Chapter 551: Imagination

Although Zhou Xiuying has always encouraged Qin Fangge to create operas, she didn't expect him to be so fast.
As a veteran figure in the domestic opera industry, Zhou Xiuying certainly knows how difficult it is to create an opera, and what kind of musical reserve knowledge and musical literacy are needed. Of course, the inspiration for music creation is also indispensable.
Zhou Xiuying also knew that Qin Fangge had learned a lot of symphony orchestra instruments before, so she asked him if he had completed the piano concerto he had been talking about.
Qin Fangge replied yes, and said that he handed over the complete piano concerto to Deng Hongmei today.
Zhou Xiuying didn't continue to ask, but put on her glasses first and looked at the laptop that Qin Fangge had opened.
Qin Fangge not only didn't get the script of the opera out, but also composed the prelude music of the opera.
The music of an opera is much more complex than a piano concerto, and it needs to be perfectly coordinated with the scene and vocal music of the opera. Zhou Xiuying knew this very well, and she didn't expect Qin Fangge to complete all the opera creations in such a short time.
The opera script alone is particularly draining.
Zhou Xiuying's boss Fang Xiping, who has been tossing operas related to the Three Kingdoms for so long, has not yet written the script.
Qin Fangge also explained on the side, saying that he was adapted from the story of Don Juan, the prodigal son who had been circulating in medieval Spain for a long time, and the background of the story was also set in Seville, and the adaptation was always easier than the original, there is no doubt about it. Choosing this background can also provide cover for several operas that he will copy in the future, such as "The Marriage of Figaro", "The Barber of Seville" and several other operas that also took place in Spain.
Zhou Xiuying nodded, in fact, according to the character of Don Juan, there are also adapted operas, but they are not very famous. There is also a movie of the same name, poetry or something, she hopes that Qin Fangge can write something new on the script. Anyway, Qin Fangge is also a person who can write, and the level of adaptation will not be much worse.
And Zhou Xiuying's situation when watching this opera is also true, Qin Fangge is also a careful person, in addition to writing the script in Italian, he also gave it a Chinese translation.
Zhou Xiuying's Italian learning is very good, but it doesn't seem to be as good as Qin Fangge. However, she selectively ignored this now, anyway, everything could be pushed to Qin Fangge's genius. And when Qin Fangge appeared in front of her, he appeared as a genius.
Moreover, if you look at the Chinese translation, it must be much more fluent than Italian, after all, it is a native language.
This will, Zhou Xiuying also roughly browsed, but she immediately decided that she would resolutely not use Chinese to perform this opera in the future, and the style would really be reduced a lot. It's a cultural difference, and it's not uncommon in opera.
Just by looking at the script, you know that this opera is quite long, Qin Fangge has written 120 pages, and the number of words is at least more than 100,000.
With such a long script, Zhou Xiuying can only skip the middle, read the beginning and end first, and then tell Qin Fangge and Lin Baoqing that it feels very good, but the specifics have to be studied carefully.
Lin Baoqing didn't drive fast, but he also arrived at the hotel quickly.
Zhou Xiuying asked Qin Fangge to bring the notebook, but his persuasion was fruitless, and Lin Baoqing also expressed her support for Zhou Xiuying's opinion, and asked her to help guide her more.
Zhou Xiuying said with a smile, "Qin Fangge's own works, he should have a number in his heart, so I won't point fingers." If I could write opera, I would write it myself. It turns out that not everyone can create opera. ”
Lin Baoqing said, "Mr. Zhou has rich experience and will definitely be able to give Qin Fangge some help in opera creation." ”
Zhou Xiuying must also hope that Qin Fangge's first step opera can be created wonderfully, but she believes in Qin Fangge's ability more, and said that what she should worry about most should be how to perform this opera well.
Zhao Yuanyuan, Zhang Wei and Chen Chen followed closely, seeing Qin Fangge with a notebook, Zhao Yuanyuan guessed it at the first time, and asked Qin Fangge if he had started the creation of operas.
Zhou Xiuying praised him with a smile, but Qin Fangge modestly said that it was important to eat first.
Zhao Yuanyuan supported Zhou Xiuying, and praised Mr. Zhou's eyes like a torch while walking, and discovered Qin Fangge, a thousand-mile horse, full of Bole. As for Qin Fangge, there are already too many words of praise on him, and he can't say anything new.
After going to the private room, Zhou Xiuying still watched the opera on the laptop for the first time, and Zhao Yuanyuan watched it. Zhang Wei and Chen Chen couldn't get in, so they asked Qin Fangge what theme he was about.
Lin Baoqing explained with a smile, "It was he who adapted the story of the famous Spanish playboy Don Juan, who was unruly, seduced many little girls and women, and finally destroyed himself." ”
Zhang Wei and Chen Chen both laughed, feeling like Qin Fangge was blackening himself, although he had not yet become a playboy, it was an indisputable fact that there were groups of girls around him. Maybe he expressed his heart to his girlfriend Lin Baoqing through this opera.
Among several people, Lin Baoqing has the shallowest attainment in opera, so she will simply say it, and then talk less and listen more. Zhang Wei also graduated from the Department of Vocal Opera, and Chen Chen has been a piano accompanist in the department for so many years, and his familiarity with various operas is also easy to come by. Needless to say, several others are leaders in the industry.
Chen Chen and Zhang Wei could not see the content of the opera, but this did not prevent them from developing their views on the future of the opera. Zhang Wei said that if he wanted to rehearse for the students of the conservatory, it would definitely be a waste.
Chen Chen also said, "It is only right to perform on the big stage of the opera house, and the current opera industry is also in need of fresh blood." This kind of Western-style opera is just right, not only can our people enjoy it, but also can step onto the international stage. ”
Zhang Wei also said excitedly, "If you want to rehearse well, you can counterattack." The limitations of Chinese opera are still a bit big, and it is much more difficult for foreigners to listen to it than for us to listen to foreign operas. ”
Chen Chen nodded and said, "It is also because Chinese is too broad and profound, and foreign operas are translated, and they don't feel that taste." ”
Zhang Wei said yes with a smile, and said, "If it can be premiered at the National Center for the Performing Arts, it would be the best." By the way, Qin Fangge, do you want to perform on stage in person?"
Qin Fangge hurriedly shook his head, "I don't want to be a playboy like Don Juan!"
Several people laughed, and Chen Chen proposed, "In the past, those musicians were the conductor of the premiere of the work, if you don't play the leading role, you can conduct it!"
Qin Fangge was even more uninterested, not to mention whether the other symphony orchestras were willing to listen to him, he didn't want to waste his efforts on it, although it felt cool to conduct the symphony orchestra
