Mo Yan can play the piano, but how can she cope with the Royal Examination with 10 people on her own?
Unexpectedly, bad things happened one after another.
I heard that the trumpet section was practicing accompaniment and music theory, and people from other music sections also came one after another. There were nearly 80 people in total. Fortunately, there are 40 members of the cheerleading team who are not willing to receive music training for the time being, or have not yet reached the examination level. Otherwise, let alone all 120 people, even the 10 people in the trumpet department would not be able to cope with it.
She first arranged for all departments to go back, and then notified the company, requesting to send more piano teachers. Unexpectedly, as early as a month ago, all the piano teachers in the company had been tested by the Silver Band on a large scale, and all the candidates were applied for. Even those who only had Piano Level 5 Junior teachers were also swept away.
It's no wonder that Mo Yan hasn't been in the job for long. In September, he was busy with the National Day competition. After the National Day, the CEO was also responsible for sorting out the company-wide National Day game records and reviewing October’s planning documents for the coaches of each team. As soon as she finished her work, Japan Tour invited her to be the coach of Minato Red Dragon.
This is only her first year as a teacher. Although her skills and expertise are beyond doubt, her experience is lacking. She never thought that she would have to make an appointment with a piano teacher.
Since my own company had no way to obtain resources, I had no choice but to shamelessly contact the competitor company, Fanyin Music Group.
"Hello, I am the coach of the Pony Band of Chen Nanfang Middle School. I would like to ask if you have any beginner piano teachers? I would like to find a teacher to help me take the Royal Level 1~4 exam."
"How many teachers do you want?"
How many teachers?
At this time, Li Moyan didn't have the budget.
She used to be a teaching assistant at Heilong. At Heilong, almost everyone was assigned a piano teacher with more than ten years of experience in taking exams as an accompanist. However, she had never been able to allocate a suitable teacher in the shortest time and with the least resources. Haven't considered it.
"The more... the more, the better!" she said.
The operator lady chuckled contemptuously, checked for a while, and then replied: "There are no low-level ones, only mid-to-high-level ones, 800 yuan an hour."
"What 800? Why don't you grab it?"
"I know you, Li Moyan, the coach of Unicorn, why don't you find a piano teacher from your own company if you think it's expensive? This is exam season, where are there so many piano teachers? You think it's expensive, but I don't think it's expensive either." Here!" The operator said to her arrogantly while getting a manicure: "Ah! Sorry, there are no more middle-level and high-level teachers. Now there are only part-time teachers of Royal Level 5, but they still cost 800 yuan an hour for one person. Each additional person will be charged an additional $100."
"Why don't you quote an even more outrageous price?" Li Moyan scolded, saying that the price is simply unreasonable.
Even the Tropicana band, which received a subsidy, could not afford it. What's more, the quality of these low-level part-time teachers themselves is uneven, and some of their on-the-spot performances are even unsatisfactory.
Li Moyan had no confidence and left the fate of the team members and the band to these immature teachers.
"Do you still want it? If you don't want it, I don't know how much the price will increase after hours!" the operator said.
"This... will you have a guarantee that the teacher will perform well in the exam? If the teacher makes a mistake..."
Li Moyan was very anxious, but the cost was too high and unreasonable.
"If I really make a mistake, there's nothing I can do about it. You get what you pay for. Why don't you try a high-end one? Their average level is Royal Piano Level 10. They have exam guarantees and discounts. They cost 2,000 each for 30 minutes. Every additional One person, extra 500."
Is this called a discount?
The price you pay is enough for a full day of private music lessons!
Only 30 minutes?
It’s so outrageous!
If the salaries of these teachers were truly calculated, they would be more expensive than the salaries of myself and all the music teachers combined. Not to mention Typhonium, even Zhou Yuli Middle School, where the White Swan band is located, may not have such a budget. ?
"let me consider it."
Li Moyan calmed down, knowing that there would be no results if he continued arguing with the operator.
Then he hung up the phone slowly.
What to do?
she whispered.
It turns out that being a qualified coach is not an easy task. Although her world ranking is better than that of Xiao Chen and Xiao Wang, they have more experience as coaches than she does. Looking back, maybe my title as CEO of the Warrior Group was not real at all.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered what her master and boss, Schubert, had said to her before she left the company: "Mo Yan, I appreciate your courage to accept Mo Warren's challenge. But I also understand that this is not just your debut." A coach can do this. I have asked Xiao Chen to copy Mo Warren’s October plan for the Unicorn Horse on your desktop. If you encounter any difficulties, just open it and refer to it. Ask for other people’s opinions."
Mo Yan sighed and looked at Mo Warren's plan in the bag.
Mo Warren is so professional, he must have discovered the problem of not making an appointment with a piano teacher in advance.
It is even possible that he has reserved a group of inexpensive teachers. With just a command from him, they will rush to the school at any time.
"Otherwise, just refer to it. Anyway, Mo Warren won't know." Just when she wanted to reach out and open it, she hesitated.
"If I really peek, doesn't it mean that I'm admitting defeat? Does it mean that I'm not as strong as Mo Warren?"
Thinking of this, I calmed down and put the plan away.
"It can only be used as a last resort. I will never give up before trying other options! I caused this problem... I have to solve it on my own!" she murmured.
So, she tried to remember when she was a teaching assistant, and even tried to recall her experience as a member of the Silver Medalist Band ten years ago, but she still had no clue.
"Your face looks very bad!"
At this moment, the sound of limping footsteps and the familiar voice came from the auditorium.
Li Moyan put away his face that was about to collapse and slowly raised his head: "Did you see it wrong?"
"Don't be so pushy, Little Pepper...you obviously don't have to go to work today, but you still come here, something must have happened." Zhou Guodong said calmly.
"No! There is no flaw in my plan!" Mo Yan still said arrogantly.
"It's about the silver band royal examination, piano accompaniment, right?" Zhou Guodong said calmly, immediately seeing through Li Moyan's calmness and confidence.
"how do you know!"
"Don't forget, I am the consultant of Silver Band. If there is something that cannot be handled, you can discuss it with me and we can find a solution together."
discuss?
Discuss with a greasy middle-aged man who is much weaker than himself and a complete layman?
Is there anything to discuss?
"No need. I will take care of it myself! You only need to take care of your administrative duties, layman!" she said.
Zhou Guodong was poured cold water on his face by her. Instead of being angry, he laughed: "Hahahaha, hahahaha!"
"Why are you laughing!" she scolded.
"No no!"
Zhou Guodong shyly rubbed his head and looked at the old photo hanging on the wall of the auditorium, which showed the band winning the Asian Grand Slam for the first time ten years ago.
Although the old photos were sealed in tight frames, they still could not withstand the moody temperature, humidity, weather, and the pranks of all kinds of bad classmates in Chen Nanfang Middle School, and became better than other photos. It fades faster and turns yellow.
The face of Ms. Chen Nanfang, the founding principal of the school and the first consultant of the silver band, could no longer withstand the torture of time and countless smudges and cleanings, and became very blurry.
"Do you still remember the first time we won the Grand Slam?" Zhou Guodong said.
Li Moyan said nothing.
"At that time, I was in the sixth grade and you were in the first grade. Although you were only in the first grade, you were already the strongest trumpet player in the team. At that time, you were only in the first grade. You still had six years to win the Grand Slam. The results were continued for at least six years. However, they stopped after only three years."
Of course Li Moyan remembered it. Of course she knew what happened in the fourth, fifth, and sixth years.
"In the fourth year, you were elected captain. You made two mistakes during the National Day competition and the Port District competition. The first was that you did not listen to Schubert's opinions during the parade. In order to chase points, you made two mistakes. During the solo, I deliberately raised it by a minor 8 degrees, but I missed it."
"Of course I know!" Li Moyan said, clenching his fists.
"Also, in that year's Hong Kong competition, because you temporarily asked everyone to raise their instruments 10 degrees, you did not see the conductor of the guard of honor. When everyone was already standing in the second song and final posture, But you walked out alone. Then you found that you were very abrupt. You forgot the temporary operation arrangements during the drill, and walked back to the team alone, making more mistakes." Zhou Guodong's words seemed to provoke Li Moyan had been hiding the stab in his heart for a long time.
Yes, Li Moyan is now a musician who is very persistent in himself and requires himself to be perfect in everything. However, everyone who knows her knows how miserable she was before. Especially the fourth year, the year she was elected captain. It was so bad that the title of the silver band of Chen Nanfang Middle School, the Unicorn Pony, the best in Asia, was handed over to the Phoenix Band of Tangdi Middle School, and it never got up again.
Everyone had high expectations for her, but they were also disappointed with her.
Members of the same class as her were harmed several times by her, so that later, bands from different periods would get together for dinner from time to time. But she was the only one who didn't invite her as the captain in her own class.
However, because of this dark history,
Only then did she realize her arrogance and overestimation, re-examine herself, and devote all her efforts to studying music and studying with Schubert. In the end, Huang Tian paid off. She successfully passed the world brass exam for several years in a row. Roca Ranking.
only……
"You think you have changed and become stronger. But...in some aspects, you have not changed..." Zhou Guodong said.
