Chapter 1182: The Gift
It didn't take much effort to arrive at the airport almost an hour in advance, check in the luggage first, and then go through the security check and wait for the flight. Xue Min and He Ruyun still have the leisure to go to the shops in the waiting hall, but they only look at it and don't buy it, and they don't know what the real situation is.
Qin Fangge and Zhou Xiuying didn't mean to go to the store, it was good to sit and play with their mobile phones, it would still be more than three o'clock in the morning in China, and they didn't need to call or chat or anything. Xue Min and the two didn't go shopping for a while before coming over to meet everyone, and then boarded the plane together. The business class they bought added up to 10,000 yuan per person, which is relatively cost-effective. However, it is necessary to transfer to Helsinki, the capital of Finland, which is more than two hours and a few minutes away, a medium-sized passenger plane, and the layout of business class with entertainment measures are not bad.
The only fly in the ointment of Xue Min's laughter is that although the flight attendants are all golden-skinned, they are middle-aged, and their English is not particularly fluent, but they are friendly and enthusiastic, and the service is considerate.
Qin Fangge has nothing to be picky about, he doesn't need to wear sunglasses when waiting for the plane and getting on the plane, he is very relaxed. Except for the well-informed media reporters, ordinary people are completely indifferent to him. Of course, Qian Feifei and the others also laughed and complained that if they waited until Yanjing, it would be impossible for him to be so free. He Ruyun also said that his fame abroad still has considerable potential for improvement.
Everyone laughed, and his fame this night was actually quite fast, but this classical music, especially an art form like opera, is indeed a little far from the public. Even if the media reports his level hIghc, the king of tenors and the like, and posts his handsome photos, it is still not so easy for foreign audiences to distinguish him in reality from him in media reports. Qin Fangge in reality looks younger, and I believe that the first reaction of most people is not to believe it.
But this is actually a good thing for Qin Fangge, not a heavy burden after becoming famous, and he also said that he should take advantage of it now to enjoy it easily.
The plane took off on time at nine o'clock in the evening, and Qin Fangge sat next to Zhou Xiuying to accompany her, who was in very good spirits, and chatted until she got off the plane in Helsinki. The two also have a lot of topics, and the opera "Don Giovanni" alone involves all aspects enough to write several books. Zhou Xiuying also hopes to make this opera perfect, and also discussed with him the rehearsal plan after returning to China. He also has to set aside time for other things, such as going back to Jiangcheng to visit his parents for the school celebration, preparing for concerts, composing piano and violin concertos for concerts, going to school, and living a normal life.
What makes Zhou Xiuying happy is that there is no need to worry about the problem of ticket sales and low attendance like other opera houses. Before they came to Europe, the National Centre for the Performing Arts had sold out for several performances, so much so that they were considering another one. In addition to the opera performance, Qin Fangge's symphony concert has not yet been completely decided, and whether it will be performed or several times will have to be discussed, but Zhou Xiuying dares to assert that the Grand Theater must be eager to perform a few more performances, and the audience is even more so. We all know that tickets for his concerts are hard to come by, and if there are fewer performances, it will be even harder to grab tickets.
Due to the long preparation time for opera performances, if there are not a few more performances, the losses will be even more serious. Although opera has never made money, it is perfectly acceptable for opera producers and performers to lose less.
In addition, even for such a large-scale symphonic music concert, the cost of inviting a huge symphony orchestra is not small, and the organizer can make a small profit. After all, unlike opera, which requires huge upfront investment, script, composition, props, stage design, rehearsal, etc., all of which are indispensable.
Get off the plane in Helsinki, make a stopover for two hours, and then change to a larger plane and fly directly to Yanjing. They didn't have the idea of going out of the airport, the time was short and it was a big night, fortunately, they didn't have to handle the transit consignment, otherwise they wouldn't have time to toss.
However, this time there was a lot more time than at the previous Wenceslas Airport in Prague, and Xi Wanqing pulled Qin Fangge, Xue Min and He Ruyun, and even Qian Feifei to join them shopping. Zhou Xiuying laughed and didn't toss with their young people, He Xiong, like other men, was the most annoying thing to go shopping with women, he would rather stay and sit and chat with Zhou Xiuying or play with his mobile phone It was much easier.
This time, they didn't just go shopping, and when they saw that there were suitable items with local Finnish characteristics, they all paid out of their own pockets or recommended them to Qin Fangge to buy, he didn't use them himself, and it was good to buy them back as gifts for others. Xue Min also laughed at him for being more prepared, "There are so many confidantes around you, as well as family, teachers, and friends, you can't favor one over the other......"
Xi Wanqing and the others all laughed, shopping seems to be a woman's talent, Xi Wanqing also half-truthfully complained that it was rare to go shopping with him, as if she was sorry for her if she didn't buy something. Of course, their vision is also quite good, and the things they recommend to Qin Fangge are also quite good. The airport duty-free shop also offers a wide range of Scandinavian products, such as reindeer and wood products, as well as handmade wooden dolls with Christmas and Sámi characteristics. He Ruyun also smiled, "Santa Claus seems to be a Finnish specialty?"
This question has been debated for a long time, but there are many legends and customs related to Santa Claus in Finland, and all kinds of handicrafts with Christmas characteristics can be found everywhere.
In addition, even He Ruyun and the others are not afraid of being fat and bought local chocolate, which is said to be made with fresh milk, which is very delicious. I also gave Qin Fangge a taste, the taste is indeed quite good, there is nothing to say, buy buy, buy!
There are also delicate and beautiful mugs, glassware, and Xi Wanqing also gave Qin Fangge a sports watch.
Of course, women's favorite handbags are indispensable, looking at the price is not expensive, according to Xue Min, they are still international top brands, Qin Fangge doesn't know how to do it, just swipe the card to buy it and give it to them, even Qian Feifei and Zhou Xiuying have a share. Qian Feifei was about to refuse, but was soon persuaded by Xi Wanqing and the others, saying that she worked so hard to go abroad and was all for Qin Fangge, and it was right for him to shed some blood. As for Mr. Zhou Xiuying, who broke his heart for him, then Qin Fangge should buy a gift to show it.
There are more affordable and special things, that is, postcards and stamps, some related to the surroundings, and some Aurora, all of which are beautiful, and they are completely qualified to take them back and give them away.
Wandered around until the time of the prompt to board the plane, and the group stopped.
