826. Emperor Beethoven arrives under the skirt of the graduation concert
Ma Peng, the stage director in charge of Qin Jian's "Return to the Motherland Performance Concert" held at the Zhongshan Concert Hall, contacted Shen Qingci again at noon.
Regarding the invitation to Qin Jian to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, Ma Peng mentioned it to Qin Jian once after the Report to the Motherland concert.
The two never contacted each other again.
After the Report to the Motherland concert, Qin Jian has been busy with tours and new opera competitions.
Recording, many things had already made him forget the verbal agreement with Ma Peng at that time.
Shen Qingci clearly emphasized the nature of his performance on the phone.
"I understand, Teacher Shen."
Qin Jian hung up the phone, and the fat man came up to him, "You're so awesome, my brother, you're going to the Spring Festival Gala."
"Let's talk about this later."
Qin Jian raised his hand to stop a taxi.
"Don't worry about changing the flute for the time being. Prepare the music carefully when you go back. You and your uncle will come directly to Yanjing on the fourth or fifth day of the new year. I will make detailed arrangements for you then."
The fat man said forcefully: "Okay brother! My father and I will all obey your command."
Qin Jian shook his head, "You."
The two got into the car and sat in the back seat.
“Xijiao Hotel.”
The car started and Qin Jian fastened his seat belt.
"By the way, have you given the class fee to Director Chen?"
The fat man even felt aggrieved when he mentioned it: "I did as you said and put the money on Teacher Chen's desk after class. Then he insisted on me pretending and just asked me to go back and practice piano."
Qin Jian was puzzled: "Then you pretended to be?"
The fat man nodded: "No, I said it was the class fee at the first time, but he still asked me to hide it. I was afraid that it would leave a bad impression on the teacher for the first time, so I kept the money."
Qin Jian was helpless: "Is he holding the money and stuffing it in your pocket, or are you unable to get out without putting the money in it?"
"That's not true." Fatty saw Qin Jian's displeasure, "Did I do something wrong somewhere?"
Qin Jian couldn't help but sigh, and added another favor, "If you encounter this kind of situation in the future, just put the money there and leave."
Fatty: "I understand."
Qin Jian: "Seat belt."
Fatty: "Oh."
——
Back at the hotel, the two discussed their next itinerary. Qin Jian asked Fatty when he would leave back, and Fatty replied that he would wait until the Huayun Competition was over.
The reason is: "I want to relive the finals of the Huayun Competition."
The reason barely holds up.
There are still three days until the finals, and Qin Jian doesn't want Fatty to be idle during these three days.
He was planning to make arrangements for the fat man, but the fat man asked for help: "But these days you have to arrange a place for me to practice flute during the day."
When Qin Jian heard this realization, he thought for a moment, and without saying a word asked the fat man to pack up and set off with him.
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the Huaguo Conservatory of Music.
Figaro's Spring Rehearsal Hall.
"The piano room in the school is locked. You can just practice here these days."
"I'm busy lately and can't take care of you."
As he spoke, Qin Jian threw a key to the fat man, "Take it and don't throw it away. This is the rehearsal hall of our club."
The fat man took the key and looked around, "Hey Qin Jian, what do you think it will be like when I join your band? I'm looking forward to it."
Qin Jian Yile: "The club accepts new members every semester. You must first take the entrance examination."
The fat man turned around and snorted: "Just take the test, and don't give me any trouble when the time comes."
Qin Jian said regretfully: "I guess I won't be in the country by the time you join the group."
The fat man said favorably: "Brother Jian, go and get busy. I'm going to practice the piano right now."
——
After leaving the theater building, Qin Jian walked a few steps to teaching building 309.
Regarding the program arrangement of this Spring Festival Gala, it is a big challenge for him.
If he simply collaborated with a few old singing artists on "My Motherland", Qin Jian could regard it as a simple political mission.
But it was specified that he would assist in the arrangement of the show, so the situation was different.
He is not only responsible for the piano performance, but also for the arrangement of the entire music part.
Unlike ordinary programs, which began to undergo level-by-level approval half a year ago, other programs are about to enter the final stage of approval.
And the preparation for this program with special significance was directly ordered by the **** to start preparations.
The temporary order was issued and the time was not urgent.
Qin Jian calculated the time, and except for going to Germany at the end of the month to attend the global press conference of the record, he didn't have much time to squeeze out.
For rehearsals a year ago, he could only squeeze out about twenty days at most.
"Twenty days."
Qin Jian has no clue yet, "Let's wait until we meet Ma Peng tomorrow."
But before that, he still had to do his homework.
In the following time, Qin Jian watched all the red songs that had appeared on the Spring Festival Gala in the past ten years.
After reading it, he probably had an idea.
It's not difficult, but winning the lottery can't be solved by just relying on his ability.
There is definitely no problem with the singing part of the old artist.
Mainly music and choreography.
——
At three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Qin Jian attended a program seminar on the 2016 Spring Festival Gala "My Motherland".
In a small conference room on the seventh floor of ****, Ma Peng acted as the host.
The four people present included Qin Jian, the leader of the Yanjing Song and Dance Troupe Lin Baoguo, the chief conductor of the Huaguo Symphony Orchestra Li Fenghua, the famous domestic stage choreographer Yang Xi, and the logistics manager of the Spring Festival Gala program planning group Liu Yun.
The five people are all assisting personnel or unit representatives assigned to this mission.
It goes without saying much about the nature of the program. Ma Peng gave a brief introduction and then conducted a detailed discussion with everyone on the program content.
Everyone expressed their opinions, and soon the atmosphere in the conference room became enthusiastic.
Although Qin Jian was a junior, no one present looked down upon his suggestions and ideas.
If he were just a Chopin Competition champion, Qin Jian would not be qualified to sit here.
But at this time, he is sitting here as a conductor who has just won the Gold Conductor Award at the International New Opera Competition and as an opera composer.
Then his opinions and ideas are very important.
Moreover, music arrangement is an extremely important part of several links. Without good music arrangement, no matter how good the choreography, singing and dancing are, there will be no success.
Ma Peng nominated Qin Jian to participate in this program because he valued Qin Jian's two other identities besides being a pianist.
He has listened to Qin Jian’s adaptations of Jasmine Flower and The River Flows, and has also seen Qin Jian’s original European operas. He believes that there is no person in China more suitable for this music arrangement task than Qin Jian.
If Qin Jian is also responsible for the live performance, the effect of the program will definitely be even higher.
——
After nearly three hours of discussion, two plans were drawn up.
Both programs revolve around singing and dancing.
The Huaguo Symphony Orchestra is responsible for the concerto, the Yanjing Song and Dance Ensemble is responsible for the chorus and dance parts, Yang Xi's team is responsible for the stage design, and Liu Yun is responsible for the logistics and overall arrangements related to the program.
Which plan to implement in the end requires Qin Jian to come up with two musical adaptations before discussing.
After the meeting, the bosses left one after another to arrange the work of their subordinates.
Ma Peng left Qin Jian alone and said earnestly: "Xiao Qin, three days is a bit short."
Qin Jian: "I'll try my best."
Ma Peng: "Don't feel pressure, **** believes in you."
