When Chen Yushan saw Han Wei in the morning, she was not surprised at all, anyway, Qin Fangge had so many love debts, so there was no need to worry at all. As a bystander, Chen Yushan naturally doesn't have to worry about it.

Han Wei was not embarrassed, she greeted Chen Yushan generously, and also cared about the progress of her new album, and then lamented that it was hard to engage in art, and everyone else had to work overtime.

Chen Yushan nodded in agreement, she has been busy with the new album recently, even if she doesn't record it, she has to practice all kinds of new and old songs, and she doesn't have anything to do at all.

Needless to say, Qin Fangge is a super busy person.

Han Wei and their orchestra are similar, a new song, it is not easy to practice well, and it is not good without a month or two of hard work. Then, everyone is learning music, and daily basic exercises are essential. However, Han Wei still got up a little later than Chen Yushan and Qin Fangge, she didn't care, she felt that the quality of sleep last night was very good, and when she had breakfast with Qin Fangge and Chen Yushan in the morning, she also had a special appetite.

After breakfast, they went their separate ways, Qin Fangge drove to give Han Wei a ride, but he didn't plan to go to the conservatory. When the two of them were together, Han Wei also talked about Chen Yushan and said with a smile, "I feel that everyone has seen through you and you!"

Qin Fangge was cheeky and replied with a smile, "Isn't this better, so as not to pretend to be so tired!"

"Okay, you win!" Han Wei was quite speechless to him, and soon stopped mentioning this stubble, and chatted about the later arrangements until she got out of the car. She still had to rush back to the dormitory to change her clothes first, but before leaving, she left a mark on him, and gloated and smiled, "It's better for me than to be eaten by your senior sisters haha!"

They all know that Qin Fang's performance of such an opera is definitely not enjoyable, even if he plays a playboy, but those female singers are older than his mother Ning Xiupei, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is self-inflicted. Of course, a better way to say it is to dedicate oneself to art, "If the senior sisters are in a good mood, the performance level will be higher!"

Qin Fangge could only be speechless, when he arrived at the International Center for the Performing Arts, Zhou Xiuying and Shen Jianping also arrived, and now the opera performance has entered a critical stage. Zhou Xiuying, the chief director, in addition to strictly controlling the quality of rehearsals, also spent a lot of thought on other aspects. The director coordinates the overall situation, and she has to personally review all aspects such as lighting, dance, art, props, and engineering teams. For this reason, Zhou Xiuying also pushed away a lot of communication and entertainment, in the past, she also went to various singing competitions as a judge to promote operas, but now she doesn't use it at all, with Qin Fang singing, she doesn't have to worry about no one buying tickets to listen to it.

Doing a good job of his original opera and striving for a good start is the top priority.

After Qin Fangge greeted everyone, he also joined in the preparations for the opera, but he couldn't be the shopkeeper completely. Even Zhou Xiuying, the chief director, has to ask his opinion many times, although he said that it would be good for Mr. Zhou to handle it. was also laughed at by Shen Jianping, Qi Hong, Zhai Liyin, and a group of their "senior sisters", he was lazy and didn't do things, and their own enthusiasm was very high. I am also quite familiar with the staff and engineering staff of the Grand Theater.

This time, Zhou Xiuying wants to create an opera completely dominated by Chinese, except for foreign musicians in the Grand Theater Orchestra, everyone else is Chinese. Of course, Zhou Xiuying didn't think that because of this, she would let the Grand Theater Orchestra expel all foreign musicians, isn't that blind?

Although these singers and behind-the-scenes staff have long passed the age of youth and enthusiasm, this way of preparing for the opera still makes everyone feel enthusiastic and energetic. You must know that before this, domestic operas often invited more experienced foreign opera colleagues to guide.

"Qin Fangge's potential is too great, we have to dig it out!" Not only Shen Jianping held this opinion, but other opera singers and the behind-the-scenes team of the Grand Theater also thought the same.

Qin Fangge couldn't be modest if he wanted to, he didn't dare to be ambiguous, and after seriously devoting himself to the preparations, the efficiency of the entire team became a lot higher. He was originally the original author, and he was very familiar with all aspects of the opera, and he also had his own thoughts and considerations. Of course, Qin Fangge basically put forward requirements and goals, and the rest was left to the team of the Grand Theater to complete, and it was impossible for him to conjure up props, costumes and other things out of thin air.

Zhou Xiuying, the chief director, also arranged more reasonably, and the main opera singers rehearsed the opera first in the morning, mainly their respective parts. She first arrested Qin Fangge, Zhuang Ding first set the other preparatory goals, and then let him go to deal with music matters in the afternoon.

At noon, I still had a working meal in the cafeteria of the Grand Theater, and after a half-hour break, I hurried to start rehearsals. This will not only be a matter for the opera singers, but also for the orchestra and choir of the National Center for the Performing Arts, and Qin Fangge will also have to guide him.

The importance of the orchestra and the choir in opera performances is self-evident, and although the general audience may not be focused on them, these two large ensembles are the foundation and essential of opera music. In these aspects, Qin Fangge, the author, has the most right to speak, and Yu Dawei, the conductor of the National Center for the Performing Arts Orchestra, has also said more than once, "If Qin Fangge does not perform, I will definitely invite him to be the conductor." ”

This is also a convention, especially when opera was prevalent at the beginning, like Qin Fangge, there were almost no composers and part-time singers. Composers are more of a pianist, violinist, conductor, etc., and when their operas are premiered, they often stand in the position of orchestra conductor, and when they rehearse before the performance, the composers will also participate in it. This was true of opera composers such as Mozart and Wagner.

Yu Fang, the conductor of the choir, also gossiped and asked Qin Fangge in his spare time during rehearsals, "When your symphony premieres, will you be the conductor?"

Qin Fangge replied with a smile, "I don't dare to rob your commander's job! ”

Everyone laughed, but conductors like Yu Dawei and Yu Fang didn't think so, so Yu Dawei suggested that he try it, "After all, the premiere, it feels really good to be a conductor, believe me!"

"Qin Fangge's level is not a problem at all to be a conductor!" Yu Fang also agreed, and said, "We are really not so stingy in commanding." Moreover, when your symphony is rehearsed, you must still have to go to the scene to guide it, at least you must first determine the emotion and style of the performance. ”

Speaking of this, the two conductors also opened their chatterbox, and they did not shy away from the problem that there was a gap in the overall level of the orchestra, which was originally a fact, and it was not advisable to cover up and steal the bell. Only by recognizing the reality can we make better progress.

The gap between the NCPA Orchestra and the China Philharmonic Orchestra is also clear, but of course, the focus of the two is also different. On the Philharmonic Orchestra's side, it mainly performs various concertos and symphonies, and occasionally participates in commercial performances, such as pop music and other competitions.

On the side of the NCPA Orchestra, it mainly accompanies opera performances, and there will also be concertos and symphonies, but they rarely participate in other performances, after all, they are an orchestra attached to the NCPA, and it is not easy to complete the task of performing at the NCPA.

Yu Dawei and Yu Fang also mentioned that the rehearsal of other performances, whether it was themselves or the superior leaders of the Grand Theater, attached great importance to the performance of "Don Juan", which could not be compared at all. Qin Fangge also expressed his gratitude for this, after all, this is his first "original opera".

His cooperation with the National Centre for the Performing Arts is also a win-win situation, and his current financial resources cannot afford the full cost of the entire opera, and the rehearsal expenses before the performance are not small.

Of course, Zhou Xiuying and Dawei are also clear, with the addition of Qin Fangge, the Grand Theater also has more bargaining chips for investment and sponsorship. For example, the title sponsorship of his first opera "Don Juan" sold very well, and the sponsors also felt that it was worth spending a lot of money. After all, Qin Fangge's popularity is here, and he hasn't received any outside advertising endorsements, all of which are endorsements of his own things. But sponsoring the show he participated in was quite profitable.

In addition, they are also preparing to perform abroad, which is also very helpful for sponsoring companies to make a name for themselves overseas.

However, Qin Fangge didn't worry about the specific sponsorship costs, but the number would definitely not be less, and he didn't think about sharing some soup or something, he didn't want to pay for it, and it was very good to have performance fees.

Zhou Xiuying and Xi Wanqing know better, here at the International Center for the Performing Arts, the sponsorship that originally came from banks and cars was relatively high-level, and now there are more sponsorships from watches and airlines.

In their opinion, the sponsorship of the airline is still quite necessary, and when the time comes to perform abroad, it is beneficial for everyone to go out directly with the airline's charter flight. And the official website of the International Centre for the Performing Arts is also very clearly written, sponsorship and return. This is also the most normal social phenomenon, if there is no return, it is impossible for other enterprises to sponsor you for free.

For employees of the Grand Theater like Dawei Yu Fang, the more sponsorship the better, and they can also raise their salaries and bonuses, which is directly related to their own interests. The most important thing is that they don't want to fall into the same embarrassing situation as the Roman Opera House, and they disband the orchestra of the opera house and hire them externally, to put it bluntly, to cut the income of their musicians, and it is reasonable for everyone to protest the strike. Only when the income is stabilized can the hearts of the orchestra choir be stabilized, otherwise everyone is busy taking on private work and teaching students to earn extra money or something, where will there be too much thought on the performance of the serious eight.

In the final analysis, everything is about money, and these artists are not exempt from vulgarity.

Qin Fangge was born, and the benefits brought to them are self-evident, there was little attention to opera performances in the past, and tickets could not be sold, so it was difficult to increase income.

Well, now the audience is enthusiastic, the attention is rising, the attendance is high, the tickets are sold out, and the sponsors are waving their money, and the situation is very good. We also know that we can't specifically count on government funding now, and they are all diligent and thrifty, and even places like the art troupe have been cut down a lot, and commercial sponsorship has become the top priority.

Although Qin Fangge is not a fortune boy, the social effects and economic benefits he brings are real. Yu Dawei and Yu Fang It is reasonable for these conductors to praise him, in fact, they are not bad, because there is a big tree of the National Center for the Performing Arts on it. For example, the China Philharmonic Orchestra has a more urgent need for sponsorship, introducing talents, updating musical instruments, buying copyrights, rehearsals, etc., there are too many places to spend money in all aspects, and if they are building their own rehearsal rooms and concert halls, they don't know how much it will cost to settle down.

In the case of the National Centre for the Performing Arts, the place is big enough, and all kinds of facilities are particularly complete, and the rehearsal and performance are one-stop, the more they need to make achievements. Whether it is a performance based on commerce, or the popularization of spiritual civilization.

Qin Fangge is undoubtedly the top priority in the strategy of the National Center for the Performing Arts, and his market appeal has surpassed all his current classical music peers. As for those happy troubles, they are also willing to eat. In the past, I didn't know how to sell tickets to have a decent explanation to my superiors and society, but now, I want to keep as many tickets as possible, to various related households, government sponsors, etc., I feel that no one is easy to offend, and it is also quite tangled, especially in a humane society like China.

Of course, this is not only the case in China, but also in other countries.

Yu Dawei also said that when they went to perform abroad and watched performances before, they came into contact with a lot of so-called upper-class people who were vassals and elegant. They don't even know what the classic opera is about, and they have to improvise all kinds of plots and so on.

is also like Yu Fang laughingly said, "Many boxes that go to the opera house don't want to listen to opera, but want people to see him listening to opera!"

But as opera practitioners, they also understand this, both at home and abroad, and Xiuxiu's superior status is the most normal thing. If everyone else goes and you don't go, or if you occupy a box that others can only look up to, the taste should not be too beautiful.

But Zhou Xiuying and Shen Jianping still hope that more audiences who really like opera can buy tickets to enter and enjoy the opera they have carefully prepared.

And Zhai Liyin also corrected with a smile, "It's good if these audiences can really buy tickets to enter, the opera is too dependent on sponsorship, and buying it is really ...... earning."

Everyone has the same view on this, and with such good conditions, they can concentrate more on the art of opera itself.
