With Lu Xianger and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's "Liang Zhu" theme concert tour, he has performed in various countries in Europe.

There are more and more reports from foreign media.

In the beginning, foreign entertainment media reported on the name of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

After all, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is the world's most famous symphony orchestra, and entertainment news still has to give this orchestra a certain amount of space.

With more and more reports, the names and posters of Lu Xianger and "Liang Zhu" have also appeared more and more in the entertainment media, allowing more and more foreign audiences to know such a violinist from the East.

If you are just a little-known musician, it is difficult to get the attention of foreign audiences.

However, Lu Xianger has the Paganini Gold Award, which is a winning award.

That's where the awards come in.

When the audience doesn't know a performer or star, one day they see it on the entertainment news, and then take a second look and find out...... Hey, I've won such a high award.

In this case, this performer and star will be much higher in the impression of ordinary audiences.

In addition, famous performers such as Patrick Pate praised "Liang Zhu".

As a result, more and more foreign audiences are interested in this concert.

In particular, the audience who often attends concerts listens to the music of Beethoven, Chopin, and Mozart all year round.

Now there is a violin concerto "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" from the East, and it has been praised by many performers.

Audiences who like symphonies will be more or less interested in this concerto.

If you are a symphony lover who is interested in oriental culture, you will be even more interested in listening to such a concert.

Therefore.

Since the third concert of "Liang Zhu" held at the Amsterdam Concert Hall in the Netherlands, the proportion of foreign audiences has begun to increase.

For domestic audiences, flying abroad to listen to a concert is indeed a more troublesome thing.

Airfares and tickets are expensive, and you have to take flights, so it's hard to go and go on the same day, and you have to stay in a hotel, which takes at least two days to come and go.

As a result, the proportion of domestic visitors buying tickets began to decline.

However, the proportion of foreign audiences has risen, and concert tickets are still hard to find.

……

After New Year's Day.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er rested for two days and went to Vienna together to listen to Patrick Pate's Tchaikovsky concert.

The tickets were given by Patrick Pate.

The musician personally gave away the ticket, and if you don't go, it's a little rude.

Moreover, Fang Xing also wanted to hear how much the Austrian violinist had improved.

I wanted to know his level of performance because his name was on the entry list for the International Tchaikovsky Violin Competition in Möster in May.

Things were a bit of a coincidence.

Lu Xianger was also going to participate in the Tchaikovsky International Competition in May, and she met this Austrian fat man again.

Moreover, Patrick Pate's current concerts are all special to Tchaikovsky, and all of them play Tchaikovsky's famous songs.

This is now in preparation for the May race.

In fact.

The same is true for Lu Xianger and the Vienna Philharmonic's "Liang Zhu" theme concert.

The name of the concert is "Liang Zhu" theme concert, but it is impossible to perform only the concerto "Liang Zhu" in a normal concert.

After all, "Liang Zhu" is only 26 minutes long, and the concert is at least two hours.

Therefore, the rest of the time, all Tchaikovsky's famous songs were played.

……

The place where Patrick Pate gave his concert was the Vienna State Opera.

This opera house is one of the most famous in the world, and it is rarely rented out.

In other words, it is difficult for anyone with money to hold a concert at the Vienna State Opera.

Vienna is the capital of Austria, and Patrick Pate is an Austrian.

As an Austrian violinist, he was given special treatment to give concerts at the Vienna State Opera.

The concert was a great success.

After all, Patrick Pate is already a famous violinist, and he is still working with the Austrian Symphony Orchestra.

After listening to this concert, Lu Xianger was stunned.

Fang Xing shook her palm and asked, "Getting nervous?" ”

Lu Xiang'er nodded and replied, "One thing, I didn't expect to meet him again." ”

Fang Xing smiled and said comfortingly: "On the road of music, we only need to surpass ourselves, not others. ”

Lu Xiang'er nodded and replied, "I know, but I'm still nervous." ”

A big reason why she was nervous was that she wanted to use "Liang Zhu" to compete.

A concerto that is not internationally well-known enough is actually a disadvantage for competition.

Fang Xing asked, "Why don't you change the tune?" Replace it with a world-famous song, and be more sure. ”

Lu Xiang'er shook her head and insisted: "I decided to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition at the beginning, just because I wanted to play "Liang Zhu" on the competition field, even if I don't win the award, I will stick to this decision." ”

Fang Xing nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then try your best to compare, regardless of winning or losing, as long as you stand on the stage and play "Liang Zhu", you have already achieved your goal." ”

Lu Xiang'er smiled, and then joked: "What if I can't pass the first round?" ”

The International Tchaikovsky Competition for Violin, with a total of three rounds.

"Liang Zhu" should be played in the last round, that is, at least the first two rounds must be passed before there is a chance to play "Liang Zhu".

"That's your level regression." Fang Xing didn't hurt her politely at all.

Lu Xiang'er pursed her lips and snorted, "I didn't have it." ”

When the two spoke, the surrounding audience had almost left the stage.

"Let's go. Go back to the hotel to rest first, and tomorrow I have to catch the morning flight home. Fang Xing said and took her hand and stood up.

At this time.

Patrick Pate came backstage, descended the steps of the stage to the audience, walked all the way to the two of them, and said in English, "Thank you for coming to my concert." ”

He waited backstage for a while, but didn't see Fang Xing and the two go backstage, so he took the initiative to go to the front to find it.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er had been talking just now, and the other audience members had withdrawn, and there were very few remaining audiences in the entire concert hall.

So Patrick Pate saw the two at a glance.

Fang Xing stretched out his hand to shake him, and congratulated: "The performance is very successful, congratulations!" ”

"Thanks, do you want to hear next week's concert? I left the ticket. Patrick Pate is ready to continue giving away tickets.

Fang Xing hurriedly stopped: "It may not work next week, the itinerary has been relatively full recently." ”

If you come to a concert, you have to delay at least a day or two, Lu Xianger still has a concert to do every week, plus the weekly rehearsal time, the time is indeed a bit tight.

Besides, this Austrian fat man was a little overzealous, and it was inappropriate not to participate in his ticket, so he could only decline politely.

Patrick Pate also understood, pulling out the hand that had reached into the inner pocket of his suit and said, "Okay. I'll be going to your concert when I have time, and I'll see you in Moscow in May. ”

Apparently he had already seen the list of entries for the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition.

"Okay, see you in May." Lu Xiang'er agreed.

It was a friendly competition, and after four years, it was met again on the international stage.

One is the Paganini Gold Award and the other is the Paganini Silver Award.

And this time the venue is the cold city near the Arctic Circle.

……

Coming out of the Vienna State Opera, Fang Xing and Lu Xianger met foreign reporters at the door.

The other day, the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition announced the list of entrants, and the name of Patrick Pate was on the list.

Austrian entertainment journalists, of course, have to find a way to interview the Austrian violinist.

Before Patrick Pate arrived, the Austrian reporter saw Lu Xianger first.

Now, in addition to Huaxia, Lu Xianger is the most well-known in Austria.

After all, the famous Austrian violinist was crushed by a girl from the East at the Paganini Competition.

The more Patrick Pate becomes more famous in Austria, the more famous Lu Xianger will be.

Especially this time, the cooperation between Lu Xianger and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra has raised the popularity to a new level.

Therefore, the Austrian reporter recognized Lu Xianger and hurried forward to interview.

The Austrian reporter asked in English: "Excuse me, are you a violinist Miss Lu?" ”

Lu Xiang'er didn't expect to meet a foreign reporter, so she quickly corrected her attitude and replied, "I'm Lu Xiang'er." ”

Austrian reporter: "Excuse me, did you come to Patrick's concert to spy on the May game?" ”

Lu Xiang'er was stunned for a moment: "Eh...... No. ”

Fang Xing helped: "We were invited by Mr. Patrick to attend the concert. ”

Austrian journalist: "Miss Lu, you and Mr. Patrick will be competing in the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition in May, which means that you will be rivals again. After listening to Mr. Patrick's concert, what do you think of his performance? ”

Lu Xiang'er nodded and replied, "Mr. Patrick is very powerful, I admire his professionalism and friendliness. ”

Just as the two were answering a question from an Austrian reporter.

There was a microphone next to it, and it was handed over very skillfully.

Fang Xing took a closer look and found that it was a familiar face, and it was a reporter who stirred up the news.

The Austrian reporter saw that there was a media logo on the microphone handed over, and he was immediately a little dissatisfied: "Hey! Man, you should line up in the back and wait for me to ask before coming up. ”

The Austrian reporter is interviewing with a cameraman, and now he has a microphone and a media logo, which will cause the shot to be filmed with the logo of the stirring news.

Fang Xing looked at the agitated news reporter and said, "We won't run, we will be interviewed by you later." ”

The domestic entertainment news industry is very volatile, and if you don't compete, it is difficult to get first-hand interview materials.

Moreover, stirring news is the king of volume in the domestic entertainment news industry.

However, now Fang Xing agreed to be interviewed.

The agitated news reporter withdrew the microphone and stood aside and waited.

The cameraman behind him continued to shoot.

After the Austrian reporter finished asking, the agitated news reporter stepped forward to conduct an interview.

Fang Xing was a little curious and asked, "Why did you come here?" Most of this concert is a foreign audience, so there should be nothing worth interviewing, right? ”

The agitated news reporter grinned: "We are here specifically for Mr. Fang." ”

Fang Xing frowned and asked, "How do you know that we are here to listen to this concert?" ”

The agitated news reporter replied with a smile: "I knew it through special channels." ”

He didn't say it explicitly, it should be to keep it secret for the whistleblower.

When Patrick Pate presented the tickets that day, there were quite a few people backstage, so it was not surprising that the news leaked.

Fang Xing smiled helplessly: "Okay." If there's anything to ask, ask. ”

Before the agitated news reporter came, he had already done his homework and started asking questions:

"I heard that Mr. Fang and Miss Lu came here to listen to the concert after being given tickets by an Austrian violinist, right?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "It's Patrick's ticket." ”

Stirring news reporter: "Do you know Patrick Pate who also participated in the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition in May? ”

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "I saw it a few days ago." ”

Stirring news reporter: "Does this mean that Miss Lu Xianger is going to stand on the field with Patrick Pate again?" Miss Luk Xiang'er, as a Paganini Gold Award, are you confident that you will beat the Silver Award winner again? ”

Lu Xiang'er shook her head and replied, "I'm not sure, but I'll do my best to compete." ”

Stirring news reporters: "Listening to Miss Lu Xiang'er's tone, I don't seem to have much confidence. ”

Lu Xiang'er frowned and didn't know how to answer.

Fang Xing interjected with a smile: "Don't force her, she's not me, and she dares to brag to anyone." Humility is a traditional virtue in our country, so don't take it out of context and let us concentrate on preparing for the May race. ”

The agitated news reporter replied in a solemn tone: "Mr. Fang, rest assured, we like to make big news, but we can still make a clear sense of the major rights and wrongs of winning glory for the country. ”

As he spoke, he let the camera sweep over the Austrian State Opera behind the two of them, and continued to ask: "A month ago, when Miss Lu Xianger held a concert, she chose the Golden Hall, why didn't she choose to be in this Austrian State Opera?" ”

Lu Xiang'er was a little confused: "I don't know, I didn't prepare for the concert." ”

Fang Xing added: "You must have done your homework before you came, do you knowingly ask?" The Austrian State Opera House is rarely rented out, so Austrian musicians like Patrick Pate can give concerts here. ”

Agitated journalists did their homework, and asking this question was deliberate.

He continued: "Austria is really very popular with their country's performers, and as far as I know, Patrick Pate gives more than ten concerts a year at this opera house.

"How do you feel about seeing Austria so highly praised as its own performer, Miss Lu Xiang'er?"

Lu Xiang'er was stunned again, blinked her eyes and said, "I don't have any feelings." It's normal for Austria to be kind to their country's performers. (End of chapter)
