Chapter 842: Investigation
Qin Fangge didn't know that there was a fire in his backyard, and Ning Xiupei was still in the dark or she didn't want to think deeply, anyway, Zhou Xiuying didn't say it when she called, and she probably didn't know much about it. Pinshu.com
When they were on the road, the mother and son were also very busy and answered several phone calls, Qin Fangge's driving was quite reassuring, and others couldn't learn his skills if they wanted to. But Ning Xiupei still didn't let him answer the phone while driving, so she answered it on her behalf.
After these things made a fuss, whether it was Xi Wanqing or Xue Min, they were much more cautious when calling her.
Xue Min didn't look for Qin Fangge for anything else, it was to say that the response to the magazine published by their magazine this time was very enthusiastic. Ning Xiupei answered the phone, Xue Min could also talk to her, and also said that some readers also called the magazine office, complaining that Qin Fangge's tickets were too difficult to buy, and they were snatched up by so many people, not to mention that it was very difficult to grab them on time.
As for the trend of classical music led by him, it has also made many people re-understand classical music. Some readers who were lucky enough to get the invitation letter wrote to say that when they actually listened to Qin Fangge's concert, they felt that it was not so difficult to get started with classical music, and it was easy to understand, at least, they had a special harvest after listening to it. It's a kind of thing that you can experience and feel differently from listening to other music, or watching a book or a movie, and it's a shock that goes straight to the depths of your soul.
Xue Min also asked if they had received the magazine Qin Fangge she had sent, but Ning Xiupei had received it, but she didn't read it carefully. It's like similar reports on the Internet, there are too many of them, and people are overwhelmed.
She is Xi Wanqing's good friend, so Ning Xiupei will be polite to her.
Xue Min is also quite knowledgeable, and after chatting for a while, he will accept the phone, and it seems impolite to hang up too quickly.
By the time they arrived at the Grand Theater, except for those who lived a little farther away, the crew for this performance was almost there. The original plan was to let everyone have a good rest and gather again in the afternoon, so Qin Fangge went to school to surprise the girls.
Zhou Xiuying is the leader. There are also the biggest opera singer Shen Jianping, baritone singer He Jian, orchestra conductor Yu Dawei, choir conductor Yu Fang and other leaders. Dong Liang, secretary and president of the National Centre for the Performing Arts, and Xiao Shanhe, vice president, also rushed over in time.
In this regard, in fact, Ning Xiupei and Qin Fangge have little experience.
The others, Zhou Xiuying and Shen Jianping, are all battle-hardened veterans, with countless domestic and international performances. The big scene has seen countless people. Zhou Xiuying, in particular, has been received and praised by several generations of national leaders. The international opera performances have also been praised and praised by many foreign heads of state and dignitaries. Shen Jianping has even won the Medal of Honor from the British royal family and Italy, which can be said to be impressive and brilliant.
The other opera singers are not bad, and without exception, they all have the experience of studying abroad and performing in major opera houses, and have also received countless applause and praise. It is also after winning great honors abroad that they return with honors and engage in performance education.
As for the orchestra and choir of the National Centre for the Performing Arts. Although it has not been established for a long time, only four or five years of effort, there are many performances every year, and there are countless experiences of performing in front of national leaders and foreign dignitaries.
For French President Ferdinand to come to the Grand Theater to listen to the opera, everyone is used to seeing it. They are also quite skillful in dealing with it.
Of course. This time is different from the past.
This time, Ferdinand purely came for Qin Fangge, a newly emerged tenor who is known as the world's number one tenor. Since Rossini, the tenors all over the world have been mixed, and there are really few who can listen to them, but they can't just listen to them because of choking
For this romantic French president. **, who once studied in France, has a deep understanding of him, saying that the romance in his bones is simply incomprehensible. In the face of terrorist attacks, his countermeasure turned out to be to hold a few more concerts in order to influence the terrorists
But it is undeniable that the romantic French president is indeed an avid fan of opera, such a situation. Among European heads of dignitaries, it is not uncommon. The German Chancellor, the Italian minister, the British parliamentarians, and the foreign parliamentarians all telegraphed about the same, and in Europe, dignitaries still had the habit of talking about things at the opera house. The tall opera hall is perfect for these activities, with plenty of time to entertain before the opening and during the intermission.
In any case, it is undoubtedly a great thing for opera singers like Shen Jianping and Qin Fangge. We all know that opera performances are the most expensive, and only with government support and considerable private sponsorship can the opera hall be sustained. In Italy, the birthplace of opera, many famous opera houses are struggling due to the economic recession.
In this comparison, the National Center for the Performing Arts is thriving. Of course, government support is also indispensable. Dong Liang, the director of the Grand Theater, said that the government allocates 500 million yuan a year, and the rest has to be operated by the Grand Theater itself, which is still quite stressful. Opera, in particular, basically loses money. At the same time, as a national institution, the Grand Theater also undertakes some work such as education, popularization and promotion of the national cultural image, such as public open days, free for the audience, so that everyone can visit and enjoy concerts and operas, etc. Even the most popular and expensive theater in the country is still difficult to maintain a break-even.
Qin Fangge and their Alonso this time made the Grand Theater rejoice, in Xiao Shanhe's words, "Finally, I don't have to lose so much"
Not to mention that the tickets were sold this time, and they were not discounted, but in this way, they were all sold in one day and no one refunded them, which seemed to be a miracle in the past.
The creator of this miracle is naturally the new generation of singer artist Qin Fangge, who is now very appealing to the opera box office, and this time it can also attract a big man like French President Ferdinand, which is also a recognition of Qin Fangge's strength.
Dong Liang has a wide range of channels, and he also told Qin Fangge some inside stories. It is said that Ferdinand's decision this time was actually a bit hasty, he originally planned to go to Guangzhou, but he made up his mind to listen to it because he had read a series of media reports and the strong praise of his classical music colleagues for Qin Fangge.
It's just that it's a little too late to catch up with the normal performance, although he is the president of France, but this is in China, and the top leader didn't drive away the audience who bought tickets
Since Ferdinand made such a request, the Chinese government naturally had to weigh it up. Well, compared to Xingshi and moving the crowd to other places, if you are in Yanjing, it will undoubtedly save too much trouble. Again. The Ministry of Culture also feels that this is a good channel to promote cultural exchanges between China and France.
Or rather, a good opportunity to showcase Chinese culture. In the past, opera performances were performed by foreigners, after all, there are natural language and cultural differences in the birthplace of the country. Now that there is such a musical genius as Qin Fangge, it can realize the feedback of art and culture, and highlight the cultural and artistic strength of the ancient Chinese civilization.
Qin Fangge's first solo concert was in an uproar before. As a result, it has entered the field of vision of many leaders. I have to say that one of them, Xi Wanqing, threaded the needle in it. Lots of credit. But here's the problem, this Qin Fangge is really a merry talent, while having a genuine girlfriend, he also maintains a male-female relationship with Xi Wanqing, and even more excessively. Since you have to check it, you have to find out clearly, and after understanding the ins and outs, the leaders who are used to seeing the wind and rain also feel relieved. In addition to the nature of men, it shows that Qin Fangge still attaches great importance to feelings, although this relationship is a bit of a flood momentum. But an artist. There is a rich and broad inner world, so many endless inspirations, and there must be a source
It's just that his private life must not be exposed to the public, and it cannot stand up in terms of moral public opinion. I slowed it down for the time being, but I didn't think about it. and suddenly killed the matter of French President Ferdinand.
People all over the world know that opera burns money, and the set alone has to cost a lot of money, not to mention that so many participants have to be paid salaries. While the various set props have not been removed and the personnel are still in order, one or two more performances will be performed. It's also good to send some favors.
After receiving the notice, Shen Jianping and ** and other opera singers also said that there was no problem, and when they performed opera performances in the past, they had experienced five or six consecutive days of performances, and they could all maintain a high level. Now it's only four games, which is quite easy, and. They are not the most workhorse.
With Zhou Xiuying and Shen Jianping's understanding and understanding of Qin Fangge's perverted strength, let alone performing four times in a row, he can maintain the same high level and perfect condition for a week. In this regard, they can only look up.
So, things were decided so happily.
The Grand Theater was ready to prepare, and when it was rehearsal in the afternoon, it also ushered in a group of leaders from relevant national departments, who were just here to play the front station. Among them, there are leaders such as the vice minister of the Ministry of Culture, the director of the Bureau of Literary and Art Circles, and Wu Ruhui is also among them, she has the most confidence in Qin Fangge, of course, her expression is also quite serious.
The Musicians Association naturally won't miss such a feast, Qin Fangge's opera performance didn't invite so many leaders, and this time it can be regarded as making up for it. Dong Liang and Xiao Shanhe didn't expect to sell tickets for tomorrow night's performance, which could be regarded as giving benefits to civil servants, although many people may not be happy to come to the opera hall to waste a night of their lives.
Accompanied by the director of the French Embassy in China in charge of art and cultural exchanges, he saw Qin Fangge, and came forward to shake hands and hug him very enthusiastically, saying that he had heard his name and knew that his performance was particularly exciting, and many friends were full of praise for him.
Well, Qin Fangge didn't invite this Frenchman to come before, and Xi Wanqing and the others couldn't think of it at all, so it would be good to straighten out the relationship between the domestic leaders.
Qin Fangge didn't need to translate, and directly thanked him for his appreciation in French, and said that he would do his best to show everyone the best state.
These Frenchmen were quite surprised that Qin Fangge's French was so slippery.
He was naturally humble, and when Zhou Xiuying and Ning Xiupei couldn't help him, he still had to be brave enough to go up by himself.
Qin Fangge's character has also won praise from many foreign friends, whether it is out of sincerity or just politeness. At least, everyone was able to get by, and nothing went wrong, so Ning Xiupei and them were relieved.
The most important thing is, of course, Qin Fangge and the strength of opera singers.
Among the leaders here, there are also those who know six out of seven and don't know anything about opera. But several French people are all knowledgeable, and they don't need to bring it up, Zhou Xiuying and Shen Jianping After they finished the leadership care, they took Qin Fangge to continue their rehearsals. First warm up and moisten your throat with the previous opera excerpts, and then naturally the most essence, which is also the most difficult excerpt for the world's tenor singers.
Within a minute, a dozen or so trebles rose and fell, but they seemed to be melodious. The timbre is transparent and bright, and it is really sound in the ears of the leaders in the audience. Even those who were indifferent to opera in the past couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. It also made them wonder if it was because the singing level of those singers in the past was too poor, or because Qin Fangge's opera level was too high
Needless to say, even for such a short period of performance. It is enough to prove that Qin Fangge's strength is top-notch. I haven't seen a few French people dancing with excitement and slurring their words, they are used to listening to opera. The more you can feel, the more shock you will feel in your heart.
Before leaving, several Frenchmen shook hands and hugged Qin Fangge again, and then enthusiastically praised his voice as a gift from God. Qin Fangge was tired of listening to it, but he still had a modest smile on his face, which was also quite tiring.
And Wu Ruhui and other big leaders also encouraged him to perform well, "We must sing the style of our Chinese"
Qin Fangge replied that he promised to complete the task, which also caused a burst of good-natured laughter. He is quite courageous, and his psychological quality is not bad. Well, everyone thinks that he can step on a few boats openly, and his skin is already thick to a considerable extent, and it is difficult for such a person to have stage fright.
It is worth mentioning that Xi Wanqing did not come over this day, not as cheeky as Qin Fangge. She was very empty-hearted. There is no way, after all, women on the weak side are scolded more than men when they are condemned.
After sending off a group of national leaders and French friends, Qin Fangge breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zhou Xiuying praised him for coping well, "It's good to continue to maintain this state tomorrow." There's no need to be too restrictive, people often just look at their own mentality."
Shen Jianping and the others also echoed the voice, they have all seen the big scene, and they can also provide him with some experience for reference.
Qin Fangge nodded and humbly accepted the teachings, you can't escape such an occasion, so learn how to deal with it
On the side of the Grand Theater, it's tonight's show. Security or something tomorrow will be taken seriously and strictly. As for arranging seats or something, there is no need for Qin Fangge and Zhou Xiuying to worry about it at all. Shen Jianping also smiled and said, "Even if there is only one audience, we just play ours"
Qin Fangge naturally has no problems here, and the other opera singers are also mentally prepared.
In this night's performance, whether it was Qin Fangge or Shen Jianping, or the symphony orchestra and choir, they all showed a very serious attitude, and they didn't feel lazy or anything else because of tomorrow's night's performance. This is their most basic professional ethics and literacy as literary and artistic workers.
Of course, there is nothing to say about the performance effect, in the opera hall, without using any electro-acoustic amplification equipment, all live people sing, and the effect caused by it is also particularly shocking. Even the audience who listens to opera for the first time can feel the direct dialogue between the heart, and the ability of music, especially vocal music, to communicate with the soul is incomparable. With the blessing of the symphony orchestra and choir, it is even more direct.
There was no need to be reminded or coaxed, and the spontaneous applause of the excited audience was like tearing down the roof of the Grand Theater, and they were unwilling to stop for a long time.
There are also more delicate and sensitive audiences who find that as the last performance that should have been performed, whether it was Qin Fangge, Shen Jianping or the host, they didn't mention it as if they forgot it when the curtain call. The final curtain call was just a curtain call, and it wasn't too early, and everyone dispersed. Qin Fangge didn't mean to stay and take photos with fans to sign autographs, it wasn't that he was pretending to be cold, but in fact, his personality dictated.
Fortunately, his fans are accustomed to this, and it is enough to pay back the ticket price and their long-term anticipation to hear the idol's shocking, emotional, emotional, and tearful singing in such a gorgeous and glorious opera hall.
And these loyal fans of Qin Fangge, after going back, also expressed their feelings on the forum and in the fan group, and some of them were sensitive, so they said that tonight's performance may not be the last thing. But there was still no evidence, so they called all sorts of well-informed masters to ask what was going on. If you want to have another ticket, those who have heard it once will want to listen to it again.
But on the official website of the Grand Theater, there is no information about sales, and there is no information about continuing the performance.
However, an anonymous fan posted that there is indeed another performance tomorrow night, but it is inconvenient for him to disclose the specific situation, and it will naturally be clear when the time comes. Such a mysterious post will naturally arouse everyone's discussion and attention, and the fans who did not grab the tickets are ready to move, and they also ask the landlord to help get tickets, and the rewards are not low. But the landlord was as silent as diving.
After the fans' discussion, they came to different conclusions, some people think that this should be the last one, Qin Fangge's successive performances consume a lot of physical energy, and the most important thing is that his voice also needs to be maintained. Everyone didn't want to see the tragedy that he couldn't sing at a very early age. Naturally, there are also fans who firmly believe that there is no wind and no waves, anyway, everyone will wait and see. To be continued.
