Chapter 21: Does your mother know that you are doing this?
With Zhou Qingyun around, Jing Xiaoqiang didn't go back to the rental house the whole day.
He knew how much the foolish girl in love would like the feeling of decorating a new home, and most girls would be so moved would indulge in it.
So I simply didn't go back home at night and continued to stay in the storage room all night.
Damn it, just think of it as renting a house for her to play house.
Beauty can also be relied upon.
The next morning, when Lu Xi brought the fried dumplings over after buying them, he had already changed into a very ordinary white shirt and jeans. Because his hair was not long, he also tied it into two pigtails.
But her plain look without any makeup makes people think she is a beauty even if they only look at her from behind.
This is really well prepared.
As expected, I was treated as a family member by the doorman, who let me pass with a smile.
Seeing Jing Xiaoqiang taking time out for morning exercises with part-time musicians, she sat quietly on a stool beside the stage holding the oil-soaked bag and waiting.
The musicians from the orchestra who came in one after another immediately noticed this beauty. Some of them had good eyesight and had seen her long legs and hip skirt that day, so they immediately winked and gave hints to their colleagues.
The part-time musicians also laughed and gestured to Jing Xiaoqiang: "Let's take a break too."
Lu Xi's current image of a good wife and mother is really likable , and much less offensive than that hip skirt.
Jing Xiaoqiang called out, "Come on, let's arrange a new piece of music. I'll play the piano first, and Teacher Chen, please check if I've made any progress..."
The pianist muttered, "I'd better transcribe the music... I'll find some paper and pen later."
The others immediately took their seats excitedly. Even though a few seats were not taken, the symphony orchestra was quickly formed. Some people who were still eating breakfast did not even bother to wipe their hands.
As long as the main melody starts, other instruments should follow and circle around, which is a very demanding and interesting playing experience.
Because for those who have been immersed in musical notation for many years, there are actually some routines for what it will be like after a few bars. If it's not like this, it's most likely like that.
As a result, as soon as Jing Xiaoqiang started playing the piano, everyone's eyes lit up. The lively rhythm with a bit of playfulness was very interesting to listen to.
Even when the conductor walked to the door, he couldn't help jumping up and down to the podium, dancing and gesticulating to feel the atmosphere.
Many people think that conducting is just about tapping the beat randomly, or even putting a dog on stage. In fact, a good conductor must first be a composer and a pianist.
Moreover, for every work, the conductor must first do one thing: he must have a basic understanding of each musician's instrument. If it is a vocal work, he must know the actors and musicians' breathing patterns, and then use different gestures to give reminders to the musicians and chorus to express the different needs of the work.
This is at least the most basic professional quality.
Therefore, Jing Xiaoqiang's comprehensive skills should come from the support of the old conductor Alex.
This time, the cheerful music played by Jing Xiaoqiang obviously pleased the conductor, who was in his fifties, and it inspired him greatly.
After just one take, the pianist quickly wrote it down and asked Jing Xiaoqiang to confirm it before taking it to make a copy. The conductor had already started to make arrangements: "Bass, you can join in with the bass to provide some freshness of the bass electronic music. This song is very trendy. Xiaoqiang heard it from a friend abroad?"
Information channels are really scarce these days. Even in the most open Shanghai, we cannot compare with ordinary netizens thirty years later.
Not to mention guys like Jing Xiaoqiang who stays in Broadway, he basically would not claim the copyright for himself, and he said he heard it from foreign friends.
In fact, Jing Xiaoqiang didn't even need to respond, as everyone was already excited about the discussion.
This is the business atmosphere that a symphony orchestra should have.
Jing Xiaoqiang had time to turn around and walk to the side of the stage and ask the girl who was full of admiration: "Do you know English?"
Lu Xi raised her hand to pick up the oil dumpling and nodded proudly. The flight attendants who started working in the 1980s were really skilled, especially those who were in charge of international routes.
Jing Xiaoqiang reached out and took it and ate it, but he didn't say anything nice: "I sang it for you. The song is called, does your mother know. Does your mother know if you do this?"
The entire orchestra was actually eavesdropping, and when the two of them started talking, they all lowered their voices while discussing the song.
But this time, it’s really a turtle going to school on a part-time basis…I can’t help laughing.
They all burst into laughter, and after the conductor confirmed it, they began to sway as if to warm up.
Everyone is looking forward to it.
Lu Xi still doesn’t believe it…
There will be such a song?
Is this what you meant by translation?
The quality of the people in Shanghai is still high. Most of them can speak English. It is a Western orchestra, and many of them have inherited this tradition from their families.
Sure enough, after the music score was distributed to everyone, Jing Xiaoqiang wiped his greasy hands and drank a sip of water. This time, he was not allowed to play the piano, so he had to pick up a guitar and play a simple chord. He did not practice seriously, but as long as he put his heart into it, he would surely become proficient quickly.
The same piece of music can be performed very differently by four people in a jazz band, an entire symphony orchestra, or by different orchestras.
Performances themselves put people in a state of excitement. The conductor often bursts out passion and ideas during the performance that were not in rehearsal. Therefore, the performers must pay attention to the conductor's actions on the stage and cooperate with the conductor tacitly. Once the conductor makes a decision that was not in rehearsal, the performers must react quickly and express it immediately. This kind of impromptu performance is often quite wonderful and can never be repeated.
Today, faced with a completely new and interesting piece of music, the conductor became visibly excited.
It was completely different from Jing Xiaoqiang's dry piano solo just now.
The beginning is cheerful and naughty...
Drums, orchestra, and then the bass to deliberately destroy the serious atmosphere.
It doesn't mean that a symphony orchestra absolutely does not allow bass and the like.
The entire orchestra is like a dish, each instrument is like seasoning or side dish, but the main ingredient is still Jing Xiaoqiang's singing.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone started to sing in a surround sound: "You are so hot, why do you tease me? "
"No matter how lonely you are, I can't take my chances with a girl like you."
“This is my bottom line…”
"I can see the affection in your eyes..."
The English lyrics are simple and easy to understand, and the girls who can understand them will gradually widen their eyes!
Then be surprised!
Everyone wanted to laugh but held it back.
"Because you are just a little girl..."
"I could dance with you, or chat with you, and maybe joke around..."
"But does your mother know you're out playing?"
"Little girl, calm down."
"If you think it's funny..."
"Do you think your mother knows you're doing this?"
First, the serious first violinist, a girl with quite an elegant demeanor, couldn't help laughing so hard that her hands were shaking, and she waved her hands vigorously and sat down.
The conductor gestured to her in dissatisfaction and forced her to stand up again, but she couldn't do it. One after another, the musicians couldn't help shaking their shoulders and putting down their eating utensils.
so funny.
Jing Xiaoqiang is obviously only eighteen or nineteen years old. To be honest, he is still a little immature in front of Lu Xi. The twenty-one-year-old long-legged stewardess is more mature and stable.
As a result, the stewardess's eyes were full of admiration and obsession, which made Jing Xiaoqiang sing to her face like an old man lecturing her, and he also used Italian gestures while lecturing.
So appropriate!
One even wonders if Jing Xiaoqiang made up the words on the spot to amuse the little girl.
Moreover, this kind of narrative song uses a serious tone to make fun of the content. Later, several choirs and symphony orchestras in China also played similar jokes.
In fact, Broadway has had this trick for a long time.
This song, which was supposed to appear in 2008, became really famous for being used in Mr. Bean's funny scenes.
Now it feels like if all the people in the orchestra were to watch the show live, there would be no way they could continue playing.
If Zhou Qingyun were here, it might be a different feeling!
Fortunately, the pianist quietly turned on the tape recorder before transcribing the score.
Because Jing Xiaoqiang unexpectedly sang a chorus alternating between male and female voices!
It is to create a scene of fun with both men and women, and reject such a pure and innocent good girl.
It feels like everyone is having fun with Jing Xiaoqiang, so please help him persuade the girl not to come, okay?
Jing Xiaoqiang sang with a lot of body language, so he asked if it was funny.
Fortunately, the pianist insisted on staying with me until the end.
The conductor raised his hands high in dissatisfaction, closed his eyes and thought about how to control the rhythm of the entire piece.
The questions for applying to the conducting department and the composition department of a music conservatory are the same.
Most of the people who arrange music for singing shows are this type of people.
They are the only chefs who are best at cooking various ingredients and seasonings.
Most of the other musicians were looking forward to the beauty's reaction.
As a result, Lu Xi opened his somewhat blank eyes wide and kept looking at Jing Xiaoqiang.
Jing Xiaoqiang had no choice but to sing the last line again, "Does your mother know that you're out?" while looking into her eyes.
Lu Xi seemed to wake up from a dream, clapping her hands vigorously, her face finally out of the play and back to the state of admiration, clapping her hands vigorously: "Great! Beautiful! Really beautiful! Is this a song written specifically for me?"
I put my hands on my chest when I said this, I was really excited, excited and proud.
Everybody laughed a little. Xiaoqiang was expressing his feelings through singing. He was expressing his attitude through singing. You were totally unable to react to it. Do you still think it's romantic?
Jing Xiaoqiang really wants to open your beautiful head and see if it’s filled with tofu dregs!
Sing it again with emphasis: "Does your mother know that you're out?"
The pianist and drummer immediately followed suit!
Many people were not as focused and quick in reaction as they were, but they all subconsciously picked up their instruments and tried to cooperate.
Lu Xi finally reacted: "Oh oh oh, I see, I see, I'll call my mother over right away, are your parents coming too?"
The rehearsal room was quiet for a few seconds.
Everyone burst into laughter!
The concertmaster, who was always so elegant, laughed so hard that he slipped off his chair.
Jing Xiaoqiang fell down with his head covered, not wanting to pay any attention to this stupid roe deer!
Only the commander who opened his eyes was dissatisfied. What are you guys playing? "Alright, alright, let's do it again..."
