The violin competition jointly organized by Huaxia Official and the Munich Conservatory of Music is quite weighty even if it is placed in the world. As soon as the competition ended, many public opinion media reported the matter one after another, and the entire Chinese music industry was slightly shaken for a while.
Everyone in the world knows that the first man on the moon was Armstrong, but few people know that the second man on the moon was Aldrin. As soon as the competition was over, Sheng Yanhui, who won the championship, was in the limelight, and soon he would follow Professor Karl to the Munich Conservatory of Music for further studies.
Of course, Qi Mu's reports are much less, but Professor Carr mentions him from time to time in interviews, which is considered a bit of fame. But this was not enough. Zheng Weiqiao contacted several music media with good relations the next day and wrote a few music reviews for Qi Mu himself.
With such double cannonballs going on, Qi Mu's name really became known in China.
S city.
"This kid Qi Mu... Really changed so much?" A gray-haired old man pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in surprise.
City H.
"Have the same name and surname? Oh, no, isn't Zheng Weiqiao, who wrote this manuscript, a student of Ruyue? Is this really Qi Mu?!" A middle-aged man looked at the "Hall of Music" magazine in surprise, unable to recover for a long time.
N city.
"It's not bad to get the second place. This kid has been around for so many years, and now he's finally improving a bit. Do I want to go take a look..." An elegant lady thought for a while, and put down the "" sound of Music".
…
Such scenarios are happening everywhere in China. Paying attention to current affairs in the industry is something that every person in the music industry will do, and several magazines and newspapers that Zheng Weiqiao specially selected are indeed relatively heavyweight in China. to ask others.
When Qi Mu found out about this at first, he felt very sorry for him, but Zheng Weiqiao said: "Xiao Qi, don't feel sorry for me, shouldn't I help you? The accident teacher helped me so much, I should repay a little now. But it also depends on your own efforts. To be honest, I almost gave up on you before. After so many years, I don’t have the patience and confidence to change you again. You can Keep working hard and don't live up to my expectations."
Qi Mu was surprised to hear the words: "Give up... me?"
Zheng Weiqiao nodded and recalled: "I'm not afraid you know, just the day you said you want to get the violin back, I went to your house to showdown with you. Xiao Qi, in fact, I'm a little ashamed to say it. The job I introduced to you that day should be the last one, after so many years... I can't stand it anymore."
The original owner has been with him for so many years, and it is rare to introduce him to work for a month, and it is normal for him to last a week. No matter how Zheng Weiqiao knew how to repay his gratitude, he almost became disheartened. If he was told that the original owner had degenerated to the point of smoking marijuana, he would probably be even more angry.
Qi Mu naturally understood Zheng Weiqiao's psychology. After he comforted the other party and let Zheng Weiqiao relax a little, the two quickly drove to the small building of the Symphony Orchestra in City B. The morning sun was mild and brilliant, and although it was autumn, today was a rare good weather that was not cold.
"Hey Xiao Qi, it's quite early today."
"Xiao Qi, I heard that you won the second place in the Munich competition yesterday? It's really good!"
"Hey Xiaoqi, you're here. Let's practice the harmony of the third part. The rehearsal is about to begin. I'm really nervous."
…
After Qi Mu and the orchestra members who were already present greeted each other, he took out his violin and started to practice harmony first. Zheng Weiqiao saw that he seemed to have entered a state, but after a few words with friends he knew in the orchestra, he left first.
Today is the last rehearsal of the B City Symphony Orchestra, and tomorrow is the rehearsal, which is a big event for everyone in the orchestra. Since its establishment, the B City Symphony Orchestra has performed many performances in China, including Europe and the United States several times, but this does not mean that they can take it lightly.
No one applauds a band's perpetual success, they only see it as a one-time failure.
When Tan Zhenghui entered the rehearsal hall, he saw this scene—
Everyone in the orchestra is concentrating on tuning and practicing. The most eye-catching on TV is the group of the second violin group, who are gathered around and practice with each other. Especially the tall and handsome young man in the middle, anyone who looks at it will find this "stand out" like existence.
It's not that others are too ordinary, you can only blame...
You who should enter the entertainment industry have entered classical music and played the violin!
Mr. Tan coughed softly, and the others hurried back to their seats. He gave Du Sheng a wink to Du Sheng, who was sitting in the lead violin. The latter immediately stood up and started to announce the last rehearsal today. Things to watch out for.
Then came the last rehearsal.
From the first Dvorak's "Sixth" to the last Brahms' "Symphony No. 4", everyone focused and played it earnestly. In total, Mr. Tan only played in three There are a few lines at the end of the first piece, in stark contrast to the frenzy of the band's first day of ensemble performance.
After more than a month of practice, it really paid off.
When the last day of rehearsal was about to end in the evening, Tan Zhenghui put down the baton in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. This old man who has held the baton in the B City Symphony Orchestra for more than ten years and has always been highly respected seems to have become much younger in an instant. He looked around and said, "This is our last national tour this year, you are ready. Yet?"
Du Sheng replied in place of the orchestra: "Old Tan, please rest assured, everyone has been waiting for the stage."
Tan Zhenghui nodded lightly, and then said: "This year's tour is similar to usual, the first stop is City S, then City H, City N, City C, City W, and finally back to City B. It will be held within a month. Six performances are really tight, but you know, the big bands in Europe are faster than us."
Du Sheng responded and said: "Well, the Vienna Philharmonic will end their last tour tomorrow, and they have performed four performances in half a month." After a pause, he added: " And it's a global show."
Tan Zhenghui said: "Yes. The Berlin Philharmonic is even more exaggerated. They have performed five performances in two weeks, and each performance has been well received. Compared with their centuries-old orchestras, we may be worse. Some background, but I believe that your strength will not be worse than them."
After speaking, Tan Lao's eyes suddenly focused on Qi Mu who was in the audience, his sharp eyes instantly slowed down, and his tone was soft: "I went to listen to the violin competition jointly held with Munich a few days ago. , your performance is very good."
When he suddenly mentioned his own fame, Qi Mu immediately got up, and a beautiful smile appeared on his handsome face: "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Tan, and I will continue to work hard."
Unexpectedly, Tan Lao's face froze, and then he said stiffly: "But an orchestra performance is not an individual competition, Qi Mu, we have no opponents, and we are not allowed to have any opportunities for humility. If you want to perform, you must perform to the best of your ability. Okay, you know?!"
Qi Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then instantly understood.
Unexpectedly... Even Mr. Tan found something wrong.
Qi Mu nodded with a wry smile, and quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Yes, yes, Mr. Tan, I will definitely try my best to perform."
Upon seeing this, Mr. Tan nodded with satisfaction, and then began to talk about others.
After Qi Mu sat down, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Anyone who can hear that his last "E Minor" is a bit intentionally waterproof thinks that he wants to let Sheng Yanhui go to the Munich Conservatory of Music. But only he knows that in his current situation, going to Munich means giving up everything in China.
Robert Carr will be a good teacher, but he doesn't need a good teacher now, but a stage for himself to struggle. Going to the Munich Conservatory means that Qi Mu will focus on studying in the next few years. Only he himself knows that he has already learned these things, and there is no need to study them again.
So the last song deliberately released water, not only for Sheng Yanhui, but for himself.
The best of both worlds, why not do it
but…
Qi Mu raised his eyes to look at Mr. Tan who was standing on the podium, his narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
Tan Lao asked him to participate in this competition. Could it be that he wanted him to go to Munich to study
After thinking about it, Qi Mu shook his head to shake the thought out of his head.
…
On the second day, the rehearsal of the B City Symphony Orchestra was naturally a complete success, and thus began the orchestra's upcoming tour in China. And when Qi Mu got off the plane with the band and finally set foot on the ground of S City, he had absolutely no idea how many people were already gearing up for the second night's concert.
In S City, there are a group of old and strong seniors still alive.
Xiao Qi, are you really ready
