The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 138 Liao Yong: Holy shit? Is he from my school?

Applause broke out, and everyone in the studio was applauding.

Although the clapping thing may be a bit of a waste of time, to be honest, they wasted enough time on other groups and had to rehearse and record again every time.

Now Chen Qiu, his orchestra and Principal Liao Yong have actually completed the recording of the program in one go.

So what if it wastes a little time?
It’s impossible to waste more time than other people, right?

Under the applause, Liao Yong smiled and nodded with everyone, then happily walked towards the edge of the stage and asked the director.

"How was it? Director? Do you need to do it again?"

"Let me check again..."

After the director stretched out his hand and said sorry, he combined the several audio tracks and photography tracks that he had just recorded and looked at them, imagining places in his mind that could be used for editing later.

After confirming it three or four times in a row, he confirmed that it could indeed be turned into a film directly, and then spoke to the orchestra and Liao Yong with a hint of hesitation.

"How about we not guarantee one? Then we can choose one of the two?"

"I have no problem, Commander Chen Qiu, what do you think?"

Liao Yong looked at Chen Qiu and asked him with a smile.

After Chen Qiu thought about it, he shook his head as well: "I can do that too."

"Okay! If that's the case, let's make one more guarantee and start recording the following content. Everyone has a short rest and is ready to record again!"

The director waved his hand and dismissed everyone.

Liao Yong originally wanted to go down to rest, but for some reason, his feet brought him to Chen Qiu's side.

He just looked at Chen Qiu and the chief sitting next to Chen Qiu, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Chief Wu, the level of your Haicheng Radio Symphony Orchestra has really improved. The progress is visible to the naked eye, very good, very good!"

"After all, it's because of Chen Qiu's command!"

Wu Jianhai did not take any credit.

He smiled at Liao Yong and said.

"Because the professionalism of conductor Chen Qiu gave us great confidence, how could we perform like this? So it can be said that without conductor Chen Qiu, we would not have the orchestra we have today."

"Chen Qiu commands, Chen Qiu commands..."

There was no way to conceal the familiarity of this name to Liao Yong. He looked at Chen Qiu with great curiosity and asked with special doubts.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, Commander Chen Qiu, you shouldn't be too old this year, right? Which school did you graduate from? I'm really curious, which school can teach such powerful graduates, you have the most It shouldn’t take more than five years to graduate, right? Even if you are thirty years old, it is a bit scary for a thirty-year-old young conductor to reach this stage."

"Me? Dean Liao, are you asking me?"

Chen Qiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Liao Yong's appearance.

Not only Chen Qiu, but also Chief Wu Jianhai and some band members who were taking a break could not help but laugh.

Seeing everyone present looking so happy, Dean Liao Yong's eyes became more and more confused.

He said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"What are you laughing at? Is my question funny? I see that conductor Chen Qiu is so prosperous and talented, isn't it normal to be a little curious? And I am also the dean of the Conservatory of Music. I care about other brothers. Are there any problems with the development of the institution?”

Before Chen Qiu could speak, Wu Jianhai couldn't hold himself any longer, and he almost burst out.

He suppressed the smile on his face and asked with a strange expression.

"Dean Liao Yong, do you really not know Commander Chen Qiu?"

"I don't know him! I just feel that Commander Chen Qiu's name is a bit familiar. I feel like I have heard it somewhere recently, but I have never seen him before."

Liao Yong immediately denied it.

But soon, as a dean, he naturally noticed something was wrong.

Wu Jianhai would definitely not ask whether something was available or not.

He must have some intention in asking this.

Therefore, he couldn't help but have an answer that was a little unbelievable to him.

"Wait a minute, do you mean... Commander Chen Qiu is a graduate of our school?"

He looked at Chen Qiu, his eyes filled with disbelief, and for a moment he couldn't accept the reality.

He struggled and asked Chief Wu Jianhai who was smiling next to him.

"Are you sure? Chen Qiu commanded him. He is indeed from our school? How come I don't know about this at all?"

"Commander Chen Qiu, do you say it yourself, or should I do it?"

Wu Jianhai looked at Chen Qiu and asked with a smile at him.

Dean Liao Yong also looked over at this time.

Facing Wu Jianhai with a smirk on his face and Dean Liao Yong with an unbelievable look on his face, Chen Qiu helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Dean Liao Yong, you were half right. I did come from Haicheng Conservatory of Music."

"Huh? Half guessed right?"

Liao Yong was stunned and had no way of understanding where he had guessed half of it.

But soon, Chen Qiu's next words completely shattered the thoughts in his brain.

He never imagined that the half he guessed wrong was actually here.

"But I am not a graduate of Haicheng Conservatory of Music. I am a senior student in the Conducting Department this year. I am currently the conductor of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra of Haicheng Conservatory of Music. I also led the Haicheng Conservatory of Music Student Orchestra II and won the Winner of the Undergraduate Art Exhibition!”

"Senior...senior in the command department? Wait, it's you! Chen Qiu!"

Dean Liao Yong was stunned.

The thoughts in his mind finally connected into a thread.

Although he is the dean of Haicheng Conservatory of Music, he is actually more concerned about the content of the vocal music department and serving as the school's face.

Although he often visits the school and communicates with students, to be honest, he actually knows more about the school from the school's weekly newspaper.

He had indeed heard a lot about Chen Qiu recently.

But because these were conducted by people from the conducting department and the orchestra department, he didn't pay too much attention to them, he just knew about it.

And even if he knew about this, it was actually more because of the school band winning the award than because of Chen Qiu.

Three things happened during that time.

Su Yue won the world championship in clarinet and received an invitation from the Lübeck Conservatory of Music. She will probably study there next semester.

Fu Tiao won the championship in the Chopin International Piano Competition and received an invitation from the piano department of the Berlin University of the Arts, where he will also study there next semester.

The last one was the newly established second student team of their school, which won the national championship.

To be honest, what really occupied his mind among these three things was actually the first two. This was not only the glory of Haicheng Conservatory of Music, but actually more of the glory of the entire country of China.

He even attended many meetings for these two men.

Even if Chen Qiu led his band to win the national championship, there is still a lack of gold when compared to the world championships of these two people.

Later, the conducting department of the school's orchestral department also mentioned to him several times the merger of the second student troupe and the first troupe.

This also gave him a reluctant concept of Chen Qiu.

He was probably a talented student in the conducting department. He had strong conducting abilities, but his family was in a bit of trouble. Both his parents died, leaving him with only a small theater.

The monthly expenses of this small theater were a large sum, and Chen Qiu could not afford it. For the growth of this genius, the school decided to bear the cost of the small theater at his home.

It is a variant of scholarship.

These things have all been reported to him. After all, many money matters, especially large or long-term expenses, have to come from his side.

These are all his concepts about Chen Qiu.

He never expected that the Chen Qiu he saw today would completely break all his previous concepts.

He never imagined that a student from his home school could lead a former professional orchestra to this point.

You must know that this professional band is famous for being unruly and unruly.

The student who was the number one conductor in China didn't look down on him and didn't care about Yu Tu's opinion at all. Obviously, the performance just now was not made by the orchestra and Chen Qiu, but... by Chen Qiu and the orchestra.

This young man?
Liao Yong felt a little blind for a while.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't imagine that a young conductor could be so awesome.

This industry is not like other majors that can be mastered simply by practicing.

The commanding profession requires special qualifications!
Liao Yong looked at the smiling Chen Qiu in front of him and had no idea what he should say.

In the end, he just looked at Chen Qiu with a complicated expression, stretched out his hand, patted his shoulder, and said with emotion.

"Not bad, very good! Your command... is very good!"

"Thank you, Dean Liao."

Listening to Liao Yong's praise, Chen Qiu couldn't help but laugh.

This is a compliment from the number one baritone in Asia.

Even if we don't discuss Liao Yong's strength, this is also praised by the deans of the top three music conservatories in the country.

Whether it is for an ordinary college student, a student orchestra conductor, or a professional orchestra conductor.

It is enough to be called a very honorable thing.

Chen Qiu nodded to Dean Liao Yong in a gentle manner, with a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke calmly.

"Does Dean Liao have any other thoughts about the performance just now?"

Liao Yong looked at Chen Qiu in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know what expression he should use to face it.

So he struggled for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly: "I think... probably not. The Haicheng Radio you brought played very well. This is not a compliment, this is a statement of facts. The performance of your team was completely shocked. I, I can't find any place where I can give you advice, and even if there is... then it's not something I can do now."

"Isn't it...can you do it now?" Chen Qiu looked at Liao Yong with confusion and asked, "What can't be done now?"

"It's just some of my personal processing. These things need to be adjusted frequently, and then I know some small details when I sing. I won't notice many details myself, so it's not easy for me to tell you."

Dean Liao Yong smiled and waved his hand and said with emotion.

"But to be honest, I really didn't expect that our school could produce such a powerful student. I feel like with you, our school might really have a chance to compete for the championship in this year's nine-school league competition! You If you want anything, tell me!"

"Champion?"

Chen Qiu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said extremely seriously.

"Thank you, Dean Liao, for your support, but I don't have anything in particular. The current team is pretty good. I will try my best to lead it to win the championship. Even if the opponent is Yu Tu, I will do my best!"

"Huh? Yu Tu? Yu Tu is coming this year too? Isn't he?"

After hearing this, Liao Yong, who originally had a smile on his face, gradually became stiff.

He became a little silent, and then said slowly.

"Well, I understand. I'm sorry. I have a lot of things to do recently. I haven't paid much attention to things in the school. I didn't know that Yu Tu would also come to the Nine Schools League... But don't worry, since the school has decided to give you If you support me, then the school will definitely give you the greatest support! I promise you!”

In this place, Dean Liao Yong turned his original promise to Chen Qiu into the school's promise to Chen Qiu.

He had no idea that Commander Yu Tu was also coming to the Nine Schools League.

To be honest, he had a very good relationship with Yu Tu, but he couldn't imagine why Yu Tu joined the nine-school league.

For fame and fortune?

Yu Tu is now the No. 1 conductor in the country, and before that, he is No. 1 in Asia and No. 1 in the world. This is basically a qualification. A nine-school league champion is not helpful at all to this achievement, right?
So it's just for money?
But you can’t get much money from the nine-school league?

It couldn't possibly be the subsidy given to Yu Tu by the Central Conservatory of Music, right? How much subsidy will be needed?
Therefore, Liao Yong made up his mind unconsciously.

He wanted to see what Yu Tu wanted to do.

After writing this down in his mind, Liao Yong patted Chen Qiu on the shoulder, gave Chen Qiu a little encouragement, and then walked backstage to prepare for the second rehearsal.

Chen Qiu and the chief were also called over by the director at this time and asked them to put on makeup.

Although I won’t specifically shoot them, but giving some details of the orchestra conductor can increase the texture of the picture, and maybe it will have some miraculous effects.

Therefore, the two of them sat in front of the makeup mirror and started putting on makeup.

The makeup artist was busy nearby, and Chief Wu smiled at Chen Qiudao.

"What? Are you afraid of Yu Tu? Do you want to talk to Dean Liao about this matter alone?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, I just feel a little troublesome..."

When he saw the makeup artist over there preparing to apply a particularly bright lipstick on himself, Chen Qiu reached out to reject him, and then replied to the chief.

"We can't just let the Central Conservatory of Music do whatever they want and just bring the country's number one symphony orchestra to participate in the competition, while we here just do nothing and just get beaten, right?"

"Indeed, it's just Yu Tu..."

The chief was slightly emotional.

He spoke slowly.

"I remember that when the old conductor was still there, although he couldn't outperform other orchestras in Haicheng, Yu Tu could still outperform a little bit. I just didn't expect that after so long, the old conductor left and the orchestra became a bit scattered, and Yu Tu also Become number one in China."

When Chen Qiu heard this, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "By the way... who is the old conductor you often talk about?"

"A very powerful person, but let's talk about it later. When we are free, I will tell you about the history of our band alone. Although our band is not the strongest, our band must have the longest history. "

After that, the makeup artist had finished putting on makeup. The chief patted Chen Qiu on the shoulder, and the two returned to the orchestra pit.

At this time, the director came to Chen Qiu and the chief and said to them.

"I just told Liao Yong that all the songs will be sung twice later, and then some other singers will come later. You can just perform normally. Remember to keep your expression natural. The camera will give you a little bit later. For close-ups, don’t be too sullen. If it doesn’t look good in the photo, your camera will be gone! Remember to smile!”

The director directed Chen Qiu to the two of them and stretched out his index finger to pull the corners of his mouth, squeezed out a smile, and then returned to his seat, waiting for the filming to begin.

Chief Chen Qiuhe also led the orchestra to prepare.

At the director's command, they started playing again.

This time, their performance was more proficient, and the expression of emotions in the music was more fluent.

As for the emotional enhancement of the music, it made Liao Yong sing more comfortably.

Everyone just went on singing one piece after another.

Almost every piece is perfect.

Directors have never felt more comfortable than today.

If every piece of music hadn't been played twice for him to edit, he would have thought he was listening to a concert at this moment, rather than a recording rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala.

and……

The director looked at the characteristics of Chen Qiu captured in the close-up camera, and he couldn't help but frown.

For the first time, he felt that the gap between people could be so big.

How can someone be so handsome and play music so well?

You can obviously rely on your face to make a living, who do you think you are?

To be honest, the director really wanted to persuade Chen Qiu to become a star or something, but looking at Chen Qiu's dedication to music, he thought about it and decided not to do it.

"This kind of person should shine in the music industry. Being a star is a waste of his talent!"

The director couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After the collaboration between Chen Qiu and Liao Yong ended, everyone else invited by the crew also came to the studio in advance.

Without exception, almost all of them were shocked by Chen Qiu and his Haicheng Radio Symphony Orchestra.

To the shock of everyone in the audience, the work that was originally expected to be recorded until ten o'clock in the evening was basically completed at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

In the remaining time, the orchestra arranged some of their solo works for everyone.

From the "Spring Festival Overture" at the beginning, to the final chorus "Unforgettable Tonight" led by Liao Yong, it was all performed directly.

When it was almost time to finish eating at around six o'clock in the afternoon, the director looked at the work sheet in front of him and his head was in a daze.

The work that was originally expected to take two days or even three days to complete...

It was all over in one day?
