The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 321 Welcome Party
When everyone from Haicheng Conservatory of Music who was in the group chat saw the news, they couldn't suppress their excitement and ecstasy.

Feng Zicai may not quite understand the relationship between the Harmony Symphony Orchestra and their school's current orchestra academy. After all, as a newcomer, it is normal for him not to understand. Even some of the old people in the school may not be particularly clear about it.

But the people in the group chat know it too well.

The Harmony Symphony Orchestra and the newly established Orchestra Academy in the school actually have a sense of two sides of the same coin.

The orchestra academy within the school consists of people who were not selected by Chen Qiu into the Harmony Symphony Orchestra. They are generally freshmen and sophomores who were previously in the Haiyin Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

Although they were very excited to hear that Chen Qiu was coming back to lead the orchestra and was going to perform with this group of people and hold a welcome party for the new people in the school, many of them did not take it seriously.

After all, Chen Qiu’s most impressive work is the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, not the current student orchestra.

Today's student orchestra is composed of a group of pure newcomers, and basically everyone from top to bottom has been replaced.

No matter how high the level of this group of people is, it's probably just like that, a bit similar to the previous Haiyin Student Symphony Orchestra.

Unless this group of people follow Chen Qiu's pace and continue to learn for a year or two, they will believe in the strength of this group of people.

And now, if Feng Zicai's information is correct, the people who will perform later may not only be the group of people in the school, but also the group of people from the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra. Then the meaning will be completely different.

Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra is currently the most popular symphony orchestra in Haiyin.

Compared with the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra, the people of Haiyin have deeper feelings for the Harmony Symphony Orchestra. If possible, they would prefer to listen to the performance of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra rather than that of the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra.

Listening to the performance in Chen Qiu's Harmony Concert Hall is as warm as returning home.

Not only were the people in the orchestra all familiar to us, but even the people welcoming us at the door were also familiar to us.

However, if it were just because there were many familiar people in the orchestra, people might not like the Harmony Symphony Orchestra as much as they do.

After all, if there are really a lot of acquaintances, then shouldn’t the school student orchestra have the largest number of people?
What really gave the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra a decisive advantage was actually the strength of the orchestra.

For many students, the Harmony Symphony Orchestra is definitely among the top five in Haicheng.

Haicheng’s top five strength, coupled with super cheap ticket prices and the same warmth as home.

This gives the Harmony Symphony Orchestra an absolute advantage over Haiyin.

When people normally want to listen to a concert, their first choice is to see what the Harmony Symphony Orchestra plays, followed by other symphony orchestras.

It is said that at Haiyin, if you choose the Harmony Symphony Orchestra when you go on a date, it is very likely to increase your success rate.

Of course, it is unknown whether this is an urban legend or a smoke screen thrown by the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

However, one thing that is clear is that the influence of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra on Haiyin is beyond everyone's imagination.

This was the main reason why everyone was so excited when they heard that the Harmony Symphony Orchestra was coming to perform at the welcome party.

Lach called you a coward: "No, really? Are you sure the Harmony Symphony Orchestra is really going to come here to perform? If the Harmony Symphony Orchestra is really going to hold a welcome party, then I will go back to school directly. I was thinking of going out that day."

Guo Jia was sitting in the ditch like a chair: "Oh my god, it's the Harmony Orchestra! Are you sure it's really the Harmony Orchestra that's coming? Are they really going to perform, and not some other messed up symphony orchestra? No, what am I talking about, it must be the Harmony Orchestra! Oh my god, oh my god, this must be a guarantee!"

Zicai is not a seaweed: "Ah? Is there any difference?"

Feng Zicai walked down from the subway, looked at the backs of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra members gradually disappearing from his sight, scratched his head in confusion, and then continued to send messages on his mobile phone.

Zicai is not a seaweed: "But I can be sure that it should be the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, because I saw seniors such as Chen Qiu, Rui Jia, Huang Xin, and a minotaur I didn't recognize, but this is not important. I heard that it seemed to be senior Qin Xian who said that he had never played the Yellow River, and then wanted to play it. Senior Chen Qiu thought about it and said that he would discuss it with the school or something? It seems like this."

Guo Jia was sitting in the ditch like a chair: "Negotiation? Is this something we need to discuss? The Harmony Symphony Orchestra is made up of students from our school. It is the most successful symphony orchestra. From the principal to the conductor, to the music director, they are all people from our school. They still need to discuss? Who are they going to discuss with? As long as they want to come, the school will have to kowtow and beg them to come!"

I don't want to practice the piano: "Maybe I need to discuss the performance process with Professor Li Anguo or something? I don't quite understand, but the school should have to negotiate first. After all, at the beginning, we only thought about having the school orchestra, and now with the addition of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, there are more than 30 people, so the number of people exceeds the limit. Do we need to readjust or something?"

When he saw me, he asked me to practice the piano: "The person in charge of the adjustment is Chen Qiu. He must be the one who knows the affairs of his subordinates best, so let's be honest. I feel that the Harmony Symphony Orchestra may really come to the welcome party this year."

Don't want to practice piano: "@See me, please tell me to practice piano, go play games, don't practice, what about you?"

Rah called you a coward: "Music, but who played the piano for this year's Yellow River Concerto? Let me see if I want to listen."

Viola? Even dogs don’t practice: “Yan Yiyi, I’m not sure.”

Lach called you a coward: "6. Yan Yiyi's piano? I wanted to listen to it, but with Yan Yiyi's lame personality, I feel like he's going to have problems with the freshman orientation this year."

I don't want to practice the piano: "It shouldn't be that serious, right? Yan Yiyi is an expert in internal battles. He shouldn't have any problems performing in a school like this...right?"

"..."

The focus of everyone's discussion quickly shifted from the orchestra to Yan Yiyi.

They began to guess whether Yan Yiyi would encounter any major problems at this year's welcome party, and then started to embarrass himself.

However, while everyone was discussing, they did not notice that in the group chat nickname, there was a person named "A Jin of Duck Pears".

This is Yan Yiyi’s QQ nickname.

Yiyi, I agree with the objection. The Japanese translation is "a pound of duck pears"!
He looked at the people discussing him enthusiastically, and he really wanted to give them a lawyer's medal, or rather, a "pound of pear" to slap them in the face, so that they would know what Kaiin Naruhodō's strength was.

But unfortunately, he was embarrassed.

He was really embarrassed to say in front of that group of people in school that there would be no problem this time.

Even he himself was not sure whether he would have problems again this time.

After all, his previous collaborations with the Harmony Symphony Orchestra all ended with problems on his side.

He even wondered if he had been cursed by the will of the world to become like this.

He sat in the piano room, pinching his brows and looking dejected.

Just after he sighed a few times, the door of the piano room was opened, and a girl walked in with two cups of milk tea. Seeing Yan Yiyi's dejected look, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with piano practice?"

"There weren't any problems with my piano practice, but the online reputation of the music started to get bad, which made me a little unsure."

Yan Yi shook his head, reached out to take the milk tea from his girlfriend, took a sip, and sighed.

"Now they say that I failed a few times before and asked Chen Qiu to direct the emergency rescue. They don't believe that I can act well. This makes me lose confidence. I am not sure if I can act well."

"Momo, there will definitely be no problem for you. After all, you are Yan Yiyi, the best pianist in Haiyin!"

Yan Yiyi's girlfriend didn't think much about it. She walked straight into Yan Yiyi's arms and stuck to him tightly.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Yan Yiyi restrained the urge to get close to his girlfriend. After putting the milk tea in his hand on the table beside him, he said to her.

"Thanks, baby, but I think I need to practice more and I will definitely not have any problems this time!"

"Yeah! Come on, baby!"

The two of them were flirting with each other for a while before Yan Yiyi's girlfriend left the piano room and walked outside.

At this time, Yan Yiyi rubbed his shoulders, looked at the piano in front of him with a firm gaze, and continued to practice.

Although he no longer knew how many times he had practiced, he had almost complete control over the details of the work, and he even felt that he could compete with the author of the "Yellow River Concerto".

But he still chose to continue practicing and strive for perfection.

He must rely on his own strength to regain the dignity he lost in front of other students in the school!
After all, he is Yan Yiyi, the strongest piano student among Haiyin's students except Fu Diao!

“Ahhhh, what the hell! It’s on fire!”

Yan Yiyi shouted loudly while practicing the piano.

Many passers-by were shocked and even thought that there was a psychopath locked in this room. Fortunately, Yan Yiyi practiced the piano almost every morning, otherwise if he practiced like this for a long time, he would at least become an urban legend in the school.

In a certain piano room, there is a ghost who committed suicide in despair because he could not make any progress in piano practice. As the groundbound spirit of the piano room, he will randomly appear in the school piano room after midnight every night and take away the souls of those students who have not left yet.

……

As the news that Chen Qiu was going to perform with the Harmony Symphony Orchestra spread more and more widely, more and more people began to pay attention to this performance and started to ask the school for the real news.

However, the school is not very clear about this, after all, it is Professor Li Anguo who is responsible for the performance content.

As long as there are no major problems with the performance, Professor Li Anguo will not contact them to change the program or anything like that.

Therefore, they were not in a position to reply to the group of people asking questions. They just said that nothing has been decided yet. When the news is finalized, everyone can go to the performance announcement, where everything will be written.

As for the specific performance and whether the Harmony Symphony Orchestra will appear, they are hard to say now. After all, these things are not decided by them.

A round of smooth talk left the group of people helpless.

Of course, these are the problems that are a headache for the people on the organizing committee.

Professor Li Anguo didn't feel anything.

When he heard that Chen Qiu was going to lead the Harmony Symphony Orchestra to perform with the group of people from the Orchestra Academy, his serious face almost couldn't hold back and he just burst out laughing on the spot.

What he was thinking at the time was that the orchestra academy might not be intimidating enough. It would be great if Chen Qiu could bring the Harmony Symphony Orchestra to teach that group of people a lesson and show them what the strongest student symphony orchestra is.

However, since Chen Qiu had already agreed to let him become the conductor of the orchestra, he could not continue to make such excessive demands to Chen Qiu, so he had to give up.

But he never expected that Chen Qiu would come to him on his own initiative.

Therefore, he suppressed the urge to laugh wildly in his heart and asked Chen Qiu calmly.

"If you add the Yellow River Symphony, will your orchestra be able to handle it? If I remember correctly, your orchestra should have more performances planned, right? Won't you be exhausted?"

"It's okay, actually. We basically add one big piece of music every week, plus a few small pieces. It's a bit tiring, but it's still within our tolerance. If you want to perform Yellow River, then I plan to have the orchestra change the big piece this week and perform one of the previous ones."

Chen Qiu smiled and said softly.

He raised his eyebrows at Professor Li Anguo.

"This week we plan to perform Beethoven's Symphony No. 3. If the Beethoven piece is replaced by the Yellow River Piano Concerto, the members of the orchestra will be very happy. After all, I have high standards for Beethoven. Instead of following me to perform Beethoven, it's better to perform the Yellow River Concerto to relax."

"The Yellow River Concerto is obviously a difficult piece, but how come it becomes so easy in your mouth?"

Professor Li Anguo couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He always felt that he had followed Chen Qiu for too long and was not very familiar with the frequency of the orchestra's performances.

According to his idea, the orchestra normally only needs to prepare one set of work per month, and then take a break during the music season, which means they prepare about ten sets of work in a year.

Many big groups he knew did this.

However, on Chen Qiu's side, it was completely different.

Chen Qiu's symphony orchestra has to produce a major work every week.

The entire orchestra practices all day long.

Only a month had passed, but Professor Li Anguo felt that the repertoire they had performed was more than what many large orchestras would produce in a quarter.

Looking at the repertoire of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, he even had some doubts. Are these people really students?

They wouldn’t all be like those in the recent popular online novels, all time travelers, right?

Otherwise it would be too outrageous.

After Li Anguo coughed twice, he asked Chen Qiu.

"By the way, how's the flash mob going with your band? I haven't had time to care about it yet."

"Thanks to Professor Li Anguo for his concern. The band's flash mob was a success."

Chen Qiu grinned.

He took out the ticket in his hand, waved it, and smiled at Li Anguo.

"Thanks to the publicity department of the school for their help. The students in the publicity department are quite good at making videos, so our video became a little popular. It received nearly 200,000 views in Pilipili and tens of thousands of likes in other places. This has helped us sell a lot more tickets recently."

Li Anguo nodded: "That's good. The increase in the band's income can boost the enthusiasm of the band members, but this ticket is..."

He reached out to take the ticket handed to him by Chen Qiu, looked it up and down, and soon saw the title on it.

The Marriage of Figaro (First Trial)

Performing group: Haicheng Opera House
Performing orchestras: Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra, Haicheng Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra.

After seeing the ticket, Professor Li Anguo was stunned. He looked at Chen Qiu in disbelief and couldn't help but speak.

"Was your performance over there a success?"

"Not yet, but soon."

Chen Qiu shook his head, then smiled at Li Anguo.

"I have almost finished adjusting the vocal group's performance. In a few days, they will be able to cooperate with our orchestra and officially perform. Therefore, we plan to set a schedule for ourselves. Before the first audition, we need to get the orchestra, opera, and stage ready to go, and then let you guys come for a trial performance."

“This one’s only been a few months…”

Professor Li Anguo murmured.

His whole brain was a little confused.

He felt that he and Chen Qiu had only been discussing the opera for a few days, but Chen Qiu had already come up with this set with the people from the orchestra, preparing to start the first trial performance and seek external opinions.

He pinched his eyebrows and nodded to Chen Qiu.

"Okay, I understand. I will be there as scheduled. I wish you a smooth performance. Then, you can bring the people in your band to rehearse at school at any time, or bring the people from school to your band. You don't need to tell me."

"Okay, I'll just rely on your good advice, Professor Li Anguo."

Chen Qiu said with a smile.

He waved to Professor Li Anguo, then turned and left Professor Li Anguo's office.

At the door, Qin Xian and the young man Zhang Yu were already standing there.

Seeing Chen Qiu coming out, Zhang Yu couldn't wait to speak.

"Commander Chen Qiu, how about that? Does Professor Li agree?"

"of course."

Chen Qiu smiled and nodded at Zhang Yu, then raised his fist, looked at Qin Xian beside him, and smiled at him.

"Then, Chief Qin Xian, this performance depends on you. Don't let me down."

"Well, you won't be disappointed, Commander Chen Qiu."

Qin Xian raised his fist and collided with Chen Qiu.
