The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 397 The list of people is announced!

Xiao Hao didn't expect that the principal trumpet player of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra would surrender so quickly, and his brain was unable to react for a moment.

He quickly stepped forward, drew aside the curtain, and spoke to the chief trumpeter.

"No, why? You really don't want to compete with me for the position of trumpet leader?"

"What's there to fight about?"

The trumpet chief looked puzzled and said to him.

"My professional level is not as good as yours, and my ability to play with the orchestra is not as good as yours. I can hear it myself. If you come to the orchestra, it will definitely be better. So I can totally accept giving up! After all, the orchestra comes first."

"No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was..."

Xiao Hao felt a little numb.

He didn't know what to say.

He had already thought of the scenario that was going to happen next in his head.

The first was that he indicated here that he wanted the position of principal trumpet.

Then the trumpet leader expressed his refusal first.

He simply forced the trumpet leader to accept it.

The trumpet leader used underhanded tactics to get everyone to vote for him, in an effort to forcibly keep his position as trumpet leader.

He countered each move.

He simply used all his strength to crush the trumpet leader head-on, allowing everyone to hear the difference.

Then everyone was still obsessed and wanted to vote for the current trumpet leader.

He couldn't bear the humiliation and turned away.

Then the conductor of the orchestra, the trumpet principal, came over personally to invite him to become the principal trumpet player of the orchestra, and pushed the previous principal trumpet player aside.

Holy shit, what a perfect, beautiful series of twists and turns.

He also won the appreciation of the orchestra's top management simply by relying on his own strength.

He even managed to pull off a simple face-slapping act.

It's cool to think about it.

This feeling is just amazing.

But why.

Why have things turned out like this?

He merely made a request, and the trumpet chief knelt down to him so weakly?

No, why?

He felt that if it were him, he would definitely struggle a little before kneeling.

Doesn't this person have any dignity as a trumpet player?
Or is it that the trumpet level of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra is very poor.

So bad that all the chiefs are just pretending?
Xiao Hao looked at the trumpet leader not far away with a hint of suspicion.

The trumpet leader, on the other hand, looked calm.

joke.

If the band gets better, it will be good for him.

He had long noticed that Chen Qiu had some opinions about wind music.

Chen Qiu has also been preparing to improve the level of the orchestra's wind instruments.

It’s great that someone can take my place now so I don’t have to bear the responsibility anymore.

He was busy welcoming Xiao Hao, so how could he question him?
He'd be crazy to question him.

The trumpet leader hurriedly went on stage, pulled Xiao Hao to sit at his seat, and smiled at Xiao Hao kindly.

"Since you want the position of principal trumpet player, then this position will be yours from now on. Let me introduce you to others. There are only two trumpets in our orchestra, and now with you, there are three of us. From now on, you will be the boss of the two of us!"

"Yes! Hello, boss!"

Another trumpeter at the side nodded seriously and spoke loudly to Xiao Hao.

The two men were so respectful that Xiao Hao was completely confused.

He sat in the chair of the orchestra in a daze, smiled naively and nodded.

"Oh, I see. Thank you very much..."

As he was talking, he caught sight of Chang Gao not far away, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He remembered his previous conflict with this man, and couldn't help but give Chang Gao a thumbs-down and grinned.

"Hey, the guy in the jacket, you're not good enough. You can't just become an ordinary musician, right? I'm already the principal, why don't you ask a principal to come and listen?"

"Oh?"

Chang Gao, who was far away, obviously didn't expect that Xiao Hao, with his cockscomb hair, could play the flute so well.

He couldn't help but laugh, and spoke lightly to the principal trombone player beside him.

"I'd also like to be the principal trombone player, is that ok?"

The principal trombone player quickly said, "Sure, sure. I'll give you the seat when we have the meeting later."

Seeing that the principal trombone player was so sensible, Chang Gao couldn't help but chuckle and said casually to Xiao Hao in the distance.

"Isn't it just the chief position? You're talking as if no one has it."

"Hey, you! Are you trying to be smart? What do you want from me? What little girl?"

"This is just my level of strength. You can ask them casually and see who among them is not convinced by me."

"Hiss, it's not me..."

Xiao Hao looked at Chang Gao and became more and more unhappy.

The two people's gazes also became directed at each other.

But it's obvious.

The conflict between the two was just talk.

There was no physical contact between the two parties.

Although Chang Gao didn't like Xiao Hao very much, Xiao Hao's level was indeed good.

There is no doubt about this.

It’s just that both of them have radical personalities, so there may be some conflicts, but these conflicts should not affect their cooperation.

Maybe later on, the two of them will argue with each other but become close friends at the same time?

Everyone looked at the two of them and couldn't help but think so.

After Xiao Hao finished his review, he looked at Rui Jia with great anticipation and said excitedly.

"Now that I'm a member of the band, can I also vote for the next person like everyone else?"

"Yes, yes..."

Ruijia nodded slightly and then whispered.

"But all the reviews for this morning have been completed. You are the last one this morning."

"No! I finally got into the orchestra and became the concertmaster!"

After hearing Rui Jia's words, Xiao Hao immediately wailed.

His wailing drew the ridicule of Chang Gao next door.

Not long after, the two started arguing again.

Everyone was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them and went out to eat with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Chen Qiu also took Qin Xian and other old chiefs with him, went out and found a restaurant to sit down.

The concert hall of Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra is located in the central location of Haicheng.

There are many places to eat around.

Chen Qiu asked everyone to sit down, let them order whatever dishes they wanted, and then asked everyone.

"What do you think of the new people here?"

"I feel fine."

Qin Xian answered first, and he said seriously to Chen Qiu.

"Currently, Chang Gao and Xiao Hao are obviously much stronger than the others. The level of the brass section of the orchestra can also be improved a lot. It's a good idea to recruit them."

"It's a pity that I don't know if Xiao Hao plays jazz. If he does, it would be great."

Ai Gu at the side said with a cheerful smile, asked the waiter for a cup of Coke, opened the can, drank it all in one gulp, then said "Ah" with satisfaction.

"This Xiao Hao's level is really good. With him here, there shouldn't be any problems with the brass section of our orchestra. We're just worried that he and Chang Gao will fight."

"Come on, these two are obviously just arguing for fun. I feel like their relationship is better than we thought."

Huang Xin, who was standing nearby, looked like he was enjoying himself and asked everyone.

"By the way, do you think these two will become close friends in the future?"

Zhao Xi shook his head: "It's hard to say. If it were me, I would definitely fight him."

Rui Jia beside her raised her hand cautiously.

"By the way, is it really okay to let them become the chief directly? Wouldn't that make them progress too fast?"

After she said this, everyone laughed.

Chen Qiu pointed at Huang Xin who was sitting lazily not far away and raised his eyebrows at Rui Jia.

"How about you ask Huang Xin?"

"Hey! Why are you pointing at me? I was still young, and I was really awesome!"

Huang Xin immediately retorted. Chen Qiu blinked at Rui Jia.

"Did you hear that? He's really awesome, so that's fine."

"Hey! I'm an exception! I have my reasons for becoming the chief! This has been my dream since I was a child!"

Huang Xin raised his fist towards Chen Qiu in protest.

Rui Jia nodded.

Chen Qiu ignored Huang Xin's protest and smiled at everyone.

"In short, our band is aiming for first place in Haicheng this year. Even if we can't get first place, we must get second place. So strength comes first. As for the rest, we'll talk about it later."

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded.

At this time, the dishes were served.

Chen Qiu immediately invited everyone to have lunch and prepare for the afternoon review.

……

……

……

The subsequent review seemed to drain a lot of the band's energy.

During the entire afternoon's review, no musicians of the same level as Chang Gao and Xiao Hao emerged.

The orchestra simply added some wind instruments and completely completed the review for the day.

Everyone originally thought that the situation might be slightly better on the second day, but unfortunately, the situation seemed to be even worse on the second day.

After a whole day of reviewing these people, only one person was added to the orchestra.

After this person joined the band, everyone suddenly discovered...

nobody?
All the people from the wind instrument group have entered.

Only the string section was left.

Everyone suddenly became helpless.

They're not quite sure why this is happening.

Although domestic wind instruments are not that strong, they are still okay, right?
Why are there so few people who can join the orchestra and help improve the level of the orchestra?

It's even very good to be able to maintain the original state unchanged.

Therefore, only the trumpet, trombone, flute, piccolo and oboe barely made it to 4th place.

For other instruments, there are 3.

As for the bassoon...

They didn't even get one person in, still 2 people.

Chen Qiu was not satisfied with the recruitment of members for the wind instruments, but there was nothing else he could do.

These are some of the most suitable people for the orchestra that Professor Li Anguo could find.

If they want to find more people, they will have to poach people from other orchestras.

If we poach people again, I don’t know how high the price will be.

Therefore, Chen Qiu could only let the band leave it like this for now.

As for the rest, we will talk about it later.

And wait until the orchestra enters the string section interview.

The orchestra seemed to be on a roll and tried their best to recruit players.

Even some double basses, which were sparsely represented, were included.

Although these people are not as strong as Qin Xian and Zhao Xi.

But he is much better than people like Zhang Yu.

He is just slightly worse than Zhao Xi.

So it's quick.

The number of string players in the orchestra has reached the upper limit.

They even had to raise their demands.

Until the orchestra was full, they still had some people they liked but couldn't accept them, so they could only add contact information to see if there was a chance for future cooperation.

at last.

After nearly a week of interviews, the number of people in the orchestra finally reached more than 100.

Several principals of the orchestra were also selected and announced to the public.

First of all, there is the band leader, music director, and orchestra conductor.

Chen Qiu.

There is no doubt about this.

Next are the band's concertmasters, Qin Xian and Su Yue.

Although Su Yue did not come back, her position in the orchestra was still reserved for her.

Under Chen Qiu, Qin Xian and Su Yue is the band manager, Li Miaomiao.

As for the interns led by Li Miaomiao, Chen Qiu did not include them in the list.

Below Li Miaomiao is the official list of the band.

The orchestra's concertmaster and first violinist: Qin Xian.

Deputy First Violinist of the Orchestra: Chen Chen

The orchestra's second violinist: Zhao Xi.

Associate Principal Second Violinist: Ye Tingxin
The orchestra's principal viola player is Wu Ming.

The orchestra’s deputy principal viola player: Wen Beibei.

The orchestra's principal cello player is Xu Shuwen.

Deputy Principal Cello of the Orchestra: Shen Tinglan,
The orchestra's principal double bass player: Rui Jia.

There is no deputy principal of double bass. The number of people is too small, so there is no point in setting one up.

These are the principal and deputy principal of the string instruments in the orchestra.

Basically they are all acquaintances.

Even if the names are not familiar, they are all from the 33-member band and there are no outsiders.

There are not many changes in the woodwind section.

Song Ge from the flute group, the one who was with Zhang Yu before, took on the responsibility of principal because of the shortage of people in the flute group.

So this is the current situation for the woodwind section.

The orchestra's principal flute: Song Ge.

The orchestra's principal piccolo: Hou Xiaozhu.

Principal clarinetist of the orchestra: Su Yue (temporarily leaving), Qiao Shao (temporary replacement)

The orchestra's principal oboe: Yuefu.

The orchestra's principal bassoon: He Ke.

This is the case with the orchestra's woodwind instruments.

Next is the brass section, which has undergone the biggest changes in the orchestra.

The brass section changed several principals at once.

Trumpet Principal of the Orchestra: Xiao Hao

Principal Trombone of the Orchestra: Chang Gao

Principal Horn of the Orchestra: Zheng Yichen
Principal Tuba of the Orchestra: Huang Xin

Zheng Yichen was the second member to join the orchestra, and was the only one among the previous 56 members who did not leave.

Then, with everyone's recommendation, he was promoted to principal horn of the orchestra.

As for the last few groups, there is nothing much to say.

The orchestra's percussion group leader: Ai Gu.

The orchestra's color instrument group principal: Wu Jie
Wu Jie is new and was also recruited this time.

He plays the piano, and he also knows a little about the organ and celesta.

The strength is pretty good, not particularly good nor particularly bad.

It is enough for a symphony orchestra.

This is a color instrument set after all.

As the name suggests, they are responsible for adding musical color to the orchestra.

If he really needed to find that kind of professional concerto, Chen Qiu would definitely give priority to the top bosses like Fu Diao instead of Wu Jie.

Therefore, Wu Jie's level is sufficient.

This is the end.

The band's roster is now complete!
Chen Qiu announced this list to the public.

At the same time, Chen Qiu also announced the orchestra's new season plans.

This also means...

The battle between the Harmony Symphony Orchestra and China's top orchestra is about to begin!
