The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 55 A group! Declare war!

Qin Xian came without notifying Chen Qiu in advance, but Chen Qiu seemed to have guessed that Qin Xian would come in advance and took Qin Xian directly to the main stage of the concert hall.

He asked Qin Xian to sit in the middle of the concert hall. After turning on the most basic lights in the concert hall, he came to Qin Xian, nodded to him and spoke.

"Tell me about your question, which movement is it?"

"The first movement! My feeling in the first movement was not good."

Qin Xian said directly.

The two of them didn't have any unnecessary words. As soon as Qin Xian sat down, Chen Qiu started working communication with him. He would not ask him alone what he was doing here, why he was here, and what he could provide him. Help and all that crap.

The reason is simple, because Qin Xian is already the chief.

Qin Xian is the principal of Haiyin No. 2 Troupe. He is responsible for the overall direction of music, especially the string section.

In addition to controlling the overall emotional feeling during the previous competition in Haicheng, he also needs to specify the bowing method of each person in the string section to play the violin so that everyone can follow the same steps.

In other words, he is the second in command.

Just like the conductor and chief who took Beethoven aside when he conducted Bei Jiu.

The conductor is the soul of the orchestra, and the concertmaster is the first person in charge of the orchestra.

Many times when problems arise in an orchestra, it is basically a conflict between the principal and the conductor.

For example, at the beginning, what Chen Qiu heard in the Haiyin Radio Symphony Orchestra after waking up.

The conductor was new to the orchestra and was not recognized by the chief, so the chief led everyone in the orchestra to rebel against the conductor's leadership.

In the end, the group of people in the Haicheng Radio Symphony Orchestra felt like a mess, divided into four or five different factions, and the final performance felt like a complete mess.

The main reason for the decline of the orchestra is the disagreement between the orchestra principal and the conductor.

Fortunately, Haiyin Second Group is not like this.

The previous chief didn't have enough control over the orchestra as a whole, and he didn't have the ability to lead his subordinates to cause trouble and go against Chen Qiu.

The current leader is Qin Xian. It was Chen Qiu who personally rescued him from the endless practice nightmare and led him to feel the beauty of classical music again.

Even if he disagrees with Chen Qiu, he will never choose to go against Chen Qiu.

But just like the purpose for which he came now.

If there's a problem, fix it!

Qin Xian said to Chen Qiu.

"Conductor Chen Qiu, I re-listened to the part we played together before, and I rethought it. I feel that there are many parts that are not suitable for conducting as a two-person ensemble."

He opened the music score in his hand, pointed to a lyrical part in the middle of the first movement, and said to Chen Qiu: "For example, this place, if I remember correctly, my previous performance used more vibrato, this place It’s not a problem for me, but it might be difficult for the orchestra.”

"let me see."

Chen Qiu took the music score from Qin Xian's hand, found the position he mentioned, and after reading it up and down, he immediately constructed a complete orchestra system in his mind.

He took Qin Xian out of the principal position and asked him to perform solo, while also leading the string section of the orchestra.

It sounds like there are indeed some problems with the presentation of this place.

The most important point is that the band's overall cohesion is not enough.

It was difficult for the string section to keep up with Qin Xian's pace.

As for the current string orchestra, it is still in a category that needs to be strengthened.

Thinking of this, Chen Qiu couldn't help but nodded slightly and said to Qin Xian.

"Well, you're right. The most important ones are the players in the string section. Most of them can't keep up with us."

"Yes, I also discovered it. I got the recording of Haicheng Dabi from the school and listened to the string section's performance several times again. I also discovered this problem."

Qin Xian, like Chen Qiu, also started groping for his chin and spoke to Chen Qiu.

"Let the second chief come? Commander Chen Qiu, do you think the second chief is qualified for this position?"

"The second concertmaster is not infectious enough. He cannot drive the orchestra forward!"

"Then I will lead, but because many of the remaining string members in the second orchestra cannot keep up with my pace, I feel that I can lower the mood of the orchestra a little and make the music less so. Perfect."

"It can be done by lowering the requirements, but I think..."

Chen Qiu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he spoke to Qin Xian.

"But we can change the way. You need to know more about the string parts of the orchestra and control them better. Even when you are practicing your solo, they will not leave your control. Can you do it? ?”

Qin Xian was stunned and said hesitantly: "I... try my best?"

"If there is no way to complete it, then we will change it, because we don't have a lot of time. Now they are all on vacation. When school starts in a few days and the first rehearsal starts, we won't have that much time to give you It’s time to find a new commander-in-chief.”

Chen Qiu shook his head directly, then looked at Qin Xian and spoke very seriously.

"At present, in this orchestra, apart from me, you are probably the only one who can have an influence on the orchestra, so I need you to give me a way, or give me an answer directly. If you can do it, then I You can safely lead the team forward. If you can't, then I need to change the direction."

Qin Xian was silent. After thinking for a long time, he nodded and said, "I should be able to do it. I should be able to lead the string orchestra in this string section."

"Okay, I will let the wind instruments cooperate with you and reduce your pressure as much as possible. However, the wind instruments in our orchestra are not so good that they are particularly strong. Basically, it all depends on their on-the-spot performance. As for them How much can be done, I can’t give you an exact answer.”

"It should be enough with the help of wind instruments. I will go back and continue to study how this place should be played."

Qin Xian's originally tense expression gradually relaxed a little, and then he pointed to other parts and discussed with Chen Qiu one by one the method of playing.

As for what the two of them really couldn't do, Chen Qiu directly pulled out the piano in the corner of the room and played with Qin Xian, one on the piano and the other on the violin, to listen to the overall sound effect.

Previously, Chen Qiu wanted to revive Qin Xian, and because he could confirm Qin Xian's professional level, he reduced the influence of the piano and tried his best to match Qin Xian's direction in playing.

But now, they have the orchestra making a concerto, rather than the soloist making a concerto specifically.

Therefore, they require more negotiation, and thinking.

How to make music perform more beautifully.

Chen Qiu couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he heard Qin Xian's understanding.

Although Qin Xian is relatively young, his understanding of music is really impressive.

Even though the details in many places are handled a little impetuously, it can be seen that Qin Xian is not very old.

But his whimsical thoughts about music gave Chen Qiu many new ideas.

Approach classical music from a different direction.

I just need to revise this idea and find a more suitable direction.

Compared with before, the work is much simpler and easier.

Qin Xian's feelings for Chen Qiu were even deeper.

There was even something wrong with the way he looked at Chen Qiu.

Chen Qiu, it’s too scary.

Chen Qiu is like a puddle of deep water, you never know how deep his music is.

Chen Qiu could instantly understand all his thoughts about music as soon as he heard them, and help him correct some wrong understandings.

Just like a teacher.

Even better than his own teacher.

Such a strong level of strength...

Qin Xian could only say that it was so terrifying!
Every time I work with Chen Qiu, I feel new horror.

How powerful is Chen Qiu?
Qin Xian has no idea at all.

He just felt that Haiyin was not Chen Qiu's help to take off, but rather Chen Qiu's shackles.

Without Haiyin, Chen Qiu might have become the world's top conductor.

Instead of hanging out in an ordinary school club like Haiyin Second Group.

Thinking of this, Qin Xian couldn't help but shake his head, put aside his thoughts, and continued to follow Chen Qiu to analyze the music score seriously and keep up with Chen Qiu's thoughts.

He is the principal, who is the second conductor of the orchestra.

Used well, it is an aid to the conductor.

If used incorrectly, it will be a stumbling block for command.

He wanted to be the starting point for the band to take off.

He wants to help the orchestra achieve higher results!
After he and Chen Qiu quickly negotiated the specific content, they quickly left with the music score.

He wanted to go back and review what Chen Qiu said. Every word Chen Qiu said, he felt, contained the truth of music!
After watching Qin Xian leave the concert hall quickly, Chen Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He stood alone on the podium in the middle of the concert hall, looked at the empty concert hall, and shook his head slightly.

The orchestra needs to be stronger.

What I still have to do is to be better.

Qin Xian has unlimited potential and can now help him deal with some problems, but it is not enough.

If you want the band to become stronger, it needs more foundation stones!

……

The meeting between Chen Qiu and Qin Xian did not bring about many changes.

With the school holidays announced, the band came to a complete standstill.

Some students began to try to run competitions across the country to see if they could win some new awards and add luster to their careers.

There are also some students who let go completely and play everywhere with their friends. Even in their majors, they just mess around a little every day without much practice.

There is also a group of people whose daily life is even more difficult than in school.

In school, they may only practice for a few hours a day, but at home, they practice for up to ten hours a day.

Most of these people are students in a group.

When the members of the first group saw that the second group of Haiyin won the highest score in the national tickets in Haicheng, many people couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous.

Why could those low-ranking people achieve such results before me?
A group of low-level people, who are completely inferior to them in terms of basic skills and musical expression ability, can actually get the first place?
He was even recognized by the conductors of two of the top three orchestras in Haicheng.

But I am still here, practicing slowly with the top five orchestra conductors.

The school has been unwilling to let them participate in competitions, but only allows them to perform normal performances and prepare for the nine-school league.

In addition, some unruly students in the school were bragging in that place, saying that the second group was the real group.

Names like these make them extremely aggrieved.

Why?
Why is it that the second group is in the limelight and not their first group?
With such emotions coupled with the deliberate guidance of the school leaders and conductors, the group of people immediately became extremely excited.

They want to prove themselves and prove that they are better than the people in the second group.

Although it sounds a bit nonsense, this is indeed an idea in many people's minds.

After all, they haven't grown up enough to be extremely calm in the face of slander.

As for the people in the second group...

Many of them had no idea that the people over there were already preparing to use them to establish authority.

They were still happily chatting and blowing water in the group, without any sense of tension at all.

Rui Jia is still busy working part-time jobs in various places every day.

In such a mood, Haiyin ushered in the next semester.

Chen Qiu entered his senior year, and everyone else also moved up a level.

……

Inside the Haiyin Harmony Concert Hall.

The door of the concert hall opened, and everyone who had not seen each other for a long time happily walked into the concert hall carrying their instruments and greeted each other.

"New semester, new awesomeness, comrades!"

"There's nothing much to say. I wish you all a great new semester!"

"Everyone has been promoted to a level now. We are no longer newcomers. We have become old people. Please be more careful when speaking in the future and don't chatter like the newcomers."

"By the way, will we have new recruits this year?"

"Probably not. The orchestra won't start until at least the first semester of their freshman year."

"Wow, then I don't have any new juniors to play with? I thought I could get rid of the title of youngest, but I didn't expect this to happen."

"..."

With everyone chattering, Qin Xian walked into the concert hall carrying his violin. Looking at the people still laughing there, he nodded and said.

"morning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him immediately became lively.

"Morning, Chief Qin Xian!"

"Chief Qin Xian! The new school year is awesome!"

"Chief Qin Xian, how are you spending your vacation? Have you participated in any competitions? I won two championships recently!"

"Chief, do you have any arrangements with conductor Chen Qiu? What works are we going to do this year?"

"chief……"

Dense sounds rang in Qin Xian's ears.

If it were before, he might just walk to the end with his head down.

But now that he has become the chief of the second regiment, he cannot escape directly like before.

Therefore, he walked to the middle of the orchestra, took out a sheet of music from his violin bag, and spoke to everyone.

"Not much to say, chiefs of all the voices, come with me first. I have some tasks that need to be given to you. Then you can conduct and lead the people in your respective voices and lead them to analyze the music scores. .”

After saying that, everyone suddenly let out a cry.

"Wow, isn't it? We have just arrived and are about to start the orchestra?"

"No, Qin Xian, how long did it take for you to become the chief? Why did you become like Chen Qiu? You were slack and frustrated before! Give me back the Qin Xian you were before!"

"Come on, don't put so much pressure on me just after the new semester has started. Give everyone a little way to survive!"

"..."

Everyone chattered.

Although they were full of reluctance, they still stood by Qin Xian's side honestly and began to listen to his words and follow him to analyze the music score and formulate specific performance methods for each part.

They know that resisting on their own is useless.

Qin Xian is definitely easier to talk to than Chen Qiu.

Now Chen Qiu asked Qin Xian to come over and guide them. We are all ordinary students. In fact, there are no big conflicts. It is normal to cooperate with each other.

But if Chen Qiu comes back to coach and guide them on how to play a certain part, it will not be such a scene.

Although Chen Qiu doesn't know how to curse or troll people now.

But when they saw the entire band stagnating because of their own problems, even if Chen Qiu didn't curse, it would be difficult for them to withstand the pressure.

Therefore, although they complained, everyone still listened to Qin Xian's words very honestly and began to analyze the music scores in their hands.

Those who came from behind could easily greet everyone when they first came in.

But looking at the serious expression of their own vocal leader, the relaxation on their faces could not help but dissipate a lot. They followed the vocal leader cautiously, and under the leadership of the vocal leader, they also began to analyze the music scores in their hands.

Unknowingly, the sense of slackness caused by taking a long vacation completely dissipated at this moment. Under the leadership of Qin Xian, everyone gradually entered the state of working in the orchestra.

And this state lasted until Chen Qiu entered the orchestra.

Behind Chen Qiu was Rui Jia, who was looking around.

She looked at Chen Qiu as he was about to say something, but Chen Qiu shook his head, interrupted her speech, and spoke to her.

"You're not late yet. Congratulations on arriving a few minutes early today. Go back to your place."

"Huh? Oh, okay..."

After hearing Chen Qiu's words, Rui Jia nodded her head vigorously a few times, immediately carried her double bass on her back, climbed onto the stage, stood on her own side, and whispered to others what they had done before.

After learning that Chen Qiu had just arrived, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she never thought that Chen Qiu's words almost made her breathless.

Chen Qiu held a document and stood in front of the gradually quieting orchestra, facing everyone's expectant eyes.

He didn't say anything about new semester and new expectations. Instead, he said something to everyone that none of them expected.

Chen Qiu picked up the document in his hand and spoke to everyone with a serious expression.

"One group has declared war on us!"
