Although he was invited by Professor Akkad, Qi Mu did not leave for Paris immediately.
First, it is because the National Conservatoire National de la Conservatory of Music is still preparing for the formalities. After all, Professor Akade suddenly wants to accept a non-staff student. Although it is only a symbolic internal examination at most, it also takes a certain amount of time to prepare; second This is the first performance of the B City Symphony Orchestra this year, and Qi Mu, as the principal, cannot be absent.
When Qi Mu had officially confirmed that the concert was over and he was about to leave the B City Symphony Orchestra, none of the members of the orchestra felt sad, but held a celebratory dinner for Qi Mu with great joy: congratulations to him for being able to study in Paris, To be able to get such an excellent teacher as Reed Akkad.
After that, Mr. Tan also officially confirmed the specific time and place of the performance.
This is the first time that Qi Mu has officially attended a concert as the orchestra's chief. In such a concert, he is no longer a specially invited violinist, nor is he an ordinary member of the violin group. It is the principal violin who leads the entire first violin group and even the entire orchestra.
In the last half month of intense rehearsal, I wonder if it was because Qi Mu was about to leave, all the orchestra members devoted themselves to the practice more seriously than usual, as if they wanted to leave behind the mascot of their own orchestra. The last grand perfect show.
Everyone seemed very happy and harmonious, but on the day before the end of the rehearsal and the concert was about to start, I don't know who first said, "I will practice the piano well in Paris after Xiaoqi", and finally someone couldn't help choking. Wiped away tears.
In general, it is the female members of the band who are too emotional. A few girls even gave Qi Mu their own handmade cookies as a goodbye gift, and some elderly uncles and aunts have long since regarded Qi Mu as a goodbye gift. Twilight saw her own child.
Qi Mu is the youngest member of the B City Symphony Orchestra. Although he has always been very mature and decent, none of them have forgotten that this is just a child.
So after the rehearsal, everyone met again and got together again. When the party ended and separated, the members all smiled and patted Qi Mu on the shoulder, asking him to do his best. It wasn't until Qi Mu got into Du Sheng's car and left first that they wiped the water from the corners of their eyes, thinking it was sand blown into their eyes.
After getting along for half a year, these people have long been accustomed to this polite and humble young man. This good-looking child not only has great playing skills, but also is very ceremonial and observant, so people have to like it.
Not only are they sad that they may rarely see each other in the future, but they are also worried...
Such a child has no relatives in a distant foreign country, and he does not know if he will be bullied.
"Who dares to bully our little seven, let him try it!"
"Yes! I have several old friends in Paris, dare to bully Xiao Qi and ask us first!"
…
Qi Mu didn't hear these words, but looking through the rearview mirror of the car, he found that some of the members who were still laughing just now started to wipe their tears. Qi Muqing's brows furrowed slightly, he let out a long sigh, but had nothing to say.
On the other hand, Du Sheng glanced at him with a smile, and then said, "Xiao Qi, those guys really use you as a mascot. When you come back to China in the future, you can come to our band to see more."
Hearing this, Qi Mu looked at Du Sheng and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Brother Du, I will definitely come back to see you more often."
Du Sheng didn't want to bring up those separate topics, he joked: "Is there any specialty in Paris? It's probably not delicious, Xiao Qi, you can cook yourself, right? Don't feel wronged there, stew more. Order pig trotters to eat, make up your face, and you may not be able to adapt to the wind and sand in our big city."
Hearing this, Qi Mu really didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yes, yes, I will definitely try my best to cook more... Cough, pig's trotters."
The two laughed and said a few words, Qi Mu's apartment was really close to the orchestra, and there was no traffic jam on the road today, and the car soon arrived at Qi Mu's downstairs. After Qi Mu took his piano case from the back seat of the car, he just walked a few steps in the direction of the corridor when he heard a long sigh behind him.
Qi Mu's footsteps stopped for a while. After a long time, he still turned around and waved to Du Sheng with a smile, and said, "Brother Du, you should go back quickly. It's getting late, so don't worry your family."
Du Sheng was still smiling, and he was a little sad. He nodded and agreed, but when Qi Mu was about to turn his head again, he couldn't help shouting, "Xiao Qi..."
Qi Mu turned his head to look, only to see Du Sheng looking at him calmly.
Du Sheng looked at Qi Mu up and down with serious eyes, and finally said: "Xiao Qi... You have to take good care of yourself in Paris. If you have something to tell Brother Du and Mr. Tan, don't wrong yourself. Our entire B City Symphony Orchestra is your backing."
Such words are too heartwarming, Qi Mu clenched his fingers, feeling that he had a lot to say. But all the language is close to the mouth, but I don't know how to say it. In the end, he could only show a bright smile as a thank you to the big brother who has always taken care of him.
It is Qi Mu's honor to be in such an orchestra, and it is also a wonderful memory that he will never forget in his life.
Perhaps only a group of people who really love music can have such an open-mindedness, everyone gets along in harmony, and no one wants to climb up by despicable means.
In fact, in the classical music industry, there are a few villains like Luo Yusen who just want to go further, but never think about improving their strength
The answer is, after all, a minority.
This evening, Qi Mu began to clean up the things in his house.
When he rented this single apartment, he only paid half a year's rent. He didn't think much about it at first, but just signed the contract according to the landlord's plan, but he didn't expect that he really only lived here for half a year.
Because the day after tomorrow, I have to fly to Paris and attend the concert tomorrow, so today Qi Mu has helped the landlord to cover all the things in the house with white cloth to prevent dust from falling. In fact, there are not many things he wants to take away, and a big box can solve it directly.
The most important thing is his violin, which needs to be well protected.
When most of the furniture in the room was covered with a white cloth, Qi Mu stared blankly at this familiar and unfamiliar home, and suddenly felt a trace of reluctance.
He lived here for half a year, practicing every day in the piano room and cooking in the kitchen every day. I usually don't feel anything when I'm here, but when it's time to leave, I feel a little reluctant to leave.
Qi Mu walked to the balcony. Winter nights are really not warm enough. He looked at the black hole in the house next door. the number of your neighbor.
At this moment, Berlin, which is half a world away, is the afternoon. In the rehearsal hall of the Berlin Philharmonic, everyone is coordinating with the members of their respective instrument groups under the guidance of the chief violinist.
For large orchestras, they generally have many conductors, divided into chief permanent conductors, guest conductors, etc.
Of course, even if there is more than one conductor, these masters do not always have time to participate in the rehearsal of the orchestra. Therefore, whenever this time comes, the principal violin, or the assistant principal or deputy principal of the orchestra can take the place of the conductor and conduct the orchestra for rehearsal.
It is true that apart from the lack of time, there are conductors like Min Chen who do not personally rehearse the orchestra unless necessary.
According to Daniel's translation, this is because the guy is just too lazy.
According to Min Chen's official statement, he believes that each member of the orchestra has a different style. Although they will play together in the end, it is the most correct to let them develop freely in the early stage.
Of course, whatever the reason, the Bertram conductor doesn't get into every rehearsal — which is really good news — for every member of Bertram.
You can imagine that this guy with great ear can suddenly stop the whole orchestra in one second, walk directly to your side, and tell you with a blank face: "Even this simple sound is gone. Now, did you leave your IQ at home and didn't bring it out?"
In other words, half a beat before you even noticed it, this great conductor threw the baton directly on the score, looked at you in front of the whole orchestra, and asked calmly, "Are you? Are you in a hurry to go home and drink the lamb soup that your mother cooked for you?"
When not holding the baton, the great Mr. Bertram was an elegant gentleman. But once he took up the conductor who symbolized the supreme power of the orchestra, God, he was a devil! ! !
- Words out all the members of Bo Ai.
Of course, although Min Chen would not go on stage to conduct rehearsal in person every time, he would often sit under the stage and look at the members on stage calmly.
This also made their experienced musicians nervous, for fear that they would accidentally let the devil-like conductor hear something wrong.
But today, they had only rehearsed for the second time, and the sharp-eyed members found out—
Mr. Bertram went out with his cell phone! ! !
OMG!
Which little angel actually called out the devil? ! ! !
At this time, just as Min Chen pushed open the door of the rehearsal room, he answered this call from the other side of the world: "Qi Mu?"
On the phone came Qingqing's pleasant voice: "Min Chen, it's been a long time, it's still the afternoon when you're there, right?"
Walking in the empty corridor, Min Chen nodded lightly and replied, "Well, it's three o'clock in the afternoon." After a pause, he seemed to remember something, and Min Chen asked, "It's already ten o'clock, so Call me late... what's the matter?"
