Chapter 195: Mockery
Norton Royal Concert Hall, according to legend, the founding emperor of the Barron Kingdom liked the symphony very much, but he was never able to hear the symphony that satisfied him in the country, he thought that it was caused by the lack of attention to domestic music, and in a fit of anger hollowed out the assets of the royal family at that time to build the Norton Royal Concert Hall, because of the luxurious interior decoration of the concert hall is also known as the "Golden Palace", representing the highest level of the Barron Kingdom symphony, and all the orchestras that can be played here are well-known large orchestras.
Harvey and Diana came here in a formal suit, Harvey's usual slim black suit, this era is the only way for men to wear it is considered formal wear, Diana is wearing a white and blue dress long skirt, thin waist and wide group, the silk suspenders of the long skirt wrapped around the jade neck, which was originally enough to expose the delicate collarbone and jade back, Harvey disliked it too much and added a light blue shawl, which looked noble and elegant, wearing blue gloves and holding Harvey's right hand and entering the hall together.
Even Harvey, who is a traverser, can't help but marvel at the luxurious decoration of the Norton Royal Concert Hall, the corridor is covered with a red carpet, and the price can be seen from the exquisite gold pattern, the two sides of the corridor are either hung with art paintings, or art statues and flowers, and the corridor is hung with a crystal chandelier every ten meters of the dome, the light is softer, although it is not dazzling, the lighting is really not very good, perhaps because of this, it makes the atmosphere of the corridor look more solemn.
At the end of the hallway, a white-gloved doorman stopped Harvey and Diana.
"Sir, ma'am, I'm sorry it's not a place to visit."
"I know, I'm here to find Mr. Griffin."
The doorman looked at Harvey hesitantly and respectfully: "You are a musician?" But Mr. Griffin didn't tell me someone was coming today. ”
"Then may you tell Mr. Griffin on my behalf that Harvey Adrian would like to meet with him."
The doorman stared at Harvey's face impolitely for a moment, then turned to reveal uncontrollable excitement, and hurriedly replied, "Oh! Of course, please wait here for a moment. ”
"Your name is so good." Seeing the doorman leaving in a hurry, Diana, who was holding Harvey's arm, raised her eyebrows lightly, and her tone contained a hint of sarcasm.
Harvey smiled cheekily: "That's why I want to be famous." ”
After a while, Griffin personally led Harvey in, he hadn't seen him for a few months, Griffin in a black suit looked more energetic, his eyes were sharp, and he had the temperament of an orchestra leader, after seeing that it was really Harvey, his serious face relaxed slightly: "My friend, if you want to come to me, you can tell me in advance, I am ready to welcome you." Ms. Diana, I haven't seen you for a while, and you are more radiant and beautiful than ever. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm also looking for you temporarily."
Diana let go of the jade hand holding Harvey, lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted, "Mr. Griffin, you also look younger and younger. ”
The three of them said hello, Griffin took Harvey in and introduced Norton Royal Concert Hall by the way, first of all, the recital hall, the stage is U-shaped, the gap is the stage, and the U-shaped is the auditorium, which is divided into four floors, layered, which can accommodate more than 4,000 spectators to enjoy the performance, and can also add more than 500 additional stations. The constant silence in the room eliminates all the noise of the performance, and the structure of the building is obviously designed by someone who is well-versed in architecture, similar to the structure of a movie theater, and the sound can form a reflex loop inside the building, so that all the audience can clearly hear the music.
All the lighting in the interior is provided by a huge ring lamp with a radius of more than 20 meters in the dome, and the wine-colored lights spread to every corner of the hall as if coated with a layer of honey, no wonder it is called the "Golden Temple".
In addition, Norton Royal Concert Hall has not only a single concert hall, but also five side halls, many smaller concert halls that can accommodate more than 100 people, and some of which are inconvenient to move like pianos. Overall, Griffin's orchestra is just one of the vast majority of orchestras that practice here.
Before they came to the side hall that Griffin said, Griffin's face next to Harvey suddenly became ugly, and the three of them met a thin middle-aged man, his hair was neatly combed, his eyes were dark and sharp like an eagle, and his cold look squeezed out a smile after seeing Griffin: "Griffin, are you recruiting orchestra members again, you gave up the idea of playing at Norton Royal Concert Hall ten years ago, and you want to play here again after ten years?" What is the role of the so-called orchestra being a patchwork of savages? ”
"Murphy, I don't need your opinion on my business." Griffin said the name with an ugly face.
The man named Murphy glanced at Harvey and said lightly, "Did you join this orchestra because you were interested in the so-called phantom?" What kind of symphony can be played by a group of people of all religions and nine ranks, this is not the place to put your hippie smile on the stage. ”
"Enough, he's not an orchestra member, and he's not the object of your mockery, he's my guest." Griffin stepped up and said in a cold tone.
"Oh, that's rude." Murphy gave a formulaic smirk and smiled at Harvey's gloved right hand, "I'm Murphy, the conductor of the Osborne Orchestra." ”
The Osborne Orchestra, known as Norton's finest orchestra, is known as the best orchestra in Norton, and most of the time it plays abroad, costing a single performance for a balun, but each one is sold to capacity.
Harvey shook hands with him and smiled, "I'm Harvey Adrian, I'm here to watch and play." ”
Murphy's gloomy face was stunned: "Oh? Are you the young writer who wrote "The Count of Monte Cristo"? ”
"You're overrated."
"It's a pity that your friend doesn't have a good eye, although the score may be excellent, but you can't play a symphony with a score, you also need to pick the right orchestra to play, some orchestras are like wild dogs on the side of the road who always listen to the beauty of different music, it's rude." Murphy politely walked past Harvey, taking off his white gloves and throwing them into the trash at the corner of the hallway.
Diana frowned and asked, "Mr. Griffin, do you have any grudges with him?" ”
Griffin pressed his chest, his face turned pale with anger, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There are no grudges, I have competed on the same stage before, and he is from a noble background, his father is a famous musician in the kingdom, of course, he no longer plays now, and I am from a commoner, it's as simple as that." ”
It's a struggle between classes again!
Harvey sighed inwardly, music has always been regarded as an upper-class pastime, and in the old days, Griffin's commoner status alone would have ended his musical career.
