The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 341 Haicheng No.!!!
After hearing Chen Qiu's words, everyone immediately surrounded Chen Qiu, rubbing his head or shoulders affectionately to express their love.

Professor Li Anguo touched his chin, nodded with satisfaction, then opened the magazine, opened the report about the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra, and smiled at everyone.

"Okay, stop messing around, let's first take a look at what Musicians Magazine has to say about the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra this year."

"That's right, I'm waiting for this!"

"Hurry up, Li Anguo!"

Someone nearby immediately spoke up.

The room, which had seemed a little noisy, suddenly became much quieter.

Everyone quietly surrounded Chen Qiu and Professor Li Anguo, looking at him expectantly, waiting for the evaluation from the musician magazine.

Li Anguo did not pretend to be pretentious.

After clearing his throat slightly, he spoke to the crowd.

“Although the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra is a new symphony orchestra established in the fall of this year, the origin of this symphony orchestra can be completely traced back. It is not like the Haicheng Opera House that absorbed a lot of people to reorganize. Therefore, when we evaluate this orchestra, we can never evaluate it in isolation, but should include all its previous achievements and make a comprehensive evaluation!”

Someone beside him nodded immediately.

"Sure enough, this is why the Harmony Symphony Orchestra took third place!"

"Stop talking nonsense and keep listening!"

Someone on the other side hit him to quiet him down.

Professor Li Anguo looked at them helplessly and continued reading.

“Therefore, after we incorporate the situation of the predecessor of the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra, the Haicheng Conservatory of Music Harmony Symphony Orchestra, we can clearly see the development trajectory of the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

This is a very strong and interesting symphony orchestra. They first defeated the Central Conservatory of Music led by Yu Tu and won the national championship. Then they went abroad as representatives of China and won the East Asian exchange championship. At that time, their strength was already very good!
Their real rise to fame was probably the day they returned to Haicheng to formally establish the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra after the East Asian exchange. I clearly remember the soaring scene in the concert hall that day, and I even remember the repertoire they played at that time.

Strong strength and tacit cooperation.

I still miss the works performed by all the orchestra members under the leadership of Chen Qiu, and I look forward to hearing them again someday.

Let me say, if the Haicheng Philharmonic and Haicheng Symphony Orchestra are the representatives of the powerful faction in Haicheng, then the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra may be the representative of the emerging generation!

We originally planned to give the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra a score of around 9 as their final score for the year, but at the end of the year, we found that the score we gave the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra seemed a little too low, because at that time, the opera The Marriage of Figaro, which they performed together with the Haicheng Opera House and the Haicheng Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra, was officially staged! "

When talking about this place, everyone looked at each other meaningfully.

Many of them listened to the version of The Marriage of Figaro conducted by Chen Qiu, and they had to admit it.

As Musician Magazine put it.

Chen Qiu's version indeed left a deep impression on many of them.

It can basically be said that it was this opera that made many people speculate that Chen Qiu could get fourth place, or even third place, rather than just fifth place.

Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with their vision.

Their guess was not wrong.

Musician Magazine also felt that the opera directed by Chen Qiu was truly amazing!
Professor Li Anguo continued reading.

“If I were to evaluate the best opera performance in China this year, I would probably be torn between the China National Opera House Symphony Orchestra and Chen Qiu. After all, there are only a few opera performances in China that are quite good.

However, if I were asked to evaluate the opera that left the deepest impression on me this year, no, not just me, but even if I were asked to evaluate the opera that left the deepest impression on me this year, I think almost everyone would choose Chen Qiu's "The Marriage of Figaro"!
Yes, just as you guessed, all the contributors and editors of our Musicians Magazine went to the scene and listened to Chen Qiu’s conducting. Then, based on our memory and comparison of the music, we were very shocked to find that their opera level was actually still rising!
If the first time was stunning but a little lacking, then by the first performance after the New Year, this stunningness could completely turn into shocking!

I never thought that I would be able to listen to an opera performed purely by Chinese people on Chinese soil, an opera that could even be compared to that performed by people in Europe!

I can tell everyone very responsibly that if you have the opportunity, if you are curious about opera, the version of "The Marriage of Figaro" conducted by Chen Qiu is definitely worth listening to. Their performance is so wonderful, so wonderful that I am still recalling their performance at that time!
Of course, this is a simple review of the band and we won’t go into too much detail about their interpretations of their repertoire, so that’s all we can say!
And it is precisely because of their perfect performance at the end of the year, the absolute effort of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra for this performance, and their super high production in the second half of last year, that we decided to slightly improve the score of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra to 9.1 points. We hope that they can move towards a higher direction with more perfect and excellent performance this year!"

Having said this, Professor Li Anguo paused, then gave a slight smirk, and did not end it directly, but continued reading.

"Next, Haicheng Opera House. Although Haicheng Opera House strengthened its symphony orchestra this year, coupled with the excellent opera they performed at the end of the year, it is enough to get a higher score. However, considering that their reinforcements did not show particularly good results, and they are not the main members of the opera, therefore... Haicheng Opera House maintains 9.1 points unchanged!"

Having said that, he put down the magazine in his hand, looked at Chen Qiu, and asked Chen Qiu with a smile.

"How do you feel? Hearing this evaluation? I'm right, Haicheng Opera House is indeed under some pressure, right? Are you still so confident now? As long as Haicheng Opera House finishes organizing their orchestra this year, they may automatically surpass you."

"It's okay, that's all!"

Chen Qiu shook his head and smiled indifferently.

"Anyway, I've already said that my goal is to become the world's number one. This is just a formality. It's not the final outcome yet, so no one can predict it."

Having said that, Chen Qiu couldn't help but stand up, rubbed his back, and nodded slightly to Professor Li Anguo and other teachers around him.

"Okay, I won't say any more. I also know the results of my band, so I'll leave first. If you have anything else, you can come to the band to find me, or call or email me. So, see you later?"

"Well, see you later!"

After Chen Qiu greeted everyone, he quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

They couldn't help but shift their gaze from Chen Qiu to Li Anguo, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

Someone nearby spoke sourly.

"Mr. Li has really recruited a good student this year!"

"I told you, he is not my student. On the contrary, I feel like I am benefiting from Chen Qiu."

Li Anguo shook his head, denying the man's statement, and then casually flipped the magazine in his hand to the back and onto the piano.

He originally just wanted to see how the piano ranked, but the next second, his eyes widened involuntarily.

He stared at the magazine in his hand in disbelief, then at the list on it, and spoke slowly.

"The top 50 pianists of the year (for reference only), two people from China made it, the first place is Lang Liangyue, and the 36th place is Fu Diao?"

The moment this name came out, everyone in the room first fell silent, and then went completely crazy.

"No, Fu tuned the piano to thirty-sixth place? How did he do it?"

"Based on Lang Liangyue's first-place rating, it could be commercial value?"

"Shouldn't it be? Fu Diao's commercial value seems to be average. I haven't seen how he advertises."

"So what is it? It can't be piano skills, right? The abilities of the people in the front group are basically the same, except for some abnormal ones, right I remember?"

"That's true, but those skill freaks, despite their strong abilities, have average scores... No, I still don't understand how Lang Liangyue got to first place."

"According to the ratings of other items, maybe Lang Liangyue released some relatively good albums last year?"

"That shouldn't be the case. What happened to him?"

"do not know……"

Everyone started discussing it.

If Chen Qiu's third place in Haicheng was a surprise, then Fu Diao's 36th place in the global pianist ranking was a shock.

As for Lang Liangyue, all he was left with was confusion.

No one knows how he got the world's number one ranking.

Maybe the editor of the article has a special liking for Lang Liangyue?

But no matter what, China can definitely be said to have a bumper harvest this year.

Professor Li Anguo seemed to have thought of something. He flipped forward in the catalog and quickly found the location of the clarinet.

Then Su Yue’s ranking was discovered.

World, top 100.
It’s exactly the 100th place, stuck on the edge.

If it were any less, she probably wouldn't have a chance of making the list.

Thinking of this, Professor Li Anguo couldn't help but sigh with a little emotion.

Haiyin, there are really many talented people!
……

……

……

While Haiyin was looking at the rankings, people from other places were also paying attention to the rankings.

Zhao Yi felt a little disappointed when he saw that the ranking of his own orchestra had not changed.

He and his own orchestra have tried many new works this year, wanting to see if there is a chance to go further.

It's a pity that the winks are thrown to a blind man.

The critics didn't care for his ingenuity.

Of course, it’s good to be able to maintain this ranking.

It is still early, and they still have a chance to continue and strive for a higher ranking.

Now someone has caught up with them, and they don't have time to dawdle in this place any longer. He looked at Chen Qiuhai's third place in the city, and couldn't help but raise his fingers and tap on the table, his eyes slightly deep.

three years.

Growing from a student to the third in Haicheng.

This speed of progress.

It was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

Zhao Yi was really not sure whether he could firmly stand in the first position in Haicheng.

Maybe in a few years.

Chen Qiu caught up with the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

such a pity……

When Zhao Yi thought of the impression he had when he first saw Chen Qiu, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

If Chen Qiu was a little more ordinary, he would have thought about whether there was a chance to match Chen Qiu with his daughter.

Now that the old ghost Chen Yuan is gone, it’s not a problem for me to take care of my “old friend’s” child.

He would let Chen Qiu marry into his family and work with him, and when he retired, he would hand over the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra to Chen Qiu.

It seems to be a good thing.

It’s just a pity that Chen Qiu is too strong.

My daughter is also a strong person.

If these two people are really together, his daughter will be very uncomfortable, and Chen Qiu will also be thinking about setting up his own orchestra and will not have the heart to devote to the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra.

It’s really a pity.

It would be better if Chen Qiu was a little weaker.

Zhao Yi looked at his daughter's closed door and couldn't help but sigh. He threw the magazine in his hand aside and continued to analyze the music score.

For him, the most important thing now is the orchestra.

He hopes to have the opportunity this year to bring the orchestra to a higher level.

……

……

……

Compared to Zhao Yi who considered so much, Wang Hai of Haicheng Philharmonic considered much less.

He looked at this year's rankings with excitement on his face.

Although the national ranking has not risen, the world ranking has not risen.

But Haicheng’s ranking has risen by one place!
Thinking back to the time when his boss Chen Yuan only led the orchestra to third place in Haicheng, now he had gotten second place in Haicheng. To some extent, he had finally succeeded.

But there is more to it than that.

Chen Yuan's son, Chen Qiu, has now returned to Haicheng No. 3 with the gradually declining Harmony Symphony Orchestra with a brand new look.

What is double happiness?
This is called double happiness!

He really wanted to call the people in his band to come over and learn from him.

Translate for him what surprise means!
The first thing he wanted to do was call Chen Qiu to congratulate him and show off that he had gotten the second place in Haicheng.

It’s a pity that Chen Qiu’s phone is basically full.

You know it if you think about it.

As one of the top three symphony orchestras in Haicheng, it is a self-operated private symphony orchestra that relies purely on ticket revenue.

Now there must be a lot of people who want to find Chen Qiu to discuss sponsorship matters.

Moving up the rankings isn’t just about gaining more attention.

You should know that their Haicheng Philharmonic is also a private symphony orchestra.

The reason why they can achieve their current results, besides due to the strong strength of some of their personnel, is also largely due to the fact that they are ranked third in Haicheng.

You have to know that the first two orchestras basically do not accept sponsorship and rely on grants. Even if they accept sponsorship, they are not very willing to give title sponsorship.

Therefore, they have been relying on donations from fans to survive for a long time.

It was not until their development got on the right track, the orchestra's ticket sales were getting better and better, and their reputation was growing, that they began to rely less on donations.

Thinking that Chen Qiu is now facing the same problem he encountered back then, Wang Hai couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

He put down his phone, picked up a piece of white paper and began to sort out his thoughts.

Sponsorship is not an easy task.

As Chen Yuan's student, he must tell Chen Qiu in detail about the pitfalls he had encountered before.

after all.

We are all friends.

He even held Chen Qiu in his arms when he was a child!
……

……

……

At the same time, Yu Tu in Beijing also got the musician magazine from Haicheng and saw the rankings.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he sat in his boss chair, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.

Just as he was thinking, Li Tian pushed open the door and walked in, holding a pile of music scores and said to Yu Tu.

"Teacher, this is the work I am going to perform next week. Teacher, please take a look..."

"Do you still remember Chen Qiu?"

Before he could finish his words, Yu Tu interrupted him and asked bluntly.

"The conductor of the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra, the one who defeated you and won the first place in China and Asia."

"..."

Li Tian looked at Yu Tu silently, sighed helplessly, and nodded slowly to Yu Tu.

"Yeah, I remember. He's very strong. What happened? Is the annual ranking out?"

"Yes, it is out."

Yu Tu pushed the magazine at hand over, then flicked his fingers hard, swept the magazine in front of Li Tian, ​​and spoke casually.

"He is now the third in Haicheng."

"Hmm? The third in Haicheng?"

Li Tian's hand that took the magazine stiffened involuntarily. He looked at the document in his hand in disbelief, his eyes slightly dull.

He felt as if his logic had been blown apart.

It seemed like it had not been long since he last saw Chen Qiu.

At that time, everyone was still organizing student bands.

It's only been a few days, how come you've become the third in Haicheng, a position you haven't even reached?
This is too outrageous.

However, before Li Tian could speak, Yu Tu turned the back of his chair, looked at the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window behind him, looked at the scenery outside the window, and asked slowly.

"Li Tian, ​​what do you think? Regarding Chen Qiu's results?"

"No..." Li Tian shook his head and sighed softly, "I just can't believe it."

"Yeah, who would dare to believe this? It's only been a short time and we've already arrived at the third of Haicheng."

Yu Tu also sighed.

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to the window, looked down at the crowd on the ground, and asked softly.

"So, have you ever considered conducting a symphony orchestra again?"

"Use your talent to the fullest!"

"To catch up with Chen Qiu?"
