Chapter 1095: Brain Supplement
readx(); Qin had a tight time to put on the song, so he didn't toss about the other things, Zhou Xiuying also asked him to concentrate on studying the opera "Macbeth", and Xi Wanqing and Qian Feifei were solely responsible for other things. Bayi ???? Chinese (1)?? It's not like cooperating with each other once or twice, they all understand, it's not easy to fool them, it's okay if they don't fool others.
Soon it was lunchtime, and Camero, a miser, didn't say anything about inviting guests to dinner, although Xi Wanqing didn't look down on them at all, so what did they mean! The dignified Roman Opera House is so poor that it can't afford to entertain a meal?
But this is harmless, the old Jianghu Zhou Xiuying is very familiar with this side, and she herself is not happy to go to the canteen of the opera house to eat, the things are expensive and not delicious, it is better to go out to eat in the restaurant outside, anyway, it is not far, you can walk. She took Qin Fang's singing seat, Wanqing, Qian Feifei, and He Xiong to eat outside, and the other members of the opera house also foraged for food, and then rehearsed at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and some had time to eat.
Qin Fangge listened to everything arranged by the organization, but he also had a stubborn side, and he didn't care about Qian Feifei's jokes, "You musical genius are still working so hard, you really don't plan to give others a way to live!"
He still brought a thick script to dinner, but Zhou Xiuying was very appreciative of his behavior, praising him, "The hard work and sweat behind his genius are indeed far superior to others, and there is nothing wrong with this! Today something happened suddenly, everyone did their best to do their best and truly win glory for the country!"
Xi Wanqing also nodded, she was also one of the people who knew Qin Fangge's diligence best. And I have to say that Zhou Xiuying still has a very traditional Chinese thinking in her bones, and in a foreign country, she also wants to win glory for the country.
Qian Feifei and He Xiong have just talked to Camillo, his attitude has changed a lot compared to the previous time, and his tone has loosened a lot, but he has not made a specific decision, and he will continue to talk in the afternoon. They also like this. Although the economic situation of the Roman Opera House is not very good, its influence in Italy is still quite large, and it is the most suitable as a front station for Qin Fangge to enter the local Italian opera scene. Camillo can't give much money, it's always okay to make some compensation in other aspects, everyone can achieve a win-win situation!
As for Qin Fangge's reading of the script or something, there is no need to worry about it at all, if it is really inappropriate, it is a big deal not to go up, it is Camillo who is worried. He has a deeper understanding of the opera, which is a good thing. And with his character, he would rather study art than deal with a professional manager like Camillo.
So far, Qin Fangge has participated in several formal opera performances, and the rehearsal of "Don Juan" is in full swing, and he knows all kinds of precautions early. But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to do.
Just like when he listens to the record of the opera "Macbeth", there is quite a big difference between it and the live performance. Different symphony orchestras, choirs, and, most importantly, opera singers perform together.
The situation is very different.
And different opera singers have different understandings and portrayals of their roles. For example, in "Macbeth", Suzanne and Cynthia, two female opera singers, have very different understandings of the ruthless Lady Macbeth. This will also be manifested in their performances on stage, which are transmitted to the audience through singing, body language, expressions, etc.
In the morning, when Suzanne was practicing, Qin Fangge listened carefully, she felt that Lady Macbeth loved her husband too much, and in her eyes, her husband was the king who was the unyielding king, so everything she did was to help her husband. This complex and unlikable woman is particularly complex, and it is not easy to shape well. When Bellini was composing, he also put forward high technical and artistic requirements for soprano singers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the most difficult soprano roles in opera. In the opera, he integrated the role of Lady Macbeth through a dramatic soprano, a flowery soprano, and a mezzo-soprano. At the same time, it is also necessary for the actors to fully express the strong drama and the multiple inner worlds of the characters when singing. dudu1();
Cynthia, who rotated with Suzanne last night, liked Lady Macbeth's ruthlessness and said that this was what attracted her the most. Therefore, when playing this role on stage, Cynthia was more in line with Bellini's ideas and felt that such a role would be more interesting.
If Qin Fangge wants to play the role of Macbeth, he must also take into account the cooperation with Susanna, and it is impossible to take care of himself. But Zhou Xiuying also reminded him, "You don't have to worry so much, it's not realistic for you to take care of others in everything, and it is likely to lead you to the ditch." Whether it's your aura or singing, you can completely suppress the audience, it's the most correct choice for you to go with the rhythm, and the audience is also happy to see fresh understanding, unchanged things, and you will feel tired of watching too much. ”
Qin Fangge nodded and said, "Well, I'll take a good grasp of the balance in this." ”
"Don't be afraid to steal the show, even though it's a classic from the Roman Opera. Zhou Xiuying even encouraged him, "The strength of other opera singers is not bad, but we all believe that your performance must be the best." When it's time to perform, you don't need to be modest at all, and show real strength! In the comprehensive art of opera, you have to understand it much more deeply than them......
It's not that Zhou Xiuying deliberately praised him, but he really thinks that Qin Fangge, a demon who "creates" operas by himself, has no research and understanding of all aspects of it that can be compared to those opera singers, although they have performed for so many years. Genius can never be judged by common sense.
As we all know, music in opera is the most important.
But now, whether it is Zhou Xiuying or Qin Fangge, there is no way to influence the orchestra and choir, although Cosimo admires him very much, he also has his own style and ideas. Other opera singers are also like this, if Qin Fangge wants to perform on stage, he can do a good job.
is not like his own opera "Don Juan", directed by Zhou Xiuying, and all the styles of expression are created by them.
Playing the role of Macbeth, there are quite a lot of things.
Qin Fangge's first thing is to be familiar with all the operas, and he knows it well, and he also has to respect the creator of the opera, Master Bellini.
While waiting for the meal, Zhou Xiuying didn't bother him much, and chatted with Qian Feifei and the others, discussing the terms of cooperation with the Roman Opera House. She even suggested that Xi Wanqing, "After the evening performance is officially confirmed, I will still make a Weibo on his behalf to promote it." This is Qin Fangge's foreign performance, and it can't be too quiet......"
Xi Wanqing nodded, she has Qin Fangge's Weibo account, he rarely does it himself, her mobile phone is the same model as his, and there is basically no problem with the operation. She is very familiar with these things. dudu2();
Zhou Xiuying has been promoting opera for so many years, and she also deeply understands the truth that the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, not only does she not reject publicity, but she also promotes and promotes opera on various occasions when she is a judge in TV and newspapers. It's a pity that I don't know if it's because the opera is too lofty or what, the publicity effect in the past has never been very good, but after Qin Fangge, a high-value musical genius, became popular, it had such an unexpected effect on the promotion of opera. Zhou Xiuying even regretted that she wasted too much time in the past, and she knew that she would accept more handsome guys and beauties as students.
But she just thinks about it, this is not so easy, if the young people are not strong enough, it is likely to have the opposite effect. Among the actors who starred in the opera, there are really few actors who look like Qin Fangge.
Looking at the opera singers who are now active on the world stage, including tenors, baritones, and sopranos, and soprano and contralto, all of whom are at least thirty years old, this ability to attract fans is really greatly reduced.
Now the best way to publicize is new media such as Weibo, and there are similar social platforms abroad, and many celebrities and even government officials can be listed on it, so that people all over the world know about it for the first time.
Qian Feifei also nodded and said, "It's good to promote it on Weibo, not to mention increasing the attendance rate, so that everyone knows about it." ”
"I don't know if Camillo's cunning guy will invite newspapers, television stations and other media to report on it!" He Xiong said, "In my opinion, this is very likely!"
"That's the best!" Xi Wanqing said with a smile, "Test the water first, and when "Don Juan" is staged, we can also find a TV station to broadcast live to expand our influence to a greater extent." ”
"This has to ask them to contact the opera house. Zhou Xiuying also nodded, "For now, we still buy our own tickets to support the opera career!"
They have no opinion on this point, Qian Feifei has no opinion, there have been small calculations before, the ticket price of the Roman Opera House is not as high as the ticket price of the National Center for the Performing Arts of China, and they dare not set it too high, otherwise the attendance rate will be lower.
Several people attach great importance to this attendance rate, and it is naturally best to have a full seat or even sit down. There will be standing tickets sold before the opening, and because there was a performance of "Macbeth" a few days ago, the attendance rate was about 70%, so today's tickets were naturally not sold out. Zhou Xiuying also hopes that after the news of Qin Fangge's appearance comes out, the attendance rate will reach 100%, and the higher his box office appeal, the more favorable they will be when they negotiate.
When eating, several people talked about this aspect of the same thing.
Qin Fangge himself was much simpler, and he didn't participate in their discussions, but concentrated on the score and script, there was the original version, but it was much more direct than listening to the record. dudu3();
Regarding the plot, Qin Fangge can't let down his vigilance, at the very least, he must write down all the lines of the character of Macbeth, what he says in what things, what kind of expressions he makes, and what kind of interactive performances he has with others.
Seriously, if you have a slightly poor memory, it's almost an impossible task in just a few hours. Even Qin Fangge himself is full of brainpower, desperately trying to understand and remember, and finally has to perform it. A three-hour opera will take a long time just to make up for the brain.
It's a very regular opera in four acts, but Bellini has undergone a number of changes since it was written. But mainly in music, the general plot has not changed much.
Of course, there is still a considerable difference between the opera version and Shakespeare's drama version, especially the role of Lady Macbeth in it. Macbeth was more like being pushed by Lady Macbeth in the early stage, so that Xi Wanqing and Qian Feifei were all sighing, "The opera "Macbeth" fully shows that men conquer the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men!"
The prelude to the entire opera consists of several themes from the play. The opening woodwind theme is from the witch scene at the beginning of Act 3, and the following section is from the ghost music of the same act. The pathetic melody of the second half is a presentation of the music of Lady Macbeth's "Sleepwalking Scene" in Act IV.
Even a conductor like Cosimo can't study these musical things thoroughly in such a short time like Qin Fangge.
And Qin Fangge also had to make up the scene of the opera, the first scene of the first act, born in the wilderness near Forles.
In the script, it is written that in a wild forest in Scotland, thunder and lightning flickered in the dim sky, and in the rumbling thunder, they read books (.co) and sang incantations, made noise, and danced. At this moment, the sound of small drums came from behind the stage, and the two generals of King Duncan of Scotland, Macbeth and Banke, passed by. When the witches saw this, they immediately prophesied to Macbeth, "You will be Lord of Court, and when you become Lord of Court, you will ascend to the throne of King Scotland." ”
At the same time, the witches also predicted that Banquo would have a child as a king. Soon the king's messenger came and delivered the decree that Macbeth should be appointed lord of Court. The two of them were amazed at the immediate fulfillment of the witch's prophecy. And Macbeth's heart has already ignited the ambition to ascend to the throne.
The protagonist of Macbeth, which Qin Fangge wants to play, is still a big hero who has returned triumphantly at this time, but the music and his singing have already paved the way for the future.
In the second scene of Act I, he was born in the hall of Macbeth's Castle. Lady Macbeth appears, reading a letter from her husband, who is now Lord Court, and seeing the witch's prophecy mentioned in the letter, her ambition is too high to suppress, and she is ready to push her husband Macbeth to usurp the throne by any means necessary. At this time, Bellini set up a difficult aria for Lady Macbeth from reading the letter. He even had the following requirements for the soprano who played Lady Macbeth: "It's ugly and evil, and when you sing it, you have a sharp voice, and there is some kind of devilish element." ”
It's a very difficult test and it's very unconventional.
