The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 11 Commander Chen

Chen Qiu was actually not very impressed with Wang Hai.

He just knew that Wang Hai seemed to have worked as a conductor's assistant in his home orchestra, helping the orchestra make targeted modifications during daily practice in accordance with the main conductor's requirements.

Later, the band was poached by people from other local bands, and when the band gradually declined, he also left his own band and went out to work alone.

Then after fooling around, he managed to become the chief conductor and orchestra director of a fairly decent orchestra.

Then, this orchestra merged with several other orchestras to form the Haicheng Philharmonic Orchestra.

With his personal strength and charm, he became the conductor of the Haicheng Philharmonic Orchestra and concurrently served as the orchestra director.

This is where Chen Qiu's understanding of this person ends.

These are all the memories about Wang Hai.

As for Wang Hai's level and strength, and his way of dealing with the world, he didn't know much about it.

Chen Qiu walked to the door on the other side of the concert hall alone, leaning against the wall in a daze.

The last few conductors behind them also came out to perform.

But I don’t know if it was because they were too deeply affected by the conduct they just conducted. The two conductors’ understanding of the orchestra was a bit too shallow, and they were unable to stimulate the enthusiasm of the orchestra.

Not to mention allowing the orchestra to follow their pace and interpret their understanding of this piece of music.

So the last two people had been rehearsing for about five or six minutes, and the whole piece had not yet been performed, when the professors called a timeout and told them to step off the stage early and go back to wait for notification.

Chen Qiu just waited for a while, and Wang Hai opened the door and walked out of the concert hall, looked at Chen Qiu, shook his long flowing hair, reached out and patted Chen Qiu's shoulder, and laughed a few times.

"Haha, Chen Qiu, it's been a long time! I didn't expect you to have made such great progress! It's been three days since we left, so I'm going to be impressed!"

He walked up to Chen Qiu, looked Chen Qiu up and down, and nodded.

"Not bad, not bad. Your whole temperament has also changed. It's completely different from when you were a child. I feel like you're almost unrecognizable."

"Um...thank you?"

Chen Qiu looked at Wang Hai in front of him, feeling slightly embarrassed.

He wasn't used to talking to someone he knew so well.

After all, even the original owner was not familiar with Wang Hai.

Wang Hai also seemed to notice the awkward atmosphere between the two, and he couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Ahem, what about that? Your performance today was very good. I really like the bolero you played. You played very well!"

"Well, thank you." Chen Qiu nodded and said with a hint of confusion, "But this shouldn't involve bringing me out alone to talk, right?"

"of course not!"

Wang Hai grinned.

He took a look at the surrounding situation, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to them, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chen Qiu.

"I just didn't expect that you would actually go the direction of conducting. When I first learned conducting, your parents helped me a lot. I didn't expect that something like this would happen later. I'm also sorry for what happened to them. ...But since you have also embarked on this path, let me briefly tell you some of my thoughts on command."

Chen Qiu was stunned. He didn't expect that Wang Hai would actually come out and tell him this?
Every conductor has a different understanding of conducting. Before every new conductor takes the stage, he must absorb other conductors' understanding of music and their thinking about "conducting" itself before he can become a new conductor.

Therefore, if an old conductor is willing to lead a new conductor, the new conductor will grow a lot and quickly.

Because of this, every conductor's understanding of command is basically in a state of self-respect.

Wang Hai didn't pay attention to Chen Qiu's expression, he just said easily.

"The bolero you just played was very good. I can hear a lot of your understanding of bolero, which is great, but there is an obvious problem, that is, your understanding of the orchestra needs to be improved.

Your father has told me about this before. He told me that if you want to be a good conductor, in addition to having a high understanding of the music itself, you must also have a better understanding of your own orchestra. !
If the orchestra given to you is my orchestra, such as the Haicheng Philharmonic Orchestra, I believe you can definitely construct a better bolero, but the orchestra you are accepting now is the Haicheng Conservatory of Music student orchestra.

Their level is in the vocational education period, not professional musicians, so have you found that it is difficult for them to accomplish many of the things you want them to do? "

Chen Qiu was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Hai's words.

To be honest, he never noticed this.

When he first came into contact with an orchestra in his previous life, he was already cooperating and learning with the local philharmonic orchestra.

Then he passed the exam and got admitted to the Berlin Philharmonic, where he served as a trainee conductor and conductor assistant in the second orchestra.

So those people can make the feeling he wants.

He really hasn't thought about this content.

Wang Hai continued to speak without any care.

"Don't worry about this now. After the second band of your college is established, you should have a deeper understanding of this matter. Later you will know the limits of the orchestra and the limits of the conductor. I am just talking to you now. You tell me in advance so that you can be prepared.

And for you, I think you can try to transfer to a department. You don’t need to stay in the conducting department. You can still conduct the orchestra for you. But I think you can ask the school if you can transfer to the piano department. Or the violin department, that's good for you. "

"what?"

Chen Qiu was stunned: "I know the piano, but the violin..."

"The violin cultivates your perception of strings. The initial state of orchestras and orchestras is actually chamber music, and the most classic chamber music is string ensemble. From string ensemble to orchestral ensemble, then to Big symphony orchestra.

So, if you know something about strings, you can try to learn how to play the violin. But if you don’t have a foundation, just pretend I didn’t say it. The piano is also pretty good. The piano can cultivate your perception of harmony. , you can no longer make a living as a conductor, but you can still make a living as a pianist. "

Wang Hai laughed a few times, reached out and patted Chen Qiu's shoulder, grinning and saying: "No matter what, I'm actually quite happy to see you embarking on this path, keep up the good work! Oh, by the way... …”

After he finished speaking, he took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Chen Qiu.

"Congratulations to Chen Qiu!"

"Oh no, it should be now..."

"Commander Chen!"
