Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 822 81. Suspicions abound and the starry sky is set up

"No."

Ang Lee doesn't have time to play detective games with Fang Zheng. What could be the problem here?
Normally, soloists don't always wait for the conductor to finish arranging the orchestra before going to the venue. This is only reasonable.

Besides, Fang Yongbo personally sent him an invitation, so what could be wrong with it? If there was any problem, Fang Yongbo would definitely have told him early on.

"That's right." Fang Zheng thought for a while, "How about I ask her."

Li An: "No, there's nothing to ask. No one told us to wait."

After a while, "Then we will meet directly at the arena at eight o'clock on Saturday night."

Fang Zheng sneered: "Hmph, be prepared to stand still, mortal."
-
The speaker has no intention, but the listener still has the intention.

It's almost November, and it's almost time to announce the program no matter how small the concert is.

After dinner, Li An still called Qi Guojuan.

Finally, I casually asked the other party who was rehearsing recently.

Thanks to Lao Wei's care, the mission is accomplished.

Qi Guojuan: "My lumbar intervertebral disc has been vomited. It's an old problem. I'll probably have to rest until the beginning of next year."

"I don't know, is there something wrong with his body?"

Xiaoche: "Well! Happy weekend, teacher!"

Qi Guojuan: "Yeah, Brother An, please do your work first."

Since he didn't continue to ask questions at that time, why should he worry about it now.

He waved his hand from afar, very lively.

The teacher and student walked all the way to the entrance of Shipo Middle School. Before parting, the teacher politely told the teacher to have a good meal while she was away.

Because I won’t be back in the afternoon, I took a small bag with me before going to school.

Indeed, this Brahms performance was of great significance to him, and he spent time and energy on it, but even if for some reason he missed the performance in the end, so what.

Li Anren was stupid. Wouldn't the concert be over by then?
what's the situation?
Even if Fang Yongbo is not referring to Brahms, do we still have to tell him in advance?
Suddenly Li An thought of something that he didn't delve into at the time, his face.

This sentence really needs to be reinforced repeatedly.

Li An hung up the phone and immediately walked to the study door to knock on the door.

In the end, Li An gave up looking for something in the study and went to the kitchen to light a cigarette.

He has enough on his plate right now.
-
The next morning Ang Lee completed the finishing work of the fourth movement.

"Roger it." Ang Lee also warned, "Remember to take a new two-inch photo with a blue background on the weekend and keep the electronic version."

"What has Brother Bo been busy with lately?" So he asked again.

Ang Lee was not surprised by this answer. As Fang Yongbo's deputy, isn't it what Kong Chao has to do to set up airs?

After taking a puff of the cigarette, he calmed down a lot.

It wasn't the smoke that calmed him down, it was just that the energy just now had passed.

The car sputtered towards the school gate. When it was approaching the school gate, it suddenly braked and turned around, and found that the teacher had not left yet.

To take a step back, whether he plays Brahms or not has almost no impact on his life. If he doesn't play it, he will definitely have time to go to Song Kang at the end of the year.

At most, I need to explain it to some people around me.

Furthermore, the performance was still the same as before. Since Fang Yongbo didn't say anything to him, there was a natural reason not to tell him. He could just settle down and do what he was doing at the moment.

"Take leave to go home and recuperate?"

After that, he was still a contracted pianist in Rongai, and he always signed an agreement for ten performances next year.

And he didn't need to read the contract. It was clearly written in black and white. The ten concerts at the signing site did not include Ramsay's concert.

On the phone, he first praised Zhang Miao severely.

At that time, he regretted asking the manager more questions.

In the study room, Xiao Che is practicing two sections of sentences repeatedly. Usually at this time, Xiao Che is consolidating difficult points.

"Kong Chao." Qi Guojuan seemed surprised by Li An's question on the phone.

"Brother An." Qi Guojuan called on the phone.

Qi Guojuan was even more surprised this time. Is there anyone in Rongai who doesn't know that Brother Bo took leave to recuperate some time ago?

Early next year?

He remembered clearly that at that time, Manager Xiang only said one thing to him: This is a private matter between you and Commander Fang.

Noon and the cart destroyed all the remaining fruits.

Li An came back to his senses: "There's a call, let's talk about it later,"

Ang Lee responded with a smile: "Have a nice weekend."

Just when his knuckles were about to hit the door panel, he stopped.

Li An added another big question mark in his heart, he didn't know.

Li An also waved and watched the car enter the campus. He then went to the scholar.

This afternoon's task is to set the stage.
-
We met Zhou Song and others at the school gate at 2:15, and after greeting them all the way to the concert hall, everyone started working.

Regarding the idea of ​​this show, Ang Lee has already explained to everyone, and the rest of the work depends on everyone.

Professional matters must be left to professionals.

As an experienced professional lighting engineer, Zhou Song gave a pertinent comment after checking all the stage facilities: luxury.

In Zhou Song's opinion, it would be a waste to place such a complete concert hall on the campus of a primary and secondary school, even if the school is full of scholars.

In view of such a waste of stage, he gave two sets of stage division plans for Ang Lee's reference.

The first set of plans, panoramic stage.

Advantages: It can give full play to the advantages of the venue, and when the time comes, all kinds of lighting effects will be fully turned on, which will not be inferior to that of large-scale programs.

Disadvantages: Lack of stage power.

The second plan——

"Wait a minute," Ang Lee interrupted, "What does insufficient stage power mean?"

Zhou Song: “Because the panoramic stage layout will enlarge every area on the stage, the audience will easily lose focus.”

Ang Lee: "That won't work. We are not holding a party. We don't need such a grand stage. The focus is to create local parts."

Zhou Song: "Then the second plan, the X-shaped stage."

The X-shaped stage was initially used for various press conferences, and later became a common performance stage layout.

The advantage is that the focus of the stage is clear and it is easy to highlight the lighting effect. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to mobilize performers on both sides of the stage for displacement.

When Li An heard this, he immediately decided: "That's it."

The band and the three percussion parts didn't need to move at all during the whole process. There was only one moving point in the whole performance, and that was Qiao Zhizhi.

"Ok."

The plan is clarified and everyone starts work.

Hang up the starry sky curtain first, and then divide the stage area. After a while, the stage will take shape.

At a glance, it already feels like the starry sky at night, but this is just the beginning.

The stage layout is flat, followed by three-dimensional construction.

According to Ang Lee's requirements, each area received a different stage height.

In order for the audience in the audience to have a clear view of the overall effect of the actors' costumes, high and low stages must be built.

The high and low platforms are easy to set up, and there are spare platforms in the background.

But halfway through the installation, a new problem appeared.

In order to create a layered sense of the starry sky, the high platform area is up to two meters high. What about safety issues?
You must know that the performers are a group of children, not adults. Compared with the safety of children, the exhibition week is naturally an extremely small matter.

"Add some protection?" Someone suggested

Zhou Song: "The combination platform cannot be protected."

Everyone looked at Li An. After all, they were just here to help. In the end, it all depends on what Li An wants.

After a moment, "Forget it."

After thinking about it, Li An decided to give up a certain effect. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of the worst. If something happened, no one could run away.

The highest platform was changed from two meters to half a meter, and everyone started to get busy.

The afternoon passed quickly, and the stage was quietly added and subtracted, and finally took shape.

It was not obvious under the ever-burning lights. After Zhou Song went to the control room and turned off all the lights, leaving only two sets of weak desk lamps, the atmosphere of the night sky stage suddenly emerged.

Li An casually took two pictures and sent them to Chen Xuan and Liu Zhen, "OK!"

With a click, the stage lit up again.

Regarding the placement of lighting, Zhou Song had to make a fixed plan based on the actual performances of the actors.

Today's work is over. Zhou Song can just come over by himself for rehearsal tomorrow.

Then the group packed up and headed to Blue Whale for a feast.

Although it was just friends helping each other, Ang Lee couldn't take it seriously.

He doesn't mention money, just treating everyone to a good meal is all he wants.

Song Sheng also sent two bottles of red wine to the room and served everyone personally. It can be said that he helped Li An with all the scene work.

Everyone here is a group of brothers from Fu Tianming's wedding. Logically speaking, Fu Tianming should be present at tonight's weekend dinner, but there are too many things to do before the wedding. Fu Tianming can only regret his absence.

Song Sheng had already called for a driver in advance, and after dinner, Li An walked several people to the door and got into the car.

"Brothers, please slow down and let us know in the family group."

After seeing off a group of people, this stage arrangement is considered higher than the stage. If you know how to do it, Ang Lee can handle it next time with his own people.

Just wait until Zhou Song decides on the lighting position tomorrow.

Back in the store, Li An had two more drinks with Song Sheng, and Liang Zi's old waiter friends also came over to say hello to Li An.

When Ma Fei got off work, he immediately ran up to the second floor.

"Brother, Brother Song."

"You brothers, let's talk. I'll go down and take a look around." Song Sheng already knew that Li An came to see Ma Fei today for something.

Ang Lee didn't have anything special to ask Ma Fei, he just wanted a track list.

Li An had never done any wedding work before, so the songs Fu Tianming listed for him were enough to play for a short half, except for the opening. He really didn't know what to play later.

It's not appropriate to play some of the songs he used to play in Blue Whale.

He needs some elegant pieces, and Ma Fei played them very well tonight.

Ma Fei thought that Senior Brother had something to do with him, "Senior Brother, please wait a moment."

After a while, Ma Fei came back with a tablet computer. Page after page was full of track catalogues, which made Li An dazzled.

In the end, Ang Lee asked Ma Fei to help him choose an hour's worth of music, "The music shouldn't be too long, and the major and minor keys should be separated, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand," Ma Fei knew what senior brother wanted. "Brother, when you get back tonight, I will help you select the music. Should the score be sent to your email or sent directly via WeChat?"

Li An: "Just send it to my email."
-
Ma Fei's efficiency was quite high. Not long after Li An took a taxi home, he received Ma Fei's email.

The tracks correspond to numbers, and the title of each track not only comes with a key signature, but also prompts vocabulary, such as sentimental, bright, space, joy, etc. The matching tonality makes people feel clear at a glance.

81,000: Perfect, worthy of being Teacher Da Fei
Teacher Da Fei: Hahaha, senior brother, if you need something, just send me a message directly.

After receiving Ma Fei's music score, Li An changed hands and sent it to Xiao Che.

The car replied instantly: Teacher!

Li An said "Hey, he's actually playing with his phone?"

So a quick editor asked: How are you online?

Xiaoche: It’s too late, teacher, I can’t practice the piano!
Li Anxin said that's not what I meant, but it was hard for him to ask Xiaoche what he was doing with his mobile phone.

At this moment, Xiaoche’s message came again: “Teacher!!! So many music scores!! Thank you, teacher!!”

Li Anle continued to edit quickly, "This is not for you to play." Halfway through editing, he deleted and re-edited, "You can save it on your tablet first. You can practice again when I let you practice." '

Xiaoche: Good teacher! ! I'm going to get it now!

Bawanyi: Wait, just follow the order I sent you. Don’t mess up the order.

Xiaoche: Got it!
Wouldn't this save trouble? Li An thought it would be great to take the car's flatbed to the wedding venue.
-
Several children in the group are chatting hotly. It is a big event in their piano learning career that they will not have piano lessons tomorrow.

While Wang Xiaohu was chatting with everyone in the group, he was chatting privately with Che Lin, but suddenly Che Lin disappeared.

It was already half an hour later when Che Lin replied to him.

Xiaoche: I wish you good luck in rehearsing tomorrow.

Wang Xiaohu: Hehe, next time you have a chance, you and the teacher can come and watch our rehearsal.

Xiaoche: Well, good night!
Wang Xiaohu: Good night, good night!

Tonight, Wang Xiaohu and Che Lin talked about the rehearsal on Wednesday afternoon and asked Che Lin if she would go to Shuren tomorrow.

Xiaoche actually wanted to take a look, but she had to practice the piano, and the teacher also assigned her a task.

Maybe next time I have a chance, Xiaoche thought and said good night to everyone in the group. Finally, he privately sent a long message to Xiaobei, then turned off the phone and went to sleep.
-
The first thing Li An did when he woke up on Saturday morning was check his phone, and then he replied to Chen Xuan's message. He fell asleep while they were chatting last night.

Then I washed and changed my clothes, and left home full of energy.

At eight o'clock sharp, he arrived at the Shuren Concert Hall an hour early.

As soon as I walked into the concert hall, the stage in front of me seemed even cooler than when I left yesterday.

He was sure that this was not a psychological effect on his part, because there was no light at all in the concert hall at the moment, and from a distance, the exquisite wall covering on the stage was just the night sky.

There is no school bus today. Last night Li An told everyone in the group that he would reimburse the taxi fare, but no one paid any attention to him.

According to everyone's discussion, Zheng Haitao drove to pick up Zhang Miao and Liu Zhaocheng early in the morning, and Xu Hongxin went to pick up Wang Wenyang and Liang Yudan.

At half past eight, the two cars met at the school gate.

Later, parents who came to see their children off also arrived at the school one after another.

According to the list of rehearsal personnel provided by Teacher Mu, Liang Yudan, Zhang Miao and Liu Zhaocheng were at the school gate to pick up the children against the list.

Xu Hongxin, Zheng Haitao and Wang Wenyang went to the percussion classroom in the complex building to get props.

At 8:50, the school gate was already buzzing with chatter. Different from Wednesday’s rehearsal, today’s rehearsal had more of a weekend autumn outing feel.

The children took off their school uniforms and put on their favorite clothes. Their bags contained mobile phones and various snacks.

Wang Xiaohu, Qiao Zhizhi and several senior children were getting together to discuss this matter. At this time, a strange man appeared outside the school gate, and the scene became quiet.

Liu Zhaocheng hurriedly walked over: "Good morning, Teacher Zhou."

With the arrival of Zhou Song, all members have gathered, and today's rehearsal will officially begin.

The teachers and students walked towards the concert hall under the rising sun. From a distance, they saw a familiar figure standing at the door of the concert hall with hands behind his back.

Qiao Zhizhi: "The teacher is so handsome."

Wang Xiaohu: "I admit this."

Qiao Zhizhi: "Does it have anything to do with you?"

Wang Xiaohu: "I'm handsome too."

Qiao Zhizhi: "."
