The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 314: National Shock
Qi Min was not the only one who saw the article in Huayin.

The same is true for people in some other places.

Unlike the independent "Musician" magazine in Haicheng, the influence of Haicheng "Musician" magazine is basically limited to Haicheng.

But the impression left by "Huayin" is much wider.

Basically, all the music departments or music colleges in universities with a little bit of strength in the country subscribe to this magazine.

Therefore, the name of Chen Qiu and his Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra gradually spread from Haicheng.

The university in Haicheng is okay. Everyone has long known that Chen Qiu's symphony orchestra is a bit outrageous.

Now seeing Chen Qiu and his symphony orchestra appear on "Huayin", they were merely surprised and did not take it to heart.

For them, Chen Qiu and his symphony orchestra have the opportunity to compete for the top five positions in Haicheng this year.

Isn’t it normal to be featured in the national magazine “Musician”?

They were shocked by such a small thing. When Chen Qiu and his symphony orchestra got into the top three in Haicheng, or even ranked first in Haicheng, wouldn't everyone go crazy?
And around Haicheng, Jiangzhou.

In the Jiangzhou Symphony Orchestra, Jiang Yuan looked at the magazine in his hand, tapped the desk in front of him thoughtfully, and a wave of emotion flashed through his heart.

Certified by Huayin as the strongest conductor of the new generation, Chen Qiu's strength is indeed as unfathomable as he thought.

I really don’t know what kind of ranking Chen Qiu would get if he participated in those conducting competitions.

but……

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.

Chen Qiu probably won't participate in the conducting competition.

For many conductors, or for the music world.

The command contest is the most useless contest.

The most important thing about the conducting competition is to let the great conductors see your talent, and then let you follow them into the big troupe to rehearse and perform. Apart from that, it has no other function.

No one will hire you just because you ranked so high in a certain competition.

Chen Qiu now has his own orchestra and has gained some fame, so there is no need for him to participate in those conducting competitions.

Not only that, if he is willing, the big group in Haicheng, or even the big group in China, basically as long as Chen Qiu wants, he should be able to join.

So what is the purpose of participating in the Conductor Competition?
and……

In comparison, piano competitions and violin competitions are still somewhat useful. After all, they compete on the solo part, and whoever has the best solo performance will win the championship. So what do conducting competitions compete for?
Than commanding?

What a joke.

Even if it is true that a conducting competition can select some outstanding conductors, you must be clear that a conductor's skills are not demonstrated in one or two performances, but in repeated rehearsals and performances.

For example, the previous assessment by the school, which was the conductor training program, asked Chen Qiu to go on site to conduct temporarily.

Even the improvements Chen Qiu could make to the orchestra were limited.

It was already difficult to get the orchestra to understand his ideas.

Let alone others.

Unless it is a top conductor + a top symphony orchestra that has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations + a work that both parties are already familiar with.

Only such a conductor can lead the orchestra to express more without rehearsal.

Otherwise, even if Karajan were alive, he would not have been able to conduct a piece that no one was familiar with in front of an unfamiliar symphony orchestra.

A group of students, facing an unfamiliar symphony orchestra, played a piece that neither side was particularly familiar with.

Being able to play it normally is already considered pretty good.

If you want to perform well, you need to show amazing performance like in piano competitions and violin competitions, or even rival the performances of some masters.

That's a bit wishful thinking.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan just thought about it and put away the magazine in his hand.

Chen Qiu's strength has grown even stronger than he thought.

A few days later, there would be an opening ceremony for the orchestra academy at Haicheng Conservatory of Music, and he felt that he might need to be more solemn.

After all, Chen Qiu has begun to show his brilliance and has stepped onto the stage of Shanghai and even the world.

As the best symphony orchestra in Jiangzhou, it is probably among the top 20 in the country.

It would be good to have more contact with Chen Qiu.

In comparison, Jiang Yuan was thinking about how to contact Chen Qiu.

In another state, at Zhejiang Conservatory of Music.

Zhou Gangsheng was so excited looking at the magazine in his hand.

He lay on his bed, rolling around while reading a magazine.

The classmates around him had a headache because of the rolling. They reached out and knocked on Zhou Gangsheng's bed and complained to him.

"No, Zhou Gangsheng, what are you doing here? Are you in a relationship recently? Or are you playing glue there? You are twisted like a maggot, it's very noisy, okay? Can you be quiet?"

"no no!"

Zhou Gangsheng immediately sat up from the bed, pointing at the magazine in his hand and excitedly spoke to his roommate below.

"Have you seen it? My idol, conductor Chen Qiu, was selected as the best newcomer of the month by Huayin. The conductor of the best newcomer of the month, I don't think I have seen it very often, damn, he is so awesome!"

"No, what does Chen Qiu's awesome command have to do with you?"

Several people who were also in the command department below looked at Zhou Gangsheng in confusion and asked him.

"He's awesome. Why are you so excited about this place?"

"You don't understand! This is my idol!"

Zhou Gangsheng jumped suddenly and jumped directly off the bed, not caring at all that the bed was about two meters above the ground.

After he landed on the ground with a thud, he pointed at the magazine in his hand and spoke to everyone.

"How does that saying go? Idols pave the way for us! Basically, we just need to follow the path that idols have paved. One day in the future, we may be able to become a world-class conductor like idols. The future conducting world will definitely belong to us, and we will definitely sweep those old guys into the dust of history!"

Looking at the excited Zhou Gangsheng, several roommates twitched their lips and were too lazy to pay attention to him.

Chen Qiu and the others also knew about it.

The strongest among the younger generation.

Basically, if you ask all those who are learning conducting who is the strongest conductor of the younger generation in China, the first person that comes to mind will definitely be Chen Qiu.

Even if you ask them who is the strongest conductor of the younger generation worldwide, they are likely to say Chen Qiu's name.

after all……

Chen Qiu is really strong.

They had gone to the Nine Schools League with their school to study, and had seen Chen Qiu beat other schools with their own eyes.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chen Qiu beating up the Central Conservatory of Music.

Li Tian, ​​the strongest commander of China in the previous generation, was almost beaten to tears.

Later I heard that Chen Qiu went to East Asia to beat up Japan and South Korea.

It’s a pity that they didn’t see the scene.

It would be interesting to see it live.

The man who had just knocked on Zhou Gangsheng's bed couldn't help but click his tongue twice and smiled at Zhou Gangsheng.

"Zhou Gangsheng, when are you going to catch up with Chen Qiu? Look, Chen Qiu is already preparing to graduate, and he has taken his Harmony Symphony Orchestra to the top five in Haicheng. You should at least get fifth in Hangzhou, right?"

"Tsk, this isn't that difficult. There aren't many symphony orchestras in Hangzhou. Although the few that exist are all good, there are too few of them. If you ask me, when I graduate, I'll definitely be able to get into the top three in Hangzhou like my idol!"

Zhou Gangsheng is very confident.

There are several very good symphony orchestras in Hangzhou.

For example, the Hangzhou Philharmonic Orchestra is slightly inferior to the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra, but it can also rank among the top five in the country. Now the main factor limiting them from becoming the top three in the country is their venue. They lack a top-notch venue.

The Zhejiang Symphony Orchestra is not as good as the Hangzhou Philharmonic, but it is still pretty good.

Apart from these two, there are no other symphony orchestras in Hangzhou.

Basically they are some ordinary symphony orchestras.

This year, the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music Student Symphony Orchestra is currently ranked eighth in Hangzhou.

That is the same position as Haiyin.

If you work harder, it won't be a big problem to get into the top three.

After all, Zhejiang Conservatory of Music is really rich.

They are also willing to spend more money.

Even more than what Haicheng Conservatory of Music has to pay.

If Chen Qiu had not been unwilling to come to Zhejiang Conservatory of Music from Haiyin, the people at Zhejiang Conservatory of Music would even have the confidence to make their symphony orchestra rank third in Hangzhou!
Zhou Gangsheng rubbed his legs which were sore from jumping down, and grinned at his roommates.

"Anyway, just wait and see. Sooner or later, I will be able to catch up with my idol!"

"Zhou Gangsheng!"

Before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door and the school counselor walked in.

"You guys are here too." He looked at the people chatting in the room and nodded slightly. Then he turned to Zhou Gangsheng and said, "Zhou Gangsheng, the dean of the department is looking for you. He said he couldn't get through to you on the phone and wants you to come over to him."

"Row."

Zhou Gangsheng grinned, jumped on the spot, and after making sure that he did not hurt his legs when he jumped down, he waved to several roommates.

"Then I'll be out first. If you have anything you want to take, remember to send me a message and I'll bring it back for you on the way back!"

"Oh my god! Godfather! I want two servings of pickled mustard greens pot cakes!"

"I want one too. Bring me a bowl of knife-cut noodles, Dad!" "Master Zhou Gangsheng, there's me and there's me. Just bring me some fast food from the cafeteria!"

"to make!"

Zhou Gangsheng smiled and greeted everyone, then left the dormitory.

Looking at Zhou Gangsheng's departing back, the counselor shrugged slightly and prepared to leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, he noticed the magazine lying on the table, along with the title on it.

Musicians: Chinese Music

[Born in Haiyin, the true god of command of the younger generation—Chen Qiu! ]

Chen Qiu, has it come to this?
The counselor was a little dazed, as if he had thought of something. He couldn't help laughing and turned away.

Corresponding to Zhou Gangsheng is Zhao Zitong.

Zhao Zitong looked at the magazine in his hand, his eyes becoming particularly determined.

She found her goal, and she would continue to move forward in the same direction as Chen Qiu.

Move forward little by little.

Although she is not talented enough.

Although her strength is not that good.

But she believes that through hard work and the support of her father Zhao Yi, sooner or later, she will be able to become a representative figure who can also be registered on the cover of "Huayin"!

She looked at the homework given to her by Chen Qiu, and her eyes became more serious.

Zhao Yi, who was sitting in the living room, was also flipping through the magazine in his hand. He glanced at Zhao Zitong's house with the corner of his eyes. He couldn't help but smile helplessly, threw the magazine aside, leaned back on the sofa, and let his mind gradually empty.

Chen Qiu...

This guy is really scary.

In this case, I think we can pay a little more attention to the affairs of Haicheng Orchestra Academy.

He stood up, picked up the briefcase beside him, opened the door, and walked towards the Haicheng Conservatory of Music.

……

……

……

At the same time, in the capital.

Yu Tu stood in front of the rehearsal room of the concert hall, looking at the people who were rehearsing in front of him. His expression was calm and he could not see any emotion at all.

Under his gaze, everyone was rehearsing seriously for the performance they were going to perform next.

It’s the same as the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra and the Haicheng Philharmonic Orchestra.

Their China Symphony Orchestra also has plans for a music season.

However, compared with the two in Haicheng, Yu Tu’s preparations for this year’s music season are actually a little conservative.

He didn't intend to choose some niche songs to improve his scores.

Some members left the band this year and some new members joined, so the band is still in the process of getting used to each other.

If the band tries to get higher scores at this time, it is very likely that not only will the scores not go up, but the band's ranking will drop from 48th in the world to over 50th.

His goal this year is to stay in the top 50, and after these new players have had enough time to work together, he will try to see if he can break into the top in the world.

Yu Tu touched his chin, his eyes heavy, and interrupted the orchestra's rehearsal from time to time to let some instruments start over alone.

Under his control, the orchestra's integration is gradually improving.

The level is also gradually rising.

However, the increase was very small. Only a few chiefs and Yu Tu heard it. Others did not notice such a small improvement at all.

After the orchestra had rehearsed all the pieces they needed to perform tonight, Yu Tu let everyone take a break. He also went to his office and began to look through some of the pieces they were going to practice later.

Just as he was flipping through the pages, there was a knock on the door.

Yu Tu said casually: "Come in!"

"Yu Tu is in command!"

Li Tian walked in from the door, nodded at Yu Tu, and spoke.

"Conductor Yu Tu, I have found all the files you requested, and I have also brought you the Chinese music this time."

"Just put it on the table." Yu Tu nodded.

After Li Tian obediently placed the documents on the table, he bowed to Yu Tu and prepared to leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, Yu Tu suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of which, Li Tian, ​​you are the one commanding tonight. Do you have confidence?"

"Ah I?"

Li Tian paused in his steps and looked hesitantly at Yu Tu behind him. After thinking for a moment, he nodded seriously.

"Yes, I have practiced it."

"Okay!" Yu Tu nodded, stretched out his hand to take out a few music scores and put them in his arms, then turned to look at Li Tian and said to him seriously: "Since you said you can conduct, then you will be the conductor this time. I have to go out for a while."

"Go out for a while?" Li Tian was stunned, then nodded vigorously, "No problem, I will lead the orchestra to complete the rehearsal tonight."

"So obedient?" Yu Tu looked at Li Tian and couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Aren't you curious about where I'm going?"

Li Tian shook his head: "No, I'm not curious. I am only responsible for completing the tasks that Yu Tu instructed you to give me."

Yu Tu: "Well, in that case, the China Symphony Orchestra will be yours tonight. From tomorrow on, you will go to the China Philharmonic next door to take over my task and be responsible for their rehearsals as the rehearsal conductor of the orchestra. If the results are good, you will go to Yuezhou in two months and I will give you that orchestra."

"?"

Li Tian was stunned. He didn't expect it to develop like this.

Seeing Li Tian in a daze, Yu Tu couldn't help but smile. He took two steps forward, patted his shoulder, made eye contact with Li Tian, ​​and the two looked at each other.

He stared into Li Tian's pupils and spoke with a smile.

"Now is an era of contention among a hundred schools of thought. The great trend of Chinese music is about to come. If you don't want to be left behind by the times, then rehearse well and improve yourself. You can take all the people in the orchestra with you and arrange them to the position you want, but..."

Yu Tu's smile gradually disappeared.

He looked at Li Tian and spoke slowly.

"I need you to achieve results that satisfy me. Otherwise, this will be your last chance! Your last chance to conduct a top national symphony orchestra!"

After saying that, Yu Tu let go of Li Tian, ​​picked up the documents placed aside, waved at Li Tian, ​​and said with a smile.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I have something to do tonight. I have to go to Yuezhou. If you have anything to say, please send me an email. I hope to hear good news about your successful performance."

Li Tian looked at Yu Tu, nodded heavily, and said softly.

"Okay, I understand. Commander Yu Tu."

"Remember, this is the last time, don't let me down."

Yu Tu turned around without any hesitation and disappeared from Li Tian's sight.

Li Tian took a deep breath, picked up the music score that had been prepared on the table, and pushed the door open.

A young man holding a violin was standing at the door, leaning against the wall and biting bubble gum.

After seeing Li Tian coming out, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said to Li Tian.

"What's going on? Why was Yu Tu so happy when he came out just now?"

"Nothing. I will conduct the orchestra tonight."

Li Tian exhaled slowly and then said with a smile.

"Get ready. Tonight, I want you to be the chief!"

"What the hell? My Chief? You are putting me on the fire!"

The man immediately complained.

But there was no sign of uneasiness or fear on his face.

He reached out and rubbed his shoulders, then spoke with a smile.

"So it's the same as before?"

"Yeah, just like before!"

Li Tian walked towards the concert hall and walked onto the stage in front of everyone.

The violinist also smiled at the original principal and sat in his seat.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Tian placed the music score on the music stand.

After he nodded to everyone, he picked up the baton in his hand and raised it.

The concert hall fell into silence.

No one noticed that there was an open magazine on the music stand in front of him.

A magazine that Yu Tu had not taken away.

On the open page, Chen Qiu was looking at him with a smile.

As if sensing Chen Qiu's gaze, Li Tian looked towards the orchestra and raised the baton in his hand.

The orchestra boomed.

Just like Li Tian who is gradually waking up.

Full of tension!
