Chapter 225: The Visitor

Please keep in mind the permanent website of 88 Reading.com!

Qin Fangge and Zuo Shuqin didn't dare to be late, and after finishing work in the afternoon, they hurriedly ate something and went to the conservatory. (For the latest chapters, please visit 88 Reading Network)

The goal is to build a concert hall that has not been built for a long time, and even during the holidays, the concert hall of the conservatory often has concerts, and various master orchestras come to China to perform and give master classes.

When Qin Fangge and the others went to the concert hall, before they approached, they saw that Shen Jianping was directing some students to be busy, pulling banners, hanging posters, making flower baskets and so on. Before the banner was hung up, Qin Fangge hurriedly stepped forward to help.

But they didn't dare to work Qin Fangge, and a boy with a strong waist said, "Let's do these things, Qin Fangge, do you want to go in and prepare?" I heard you sing at Mr. Zhou's concert last time, it's really good!"

Another boy next to him, who was not as tall as him and looked a little slender, also nodded busily, "Yes! Otherwise, there would not have been any Italian masters coming to our school en masse." ”

Qin Fangge looked at the banner they were holding and said modestly, "It's definitely not because of me!"

The banner reads, "Warmly welcome Italian opera masters to China!"

But the strong man smiled and said, "It's not for you, it's for us?"

Shen Jianping said beside him, "Zhou Jun, Zhang Dong, hurry up and hang up the banner." Qin Fangge, you don't have to join in the fun over there, come here!"

The strong man Zhou Jun hurriedly said yes, and waved Qin Fangge to Shen Jianping's side.

Qin Fangge had no choice but to give up helping and go over to say hello to Shen Jianping. As the director of the vocal opera department of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, Shen Jianping's usual schedule is quite tight, in addition to the teaching work of the conservatory, she also frequently appears on the stage of major opera houses.

It's also Zhou Xiuying's face is big enough, otherwise, who would have thought that Shen Jianping would personally come over to arrange things here, and the concert hall would also have to cooperate.

Qin Fangge worked with Shen Jianping at Zhou Xiuying's concert last time, and he is no stranger to her. Shen Jianping not only has high artistic attainments, but also has a good personality, and is more supportive of younger generations.

Shen Jianping asked him to go in first to prepare, and asked him, "Is there any problem with today's state!"

Qin Fangge replied, "No problem! Teacher Shen will also go to rest." ”

Shen Jianping said with a smile, "I won't be on stage today, and I won't have a symphony orchestra to cooperate today, just a piano accompaniment, when you really test your real kung fu." ”

Qin Fangge nodded, and asked, "The other students are also going to the stage!"

Shen Jianping said, "Let them go first, and it's no problem to arrange you at the end!"

Of course, Qin Fangge said that there was no problem, and Shen Jianping also told him, "It is not easy for students who can come this far! I hope you can be considerate of them." ”

"I know the hard work of my classmates and the hard work of my teachers. Qin Fangge nodded, he himself had been a teacher before, and of course he hoped that the students he taught would have more opportunities to get ahead.

For students studying vocal opera, it is their dream to be recognized by the industry, win awards in competitions, and then perform on the international stage.

"Mr. Zhou told me that you can understand, she is also dedicated to the cultivation and cultivation of opera talents in our country, and the promotion of opera. Shen Jianping was also relieved, and she also said bluntly that a large number of people in the Italian opera industry who flew to China with Zhou Xiuying this time can be said to be completely attracted by Qin Fangge alone.

After Rossini, if he wants to sing this song "Beautiful Scenery" to such a perfect realm, Qin Fangge is just one person.

When Zhou Xiuying went abroad for exchange, she brought the video she got from the music channel, and she originally wanted to sign up for Qin Fangge to participate in next year's Italian International Vocal Competition. But those masters of vocal opera unanimously decided to come to China after listening to Qin Fangge's singing in the video. Because no matter how developed the video recording technology is, it is always as real and shocking as the live singing.

Qin Fangge was not surprised by this, and Shen Jianping also helped him get acquainted with the big figures in the Italian opera industry who came to China this time, such as the famous opera artist Monarque, the music director of La Scala, the conductor of the Milan Symphony Orchestra in Italy, etc., all of whom are the top masters in the classical music industry. 【88 Reading Network Debut】

Shen Jianping seemed to know that Qin Fangge's nerves were thick and he would not be frightened by these names.

Qin Fangge's performance did not surprise her, he just listened quietly, and then tried to write down these names. Ordinary students, after hearing about the strings of halos and titles on the heads of these masters, would almost be frightened.

As for Zuo Shuqin's words, there is no need for Qin Fangge to worry about it at all, there are already many audiences in this concert hall. They are all people in the circle, because these masters of classical music are all improvised, so there is not much time to prepare here, and there is no time to do large-scale publicity.

Shen Jianping: They still have to start a relationship and find someone to cheer them on.

However, the audiences they found were all of quite high quality, and they were basically people in the circle. Whether it's students, teachers, or simply some singers and artists who have already made a name for themselves on the international stage.

It is also a rare opportunity to have a close dialogue with these international masters. In particular, figures of the caliber of La Scala and the conductor of the Milan Symphony Orchestra rarely set foot in China, and are usually approached by others to perform together.

Now they are here for Qin Fangge alone, if they really want to be poked out by the media, it can also be regarded as a big news in the classical music industry.

Before this, Qin Fangge's perfect performance in the concert and his influence were also in China, and the foreign classical music industry rarely paid attention to such concerts dedicated to the motherland, and they didn't expect Qin Fangge to have such amazing potential.

Generally speaking, if there is any new talent with great potential in China, they will be recommended to participate in various vocal competitions abroad. Now there are many international vocal competitions, with more than 200 and nearly 300 in total. There are really a lot of Chinese who have won the gold medal, but in the end, they can stand on their heels in the classical music circle and opera industry, and sign contracts with major opera houses for a long time to sing on stage, that is, only a handful.

Perhaps, in their ears, Chinese singing foreign bel canto songs is the same as Chinese listening to foreigners singing Chinese songs, no matter what, it always feels a little out of place. Pronunciation skills can be practiced to be pure, but there are differences in culture and style that are deeply rooted in the bone marrow, as well as the way emotions are processed and expressed.

Qin Fangge, who is not even a fledgling guy at all, although he made a fuss in China at first, and even the media named him the world's No. 1 tenor, he still couldn't arouse half of people's interest.

It's really because the current media is too unscrupulous, engaging in propaganda and bragging, bragging, and taking nicknames, and I have never done such a thing before, blowing who is the world's No. 1 tenor or the like. In the end, everyone is immune to such a title, and it is only right to show real effort.

Qin Fangge's music videos have also been uploaded by netizens to foreign video websites over the wall, and the name is still appalling. But the click-through rate is not optimistic, on the one hand, Qin Fangge's influence is limited. Even though he had previously invented the popular horseback riding dance and Martian style, it was completely different from classical music.

Although his original piano music collection has also been published, its influence is limited to China. Qin Fangge and the Huaxia Conservatory of Music Publishing House can't spend so much money on promotion and marketing, so they can only let time prove everything.

This time, if Zhou Xiuying hadn't come out in person, these masters with eyes above the top might not have paid attention to Qin Fangge's small role.

In fact, they don't blame them, they hear the news about genius every year, and they receive too many videos and audios about genius. To be honest, people who engage in music are basically talented, but a real genius like Rossini, with a voice blessed by God, is only one of them for decades.

Every year, there are countless newcomers, under the banner of surpassing Rossini, and the final result, needless to say, must have made everyone desperate.

The contestants recommended by Zhou Xiuying personally can still attract the attention of these people. After all, Zhou Xiuying, an old lady, is also a leading figure in the Chinese vocal opera industry, and many student activities she has cultivated on the international stage are also quite outstanding.

Moreover, it is said that Zhou Xiuying selects students, the conditions are very strict, and she even said publicly that her first requirement is to see the talent of the students, whether the voice is good, and how musicality is.

Many people may find it cruel and unkind. Some students who were brushed down by Zhou Xiuying even said indignantly, "He can be more talented than me, but he definitely doesn't work as hard as me!"

But, sorry, talent determines where your ceiling is. It's like you have a bad hand in your hand, no matter how hard you rack your brains and calculate all the tricks, it's not as good as a good hand of other people's cards to win. Not to mention, those who are more talented than you generally work no less than you, or even harder than you.

Some people say that if you want to get ahead in learning music now, several conditions are essential, talent, hard work, money, and the guidance of famous teachers.

Engaging in music is actually no different from other industries, standing at the top of the pyramid, there will always be a very small number of people, the vast majority of people, or peace of mind as the cornerstone, just have fun by yourself.

Moreover, Zhou Xiuying has a high status in the domestic vocal opera industry, speaks and does things neatly, and is not afraid of what others say about her behind her back, for example, she has a bad temper and does not listen to her words, and the most important thing is that she is extremely protective of her shortcomings!

It is precisely because of her strict and almost demanding requirements that she has also accumulated a high reputation in the vocal opera world.

As one of the world's top vocal competitions, the Italian International Vocal Competition must be recommended by senior industry insiders.

It is precisely for her sake that the members of the organizing committee of the competition, that is, the music directors of these major opera houses, famous singers, symphony orchestra conductors, famous music critics, etc., will go to watch the videos she provides.

and then appreciated Qin Fangge's perfect singing voice, although everyone can find a lot of faults.

For example, the level of the China Philharmonic Orchestra is still a little worse, and it has not been able to achieve perfection in the cooperation with Qin Fangge. But they didn't make any more mistakes, and these masters could put up with it.

The Philharmonic Choir is similar, Chinese singing Italian songs, after all, can not have a sense of belonging like Italians. After all, it's not a native language, and there's no personal bond.

Shen Jianping's performance is quite stable, although she is still a little far from the world's top soprano, she can't put all her energy on singing, and she has to be an educator to teach students.

Only Qin Fangge's performance on this song "Beautiful Scenery" is the most impeccable.

What the average audience can hear, of course, these masters who are used to hearing the best tenors in the world sing.

But it is precisely these things, in fact, that are the places that really test the level of a singer, whether the voices are bright, whether the treble is pure and stable, whether the breath is sufficient, and whether there is a resonance with the body. Moreover, the resonance of different cavities of the body has a very different effect. Different operas have different requirements for resonance, some focus on cephalic resonance, while others require thoracic resonance.

But like Qin Fangge now, using the cavity of the whole body and resonating is really unprecedented.

According to the previous customary title, Qin Fangge can be regarded as creating a new bel canto genre!

But how old is he!

Eighteen years old.

Even if his teacher was eighty years old, she couldn't instill in him all the experience of her eighty years old!

People in the industry know that vocal music is particularly difficult, and it is really difficult to sing well.

It feels like playing the whole body as a musical instrument. But you say that it is an instrument like a piano and a violin, no matter how gorgeous the performance technique is, no matter how difficult it is. The instrument itself is quite easy to tune in and ton.

But vocal music is different, once there is a problem with the control of the body, such as lack of breath, damage to the vocal cords, poor mental state and other physical conditions, it will be the same as playing the piano and violin without tuning, no matter how high your skill is, Goethe will not be able to play the most perfect music in his lifetime.

From the videos of these two songs, these veteran classical music masters, see a lot of things.

For example, Qin Fangge's perfect control of the body, just resonating with the whole body, few people in the whole world can do it, let alone sing such a thrilling song like him.

The second is Qin Fangge's perfect vocal cords, everyone used to say that Rossini's vocal cords were "blessed by God". But after seeing Qin Fang's vocal cords and listening to him easily complete the nine high-pitched C's in one minute that most tenors can't accomplish, how to praise is difficult, and the conductor of the Milan Symphony Orchestra, Carlo, said, "Qin Qin is simply God in the world!"

This is the supreme word of praise, especially when it comes out of the mouths of these foreigners who believe in God.

And Qin Fangge's solid basic skills, an almost perfect set of breath control, and his perfect control of Italian also deeply shocked these foreigners.

They watched and listened to the video over and over again, whether they wanted to find fault with it or really to enjoy the beauty of the song. They all felt that it was not enjoyable, and followed Zhou Xiuying all the way to China.

Of course, their purpose is not all pure and artistic.

If Qin Fangge was on the scene, it was really as magical as in the video, and even went further. Or, as long as he doesn't miss too much in the video, he is a real star of tomorrow, the pillar of the future vocal opera world.

They must want to discover such a rising star, a true peerless genius, to develop in Italy.

Although due to economic reasons, vocal opera in Italy has begun to wither, and many opera houses are almost out of operation.

But once Qin Fangge joins, all this will not be a problem. Whether they raise money on their own or wait for government bailouts, it is feasible for local tyrants to sponsor them.

There was even a music director of the opera house who sighed, "We have been hoping for a genius to save the declining opera." Now, this genius, this savior, has finally made us wait!"

Indeed, Qin Fangge has the potential to act as a savior.

His professional prowess is nothing to say, he can conquer these veteran musicians, and he can also get the general audience to give him a standing ovation for six minutes, which is nothing short of a miracle!

Another point is that Qin Fangge is really handsome. In the current era of eyeball economy, men are handsome and women are beautiful, both have natural advantages.

The connotation needs to be experienced, but the appearance can catch people's attention at once.

Even, making him the brightest star in the classical music industry is a very feasible thing.

Moreover, when the world economy is in a recession, China has become a huge untapped area, where the market potential is huge, where there are many rich people, and here, there are many talents.

If the Chinese market can be developed, the impact on the entire vocal opera industry will also be considerable. In fact, not only opera, but also piano, violin, symphony orchestras, etc., all regard the Chinese market as a fragrant bait, and there are really a lot of people who come to tour to attract money.

And the high-end atmosphere and high-grade opera, when it is really facing life and death, will also make appropriate choices and adaptations.

In the hearts of these classical masters, the abacus is quite good, as if as long as Qin Fangge is born, he can solve the century problem in the vocal opera industry.

I didn't consider Qin Fangge's opinion at all, perhaps, in their opinion, such a good opportunity, even a genius like Qin Fangge, would not refuse!

Qin Fangge could still laugh, "Following Mr. Zhou is to have face!"
