The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 74 This is our stage!
The elevator door opened, revealing a cheerful-looking boy. He nodded honestly to everyone, touched the back of his head, and said.

"Sorry, sorry, there are two more people here, please wait a moment!"

After that, he stepped into the elevator first and blocked the elevator door.

Just when other passers-by behind Chen Qiu were about to say something, the two people he was waiting for had already arrived at the door of the elevator.

Zhao Zitong quickly ran towards the elevator with a girl from her band.

Before she entered the elevator, she saw Chen Qiu standing in the middle of the elevator and Qin Xian standing in a corner in a daze. Her pupils shrank and she swallowed.

Then he forced out a smile and said hello to everyone in the elevator.

"I'm sorry that the concertmaster of our orchestra made everyone wait. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, we didn't wait long anyway."

The passerby standing behind Chen Qiu immediately laughed.

Chen Qiu looked at Zhao Zitong and nodded in the same way, without saying anything.

The elevator door closed, and there was silence in the elevator. No one spoke.

At the beginning, the cheerful-looking band leader originally planned to say something to liven up the atmosphere.

But seeing his conductor's silence, his slightly higher emotional intelligence immediately made him understand that now was not a good time to speak.

This also makes the elevator become more silent.

The person who had been behind Chen Qiu didn't seem to feel such a heavy atmosphere.

He quickly arrived at his floor, squeezed out from behind Chen Qiu and others, smiled and waved to everyone, and left the elevator.

Then came the other people in the elevator.

For a moment, only Chen Qiu, Qin Xian, Professor Li, the chief who had just blocked the door, Zhao Zitong, and an unknown girl next to her were left in the elevator.

Ding!
The elevator went up a few more floors, and the concertmaster of the Zhao Zitong Orchestra arrived on his floor early.

He took two steps forward and looked at Zhao Zitong and Chen Qiu in the elevator with hesitant expressions.

He didn't know if he should go down now.

He always felt that something was wrong with his conductor's mood when he saw Chen Qiu.

If he goes down by himself, there will only be two girls left in their band. Will they be too weak to fight against Chen Qiu and the others?
But I can’t go down by myself…

Before he finished his thoughts, Zhao Zitong's voice sounded.

She asked the concertmaster of her family.

"Aren't you going to go down? Your floor has arrived."

"Huh? Should I go down?"

"if not?"

"Huh? Oh, I..."

The concertmaster understood immediately, nodded vigorously, left the elevator, and said with a naive smile.

"Sorry, sorry, I was thinking about other things just now, so I kind of forgot about it. So, I'll see you at dinner later in the evening."

"Well, see you later."

Zhao Zitong nodded to the chief and watched him leave the elevator.

The elevator door closed, cutting off the two people's sight, and sent all four remaining people in the elevator to the top floor.

When the elevator door opened again, Zhao Zitong nodded slightly to Chen Qiu and others, walked out quickly, left the elevator without any hesitation, and ran towards his room.

Chen Qiu looked at Zhao Zitong's back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and also stepped out.

He groped his chin curiously and asked in a low voice to Professor Li beside him.

"Speaking of Professor Li, do you know this person?"

"Ok?"

Professor Li had just been thinking about other things in the elevator and didn't notice Zhao Zitong.

When Chen Qiu spoke, he raised his head and looked at the disappearing figure in the distance. He narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think.

After thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head.

"I don't know. She looks like a female conductor from the National League. There are many female conductors at our level. I'm not sure which female conductor she is."

"I feel like she looks familiar? Especially her figure..."

Chen Qiu was also thinking.

He felt like he had seen this female conductor somewhere.

Maybe I saw it at the Haicheng Competition in Haicheng?
If it were the female conductors we saw at the Haicheng Competition, there were several of them.

Only one of them, the female conductor of Eastern Normal University, seemed to have a deeper memory in him.

Other female conductors basically just go on stage to show off.

But if the first person he saw here was the female conductor from Eastern Normal University, Chen Qiu felt that this was too much of a coincidence.

Qin Xian heard Chen Qiu's words at this time and raised his head to look into the distance. He glanced at Zhao Zitong and others who were preparing to open the door in the farthest place. He squinted for a long time and finally shook his head.

"I don't know him either..."

"It's a ghost if you can recognize it, right? At the Haicheng Competition, you were completely downcast. You kept your head down all day long and didn't know what you were thinking about."

Chen Qiu knocked Qin Xian's head angrily.

Qin Xian asked Chen Qiu curiously.

"Is this female conductor important to Chen Qiu's command of you?"

"It's not important. I just feel like she knows me and I have a little impression of her. That's it. It's not important at all."

Chen Qiu shook his head. Since he couldn't remember it, he wouldn't think about it. Anyway, the most important thing now is command.

Let’s finish the first round of the game first, and then discuss other content.

At this moment, Zhao Zitong, who was standing far away, was sweating profusely.

She quickly opened the door with her key card, hid in the room, sat on the bed and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The girl behind her asked Zhao Zitong curiously.

"Commander, what's wrong with you? Why do you feel so stressed?"

"nothing……"

Zhao Zitong shook his head.

After she waited until her mood stabilized, she got up and walked to the window of the room, opened the curtains, and let the sunlight from outside the room shine into the room. She couldn't help but feel stunned when she looked at the busy traffic outside the window.

She asked the girl behind her who was still packing her luggage.

"Do you know who we just met in the elevator?"

"In the elevator?"

The girl was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Zhao Zitong would ask her this question. She couldn't help but raise her head and think. After thinking for a long time, she hesitated and asked Zhao Zitong.

"Hmm... It seems that there is also a school conductor, chief, and their leading teacher. They must have just arrived? I seemed to have seen their car outside, but I didn't pay attention to what school it was written on their car... "

"It's Haicheng Conservatory of Music."

Zhao Zitong said immediately.

"Haicheng Conservatory of Music...what's wrong? Didn't we go to their concert before? Their level is indeed very strong, but it's not to the extent that it scares you, conductor, right?"

The girl was a little confused, then she raised her head and thought for a moment, smacking her lips.

"But having said that, the conductor of Haicheng Conservatory of Music is very handsome and gentle, a bit like the big brother next door, but their chief feels a bit depressed and not so energetic. This must be my first time with them. Close contact, right? As for their leading teacher, I feel a little silent and seems to be a serious person."

When she mentioned this place, she quickly walked to Zhao Zitong and asked Zhao Zitong curiously.

"What's wrong? Is it possible that you like one of them?"

"No, I just feel a little stressed. It's so big that I can't breathe."

Zhao Zitong shook his head, pulled on his clothes to make his breathing more even, and then gave a helpless smile.

"You have been working hard, but why do you feel that the gap is getting bigger and bigger?"

She has been targeting Chen Qiu in recent months. She listens to Chen Qiu's previous recordings every day and thinks about what he should do if it were Chen Qiu.

Analyze, analyze, keep analyzing.

Analyze every detail in the score thoroughly, to the point where it can no longer be analyzed.

To understand, to think, to deconstruct all the logic in music.

Then interpret it in your own way.

Now she even feels like she wants to vomit when she sees the score and hears the music. But the results she achieved also made her realize how ridiculous her previous efforts were.

And what is true talent.

When she led the orchestra to rehearse for the last time, Wang Hai was even shocked.

Wang Hai never thought that she, Zhao Zitong, could lead the orchestra to produce such music.

She even kept asking if her father taught her to play like this.

When she learned that her father had not intervened at all, Wang Hai's eyes widened even more, and then he laughed extremely excitedly, mumbling things like "blood flowed like a river", "fight, fight", "yes" I had fun watching it" and the like.

After getting Wang Hai's approval, Zhao Zitong became more diligent in practicing, almost draining his last strength. What followed was a surge of confidence.

She felt like she even had a chance to win the championship.

This position is not as nihilistic as when I saw Chen Qiu before. He could only shout to work hard and strive for it.

On the contrary, this position has become much more real, and she can truly feel the distance between herself and the championship.

However, when she came to the capital, she didn't expect that this location was still so far away from her.

When she saw Chen Qiu, it was obvious that Chen Qiu didn't say anything, but the pressure Chen Qiu gave her was far greater than before.

Just standing next to Chen Qiu made him feel pressure.

It wasn't until she returned to her room that she calmed down a little.

She felt a little funny when she thought about what she had just done.

He actually didn't say anything, or even made eye contact, and was so overwhelmed that he couldn't breathe.

Obviously Chen Qiu is also a student, even if he is a genius student.

But he shouldn't have such an aura at all, right?
Could it be that I listened to Chen Qiu's recording too much and that I was afraid of it?

Only then did he let himself see Chen Qiu. He didn't even think about resisting, and just lay down and waited to die?
Zhao Zitong thought as he squinted his eyes.

But soon, she shook her head and lay down on the big hotel bed, staring straight at the ceiling, wondering what she was thinking.

The girl who was sitting next to her pouted in boredom.

She originally thought she would hear some exciting news, but this was all she got.

So she went directly to the desk in the hotel, touched up her makeup, and said while doing it.

"If you are really scared, then I will help you talk about it and let our school and Haicheng Conservatory of Music establish a friendship. Let's meet and chat. Maybe if we meet more, everyone will be desensitized."

"It's not necessary. I have nothing to do with the people at Haicheng Music Institute. I just feel a little pressured. Especially when I see Chen Qiu, the pressure is even greater. That's all."

Zhao Zitong let out a long sigh, his eyes a little dull.

After rolling on the bed several times, she suddenly got up from the bed, walked to her suitcase, and took out her sheet music.

The music score in her hand already had the same feeling as the music score in Chen Qiu's hand.

The whole thing has been turned over and the footers are a little wrinkled.

Looking at this sheet of music, the girl who was still touching up her makeup at that spot had her eyes widened, and her voice also trembled as she spoke.

"Wait a minute, Zhao, Zhao Zitong, you don't mean to start rehearsing today, the first day we all arrive in the capital, right? It shouldn't happen, right? We have agreed to get together for dinner tonight Let’s have a meal or something, and then we’ll start rehearsing tomorrow!”

"Well, you guys go have a dinner together first, and then I'll look at the score. I feel like there are still some details that I haven't dealt with clearly. I may need to think about it again."

"No, how come you..." The girl swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a painful expression, "You have changed since the last performance at Haicheng Conservatory of Music. Where did you hide my conductor! Please return my Zhao Zitong to me quickly!"

"Don't make trouble. Go and play by yourself. Have fun. Remember to bring me some food when you come back. I won't go today. I wish you all a happy time."

"I I I I..."

"Well, remember to tell them that the rehearsal location has been booked. We will leave at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. You must not be late. If you are late, remember to buy a piece of candy for everyone in the orchestra."

Zhao Zitong waved his hand and ignored the girl who was still touching up her makeup.

She just looked at the sheet of music in her hand seriously and started from the beginning to think about whether there was anything she didn't do well.

Her expression was extremely serious.

She is bringing herself into Chen Qiu.

If it is Chen Qiu.

If I were Chen Qiu...

So what will you do?

The figure of Chen Qiu when he was conducting the orchestra appeared in her heart again, gradually merging with the figure that had just appeared in the elevator.

He was like a giant Buddha, pressing in her heart, making her a little breathless.

But equally, Chen Qiu's existence also gave her a clear direction.

She knows what direction she should work towards.

"Although it is difficult and even hopeless, I still have to catch up with Chen Qiu and work ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times as hard as he does!"

Zhao Zitong's expression became particularly determined, looking for the most suitable musical interpretation for her.

But she didn't know.

In Chen Qiu's house at this moment.

Chen Qiu also looked at the music score equally seriously.

Compared with Zhao Zitong's way of forcing himself and forcing himself to work hard, Chen Qiu seemed much calmer.

He sat on the bed and flipped through the sheet of music in his hand, marking some details from time to time.

Qin Xian was sitting at the desk in the room, looking at his own scores and simulating his own piano playing movements from time to time.

The two of them moved in an orderly manner, no one disturbed the other, and they were doing their own things very calmly.

It wasn't until Professor Li knocked on the door and told them to go out for dinner together that they stopped for a moment and got up to go out together.

The capital is worthy of being the capital.

Thousands of students from all over the country gathered in the capital, without causing any obstruction to this very large city.

The fifty or sixty people in the band randomly found a buffet and ate as the last good meal before the start of the competition.

This money is naturally the reimbursement of Chen Qiu's activity funds from Haicheng Conservatory of Music. After all, this can be regarded as team building.

Although everyone was chatting and eating, they ate quickly and it didn't take long for them to finish their work and return to the hotel to rest.

Without exception, everyone in the orchestra did not choose to rest directly after checking in. Instead, they each opened the music scores in their hands.

Even if they are extremely familiar with musical notation, even if they can even write down thousands of notes directly.

But they are still analyzing and thinking.

As Chen Qiu said before, all of them want to win.

So they followed Chen Qiu closely.

In his spare time, Chen Qiu always reads music scores and thinks about how he should perform.

Naturally, everyone in the orchestra followed Chen Qiu's lead and read through the music scores. No one was slacking off.

Even though the sound of musical instruments from other schools could be heard from time to time outside the house.

Even though there are often noises and sounds of playing throughout the hotel.

But for them, it has no impact.

Because they want to win the championship.

Not only them, but the group of people from Eastern Normal University also didn't play outside for long after learning that Zhao Zitong was also studying. They just found a place to have a casual meal and then returned to the hotel. middle school study.

There are many other top universities for the same study.

Today is the first and last day.

The last day of rest for all contestants in the national competition.

Starting from tomorrow, all bands will enter the most brutal and only one-chance national competition.

As time passed, the sounds in the hotel became lower and lower, and the night became darker and darker, with only some lights coming from the streets in the distance.

Farther away, you can barely see the steady, calm, and radiant Huaguo Grand Theater.

Chen Qiu put away the sheet music in his hand, put it in his schoolbag, stood up and came to the window.

He looked at the scenery in front of the window with a calm expression.

The stage has been set, the contestants...

Get ready!
