The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 393 Ahhh, it’s on fire…?
Although Chen Qiu said that he came to see Professor Li Anguo.

But as he searched, he was pulled by all kinds of people to give some strange lectures, to talk to his younger classmates about their future, his thoughts on music, and how he got to where he is today.

When Chen Qiu heard the questions given by the school, he was really helpless.

To be honest, he is really not good at this kind of chicken soup job. He can't say that it's because I have good ears and a strong understanding of music, and I am better than you bunch of rubbish that I have reached where I am today, right?
This is a bit too cheap.

But Chen Qiu couldn't say those particularly inspiring words.

Therefore, he could only helplessly pick out some works and start analyzing them with everyone.

Just treat it as a conducting lesson and tell people in school how you prepare a piece.

Although this pre-performance analysis is only a small part of a conductor’s career…

A normal conductor needs to analyze, rehearse, rehearse the parts and sections, rehearse the final piece, and then perform on stage. This is roughly the process.

For some particularly familiar works, the rehearsal part at the beginning can be a little simpler and does not need to spend so much time.

But the only thing that cannot be skipped is the previous analysis and the subsequent performance.

A piece of work can be analyzed frequently and always in new ways.

Each analysis can bring something completely different.

Therefore, even when faced with familiar works, these analyses cannot be omitted.

Chen Qiu began to analyze the work bit by bit on the podium in front of everyone.

It was as if there was no one around, just analyzing himself.

Occasionally, I would suddenly remember that I was still giving a lecture and say a few words to everyone.

But in the end I still painted alone in that place.

The teachers nearby were all stunned.

Isn't it you who calls this a lecture?
They could understand it, and roughly knew what Chen Qiu was thinking.

But the students below may not understand it?
Look at the clear eyes of the students below.

To be honest, if Chen Qiu wasn't so famous, everyone would be so curious about Chen Qiu.

Given this kind of lecture that goes beyond their understanding, most of them will probably start playing with their mobile phones.

Don't think that something like music is easy to understand.

Let’s not talk about all those messy professional terms for now, it’s just pure music analysis.

If you don't keep up with the teacher, your mind will soon be confused.

I was just playing in C major, and it seemed to be at level one, then the eraser fell and I picked it up, and when I looked up, the tonality had become atonal, and the series had also become some weird series.

You don't even know where this series comes from.

Which tonality does he belong to?

You have to know that a long time ago, when people had no way to work with rhythm, everyone's mind was completely focused on harmony.

It produced a lot of messy harmonies.

You think D is the second level of C, but in fact it may be a fifth level five, that is, C to G and then to D.

This is still the simplest.

There are countless other strange modulations.

While analyzing, Chen Qiu was thinking about why the composer wrote it this way and what kind of feeling he could express by writing it this way.

At the same time, you can interpret it in any way you want and what kind of expression you want.

These things helped the teachers learn a lot, but made it difficult for the students.

In order to let the students learn something, the teacher had no choice but to start dubbing.

Chen Qiu talks about whatever he writes.

If there is anything wrong, Chen Qiu will correct it.

And if the teacher is also fascinated by the show, other teachers will follow.

It was clearly a lecture by Chen Qiu, but it somehow turned into a class collaborated by multiple teachers.

It is hard to say whether the effect was good or not, but at least Chen Qiu completed his task. After spending a whole class analyzing the piece he was going to perform, he left in a graceful manner amid everyone's gratitude.

These are just little episodes in Chen Qiu’s life.

It must be said that after the orchestra's successful performances in Europe, life in China has become more comfortable.

Many people began to invite Chen Qiu and some people from the orchestra to give speeches or attend meetings.

Some meetings can be postponed, but some cannot.

But Chen Qiu is a doer after all, and cannot be considered the mascot of the band.

So after he told many people that he was preparing a new performance, some people gave up.

There is no way. Chen Qiu is too indifferent now.

I need money. The 4000 million given by the neighboring Lianhe Group has not been spent yet.

As for status, now no matter which orchestra Chen Qiu joins, he will basically be treated as a VIP.

Even when it comes to the orchestra's performance, the orchestra can meet Chen Qiu's requirements very well.

Everything was fine except that it failed to reach Chen Qiu's goal of becoming one of the top 20 or even the world's best symphony orchestras.

But Chen Qiu knew very well that these were only temporary.

After the orchestra began to recover from a few performances, some people who had joined the Harmony Symphony Orchestra later began to submit their resignations to Chen Qiu.

People from the symphony orchestra next door came to poach some people.

Chen Qiu didn't care much about these people who came in later.

Since someone comes to dig, let them go.

These are all unimportant things.

The early members of the band are still the same as before.

Apart from the two people who were poached the first time a long time ago, there was no movement.

It's obvious that they don't care much about the salary outside.

What kind of salary can they be offered outside?
Could they be offered 3 yuan a month and be made the concertmaster of the orchestra?
Otherwise, with their current work in the orchestra, they will have the opportunity to become world leaders in the future.

If they miss this train, they will probably be disappointed for the rest of their lives.

Even if you offer them 5 to 6 yuan a month, they may not agree.

Not to mention the current 2 to 3 yuan a month.

Chen Qiu did not comment on the band members' ideas, but simply asked them to carry on as before.

Soon, all the water in the band was rinsed off.

From the original 56 people, it returned to 48 people.

Looking at the remaining people, Chen Qiu just nodded silently, and then asked Li Miaomiao to sign some of the band's latest contracts with everyone and complete some details of the contract.

Naturally, people would not refuse.

Especially since they had long since made up their minds to stay behind the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

They quickly signed their respective contracts and began their subsequent performances.

Chen Qiu also discussed the recruitment of new members for the orchestra with Professor Li Anguo.

It is clear.

As Professor Li Anguo released the news that the Harmony Symphony Orchestra was recruiting, it not only caused a stir across the country.

Even some foreign musicians were attracted.

Of course, for domestic musicians, what attracts them most is that a student orchestra has risen from the top eight in Haicheng to the second place in Haicheng in just a few years, and has the opportunity to touch the first place in Haicheng.

If we can meet the number one in Haicheng, then we will be in the top three in China.

Absolutely stable!
And an orchestra that can rank among the top three in the country will sound good even if it is announced to the outside world.

As for the foreign musicians, they were more surprised that an orchestra ranked 333 could play a work with a high score of 9.5 or even 9.7.

So they really wanted to go in and see what magic this band had.

Under such circumstances, more and more people are attracted here.

Hundreds of musicians from all over the world gathered around the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra.

Chen Qiu did not take any action towards these people.

He just asked everyone to rehearse and perform in the normal way.

Show the habits of their band to the musicians who come over.

For those musicians, 60 performances a year may be a considerable number.

Chen Qiu plans to lead the orchestra in more than 100 performances a year.

If possible, Chen Qiu even plans to lead the orchestra to perform 200 shows, or even more.

Although there may be many repeated songs, if they can perform so many shows and all the tickets are sold out, it proves that there is no problem with their performance and their plan.

It just makes the musicians suffer. Therefore, the key is whether the musicians can endure such great hardship.

With the band's high-intensity performance, some people were soon persuaded to leave.

They couldn't accept such high-intensity rehearsals.

This is a bit too outrageous.

They even suspected that these people were robots.

Don’t these people need a rest?
How are they able to perform so many shows and still maintain such a high level?
Although they may be able to reach a higher level directly with the orchestra, they cannot accept such pressure.

They even felt that they might not be enjoying the music anymore, but just playing it mechanically.

A group of foreigners feel this most.

They scratched their heads in disbelief, shouted "Crazy" and left the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra, and ran to the Haicheng Four-Piece Set to check in and take photos.

Since the visa has been obtained, I might as well just go out for a tour and go home after I have had enough fun.

Only a very small number of people are willing to stay.

They discovered why the band was growing so fast.

High-intensity performances, and the orchestra's high-intensity connection with performance income.

They finally figured it out.

The more performances this group of people from Haicheng Harmony perform, the more money they make.

No wonder these guys work so hard.

No wonder this group of people’s performance is getting better and better.

There is not much jealousy in the hearts of the people.

They just observed the Harmony Symphony Orchestra silently and then handed their resumes to the orchestra.

This is different from other bands that actively poach people.

All of them wanted to be in the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

The Harmony Symphony Orchestra has officially become a hot commodity here.

Faced with the increasing number of resumes, Chen Qiu did not impose any restrictions.

Finally, when the number of resumes reached more than 1000, Chen Qiu announced that he would stop accepting resumes.

The orchestra began preparing for the interview.

Draw the curtain and choose blindly.

To be as fair as possible.

Although when it comes to music, if everyone is really familiar with it, you can still hear who you are even through a wall.

However, in this situation where there is no absolute fairness, Chen Qiu still hopes to achieve relative fairness.

Therefore, in addition to dividing everyone into different musical instruments and asking the players of each instrument to come and listen and then choose those who would join them, Chen Qiu also asked the other parts to send one person and the principal player of their instrument to come.

After all, this is the person they will be working with in the future, so they have to give some of their opinions.

In one examination, there may be more than twenty examiners.

There are at least a dozen examiners.

In this context, the orchestra's interview began.

……

……

……

Haicheng, outside the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

Xiao Hao, with a huge rooster head, rubbed his neck, holding an almost faded trumpet in his hand, and stood at the door of the orchestra.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at everyone who came near him very sharply.

Such a strange operation made many people walk around him, but he didn't feel unhappy at all. He just stared at everyone who came over.

Finally, someone disliked him and walked up to him with a violin case on his back, frowning.

"No, what are you doing? What are you doing standing here? Where are you from?"

"Me? I'm here for an interview!"

Xiao Hao grinned, looked at the man in front of him with an extremely aggressive gaze, and said slowly.

"I just came to see if anyone is ready to take the position of principal trumpet from me."

"Trumpet chief?"

The man was puzzled, but seeing how confident Xiao Hao was, he could only nod slightly, walked past him, and said casually.

"Good luck to you then."

"Of course I'll have good luck!"

Xiao Hao laughed, reached out and pinched his hair, and looked around at the people around him.

Seeing that no one dared to look him in the eye, the smile on his face became even more intense.

Not bad.

That's how it should be.

How can a group of people who don’t even have the courage to look themselves in the eye get a seat on the performance?

He travels around the world performing and hanging out with various bands, all he does is rely on his own pair of eyes.

It’s just a pity that those conductors were not very good. They didn’t even have the courage to be watched by me, and they drove me away after only a few performances.

Xiao Hao shook his head helplessly, rubbing his neck and staggering into the concert hall.

I have to say, this hairstyle is good in every way, except that it is a bit tiring on my neck.

It's quite tiring to hold it up all the time.

After Xiao Hao entered the concert hall, Professor Li Anguo walked over not far away accompanied by a man wearing black punk clothes covered with spikes.

After reaching the door of the concert hall, the man raised his chin and raised his eyebrows towards Professor Li Anguo with a serious expression.

"Old man, are you sure the commander of this place is really a genius?"

"In three years, I was able to lead the orchestra from the eighth to the third in Haicheng. What do you think?"

"I think... Tsk, it's hard to say. After all, the quality of this product in China is a bit worrying."

The man picked up the musical instrument box behind him, weighed it in his hand, and said casually to Li Anguo.

"Okay, old man, I'll go see how this commander is doing. You wait for my news."

After saying this, he walked into the concert hall without waiting for Li Anguo to answer.

As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Hao staring at the rooster head not far away, and sneered with a little disdain.

He was just about to say that this concert hall was well designed, but he saw this kind of person when he came in.

Really unlucky.

However, he did not take the initiative to cause trouble. He walked past Xiao Hao casually, glanced at him coldly, and turned to walk backstage.

He doesn't like waiting.

Xiao Hao couldn't help but be stunned by his unruly appearance.

He never thought that there was someone more pretentious than him.

I didn't expect to open my eyes this time.

But what he didn't expect was...

The person who just came in is just the beginning.

Over time.

On the day of the wind band review.

Xiao Hao saw the largest number of people he had ever seen, and they were more pretentious than him.

All kinds of strange shapes.

It seems as if all the troubled youths from around the world have gathered here.

And that group of people had the same attitude toward each other.

I am the best in the world, who the hell are you?

Xiao Hao couldn't help but frown, and finally the corners of his mouth kept rising.

It turned out that I was right to come here.

Only here can you meet the best people in the world.

If I could defeat this group of people and become the lead trumpet player, wouldn't I be the most awesome trumpet leader in the world?

It’s hot!!!

It's so fucking hot!
