The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 410

"Harmonious Symphony of the Chen Qiu Era"

When seeing this title and cover, almost everyone in China was stunned.

They have absolutely no idea why the Harmony Symphony Orchestra made the front page of Musician magazine this year.

This is no ordinary homepage.

This is the opening issue of the year.

It’s the episode that sets the tone for the entire year of Musicians Magazine.

Musician Magazine actually has a corresponding theme every year.

For example, the title of the opening issue of 2018 is Music Change.

Of course, they didn't really think too much about it when they were writing it.

In fact, the main reason they gave for the musical changes was that some top symphony orchestras began to change their leaders.

When a new conductor takes over those top orchestras, what kind of changes will he bring to the orchestra?

Last year, Musician Magazine used this as the title for 2018, hoping to write more content about music changes.

The fact is just as they thought.

There were indeed some changes in 2018, and many top musicians had new developments.

For example, the most revolutionary thing is that the pianist Fu Diao directly made it into the top ten in piano in Musician Magazine last year, while Lang Liangyue came in first.

This is also a change.

Therefore, after the opening issue of the year, Musician Magazine also interviewed Lang Liangyue, hoping that he could talk about his feelings about becoming the world's number one pianist for the first time.

Lang Liangyue seemed much calmer in comparison.

When facing an interview with Musician Magazine, he simply said that this honor did not belong to him. He was still just an ordinary music student until now and was still learning a lot of things about music. He was just lucky to get the first place. There were still many senior musicians waiting for him to learn from.

This watertight statement is obviously meaningless.

It's not just Lang Liangyue, the same is true for Petrenko, who was the focus of the interview.

He had just taken over the position of chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, and many people were waiting for him to make a mistake, so he seemed particularly honest and refused to say anything.

This also resulted in the overall low-key coverage of musician magazines in 2018.

Although the name says "music revolution", everyone who participated in the revolution said that they were just lucky and they did not make any contribution to the music.

How can we interview this?

Not able to interview at all.

Therefore, the 2018 Musician Magazine ended abruptly in such an atmosphere.

By 2019, Petrenko had completely taken control of the Berlin Philharmonic and had led it to several impressive performances.

Musician Magazine decided not to give these people too much hope this year.

Everything should be kept low-key.

Take Petrenko, for example.

The title of the international edition was "Berlin Philharmonic in the Petrenko Era", which seemed to be praising Petrenko, but in fact it was a pessimistic view throughout.

They found it hard to believe that Petrenko could achieve anything particularly great.

They don't believe that the Berlin Philharmonic of the Petrenko era is superior to the Berlin Philharmonic of the Simon Rattle era.

Not only them, but other music critics and music lovers are the same.

Who was the conductor of our Berlin Philharmonic before?
It is the conductor emperor Karajan, it is Furtwängler, it is Sir Simon, it is Abbado.

Each one of them is famous.

Who are you, Petrenko?
How do you compare yourself to those people?
This also gradually lowered everyone's expectations for Petrenko to the point that he could keep the Berlin Philharmonic from being too rubbish and turn it into a first-class orchestra.

In the international version, they are pessimistic about the future of classical music.

Whether it is the musicians' abilities or the market for music, there is almost no optimism.

They even think this year might be a bad year for classical music.

Under such influence, although it is the first issue of the new year, it gives people an indescribable sense of pessimism.

It was as if classical music was doomed.

Therefore, for those who first watched the international version, when they saw the domestic title, their first feeling was actually...

What the hell? What did the Harmony Symphony Orchestra do wrong to be criticized by a domestic musician magazine?

Isn't this too outrageous?
Criticizing in public is a yes.

It's basically on the same level as the Berlin Philharmonic.

however.

When they actually saw the articles published in China, there was only one thing on their minds.

That is……

Are domestic musician magazines stupid?
Did they completely fail to understand the article written by the headquarters next door?

The headquarters is criticizing and expressing pessimism, but you are praising and expressing optimism here?
Are you playing the devil's advocate?
However, after seeing the name of the person who wrote the article, everyone couldn't help but shut up.

Ji Zhe.

He is known as Sanji in the underworld.

The leading music critic at Musician Magazine.

Such a person directly comes out to support the Harmony Symphony Orchestra?
Everyone looked at the name and was a little surprised for a moment.

They were even more surprised after comparing the content with Ji Zhe's own style.

No, are you sure this person is Ji Zhe and not someone else?

This exaggeration is too outrageous.

He wrote directly to everyone at the beginning.

"If I were given 100 yuan and asked to choose a symphony orchestra to listen to, within the 100 yuan range, the only one I could choose would be the Harmony Symphony."

"If I were given 500 yuan and asked to choose a symphony orchestra to listen to, I would probably choose the Harmony Symphony Orchestra."

"If I were given 1000 yuan, 2000 yuan, or even travel expenses, and asked to randomly choose a symphony orchestra to listen to, I would probably still choose the Harmony Symphony."

"Even if I were asked to choose a symphony orchestra to listen to for the rest of my life, and never change, and could only listen to their music for the rest of my life, I think my choice would not change. I would choose the Harmony Symphony."

"This is a magical band, and it is also a very interesting band. In this band, you can even see the growth of the band, the changes of the band, and the eternal characteristics of the band."

“Every time you listen here, you can have a completely different feeling.”

“If listening to the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the London Symphony Orchestra is to enjoy the beauty that music brings you, then listening to the Harmony Symphony Orchestra not only allows you to enjoy the beauty that music brings you, but you can also hear many things beyond music.”

"The passion of the band, the struggle of the band, the madness of the band, and the growth of the band."

“And you witness the beauty of this growth.”

Everyone just stared blankly at Ji Zhe's lengthy speech praising the Harmony Symphony Orchestra at the very beginning, and then flipped through the book briefly.

Everyone was numb.

No.

Although this opening magazine of the year is thick, most of the content in the back is this year's rankings and so on.

But your exaggeration is simply too outrageous, isn't it?
They did a rough calculation.

The music reviews at the beginning of the year in this magazine are basically around 80 pages, and then...

The Harmony Orchestra takes up the first 15 pages!
No dude! 15 pages!

Are you writing your thesis here?

The words on the page are densely packed. A rough calculation shows that there are at least 600 words on one page.

That is to say.

Ji Zhe wrote a manuscript of nearly 10,000 words for the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

The editor of a Chinese musicians magazine also approved the article, making it to the front page.

No, you are all crazy?
Is the Harmony Symphony Orchestra really that awesome?

Or did they give you money from Musicians Magazine and just buy you off?

Otherwise, it is impossible to do such an outrageous thing, right?

Nearly one-fifth of the content is harmony orchestra, and this is in the very beginning.

The remaining four-fifths were divided among other bands.

You call this dividing the cake?
What’s the difference between this and robbery?
Seeing the Harmony Symphony Orchestra occupying such a large page space and seeing the Chinese Musicians Magazine praising the Harmony Symphony Orchestra so much, everyone felt a little indignant for a moment.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't figure out why the Harmony Symphony Orchestra had earned so much attention and how much benefits it had received to get such a big share of the pie.

This is simply intentionally disgusting!

Everyone couldn't help but think so.

Then, with a deliberate attitude, they turned to the back page and began to look for the ranking of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

They wanted to see why this top symphony orchestra, praised by Musicians Magazine, had won such an honor.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

One fifth of the page space!

Everyone was envious just thinking about it.

They quickly flipped to the end, found the orchestra section, then found China, and flipped upwards from around 30th place.

If I remember correctly, this band should have been ranked 33rd last year.

They should be similar this year.

Even if there is progress, it won't be much.

They went from 30 to 20.

There is no name for the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

Seeing this, everyone began to waver.

Could there be more than ten of them?

If there are only ten or so people, although it is a bit outrageous, it seems understandable.

After all, the improvement from 33rd place to 10th place is a bit scary.

Then they looked through all the rankings from 10-20 and made a very horrified discovery.

There is no harmony symphony orchestra.

No, there is no harmony symphony in 10-20, so where is the harmony symphony?

Everyone's first reaction was to scroll down to see if there was any name of a harmony symphony after 30.

But reason kept them calm.

If the Harmony and Symphony Orchestra had not made any progress and they had remained at around 33rd place, the Chinese edition of Musician magazine would definitely not have praised them so much.

After all, China ranks 33rd, and the global ranking is 666th.

There is absolutely no point in discussing this ranking.

Everyone suppressed their surprise and continued to look through the top ten symphony orchestras in China.

The Tenth Orchestra of China, Yuezhou Symphony Orchestra, well, that’s quite normal. They just got a new conductor, and it’s pretty good that they can maintain this position. But it’s not a harmony symphony?
No. 9 in China, Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra. It is normal for a city to be rich, there is nothing special to discuss.

The eighth in China, Hangzhou Philharmonic, remains the same, nothing special to say.

No. 7 in China, China Philharmonic, very impressive, not bad.

The sixth in China is the military band, which absorbed a group of people last year and has greatly increased its strength.

But I've already seen the sixth one, why haven't I seen the Harmony Symphony Orchestra yet?

Everyone couldn't help but have a bad premonition in their hearts.

The Harmony Symphony Orchestra... won't get fifth place in China, right?
Everyone continued to look down with heavy hearts, then fell silent, and then their pupils dilated, their eyes full of disbelief.

etc.
China is fifth???

The fifth orchestra in China is actually the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

The top four in China are still the same four: China Symphony Orchestra, China Grand Theater Symphony Orchestra, Haicheng Symphony Orchestra, and Guicheng Symphony Orchestra.

There's nothing special to say.

But fifth in China, no, how did you get this result?
China ranks fifth!
Ranked fifth nationwide!
You, you, I, am, not, you, hiss…

For a moment, everyone didn't know what to say.

They knew the Harmony Orchestra was outrageous, but they didn't expect it to be this outrageous.

This is a bit too outrageous.

China ranked fifth.

15th in Asia.

worldwide……

97!

Damn it?

Top 100 in the world!
At this moment, the harmonious symphony orchestra's performance in front of them almost distorted their brains.

They never imagined that the Harmony Symphony Orchestra would be among the top five in China.

Not only is it in the top five in China, but it is also in the top 15 in Asia and the top 100 in the world!

And this is not the point.

They found very clearly that the Harmony Symphony Orchestra's score this year was 9.47 points.

The Guicheng Symphony Orchestra's score this year is 9.51 points.

This means that on the orchestra score sheet, from third to fifth, their scores are exactly the same 9.5 points!
The gap between them is not that big anymore.

Harmony Symphony ranked 97th in China, th in Asia, and th in the world
Guicheng Symphony Orchestra ranks 79th in China, th in Asia, and th in the world.

Haicheng Symphony Orchestra ranks third in China, ninth in Asia, and 77th in the world.

The gap is not big, the gap is really not big.

Everyone turned back to the previous introduction of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

Saw the results of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra last year.

China 33, Asia 78, Global 666
Compare this year's.

All they can say is...

The speed of this progress is truly terrifying.

At this time, they look back at the ranking of the Harmony Orchestra and the proportion of the Harmony Orchestra in the Musicians Magazine. They can only say...

Giving too little.

Yes, there was only one thing on everyone’s mind, and that was that they gave too little.

Based on what the Harmony Symphony Orchestra has shown so far, there would be no problem even if you gave it half the page space. But you only gave it less than one-fifth?

Normally you seem to be very generous, why are you so stingy now?
Damn Jizhe, damn musician magazine.

Everyone started to read the article written by Ji Zhe again to see what Ji Zhe thought of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

Of course, they don’t really care about Ji Zhe’s opinion. What they care about most right now is one thing.

That is……

How did the Harmony Symphony Orchestra achieve this result?

Why are they recognized by so many people?

Everyone quickly read through the article written by Ji Zhe, and then made a desperate discovery.

They can’t replicate it.

Because, the core of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

It’s Chen Qiu.
