Chapter 1060: A Treat



Today everyone rehearses in civilian clothes, there is no symphony orchestra and choir, their task is very heavy, on the 6th there will be an official performance of the opera La Traviata, or five days in a row, it is a major test not only for the opera singers, but also for the choir and symphony orchestra.

The Bolshoi Theatre's Spring Opera Festival has opened, and press conferences have been held on April 1st. At that meeting, Zhou Xiuying, Shen Jianping, and a number of big-name opera singers were present, and the Grand Theater originally wanted to invite Qin to sing, but they all knew his current fan appeal, but unfortunately they couldn't contact others at all, so they had to give up.

Zhou Xiuying is very experienced as a director, and she doesn't make big scenes at this time, but only focuses on rehearsals. Qin Fangge's performance has always been very stable, but everyone told him not to be so restrained and let go, "Show your unique charm as a playboy!"

Qin Fangge could only smile back with an embarrassed smile, they were really right, and it was not an exaggeration to call him a playboy.

Jokes aside, this group of artists who have been famous for a long time have a very correct attitude professionally, and Zhou Xiuying does not show any mercy when criticizing people. Even if it's just for your own good, you have to rehearse hard.

During the intermission, Shen Jianping, Qi Hong, Zhai Liyin, these female opera singers also took photos and posted them on Weibo, they are all women, not only women love beauty, but they are all ages. also joked that with Qin Fangge's joining, it felt like they were all twenty years younger.

They didn't say anything about it on Weibo themselves, and asked Qin Fangge to post it too, Zhai Liyin also told Qin Fangge, "It's not okay to keep being cold, although it's not exactly the era of the fan economy, but it's always right to deal well and create a good image." You've been gone for a long time, and you've been shocked by Weibo, lest everyone think you're missing!"

Other brothers and sisters also have the same opinion, and they are all willing to take pictures with him.

Qin Fangge is also as good as a stream, in Zhou Xiuying's words, "Help promote the opera more so that more people know, the merit is immeasurable!"

Shen Jianping and the others all nodded, and said that in the past, they worked hard to rehearse operas under the stage, and when they came to the stage, the most worrying thing was not whether they could play to their usual level, but that there was no audience to enjoy. That feeling is really uncomfortable, but now it's good, with Qin Fangge's participation in the opera, there is no worry about the audience at all. Even if he didn't participate in the opera, the attendance rate is slowly increasing, which takes a process, and if there is such a momentum, there will be more and more people who know the art of opera and are willing to spend money to go to the theater to listen to the opera.

As soon as the photos of Qin Fangge's opera rehearsal scene were released, countless fans were grateful, and the message below Weibo instantly exceeded 1,000, "My song is finally willing to send photos!"

"My brother is still so handsome!"

"This opera is a big name even in the supporting roles, and you must go to the opera house to enjoy it. Anyway, give me a letter, when will the performance be, when will you be able to buy tickets!"

"I'm so worried that I won't be able to get tickets, but other opera performances are not so nervous, and the La Traviata, which is about to be staged, still has tickets when I just went to see it. ”

"Little brother, is this the true character of the playboy Don Juan?"

"Even if it's the casual clothes with this look and temperament, the elegant style completely kills this cute girl!"

"It's a pity that my brother's opponents are all old......"

"Doesn't that say more about his charm!"

The message quickly went in a strange direction, and the excitement and excitement of the fans seemed to come easily, and the idols' words and photos were enough to make the fans excited for many days.

But Qin Fangge didn't know the exact day of the performance, and he didn't care much, anyway, he would just go to the stage to perform when the time came. Zhou Xiuying is in control of the overall situation, he is happy to be lazy, Shen Jianping and the others have participated in other opera performances, and he has no intention of appreciating them. But they are not reluctant, and they invite anything as a joke.

At the end of the morning rehearsal, Qin Fangge and Zhou Xiuying ate together in the canteen of the Grand Theater, where there were many staff and the food was not bad. His appetite is pretty good, and the rest of the people are average. During the meal, Shen Jianping and the others also talked about whether Zhou Xiuying wanted to go to Italy this time.

Zhou Xiuying felt that it was necessary to go in person, and she mainly did the contact with the Italian Opera House. Of course, this is still based on the Grand Theater, and the opera singers can say that it is not for her and Qin Fangge to have the final say in the huge establishment of the choir symphony orchestra going abroad, and they don't need to bear these expenses, otherwise, even if they sell Qin Fangge, it will not be enough.

Opera burns the most money, no matter at home or abroad, it is basically a loss. Because there are so many things involved, the symphony orchestra, choir, opera singers, and set lighting design all need to be completed in advance in the opera house where the performance is performed.

At present, the operation of a symphony orchestra is basically at a loss, and it is simply not enough to make ends meet with tickets alone, and it needs government subsidies and corporate sponsorship.

For opera performances, the symphony orchestra is only one part of it, and the cost of inviting big-name opera singers is no less than that of a symphony orchestra. If you want to hire someone to compose a libretto for an opera, the cost has to go up.

That's why some people joked, "The most defeated way is to sponsor an opera house alone!"

Sponsoring a symphony orchestra can basically be done with 100 million a year. But the operation of the opera house is basically in the unit of one billion, and the premise is that the opera house must first be established and have a fixed venue staff audience.

Qin Fangge didn't think about these whimsical things at all, he is also a big-name opera singer now, but the income from performing an opera is very low, and there is not much income from rehearsals or something. Opera singers and members of the choir symphony orchestra are required to receive salaries, and they cannot perform by drinking the northwest wind.

Fortunately, whether it is Qin Fangge or Shen Jianping, they don't think about making any money by performing operas, and it is acceptable to make some sacrifices for art.

In the afternoon, the rehearsal continued, after a hard day, but it didn't continue in the evening, Xiao Shanhe, vice president of the opera house, invited Zhou Xiuying, Qin Fang, and Shen Jianping to have dinner to discuss the premiere in China and going to Italy. The other Zhai Liyin and Qi Hong would rather arrange their time freely, and Qin Fangge had no choice but to eat together if he wanted to.

At the Grand Theater, Qian Feifei, the director of the performance department, and Zhou Xiaoming, the director of the marketing department, all ate together, and everyone seemed to be used to talking about things at the dinner table. If they want to hold a meeting at the Grand Theater in the evening, Zhou Xiuying and Qin will probably not do it when they play songs.

The National Centre for the Performing Arts also attaches great importance to this going out and carrying out cultural exchange activities with Italy, the kingdom of opera, and the opera Don Juan can be regarded as a program produced by the Grand Theatre, or it can be regarded as a meritorious achievement. Qin Fangge has authorization and participation, but in a form of performance like opera, personal power is still too thin.

Moreover, Qin Fangge himself is not in politics, there is no need to take credit for fame, he and the National Center for the Performing Arts can cooperate for mutual benefit and mutual benefit.

The place to eat is in a more stylish restaurant, the Grand Theater is not far from the past, Qin Fangge still drove Zhou Xiuying, and Shen Jianping drove Zhou Xiuying in the morning, so he would drive over by himself.

When Zhou Xiuying called yesterday, she didn't care about his amorous affairs, and when she was alone together, she didn't want to worry about his things, so she just chatted with him peacefully, and asked him, "When Don Juan performs, your mother will come over!"

Qin Fangge nodded yes, "My mother is also more concerned about the performance of the opera, and before that, I will go back to Jiangcheng to participate in the celebration of the Ninth Middle School." During the Chinese New Year, the principal and the principal came to my house in person, but they couldn't refuse. ”

Zhou Xiuying smiled, "It's good to go back and see your parents, and you don't need to worry about the school celebration or anything." You grew up in the Ninth Middle School?"

Qin Fangge said yes, Zhou Xiuying said, "Then you should go back, I have also been to Jiangcheng several times, a good place for outstanding people, people are extremely enthusiastic, and there are many delicious things." ”

Qin Fangge also took the opportunity to invite her to Jiangcheng again, but Zhou Xiuying said, "When you are old, you don't want to run around if you don't have to, it's not as good as your young people's energy." ”

"What's the matter, it's our juniors who make Mr. Zhou too ......" Qin Fangge said sincerely, although she is idle, but after all, she is old.

Zhou Xiuying felt that this was what she should do, "People can't always be idle, and if they can make more contributions to the opera career, they will be satisfied." ”

Not to mention the of Qin Fang's song to attract bees and butterflies, this old and young man can still talk about it. Zhou Xiuying is not a pedantic character, in the process of promoting opera over the years, she has gone through many detours and experienced many setbacks, and the appearance of Qin Fangge has become more and more precious. The question of the subsection was ignored by her, young man, I hope she can't say anything, and it is also a trouble to provoke Qin Fangge to rebel.

After sitting down in the private room of the restaurant, Xiao Shanhe also asked Qin Fangge and Zhou Xiuying to order, he smiled and said that he wanted to have enough portions, Xiao Shanhe smiled, "Absolutely full! This is not a problem in China, if you go abroad, you have to adapt to it! Has Qin Fangge gone abroad?"

Qin Fangge replied, "I've only been in a foreign country!"

"It is said that there is Yan Ruyu in the book!" Qian Feifei is shrewd and capable in her thirties, very temperamental with glasses, and looks good when she smiles, "Now that information is so developed, music, videos, books, etc. are all helpful to spread the wings of art, which is why so many of his excellent works have come out." ”

Qin Fangge was humble for a while, but he was not polite when he ordered, after ordering the dishes. Xiao Shanhe also asked Zhou Xiuying and them, "Don Juan's rehearsal is quite smooth, Mr. Zhou, you see, when is the best time to arrange the performance? ”

Zhou Xiuying replied, "It's all going well, but it's always right to spend more time rehearsing and keep improving." It also depends on the venue and schedule of the Grand Theater, and at the end of May, it will be absolutely fine. ”

Shen Jianping also said that it was the most suitable time, Qin Fangge just nodded, "I have the same opinion as Mr. Zhou and Mr. Shen." ”

Qian Feifei and Zhou Xiaoming smiled and talked about the arrangements for May, Xiao Shanhe said that there was no problem, but also asked them, "Mr. Zhou, how many performances are you better to watch?"

Zhou Xiuying said, "Even after a few performances, opera singers will be more tired! I, the director, is relaxed, Ah Ping, Qin Fangge, your main actors have the final say!"

Shen Jianping smiled, "I'm not worried about Qin Fangge's physical strength at all, I'm afraid that we old guys won't be able to hold on." Otherwise, you can see if it will work, the first three performances are too few, so let's set four first. It depends on the situation at that time, and if everyone is in good shape, there will be another show at the end. ”

Zhou Xiuying and Qin Fangge both nodded in agreement, no matter how awesome Qin Fangge is, he can't act in a one-man show, right?

As for the staff of Xiaoshanhe Qian Feifei and their Grand Theater, of course, they wish that the more performances they have, the better, but they also do have to take into account the state of the opera singers.

Speaking of which, Shen Jianping is also quite dedicated, and there are already a lot of guaranteed four games.

Xiao Shanhe immediately smiled and nodded, "I would like to thank Mr. Zhou, Mr. Shen, and Mr. Qin for all of you for the audience who like opera!"

"Now the domestic opera fans are blessed!" Qian Feifei also smiled happily.

After thanking them for their efforts, Zhou Xiaoming also asked, "Is the premiere scheduled on the 27th or the 28th?"

The day before and after is actually not very related, Shen Jianping thought about it and said, "It's set on the 27th! ”

Xiao Shanhe hurriedly packed the ticket and said that there was no problem, "I guarantee that Don Juan will have a perfect debut and give the audience the most fantastic experience." ”

After determining the domestic performance first, Zhou Xiuying put forward opinions to them on some issues that need attention, and now they can only prepare first, and there is no way to really arrange the stage. There is no way, there are still a few operas to be performed in front, and if they are arranged and dismantled, the cost will be great, and the Grand Theater cannot afford to be extravagant.

When the food comes up, I will eat while talking about going abroad for exchanges and cooperation. Zhou Xiuying's influence in the European and American opera circles no longer has Qin Fangge, a demonic student, and her influence has increased greatly. The NCPA also has a lot of foreign exchanges and cooperation, but basically it is the introduction of foreign opera singers, symphony orchestras, etc., and the operas performed abroad are also operas with domestic themes. This is the first time that an opera is based on the theme of Don Juan, the famous prodigal prodigal man in the West.

Not only Xiao Shanhe attaches great importance to it, but Qian Feifei also said that the Ministry of Culture is very concerned about this cultural exchange activity for performing abroad, and has also given considerable support. In addition to Italy, it would be perfect if it could be on the Czech Republic and even more countries.

The design of the opera set is more cumbersome and time-consuming, compared to the concert, there are not so many restrictions and there is a lot more freedom. Of course, it also depends on the opponent's schedule of the game.

These will have to be discussed in detail after they have passed, and in foreign countries, Qin Fangge's influence is not as great as in China. In China, his performances are basically not worried about not being able to sell tickets, but it's hard to say abroad, after all, he hasn't done it. To be continued.
