The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 72 Haiyin nd Regiment sets out for battle!
A few days later, Haicheng Jiangdong International Airport.

Chen Qiu wore a simple white shirt and opened his black down jacket. He stood at the domestic departure gate and flipped through the list in his hand.

In front of him there was always a group of students wearing the same black down jackets.

On their chests and on the arms of their clothes, the graphics and words of Haicheng Conservatory of Music are clearly marked.

At the same time, they basically all have their own instruments in their hands.

Chen Qiu looked at the list in front of him, counted it up and down, and nodded to everyone.

"That's right, no one should be missing now, everyone is here, right?"

"Even the late bass is here, everyone must be here!"

Someone on the side said with a smile, and then everyone laughed together.

At the same time, there was Rui Jia's protest.

"I haven't been late for a long time, okay! Why are you calling me late Bass!"

"I can't help it. You were so ridiculously late before. You've become accustomed to it."

Everyone laughed and said.

It was obvious that everyone was joking and there was no real irony.

Rui Jia only raised her hands in symbolic protest twice, but also did not go online.

Facing the upcoming national competition, everyone was obviously not particularly nervous.

At least, not at the airport.

Chen Qiu looked helplessly at the people fighting in front of him, shook his head, and spoke to them.

"Then if you need to check in, go check in now. Check your luggage in early and go in early to wait."

"What about our musical instruments? Conductor Chen Qiu?"

A man holding a violin next to him raised his hand and asked Chen Qiu, "Are our musical instruments also checked in the same way? I feel like it might be damaged!"

"You can just carry your violin in. How did you think of checking it in?"

Chen Qiu glanced at the violinist angrily, and then looked at the other musicians.

Many of them seemed to have never experienced bringing musical instruments on a plane, so Chen Qiu added to them.

"The school has bought separate seats for you who have larger instruments. You can put your instruments on the seat next to you, or ask the flight attendant to help you put them away. You don't have to worry about having no place to put your instruments. As for the instruments that can be carried with you, such as violins, violas, clarinets, oboes, flutes, and other musical instruments that are not particularly large, you can just carry the instruments as carry-on luggage, and they will not be checked at the airport!"

“Sometimes I really feel like it’s good to learn an instrument that can be carried around easily. Unlike those big instruments, even transportation is a big problem!”

"Are you talking about the piano? Are you looking down on my 1,000-pound arm strength? Believe it or not, I will turn around and carry the piano on my back to show you!"

"Haha, what does carrying a piano mean? I carry a full set of percussion instruments! Let me show you what it means to be gifted!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's it? The pipe organ laughed without saying a word, but I am a man who can carry an entire church on my back! Are you kidding me?"

Everyone laughed and said.

But someone soon raised questions.

"By the way, can our musical instruments be placed in the luggage rack above? I'm a little worried..."

Chen Qiu replied: "If you are really worried, just hold it in your hands. It is not much different from taking the high-speed rail."

The man immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay, I'm relieved then. By the way, why don't we just buy train tickets from Haicheng to Beijing instead of taking a plane?"

"Flights are cheap! Normally, the air ticket from Haicheng to Beijing costs 330 yuan, plus 120 yuan for infrastructure fuel, the total is about 450 yuan. The high-speed train costs to yuan. Our school still books it in advance, and then maybe all at once. There are a lot of air tickets, maybe the price can be lowered!”

There was a person next to me immediately. He was obviously a frequent flyer and very familiar with the prices of these routes.

After all, the prices for this kind of route, which runs several times a day, are relatively stable, and it is difficult for there to be any fluctuations.

After hearing what this person said, many people were a little surprised and quickly took out their mobile phones and started looking at the nearest routes.

Then I discovered that, as the person said, flying is sometimes more convenient and cheaper than taking the high-speed rail.

Chen Qiu looked at everyone checking the price at that place and couldn't help but shook his head and waved to everyone.

"Okay, people with suitcases, hurry up and check in your luggage. Don't stay here anymore. Come back as soon as you finish checking in. We'll go through the security check together. Don't get separated! If we get separated, If you can't find your way, just call me and I'll pick you up. If you have a lot of luggage, you can check in together and use your combined luggage allowance to check in!"

"Okay, Commander Chen Qiu!"

Everyone immediately dispersed and ran to the special counter to check in.

Many girls bring a lot of things, and one or two suitcases are packed with messy things, which look very heavy.

Some boys, led by Chen Qiu and Qin Xian, simply carried a bag with a few changes of clothes in it.

Therefore, Chen Qiu, Qin Xian and others gave their ID cards to some people with more luggage and asked them to allocate their luggage allowance to see what the specific method was.

Chen Qiu, Qin Xian and others just stood aside, looking at the commotion in the distance and couldn't help laughing.

Qin Xian said to Chen Qiu.

"Obviously we are preparing to go on an expedition with Haiyin, but for some reason, it feels like what we are doing is like an outing, without any sense of urgency."

Chen Qiu shook his head slightly and said to Qin Xian: "There is no need. At least, there is no need to be nervous now."

"Well said, conductor Chen Qiu, chief Qin Xian, what you said is wrong. Why do you need a sense of urgency now!"

As soon as Chen Qiu finished speaking, Ai Gu, who was wearing a shiny sequined jacket, glided in front of everyone, took off his sunglasses, put them in his pocket, and raised his eyebrows at Qin Xian .

"How is it? Are you handsome? What about my outfit? Do you feel like a rock band?"

"If you fart quickly, don't act like a fool in this place!"

Qin Xian rolled his eyes at Ai Gu and said angrily.

"Forget about Chen Qiu's command, why do you think we don't need to be nervous now?"

"We are the Second Haiyin Troupe, one that can compete with the First Troupe. It is the most top orchestra among Chinese students. We even have conductor Chen Qiu here. Conductor Chen Qiu is the most capable conductor I have ever seen. There is not even one conductor, so no matter what, there is no problem for us to enter the finals, right? Is it Chen Qiu who is the conductor?"

After saying that, he made a gesture of toasting to Chen Qiu and raised his eyebrows at Chen Qiu.

However, Chen Qiu didn't seem to accept his favor.

Qin Xian immediately said from the side: "Enter the finals? You just hope to enter the finals? If we just hope to enter the finals, there is no need for us to go to the capital! What do you think we are going to the capital for?"

"For the championship! Of course it is for the championship!"

Ai Gu said immediately.

He also rolled his eyes at Qin Xian and explained angrily.

"No, I will be a little more modest and say that there is no problem for us to enter the finals. You don't really think that I just want to enter the finals, right? Since I have gone to the capital, I definitely want to win the championship! Needless to say, this ? But winning the championship is not something that waits until we enter the finals. What are we nervous about now? Right, Chen Qiu is in command?"

"Yeah, indeed."

Chen Qiu nodded, but he glanced at Ai Gu's clothes and frowned at Ai Gu.

"But are you sure there's nothing wrong with your clothes? These are all metal pieces, right? The chain hanging on your thigh is also metal, right? It might feel bad if you carry this through the security check?"

"Forehead……"

Ai Gu's expression froze, he scratched his head and said awkwardly.

"What about that, Commander Chen Qiu, I already knew I was going to take a plane, so I changed my outfit from metal to plastic. It just looks like metal, that's all. If you don't tell me, No one should know."

"No, Ai Gu, how much do you like this outfit? Even if you're on a plane, you still do it like this?" The person next to him looked at Ai Gu in surprise, and made a rocking hand gesture to him and said, "This is a legend. My rock and roll soul is burning?"

"What? Looking down on me, the future King of Rock and Roll?"

Ai Gu rolled his eyes at the man next to him, and also made a rock gesture and said, "You're just kidding, do you know how valuable the soul of rock is?"

"Okay, okay, I know, don't compare, uncle, I'm afraid!"

"Go, go, go, you bastard!"

Everyone was laughing and joking together again.

Chen Qiu just smiled and watched them playing around there without saying anything.

Qin Xian shrugged helplessly, lowered his head and walked to a seat aside to sit down, and began to think about what he was going to play next.

The concerto was to be played in the first round, and he felt a little stressed.

Compared with others who may completely follow Chen Qiu, he needs to express himself and show his ability as the concertmaster as much as possible. Even though he now has the ability to do this, he still doesn't have much confidence.

After all, in his eyes, the safety of the entire regiment seemed to be tied to him.

He represents the upper limit of the orchestra and the infinite possibilities of soloing in the concerto.

Chen Qiu represents the lower limit of the orchestra, the overall performance of the orchestra and the expression of music.

Whether a band can win the championship depends more on the band's upper limit, rather than just on the band's lower limit.

But fortunately, it’s just that the concerto will be used in the first round of the main competition, not the finals.

Otherwise, Qin Xian really feels that he may have to start forcing himself again.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and looked at Chen Qiu helplessly.

Sure enough, luckily there was Chen Qiu, otherwise where would this pressure go?
Chen Qiu seemed to have noticed Qin Xian's mood.

He turned his head to look at Qin Xian who was squatting aside, smiled and nodded, put his hand on his shoulder and whispered.

"Don't be too nervous. I have everything under my control. The game hasn't officially started yet. Just save this nervousness for the game."

"Okay, I'll try my best?"

Qin Xian nodded slightly.

He felt the warm power on his shoulders, and his mood seemed to have recovered a little, but he was still a little anxious.

Ai Gu next to him was still noisy and restless in that place.

As the most energetic optimist in the entire orchestra, Ai Gu can always drive the members of the orchestra.

His heart is always full of passion.

Everyone seems to be quite happy, after all, they come out to participate in the competition at public expense.

So anyway, everyone has their own problems compared to the first rehearsal.

Rui Jia is late every day, Ai Gu gets enthusiastic at the wrong time, and Qin Xian is dejected. The band starts playing without listening to his own conductor, without any cooperating band members.

Now everyone basically has the most basic feeling of a band, is familiar with each other, and can even cooperate in a little way.

Well, at least it's still making progress, and that's enough.

Chen Qiu looked at the people in the orchestra and suddenly laughed. Then he clapped his hands to everyone, gathered everyone's attention, and spoke to them.

"Has everyone arrived? Check to see if there is anyone who has not arrived. The principals of each instrument will check with each other, and then report to the sound director, who will then report to the top."

"Chen Qiu is here for the double bass!"

"All the copper pipe people on my side are here too."

“The wooden pipes are all in place.”

"The cello is all gone too."

"The viola and violin are here too."

Qin Xian glanced at the people in the string section and nodded to Chen Qiu: "Everyone in the string section is here, no problem."

"Okay, if that's the case, then there's no problem."

Chen Qiu nodded and waved to everyone.

"Let's go through the security check and get ready to board the plane."

After that, he walked at the front towards the security checkpoint.

Everyone just followed behind him, but there was order in the chaos.

The members of such a stable band quickly passed the security check and entered the terminal. After almost half an hour, they all boarded the plane.

This is not a particularly large aircraft, just an ordinary 737-800 with 159 seats.

Excluding the first 12 first-class seats, there are actually only 147 seats for economy-class passengers.

Everyone entered the plane noisily, quickly found their seats, sat down, and put away their luggage.

Several students holding double basses negotiated with the flight attendants on the other side to see where it would be more appropriate to place their instruments.

There are about 60 people in their band. Counting their instruments, they bought more than half of the tickets.

Therefore, passengers who were on the same plane as them looked at the group of Haiyin members wearing the same black down jackets and holding musical instruments, and couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.

But he didn't think much about it. He just thought that this was just an ordinary student outing. After a quick glance, he lost any interest.

Everyone in Haiyin has no intention of showing off here.

They just happily put away their instruments, sat in their seats, and waited for takeoff.

The take-off speed of this medium-sized aircraft is faster than that of ordinary aircraft. After all, the overall aircraft is relatively flexible.

Everyone only waited for about ten minutes before the plane entered orbit and began to taxi.

With a burst of powerful thrust, the plane quickly rushed into the clouds and entered level flight.

The people in the orchestra on the plane were still a little bit excited, and they kept chatting with each other.

Chen Qiu sat at the front and closed his eyes to rest.

Until the stewardess pushed him awake with a strange look on his face.

"Um, are you students from Haicheng Conservatory of Music?"

Chen Qiu opened his eyes and looked at the stewardess in front of him. He couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity and asked her.

"Well, yes, what's wrong?"

"Ah, that's great if it is! I thought we made a mistake!"

The stewardess let out a long sigh, then remembered something and asked Chen Qiu.

"Ahem, sorry to ask again, um, you are going to the capital to participate in the national competition, right? Aren't you going to do other things?"

"Yes." Chen Qiu felt strange. He straightened up and looked at the flight attendant, and asked her puzzledly, "Is something wrong?"

"Well, it's nothing. I just received a notification from our company. Now that it's confirmed to be you, there won't be any problems."

The flight attendant smiled at Chen Qiu and Qin Xian beside him, restored their etiquette as flight attendants, walked quickly to the front of the plane, turned on the intercom placed there, and spoke to everyone in the plane He spoke.

“Dear gentlemen and madams, an announcement is now being broadcast.

We are very happy to receive the news that a group of artists from the Haicheng Conservatory of Music Orchestra will join us on a comfortable air journey from Haicheng to Beijing.

Likewise, we sincerely wish them better results and a smoother path in the next national competitions and artistic life.

To the crew chief and all the crew members of this flight, and everyone here, I wish you a safe trip and a good race! "

click!
The intercom hung up and the words fell, followed by roaring applause.

Some people who were originally curious about Haiyin and this group of students were not stingy with their applause at this moment.

Even though they are still students, everyone still respects them.

Faced with the blessings from the crew and the applause of the crowd, many people in the orchestra suddenly turned blushing and nodded a little sheepishly to the other passengers around them to express their gratitude.

They have never been so proud of themselves as members of the Haiyin Second Regiment as they are today.

And faced with the blessings of the crew and the applause of other passengers.

Even if they may not care about themselves in the future, they should still make some achievements to prove that they are worthy of the blessings and applause at this moment.

Seeing everyone's high spirits, Chen Qiu couldn't help but laugh and shook his head helplessly.

The plane landed quickly, and Chen Qiu led everyone to pick up their luggage and walked out of the airport gate.

Professor Li, who had been waiting for everyone in the waiting area, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw everyone's excitement that could almost burn everything.

What the hell?

He had only been away from Haiyin for a few days, why did the Haiyin Second Group become like this?

So high-spirited?
