The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 350 The Backbone of Wind Music
With the joining of Su Yue, the orchestra suddenly seemed to have a backbone in rehearsal. The overall performance became better and the strength became stronger.

Not only did they return to the strength they had shown in previous orchestra rehearsals, but they even felt a little bit better than before.

The strength of the band became astounding.

As the leader of the string group, Qin Xian commands everything in the orchestra, driving the strings and guiding the orchestra forward.

There is basically no way you can find any problems with the orchestra from the strings.

Basically, it can be said that if the string section of their orchestra is taken out separately, although it may still be at the top three level in Haicheng, it is definitely not the same as it is now.

With any luck, their string instruments could even make it into the top 20 in China.

That is close to the current level of Haicheng Philharmonic.

The main reason why the orchestra is now ranked 33rd in the country is the orchestra's wind instruments.

Previous commenters have also mentioned related issues.

The wind instruments of the orchestra lack a backbone.

Normally, the leadership of an orchestra comes from the top down.

Chen Qiu needs to convey his intentions to the leaders of each part, who will then analyze and pass them on.

Although there is one extra step, it can make the orchestra run more smoothly.

After all, Chen Qiu can focus more on the performance of music rather than on each individual instrument.

However, due to Su Yue's departure, the orchestra lacked the backbone of the wind instruments, and Chen Qiu had to separate the leadership of the wind instruments.

The reminder must be given to every musician.

Correspondingly, all wind instrument players must focus their attention on Chen Qiu.

If they didn't understand Chen Qiu's intentions, they would have no way of finding a suitable person to follow and could only move forward according to their own ideas.

Even though Chen Qiu has tried very hard to make his command intentions clearer, people are different after all.

After all, if a person wants to understand another person, it is too difficult to rely solely on body movements.

It is remarkable that the orchestra has achieved this point now.

If the orchestra wants to continue, it can basically only rely on the improvement of the string instruments.

Unless they find someone equivalent to Su Yue, the orchestra's ability upgrade will likely come to a standstill.

The root cause of all this stagnation, after all, is that the wind instruments lack a backbone.

That means there are fewer people like Su Yue.

And now.

Su Yue joins the band.

The backbone of the wind instrument team is in place.

Everything just fell into place naturally.

Su Yue easily picked up all the hints Chen Qiu gave her and passed them on to others.

Even without Chen Qiu's reminder, some members of the orchestra were able to find the part they should express through Su Yue's interpretation.

The overall operation of the orchestra has become much smoother.

It has been more than a year since Su Yue left the band, and many people in the band have been replaced, leaving only a few core members, such as Qin Xian, Zhao Xi, Rui Jia and others.

There are even some people in the band who have only been in the band for a short time.

It looks basically the same as a brand new symphony orchestra.

Under such circumstances, Su Yue seemed to have been following the orchestra for who knows how long, without any awkwardness at all.

Know the situation of each musician very well.

Chen Qiu even suspected that she had been secretly rehearsing in the orchestra and had never left the orchestra.

of course.

Su Yue definitely has never been in a band.

Therefore, after only a slight emotion, Chen Qiu shifted his attention and continued to focus on the orchestra's performance, paying attention to the orchestra's performance and not allowing them to have any problems.

At Chen Qiu's request, everyone gradually regained their previous performance state, and the tension in their hearts was reduced a lot.

The once invincible Harmony Symphony Orchestra has come back to life.

And this time, they stood on the European stage and announced their arrival to the world!

……

……

……

As Chen Qiu's baton fell, the last note fell.

Everyone in the orchestra applauded spontaneously.

It was not only given to Chen Qiu, but a large part was also given to Su Yue.

Everyone has good hearing and can hear how strong Su Yue is.

Therefore, they naturally would not be too stingy with their applause.

They thanked Su Yue for coming and for the help she gave.

Not only the band members, but also Chen Qiu is the same.

He threw the baton in his hand onto the music stand in front of him, looked at Su Yue with satisfaction, and said with a smile while clapping.

"Su Yue, I haven't seen you for so long, and you're still so strong, amazing!"

"generally."

Su Yue spoke calmly.

Her eyes were always on Chen Qiu, never shifting at all.

"The wind instruments in the orchestra are a little loose, and it's not that comfortable to listen to. My level is stronger than everyone else in the wind instruments, so I can play so smoothly. If it were the string instruments, it wouldn't be that easy."

Su Yue's words were very straightforward.

Everyone felt helpless when they heard this, but there was nothing they could do.

It’s not that I’m strong, it’s that the orchestra’s wind instruments are too weak.

If anyone stood up and said this, the wind instrument players in the orchestra would definitely stand up and mock that person.

Some even directly shouted something like "Let's have a one-on-one fight."

Although learning music can cultivate one's sentiments, it does not mean becoming a coward.

If you can tolerate others belittling your band, then I can only call you the New Century Roshi Hermit.

But what if this person is Su Yue?
One of the top 100 clarinet players in the world.

Normally, such people would either go directly to other places to perform and become ranked among the best in the world, like Sabine Meyer now.

Or you can join the top symphony orchestras and become one of them.

That's what you say.

If Su Yue told anyone now that she wanted to join one of the top 20 symphony orchestras in the world.

Not to mention direct admission, that's a bit too outrageous. After all, many orchestras require the entire band to be reviewed and certified before admission.

Just discuss sending an invitation letter, and ask all the orchestra leaders or orchestra members to stop what they are doing and come over to watch, and hold a meeting to discuss whether to let Su Yue join the symphony orchestra, and treat it as a very important event for the orchestra. In fact, there are not many problems.

Of course, it’s a different story if you encounter some symphony orchestras that are slightly discriminatory.

In short, a top clarinetist who is very famous all over the world and who everyone can see has a bright future came to a small place like the Harmony Symphony Orchestra and said that the wind instruments of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra are not good.

They really have no room for rebuttal.

It's like Sukuna is killing people randomly and then letting you, a passerby, come on the field.

what?
I hit Su Yue?

real or fake?

I can only say……

will win.

It is precisely because of Su Yue's strong strength and influence that when Su Yue said this, everyone had no desire to refute it. They just wanted to nod at Su Yue and shout a few words, "Boss is awesome, Boss is right."

Yuefu, who was sitting on the side, felt helpless.

He held the oboe in his hand and sighed slowly, trying to hide himself. When Su Yue was not around, he was the chief of the wind instrument.

Now that Su Yue said that Guan Le was not good enough, it was like a slap in his face.

He was very angry, but he couldn't beat Su Yue. Su Yue did a good job.

So he decided.

Spare your life.

Don't bother with Su Yue.

However, the other musicians nearby felt like they were watching a joke. They poked Yuefu's waist and abdomen and whispered.

"Brother Lefu, did you hear that? Su Yue is saying bad things about you. Why don't you go up and teach Sister Su Yue a lesson?"

"Me? How about I give you the position of the chief wind instrument, and you go up and confront Su Yue head-on?"

"Hey, how dare I? I'm just an ordinary musician. But if I remember correctly, didn't Chen Qiu ask you to be the principal wind instrument of the orchestra?"

"Chen Qiu just asked me to temporarily serve as the principal of the wind instrument. I know that."

Yuefu rolled his eyes at the man next to him and then sighed.

"I was the orchestra's principal wind instrument player at the time, but why do I always feel like I'm a spare tire? Look, I know that Chen Qiu must have always had Su Yue in his heart. Look at how happy Chen Qiu is now that Su Yue is here to conduct him. Look at me, ah..."

"It's normal. You'll get used to being a spare tire after a while. Don't worry. There will be many more days of being a spare tire in the future."

"Get lost, you are the one cursing me, right? Get as far away from me as possible."

Yue Fu reached out and pushed the person next to him, then sat up straight.

Because the sound of their discussion had reached Su Yue's ears, Su Yue turned her head and looked at them.

It was like the gaze of an ancient god, and they instantly stopped talking.

Fortunately, Su Yue just glanced at them and did not blame them too much, but continued.

"I will provide special training for the wind instruments in the orchestra, and you can do whatever you want with the string instruments."

As Su Yue's voice fell, Qin Xian, who had been sitting aside holding his zither in a daze, immediately seemed to wake up, looked at Su Yue and Chen Qiu, and raised his hand.

"I also need to have the orchestra rehearse more on the string side. I feel like there are still some problems."

After saying that, he looked at Su Yue.

A hint of fighting intention gradually emerged from his eyes that seemed a little dazed.

It’s not that he really wants to defeat Su Yue and gain control of his band.

It was simply because Su Yue's wind instruments gave him a sense of crisis. He always felt that if Su Yue continued like this, the string instruments, which were originally the advantage of the orchestra, might become a burden to the orchestra.

So he immediately spoke to the string musicians around him.

"All string players are here. We will gather together later to rehearse the part that Chen Qiu just talked about, and try to fully control the interpretation conducted by Chen Qiu."

"it is good……"

The string musicians spoke weakly.

Su Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the wind instrument players behind her, and said casually and calmly.

"Follow me during the rehearsal later. You won't be a burden to the orchestra."

"..."

The wind instrument players were silent.

Although they knew that their role in the band was not that positive, they were still defensive when they heard that they would not be a burden.

They always feel that without them, the band's ranking this year might not be 33rd in the world, but top in the country, or even top in the country.

What does it mean to be in the top ten in the country?
To put it simply...

They have a chance to take over the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra in one fell swoop.

This is one of the top three symphony orchestras in China.

Become the true ruler of Haicheng.

A student symphony orchestra that had just graduated became the ruler of classical music in Haicheng. Everyone was begging to come and listen to their performances, and countless companies and consortiums came to them wanting to cooperate with them. They even had the opportunity to study directly in some universities in Haicheng.

When we think about the bright future of the orchestra, it is because of the poor strength of their wind instruments that the orchestra is brought into disgrace.

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. I even felt like this was how my life would be.

Seeing that the people on the wind instrument side were even more silent, Su Yue frowned, thinking about what words she should use to motivate this group of people. When she was about to give them another stab, Chen Qiu sighed.

"Okay, okay, let's stop here for today. There are other symphony orchestras performing here tonight. We can listen to other people's performances and take a rest. Our performance is tomorrow, and there is still a whole day tomorrow, so don't be too nervous, it's okay. Also..."

Chen Qiu looked at the group of wind instrument players not far away and grinned.

"Don't worry too much. You are quite capable. It is because of you that we have come this far. If you really drag the band down too much, you won't even have a chance to be selected by me. You don't believe in yourselves, but do you not believe in my vision? Ah? You are devaluing my musical aesthetics by devaluing yourselves! I won't allow you to say that about yourselves!"

After listening to Chen Qiu's words, the originally slightly depressed members of the wind instrument team gradually reacted, and the gloomy atmosphere improved a little.

Looking at the wind instrument players who were smiling again, Chen Qiu couldn't help but smile and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, that's right. Don't worry too much. I will take care of all the problems. I am the first person in charge of the orchestra. The second person in charge is the chief voice and the chief instrument of the orchestra. Finally, it's you. So, don't worry, just play well!"

Everyone exhaled slowly, raised their hands loosely, and roared.

"Oh……"

There was no momentum, but everyone's thoughts were obvious.

Chen Qiu did not continue to embarrass everyone and make them appear more excited.

He just clapped his hands and smiled at everyone.

"Okay, don't be so nervous. Everyone, pack up and go rest first. Pack up your instruments and lock them up. Don't lose them. This is not China. You are all unfamiliar with the place. Even if you lose something, you may not be able to find it back. So you must take good care of it. If it really doesn't work, everyone can pack up and throw the instruments that can be taken away back to the room, or put them in the car."

"it is good!"

When everyone heard about the word "rest", they immediately became alert and shouted loudly.

Chen Qiu didn't care about everyone's intention to be lazy and continued with a smile.

"Well, because there will be a band coming later, everyone needs to pack up quickly. You can go around the city later. Except for the casinos, it's best not to go anywhere else. Of course, if you really want to go to the casino, just don't call us to get you out later. Wait until about six o'clock in the evening. Li Miaomiao will book a German restaurant for everyone. Just gather at the theater entrance at 5:30 later. Do you understand?"

"I understand!!"

The crowd's voices became more enthusiastic.

Not only do we not have to continue rehearsing, but we can also move around freely and wander around the place, and after that we can enjoy a pre-performance dinner.

The feeling the band gave everyone was really great!

The crowd cheered, packed up their instruments, and walked out in groups of three or five, wanting to stroll around the small town as they wished.

Although Chen Qiu did not give them funds for activities, they are not incapable of acting.

Before going out, each of them exchanged some pocket money for themselves, totaling several hundred euros, just in case of accidents or to use for free activities.

Therefore, everyone greeted Chen Qiu excitedly, took their important musical instruments, and quickly disappeared in front of Chen Qiu and others.

Qin Xian originally wanted to call Chen Qiu and ask if he wanted to go shopping together.

But before he could speak, Zhao Xi, Li Miaomiao and others who were standing aside pulled him back and asked him to look at the current atmosphere before speaking.

At this moment, in front of everyone.

Chen Qiu just stood there with his arms folded gently.

Su Yue stood in front of him without saying a word.

The two people's eyes met, and it was extremely sticky, making it difficult to separate them.

In such an atmosphere, even though Qin Xian was so slow, he probably understood why it was not a good idea to call Chen Qiu at this time.

He covered his mouth and asked in a low voice to Zhao Xi beside him.

"By the way, can't we ask Commander Chen Qiu and Chief Su Yue to go together? It would only take two more people..."

"Hey, just go away. Why do you have to stick to Chen Qiu? How important is your matter? Can't you tell it tonight when you go back to the hotel? Do you have to tell it now? Go, go, go."

Zhao Xi looked at Qin Xian helplessly, sighed, shook his head, pushed Qin Xian out the door, and disappeared at the door.

However, just as they were about to leave, they saw Rui Jia and Huang Xin trying to steal someone's money, and they immediately hesitated.

Everyone looked at each other, understood each other's thoughts, nodded silently, and followed Rui Jia and Huang Xin's example, hiding behind the door and quietly listening to everything that happened in the house.

Under everyone's ears, Chen Qiu smiled and spoke slowly.

"Long time no see. I feel like your music has gotten much better over the past few days. But I feel a little tired listening to your music. How are you doing recently? Did something happen? Do you want to... come back and rest for a while?"
