Similar to Bai Ai's hard-line and orthodox music style, they are also very strong in handling media public relations. Before selecting the chief of this time, the relevant information of the applicants will not be disclosed, the review process, and the interview scene will not be disclosed.
The major European media have long been accustomed to the orchestra's own way of doing things, and they have begun to look for clues about this recruitment meeting, and want to observe some information about the recruitment meeting.
But... if he can be found, will Bai Ai's public relations department still have to eat?
So on May 20, 2020, when all the media reporters were still observing the relevant developments of the headquarters of Bai Ai in secret, Daniel and the second conductor of the orchestra Charles Lites were meeting in Berlin. The center held a press conference and called all these curious reporter friends.
After they all arrived... four hours! Several senior members of the orchestra, headed by Daniel, whipped their mouths there, and never revealed any important information, which made the originally enthusiastic reporters poured cold water.
"..."
Four hours of youth!
What are you taking to accompany us! ! ! !
However, what these reporters never expected at this moment is that in the headquarters building of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, which is precisely the most dangerous place, a quiet and nervous recruitment meeting is quietly launched at this moment.
All 20 applicants each have their own preparation room, led by a dedicated staff, enter the first rehearsal hall of Bai Ai according to the drawing order, waiting for performance and interview. Each of these 20 people didn't know each other's existence, and perhaps only Qi Mu "walked through the back door" to learn that there were 20 finalists in the recruitment meeting, but Min Chen did not tell him who the other 19 were.
When Qi Mu was led to the preparation room, the first thing he needed to do was to draw lots. Almost none of Bai Ai's members did not know Qi Mu, but at this moment, the young male staff member also had a stern face and did not say a word to Qi Mu.
This is the chief recruitment meeting, and the result of this recruitment meeting may produce the chief violinist of Bai Ai in the next few decades. This matter is so important that even the staff have to take 120,000 points of earnestness and care, stand up to them, and never favoritism.
In this regard, Qi Mu expressed his approval. So he nodded solemnly to the staff member, and then was ready to draw lots. But in the next second, the staff member said calmly: "Mr. Qi, you are the 20th applicant."
Qi Mu: "..."
After a while, Qi Mu asked helplessly: "I seem...have not drawn lots yet?"
The staff member bowed and said, "This is the command's default."
"........."
After the staff left, Qi Mu dumbfoundedly placed his piano case on the table in the preparation room, opened the crimson piano case, and gently took out the little princess "Edith".
This is probably the second time that Min Chen opened the back door for Qi Mu. The first time he told him there were 20 applicants, but if this is a back door, then there is probably no more aggrieved back door in the world. No!
As we all know, in such a recruitment meeting, the last applicant to play, the less dominant.
The first is the energy of the reviewer. Every applicant is destined to go through a long interview, which is a kind of pressure for applicants and even more for reviewers. So when Qi Mu enters the rehearsal hall, I am afraid that he will face a group of tired members of Bai Ai.
The second is the perception of music. No matter how beautiful music, when you listen to it for a whole day, you will inevitably feel a little tired and numb. Perhaps when the first ten applicants play, the members of Bai Ai can observe and listen carefully, but when the next ten applicants, their interest will be greatly reduced and their vision will be more demanding.
Therefore, Qi Mu, who was forced to draw 20th in the order of playing, can be said to be completely at a disadvantage in this recruitment meeting.
However, Qi Mu didn't care about it at all.
He tuned the strings calmly, rubbed the rosin gently, and then tried a little test tone in the preparation room.
When the beautiful and melodious sound of the piano penetrated through the thin door panel of the preparation room, Qi Mu absolutely did not know that a large number of Bai Ai staff gathered outside the door, mysteriously leaning at the door. Eavesdropping on the euphemistic and beautiful piano sound.
When a piece of music was over, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Little Qi's violin is really great!"
"It's really beautiful!"
"I saw that Xiao Qi was carrying'Edith' just now. Is that the little princess with a high and soft voice?!"
...
The interview review of the 19 applicants lasted a full day before it officially ended.
When Qi Mu was led by the expressionless staff to the first rehearsal hall of Bai Ai, he held his piano case in one hand and looked at the French window beside the corridor.
It was already evening, and the magnificent clouds of early summer dyed the sky into colorful and brilliant purple, and it appeared a little pink near the horizon, and the clouds as thin as cotton wool spread across the sky. Under such a beautiful scenery, there are the lush forests of Berlin, the majestic Brandenburg Gate, the long and beautiful streets under the linden trees...
"Mr. Qi, here it is."
The voice of the staff made Qi Mu wake up from the beautiful and moving scenery. He glanced at the staff in a daze, and then realized that he had reached the door of the first rehearsal hall.
An indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart. After thanking the staff member, Qi Mu walked to the door. His fingers stayed on the doorknob for a while, then he pressed and pushed away without hesitation.
When the door opened, hundreds of people in the rehearsal hall turned their eyes to the youth standing at the door. In response, Qi Mu calmly nodded slightly, and then walked onto the stage gracefully.
Mr. Dolensa and Qi Mu said before that the recruitment of Bai Ai is very peculiar, that is, no matter what kind of members the orchestra wants to recruit, all of their members will be present, and hundreds of people will review each other together. Vote to decide whether the other party will stay.
Now, the seats in the first rehearsal hall of Bai Ai are filled with members of Bai Ai according to their respective instrument groups. The left side of the front row is the first violin group, the right side of the front row is the second violin group, and the viola group, double bass group, cello group, clarinet group...etc.
Qi Mu gently put the piano case on the table aside, and then bowed politely to the crowd, not half arrogant. Then he sat in a chair and looked at everyone under the stage.
Qi Mu didn't know that his actions just now made Bai Ai's members give him a lot of points. To be able to come to the site of the chief recruitment meeting of Bai Ai, they must be the world's most famous violinists. Among the 19 members before Qi Mu, there are many prominent violinists. When they came to the rehearsal hall, no matter how restrained they were, they couldn't suppress the arrogance and complacency revealed in their bones, which suddenly made people unhappy.
Than fame, among the violinists in the last three or four years, no one dares to say that he can overwhelm Qi Mu's limelight. Compared with experience, the title of Chief Wei Ai has already killed all applicants. Compared with talent and age... these people have nothing to compare with other people's seven.
However, Xiaoqi is more modest than you!
Alas, half a bottle is shaken without a full bottle!
After sitting on the chair, Qi Mu bowed his head and met the man sitting in the middle with a glance.
At this moment, Min Chen put on a pair of low-power eyes, hiding the deep and dark eyes behind the cold lenses. There was no smile on his handsome and noble face. It seemed that he didn't know the youth on the stage. He just raised his eyes and looked at each other, and then asked: "Please tell me your brief information... Applicant No. 20. "
Qi Mu calmly responded, fluent German spit out: "My name is Qi Mu. I am 25 years old this year. I graduated from the National Ecole Conservatory of Music in Paris and studied under Reed Akkad..."
When Qi Mu finished his basic information, Min Chen held his chin with one hand and asked indifferently: "You are now the chief of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, and you know that your contract is still 11 days away. Period. What made you decide to leave Wei Ai and come to our Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra? Is it because you think Pai Ai is better than Wei Ai?"
As soon as these words landed, everyone in the room took a breath.
Even Commander Char, who was sitting next to Min Chen, turned his head and glanced at him in surprise. He didn't understand: Is there anyone in the world who would embarrass his lover like this? When facing the first 19 interviewers, Alston almost didn't bother to speak. Why did he suddenly become so sharp when he met Qi Mu?
Even if Bai Ai himself, he dare not say the phrase "Paid Ai is better than Wei Ai." If the outside media knows that Bai Ai is commanding Auston Bertram, he dare to praise such a sea mouth. The comments must have been turbulent and difficult to calm down.
Min Chen's sharp question made Qi Mu stunned. After a long time, he smiled and raised the corners of his lips, and replied gently: "No, I never think that Bai Ai is better than Wei Ai."
This answer stunned everyone in the audience.
Just listen to Qi Mu continuing: "Music has never been distinguished between high and low. Both Bai Ai and Wei Ai belong to the world's top orchestras. Their music style, music essence, and music performance may be different, but there is never a high On the other side's statement. I will come here because I think I can find the music that suits me better than Wei Ai, and find an orchestra that fits me better."
After a pause, the young man Yanli's eyebrows gradually unfolded. He smiled and said, "I think the same should be true of Bai Ai."
On the stage, the youth's answer ended here.
But under the stage, the conductor sitting at the forefront slowly took off the glasses from the bridge of his nose, raised his head and looked at the handsome and thin young man, without concealing his appreciative look.
a long time
