Chapter 187: Rehearsal
read336();
It's a pity that Qin Fangge doesn't care about these comments, and he can't care about them. The number of his Weibo fans is growing at a rate of more than 10,000 every day, and I haven't seen him post Weibo every day.
In the morning, he studied opera with Zhou Xiuying, and in the afternoon he made his own music, and his life was very dull but fulfilling.
Soon, the conservatory of music was on holiday day, and students who lived in other places were ready to go home after the holidays.
Huang Jing, Ye Xiuling, Xie Xiaojuan, Qian Shuyuan, Han Wei, they all have to go back, and according to Zuo Shuqin and their agreement, let them go home and stay for a month before returning to Yanjing. During this time, they want to travel, either at home with their parents, or to participate in competitions.
It doesn't matter how many people live in Yanjing, they can gather at any time.
And when Huang Jing and the others left Yanjing, Qin Fangge didn't have time to send them off.
Because he was going to attend the rehearsal of Zhou Xiuying's concert, the venue was in the Great Hall of the People.
After nearly a month of training by Zhou Xiuying, Qin Fangge is improving every day, and Zhou Xiuying also feels that it is time for him to shine.
There are only three days left before the music starts, and although the concert is only more than two hours, it is said that one minute on stage, ten years of work off the stage, and the rehearsal work in the early stage is quite important.
The whole music is accompanied by the China Philharmonic Orchestra, Zhou Xiuying, the face of the vocal industry is indeed big enough, and the China Philharmonic Orchestra can be regarded as the best symphony orchestra in the country.
The choir responsible for the backing vocals and harmony is the choir of the China Philharmonic Orchestra, which was formerly the music choir of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, and was later separated and placed under the management of the Ministry of Culture. The current choir director Zhou Jiaqing is Zhou Xiuying's proud student, and the members of the choir are also outstanding graduates of major conservatories, among which Huaxia Conservatory of Music has graduated the most. Graduates of the vocal music department, if they can't be singers without talent and connections, joining the choir is undoubtedly the best choice.
The rehearsals in the past few days are mainly to practice the coordination between the symphony orchestra and the singers.
Wang Shuxiang, the conductor of the China Philharmonic Orchestra, graduated from the Conducting Department of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, is quite famous at home and abroad, and his conducting style is more passionate, but there is no lack of delicacy.
Zhou Xiuying herself also attaches great importance to this concert, and when she was rehearsing with everyone, she also continued her usual style, being tough and ruthless, speaking straightforwardly, and where she didn't do well, she would directly point it out, and then let them correct it. Especially when performing operas, she will personally go into battle and dance to them.
Even singers who have been famous for a long time still listen respectfully to the teachings in front of this energetic old lady, and they feel no different from when they were in the conservatory.
And with Zhou Xiuying's current status, there is no need to scruple about so many things.
And in the days when he was studying opera with Zhou Xiuying, Qin Fangge almost got to know Zhou Xiuying's students. Because Zhou Xiuying often mentions her so-and-so student when she teaches him, when she first learned from her, what are the advantages and where are the shortcomings, but also to remind Qin Fangge to absorb their advantages, and their shortcomings should not be repeated.
Qin Fangge has done a very good job in this regard, he will not make the same mistake a second time at all, and he can still draw inferences from one another, which makes Zhou Xiuying very happy.
This is the first time Qin Fangge has come to the Great Hall of the People, putting aside those mysterious political bonuses, the only feeling given to him here is that the Great Hall is large, can accommodate 10,000 people, covering an area and decorating dignified and heavy. Of course, in terms of acoustic structure, this building, which was built more than sixty years ago, is naturally not as scientific as the new concert hall that was built later, but this does not seem to be important.
Her students have all heard of Zhou Xiuying's newly accepted disciple, met him, and greeted him a lot.
It's just that the true level of Qin Fangge's opera singing is still a mystery to them. When Qin Fang sang art songs, it was quite good.
For rehearsals, it is still in the order of the concert works, the first song is "I Love You, China" composed and written by Qin Fangge, and the singer is Wei Lingling.
With the accompaniment of a top symphony orchestra like the China Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as the harmony of the choir, it is a place full of meaning. In addition, Wei Lingling was originally a well-known soprano singer at home and abroad, and she also worked hard to practice this song, so she did not hesitate to ask Zhou Xiuying for advice, and she was willing to come down and communicate with Qin Fangge.
Even if it was just a rehearsal, there was no audience at the scene, Wei Lingling's singing sang with strong patriotic feelings, and showed the heart of a pure fist to the fullest.
Wang Shuxiang, the conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra, originally belonged to the passionate faction, he seemed to have been infected by the song, and the conductor's movements were also full of pride, his eyes were closed, waving his arms vigorously, it seemed that his current age was not in his fifties, but dozens of years younger and returned to the era when he was flying passionately.
Wei Lingling sang the song, Zhou Xiuying took the lead in applauding, and the other students were naturally not far behind, Qin Fangge was cheeky and slapped his slap loudly.
Wei Lingling first shook hands with conductor Wang Shuxiang, and after receiving a burst of praise, she sincerely asked Zhou Xiuying for advice, asking her what else she had done imperfectly and needed to improve.
Zhou Xiuying asked Qin Fangge, who was beside her, to tell her, that he was the creator of this song and had the most right to speak.
Wei Lingling set her eyes on Qin Fangge again, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Wei has a deep singing foundation and has already sung quite perfectly, I don't think there is anything that needs to be improved." ”
Wei Lingling smiled and said to him, "Senior Brother Qin, if Mr. Zhou asks you to talk about it, you can talk about it! Rehearsals are to find and solve problems." ”
"Anyway, I sound pretty perfect!I don't know what Mr. Zhou's opinion is?" Qin Fangge is also quite cunning.
Wei Lingling put her attention back on Zhou Xiuying, Zhou Xiuying was not as good at talking as Qin Fangge, and she glared at Qin Fangge a few times. Don't say anything else, listening to the quality of the singing and the tacit understanding of the orchestra's cooperation, with Zhou Xiuying's understanding of Qin Fangge's perverted ears, he can definitely do it.
Zhou Xiuying also spoke directly, directly pointing out several places where Wei Lingling still needs to be strengthened and paid attention to, and at the same time, she also put forward her own opinions on the cooperation with the symphony orchestra and harmony.
Zhou Xiuying has a high status in the rivers and lakes, and what she said should be listened to by a bullish orchestra like the China Philharmonic Orchestra, and their orchestra came this time mainly to cooperate with the singers who need to go on stage.
Wang Shuxiang also listened to opinions with an open mind, if Qin Fangge was to say this, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced.
Then, Zhou Xiuying asked Wei Lingling to do the opening song again, Wei Lingling didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and even the symphony orchestra and choir had to be in good spirits.
If they don't practice this piece well, they will have a hard time these days.
This time, the cooperation was much better than the previous one, Qin Fangge felt that it might be the reason why the symphony orchestra did not enter the state so quickly before, and then he applauded again.
But Zhou Xiuying was still not satisfied, because she felt that Wei Lingling and the symphony orchestra could obviously do better, and she asked Wei Lingling to think more carefully about her experience after she went down. At the same time, she did not shy away from telling Wei Lingling, "If you want Qin Fangge to sing this song, the effect will definitely be better." ”
Qin Fangge didn't want to pull hatred, so he hurriedly said to Wei Lingling, "There are differences between men and women, and their voices are different, and my style is obviously different from that of Teacher Wei!"
Wei Lingling was very open, "Mr. Zhou is right, I will figure it out carefully." ”
Zhou Xiuying knew that Wei Lingling would not be able to practice any effect during this time, so she called for the following rehearsals. She also knows Wei Lingling too well, she can't compare to a real genius like Qin Fangge, but if she is given a little time and pressure, she can still do it more perfectly.
Everyone knows that Zhou Xiuying is professional, strict and demanding, she doesn't discount in the slightest, and she doesn't recognize favors, if you sing well, she will praise you. If you sing badly, I'm sorry, a hard criticism is indispensable.
Because, the people who came to the stage later are also singers and artists who have become famous, and they all show their full spirit and state, and everyone wants to be less criticized.
Qin Fangge still kept a low profile, although the level of these singers he listened to was not as good as he imagined. But he also knew that they really tried their best, not that their efforts were not enough, but that their talent was not as perverted as Qin Fangge's body, and they couldn't be more perfect.
The repertoire of this concert is art songs in Chinese and operas from abroad.
Zhao Yuhui sang the song "Pursuit" composed by Qin Fangge and wrote the lyrics, and Zhou Xiuying was like nitpicking, and she could still jump out of a lot of problems.
Then, everyone seems to have discovered the problem as well.
Mr. Zhou's ears seem to be more picky than ever, and they, who have been famous singers and artists for a long time, are starting to have a better time than before, and they feel that they can't work hard.
When it comes to the back of these changes, Qin Fangge can't help but mention it.
Because everyone knows that Zhou Xiuying has not pushed off most of the entertainment as she is now, for a whole month, she will spend half a day every day to train a student, with Qin Fangge's standard as a reference, it is reasonable to have high requirements for them.
This time, everyone suffered.
is not only those singers who were born in society and are in the opera houses of major art troupes and song and dance troupes, but even the head of the vocal music and opera department of Huaxia Conservatory of Music, Shen Jianping, her level should be the highest. But when she sang an excerpt from her best "Lady of the Camellias", she was still wildly criticized by Zhou Xiuying, asking her to practice more and figure it out, and said that she should focus more on basic exercises.
Zhou Xiuying's words made Shen Jianping feel a little cryless when she said this.
She is the director of the vocal opera department of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music! Zhou Xiuying, the top singer in China, even asked her to continue to strengthen her basic training. She is not afraid of losing face, anyway, the eldest brother present does not say that the second brother has as many pockmarks on his face, and he has been criticized by Zhou Xiuying.
But in this way, not only Shen Jianping, everyone especially wants to see how amazing this genius student trained by Zhou Xiuying can reach.
When Qin Fangge took the entrance examination of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, Shen Jianping had also heard several excerpts from Italian opera, and he still seemed a little jerky at that time, and he didn't know what his current level was.
It's a pity that the rehearsal progress is very slow, and when it is Qin Fangge's turn to sing the opera on stage, at least the day after tomorrow.
Zhou Xiuying is not afraid that the students will say that she is biased, and what she arranged for Qin Fangge is the finale, and it is "The Beautiful Scenery of Good Days" that few tenor singers in the world dare to challenge.
At noon, everyone ate a boxed lunch in the Great Hall, and after a rest, everyone continued to rehearse.
And taking advantage of this meal and rest, Huang Weihong, a young tenor singer who is active on the domestic stage, is now also working in the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, he came to find Qin Fangge and wanted to ask Qin Fangge to help him compose songs. Huang Weihong is a student of Zhou Xiuying, and now Professor Zhou Wei of the Yenching Conservatory of Music is the most proud student, Professor Zhou Wei is too old to go on stage and is mainly engaged in education, so he sent Huang Weihong to perform for her. And Huang Weihong is indeed one of the few singers in the younger generation, and he also studied with Zhou Xiuying for a while.
In addition to Huang Weihong, other Zhou Xiuying's students all had the idea of writing songs from him after seeing the two very good art songs created by Qin Fangge, which can even be said to be classics.
Although Zhou Wei didn't perform on stage, she still came to the scene, she had a good relationship with Professor Zhou Xiuying, and she could still laugh and complain that Zhou Xiuying was eccentric, saying something, "What's the matter, I have to let Qin Fangge give us all a song!"
When he didn't work, Zhou Xiuying was very kind, "You tell him yourself!" But he is now creating TV series, and for a while, I'm afraid he won't be able to spare time." ”
Everyone just reacted, isn't it!
Recently, there has been a lot of uproar about this matter!
Then, everyone expressed their support to him, and reprimanded many people for standing and talking without backache, and daring to spray indiscriminately without knowing Qin Fangge's talent. Let Qin Fangge ignore these voices and do his own thing.
Qin Fangge expressed his gratitude to everyone for their concern, and if he was inspired, he would create such art songs. also admitted that for him, the lyrics are the biggest problem, and if you want to develop in China, whether it is an art song or a pop song, the importance of lyrics to a song undoubtedly occupies a very high proportion.
This is easy to do, they know a lot of lyricists, just a few art troupes, there are a lot.
Then, this matter still has to wait for Qin Fangge to be busy for a while and have inspiration. Fortunately, everyone is not in a hurry, these are just episodes, and the main task for everyone at the moment is to make this concert a success.
Zhou Xiuying did not forget to encourage everyone to cheer, and especially thanked the members of the China Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir.
The afternoon was still very sad, Zhou Xiuying seemed to be in a rage, with high standards and strict requirements, and she almost didn't go crazy.
But everyone knows that Zhou Xiuying is also good for them, and she used to be like this, constantly spurring them to have their current achievements.
Tired and hard, everyone dare not have any complaints.
Of course, after suffering and being tired, they also collectively asked for some benefits.
As for what this benefit is, everyone also has a complete and unanimous opinion, that is, listening to Qin Fangge, the culprit, singing opera.
Zhou Xiuying's changes are all caused by him, Zhou Wei doesn't perform on stage, and she can easily tell Zhou Xiuying, "Mr. Zhou arranged such a difficult repertoire for him, it's not good if he doesn't practice today! We all want to hear what Qin Fangge's current singing level has reached, otherwise, we won't be able to sleep well at night." ”
Wei Lingling and Guo Yan also echoed them, saying that Rangguang asked Qin Fang to sing and listen to them sing, but they didn't listen to him sing, and they suffered a big loss!
Zhou Xiuying understood their thoughts, so she agreed with a smile, and asked Qin Fangge to prepare and sing "Beautiful Scenery".
Among them, the most bitter one is Shen Jianping, because she has to play against Qin Fangge. I don't know what it looks like to be criticized by Zhou Xiuying, but fortunately, before this, she has made sufficient psychological preparations, anyway, she just wants to let out an old face, there is no way to do it, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach.
Moreover, when the time comes, I'm afraid everyone won't focus on her!
Zhou Xiuying personally stepped forward and greeted the conductor of the symphony orchestra, mainly about the style of conducting, in this opera excerpt, Wang Shuxiang actually does not have much conducting experience, because there are really few tenors who dare to sing. A tenor like Huang Weihong only focuses on the high-pitched singing of domestic art songs, and he really doesn't have much level in singing opera.
Wang Shuxiang greeted the members of the symphony orchestra again, and asked them to cheer up the last spirit and not slack off in the slightest.
The members of the orchestra also understood that this was perhaps the most difficult piece of the concert.
After everyone was ready, Qin Fangge also officially sang on stage, and he secretly trained for nearly a month of repertoire. Before he opened his mouth to sing, he politely shook hands with Conductor Wang Shuxiang and thanked them for coming to help him rehearse after a long day's work.
Wang Shuxiang hurriedly smiled and said no, and said, "I'm looking forward to your singing, we don't usually practice much of this song, if there is anything missing, please forgive me." ”
Of course, Qin Fangge will not be too presumptuous and only say good things about the orchestra and conductor, he also knows it very well, and it is also for the sake of Zhou Xiuying's face that Wang Shuxiang will be so polite to him.
First, Shen Jianping's singing led to Qin Fang's singing.
Qin Fangge, who is low-key and introverted under the stage, is modest and steady, and when he stands on the stage, he feels that the whole person is different.
