The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 6 Chen Qiu’s debut
At this moment, Chen Qiu has also stood with the other command lines.

Standing here at this moment were not only those in his grade, but also some seniors and even masters.

Everyone is serious.

Everyone is looking through the scores and their own modified scores in their hands, thinking about how to interpret the work.

It didn't take long before student staff came over and asked them to come on stage one by one to rehearse.

Everyone has a chance to rehearse, and a chance to perform.

This is actually less than the number of rehearsals for a normal orchestra, but it is still within a reasonable range.

A normal professional orchestra should have four rehearsal opportunities for a piece of music. After four rehearsals, it needs to be performed directly on stage.

Now their student orchestra has rehearsed these works long ago, which is equivalent to the worst guarantee, so they only gave them one chance to rehearse.

The rehearsal process this time also depends on the conductor's control of the music.

So to be most accurate, each of them didn't even have a chance to try and make mistakes. They had to start playing directly the first time they came up.

As the first person from the conducting department entered the concert hall and started rehearsing, it was obvious that the backstage was a lot more nervous.

The faces of the others were obviously tense, and even their hands were trembling slightly.

Chen Qiu looked at them and suddenly remembered that the same situation seemed to be true when he was assessing the conductor of the Second Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. He couldn't help but laugh and shook his head helplessly.

And those commanding reserves looked at Chen Qiu's sudden smile with blank expressions on their faces and felt their whole bodies tremble.

However, just when they were about to ask Chen Qiu what he was laughing about, the music suddenly stopped, and then the first conductor to enter the concert walked out of the concert hall with a blank look on his face and a sloppy step.

He glanced at the people backstage, his lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

He just smiled an ugly smile and left the backstage preparation room unsteadily.

Everyone glanced at their watches, and then looked at each other, with a hint of shock in their eyes.

ten minutes.

Just less than ten minutes.

Even before the rehearsal of the work was over, he was already eliminated.

Everyone's expressions became even uglier.

The assessment this time is not based on the previous end-of-semester assessment.

But is it really done in the same way as selecting an orchestra conductor?
Although I knew that this test would be difficult, I never expected that it would be so difficult?

"No. 2, come on stage!"

The student worker from before appeared again and shouted at them.

Listening to the student's voice, the second conductor couldn't help but tremble, nodded awkwardly to everyone, and forced a smile.

"Then I'll go up first, everyone."

"come on!"

Everyone cheered for No. 2 and watched him close the door and enter the concert hall.

Along with the sound of the orchestra, this time it was a little more obvious than the first one.

Even if they were standing in the background and listening, they could hear many problems.

It doesn't feel right.

Now they can all feel the problem.

Therefore, after about seven or eight minutes, the music was paused. The second conductor walked out of the room in a daze, glanced at everyone in the room, smiled awkwardly, and left backstage.

For a moment, the atmosphere backstage became even weirder.

Everyone's emotions were aroused.

They are extremely nervous and afraid that something will go wrong.

They kept looking at the score in their hands and living through their minds what they wanted to show.

Sort out your own musical logic. Although Chen Qiu was in a relatively relaxed mood, seeing everyone like this, he didn't feel comfortable being too outrageous.

Therefore, he also looked at the music score in his hand and lived the feeling he wanted in his mind.

Music doesn't have an exact answer, and neither does conductor.

However, the commander must have his own answer in his heart.

The third and fourth also went in.

Only the fourth player performed well. He survived the rehearsal part and played for more than ten minutes. However, during the official performance, his flaws were exposed and he was directly eliminated.

At this point, only the last three people were left in the background.

Chen Qiu, and two other graduate students from the Department of Conducting.

The two graduate students seemed to look familiar. They had been chatting quietly, as if they were looking for the logic behind the elimination of the previous eliminations, and tried to prevent themselves from making the same mistakes that their predecessors had made.

Chen Qiu was the only one looking at the music score, his mind empty.

Keep your mind as calm as possible.

"No. 5, come on stage!"

The backstage door opened again. The student staff member opened the door, looked at Chen Qiu with curious eyes, nodded slightly to him, and said, "You are next."

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Qiu nodded with a smile and walked towards the concert hall.

The lighting in the concert hall was not particularly dazzling, just a few simple lights were turned on.

Gentle warm light fell from the sky, but it did not bring any warmth.

The group of talented people on the stage looked at Chen Qiu with a hint of probing and curiosity in their eyes.

The teachers and judges under the stage had tense faces and were extremely serious.

"Chen Qiu, briefly introduce yourself and then get started."

There were no lights in the auditorium, and the professors were all hidden in darkness.

When I looked around, I could barely see the black shadows. I couldn't see many details, and I couldn't tell who the professors in the audience were.

However, Chen Qiu seemed to see a familiar figure among this group of people.

He was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who this person was.

Chen Qiu shook his head, cleared all his thoughts, looked at the judges, and nodded slightly.

"Chen Qiu, a junior, is preparing a piece of bolero."

"let's start."

"Ok."

Chen Qiu nodded, turned and walked to the conductor's seat in front of the orchestra. After shaking hands with the violinist Zhao Xi who was sitting in front, he scanned everyone in the orchestra and nodded with a smile.

This smile made many people who were familiar with Chen Qiu stunned.

They never expected that Chen Qiu would smile at them.

In their astonishment, Chen Qiu raised a hand, pointed at the oboe, and spoke to him.

"Oboe, give it a standard pitch."

"Everyone, tune in. Once the tuning is over, we'll get started."

Under the guidance of Chen Qiu, the oboe produced the standard note A of 442hz.

As the sound of the oboe sounded, everyone around them also followed the sound of the oboe and tuned it for the last time to ensure that there was no problem with their voices.

When the last tune fell, Chen Qiu raised his hand slightly, swept across the crowd, and finally stopped on the percussionist. He nodded slowly, pinched his fingers, and trembled slightly.
