The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 318 Shock
Feng Zicai is a freshman at Haicheng Conservatory of Music.

Unlike other people in the school, he did not report directly to school and undergo military training at the beginning of the semester.

Before the start of the semester, he informed the school that he would go to Singapore to participate in an exchange and a performance, so he could start school a few days later.

His hometown is Yuezhou, so after flying from Singapore to Yuezhou, he took a direct plane from Yuezhou to Haicheng.

With him were several classmates he met in Singapore.

Several students from the Central Conservatory of Music.

Since the Central Conservatory of Music and Haicheng Conservatory of Music started at different times, and they had just applied to the school to postpone their admission, they decided to go to Haicheng together when they returned to China, and after two or three days, report to the Central Conservatory of Music.

Everyone gathered together and walked out of Hongqiao Airport. Feng Zicai smiled and spoke to the people around him.

"Oh, by the way, in a few months, will the music competition at Haicheng Conservatory of Music be held? If you do, please let me know. I don't want to compete with you again. Don't let you guys beat me and embarrass me."

"Fuck, Feng Zicai, do you think it's fun to show off like this? You're not satisfied with getting the silver medal this year, and you're trying to gain recognition from us? You have bad intentions! I seriously suspect that all the people at Haicheng Conservatory of Music are the same, everyone likes to show off!"

"That's right. I heard from my friend recently that in this year's Nine Schools League, the people from Central Conservatory of Music were beaten by the people from Haicheng Conservatory of Music. How dare you pretend to be so arrogant here? If you want to play the pig and eat the tiger, at least you should find someone who doesn't know you, right? Why are you pretending in front of us?"

Feng Zicai waved his hands quickly: "Hey, I'm not as good as you say. I'm just lucky this year. I happened to meet a few teachers who liked my ability and gave me such a high score. It's all luck, luck. To be honest, you are all stronger than me. If it weren't for the bad tutor this year, I think you might have won the gold medal!"

"That's enough. Appropriate politeness is called humility. Too much politeness is just pretense. Don't force us to slap you, kid!"

"That's it!"

Everyone burst into laughter and walked towards the exit.

There were many other tourists coming out with them.

Obviously, it is now the rush hour, and countless tourists from all over the world have landed in Haicheng, the window of China, to experience the world's top luxury.

Therefore, among the group of people who came out, there were not only Chinese people, but also some foreigners from various places such as Beijing and Guangdong.

Feng Zicai and several students who were preparing to go to the Central Conservatory of Music did not stand out at all among this group of people.

However, just when everyone was about to walk directly from the hub and take the subway to the Haicheng Conservatory of Music...

They suddenly realized something was wrong.

At the very bottom of the hub, a petite girl, holding a double bass that was bigger than herself, stood in the center of the hub, plucking the strings carefully.

The deep sound of the double bass was not so prominent in the noisy hub, but it still caught the attention of many people.

First came the group of foreigners. They were quite familiar with flash mobs and stopped where they were. They looked curiously at the girl who was holding the double bass with difficulty, wondering what kind of piece she was going to play.

But they knew that there would definitely be a flash mob in front of them next.

Ruijia calmly plucked the strings of the double bass in her hand.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Only a few single notes were heard, but they gave people a very magical feeling.

It's like a foundation, sinking into the ground.

After Feng Zicai and his companions glanced at each other, they looked around and found that many musicians had appeared around them, appearing from nowhere.

If I'm not mistaken, these people will all be on stage soon.

Seeing this, several people's eyes lit up and they immediately followed the elevator downstairs.

They have seen many street performances, but this is the first time they have seen a flash mob like this.

It wasn't even a flash mob they saw because of the trailer, but they just happened to see it when they went out.

This is very interesting.

They quickly walked to Ruijia's side, held the instruments in their hands and looked at Ruijia with expectant looks on their faces.

Feng Zicai asked in a low voice to the people around him.

"Hey, what school does this little guy belong to?"

"I don't know, maybe it's from a certain social group?" Someone nearby murmured, "Although it's just a single note and I can't tell much from it, it seems pretty good. This single note is very powerful and elastic."

"I feel like this might be some kind of interest class, right? Looking at this tiny kid, he looks like he's only about ten years old, and was pulled out by the teacher to act as a front man? But... is Haicheng so open here? Can an interest class set up such a large venue for a flash mob?"

"Who knows."

Feng Zicai touched his chin and pursed his lips.

None of them regarded this flash mob as a formal symphony orchestra performance.

After all, those big symphony orchestras are busy and don’t have time to do these things.

So they just watched it as a fun event.

Rui Jia, who was not far in front of them, seemed to hear someone around her discussing something about little ones and children. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but purse, and her face was full of unhappiness.

Although she was not very big, not even as big as the double bass in front of her...

But no matter what, she is an adult who can support herself and even provide for her family!

How can you use words like tiny to describe it!
She hooked her fingers slightly and turned the bow, which was originally held in her palm backwards, into a forward grip.

She glanced at the people not far away, hummed softly, and then the bow in her hand rubbed against the strings violently.

hum!
An extremely deep bass sounded.

Draw everyone's attention to Ruijia.

She slowly pulled the bass in her hand, and used her strength to build the base of the orchestra.

A deep force suddenly surged out from under everyone's feet, slowly lifting their hearts.

"this is?"

Some students from the Central Conservatory of Music around Feng Zicai couldn't help but brighten their eyes and looked at Rui Jia in front of them with a little surprise.

This low bass line gave them a great surprise.

This bass line is very interesting.

Very interesting.

Compared to the plucking they heard before, the string playing now showed Rui Jia's strength a little more.

Their evaluation of Rui Jia also changed from an ordinary primary school student in an interest class to an outstanding primary school student affiliated to a music college.

The group of people from the Central Conservatory of Music looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

They didn't expect that the primary school affiliated to Haicheng Conservatory of Music was so strong.

There is something special about this performance.

I feel that the ability of these primary school students is comparable to that of their undergraduate students.

but……

Is this flash mob performance only by the double bass?

Everyone looked at Rui Jia with a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

As everyone was looking on expectantly, another girl with a scholarly air walked gently to Ruijia's side. After smiling and nodding at Ruijia, she picked up the stool she was carrying and sat down, and also took out the cello she was carrying on her back.

hum.

The bookish cello blends with the deep, hard and strong sound of the double bass.

It takes the feeling of music to a higher level.

The addition of the cello melody allowed everyone to begin to understand what kind of piece they were going to play.

However, this is still a little unclear.

Until the inconspicuous viola and Qin Xian and Zhao Xi's violins joined in.

After all the five string players arrived, the music paused.

The five people looked at each other, nodded vigorously, and the bows in their hands touched the strings again.

The hard rosin pulled at the strings, making them tremble.

The sound of music came out from the strings very softly.

The sound wasn't loud, but...

But it resounded throughout the concert hall.

Everyone present then understood what kind of music they were playing.

"My Motherland and I"!
The violin led all the instruments, gathering them together into a group and roaring in front of everyone.

When the leader Qin Xian pulled the violin in his hand, everyone present was stunned.

They looked at the five people in front of them in disbelief, with confusion and disbelief in their eyes. They didn't understand why such a thin voice could move their hearts so much.

As for Feng Zicai and the people from the Central Conservatory of Music, they were completely stunned the moment Qin Xian came out.

Feng Zicai swallowed slowly.

Damn, what did I just say?

Did you think that the little guy just now was from some interest class?

Just looking at this violin, how could he have come from some interest class?
Isn’t the main melody played by this violin so great?

Absolutely amazing!

Can this level be achieved through interest classes?
If this person comes from an interest class, he will just eat it!
Eat a large portion!

Feng Zicai looked at Qin Xian in front of him with eyes full of suspicion.

He didn't know where this group of people came from.

The melody performance of this string instrument is simply amazing!
It directly moved everyone's hearts and made them tremble.

However this is not the end.

At the end of each phrase, a group of string players will join the orchestra.

The band gradually grew from five people to ten, fifteen, and twenty people.

Until the moment when all the strings are standing in the atrium of Hongqiao Hub.

The power of music reaches its highest point at this moment!
The emotion of the music surged towards them like a tide.

There's even an illusion that people around them want to start singing along with them.

Feng Zicai swallowed slowly.

Calm yourself down and speak with a smile to the people around you.

"It feels pretty good, huh? Doesn't look like you came from some social group?"

"It certainly doesn't look like it."

The person from the Central Conservatory of Music nearby swallowed slowly, pointed at the people around him and spoke.

"After all, if they really only came from social groups, it would be impossible to attract so many people!"

Feng Zicai followed the guidance of his Central Conservatory of Music classmate and looked around.

I discovered that at some point, the Hongqiao hub, which had seemed a little empty, suddenly became crowded at this moment.

A group of people leaned on the railing and looked in the direction of the orchestra.

Although it didn't block traffic, it was obvious...

Joining in the fun is a basic setting in every human being.

Even if the road in front of you is clear, with so many people standing by to watch the excitement, can you resist the urge to look over there with the crowd?
After all, this place is the exit, not the entrance, so there is no need to rush to catch a plane or anything.

Therefore, more and more people began to gather around this place, watching the performance of Chen Qiu and the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation.

Seeing more and more people coming, Chen Qiu couldn't help but laugh while standing aside.

He walked forward in a pretentious manner carrying a suitcase. After putting the suitcase aside, he spread his fingers and a baton fell from his sleeve into his palm in an extremely cool gesture.

The baton trembled slightly, and after giving a simple bass note, it pointed sharply into the distance.

Everyone's eyes immediately followed the baton in Chen Qiu's hand and looked in the direction he was pointing.

Under their sight, a man holding a saxophone played it slowly.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz...buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.

There was no dedicated saxophone player in the orchestra, so Chen Qiu asked a brass player in the orchestra to play the saxophone part-time.

The saxophone in his hand is a baritone, and the overall tone tends to be dark and low.

Therefore, many people present did not realize that the instrument he was playing was the saxophone.

The next second, the baton in Chen Qiu's hand fell in another direction, and the flamboyant sound of a classic saxophone immediately rang out.

Combined with the previous saxophone.

Along with it, there are trumpets in other corners.

as well as……

hum! ! !
Huang Xin holding the huge one that can cover her entire body!

Huang Xin stood in the elevator and went down bit by bit.

With her super strong chest strength.

The moment her trumpet sounded, the entire hub began to tremble.

Before Feng Zicai could recover from the shock of the string music played by Rui Jia, Qin Xian and others, the sound of wind instruments rang in his ears.

He was suddenly startled and looked at Huang Xin who was coming down the escalator in disbelief. His pupils dilated and he swallowed.

"Wait, this tuba? This tuba sound? Holy shit? No way?"

"It seems to be similar to what you thought..."

A person from the Central Conservatory of Music nearby looked at Huang Xin who was holding the tuba and playing it, and spoke slowly.

"This person seems to be Senior Sister Huang Xin!"

"If she is really Senior Huang Xin, then everyone else should be able to guess it!"

The conductor pretending to be a passerby and directing the orchestra over there is Chen Qiu.

The five people in front of Chen Qiu were Qin Xian and Zhao Xi, the violinist, an unknown name but probably Wu Ming, the viola player, Xu Shuwen, the cello player, and Rui Jia, a very famous legal lolita in their Central Conservatory of Music.

Of course, it's not just the Central Conservatory of Music. If you ask almost all the music conservatories, as long as they have participated in the Nine Schools League and faced off against the Haicheng Conservatory of Music, they will all know Rui Jia.

Although she is less than 1.6 meters tall, she possesses strength that even boys who are 1.8 meters tall may not have.

Even though the double bass on her back is bigger than her whole body, Ruijia still insists on running around with the double bass on her back.

Feng Zicai felt a chill when he thought that he had just mistaken such a famous person in the orchestra for someone who graduated from an elementary school.

Fortunately, Ruijia would not hear what he said, otherwise he felt miserable.

but……

He turned his gaze towards the people in front of him.

The string group is located in the center of the circle.

The members of the wind band standing in various places in the hub.

Every wave of the baton in Chen Qiu's hand brought wave after wave of musical power.

This is the world famous piece, Shostakovich's Second Waltz.

Shostakovich's Second Waltz, to be precise, was not originally called the Second Waltz, but the Second Jazz Waltz Suite.

Or it can be called "Suite for mixed orchestra".

The exact date of creation of this piece is still unknown, but it is believed to have been created in the late 1950s because the movements are composed of passages from other works of the composer.

The most well-known "Waltz No. 2" is the last work, which comes from the film soundtrack of Opus 1955 in 99.

Although it is called a jazz suite, the jazz content only uses a little saxophone instrumentation, and the rest has nothing to do with jazz. Even the syncopation of jazz classics is not used.

This is the main reason why later generations only considered this work as a waltz and did not recognize it as jazz.

Rich orchestration and simple melody together make up the flash version of Shostakovich's Second Waltz that everyone heard.

Such a beautiful show, such a stunning performance.

Feng Zicai was shocked.

He suddenly remembered what his friend had said to him before.

This year, Haicheng Conservatory of Music directly crushed the Central Conservatory of Music and other schools.

Regarding the performance of Haicheng Conservatory of Music.

If they don't crush us, who will?
"Is this the Harmony Symphony Orchestra of the Haicheng Conservatory of Music?"

Feng Zicai couldn't help but murmur this.
