"Two young conductors from the Conducting Department of Yenching University of Music won the gold and silver medals respectively in the 'Gustav Conducting Competition' held in the United States, which has a history of more than 100 years and is known as the 'Olympics of the music industry', and the conductor is also the diamond ...... in the crown of music."

This news shocked the whole country!

Since the 50s of the 20 th century, the relations between the two most powerful countries in the world, China and the United States, have become more and more tense, and the Cold War sentiment between the two sides has become more and more serious.

China is a country that loves music, but such a blockade has forced them to "close off the country", and many outstanding musicians have gone to the West to perform and compete, and due to political reasons, they have all returned home. However, this time the grand prize is very angry and curious! What kind of miraculous skills did these two young conductors have that allowed Westerners to put aside political prejudice and give this huge gem to China?

Don't say that the people are happy, even the head of state of China is also very happy, he ordered all departments, this is a great joy, a big opportunity, must be greatly publicized!

All departments know that this award is not easy to come by, and they also know that this award will have a huge impact on culture and politics. In addition to the overwhelming news and publicity, they also arranged a national tour of the two conductors, and even planned to go to a sister country in China to embark on a world tour.

The first stop of the tour was in Yanjing, the capital of China, and the State Guest Auditorium, where almost all the dignitaries and celebrities of China attended, and it was held as a prosperous era for the whole country.

This time, there are five young conductors who participated in the Gustav Conducting Competition, all of whom are from Yenching University, and what is even more rare is that in addition to the two who won the gold and silver medals, the fourth, fifth and sixth places were all won by Chinese conductors, which is really a great relief! There is only one Mi from the top six!

Therefore, in order to commend them, today's party is arranged for two halves, in which four, five, and six can each perform a piece on stage, the silver award winner, Pan Dehou, will be able to conduct two pieces, and the four people will each share the first half, and the winner of the gold award, Le Zhengjun, will take the second half alone.

After an impassioned speech by the head of state, the performance officially began.

At the same time, the winner of the gold medal, a 20-year-old sophomore in the conducting department of Yenching University, Le Zhengjun, was sitting backstage, leaning on the sofa and smoking a cigarette.

"Ah Jun, aren't you going to listen to the performances of other students in the audience?" Le Zhengjun's friend in the academy, Xiao Huang, who studied in the composition department, said.

"Xiao Huang, why should I go?" Le Zhengjun put his feet on the table and lay down comfortably, "I'm the winner of the Gold Award, is it necessary to listen to them?" ”

"Don't say that, I'm more or less a classmate." Xiao Huang said.

Le Zhengjun spat out a puff of cigarette and said, "Even if I treat them as classmates, they don't know what to think of me." ”

Xiao Huang said: "I know that you have a conflict with Pan Dehou, but other people have no grievances with you, why don't you go?" ”

Le Zhengjun shook his head and didn't speak. Of course he won't go, because although he is the pride of the sky in music and has never been afraid of anyone, but Le Zhengjun's family is actually not rich, and Pan Dehou's father is a high-ranking official in China. Le Zhengjun is naturally not easy to bully, and gave Pan Dehou a response through various channels, the two can be said to have a deep grudge, this time Le Zhengjun won the gold medal in one fell swoop, and Pan Dehou ranked second, you can see how angry the latter should be.

On an occasion like this, the dignitaries and celebrities who came, Pan Dehou must know at least half of them, right? If he went down, Pan Dehou would inevitably embarrass him, and Le Zhengjun simply didn't go.

Soon, the music was over, the intermission was over, and it was about to be Le Zhengjun on the stage, so Le Zhengjun walked out of the dressing room, sorted out his suit, and walked towards the front desk.

When he got on the stage, the whole orchestra stood up, and the audience also stood up, applauded and cheered at him. At this moment, he knew that he was the pride of the country! Le Zhengjun puffed up his chest and walked onto the command platform.

At this moment, Pan Dehou in the audience suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet, please be quiet." Before Le Zhengjun's performance, I would like to say a few words from my heart. This time, our group of five people, the reason why we were able to achieve such good results, all the credit, should be attributed to our gold medal winner, Le Zhengjun! In the conservatory, he is a star, and we can only look at his genius and his skills, which also whips us to constantly chase him and inspires us to struggle. And he cares for us, and always answers our questions about music......"

Le Zhengjun stood on the stage, it was not easy to have a seizure, and he scolded in his heart when will this guy's hypocritical words be said? Forget about the others, you Pan Dehou will look at me like this? It's really good at showmanship.

“…… Next, let's quietly enjoy the performance of this conductor and future master who shocked the Western world! After Pan Dehou finished speaking, he sat down slowly.

Le Zhengjun exhaled, once he stood on the stage, he would not be affected by anyone, he only had music in his heart.

Le Zhengjun held the baton in his right hand and raised it slightly, the orchestra was all ready, the string orchestra set up the bow, the woodwind and brass musicians matched their mouths to their instruments, and the timpani player in the back held the drumsticks, everyone stared with bated breath, looking at Le Zhengjun's gestures, the audience was so quiet that they couldn't even hear a sound.

Le Zhengjun was not in a hurry to start, he took the baton and struck three times on the conductor's board, which was to tell the orchestra the beat at the beginning.

Le Zhengjun gently raised his hands, slightly above his head, and after a short pause, he suddenly exerted force, and his hands quickly waved down! The moment his hands reached the bottom and were about to be lifted upward, the whole orchestra, all the instruments, sounded in unison.

"Deng!"

"Deng!"

Two bursts of sounds, heroes appear!

The second violin and viola played a soft tremolo, and the melodious cello and calm double bass lyrically sounded the hymn of the hero!

The great music saint, Beethoven's Third Symphony - "Hero"!
