Chapter 127 The East Concert Troupe rehearses for "Singing"(2/3)
It didn’t take long for Qiao Yinghong to reply:
"Okay, I'll arrange it. When will you need it?"
Fang Xing:
"As soon as possible. It's best to be able to accompany you live in "Song", so you need to rehearse in advance. You can try to see if you can find a symphony orchestra from Dongyin."
Qiao Yinghong:
"Okay, I'll make arrangements."
Qiao Yinghong was very efficient in her work. The next day, she negotiated an appointment with the orchestra, arranged the required instruments, and prepared to start rehearsals in the afternoon.
In the morning.
Fang Xing sent a WeChat message to Lu Xiang'er: I have found an orchestra and will start rehearsing in the afternoon. Do you want to come?
After a long while, Lu Xiang'er replied: Can I think about it? I'm worried that your performance will be affected if you don't pull well.
Fang Xing sent the company's address and asked her to come to the company to rehearse at two o'clock in the afternoon after thinking about it.
Songshi Records headquarters is not far from Tianlan Wenyuan, otherwise Fang Xing would not choose to live in this community.
…
After Lu Xiang'er received the WeChat message, she began to struggle. She was so confused that she squeezed the stuffed toy on the bed hard.
She quickly sent a message to Ning Xiaoyun, asking her to help provide advice: Fang Xing asked me to accompany him in "Song", what should I do?
Ning Xiaoyun replied a song to her: Do you want to go? Go!
Ten minutes later.
Ning Xiaoyun rushed upstairs, opened the door and said, "What are you thinking about? Of course you go. Go to "Song", why are you hesitating? Not only are you going, but you are also taking me with you."
"What?" Lu Xiang'er rolled her eyes, hugged a big white bear, and rolled around on the bed.
"Hurry up and ask him if he still needs a cello?" Ning Xiaoyun slapped her with her hand.
"Aren't you just interested in playing the cello?" Lu Xiang'er raised his head and looked at her with a troubled face.
Ning Xiaoyun has always claimed that she only learns cello to accompany Lu Xiang'er and does not practice hard.
"Yes, but I am interested in "Singing". In "Singing", there are all big names in the music industry. It would be a pity not to have a scene." Ning Xiaoyun thought very clearly.
"What if I don't pull well and he is eliminated?" Lu Xiang'er felt a heavy psychological burden when she thought of this.
"That's so simple, just use your body to apologize." Ning Xiaoyun spread her hands and gave a very powerful plan.
"What?" Lu Xiang'er's head was covered with black lines and she buried her head in the stuffed toy.
"You just think too much. You can't be so entangled in life. Just do it. Let's go! Go to rehearsal now. Whether you can do it or not will be known after the rehearsal. If you really can't play well, Pine Stone Records won't let you play.
"Ning Xiaoyun persuaded.
"That's right. Let's give it a try first. If it doesn't work, we'll give in." Lu Xiang'er got up, packed up her violin and was ready to set off.
…
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Pine Rock Records Headquarters.
Qiao Yinghong booked a training room.
The orchestra section of the First Symphony Orchestra of Donghai Conservatory of Music arrived at the company early.
This symphony orchestra was led by a professor.
Qiao Yinghong received him warmly and started chatting with Professor Li Xiuqin.
"This time I need to go to the "Song" live to accompany me. I wonder if it would be convenient?"
The First Symphony Orchestra of the Donghai Conservatory of Music is mainly composed of graduate students. In fact, there are also doctoral students, so they have their own studies and may not be able to coordinate their time.
Li Xiuqin waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, whether you want to accompany the graduates of our school or go to the stage of "Song", you have to take leave."
In fact, graduate students from art schools will also receive a lot of performance work while they are in school, and it is common for them to ask for leave.
For activities like this where the professor leads the group and the entire orchestra goes out together, the professor who leads the group will naturally make arrangements to ask for leave.
When Lu Xiang'er and Ning Xiaoyun came to Songshi Records and met Professor Li Xiuqin and the school's First Symphony Orchestra, they were both stunned.
"Hello, teacher, hello, teacher." The two of them nodded in greeting.
"You are here too, so let's practice together." Li Xiuqin had given lessons to Lu Xiang'er and they knew each other naturally.
Moreover, Lu Xiang'er has been selected as the concertmaster of Dongyin's undergraduate symphony orchestra.
The undergraduate symphony orchestra is the student orchestra that accompanied us at the welcome party.
The Dongyin undergraduate symphony orchestra is not the highest level Dongyin symphony orchestra.
Dongyin and the First Symphony Orchestra are the highest level.
The undergraduate symphony orchestra mainly performs evening performances on campus.
The First Dongyin Symphony Orchestra will take on some outing performances and is considered the face of the Dongyin Symphony Orchestra.
Of course, the level of the undergraduate symphony orchestra is actually not low.
In fact, the members of the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra were selected from the undergraduate symphony orchestra.
Students in the orchestral department of Dongyin usually practice in the undergraduate symphony orchestra for one or two years, and then enter the first symphony orchestra of Dongyin.
…
At two o'clock sharp, Fang Xing came in with the music scores and distributed them: "Here are the music scores, please excuse me."
Li Xiuqin put on the gold-rimmed glasses hanging around her neck and read the music score carefully: "Well, it's E flat major. The interlude moved to C minor, and then back to E flat major. This piece is okay, not too difficult.
.”
Popular songs are generally only five minutes in length.
The verse and chorus take up most of the time again.
The orchestra accompanies most of the time.
The time left for the instrument to play is actually only a few dozen seconds.
If it is then allocated to instruments such as violin, viola, cello, double bass, etc., the time will be even shorter.
Especially the double bass, which may only play a few notes in the entire song.
To an outsider, you would definitely feel that the double bass is paddling all the way through.
Therefore, accompaniment to pop music is indeed a relatively simple task for a symphony orchestra.
Fang Xing said modestly: "This is just the first draft. If the professor doesn't think it's good, he can help revise it."
"Don't worry, give it a try first, see the effect and then adjust." Li Xiuqin called on the orchestra to start rehearsing.
Lu Xiang'er also quickly stood next to the first violin section, looked at the music score and began to familiarize herself with the music.
The orchestra did not start rehearsing immediately, but first familiarized themselves with the music score.
The scene immediately reminded me of the sparse sound of musical instruments, mixed together, and very chaotic.
A few minutes later, Li Xiuqin clapped her hands and said, "Is everything okay? Once you're familiar with it, let's start our first joint training."
All instrumentalists get ready.
Li Xiuqin held the A4 sheet music score in one hand and moved it up and down with the other hand to conduct: "Get up! Hey! Okay! The second violin comes in, very good."
When I played it for the first time, I was not very familiar with the music, so there were some flaws in some passages.
By the third time, the effect was already very good.
It was the first time for Lu Xiang'er to play in a symphony orchestra with the highest level in Dongyin Music, and she was very excited.
It was as if she had met a strong teammate and she felt stronger, and she had a great time playing.
After rehearsing all afternoon, she didn't feel tired, but rather invigorated.
Rehearse until five o'clock.
It's almost time.
Fang Xing thanked him: "Thank you for your help, thank you."
Qiao Yinghong also held Li Xiuqin's hand and said thanks: "Thank you Professor Li, do you still have time to rehearse tomorrow? I will go to the "Singing" live recording on Saturday, so there are only four days left."
"There are several majors that have classes tomorrow. They will stop for a day tomorrow. I will ask them to go home and continue to familiarize themselves with the music score. They will rehearse the day after tomorrow to ensure the best results." Li Xiuqin promised.
She was sure of it.
The accompaniment of popular music is something that is easily accessible to the First Dongyin Symphony Orchestra.
"Then please, Fang Xing's results in the second period depend on everyone." Qiao Yinghong thanked him.
"It's easy to say, Professor Chen also said hello to me. They are all good students of our Dongyin. Of course, they will give their best." Li Xiuqin patted her chest and assured.
"Help me also say thank you to Dr. Chen. The rehearsal will be the day after tomorrow. When exactly will it be? Can you confirm it now?" Qiao Yinghong said.
