Chapter 1030: Telephone



Zhou Xiuying also knows very well that it is not easy to rehearse the premiere of the symphony, it is difficult to determine the symphony orchestra and rehearsal plan, and I don't know which symphony orchestra to find for the premiere!

Moreover, it is basically impossible for Qin Fangge to make money through symphonies, even if he is good at it. Eighty-eight reading,

Zhou Xiuying also asked him, "Do you plan to use this symphony in the movie?"

"Yes, part of the melody of the second movement is similar to the farewell, and I made the most of it. And it will appear in different languages and performance forms in the movie......" Qin Fangge replied, but he couldn't tell her the story behind it, so he could only attribute it to being lazy.

"A good melody is not so easy to get, the farewell is very classic, this symphony must be bad!" Zhou Xiuying can accept it, she has never underestimated his creative ability, but she also does not expect him to burst out of inspiration every day to write a melody that everyone likes, that is unrealistic. As she said before, you should find inspiration in your creation, not wait for inspiration to come. And it is not easy to create a movement of a symphony piece based on a musical idea or thematic motive, like a "farewell" melody.

In any case, Zhou Xiuying is still very much looking forward to this, and also said that she will help him keep an eye on the symphony orchestra.

After chatting for a while, Qin Fangge didn't disturb her rest much, after all, Zhou Xiuying was also very busy every day. There are a lot of things to do just to give him the chief director of the opera Don Juan, and this old lady pursues perfection and is almost demanding. Not only the opera singers, but also the orchestra of the Grand Theater have been trained many times. It is precisely because he knows the level of the Grand Theater Orchestra and the world-class orchestra that there is a big gap between it and the world's best orchestra, and Zhou Xiuying did not directly recommend it to Qin Fangge. If you perform an opera, there is no way, even a leading figure in the opera industry like Zhou Xiuying must make compromises. No other orchestra would have found so much time to practice the orchestral accompaniment of the opera Don Juan.

Zhou Xiuying can only keep an eye on it, let them rehearse more, and strive not to make too many mistakes when performing. Practicing more carefully is the only way to improve your performance.

Of course, from the standpoint of ordinary members of the Grand Theater Orchestra, this is indeed more demanding than usual. In the past, they practiced the rehearsals and performances of opera accompaniment and symphony even when they were in school, and they were basically classics among the classics, and there were recordings and even live references.

The music of Qin Fangge's opera is brand new, and they have to practice from scratch, among them, the conducting is the most difficult, followed by the chief of each instrument. But among the nearly 100 members of the symphony orchestra, everyone must be in place, and it is basically unrealistic to want to fill the number indiscriminately. Mo said that the conductor's "golden ears" can be heard, and the members around him can also hear it, and the audience in the audience is clearer.

If you don't rehearse well, you will be particularly embarrassed if you have all kinds of accidents during the performance, resulting in a "car accident" or something. In particular, the members of the wind ensemble, among whom the brass is in charge, are under the greatest pressure.

The National Centre for the Performing Arts also rehearses its own original operas, but that requires Zhou Xiuying to treat Don Juan is simply heaven and earth. Now it's difficult to find an excellent original opera, there were many Western classic operas in the past, but only those few can be staged in the Grand Theater, not only the level of opera singers is limited to the selection of plays, but the level of the orchestra is also a shortcoming.

Of course, if you rehearse those operas, you don't have to pay the author royalties, and people will die for a hundred years or more. If the Grand Theater has its own original opera, the cost is not small.

Qin Fangge this opera Don Juan, the Grand Theater didn't pay a penny, it can be regarded as making a lot of money, they have a venue and people, and they have a great home advantage.

No matter how awesome Qin Fangge is, he can't complete all the projects by himself. Not to mention the opera, he can't handle his own performance of this symphony. Unless he pays for a symphony orchestra with a relatively high degree of professionalism, the level is too low to look down on, but these musicians and conductors and management have to be piled up with money, if they only pursue the best effect of art, and do not take on those messy and perfunctory commercial performances, they will definitely not be able to do it without 50 million a year.

Last time, Qin Fangge's first piano concerto was found by the Youth Symphony Orchestra of the Conservatory of Music, all of which were composed of students, and the level was definitely not as high as that of the profession, but he didn't have to pay for it. The students also practice more diligently, and if they want a professional symphony orchestra, they will have to pay extra for one rehearsal.

In this era of money, the level of the symphony orchestra is closely related to the orchestra's economy.

As far as Qin Fangge knows, the old symphony orchestras in Europe, because of the sponsorship of the government, maintain a relatively good level. The musicians of the symphony orchestra have no worries and cannot make a fortune, but they are certainly free of food and clothing, and the vast majority of musicians regard this as their job. If the level is higher, you will become a performer, and the income will naturally be higher.

The symphony orchestras in the United States are basically sponsored by foundations, which will be affected by the economic situation, and the amount of sponsorship will also directly affect the level of the symphony orchestra, which fluctuates. Musicians regard this as a job, and when the income is not enough, they have no intention of practicing performances, but want to go out to teach students, take private jobs to participate in other performances to make extra money, and there are fewer rehearsals, and the quality of performances will naturally decline.

From this point of view, the symphony orchestra itself is quite helpless, and it is difficult to lead the team when the hearts of the people are scattered. Without the sponsorship of the government and corporate consortia, it is not enough to rely on performance tickets or something, and sponsorship is the main thing.

This is true of the world's top symphony orchestras, as well as other orchestras, in a similar predicament, oscillating between the market and the arts.

Qin Fangge didn't expect him to make any money with this symphony, even if he already had considerable popularity now, if the symphony was released, he shouldn't worry about the fact that the tickets couldn't be sold.

For the symphony orchestra, what is the disadvantage of rehearsing and performing other free symphonies? There is no copyright fee at all, and it is a well-known and carefully selected classic that the audience is familiar with, and there is no need to worry about the quality of the work, it depends on the level of the symphony orchestra itself.

As for the piano movie at sea, this big investment is smashed, and it is very gratifying that Qin Fangge does not lose money, and I really don't dare to expect too much.

Zhou Xiuying knows more about these current situations of classical music than Qin Fangge, and also told him not to worry, just take your time, and it is unrealistic to ascend to the sky in one step.

Qin Fangge can't be fast if he wants to, unless he spends money to invite the symphony orchestra to rehearse more regardless of the cost, but his money is not blown by the wind.

After the call was finished, Lin Baoqing also gave her mobile phone to Qin Fangge, she chatted with Ning Xiupei and never hung up, these two people are also very powerful, they can talk for so long.

Ning Xiupei had to count him down a few words, saying that he and her were not as close as Baoqing, "What are you still modest in front of us?"

Thanks to Qin Fangge's thick skin, he said with a hippie smile, "If you don't have to say it yourself, it will feel even more powerful!"

Ning Xiupei scolded him with a few words, and then said, "You must find a high-level symphony orchestra to premiere, and you can hold your special concert!

Qin Fangge smiled, "It's not like you can write it if you want to, Mr. Zhou also said, just take your time!"

"Aren't you going to use it in a movie, you still have to record it, but you have to plan it in advance, don't wait until the movie is finished, this symphony hasn't been practiced yet! You still have to be a director to make a movie, and the time is very tight!" Ning Xiupei reminded him that she had just learned more details from Lin Baoqing.

"Uh-huh!" Qin Fangge nodded, he still had to respect his mother's opinion.

Ning Xiupei was very satisfied with his attitude, "The symphony orchestra in Europe is of a good level, you can think about it, you don't want to go abroad to make movies there." By the way, the passport is almost done!"

Qin Fangge replied that he was about to get his hands on it, and it was not difficult for someone with an identity like him to handle it.

Ning Xiupei chattered again that he still needed a professional assistant or something, but it was a pity that Qin Fangge was only the wind in his ears.

After chatting for a while, Ning Xiupei accepted the phone.

On the other hand, Chen Yushan talked to Xiao Yuran and Xi Wanqing on the phone, telling them the good news that Qin Fangge had completed the first symphony. is closely related to the upcoming movie, Xi Wanqing naturally treats this as the first thing, and asks Chen Yushan if he has any intention of working with a symphony orchestra. Chen Yushan didn't know, and he didn't know for sure!

When Chen Yushan called Xiao Yuran, she also asked her to help talk to Teacher Deng Hongmei, and also told Qin Fangge that he was very busy on the phone.

Xiao Yuran agreed, last night, they were still discussing Qin Fang's cool singing and making a symphony with a conductor!

On Zuo Shuqin's side, Lin Baoqing didn't bother to call them one by one, and said it directly in the group. They also asked Qin Fangge to pass on the score to the group! Chen Tianhong and Huang Jing called him directly, but unfortunately they were busy all the time. Her mobile phone called Qin Fangge and Ning Xiupei, and Lin Baoqing used his mobile phone to call Professor Wu Yifen!

As for Teng Shuting, she occupied the computer and didn't let anyone move, and they couldn't do it, not to mention that it was very difficult for them to read the score. It is not a national instrument that they are good at, but a Western orchestral instrument.

As the instructor of their orchestra, Professor Wu Yifen is not only particularly attentive to their orchestra, but also pays special attention to Qin Fangge. In fact, she also represents the attitude of the teachers of the composition department of the Conservatory of Music, although Qin Fangge is not from the composition department, but from the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, which is enough!

After listening to Lin Baoqing report the good news of his complete symphony, Wu Yifen also congratulated Qin Fangge first, and expressed her understanding of his hidden attitude. However, she didn't think that he was worried about the poor quality of the work, just as he has always been low-key, it is quite appropriate for Lin Baoqing and Teng Shuting to publicize this.

When asked about Teng Shuting, Lin Baoqing said that she was concentrating on reading the score!

Wu Yifen couldn't help laughing, "Shu Ting is indeed more serious and persistent, but she is not in a hurry to meet at this moment! Baoqing, you asked her to wait for a copy to be sent to us! By the way, did you call Professor Long?"

"I haven't had time yet! I plan to ask Shu Ting to make this call, Qin Fangge is busy talking to Mr. Zhou and Aunt Ning!" Lin Baoqing explained.

"Okay, I'll help convey the good news from the school leaders. Wu Yifen said happily, "In addition to our composition department, the orchestra department and the conducting department must also be looking forward to it." ”

Lin Baoqing also said happily, "Then it's troublesome for Professor Wu!"

"What are you doing so politely, Qin Fangge's first symphony came out, which is a good thing that our entire conservatory of music is proud of! He now has almost all types of music masterpieces, a veritable composer!" Wu Yifen said with a smile, she really thought so.

And then he inevitably mentions which symphony orchestra he is going to debut with, which is something that almost everyone who cares about him is thinking about.

Lin Baoqing naturally can't call the shots for him, presumably Qin Fangge also wants to find the most suitable symphony orchestra to complete this symphony.

After receiving the call, Lin Baoqing also woke up Teng Shuting, who was immersed in the symphony, "Professor Long, you should call! Also, Professor Wu asked the music score to pass!"

Although she was disturbed and had some entanglement in her heart, Teng Shuting definitely couldn't get angry at Lin Baoqing, and only complained about Qin Fangge, "It's all the things he provoked, and we want us to wipe his ass for him!"

Lin Baoqing smiled and said, "I won't be tired of a few more things like this!"

"You!" Teng Shuting didn't want to talk about her, so let's call. Professor Long Fujin is her supervisor, and it is through her that the professors of the composition department have a relationship with Qin Fangge.

Long Fujin took Teng Shuting's call, and after learning that Qin Fangge's first symphony was completed, the first thing he wanted to do was to see how the quality of the work was. What kind of ceiling can the musical works he created and what kind of expectations can be met is what a professor of composition like Long Fujin is most concerned about.

Long Fujin received the most orthodox music education, he himself wrote symphonies, and knew that it was not easy, and his first symphony was completed as a graduation work in his fifth year, and the response was average. However, the fourth symphony has a great influence at home and abroad, and special performances have also been held. But now there are a lot fewer performances, and with so many symphonies of classical musicians in place, there are so many options for symphony orchestras.

The composition department is a five-year system, and Teng Shuting still has two years to stay in school in her junior year, and she has only completed about half of the courses in the composition department. Qin Fangge is completely self-taught, and the professor of the composition department of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, represented by Long Fujin, can't treat him as a typical example when facing the students of the composition department. To be continued.
