Xi Wanqing still knows Qin Fangge quite well, although he is not very willing to deal with people, it does not mean that he does not have this ability, but he is too lazy to spend time on intrigue. And judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Domenico as the music director and Cosimo as the conductor cannot be the master, and in the economic downturn, the contradiction between the artists and the management is very acute. The music director and conductor have no soldiers under them, and they can't play any art.

Zhou Xiuying, Qian Feifei, and they know the current situation of the Roman Opera House well, and they don't need to count on money or anything, but other conditions can still be discussed, and they can be talked about. They don't have much choice right now, except for the temporary cancellation of the opera performances that have already sold tickets for the evening.

However, if you really want to play the role of Macbeth, it will also be a great test for Qin Fangge. He had only heard the record of the opera "Macbeth" before, and did not attend the performance in person. There is no way to do it, there are many classic operas in this world, and he does not have the conditions to watch them one by one. The age is there, unlike Zhou Xiuying, who flies all over the world, it can be said that she has enjoyed all the operas in this world on the spot, and many operas have been performed and directed by herself.

Domenico and Cosimo were only outposts, vaguely revealing such intentions, but they couldn't do it.

gave Qin Fangge and Zhou Xiuying time to prepare in advance, before that, they didn't expect that there would be such a situation as now, and Qin Fangge was not ready to perform "Macbeth" on stage, because it was too hasty.

The plot of the opera "Macbeth", which is adapted from Sarsky's play, is actually not complicated, and most operas are more or less like this. If it is too complicated to express it in music and on stage, it is also a burden for the audience, especially for opera singers and orchestra choir conductors.

The opera "Macbeth" tells the story of General Macbeth, the cousin of King Duncan of Scotland, who returns from fighting the king's rebellion and defending against invasion, and meets three witches on the way. The witch told him some prophecies and hidden words that he would become king, but that he would have no heirs to inherit the throne, but that the descendants of his colleague General Bancor would become king. Macbeth, at the instigation of his wife, murdered Duncan and became king. In order to hide his eyes and ears and prevent others from seizing the throne, he killed Duncan's bodyguards, Banquo, and the wife and children of the nobleman Macduff. Fear and suspicion make Macbeth more and more ghostly and cold. Lady Macbeth went insane and died. In the face of the rebellion, Macbeth was besieged by Duncan's son and the English reinforcements he had invited.

After chatting with Domenico and Cosimo for a few words, Zhou Xiuying also pulled Qin Fangge aside and asked him in a low voice, "If you really want you to play Macbeth, can you take it?" ”

Qin Fangge quickly replied, "It's not a big problem just about the singing and performance of the role of Macbeth, but it's not just my business, it depends on the ...... cooperate with them."

"That's fine, you don't care about the rest, if you really want to play, just play your own role. It's just that the time is a little tight, and the performance starts at seven o'clock in the evening, which is about five or six hours of preparation time. Zhou Xiuying was very relieved of his skills, "I have to put on a little makeup, and maybe change the size of my clothes." Moreover, we had to get the score and script of the opera first, and now they are more anxious than we are. ”

Qin Fangge nodded, why didn't he understand?

Xi Wanqing and Qian Feifei soon joined in, and after getting Qin Fangge's confidence to play the role of Macbeth well, Qian Feifei also made a five-body expression to him, "I think you are the only one in the world who has such confidence and courage!"

Qin Fangge smiled, "Anyway, things can't be worse, and I don't have to have any psychological pressure!"

After laughing at him a few words, Qian Feifei immediately entered the work mode and pulled Xi Wanqing along. Zhou Xiuying's words are to help Qin Fangge, and her experience is quite important.

"It is our responsibility to strive for the greatest benefits, Qin Fangge, you just need to study the opera well, although it came a little suddenly, but I believe that you will definitely not disappoint everyone." Qian Feifei finally said to Qin Fangge.

He Xiong also had high hopes for him, feeling that Qin Fangge was more divine than a precision robot, and when he said this, he must be sure to memorize all the lines and music. His strong ability to memorize music has long been confirmed by everyone, and he who works in the opera house has long heard a lot of such news.

Not to mention Xi Wanqing, who knows him the most, in her eyes, Qin Fangge is almost an omnipotent god, in his profession, as long as he says he can do it, he will definitely be able to do it.

While the few of them got together to discuss, the other opera singers continued to rehearse, which, by the way, was also paid for rehearsals.

Camilo seemed to want to make a final effort, and made a lot of phone calls to go out, but unfortunately there was no result, except that everyone in the circle knew that the Roman Opera House was now in debt and needed to be reduced urgently. There is no rehearsal cooperation with the opera singers here, and it is also the most important factor, although it is very good to save the scene, but no one wants to ruin their reputation for a lifetime.

He also called Varano's agent and asked Varano to answer the phone, but Varano was really sick and even his voice was hoarse. If he is really acting, he will pay too much.

At this point, Camilo had to give up his illusions and accept Domenico and their proposal instead, and he also made a final go, putting the bet on Qin Fangge, the so-called musical genius and the world's No. 1 tenor. He didn't really understand why Domenico and Cosimo had such a high regard for Qin Fangge, and even made such a proposal that seemed to them to be almost ridiculous.

Camillo is a very realistic person, as long as he can do his job well and save the Roman Opera House in the quagmire, he doesn't care which opera singer is used. What he really cares about is how much the opera house has to give, and how little money can afford, which is why most opera singers are reluctant to come.

Others, such as the glory of the opera house, pride, glorious history, etc., do not seem to be worth mentioning in the face of survival.

When Camillo really made up his mind, he acted with great force, just as he did to dismiss the symphony orchestra and choir of the opera house. Of course, the real decision is not in his hands, the Italian government and the city government of Rome are insanely poor, and if they don't allocate funds, it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and Camilo has no good way to reduce costs. These opera singers are the most paid, and it is not surprising that they will be stabbed.

Camilo quickly left the office and found Domenico and Cosimo, asking them how they had just found out, whether Qin Fangge had the ability to save the scene, and most importantly, "Has he rehearsed Macbeth before?"

"No," replied Domenico, "but if he is willing to save the day, he must have the ability, we can be sure of that." ”

Cosimo nodded, "The key is to show sincerity from the opera house, otherwise why would he help us, wouldn't it be better to watch jokes?"

"Then talk to them, I actually know what they want!" Camilo nodded, at this time he didn't dare to say anything to give him a chance to perform, neither Dominico nor Cosimo said such a thing.

Domenico and Cosimo also know the purpose of Zhou Xiuying's trip, and they have a lot of choices, and they can cooperate with other opera houses, and the biggest reason for choosing the Roman Opera House is that when Qin Fangge was in the time, he might make movies in Rome.

"Chinese are very rich!" also reached a consensus among several people, otherwise, how could there be so many famous opera actors, rushing to co-produce opera with the National Center for the Performing Arts of China, in fact, to go to Yanjing to make money. This is not only the case in the opera world, but also symphony orchestras, pianists, violinists, etc., all of them, and the annual tour of China is not small, at least, it is much better than sticking to Europe and the United States.

This time, Zhou Xiuying and they plan to bring Qin Fangge's original Western opera "Don Juan" to Italy to perform, and it is the whole class, including the symphony orchestra and choir, which is completely a local tyrant.

Let the poor eyes of the Roman Opera House be hot, but their advantage is not so easy to take advantage of, the Chinese are very smart, and it is inevitable to deal with them more, and Camillo is also deeply aware of this.

But Domenico and Cosimo don't seem to care about the price of the opera house, they only value the arts. If it could do a miracle, it would be the best. Of course, the two of them also emphasized this point, the decline of the Roman Opera House is an indisputable fact, and they are on the verge of bankruptcy, so don't make so many shelves. If a dead horse is used as a live horse doctor, there may be a glimmer of life, and Qin Fangge's box office appeal in China is incomparable.

In Italy, Dominico and his family believe that if he is willing to go on stage, the audience will surely become his fans, even if he is not the one he is best at.

Macbeth in the opera is a baritone, and the most shocking thing about Qin Fang's song is his tenor who crosses the limits of human beings, which is simply sung to the bottom of people's hearts.

"I swear with all the credit of my career that I had never heard such a wonderful voice of God before him. When Domenico spoke, his hands danced, his eyes were excited, his expression was excited, and his white beard was shaking.

Camillo wondered if he had a mental problem, and he was annoyed that Qin Fangge, this guy, had not behaved well since he came over under the banner of communication, and he had come at the right time to see the jokes of the Roman Opera House.

No matter how reluctant he was in his heart, Camilo still had to lower his posture and ask Qin Fangge to help put out the fire. He didn't expect Domenico and Cosimo to help them at all, they probably wished the opera house had something more! Of course, they also had a legitimate reason not to lose their trust in the audience's good reputation for the sake of the opera's good name.

Cosimo even irresponsibly said to Camilo, "There is no worse situation now!"

Camilo was still wondering if if he could also rely on Qin to release the song if he had a bad response. Of course, he still hopes that the evening performance will go smoothly and satisfy the audience, and it is better to increase the attendance of the opera house from now on. This is a bit of an extravagant hope, but people still have to have some ideals, right?

When a few people met with Qin Fangge and them again, the particularly pragmatic Camillo didn't talk about those vanity anymore, and talked to Zhou Xiuying and them straight to the point, and there was no time for him to waste!

Camillo is rarely refreshing, and Zhou Xiuying and Qian Feifei don't go around in circles with him.

Instead, Qin Fangge took out the cold and proud posture of an artist, did not talk to Camillo about these vulgar entanglements of interests, and left the matter to them to discuss. And his scene is quite beautiful, "We came all the way to Italy, the hometown of opera, this time just to feel the endless charm of opera." Everyone is for the ideals and art in their hearts, and when friends are in trouble, they lend a helping hand and help others, which is also the basic principle that Mr. Zhou has always taught us to be a human being. I am also fortunate to have worked with so many famous masters, and I hope to learn more through this experience. ”

This beautiful remark that occupies the highest point can choke Camilo, but it can't be shown on the surface, and I have to thank Qin Fangge for his great mercy and saving the Roman Opera House from fire and water.

Domenico and Cosimo were also happy about such things, especially after they received Qin Fangge's assurance that they would do their best, their faces were even more overjoyed, this will, even if they sell the opera house to Qin Fangge, they are probably willing. In other words, Camillo probably wants to throw away the money-losing goods of the opera house, and in such a difficult time, the pressure on his body and the grievances he suffered are no less than those of Domenico and them.

Qin Fangge was not so easy, this was also a huge challenge for him, and there was really not much time left for him. He also asked Domenico if they wanted the script for the opera, as a repertoire for the opera house, which they must have, and all of them were genuine.

Domenico was more receptive to Qin Fangge's genius, and they were not surprised that it would take him two hours to fully understand the entire opera. It seems that this is in line with his name as a genius, and it is certainly not possible to replace ordinary people, or even themselves, you know, this is an opera of nearly three hours. They spend several times more time just than the show just by browsing it, and privately, everyone spends more effort. Symphony orchestras and choirs are better, especially opera singers, who need to repeatedly figure out the emotional psychology of the characters and practice diligently, not only singing but also acting.

"I feel like we're witnessing a miracle!" said Domenico with a smile as he gave Qin Fangsong the thick script of the score.
