767. The whispers compiled by 31 people to finalize the relationship between best friends Qin and Cai
Xia Dong took over: "This way the voices will be even, and the configuration is just right."
Seeing that the two conductors gave the same advice at the same time, Qin Jian said nothing more.
The next question is who to replace?
Among the people removed from the list were two clarinets and three cellos.
Lao Chen, the director of the orchestral department, spoke up and gave Qin Jian some advice. He said in a Dongzhou dialect: "Liu Wei's piano playing is not good. I think he is nervous today."
Qin Jian recalled that the boy's performance of the first half of the Bach acapella was indeed pretty good. Compared to the other two, he was somewhat impressed by Liu Wei.
In addition, Old Chen spoke up for Liu Wei. Qin Jian didn't know if the two had some kind of relationship before, so he just nodded his head as a favor and said, "Well, that's what you said."
After deciding on the candidate for cello, the final choice was for clarinet.
The two freshmen who were kicked out of the solo orchestra were almost the same. One made a mistake and failed to keep up with the piano, and the other played the orchestra section in a mess.
If it weren't for the purpose of completing the configuration, he wouldn't want it, at least during this competition.
The other people didn't give any more opinions. They probably had similar ideas to Qin Jian.
Qin Jian looked at Ning Qianxia, who hesitated for a moment.
"Tao Xue."
"Tao Xue?" Qin Jian asked suspiciously.
Ning Qianxia paused, "Her performance in the band's selection was pretty good."
"Okay." Qin Jian responded. In fact, if he had to choose one, he would choose Tao Xue. After all, he is Fang Xiaoyu's roommate, so he should be his apprentice who can take care of him a little.
But this is all temporary. If Tao Xue does not improve in the next assessment, he will rather find other ways than let Tao Xue stay in the team going to Germany.
...
After three and a half hours of busy work, Qin Jian proposed that both objectives of this assessment have been achieved.
The first is to initially determine the list of going to Germany.
Then he can start rehearsing in a big way.
Secondly, with the help of Xia Dong and Cai Song, he determined the final configuration of the participating orchestra.
After that, in the second round of assessment, he can consider the final list of personnel based on this fixed configuration.
...
After the assessment, Qin Jian treated everyone to a meal.
Naturally, everyone drank some wine at the dinner, except Ning Qianxia who drank water.
After the dinner, Qin Jian asked Ning Qianxia to help him drive the car back.
He and Cai Song had some activities for a while.
Ning Qianxia asked Qin Jian before taking the car keys and leaving, "When will the results of the assessment be announced to everyone? I'll do it?"
"I'll tell you in the group later." Qin Jian felt that it was more appropriate for him to talk about this matter.
Ning Qianxia nodded and drove away.
Qin Jian and Cai Song then took a taxi to Fuge Bar.
...
On the way, Qin Jian announced today's assessment results in the group and told everyone that there would be a second assessment on the 16th.
Finally he edited a message.
Let it go: everyone can take the second assessment, and the assessment content remains unchanged.
...
The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time.
Both of them have been busy for most of the year.
One is busy participating in the competition.
One was busy giving 32 concerts.
Seeing that the end of the year is here, everyone has gained something and achieved success.
Two young musicians who seem to be the most successful outside the country, naturally have endless topics to talk about when they sit together at such a time.
Such as music, such as applause, such as next.
"I watched your interview video. Has the specific tour date been set? At the end of the year?"
In the bar, the two of them sat side by side at the high bar. The bartender at the bar was still the same as before.
"It's too late at the end of the year," Qin Jian said, "I have to wrap up my domestic tour before going to Germany while there's still some buzz (laughs)."
"Huh?" Cai Song said in surprise, "Are you planning to tour and rehearse here?"
Qin Jian sighed: "Otherwise, there is nothing we can do."
Cai Song shook his head: "Trouble."
Qin Jian: "There will be more things at the beginning of next year, and I will be preparing to go to Vienna after the New Year.
Cai Song: “Immigration?”
Qin Jian: "Go to school."
Cai Song laughed: "I don't understand."
After a pause, Cai Song raised his glass and said, "But I wish you good luck."
Qin Jian had a drink with him, "You too, what about you, do you have any plans for next year?"
Cai Song sighed: "In the first half of the year, I plan to participate in two music festivals, and in the second half of the year, I plan to record Beiwu and Beijiu."
Qin Jian laughed: "You are actually planning to record Bei Wu and Bei Jiu, have you compromised?"
Cai Song smiled bitterly: "After Gu performed the last show this year, many old people quit the group."
Qin Jian frowned: "Why?"
Cai Song: "Gu and EMI haven't signed a formal contract yet. To be honest, I can hardly afford to support this band."
Although this was the first time Qin Jian had heard that an orchestra had to rely on a conductor to support itself, considering Cai Song's character and the other party's musical philosophy, he could probably understand why the other party ended up in this situation.
Making music and doing marketing sometimes conflict.
Not to mention niche classical music
As a young and stubborn avant-garde conductor with ideas, it is indeed a difficult question whether to choose oneself or the current market.
Obviously, Cai Song chose himself at the previous stage. As a result, the band he created still has no contract and there is still a loss of personnel.
This kind of personnel loss is a greater loss for an orchestra that already has a mature playing style than not being able to sign a contract.
So it’s no wonder that the other party will tend to record symphonic works like Bei Wu Bei Jiu that cater more to the classical market.
Qin Jian also sighed. He felt it was a pity. Although the other party's musical concept was in irreconcilable conflict with his, it was also a particularly shining talent.
moment.
Cai Song: "Let's look at next year. If it doesn't work next year, we'll find another place the year after. There are many record companies."
This sounds more like Cai Song's self-comfort.
Qin Jian: "No problem, Gu is definitely one of the top groups in Asia."
Qin Jian spoke from his heart.
Thank you, I understand this, but sometimes I feel helpless," Cai Song laughed, "Let's look at next year, don't talk about this anymore, come on."
The two of them had another drink.
The mellow wort makes the whole body feel comfortable.
"By the way, Qin Jian, is that Chinese girl who participated in the competition with you your girlfriend?" Cai Song suddenly asked.
"You can refuse to answer." Cai Song added.
Qin Jian nodded: "Yes."
Cai Song smiled mischievously, "I always thought you and Qian Xia would have some kind of story. What a pity."
Qin Jian's mouth twitched: "We are just friends."
"Tsk, tsk." Cai Song clicked his tongue, "Okay, friends are friends, right?"
"Come and drink to your friends."
...
The two chatted and drank, and it was almost twelve o'clock when they returned to school.
After saying goodbye at the school gate, Qin Jian went back to school directly.
After returning to the dormitory, he sent a message in the group.
‘Let it go: Those who have passed the first round of assessment will gather in the rehearsal hall at 12:30 noon tomorrow’
