The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 101 Reinforcement of the Second Regiment

Awesome!
This was the only thought of everyone present when they heard the results of Chen Qiu and his Haiyin Second Regiment.

Even though they said they had seen the report card of Haiyin 10nd Regiment before Chen Qiu came, they still couldn't believe what they heard after hearing that Haiyin nd Regiment scored a perfect score of points again.

Full marks.

Is this really a score that the art industry can achieve?
It's like a Chinese composition.

No, to be precise, it should be more difficult than getting a perfect score in Chinese composition.

There is actually still some room for choice in Chinese composition, and there are a lot of various perfect-scoring compositions released every year.

But in the art industry, you not only need to express yourself in music, you also need to allow others to understand your expression and understand all the facts you want to state.

It's not simple.

In other words, it's very difficult.

In this kind of competition, it is actually relatively easy to get high scores. People don't have particularly high expectations for those high-level art troupes. They just hope that they can perform a complete performance.

But full marks, this is basically impossible.

What you need to conquer is all the judges and teachers present, so that each of them will voluntarily give you the highest score.

As long as one person thinks you only have a score of 9, your score may drop directly from 10 to 9.9.

Just like the normal distribution.

The points closer to the middle will be relatively more, and the chances of getting points toward the edge will be smaller and smaller.

In this case, if you get a perfect score of 10, how can you say something awesome to Chen Qiu and his Haiyin Second Group?

Even if you let people from Haiyin Group pass by, you may not be able to perform well enough.

Therefore, the wind instrument teacher standing next to Professor Li, who had previously graded Chen Qiu and the others, immediately raised his thumb and said.

"Yes, classmate Chen Qiu, and all the students in the second band of your Haiyin student orchestra, you all performed very well. When I listened to it at the scene, I was almost stunned. This is really our Haiyin's Can students perform it? Our Haiyin students are actually so good?
It had nothing to do with the school, it only had to do with the identity of the judges. At that time, I didn’t have any extra thoughts at all. My only thought was, full marks, must be full marks! If such a performance cannot get a perfect score of 10, I really don’t know what kind of performance can be recognized by everyone else and achieve such results in the national competition! "

This is what he said to Chen Qiu as a judge of the competition.

And his words also resonated with other teachers in the office.

They couldn't help but nodded and spoke in approval.

"It's really amazing. The score of 10 points should be the best score in a national competition since our school was founded, right?"

"Although this national competition is not as valuable as competitions such as the Golden Bell Award, it does count as a national competition."

"10 points in the national competition, no matter how ordinary or low their scoring standards are, this perfect score is enough to shut up many people, right?"

"More than shutting up? When I see this result anyway, I just want to say it's awesome. I have been teaching for so long and I have never seen someone get a perfect score in this kind of art competition. There are some who get high scores, but a perfect score, tsk tsk …”

"It's a pity that the Huaguo Conservatory of Music and the Central Conservatory of Music didn't send anyone here this year. Otherwise, it feels like they could have crushed these two schools. It's really a pity."

"You're right. Central Central School is actually pretty good. The Huaguo Conservatory of Music has been saying recently that they are second and we are third. It really gives people a headache. It's lucky that they didn't participate this time. Otherwise, huh snort!"

"That's it!"

The teachers, associate professors, and some professors chattered and discussed.

This achievement is really awesome, so awesome that no matter how much you brag about it, it’s not an exaggeration.

Even the vice-principals smiled and put their hands in front of their mouths, covering their faces with their hands to chat quietly with the people next to them, so that their voices would not be heard by others.

After all, they have a higher status and it is less easy for them to say bad words.

If they were young, they would at least have to curse.

Then sigh.

"Fuck, you're so fucking awesome!"

This kind of achievement is no longer a core student. It can be said in one sentence. This is simply a direct promotion from an outer disciple to an inner disciple of the school, or even a core disciple.

The kind that cannot be praised enough.

Even more, they need to start thinking.

Are there any other schools that are trying to poach Chen Qiu and some of his members from the Haiyin Second Regiment, and then let them represent their schools in the competition?

Looking back, when everyone was still thinking about how to reward Chen Qiu and his Haiyin Second Regiment, it would be fun if Chen Qiu ran away with the Haiyin Second Regiment.

Therefore, several vice-presidents walked to Professor Li and whispered to him several times. Professor Li nodded clearly, stretched out his hand to interrupt the discussion about Chen Qiu by others around him, and turned to look at Chen Qiu. Asked him.

"Chen Qiu, to congratulate you on winning the national championship this time, is there anything you want? You can tell me."

"Ok?"

Chen Qiu glanced at the many teachers around him and couldn't help but blinked.

"Uh...now?"

"It's okay. After all, you can be considered as bringing glory to the school. Although the cash rewards may be very small, you can still get some normal honorary rewards, and there are also some things in the school that can also be convenient for you. "

Professor Li spoke openly, and the teachers around him also listened openly.

They looked at Chen Qiu, slightly curious about what kind of reward Chen Qiu wanted.

After all, in the final analysis, this is a national championship.

Even if the value of this national championship is not high enough, in the final analysis, it is still a national championship. If you directly ask the school to guarantee a postgraduate degree, or to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D., you might be able to consider it.

However, Chen Qiu's eyes were not on Professor Li. He just looked at the wind instrument teacher who was standing aside and looking at him with a smile. He had previously scored him during the national competition. Nodding towards him.

Under the slightly surprised look of the teacher, Chen Qiu slowly spoke.

"I want a brass band."

"Huh? Wind instrument?"

Professor Li was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the judge teacher standing aside.

Not only Professor Li, but other teachers also looked at him.

The originally smiling face of the wind instrument department chair was also stunned.

He frowned slightly, looked at Chen Qiu curiously, and asked tentatively.

"You mean...you want a wind player classmate to join your second troupe?"

"Well, yes, that's what I meant."

Chen Qiu nodded and explained to the teacher.

"Because teacher, you have listened to our performance before, and you should be able to tell that the weakest point of our second group now is our wind instruments. Our wind instruments are not strong enough. The principals do not lead the wind instruments on their own. The ability to play music, overall, sounds looser.

If this group of people were just normal role musicians, it would actually be pretty good, and the foundation of music would be pretty good, but if you want to go a little further, then it's not quite enough...

When I played Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony in the finals of the previous national competition, I could actually clearly hear the problems in our wind section, as well as the problems that arise in our entire orchestra. "

"Imbalance of the orchestral strings!"

Chen Qiu took this question up alone and said it to everyone.

"Now we have almost two or three people in the string section who can drive the entire orchestra forward. For example, Qin Xian in our orchestra. Teachers should know him."

"Well, I know!" A string teacher standing in the back nodded, "The one who ranked first in the entrance exam, and then his grades plummeted after enrollment, and he was almost ready to drop out, I know him, the one who performed next Mendelssohn's Concerto in E minor felt very good, and I liked his performance very much." "Oh, you said it was him, so his name is Qin Xian? I suddenly remembered that I also know him, and his string music It’s really strong.”

There were other teachers nearby who responded.

Facing the responses from various teachers, Chen Qiu nodded and continued.

"Qin Xian is the concertmaster of our orchestra and is mainly responsible for the interpretation of our string parts. He can basically control all the string parts in the entire orchestra, so that everyone can listen to him carefully and follow his steps. To play, normally he should also need to cover the wind instrument side, but there is a problem..."

"There's no one on Guan Yue's side who can resist the tripod?"

The wind instrument teacher nodded and spoke clearly.

He continued what Chen Qiu said.

"Well, if I remember correctly, this is indeed the case. The wind players in your orchestra are a bit weak. I have always wanted to tell you this before, but I didn't expect you to notice it yourself in advance... …”

"Actually, I noticed it a long time ago, but I never had time to say it because of time."

Chen Qiu was helpless.

He did notice this early on, but it was too late to advance.

The string section has Qin Xian on the treble, the Fatty Chief and Rui Jia on the bass are both pretty good, and there is also an Ai drum for the percussion. Although the other percussion is a bit mixed, the Ai drum can drive the entire percussion, so there is no need to in a hurry.

So the only problem is that it really doesn't work on the wind band side.

And it’s not that one of the two pipes is not good, but that neither the brass band nor the woodwind band is good.

They can only accomplish the most basic performance goals without making any mistakes, but if they are expected to perform strongly, then forget it.

Although their level may be much better than those from other schools in the national competition, it is probably just a little more expression of their own without making mistakes.

It's hard to find anything particularly eye-catching.

So Chen Qiu said that they ensured that there was no problem with the band's foundation, but if they wanted to take the band one step further, there would be problems.

If the band wants to go one step further and score points in the Nine Schools League, then they are a very weak project.

To take the simplest example, for example, Chen Qiu's orchestra performed in tandem with another orchestra.

Chen Qiu led his orchestra to get very high scores, but the flaws in the wind instruments left a deep impression on the judges.

They felt that the wind instruments were holding the orchestra back.

If the latter orchestra could know this news in advance and let the orchestra play a piece headed by wind instruments, to give the simplest example, such as the bolero played by Chen Qiu before, what would the jury give? What about points?
The wind instruments overwhelmed Chen Qiu's orchestra, and they arranged the strings and percussion, which were inferior to the second orchestra, so that there would be as few loopholes as possible.

With this arrangement, the band will have a high probability of getting a higher score than the second group, and defeat the second group in some aspects.

It might be fine under normal circumstances. After all, it's a promotion system, but what if it's the finals?

Or is it not a promotion system? To put it another way, what about a points competition?
Then Chen Qiu's second band would easily lose many chances to win the championship because the wind instruments were not as good as the one behind his band.

Therefore, for Chen Qiu, what he values ​​most now is to make the people on the wind instrument perform better and give a more beautiful interpretation as much as possible.

Let the wind instrument not become a loophole in the orchestra.

In response, the wind instrument teacher did not respond immediately.

He just touched his chin and fell into thought.

After a long time, he finally spoke to Chen Qiu.

"Okay, I will discuss it with other teachers in the Orchestra Department, but I can't give you an answer now, because it involves the teams in the Nine Schools League. We still need to continue to discuss how to participate in the Nine Schools League. The discussion is not over yet, so I’m sorry, we have finished discussing how to arrange the wind instruments of your second group, and we will give you an answer soon.”

"Is that so? Okay..." Chen Qiu nodded helplessly, stood up, returned the document in his hand to Professor Li, and nodded to the other teachers around him, "Then I don't need anything else. If there's nothing else for you teachers, If so, I’ll leave first?”

"Okay, you go first. If you still have any questions, you can go to your counselor. We have already told your counselor. If the counselor can't handle it, then you can come to Li Professor, if you have any problems, we will definitely try our best to help you solve them!"

"Okay, thank you teachers!"

"It's okay! If you have any questions, come to us. As long as we don't violate the principles, we can help and we will definitely help. Don't worry!"

After that, the wind instrument teacher took two steps forward and sent Chen Qiu out of the door.

After watching Chen Qiu disappear from their sight, the room fell into silence.

Professor Li stepped aside at this time.

As a professor in the command department, he does not participate in such discussions.

And the wind instrument teacher just now...

He turned to look at the people in the room and asked them calmly.

"So, what to do now? As mentioned before, there are two options. The first option is to merge the first and second groups to participate in the nine-school league. The second option is to find some wind musicians. What do you think about letting our top students, especially those who have just participated in the competition and have nothing to do in school, join the second group?"

"I think it's better to let the first group and the second group perform one show each to see the gap between the two teams now, and then let's talk about it?"

"I think it might be better to let the second team compete directly. After all, the second team has just participated in the national competition and their morale is high. They may be able to perform better."

"It is not impossible to merge the two regiments, but the requirements for command will be relatively high..."

"Isn't Chen Qiu's commanding very strong? After the merger of the two regiments, a hundred people shouldn't be a problem for him, right?"

"He is still just a student. A student conducts a very large orchestra of more than a hundred people. Are you crazy or am I crazy? He definitely can't conduct it alone. At the very least, you have to bring Wang Hai over, or even If it doesn't work, bring Zhao Yi over too! As a guarantee, let Chen Qiu protect him, otherwise I won't be able to trust Chen Qiu to take command."

"We have been discussing this matter for a long time. I am just the second one. After giving the second regiment a top wind instrument student, let the first regiment and the second regiment have another fight."

"But is it necessary?"

"Personally, I think it's still necessary. People in Yituan are agitated right now, and Commander Li Tian doesn't know where he has been recently, and he can't see anyone, so I think it's totally okay to give it a try. If it doesn't work..."

"If it doesn't work, just dismantle the first regiment and merge it into the second regiment, and then reorganize the first regiment and the second regiment according to Chen Qiu's idea?"

"I don't think it's impossible. In the final analysis, the nine-school league is the most important. I think it doesn't matter whether we have a team for the national competition or not."

"But those students in the second group may be sad. They finally won the championship and the team is gone."

"I don't think it's okay for them to sacrifice a little bit for the sake of the Nine Schools League Championship. It's really not possible to put them on the bench. Giving them a chance to play may be a stumbling block, but not letting them play, what do you think?"

"It feels a bit cruel..."

Everyone discussed in low voices.

Originally, the second group was only used to encourage the first group to move forward, and I wanted to see the potential of the first group.

But I didn't expect that after the second group's level of strength increased, it would not only inspire the first group, but even have a feeling of surpassing the first group.

Faced with the strength of the first and second regiments, the school fell into thinking and didn't know what to choose.

On one side is his old band, the Haiyin Group, which is strong but has no success.

On the other side is his own new band, whose strength is unknown, but the second band won the national championship.

They were really in a tangle.

However, just when everyone was struggling, the wind music teacher from before suddenly picked up the phone, stretched out his hand to calm everyone down, and then connected the phone.

After just two beeps, listening to the sound coming from his ears, the wind instrument teacher said "hmm" several times, then nodded repeatedly, then hung up the phone and smiled at everyone.

"Okay, there's no need to discuss it now. I just received a phone call. I think otherwise, what do you think about asking Su Yue for her opinion?"

"Su Yue?"
