Chapter 528: What a coincidence(2/2)
Sun Yunfei reluctantly suggested to He Hongchui: "Be more cautious. At this time, you can't just rely on the friendship of classmates."
He Hong lowered his head and said to Yang Jingxing: "We must consider everything comprehensively."
Yang Jingxing said: "I've seen him conduct and I think it's quite suitable. I'm familiar with it and it's more convenient."
He Hongchui said to Sun Yunfei: "It's up to him. We also want to test his comprehensive ability. Merely composing music is not enough."
Sun Yunfei nodded: "Okay, let's try it first and then decide. If it doesn't work, we'll make up for it later."
Then there is the matter of the orchestra. According to Yang Jingxing’s design, the demand for woodwinds is not strong. Two flutes, clarinets, oboes, bassoons are enough, and the rest are not needed. But the brass must be fuller, and the trombone and trumpet must be fuller.
It is best to have three or four French horns each, a little more than usual, and it requires outstanding soloists.
A normal configuration for the string section is enough. There are about ten people in both groups of violins, but you need to find a relatively outstanding principal. There are no special requirements for the viola, cello and double bass, and there is no need for a harp or anything.
The percussion equipment requirements are also simple, a pair of timpani, and the playing level is relatively high. The bass drum only needs a few hits in the whole process, and the snare drum is also very easy.
Although Puyin Symphony Orchestra is a student-dominated group, although its members frequently move around, and although its average age is only around 20 years old, it has practiced a lot of masterpieces by various famous artists in the decades since its establishment.
There are many conductors, and it is common for them to perform abroad. In the first half of the year, they just won the Outstanding Performance Award at the Puhai International Spring Music Festival...
It is really relaxing and enjoyable for such an orchestra to face the creative works of sophomore undergraduate students.
However, Sun Yunfei also said something ugly up front. The teacher who serves as the chief vocalist in the group is very busy. Not to mention practicing the group, he may not have much time to be on hand to provide guidance.
Yang Jingxing was very happy. He must be a student, otherwise he would be under great pressure.
In terms of time arrangement, Sun Yunfei also had difficulties: "With about thirty hours, it shouldn't be a big problem."
He Hongchui shook his head decisively: "Too few!"
Sun Yunfei grimaced: "In less than a month, I'll show you the schedule..."
Yang Jingxing said: "There are almost thirty hours in this month, but because the school pays more attention to the world of students, do you think you can have more time after October? Director Sun, thank you."
Sun Yunfei frowned: "The busier you get to the back, the less time you have! I wish I had told you earlier, but in this situation..."
He Hongchui used a very unskilled tone of request: "Old Sun, please help me."
Sun Yunfei nodded vigorously: "Can you help me as much as you can!? Forty hours, there must be some rest time, right?"
Yang Jingxing beamed: "Thank you, thank you... can you allocate more time later?"
Sun Yunfei was very embarrassed: "I know you are the focus of this year, and I am also trying to think of a way... In this way, I will take a look at the situation on November 1, and if the effect is good, I won't have to say anything later, okay?"
Yang Jingxing nodded repeatedly: "Okay, thank you."
After some further discussion, the meeting adjourned. Sun Yunfei was sent away, and Yang Jingxing and He Hongchui discussed for a while. He Hongchui was not very optimistic, but Yang Jingxing seemed to be full of confidence.
After saying goodbye to He Hongchui, Yang Jing called Peng Yiwei.
Peng Yiwei answered the phone and called: "Fourth brother, I was just looking for you, and Jiaotong University made another appointment. We can't lose face for the 80th anniversary!"
Yang Jingxing's fighting spirit was high: "When? Come on!"
Peng Yiwei laughed: "Okay, I'll count you in and I'll let you know when the time comes."
Yang Jingxing asked: "Do you have Wei Junyu's phone number?" They are from the Puyin basketball team.
Peng Yiwei said: "Yes, are you looking for him?"
Yang Jingxing explained that Peng Yiwei felt that he had chosen the right person, he was full of expectations, and he wanted to contribute to the best of his ability.
After answering the phone, Wei Junyu was surprised: "Yang Jingxing?"
Yang Jingxing said, "Yes, I have something to trouble you. Please tell me first whether you can help me or not."
Wei Junyu chuckled: "What's the matter?"
Yang Jingxing said: "A piano concerto only needs a conductor."
Wei Junyu pondered for a moment: "...Are you kidding me?"
Yang Jingxing said: "No kidding, I just told Director Sun and he agreed."
Wei Junyu still didn't believe it: "Are you kidding me?"
After Yang Jingxing confirmed it many times, Wei Junyu decided to meet and talk.
In No. 402, North Building, Yang Jingxing waited for more than half an hour before Wei Junyu arrived. After entering, he looked at the environment and smiled at Yang Jingxing.
Yang Jingxing was unreasonable: "I'm here now, so you can help me with this."
Wei Junyu said seriously: "Sun Yunfei agreed?"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Everyone passes, please don't lose my face."
Wei Junyu then asked: "Who said that about me?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I, I know you."
Wei Junyu nodded: "No wonder...Peng Yiwei called me and he came over too."
Yang Jingxing was happy: "There is strength in numbers. Forget it, I won't force you. You can take a look at the music first to see if you are interested."
Wei Junyu nodded: "It's too sudden. Let me see if I am sure."
The conductor's perspective was different. Wei Junyu flipped through the score and asked about the general situation: "When will it premiere?"
Yang Jingxing said: "On National Day, Director Sun said he could give us thirty or forty hours."
Wei Junyu said: "Then it's just a show. When the students give instructions, they follow the lead."
Yang Jingxing said: "The orchestra is also all students."
Wei Junyu was suspicious: "It shouldn't be, the composition department and piano department... didn't help you?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I helped, otherwise this opportunity would never have come."
Wei Junyu nodded and continued to flip through the score. After flipping through it a few times, he got angry and said, "I didn't read it either!"
Yang Jingxing laughed: "Too bad?"
Wei Junyu shook his head and threatened Yang Jingxing: "To be honest, up to now, I have stood on the podium several times in practical classes... I also did it several times when I was in the attached middle school. In fact, they are all copied!"
Yang Jingxing said: "This is also my first time to write a concerto."
Wei Junyu shook his head and said bluntly: "How can you be more stressed than me? If you don't perform well, it will be my problem!"
Yang Jingxing was surprised: "Then you agreed?"
Wei Junyu shook his head again and again: "That's what I said... Since you are in the school now, I would like to give you a suggestion. Let you Lao He and Professor Li tell the school. The chief executive must be here!"
Yang Jingxing was a little disappointed: "I thought you would help with this..."
Wei Junyu said earnestly: "It's not that I don't want to... I really don't have confidence."
Yang Jingxing was angry: "You were so fierce when we played against Jiaotong University, but now you have no confidence?"
Wei Junyu also felt unhappy: "The piano even thinks you are a god..."
Yang Jingxing was annoyed: "Shit God, besides, we are no match on stage."
Wei Junyu was fierce: "Believe it or not, if the performance is not good, it will definitely be blamed on the orchestra! The key is that your status in the school is not on the same level as ours!"
Yang Jingxing was angry: "Fuck, why don't you show off your power?"
