Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1212 472. Yan Zhen's help! The countdown to Children's Day begins

Several children spent the whole morning guessing what the true identity of Teacher Yan was.
The final unified answer is - command.

Teacher Yan is also a conductor.

Otherwise, why would he take over the Book Man's symphony orchestra?
However, at lunch, Brother Xiaohu was shocked again.

Composing? !
Teacher Yan is actually a composer!
In order to welcome the new colleagues, Li An set up a simple table at noon.

Because everyone has work to do in the afternoon.

“I am very honored to join the Sigang family. I hope all the teachers will give me more advice in the future.”

"welcome!"

"welcome!"

They drank tea instead of wine and everyone drank it all.

After dinner, everyone returned to the store. Xiao Che and Wang Xiaohu went upstairs to practice the piano, while Lao Tang and others went to the conference room to prepare for tonight's live broadcast.

After being busy all morning, Li An finally had time to chat with Yan Zhen alone.

The two of them came to piano room No. 4 and sat down face to face. The scene was not awkward, and after the meal, everyone had become familiar with each other.

Of course, the prerequisite is the relationship with Fang Yongbo, so the two of them naturally trust each other.

Ang Lee: "This is the current situation. We have to prepare two performances at the same time. Time is very tight."

Yan Zhen: “Understood.”

Li An: "You should get familiar with it in the next two days. On Monday, you and I will go to Shipo Middle School. From now on, the work in Shipo will be handed over to you and Haitao."

Yan Zhen: "The order of the programs should be based on the program list?"

Ang Lee: "You decide. We only have one week. We must come up with the complete program flow before school is over next Friday, including the host's words and the order of the program. You will be the stage director, and everyone will listen to your instructions."

Yan Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Let Brother Tao take charge. I'll help him."

Li An waved his hand: "Don't worry and carry out your work. You only have one week. Just remember this."

Yan Zhen nodded: "Okay, An Ge."

Li An: "To be honest, if it weren't for you, I would have stayed with the Shipo performance until the end. This event is related to whether we can further cooperate with the school next semester."

Yan Zhen understood, "I'll try my best."

Li An: "It's not that complicated actually. I just said it when we were having dinner. The school only wants one thing: the children are happy."

Yan Zhen: "Will we use recording when the time comes?"

Ang Lee: "We will perform all the songs live, and we will do our best to ensure the quality of the program. There is no need to force it. It is enough as long as the process is complete. Any other questions?"

Yan Zhen: "No problem, Brother An, please take a look at the instrumentation I wrote."

Ang Lee laughed and said, "I won't watch it. Xiao Che said it was great. If she said it was great, then it must be excellent."

Yan Zhen also laughed when he heard this: "Xiao Che is really amazing, she has absolute pitch, right?"

Li An nodded: "How is Xiaohu?"

Yan Zhen confessed: "Xiaohu is very sensitive to scores. It can be seen that he has read a lot of scores. For his age, he can no longer be described as excellent. If he can persist in this way, he will definitely become a qualified conductor in the future."

Li An naturally felt relieved after hearing this, "He is just a little childish."

Yan Zhen: "After all, he is still a child, and he is already very good. This morning, I teased him and he was a little hostile to me. After we got to know each other, he knew that I didn't have breakfast, so he took the initiative to give me his breakfast. At that time, I thought this child was really good."

Li An nodded: "There is nothing wrong with this child's character. You should take care of him during the next period of time and try to give him more knowledge about composition."

Yan Zhen: "What major does he plan to choose?"

Li An: "Commander, he's going abroad soon, and I want him to gain more professional knowledge before he goes abroad."

Yan Zhen: "He's going abroad at such a young age? Where is he going?"

Li An: "Vienna, everyone knows about this, but normally no one would take the initiative to mention it to him."

Yan Zhen: "I understand, An Ge. I will pretend that I don't know. So what specific knowledge of composition can you teach him?"

Ang Lee: "Let him learn more about orchestration and enrich his inner hearing. He can recite the tonality and regular range of all the instruments in the symphony orchestra, which means he has a certain foundation."

Yan Zhen: "Tsk tsk, that's amazing."

Li An smiled and looked at the time. "I'm about to go to class. If you have any questions, we can talk about it later. The salary is what I said. Not to mention Bo Ge, just for the work you do, this salary is really not high."

"Also, our tuition fees are unified. I get the same as you do. Sister Yun will arrange a trial class for you tomorrow. You'll have students starting next week. I guess your class will be full by August. Anyway, it's definitely more comfortable here than over there."

Yan Zhen smiled: "It's more than comfortable. Anyway, I have decided to work hard to live here in my old age."

Li An then stood up and stretched out his right hand. The two shook hands, and Yan Zhen was officially hired.

While we were having dinner just now, Yan Zhen also talked about his work experience in Xishi.

Just as Ang Lee expected, the competition in the industry is too great and the opportunities are too few.

What matters to a commander is not only his qualifications, but more importantly his family background.

It has to be said that Yan Zhen still has some resources in Xishi. After all, his father is still in office, and Fang Yongbo recommends him.

But a new emperor appoints new ministers. After Fang Yongbo left, even if the new director of XJTU wanted to give face to Fang Yongbo, he would not give the position of assistant conductor to an outsider.

To the new director of XJTU, Yan Zhen is definitely an outsider.

Just like when Fang Yongbo returned to Chengdu and faced Kong Chao, who had a lot of relationship buffs on him, he tried his best to drive him out of the core position of the team.

The new director of XJTU agreed to Fang Yongbo's request, but only gave Yan Zhen a job as a stage manager with no chance to touch the stage.

In the end, Yan Zhen changed his internship unit after only two months, and his family used their connections to get him a position in a small orchestra under the subordinate folk music orchestra.

After leading a folk music band for two years, Yan Zhen had just accumulated a certain amount of work experience and was thinking about how to become a full-time employee, when suddenly a strong man with stronger connections showed up and squeezed him out again.

He was demoted from being the resident conductor to the assistant conductor, and there was no hope of becoming a full-time conductor, so he took the initiative to resign from the folk music orchestra.

From then on, he let himself go and did everything, running sales during the day, leading wild tours at night, promoting real estate, and selling insurance at the same time.

After a lot of trouble, Fang Yongbo finally called me back to Chengdu.

While eating, Ang Lee also learned a detail: Fang Yongbo was Yan Zhen’s conducting teacher.

Li An is not clear about many details at the moment, but he can boldly speculate on one thing: the real purpose of Yan Zhen’s return this time is probably to find new opportunities.

Sigang is definitely not an opportunity for the other party. Anyway, he doesn’t believe what Yan Zhen said about wanting to retire in Sigang.

Because Sigang is a piano classroom, not an orchestra.

Can Yan Zhen be content to be a piano teacher here for the rest of his life?
If Li An guessed correctly, Sigang is just a transition for Yan Zhen, and he will eventually have to join Rongai.

First, the current nominal deputy conductor of Rong Ai is Kong Chao, but Kong Chao has been banished to the cold palace. As long as Fang Yongbo is in office, it will be difficult for Kong Chao to return to the center of the stage.

Second, Fang Yongbo sent Yan Zhen to him and asked Yan Zhen to lead the Shu Ren Orchestra. The Shu Ren Orchestra is no longer just a school orchestra, it is one of the branches of the Rong Ai Youth Symphony Orchestra. In fact, it belongs to the Rongcheng Philharmonic Orchestra.

This means that Yan Zhen is currently serving as the resident conductor of a youth orchestra affiliated with Rong Ai.

Just like Kong Chao’s Children’s Palace branch and Qin Yong’s Blue Sky branch.

When the three companies compete next year, one of them will definitely win.

In other words, one of Kong Chao, Qin Yong and Yan Zhen will stand out.

Where to stand out?
Isn't Fang Yongbo currently in need of a deputy?
Li An believes that Yan Zhen will become Fang Yongbo's deputy in the future.

Because for Fang Yongbo, among these three people, Yan Zhen is the one who is close to him.

After thinking this through, Li An couldn't come to a conclusion. Yan Zhen's coming to Sigang was just a transition and a copy.

But this didn't matter to Lin. He was lacking such a commander right now, and Yan Zhen's arrival just filled the vacancy of the four steels.

It can be said that everyone gets what they need.

It's just a pity for Qin Yong. In fact, Li An has always hoped that Qin Yong would have the opportunity to step onto the stage of Rong Ai. He believes that Qin Yong has the ability to do so.

Besides, doesn't Qin Yong have this idea?
Which conductor does not desire to have a real conductor identity and a professional stage of his own?

Hey.

Now it seems that the script of a hunk falling from the sky is going to be played out on Qin Yong again?
Of course, the above is just Ang Lee’s bold guess.

We will know what will happen when the time comes.
-
After finishing the afternoon class, Li An took the car home.

The people in the car on the road kept saying how great Teacher Yan was.

"Linlin, you should also learn how to compose music with Teacher Yan."

"what?"

"Are you interested?"

"Ok!"

"If you're interested, I'll arrange it for you two. You can have one class every week from now on."

Ang Lee also has to make the best use of everything, right?

After sending the car off, Li An rushed home, had dinner with Lao Li in the evening, and then went out for a walk with Lao Li.

The father and son can be said to be living in their own world.

He kept shopping until after nine o'clock, and when he got home, Mr. Li was exhausted.

"Dad, go to bed early. I still have some work to do."

"Well, don't be too late."

"Uh-huh."

Well, it's usually perfunctory.

Ang Lee had no choice but to be perfunctory as he had not yet sorted out the theme of the book people's activities.

Now that Yan Zhen is overseeing the progress of Shipo, he can focus fully on the book man in the next week.

He already had a general idea of ​​how to organize a perfect outdoor performance for book lovers.

Just wait until Wednesday and Thursday to review all the programs.

In a blink of an eye, it was already half past one in the morning.

The weekend is over in a blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, a new week has begun.
-
On Monday afternoon, Li An brought Yan Zhen, Haitao, Zhang Miao and Fang Zheng to the lecture hall of Shipo Middle School.

Li An watched the entire rehearsal today and left all the work to Yan Zhen.

The result was just as he expected, perfect.

It can be clearly seen here that Yan Zhen, who has actual experience in leading a group, has far more control over the stage than Hai Tao and Zhang Miao.

With just a simple actor appearance segment, Yan Zhen can make the show more entertaining.

And it only took Yan Zhen two hours to complete all the program changes on stage.

They even choreographed and intertwined two completely independent programs, a solo dance and a modern group dance.

He looks like a stage director.

Ang Lee learned a lot off the stage.

No wonder Fang Yongbo values ​​him so much, this is his level.

When playing basketball with Fang Yongbo last night, Li An asked jokingly, he asked Fang Yongbo why he didn't bring Yan Zhen directly to Rong Ai.

Fang Yongbo also answered him in a joking tone, saying that this kid is still far from being good enough, and he should train with you for two years first.

Doesn't this clearly prove that Ang Lee's previous bold guess was correct?

"Teacher Li, is this Teacher Yan the director?" Principal Min asked.

Ang Lee: "He's not a director, but he can handle some similar work."

Principal Min: "Is he also a teacher there?"

Lee An: “Yes.”

Principal Min sighed: "Teacher Li's staff is really full of talented people."

Li An smiled and said, "You are too kind."

After a pause, he said, "Principal Min, I won't be here for the next few days. I'll leave this to Teacher Yan and Teacher Zhang. I'll send someone to arrange the objects next week, and then we plan to have consecutive rehearsals after school at noon on Wednesday and Thursday next week."

Principal Min: "Okay, okay, Mr. Li, please let me know if there is anything the school needs our cooperation."

Li An smiled and said, "I do have something I want to ask you. We have rehearsals next week, and the children have to wear their own costumes. I think we should let them wear their rehearsal costumes to school. It will only take two mornings."

Principal Min: "No problem, Director Guo, please make a note of it and notify each class in advance."

Director Guo: "Okay, Principal."

Ang Lee: "The main problem is that our backstage really doesn't have much privacy. Plus, they are natural, and we can't let them wear performance costumes in and out of school."

Principal Min: “Yes, yes.”

At this moment, Yan Zhen and Fang Zheng on the stage had a small disagreement about the positioning of the chorus program.

Fang Zheng felt that the horizontal and vertical standing positions were too rigid.

Yan Zhen believes that it is easier to get on and off the field if the players are arranged neatly.

"Brother Zheng, I understand what you mean, and I agree with you. The problem now is the process. How should we let the students go on stage? Should we let them go on stage in an orderly manner first, and then quickly change into a scattered formation? I'm afraid it will look a bit chaotic off the stage."

Fang Zheng was also troubled by this problem: whether he wanted the overall process effect of the performance or the individual effect of a single program.

Yan Zhen looked up again and said, "Hey, actually all we need is a curtain."

Fang Zheng: “That’s exactly what I said.”

Xiao Che was also anxiously listening to this. At this time, Zhang Miao had an idea and ran off the stage.

Li An also noticed that there seemed to be a small problem on the stage and stood up to greet Zhang Miao.

"what happened?"

Zhang Miao quickly explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, Principal Min rushed to instruct Director Guo before Li An did, "Put up a curtain on the stage before Friday. For specific requirements, please refer to the suggestions of Teacher Yan and Teacher Fang."

Director Guo: "Okay, Principal."

Is it okay to have a wife?

Li An personally went on stage with the principal's guarantee.
-
On the way home, Xiaoche was happy that she didn't have to wear school uniform next Wednesday, when she saw the teacher answering the phone.

She quickly shut up.

"what?"

"Which show?"

"Just withdraw it, don't want this show anymore."

"Don't you understand me? I don't care who is in charge of this program. It's less than ten days away. Who has time to wait for her?"

"Withdraw."
