Ninety thirty a.m.

The auditorium of the Haishi Conservatory of Music was almost completely seated, and the words "Seminar of the 7th National Music College Opera Competition" were scrolled on the LE electronic light board in the hall.

At this time, the host was speaking, and it was still the same set of opening statements.

When Qin Jian hurriedly arrived, his speech was almost over, and he casually found a corner spot and sat down.

Then he sent the same message to Li Shuang and everyone in the group, "I've arrived." ’

He didn't know much about the vocal opera competition, so he listened very carefully.

Under the reading of the vice chairman of the organizing committee, he learned that the judges of the opera competition are not only singers and conductors.

Just like the ten judges of this competition, they are composed of four international conductors, three well-known music critics, two theater managers, and one singer.

This took him by surprise.

At the end of the speech, the committee invited David Sri Lanka, the representative of the jury, to give a speech.

As the manager of the National Theatre in Amsterdam, he not only talked about the international market of opera, but also taught the young opera performers a good lesson.

"The competition is a stop in the long process of hard work, an opportunity to maybe get recognition and more opportunities. ”

Qin Jian agreed.

"But just because you win doesn't mean your career is on the line. ”

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and the translation was in place.

David said.

"I often participate in the judging of competitions, and I have found a lot of potential opera singers in the competition, and they have conquered me with a simple aria, but it is a pity. ”

"When these contestants who won the big prize came to the real end, their performance was not even as good as some amateur narrator on the assembly line. ”

"I have to remind you that you're chasing sound, sound, sound!"

The interpreter spoke three times in a row.

"You have to tell yourself at the same time to act! to act!"

"Some of the academic singers are a conductor's nightmare when they rehearse in the theater. ”

"Perfect sound, stiff performance. ”

"The combination of cow dung and flowers. ”

"It's too bad. ”

David's passionate speech was vividly translated, and while everyone was happy, they also had to ponder these questions.

Then, the German mainstream media opera critics also spoke.

She talked about the current international mainstream vocal opera competitions and a guide to studying abroad.

Finally, before closing, she brought an invitation to the Deutsche Welle International Vocal Competition.

"The top three teams from this competition will receive tickets to Germany at the end of next year for the 17th edition of the 'New Voices' Opera Competition. ”

The translator's voice fell, and the audience boiled.

Qin Jian fell into a knowledge blind spot for a short time, he didn't know what level of competition Deutsche Welle's new voice was, it sounded a bit like a domestic variety show.

However, the conversation between the two beside him solved his doubts.

It is similar to the Chopin Competition in the piano world, which is held once every five years.

It's been held for 16 sessions.

As the hometown of new European opera, Germany still knows this, and the competition is already above the ceiling.

So what's so exciting?

Qin Jian muttered in his heart, isn't this competition the same as the Chopin Competition?

It's not just an award for you.

Maybe it's because he doesn't sing vocal music, Qin Jian doesn't have any special feelings.

But by the end of next year, a year should be enough time to arrange something.

For a moment, this Qin Jian seemed to feel that he had already obtained this ticket.

Getting this ticket means that you have to continue fighting with foreigners again.

Although opera is the traditional strength of Europeans, isn't it also the piano?

Even if it's all foreign.

Don't be cowardly, just do it.

At this time, Qin Jian was inexplicably full of fighting spirit.

This is not surprising either.

If, before that, Yada and Kira needed a stage for their debut, he thought the most suitable place would be in Germany.

The best location is on the stage in Salzburg.

It doesn't matter if the road is long.

...

Then.

The last speaker caught his attention, the Asian market spokesperson for EMI Records, the sponsor of the competition.

A middle-aged man who looks like an Asian.

Speak Chinese that is not salty or light.

His words couldn't help but remind Qin Jian of Cai Song's work last night.

"Combining modern stage technology with traditional opera content will be the way for the opera stage to go in the future. ”

"This is also the need for classical music culture to move towards an international diversified market. ”

At first glance, this sounds like this.

Qin Jian didn't know if the few foreigners around him could understand when this spokesman spoke.

But in his view, the future of opera should not be completely dictated by the market, at the very least.

Draw a question mark here for the time being.

Just like Vivaldi last night, Qin Jian admits that this is a good stage mime, with good music and good creativity.

But if it releases a record under the name of an opera and sells well, it won't be a convincing thing.

...

The delegates finished their speeches in turn, and it was time for the delegates to draw lots to determine the order of the performances.

Qin Jian sent a message asking Ning Qianxia to go to the stage to draw lots on his behalf.

lived up to expectations, Ning Qianxia got a number that everyone was very satisfied with.

Number Nine.

This means that the spring of Figaro will be the finale.

The crowd cheered.

Everyone has had the fantasy of being like a hero and ending up on the stage.

To make herculean efforts to save a critical situation.

Lore.

Returned with honor and flowers.

It's just that.

...

"It's not good, if we start at 7 p.m., then it's our turn to play around 10 o'clock, because you have to know that there are five teams on the second matchday. ”

After the workshop, the teams dispersed to make final preparations.

Hotel, Ning Qianxia took a sip of hot tea to moisten her throat, and then said: "This time is the most exhausting time in the state of your throat every day. ”

Qin Jian nodded to indicate that he understood, "I have taken this into consideration, but I know that the pressure of the final appearance will be greater, and we are in front of the team of the Star Academy, everyone is the same repertoire, and from the audio-visual perspective of the judges and the audience, we are a little at a loss." ”

"I'm sorry. "Ning Qian Xia drew the lot by himself.

Qin Jian smiled, "What's this, the finale also has the benefits of the finale, haven't you seen the fighting spirit shown by everyone in the group, maybe." ”

"Yes. ”

"Qian Xia, you have to protect your throat well in the past two days, your aria is our killer feature. ”

Ning Qianxia shook the thermos cup in his hand, "Don't worry." ”

"By the way, Qianxia, what do you think of the Deutsche Welle competition?"

"I'll talk about this when I come back," Ning Qianxia said and turned to leave, "You hurry up and hurry up to sleep, you know that you didn't sleep all night last night." ”

"I'll call you at five o'clock in the afternoon, the rehearsal time provided by the competition side is not much, you have to cheer up. ”

"Good afternoon. ”

There was a knock at the door.

Qin Jian lay on his back, leaving everything behind for the time being.

He really needed a good night's sleep.

The game will start.
