Chapter 85 Preparation
October 1st, National Day. On the 65th anniversary of the founding of China, Qin Ruoxi got up early in the morning and then came to the main hall to ask her sister to get up.
"Sister, get up!" Chen Fang went out for morning exercises, but the door was not closed. Qin Ruoxi gently pushed into the room, looking at Qin Mohan who was sleeping, with a smile on his lips, as if he was having some beautiful dreams.
"Ah! Why are you here?" Qin Mohan, who woke up, showed a surprised look when he saw the local sister in front of him.
"I'll wake you up and send me to rehearse later." Qin Ruoxi deliberately said the word "rehearsement" very seriously so that his sister knew that she had an important task today.
"You can rehearse at 8:30, so you'll call me up now, it's a bit too much." Qin Mohan looked at Zhong Cai at the head of the bed and pointed at 6:30, and couldn't help complaining to the excited Qin Ruoxi. After the premiere last night, the company held a simple cocktail party to greet all the guests. Qin Mohan and Shen Fang rushed home and were almost twelve o'clock. Although the relatives had left, she was exhausted recently and had only been resting for more than six hours and had not recovered at all.
"Mom asked me to wake you up for breakfast. Our mom made your favorite hot rice. If you don't get up, I'll finish it alone." Qin Ruoxi looked at her sister who wanted to get up and found a perfect reason to shirk her.
"Woo... you told your mother that I don't want to eat it." Qin Mohan pulled the quilt over and covered it on his head, expressing his protest.
"Sister, which green eye shadow did you use last time? Lend it to me for a while." Qin Ruoxi, who looked at his sister who wanted to continue to stay in bed, then he proposed his real purpose.
"Qin Erya, you're too much." When he was a child, Qin Jingshan opened his voice and Qin Mohan. This full of breath made Chen Fang, who had just returned from the morning exercise outside, jumped down. Then he saw Qin Ruoxi running out of the main hall in panic and running towards the kitchen. After passing by Chen Fang, he also said, "Precaution your wife." Before he could tell what was going on, Qin Mohan, with a disheveled face, chased her out of the back, and then Chen Fang hugged her.
"The ground is cold, why are you coming out barefoot? Be careful of catching a cold." Chen Fangcai didn't care why the two sisters quarreled, but cared about her body. He reached out and picked her up, and then walked towards the main hall with the princess hugging her.
"Huh~" Qin Ruoxi stood at the kitchen door and made a face at her sister, and was knocked by Xiao Nanrong who came out of the kitchen.
"Why did you call your sister up early in the morning? She came back so late last night and never had a good rest."
"Don't I want to borrow some eyeshadow for her?" Qin Ruoxi muttered, and saw Xiao Nanrong's eyes looking at him, and hurried into the kitchen from under her raised arms: "Mom, I'm hungry. I want to have a meal, and I have to go rehearse in the morning." The last two words of rehearse were specifically used to increase their tone.
"Oh, let's have a meal, I'm ready for you." Hearing her words, Xiao Nanrong was not good at cleaning her up, so she went into the kitchen to help her serve breakfast. Looking at her mother's back, Qin Ruoxi showed a sly smile.
"Why are you so angry?" Chen Fang put Qin Mohan on the bed and asked in surprise: "I haven't seen you get so angry when you get up."
Qin Mohan felt a little embarrassed. She was just dreaming that Erya was performing on stage and then won the international grand prize. But when she finally received the prize, how could she become herself? The award presenter was still calm and walked towards her step by step with the trophy in her hand. Qin Ruoxi, who was ignored, shouted there, "This is my trophy." The moment her excited hand was about to touch the trophy, she was awakened by Qin Ruoxi.
It seemed as if she had done something that she had done to her sister that she had exposed. She was embarrassed, so she drove her out while she wanted to take her eyeshadow.
After being interrupted by her sister, Qin Mohan no longer felt sleepy. She knew that today was Erya's most important day and she was not calculating about her.
"Yesterday, you confirmed who was the first best man." At the party last night, Wang Xiaocong, Hu Yi, Han Geng and Yang Yang were all there, so Chen Fang summoned them together to meet him. Originally, Chen Fang was going to be the first best man to wear a ring, but Hu Yi refused. After seeing Wang Xiaocong joining, he took the initiative to give this opportunity to Wang Xiaocong. Han Geng and Yang Yang had no objection. Being able to be the best man at the boss's wedding has already improved a lot. They had never wanted to compete with Hu Yi, let alone Wang Xiaocong.
"In the end, it was Wang Xiaocong. This kid was still willing to refuse and welcome him. He was about to knock on a bottle of wine, but I refused it righteously." Chen Fang couldn't help laughing when he thought of Wang Xiaocong's behavior last night.
Qin Mohan didn't care about the evil tastes between him, and couldn't help but stretch. After thinking about the beautiful dream just now, he couldn't help but curl his lips. How could he steal the honor of his sister in his dream? It seems that he subconsciously still thinks that the things he puts should be his own, and even his sister can't do it.
As compensation, Qin Mohan washed up, changed his clothes and went to the kitchen. He said to Qin Ruoxi, who lowered his head to eat and didn't dare to look at her, "Don't think about green eyeshadows. You are performing on a regular occasion today, and many of the audiences below are national leaders. Be more dignified and generous. After you come back from rehearsal in the morning, I will help you put on makeup, put your hair on, and be more energetic."
"I understand." Qin Ruoxi muttered dissatisfied when she heard her sister's words.
"I can make you a golden eye shadow to make you shine a little more. How about adding a diamond-inlaid crown hairpin accessory to you on your hair?" Qin Mohan's promise made her sister really excited, and even her meal speeds increased a lot.
In the morning, he had the last joint training in the rehearsal hall of the Conservatory of Music. Yu Feng was quite satisfied overall. Most of the performers below were senior students who had participated in many performances, and they were mentally mature. The only thing that made him worried was Qin Ruoxi's condition was not inferior to them.
Yu Feng, who is over 60 years old, does not understand what the post-00s desire is. In his opinion, this is due to family tutoring. He has also seen Qin Jingshan. Perhaps it is such a literary family that can cultivate outstanding sisters like Qin Mohan and Qin Ruoxi.
When she got home at noon, Qin Ruoxi pulled her sister to the room. This performance was wearing a uniform performance costume from the Conservatory of Music. Hers was a navy blue student dress, which made her complain for a long time. That's why she had to put on makeup and put on green eyeshadow. If her sister and mother were not unanimously opposed, she would have wanted to dye a colorful hairstyle.
Today on National Day, there are many artists in the company who have notices. Chen Lan was unable to support her, so she had to help her dress up. At present, it seems that she can only do her best in exquisiteness.
After lunch at home, Chen Fang and Qin Mohan first sent Qin Ruoxi to the National Grand Theater.
This dome-shaped building located behind the Great Hall of the People and surrounded by a pool of water is the famous National Grand Theater in Yanjing. It is a landmark building designed by the famous French designer Paul Andrew and built in September 2007. The round appearance makes it look like "a drop of crystal water droplets" flashing above this artificial lake.
"Chen Fang, you are here too, so come here to help." Yu Feng, who was waiting in the concert hall lounge, saw Chen Fang accompanying him and hurriedly greeted him.
Most normal symphony is mainly orchestral music, and there are not many pianos used. The instruments of orchestral music are basically carried by the musicians themselves, whether they are big guys such as trumpets, flutes, drums, or cellos. Because most musicians can better find the tacit understanding between the instruments and the musicians in their familiar instruments.
Among these instruments, the piano is the only exception. Most of the pianos used in symphony are grand grand pianos, which are not only huge in size but also amazing in weight. When performing symphony bands, they use pianos provided by theaters. Unless they are piano recitals or piano concertos, the piano players will apply to transport their usual pianos to come.
Other musicians gathered at the Grand Theater at three o'clock, and told Qin Ruoxi to arrive at two o'clock to let her try playing the piano.
"Chen Fang, try this piano, I always feel something is wrong there." Yu Feng asked Chen Fang for help to ask him to try whether the pitch of the piano provided by the Grand Theater is a problem. There are eight pianos in the Grand Theater. In addition to the piano as the main accompaniment in "Ode to the Yellow River", the other "Long March" and "Ode to the Red Flag" are sonatas mainly based on orchestral music. So if there is really something wrong with this piano, there are several other movies that can be replaced. After all, this performance is related to the honor of the college, and he hopes to be perfect.
"Okay, I'll try it." Chen Fang was not polite, and went up to play the keys one by one: "There are a few notes in the bass area, so I'll just adjust it." After saying that, he took off his coat and handed it to Qin Mohan to prepare for tuning. After all, this performance is not only important to Qin Ruoxi, but also to Chen Fang. He also wants to perfectly show his work to the world.
"Director Yu, is this appropriate?" President Chen Ping of the National Grand Theater looked at Yu Feng and couldn't help asking. He had already recognized who Chen Fang was, and he also knew that he was a rich man, singer, and musician. Some time ago, the pianist Mr. Yun Di also played the piano piece "Early Summer Nocturne" created by Chen Fang at the National Grand Theater, but piano playing and piano tuning are different things, and not necessarily every driver is a maintenance engineer.
"Director Chen, don't worry. Chen Jie often helped tune when we were in our school. Dean Jin Hailin praised his skills." He was originally going to change the piano, but since Chen Fang had already taken action, Yu Feng had to speak up and express his support.
Chen Fang just tried the tone. There was no big problem with the keys in the midrange area of this piano, but there was some pitch error in the bass area. Generally, piano performances in this area are not used much, so the tuners in the past probably didn't pay much attention. In the first two acts of Chen Fang's "Symphony of Dawn", a lot of soundtracks in the bass area are needed, so the pitch of these keys needs to be adjusted.
As we all know, there are more than 200 strings in the piano. It relies on the string, the string plate and the iron bones to be tightened. Especially for grand pianos, the total tension of the string is nearly 20 tons. These strings are pressed on the dome-shaped soundboard through the piano code, and the tension of nearly 20 tons will inevitably cause corresponding deformation on the piano. In addition, during the performance, the strings must repeatedly hit the strings. The strings are impacted by external forces and the internal stress of the material itself, which will naturally increase the tendency of pitch changes, which will cause the pitch difference.
Of course, there are other reasons for inaccuracies in pitch, but these errors have nowhere to hide in Shen Fang's ears. It took him only more than ten minutes to tune the piano.
"Little sister, come here and try it." Chen Fang called Qin Ruoxi over and asked her to sit on the piano bench to audition. Qin Ruoxi played the songs she had practiced these days, and Yu Feng found that the tone was completely fine.
"Old Yu, is the pianist of your song this little girl?" Although Qin Ruoxi's height and body size have grown, her immature temperament still reveals that she is not old.
"Yes, this is Qin Mohan's sister, she is fifteen years old this year." Yu Feng continued to look at Chen Ping's surprised expression: "Don't underestimate her. This girl has a good piano talent. She is already a student in our college and a future pianist. Maybe one day she can hold a piano concert in your Grand Theater."
"Okay, you guys are busy." Chen Ping, who was frequently hit, waved to Feng, preparing to go to several other lounges, and asked if the orchestra that participated in the performance in the evening needed any cooperation from the Grand Theater.
Qin Ruoxi trained for about ten minutes, and Chen Fang corrected several of the sounds for her. At this time, the door of the lounge opened from the outside, and a graceful and elegant middle-aged woman walked in with a female assistant. Chen Fang and Qin Ruoxi, who were originally chatting and laughing with Qin Mohan, also stopped abruptly, and they all showed respectful expressions when they saw her.
"Hello, don't be so restrained. Dean Yu, your Conservatory of Music has overwhelmed our military art this time." The visitor said to Yu Feng.
"I dare not, I dare not." Yu Feng was a little nervous: "This time we rehearsed a new song, which was just a little advantage. If we talk about the acting level, we still have a high military level, you are the finale of tonight."
"I listened to your song. It's really a rare symphony." After saying that, he turned to Chen Fang and Qin Mohan: "You have changed your name to Chen Fang now, right? We shouldn't have seen each other for more than ten years."
"Well, it's been thirteen years." Chen Fang always thought that he could be calm and calm, and not be surprised by honor and disgrace. Unexpectedly, when he saw the person in front of him, he was still excited. "You should call me Xiaoye, so it's more comfortable to listen to it."
"You guys have been sensible since you were a child, and I don't know how Mr. Jin and Aqing taught you. This is your girlfriend, oh, now you are lovers. You two caused a lot of sensation when you proposed to Chen Fang." She smiled at Chen Fang, looking at Chen Fang with a embarrassed expression and teased: "One night, we were watching the Spring Festival Gala with the old lady. When you proposed to Mo Han, my Nannan jumped up to cheer for you. Later, the old lady praised you with Nannan's father, saying that you are so young."
"Thank you, thank you Grandma Qi." Chen Fang expressed his gratitude to her.
"Mo Han, I'll give me a photo of your signature later. My Nannan is still your fan. This is something she has been talking about several times."
"Ah, I'll give it to you right away." Qin Mohan, who had been a little confused, hurriedly took out a signed photo of himself from his bag and handed it to her with both hands.
"Okay, thank you." She took it and handed it to the assistant behind her.
"You are so kind!"
"I went to Shanghai two months ago and saw Ah Qing. She looked good recently. I asked her to help her with a physical therapy." She turned to Chen Fang and continued: "It seems that the effect is good now. It is not convenient to go to Shanghai to find her for this matter. If your mother comes to Yanjing, please inform me."
"My mother is here tomorrow, I'll tell her."
"Then the relationship is good, Xiao Chu, please give Chen Fang a phone number." She arranged a few times to her assistant and told Chen Fang: "Give me a call when Aqing comes tomorrow, and I'll make an appointment with her. I want to ask her about some elderly people's conditioning matters."
After chatting about private matters, she talked about the important matters to Chen Fang: "Xiao Ye, your song has a good meaning and is close to classical symphony. If possible, I hope you can share the music score. Not only our military art, but also Philharmonic and Luyi will also hope to add some performance projects in the future."
Chen Fang looked at Yu Feng. After all, this song has part of the signature rights of the Conservatory of Music. When he found that he nodded in agreement, he turned to her and said, "When this performance is over, we will share the musical draft with you. My greatest wish is to be able to make this song known to the public."
"Okay, this courage is Mr. Jin's grandson." She praised Chen Fang, then smiled at Qin Ruoxi who was standing in front of the piano and was secretly looking at her, "I just saw you playing the piano, and you have a good talent. You should be on the show tonight. Come on!"
Her encouragement made Qin Ruoxi's excited face flush, and her originally a little nervous expression now became extremely excited: "It must! It must! I will definitely not let you down."
"That's good, she's so pretty, just like your sister. She doesn't have to go to the Conservatory of Music in the future. Our military arts is also a famous art academy in the country. I heard that your father is a soldier, and he might be able to inherit his father's ambition." He smiled at Qin Ruoxi, but when she saw Yu Feng who was anxious next to her, she knew that she could not add pressure to Qin Ruoxi at this time, and said directly: "The Conservatory of Music is not bad, I am a graduate of that college. Your brother-in-law's teacher, Professor Jin, also taught me back then."
"Well, I will definitely work hard." Qin Ruoxi promised her with a tense face, then looked at her and said nervously: "Can I take a photo with you?"
"Ruoxi!"
"Little sister!"
Hearing Qin Ruoxi's request, Chen Fang and Qin Mohan hurriedly spoke to stop them.
"What are you shouting?" She opened her mouth and said to Chen Fang, "You were even more courageous than her when you were a child." Then she took Qin Ruoxi's hand, pulled Qin Mohan over, and said to Chen Fang, "If you don't take a photo with you, you can take a photo."
With her support, Qin Ruoxi made a face at Chen Fang, and then Qin Mohan smiled and handed Chen Fang the phone to Chen Fang, and stood on both sides of her and her sister. Chen Fang didn't dare to refuse, so he took the phone and took a few steps back and helped the three of them take a photo.
"Well, the technology is OK." Seeing the photo, she nodded and said to her assistant: "You copy one, I'll take it home to show Nannan, so she can save her from saying that I'll cheat her." Then she encouraged Qin Ruoxi and left with her assistant.
"Ah...ah...ah..." Seeing that she had walked away, Qin Ruoxi couldn't help but shouted loudly, hugged Qin Mohan and said, "Sister, I'm not dreaming, I actually got her encouragement. I'm so excited!!"
"Just be excited, don't make a sound." Qin Mohan knew more than her after all: "We just took out the photo of the photo just now and put it in the album, don't spread it randomly."
"I know, sister, you're so long-winded." Then, unable to suppress your mood, he sat in front of the piano and played a song "Wild Bees Dance". This intense and wild rhythm made several students from the concert academy who had just come in to participate in the performance stare at her in surprise.
Seeing the arrival of the people one after another, Chen Fang and Qin Mohan were preparing to say goodbye. They wanted to go to Yan Film Studio to pick up Jin Shixun and his wife to their homes, and then watch the performance together.
"Listen to Dean Yu, rehearse well. After the performance is over, I will take you to have a midnight snack." Before leaving, Qin Mohan explained to his sister a few more words.
Chapter completed!
