The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 327 Cheer for me, cheer for me, cheer!

Yan Yi felt like crying but had no tears when he heard the applause and cheers around him.

He clearly felt that his performance was very good, and he even had the illusion that he was carrying the band throughout the entire show, but why was there no one cheering for him?

Oh no, it seems there is.

Yan Yiyi seemed to see his girlfriend cheering and applauding for him there.

But besides your girlfriend, is there anyone else?

Yan Yiyi's expression was full of confusion. He tried hard to listen to the cheers of those people, trying to find his own share in the cheers.

However, before he could find his cheer, Chen Qiu walked up to him and held out his hand.

"Congratulations, you played well."

"Eh? Chen Qiu is in charge?"

Yan Yiyi's attention was immediately attracted by Chen Qiu.

When he heard Chen Qiu's praise of him, an irrepressible smile immediately broke out on his face. He quickly stood up, held Chen Qiu's hands with both hands, bowed deeply and nodded to Chen Qiu.

"Thank you, Conductor Chen Qiu. Thank you, Conductor Chen Qiu, for giving me this opportunity. I can play so beautifully."

"It's not me, it's your own efforts. You did a good job."

Chen Qiu looked at Yan Yiyi with a smile, stretched out his other hand, patted his shoulder as if to encourage a subordinate, and said to him with a smile.

"But you still need to change your habit of being good at civil wars but not good at foreign wars. You should participate in more foreign competitions instead of staying in school all day to show off. Once you fix this trait, I'm afraid that when you go out and find a job, everyone will say that you are the civil war phantom Yan Yiyi."

"Yeah, I want to, too, but I don't know what's wrong with me. There are always problems with every performance. To be honest, if possible, who wouldn't want to be a phantom god of war?"

Yan Yiyi said with a bitter face.

But soon, after he heard the faint sound of "Yan Yi is awesome" behind his ears, the bitterness on his face suddenly dissipated a lot, and he said to Chen Qiu with a beaming smile.

"But then again, after this performance, I should no longer be considered the Phantom God of Civil War, right? To some extent, I should be considered to have gotten rid of that title? After all, I cooperated so well with you, Director Chen Qiu, in this performance!"

"Um……"

Chen Qiu was silent.

He looked at the group of freshmen who were cheering for them and the jubilant Yan Yiyi, and he felt that it would be better not to undermine Yan Yiyi's confidence.

Judging from the cheers at the scene, Chen Qiu felt that Yan Yiyi’s title of Civil War God might be more solid.

Chen Qiu thought about it and said to Yan Yi with a smile.

"Yeah, that's true. If your future performances can be as strong as they are now, maybe you can really get the title of the Civil War God."

"Hehe, then I'm starting to look forward to that day."

Yan Yi scratched his head with a silly smile, then turned around, walked to Qin Xian, and extended his hand to him. The two of them shook hands briefly and thanked each other for the performance. Then he walked to the edge of the stage.

He no longer cared if anyone was calling his name.

Anyway, he has already finished his performance and he is also the hero of this show, so just cheer for him.

He stood in front of the stage, raised his hands high, waved at the crowd below the stage, and cheered.

"Come on, come on, everyone, cheer for me! Shout out louder, Yan Yiyi, awesome!"

"Ohhhhhh! Yan Yiyi is awesome!"

The group of freshmen under the stage joined in the fun with Yan Yiyi.

Chen Qiu raised his eyebrows when he saw Yan Yiyi's excited look, walked to the side, poked Qin Xian with his elbow, and smiled at him.

"This performance was great. The string section was beautifully done."

"It's actually not bad."

Qin Xian put away the violin in his hand, smiled and nodded at Chen Qiu, then spoke.

"In fact, other parts of this performance did more, such as the Ai drum at the beginning, Xu Shuwen in the second movement, the flute in the third movement, who seems to be called Song Ge, and the wind instruments in the fourth movement. They are the core of the orchestra, and our violins did not do much."

"Tsk, your violin is the core, don't be so self-deprecating. Don't think I didn't hear the preparation you made for the other instruments with your violin. Without your preparation, they simply couldn't play to that effect."

Chen Qiu complained to Qin Xian.

Seeing Qin Xian's expression of unwillingness, Chen Qiu could only spread his hands helplessly and said to Qin Xian.

"But in this concerto, I feel that Yan Yiyi performed normally. If he still performed the same as before, and something went wrong in the middle of the performance, I feel like even the gods could not save him."

"After all, Yan Yiyi is still a master in our school. His original strength is very good."

Qin Xian chuckled.

Just as he was about to say something, the cheers from Yan Yiyi's side had already ended.

He turned sideways and motioned to the band members to join him in accepting the audience's cheers.

Chen Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly, patted Qin Xian on the shoulder, walked forward, went to the edge of the stage and bowed slightly to the audience.

There was a sudden burst of noise from under the stage.

This was a louder voice than the one Yan Yiyi had just tricked the freshmen into cheering for him.

Listening to the noise around him, Yan Yiyi's face first showed a hint of jealousy, but soon, the jealousy turned into helplessness.

I am really envious. I am so envious that Chen Qiu can receive so many cheers.

But when he thought of Chen Qiu's strength and appeal, the thoughts in his mind dissipated a lot.

He was very clear that many of the people under the stage came for Chen Qiu, not for him.

So it's normal to get a louder voice than him.

After bowing to thank the audience, Chen Qiu, like Yan Yiyi, did not leave the stage directly. Instead, he returned to the podium and waved his hand to Qin Xian and others beside him, signaling them to take their bows.

Qin Xian and others stood up, bringing a new round of applause.

Then came the cello players Xu Shuwen and others, the double bass players Rui Jia and others, the brass players, and the woodwind players.

Just after Chen Qiu asked everyone to stand up and take a bow, he saw a group of people on the stage who looked familiar to him and were staring at him eagerly. Then he remembered that there was a viola in their orchestra.

Therefore, Chen Qiu could only give them an apologetic smile and gesture for them to stand up.

In order to express his apology, Chen Qiu specially introduced the viola to the audience below the stage.

First, the principal viola player, who was their leader, called out, called out, called out...

Probably, perhaps, possibly...his name is Wu Ming?
Chen Qiu was suddenly speechless, and for a moment he couldn't remember what the principal viola player was called. He could only cough lightly, skip this part, and let the audience applaud the viola, thus ending the performance.

The crowd's applause continued until Chen Qiu and others left the stage, and some of the musicians who had performed previously also came on stage to take their bows.

Rui Jia also changed from holding a huge double bass to holding an electric bass, running around on the stage.

Every time she appeared on stage, she was cheered by the crowd.

The flags of Rui Jia's fan club fluttered in the audience, making Rui Jia feel a little socially depressed. She even didn't want to go on stage to take a bow and wished she could just go home and sleep.

But he is different from Rui Jia who tends to be introverted.

The Ai drum seems much more flamboyant.

He didn't even leave the stage, but stood in the middle of the stage, allowing all the bands that collaborated with him to come up one by one.

He stood in the middle of the stage, wearing a tight shirt, and then tensed his muscles to make them stand out, showing them to the group of younger students below the stage.

Although it was not clear why many of the female students had no interest in him, they looked away after taking a look and chatted quietly with the classmates next to them, while the male students cheered loudly every time he changed his moves, as if they wanted to go on stage to interact with him and touch his chest muscles.

But I guess, those schoolgirls must have just graduated from high school and are still a little shy, so they dare not look at his muscles, right?
I feel that this performance, thanks to my relationship with the harmony symphony orchestra next to the school, will help me

When Ai Gu thought of this place, the smile on his face became even more intense. He changed a few moves again, causing the group of younger students under the stage to cheer a few more times.

Seeing Ai Gu showing off his muscles like that, the smiles on the faces of some school leaders gradually disappeared, and they became a little embarrassed.

Some leaders shook their heads, sighed a few times, said "it's immoral", "we don't understand young people's things", and then got up and left.

Some other people also looked away and started discussing school matters with the people around them.

There seem to be some words like "dismissal", "criticism through notification", and "serious handling".

It could be directed at Ai Gu, or it could be just a casual chat.

But anyway, for them.

Ai Gu's tight short-sleeved shirt...is no different from being naked.

It's really too terrible to look at.

……

But no matter what, this freshman concert can basically be considered a successful ending, apart from Ai Gu's indecent muscle show at the end.

Each musician showed their strength, not only to the newcomers in the school, but also to some passers-by outside the school. Among the music lovers in Haicheng, a group of people have begun to actively promote the Harmony Symphony Orchestra or the Haicheng Conservatory of Music.

Although it will not produce much qualitative change, it is still a better advertisement for Haicheng Conservatory of Music.

Now almost everyone knows that in Haiyin, there is a young, handsome and charismatic conductor, Chen Qiu.

Ruijia is a little shy and likes to hide behind her instrument, but she is very serious about playing the instrument.

The taciturn but powerful orchestra leader, Qin Xian.

as well as……

The chief percussionist, Ai Gu, likes to show off his muscles and looks like a muscular man, with big breasts and no brains.

Well, although Ai Gu’s reputation doesn’t seem to be very good, to be honest, because of the label of big-breasted and brainless girl, Ai Gu has indeed attracted a lot of fans.

They came here specifically just to see what this legendary big-breasted and brainless girl is like.

Ai Gu expressed his distress about this.

After his subsequent performances with the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, every time he came out, there was a crowd of people surrounding him.

He originally thought that this group of people wanted to come to him and ask for his autograph because his performance was so great.

But he never expected that this group of people came over to touch his chest muscles.

There was also a group of people who asked him which gym he was in and wanted to work out with him.

Seeing this group of people going crazy, Ai Gu felt...

I may really have to be like the legendary big star, wearing sunglasses and a mask when I go out.

Although I do think that one day I can become a big star and I will have to hide from strangers when I go out.

But that's not how you become a star, right?
Ai Gu wanted to cry but had no tears.

Everyone in the band was laughing at the joke.

But no matter what, ticket sales for the orchestra have become easier and simpler.

Compared to before when the occupancy rate would occasionally drop to 8%, now it can basically maintain a minimum of 8%, and if you are lucky, you can even sell all the tickets.

I just don’t know how many of these people came here for Ai Gu’s chest muscles.

But...

It doesn't matter.

Anyway, the tickets have been sold, and the orchestra has money to pay the musicians' salaries and so on.

Just bear with Ai Gu for a bit.

Chen Qiu happily looked at the band weekly report sent by Li Miaomiao.

However, compared to the higher attention received by Ai Gu, Chen Qiu is actually more concerned about another thing.

That is……

The cultural department of Haicheng Municipal Government began to discuss cooperation with Chen Qiu and others.

Simply put, because the performance of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra has become increasingly outstanding, it can rank among the top five in Haicheng.

Taking into account that another symphony orchestra has disbanded and merged, the top four in Haicheng are Haicheng Symphony Orchestra, Haicheng Opera House Symphony Orchestra, Haicheng Philharmonic Orchestra, Haicheng Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra, and Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

Since there are only two or three months left before the Musicians Magazine rankings for this year are released, it will basically be no problem for the Harmony Symphony Orchestra to get into the top five, and it will also be no problem for it to enter the top 100 in the country, and it may even have a chance to enter the top four in Haicheng.

Therefore, the cultural department decided to cooperate with Haicheng Conservatory of Music, and both parties booked some tickets for the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra.

Simply put, they are student discount tickets and people-friendly tickets.

If people from Haicheng Conservatory of Music come to buy tickets for the entrance of Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra, sit in the most remote area, or have not sold out, all students can buy them for 10 yuan.

Haicheng Conservatory of Music will subsidize part of the money to the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

Create a win-win model for all three parties.

As for the people-friendly tickets, it is even simpler, that is, there is a discount.

Anyone who purchases tickets for the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra through the Haicheng Cultural Department can enjoy a 9% discount.

Naturally, part of this money comes from the cultural department.

The Harmony Symphony Orchestra also needs to pay some price, but it is not much.

Considering the traffic brought by the people-friendly tickets, this money is just a small matter.

Li Miaomiao held the report in her hand and said this to Chen Qiu.

Chen Qiu nodded slowly and asked Li Miaomiao.

"Speaking of which, after we got these things here, how is the ticket purchase rate?"

"Well……"

Li Miaomiao's expression was a little conflicted. After thinking for a long time, she hesitated and said.

"The purchase rate has indeed increased, and the ticket revenue is also higher, but it seems that there are too many students? Because of the previous performance at Haicheng Conservatory of Music, our orchestra's popularity has been completely raised at Haicheng Conservatory of Music. Therefore, many of our subsequent performances, stand tickets and marginal tickets were sold to students. Many people can only buy more expensive tickets, so some people were discouraged."

"That's it..."

Chen Qiu nodded but did not comment.

This is not really a problem.

After all, the band's current pricing is still based on the low-price, high-volume model.

When the orchestra's reputation grows and it becomes one of the top five symphony orchestras in Haicheng, Chen Qiu will adjust the orchestra's prices again and set different ticket prices for different performances.

After all, they are definitely going to become a world-famous group in the future.

Although there is nothing wrong with low-priced tickets for some of their performances, if they are sold at low prices, it will always have some impact on their reputation.

Thinking of this, Chen Qiu nodded slightly and said to Li Miaomiao.

"Okay, as long as the band continues to make a profit, we can deal with the rest later."

"Yeah, I'll keep an eye on it!"

Li Miaomiao nodded vigorously.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Qin Xian pushed the door open and walked in.

He looked at Li Miaomiao, who was standing there holding a folder in her hand, with a slightly hesitant expression, and said to Chen Qiu.

"Are you talking about something?"

"We just finished a discussion and looked at the orchestra's recent business situation. If nothing unexpected happens, your salary for next month can be increased a little."

Chen Qiu said to Qin Xian with a smile.

He stood up, picked up the coat on the back of the chair casually, and said to Qin Xian.

"What? Do you want to talk to Li Miaomiao about something?"

"Do not."

Qin Xian glanced at Li Miaomiao, then retracted his gaze and said to Chen Qiu.

"Someone from the Haicheng Opera House came to me and told me to tell you that the background of the opera has been completely rebuilt. For our first collaboration, we should be able to use the background directly instead of just performing with nothing. He asked me to ask you to go over there and watch the stage show."

"Okay, let's go then."

Chen Qiu nodded, put on his clothes, and walked past Qin Xian.

Then he seemed to have thought of something and smiled at Li Miaomiao.

"Oh, by the way, Li Miaomiao, you should come along too. After all, we'll need you to look at some of the contracts for our tour. I don't really understand these things."

Li Miaomiao's eyes lit up, she glanced at Qin Xian, and then nodded vigorously.

"Okay! No problem! Chen Qiu is in command!"

"Well, very energetic!"

Chen Qiu smiled and glanced at the two people behind him, reached out to push open the door, stepped out, and said slowly.

"Then let's go see what kind of surprise the Haicheng Opera House has prepared for us!"
