Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 242 237. From the auditorium to the stage, [-]% off or [-]% off
When Ang Lee walked into the concert hall, Fu Tianming was on the stage holding the event flow sheet and directing two staff members to adjust the position of the big screen.

At this moment, scattered figures were scattered in the central auditorium area directly opposite the stage.

Looking from a distance, Li An recognized Wei Sanwan and Li Yuan at a glance.

The two were pointing at the stage and frequently chatting sideways.

This forced Li An to speed up his pace. He didn't expect that he arrived 10 minutes earlier or fell behind these two.

"A little further to the left, yes, OK, at this height, I'll go down and have a look."

Fu Tianming turned around and was about to step off the stage, when he saw Li An walking towards the front court quickly.

"The protagonist is here."

Following his reminder, the auditorium couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

Li An naturally had to greet the two big bosses first.

"Hello, Li Yuan."

"teacher."

Li Yuan stood up and greeted Li An, and said kindly: "Sit down and warm up for a while."

This was the first time Li An really saw his dean.

With a plain face facing the sky and in a full state, a light-colored silk scarf was tied around her neck, adding a bit of elegance to it.

The appearance is friendly and majestic, a little less rigid than the figure in his memory, and a little more cordial.

"Then just sit down and move your wrist vigorously. There are so many people waiting for you." Wei Sanwan followed.

At this time, Fu Tianming had already walked over, "Start?"

"Let Ang Lee rest for a while."

"Playing the piano, it has to turn when your hands touch the keys."

As Li Yuan said, he raised his wrist and turned it around twice for everyone to demonstrate, "When you are cold, doing this movement can easily twist your wrist."

"You do not understand."

A slow "You don't understand" made everyone around me laugh.

It can be said that it is the scene of old mothers raising children.

"Okay, that's what the dean said."

Fu Tianming smiled while waving his hands, and looked at Li An, "Sit down and have a rest, and explore with our dean."

Li An took off his coat and sat down.

"Winter vacation is pretty busy."

"Fortunately, there are more classes than usual."

"I heard that you have brought a lot of students now."

"No, no, just eight students."

After chatting briefly with Li Yuan about work, about 5 minutes later, seeing that the time was almost up, Li An took the initiative to ask: "Li Yuan, listen now."

Li Yuan nodded: "Go up and warm up when you're ready."

The official concert scene is a one-shot live broadcast, which cannot be paused and restarted in the middle, and all the details on the field are directly presented in front of the audience.

Therefore, before the official concert begins, repeated rehearsals are required.

During the rehearsal process, many small details and problems that could not be found in the planning process can be found.

Today's task of walking the stage is mainly to listen to the specific sound effect of the piano on the stage.

The stage performance is rooted in the stage, and its final performance depends on the all-round cooperation of lighting, sound, dance and beauty.

For piano concerts, the acoustics are particularly important.

Ang Lee walked up to the stage and sat down under the piano. His thin face was reflected on the dark Steinway D274 piano board.

After about four or five attempts, he adjusted the height of the piano bench until his waist and arms were completely comfortable, and then he raised his hands and started running.

The silky and smooth hands poured out in an instant to the D-flat major scale.

The performance on the stage is serious, and the audience is watching carefully.

From a distance, the whole scene gives people the feeling that a certain piano student is taking the final exam.

At this moment, the older candidates on the stage suddenly stopped.

After running two sets of scales on the piano, Li An's most intuitive feeling is that the stage hearing of this hall is much worse than that of the hall of Huaguo Academy.

Also warming up according to the daily state, sitting on the stage of the Huaguoyuan Concert Hall, he can hear what he is playing more clearly.

But at this moment, he heard that the sound of the piano under his finger was a bit loud.

It is understandable that this hall has been built for some years.

Starting to run again, Li An reduced the force poured into his fingers by about [-]%.

This time the sound from the piano made him sound much more comfortable.

After warming up, he put his hands away.

Shrugging his shoulders, he took a deep breath, and after five seconds he raised his hands again.

The little finger of the index finger of the right hand fell first, and a set of clear and soft thirds sounded.

Instead, the entire concert hall became more and more quiet.

Farewell Sonata.

The first movement -
After Li An officially started playing, Fu Tianming quietly returned to the auditorium.

It was also the first time he heard Ang Lee play the farewell sonata live.

Feel the lift and fall of the other party's fingers intuitively at a close distance, and the tune in the ear seems to have a more substantial sense.

It is very close to the effect he expected, the slight difference is that there are many small air holes missing.

Recently he has been listening to Ang Lee's farewell performance in the third round of the competition. Compared with the performance at this moment, Fu Tianming thinks that Ang Lee has used a method that he cannot describe in words, writing scattered paragraphs into a beautiful arc, occasionally Flip your wrist lightly and take a breath before people notice the charming glance.

If it wasn't for the fact that the overall volume sounded slightly too low, he would give Ang Lee's farewell first movement a full score from a personal perspective.

"Pause."

On the stage, Li An was just about to play the second movement, but the voice of Wei Sanwan from the audience interrupted him.

He withdrew his hands and looked away.

Wei Sanwan had already stood up, "Can you hear me clearly?"

Ang Lee got up and walked to the edge of the stage, "It's just right here for me."

Probably guessing the reason why he was interrupted, he asked: "Does the audience sound a little low?"

Wei Sanwan knew that there were some small problems with the acoustic design of this hall.

This varies from person to person, some players will not be affected by it, while others will feel uncomfortable.

After listening to a round of discussion, everyone unanimously decided to try to move the position of the piano to see if Ang Lee could find the balance of the sound point on the stage.

After half an hour.

"Let's find someone to adjust the acoustic enclosure tomorrow."

Li Yuan decided that there was no need to spend any more time discussing this issue.

The problem now is that when Ang Lee is playing normally, the acoustics on the stage sound just right to him, but the sound from the auditorium sounds a bit low.

If Ang Lee is asked to increase his performance, the auditorium sounds just right, but he sounds too loud on the stage.

Call the staff tomorrow to adjust the stage acoustic enclosure.

"You come over tomorrow, Li An, together with the staff. They will try while adjusting you. We must solve this problem."

The sound problem is indeed a big problem, which is directly related to the success or failure of the whole concert.

The problems in the first round of rehearsal were found, and the solutions came out, and then Li Yuan went on stage to listen to three other works performed by Ang Lee.

Giving some pointers, especially in the handling of the right-hand treble melody line in the second movement of Pathos, Li Yuan suggested that Ang Lee could play it more singably.

"Let's stop here today. I won't be here tomorrow. You should prepare well for these two days. Let's go to the stage again at [-] o'clock in the afternoon on Monday. Many teachers will come over then. Let's listen together and then we will have another Will look into it."

"Alright Li Yuan."
-
After a round of walking, Li An and Fu Tianming had a fast food at the school gate in the evening.

Because it took too much time to study the sound effects, Fu Tianming's design for the front, middle and back stages of the concert was not realized during the stage walk.

During the meal, Fu Tianming gave Li An a general introduction to his design, and Li An thought it was very good.

"As long as Li Yuan agrees."

"She's already nodding."

After the meal, Fu Tianming took Li An back to the west gate of the Wanhe Mansion against his will, and the two agreed to meet at the concert hall at [-] o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

"Let's go, pay attention to safety on the road."
-
When Li An got home, he took a shower and mastered the first movement of Moonlight, and Chen Xuan came back.

"What's so good?"

Seeing Chen Xuan's happy face, Li An stood up and asked.

Chen Xuan hung the bag on the wall hook, "Guess." As she said bending over to unfasten her boots and change her shoes, she couldn't help sighing that today is really a bumper harvest day.

"Harvest?"

Li An Yipin joked, "A few new students will be a big harvest?"

Chen Xuan snorted, "What's the matter, can't it just be one?"

Li An was happy: "Is it because the child doesn't have an instrument yet?"

Chen Xuan: "You are the only one who is smart."

The two returned to the bedroom and sat down. Chen Xuan quickly took out her mobile phone and began to check the prices of musical instruments.

While checking, tell Li An what happened tonight.

When Chen Xuan was going to find Ji Yang before leaving get off work, Sun Yuman called her and asked him to bring the flute.

Then after asking, she realized that she was not the only one who went to dinner today, but also an old sister of Grandma Sun.

This old sister came with her granddaughter. This granddaughter is the student Sun Yuman said she would introduce to Chen Xuan.

Because of the foreshadowing made by grandma, when the old sister saw Chen Xuan's elegant and generous temperament, she saw it right at the time, and she decided in her heart that she would make her granddaughter learn flute with this teacher in the future, she must be right.

After a meal, Chen Xuan accepted the student.

After the meal, Sun Yuman and Master Zhang Luo also paid homage, so let's try a class at home first.

The little girl was very excited when she heard that, and the older sister also looked at Chen Xuan with great interest.

So Chen Xuan taught the child a lesson.

The child has a good talent, and his finger and mouth conditions are up to standard. In addition, he has learned the violin before and understands music theory. The class went very smoothly.

When the get out of class is over, the child can already blow the little star by himself.

The child is happy, and the older sister is even happier.

On the spot, we talked about class fees and follow-up classes.

Sun Yuman also told Chen Xuan on the way, when the time comes, don't make any noise, just listen to me.

The old sister originally hoped that Chen Xuan could go to class at home, but after Sun Yuman pointed out that the child did not have a sense of urgency to study at home, the mentality was not conducive to learning, and finally the old sister decided to send the child to Chen Xuan's class.

Regarding the class fee, it was finally set at 400 for one session, and one session lasted 45 minutes.

"Originally, Xiao Yu asked me to ask for 600, but I really couldn't say it."

But Chen Xuan didn't regret it after thinking about it. She felt that her class was really not worth 600. If she really wanted 600, she would have a conscience.

Li Ang: "Okay, 400 is not a lot, what do the parents of the child do?"

Chen Xuan: "It seems to be for decoration. I don't know the details. After the child and her grandma left, Xiao Yu told me that the child learned violin for 500 a lesson before, and the teacher didn't graduate from the conservatory of music."

Li An sighed: "The family is rich."

Chen Xuan: "Her grandma directly transferred the class fee for ten lessons to me in the evening, and then asked me to help choose the musical instrument."

Ang Lee: "Ask her if she has a budget?"

Chen Xuan: "She just said that I can just buy the musical instrument I use now."

Li An knew that Chen Xuan left the master's flute at home after returning home on Teacher's Day, and the flute she brought back was the flute she used in high school.

"What brand is your current one, and how much is it?"

Chen Xuan: "I used this one when I was in high school, ***01. It seemed to be around 3 when I bought it. I can't remember."

Li Ang: "How much is the clapper and flute now?"

Chen Xuan pointed the phone screen at Li An, and Li An was stunned.

"Is this the current Taobao price?"

Chen Xuan: "Yes, I have visited several stores, and they all have this price."

Ang Lee: "What about your channel?"

Chen Xuan opened WeChat and found the chat records from 10 minutes ago, and then clicked into an excel sheet, "This is sent to me by one of my senior sisters. She is making these brands now, you can see for yourself."

Li An took the phone. The first column of the form is the type of wind instrument, the second column is the model, the third column is the market guide price, and the fourth column is the price of the product.

The more I looked, the more shocked.

The water in the imported wind music market is also too deep.

Soon he found out the price of the flute that Chen Xuan was currently using.

".This is your current price?"

Chen Xuan nodded, "So what should we do?"

Li An didn't know what to suggest. If it was him, he would probably sell it to the other party at [-]% off the market price.

That's it, enough money.

Chen Xuan: "[-]% off?"

Ang Lee: "You decide for yourself."
-
She said that she let Chen Xuan decide for herself, but in the end Li An helped her decide.

"Just do what I say."

Chen Xuan didn't think too much, "Okay."

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Every industry has gray areas.

Some saints can't do it, and some can't open their mouths.

In the future, the two of them are destined to continue to develop in this circle, and it is inevitable that they will encounter this situation again.

Now that the opening has been opened, what shall we do in the future?

If you open your mouth, what will other teachers do?

"Li An, I want to discuss something with you."

"So serious, say."

"Let's change houses."

"Well—actually, I've considered this issue recently."

Li An has really thought about this issue recently, not because he has a little surplus in his pocket now, but because of the students coming to his home for classes.

The focus of the next work will inevitably shift from Yudong to individuals, not only Chen Xuan now has three students in his hands.

He predicted that he would have a wave of students of his own in the future. During the time he came back from the Yanjing competition, there were already two people around him who asked him whether he would accept students or not.

He wasn't ready because of some personal issues.

For example, how to charge.

300 or 400 or 500 for a class?

He hasn't thought about it yet.

According to his current situation, the pricing work must be considered at the beginning.

Otherwise, there will be trouble later.

Including the class environment is also something he has to consider.

If your own institution can't be opened for the time being, you can only let your children come to study at home.

Obviously, 2501 cannot leave a good impression on the first-time parents and children.

Asking students to spend three to four to five hundred class hours, smelling the kitchen fumes, playing music in front of a gray wool wall, in the dark, it feels bad enough just thinking about it.

"Change."
