The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 421 Conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra: Chen Qiu!
The huge aircraft passed through the thick clouds and leaned down towards Berlin Tegel Airport. The cold November rain enveloped Germany, revealing an unspeakable depression. The scattered Christmas decorations on the streets were trying to provide the only trace of warmth for this land.

Here we are in Berlin again.

Chen Qiu shifted his gaze from the music score in his hand and looked at the scenery outside the porthole, lost in thought.

Completely different from the light landings in China, the plane under him landed heavily on the airport without hesitation, and then drifted on the runway at a speed of over 100 hours.

In just a few minutes, the seat belt sign above our heads went out and the plane stopped at the jet bridge.

Chen Qiu reached out to unbuckle the seat belt around his abdomen. Before he could stand up, a German flight attendant not far away ran towards Chen Qiu, smiling and extending her hand in English with a German accent.

"Commander Chen Qiu, please sit down first. I'll help you with your luggage."

"Thank you."

Chen Qiu looked at him with a smile, nodded, and then sat down in his seat peacefully.

There was a lot of noise in the economy class behind me. Many people were busy getting up, picking up their luggage and preparing to leave. However, due to crowd control, they could only stay in the aisle without moving.

Chen Qiu, and Qin Xian, who was dozing off not far away, sat peacefully in their seats, waiting for the flight attendant to arrange everything.

Over the past few years, the Harmony Symphony Orchestra has developed extremely rapidly. In addition to the growth of the orchestra's own strength, the orchestra has also opened a second orchestra and established a complete professional training process.

Therefore, Chen Qiu also separated his life from the Harmony Symphony Orchestra. Apart from performing one big show with the orchestra every month, he spent the rest of his time traveling around.

It is not easy for him to get involved in major domestic orchestras, but he has basically served as temporary conductor in many orchestras in neighboring countries, and has received great response in the global music community.

Chen Qiu & Tokyo Symphony Orchestra.

Chen Qiu & Seoul Symphony Orchestra.

Chen Qiu & Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra.

From classical, to romantic, to modern.

Chen Qiu can basically master all the musical styles you can imagine.

He can even lead the orchestra to perform some local-style works, such as some Japanese anime works and some South Korean KPOP works, to entertain the audience.

Therefore, tickets for performances in Japan and South Korea were even hard to come by.

All the classical music lovers went crazy and followed Chen Qiu's Asian tour.

Some people even applied for a visa to travel to Haicheng just to listen to a performance by Chen Qiu and the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

It can basically be said that the Harmony Symphony Orchestra has become a local business card of Haicheng.

A business card more dazzling than the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra.

Zhao Yi has given up struggling. He only hopes that his daughter, Zhao Zitong, can learn something from Chen Qiu and not be abducted by the gangsters from Hangzhou next door.

As for the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra...it's just like that, as long as they're alive.

Chen Qiu and the Harmony Symphony Orchestra gradually became more financially secure with so many densely packed flying performances in Asia, and even signed a cooperation agreement with an airline.

This also means that Chen Qiu, who used to fly economy class, can now fly business class.

There's no way, the performance is too tiring.

If he didn't take the business class seat and rest on the plane, Chen Qiu felt that he might die of exhaustion on the stage before leading the band to become the world's number one.

This time he brought Qin Xian from Haicheng to Berlin because of the invitation from the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. They invited him to be the conductor of the orchestra and lead the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra to perform.

A charity show.

Chen Qiu actually didn't have much desire to take the orchestra to perform at the Berlin Philharmonic's concert hall.

After all, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra's concert hall is just like that. He has performed there so many times that he has become accustomed to it.

Although the design is a little more modern, a little more chic and a little more handsome.

But after all, this is still a concert hall, not something else, it's all the same.

With the support of Lianhe Group, they invited extremely professional and awesome domestic and foreign designers to design a top-notch concert hall. The feeling of performing in their own home is even better than that of the Berlin Philharmonic Hall.

Why did Chen Qiu go to Berlin specifically for a performance?

but……

This is an invitation from the conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic.

It is to let him conduct the Berlin Philharmonic.

This was very attractive to Chen Qiu, who was once an apprentice conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra II and had always been an apprentice and had never been promoted.

The Berlin Philharmonic is like his white moonlight school beauty.

He had worked hard for this band for half his life in his previous life, but he had not succeeded until he traveled through time.

He didn't expect that Bai Yueguang would actually ask him to give her orders and let him do whatever he wanted to her.

If he can endure this, Chen Qiu is willing to call him a god.

Chen Qiu closed his eyes, took a breath for a moment, and after calming himself down for a while, he looked back at the tablet in his hand, opened the invitation sent to him by the Berlin Philharmonic, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Berlin Philharmonic...

The world's top three symphony orchestras...

The orchestra gave birth to numerous top conductors, and even led the progress of classical music. It symbolized the indomitable spirit and used music to resist the high-pressure rule of the Third Reich...

I never thought that there would be a day when they would ask me for help.

The smile on Chen Qiu's face could hardly be concealed.

Qin Xian, who was standing next to him, had just opened his eyes when he noticed Chen Qiu's somewhat perverted smile and the tablet invitation in his hand. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Chen Qiu is conducting the Berlin Philharmonic, isn't it? Is that so important?"

"Tsk, you don't understand this."

Chen Qiu pursed his lips, looked at Qin Xian beside him unhappily, and said in feigned anger.

"This is the top three in the world! Can the invitations from the top three in the world be the same?"

"Now our band has entered the top 20 in the world. I think it's about right. If we work harder, we may be able to surpass them."

“We can surpass them, after all, RCO is ahead in performance, but if we want to build our own brand, it is not something that we can accomplish with just one or two generations.”

Chen Qiu smiled helplessly.

Before he could say anything, the flight attendant who had carried his luggage came over and nodded to Chen Qiu with a smile and reverence.

"Commander Chen Qiu, the hatch has been opened, you can set off now."

"Okay, thank you."

"Well... there is something I want to trouble you with, Conductor Chen Qiu, can you sign an autograph for me? I really like your performance in Tokyo with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra. It was the best Brahms I have ever heard! Barely one of them! I even bought your CD! Look!"

"of course can!"

Chen Qiu smiled and nodded, reached out to take the CD handed to him by the flight attendant, signed his name on the surface of the CD, then handed it back to her with a gentle smile.

"If you have the chance, you can come to the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, where I will perform a concert."

"Berlin Philharmonic Hall? You mean... you want to cooperate with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra?"

"Of course!"

"Ah, ah, ah... That's true. Thank you so much for reminding me of this news. I will definitely try my best to be there! Thank you!"

After saying that, the flight attendant bowed vigorously to Chen Qiu, and jumped towards the chief flight attendant in front, as if she was going to discuss the shift change with him.

In response, Chen Qiu just smiled, reached out to pick up the suitcase that had been placed at his feet, and prepared to get up and leave.

Looking at Chen Qiu being so cool, Qin Xian, who was standing near Chen Qiu, twitched his mouth slightly. He quickly pulled his luggage to catch up and said behind Chen Qiu.

"Aren't you afraid that Su Yue will hit you when she turns around if you say that?"

"What's wrong with me? I was just signing autographs for my fans. You should be gentle with your fans, otherwise it will easily offend people. But you..."

Chen Qiu glanced at Qin Xian behind him and couldn't help but complain,
"What on earth did Li Miaomiao do to you? Why did you become like a monk? First, he replaced the musician who turned the music sheets beside him with a man, and then he didn't allow any girls to enter his chief lounge. Even Yueyue had to wait outside the door to see you. Is Li Miaomiao so strict with you?"

"No, I'm keeping myself clean."

"You are so self-righteous. Did you know that people in the band are saying you are gay? If Li Miaomiao hadn't officially announced to you that she was going to get married, I'm afraid all kinds of gossip would be flying around in the band." "?"

Qin Xian was stunned and almost tripped over his suitcase. He quickly took two steps forward and asked.

"Is that really the rumor in the band?"

"Why else? Why do you think so many men in the band come to talk to you?"

"what?"

Qin Xian almost had a computer crash. He never expected that his self-disciplined behavior would turn out like this. Chen Qiu almost couldn't hold it back. He turned around and slapped him on the back of the head, saying unhappily.

"I was just teasing you, but you took it seriously."

"Oh... That's good."

Qin Xian let out a long sigh of relief, followed Chen Qiu obediently, stood in line at the customs, and waited to pass through customs.

Although Tegel Airport is an international airport, it is a very small airport.

You get off the airplane jet bridge, and just walk across the jet bridge and down the stairs to reach the customs area.

Because the passengers getting off the plane are first-class and business-class passengers, the customs clearance process is very fast.

If we wait until all the economy class passengers at the back get off the plane, then the people queuing at customs at this moment may be able to line up directly on the jet bridge.

Chen Qiu handed the passport in his hand to the huge German customs policeman who was yawning. The policeman squinted his eyes and flipped through the passport in Chen Qiu's hand, which was almost covered with entry stickers, and asked casually.

"What are you doing in Germany?"

"Come to perform. I am the specially invited conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra."

Chen Qiu smiled and handed the invitation letter to the customs officer, and the slightly sleepy head of the customs officer instantly became clear.

What the hell?
Guest conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic?

Almost everyone who is German, and not even Berliner, knows the value of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

This is basically equivalent to a signboard of their will to the outside world.

Chen Qiu, the guest conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, gives people the feeling that someone suddenly comes and tells you that he is the new president of BMW and Mercedes-Benz when you are passing through customs.

Someone as awesome as you are, why didn’t you take the special passage? Without a bunch of people surrounding you, you just came here all by yourself?
You are...right?
The customs policeman quickly picked up the glasses at hand and carefully studied the invitation letter from the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he looked.

What the hell!

This is true!
and……

He looked at the beginning of the invitation letter and the smiling Chinese man in front of him, and couldn't help swallowing.

This person is Dr!

He is a doctor!

In Germany, the title of doctor is almost the most prestigious in the world.

Everywhere, PhDs are given a special privilege.

You can print your own PhD anywhere.

For example, on your ID card, your home number, your social security card, and your plane ticket.

Even when you go out to book a ticket and choose a title, in addition to the normal Mr and Ms, there is also a special Dr.

If someone calls you Mr or Ms instead of Dr when they go out, you can even write a letter of complaint to sue him for insulting you.

The title of Dr is equivalent to a superior status in Germany.

And now.

An artist with the title of Dr, the honorary conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, a national treasure-level orchestra in Germany, and an artist appeared in front of the customs officer.

This buff is stacked up completely.

The customs officer did not dare to slack off at all and quickly stamped the passport in Chen Qiu's hand, then said respectfully.

"Dr. Chen, welcome to Germany."

"Thank you."

Chen Qiu reached out to take the passport and walked past the customs. Qin Xian followed closely behind and handed over his passport and the invitation letter from the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Different from Chen Qiu.

Qin Xian did not receive the title of honorary doctor.

After completing his master's degree at Haicheng Conservatory of Music, he was too lazy to continue his studies. He only occasionally went to communicate with those top masters and did not care much about his academic qualifications.

Anyway, he will follow Chen Qiu and plan to work with Chen Qiu to build the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra into the world's top symphony orchestra. Why should he care so much about his academic qualifications?

Could it be that when others see that you are the conductor of the world's top orchestra with a master's degree, they will directly reject your offer?
The customs policeman was relieved when he saw that Qin Xian did not have a doctorate in his identity, but soon he saw that the orchestra had invited Qin Xian to be a special violinist, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

After quickly checking that Qin Xian's passport and visa had not expired, he stamped it without any hesitation and said respectfully.

"Okay, you can go directly through. I wish you good luck in your future performances."

"Thank you."

Qin Xian smiled and nodded, took back the passport from the customs, and followed Chen Qiu out of the airport.

Tegel Airport is very small, so small that there are only three steps from customs to the baggage claim area, and after picking up the luggage and going through customs, it only takes a total of 3 steps.

Neither Chen Qiu nor Qin Xian brought any extra luggage, and their bags were only filled with some sheet music and musical instruments.

So the two of them soon stood outside the airport.

The sky in Berlin is still as gloomy as ever. No sunlight can be seen under the thick clouds. The surrounding environment is even more dead gray, making people feel a strong sense of mono no aware in their hearts.

But for Chen Qiu and Qin Xian, they did not feel any loss or sadness. On the contrary, their hearts were full of pride.

Chen Qiu was standing outside the airport terminal, holding his suitcase, looking at everything around him, especially looking at the forest not far away through the desolate terminal. He couldn't help but laugh and said to Qin Xian.

"What a pity that Yueyue was on tour in the United States and didn't come. Otherwise, you control the string instruments, Yueyue controls the wind instruments, and I can take everyone in the orchestra and turn the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra into my own orchestra, letting them feel the oppression from the East!"

"Well, it would be nice if Miaomiao came over. She could help us arrange everything and we wouldn't have to worry about anything. It's a pity that she's busy with the second group's affairs recently, but..."

Qin Xian looked at Chen Qiu and also smiled.

"But just like in the Second Band of the Haicheng Conservatory of Music Student Symphony Orchestra, even if there are only two of us, we can make those people in Europe remember us firmly!"

"Tsk, if you say that, Ruijia and Aigu will be sad."

"Then let them be sad. There's nothing we can do. They still have to organize the second band and rock band, so they don't have time to come. If they come, then what's the difference between that and our entire band coming?"

"Too."

Chen Qiu nodded and stretched out his fist towards Qin Xian, and Qin Xian did the same.

The two men lightly bumped fists.

As the two fists fell, a huge Mercedes-Benz van stopped in front of them.

A reckless young Asian man in a suit quickly stepped out from the passenger seat, walked up to Chen Qiu and Qin Xian, and apologized.

"Sorry, sorry, there was a small incident with the band and we are a little late. I am really sorry."

"It's okay. We just came out of customs. There's no need to worry."

Chen Qiu nodded, and he and Qin Xian sat in the back seat of the van. The young man put their luggage in the back luggage compartment, then quickly sat in the passenger seat, nodded to the driver next to him, and asked him to drive in the direction of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

When the vehicle entered a stable driving state, the man breathed a sigh of relief, leaned his head out from the front seat, smiled and spoke in Chinese to Chen Qiu and others.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Suzuki Shu, the concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra's Second Orchestra. You can just call me Suzuki."

"Welcome to the free city of Germany, the city where world culture converges, the intersection of classic and modern, Berlin!"

“On behalf of the Berlin Philharmonic, I extend to you the orchestra’s warmest welcome.”

"The honorary violinist of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Qin Xian, and..."

"Honorary Conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Dr. Chen Qiu!"
