The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 110 Chief
Qin Xian stopped when he mentioned this place. He thought about it and didn't know what he should say next.

hobby?

I like to stay there alone in a daze, looking at the sky, the earth, and the water. Does this count?

Occasionally, you like to entertain yourself by making weird works?

Ok……

It always feels so strange.

If you say you like to be in a daze, then you feel a little silly.

But if you say that your hobby is playing the piano in a music school, it always feels a bit too pretentious.

My hobby is playing the piano, and my major is playing the piano, so I am very good at playing the piano now.

There seems to be no problem, but this will definitely be looked down upon by the people here, right?
How could anyone play like this? Who among all the people present has a hobby other than playing the piano?
If they really hate their major, then they won't be able to study it.

At the very least, practicing piano is such a boring job, practicing a phrase dozens of times or hundreds of times, playing a phrase alone for an hour or two, paying close attention to the details, practicing seven or eight hours a day, except for eating and sleeping. There are no extra activities outside.

If you switch to a game, such as playing League of Legends, even if you can enjoy it for a day, can you only practice the details of last-minute finishing and positioning for three or four hours in a row?

Or if you switch to a first-person shooting game, can you spend so many hours practicing guns and polishing the details at the shooting range?
certainly! Many people may be distracted while practicing, but they practice for a long time every day. No matter what, it is difficult to say that they are really not interested in the profession at all.

Therefore, if you say that you like majors, it is just like you have nothing to say.

Therefore, Qin Xian couldn't help but show a troubled look on his face, and he was particularly troubled.

"Well, my interest, interest..."

“Collecting sheet music and reading books.”

Zhao Xi next to him sighed, and at a glance he could see the reason why Qin Xian was in trouble now, and said to everyone.

"As for hobbies and interests, it's actually not necessary. The main thing now is to let everyone get to know each other and eliminate the barriers between each other. Don't be too nervous. Don't be like Qin Xian, who can't figure out what he likes after thinking for a long time."

"..."

Qin Xian was speechless, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said embarrassedly.

"Uh..., actually it's not that I can't figure it out, I just feel a little embarrassed."

"What? Is it possible that your hobby is watching movies?" A member of the Second Group in the distance said excitedly, "Hey, Qin Xian, you told me earlier! My hobby is also watching movies! Let's talk together when we have time! "

"Hey, man down there! See you in Xiaohongshu!" A boy next to him covered his nose in disgust and raised his middle finger at him.

It's obviously a joke.

But he didn't expect that the second group member's eyes lit up and he laughed as if his evil plan had succeeded.

"Huh? Why are you disgusted? What I like most is to watch the records recorded by top musicians. I bought a lot of vinyl records at home, but why are there so many men? What do you think I'm talking about?"

"I..." The man was speechless, and then muttered: "I, I mean the same thing, what do you think it means?"

"Really? Since you think I'm also talking about vinyl records, why did you call me a man with a lower head?"

The man from the second group chuckled.

Seeing the noisy appearance of the two people, Chen Qiu also laughed.

Although it was different from what he thought, it was obvious that some people had become active and were gradually able to accept the fact that one group and two groups merged.

Chen Qiu looked at Qin Xian who was a little embarrassed and said to him.

"Zhao Xi said you like reading books and collecting music scores? Is it true?"

"Ah? Um..."

Qin Xian turned his gaze back from the pair of people behind him, nodded hesitantly to Chen Qiu, then shook his head and said in denial: "Actually, it doesn't count. I just buy an original copy every time I practice a new work. Then I bought some related books to read and study how to perform this piece of music. I feel like this can’t be regarded as reading books and collecting music scores, right?”

"That's it..."

Chen Qiu nodded thoughtfully, then smiled.

"In this way, if you have any unclear music scores, you can come to me later. I have a small music score library there, which contains many music scores, related books, and some vinyl records. If you need it, I can Lend it to you."

Qin Xian was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Ah? So... thank you?"

"Thank you, brothers. The same goes for the rest of you. If you need anything, you can come to me. Although it may not be 100% possible, but if you have it, I can definitely lend it to you. After all... we are one now. Orchestra.”

Chen Qiu's articulation on a band was particularly clear.

Everyone who was still a little noisy gradually stopped making noise after hearing Chen Qiu's words.

Especially a group of people.

The mentality of some of them has changed.

At first I was a little biased towards Chen Qiu.

But they didn't show it on their faces, they still remained cold.

Chen Qiu seems to be a pretty good conductor, especially compared to their previous conductor Li Tian, ​​is Chen Qiu actually better?
Although Chen Qiu is not one of the top five bands in Haicheng, he is just a student like them, but... Chen Qiu was able to lead the team to win the national competition championship by himself, and scored full marks. The presence.

The team led by Li Tian did not reach the finals of the national competition. It only entered the main round and was eliminated after one round.

Although the two cannot be compared, Chen Qiu has been leading his team, and there is a tacit understanding between the two, while Li Tian only rehearses for the people from his school, and other than that, he lets them perform on their own. , his control over the orchestra is not as good as that of Chen Qiu.

But in the final analysis, they felt that even if Li Tian could bring people from that school to rehearse and perform, it would be difficult for them to achieve perfect scores.

Especially Li Tian's submissive character, who can't even control them as a group.

So if Li Tian is replaced by Chen Qiu, they can still accept it.

Moreover, the school not only replaced Li Tian, ​​but also made Wang Hai, the top three band in Haicheng, the leading teacher of their school. This is completely different.

This is equivalent to a complete upgrade!

They are not that reluctant to let go of Li Tian, ​​and their relationship with Li Tian is not that good.

Now that the overall configuration of the band has been greatly upgraded, in fact, to a certain extent, this is quite satisfying.

And the reason why they still have resistance now is actually because of one problem.

It means that the group is gone, and the organization of the group is gone.

This is what makes them most uncomfortable.

As for Chen Qiu, they had no particular resistance.

Although they didn't say anything, Chen Qiu still felt the changes in everyone's emotions.

He groped his chin and stared at them, falling silent.

Just let everyone continue to introduce themselves, so that they can become a little more familiar with each other and reduce a little friction.

It wasn't until the last person, Ai Gu, introduced his basic situation to them in a slightly exaggerated manner that Chen Qiu spoke.

"Now...all of you should have the most basic impressions of each other, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Although there is still some gap, and the first group cannot immediately accept the people from the second group, there is still no problem in communicating under the current situation.

Chen Qiu didn't care about this.

This is not a problem that can be solved in a day or two. If he can solve this problem immediately, then he will be a god, not a student.

Unless he has become one of the top conductors in the world, everyone present is eager to play with him, and they don't even care about their own orchestra.

To put it simply, unless he can let go of his domineering aura and everyone surrenders immediately, the issue of the two groups' integration can only be resolved slowly and bit by bit.

In response, Chen Qiu just picked up the pencil in his hand, turned it around in the air, picked it up with his fingers, pointed at the oboe not far away, and said lightly.

"Oboe, give me a standard pitch and we'll start correcting it."

beep!
The sound of the oboe immediately sounded, and everyone in the orchestra immediately began to follow the oboe and began to calibrate their pitches.

Make sure the entire orchestra is on the same pitch.

hum!
The resonance of the musical instruments filled the entire concert hall at this moment, and the huge roar made Chen Qiudu lose his mind for a moment.

The voice felt much more powerful than before when there were more than fifty people. Too many.

Compared with before, now not only the high and low frequency sounds have accumulated, but the overall sound effect has also changed.

Chen Qiu listened to the voice ringing in his ears, picked up the notebook in his hand, and began to record on it.

There are too many people now.

He could speak directly before, but now it's not just his ears that are tested, but also part of his memory.

Although it was just simple tuning now, Chen Qiu's ears still allowed him to find out the problems of many people present.

[As mentioned before, when the breath of the flute rushes upward, it is still missing a little bit]

[The sound of the oboe is a bit floaty. Although I can play it fairly accurately, I always feel that it is floating up and down, and problems may occur at any time.]

[But the chief flute just now, Diplodocus, his feeling is actually a bit outstanding. It is better than other flutes around him. He feels that he is worthy of the heavy responsibility, but he needs to continue to check]

[Generally speaking, after the members of the Second Troupe joined the First Troupe, the overall situation of the wind band is better than before. Most of the wind musicians in the First Troupe are better professional than those in the Second Troupe, so the Second Troupe only needs to follow There should be no problem if we go together in a group, well, if we go by the previous standards. 】

[However, compared to the wind instruments, the biggest improvement is the string music. The feeling of the string music is much better than before...]

Chen Qiu looked at Zhao Xi and looked at him.

Zhao Xi showed a bright smile and nodded to Chen Qiu.

Chen Qiu nodded slowly with a gentle smile.

[Zhao Xi controls the second violin and hides his music under Qin Xian's voice. The overall feeling is quite refreshing, but this is just tuning, and there is not much to listen to. Overall, It also feels a bit too simple, and I don’t know how he will perform in the music later. 】

[The feeling of the band now is much better than that of the second band before, and the strength has improved significantly. If this is the case, do you feel that you can raise your requirements for them again? 】

Chen Qiu fell into thinking.

Even if it is just a simple tuning and tuning, Chen Qiu can hear a lot of details.

For example, some people with excellent professional skills can tune the music very quickly, and at the same time, their expressions are also extremely accurate.

For those with average professionalism, they are much slower, and there may even be a slight deviation.

This is just the simplest method of analyzing the level, analyzing it from the perspective of tuning speed.

There are many other analysis methods, such as the breath and strength mentioned before.

These details were particularly clear to Chen Qiu's ears, and allowed Chen Qiu to have a deeper understanding of the level of everyone in the orchestra just by tuning.

Chen Qiu stood there, and after the last person's voice fell, he slowly nodded and spoke to everyone.

"Okay, now we have a lot more people in the orchestra. In order to make rehearsal more convenient, we must first decide on the concertmaster of the orchestra, so that we can conduct it better.

As before, I am the conductor. The first person under me is the orchestra principal, the orchestra principal is the voice principal, the voice principal is the instrument principal, and then proceeds to each instrument.

This position is fluid and can be exchanged. It is not always fixed. If you think your professional level is better than that of the chief sitting now, then issue a challenge and let us all hear who the two of you are. Who is stronger is weaker.

This decision is not made by me alone, but by everyone in the orchestra. Therefore, I hope you can pay more attention to the overall situation of the orchestra, rather than the honor of your previous small group. Here, we only have the Haiyin Harmony Symphony Orchestra. , there is no difference between the Haiyin first group and the second group. "

When Chen Qiu said this, he looked at the group of members, looked at them with a hint of warning, and continued to them.

"First of all, the concertmaster of the orchestra, Qin Xian, is also the concertmaster of the first band. At the same time, the bandleader of the second band is Zhao Xi. Is there any problem?"

Qin Xian nodded and said in a low voice: "Well, no problem."

Zhao Xi raised his fingers at Chen Qiu, waved slightly handsomely, and said with a smile: "I have no problem, this position suits me very well!"

"Well, then viola, cello, and double bass."

Chen Qiu reached out and named a few members whose timbres he had heard were pretty good before.

There are those with one group and those with two groups.

Except for Chen Qiu, who was struggling with the bass, choosing the original chief of the second group, the others were all members of the first group.

Many people in the first group looked at Chen Qiu in surprise. They originally thought that Chen Qiu would give the second group more opportunities, but they did not expect that Chen Qiu was very fair. The people he selected were all people they recognized and were relatively good at pulling the strings. player.

Chen Qiu didn't care about the emotions of everyone in the group, he just continued.

"The percussion group should be unified with Aigu. I feel that the principal of the color group is a bit weak. I will talk about it later. For now, I will follow the harp major."

"For the oboe, I'll use the chief from the previous group, as well as the bassoon, the English horn..."

"The acting chief clarinet is you, you are the best!"

The clarinet player was stunned and asked curiously: "Acting chief? What do you mean? Am I not the chief?"

"You are the chief, but there may be a reinforcement later. If she comes, then you will delegate power. If she does not come, you will be the chief."

"Delegate power? Why? Why did Chen Qiu command you to make sure he is better than me?"

"You'll know when she comes later."

Chen Qiu waved his hand to stop the chief clarinetist from continuing to ask questions, looked at the position of the flute, and said to Liang Long.

"As for the flute, it's still Diplodocus, you play well!"

"Me?" Liang Long originally thought that Chen Qiu was going to take over as the principal flute player, but he didn't expect that he was still the principal flute player. He couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and nodded with a strange expression.

"Oh, alright."

"Stop it, I only look at the strength and nothing else when ordering the first position. The next one is the French horn..."

Chen Qiu clicked this point, and the group of people became more and more surprised as they listened.

Except for a French horn, the principal on the wind band side is almost all a group of people.

Doesn't Chen Qiu have any support for the second regiment?

Currently, there are four people who serve as the chief instruments of the new orchestra: a French horn, a percussionist, a double bass, and Qin Xian.

The others are all from the same group and continue to serve as chiefs.

This……

Many people in the group suddenly felt a little confused.

Is this really one group being annexed by the second group?

Why does it inexplicably feel like one group annexed two groups, and the whole has been strengthened?

They didn't react until the last chief was called.

This feels so weird.

Don’t the people in the second group have any opinions?

The people in the first group looked at the group in the second group, wanting to see doubts, anger and other emotions on their faces, but unfortunately there was none.

The people in the second group behaved extremely calmly.

They believed in Chen Qiu, and Chen Qiu must have his reasons for being this way.

Not only that, many people in their second group are indeed not as good as the first group, so it is actually normal for them to be demoted as chief.

So they don't have much of an opinion about it.

After calling the last principal, Chen Qiu put away the pencil in his hand, opened the music score again, looked at the music score above and said.

"If there are no problems, we will start the first rehearsal. Adjust your positions. The chief will sit in the chief's position and make sure that your voice can be best conveyed to me. When you are ready, start Today’s rehearsal, do you remember the works you will practice today?”

"Remember!"

"Just remember, please change your position first and go faster. We have already wasted a lot of time."

"it is good!"

Everyone agreed, and then made small adjustments.

After changing the positions of the principals, he picked up the instrument in his hand and looked at Chen Qiu.

Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Qiu picked up the pencil in his hand, made eye contact with them one by one, and then nodded.

Arm, wave it down hard!
