Zuo Shuqin rejected all the performances that were purely for the merchants, and the grass stage team-like performance venue had poor acoustics, although the price was okay but it was still too expensive! They are not short of money now, and they don't have to over-consume their reputation at all. net

So much so that Wang Zizi and Han Wei, a few girls who had gone out to work before, were laughing, but now their value has doubled, and their vision and style have increased a lot. The environment in which they used to work was worse than inviting such a commercial performance now! But at that time, it was also for life, and there was nothing to do.

But for a special concert, they will definitely not refuse, at least the performance venue and the audience are more professional.

There are still a few days left before the concert they attended, and this time the venue was the best, in the concert hall of the National Center for the Performing Arts, and the leaders of the Conservatory of Music took a lot of effort to help them get it.

You must know that this Yanjing Spring International Music Festival is full of big names from all walks of life, not to mention the famous masters who play piano and violin in Western music, as far as national music is concerned, all kinds of famous folk music masters are at the same level as their professors in the school.

It was also on such an occasion that Teng Shuting decided to take out Liang Zhu to amaze the audience. They don't think much about the special concert for the time being, there is no problem with holding it at the Conservatory of Music, but it is really in places like the Grand Theater and the Yanjing Concert Hall that want to sell tickets, it will still seem to be somewhat lacking.

Compared with Qin Fangge, who performed overseas, the gap is really a bit big, which is also one of the important factors why the girl cares more about the attendance rate of his performances.

This afternoon, when they gathered for rehearsal, Professor Wu Yifen also came to the scene and was warmly welcomed by the girls. She also encouraged the girls to practice hard, and asked them to "take Qin Fangge as an example and perform at the highest level." On the evening of the 15th, there will be a lot of heavyweight audiences, many of whom have exchanges with our school, including famous masters from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, and Europe and the United States. ”

The girls all nodded, and Huang Jing hurriedly expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, Professor Wu, we will play at the highest level in the best state, and it is also a birthday gift for Shu Ting!"

Wang Zizi also smiled and said, "Just wait for the end of the performance to give Shu Ting a celebration banquet." ”

Wu Yifen said with a kind smile, "Our teachers have confidence in you, this opportunity is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, whether your orchestra can go abroad depends on your performance." But don't have too much psychological baggage, you can also learn more from Qin Fangge, he doesn't seem to have stage fright on any occasion, this time abroad, he made a temporary appearance, he still waved perfectly, and even created the miracle of the fastest rehearsal performance. I think it's because of his strong self-confidence, which you can all have. ”

Teng Shuting nodded and said, "Well, Professor Wu can rest assured, we will definitely not embarrass him." ”

Zuo Shuqin and Lin Baoqing also expressed their attitudes, saying that they wanted to shine at this international music festival. Chen Tianhong also smiled and said, "Don't let Qin Fangge be beautiful in front, let everyone take a good look at our women's demeanor!"

Professor Wu Yifen and the girls were happy, and after laughing, they still rehearsed well. Wu Yifen is particularly attentive to their rehearsals and performances, although she is a good person, her artistic requirements are also relatively strict. She concentrated on the study of harmony, and also published a number of related teaching books, and on the harmony of the song "Liang Zhu", she told Teng Shuting more and more deeply.

Wu Yifen also asked them, "When you practice, you should work more on harmony, especially Shu Ting, you have the heaviest task on your shoulders." It can be said that whether this "Liang Zhu" can achieve brilliant results depends on your performance in harmony. In terms of the harmony of national music, it has always been our weakest aspect, and there is not much theoretical stuff. Qin Fangge has introduced a lot of Western music harmony concepts and techniques into the harmony of this piece, and perfectly integrated with the inherent melody of our Eastern culture. However, if the performance is not good, then it is entirely the responsibility of all of us! If we want to truly let national music go to the world, the problem of harmony must be solved, otherwise, there will be a lot less deep and heavy feeling, and it is far from enough to have a melody and some Chinese culture in it. ”

Teng Shuting, Lin Baoqing, and Zuo Shuqin nodded vigorously in approval, but Chen Tianhong and Huang Jing were a little ignorant. But in Teng Shuting's composition department, harmony is a compulsory course, and it occupies a particularly important position, and the study is also very deep.

Chen Tianhong and Huang Jing learned traditional folk music like this, and only after joining the Jinse Huanian Orchestra began to pay attention to this issue, Wang Zizi's Zhongruan, Han Wei's double bass, can provide harmony for folk music well. But something deeper is not the object of their study.

Teng Shuting considered this aspect when she formed this new Chinese orchestra, and despite the tight number, she still brought in Han Wei, a double bass, and her own keyboard, which is also a very good harmonic instrument, and many harmonic tasks are completed by her, the conductor and keyboardist.

She can also better understand what Professor Wu Yifen tirelessly mentioned that if you want to perform "Liang Zhu" perfectly, the most important thing to spend time on is harmony.

In addition to harmony, in terms of song structure, Qin Fangge also did a particularly good job in this "Liang Zhu". He did not copy the violin concerto "Liang Zhu" from the original time and space, and made considerable changes after adapting it into a folk music version. Especially in the structure of the song and the harmony.

The original Liang Zhu Violin Concerto was originally the work of the two composers when they were young, and the composition techniques were not so mature, and it was difficult to revise them when they looked back. The audience is preconceived, especially the domestic audience and the overseas Chinese audience.

Qin Fangge was different, and he also made specific changes according to the actual situation of the Jinse Huanian Orchestra, but in terms of melody and rhythm, he still maintained the original appearance of the classics. It can be said that after his adaptation, this "Liang Zhu" is even more perfect.

He didn't take out the violin concerto version, but if he really waited until that day, he would definitely have improved more in terms of structure and harmony than the original version. Qin Fangge also wanted to see how Teng Shuting's version of the folk music performed by them reacted to the audience.

At this Yenching Spring International Music Festival, it was not easy for the Conservatory of Music to win such a good performance opportunity for them, and it was also the finale. Professors like Wu Yifen are more well-informed, and they also reveal some information to them from time to time. In order to ensure their appearance, Wu Yifen also invited school leaders to come to the scene first and listened to their rehearsals. There is also the name of Qin Fangge's composition, which makes the leaders do their best to fight for it.

The current performance market, even such an international music festival, is equally competitive, or it is not an exaggeration to describe it as miserable. As far as the conservatory of music is concerned, their national orchestras are all special, with special conducting and rehearsal venues.

Not to mention the Central Chinese Orchestra, Yanjing Chinese Orchestra, China Broadcasting Chinese Orchestra and other veteran national orchestras!

Under the eyes of these strong enemies, they won such a precious performance opportunity, which also made Teng Shuting cherish it more and more. Without Wu Yifen's mobilization, they will all practice harder.

Of course, the choice of songs is also an important aspect. In such an important session of a large-scale concert, the hour-long "Jin Se Hua Nian" is definitely not suitable, how much time it takes up and how many people hate. In this half-hour "Liang Zhu", dissatisfied people abound, and the voices of opposition are endless, and some people even report that this music festival has shady scenes and the like.

But these voices, without exception, were suppressed in the end.

If Teng Shuting and the others were alone, they would definitely lack confidence in the face of these veteran folk orchestras and famous masters! But with the teachers of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music and Qin Fangge, the most solid backing, they would be able to straighten their waists. bravely and generously used this half-hour "Liang Zhu" to show their talents.

And, the ticket sales speak for themselves.

The National Centre for the Performing Arts has cooperated with Qin Fangge for a long time, and he did not hesitate to use his name. Except for reserved tickets, all tickets are sold out on the day of sale. The audience is willing to buy it, on the one hand, thanks to the good publicity of this international music festival, there are many famous masters, and the Jinse Huanian Orchestra composed of Lin Baoqing and them also has a certain fan base.

What's more important is that it is hung on the official website of the Grand Theater, which is vigorously promoted, "Qin Fangge's another excellent folk music work "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" will be performed at the National Center for the Performing Arts Concert Hall at half past seven in the evening of the 15th.

In Yanjing, at the National Center for the Performing Arts, Qin Fangge's name is a guarantee of attendance, and this time the tickets are much cheaper than when Qin Fangge thought he was performing in person, and the most expensive was a little more than a thousand. As a result, on the day of the official website, all the tickets released were sold out.

Qin Fangge's work stays in the finale, which can also ensure that the audience who comes to his name will not leave the stage after listening to it. It's not like nothing like this has happened before, and there was one at this international music festival, and the scene was also embarrassing for a while.

Wu Yifen told them, "This also fully illustrates the choice of the audience and the market, composers and performers, must come up with something innovative, at the very least, don't let the audience listen to the beginning of the listen, or simply leave after listening to half of it." ”

After Qin Fangge expressed his wishes, Wu Yifen and Professor Long Fujin, as well as other female supervisors, encouraged them to actively create when they had free time, and they would also provide them with help as much as possible. Not to mention the creation of large-scale folk music works such as "Liang Zhu", works like the previous works like "On the Water Side", they can do it completely. You can't always expect Qin Fangge's works to win the world, right?

This Qin Fangge's trip to Europe, the temporary firefighting, also came out of the great movement, and after the news reached the Conservatory of Music, professors like Wu Yifen were also happy for him. They are not worried about his decision, with Zhou Xiuying by his side, they will not let him suffer no matter what.

Everyone is excited about his performance abroad, which is still exceptional, conquering the discerning audience in Italy and proving that he is a musical genius. They are all knowledgeable, and they are more concerned about the tenor forbidden area aria "Beautiful Scenery" sung by him, which has been sung several times in China. To this day, those foreigners are fortunate enough to hear it, and they still feel a little dark in their hearts.

The focus of the professors and teachers is that Qin Fangge did not participate in the rehearsal of the opera "Macbeth" before, and it only took a few hours to successfully perform Macbeth vividly on the stage.

In this regard, domestic peers and music critics are also full of praise, and there seems to be no outstanding bird jumping out to touch the brilliant achievements of Qin Fang's songs.

Especially in the current recession of the Roman Opera House and the continued sluggish attendance, Qin Fangge's name alone has increased the attendance rate to 100% in a few hours, and even opened more standing tickets for the audience who have not bought tickets, which is even more remarkable.

Of course, Wu Yifen and Long Fujin also have some worries that they haven't said, that is, the current classical music market is very unhealthy, even in Europe and the United States. Qin Fangge's talent is not only limited to his ability to sing tenors, but obviously composition is what he is best at, right?

It's a pity that the current audience is still too easy to be tempted by the most direct things, and the audience who bought tickets to enter the opera house for his world's number one tenor accounts for the vast majority, although this kind of physical and psychological dual experience is something that these old professors can't resist at the scene.

Of course, this is actually a good thing! As long as he is famous, it is easier to say a lot about other aspects, and Qin Fangge's other music works will also attract more attention from everyone. In the end, the audience will remember more than just his tenor name.

More intuitively, Qin Fangge's reputation in China is unique for a while, and this will be shaped into the image of a musician who has won glory for the country. The recognition of his musical works, as well as the performers who perform his works, has also increased. It's not wrong to say that Aiwu and Wu, the concert with Teng Shuting and her orchestra is sold out, which is the best proof, which is also something that professors like Wu Yifen like to see.
