The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 399: WTF! There’s something awesome (NTR)!
The concert hall rented by the Harmony Symphony Orchestra this time is currently the largest and best concert hall in Haicheng.

Music by the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra.

Fast Lion Haicheng Symphony Orchestra Concert Hall.

This Kuaishi is the sponsor of this concert hall, just like the Hesheng Lianhe Concert Hall.

For this performance, the Harmony Symphony Orchestra went to talk with the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra for a long time before they were able to reach an agreement.

To be honest, the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra was actually a little reluctant to lend their concert hall to Chen Qiu and his team.

But there is no way.

Chen Qiu and the others gave really too much.

Basically, I bought it at the highest market price.

Not only that.

In order to avoid offending the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra, the Harmony Symphony Orchestra even specifically looked at the performance calendar of the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra.

I found a day when they didn't have a performance and bought it.

The Haicheng Symphony Orchestra could not find any reason to stop the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

No way.

If you tell me the price, they will give you the highest price.

You said you didn't have time, so they specially found a day when you were free.

What else can you say?

The venue is under maintenance that day? Sorry, we can't accommodate you?
Then it is not as simple as a competition between two teams.

This is a direct blow to say that I don't want to let you use the concert hall, so don't even think about getting any advantage from me.

The relationship between Chen Qiu and Zhao Yi has not reached that stage yet.

And they both made it very clear.

The two of them just have a simple competitive relationship.

Zhao Yi wants to maintain his number one position in Haicheng, while the Harmony Symphony Orchestra wants to compete for the number one position in Haicheng.

That's it.

It has not yet reached the point of malicious competition.

It was precisely this point that allowed Chen Qiu to obtain the right to use the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra Concert Hall.

The people in the car were a little noisy.

Everyone was laughing and chatting.

Chen Qiu didn't stop him either.

The most important thing is that everyone is happy.

Chen Qiu just looked calmly in the direction of the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra Concert Hall, waiting for the arrival of the vehicle.

Less than half an hour later, the vehicle stopped at the door of Haicheng Symphony Orchestra Concert Hall.

Everyone got out of the car quickly, packed up their things, and prepared to go backstage.

Although everyone is not particularly familiar with the backstage of the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra, they still have some understanding of it.

After all, this is one of the best concert halls in Haicheng. Even if you have never been to a performance here, you have come here to listen to concerts and chase stars.

Therefore, with only a few people who were familiar with the area, they quickly walked to the backstage of the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra's concert hall, took out the chairs, placed them on the stage and prepared to start rehearsing.

Everyone is very serious.

Tonight's performance is extremely important not only to the audience, but also to them.

After all, this performance is the first time that all members of their orchestra have performed since the expansion.

They're not quite sure how well they can play.

Therefore, they are full of expectations.

During the morning rehearsal, everyone basically went through their own parts, practicing a little in this place and getting a feel for the venue.

Chen Qiu did not interfere too much.

He just listened a little bit off the stage, and after making sure that there were no problems with the rehearsal, he went backstage first.

To be precise, I came to their command office.

That is Zhao Yi's office.

Unlike Yu Tu's slightly tycoon-like office, Zhao Yi's office appears small and very similar to Chen Qiu's room.

He is a room full of filing cabinets, and at the end of the filing cabinets there is a table and a chair.

When Chen Qiu walked in, Zhao Yi was reading a book inside.

He was wearing a Chinese suit and glasses on his nose, and it seemed that he had some presbyopia.

But if I remember correctly, Zhao Yi is now in his 50s.

A little presbyopia is actually normal.

He usually looks very gentle, completely different from Yu Tu's strong personality.

It turns out that he has presbyopia, but Yu Tu does not, which is very strange.

When Chen Qiu walked into the room, Zhao Yi took off his glasses from his nose, looked at Chen Qiu at the door, nodded slightly, and spoke calmly.

"Come so early?"

"After all, this is our first time performing in a large concert hall like yours."

Chen Qiu said with a smile.

He looked around Zhao Yi's room and couldn't help but ask Zhao Yi.

"Is your room only this big? Have you ever considered moving to a slightly bigger place? At least, give the guests a chair or sofa?"

"That's not necessary, because if he's a real guest, we have a special reception room. If he's not a guest, why should I ask him to sit down?"

"Really? I've already paid a lot of money to attend your concert for a whole night, but I'm not even considered a guest here? Isn't this too uncomfortable?"

"Who told you to become one of the top three symphony orchestras in Haicheng and plan to catch up with us?"

Zhao Yi stood up and looked at Chen Qiu pretending to be sad. He couldn't help but sigh, walked to him, patted his shoulder, and gestured to him.

"Let's go to the reception room."

After saying that, he took Chen Qiu out and walked towards the orchestra's reception room.

The reception room of the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra is not very big either.

Although it is a reception room, Chen Qiu feels that it is more like a rehearsal room.

After Zhao Yi took Chen Qiu to sit down, he asked Chen Qiu.

"Anything to drink?"

Chen Qiu spread his hands and said, "Whatever."

"Then just plain water."

Without any hesitation, Zhao Yi poured a cup of hot water for Chen Qiu in a paper cup, pushed it in front of Chen Qiu, and asked him.

"Why do you suddenly want to play Mahler this time? If I remember correctly, you seem to have been preparing some small works before. Wouldn't it be more appropriate if it were performed in your own concert hall?"

"There's no other way. We have to train the soldiers. The team has been formed. What will we do if we don't train for the future?"

Chen Qiu said with a smile.

He reached out to take the boiled water that Zhao Yi handed over, took a sip, and put it down involuntarily.

Sure enough, the boiled water in these units tastes the same.

Dry, with a smell of white paper.

Unless you bring a teacup to make tea, forget it.

Chen Qiu continued to Zhao Yi.

"After all, you should know, Conductor Zhao, that the orchestra is developing at a very fast pace, faster than I could have imagined. So everything here is focused on training. We can discuss other things after everyone has gotten used to each other."

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows and said casually, "Oh? Run-in? I've heard many people say that your performances don't need to be run-in anymore."

Chen Qiu laughed out loud.

"How is that possible? It's just the initial run-in. How can it be that fast? The Haicheng Broadcasting, Haicheng Opera House, and Haicheng City next door, haven't these three been running in for almost a year?"

Zhao Yi shook his head: "There's nothing I can do. They are annexing other bands and need to harvest the legacy of other bands. You are different. You are just recruiting people."

Chen Qiu spread his hands: "Recruiting people is the same, they all need to be adjusted. Our orchestra is still small, so it is more difficult to adjust. If so many people are put on the stage, the sound will be a mess. Conductor Zhao Yi, you should know this?"

Chen Qiu pointed to the sky and said to Zhao Yida.

"Before, last year, it should be last year, our orchestra was packed with people, about 110 people, and we held a concert in our concert hall? Remember? At that time, we seemed to have only scored a little over 8 points, not even 9 points at all! Isn't it because the place is small and the sound is not good?"

Having said that, Chen Qiu looked at Zhao Yi with a smile and said to Zhao Yi.

"So, Conductor Zhao Yi, please consider letting our orchestra perform a few more times at your place?" "..."

Zhao Yi glanced at Chen Qiu and rarely looked away.

"Well, if your band really needs it, we can actually still work together in the future."

Chen Qiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Really? How about we sign a contract now?"

Zhao Yi was silent, then spoke bluntly.

"No, I'm just being polite. Don't think too much about it."

"Tsk, stingy."

Chen Qiu shook his head and leaned back in his chair.

Silence fell between the two.

After a long while, Chen Qiu suddenly said.

"Commander Zhao Yi, if I remember correctly, your daughter seems to want to become a commander as well?"

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Nothing, just asking."

Chen Qiu smiled, then slowly said to Zhao Yi.

"I'm just asking, what if I let your daughter come to study at the Harmony Symphony Orchestra? What do you think?"

"..."

Zhao Yi was silent.

His gaze began to waver, but he remained firm.

"No."

“What if she could also bring the conductor of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra with her??”

"I……"

"What if she can become the orchestra's second conductor under my leadership and officially perform for the public?"

"you……"

"Conductor Zhao, although Zhao Zitong's professional level may be a little weak, I have to admit that her ability to coordinate the orchestra is the strongest I have ever seen. I think if she can make good use of her talent, perhaps in the future, she will have the opportunity to take over your position?"

Chen Qiu's face was full of smiles, and he spoke to Zhao Yida like a devil's whisper.

Zhao Yi fell silent.

He didn't know what to say better.

But seriously.

Chen Qiu's words attracted him.

He is really worried about his daughter now.

Although I don't expect my daughter to really take over my job in the future, if she can rely on giving orders to make a living, then it does seem like a good path to take.

Especially when there was no way for him to get her into his band.

Zhao Yi did start to think.

Chen Qiu didn't say much, just let Zhao Yi think about it.

He pulled a tablet out of his bag and began to read, twirling his pen, preparing for tonight's performance.

While the two were in a daze, Wang Hai pushed the door open.

He immediately saw Chen Qiu flipping through the music score, his eyes lit up and he laughed.

"Hey, I guessed that you were here right away, Chen Qiu! You're awesome, Chen Qiu! The Happy Group is ready to go on an expedition! How's it going? Tell me, do you have any other plans besides our Haicheng? I'll book a ticket and go to your concert!"

"We'll talk about this later. We haven't negotiated for venues in other places yet."

Chen Qiu stood up with a smile and bumped fists with Wang Hai.

Wang Hai sat aside without any restraint, poured himself a cup of hot water, looked at Zhao Yi, and raised his eyebrows.

"But Chen Qiu, you were able to negotiate the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra as the first stop right away. I didn't expect this. So how much benefit did you give Zhao Yi?"

"Basically, they are all full. Tsk tsk, Zhao Yi has sucked a lot of our blood. Commander Zhao Yi, you must perform well in your performance next time! Otherwise, you will be sorry for our blood transfusion!"

Chen Qiu smiled and joked to Zhao Yi.

After hearing this, Zhao Yi couldn't help but smile helplessly. He put Chen Qiu's proposal aside for the time being and chatted casually with Chen Qiu and Wang Hai.

I don’t know when.

Chen Qiu, standing in front of the two of them, has gradually evolved from an ordinary student into a true top commander.

There was no hierarchy in their communication, it was just normal chatting.

Looking at Chen Qiu's extraordinary conversation, Zhao Yi felt old for the first time.

Under Zhao Yi's sight, Chen Qiu chatted briefly for a few words, then picked up the tablet in his hand and said to Zhao Yi with a smile.

"Commander Zhao, you can think about my suggestion for a moment. If possible, give me a call later and I will come over."

After saying that, he also greeted Wang Hai, told him to have fun, and then walked away.

The lounge fell into silence.

After hearing what Chen Qiu had just said, Wang Hai couldn't help but feel concerned and asked Zhao Yi.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, what did Chen Qiu mean by that just now? What's your suggestion?"

"Nothing, just a collaboration."

Zhao Yi shook his head and did not give a direct answer. Instead, he nodded at Wang Hai and pointed to the door of the lounge.

"Come on, let's go to the front desk and watch their rehearsal."

……

……

……

Chen Qiu didn't know that Zhao Yi and Wang Hai had quietly slipped into the concert hall.

He didn't quite realize that in addition to these two people, a lot of conductors, musicians, concertmasters, and music critics from various places had entered the room.

It was clearly just a band rehearsal, but the back of the concert hall was packed with people, as if it were a formal performance.

Chen Qiu didn't look back, there was only music in his mind.

He just calmly took the music score in his hand and began to lead the orchestra to go through the music sections several times again. Then he listened to the acoustics of the concert hall, asked the orchestra to make slight adjustments, and then went through it a few more times.

Under his control, the orchestra's hold on the concert hall became increasingly stronger.

Everyone also has their own ideas about the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra Concert Hall.

This concert hall is indeed the strongest concert hall in Haicheng, and the musical effect is really strong.

I wish they could have such a big concert hall someday.

Everyone couldn't help but think so.

But these are digressions.

After the rehearsal, everyone went out for a quick meal and then had the band's makeup team do their makeup, waiting for the official performance.

Under Zhao Yi's arrangement, Chen Qiu also entered his own temporary command room.

The words "Chen Qiu" were hung on the door of his office.

He stayed alone in the room, flipping through the music score in his hand, then closed his eyes and meditated.

Let yourself feel the music more deeply.

until……

The time came to six o'clock in the afternoon.

There was a knock on the door.

The staff of the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra spoke loudly to Chen Qiu.

"Conductor Chen Qiu, it's time to get ready to go on stage!"

"it is good!"

Chen Qiu nodded, closed the tablet in his hand, picked up a pencil at random from the side, and walked out of the lounge.

Come backstage at the orchestra.

The symphony orchestra is full of people.

Waiting for Chen Qiu's order.
