The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 323 Emperor
Six-thirty.

The sky was still bright and had not yet completely darkened.

Everyone in Haicheng Conservatory of Music was wearing military training T-shirts. They walked into the concert hall of Haicheng Conservatory of Music, chatting and laughing with others around them, and sat down at random.

Together with them, there are many other people from society.

In order to not be too different from the people from Haicheng Conservatory of Music, the group of people from society all wore simple short-sleeved shirts and shorts, or sweatshirts, and followed the flow of people into the concert hall.

The entire concert hall was filled with noise, and everyone was discussing tonight's performance.

While Feng Zicai was discussing his previous competition abroad with others around him, he also talked about his experience of seeing the Harmony Symphony Orchestra perform just after returning to China, which made everyone around him envious.

A boy who was playing the violin sitting there spoke with a hint of jealousy.

"Feng Zicai, you are so lucky, aren't you? After the overseas competition, you will have the opportunity to see the performance of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, which has been very popular in Haicheng recently. Many of us have applied to the school before, but the school has not agreed. You should be the only one in your freshman year who can see the performance of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, right?"

"Hahaha, not only me, but also some people from the Central Conservatory of Music saw the performance. I originally wanted to bring them to play in Haicheng, but I didn't expect to see the flash mob of the Harmony Symphony. Hehe, even thinking about it now feels so good."

Feng Zicai didn't care about the jealousy of others around him at all and laughed happily.

He said to the people around him with a beaming smile.

"You may not know, but I was originally thinking about getting off the plane and going home early, but who could have thought that I would see the Harmony Symphony Orchestra right after getting off the plane. You say I'm so lucky, hehe, let me tell you, I saw that there was only Senior Sister Rui Jia over there, and I was thinking, whose little brat is so petite and cute, but doesn't even have a piano, wuwuwu..."

Before he finished speaking, the other people around him covered his mouth and shook their heads vigorously.

Looking at Feng Zicai's confused look, the people around him covered his mouth and whispered.

"Hush, don't say that. I'm telling you, Senior Rui Jia has a wide network of contacts in school. There's even a Rui Jia fan club, and they sell Rui Jia peripherals. If you slander Senior Rui Jia here, you'll be in trouble from the fan club."

"Huh? So scary?"

Feng Zicai looked at the serious expressions of the people around him, and after making sure that they were not joking, he couldn't help feeling a little scared. He glanced around and found that no one was looking at him, so he patted his chest and whispered.

"Anyway, senior Rui Jia was standing alone in the middle of the hub, as if she was isolated from the world, playing the bass. The other seniors joined in one by one. It was really cool to see their voices blend together seamlessly. I really don't know how they rehearsed. And to be honest, the live performance was even better than the recording on the phone! I listened to it and it was definitely not dubbed in post-production!"

"The person who should be rehearsing is Senior Chen Qiu. Senior Chen Qiu is indeed very capable."

Another person nearby who was said to be learning bassoon nodded in agreement.

He expressed special emotion to others.

"I feel that without Senior Chen Qiu, there would be no Harmony Symphony Orchestra. Senior Chen Qiu's strength is really obvious to all. To be honest, I am really looking forward to the performance of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra more and more. I heard that they will perform Yellow River tonight. I am really looking forward to it."

"I heard that the piano part is played by Yan Yiyi. The school seems to have a mediocre reputation for Yan Yiyi. Many people say that he held the school back when performing outside, so I am a little worried that he will hold back this time as well."

"Even if he is a drag, his ability shouldn't be that bad, right? If it is really that bad, Senior Chen Qiu probably won't even give him a chance to perform. Even if he doesn't trust Yan Yiyi, he should at least trust Senior Chen Qiu, right?"

"makes sense……"

The chatter of the crowd began, and the topic gradually shifted from the previous flash mob to the orchestra.

They didn't notice at all that Yan Yiyi had just walked past them.

Yan Yiyi just went out to the cafeteria to get something to eat. After eating, he followed the crowd into the concert hall, intending to walk directly into the backstage from the side.

But I didn't expect that everyone in the school was discussing me.

It’s just that we are not discussing how awesome and great his performance is, or promoting his reputation.

Instead, they were discussing something here, like his performance was not good and he might be a drag on the orchestra or something like that.

He felt very upset after hearing this.

He always thought that he was not as bad as others said. How did he become the target of public criticism for no apparent reason?
He stood at the edge of the concert hall and touched his chest, thighs, arms, ankles and wrists.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, he let out a long sigh of relief.

No matter what, there should be nothing wrong with my health, so I should be able to perform again, right?
Yan Yiyi comforted himself like this.

He quickly jumped a few steps on the spot and walked to the backstage of the concert hall while no one was paying attention.

Many people who were going to perform today were waiting there, chatting about something while waiting.

Yan Yiyi walked through the crowd and headed towards the orchestra at the back.

The orchestra is the finale of the evening, so it is natural that they should be the last to perform.

When he walked over to the orchestra, Chen Qiu was already there chatting and laughing with everyone in the orchestra.

Chen Qiu noticed Yan Yiyi out of the corner of his eye, waved at him with a smile, and asked.

"Hey, Yan Yiyi, you're here? Have you finished dinner? How are you feeling? Nothing can go wrong today, right? We're all waiting for you."

"It shouldn't happen, right?"

Yan Yiyi's originally determined gaze softened as he looked at Chen Qiu, and he hesitated.

"I don't feel anything, so there shouldn't be any problems with the performance. When we actually perform, probably, maybe, possibly, there won't be any problems, right?"

He couldn't help but whispered.

There was hesitation in his tone.

He wasn't quite sure if he could perform successfully in the future.

After all, it's just like what others said.

He had caused too much trouble for the school and the orchestra before.

Even if he really feels that there is no problem with his performance, he will still be nervous before going on stage.

This psychological problem, which normally only happens to beginners, actually happened to him.

Feeling the tension in his heart, Yan Yiyi's heart couldn't help but sink slowly.

However, just as he was about to say something, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

He looked up and found Chen Qiu looking at him with a smile.

"Don't be nervous, this is just a welcome party. Normally, this is for freshmen to show off their abilities. In other words, this is for seniors to attract younger students. You already have a partner, so what are you afraid of, right?"

"Ah? Yeah, uh... no? Right...right?"

Chen Qiu's words burned up Yan Yiyi's CPU.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with what Chen Qiu said.

Showing off your talents at the welcome party can indeed attract a lot of younger classmates, and even help you find your partner.

But... this welcome party seems to be different?

The Harmony Symphony Orchestra will participate in this welcome party, and it is gradually becoming a top-level concert equivalent to the Haicheng Conservatory of Music's external performances, right?

This level has risen by more than one level!

Its nature has changed. How can it still be a performance that attracts the opposite sex like a peacock spreading its feathers?
The corner of Yan Yiyi's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say, but feeling the strength on his shoulders, Yan Yiyi chose to shut up.

After all, no matter what, Chen Qiu's words did give him a lot of strength.

It also gradually calmed his heart.

He took a deep breath and nodded to Chen Qiu.

"Okay, I understand. I will try my best to do everything I can."

He nodded at Chen Qiu with a firm look in his eyes.

While they were chatting, the host walked onto the stage and began to announce the start of the welcome party.

dong dong dong dong!

As the sound of four drums rang out, the lights on the stage lit up instantly.

People from the School of Music Education brought a small rock band called Ai Drum Group as the opening performance, which immediately ignited the whole audience.

The roaring sound of drums and guitars, accompanied by a few screams, the scene was more than just exciting.

The infectious power is at its maximum.

Everyone immediately started to have fun.

Ai Gu was playing the drum set with a smile on his face. From time to time, he winked at some female students under the stage and showed off his muscular muscles, trying to attract their attention.

It’s a pity that their attention was drawn to the lead singer in front of the stage.

He looks so handsome with disheveled hair and a guitar in his hands!
It was so cool and handsome that no one noticed Ai Gu behind him.

of course!

This is just girls.

Ai Gu's seductive eyes and muscular display did not fail to attract everyone.

Many freshmen were attracted by Ai Gu’s muscular body and their eyes were filled with envy.

This muscle, this body.

How long does it take to practice this?
Therefore, every time Ai Gu flirted with the audience, there would be cheers from the audience, making Ai Gu very happy.

It’s a pity that he didn’t know that those who cheered for him were all men.

If he really knew about this, I'm afraid he would regret it right there, and would slap himself in the face when he thought about it in the middle of the night.

After Ai Gu and the band finished their performance, other students soon started their performances.

Not just rock bands, but even jazz bands, soloists, bel canto, drama, opera, musical excerpts, instrumental solos, and chamber orchestras.

All of them.

The level and strength of every band that can stand out is so terrifying that it is outrageous.

Basically, they have reached the top level of university orchestras.

Players like Ai Gu and Rui Jia, who are all-rounders, are more popular.

Every time Ai Gu appears, he receives cheers from a lot of boys.

Every time Rui Jia appears, she not only receives cheers from the boys, but also shouts from many girls.

Some people even took out a Ruijia banner and waved it there, making Ruijia's face turn red. She even wanted to give up some performances.

The entire welcome party was turned into a crazy concert by everyone.

Whether it is popular or niche, you can hear all types of music in this place.

The heritage of Haicheng Conservatory of Music is also fully displayed in this place.

Not only the people on the stage, but also the people under the stage were extremely satisfied with the performance.

To be honest, even if the Harmony Symphony Orchestra didn't show up, you would have to spend dozens of dollars just to listen to such a performance.

Even if you are unlucky, you might end up spending a few hundred dollars in some places with higher premiums.

However, after listening to so many appetizers.

Everyone became more excited about tonight's main course.

After all, they came here tonight to listen to the performance of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

As everyone was expecting, the host came out with a smile, holding the program in his hand, and smiled at his partner beside him.

"Hey! Xiao Wang, do you know the Harmony Symphony Orchestra?"

"Hey, who doesn't know about the Harmony Symphony Orchestra? The Harmony Symphony Orchestra is our school's trump card! Its presence symbolizes that our school has taken another big step forward towards becoming a world-class top music school. Who doesn't know this?"

"Oh? Since you know so much, do you know what kind of music we will hear in this concert hall tonight?"

"Since you asked this, could it be the legendary Harmony Symphony Orchestra?"

"How clever! You guessed it right! It's the Harmony Symphony Orchestra! Next, let us welcome the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, which is composed of students from our school, and the newly established Orchestra Academy of our school, to perform a piece, the Yellow River Piano Concerto! The piano player is Yan Yiyi, the conductor is Chen Qiu, and the principal is Qin Xian! Let's welcome them!"

"welcome!"

The two hosts who were chatting awkwardly walked off the stage, leaving the stage empty.

At this time, many staff members rushed to the stage and began to place the stools that would be needed for the performance.

Chen Qiu stood at the back of the stage, looking at the busy staff with slightly raised eyebrows. He made eye contact with Yan Yiyi, Qin Xian, Zhao Xi, Rui Jia, Ai Gu... and everyone behind him. Seeing the excitement in their hearts, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He turned his head to look at the stage which had been basically tidied up, took out a pencil from his pocket, swung it in the air a few circles, and then it landed steadily in his palm.

He held up the pencil in his hand and smiled at everyone.

"Everyone, I don't want to repeat myself, I'll just say the same thing, trust me..."

"Everything depends on you!"

Everyone shouted at Chen Qiu.

The shouting even reached the audience outside the concert hall, directly drawing the audience's attention to the backstage entrance.

Several hosts were so frightened that they even thought something had gone wrong, so they quickly tried to smooth things over and went backstage to see what was going on.

But before they could enter the backstage, the door was opened.

Members of the orchestra walked out from the backstage and headed towards their seats.

Everyone's face was filled with determination and excitement.

The blood in my body is boiling.

Not only the audience below the stage, but they are also looking forward to tonight's performance.

Under the gaze of everyone, all the members of the orchestra quickly came to their seats and sat down. Qin Xian took two steps forward, walked to the piano, pressed the standard note A on the piano keyboard, then played the violin in his hand, leading the members of the orchestra to tune the piano.

Because it is a piano concerto, the orchestra's tone should be based on the piano, not the oboe.

After all the tuning was completed, everyone put down their instruments.

Quietly waiting for Chen Qiu and Yan Yiyi to appear.

While everyone is waiting.

Chen Qiu stood backstage, looked at Yan Yiyi who was taking deep breaths beside him, reached out and patted him on the back, then pushed him forward two steps.

Before he had time to get angry and express his inner displeasure, Chen Qiu smiled at him.

"What's wrong? Are you still nervous? Didn't I just tell you not to worry, I'll take care of everything? I even told you that this performance is like a peacock spreading its feathers to attract junior high school girls. Why are you still so nervous?"

"You've never failed in a performance before, so how do you know what nervousness is? I've failed several times before, so of course I was nervous!"

The closer the performance got, the more nervous Yan Yiyi became.

The effects of Chen Qiu's previous counseling were much weaker.

However, what he didn't expect was that when he said that Chen Qiu had never failed, Chen Qiu's vision became much more profound.

"How do you know I've never failed?"

"Nonsense, you are a role model for everyone in our school. Each of your experiences is enough to make a novel, and everyone can talk about it. We all know your experience. Tell me, where have you failed?"

"In many places, even in talent."

Chen Qiu let out a long breath, as if to let out the depression in his heart, then smiled and patted Yan Yiyi's shoulder again, smiling at him.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, you believe that I have failed before, but it doesn't matter. Our lives have only just begun. We still have a very, very long future ahead of us. Who can predict the future? Don't take this performance as everything."

After saying that, Chen Qiu raised his hand and hit the back of Yan Yiyi's head.

"Stop being emo and get ready to go on stage!"

"Oh……"

Looking at Chen Qiu's relaxed look, Yan Yi touched the back of his head and nodded.

Just when he was about to say something else to Chen Qiu, Chen Qiu stepped forward and pushed open the backstage door.

boom!
The lights are flashing!

Thunderous applause!

Under Yan Yiyi's sight.

Everything is submitting to Chen Qiu.

Like an emperor ascending his throne!
