Chapter 256: The Vienna Musikverein

The invitation, inlaid with gold trim, looks solemn and solemn, with the words 'Golden Hall' written in strong German.

The Golden Hall!

by Princess Sissi's husband, Emperor Joseph of Austria. The Musikverein, built in 1863 by Franz I, is known as a musical mecca in the European piano world.

Anyone who can be invited to the Golden Hall means that he has been recognized by the European piano community, and it is a great honor for any pianist to be invited to play in the Golden Hall.

In Li Lin's previous life, there were only two people in China who were invited to the Golden Hall, one was Lang Lang and the other was Li Yundi, and these two people were not able to get the invitation to the Golden Hall for many years after they were internationally recognized.

And in this time and space, Lang Lang and Li Yundi have not yet been invited to the Golden Hall, although they have already played piano music in the Golden Hall more than once.

Yes, contrary to what people think, the Musikverein, known as a musical mecca, is not closed in normal times, on the contrary, it is open all year round, and anyone can rent the Musikverein for 30,000 euros to play, but this does not affect the attraction of the Musikverein to European pianists.

Flipping through the invitation letter, it reads a series of words in German, "On behalf of the Friends of Music Association, I would like to invite Mr. Li Lin to perform at the Vienna Musikverein on the 28th of this month." ”

Looking at the invitation, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Lin's mouth.

……

Number 28. Li Lin stepped on the plane to Vienna.

Vienna, the capital of Austria, is known as the capital of music and music. Here, musicians from all over the world perform here all year round, and countless nobles and wealthy people listen to music here and receive spiritual baptism.

It is the land of music and the garden of the aristocracy.

"Mr. Li Lin."

Li Lin, who was bored reading a magazine on the plane, suddenly felt that someone in front of him called him, he raised his head and happened to look at a familiar voice.

"Li Yundi!"

With a black suit and trousers, and meticulously constructed hair, this pianist, who became popular in China because of the rumors of 'Hongdi Love' in the future, stands in front of Li Lin at this moment.

"Mr. Li Yundi is also on this flight?"

"I came here to block Mr. Li Lin on purpose." Li Yundi smiled slightly. "Mr. Li Lin's piano music is highly sought after in China, which can be said to be a good start for us pianists."

"How so?" Li Lin also laughed, "Li Yundi's piano music is highly sought after abroad. I am afraid that Mr. Li Yundi will not look down on the small domestic market at all. ”

Compared with the weak piano atmosphere in China, it is still easy to mix abroad, whether it is the music level or the ability to attract money, which is why pianists like Lang Lang and Li Yundi can't wait to sign contracts with international music companies to perform in Europe and the United States as soon as they gain international fame.

In Li Lin's previous life. Li Yundi, a popular pianist abroad and an unknown pianist in China, wants to open up the domestic market. deliberately had a scandal with Wang Leehom about 'Hongdi Love', which immediately attracted the attention of a large number of rotten girls, and became popular.

Even a pianist like him, who has made a series of achievements in the world, needs to rely on this means to win attention, and it is conceivable how small the domestic piano market is.

This plane is a little better than the previous life, but it's just a few.

"Although the domestic piano album market is small, the advertising market is not small, especially for us pianists, who are the darlings of major jewelry, fashion and luxury cars."

Li Yundi said meaningfully: "If you can get the favor of the major nobles. It is equivalent to being favored by the world's best luxury goods. ”

Who are luxury goods sold to? Everyman? No, the real sales of luxury goods are the major aristocrats and the rich. This kind of luxury, which can easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions of dollars, is only affordable for the major aristocrats and wealthy people, and ordinary people just look at it.

The spokesperson of this luxury will definitely not be the so-called star, the so-called supermodel, their spokesperson is often the kind of pianist and painter who has more popularity among the major nobles and tycoons, for them, the aristocratic guest is their favorite spokesperson.

"The invitation to the Golden Hall is an opportunity for you, but it is also an abyss." Li Yundi said: "If you succeed, you will be recognized by Europe and the United States." ”

"If you fail, the door will be closed to you, even if you become a superstar in the future."

Fail?

A smile tugged at the corner of Li Lin's mouth, in fact, he never thought of failure, he had prepared piano music for the audience in the Golden Hall to shock them.

Li Yundi glanced at Li Lin, and immediately understood that what he had just said was for the deaf.

"I wish you success, but also attract time to play the piano with you." Li Yundi smiled and slowly returned to his seat.

The noon sun shone on the airport in Vienna, dyeing the airport in Vienna with a golden halo, and as soon as Li Lin and his team got off the plane, they were surrounded by several big men in suits and leather shoes.

One of them walked over.

"Welcome, Mr. Li Lin from Huaxia, I'm Haupple from the Vienna Musikverein." Hauple introduced himself.

"Mr. Haupple, I'm Li Lin." Li Lin nodded slightly.

"Please come with me."

Hauple invited Li Lin into the car.

The Friends of Music building, where the Vienna Musikverein is located, is beautifully decorated and resplendent, with 16 marble-carved statues of the goddess of music erected in front of the golden walls on both sides of the main hall. In the golden doorway behind the two wings of the upstairs, there are golden busts of the great musicians of the past.

On the top of the hall, between the golden openwork beams and columns, there is a colorful image of the goddess of music. Illuminated by the huge chandeliers, the lights glitter with gold everywhere.

Li Lin paused in front of the golden bust of the music master, his eyes a little abrupt.

"Mr. Li Lin likes these busts very much?" Hauple asked, smiling.

"I hope that in the future, there will be a place for me." Li Lin said with a wandering gaze.

The smile on Haupple's face stiffened.

"Mr. Li Lin, you probably don't know who these busts are!" Haupple's voice was a little cold, "The owners of these busts are the most outstanding musicians of all ages. ”

"Mind you, this is the ages."

They are the figures that need to be remembered throughout the history of the music industry, they are the equivalent of Queen Elizabeth and Emperor Napoleon in European history.

Li Lin said that he wanted to become a figure like Queen Elizabeth and Emperor Napoleon, which is simply a big joke in the world.

"I know." Li Lin said with a smile: "But I just want it and not necessarily?" I'm sure every pianist who comes to Vienna's Musikverein to play has this idea, doesn't it? ”

The smile on Haupple's face suddenly melted like ice and snow, "Yes, every pianist who comes here has this kind of thought, but you are the only one who can say it, I wish you a complete success in this performance, otherwise Mr. Li Lin, your thoughts may be lost to you for the rest of your life." ”

"I will." Li Lin nodded solemnly, and then slowly walked into the golden hall.

"It's the invitee to the Golden Hall this time, Li from Huaxia."

The reporters who had been waiting in the Golden Hall for a long time immediately saw Li Lin, and they immediately rushed over.

Here, Li Lin's identity is not a popular star in Asia, nor is he a popular actor in China, here, his identity is a pianist invited to play in the Golden Hall, and he is the first Chinese pianist invited by the Golden Hall in China.

Such an identity made all the reporters look sideways.

Every pianist invited by the Musikverein has something special about it, and they are often recognized by the whole of Europe, and thus officially enter the piano scene in Europe and even in the United States.

This is where the stage rises!

"Mr. Li, how do you feel about being the first pianist in China to be invited to the Golden Hall?"

"Mr. Li, playing in the Golden Hall, are you playing solo or ensemble?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li Lin needs makeup." Hauple smiled and pushed the reporter in front of Li Lin away, and then escorted Li Lin all the way into the backstage.

As Li Lin walked backstage, the Golden Hall officially announced the audience's entry.

The first to enter is the princess Madeleine from Sweden, who is known as the most beautiful princess in Europe, dressed in a gorgeous dress and wearing a crystal crown, which aroused the interest of reporters as soon as she appeared, and a large number of magnesium lights kept flashing.

Next up was Prince Emmanuel of Italy.

The prince, who had royal blood in his veins, was not doing well, because it was impossible for him to 'ascend the throne' because of the abolition of the monarchy in Italy, but Rao was still invited to be an audience at the Golden Hall.

Then there is the rebellious princess Stephanie, the Greek prince Nicolaos, the Spanish crown prince Felipe, and the Norwegian crown prince Haakon.

These noble princes and princesses have always been frequent visitors to the Vienna Musikverein, and they come to enjoy music at the Vienna New Year's Concert every year, and the Association of Friends of Music invites famous musicians or rising stars from all over the world to enjoy music.

After the princes and princesses entered, luxury cars drove over, and these nobles from various European countries wore grand dresses and passed in front of reporters with smiles on their faces, and slowly walked into the Vienna Golden Hall.

"There are a lot more nobles here this time than before." A reporter's eyes widened, counting the nobles in front of him, "The little princess of the Bourbon family is also here." ”

Walking in front of the reporter was a 12-year-old girl in a princess dress.

"It's the first time that a pianist from China has been invited to the Golden Hall, so they probably came to see the fun." (To be continued......)
