Eight hundred and fortieth chapters polite
On Friday morning, Yang Jingxing continued to teach An Xin. The main content was still the first Variations on a Theme of Paganini by Brahms, the second round of the competition. The fifteen fragments totaled just over ten minutes, but in An Xin
During the preparation period, practice time accounted for nearly one hundred hours.
An Xin is perseverant and strong, and she can repeat the half-minute clip twenty or thirty times without any complaints or emotions. Yang Jingxing is also a good teacher. He is very patient in listening, speaking and demonstrating. As long as the students can do it in the first place.
An improvement of 1% or even 1,000% based on the previous steps is a great value for money.
Professor Hu from the Piano Department often emphasizes that hard work requires hard work. In his view, it seems that any talent or spirituality is secondary. As long as he is willing to endure hardship, everyone can become an excellent pianist. Now
Now An Xin's ambition must be very appreciated by Professor Hu.
I have carefully revised two paragraphs in the morning, not to mention a lot of homework, and the task for the next two days tomorrow is the remaining paragraphs. Yang Jingxing seems to be unable to bear it: "The pace can be a little slower. During this time, I
Not too busy.”
An Xin nodded: "I'm going to go out for a walk tomorrow afternoon."
Yang Jingxing smiled: "If Xinting doesn't know how to reward herself, just go out for a walk?"
An Xin hehe: "The best reward is harvest...it's you who didn't gain anything."
Yang Jingxing confessed: "I'm just counting on you to help me build my reputation."
An Xin exaggerated her expression: "Pressure is motivation!"
After one o'clock, Yang Jingxing's car arrived at the Chinese Orchestra, and the treatment was not much worse than before. There were still people watching at the windows of 306, and Yu Feifei's wave was still enthusiastic.
However, after Yang Jingxing went upstairs, 306 didn't have the momentum of swarming him before. It was just three or four people who greeted him briefly and half-heartedly asked the consultant if he had had lunch.
Qi Qingnuo also looked down from the office: "It's so early...the girls are picking up the guests."
Yang Jingxing stopped Wang Rui from waking her up from her beauty sleep: "...I'll take a look at the score, and you can do your own business."
The concert of 306 on the 17th will still be performed in the Chinese Theater of the National Grand Theater. Ticket sales started a week ago, and currently only nearly half of them have been sold. But don’t worry, according to experience, less well-known small bands can sell tickets before the show starts.
If half are sold in a week, the attendance rate of 70% to 80% will definitely be no problem. This is not embarrassing at all for a group with such qualifications as 306.
In contrast, the "Autumn Rhythm Renewal" concert held by 306 this time is much more frugal than the Spring in Puhai. There is no east wind, and no posters can be seen in subway stations or roadside billboards. Except for ethnic minorities
For the band and some performance information or ticketing websites, the biggest promotion is only the two light box advertising spaces in the Grand Theater, which will last for the first half of the month, but the posters are quite simple, and the photos are still used from last time. There are also girls who spontaneously
Some online publicity or canvassing will definitely help the box office.
Yang Jingxing had already heard about the program arrangement from Wang Rui, so he considered it relevant. The opening song was an adaptation of "Autumn" from Vivaldi's Four Suites. Wang Rui adapted a violin concerto into a version that 306 could perform.
The boss's admiration is not bragging. What Qi Qingnuo did was basically to re-create a piece of music. It required no less talent and thought than "He Yue Qin Xin", but it was not as heavy a workload.
Yang Jingxing read the score carefully, and after reading less than half of it, he expressed his admiration to the accompanying girls: "The leader is becoming more and more sophisticated."
Chai Litian nodded repeatedly: "The feeling of sunshine, autumn wind, and fallen leaves is still there. I think it has an extra layer of charm. I feel that the original song is beautiful and picturesque, but the older one has a sense of desolation."
Yang Jingxing squinted at Chai Litian: "Huh, I've made you my best friend."
The girls were hehehehe, and they suddenly became energetic. Wang Rui said with disdain: "If you have the ability, you can tell her face to face."
Liu Siman was loyal to the consultant: "No problem, I will definitely tell you."
Yu Feifei also admires the consultant: "We have practiced and summarized many times, and Uncle Wei can tell the trick right away..."
In fact, Chai Litian is being conservative. Qi Qingnuo's adaptation of "Autumn" is completely different from the original song, with the flow of the erhu, the gentleness of the bamboo flute, the brilliant interaction of the guzheng and the dulcimer, and the intensity of the three-stringed guitar and the electric guitar.
Color contrast... except that the main melody is similar to the original song, the harmonies are completely overturned.
Qi Qingnuo is indeed a lot more sophisticated, and he is becoming more and more proficient in using the harmonic relationships of these instruments in 306, and can even be said to be able to control them with ease. Although it is still an adaptation in a strict sense, Qi Qingnuo's performance
His solid theories, clever musical ideas and novel methods will definitely make the professors of the composition department applaud.
After reading the score, Yang Jingxing was very happy: "My welfare is guaranteed."
Wang Rui hated the fact that iron cannot be made into steel: "If you have the ability, you can tell us when the time comes. If you dare to ask us, you will definitely not be stingy!"
Liu Siman was alert: "I didn't say anything."
The opening song is followed by several solos, such as "Good Night" by Liu Siman and "Su Wu Sheep" by Yu Feifei. With her skills, this kind of classic piece is a sure success, and Yang Jingxing doesn't read any scores anymore.
Shao Fangjie was more daring and adapted the popular piano piece "Autumn Whispers" for erhu. Wang Rui also told Yang Jingxing that the melody arrangement was completed by Shao Fangjie himself, and later went through some modifications by Qi Qingnuo, and added simple
The keyboard accompaniment prevents it from appearing weak compared to the original song, although the original song is not that rich.
Although Shao Fangjie is taking a break, Yang Jingxing also believes that the song will be very popular and his welfare will be more secure.
Chai Litian is also good. She adapted a song "Dense Autumn" and played the lead role herself, while also playing Nian Qing, with Shao Fangjie and Gao Pianpian supporting her.
Yang Jingxing first said bad things: "In the future, try to avoid such things that may infringe copyright, although others will not pursue them..."
Wang Rui screamed: "The producer is amazing. Fortunately we didn't change "Cardamom", otherwise we would have been sued! We can't afford to sell ourselves to compensate!"
Yang Jingxing explained: "I'm afraid that you will give people an excuse and make people famous."
Chai Litian still respects copyright: "I have thought about it, but... when the time comes, there will be a tribute to the composer on stage, and the program list has also been written."
Yang Jingxing nodded and looked at the score again. It was a good thing. Compared with the original group accompaniment of "Let's Swing the Oars", Chai Litian's subtraction this time was very good. She was obviously not so nervous and strenuous. The music was also full of flavor. It should be
The original author will not be offended by clumsiness.
Qi Qingnuo also adapted two songs, "Butterfly Spring" and "Phoenix Bamboo Under the Moonlight", with Pipa and Guzheng as the protagonists respectively. Technically, it is much easier than the opening song, but the group leader did not perfunctory either.
Withstand scrutiny.
Shao Fangjie, Cai Feixuan and Gao Pianpian also came, as if they were afraid of missing the consultant's opinion on their participation in the program, although several girls did not have solo performances this time.
The closing song of the concert was the main dish, "It's Us". Needless to say, Yang Jingxing, but Yu Feifei's Haha Welfare was even more sure of it.
Although it may not be performed, Yang Jingxing watched "A Thousand Years of Waiting" adapted by Qi Qingnuo and planned to use it as an encore.
Judging from the score, it is obvious that the purpose of the program is to amuse the audience. There is not much thought and re-creation in the arrangement, but it is to fully mobilize the audience's memories of the original song.
Some of the little tricks Qi Qingnuo used in the arrangement were so bad that Yang Jingxing even laughed at them...
Wang Rui couldn't stand it: "Why didn't you say infringement?"
Yang Jingxing hehe.
Liu Siman explained to the consultant that this concert was prepared by everyone from scratch. Of course, there was a consensus that it was to start from scratch and rely on everyone's own abilities, so the positioning was not particularly particular, and it could also be seen in the program arrangement...
…
Cai Feixuan is simple and concise: "Just don't take yourself too seriously and stay rooted in the masses!"
Yang Jingxing wondered: "Isn't it bad to be too modest?"
Let alone Wang Rui, the seven girls were so excited. Do you, Yang Jingxing, have the right to say this!?
The situation was all understood, but there was still a while before the lunch break. Yang Jingxing put down what he was doing and said, "I'm going to see if Lu Zhi is there. I'll come back later."
The girls nodded and did not send them downstairs. Yu Feifei informed Qi Qingnuo who was still busy in the office in the corridor: "Boss, Uncle Wei, go over there and come back later."
Qi Qingnuo really tried to make every effort: "Wait a minute, bring me something over there...forget it."
Yang Jingxing was also angry: "You are playing tricks on me."
How come the chief conductor of the orchestra had nothing to do in the office? Yang Jingxing did not notify him in advance, so he visited the main building and had a cup of tea in Wen Fujiang's office. Wen Fujiang regarded Yang Jingxing as a consultant and said that he was discussing with Captain Qi
, it’s time for 306 to release an album or something, but leader Qi is very humble, and he must say that he is not qualified enough.
But there are some things that Wen Fujiang thinks are non-negotiable, such as the city's top ten outstanding young people, March 8th red flag bearers, outstanding literary and artistic workers... Such things must be reported to Captain Qi in the group, not just her personally,
It is also a collective honor for the Chinese orchestra.
Yang Jingxing only listened and did not consult on matters other than music.
After passing some time with the musicians of the main group, when the time came, Yang Jingxing went over to 306 to enjoy the rehearsal.
Yang Jingxing became more and more lazy: "I'll just go through the motions and listen to a few new ensembles."
Qi Qingnuo agreed: "That's fine."
306 has been preparing for so long, and there are no big obvious problems. Consultant Yang just gave some detailed opinions, but it took some time, plus rest and uncontrollable chatting, and it was almost time to get off work after finishing it.
Originally preparing to call it a day, Gao Pianpian took the lead. Several soloists still wanted to hear the consultant's opinion. Yang Jingxing did not refuse, and Qi Qingnuo did not object.
Yang Jingxing's ears still worked a bit, and the girls were strict with themselves. After a few more attempts, it was already past six o'clock.
I also haven't listened to He Peiyuan's slightly adapted version of "Plum Blossom Tune", which just adds a drum beat under the three strings. Nian Qing can improvise without any problem. He Peiyuan is also confident in herself or in a hurry: "Forget it, I'm off work."
Yang Jingxing nodded in support: "If you have nothing to do, you can leave first. You have to finish playing."
Several girls laughed, and He Peiyuan rolled her eyes.
Qi Qingnuo reminded Wang Rui: "Let's go first, you have to wait."
Wang Rui was embarrassed: "I, I want to take a Mercedes-Benz today, hey!"
He Peiyuan declared: "I want to take the Mercedes-Benz!"
However, the unity and loyalty of 306 is still there. After everyone listened to He Peiyuan's performance and Yang Jingxing's comments, they got off work together.
After going downstairs, Yang Jingxing didn't have to send anyone back to school. The girls had their own plans, and Wang Rui's proposal to have dinner together didn't get more than half of the support.
Gao Pianpian was kind-hearted and took two quick steps to Yang Jingxing's left side to stop him from being alone. However, the topic was still art: "Which folk music do you think is the most picturesque?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I think there are many, but there is no one. You have a say in this better than me. You know painting, and national arts are all very interoperable."
Gao Pianpian was modest: "I only know a little bit..."
They went to the car in twos and threes and said goodbye to each other. Zhang Lei, the famous young erhu performer of the Chinese National Orchestra, got out of his car and praised the juniors with a smile: "Thank you for working overtime so late."
The group of 306 girls was so incompetent that no one among the seven could stand out. In the end, Qi Qingnuo had to step forward and said, "You too, you haven't left yet."
Zhang Lei smiled skillfully: "Oh, I have something to do with Xiao He. I knew you were rehearsing so I waited for a while. It's okay."
However, 306 is still a bit more mature. He is not as quick to laugh or ridicule out of nowhere as he was when he was a student. Everyone is relatively calm. Gao Pianpian even opened the car door.
Zhang Lei nodded again to Yang Jingxing who was looking at him: "Hello..." and then looked at others before Yang Jingxing could respond: "It's nothing serious. I have made an old friend, the alto Professor Zhu, who gave me an erhu and three-string ensemble piece.
, the writing is very, very beautiful and moving. I would like to invite Xiao He to do this premiere with us. I don’t know if I will have this honor, haha.”
Chapter completed!
