Chapter 1412: Media
This is a society of personal sophistication, even a genius like Qin Fangge is not exempt from vulgarity.
But on the surface, at least in terms of the image he creates, he doesn't have to get involved in these things, and his own brokerage team takes care of these things.
Xi Wanqing basically only appears in the public eye with him on particularly important occasions now. Usually at that time, there are quite a lot of beauties around him, and Xi Wanqing will not be particularly prominent.
It's Sunday, but Daqin Entertainment Culture Co., Ltd. doesn't have the concept of two days off, and it's not easy to handle all kinds of things well, and the vacation can only be rotated. Xi Wanqing and Qin Fangge, the two big bosses, will go to see when they have time, they are not stingy with employees, the incentive mechanism is very clear, and there is no ambiguity when it is time to recruit people.
But Qin Fangge did not have time to go to the company during the normal work time during the day. He didn't go back this night, but he didn't have any clothes to wear at all, Xi Wanqing, like all good wives and mothers, likes to dress up her lover. also knows that Qin Fangge doesn't like to toss these, but they are different women. On their side alone, Xue Min, He Ruyun, and Xu Jing are all experts, and Xu Jing is also a clothing and jewelry designer.
After saying goodbye to Xi Wanqing, he still drove to pick up Zhou Xiuying first, and then went to the National Center for the Performing Arts together. Time is still quite tight, after Zhou Xiuying stayed overnight, she had some new ideas, so I told him about it first when I was on the way.
After arriving at the National Centre for the Performing Arts Opera Hall, I still go backstage to check the construction of the stage scene, although it is all high-tech now, but the final effect that needs to be presented is still visible to everyone.
After all the personnel arrived, a new day of intense rehearsals began.
In general, an opera takes three to four weeks of rehearsal. They don't opera, and before that, they have been rehearsing one after another. The last week is the final assault, and then the whole rehearsal.
Qin Fangge is still the busiest one, and there is no way, he is the author and the leading actor, and he is also the person who knows this opera the most, and others, including Zhou Xiuying, have to discuss with him.
As for the mental process of creating this opera with a playboy as the protagonist, Shen Jianping and the others don't ask, and the reporters will definitely ask when the media visits the class in the afternoon.
Lunch was still solved in the canteen of the Grand Theater, but with Qin Fangge and a group of big-name singers, the food level in the canteen was obviously quite a notch. Yu Dawei Qi Jun and other contracted artists of the Grand Theater joked that everyone was stained with the light of Qin Fangge. Moreover, it is not only in terms of food, but also in terms of leadership attention and media attention, which is different from the past.
Before that, they performed operas, and it was quite good to have one or two media attention and reports, and it had to be when famous foreign singers came to participate.
It's good now, all the well-known domestic media will be present in the afternoon, so as to naturally get first-hand news reports about Qin Fangge and his opera "Don Juan".
However, Qin Fangge didn't care about these things, and his behind-the-scenes team also communicated with the Grand Theater and did not directly participate in it. It's still the Grand Theater in charge, and they're quite familiar with it. At lunchtime, the person in charge of the brand promotion center and the development department (responsible for the raising of the development fund, in short, the sponsorship) who is in charge of this aspect came over to communicate with Qin Fangge and exchange some details.
Qin Fangge is now a well-deserved star, they know each other very well, and they believe that most of the media's rehearsals are aimed at him. In this era of looking at faces, Qin Fangge's excellent appearance really makes him get twice the result with half the effort.
He now has quite a lot of experience in dealing with media reporters, and there are so many seniors who have experience to talk about, and he will not have stage fright at all. Of course, what he says himself is still the quality of the work.
It's just that everyone still thinks that it depends on how to publicize it, or how to blow it! The Grand Theater still has quite a lot of experience in this regard, and who can't brag about it! Even foreign copycat symphony orchestras can be blown out by them, so that the audience can buy tickets to enter. When it comes to really doing practical things, when they can brag seriously, they even took out a full copy and brought it, which is good for themselves, don't brag about it fiercely, and put gold on their faces, isn't that stupid?
Qin Fangge is now the best golden signboard, before this, the Grand Theater boasted him to be unparalleled on the earth, rare in the sky, a rare genius in a hundred years can not describe his greatness at all, the title of the most outstanding musician singer has long been put on Qin Fangge's head, and appeared on the official website and official Weibo of the Grand Theater.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the long-awaited media was finally able to enter, and all kinds of guns and short guns were lively. It is worth mentioning that the security measures of the Grand Theater are quite strict, and the audience usually knows it when they watch the opera and listen to the concert. There is no way, such a crowded occasion is especially easy to attract terrorist attacks or something. In fact, it is okay at home, but abroad, such opera house concerts attended by many high-ranking officials and dignitaries are even more hateful. Just in the movie, similar attacks and assassinations or something, I don't know how many times they happened.
Naturally, reporters from all walks of life were quite excited, and before that, many reporters had come to interview them, but before the performance, they were basically still in the rehearsal room. Instead of in the opera hall where the performance is now official, unless it is a mainstream media such as China News Agency and CCTV, videos can be filmed in the opera house for news material.
When Qin Fangge starred in the opera "Alonso", he had such an experience and super high treatment. At that meeting, even the supreme leader and the French president came, and finally it was broadcast on the news, which also let the vast number of people who eat melons know that China has produced a "world's first tenor" singer like Qin Fangge.
After the media arrived, Zhou Xiuying also directed everyone to come to several of the most wonderful opera rehearsals.
Although she is an old director, her thinking is not stubborn; on the contrary, she has promoted opera through various channels in the past, and even appeared on television as a judge, but unfortunately the effect is really not very good! Reporters from all walks of life are not interested in such unpleasant things at all, even classical music, including opera, is in the point of dying or living.
It wasn't until Qin Fangge was born that the attention of the Chinese opera industry was greatly improved, and even ordinary people could pop out of their mouths with professional words such as "treble C".
Originally, the Grand Theater initially considered whether to broadcast this visit live, but later it was rejected for many reasons, including reasons such as whether it would reduce the style of the opera. If it's a formal performance, the audience is not allowed to take pictures or videos.
Now that reporters are present, they will naturally relax such restrictions, but they are all like human spirits, and they will think about maximizing their own interests. There are a lot of photos and videos, and the Grand Theater has already communicated with them, and it is okay to send a video, but it must not exceed five minutes, otherwise, they will not use the Grand Theater to watch operas in the future. It's okay to leak some in advance, but it's not good to pass it later. Naturally, journalists know this, and for their own interests, they will not do such things that are too out of line.
And the most practical situation is that many reporters are not very interested in opera at all, and there are no subtitles for it, and with their Italian level, they can't understand it at all...... But this does not prevent everyone from pretending to be elegant, watching the excitement, listening to the melody, watching the performance, and taking stills, which is also a must.
Qin Fangge and Zhou Xiuying have long had such an awareness, don't look at the tickets now, they are selling well, but the audience who comes to the opera has many followers. Either way, it's better than not being noticed, and it's a veritable new audience, and the rest is to impress the audience with the quality of the work.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Xiuying and they can give the media a half-hour rehearsal performance, and then the reporter's favorite interview session.
Qin Fangge, the composer and leading actor, is naturally the focus of reporters' attention, and the Grand Theater has done a great job, not even saying that they will send their staff to be interviewed, and they will give the main creative team a chance.
Reporters are even more eager to do this, interviewing other people has no breaking point at all, and what kind of good news is news that can't attract traffic?
The reporters pointed the microphone at Qin Fangge, and they simply ignored the big opera names like Zhou Xiuying and Shen Jianping around them.
Moreover, the questions raised by these reporters are also quite sharp, the first middle-aged male reporter holding the logo of China News Agency, (a news system that is more powerful than CCTV), and the head is a little bald, and the question is directly aimed at her, "How did you come up with the idea of writing an opera with such a famous playboy as the protagonist? Do you have the same feelings as your own life experience?"
Qin Fangge was not annoyed at all, "The Spanish aristocratic playboy Don Juan is a real historical figure who is particularly famous in the West, and he is quite well-known in our country, at least everyone has heard of this name and understands his general character." This is a very good starting point for opera creation, and the role setting of the love saint is also what the masses of the people like to see. People who create art have a lot of imagination, and there is detailed information that can help me create better. But art comes from life and is higher than life, and I also try to discover more human brilliance in a prodigal aristocrat like Don Juan. I also hope that after everyone has enjoyed this opera in its entirety, they will be touched and gained......"
As far as reporters are concerned, Qin Fangge did not deny that he was admitted, and he could let him go for the time being, and just go back and play freely.
The second female reporter also asked a sharp question, "Now everyone knows that you have become the world's No. 1 tenor, but why did you lead a baritone in your first opera?"
Regarding this, Qin Fangge explained it much more easily and calmly, and the professional vocabulary was also a pile of bubbling out. It is said that it is due to the timbre characteristics of the baritone. It not only maintains the high-pitched brightness of the tenor, but also has the richness and solidity of the bass. This kind of timbre can best highlight Don Juan's noble temperament and natural amorous character traits.
The heaviness and steadiness of the timbre can be called the aristocratic temperament of Don Juan, and the softness of the timbre can reveal his deep affection. Coupled with the change of characters in it, the complex and changeable plot also determines that Don Juan's voice must not only maintain the breadth and brightness of the aristocracy, but also have a light and soft special, which is also the precise positioning of the lyrical baritone.
In short, it's what opera needs.
Qin Fangge talked about this eloquently, and even said, "Actually, I'm not just a tenor! I also believe that the audience wants to hear more things, not just tenors and soprano C!"
The reporters asked, "But many viewers are buying tickets for your world's No. 1 tenor, will it make everyone feel deceived?"
Qin Fangge still coped with it easily, "I don't think the audience who understands opera will have such thoughts, the baritone bass also has the same artistic charm as the tenor." ”
"Isn't there no chance that the audience will want to hear your tenor performance?"
Qin Fangge smiled mysteriously, "There are many opportunities, and life is full of surprises!"
After these sharp questions, reporters can continue to ask a lot of questions, without exception, and they all try to connect Don Juan in the opera with Qin Fangge in reality.
Qin Fangge also said, "Don Juan is a very charismatic aristocrat, young men want to be him, young women want to love him, I don't think I've reached the same level as him." In the opera, Don Juan's glamorous hunts all suffered shameful failures. ”
He even popularized the synopsis of the story: Don Juan stole into Anna's house and tried to seduce her, she shouted for help, alarming her father, who drew his sword to kill the thief but was stabbed to death by Don Juan; Don Juan seduced Ovya with the smell of perfume, but he did not expect that she was one of his ex-wives who was abandoned by himself; he went to seduce the peasant woman Zelina and became the sworn enemy of the farmer Marsetu. Everyone united to kill him. In the end, the ghost of Anna's father, who was stabbed to death by him, invited him to hell.
He knew that many reporters didn't even bother to read the rough script of the story, and by the way, he made an advertisement for his own website with a more detailed plot. Opera is not like a movie, the least afraid of spoilers. And the audience must even do their homework in advance before enjoying the opera, otherwise, they will not understand it at all.
He also revealed more of the opera's content to the media, saying that Don Juan "can't do without women, just like without air". His servant Leporello wanders from place to place every day, acting as a reed, sentinel or scapegoat in his one-night stand hunting for beauty from place to place. Sometimes Leborello would help chase away a woman who was obsessed, pulling out Don Juan's roster and singing as he pulled out Don Juan's roster, and he had 640 women in Italy and a thousand in Spain. He loves fat women in winter, thin girls in summer, aunts when he is young, and Lori when he is old......
And Don Juan's idea is actually very humane - "If I am loyal to one woman, it is cruel to other women".
The media reporters all felt that he was using Don Juan to issue his own declaration, there are so many breaking points, with a little processing, you can write quite attractive news, this trip is worth it!
