The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 35 Preparing for the National Competition
As Chen Qiu awkwardly walked out of the back door and opened the door of the concert hall, the school leaders left, taking with them many professors from the conducting department.

At this moment, only Professor Li and the Haicheng Philharmonic Orchestra led by Wang Hai were left in the room.

When Chen Qiu returned to the stage, the members of the second group really wanted to get up and hug Chen Qiu, thanking him for never leaving.

But seeing Professor Li and Wang Hai from the Command Department walking toward them, they could only hold back their feelings for the time being until Chen Qiu's matter was resolved.

Professor Li and Wang Hai soon arrived in front of Chen Qiu.

Professor Li waved his hand to Chen Qiu and said.

"Chen Qiu, come down first. Let's go backstage to chat. Wang Hai, you..."

"I just came here to take on the responsibility of conductor! After all, I can't just leave this orchestra alone, right?"

Wang Hai burst out laughing. He pointed at the group of people with strong temperament in the orchestra behind him and waved: "Nuo, you guys, go to your respective parts and join in, and then we will go through the Symphony of Destiny again. Music, teach them some rules of the band for these young children.”

"Oh……"

The group of people behind Wang Hai immediately stood up on stage and integrated into the orchestra.

Wang Hai also walked up to the command line at this time, reached out and patted Chen Qiu on the shoulder, grinning.

"Come on, give me the command of the orchestra first. I will teach them some small details of orchestra rehearsal, and then return it to you. Don't worry, the orchestra will not become like me."

"I know, please don't say it so weirdly."

Chen Qiu smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand to hand out the baton, and asked Wang Hai, "Do you want the baton?"

"No, what baton do you need for rehearsal? Just get a pencil. Do you have a pencil over there?"

"There are two pens on the music stand. You can use them first. Just don't mess with my music."

"No, you can't trust me so much? I obviously hugged you when I was a child!"

Wang Hai joked to Chen Qiu, then picked up a pen from the music stand in front of the podium, knocked on the music stand, then winked at Chen Qiu and said: "I almost forgot, you did a good job, a A qualified conductor can never abandon his orchestra casually. I admire you very much! You are worthy of being your father's son!"

"not me……"

Before Chen Qiu finished speaking, Wang Hai raised his hand and said to the orchestra: "Chief, pay attention to my gestures and follow my rhythm to guide the students around you! Let's start from the beginning."

After that, he waved the baton in his hand and asked the members of his orchestra to lead the people of the second orchestra to start a new round of rehearsals.

Seeing Wang Hai like this, Chen Qiu could only take a few steps back helplessly, then turned around and jumped off the stage, nodded to Professor Li who had been standing aside, and said helplessly.

"Then... let's go directly to the backstage?"

"Well, go backstage, you lead the way."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards Chen Qiu.

Chen Qiu did not hesitate and took Professor Li directly to the backstage of his concert hall.

The backstage was not messy. Chen Qiu had tidied it up a few days ago, fearing that if someone came to see it, it would be too messy and affect their perception.

I originally thought I wouldn't need it, but I didn't expect Professor Li to come here.

After the two of them stood still backstage, Professor Li nodded slightly to Chen Qiu and immediately spoke.

"I did a good job today. The performance of Bei Wu was very good, especially the first two movements. Although the last two movements seemed not perfect due to time constraints, they were still enough to enter the category of a professional orchestra. Very good!"

"Thank you Professor Li." Chen Qiu couldn't help but laugh twice, "Professor Li taught me well."

"I didn't teach you, I just gave you enough resources. Everything you can achieve is the result of your own efforts."

Professor Li immediately shook his head and refused the hat Chen Qiu gave him. He took out a document from his pocket with utmost seriousness, turned it over and handed it to Chen Qiudao.

"This, take a look."

"this is……"

Chen Qiu took the document handed over by Professor Li and read a title.

"National College Student Art Exhibition Instrumental Music Group Performance Rules"

"Is this...a notice of the national competition?"

Chen Qiu looked at the document and couldn't help but be surprised: "Have you started preparing so early?"

"It's not too early, because it basically happens once every few years, so many bands from other schools may have been preparing for several years, and you just happen to run into it, that's all."

Professor Li put away his briefcase and said calmly to Chen Qiu: "You can read the specific competition rules yourself. I will briefly introduce them to you here.

First of all, the competition is divided into three stages: state competition, national preliminary competition, and national finals.

Our Haicheng is an independent state, which means that as long as you can qualify from Haicheng, you can directly enter the national competition. This should be easy to understand.

At the same time, because there are three competitions in total, you need to prepare three works, which must include a symphony and a concerto. The third piece can be anything, and you can proceed according to the orchestra's own situation. planning.

Of the three works, all the movements of your Beethoven Fifth Symphony can be counted as one. You need to decide quickly on the other two, and then submit your list to me within this week. I need to submit it to the school to get you into the competition. in the process.

Apart from that, do you have any questions? "

Chen Qiu carefully flipped through the documents in his hand. After thinking for a while, he slowly shook his head: "There should be no problem, but I still need to think about the specific works to be performed. There is no way to answer you right now."

"Ok, I know."

Professor Li nodded without any surprise, and then said seriously: "But I must remind you, that is, you should not take this competition too lightly. Don't think that the group of people from other schools are non-professionals, and think that this competition is simple. , there are quite a few conservatories that have lost to the second troupe and non-professional college student orchestras.”

"Huh?" Chen Qiu didn't expect that he would hear such exciting news. His eyes lit up and he asked curiously: "Why? Their professional level should not be bad, right?"

"Well, it's not bad, but the performance of college students is not just about practicing basic skills, they are also practicing more..."

Professor Li's eyes made contact with Chen Qiu and he slowly said, "Money."

"money?"

"Well, money."

Professor Li said directly.

"Wang Hai will tell you the specifics. He will also participate in the national competition, but he will lead another group. I am just informing you that regarding the situation of your concert hall, the school has agreed, except for you In addition to the monthly rent of your concert hall being borne by the school, your concert hall also has additional reimbursements.

However, I can’t say the specific amount. If you need anything in the future, you can write me an application report and I will reimburse it at my discretion.

As for your members..."

When talking about the members of the second group, Professor Li originally wanted to describe them as "crane tail", but luckily he stopped.

He coughed lightly, stood up, patted Chen Qiu's arm, and said sincerely:

"Forget it, now your second team can be considered completely independent. The most important thing now is the national competition. This competition is not easy. You can't take it lightly. The school takes this matter very seriously."

"So, since you have the ability, then try to do your best!"

"come on!"
