The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 113 No, what other classes are you taking?
Chen Qiu didn't know that Zhao Xi felt that Ai Gu might leave the Haiyin Harmony Symphony Orchestra and talk to him alone.

After all, Chen Qiu doesn’t know Ai Gu’s past.

His understanding of Ai Gu is limited to the fact that Ai Gu is a percussionist who can easily become passionate. He has a very professional level and almost no problems. In the orchestra, he can almost be called a Dinghai Shenzhen.

As for Zhao Xi, Chen Qiu's impression of him is that he is a pretty good chief of the regiment. He is very helpful to the regiment. Not only is he good in professional skills, he is also very reassuring in his dealings with others.

If you leave the orchestra to him to manage, he will definitely not lead the orchestra astray.

This is also the difference between Zhao Xi and Qin Xian.

Zhao Xi prefers overall management and can handle the relationship between many people. When the flute named Diplodocus got up to fight with Chen Qiu, he was the first to come out to smooth things over and let Diplodocus give Chen Qiu. Apologetic.

Qin Xian, on the other hand, is a pure performer.

He can drive the entire string section forward during performance, and can also give the string section more highlights, and even make the overall presentation of the music more beautiful.

But if he were to manage the band alone, it would be a bit difficult for him.

He really doesn't know how to do this.

This is the main reason why Chen Qiu wants Qin Xian to be the first chief and Zhao Xi to be the second chief.

Zhao Xi also knew this, which was why he sat directly in the second chief position from the beginning.

Although Zhao Xi had done a lot of things, Chen Qiu actually didn't know about it and didn't have time to pay attention.

Because all his attention now is on the course he is going to take.

Although he has already learned it and practiced it a bit easily now, plus he has an absolute sense of pitch, Chen Qiu still has a headache.

Because the current course is a sight-singing and ear-training course.

Most of the conducting courses are simulated practical courses.

These things are equivalent to basic skills and must be practiced every day.

When Chen Qiu was studying conducting at the Berlin University of the Arts, he studied every day.

For example, the simplest one is to listen to the direction of 36 chords in your head.

This is what he is practicing now.

The teacher played 36 different chords for Chen Qiu, representing their different positions in the scale.

There may be different ways of moving forward such as modulation, off-key, and transposition.

When listening to these chords, you can't take a pen to record them. You can only listen to them with your head, think about them, and then reproduce them on another piano.

This not only requires a pair of absolutely excellent ears, but you also need an understanding of music.

Even though Chen Qiu had practiced countless times before and he could basically do exactly what the teacher wanted, he still felt a headache.

After all, this thing is really brain-consuming.

Chen Qiu stared at the piano in front of him, listening intently to the chords presented in his ears, constantly thinking about where these chords were going.

Is it transferred to the major and minor of the same name at this place, or is it transferred to the major and minor of the relationship, or there is no transfer at all, just a solution, and then the whole process is wandering around the third and fourth levels.

These all need to be thought about and analyzed.

After the teacher finished playing, before the teacher could ask Chen Qiu to reappear, Chen Qiu's hand was already on the piano and he played a lot of chords quickly.

36 chords, completely different ways to move forward.

Although these things are a headache for Chen Qiu, they are still within the scope of reproducibility.

He perfectly imagined what the teacher had just played based on the progression of the chords in his mind and the changes in harmony at the beginning and end.

After he pressed the last chord accurately, Chen Qiu let go of his hand, nodded to the teacher, and asked tentatively.

"Teacher, how is it?"

"Um……"

The teacher in charge of sight-singing and ear training, as well as the students who were standing behind Chen Qiu waiting to come on stage, were speechless for a while.

Especially that teacher.

He thought for a long time and struggled to get the last two words out of his throat.

"good."

After saying that, he reached out and pinched his eyebrows, his face full of pain.

Damn it! I have prepared the harmonious direction for so long in advance! It has obviously changed to such an extent that I can't write anything more difficult. Going forward, it will basically be pure repetition with nothing new. How can Chen Qiu explain everything to you?

This is ridiculous, can an ordinary student do it?

Are you kidding me?
The teacher looked at Chen Qiu with a particularly complicated expression.

He really didn't want to teach Chen Qiu.

Every time there is a small sight-singing and ear-training class for the conducting major, Chen Qiu is the first to complete the requirements he gives, and you can't even find any problems.

If it was a one-on-one class, he might as well give Chen Qiu a little more trouble and make it a little more difficult for Chen Qiu alone to ensure that he was attending class and not just coming to play with Chen Qiu.

But that's not the case now. He is in class. He can't make it more difficult just for Chen Qiu alone.

Chen Qiu may have no problem, but what about the other students standing aside?

They don't have Chen Qiu's ability.

Therefore, the teacher looked at Chen Qiu, sighed slowly, and said helplessly.

"Although I know that attendance is an obligation that every student must fulfill, but to be honest, I really feel that you don't need to come to this class at all. No, what are you doing here? I just came out. After finishing the question, you solved the question and I just played it once? It’s better for you to study on your own than to waste time on me..."

"Forehead……"

Chen Qiu scratched his head. He looked at the helpless teacher in front of him, thought for a moment, and spoke to the teacher with a hint of comfort.

"Actually, the question is not that simple. I have thought about it for a long time, and this kind of exercise means a lot to me."

"No, of course my question is not that simple! I have already raised the difficulty! How can it be simple! I have been thinking about this question for a long time when I wrote it by myself! I'm kidding you!"

As if he was irritated, the teacher pointed at the other command students behind Chen Qiu and nodded at them.

"No, if you don't believe me, go and ask your classmates, yes, yes, yes, just you. Stop lowering your heads and raise your heads. Did you hear what I just said to Chen Qiu? After playing, Chen Qiu directly reproduced it for me. Now it's your turn. I played it once, and Chen Qiu played it again. I gave you two chances. Now, who of you can reproduce the harmony I just played? Do you want to perform it?"

"..."

silence.

There was silence.

Chen Qiu looked at the group of command students behind him, but could only see their jet-black hair.

Everyone lowered their heads, fearing that they would be called on by the teacher.

joke.

They usually practiced 24 harmonic changes before.

Ever since Chen Qiu took over the Haiyin Second Regiment, their practice content began to change.

From the original 24, it started to rise, rising to 26, 27, 29, 30, and now 36.

They were so dizzy listening to it that they had the harmony going on in their heads every day when they went to bed.

All I have to do is find a corresponding harmony with others when I speak every day.

As a result, Chen Qiu turned out to be nothing.

Although it was a little slower than before, Chen Qiu could still hear it over and over again.

How the hell is this playing?
Now the teacher actually wants to let them go, and they will hold it against their heads?
Are you kidding me?

What they think about most right now is that they wish they could just drill into the ground.

The teacher no longer notices himself.

They really don’t want to be called on by the teacher at this time and asked to do questions on the stage!
This is simply a public execution!

Simply don’t feel too uncomfortable!

The teacher seemed to know what the group of people were thinking. He just glanced at the group of people, sighed, and shouted angrily at the people behind him.

"In the previous class, each one was more arrogant than the other, saying that if you were given an orchestra, you would be able to hear everything like Chen Qiu. But now? Chen Qiu has heard 36 chord progressions. What are you doing? "

As he spoke, the teacher got a little angry and hit the piano hard with his hand.

hum...

The sound of the piano echoed in the classroom, bringing only the silence of everyone behind Chen Qiu.

Listening to the voice in his ears, Chen Qiu pondered for a long time and spoke to the teacher as if he was joking.

"Teacher, the notes you just hit are e4, f4, sharp f4, g4, a4, b4, h4. What, now we start listening to the sound blocks?"

"..."

The teacher was silent. He took a look at the sound he hit with his hand, checked it a little, and found that it was no different from what Chen Qiu said.

The corner of his mouth twitched, he put his hand away silently, and said to Chen Qiu.

"Forget it, it's okay, that's all, I'm just sighing, and you don't need to come to my sight-singing and ear-training lessons later. Your current progress has basically reached the stage of postgraduate students in the conducting department. If you continue to listen like this There is no need to go down, your classmates are a little too far away from your position now, and the gap in progress will be too big, so it will not be easy to deal with."

After that, the teacher waved his hand to Chen Qiu, telling him to leave quickly and not to hinder his teaching.

Why do you continue to let Chen Qiu stay here?

Undermining his teaching?
Wasting Chen Qiu's time? The content taught now is so simple that Chen Qiu can understand it after reading it once. The next few classes this year are basically review before the final exam.

Not just the later lessons.

The difficulty of the in-class tests they have now increased because of Chen Qiu is already at the graduate or even doctoral level.

You won't get it at all.

Asking Chen Qiu to come to class at this time would not only waste Chen Qiu's time, but also his time.

It's really better to ask Chen Qiu to come back during the exam, take the exam, and get a high score.

Even though he didn't like students being absent from class, but facing Chen Qiu, he really didn't have the confidence to let Chen Qiu continue to study like this.

If you continue to learn, the group behind you will be completely unable to keep up!
That group of people may really just come here to listen to the class and have fun, and everything has nothing to do with them!
Therefore, he must drive Chen Qiu away from his classroom.

Don't let Chen Qiu make progress in this place so much that he can't even keep up.

Facing the teacher's attitude, Chen Qiu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth a few times, and then sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, it is like this again.

After he packed his things, he said hello to the group of classmates behind him who had their heads lowered, then picked up his bag and left the classroom.

Standing at the door of the classroom, Chen Qiu was in a daze for a moment.

Did you go too far?
This lesson is actually quite interesting as a daily exercise for myself.

Unfortunately, my progress is too fast, and the small games that I can use as my daily practice are far different from the daily practice of other students.

Therefore, he could only be asked to leave the class.

It's a pity...

Chen Qiu shook his head helplessly.

Unexpectedly, I was exempted from taking another class.

Calculating it this way, apart from some one-on-one professional classes, it seems that I don’t have many classes left to study?
Chen Qiu couldn't help but think of this after taking out his mobile phone and crossing out the sight-singing and ear-training lesson just now.

The next thing is that some public courses still need to be practiced, but there is nothing else.

It was obvious that the other students in the command department around him were working so hard and had a lot of messy courses to study, but he had nothing to do.

This feeling is so strange...

But it is good to have fewer courses, especially those that I have already taken.

Chen Qiu put away his cell phone, followed the elevator downstairs, and walked out of the teaching building, planning to go back to his home concert hall first, and then continue to prepare for the New Year's concert.

The most important thing now is the New Year's concert.

The New Year's Concert is the first performance of their Harmony Symphony Orchestra since its establishment.

It's the first shot at making a name for yourself.

Chen Qiu is not the kind of person who likes to shrink back and hide behind to grow slowly.

Now that I have a band, I can just crush all obstacles head-on.

It is not advisable to work behind closed doors.

The most correct path is to perform for others and improve yourself through regular performances again and again.

It just so happens that the number of courses in school has been reduced a lot.

You can also focus more on the band.

As Chen Qiu walked, he was thinking about the band and school.

It would be great if there were no need to take public courses in schools, such as military theory courses.

Why don't you talk to Professor Li Anguo about this later?
Chen Qiu couldn't help but think of this.

……

He didn't notice at all that when he left the school gate, a father and daughter dressed in concealment walked to the school gate.

Professor Li Anguo also stood at the school gate at this time.

When he saw the father and daughter approaching, he immediately took two steps forward to greet them.

He looked at the two people who were dressed normally but deliberately concealed their identities. He narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded, and said.

"I didn't expect you to come so early. Are you going to my office now? Or..."

"Go to your office."

The taller man spoke first.

He glanced at his daughter standing next to him out of the corner of his eyes, but did not make any move. He just spoke to Professor Li Anguo in a calm tone.

"I want you to keep the fact that we're here a secret."

"Um, okay, no problem."

Li Anguo nodded to the two of them, and then walked to the school to lead the way.

He didn't say anything on the way, and he didn't introduce the situation in the school, as if by default both of them knew everything.

And the two people didn't ask anything.

Everyone was silent until Li Anguo's office.

After entering the office, the tall man took off his hat and coat first and hung them on the hangers at the door.

The girl, on the other hand, made no movement at all and just sat silently on the sofa by the door.

Seeing the girl's strange movements, Li Anguo didn't have any curiosity. He just glanced at it and ignored it.

On the contrary, his gaze was completely fixed on the man in front of him without any deviation.

Li Anguo sat down in his seat, his body tense, and he spoke to the man.

"Zhao Yi, sit down wherever you want. I want to ask, what does the message you sent me before mean? Maybe I... didn't understand it?"

"That's what it means."

Zhao Yi moved the chair to a seat, then sat down meticulously, looked straight at Li Anguo, and spoke calmly.

"My daughter Zhao Zitong asked me to let her learn conducting. I had rejected her out of consideration for her future career direction and talent, but she has made this request to me several times recently, which made me reluctant. Not to give a second thought to the possibility of her pursuing a career in conducting.”

"Well, what then? You agreed?"

Li Anguo was not interested in Zhao Yi's family ethics drama. He bluntly asked: "You want to come to me and ask if the conducting department of Haicheng Conservatory of Music is recruiting people? Then arrange your daughter. Go in?"

"No, I will not joke about my daughter's future. I still retain my past evaluation of her. She is not suitable to command this industry."

"Ok?"

Li Anguo looked through Zhao Yi to Zhao Zitong, who was sitting on the sofa at the door. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze kept reverberating between the two of them.

He was silent for a long time and said directly to Zhao Yi.

"I probably understand, but you don't have to beat around the bush, just tell me your request and I'll see if I can agree to it!"

"I recently heard that your school has recently established the Haiyin Harmony Symphony Orchestra, with conductor Chen Qiu and leader Wang Hai. This is a very good emerging orchestra with unlimited potential, so I want to apply to your school to let My daughter Zhao Zitong became the orchestra’s assistant conductor and gained an in-depth understanding of and learning about the conductor and operation of the orchestra.”

Zhao Yi looked at Li Anguo and said slowly to him: "Like all conductor assistants, she is just learning. Unless the conductor allows, she has no right to conduct the orchestra. Here, I am the conductor of the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra. I assure your school that she will not have any impact on the orchestra, and that your school has the right to suspend her studies at any time. I wonder if your school agrees."

After saying that, Zhao Yi bent his body slightly and lowered his head half a minute, as if bowing in request.

This is something his daughter, his team members, his students, and everyone who knows him have never seen before.

This is also Zhao Yi's first time asking for help.

For his daughter.

Although he did not think that his daughter was suitable for the path of command, he was still willing to use his own efforts to pave a smooth road for her.

Starting as a conductor's assistant in an orchestra that will definitely achieve something in the future.

If she succeeds, she can learn a lot from Chen Qiu, which Zhao Yi cannot teach.

Not everyone can have top talent like him. Assistant conductors of top orchestras are directly promoted to chief conductors.

So her best person to learn from is Chen Qiu.

If Chen Qiu fails, then she is still young and she can continue to return to her current path.

This is also Zhao Yi's little selfishness.

Not far behind him.

Zhao Zitong did not notice Zhao Yi's slightly bent body. After all, from her perspective, Zhao Yi was still sitting there as straight as at home, meticulous and meticulous.

Therefore, she just looked at Li Anguo.

His eyes were full of longing and longing.

But the next second, Li Anguo shook his head.

"You are very kind to your daughter, but... no!"

　I don’t know why, but my arms are a little numb and a little sensitive.
