Chapter 1089: Local Tyrant

Qin Fangge is also quite touched, "It seems that we are still lucky to be born in China......"

In Zhou Xiuying's words, she was born to eat this bowl of rice, and she has been stumbling to the end with vocal opera in this life, and when she is old, she will not change her original intention.

Qian Feifei also said, "Although the operation of the Grand Theater is not easy, compared with these foreign opera houses, the situation is much better." It's just that in such an environment, it is inevitable that there will be some sad feelings of rabbits and foxes. ”

Xi Wanqing let everyone see the long-term, "Our country's economy is doing well, the population is large, and there is such a market, and we don't have to worry about making a greater name in the classical music industry." We have Mr. Zhou and a large number of excellent students, as well as musical geniuses like Qin Fangge. It feels like we are destined to rise in classical music, and in time, maybe lead the renaissance of classical music. ”

Zhou Xiuying, Qian Feifei, and they all nodded, and after some feelings, everyone still returned to the theme, how to win more benefits for the Chinese opera industry, the National Center for the Performing Arts and Qin Fangge in such an environment.

The cost of an opera to be performed in Europe is enormous, and the housing of the opera singers, symphony orchestra and choir alone is quite a huge expense. There are also stage props and costumes, which need to be shipped to Europe, and if they are remade, the cost will be greater.

But now the National Centre for the Performing Arts has tasted the sweetness of Qin Fangge, and is confident to engage in such a tour. The box office income of Qin Fangge's participation in the performance alone can basically be on par with the cost of rehearsals and performances. Of course, if you want to perform at home or abroad, you can't expect the ticket revenue to return to your capital, which is unrealistic.

The main thing is to go abroad to show the strength of the Chinese opera industry, which is not only Zhou Xiuying's wish, but also the common idea of the National Centre for the Performing Arts and the domestic opera industry.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is pretending to be a local tyrant, who said that there is such capital now.

Qian Feifei and her sisters have a lot of experience working with foreign opera houses, but they are basically co-produced together, that is, each side has some personnel, including opera singers, conductors, stage costumes, lighting design, etc., which is basically the Chinese opera industry learning from foreign counterparts.

In the context of the economic and general environment of the opera industry, these foreign opera colleagues are quite willing to accept such cooperation.

This "Don Juan" is different, the whole class uses Chinese opera practitioners, from the director to the conductor, the opera singers to the symphony orchestra choir, as well as the design of the stage, lighting and costumes behind the scenes. It can be said that except for the form of opera, which is a Western classical opera, the others are all domestic.

Previously, there were many operas that were all independently produced by Chinese people, but without exception, they were all operas, and they were not bad in China, after all, they were down-to-earth and the audience could understand them. If you go abroad, it will be the same as the difficulties caused to the audience by performing foreign operas in China, because of the language barrier and the difficulty of understanding.

The National Centre for the Performing Arts and other opera groups have also organized tours to Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, but the results have not been as good as expected. Of course, Zhou Xiuying and the others know the inside story very well, and there must be the behavior of putting gold on their faces. Tickets are not all sold out as in the report, and it takes a process for foreign audiences to accept them.

Qin Fangge's first opera "Don Juan" took advantage of the subject matter and language. The playboy who is well-known in the West is also the love saint Don Juan, who performs in Italian, and foreign audiences can basically understand it, and the degree of acceptance will be higher.

Qian Feifei even said the slogan they planned to use for the Grand Theater, "China's first original Western opera "Don Juan" ......"

Qin Fangge felt embarrassed after listening to it, but several other people felt that there was nothing wrong, and it was estimated that they would publicize it like this when the time came. This can also fully show that he is a genius who has a deeper understanding of Western music! Especially compared with the current generation of Western composers, he is so clever that he doesn't know where it is, right?

He just listened to these things, and propaganda or something needed some gimmicks, and he had long been accustomed to this, and he didn't engage in fake Qinggao.

Qian Feifei also said that the cooperation with the Roman Opera House should be relatively smooth this time.

He Xiong agreed, "In the past, when we co-produced operas, it was a trouble! Negotiations alone would never have been possible without ten days and half a month's effort. In fact, it is also a dispute of interests, and even where to make costumes has to be discussed for several days, not to mention which actors to use, how to pay, how to arrange the rehearsal schedule, etc., really one head and two big!"

Zhou Xiuying also knew, "Indeed, the hardest thing is your legal department, all kinds of contracts are drafted, and they often have to be changed, and they don't sleep well every day." ”

"This time it's different, we produce as a class, which is like borrowing their venue to perform. In July and August, when the opera season is over, they should steal music if they can earn more. Qian Feifei has a feeling of spending a lot of money, especially when she is facing Italy, an old opera powerhouse, this feeling is even more refreshing.

He Xiong also said with a smile, "It is also the government that has given a considerable degree of attention, and the Ministry of Culture has also given full support, otherwise, it is really not easy to complete such a foreign exchange performance." Mr. Zhou has made great contributions to the communication between all parties. ”

Qin Fangge and Xi Wanqing both thanked her together, but Zhou Xiuying waved her hand and said, "This is what we should do for those who study vocal opera, and we must also take advantage of this opportunity to make a name for ourselves! Everyone has to work together to do it......"

Qian Feifei also said, "The current situation of ticket sales in the domestic Grand Theater is very telling, and after the performance of "Don Juan," the effect is estimated to be even better! When the time comes for the trip to Europe, the image of our Chinese opera industry will definitely be able to reach a higher level. When the time comes, we will definitely invite these Italian opera colleagues to watch the first performance, and we have reserved all the tickets. But shouldn't they also pay for it and support the development of the opera industry with practical actions? ”

Zhou Xiuying and Qin Fangge both laughed, and Xi Wanqing also said that it would look at the attitude of the Roman Opera House tomorrow, "Everyone is still courteous!"

Qian Feifei said happily, "If they are smart enough, they should invite us to the opera." You must know that the ticket price of our National Center for the Performing Arts is much more expensive than their tickets here, especially the good seats in the front row. ”

Zhou Xiuying nodded, "Not every opera can sell high ticket prices like "Don Juan", and the Roman Opera is still lowering ticket prices to attract audiences. This is actually a test for us to perform when the time comes!"

But both Qian Feifei and He Xiong expressed confidence in ticket sales in Italy. --(Important notice of this site: Please use the free APP of this site, no ads, no errors, fast updates, members synchronize the bookshelf, please pay attention to the WeChat public account xuanhuan11 (press and hold three seconds to copy) to install a mobile reader!
