13 people are indeed quite a lot, much more than planned. This is a music school. Originally, there were less than 150 people in the first level. Counting yesterday, there are almost 40 people in the club now.
"Thank you for your hard work," Qin Jian nodded and said, "What parts are still missing in the orchestra now?"
Chen Tangjie waved his hand, "It's not hard on me. You have to thank Qian Xia and Xia Shu. I have a class in the afternoon, and they have been sitting here from the morning until just now, and basically all the voices you want are available."
"Very good."
Patting Chen Tangjie's shoulder, Qin Jian nodded to express his understanding: "Tang Jian, I have to trouble you again. This is Carmen's orchestra score and parts. Take this and print it out according to the number of voices. Today
It will be used in the evening. I will go to the student union now to get the key to the rehearsal venue. I will also go to the student office to submit the welcome program. Please inform everyone to bring their instruments and gather in classroom 7 of the theater at 6:30.
"ok."
...
six thirty.
Figures carrying musical instruments walked into Classroom 7 one by one.
Classroom 7 in the theater building is a medium-sized hall with a small stage but not many seats. This was a common venue used by the college to rehearse small programs in the past.
There are naturally better rehearsal venues in the school, but as a freshman club, being able to get such a rehearsal venue is a sign of respect for Qin Jian, the teacher responsible for allocating the venue.
In no time, everyone was here.
Everyone looked at Qin Jian, waiting for his speech, especially the new members who were not present yesterday, and they were full of expectations.
The scene was quiet for a while.
Looking at the curious faces, Qin Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's a little hot in here."
"Hahaha----"
Everyone laughed, the president seemed quite interesting.
"I feel sorry for you all for the time being. I will resolve the venue issue as soon as possible."
"Welcome to the new classmates who joined today, leave any other words behind."
We don’t have much time, I just submitted our club’s program application.”
"There are less than nine days until our show goes on stage," Qin Jian glanced at the crowd, "Our time is already very tight."
"so."
"Let's put on your instruments and come on stage, everyone, let's let our actions speak for themselves."
"Everybody move!"
"Xiao Liang and Xiao Funan, you two will distribute the scores to everyone. Xiao Liang, you are in charge of the orchestra, and Xiao Funan, you are in charge of the choir."
"Oh, from now on the genealogy work will be left to us..."
"Tangjie Sasha, you two are chatting with Xia Shu."
"Okay!" the three of them said in unison.
"Qian Xia, you have five minutes to arrange the new choir members and decide the position of the choir on the stage."
"ok~"
Following Qin Jian's instructions one after another, the atmosphere in Classroom Seven suddenly became tense.
The sound of various strings and pipes being tested came and went.
But in this atmosphere, everyone felt a sense of excitement.
And this sense of excitement is particularly important for actors on stage, especially for these freshmen, most of whom have never participated in group rehearsals.
five minutes later.
On the stage, two rows of chorus members were standing to the left of Aso Natsuki, who was sitting in front of the grand piano. In front of the choir were two rows of treble string sections. Opposite the treble string section was the bass string section. The entire ensemble was in the shape of a trapezoid.
Behind the string section is a row of wind sections. On the elevated platform in the last row of the stage, Zheng Feng sits behind four sets of timpani, as if he is the strongest backing, and Ning Qianxia stands at the front.
"At least it's a little interesting in terms of momentum."
Qin Jian stood in the audience and nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
"Antiphony."
After a crisp finger snap, the orchestra started to move.
...
"handsome."
Wang Xiaoliang, who was sitting far away, looked at Qin Jian's upright back and couldn't help but said, "I like it, I feel it."
The little cutie on the side nodded in agreement, and for a moment, she smiled suspiciously: "Wang Xiaoliang, you don't like men, do you?
Wang Xiaoliang turned his head seriously: "If you are a man."
...
The conversation ends.
Qin Jian supported the edge of the stage with his left hand and jumped up. Although he was not very satisfied with the pitch of the music, considering everyone's situation, it was already very good. Details could not be adjusted in a moment.
"Okay, let's give it ten minutes for everyone to try out the music score. It's not too difficult to break up the score."
The orchestra started moving again.
...
"Qian Xia, this is how I envisioned the chorus. I hope everyone will sing you in French. Do you think it's difficult?"
"This takes time. If it's just a clip, the time should be enough, but it may not meet your expectations. And if action and drama are added by then, the effect will definitely be compromised. I have sung operas and I know this.
.”
Qin Jian thought deeply, "It is indeed a problem."
After a moment, Ning Qianxia smiled and said: "But you don't have to worry. I will be responsible for the French lyrics. The rest will be done step by step. The stage can be simplified. We are not filming a whole Carmen, so in terms of drama,
You can try to downplay it as much as possible, but the stage effect must be there, and there is also the issue of costumes, so we can’t just let everyone wear formal clothes.”
Ning Qianxia pointed out a few key issues, and Qin Jian nodded, "Otherwise, I have basically studied the script of Carmen, and everyone will stay in their current positions for the chorus part. I will figure out the costumes, and that will include
Including the orchestra, let everyone put on costumes that match the repertoire, build a stage background, and then the performance will mainly rely on you to support it. Do you think this is feasible?"
"Myself?"
"You let me act like a slut on stage alone."
Ning Qianxia looked at Qin Jian and blinked his long eyelashes.
moment.
"If you need it, I have no problem."
Qin Jian was speechless, and the other party's words were probably too straightforward.
He quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. What I meant is that you are responsible for holding up the stage. Your performance is very important. Even if what we rehearse is not an opera, it is at least a stage play. There is no story character.
What’s the difference between that and a chorus?”
"I agree." Ning Qianxia nodded, "So is there any difference between this and what I said?"
"Uh~" Qin Jian was speechless this time.
"Or," Ning Qianxia smiled, "What kind of woman do you think Carmen is?"
Leaving questions behind, she took the lyrics and walked towards the choir.
...
The time reserved for ten minutes was delayed by nearly half an hour.
"I know this is the first time for everyone. It doesn't matter. It's also the first time for me to stand in front of the stage as a conductor."
"Adjust your breathing, let's try it first."
"The piano jumps, the string section plucks the strings, pay attention to the crescendo at the beginning."
...
"Qian Xia, are you ready?"
"at any time."
...
Qin Jian raised and lowered his hands, and the frivolous piano and provocative pizzicato floated on the stage like flirting.
