The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 126 Yu Tu and Li Tian’s shock
Li Tian has returned to the capital and returned to Yu Tu's staff.

As he said at the beginning, he felt that he might not be suitable to accept other people's bands.

Regardless of his personality or other reasons, he could never start from the middle.

Therefore, he returned to the capital and returned to Yu Tu.

He stood in front of Yu Tu, nodded slightly cautiously, then moved the chair in front of Yu Tu, sat down, and spoke softly to Yu Tu.

"Teacher Yu Tu, I already know about the Nine Schools League. Is there anything you need me to do?"

"There's nothing you need to do. You just need to help me rehearse with the orchestra. There's nothing else."

Yu Tu looked at Li Tian with a smile, and then asked Li Tian with a slightly curious tone.

"Li Tian, ​​what kind of person do you think... Chen Qiu is?"

"Chen Qiu?"

Li Tian didn't expect that Yu Tu would ask him questions about Chen Qiu, so he thought a little and answered hesitantly.

"Chen Qiu is a very talented person who can turn this talent into strength. If he is given enough time and his orchestra is given enough fresh blood, maybe he can be a new generation conductor. It takes the band to a very high level.”

Yu Tu was noncommittal and continued to ask: "So, what kind of ranking do you think Chen Qiu's current orchestra can achieve in Haicheng?"

"Over there in Haicheng?"

Li Tian thought for a while, compared the students of Haicheng Conservatory of Music with the Haicheng Symphony Radio Orchestra he had led before, and added variables like Chen Qiu, and spoke with a slight hesitation.

"I think they should be able to reach the top fifteen level, probably tenth place."

"Well, it seems that you know Haiyin quite well."

Yu Tu nodded with a smile, then turned the magazine on the table, pushed it towards Li Tian, ​​and smiled at him.

"Yes, your guess on Haiyin's performance is very close, but it is still not accurate enough. This is the score given by the Music Association for all orchestras this year. The score here in Beijing has not changed much. Even the comments have not changed much. The national rankings The same is true, the most important thing for you is to check out the rankings in Haicheng."

"The ranking of Haicheng Conservatory of Music?"

Li Tian was stunned, took the magazine and began to read it seriously.

His expression changed from shock at the beginning, to doubt, to hesitation, and then to confusion.

The expression changes extremely quickly.

He looked at the magazine in his hand and never imagined that this year the Haiyin Harmony Symphony Orchestra would still be ranked eighth.

And this eighth place is not the obviously inflated rating last year. Even the editorial department said it was a bit high.

Not only did Haiyin's ranking remain unchanged, its ratings were actually much higher than last year.

This is a little scary.

Li Tian looked at the magazine in his hand and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He reorganized his words several times, then looked at Yu Tu with a slightly unspeakable expression and whispered to him.

"Haiyin, have you become so strong?"

"Well, Haiyin has been strengthened after you left. Chen Qiu led his second group to merge with the first group you led before, forming a stronger orchestra. The merger of the orchestras did not have any special impact on the orchestra. The big influences are actually well integrated, which is probably the main reason why the band was able to achieve such high scores.”

Yu Tu turned his chair half a circle, looked at the window behind him, and said casually.

"Chen Qiu should have been given a lot of conducting points, but the orchestra's score is actually not as strong as it seems. If Chen Qiu is asked to conduct an orchestra with decent scores, he should be able to make this orchestra enter the top five in Haicheng. As for the top three, it basically depends on luck. If you are lucky and perform well, if you enter the top three and then the top fifty in the country, there should be no problem. What do you think? Li Tian?"

"I think?"

Li Tian didn't expect that Yu Tu would ask him, so he thought about it hesitantly and whispered.

"I think he's more than that."

"Huh? More than that?"

Yu Tu turned his chair back and looked at Li Tian, ​​with a little curiosity in his eyes.

In his memory, Li Tian never said a word "no" to himself, or even refuted his point of view.

Unexpectedly, he would refute himself on Chen Qiu's question today?
Therefore, he smiled slightly, looked at Li Tian with an encouraging look, and asked with a smile.

"So, what level do you think Chen Qiu would be able to reach if he led a normal professional orchestra now?"

"Top three in Haicheng!"

Li Tian said directly without any hesitation this time.

He explained to Yu Tu.

"The Haiyin Harmony Symphony Orchestra in the hands of Chen Qiu, according to my understanding, their level is about 13 in Haicheng, up to 11 at most, but because of the addition of Chen Qiu, I gave him a high score A lot, but I only gave it 10, but now Chen Qiu can reach 8, which means that Chen Qiu is not actually as strong as we imagined.

If Chen Qiu is given a normal team, a top five orchestra in Haicheng, such as the Symphony Radio Orchestra, and Chen Qiu's conductor, they can definitely reach the top three, or even be more radical. Chen Qiu There is no problem for Qiu to reach the top two. Nationwide, he can also reach the top twenty, or even the top ten!

But there shouldn’t be much hope for him to be number one in Haicheng. After all, Zhao Yi is actually a very powerful genius..."

At the end of the sentence, Li Tian's expression obviously changed.

He thought of Zhao Yi's performance he had heard before, and compared the conducting levels of Chen Qiu and Zhao Yi. After thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head hesitantly and affirmed.

"Well, there should be no way to win. Chen Qiu's conductor has a very strong European style, especially a German feeling. The musical expression he gives is also more precise and reduces movements. This kind of conducting method is actually very demanding on the orchestra's level.

Unless Chen Qiu can change the band and lead Wang Hai's band, Chen Qiu will have no chance to compete for the number one position in Haicheng. "

"Oh? Such a high evaluation? So you mean, Chen Qiu's commanding ability is stronger than Wang Hai? Can he be equal to Zhao Yi?"

"I think... Chen Qiu and Wang Hai should have their own merits."

After Li Tian thought for a moment, he gave a definite answer.

"Wang Hai has conducted too many performances, so he is actually more tactful. He knows how to lead an orchestra. He can also get along well with the orchestra and bring out the orchestra's full strength. But Chen Qiu doesn't Similarly, he conducts less often. In other words, Wang Hai has performed more times than Chen Qiu has rehearsed and performed combined. Therefore, Chen Qiu may not be as good as Wang Hai in adapting to the styles of various orchestras, but simply discussing In terms of command ability, Chen Qiu should be better than Wang Hai!
But compared with Zhao Yi, I don’t know. Zhao Yi is also a very strong conductor. According to my understanding of Zhao Yi, he has been a conducting genius since he was a child. He went directly to America to study as an undergraduate and received a bachelor’s degree. He won many world-class awards, and then returned to China to serve as the conductor of the Haicheng Symphony, and single-handedly pushed the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra to the top in Haicheng and the top three in the country.

Chen Qiu has shown too little now, and I don’t know much about Chen Qiu, so I have no way to determine who is stronger between Chen Qiu and Zhao Yi, but what I can be sure of is that Chen Qiu is His talent and potential are no worse than Zhao Yi. "

"This evaluation is a bit high!"

Yu Tu looked at Li Tian with slight surprise, then raised his head and thought for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh.

"It's interesting, it's really interesting. It's getting more and more interesting that such a monster can appear in the Nine Schools League and completely disrupt the situation of the Nine Schools League."

"Teacher Yu Tu, you..."

Li Tian looked at Yu Tu, hesitant to speak.

"You called me here today, you don't just want to ask me about Chen Qiu, right? You just told me that you came to me today about the Nine Schools League and my former team members? But now it seems that we have been It hasn’t been mentioned yet.”

"Well, that's what happens next."

Yu Tu nodded, then turned the chair again, faced the window, and said casually. "I heard that Haicheng decided to let Chen Qiulai conduct Haiyin to participate in the nine-school league. It happened to be no different from what I guessed when I met Chen Qiu before, so I agreed to the request of the professor from the Central Conservatory of Music. This year I will return to serve as the conductor of the vocal orchestra of the Central Conservatory of Music."

"Teacher, you?"

Li Tian was stunned. He never thought that the teacher who had not participated in the Nine Schools League for a long time would actually decide to participate in the Nine Schools League again?
Normally speaking, the nine-school league is a bit of a minor competition for the professional arena. Yu Tu helped the Central Conservatory of Music establish an absolute lead at the beginning and then gradually gave up.

But this year when he actually has the upper hand at the Central Conservatory of Music, he still wants to come over to participate in the student competition?

It's like the National University Games, and then a group of Olympic champions come over to compete.

It seems a little bit cheating.

But he soon realized it. Yu Tu called him over and asked him about Chen Qiu and why.

Therefore, he looked at his teacher with some hesitation and asked in a low voice.

"Are you...doing it for Chen Qiu?"

"Well, it's for Chen Qiu!"

Yu Tu turned his back to Li Tian, ​​and the corners of his mouth gradually raised, revealing an unconcealable smile.

He smiled slowly towards the window.

"He is really an interesting genius. I have never seen such a genius. His ears are so powerful that his understanding of music is so sophisticated that one would doubt his age. If you don't go From what he said, it was hard to believe that the music performed by that kind of orchestra was actually performed by a student.

Interesting, really interesting!
I have followed Chen Qiu since he was in the national competition. I never expected that he would continue to grow after the national competition and grow to this point. It is really shocking.

It is precisely because of this that I want to see Chen Qiu's limit more and more.

The repertoire played in the Nine Schools League is not particularly difficult. Most of the works are simple classical and romantic period works, which places more emphasis on the conductor's understanding of music.

I wanted to see how deeply he understood music, the art of conducting, and the orchestra.

Maybe, he might actually be able to start a new band in the future and reach Zhao Yi's position or even my position before I retire and leave.

Just thinking about how he might threaten my position in the future gives me goosebumps.

Maybe he can really stir up this muddy water. "

Yu Tu turned his chair around, stood up and walked to the bookshelf next to him, where he got some documents, then threw them to Li Tian and spoke to him calmly.

“Go ahead, gather all the members of your previous orchestra, and then take them to the Central Conservatory of Music, then insert these people and bring the people from the Central Conservatory of Music to rehearse.

You don’t have the ability to directly take over an orchestra from the middle, so insert all your subordinates into it, build the skeleton of your music, and then let those students become the flesh and blood of your music, filling in the gaps between the skeletons. How to do this specifically? , you shouldn’t need me to teach you, right? "

"Well, no need, but..."

Li Tian sorted out the documents thrown on him one by one, and then asked Yu Tu in a low voice.

"But Teacher Yu Tu, are you sure it is me who is commanding you? Didn't you just say that you planned to go directly to face Chen Qiu to see what his specific strength is?"

"Well, you're right, but I don't have time to focus on boring rehearsals. Student orchestras spend a lot of time rehearsing, and they can't learn many details of the music before rehearsing like professional orchestras. Do it well, and my time is precious, and I don’t have time to waste in that place with that group of students, rehearsing some irrelevant details, so..."

Yu Tu looked at Li Tian and ordered slightly coldly.

"You take your people to rehearsals, sort out the details of the music, and don't make too many mistakes. Then in the last few rehearsals I will come over to check. I hope I don't see that kind of fundamental mistakes appear in me. On top of the orchestra, you...understand?"

"Yes, I understand! I will go find my former orchestra members and let them enter the Central Conservatory of Music to help me rehearse."

"Now that you understand, then go there early and tell their teachers that you are from our Chinese Philharmonic. If there is any problem, ask them to come to me. Oh, by the way, remember to wipe away the traces of the previous conductor. , don't let them retain the habits of the previous commander. Now that you are back, you can't continue to act like you did in Haicheng before, and you have to demand yourself as a professional commander.

A good conductor will not allow other conductors to appear in his orchestra. You should understand this, don't be soft-hearted, don't be lazy because you think it's troublesome, and do it cleanly. "

After that, Yu Tu returned to his seat, turned his back to Li Tian, ​​and waved to him to leave.

When Li Tian saw Yu Tu's appearance, he nodded without any hesitation, picked up the documents on the table and left quickly.

When leaving, be extremely careful and carefully close the door quietly, making as little noise as possible.

Yu Tu, on the other hand, made no statement.

He just looked at the window in front of him in a daze, and finally smiled suddenly and said to himself.

"Chen Qiu, this person is really good! If he fails later, should I train him as my successor? Take Li Tian's place?"

"Well, it seems possible, but when Chen Qiu grows up, I may not be able to give him the position in time, and Li Tian may need to make an effort in the meantime."

"Li Tian is a very good young conductor with a lot of talent, but he is a bit soft-handed. He always seems not decisive enough in handling music, and there is a bit of sloppiness in it."

"Who among the younger generation is stronger than Li Tian?"

"There seem to be a few people, but they all prefer foreign countries and rarely develop domestically. I can't reuse them."

"So we still have to ask Li Tian..."

"And Li Tian's subsequent successor... should be decided by Li Tian himself, not me. It's a pity."

"If Li Tian acts as a middleman to connect me and Chen Qiu, I feel that the Huaguo Philharmonic can reach a higher level, which is a pity."

"So how should I deal with Chen Qiu during the Nine Schools League?"

"..."

Yu Tu was talking to himself, sorting out his thoughts.

The entire house was soundproofed, and no one could enter the house without his permission.

Therefore, no one knew about Yu Tu's quirk.

And the fact that Chen Qiu led his Haiyin Harmony Symphony Orchestra to the top eight in Haicheng also spread to other people's ears.

People who don't know Chen Qiu are basically just curious about what the performance of the Haiyin Harmony Orchestra is like.

But in the eyes of Chen Qiuren, the meaning of this is completely different.

Therefore, Chen Qiu received countless condolences from various places in the next few days.

From Haicheng, to Beijing, and then to Hangzhou.

For the first time, Chen Qiu realized that he actually had the contact information of so many people on his mobile phone, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

But it's okay.

Chen Qiu was not beguiled by such an honor. He remained silent and continued to exercise his command skills.

After all, the school has begun its winter vacation, and Chen Qiu has no choice but to let everyone in the orchestra go back to celebrate the New Year.

Therefore, he can only train himself by himself.

However, during Chen Qiu's daily training, a piece of news came that surprised Chen Qiu.

Someone from Haicheng Radio and Television Station found him and invited him to be the conductor of the Haicheng Radio Symphony Orchestra and conduct this year's Spring Festival Gala!
