Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 827 86. Calm bad news

Qi returned to Qi, Qi Guojuan felt angry for what happened to her friend.

But she doesn’t bring her personal emotions to work.

Taking rehearsal seriously is the basic professional quality of a professional musician.

Tonight's rehearsal was generally smooth, and both the orchestra and Nikita were well prepared.

Especially Nikita's performance is indeed that of a first-class pianist.

The Russians have pure blood, solid skills, and distinctive playing styles. Although they are famous for playing the works of Russian composers such as Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, they are also very good at handling traditional German and Austrian works. Insightful.

Nikita's Boer always maintains emotional stability and smooth musical lines, and is able to lead the orchestra forward, elegantly and optimistically.

Rehearsal is work, and Qi Guojuan carefully handles every part of the timpani.

However, Qi Guojuan had a clear attitude towards Kong Chao's "calling" for everyone to have dinner together after the rehearsal.

Refuse.

Originally, weekend rehearsals would count as overtime, but now I want my mother to finish working overtime before attending these meaningless social events.

dream.

Is there overtime pay?

As soon as the rehearsal ended, Qi Guojuan packed up her drumsticks and prepared to leave.

"Sister Grasshopper."

The boy with a crew cut on the side pretended to pack his clothes, leaned closer to Qi Guojuan, and then asked in a low voice, "You really don't want to go?"

The boy with a flat head is a new recruit who just joined the group in the fall. He was born in 97. Originally, he had nothing to do tonight. Bo Er didn’t have his voice, so he took the initiative to learn from his experience.

As soon as he joined the group, he caught up with the big songs like Lao Chai and Bo Er. As a motivated little boy, of course he couldn't miss the opportunity to watch the big sister rehearsing up close.

But he is motivated by self-motivation. The boy with the flat head has made an appointment with his buddies to play games together at 9:30, but Commander Kong just said that. He is very hesitant, and he doesn’t like drinking. He was drunk at the last party. I felt uncomfortable for several days.

"I have something to do at home." How could Qi Guojuan not know what Xiao Pingtou was thinking, "If you have something to do, just leave. You will be the less powerful person today."

The little brother thought the same way. He was not an important figure in the orchestra. He couldn't be near Nikita and had no chance to see the master up close. He was just there to serve as a backdrop for the drinks.

But wouldn’t it be better to have him on the background board? After all, it’s an attitude to have him go.

"Sister," Xiao Pingtou lowered his voice, "Fang Zhi is really going to take a back seat."

This is a taboo for newcomers to the band. Even if it is true, as a newcomer, they must not discuss it in public.

Qi Guojuan looked around, but no one paid attention here.

If Xiao Ping Tou's words are heard by someone who cares and spreads in a slow tone, then whether it is true or not, Xiao Ping Tou's life will not be easy in the future.

Seeing that Qi Guojuan remained silent, Xiao Pingtou immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and smiled awkwardly.

"Memorize music scores more and practice drums more."

Qi Guojuan could only say this. No matter who stands on the podium, a musician is still a musician.

"gone."

Qi Guojuan put away her bag and said hello to Lao Meng who was not far away, "Uncle Meng, I have something to do at home. Please tell me for me."

Lao Meng is not only the senior principal of the trumpet section, but also an old friend of Qi Guojuan's father for many years. He always takes good care of Qi Guojuan in the orchestra.

After experiencing several dynasties in Rong Ai, Lao Meng has never seen anything like this, and now he is just waiting for retirement with peace of mind.

"Go." Lao Meng responded cheerfully.

After Qi Guojuan left, Xiao Pingtou looked at Lao Meng and hesitated: "Teacher Meng, what about me?"

Lao Meng laughed: "If you have nothing to do, just go and sit down. You won't be allowed to drink today."

As Qi Guojuan left, two more people left, one playing the piano and the other playing the French horn.

Among the three people, Zhongti took the initiative to go to the front and talk to Kong Chao.

If there were people who took the initiative to leave, there would naturally be people who took the initiative to shout for Kong Chao.

It's just that most people don't have any clear actions, they just pack up their instruments and play haha.

Tonight is destined to be a special night for Rong Ai. Although accepting Kong Chao's invitation does not necessarily mean that he is on Kong Chao's team, but those who did not go and did not greet Kong Chao in person undoubtedly made the choice. Standing in Fang Yongbo’s team.

But there is one exception. Even if this person personally said that he supports Kong Chao, no one would really believe it.

This person is Lin Qingfeng, chief executive of the Chengdu Philharmonic Orchestra who has followed Fang Yongbo for more than ten years and is now in his prime.

At this time, everyone in this scene turned their attention to Lin Qingfeng. Everyone was curious about whether Lin Qingfeng would go. This would also help some people who were hesitating to make a decision to a certain extent.

If Fang Yongbo really recovers from his illness, then the next band war will be between Kong Chao and Lin Qingfeng.

Although Kong Chao is higher in rank than Lin Qingfeng, Lin Qingfeng is the real orchestra leader and the second soul figure in Rongai after Fang Yongbo.

It can be said that there is no conductor to rehearse, it is enough to have Lin Qingfeng come. Lin Qingfeng is even more familiar with the orchestra's style, strengths and weaknesses than Lin Qingfeng.

Referring to the history of professional orchestras, there are only two directions for this situation in the future.

First, Kong Chao showed amazing courage and removed Lin Qingfeng, which is equivalent to completely erasing Fang Yongbo’s mark on Rongai and dismantling Fang Yongbo’s system. However, the risk Rongai will bear is that it will directly fall back to the second-rate. Rising to the level of a third-rate orchestra.

Second, Lin Qingfeng used his core advantages to oust Kong Chao little by little, forcing Kong Chao to find another place. If Kong Chao wanted to stay, he could only act as an automatic commander, but this approach also entailed risks. It was Rong Ai, the conductor and the principal who were in the same bed, and the orchestra was destined to be unable to move forward.

Competition in an orchestra is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

Faced with the invitation from potential future competitors, the busybodies can't help but be a little curious as to how Lin Qingfeng will respond.

Factional struggles have always been a matter above, and in fact they do not involve too many people. As Qi Guojuan said, just do your own thing well.

No matter what machine you install, screws are indispensable.

"I have to go if there's a drink," Lin Qingfeng put away his instrument and smiled, "But we can't let Kong Zhi pay for the overtime pay himself."

Lin Qingfeng took out his mobile phone and dialed the band manager Xiang Nan, "Lao Xiang, have a drink."

As soon as Lin Qingfeng finished speaking, the scene became more lively.

Many people have overlooked one point, Rong Ai also has a powerful figure hidden behind the stage.

On the other end of the phone, Xiang Nan cursed in his heart. Someone just sent him a message saying that Kong Chao was going to treat him.

But he still doesn’t know what kind of medicine Fang Yongbo sells in his gourd, and the program preview will be released soon!
But that's not what he was scolding. He was going to spend money again tonight.

Letting the finances bleed is tantamount to letting him bleed.

But he still had to go, because this call was made to him by Lin Qingfeng.

In his impression, Lin Qingfeng barely called him a few times.

Could it be that Lao Fang finally couldn't sit still? -
Qi Guojuan left the concert hall and went directly to the parking lot. After getting into the car, she called Fang Zheng.

Fangzheng on the other end answered in seconds: "Hani~"

Qi Guojuan was in no other mood at the moment, "Something happened."

Fang Zheng felt something was wrong as soon as he heard Qi Guojuan's tone, "What's wrong?"

Qi Guojuan told Fang Zheng the whole story, and Fang Zheng said, "Fuck me."

The CPU was directly fucked and exploded, "Dear, today is not April Fool's Day."

Qi Guojuan: "Hurry up and call Brother An."

The next second the call was hung up.

But within two seconds Fangzheng's call came back, and she picked it up again, "What's going on?"

Fang Zheng: "What should I tell the boss?"

Qi Guojuan rolled her eyes and said, "I'll fight."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Guojuan opened the address book and found Li An's phone number and dialed it.
-
Li An was sitting in front of the computer, listening to Chopin thinking, and the car had already chosen a waltz. How should he compose a nocturne for the car.

Just then the phone on the table lit up.

When he saw it was Qi Guojuan, he didn't think much and picked it up directly. "Hello."

On the other end of the phone, "Brother An, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

Li An frowned slightly, "It's convenient, tell me what you want."

A minute later, with a complex expression, he reached out and turned the volume of the speaker to the minimum.

"Brother An, that's what happened. I only knew that Nikita was going to play Chai Yi, but I didn't know why he also played Bo Er."

"If the current situation continues, the piano for the two concerts announced in the program next week will be Nikita."

Qi Guojuan is also a little confused now. She doesn't know why things are like this. All she can do is tell Li An the situation at the first time.

"What should I do, Brother An?" she asked.

Li An held the phone and smiled bitterly: "I don't know, no one has contacted me in the past two days."

Qi Guojuan thought for a moment. She originally wanted to suggest Li An to contact Fang Yongbo as soon as possible, but the other party on the last call vaguely revealed that he did not want to take the initiative to contact Fang Zhi, so she guessed that Li An might have some inconvenience.

However, she still wanted to remind the other party, "Brother An, once the program notice is released, even if you are on, you will only be in the replacement position."

How could Li An not understand, "Hey."

After a while, "Thank you."

Li An's helpless tone made Qi Guojuan feel even more uncomfortable. How could such a good person encounter such a thing?

Qi Guojuan couldn't bear it anymore: "Brother An, please contact Brother Bo."

There was silence on both ends of the phone.

After a while, Li An spoke: "Just know it yourself."

"What?" Qi Guojuan didn't understand.

Immediately afterwards, Ang Lee's calm voice came over the phone, "Among the ten concerts signed by Rong Ai and I, there is no Brahms one."

When Qi Guojuan heard this, she was dumbfounded in the driver's seat. Didn't An Ge sign Brahms at the end of the year? !

"No Brother An, what's going on? Didn't you and Brother Bo talk about Brahms last time we had dinner?"

Li An also wanted to know what was going on, but who should he ask?
"I'm the same as you. I thought Brother Bo would contact me around the time. Let's talk about it later."

Li An didn't want to think about it for the time being, "How are you planning tonight?"

Ang Lee himself laughed when asked, "How does Nikita play Brahms?"

Qi Guojuan:
My brother, when will you still be in the mood to care about this?

Alas, "It went relatively smoothly. He played the piano very well, but the conductor was a little bit off."

Since Li An asked, Qi Guojuan had something to say. At least she felt there was no need to comfort Li An by saying that the schedule was a mess, but she did not take her personal emotions into her evaluation of the conductor.

"Kong Chao designed some arrangements when the orchestra was rehearsing solo, but after adding the piano tonight, his preparations were not reflected. Nikita had his own ideas, and Kong Chao was a little overwhelmed."

Ang Lee can probably imagine that scene. It should be that Kong Chao and Nikita have not communicated well. To perform a large-scale concerto, the conductor and soloist must be in the same rope and move in the same direction.

"Is there a video?" Ang Lee wanted to hear Nikita's scene.

Qi Guojuan: "I'll ask you about it later."

Li An: "Thank you, thank you. Grasshopper, please go home quickly. Drive more slowly on the road. Our original plan remains unchanged for the time being. We will come out and sit if we can meet up at the same time."

Qi Guojuan: "Well, Brother An, you"

Li An smiled: "Don't worry, this is nothing. It's not like we won't have any opportunities in the future. We will have to cooperate in at least three games next year. I hope something goes wrong in those games next year. According to the contract, I can make a lot of money." ”

Qi Guojuan: "Hahaha, Brother An, please be busy. Let's make an appointment next week. You can send Fang Zheng a message later. He is very anxious and does not dare to call you."

Ang Lee: "OK, only the three of us know this phone number."

Qi Guojuan: "Don't worry."

After hanging up Qi Guojuan's call, Li An called Fang Zheng again.

After five minutes of comfort, Li An was in a much better mood when he hung up the phone again. It was obvious that he needed to be comforted, but in the end, he comforted Fang Zheng.

Okay, his job as a matchmaker was not in vain. He was quite touched by the approach and attitude of these brothers and sisters in this matter.

moment.

Fangzheng sent another WeChat message: Are you still playing ball tomorrow?
81,000: I have to fight, and you have to fight with me for three hours.
Fangzheng replied: Haha, even so, I won’t let you go tomorrow.

81,000: Get out of here, no matter who you are, see you at 6:30.
-
At 22:45, in the restaurant of the hotel where Nikita stayed, Rong Ai and his party were drinking and excited.

Why did he eat with Nikita? He went upstairs to bed early.

Xiang Nan mentioned one thing to everyone while he was drinking: "We should release a program preview next week. It would be a joke if we don't release it. There are only a few places left, and all the tickets for Haijiao have been sold out."

After Xiang Nan finished speaking, Lin Qingfeng was the first to answer: "Hold on, Lao Xiang."

Following Lin Qingfeng's words, the dining table fell into silence for a moment.

Then Kong Chao stood up and picked up a full cup, "Then just listen to Brother Lin! Get out as soon as you get down!"

meal.

"This glass of wine wishes us, Rong Ai, Nirvana and rebirth!"

"well said!"

"Go one!"

Suddenly the dining table became lively again, even more lively than before.

When Xiang Nan was holding the cup, he glanced at Lin Qingfeng, but Lin Qingfeng didn't look at him and only clinked glasses with Kong Chao.

The two of them were as affectionate as brothers.

southward:******
Li An made a video call with Chen Xuan before going to bed that night. After chatting for a while, Chen Xuan asked him what was wrong.

Li An explained that he was tired from rehearsing in the past two days, but Chen Xuan forced him to put down his phone and go to bed immediately.

Then put down the phone. Li An was really worried that if the conversation continued, he couldn't help but tell Chen Xuan about it.

It was a critical period for Chen Xuan to prepare for the exam, and he couldn't let Chen Xuan worry about him anymore.

So be it.

Ang Lee still had the same attitude. Since he didn't ask Fang Yongbo at that time, there was no need for him to make another call now.

Could Fang Yongbo not know about this?
impossible.

But it would be a lie to say that I don’t feel uncomfortable.

Li An felt very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he had made some mental preparations in advance after the phone call with Qi Guojuan that night.
-
Early the next morning, Li An's original plan was to practice piano in the morning and go to the Art Examination Department for classes at noon.

But when he sat down in front of the piano, he always felt a little lethargic.

Fortunately, after practicing it, he temporarily forgot all his worries.

Later he picked up the Boer and practiced the fourth movement.

Don't tell me, it feels different from yesterday.

Hey.

Don't think about it, don't think about it, one day he will let everyone hear his penis.

But when is that day?

With such repeated emotions, Li An even forgot about Wang Xiaohu's reward reminder countdown.

Until he heard a crisp "ding" sound while he was eating lunch.

"Oh haha~"
