Chapter 1061: Negotiation
readx(); To put it bluntly, Qin Fangge's current fame abroad is less than one-tenth of that in China. Although his concert invited many classical music colleagues, it also deeply shocked this group of old rivers and lakes, and the records released can also be purchased abroad, and many people have heard of several musical works he created.
But as far as ordinary classical music audiences are concerned, Qin Fangge is still an unfamiliar name to them. His box office appeal is no higher than that of pianists such as Zhou Jia, Su Yunfei, and Fu Tianxia.
Whether it is Qin Fangge, Zhou Xiuying, Deng Hongmei, Xi Wanqing, they all know this. No way, he is not famous enough to live in seclusion and still make headlines. The situation at home is slightly better, and abroad, many foreigners actually still look at Chinese with inherent eyes.
On the other hand, it is also related to the efforts of Zhou Jia and Fu Tianxia, which is the result of their hard work for more than ten years of performing in various places. Their musical talent and performance level are not bad, and they are willing to work hard, dozens of hundreds of concerts every year, if they can't accumulate some fans and increase their popularity, won't these efforts be in vain?
No matter how talented Qin Fangge is, in order to gain the recognition of the audience, live performances of concerts and operas are the most direct and effective ways.
Zhou Jia Fu Tianxia and their concerts are continuous, but look at Qin Fangge, even in such a superior environment in China, there have not been a few concerts, and the same is true for opera, if it weren't for the great god Zhou Xiuying behind him, he probably wouldn't be too lazy to show up.
Now if you want to go abroad to perform operas and hold concerts, this issue must be taken seriously, and Zhou Xiuying does not dare to take it lightly. Although they all know that Qin Fangge's strength is outstanding, foreign audiences don't necessarily know it, and if they want to know, at least they have to let them go to the opera house concert hall first.
Therefore, the publicity work in the early stage must be done well, as long as they buy tickets to enter the venue, everything else is easy to say.
During the discussion, Xiao Shanhe and Qian Feifei also agreed that this must be taken seriously, and when negotiating with the Italian and Czech symphony orchestras and opera houses, the preliminary publicity must be written into the contract.
Qin Fangge himself is quite calm, how can he not know that the situation at home and abroad is not the same, and he has also come step by step in China. Of course, the time in this is still not long, and it is not like Fu Tianxia and them, who have worked hard for more than ten years to conquer the audience.
After the discussion, Zhou Xiuying and the others also thought that if Qin Fangge's concert was held at a time before the opera performance, the effect would be much better.
"There is no room for error in the performance of this opera, and there is nothing wrong with a slight delay...... "Ms. Zhou said, who is confident in Qin Fangge, but that doesn't mean she will take a bigger risk.
Qian Feifei nodded and said, "The Prague Philharmonic Orchestra has a lot of exchange activities with our country, and it will also perform at our Grand Theater in the second half of the year, and it is easier to communicate." They are optimistic about Qin Fangge's symphony, and the level is also high, if they hold one or several concerts first, it is the best choice to expand their influence and reputation. ”
Shen Jianping also said, "We don't want to fight unprepared battles, since we want to go abroad, we must take all factors into account! We opera singers have no problem here, and we will fully cooperate with the arrangements for opera performances." ”
Zhou Xiuying couldn't help but ask about Qin Fangge's concert arrangement, the symphony is definitely there, and the others, the First Piano Concerto and "Aria with Many Variations" (Gothenburg Variations) have some influence abroad, and it is not a big problem to play them. dudu1();
Qin Fangge also said his thoughts, "It depends on the situation, if I have time, I am going to perform two brand new pieces, a piano concerto and a violin concerto." ”
Ambition is not small!
Xiao Shanhe Qian Feifei commented in their hearts, but this is exactly what they are happy to see. Qin Fangge is at the age of being young, energetic, and full of creative imagination. Not to mention 10,000 years back, even if these two concertos are not of a good level, it is enough to have that symphony!
When it comes to this symphony, anyone who has seen it is full of praise. The China Philharmonic Orchestra is also trying its best to win the premiere of this symphony, and they all know these Xiaoshanhe. When the time comes, the concert hall of the National Centre for the Performing Arts is their best choice, after all, the Grand Theatre has the most scientifically designed professional concert hall in China to accommodate the largest number of audiences, as well as a fixed audience.
The leaders of the big theaters in Xiaoshanhe praised themselves and said, "We all believe that your works can maintain a consistently high standard!"
"When the time comes, you must shake those foreigners!" Qian Feifei said excitedly.
"Do you play the violin yourself?" Shen Jianping asked him while expressing her support, but she knew that Qin Fangge was quite close to Long Xueyao, who was learning violin, and had written a lot of violin etudes for her.
Qin Fangge nodded, "If I practice again, I should be able to do it, and I won't be embarrassed on the stage!"
Zhou Xiuying also said happily, "I also like violin, and most famous composers have violin concertos. Now the opera, the symphony, the piano concerto, the violin concerto are all there, and this summer, the whole world will go crazy for the musical genius of our country!"
Shen Jianping and Xiao Shanhe all nodded in agreement, it is rare for Mr. Zhou to have such an excited and happy time.
When composition students graduate, it is not uncommon for them to write symphonic piano and violin concertos, but opera is not something that composition students can compose now. The key is also to look at the quality of the work, to put it mildly, even those professors in the composition department who have been famous for a long time abound who have not created any widely circulated musical works in their lifetimes.
Qian Feifei and the others quickly asked Qin Fangge if this new concerto would be performed in China.
Qin Fangge replied, "I can't say for sure, it depends on when it will be completed, and the orchestra is also a problem with practice!"
"Don't worry, just create with your heart!" Zhou Xiuying is not worried about this at all, he has so many music works, it is not a problem to move some to the concert casually. dudu2();
Xiao Shanhe, of course, they hope to see Qin Fangge's new work completed as soon as possible, and if it can be premiered at the Grand Theater, it will be the most perfect thing. Although Qin Fangge's appeal abroad is unknown, in China, it is indeed NO1, leaving Zhou Jia, Su Yunfei, Fu Tianxia, and their boss. Tickets are always in short supply, and the prices are the highest kind.
The matter of working with the Philharmonic Orchestra has not yet been completely decided, but as long as Qin Fangge is willing to nod, it is not a big problem, and Xiao Shanhe and they also said that they can help. There is also a lot of cooperation between the Philharmonic Orchestra and the Grand Theatre, and major performances are basically held at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, and the arrangement of the concert hall is much easier than that of the opera hall.
Finally, Qian Feifei also said to Qin Fangge, "We think it's best to notify everyone first, lest someone who wants to come to the opera don't notice our announcement and miss the time to grab tickets." The first few times, but the staff on the network technology department were tired enough, and the website was almost paralyzed. Agree on the time for the release of tickets in advance, so that they can prepare for their work, what do you think of Qin Fangge?"
Qin Fangge nodded and said no problem, and also asked when they planned to start pre-selling tickets.
Qian Feifei said, "If it has been decided to premiere on the 27th of next month, then these days! Today, April 3rd, I think the sixth is good...... Dean Xiao, what do you think?"
Xiao Shanhe nodded, "Let's set it at twelve o'clock at noon on the 6th, that day is also a good day for the official launch of our Grand Theater Spring Opera Festival!"
Qin Fangge and Zhou Xiuying have no opinions, now in the era of eyeball economy, there is no need to pretend to be cold, hot spots or something, they can be on it, and strong alliances are common. Even an institution like the National Centre for the Performing Arts, which has the right time and place, cannot save effort in publicity, and must cultivate more audiences who love classical music.
Then, it is necessary to involve the issue of ticketing for the premiere.
For the first performance of "Don Juan", the Grand Theater must reserve a lot of tickets, and give them to relevant leaders, industry peers, and relatives and friends of Qin Fangge, the main opera singers, and they must not be allowed to grab tickets! With the popularity of Qin Fangge's performance, it is no less difficult to grab tickets than the train tickets for the Spring Festival.
Qin Fangge is not polite, just take what should be taken, Ning Xiupei and Song Zixuan sisters will definitely come to Yanjing to cheer him on. There are also Chen Yushan, Xi Wanqing, Lin Baoqing, and them, twenty is estimated to be not enough.
Zhou Xiuying and Shen Jianping are not bad on their side, starring in this opera is no longer just a performance, all aspects of the situation must be taken into account.
In addition, Zhou Xiuying will also invite her counterparts from Italy and the Czech Opera House to come and observe first, even if she doesn't take the initiative to invite, people will inspect it first.
It's not easy to do opera performances now, although the market is not fully considered, but if the quality of the performance is not enough, it is still difficult to be recognized by the audience.
As the organizer, Xiao Shanhe Qian Feifei of the National Centre for the Performing Arts is also accustomed to such a situation. Although the operation of the National Centre for the Performing Arts is now independent and said to be self-financing, the government's subsidies are still the majority, and the ticket revenue only accounts for a small part. dudu3();
After all kinds of calculations, the first performance of this opera, the Grand Theater can sell about 500 tickets to ordinary audiences.
For this, Xiao Shanhe and they are quite satisfied, and it is also an opera with Qin Fangge's participation. For example, the opera performed by their Grand Theater, which is about to be staged on April 6, does not need to be so grand and complicated. There are also a lot of reserved tickets, but according to past experience, it is basically not full. Moreover, it has been several months since the tickets were released, and not all the tickets have been sold. The participants in the performance are all domestic big-name opera singers, all of whom came back from foreign gilding. However, except for the veteran opera audience who are more familiar with them, it is difficult to attract ordinary audiences to buy tickets to enter, although the price is not high, and the highest ticket price is less than half of the ticket price of Qin Fangge's performance.
Among these audiences, there are basically no young people such as teenage girls and boys who go to cheer for Qin Fangge, and these young people account for more than half.
Zhou Xiuying and Shen Jianping don't think there's anything bad, which not only shows that Qin Fangge has appeal, but also reflects everyone's enthusiasm for opera from one aspect. Opera is not a lofty art form that is completely incomprehensible. Moreover, people grow and mature. When this group of young people grows up, why worry that opera will not flourish.
The leaders of the big theater like Xiao Shanhe are more willing to see the good phenomenon of the audience getting younger, and such a scene of grabbing tickets only happened to those particularly famous performers in the past, but it is not as exaggerated as Qin Fangge. For a time, the performance of the Grand Theater was even qualified to compare with other people's concerts.
If you think about it, it's actually a bit ironic, which makes people laugh and cry.
All of this is only due to Qin Fangge alone.
His success is not accidental, appearance, talent and opportunities are indispensable. There are also nobles like Zhou Xiuying, Xi Wanqing, and Zhang Zhiwen to help each other, but how can this not achieve each other!
Xiao Shanhe's meal is really worth it, and it's not impossible to pull Qin Fangge to the conference room to get these things done, but it is estimated that this guy is not in such a good mood and good at talking now. He has a good temper, but he is a genius after all, and he is quite proud in his bones.
Qian Feifei and they have also received a lot of musical geniuses, even if they are well served, they are easy to be picked on by geniuses with quirks, and if they are really fried, they still have to coax them to provide for them.
Qin Fangge, they have been in contact with this person for a while, eat soft or hard, coax well, just hello, I am good. Don't bother him with little things, it's all right. For example, posting Weibo to inform fans is something that only Qin Fangge can do by himself, even if he knows that his Weibo also has management, but directly looking for him is undoubtedly the most direct and effective.
Qin Fangge promised to do it very quickly, and after eating and drinking, he posted a message on Weibo to inform the online ticket advance information of the opera "Don Juan".
For Qin Fangge's fans, today is a miracle day, and their idol Qin Fangge, who has never liked to play Weibo, posted two Weibo posts one after another, both about his opera "Don Juan".
The advertisement is full of color, but fans are buying it and are excited. Because Qin Fangge finally announced the date of the premiere of "Don Juan", and more importantly, the opening time of the Grand Theater, this is the key to whether you can grab tickets. With the bitter experience of grabbing tickets last year, no one dares to take it lightly now, prepare in advance, and prepare for April 6th.!!
