Chapter 378: Rehearsal 1
After chatting for a while, Chen Xieyang raised his wrist and looked at his watch.
"Ye Zi, it's almost time, let's go, we'll talk after the rehearsal." As he spoke, Chen Xieyang stood up.
"Okay, Mr. Chen." Ye Zi also got up and picked up his guitar.
"Hmm...... There are a few words I would like to warn you of beforehand. With his hand on the doorknob, Chen Xieyang stopped, considered the words and tone and said softly: "Ye Zi, you are Sun Yun's disciple, that is also my disciple, so ...... If there is anything I have to say, I will tell you directly, and I don't need to pass it on to Sun Yun. ”
"Yes, Mr. Chen, please speak."
"Okay." Chen Xieyang nodded: "Tell me the truth, how is your current performance level?" Are you sure about this piece? ”
"Teacher Chen, what are you ......" Ye Zi was a little puzzled.
Chen Xieyang let go of his right hand on the doorknob, pressed Ye Zi's shoulder, and said softly: "This time, the scale of the 'Shencheng Spring' is very large, and it is the most valued session in the past years, and many heavyweight guests from all over the world have been invited to watch the performance. ”
"A while ago, the leaders of our major theaters and troupes were convened to hold a meeting, and the major groups were required to ensure the quality of every performance, and to ensure that nothing goes wrong. So you see, we've been rehearsing since March. ”
Letting go of the hand pressed on Ye Zi's shoulder, Chen Xieyang shrugged his shoulders: "This is the characteristics of China, and our orchestra has nothing to do but follow the above requirements." I pulled you over to rehearse so early, you don't have any ideas in your heart. ”
"Teacher Chen, I can understand, it's nothing." Ye Zi smiled and said softly.
The look on Chen Xieyang's face became solemn little by little.
"It's best if you think like that. Anyway, it's good to start rehearsing early, practice makes perfect. ”
"But you have to be mentally prepared."
"After a little rehearsal, I'm going to take a good look at your professionalism, and I won't take any extra care of you, there's no emotion to talk about. If it doesn't meet my requirements. Even if Valentine came forward in person, I wouldn't let you perform on stage. Ye Zi, this time the situation is completely different from before, all performances of a caring nature will be cancelled, and every performance must be done with real kung fu. So...... Hope you understand that. ”
Chen Xieyang didn't say everything, but Ye Zi already fully understood.
Ye Zi still smiled, his expression was calm and natural, and he nodded lightly.
"Teacher Chen, you don't need to give me any special care. I will not disgrace you and my teacher. ”
"Oh? So confident? Chen Xieyang was very interested.
After knowing the high standards and strict requirements of this "Shencheng Spring", and Chen Xieyang's strict inspection of his professional level during rehearsals, he can still say these words in front of Chen Xieyang, Ye Zi's confidence in his classical guitar performance level is not ordinarily strong.
Does he have so much self-confidence?
Is there really one, or is it the kind of ignorant teenager who doesn't know the sky? If so, where does his confidence come from?
Is it really as Sun Yun said, the child in front of him who is not yet twenty years old is really a rare genius of classical guitar playing?
Chen Xieyang has seen countless geniuses with his own eyes for decades, and he knows the kind of appearance of most geniuses. The two have met since today. Ye Zi has always maintained a respectful and respectful attitude of words, which made Chen Xieyang feel good, but he never saw the shadow of that genius in Ye Zi, until this time Ye Zi suddenly burst out of this strong confidence.
That's a little bit of a genius.
But that's not enough! It's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out and slip around.
"Ye Zi, these performers in our troupe have a very good professional level, and they are all very proud. If they think you're not good enough, you'll be dead and unwilling to play, and even I won't be able to direct them at that point. Chen Xieyang said again.
Ye Zi still just smiled. Calm and easy.
"Teacher Chen, Ye Zi doesn't dare to say big things in front of you, but I am still familiar with Mr. Valentine's work."
"I'll work well with the musicians in the group."
"Oh? Good. Young people just want to be confident, then I can rest assured. Chen Xieyang patted Ye Zi's shoulder: "Let's go, they should have arrived." ”
It was close to two o'clock in the afternoon.
In the rehearsal hall, all the fifty or sixty performers of the Shencheng Symphony Orchestra who came to participate in the rehearsal have arrived. They sat in their familiar places, sorting out the instruments or sheet music in their hands, and whispering to each other in twos and threes. In the air of the rehearsal hall. The sporadic sound of instrument tuning and the hum of whispered conversation echoed.
"Hey, have you all heard? The soloist this time is said to be a child, and I heard that he is not even twenty years old. Miao Junkai, the musician of the first violin part, whispered.
The companions around him immediately laughed at him: "Xiao Miao, the news of your inquiry is long outdated, it's time to be laid off." Even I know that his name is Ye Zi, he is only nineteen years old this year, he is a good popular singer, and he seems to be on the list recently. ”
"Popular singer?"
Miao Junkai was furious, the bow slammed down, and the violin let out a scream as ugly as a chicken: "What are popular singers doing here with us?" Did he study music? Can popular and classical be the same? What international jokes? Lao Chen, what are they thinking? ”
"Cut, what do you care about? Is this something you should be worried about? A girl with a second violin voice sitting behind Miao Junkai said: "If you don't want to go to other people's homes, didn't you say that you also learned classical guitar when you were a child?" ”
"Huh, when I don't dare? As long as Lao Chen agrees, I will go immediately, who is afraid of whom? Miao Junkai immediately fought back.
Miao Junkai is not very old now, only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and it has not been a few years since he graduated from the Shencheng Conservatory of Music, and it is the time when no one pays attention to his youth and frivolity. However, his level of work is really good, and he is now challenging for the first violin part of the deputy principal, and he is likely to get this place in this year's annual audition.
The companions all chuckled.
"Come on, Xiao Miao, it's not like you haven't seen your level, so don't take it out and show it. Since the children dare to come, they must have some work on their hands, otherwise they really come here to make a fool of themselves? ”
"That's true, but it's hard to say. Do you remember that trumpet prince the year before last? At that time, the rehearsal almost disgusted me, and I was almost forced to do it, but I actually let him perform on stage later. ”
"Mm-hmm, it's disgusting, but don't take care of it like that again, you don't have to spoil classical music."
"Come on, come on, listen to me, let's take a good look first." Miao Junkai gathered everyone and said softly: "If this kid really has goods in his hands, then we will help him well." If it's like the trumpet prince, hey, hey, everyone knows it, right? ”
"Xiao Miao, you're bad! If you don't play the piano well, you're not afraid of Lao Chen picking up your skin? Do you want to be promoted to deputy chief? ”
"Hey, what's that your name? If he is not qualified, we still want to help him with all our heart? How can it be? I think that's it, Xiao Miao is right, not everyone is worthy of cooperating with us, we have to weigh his weight first. ”
"That's right, that's right, let's see first."
……
Standing in front of the entire orchestra, dozens of pairs of eyes stared straight at him, Ye Zi was still smiling calmly. The guitar has been removed from the bag and held in his left hand.
"It's quiet." Chen Xieyang clapped his hands.
"Let me introduce to you, this one is Mr. Ye Zi personally invited by Mr. Valentine, and the solo part of the Mallorca Concerto will be performed by Mr. Ye Zi."
"Everyone's applause."
As he spoke, Chen Xieyang took the lead in applauding, and there was a burst of applause in the rehearsal hall.
Chen Xieyang's introduction was very cautious.
first said that Ye Zi was personally invited by Valentine, which first affirmed that Ye Zi must have good performance skills, otherwise Valentine, the composer, would not have invited Ye Zi. This is very important to the proud musicians who have applied for the exchange.
At the same time, Chen Xieyang did not habitually refer to Ye Zi as a "performer" when he introduced, nor did he introduce his teacher's background, but simply called him "Mr. Ye Zi", which was to relieve pressure on him.
Before the rehearsal, any excessive praise and introduction to Ye Zi would not be a good thing, such a mistake would not be possible for the experienced Chen Xieyang to make.
Ye Zi is too young, his qualifications are too shallow, and his previous experience with the orchestra is even more zero, how can he gain the trust of others? This time, if you want to work with the orchestra, you have to conquer these musicians first.
Since this is the case, then more verbal introductions are useless, and all the qiē can only be done when the real chapter is seen during the rehearsal.
If Ye Zi really has the skills of a "performer", he does not need Chen Xieyang's introduction after rehearsal, and others will also wear the title of "performer" on Ye Zi's head. If Ye Zi doesn't have such an ability for the time being, Chen Xieyang will directly call him a "performer", which is not helping him but harming him.
The same is true of the origin of the teacher, as long as Ye Zi can pass the current level, it is easy to say. If you can't get past this level, Chen Xieyang just introduced him as a personal disciple of the late Master Segovia, which is not easy to do.
Now such an introduction is just right.
In just such a short two-sentence introduction, Chen Xieyang can be described as well-intentioned. (To be continued.) )
