Chapter 276: A Meaningful Arrangement
Just as she was stunned, Tao Wei saw someone come over and greeted her familiarly: "Tao Wei, I didn't expect you to come too, when I didn't see you in the hotel, I thought you had something to do and missed the invitation from DG Records." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
The person who spoke, Tao Wei, knew Lou Ye, and like her, he was a well-known violinist in China, but the other party was much more alive and nourishing than her. In addition to being a professor at the Magic City Conservatory, he is also the principal violinist of the City Symphony Orchestra, which is ranked first in the Magic City.
As the country's two largest centers for foreign economic, cultural and political exchanges, being the principal violinist of a mainstream symphony orchestra in Yanjing and Modu, the two most important cities in China, is indispensable in terms of strength, connections, status and mentorship. Lou Ye has had the opportunity to participate in and attend performances in previous visits by foreign dignitaries, economic exchange activities, and even state banquets and celebrations, not at all like her, who wants to live a better life, and has to work hard to go outside to open piano and violin training classes to teach a bunch of little kids. In a place with a developed business environment like the magic capital, as long as Lou Ye sits at home, a large number of people come to him waving banknotes and begging him to accept them.
Thinking of this, Tao Wei said jealously: "It turned out to be Master Lou, of course I'm not like you anymore, you can pick and choose, it's rare to have an invitation from DG Records, don't I just run over to make money and gain fame." ”
"Tao Wei, what you said is obviously burying me, my reputation is only a little louder in China, if I go abroad, I can probably only be regarded as better than the second rate, and it is not the turn of DG Records to look at me differently, if I really perform with those people, I guess I can only look at the back of other people's heads." The person who came joked and joked, and he didn't see that he was sarcastically ridiculed by Tao Wei at all.
If it were someone else, in the face of this kind of superficial praise but actually a little sarcastic, his face would probably be a little ugly, but Lou Ye didn't care. Although the relationship between the two is not familiar, as a person who also came back from studying abroad, he still knows a little about the origin of Tao Wei's viper character. I heard that when I was at the National Conservatory of Music in Paris, there were some problems in my relationship, and my personality became a little extreme. After returning to China, he did not stay in the magic capital and Yanjing like most people's choices, but ran back to Sichuan Province alone, and then nested alone, I heard that in the past few years, few people have gone out to communicate with their peers.
Therefore, Lou Ye's footsteps were only slightly paused, and then he spoke again: "In fact, with your performance strength and Zhu Erjian's reputation and status in China, if you can stay in the magic capital and Yanjing, you should not be much worse than me now, and you will definitely be able to have a place in the famous orchestra in China, maybe, I have to worry that you will rob me of my position." ”
It's just that Tao Wei didn't plan to discuss this issue with Lou Ye, and directly avoided talking about the arrangement of this performance recording.
"It seems that the people who come here are all under the age of forty, in this case, without the Peng family banquet, Tan Yun and the two of you will compete for the position, I am afraid that the violin chief played this time should be in your bag." Tao Wei said with some envy. The principal violin is not only the strongest performer in the violin part, but also the highest position in the symphony orchestra, but whenever there is an opportunity to perform soloists and the like, it is the principal violinist, so to speak, this position is the first person under the orchestra general conductor. And the two people she just mentioned are both seniors whose reputation and strength in the domestic performance industry slightly overshadow Lou Ye, but they are already a little older in terms of age, and obviously they have not been invited by DG to appear in this performance recording.
"It's not clear that DG seems to have taken this single recording very seriously, and not only the personnel list is kept secret from all of us. I've also seen it at the hotel, they've sent their own production team at the bottom of the box, and who knows who else will come, and if the masters of the major world orchestras are available, I guess I'll have to sit in the back row like you. Lou Ye shook his head and said, with a little confidence in himself in his words.
Don't look at the Magic City Symphony Orchestra in the first class in China, only under the Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Centre for the Performing Arts Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra, but in the world, it can only barely rank second-rate, he really doesn't have enough confidence to compete with those people, he can only see how DG arranges.
After the two discussed this with each other for a while without success, they saw that almost everyone had arrived, and Shu Chang, the person in charge of DG, also appeared with a lockbox and led everyone into the recording hall, and the result of the DG record company's arrangement was finally calculated.
And the way is to let people of all voices choose and compete freely.
"There were eight days of preparation for this recording, the first three days were to practice the score, and after the position was finalized, the middle three days were familiarized and run-in, and the last two days were the last two days before the sound was finished." Shu Chang took out the score in the lockbox, put it on the table and said, "Considering that the company doesn't know much about everyone's performance level, people with ideas can take a few more scores, and the positions of chief and below can be arranged according to strength." ”
As soon as Shu Chang's words fell, the people below couldn't help but burst into a small buzzing discussion.
"Isn't it based on our original position and fame in our respective bands?"
Everyone who heard it was a little surprised, and in terms of recording a single, it was not easy to ask a special symphony orchestra to score the music. In particular, these well-known performers in China, a medium-sized symphony orchestra of 50 people, is hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, plus the cost of renting a professional recording studio, in order to avoid excessive daily expenses, they generally designate a good position before coming, and they can start practicing directly after getting together, without spending extra time adjusting the performance position.
Therefore, even if they are invited by a leading company in the classical record industry like DG, with a large group like Universal behind them, everyone is a little struck by this kind of heroic method of throwing down millions without blinking an eye.
However, they can also understand the reason for DG Records' arrangement.
Since they are not looking for existing mature symphony orchestras, but from the excellent performers of each orchestra, the people who came here this time are completely breaking up and reorganizing a new symphony orchestra. And in order to achieve the best recording results, it is definitely those who have a high level to be placed closer to the conductor of the orchestra to guarantee the quality of the performance. Although everyone's reputation in China is high and low, the strength of the real wheel performance is not necessarily ranked according to their own reputation. In addition, the performers who can make a certain name in China and can be known by DG are basically arrogant people, who don't want to take this opportunity to compete secretly and really win or lose.
Of course, the most important thing is that DG's position in the classical recording industry also ensures that everyone will not disrupt the recording process because of this conflict.
After weighing the pros and cons a little, some people soon couldn't resist the desire to improve their own fame and status, and stepped forward to find Shu Chang to get more of the score, and the rest of the people were also a little hot. For them, this can be said to be another way to make a name for themselves. Especially when Shu Chang announced in public that Bonelli would be the chief conductor of this recording performance, everyone was not calm, and tried their best to take the full score, even if they couldn't actually use it, they could easily ask for advice and leave a good impression in front of the master.
Fortunately, there are so many music scores prepared in advance this time, otherwise, they will not be able to meet everyone's strong demand.
It's just that Tao Wei feels strange that it is understandable that Bonelli is not here now, because tomorrow is the important day of his old man's solo piano recital at the National Center for the Performing Arts, and he needs to recuperate, and the reorganization of the orchestra has just begun, so it doesn't matter whether he conducts or not.
But the question is, the most important position in front of the command platform is empty.
"Didn't you say a good piano concerto, who is that piano player, why don't you practice with us?" Tao Wei asked curiously when she took the score.
