Chapter 1410: Command
No, after being shocked, Yu Dawei and Qi Jun praised Qin Fang's song, and after he pretended to compare, he was still quite modest and calm, and he found many reasons, "I wrote my own opera, if I can't play it well and sing it badly, how embarrassing it is?" I also believe that as long as everyone works together, we can interpret this opera into a classic, and then really go abroad, so that those foreigners can see the real strength of our opera industry. ”
Others, such as Zhou Xiuying and Shen Jianping, are on the stage, very close to the orchestra in the orchestra pit. Qin Fangge's behavior just now said that they all saw it in their eyes, and look, Qin Fangge is actually still demagogic!
It is worth mentioning that the National Centre for the Performing Arts' opera house is magnificent, with an advanced stage with pushing, pulling, rising, lowering, and turning functions, as well as a tilting ballet stage board, and a lifting orchestra pit that can accommodate a tri-wind band. The orchestra pit is in front of the stage, and in front of the orchestra pit is the pool seat, which is the second most expensive ticket price, making it a good location to enjoy the opera.
At this time, Zhou Xiuying, Shen Jianping, Zhai Liyin and other opera singers were preparing on stage, while Qin Fangge went to the orchestra pit, and he was more like he took over the baton temporarily. And Yu Dawei, the chief conductor of the National Centre for the Performing Arts Orchestra, has no rejection of this, but also because an orchestra often has different conductors to rehearse and conduct performances, such as this opera performance, Yu Dawei himself is the orchestra conductor, and the next one is another conductor, and there will also be times when foreign big-name conductors are invited to conduct the performance.
As for the members of the orchestra, they are only able to serve strong conductors. Although Qin Fangge did not graduate from the formal conducting department, he could not stand up to his identity as a composer! In the era of classical music, composers could directly serve as orchestra conductors, especially when the symphony premiered, many composers did so.
And Qin Fangge's super strength is also an important reason for them to be convinced, and Qi Jun, the biggest violin chief, does not dare to say that his violin performance skills are better than Qin Fangge. are all engaged in this business, and if you can't hear the good or bad, don't eat this bowl of rice.
Even if he got off the horse, he had to admit it, but Qin Fangge was not satisfied with this, and soon borrowed the viola. In fact, he usually doesn't play the viola much, but more violin and double bass, and there are two girls, Long Xueyao and Han Wei, who learn this professionally!
Even so, he still amazed the audience when he played this important passage of Don Juan's overture on viola. It was the melody with the style of the funeral march that he played on the viola was sad and sad, like a sigh, as if one could smell the breath of death in it, that hellish feeling. This is in line with the tragic ending of the opera, in which the playboy Don Juan is dragged into hell by the flames.
After Qin Fangge pretended to be addicted, he couldn't stop at all, and went to use the double bass for another while. He is more adept at this, and the double bass is the most indispensable bass instrument in the symphony orchestra. The Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra is a large formation, and the double bass is also doubled by the cello with a total of eight members.
In fact, looking at Zuo Shuqin's new folk orchestra with a double bass, you can see the important position of the double bass in the low voice.
Qin Fangge spent a lot of time with Han Wei during this time, and two nights ago, they practiced music in the style of Death and Girl together. When it comes to Don Juan, he can be at his fingertips, but the shock to the other double bass members is far more than that.
He didn't deliberately want to pretend to be forced in front of everyone, mainly for the sake of work results. Of course, this also has to be his own strength, otherwise, he will really play a big knife in front of Guan Gong, pretending to be forced but being fucked.
In this way, the effect is also excellent. At the very least, let everyone present once again realize his wickedness and perversion, and when conducting the orchestra to rehearse, there will be less pressure and disgust. They didn't say anything about Yu Dawei's command, but they may still be a little unconvinced in their hearts, "Don't just know BB, you can do it!"
But in front of Qin Fangge, they would never dare to say things like "You can do it, you can do it", so they still rehearse obediently!
Moreover, as the composer of the opera, Qin Fangge knows everything about this opera, whether it is the music played by the orchestra or the performances of the opera singers on the stage, it seems that all this is in his mind. It felt like it was stored on a computer's hard drive, he could call it up at any time, and he knew what was wrong the first time.
This puts a lot of pressure on the members of the Grand Theater Orchestra, and they all feel that the gap between people is too great! They are all in front of them, and it is unrealistic for them to memorize the score, even if they are conductors, only those who are more powerful will memorize all the scores of the whole piece.
Qin Fangge is good, it is simply a living dictionary of human form, it is far from enough to describe him as a genius, and words like demonic and perverted monster god god seem to be more appropriate.
The female members of the group are not in the mood to play the trick of "the song is wrong, Zhou Langgu" at the moment, although Qin Fangge's appearance is high enough and handsome, it actually feels good to be stared at by him. But it was too embarrassing to be watched by other members of the group and the conductor, and I couldn't get by on my own face!
That's it, although Qin Fangge focused on training the orchestra and called him on the stage, he could still respond as soon as possible, and he successfully connected the orchestra with the stage. This is also very important, in the future, when the official start of the performance, the orchestra also needs to cooperate with the stage, of course, the key is to look at the conductor.
By the afternoon, in addition to the chief conductor Yu Dawei, who had been present, two other conductors also came, namely laurel conductor Huang Qingyun and assistant conductor Liu Shuang. The two of them are also the resident conductors of the Grand Theater, and they will also come to learn from other tasks after they are busy with other work.
Conducting is a profound art, and anyone who is competent to conduct such a large orchestra, even if he is only an assistant conductor, can be called a genius among musical geniuses, and the talent must not be bad, otherwise, if you can't even hear the performance of every instrument in the hundreds of instruments in the symphony orchestra, don't insult the conductor's profession.
These conductors all graduated from the conducting department of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, but they were all many years ago, and the eldest Yu Dawei is almost seventy years old this year, and he is still fighting on the front line of conducting.
Of course, the most admirable thing is naturally Zhou Xiuying, who is over 80 years old, and everyone has fully experienced it."
What kind of experience is it to have an old man like a treasure".
The orchestra and the opera singers rehearsed until nine o'clock in the evening, which was fine, but when the opera was officially performed, it would not end until after half past ten. Then, everyone has to remove their makeup and pack their things, meet with important audiences or something. Oh, by the way, everyone hasn't forgotten to remind Qin Fangge to prepare the encore, which seems to have become a routine for his opera performances. For fans, you can't favor one over the other! When you are abroad, there will be a comeback, what's the matter, admiring the foreign and flattering the foreigners, and looking down on the domestic audience? Anyway, there is something to say.
Moreover, Shen Jianping and the others are also worried that many audiences are aiming for Qin Fangge's reputation as the world's No. 1 tenor, but you tell me that in this opera performance, Qin Fangge actually didn't sing tenor, what the hell! He was deceived! Although it was previously revealed that the protagonist of "Don Juan" was a baritone, there were many reasons.
The reason why the baritone is chosen as Don Juan's voice in the male voice is also due to the timbre characteristics of the baritone. The baritone is a voice between the bass and the tenor, and the voice maintains the high-pitched brightness of the tenor and the richness of the bass. This kind of timbre can best highlight Don Juan's noble temperament and natural amorous character traits. Specifically, the heaviness and steadiness of the timbre can be called the aristocratic temperament of Don Juan, and the softness of the timbre can reveal his deep affection.
Coupled with the change of characters in it, the complex and changeable plot also determines that Don Juan's voice must not only maintain the breadth and brightness of the aristocracy, but also have a light and soft special, which is also the precise positioning of the lyrical baritone.
But the audience won't care about you, anyway, your world's number one tenor, you don't even sing tenor, it must be your fault!
Even Qin Fangge himself didn't dare to say that they were worrying about the sky, which was also quite in line with the reality.
The best solution that Zhou Xiuying came up with was an encore, which had to be an excerpt from a tenor opera aria, so that the audience would have nothing to say. They didn't dare to overestimate the musical literacy and quality of these audiences who came to enjoy the opera performances, and they made a fuss and shouted that they wanted to refund the tickets, and they didn't see it......
Of course, this is not only the case for domestic audiences, but also for foreign audiences, including those high-ranking officials, politicians, rich businessmen, celebrities, etc., whose mentality is actually similar.
Qin Fang didn't have a choice, but he didn't care, he sang as a tenor! There is no problem if he wants to soar to the high note C, pretending to be handsome is actually what he is best at, but he is usually not very good at performing. It's also nice to have a chance to show off, and the aria in the final encore is much easier than the whole tenor performance.
When the others packed up and left first, Qin Fangge didn't leave in a hurry, and followed to deal with the matter of stage props, which was also a problem found during the field rehearsals during the day. This naturally needs to be coordinated by the staff behind the scenes, but fortunately, the National Center for the Performing Arts attaches great importance to this opera, and it can be said that this year's Grand Theater has attracted sponsorship and fame, basically relying on the original opera independently produced by the Grand Theater! Not to mention the gimmick, the strength is even stronger, who else can support this opera if it is not praised!
Tossed until after ten o'clock, Zhou Xiuying went back to rest under everyone's persuasion, or Qin Fangge sent her home, and by the way, he also had a good rest after a busy day, and he had to continue rehearsals tomorrow!
On the way, Zhou Xiuying was quite satisfied with his performance today, and also told him, "Although this world is very realistic, it is also another benefit, as long as you have strength, you have enough confidence, and you don't have to care about those rules in the open and in the dark." If you show your strength today, the orchestra will be completely intimidated. Don't be afraid to expose your genius, in the field of music and art, if you are not a genius, no one will pay attention to it at all. ”
Along the way, Zhou Xiuying, who was in good spirits, chattered a lot with him, all of which were her experiences. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this is true of the opera industry or the entire classical music industry, which can be seen from the past experience of those musicians. Up to now, these situations will not be less, the main thing is to remind Qin Fangge to pay more attention to herself, she can help do a lot, but there will be things that are not well taken care of, and it still depends on how he handles it.
Qin Fangge nodded to show that he was humbly taught, and his attitude also made Zhou Xiuying very satisfied, he said that with Mr. Zhou's experience, he could avoid many detours.
After sending Zhou Xiuying home, Qin Fangge still didn't go home directly, and drove to Xi Wanqing, she was the only one tonight, and it was also an extremely rare time for the two.
Maybe it's really like an old husband and wife, when the two meet, in addition to intimacy, they talk about work things. But Xi Wanqing can't help it, during the day, Qin Fangge's mobile phone can't call at all, and he can only send text messages to communicate, and he will call back or message when he has time, and meeting and chatting like this is also the best way to communicate.
He was very busy this day, and what he wanted most was to take a comfortable bath. Xi Wanqing also did as he wished, but she washed it herself, and her working hours were still freer than his. In this case, she also helped him put the water, then rubbed his back and said with a smile, "It's rare for me to serve you once, just enjoy it!"
"I'm also rarely busy, there are a lot of things going on at the opera house!" Qin Fangge also enjoyed it.
"It's not easy to do opera, and it's even harder to do it well. It's okay if it's your own concert, but it's hard to bring so many people without worrying!" Xi Wanqing replied with a smile, she was still quite open.
Qin Fangge also said what he did during the day, and Xi Wanqing was a little worried about the symphony concert behind, "The level of the Philharmonic Orchestra doesn't seem to be very good, and you will have to adjust it yourself more when the time comes, otherwise, if the performance is not good, you will still lose your face, these are all things that cannot be helped." ”
After chatting about the symphony orchestra, Xi Wanqing understood that there were naturally not so many artistic things, so she didn't say too much. What she will pay more attention to is the upcoming media visit, which also requires the cooperation of the company's team, and how to do it has to be nodded and approved by Qin Fangge.
