Chapter 352 Sudden! The conductor fell ill
Wan Qian was confused, Hongliu was confused, and Song and Ming were also confused.
"No, wait a minute, what do you want to try?"
Xu Nuo said solemnly: "Mr. Cao can't direct, but it's a pity that this show won't be on today. I want to replace Cao The old man conducts. "
Wan Qian said without thinking, "Are you kidding me? Have you ever studied conducting? Who can take the place of Mr. Cao in the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra?"
"Xiao Xu, it's a good thing that you want the program to be broadcast normally, but as far as I know, the Magic City Symphony Orchestra is arrogant. Even the famous conductors in China, they don't look down on you as a conductor. , they won’t listen at all.” Song Ming also tried to persuade him.
He has dealt with the Magic City Symphony Orchestra several times, and he knows very well that this orchestra has a transcendent status and only talks about music. Most people will not give it any face at all.
"I have studied conducting, and I am confident that I can conduct well."
Hongliu looked at him blankly, "Why do you know everything?"
"I want to try Try." Xu Nuo said firmly.
If this song cannot be used at the Mid-Autumn Festival Party, it may be the biggest regret of the Mid-Autumn Festival Party.
None of the three knew how to be a conductor, so they could only go back to Cao Xiu to explain their purpose.
Cao Xiu opened his eyes, "Promise, right? Do you want to conduct the Magic City Symphony Orchestra?"
"Old man, I want to give it a try."
Cao Xiu said weakly : "You have to know that to be a conductor, it is not enough to be able to compose and know some musical instruments. You must have..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Nuo replied: "A conductor must have absolute pitch and be able to accurately judge every note. The conductor himself is the tuner."
Cao Xiu took a breath and nodded. Said: "Yes, in a team of hundreds of people, you have to know who made a mistake at the first time, which is difficult."
Xu Nuo squatted down, "I know, I am confident in this."
>
Cao Xiu glanced at him in surprise, "Do you have absolute pitch?"
"Yes."
Cao Xiu nodded, "As expected of the youngest composer master, do you know how to be a conductor?"
The master did not directly ask him to be a conductor, but continued to ask questions, which was equivalent to a test. .
Xu Nuo also saw this, and he continued: "Absolute pitch is the first step. The second point for a conductor is that he must be proficient in an instrument, preferably the piano, because the piano can help the conductor I can completely build the structure of the whole piece. My piano skills are not that of a master, but I can still reach a professional level."
"What else?" Cao Xiu continued to ask.
“The third point is that a conductor needs to have a strong inner hearing. To put it simply, after getting the music score, he can immediately build a sound building in his heart and predict the effect of the performance of the work in advance. And design the music processing plan in advance and arrange the relationship between the various parts.”
"A conductor also needs to have a strong memory. Some symphonies are as long as an hour. A great conductor conducts the whole process by memorizing the score. The conductor needs to have a prediction of the music that will follow. The gestures are given in advance. Even if they can't Recite the entire score without missing a beat, and at least be clear about every part of the piece."
Xu promised to answer fluently and explain the conductor's requirements clearly.
Song Ming and others were confused, weren't they? How could you, a composer, even talk about the conductor's work so clearly?
They didn’t understand the conductor, so they just listened blankly.
At this time, Cao Xiu was already a little dubious. Xu Nuo was a composing genius. He had naturally heard of it. He had provided the music score for "Shanghai Beach" before and also provided them with a lot of ideas.
In the circle of conductors, it is not that there are no geniuses who have transformed from composers into conductors.
But he still hesitated.
Xu Nuo saw his hesitation and said sincerely: "Mr. Cao, I want to give it a try."
Cao Xiu was still thinking, but the band leader Du Tao was not happy.
"Theoretically, you know a lot, but conducting an orchestra is far from as simple as you think. I have been doing it for so many years, but I haven't learned half of the old man's level. I am not qualified to be a conductor now." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Du Tao's words.
In the past, the conductor of a symphony orchestra was usually the band leader, who was Du Tao.
This time the old man was not feeling well, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to take command, but the old man always disagreed.
He could understand if he disagreed, but Xu Nuo suddenly came out and said that he would be in charge, which made him unbearable.
Cao Xiu was still thinking with his eyes closed.
Xu Nuo said: "Old man, I wrote this piece. I know the rhythm of every place. And the piece is very short, only more than three minutes. If you don't believe it, I can conduct it. Let you see it once.”
Generally, symphony pieces are very long, starting at 20 minutes, but this piece is only over three minutes, so a temporary rehearsal will not waste too much time.
Cao Xiu opened his eyes, his voice a little tired, "Then give it a try."
"Teacher!" Du Tao was anxious.
Cao Xiu raised his hand, "No need to say more, we will cooperate fully."
Du Tao was helpless and glared at Xunuo with dissatisfaction.
The doctor brought a wheelchair and pushed Cao Xiu to the rehearsal area.
Du Tao called the orchestra together and said, "Conductor Cao is feeling unwell. Our composer has promised to be the conductor in his place. Please cooperate with us."
The words "composer" were particularly emphatic. , not without the intention of ridicule.
The hundreds of people in the symphony orchestra were in an uproar.
The Magic City Symphony Orchestra is not just a cat or a dog. There are few orchestras in the entire world that can surpass them.
Mr. Cao Xiu is the Dinghai Shenzhen, and occasionally other famous conductors will conduct them, but who are they?
They are all recognized as famous conductors, what does a promise mean?
Some people expressed dissatisfaction at that time.
Du Tao had a look on his face, glanced at Xu Nuo and said nothing.
Cao Xiu raised his hand and wanted to speak, but he coughed.
"Teacher, are you okay?"
Cao Xiu's voice was a little weak, but his tone was firm, "Cooperate with your promise."
Du Tao had no choice but to stand up, "Did you hear that? Everyone. Cooperate well."
Xu Nuo said nothing. It is useless to say anything at this time.
Everyone depends on his ability. Everyone quickly gathered together, hundreds of people gathered in place.
Du Tao raised his hand and said perfunctorily: "Please conduct the stage."
Xu Nuo nodded and took the baton from Mr. Cao Xiu.
Standing on the podium, Xu Nuo took a deep breath.
He is proficient in singing on stage, playing the piano and guitar. He has also been a host, but this is his first time conducting.
But he wasn't worried at all because he was a loser.
He can’t command, but he can cheat.
When he closed his eyes, he secretly called up the system.
One minute, two minutes...
Du Tao was already impatient. When he was about to speak, Xu Nuo opened his eyes.
Promise holds the stick in his right hand and raises his left hand.
Everyone looked at him intently.
The conductor's baton was raised up and then pressed down. After several times in succession, the music began to sound.
Xu Nuo frowned, "The violin slowed down a beat, the clarinet was turned up, don't be dazed! Let's start over."
Du Tao was a little depressed, he just got distracted and saw The gesture was already a beat too slow.
Being reprimanded like this by a young man made him very unhappy, but he couldn't say anything.
If it’s wrong, it’s wrong.
Promise to put away the baton and start over.
This time there was no problem at the beginning, but later on, I don’t know if they did it on purpose or if they didn’t cooperate well. In short, it was a mess.
Xu Nuo couldn't help but glance at Mr. Cao Xiu.
"Criticize as you should." After saying this, the old man rested with his eyes half closed.
Xu Nuo nodded, since the symphony orchestra wanted to test him, don't blame him for swearing.
Xu Nuo put away the baton and started to curse, "What are you doing with the guitar? Didn't you know you danced a bar?"
"And you, the piano danced three bars and you are in a hurry to get off work. "
"The viola is not playing correctly, it's out of tune, do you know?"
"The Magic City Symphony Orchestra, which is famous and known as the number one in the country, is this level? I am very disappointed."
Xu Nuo started to curse, but no one was angry.
They like to hear the title "No. 1 in the country" the most.
Among the domestic symphony orchestras, who is number one? The Philharmonic Orchestra is mentioned the most. The Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra is rarely ranked number one.
This sentence directly dispelled most of the hostility.
Let’s not talk about how good this person is, at least he has a very good vision.
Although they were scolded, everyone was still happy.
This is the art of language.
Du Tao also started to smooth things over, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's mainly because the conductor has just changed and everyone is a little uncomfortable with it."
"Do it again. If it still doesn't work, I'll watch this show It can indeed be cancelled.”
"Don't worry!" Du Tao assured him, patting his chest.
It can be seen from the few moments just now that Xu Nuo does have the ability to command. Whenever he makes a mistake, he will immediately find it. In front of such an expert, there is no need to be clever.
Xu Nuo's face softened slightly and said, "Start again."
This time, the effect was much better.
What’s even more surprising is that Xu Nuo’s command gesture is exactly the same as that of Mr. Cao Xiu!
There are many gestures for conducting. Except for the gestures for tapping, all other gestures are different.
Cao Xiu had opened his eyes with a surprised look on his face.
Xu Nuo walked off the stage, "How is it, old man? Is your performance okay?"
Cao Xiu nodded, "Better than Du Tao."
Du Tao looked embarrassed. .
"Have you seen my performance before?" Cao Xiu couldn't help but ask.
Xu Nuo nodded: "I was interested in the symphony before. I have watched your performances and watched your videos."
Du Tao couldn't help but complain: "Just watching the performance can It’s similar to the teacher’s command. What kind of monster is this?”
Cao Xiu was also stunned for a while, “Are you interested in joining our orchestra?”
Xu Nuo shook his head: “How dare I do this? I am showing my shame in front of you. If you were not feeling well, I would not have had my turn today.”
"Du Tao."
"Here!"
"Cooperate well with Xiao Xu's performance today!"
"Yes!"
Du Tao is also convinced Not only was he able to catch every mistake, but he also had a perfect grasp of the rhythm. He thought it was Cao Xiu himself standing on the stage.
Song Ming, Wan Qian and others were stunned. The Magic City Symphony Orchestra actually recognized the conductor Xu Nuo.
When the news spread, there was another big earthquake.
