Indeed, as Zheng Weiqiao said, the middle-aged man did have some strength as the deputy principal of the B City Pipeline Symphony Orchestra. What he played was the second movement of Dvorak's "Sixth Symphony in D Major". , is a gentle and slow adagio.
The music is soft and comfortable, as if a gentle hand is plucking people's heartstrings, even Qi Mu gave a good evaluation of this piece. The only pity is that in the final closing part, the middle-aged man was obviously a little too impatient, and did not handle the peaceful ending at the end.
Qi Mu frowned.
This is a major mistake in a European big orchestra concert, one that can be warned or even removed from the list. But for the current orchestra's recruitment fair, this middle-aged man has performed well enough, at least for the other players to be ready.
"Child from the Qi family, in this world you are not talented enough to do anything. Your parents died early, and I will discipline you for them, so that you know what to say, what not to say, and where to go. Where to go and where not to go." After the middle-aged man finished playing his repertoire, he deliberately walked to Qi Mu's side, and sneered and slapped the next sentence.
When Qi Mu heard the words, he suddenly laughed, it seemed... This person really thinks he is a soft persimmon, so he can pinch it casually
"Mr. Lu, do you know... what kind of person said this before you?"
The middle-aged man was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Who?"
The handsome and handsome eyebrows frowned slightly, Qi Mu pretended to think for a while, and then said: "Mr. Tan Lao, chief conductor of the B City Symphony Orchestra, Xu Chairman of the China Music Association, Music Director of the S City Symphony Orchestra... Munich Philharmonic Orchestra Mr. Verona, the principal violinist, and Mr. Derek, the music director of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Well, that's all for now."
Qi Mu's tone was calm and calm, but when the surrounding people heard his smiling voice, their eyes widened in surprise, and the voice of tsk tsk exclamation sounded from time to time.
And the more the middle-aged man heard the name, the darker his face became. Not to mention the music director of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, these people are the chief conductor of the B City Symphony Orchestra, which is too far away from his world.
This middle-aged man originally watched Qi Mu lose his parents and family background, and wanted to get down and ridicule this genius child prodigy, but unexpectedly, he lifted a stone and smashed his foot, making him disgraced. You must know that the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse. Even if these seniors look at Qi's parents, it is impossible for others to humiliate Qi Mu like this.
It's his business that Qi Mu is willing to degenerate. If you bully him, that's your fault.
In the heart of the old senior, there has always been a steelyard hanging.
The middle-aged man felt that his face was dull, so he had to say "If you have the ability, you can take this recruitment and talk about it", and then left aggressively. And Qi Mu looked at his distant back with pity and pity in his eyes.
People who are blinded by jealousy will never go too far on this road.
Qi Mu didn't come early today, and the serial number was also in the last few. When it was his turn, there were only three or four people left in the field, and the middle-aged man was also among them, looking at Qi Mu with cold eyes. Get ready to see his jokes.
"Heh, a hairy boy who thinks he hasn't played a violin for a few years, can he really be on a par with us?"
Qi Mu ignored the deliberately provocative words. After hearing his serial number, he put down the rosin that he kept wiping in his hands, got up and walked to the front court.
The performance stage of this job fair is a small theater, and several heavyweights of the B City Symphony Orchestra sit in the center of the front row of the seats. A high-wattage spotlight illuminates the center of the stage, giving the contestants a standing position.
Qi Mu took a step and walked over calmly.
"Qi Mu...?" The principal violinist of the B City Symphony Orchestra sitting in the front row read out the name in surprise, then immediately turned to look at the white-haired old man beside him, and asked tentatively, "Old Tan, is it... Is that Qi Mu?"
The white-haired old man snorted coldly and said, "Listen to the song."
The principal violin smiled and didn't ask any further questions.
"No. 36, Qi Mu, the second movement of Dvorak's "Symphony in D Major", teachers please advise."
As soon as these words landed, the face of the middle-aged man surnamed Lu who was watching from the side turned dark, and the other players around also snickered and covered their mouths, pointing at him. As for the people sitting on the jury's seat, they were also stunned. Du Sheng, the violin principal of the B City Symphony Orchestra, first asked curiously, "Qi Mu, wasn't the piece you chose to play the fourth movement?"
Dvorak's name is a legendary existence in the history of music. He has nine most brilliant symphonies in his life. Among them, the ninth symphony that has spread all over the world also has a name - "From the New World", and this "New World". Symphony in D major is the sixth of the nine.
The main pieces of this concert of the B City Symphony Orchestra are Dvorak's "D Major" and "Golden Spinning Wheel", so the 40 contestants who came to participate this time chose to play from these two pieces. Originally, what Zheng Weiqiao posted to Qi Mubao was the fourth movement of "Symphony in D Major".
Qi Mu smiled and rolled his eyes, and replied, "Mr. Du, there is no foundation for the previous triple movement. I think the performance of the final chapter is still lacking, so I want to temporarily replace it with the second movement." Seemingly casually glanced at the middle-aged man beside him who was already gnashing his teeth in anger, the smile in his eyes deepened a bit.
Du Sheng took Qi Mu's little gesture into his eyes, then smiled and nodded: "Okay, then you can start playing."
After bowing politely, Qi Mu lifted the violin and gently placed it on his left shoulder. He took a deep breath, and then raised the slender and beautiful bow. The next second, the graceful sound of the violin like a soft feather veil rang out. From the piano hole, it slowly flows out.
The beginning of the song makes people stunned for a moment, feeling that their minds are empty, and they have come to a beautiful fairyland. The fluttering vibrato is handled to the extreme, and with the release of the delicate sound of the violin, people almost forget where they are, and they only feel that their whole body is in a soft warm water, as if stepping on clouds. Peaceful and tranquil.
The second movement of "D major" is considered by many to be the most common section in the whole piece. It is not as exciting and light as the first movement, not as witty as the third movement, and even less exciting than the fourth movement. However, this seemingly gentle and ordinary piece of Adagio seems to have life in Qi Mu's hands, making people feel the peace of the soul.
If the middle-aged man surnamed Lu played well before, and could reach the level of the Huaxia National Grand Theater, then now Qi Mu has played this song, which has surpassed the other party by too much, even in Europe, it is second to none s level.
Especially at the end, the long-lasting charm made the judges in the audience not recover from the music for a while, let alone the other players who were listening.
"I'm done playing, thank you for listening."
The young man's low and pleasant voice brought back everyone's thoughts of flying to the sky. Du Sheng put away the relaxed expression just now and solemnly looked at Qi Mu on the stage.
I saw that under the bright and dazzling spotlight, this handsome young man with a straight face seemed to be able to compete with the sun, especially when he closed his eyes and played the violin just now, as if there was an invisible light shining behind the young man. , making it impossible to see.
Du Sheng thought to himself: If this is the prodigal son Tan often talks about... Then, he is probably not even a prodigal son!
On the side of the stage, the middle-aged man had already blushed angrily.
There is no need for judges to comment at all. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the gap between him and this young man. What he played was only the second movement of "D major", but Qi Mu was already playing the whole piece, including the lightness of the prelude and the humor of the aftertaste. As long as you listen to his performance, you will feel a sense of desire. Desire to listen to the whole song.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man had no face to stay any longer. He immediately flung his sleeves away in embarrassment.
Qi Mu naturally caught sight of the middle-aged man's departure, and he slightly raised his lips and smiled, but didn't say much.
On the jury's seat, Mr. Tan Zhenghui, the chief conductor of the B City Symphony Orchestra, who was sitting in the center, looked at Qi Mu with complicated eyes for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, and slowly loosened the fingers he had been clenching.
Tan Laodao: "The performance is excellent, you can go down and wait for the result."
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Qi Mu was also stunned for a moment, then smiled, bowed politely, and turned to leave.
Du Sheng looked at Qi Mu's tall and handsome back, frowned suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Old Tan, why don't you give Qi Mu a comment and just let him leave? Isn't this... not in line with the rules?"
Unexpectedly, Mr. Tan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who sets the rules?"
Du Sheng was stunned for a moment, then replied, "You decide."
"Oh, then the rules have changed now, I'm fine."
"… "
OK, OK, the orchestra you conduct, do whatever you want!
------
Outside the door of the small theater, Zheng Weiqiao has been waiting for a while. As soon as he saw Qi Mu appeared, he immediately greeted him, and without saying a word, he quickly comforted: "You haven't touched the violin for many years, and you have only practiced for a few days. This failure is still excusable. You Don't take it to heart, I heard that the B City Symphony Orchestra will start recruiting new members next month, you can try it."
Hearing this, Qi Mu opened his eyes slightly and looked at Zheng Weiqiao with a funny look.
Zheng Weiqiao took Qi Mu's silence as his default, and quickly said: "It's really not possible, there are many friends of teachers in S City, we can also go to S City to develop. There are many teachers' former students in the S City Symphony Orchestra. , Colleague, if you work harder at your level, you will definitely be able to enter the first violin group."
Under the mild and bright sunlight, the young man's black hair was illuminated with a hint of gold. Seeing Qi Mu slightly raised the corners of his lips, a confident smile appeared on Zhang Li's handsome face, and he asked, "Brother Zheng, are you worried... I'll lose the election?"
Zheng Weiqiao was stunned when he heard the words, and subconsciously asked: "Isn't it?" After a pause, he remembered that he couldn't point out this matter directly, so he said euphemistically: "I heard from a friend just now that Mr. Tan didn't let anyone If I give you a review, I will just let you down... Don't take it too seriously. Tan always watched your mother grow up, and he must have his reasons for doing so. Even if you lose this time, you still have a lot of bands to do. to recruit."
Listening to Zheng Weiqiao's words, the smile on Qi Mu's lips became even brighter. He raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the clouds in the blue sky that were illuminated by the sun with golden edges, and suddenly asked, "Brother Zheng, City B Symphony Orchestra... what kind of orchestra is it?"
Zheng Weiqiao was stunned for a while, and replied: "In China, it is already the number one top band."
"Then... what have you to worry about?"
Zheng Weiqiao frowned incomprehensibly, only to hear Qi Mu say again: "If it doesn't choose me, then... the B City Symphony Orchestra is nothing more than that."
There was a hint of a smile in the young man's calm and calm voice, but Zheng Weiqiao was stunned in place. He stared blankly at Qi Mu carrying his violin case forward, as if he suddenly remembered the person who was behind him halfway through, and then smiled and told him to follow quickly.
In the blankness of his brain, Zheng Weiqiao suddenly felt that he might have seen an illusion.
He had never seen such a confident Qi Mu, with a resolutely arrogant vibe of a king, as if he was not in China, where the music scene was rising, but in Europe, where a behemoth stood.
An inexplicable thought popped into his mind—
This person should stand on the stage of the Golden Hall, let the Berlin Philharmonic be his accompaniment, and show the world the infinite charm of symphony with him! But there is almost no such existence in the world...
Do not!
There really is one!
In the beginning, Min Chen made the Berlin Philharmonic as his accompaniment, making a sensation in the world and earning the title of the king of pianos under his banner.
Thinking of this, Zheng Weiqiao's heart suddenly surged with an urge. This is the blood that he has never felt since he turned 30 years old. how far to go.
In the evening in City B, the streets were already very congested. The vast and boundless sky is full of sunset glow that has been dyed red by the setting sun, sweeping the entire city like a burning cloud, causing many passersby to stop and admire.
The sun in the east has begun to burn.
The West, on the other hand, is completely ignorant.
