The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 322 No, wait, so you are a top student?

Everything was just as Chen Qiu, Qin Xian and others had guessed.

When the orchestra announced that it would join the school's welcome party as an official performance team, not only people at Haiyin were excited, but people from other places were also excited.

The Harmony Symphony Orchestra is one of the hottest bands in Haicheng recently.

Their flash mob was more than just having hundreds of thousands of views online.

Their performance was even used by Haicheng officials as a promotion for the Haicheng Hongqiao Hub. It was placed on the homepage of their official public account and official website, and promoted to many people who came to Haicheng from various places.

They are promoted to the outside world as the label of "youth" of the city of Haicheng.

Although it did not attract many people to check in at Hongqiao Hub specifically for the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, it made Haicheng and Hongqiao Hub a memorable point in the hearts of many people.

In fact, because the flash mob performances of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra include both domestic and foreign works, the coverage is wider than other performances. Flash mob also represents young and foreign culture.

For various reasons like these, the Haicheng authorities also reposted their performance video and welcomed many people to visit Haicheng.

For a time, the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra became increasingly popular in Haicheng, and even felt like it was unrivaled.

This also made their next performance attract more attention.

However, because tickets for the Harmony Symphony Orchestra's recent performances are basically sold out, and some subsequent performances are obviously different from the Harmony Symphony Orchestra they imagined, there is no way to buy them.

Therefore, many people can only pay attention to some other activities of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

Originally, they thought that the Harmony Symphony Orchestra might organize another flash mob-like event somewhere else, but they didn't expect that the Harmony Symphony Orchestra would hold a welcome party.

Now the whole Haicheng is bustling with activity.

After all, normally the Haicheng Conservatory of Music's welcome party would not be fully booked and would be open to the public.

Since the Harmony Symphony Orchestra is coming, the piece they will play is the Yellow River Concerto, which is familiar to many Chinese people.

Who can contain their inner excitement now?
So everyone who was interested in the Harmony Symphony Orchestra started to use their connections to see if they could find some people at the Haicheng Conservatory of Music to see if they could get tickets for the performance.

After all, the venue for the Harmony Symphony Orchestra's performance is at Haiyin. If they can't get tickets there, they really don't know where else they can get tickets.

Although Haiyin anticipated that when the Harmony Symphony Orchestra officially announced their performance information, their consultation office might be flooded with calls, and even many teachers would come to them to ask for the opportunity to enter the venue.

But I never expected that this place would be so explosive?

Turning a student welcome party into a small star-chasing event?

Is this the strength of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra?

Some people in the school administration office began to feel overwhelmed as they looked at the applications piling up in their hands and the "acquaintances" who occasionally found their mobile phone numbers from various places.

They quickly began to count how many spots could be freed up in total.

After confirming the number of people who could be released, they discovered helplessly.

Judging from the current number of people, basically only one out of two people can enter.

Now that there are so many people who were found through connections, they can’t figure out how to fit all of them into the concert hall no matter how hard they try.

Looking at the increasing number of applications, they hesitated for a long time and finally made a decision.

Since everyone wants to come, just reject all applications.

It is better to offend everyone than to offend some of them.

If you offend everyone, it means you have offended no one.

If anyone wants to come to the concert or performance, just apply on the official website and then enter the lottery.

Thinking of this, the road suddenly became wider.

The people in Haiyin's administrative department also began to get busy with the welcome party, which was originally not important.

No matter what, this party is going to be a hit.

They should also contribute something to this party.

At the very least, make the party look presentable, and not make it look like a makeshift troupe with only the Harmony Symphony Orchestra standing out.

Therefore, under the operation of the administrative department, the entire Haiyin fell into a busy state.

And the members of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, under the leadership of Chen Qiu and Qin Xian, began to rehearse the content of the Yellow River.

Unfortunately, other people cannot see the rehearsal process of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

If they really saw Chen Qiu and the others rehearsing, they would definitely cheer loudly.

"Fuck!"

In this way, the Harmony Symphony Orchestra is indeed the most capable symphony orchestra under Chen Qiu.

When Qin Xian and Chen Qiu decided to perform Yellow River, they distributed the vocal scores of the work on the first night and began the first sight-reading rehearsal.

After the overall rehearsal, all members of the orchestra rehearsed individually according to their parts.

After finishing the vocal part practice, I started practicing alone.

The next day the orchestra continued to practice alone. In addition to practicing alone, they also organized and rehearsed the performance repertoire for this weekend.

Then the third day.

After finishing the individual practice, go through the part practice again. After going through the part three times, there will be basically no problem with the part, and then start practicing the whole part.

By the third night, the orchestra had finished playing the huge "Yellow River Concerto", which lasted nearly an hour.

Apart from some missing details, they are basically ready to go out and perform.

No one knows exactly how they did it.

Even some professional symphony orchestras may not be able to reach the speed of the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

Of course, this does not apply to those who have performed the Yellow River Concerto before.

When the orchestra academy in the school had been rehearsing for more than two weeks and had not yet completed it, the Harmony Symphony Orchestra that came after them had already completed all the content, and began to join the orchestra and start practicing with the group of people from the orchestra academy.

For a moment, the people in the orchestra academy felt mixed emotions.

Although they wanted to convince themselves that the Harmony Symphony Orchestra had previously planned to perform the "Yellow River Concerto", maybe they were just here to show off.

But when I saw how sensitive the people in the band were to music, and how they could change the content of their performance at any time according to Chen Qiu's requirements.

They then became a little clearer.

The strength of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra is really that strong.

Perhaps, the Harmony Symphony Orchestra took about a week to rehearse a complete set of works.

For a time, many people who wanted to join the Harmony Symphony Orchestra after graduation couldn't help but have some thoughts of backing out.

They are already feeling the pressure here at the orchestra academy. When they actually get to the harmony symphony orchestra, won't they be so busy that they die?

Chen Qiu didn't have any idea about what this group of people were thinking.

For Chen Qiu, in the early days of the band, he didn't need so many people just eating for free.

He won't hire anyone who doesn't have the ability to keep up with the orchestra, even if it means working for free.

Although many people are now criticizing the wolf-like team, the Harmony Symphony Orchestra that Chen Qiu founded is intended to be a wolf-like team.

Wolves just want to eat meat.

A wolf that does not eat meat is nothing more than a pack of dogs.

As long as the band can make money, Chen Qiu is willing to take out all the income and feed it to everyone in the band, so that they can live comfortably besides showing off their musical talents.

Even if the orchestra doesn't make any money, or even runs at a loss, Chen Qiu will never let the performers lose a cent of the orchestra's share.

Even if the orchestra makes a loss, it has to make up for the loss to the members.

After all, the band's loss was his own problem, not the band members' problem.

If the band members fulfill their obligations perfectly, then I will naturally also need to fulfill my obligations as the band leader and band manager.

The band members trusted Chen Qiu, just as Chen Qiu trusted them. The band's rehearsal continued.

Because the news that the Harmony Symphony Orchestra announced that it would join the welcome party also began to ferment.

It's not just the external part, there's also the internal part.

Many performances chose to temporarily leave the New Year's Eve stage because of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

After all, performing on the same stage with the Harmony Symphony Orchestra is quite stressful.

Many people originally just wanted to show off in front of their juniors and tell them what a senior is, but they never thought of becoming a joke themselves.

Likewise, some people who originally had no intention of performing, when they saw the Harmony Symphony Orchestra coming, they felt that such a stage should be worthy of their own performance, so they began to replace some people.

The repertoire of the performance changes every day.

Every day someone chooses to exit, and every day someone chooses to enter.

In addition to leading the Harmony Symphony Orchestra to the welcome party, Chen Qiu also took them to rehearse with the Haicheng Opera House.

Everyone is busy with their own things.

And time finally came to the day of the performance.

Although time has changed from summer to winter and the weather has become much cooler, the group of people who are undergoing military training in the school still cannot feel much cool breeze.

The scorching sun still made them sweat profusely.

Chen Qiu walked past the school gate with a suitcase. Looking at the group of freshmen in the school who were sweating profusely, he couldn't help but laugh and said to Qin Xian.

"It's true that watching others suffer is more satisfying. It's a pity that I didn't bring a watermelon or something. Otherwise, I could sit by and eat a watermelon while watching them bask in the sun. It would feel more satisfying."

"Watermelon doesn't seem to be very tasty now, but it's still okay to make some ice cream or something."

Qin Xian held his violin and nodded beside Chen Qiu.

"How about I ask Li Miaomiao to buy some for me later? And share some with the people in the band?"

"You don't have to buy any. I remember there are a lot of them in the refrigerator in the band lounge. We can just ask them to bring some over later."

Chen Qiu said with a smile.

Fortunately, the group of freshmen in military uniforms standing over there could not hear the conversation between Chen Qiu and the other person.

If they heard it, they might rush up and beat them to death.

Chen Qiu and Qin Xian chatted and laughed as they arrived near Haiyin's concert hall. After greeting the management of the concert hall, they walked into the concert hall.

After they put their things down under the stage, they started to put stools on the stage.

Looking at the empty concert hall, Chen Qiu couldn't help but smile at Qin Xian.

"By the way, do you still remember? It was in this place that I asked you to play out your feelings, but you couldn't play it for a long time? If you hadn't shown your strength that time, I might have really let you go."

"Didn't my performance in the competition in Haicheng go well? I was the one who saved the orchestra at that time."

Qin Xian walked onto the stage, picked up the violin in his hand, plucked it a few times, and then chuckled at Chen Qiu.

"But it's true. I probably reached a dead end at that time. I always felt that I had no feeling at all when playing music. Even the performance could not be considered a performance. It should be called completing a task. If Chen Qiu hadn't directed you, I would probably have dropped out of school and returned home by now, right?"

"Drop out of school and go home? What? Repeat your senior year? Is it too late?"

Chen Qiu pushed the command desk over, leaned against it, and asked Qin Xian with a smile.

"I feel like if you really want to repeat the course, you might have to start from the second year of high school. There's nothing new in the third year of high school, it's just review."

"Commander Chen Qiu, don't you know that I'm from Jiangzhou?" Qin Xian smiled at Chen Qiu, raised his eyebrows and said softly.

"Jiangzhou scored 480 points in the college entrance examination, and I scored 387 points. The college admission score line for the Double Holidays that year was 388. If I didn't study music, I could probably go to Renmin University of China or Haicheng University of Finance and Economics. If I repeat the year, I think I can get 400 points and touch the Beijing-Museum line."

"?"

There was something wrong with the way Chen Qiu looked at Qin Xian.

According to his memory, his college entrance examination score seemed to be just barely above the first-tier line. If he had not come to Haicheng Conservatory of Music, he would not have been able to go to the schools Qin Xian mentioned unless he applied to join a high-level art troupe.

Then, not only did Qin Xian get into the most competitive violin department, but his academic performance was even good enough to touch the level of Keijo University and Mizuki University?
What the hell is this human being?
But Qin Xian didn't have any idea. He just put the chair aside and said.

"But besides me, there are a few others in our orchestra who have good high school grades. I talked to them during military training before. Everyone was originally comparing who had the lowest score. As they were comparing, they asked about Xu Shuwen. It was said that Xu Shuwen scored 673 in the college entrance examination, which was said to be enough to enter Beijing University. The others were scared and kept silent. No one knew why she was so crazy to study music."

Chen Qiu: "..."

Qin Xian sighed, "But the one with the highest score is probably Xu Shuwen. Yuefu and Li Miaomiao's high school scores are also okay, but I heard they are just above the ordinary first-tier line. As for the others, the lowest one I remember is Ai Gu, who got in with the music score, and Rui Jia barely got in with the second-tier line. I'm not sure about the others."

“Not bad…”

The corners of Chen Qiu's mouth twitched.

He really didn't expect that Xu Shuwen, who was silent and always reading a book, was such a top student.

Is this the strength of a top student?

Chen Qiu could only say, "It's so horrible."

He shook his head and continued to arrange the stools.

Soon, Yuefu and Xu Shuwen came to the concert hall, greeted Chen Qiu, and returned to their seats.

Xu Shuwen seemed to feel that Chen Qiu was staring at him, and he couldn't help but tilt his head slightly in confusion and said to Chen Qiu.

"Commander Chen Qiu, what's going on? Why are you staring at me?"

"No, I just feel a little emotional. I didn't expect you to be such a top student."

Chen Qiu sighed with great emotion, then smiled and shook his head at Xu Shuwen.

"Forget it, it's okay, don't take it to heart. I was just a little surprised when I heard Qin Xian talk about your results."

"score?"

Xu Shuwen glanced at Qin Xian behind him, smiled helplessly, and shook his head at Chen Qiu.

"I have loved cello since I was a child, and I originally wanted to study music. Plus, my grades are just barely above the admission line of Beijing University, so I can't go into any good majors, so conductor Chen Qiu, don't think too much."

"6"

If it weren’t for Qin Xian, Chen Qiu really wouldn’t have known that he had such a big boss under his command.

But fortunately, the orchestra speaks with music, and no matter how good your academic performance is, you will not receive any special treatment.

When Le Fu heard that his boyfriend Xu Shuwen had such good grades in high school, he couldn't hide the smile on his face and looked very awesome.

While Xu Shuwen and the others from the Yuefu were cleaning up the stage, the other people in the orchestra also came into the concert hall. After saying hello to Chen Qiu, Qin Xian and the others, they sat in their seats and began to practice.

Not just some of the guys in the band, but some of the guys involved in other shows.

As time passed, more and more people gathered in the concert hall. After everyone arrived, the school staff began to arrange rehearsals and walk-throughs.

Once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

The morning's rehearsal is considered a completed rehearsal, and as for the afternoon, it's basically about seeing if the process is correct and whether there will be any unexpected problems.

During the lunch break, Li Miaomiao and Qin Xian returned to the orchestra's residence and brought some popsicles to everyone.

When the military training started at school in the afternoon, a group of people went to the freshmen with popsicles and sucked them, which almost caused a riot among the freshmen.

After being criticized and reprimanded by the teachers and instructors, everyone returned to the concert hall dejectedly, turned on the air conditioner, and waited for the evening performance to begin.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In order to prevent himself from having any problems at night, Yan Yiyi also rehearsed the performance twice.

Finally, it was around six in the afternoon.

After the military training was over, all the freshmen had dinner, took a short rest, and then came to the concert hall with a group of passers-by from outside the school.
