural household, there is no place to go, can only rely on the unit's gold standard, do a second career - art teaching.

The sky is the limit, at first I was in my alma mater (Zhuzhou Teacher's College) for the younger students, to carry out bamboo flute training. The first period, on the recruitment of a dozen students, so, I was with the art training bond, the students also more and more with more and more, more and more with the better, has been continued to the present. I still remember clearly, my first small class students, is the corps of the patriarch Zhao Minghua teacher recommended to me, Mr. Zhao is a warm-hearted person, his help to me, I still remember vividly.

(E) running

In the late 1990s, Zhuzhou's opera house culture was red hot, as a professional troupe of players, can have the opportunity to go to the opera house to run the field (go to the hole) at that time is also a very honorable thing, because I was young, life experience is shallow, it is difficult to have the opportunity to go to run the field to see the other comrades in the troupe, as a fish out of water in the opera house, show off, it's very I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

? Once, the troupe's gold-medal host Wang Yonggang teacher sick in hospital, I brought some fruit to visit, then Mr. Wang was very touched, think this young man is very understanding, Mr. Wang was discharged from the hospital, then recommended me to a well-known concert hall to do the performance guests. I was very happy and thanked Mr. Wang from the bottom of my heart for his kindness. In order to do a better job as a guest performer, I created my own set of unique and charming folk music ensemble. In this way, my concert hall performance career, traveled all over the Zhuzhou major concert hall, and lasted for ten years, has been to do concert hall culture decline.

(F) to the countryside

At that time the countryside performances, and now the biggest difference between the countryside performances is that there is a cooperative unit invited, the implementation of the way to sell tickets, the income earned and the proportion of business share, that is, commercial performances, according to the situation of the actors can get the corresponding performance costs, but the actors have to load their own car, unloading, loading, unloading, and it is very hard. Sometimes in order to save money, the actors themselves, sell food and cook, comrades ate their own cooking, extraordinarily happy, this performance experience, now the young actors is difficult to imagine.

? At that time, the performance is generally the form of literary evening, the program is also colorful, vocal, dance, instrumental, sketches, opera, etc., in the performance of a single performance, and multiple performances, sometimes a place to perform a number of consecutive performances, and some time to perform a change of a place, the most time a day performance of four, I remember that the longest one out of the performance of twenty-one days, the performance of dozens of shows more than one.

In some of the folk tough place performance, often encountered some do not buy tickets to the audience, in this case, in order to defend our dignity, our staff (actors) will often be with them in a physical conflict, the actor is also used to injury. Every time such a situation arises, the local police station to mediate, things to be able to end.

(VII) teacher

In the troupe, than their own older (generally more than five years old) comrades, are called teachers, in order to show respect, called also very kind, Tou and Mr. Lin is my reading Zhuzhou Normal flute teacher, but also after I entered the troupe, the organization assigned to me as a professional instructor, that is, commonly referred to as the master, has always been my extraordinarily respectful of the master, the two men respect each other as a guest, whether in school or in life.

Not only did he teach me the art of the bamboo flute, but he also taught me to be tolerant and friendly, and he gave me a lot of care and attention in my life, which made him a valuable person in my life.

In order to fulfill my career development, Mr. Master generally seldom played the bamboo flute after I entered the troupe, giving me the stage. In Zhuzhou City Musicians Association is about to set up a bamboo flute society, the master once again had recommended me to be elected president, when he learned the honorary president. Master is so noble, indifferent to fame and fortune, Mr. person, in the industry is also well known.
