Chapter 1164: Endorsement
In the afternoon, Qin Fangge was backstage at the opera house to prepare for the evening performance, and Berdych also asked him and Zhou Xiuying to consider the return repertoire. Vertex updates are the fastest
But Zhou Xiuying felt that there was no need to return, and the reason was also very good, "After this opera has been adapted by Qin Fangge, the artistry and musicality have been upgraded to a higher level, and it will definitely bring surprises to the audience." It's not always time to hear a high-pitched C like him!And, as is customary, opera performances don't usually return!"
When it comes to rules or something, Zhou Xiuying is a veteran, and what she said is reasonable.
Qin Fangge listened to Zhou Xiuying about these things, so Berdych and Mendel had to pull down their faces and lower their postures, hoping to persuade Zhou Xiuying. They all have to admit that the audience who came this time was all for Qin Fangge, the world's number one tenor, and the audience always wanted to hear more and better music.
If Qin Fangge returns to "Beautiful Scenery", the audience will definitely be even crazier.
However, Zhou Xiuying stubbornly believes that she can't get used to them too much, if she really forms such a convention, how will Qin Fangge's opera performances be carried out in the future, not every performance will sing this aria. No matter how talented he is, this is a very big burden and pressure for him.
Mendel and they are easy to talk about, and they come up with all kinds of reasons, grinding hard, and finally let Zhou Xiuying relax, but it is absolutely impossible to return to the most difficult "Beautiful Scenery". As for what they said about his previous performance at the Roman Opera House, wasn't that the baritone he played?
Qin Fangge was also worried that setting such a precedent would be difficult to do in the future!
Of course, neither he nor Zhou Xiuying is a particularly pedantic person, and they are also very flexible. Zhou Xiuying chose a Chinese song for him as the encore, choosing "I Come Up Like a Snow Flower", this song he can also sing to the pitch of the high C. But in terms of difficulty, it is still inferior to the nine treble Cs in one minute of "Beautiful Scenery".
If Qin Fangge is willing, he can soar higher, and the difficulty is even higher. But there's no need for that at all! If you can sing a high-pitched C, it will give the audience face and be worthy of their ticket price.
Zhou Xiuying has a lot of plans for his career, and he can't satisfy all the audience's appetites at once, he must retain some strength. This is completely different from what she asks other students to do, all of whom must do their best to showcase their talents and strive to be recognized by more audiences.
To be honest, with the advancement of vocal technology, there are not a few tenor opera singers who can sing a high C or even higher, and many of Zhou Xiuying's students can also do it. But this is not just the pitch, timbre, volume, emotional performance, etc., are quite important evaluation criteria. And if you are not ready, you will be very damaging to your voice.
Qin Fangge is a special case, he has a particularly high degree of control over his body, and he will not ruin his singing career by dying. In addition, he actually has a lot of choices, and there are bel canto songs like "My Sun", "Pursuit", "I Love You China" and so on that can be brought back to the show.
Anyway, after the encore song was set, Berdych and the others breathed a long sigh of relief. That is, Qin Fangge, everyone has high expectations for him, just like Bekaz, who participated in the performance last night, and he didn't see the audience asking him to return. Berdych didn't bother to mention it, and if Bekaz wanted to know, he would definitely say that he was really lying down and getting shot.
The Encore Orchestra also had to rehearse, but this kind of accompaniment was not a problem at all for such a high-level Philharmonic Orchestra. They are not the protagonists, they are supporting roles that are ignored by the audience, but it must also be admitted that with orchestral accompaniment, it is still much better than a cappella, whether it is momentum or emotion, it will be better!
Qin Fangge and Zhou Xiuying were busy preparing for the performance, and Xi Wanqing and Qian Feifei followed suit, and when it came to professional issues, they couldn't interject. But soon, Xi Wanqing also had something to do, some domestic mobile phone manufacturers, through the relationship with the embassy, contacted them, and they also got tickets to enjoy Qin Fangge's opera performance tonight. The gang also got to the opera house early, which has high-end restaurants and other things, which is also very suitable for talking about things.
Before, Foreman and the others had a drinking party on the territory of the opera house.
Since Qin Fangge became famous, there have been many advertisers who want to endorse him, but he has not received any endorsements at all. Many advertisers and manufacturers have the mentality of trying, and the sincerity is not so sufficient, or the endorsement fee is a lot, but there are a lot of requirements. Xi Wanqing didn't bother to pay attention, and Qin Fangge also said that he didn't have time to participate in activities or shoot commercials.
This time, Zeng Zhiping, general manager of Zhongsheng, a high-end brand of Xia Hua Mobile Phone, contacted Xi Wanqing through Yu Hongchong, the ambassador of the Chinese Embassy in the Czech Republic, and his wife Zhao Yanling. She has to give some face, at the very least, let's talk about it first.
Opera performances are also such social occasions, where there are exchanges in all aspects of culture, commerce, politics and economy, and many people also hope to meet more people and expand their social scope through such opportunities.
Especially abroad, many celebrities and dignitaries are keen to appreciate the high art form of opera, and others are also flocking to it. Not necessarily all of them come to the opera sincerely, but these audiences undoubtedly allow the opera career to continue, you know, the biggest sponsors of opera are still governments. Tickets and other revenues alone are not enough to support opera performances.
Xi Wanqing can now be regarded as Qin Fangge's agent, and she is also thinking about his interests, and she must not be sloppy when she receives such a thing as endorsement. Moreover, it must be agreed by him, but it is certainly no problem to talk first.
Qian Feifei also followed Xi Wanqing to go, and He Xiong did an inspection at the Czech National Opera, and after the two sides established a strategic partnership, the more they knew, the better.
It's a pity that Xue Min and the others are not here, but Xi Wanqing still called them and asked them to help find more information about Xia Hua's mobile phone.
Xi Wanqing and Yu Hongchong, the ambassador to the Czech Republic, as well as Zeng Zhiping and his assistant on Xia Hua's mobile phone, met in the café of the opera house and chatted while drinking coffee.
First of all, chat and contact feelings, they are all Chinese, they all speak Mandarin, and in this foreign country, there seems to be a more common language.
Greetings or something, whether it is Xi Wanqing or Zeng Zhiping, they are all good players.
Yu Hongchong and his wife Zhao Yanling also congratulated Xi Wanqing and them, saying that Qin Fangge's performance at the Czech National Opera had a considerable impact. It is said that in the evening, the president of the Czech Republic, the mayor of Prague and other dignitaries and celebrities will come to cheer and truly win glory for the country.
Zeng Zhiping and the others also complimented them, but unfortunately Qin Fangge was still in the background and didn't hear it with their own ears. They came to Prague this time, definitely not specifically for Qin Fangge's opera performance, but to prepare for the launch of the new machine in Prague.
They are no strangers to this point of Xi Wanqing, and now mobile phone manufacturers like to engage in this set, and various press conferences are particularly high-level, and those who develop conferences abroad also abound, which can be said to be common.
Xia Hua mobile phone is a state-owned enterprise, Zeng Zhiping is also a person in the system, holding a press conference in Prague, and the relationship with the ambassador here is quite good, so there is today's meeting.
After greeting for a while, everyone mainly talked about Qin Fangge's performance in the evening, and then, it was inevitable to talk about Xia Hua's mobile phone, Zhao Yanling also said, "In fact, now Xia Hua's mobile phone, like Qin Fangge, seized the foreign mobile phone market, and everyone went the same way to win glory for the country." If we can work together, it will be a good thing to talk about. ”
Xi Wanqing is still very clear that the current competition in the mobile phone market is extremely tragic. There are both traditional and old mobile phone manufacturers such as Xia Hua, as well as emerging Internet mobile phone manufacturers, and the most profitable are foreign mobile phone brands.
The performance of Xia Hua's mobile phone in China is becoming more and more inadequate, and the state-owned enterprises are all aware of the fact that they have been blind to the original advantages and so many patents in hand. It's just that if you want to make a change, it will also affect the whole body, how difficult it is.
This will be the high-end brand Zhongsheng mobile phone they want to operate, Zeng Zhiping also made a brief introduction to Xi Wanqing, mainly for high-end business people, and want to do it more stylishly. They actually have a lot of advantages, such as solid materials, not comparable to those so-called cost-effective mobile phones, and the prices of mobile phone parts are actually more transparent. He also broke the news that in those invisible places, which are known as cost-effective, cut corners a lot, and they can also do such mobile phones.
Consumers love to eat this set, which is nothing to say, although the current income of Chinese has risen, but it has not reached the extent that everyone is particularly rich, and the pursuit of cost performance is justifiable. These emerging mobile phone brands can only prosper by grasping this point.
In the low-end market, Xia Hua's market share has been declining, and it is no wonder that others, their own death is also a very important factor, poor quality control, and the experience for consumers is quite bad. Especially in the system and software matching, it is even more outrageous.
These Zeng Zhiping naturally won't talk about it, he is now operating the most high-end brand of Xia Hua mobile phone, Zhongsheng mobile phone, naturally the main blow this, high-end atmosphere, style, configuration is not material-free, but also built-in HIFI, a music mobile phone with a special conscience.
This is a little bit related to Qin Fangge's profession, now everyone listens to music, basically using mobile phones, and there are only a few who specialize in buying record players or other music playback equipment. Even if you buy a record and go home, you can extract it and put it on your mobile phone, which is more convenient to listen to.
Zeng Zhiping also said that their Zhongsheng mobile phone is currently focusing on the international market, which is also the most important link in their layout. This time, I wanted to find Qin Fangge to be an endorsement, and I also came with full sincerity.
Of course, it must also be the factor that values Qin Fangge's rising popularity outside, which is not surprising, businesses looking for endorsements in the hope of using the popularity of celebrities to further increase popularity and sales.
They also hope that Qin Fangge's international face can further strengthen the brand influence and appeal of Xia Hua mobile phones in the global high-end market.
Zeng Zhiping also introduced that their generation of Zhongsheng mobile phone is the culmination of Xia Hua's global resources, and the design team and R&D team in China, the United States and Europe work together, and there will be a series of global linkage in marketing, and will be sold around the world. In terms of marketing, it will also invest a lot of money and energy in publicity, and choosing to open a mobile phone conference in Prague is a model of taking the international route.
He also listed the brilliant achievements of Xiahua mobile phone internationalization, the first batch of enterprises to expand the international market, so far the market covers more than 160 countries and regions around the world, and successfully ranked among the "top 100 most valuable Chinese brands". In the overseas market, it contributed more than 70% of the shipments of Xiahua mobile phones. In Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, the market continues to grow rapidly.
He didn't falsify these data, and there was no need for that, and speaking out at this time was also to enhance his persuasiveness and express his strong willingness to cooperate with Qin Fangge.
After listening to their words, Xi Wanqing only asked, "I think it's not good to invite other musicians to endorse according to the standards that used to be yours, such as Zhou Jia, an international piano superstar?"
Zeng Zhiping said, "Zhou Jia does have a high reputation and influence at home and abroad, but according to our survey, the number of his die-hard fans is actually not much, and the outside world has different evaluations. Unlike Qin Fangge, whether it is at home or abroad, industry insiders or ordinary audiences, they are unanimously praised. Compared with Zhou Jia and other Chinese musicians, we are more optimistic about Qin Fangge's performance at home and abroad, and I believe everyone else is the same!"
His assistant said, "And Zhou Jia has received too many endorsements, which has seriously lowered his style and taste." In this regard, we also believe that your strategic vision and level can be said to be completely consistent with our Zhongsheng mobile phone. ”
As for Yu Hongchong, he also fully affirmed Qin Fangge's performance, praising him and saying, "Qin Fangge has now become a symbol of China and a business card for foreign cultural exchanges, which is not my exaggeration, whether it is in Prague or other places, this is the view." ”
Zeng Zhiping also said, "Qin Fangge is very suitable for our Zhongsheng mobile phone position in the global market, the global Zhongsheng hand opportunity to the international Qin Fangge, to create high-end quality for high-end people, to infect high-end users with high-end users, and ultimately to promote the high-end brand image of Zhongsheng mobile phone." We all know that a great artist like Qin Fangge can enter the palace of art, and his vitality will not disappear with the passage of youth, but will become more and more vigorous. (To be continued.) )
