The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 298 Long time no see, Chen Qiu is in command

Su Yue stood in Chen Qiu's command preparation room, looking around.

Nothing here has changed from before.

She is still the same as she was when she left.

But soon, Su Yue was amused by her own thoughts and a smile appeared on her face.

I have only been away for a short time, how could this place have changed so much?

Isn't it normal that there is no change in this place?
And Chen Qiu is not the kind of person who particularly likes change.

If her observation was correct, the clothes Chen Qiu wore were almost the same every time, all of the same style.

Chen Qiu seemed to have bought two or three pieces of this style of performance costumes and then wore them in turns.

The clothes Chen Qiu usually wears are similar.

They are all simple short-sleeved, long-sleeved, shorts and long pants.

There are no patterns or designs.

It's just a very simple piece of clothing.

Even the colors are pure black or pure white, there is no third different color.

Although Su Yue can often hear some changes in Chen Qiu's music, each performance has a completely different feeling.

But Chen Qiu's desires outside of music are really low.

Chen Qiu didn't care about any of the following: food, clothing, housing and transportation.

It would be strange if there were any changes in Chen Qiu's house, given that he has such low desires.

Su Yue looked around the room, nodded thoughtfully, and did not sit down directly. Instead, she walked to Chen Qiu's bookshelf and casually looked at the music scores on it.

The music scores placed on it are much denser than before.

Many of the music scores even have rough edges.

It looks like it is the result of being frequently read.

In addition to some classic symphonic works, there are also many popular works.

Chen Qiu also marked these popular works, and read and thought about them carefully.

There was not even a hint of negligence.

Everything is the same as before.

Chen Qiu's attitude towards music is still so serious and still so fascinating.

Su Yue thought of the performance by Chen Qiu that she had heard in the concert hall tonight. Her heart couldn't help but move, and she couldn't help but tighten the force on the clarinet in her hands.

The performance tonight was great.

It was similar to the Chen Qiu she had heard about before.

Even more mature than the Chen Qiu she had heard before.

It seems that Chen Qiu's strength has been further improved due to the liberation of the band members' strength.

Every performance touched her heart.

Obviously, there are many very strong symphony orchestras in Europe.

For example, Lübeck where she is.

When she was studying in Lübeck, she often went to concerts of the North German Symphony Orchestra next door.

Although the musicians and conductors of the North German Symphony Orchestra are extremely strong, even if calculated based on the average, each person's performance ability is far superior to that of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

But Su Yue didn't know why, but she felt that the performance of that group of people did not match her ideas.

There is some deviation from her understanding of music.

She even went to Berlin and listened to the Berlin Philharmonic and felt the same way.

Everyone has very strong abilities and the performances are all very good.

But it was not quite what she thought.

At one point she even wondered if there was something wrong with her understanding of music.

But after hearing the performance of Chen Qiu and the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, she finally confirmed one piece of information.

There was nothing wrong with those guys’ playing.

Those guys played really well, even standardly.

But her favorite interpretation is still Chen Qiu's.

Although Chen Qiu's interpretation may be a little young, compared with the conducting of those top conductors, many of his understandings are not particularly perfect.

But his imperfect expression fits perfectly with the symphony orchestra.

Let the symphony orchestra perform at its best with its 80 points of strength.

It can even go further.

Modify the interpretation direction of the entire orchestra based on the personality and characteristics of each orchestra member.

Let the music be the music of everyone in the orchestra, rather than just playing a scripted standard interpretation.

This is why Su Yue likes the Harmony Symphony Orchestra and Chen Qiu...'s performances.

Su Yue stretched out her slender fingers and placed them on the music scores in front of her, gently stroking the patterns on them and feeling the breath of Chen Qiu coming from them.

It was as if he was standing next to Chen Qiu at this moment, watching Chen Qiu reading by lamplight at night and analyzing the music score.

A smile could not help but appear on her calm face.

Chen Qiu, indeed, is still the same as before.

Nothing changes.

Huang Xin and Rui Jia looked at Su Yue stroking the music score and couldn't help but stare at each other.

The current atmosphere made them both unsure of what they should say at this moment.

Ruijia is fine, she is not a talkative person.

I often sit there alone, thinking about nothing, just staring blankly and thinking about music.

Therefore, the current situation is not something particularly distressing to her.

Huang Xin, on the other hand, didn't feel very well.

Compared with Rui Jia, Huang Xin is slightly more cheerful and outgoing.

She is the one who connects the communication between many girls in the entire orchestra.

She can basically be considered the big sister of the band.

Many girls are willing to listen to her.

Not only the girls, but some boys as well.

Although the probability is very small, if Qin Xian and Huang Xin were to go against each other, the majority of people would be willing to stand on Huang Xin's side.

After all, everyone prefers to stand on the side of their friends rather than their leaders.

Of course, if Qin Xian directly complained to Chen Qiu about anyone who did not stand on his side and then fired them all, that would be a different matter.

For this kind of person who is like the lubricant of the band, seeing the lounge so quiet is almost more painful than killing her.

She really didn't know how these two people made the atmosphere so awkward.

Therefore, Huang Xin's eyes rolled around, and he looked at the dazed Rui Jia and the thoughtful Su Yue, and spoke with a smile.

"Yueyue, how is it? Do you feel like you're back home? You can't feel this kind of atmosphere in a band abroad, right?"

"Um……"

Su Yue nodded lightly.

She removed her fingers from the spine of the music book, looked at Huang Xin and Ruijia, smiled slightly, and asked softly.

"Speaking of which, since I entered Lübeck in April, in the nearly half a year, has there been any changes in the orchestra?"

"Well, what can change? It's basically like that."

Huang Xin swung her legs with a smile and said to Su Yue while thinking.

"After you left, Yueyue, we removed some members who were also planning to leave, streamlined the number of people, and went to Japan to participate in the East Asian Exchange Competition. After casually winning a championship, we returned to Haicheng to prepare to establish an orchestra. Apart from driving away all the freshmen and sophomores, it seems that there is nothing else to do."

Huang Xin said so.

But after she finished speaking, Ruijia, who was sitting next to her and seemed a little reserved, raised her hand cautiously and whispered.

"Well, well... I'm also a sophomore."

"Yeah, yeah, of course I know you're a sophomore!"

Huang Xin turned around, reached out and pinched Rui Jia's little face, and spoke with a smile.

"But when you go to school, you will be a junior. Although it may not seem to make any difference, you should know that you are the principal double bass in the orchestra. Even if you are a freshman now, Chen Qiu will most likely not let you go! Do you understand, little Ruijia?"

"Woooooooo..."

Rui Jia's face was rubbed by Huang Xin so hard that she couldn't speak. She could only sit there and mutter something.

Looking at the two of them like this, Su Yue just chuckled and didn't say anything.

After all, they were like this before.

Half a year did not leave any particularly deep marks on them.

Huang Xin suddenly remembered something at this time and said to Su Yue.

"But then again, after Yueyue left, Chen Qiu made several consecutive staff reductions. Although he picked out the elites of the orchestra, a problem arose. The strings of the orchestra are now too strong. It is difficult for the woodwind and brass instruments of the orchestra to compete with the strings."

"Chen Qiu...didn't you solve it?"

Su Yue was stunned and asked softly.

Huang Xin shook her head.

"Chen Qiu has reserved your place on the clarinet, so we can't add anyone there. Brother Yuefu is there to take over the oboe position, so there's no problem, but that's limited to Brother Yuefu. Although I can play a little, I'm still a tuba, and the repertoire I can play is relatively limited. For example, in today's performance, I didn't even have a chance to perform."

When Huang Xin said this, there was a hint of regret on her face.

After she got the position of principal tuba from Chen Qiu, she was very surprised.

Now she is the only tuba player in the orchestra.

This means that apart from her, there can be no one else playing the principal tuba in the orchestra.

This also made her previous competition with the former tuba leader seem a bit trifling.

If she didn't compete, it would be easy for her to get the position. But she not only competed, but also showed her ability.

Now she doesn't even have a chance to slack off.

Thinking of this, Huang Xin sighed and said helplessly.

"The flute is still the same as before. Although Song Ge has some talent, her talent has not yet been transformed into strength like Rui Jia, so Chen Qiu has not considered it. As for the French horn, trombone, and trumpet, it is even more so. Although everyone's strength is considered good among the students, it is extremely difficult to catch up with a pervert like Qin Xian, or even someone like Brother Yuefu."

"Qin Xian...indeed."

Su Yue nodded slightly, but soon felt something was wrong and asked Huang Xin.

"Lefu...Brother? Why do you call me Lefu brother?"

"Because of my age?"

Huang Xin spread her hands: "The first couple in the orchestra to publicly announce their relationship was the principal cellist of the string section. They always give benefits to everyone in the orchestra, including a lot of food and drinks. They are very generous, so they are called Brother Yuefu. Although he is only a senior, he is one year older than Chen Qiu because he is repeating a year."

"so."

Su Yue nodded.

No further words were said.

Just as Huang Xin just said.

Qin Xian is the string player in the orchestra.

When it comes to this kind of perverted string instrument, no one on the wind instrument side can compete with Qin Xian.

Unless she comes back with those wind instruments.

Otherwise, there would be absolutely no chance for the band to escape from Qin Xian's oppression.

Although if the string instruments are strong, the entire orchestra will be strong too.

But people with one thick thigh and the other thin will sooner or later fall over when they walk.

Huang Xin understands this principle, and Chen Qiu certainly understands it too.

Therefore, Su Yue did not say much on this issue.

She just looked at the table next to her.

This is the table Chen Qiu usually uses to read music scores.

There were no fountain pens or ballpoint pens on the table, only some pencils.

Looking at the pencil on the table, Su Yue seemed to see Chen Qiu backstage.

Raise the pencil in your hand and tell everyone to believe in him and that he will take care of everything.

So, Su Yue believed him.

I believe Chen Qiu can definitely lead the Harmony Symphony Orchestra out of the current situation.

Become the world's top symphony orchestra.

Su Yue was silent.

Huang Xin was still there chatting with Rui Jia, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

The whole lounge is quite harmonious.

While the three of them were in the lounge, no one else came in to disturb them.

After all, Huang Xin had already told other people in the band about this before she came in.

Naturally, no one would come to disturb them at this moment.

Huang Xin looked at Su Yue in a daze and couldn't help but chuckle. He stood up from the sofa with a click, walked behind Su Yue, reached out to rub Su Yue's shoulders, and spoke with a smile.

"What's wrong? Why do you look like that? Are you a little excited about meeting Chen Qiu? Do you want me to prepare something for you, and give Chen Qiu a surprise? For example, a big gift box as tall as a person? And let you hide inside it? When Chen Qiu comes in, bang! Jump out! It will definitely be a surprise!"

"..."

Su Yue originally thought that Huang Xin had some plan, but she didn't expect it to be this.

She looked at Huang Xin not knowing what to say, took a deep breath, her eyes drifting to the side, and said lightly.

"Chen Qiu and I don't have such a relationship."

"Well, there's no such relationship yet? Really? Are you sure?"

Huang Xin's eyes lit up, and then he immediately stared at Su Yue and spoke with a smile.

"That night, Ruijia and I saw everything! We saw everything, right, Ruijia?"

"Uh-huh!"

Rui Jia sat in the corner, nodded vigorously, and whispered to Su Yue.

"I saw it too. Huang Xin and I were going back to the orchestra to get something, but we accidentally saw it."

"..."

Su Yue was silent.

Still a little overwhelmed.

She originally thought she had concealed it well, but she didn't expect that she had exposed her intentions from the very beginning.

She wanted to get up from the position where she was leaning against Chen Qiu's desk.

But I felt that if I did this directly, it would seem a bit too cover-up, so I had to give up saying it.

So what should I do now?
Su Yue looked at Huang Xin's smiling expression, and finally just shifted her gaze away and said softly.

"No, I just..."

"Huh? You just what?"

"I just……"

Faced with Huang Xin's questioning, Su Yue's mind was a little confused and she couldn't find a suitable reason. In the end, she just shook her head and said nothing.

Seeing Su Yue like this, Huang Xin did not continue to ask Su Yue questions, which would make Su Yue shy.

She just smiled and changed the subject, continuing to talk to Ruijia about what happened in the band before.

Seeing that Huang Xin no longer discussed the matter between her and Chen Qiu, Su Yue cheered and let out a sigh of relief. She stretched out her right hand and placed it on her chest, feeling her pounding heart, her face slightly flushed.

Saying.

Is your attitude really that obvious?
Su Yue wasn’t quite sure.

But Huang Xin and Rui Jia's looks wouldn't lie to her.

Therefore, Su Yue's hand placed on her chest gradually clenched into a fist.

She wanted to talk this out to Huang Xin.

However, before she could say anything, a familiar voice came from the door, causing her body to freeze.

This also made Huang Xin and Rui Jia's eyes light up. They sat on the sofa very obediently, looking at her expectantly, waiting for what would happen next.

Outside the door.

Chen Qiu didn't know that Su Yue, Huang Xin and Rui Jia were in the lounge.

He just smiled and chatted with Professor Li Anguo.

The two chatted until they reached the door of the lounge.

Looking at the tightly closed door of the lounge, Professor Li Anguo raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded to Chen Qiu.

"You can take a rest today. When school starts the day after tomorrow, come to my office and I'll talk to you about this performance. No, to be precise, it's not just about the performance, but also about some follow-up matters. What I talk to you about should give you some surprises, but I don't plan to tell you today. In short, your performance today was very good."

"Oh? Really? Then there will be more Professor Li Anguo."

Chen Qiu said to Professor Li Anguo with a hearty smile.

"Although I don't know what kind of surprise I will get, but since it is Professor Li Anguo who said so, I am looking forward to Monday. I believe that Professor Li Anguo will not let me down when he comes back."

"Well, you will not be disappointed, I promise you, because this is a more important surprise than the conductor training program of Haicheng Conservatory of Music."

Professor Li Anguo stood up and walked forward. He patted Chen Qiu on the shoulder and said nothing. He just gave Chen Qiu a mysterious smile, put his hands behind his back, and turned away.

Looking at Professor Li Anguo's leaving back, Chen Qiu spread his hands helplessly, then exhaled a breath, twisted his waist and abdomen vigorously, moved his muscles and bones, rubbed his shoulders, and had a painful expression.

The socializing after the performance was even more tiring than the performance itself.

Although this should be the conductor's job, but seriously, can't the orchestra manager really do it?

If only I could focus on the performance.

Chen Qiu shook his head slightly, put his hands on his neck and twisted them slowly. After allowing his body to fully relax, he jumped a few times on the spot and pushed open his lounge with a smile on his face.

Anyway, today's performance can be considered to have ended successfully.

Tomorrow's performance will be much easier than today. At least I don't have to be as tense as today.

Now I'll go to the lounge and get a cup of soy milk, then go to bed and have a good sleep.

Well.

I feel like this is the only way life is complete.

I just don’t know where Su Yue is.

When I was playing the Bolero just now, I always felt that there was a clarinet following me backstage, and the sound was particularly like Su Yue's.

Chen Qiu always felt that it was his own illusion.

After all, if it was Su Yue, she would have kicked open the backstage door, come to her seat, and play along with the orchestra...

Right?
Chen Qiu's fingers froze.

He looked at Su Yue, who was wearing a slim black dress in front of him, and swallowed unconsciously.

He felt the blood in his fingertips flowing backwards.
