The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 28 Haicheng Harmony Concert Hall

Orchestras don't like to be late. The smaller the orchestra, the less they like to be late.

If you work in a normal company, or even if you are a teacher, it won't matter if you are a few minutes late when you go to work in the morning.

But the band is different.

The job of the orchestra is for everyone to rehearse and work together. After the rehearsal, you can do whatever you want, no one cares about you.

But during rehearsal time, you have to work with everyone!
Everyone has their own things to be busy with, and there is no time to waste time with you all the time.

Bigger orchestras are actually better. If you are late, there are people in other parts who can fill in.

It is easy for a small orchestra to fall into a situation where if you are late, there is one missing part in the orchestra, and the music will sound very strange.

Therefore, when working in the orchestra, everyone goes there as early as possible to prepare.

Then when the band officially starts work, it will be directly into the working state.

Ruijia was always less than a minute late, and every time she had to ask the orchestra to wait for her and then re-tune the music.

Just on the edge of unacceptable.

Chen Qiu had asked her before if she could come to the band earlier. It was a bit uncomfortable that everyone was waiting for her.

But she behaved nonchalantly, saying that she had a lot of things to do outside of school and her schedule was very full.

This is the main reason why she ran away as soon as the band ended.

Then Rui Jia swore to Chen Qiu very seriously that she would try to run faster and not delay the orchestra for too long, and Chen Qiu let her go.

After all, Ruijia plays well and never makes any mistakes. She is a typical role musician.

Later, Ruijia did exactly what she said, running as fast as possible, from being almost a minute late to arriving on time.

Occasionally it can be a few seconds ahead of time.

But at that time, I will be out of breath. When I open the door of the Chamber Music Hall, I will be panting for a long time at the door and unable to recover, which will further affect my efficiency.

Therefore, Chen Qiu just hoped that she could arrive on time.

In addition to her, the other band members also had some minor problems, but they did not have a particularly big impact on the band, so Chen Qiu did not go out of his way to correct them.

Everyone spent time in such rehearsals one after another, and time soon came to the day that Chen Qiu had agreed with the school leaders.

Chen Qiu sent the address of his concert hall to everyone in the orchestra in advance, and then arrived at the door of the concert hall at almost eight o'clock, waiting for everyone to arrive.

But as soon as he opened the door, he found that Rui Jia had arrived at the door of the concert hall.

She was sitting at the door of the concert hall holding the huge double bass, staring at the traffic in the distance in a daze.

When she heard the sound of the concert hall door opening behind her, she instantly became energetic, stood up, patted the hem of her clothes, nodded respectfully to Chen Qiu, and said.

"Good morning, Commander Chen Qiu."

"morning!"

Chen Qiu held a cup of soy milk and looked at Rui Jia in surprise: "You came today...a little early?"

In his impression, Rui Jia should be the last one to arrive. Unexpectedly, he was not only on time but was even the first one to arrive today.

Rui Jia obviously understood Chen Qiu's hint. She scratched her head in embarrassment and whispered: "Because there are no classes today, the place where I work is on holiday today, and we meet at 8:30 in the morning, I As soon as I woke up from the dormitory, I came over."

"Working? Oh, that's it... OK, you can come in first." Chen Qiu turned slightly sideways and moved the door of the concert hall out of the way. Ruijia immediately squatted half-crouched, lifted the huge double bass behind him, and walked towards the concert hall. He staggered in and rushed in.

It always seemed like she would fall down, but probably because she was too short, the chassis was extra solid.

She quickly rushed to the front of the stage with the double bass, struggled to climb up the stage, came to where the double bass should be, and began to arrange it.

Shortly after Ruijia arrived, the second and third band members also arrived.

They looked at the concert hall with particular curiosity, then looked at Chen Qiu and waved vigorously.

"Commander Chen Qiu! Good morning! We should be the first to come, right?"

"Well, morning."

Chen Qiu smiled and took a sip of the soy milk in the cup: "But you are not the first one. The first one is Rui Jia."

"what?"

The two people were instantly shocked.

"The late bass who never works overtime? She was the first one to arrive today?"

"Now it should be called the double bass who never works overtime. She is not late today." Chen Qiu corrected with a smile, then pointed to the concert hall behind him, "You go in first, I will wait for the others outside."

"okay!"

The two people walked to the concert hall together, and looked at Rui Jia who was indeed in the concert hall, as well as the layout of the concert hall, with shock on their faces.

With the arrival of these two people, others came to the vicinity of the concert hall one after another.

Similar to those two people, they were shocked that Rui Jia arrived so early, and that Chen Qiu's house did have a concert hall.

The concert hall is not big, with a capacity of about 5-600 people. According to the landmarks of other large concert halls, this should be just a small chamber music hall.

But if the design of the concert hall is followed, this concert hall is indeed a complete small symphony hall.

It feels completely different from the previous performance in the school chamber music hall. The feeling of playing here is that I have become a member of the orchestra and am expanding my territory in the classical music market with the orchestra's chief conductor.

Therefore, when everyone came to the stage and started to tune, their expressions became much more serious.

The tuning work was done extremely carefully.

After all, in their fantasy, they were not the only ones in the concert hall at this moment.

Different from the previous rehearsals in the school chamber music hall, they always felt that there were five to six hundred spectators sitting in the audience, and everyone was watching them.

This feeling of being watched and having to perform as an official classical musician is both nerve-wracking and exciting.

Chen Qiu stood at the door, watching them enter one by one, each of them was shocked, and each of them had a passionate expression. He couldn't help but find it amusing, until Qin Xian arrived.

He stood at the door of the concert hall and looked at Chen Qiu. After hesitating for a long time, he nodded slightly to Chen Qiu.

"I am coming."

"Well, go in, everyone is inside." Chen Qiu nodded, pointed at the concert hall and said to Qin Xian.

Qin Xian didn't say much. He pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, entered the concert hall, and sat at the back of the string section.

Chen Qiu looked at him and said nothing. He just took another sip of the soy milk in the cup.
