Chapter 16: A Symphony Orchestra in Distress
Bow and thank "Ziyan Tianjiao" for the reward of 200 again!
Zhong Qi's words made the Grandmaster's eyes light up, he thought about it for half the night yesterday, and he didn't remember where to find a symphony orchestra. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The symphony orchestra is no better than others, a rock band has a drum kit, a keyboard, a bass and two guitars, he can form a group, and the choir can sing as long as there are people, but this symphony orchestra is definitely the "high-end" of the music festival, and ordinary people can't form it at all.
A full-fledged symphony orchestra, even the smallest single-pipe orchestra, if you don't count the conductor, it has to be thirty people. If it is a standard two-pipe orchestra, then it must start with about 90 people, and for larger three-pipe orchestras, more than 100 people are the most common......
And a symphony orchestra is not something that you can form by playing instruments, a symphony orchestra includes a string part, a wind part and a percussion part, dozens or even hundreds of people, if you can just play and don't know how to cooperate, then it is not called a symphony orchestra, it is called a murmur group.
Therefore, it is not easy to put together dozens or even hundreds of instruments perfectly. Therefore, every one of the musicians who can enter the symphony orchestra has a professional level of performance.
Just like the Tiandu Tianqu District Symphony Orchestra where Da Bing and Viagra are located, although it is only a symphony orchestra with a single pipe, this orchestra also has more than 40 people, and everyone has a professional-level performance level. The GI's performance on the saxophone and clarinet is professional, and the piano level of Viagra is definitely professional, plus they are high-achieving students who graduated from the Royal Academy of Music, so they can successfully enter this small symphony orchestra.
Zhang Bing thought for a while and said: "Brother Qi, I really don't know much about this matter, after all, the work of the head of the troupe is the work of the head of the troupe, and Viagra and I are just carrying the work in it, where do you understand this? ”
These words made the Grandmaster and Zhong Qi a little puzzled. Although the Dahua Empire is an out-and-out eastern power, the Dahua Empire has been established for more than 400 years, so the Dahua Empire has not only long been in line with international standards, but also has become one of the centers of the world early. In the Dahua Empire, not only folk music and pop music were prevalent, but Western classical music was also very popular. Therefore, there are many symphony orchestras in the Dahua Empire, among which there is an Imperial Royal Symphony Orchestra that can rank among the top three in the world.
In the Dahua Empire, thousands of professional symphony orchestra recitals are held every year, and almost every concert will be full of audiences, so it is really not easy to hire a professional symphony orchestra in the Dahua Empire. As for the price, the average person really can't hire a professional symphony orchestra.
Although the Tianqu Symphony Orchestra where Zhang Bing and Li Wei belong is not a large-scale symphony orchestra, it is definitely a professional-level symphony orchestra, so if you want to ask them to help, the price will definitely not be low.
Looking at the questioning expressions on the faces of the Grandmaster and Zhong Qi, Zhang Bing began to explain: "The price of a professional-level symphony orchestra is very expensive now, let's not talk about the Royal Symphony Orchestra. Even if it's a second-class orchestra, the price of asking people to sell is less than seven figures. Our orchestra is also professional, so if we had asked our orchestra to make a move a few years ago, it would have cost at least 400,000 yuan. ”
"But now it's different from before, the two years have been affected by the economic crisis in the West, and the symphony orchestra is not very easy to mix. Nowadays, our orchestra has very few additional performances per year in addition to the number of performances specified above, so the cost of our orchestra is now starting to become stretched. Private work, that is, fewer additional performances, the price will naturally fall. The last time I went to the Western Capital to perform, it was a private job that our troupe leader took over, and in addition to paying for our round-trip and food and accommodation expenses in the Western Capital, the final performance price for our orchestra was only 50,000 yuan. ”
Zhong Qi said with some disbelief: "50,000 Chinese yuan? How can it be so low? Soldier, it can't be your troupe leader who secretly got a zero, right? You are also a professional-level orchestra, how can you give such a little money for a performance?"
Zhang Bing said with a wry smile: "I don't know if the big company in the Western Capital has given us a red envelope in private, but the 50,000 Chinese yuan is indeed the cost of our last performance in the Western Capital." We can't help it, our orchestra is small and we don't have professional composers, so we can only play some of the pieces that have been played by the big orchestras. This is still the official background of our orchestra, and we don't have to consider the copyright of many tracks. If it is replaced by those private symphony orchestras, it will be even more difficult to mix, and the copyright fee of a single performance can kill a large number of private orchestras. So, except for those orchestras with professional composers, other orchestras are not easy to mix with. ”
After a pause, Zhang Bing continued: "Now many listeners are very picky, those large orchestras are good to say, some of the retained classic repertoire is a killer feature to win over the audience, plus there are professional composers, who can write a few new repertoire every year, so those large orchestras are mixing well now." As for small orchestras like ours and private orchestras that also don't have composers, many of them don't even have a clean slate. A few days ago, I heard that the Jinmen Symphony Orchestra had announced its closure, and it was a large three-pipe orchestra with hundreds of people, because their composers were poached by other orchestras, which led to the current result. Hey, do you still remember when we were in school, the award-winning Yan Tianjiao? (Hehe, Yan Tianjiao made a great cameo by the book friend "Zi Yan Tianjiao")"
"Yan Tianjiao, do you mean the guy who played the giant bull's nose with the violin in the same class as us?" asked the Grandmaster.
"That's right, it's Yan Tianjiao, who is known as the first violin in our year. Zhang Bing said.
"Hehe, I remember that man. A proud guy. At first, I thought this guy was a girl, but later I found out that he was an out-and-out old man, and it seemed to be one of our school grasses. ”
"Hehe, that's the guy. The name sounds like a girl's name, but it looks like a standard man. This guy was asked by the Jinmen Symphony Orchestra directly after graduation, but how long has it been since the Jinmen Symphony Orchestra went out of business...... A few days ago, Yan Tianjiao called me and asked me if there was a suitable place here. That's why it's hard to mix up the symphony orchestra now!"
Hearing Zhang Bing say this, the grandmaster's heart suddenly moved, and an irrepressible thought suddenly popped out.
