The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 36 Hunter or prey?

After that, Professor Li told Chen Qiu more about his plans for the concert hall and the school's expectations for the second group, then he patted Chen Qiu on the shoulder and turned to leave.

After all, Chen Qiu was elected by him as the band conductor. As a teacher in the conducting department, he must be responsible for Chen Qiu. This is the main reason why he stayed alone.

Chen Qiu's performance today was very embarrassing for him.

Although it is not necessarily possible to become the head of the command department or even the deputy dean.

But if Chen Qiu achieves something in the future, it will be regarded as his achievement, and he will pay more attention to Chen Qiu due to emotions and reasons.

After Chen Qiu roughly browsed through the documents in his hand, he put the documents in his bag, turned around and walked towards the concert hall.

At this moment, everyone in the concert hall was still rehearsing with Wang Hai.

The rehearsal repertoire was also Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, Destiny, which Chen Qiu and the others had played before.

It was no different from what he thought. Wang Hai did not take them one by one and look for problems one by one.

This should not be done by his status, it should be done by the trainee conductor in the orchestra.

Wang Hai just led everyone in the orchestra to conduct some detailed rehearsals and exercises.

For example, how should two people who share the same violin score cooperate.

How should the first mention be distinguished from the second mention?

Details like these can be done before rehearsals.

Wang Hai taught these public skills to all the students present through the professional musicians in his orchestra, and told them in a more enthusiastic tone how to cooperate with the conductor.

For Chen Qiu, Wang Hai just glanced at him and smiled at him without giving any guidance.

For him, Chen Qiu's identity is more like the son of an old friend and a talented conductor who has already shown his talent.

He could give Chen Qiu some persuasion, such as telling Chen Qiu some of his thoughts about conducting, but he would not tell Chen Qiu how to conduct this piece of music.

Because if this is the case, then the content that Chen Qiu conducts will not be his own music, but a different work mixed with Wang Hai's feelings.

Chen Qiu doesn't need too much restraint. You just need to create an absolutely comfortable environment for him to play and let him express himself freely.

You only need to give Chen Qiu a little help when he needs it, and he will give you a shocking achievement.

This is Wang Hai's understanding of Chen Qiu.

When he saw Chen Qiu coming out from the backstage, he waved to his band members and said with a smile: "Now it's up to you guys. You go and teach the band some basic skills. I'll go talk to Chen Qiu." .”

After saying that, he ignored the middle finger extended by the members behind him and walked directly off the podium, then jumped off the stage, walked to Chen Qiu's side, put his hands on his hips and smiled.

"What? What did Lao Li just say to you?"

"Old Li? Oh, you mean Professor Li."

Chen Qiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wang Hai to call Professor Li that way, but he quickly came to his senses and spoke to Wang Hai. "He didn't say anything, he just told me about the national competition."

"National competition..."

Wang Hai suddenly showed a nostalgic look, and said with some emotion: "That was really a long time ago, and it reminded me of the days when I was a mercenary."

"Mercenary?" Chen Qiu blinked and did not react.

Wang Hai immediately explained with a smile: "I was invited by those universities to serve as conductors for their students. After all, you know that those people are all top academics. How can any top academics go to study conducting specifically?

Therefore, after all, the conductors in those schools have not received professional training. They are more of a decoration on the stage. It is good to be able to keep the time accurately. This also gives us professional orchestra mercenaries many opportunities.

It seems that I was invited by Shuangdan University to conduct for the first time, and then I won the first prize, but not the championship. I was probably in the top five. Later, I was invited by Haicheng Transportation to serve as a conductor. Unfortunately, I ended up It’s just one move away. There’s no championship, just runner-up. It’s really a pity...”

Wang Hai clicked his tongue twice and looked at Chen Qiu. He seemed to notice some confusion in Chen Qiu's eyes and immediately explained.

"But actually it's normal if you can't get it. Don't think that I'm just a loser if I can't get my level. After all, one of the temporary conductors of a Top 2 university is now the chief conductor of the number one Chinese Symphony Orchestra in China, and the other is I went abroad and served as a guest conductor in more than a dozen orchestras around the world. I really don’t understand them. Is it such a big deal for just a competition?"

Speaking of this, Wang Hai didn't realize at all that he was actually the one who fried the fish, but he was fried by a harder fish, that's all.

He thought for a while and reminded Chen Qiu: "So you must be careful when going to this competition. Although it may not be as professional as the nine-school league of the Conservatory of Music, this kind of competition is particularly easy to encounter fish fry. , you have no idea where the conductor you meet later will come from, it’s a mixed bag.

Although I don't know exactly who will lead those wealthy colleges and universities this year, I am sure that they will work hard to win this award, so you must be careful and careful. "

"So what if I bring this band behind me?"

Chen Qiu looked behind him at the members of the Second Regiment who were laughing and fighting with Wang Hai's men, and asked Wang Hai: "If I take them up here, will they be easily fried?"

Wang Hai also looked at the second group. After pondering for a long time, he slowly shook his head: "It's hard to say."

"Huh? It's hard to say? What do you mean?"

"Again, you never know if there's going to be fried fish in there."

Wang Hai said cheerfully: "After all, some professional players from the music school who went to other schools to study a second major are also students of that school, right?
These students delayed their graduation because their academic performance was not very good, just to bring glory to their alma mater. Do you think it is reasonable? "

Wang Hai patted Chen Qiu's shoulder meaningfully: "After all, everyone wants to have fun in the Fish Pond Bureau."

After that, he smiled and squeezed Chen Qiu's shoulders, waved to the group of people on the stage, and asked them to come down and prepare to leave.

Before leaving, he added to Chen Qiu.

"Although I am very confident in your command and think you have great potential, I still want to remind you, never underestimate the national competition."

"His professionalism may not be as good as the nine-school league held by your conservatory, but the water inside him is far deeper than you imagine."

"In terms of your game, in this fish pond bureau, there are fish fryers and cheaters everywhere."

"You never know whether you are the hunter or the prey..."
