Chapter 284: Learn the life of a choral conductor

The selection of choir candidates took two days to finally determine the final candidate, and as for the accompaniment, Wang Sidi also won it in one fell swoop with strong strength and became the piano accompanist candidate of the choir.

What made Ye Chen depressed was that when the choir rehearsed the program for the first time this time, Cui Tingyu actually asked himself to be there, saying that he could learn it, and he would develop in the army after going out in the future.

Ye Chen didn't doubt that he had him, so he went to the rehearsal room when there was no class, and watched everyone hanging their voices there, alone in a bored daze, looking at Wang Sidi talking about the piano for a while, watching Ye Ning singing songs for a while, and also looking at Ji Yan's body from time to time.

In Ye Chen's eyes, the quality of this choir is definitely first-class, of course, it is only relative to the school-level group, and if it is pulled out individually, it is not inferior at all.

The rehearsal of the first song was naturally the well-known song "March of the Volunteers", which unfolded with the piano accompaniment of Wang Sidi.

Young people are naturally full of confidence, with a loud voice, and they sing passionately.

Ye Chen was originally sitting there stealing a little laziness, but he was also driven by the momentum of his classmates, and then echoed, the longer he grew, the more energetic he became.

At the same time of singing, Cui Tingyu constantly corrected the skills that should be paid attention to when singing and how to cooperate with others to sing when singing, a national anthem that was originally relatively short, it took 20 minutes to satisfy Cui Tingyu.

Ye Chen has never participated in the choir and does not know much about the choir, but this time Cui Tingyu's teaching gave him a deeper understanding of music.

The rehearsal was still continuing, and Cui Tingyu came to Ye Chen's face, and said, "Ye Chen! How much do you know about music? ”

Ye Chen then replied: "I only know some basic knowledge, but if I am proficient, I can't talk about it, just like this kind of chorus, I don't have the right to speak at all, so even if I can write some lyrics and make a small song or something, it is not much to be proficient in music, and there are many places that need Mr. Cui's guidance in the future, and when the time comes, please don't bother me as a student." Hehe! ”

Cui Tingyu waved his hand and said, "You kid! If you have the talent in this area, don't talk like this, modesty will make people regress, since you don't know how to sing together, then I might as well give you a brief talk today, I will also review the previous knowledge, you also learn to learn things you haven't been exposed to, what do you think? ”

Ye Chen listened to it and agreed immediately, Cui Tingyu is a first-class conductor, and he has led the Chinese choir to perform abroad many times, and it is not so easy to learn a lesson from here.

"Okay, since you are willing to listen, I will tell you a good story, this choral art is a university question, it has already become a popular form of art in our country, this needless to say, from the ancient singers to sing ancient songs, and then to the current actors singing new songs, this is a fact, and it is inevitable, but the important thing in the chorus is not the person who sings the music, but the person who conducts. Singers are easy to find, but conductors are rare, which is also a definitive conclusion in our conducting world, so it is difficult to find a qualified conductor. ”

"The conductor is the soul of a choir and the core of a group's operation, so this so-called conductor is not simply like the one you see on TV waving the baton, it looks very simple, and it is not as hard as the singing actors, in fact, a qualified conductor has a lot of things, artistic literacy is a must, followed by good professionalism, organizational ability, integration, etc., in addition to the innate things, we must also summarize in continuous training, That's what a good conductor is. ”

Ye Chen nodded, he really had no contact with the choir, and Cui Tingyu's explanation made him suddenly open his mouth and make progress at a deeper level.

In the following hour, Cui Tingyu instructed the choir while explaining to Ye Chen about the importance of choral conducting and some skills.

Ye Chen once thought that Cui Tingyu had also taken a fancy to himself and let him take over his class later, but with the current situation, it was even more impossible!

Although Cui Tingyu looks like he is sixty years old, his body and bones are very strong, there are no signs of old age at all, he is alive and vigorous, and his voice is louder than that of young people when he sings.

After a fifteen-minute break in the choir, Wang Sidi came to Ye Chen's side and asked what was being discussed between Ye Chen and Cui Tingyu?

After Wang Sidi listened to Ye Chen's words, she was also very curious, but she couldn't figure out what Cui Tingyu wanted to do for a while?

If you really like Ye Chen, you can just say it directly, just let him be his apprentice, there is no need to beat around the bush so much!

Is there something else that can't be done?

Suddenly, Wang Sidi jumped in front of Ye Chen, then looked around embarrassedly, and whispered to Ye Chen: "Brother Ye Chen, Teacher Cui doesn't want you to be the conductor of our choir!" It's too exciting, otherwise it doesn't make sense! You watched that you have been with us for a few days, and you don't participate in rehearsals, just watch here, and then when you are fine, Mr. Cui will chat with you, and today I also talked to you about the command, I think it's not just as simple as accepting you as an apprentice, I think I know the purpose of Mr. Cui. ”

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Sidi and said: "What are you thinking about this girl, I am a drama major, and I can't finish my major, how can I have so much time to specialize in conducting!" However, it will definitely be able to be used when returning to the army in the future, and if this is really the case, it can also be considered. ”

It's just that these Ye Chen just think about it, after all, it is not realistic for Ye Chen now, although he has a foundation, but he doesn't know anything about choral conducting, he doesn't even know what gestures mean, and where did he get the ability to conduct such a choir, not to mention that this time the choir still has to participate in the competition, let alone be handed over to others to conduct at will.

"Xiao Wang! The piano talk just now is good, and I inherited a little talent from your teacher! Day after day, I'm afraid that you will surpass Master Cerdomon, yes, promising, what a good boy! ”

Wang Sidi didn't see when Cui Tingyu came, this abrupt sentence really startled her, and then looked at Cui Tingyu embarrassedly and said, "Teacher Cui, don't praise me, I'm embarrassed." ”

Cui Tingyu laughed and said, "You girl! Don't be embarrassed, wait a minute, I still want your brother Ye Chen to learn the life of choral conducting, Ye Chen, are you willing to learn? ”[.]
