However, the Japanese still know how to be flexible, and they naturally will not say that Qin Fangge is as divine as Zeus or Don Juan. Rather, he boasted that he was more brilliant and musically superior than the god of music "Apollo", after all, Apollo was only a mythical figure, and no works came out.

The enthusiasm and exaggeration of the Japanese made even Qin Fangge, who had always been thicker than the city wall, a little embarrassed.

As for being compared to Apollo, Qin Fangge doesn't have any special feelings, although in Greek mythology, Apollo has a lot of black history, and he is also a particularly romantic character. Gustave Moreau's "Apollo and the Nine Muses" is about this.

According to Greek mythology, Apollo was in charge of music and harp, as well as the inspiration of poetry. Both the psalmist and the prophet relied on his revelation. Apollo was very good at playing the harp, and his beautiful melody was like a natural sound, Apollo was also proficient in archery, and his arrows were never missed, Apollo was also the god of medicine, and he passed on the medicine to the people, and because he was intelligent and knowledgeable, he was also the god of prophecy. Apollo was in charge of music, medicine, and fables, and was the most versatile and handsome male god in Greek mythology, and Apollo was at the same time a symbol of male beauty. This talent certainly appealed to the goddesses, especially the nine muses of art and science, and we now see many paintings of Apollo surrounded by the muses.

Then, in the tradition of Greek mythology, every god has his own shortcomings, the greater the mana, the greater the shortcomings, and the things he does are not reliable, such as Aphdirota does not allow anyone to be more beautiful than her, Athena does not allow anyone to be smarter than her, Hera does not allow anyone to touch her husband (and her husband can't move him), Apollo is not allowed to be more accomplished than him in music, nor is he allowed to be better at archery than him, which also leads to a feud with Cupid, the god of love.

So Cupid shot Apollo with a pointed golden arrow that could inspire love, and a blunt lead arrow that could make people reject love shot Daphne, the nymph of Mizusawa who was bathing in the river, and made her lie down and be shot. The two started a love chase battle, the god and Qin Fangge are almost the same, most of them are very energetic, and they chase Daphne to the ends of the earth. Daphne could only ask her father, the river god Pennius, for help, asking the earth to swallow her, destroy her form, and save her from being chased. As soon as she finished speaking, her body became stiff, her body grew tender skin, her hair turned into green leaves, her arms turned into branches, her legs became roots, and Daphne became a laurel tree.

Apollo, who finally arrived, was grief-stricken, and faced with the laurel tree, which had completely lost its human form but still had a thousand postures, because of love and hatred, thinking that if I can't get your heart, I will get your people, and if I can't get you, I will also get your tree. I will make thee my sacred tree, and I will make thee a crown and put it on my head, and I will adorn thee with thee a harp and a quiver, and thou shalt be evergreen and never wither. So most of the paintings we see now depict Apollo, he wears a laurel wreath on his head.

Then, many famous painters also painted many classic paintings based on this, such as John William Waterhouse's "Apollo and Daphne".

And about Apollo's anger over music, it involves Athena and another unlucky god.

It is said that Athena captured a deer in the forest, made a flute out of its antlers, and played it in front of the gods. The melody is very beautiful, but her nemesis, Hera and Aphdirote, are covering their mouths and snickering at her, and she quickly runs away for some reason. At the edge of the pond in the forest, she finally discovered the reason for the ridicule, because she played the flute and blushed and looked so ugly. In a fit of rage, Athena throws away the flute and curses the misfortune of those who pick it up. This inexplicable curse was fulfilled, and the hapless forest god Ma Xi'a picked up the flute and played a moving melody with it. His musical talent was recognized by everyone, and some even compared him to Apollo, and word of mouth eventually reached Apollo's ears.

Polo was furious and wanted to test with Masia, but Masia, who didn't know how thick the sky was, even agreed. So Apollo brought in the muses to serve as judges. In the first round, Apollo played the harp, and Masia played the flute, and the two were evenly matched. In the second round, Apollo shamelessly made a suggestion, and everyone played the instrument upside down, and the result can be imagined, whether the harp was turned upside down or the harp, and the flute was turned upside down, whether it was to be blown or sucked?

Titian's work "The Passion of Masia" is about this, most of the gods are like this, moody, all kinds of desires are infinitely strong, and they are all very arrogant.

In short, the situation is particularly complicated, not only in Greek mythology, but also in later Roman literature, and many stories have been added, such as the love chase between Apollo and Daphne.

Apollo can be regarded as a clear stream in Greek mythology, and he is also the perfect main god loved by the world in the end.

Now the Japanese compare Qin Fangge to Apollo, which really makes other people, especially Koreans, embarrassed!

Anyway, Qin Fangge can still hold it, even if he laughs, but the Japanese still seem to take this seriously!

However, no matter how much they boast, Qin Fangge will not invite them to dinner, he still eats at the Grand Theater at night, and he will also go to remove his makeup first, so he will say goodbye to these two waves of international friends first, and make an appointment to see him tomorrow night.

Shen Jianping and the others were the same, rehearsed for an afternoon, and communicated with everyone for more than an hour, and their physical energy was exhausted.

When they went backstage to remove their makeup, Shen Jianping and her senior sisters did not forget the joke, "The Japanese are really exaggerated!"

Zhai Liyin also said, "I think they really treat Qin Fangge as a god!"

"In the past, those foreigners didn't praise him for being God in the world, God-like existence, and so on! Oh my God, we are so happy to be on the same stage with God!" Zhou Hongxia, an opera singer, imitated the exaggerated expressions of the Japanese.

"Didn't you look at those little Japanese girls? It's like seeing Apollo...... Our little brother's appearance is not comparable to Apollo's. Shen Jianping said with a smile.

When this group of soprano singers gossiped, they also gossiped endlessly, "What you said is not right, they say that Qin Fangge is more handsome than Apollo." It's a pity that his muse isn't around, otherwise, it would be even more revealing!"

Zhou Xiuying didn't stop them from gossiping about such boring things, in her opinion, this can be regarded as a proper relaxation after hard work!

Qin Fangge doesn't have too much say in this group of opera singers, especially when he rests in private, even if they laugh at him in reality, he is much more charming than Don Juan in the opera, and the women he conquered are not only in Europe, but also in Japan.

He also took advantage of the leisure time to remove his makeup and change clothes, looked at his phone, and replied to a few text messages. At this time, Xi Wanqing, Xu Jing, and Chen Yushan were taking Ning Xiupei and a pair of twin students shopping for things, and asked him if he would like to eat together later, Qin Fangge naturally didn't have time to go, so he just let them go shopping and not be afraid of spending money......

Then, he also sent a message back to Chen Tianhong, saying what Xu Jing said last night, about the selection of underwear by their girls, and asked her to organize the language to talk to other sisters, and then contact Xu Jing, measure it first and then look at their own decisions, if they decide to customize, it will also be the cost price and other things.

Chen Tianhong also quickly replied to the message, "I love you to death! Hehe, I have long known that their efforts are particularly valuable, and they have solved everyone's urgent needs! Mine also needs to be adjusted, I feel that it has really become a lot bigger, and I have to buy it again." ”

Long Xueyao's words, Qin Fangge could only say sorry, he basically couldn't go out at night, so he asked her to practice the piano by herself and rest early, coaxing her to say, "I hope that when I see Xue Yao on the stage of the opera house tomorrow night, Xue Yao is the most beautiful and eye-catching girl in the audience!"

Dinner is still in the cafeteria, Zhou Xiuying also allows everyone to relax for a while, and after eating and resting, make a final summary, tomorrow night is the official performance. She is in a very good mood today, the rehearsal is very smooth, and she is also in front of her Japanese and Korean counterparts, and she has raised her face fiercely, although the ultimate goal is not the Japanese and Korean markets, but the more demanding European and American audiences, but everyone is very happy in their hearts.

Not to mention them, the staff of the National Center for the Performing Arts also felt very angry, and they all believed, "After the official performance tomorrow night, our country's opera industry can reach a higher level!"

Now Qin Fangge and the staff are also very familiar with each other, because they often have to command people to do things, there is still a considerable difference between calling out their names and not being able to call them out, if Qin Fangge knows them, at least people will feel that being respected has the value of existence, and they will be more attentive to their work.

I didn't toss for too long this night, and they all dispersed before nine o'clock, and Zhou Xiuying also knew the principle of combining work and rest, so she gave everyone a half-day off, and she had to arrive at one o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

They said goodbye and went home, Qin Fangge still sent Zhou Xiuying home, she didn't talk about the opera performance, but cared about Qin Fangge's mother Ning Xiupei, he replied, "They don't have to worry about going shopping to buy clothes and food, they all want to dress up and appear beautifully." ”

Zhou Xiuying is also happy, "Women love beauty, and there will be a drinking party from tomorrow afternoon, so it's not too much to dress up." When the time comes, you don't have to worry about it, I think Xi Wanqing is still very reliable, and you also need such a woman to help you take care of some affairs that are inconvenient for you......"

Qin Fangge only smiled and said that he was lucky, and Zhou Xiuying said that luck is also part of strength, and on the way back, he also told him some related topics, and let him continue to carry it forward, and he was a little more restrained in public, but he couldn't be cowardly when he should play a big name, otherwise it would only achieve the opposite effect.

He also nodded and thanked Mr. Zhou for his experience and earnest teachings, and after sending her home, he went straight home. He called Ning Xiupei and learned that they were almost home when they went home after dinner, and naturally they still lived in the courtyard at night, and the rooms had been cleaned up.

When Qin Fangge drove to the outside of the courtyard by herself, Xi Wanqing had already sent them off and drove away, and she didn't see her car outside. When they opened the door and entered the house, Ning Xiupei and Chen Yushan, as well as sisters Song Zixuan and Song Zimo, were still counting their achievements today. And seeing Qin Fangge come back, the two sisters Song Zixuan and Song Zimo immediately put down the things in their hands, cheered loudly and trotted all the way to him, holding his arms and hanging him on his body one left and one right.

Ning Xiupei, the strict master, also shook her head helplessly, "You two are big girls, give me some attention, I haven't seen each other for a few days?"

"There's no outsider here!" the two sisters only giggled, "it always feels like a long time has passed!"

Song Zixuan is also very good at finding reasons, "My brother didn't call us on his birthday, so it feels like a long, long time!"

But Qin Fangge was quite disgusted with them, "You guys are heavy again!"

The two sisters suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy with aggrieved expressions, "It's time for people to grow their bodies!"

"You know it yourself, then don't let go of your hands!" Qin Fangge reprimanded in a low voice.

"We are still young, and besides, the big brother is getting more and more fierce!" Song Zimo blinked his eyes aggrievedly but refused to let go, Song Zixuan was similar, and also complained, "The big brother's temper is getting bigger and bigger!"

Ning Xiupei also scolded them, "The dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know the hearts of good people, he is not all for your good! His image and reputation are like that anyway, you want to be the same as him?"

Qin Fangge was still laughing, but he was also beaten by Ning Xiupei, "You can still laugh, when this Don Juan is staged, I don't know how many people will compare you with Don Juan!"

"Big brother is not as ruthless as Don Juan!"

"Yes, the eldest brother is very nostalgic!" Sister Song Zimo also said good things for him.

Ning Xiupei could only scoff at this, "In the eyes of others, isn't it the same as liking the new and hating the old and not getting tired ......of the old?

Qin Fangge still felt very good about himself, and persuaded him, "Mom, you really don't have to care too much, what people say we can't care, just live our own life, anyway, I don't rely on image to eat!"

Song Zixuan nodded in agreement, "That's it, my brother is enough to rely on his talent alone!"

"And the appearance can't be ignored, it's also the genes of Teacher Ning and Teacher Qin, so that the big brother is better than the blue!" Song Zimo is very good at shooting horses.

"You two little slippery heads, you have to restrain me a little when you're outside!"

It's just that Sister Song Zixuan is quite aggrieved, "When there are outsiders, there is no such opportunity!"

Chen Yushan has been smiling and watching from the side, and she has been with these sisters for a long time, and with them, life is like acting.
