Chapter 1165: Circle Fans
No matter how nice Zeng Zhiping said and how fanciful they were, Xi Wanqing would definitely not agree immediately. Besides, they didn't even bring a prototype this time. Regarding Xia Hua's mobile phone's intention to find Qin Fangge as an endorsement this time, Xi Wanqing is very clear, she likes Qin Fangge's potential, although he is strong, if he wants to completely open his name abroad and let everyone know, it will take time and marketing.
In Zeng Zhiping's words, this is a win-win result, what is the subtext Xi Wanqing also understands that if the advertising endorsement fee is too high, they will definitely not give it too high.
In view of this, Xi Wanqing can deal with it easily, and there is no big psychological burden. She and the team behind her have to weigh more things, what impact will Qin Fangge have if she really takes over this endorsement. In addition, the quality of Xia Hua's high-end brand Zhongsheng mobile phone this time also has to be evaluated by a professional. Of course, as the ultimate user, ordinary people actually have more say.
Qin Fangge still has to eat dinner, his body is exhausted and he is hungry and panicked if he doesn't eat, this will be two hours before the performance, and the performance is almost more than three hours, and he can't stand it if he doesn't eat enough.
When he and Zhou Xiuying finished their preparations and came to meet Xi Wanqing for dinner, Xi Wanqing also helped introduce Ambassador Yu Hongchong and his wife Zhao Yanling, as well as Zeng Zhiping and his assistant Zou Hong.
It is rare to have another greeting and politeness, Qin Fangge is also a person who has seen the world, it is not a problem to deal with the current small occasions at all, neither humble nor arrogant, polite, very artistic, not the kind of arrogant character that is unruly and unruly when he is ambitious as a teenager.
This also made Yu Hongchong feel a lot better about Qin Fangge, and Xi Wanqing also briefly mentioned to him in his ear that Xia Hua's mobile phone wanted to find him to endorse.
Qin Fangge is not stupid, it can be judged from the introduction of Zeng Zhiping's identity, he really doesn't have much interest in this, it's still the same old saying, just let Xi Wanqing and them watch it.
Xi Wanqing is still the same as always, and he doesn't need to do anything, as long as he is not in such a hurry to show his attitude, it's okay. If you want to be an endorsement, there are quite a lot of things to consider and weigh in all aspects, and it is not something that can be negotiated in a while.
When eating, Qin Fangge mainly fills his stomach, and he doesn't talk much, and when he eats well, everyone else is almost the same. After a short rest after dinner, Zeng Zhiping and his assistant didn't mention anything about looking for him to endorse at all, and he couldn't say too much, Yu Hongchong, the ambassador to the Czech Republic, was even more important to Qin Fangge.
Promoting cultural and artistic exchanges between China and the Czech Republic is also one of his responsibilities as an ambassador. Engaging in diplomacy, observing words and feelings, and understanding other people's meanings from various signals are only the most basic skills, just like Qin Fang's songs with high music, and the ability to listen to music and debate.
Qin Fangge is so popular and sought after in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, for Yu Hongchong, it is naturally a great thing, so that the people in their embassy have more work and achievements to do. It is not easy for this group of celebrities and dignitaries who come to listen to Qin Fang's song performance in the evening to gather these people together, and it is also quite easy and pleasant to carry out diplomatic work on such an occasion.
Especially Qin Fangge has such a strong strength, he can completely conquer these foreign audiences who were originally arrogant and considered themselves to have a higher level of vision.
Zhao Yanling also said with a smile, "I heard that there are still many audiences who have come from North America, and the charm of Qin Fangge's music is really incomparable!"
Yu Hongchong said that this is a normal thing, "But not his singing can be heard at any time and occasion, and for many people, they will definitely not be willing to witness it in person." We were lucky enough to have this opportunity......"
Qin Fangge said thank you, but Zhou Xiuying didn't let him be modest, "Originally, I didn't plan to perform on stage when I came to Europe this time, but unfortunately I couldn't stop them from being too enthusiastic, and we also felt that it was very necessary to show Qin Fangge's strength." ”
Zhao Yanling also talked about the situation when domestic artists came to Prague to perform in the past, "Even if Zhou Jia came to Prague for a concert, we were invited to participate, but the atmosphere was completely incomparable to the current grand occasion." At first, we went to check it out, but it didn't feel interesting later, so forget it. The performances of other art groups are becoming more and more boring......"
She also talked about a lot of interesting things, Chinese people go abroad, if there is anything to do, the embassy is the first choice, and many performing artists and groups often send tickets to the embassy. Many of them still come with missions, and they have to go to the show, but there are often not many people who actually buy tickets to get in.
Before Qin Fangge was born, Zhou Jia's situation was the best. However, as far as Zhao Yanling's feelings are concerned, as far as foreign pianists are concerned, they are on par with Zhou Jia's piano playing level, or even more powerful than him, which can be said to be a big deal. After all, after playing piano education in Europe and the United States for so many years, masters have emerged in an endless stream, even if classical music is not very prosperous now, and talents have not been buried.
Zhou Jia, an oriental face, actually adds a lot of points to him, and the classical music market is actually no different from other markets, marketing is also even more important, and it is not easy to get ahead. And once you become famous, it is not easy to maintain it, you must continue to invest, and it is also necessary to hold concerts in various countries to brush your face. Therefore, these performers, in the early days of their fame, are often very busy, flying non-stop every day, and it is most normal to go to various places to perform.
As for Qin Fangge, it is a complete exception.
Aside from his other musical talents other than vocal music, his strength as the "world's No. 1 tenor" alone is enough to make him remembered. Just like the path that Puccini Rossini's tenor singers once walked, in the current era of particularly developed information, once you become famous, it spreads faster!
Although they haven't personally felt the charm of Qin Fangge's tenor on the scene, Yu Hongchong and they have no doubt about his strength, and they have heard of it for a long time, and they have also seen relevant videos. At least in China, no one dares to question whether his tenor is mixed with water, otherwise, the negative reports will definitely be overwhelming, and the domestic media will not be soft at all when they hack their own people. Qin Fangge's previous performances at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma were also perfect, and won unanimous praise from ordinary audiences, industry insiders, discerning music critics and the media.
Whether at home or abroad, the name of "first" is particularly important. Although many times, everyone will say arrogantly, "Wen has no first, Wu has no second" and so on.
"Don't look at these European and American audiences, they usually boast of being tasteful and lofty. But when listening to this kind of opera, no one is exempt from vulgarity, and the audience is waiting for the final highc of the aria from the beginning. No matter how elegant and tasteful they are, in fact, they are waiting for these high-pitched C. This kind of opera is completely different from other operas, and for the audience below, whether or not you can sing these high-pitched C without flating the key is not the icing on the cake, but a real must-have. Therefore, now there are very few opera houses in Europe and the United States that dare to rehearse. A world-class tenor like Puccini Rossini doesn't dare to be tough when he is in a bad state, and when he gets older, he is even more useless. Yu Hongchong told the truth from the bottom of his heart, he and his wife Zhao Yanling's musical and artistic literacy is quite high, and they have also studied professionally, in a city like Prague, often going out to the opera house and concert hall, and it will really be embarrassing to lose the country's face if there is no music appreciation level.
Zhao Yanling also nodded, "Yes! When we heard that the National Center for the Performing Arts was going to rehearse, we all couldn't believe it, and some people inquired about us! Later, after listening to a friend's evaluation and watching the video, we were also convinced that our country really has a unique genius like Qin Fangge!"
Zeng Zhiping and his assistant's musical literacy was a little worse, but Yu Hongchong could still understand what they said. It was also the tenor Puccini Rossini who had previously publicized it, and also organized a group to go to China to hold a concert of the world's tenor singers, so that even if they are musically illiterate, they can roughly know what a tenor C is that challenges the limits of human beings.
In vocal music, the highc is equivalent to the C of the three groups of small characters on the piano. However, the scores used for tenors are all scored in higher octaves, so the highc of the tenor is equivalent to the C of the second group of piano small characters.
Zeng Zhiping They didn't get it so thoroughly, and they may not have an intuitive impression, but as long as you know, the treble C is recognized as the treble limit, and the male voice is forbidden area. It is also the heaviest touchstone in the hearts of all excellent tenors, and the standard of strength of soprano singers. It's completely OK to chat with friends around you, and on occasions like this, without being at a loss.
As for why Qin Fangge is known as the "world's No. 1 tenor", Zeng Zhiping and the others don't need to delve into the reasons at all, and the industry and the audience have admitted it.
It's not that hard to understand. After listening to Qin Fangge's performance in the evening, they should have the most direct feeling.
In the eyes of Zeng Zhiping and Zou Hong, Yu Hongchong, the ambassador, and Zhao Yanling, the ambassador's wife, are about to become fans of Qin Fangge.
Yu Hongchong and his wife didn't feel any shame or anything else, and they also wanted to talk happily with Qin Fangge. Not to mention the husband and wife, the former French president and his wife, and even the country's top leaders and their wives, all praised Qin Fangge? Where is the taste of these people? Of course, the words of the black president of the United States are another matter.
As for Zeng Zhiping and Zou Hong, as long as they have listened to Qin Fangge's performance tonight, it is a matter of minutes for him to be a fan of him!
After Qin Fangge rested for a while, he went backstage to the opera house again, ready to put on makeup and perform on stage.
Zhao Yanling and the others also laughed, "Makeup or something, it's completely a destruction of Qin Fangge's appearance! To be honest, the era of these opera performances is still quite different from our current aesthetics." ”
Everyone admits this, putting Qin Fangge on stage is usually tossing in ugliness, and in order to restore the real situation at that time, he has to wear clothes that are dirty to the scum.
Qin Fangge didn't care about himself, Zhou Xiuying also nodded, "Actually, it's not a good thing to let everyone ignore his appearance and focus more on his singing and performance!"
Qian Feifei also complained that Qin Fangge was too much, and he could eat with his face, but he wanted to use his talent to grab jobs with them, which made everyone laugh.
After Zhou Xiuying and Qin Fangge left, Xi Wanqing and Yu Hongchong didn't get together for long, and Zeng Zhiping didn't have much opportunity to sell their marketing plan for Zhongsheng mobile phones with Xi Wanqing, and some of them were still kept secret. But it is basically the same, that is, spending a lot of money on advertising, and there will be entities on the Internet. This is actually the same for domestic mobile phone manufacturers who take the international route, and in Prague, you can also see many outdoor advertisements of domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
But Zeng Zhiping and Zou Hong were not disappointed, they had already gained a lot this time, and Qin Fangge didn't accept endorsements before. Endorsement work, in the past, was easy to affect the image of celebrities, and was considered too commercial by their fans. This is especially true for an artist like him.
Fortunately, today's fans are more tolerant of idols, and even fans of classical music don't think there's anything wrong with letting their favorite musicians make money. The classical music market is declining, and if these talented musicians can't make money, things will only get worse and worse in the future. In the most high-sounding words, in order to promote classical music!
Those famous pianists before were like this, and if they came to Qin Fangge, his fans would be more understanding. Because opera is more unpopular and worse off than the piano, many opera houses are struggling. Opera singers, even famous role masters, have far lower incomes than pianists, and they are too niche to do anything.
Qin Fangge was born, but it is expected to change this status quo, and as soon as the title of "the world's No. 1 tenor" came out, it seemed that the entire Chinese people had face. The media spared no effort to promote and tout, and fans listened to it.
Zeng Zhiping is doing the preparatory work, and the information collected is also very detailed, when I see it, I think it is too exaggerated, I really listen to him sing the high note can reach **?
However, it cannot be denied that Qin Fangge's fame and number of fans in China are far from being comparable to those young musicians who have been famous for a long time. can't pull out the most capable Zhou Jia, the most direct manifestation is that the number of active fans on the Internet, Qin Fangge's fans are thousands of times that of Zhou Jia, which is not an exaggeration at all. Whether it is a Weibo message or a forum post, Zhou Jia's side is basically deserted.
wanted to find Qin Fangge as an endorsement, which was the result of Zeng Zhiping's careful consideration.
