Chapter 352: Breaking News! Commander Falls Ill
Wan Qian was stunned, Hong Liu was stunned, and Song Ming was also stunned.
"No, wait, what are you going to try?"
Xu Nuo said in a deep voice: "Mr. Cao can't conduct, but it's a pity that this program is not on today. I want to conduct in place of Mr. Cao."
Wan Qian said without hesitation: "What a joke, have you learned to conduct? Who can conduct in place of Mr. Cao in the Magic City Symphony Orchestra?"
"Xiao Xu, it's a good thing that you want the program to be broadcast normally, but as far as I know, the Magic City Symphony Orchestra is arrogant. Even those famous conductors in the country, they don't look down on you. If you are the conductor, they won't listen at all." Song Ming also persuaded.
He has dealt with the Magic City Symphony Orchestra several times and knows that the status of this orchestra is transcendent, and they only talk about music. They don't give face to ordinary people at all.
"I have learned to conduct, and I am confident that I can conduct well."
Hong Liu looked at him in a daze, "How come you can do everything?"
"I want to try." Xu Nuo said firmly.
If this piece of music cannot be used in the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, it may be the biggest regret of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.
None of the three knew how to be a conductor, so they could only go back to Cao Xiu to explain their intentions.
Cao Xiu opened his eyes, "Xu Nuo, right? You want to conduct the Magic City Symphony Orchestra?"
"Grandpa, I want to try."
Cao Xiu said weakly, "You have to know that to be a conductor, it is not enough to compose music and know some instruments. You have to have..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Nuo replied, "A conductor must have absolute pitch and can accurately judge every note. The conductor himself is a tuner."
Cao Xiu took a breath and nodded, "Yes, with a team of hundreds of people, you must know who made a mistake at the first time. This is very difficult."
Xu Nuo squatted down, "I know, I am confident about this."
Cao Xiu looked at him in surprise, "You have absolute pitch?"
"Yes."
Cao Xiu nodded, "You are worthy of being the youngest master composer. Do you know how to be a conductor?"
The master did not directly let him be the conductor, but continued to ask questions, which was equivalent to a test.
Xu Nuo also saw this, and he continued: "Absolute pitch is the first step. The second point for a conductor is that he must be proficient in an instrument, preferably the piano, because the piano can help the conductor build the structure of the entire song. My piano level is not a master, but it can also reach a professional level."
"What else?" Cao Xiu continued to ask.
"The third point is that the conductor needs to have a strong inner hearing. In simple terms, it means that when you get the score, you can immediately build a sound building in your heart, predict the effect of the work in advance, and design the treatment plan of the music in advance, and arrange the relationship between each part."
"The conductor also needs to have a strong memory. Some symphonies are as long as an hour, and the powerful conductor conducts the whole process by memory. The conductor needs to have a prediction of the music behind, and the gestures are given in advance. Even if you can't recite the whole score without missing a beat, at least you can understand all the parts of the whole song."
Xu Nuo answered fluently and made the conductor's requirements clear.
Song Ming and others were all confused. No way, you are a composer, how can you talk about the work of a conductor so clearly?
They don't understand conductors, and just listen with a blank face.
At this time, Cao Xiu was already a little skeptical. Xu Nuo was a composing genius, and he had naturally heard of him. He provided the score for "Shanghai Beach" before, and also provided them with a lot of ideas.
In the conductor circle, there are geniuses who have transformed from composers to conductors.
But he was still a little hesitant.
Xu Nuo saw his hesitation and said sincerely: "Grandpa Cao, I want to try."
Cao Xiu was still thinking, and the band leader Du Tao was not happy.
"In theory, you have mastered a lot, but conducting an orchestra is far from as simple as you think. I have been working for so many years, but I haven't been able to learn half of the level of the old man. Now I am not qualified to be a conductor." Du Tao's words were full of dissatisfaction.
The conductor of the symphony orchestra used to be the band leader, that is, Du Tao.
This time the old man was not feeling well, and he also volunteered to conduct the music, but the old man always disagreed.
He could understand if he disagreed, but Xu Nuo suddenly appeared and said that he would conduct the music, which made him unbearable.
Cao Xiu was still thinking with his eyes closed.
Xu Nuo said, "Old man, I wrote this piece of music. I know the rhythm of every part, and the piece is very short, only more than three minutes. If you don't believe it, I can conduct it once and let you see."
Generally, the music of symphony is very long, starting from 20 minutes, but this piece is only more than three minutes, and the temporary rehearsal will not delay too much time.
Cao Xiu opened his eyes, his voice a little tired, "Then give it a try."
"Teacher!" Du Tao was anxious.
Cao Xiu raised his hand, "No need to say more, cooperate with me."
Du Tao was helpless and glared at Xu Nuo with dissatisfaction.
The doctor brought a wheelchair and pushed Cao Xiu to the rehearsal area.
Du Tao called the orchestra together, "Conductor Cao is unwell, our master composer Nuoyan is going to take his place, everyone please cooperate."
The word "master composer" was particularly heavy in his tone. , not without a hint of sarcasm.
The hundreds of people in the symphony orchestra were in an uproar.
The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra is not just any cat or dog, there are few orchestras that can surpass them.
Grandpa Cao Xiu is the key to success. Occasionally, other famous conductors will come to conduct them, but who are they?
They are all recognized famous conductors, so what is Nuoyan?
Some people expressed dissatisfaction at that time.
Du Tao looked pleased and glanced at Xu Nuo without saying anything.
Cao Xiu raised his hand and wanted to speak, but he started coughing.
"Teacher, are you okay?"
Cao Xiu's voice was a little weak, but his tone was firm, "Cooperate with Nuoyan well."
Du Tao stood up helplessly, "Did you hear me? Everyone cooperate well."
Xu Nuo didn't say anything. It's useless to say anything at this time.
It's up to each of us to do it.
Everyone quickly gathered, hundreds of people gathered in place.
Du Tao raised his hand and said perfunctorily: "Please conduct on stage."
Xu Nuo nodded and took over the baton from Grandpa Cao Xiu.
Standing on the podium, Xu Nuo took a deep breath.
He is proficient in singing on stage, playing piano and guitar is no problem, and he has also been a host, but this is the first time he has been a conductor.
But he was not worried at all, because he was a cheater.
He could not conduct, but he could cheat.
When he closed his eyes, he secretly called up the system.
One minute, two minutes...
Du Tao was already impatient, and when he was about to speak, Xu Nuo opened his eyes.
Xu Nuo held the baton in his right hand and raised his left hand.
Everyone focused on him.
The baton was raised up, then pressed down, and after several consecutive times, the music began to sound.
Xu Nuo frowned, "The violin is one beat late, and the clarinet is tuned up. Don't be stunned! Let's start again."
Du Tao was a little depressed. He was distracted just now, and when he saw the hand gesture, he was already one beat late.
Being scolded by a young man like this made him very unhappy, but he couldn't say anything.
Wrong is wrong.
Xu Nuo put away the baton and started again.
This time there was no problem at the beginning, but later, I don't know if they did it on purpose or didn't cooperate well, anyway, it was a mess.
Xu Nuo couldn't help but look at Mr. Cao Xiu.
"Criticize as you want." After saying this, the old man half-closed his eyes to rest.
Xu Nuo nodded. Since the symphony orchestra wanted to test him, don't blame him for scolding.
Xu Nuo put away the baton and started to scold people, "What is the guitar doing? Don't you know it skipped a measure?"
"And you, the piano skipped three measures, are you in a hurry to get off work?"
"The viola didn't even play the right notes, it was out of tune, do you know?"
"The famous Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, which is known as the No. 1 in China, is at this level? I'm very disappointed"
Xu Nuo started to scold people, but no one was angry.
"No. 1 in China" is the title they like to hear the most.
Among the domestic symphony orchestras, who is the No. 1? The Philharmonic Orchestra is mentioned the most, and the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra is rarely ranked first.
This sentence directly dispelled most of the hostility.
Regardless of how good this person is, at least he has a very good vision.
Although they were scolded, everyone was still happy.
This is the art of language.
Du Tao also began to smooth things over, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's mainly because we just changed the conductor, and everyone is a little uncomfortable with it."
"Let's do it again. If it still doesn't work, I think this program can indeed be cancelled."
"Don't worry!" Du Tao patted his chest and promised.
From the few moves just now, it can be seen that Xu Nuo does have the ability to conduct. He can find any mistakes in the first place. In front of such an expert, there is no need to be clever.
Xu Nuo's face eased a little, "Start again."
This time, the effect is much better.
What's more surprising is that Xu Nuo's conducting gestures are exactly the same as Grandpa Cao Xiu's!
There are many conducting gestures, except for the same gestures for clapping, all other gestures are different.
Cao Xiu has opened his eyes and looks surprised.
Xu Nuo walked off the stage, "Grandpa, how is it, is the performance okay?"
Cao Xiu nodded, "Better than Du Tao."
Du Tao looked embarrassed.
"Have you seen my performance before?" Cao Xiu couldn't help asking.
Xu Nuo nodded: "I was interested in symphony before, I have seen your performances and watched your videos."
Du Tao couldn't help but complain: "Just watching the performances can be almost the same as the teacher's conducting, what kind of monster is this."
Cao Xiu was also stunned for a while, "Are you interested in joining our orchestra?"
Xu Nuo shook his head: "I am a half-baked person, how dare I show off in front of you, if you are not unwell, it would definitely not be my turn today."
"Du Tao."
"Here!"
"Cooperate with Xiao Xu in the performance today!"
"Yes!"
Du Tao was also convinced. Not only could he find out every mistake, but he also had a perfect grasp of the rhythm. He thought it was Cao Xiu himself standing on the stage.
Song Ming and Wan Qian and others were stunned. The Magic City Symphony Orchestra actually recognized Xu Nuo as the conductor.
When the news spread, it was another big earthquake.
