This star is wrong

Chapter 276

Wednesday afternoon.

After the rehearsal of the Dongyin No. [-] Symphony Orchestra, Yu Lixia, the conductor of the orchestra and a graduate student of the conducting department, asked Lu Xianger to stay.

"Sister, what's the matter?"

Lu Xiang'er was very tight due to family matters during this period, and she was in a hurry to go home every time after rehearsal.

"Next week's Olympic Opening Ceremony campaign performance, if you don't participate, give someone else the rehearsal opportunity. The school still hopes that we can perform at the opening ceremony." Yu Lixia didn't beat around the bush, and got straight to the point.

A surprised expression appeared on Lu Xianger's face: "I didn't say I wouldn't participate."

Yu Lixia had a slightly weird expression on her face, and asked, "Are you sure you want to participate? If you don't attend then and the orchestra loses the election, you will be responsible."

Lu Xianger nodded seriously and replied, "Of course I'm sure, I definitely want to participate in the show."

Yu Lixia nodded and said, "Let's do it this way. From tomorrow, you will come to rehearse at four o'clock in the afternoon. Before four o'clock, you will rehearse the other main instruments."

Lu Xianger frowned and showed a puzzled expression: "Why? I always start rehearsals at [-]:[-]."

"This is to ensure good results for participating in the exhibition, and each symphony orchestra will have an alternative plan, and the alternative plan also needs to be rehearsed." Yu Lixia replied.

Lu Xiang'er probably guessed what was going on as soon as she heard it.

In the past, she might have accepted submissively, but now she has an extra responsibility in her heart, and she can no longer hide behind her parents like a child.

So, she asked directly: "Are you going to let Chen Wenhan rehearse first?"

Yu Lixia frowned, she didn't expect Lu Xianger to bring this kind of matter to the surface.

Although she didn't admit it, she was indeed planning to increase Chen Wenhan's rehearsal time.

The reason for this is simple.

Chen Wenhan came from a family of musicians, and in the eyes of Dongyin's students, he was an aristocratic son from a high society.

Moreover, the Chen family often sponsors performances by the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra.

In this case, it is normal for the band to favor Chen Wenhan.

If it was a private band, Yu Lixia would not discuss it with Lu Xianger at all, but directly informed Lu Xianger that she would not come to the rehearsal later.

The reason why she didn't do this is because the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra is a school orchestra after all, and it has a record with the Ministry of Education.

Therefore, the affairs of the orchestra are not decided by one person. Even if the Chen family often sponsors the orchestra's performances, they cannot really intervene in the management of the orchestra.

Of course, you can't meddle in the orchestra's affairs on the surface, but there must be a way to influence the orchestra.

Yu Lixia had already heard the news that Lu Xianger's father's company was going bankrupt, so she felt that it would be safer for Chen Wenhan to perform at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games next week.

Seeing that Lu Xiang'er actually made the matter clear, she said in a deep voice, "Lu Xiang'er, I'm thinking about it for the orchestra. Can you guarantee that you can participate in the performance wholeheartedly?"

"I……"

Lu Xianger choked immediately, she wanted to say that she could participate in the performance wholeheartedly, but when she thought about family matters, she said she would not be distracted at all, which was actually a bit against her will.

She's still not good at this kind of communication that doesn't mean what she says, she says what she thinks in her heart.

Yu Lixia said directly: "I didn't completely deprive you of the right to rehearse, but just rehearse the alternative plan. I don't want to make things too harsh. You'd better be more sensible."

Lu Xiang'er felt wronged, her nose was a little sore, she didn't argue with her any more, she turned around and left with the violin on her back.

When she walked out of the teaching building, her eyes were already filled with tears.

The family company encountered a crisis and was squeezed out at school.

Her more than 20 years of life have been going so smoothly, but when she suddenly encountered such a blow, she was a little dazed for a while.

When going out to the door.

Ning Xiaoyun was already waiting outside the door. Seeing her coming out, she went up to meet her and asked, "Finally the rehearsal is over? Let's go, let's go eat something delicious."

When she pulled Lu Xianger's wrist, Ning Xiaoyun saw the tears in Lu Xianger's eyes.

Ning Xiaoyun immediately rolled up her sleeves, stared and said, "What's wrong? Who bullied you? I'll beat him!"

Lu Xianger suddenly stood still, wiped tears with her sleeve, and said angrily: "Why am I crying?!"

"What's wrong?" Ning Xiaoyun's head was full of question marks.

Lu Xiang'er didn't explain to her, turned around and walked into the teaching building.

Ning Xiaoyun hurriedly followed and asked, "What's wrong? Someone really bullied you? Where are we going?"

"Go to the professor."

Lu Xianger went straight up to the eighth floor and found the office of Professor Li Xiuqin, head of Dongyin No. [-] Symphony Orchestra.

Professor Li Xiuqin is the head of the orchestra and also the conductor of the orchestra.

Of course, as Dongyin's professor, she doesn't participate in rehearsals most of the time.

Ordinary performances, do not participate.

Only important performances will be conducted by Professor Li Xiuqin himself.

Usually rehearsals and small performances are conducted by Yu Lixia from the Conducting Department.

In addition, Yu Lixia will also help with many daily affairs of the orchestra, as if she is the deputy head of the orchestra.

Of course, the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra does not have a deputy director.

Lu Xianger knocked on Professor Li Xiuqin's door. Although the tears had been wiped away, she could still tell that she had just experienced mood swings.

When Li Xiuqin saw Lu Xianger come in, she asked, "What's wrong? Isn't school over?"

Lu Xianger didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly, "Professor, don't you want me to participate in the Olympic opening ceremony next week?"

Li Xiuqin was full of doubts and didn't understand what was going on.

As the first Dongyin student to win the Paganini International Violin Competition at the undergraduate level, Lu Xianger can be said to be a treasure of the school.

Among other things, Dongyin's undergraduates can win the Paganini Competition. This legendary honor can raise the reputation of Dongyin's violin major by several ranks.

For such excellent students, the professor's attitude will be much better.

"No. You performed very well in rehearsal, and there is no problem participating in next week's performance." Li Xiuqin replied.

"Sister Yu just informed me that starting tomorrow, I will not be able to participate in rehearsals before four o'clock."

Lu Xianger spoke out with anger.

Moreover, when speaking, I deliberately used a little language art.

If you say "rehearsal after four o'clock", it sounds like you can still rehearse.

To put it another way, "You can't participate in rehearsals before four o'clock", the meaning of the two sentences is actually the same, but the sound effect is completely different.

Li Xiuqin frowned, and said, "Next week's performance is very important, so I should hurry up and practice. I haven't heard of this, so I don't know what's going on. I'll deal with it after I ask someone to clarify it. You guys go back first."

Lu Xiang'er lost her temper, and then said: "I know, Senior Sister Yu wants him to be the main instrument. If he is more capable than me, then I don't care if he plays, but if Chen Wenhan's family sponsors the orchestra to perform, then he will replace me. I voluntarily quit."

Li Xiuqin frowned, and reassured: "There is no such thing, our school's symphony orchestra is not a private group outside, and it is not possible to intervene in the orchestra's affairs with money.

"Don't worry, I will ask about this matter, you go back first, and I will deal with it."

Lu Xianger shed tears, bowed and left the office.

……

Li Xiuqin has been the head of Dongyin No. [-] Symphony Orchestra for so long, so she actually knows the affairs of the orchestra very well.

I know that there are really tricky writing in the orchestra.

However, as long as this kind of thing does not affect the reputation of the school and the orchestra, it will be turned a blind eye.

However, it is very important to participate in the selection and performance of the Olympic opening ceremony this time. If you still do this kind of thing, you will pass the line.

Li Xiuqin thought about it for a while, called Yu Lixia to the office, and gave her a scolding first.

Yu Lixia is not afraid of Professor Li Xiuqin, of course she still has to show respect on the surface.

After listening to Li Xiuqin's lesson, she smiled and said, "Professor, I'm also doing it for next week's show. Something happened to Lu Xianger's family. I wonder if the professor has heard about it?"

Li Xiuqin didn't have time to inquire about the students' family affairs, so she didn't know: "What's the matter?"

Yu Lixia talked about the impending bankruptcy of Lu's company, and then added: "Professor, I am worried that Lu Xiang'er will be distracted during the performance, which will lead to the failure of the competition.

"Participating in the Olympic Opening Ceremony performance is not a matter of one person, it is related to the honor of the school.

"So, I think it's safer to change the main musician.

"Of course, it's up to the professor to decide, and I didn't prohibit Lu Xiang'er from participating in the rehearsal, but just divided the rehearsal time into two parts.

"Before four o'clock, rehearse the alternative plan, and after four o'clock, Lu Xianger will participate in the rehearsal.

"With this arrangement, even if something goes wrong with Lu Xiang'er, there will be someone who can take over."

As the head of the symphony orchestra, Li Xiuqin would naturally not take sides.

From her point of view, it doesn't matter who wins, the key is whether she can win the competition.

Therefore, she was also worried that the affairs of Lu Xiang'er's family would affect the show.

Yu Lixia saw that the professor had loosened up a bit, and continued to add: "How about this, why not let Chen Wenhan and Lu Xianger have a competition, and let the chief of the orchestra vote to decide who will be the main instrument."

After listening, Li Xiuqin nodded and said, "Okay. You can try this method."

……

the next day.

Lu Xiang'er was notified to have a competition with Chen Wenhan in the orchestra's rehearsal room.

Whoever wins will be the lead musician at next week's show.

Lu Xianger did not flinch, and in front of the symphony orchestra, she had a competition with Chen Wenhan, and she performed the first movement of Mozart's Fifth Concerto in A major, including the cadenza.

The performance was wonderful and won a lot of applause.

However, Chen Wenhan himself is not weak, after all, he is also No.3 in the Paganini competition.

If there is no "Skylark", there is actually not much difference between the two violin attainments.

All the principal musicians of the symphony orchestra voted, and the final vote was 16 to 17.

Yu Lixia, as the conductor, voted for Chen Wenhan.

In the end, Lu Xianger lost by one vote.

Although she lost in the number of votes, Lu Xianger just smiled and quit the rehearsal.

Given the influence of Chen Wenhan's family on the symphony orchestra, it only won Yu Lixia's vote, but the result is not that important anymore.

Lu Xianger withdrew from participating in the Olympic opening ceremony, and then concentrated on accepting some performances from Professor Li Xiuqin to earn living expenses.

Although there is no shortage of her living expenses at home, but her father's company has problems, she still hopes to use her own efforts to relieve the pressure on her parents, even if it is only a little bit.

……

Soon to the second week.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games began, and the Dongyin No. [-] Symphony Orchestra with Chen Wenhan as the main instrument participated in the performance.

However, the performance was not very good, and in the end he did not enter the semi-finals, and came back directly after the first round.

Of course, there are many symphony orchestras participating in the Olympic opening ceremony, and most of them are in one round.

Therefore, after a round of swimming, there was no splash.

After Lu Xianger heard about the symphony orchestra's round trip, she just shook her head and smiled, and didn't worry about it.

With so many symphony orchestras competing for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, it is not surprising that they failed to stand out.

Besides, Lu Xianger felt that even if she went to participate in the performance, it might not be able to change the result.

……

After the "Let's Sing" finals, Fang Xing wanted to ask Lu Xianger out several times, but Lu Xianger said that she was very busy and had no time.

One day when I met Ning Xiaoyun in the community, I heard from Ning Xiaoyun that Lu Xianger did not participate in the Olympic opening ceremony.

That night, Fang Xing ran to Lu Xianger's house and knocked on her window, intending to coax her.

dong dong dong...

The windows on the second floor rang a few times.

Lu Xiang'er walked to the window and opened it to have a look.

Fang Xing was standing under the window, holding a violin in his hand, looking at her with a smile.

"What?"

Lu Xianger was very happy, but she was in a bad mood recently and was really busy, so she hadn't seen her for several days.

"I heard that you were kicked out of the Olympic performance, so I came here to coax you." Fang Xing said solemnly.

Lu Xianger's mentality was very stable, and she replied: "It's not counted as being kicked, and there is no competition in the team."

"Look, without your symphony orchestra, it's really a round trip, right?" Fang Xing showed a gloating expression.

Although Lu Xianger feels that it is not good to gloat now, after all, it is the symphony orchestra of her alma mater, and a round of lobbying is not very pleasant.

However, she was still very rational in her heart, she shook her head and said, "Even if you pay me back, it might be a round trip."

Fang Xing grinned and said, "However, if you add me, it won't be a round trip."

Lu Xiang'er raised her eyebrows, not understanding what it meant.

Fang Xing set up the violin and played a tune with his eyes open.

Lu Xianger listened quietly at first, and the more she listened, the more she liked it, and finally raised her eyebrows like notes: "What song is this? It sounds so good."

Fang Xing thought for a while and said, "I'm thinking about using this song to take you to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Do you think it's okay?"

Lu Xiang'er frowned and thought for a while, then said, "The song is really nice, but do you really want it for the Olympic opening ceremony?"

It's not that if the song sounds good, it will definitely be able to perform at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, so Lu Xiang'er is not sure.
