This is a poster of Fu Tune, which uses the same photos taken by Fu Tune at the Chopin International Piano Competition, and there is no change.

In addition to the name of Fu Tune written on the top, there is only a simple Chopin imprinted under the name of Fu Tune.

Fu Tune Chopin.

The two correspond to each other, and I don't see any characteristics, but I always feel that they have a deep meaning.

At the bottom is the time of this performance.

It's Saturday night this week at 8 p.m. at Cadogan Hall.

That's all the information on this poster of Fu Tune.

One of the most distinctive is that the half of Fu Tuo's body occupies seventy percent of the poster, leaving only some small places for those words.

Cadogan Hall, where Fu plays in tunes, is home to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO), which is quite famous in the local area.

Compared to places like the Royal Albert Hall and the Barbican Hall, this concert hall is not luxurious and looks much more quaint.

Regardless, it's also a venue with seats of 1,000 people.

Cadogan Hall, formerly known as Christ Church, first welcomed guests in 1907 and at its peak hosted 1,400 events of all sizes. After a period of ups and downs, it was reopened as a concert hall in 2004. The neat planning and simple decoration can't stop the unique charm it exudes.

Fu Tiao looked at the poster in front of him, picked up his mobile phone and checked the concert hall he was about to enter, couldn't help but think thoughtfully, and then smiled helplessly.

He also found out now, probably because he had just won the Chopin International Piano Competition, that the concert hall arranged for him by Deutsche Grammophon was not large, basically about 1,000 people.

The largest one is the Berliner Philharmoniker, probably because of the cooperation with Deutsche Grammophon itself, which allows Fu to play in the Berliner Philharmoniker.

The rest of the group is basically about 1,000 people.

It may be enough for ordinary pianists, but for Fu Tune, it is not enough at all.

It's not Deutsche Grammophone's fault, they are almost anxious to see Fu Diao's ticket sales, and this feeling of watching the money slip out of their pockets is really extremely painful.

From the beginning, they regarded Fu Tune, the winner of the Chopin International Piano Competition, as a second-rate pianist.

Although it is called second-rate, the second-rate pianists on their side are already about the same level as Deng Taishan.

Although Deng Taishan has a great reputation, he has won many awards before, and he has taught many powerful students, but his ticket sales are not ideal, although he wants to put him in the first-class batch, but his commercial nature is too low, and he can only be placed in the second rate.

Fu Diao: They think it should be similar to Deng Taishan.

Even if his level strength is not as good as Deng Taishan, his commercial value should be stronger than Deng Taishan, and he should be able to barely be counted as second-rate.

Therefore, after thinking about it, they booked the thousand-person stage commonly used by second-rate musicians for Fu Tune, and first let Fu Tune run around Europe, and give first-class or even top-notch occasions in several concert halls within their influence radiation.

They think that this kind of occasion for Fu Tune can definitely be regarded as very good, you must know that there are many people, and the concert halls they give are small concert halls with 500 to 700 people, what do you want to do with a concert hall with 1,000 people like this?

I just didn't think of it......

Fu Tune he actually performed so shockingly, and the ticketing capacity directly squeezed out the concert hall with thousands of people, and there was nothing left.

Even the tickets in many places were sold without publicity.

Take Lisbon and Madrid, for example.

They originally thought that these two places were not visited, but they didn't expect them to be full.

But fortunately, after Fu Tune's performance in London is over, it will be the New Year, during which many European musicians and orchestras are resting, and they can easily book some better concert halls.

That's why they haven't started selling tickets for the second half of the show yet, which is next year's concert.

If they could, they really wanted to change the first half of the concert for Fu Tune.

For example, today's Cadogan Hall concert, if they were to choose, they would want to throw it directly to the Royal Albert Hall.

That place has a lot of 5,000 people, and even if it can only be sold for half, it will be enough to pay for itself.

Deutsche Grammophon's ideas were different from Fu's, but their sighs were exactly the same.

It's a shame, if only I could get a better concert hall.

Fu Tiao reached out and touched the poster in front of him and felt the texture of the poster.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that the skin of this poster doesn't feel like plastic paper, but the feeling of cow paper skin with some textures.

It seems that the publicity of the Cadogan concert hall is still in place.

Fu Tiao put down his hand, ready to leave the train station first, and when he found a place to stay, there were a few voices of Chinese people around, and the four or five men and women who formed the group stopped in front of Fu Diao, looking at the poster group in front of Fu Diao with their backs to Fu Diao, thoughtful.

"Huh? Have you seen any good shows lately? ”

"I just flipped around, it's all musicals, these musicals have been performed several times, I've seen them before, I don't think it's interesting, are you going to watch them?"

"Forget it, it's better to go to the opera, I seem to have heard that Ferrero's wedding is going to be released recently, why don't you go to it?"

"God's Ferrero's wedding, Charlie's chocolate factory's blind date party, right? The wedding of Figaro, I remember singing an excerpt from it when I was in school. ”

The man took a small step back, sank his dantian, put out a double chin, and sang in a deep voice: "Se vuol ballare, Signor con tino, Se vuol ballare, Signor con tino......"

"Okay, okay, I know you took your bass and took the first grade exam, don't say it, I'm already envious enough, the bass is really God's food......"

Before the man could finish singing, someone on the side interrupted and rolled his eyes at the man.

Fu Tiao's pace as he was about to walk couldn't help but stop, and he looked at the few of them with interest.

Listen to what they mean......

What conservatory could they be?

There are only a few conservatories in London, if you guess correctly, it feels like it should be the Royal Academy of Music?

Fu Tiao couldn't help but think so.

The man who had just sung the bass note was not angry, scratched his head happily, and casually glanced at the poster in front of him.

Normally, there will be a notice of the latest performance in their school, telling them who is going to perform recently, and you can listen to it with your student ID, and there is a discount or something.

But more of them are classical, and a lot of them are crammed into some concert halls, and you don't know where the concerts are being held in the small concert halls.

There may be only a very small concert hall with about 100 people, and there are about a dozen people sitting in it.

Therefore, they prefer to see if there are any commercial performances on the street compared to watching dense leaflets in school.

Although it may be more popular and does not meet the needs of music students, who would refuse to be popular?

They scanned the poster in front of them and couldn't help but pick it up.

"Bolero, I'm tired of hearing this, it's still played by an unknown orchestra and an unknown conductor, I can't believe them......"

"There's also a tour of the Bei Jiu Wandering Orchestra next door, and this wandering orchestra is ...... Is it the one you've been to before? I think you went to play the role of a second mention last time? ”

"I'll take a look, it seems to be the one before me, but I have to warn you, this one is really bad, the principal violin really feels a little sick in the brain, I don't understand the play at all, I feel like I'm mixing, I don't know how he got mixed up with the principal ......"

Everyone whispered a glance at the dense group of posters, quickly commenting and skimming.

They set up a few concerts they might want to see next, and they talked and continued until ......

They saw the poster of Fu Tune.

"Fu tune, Chopin ......"

The man who sang the bass bel canto before paused, looked at the people around him, and coughed lightly.

"You ...... Did you buy a ticket? Fu Tiao actually came to London? ”

The words fell, and everyone fell silent for a while.

The leader coughed twice and whispered: "How long have you not paid attention to the music industry?" ”

"Huh?" The man was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Someone next to him explained: "Don't think about this, Cadogan Concert Hall, a small concert hall with a capacity of 1,000 people, do you know how quickly Fu Tune's tickets are sold?" It was sold out a few weeks ago, that is, the tickets for the second half of Fu Diao have not been announced, otherwise they will have to be sold out. ”

"Huh? More than 1,000 ...... Small concert hall? No, I've never given a concert in a concert hall with more than 500 people, so why is it that a concert hall with 1,000 people has become a small concert hall? ”

"Nonsense, you're kidding here, if you go to buy tickets and find out that they sell out so quickly, do you think this concert hall is so small? It would be nice if Fu Tiao could give a concert in that place across the street from our school......"

"Royal Albert Hall? Fu Diao, he can't reach the level, right? Even if it can be opened, he feels that he will need to queue for more than a year, and that place is hot. ”

"Anyway, I am also the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition, why can't I reach the level?"

"Alas, I really want to listen to Fu Tune's concert, really, why do these people put Fu Tune's concert posters outside, posted everywhere, it's really annoying......"

"It's just that, it's clear that there are no more tickets, and it's still being advertised everywhere, is this trying to make us envious? This concert hall really doesn't do anything. ”

"That's right! That's right! ”

As they spoke, they unanimously denounced the rot of the concert hall.

Obviously, I used such good paper to promote it, and put posters everywhere, but you sold out all the tickets for this concert.

Isn't this just useless propaganda?

Or starvation marketing.

This kind of merchant is really hateful.

The crowd kept scolding the concert hall and preparing to leave the station and go to other places.

It's just that when he was leaving, someone suddenly spoke.

"Anyway...... Is it possible that Fu Tiao has already come to London? I feel like it's almost time, right? Fu Tune is coming to the concert this Saturday, and he should be around London at this time, after all, he has to enter the piano test early. ”

"Indeed, according to what you said, it seems that Fu Diao may indeed have arrived in London, but London is so big, even if Fu Diao is transferred to London, it will be difficult for us to meet it, right?"

"Go back and ask in the group, ask who has met Fu Tune, and let them send it to us, although we can't listen to Fu Tune's concert, but it's always good to find Fu Tune and ask for an autograph."

"Cut, you didn't buy concert tickets, so you want to ask Fu Tiao for an autograph? If I were Fu Tuo, I would just slap you out! ”

"That's it! It's me and I'll let you go. ”

Everyone laughed and walked into the distance.

They didn't notice the slightly ordinary-dressed Fu Tuo who was standing behind them.

Fu Tiao looked at them in the distance with a strange expression, not knowing what he should say now.

I stood behind them for so long, and they didn't even notice it, and said that they were going to find themselves and ask for an autograph.

What is this?

Don't know the true face of Lushan, is it only because you are in this mountain?

Or ride a donkey to find a donkey?

Fu Tiao glanced at his clothes.

A simple black long-sleeved down jacket, the one that Fu Tiao brought from China before the competition.

I only washed it once after the game for more than two months, so it was a bit dusty.

The pants are simple trousers, with black sneakers, all black.

I can't see any artistic atmosphere, but I can't even recognize my own face, right?

Fu Tiao looked at the poster in front of him, and then looked at the students of the Royal Conservatory of Music who were chatting in the distance, and he didn't know whether he was famous or not, so he just sighed, picked up the package in the palm of his hand, turned around and left the station, and went to Cadogan Concert Hall first.

Following the guidance of the map in his hand, and after taking another transfer, he finally stopped near the Cadogan Concert Hall.

It is a pure white church-shaped building, which contrasts with the dark red brick buildings around it.

At first glance, it even has a bit of a Greek temple feel.

The purity of white brings a burst of peace of mind.

The Gundam bell tower at the end of the tower indicates the time of day with great precision.

While......

While......

While......

When the time came, the bell rang, the sound waves vibrated in the small space, and the echoes collided with the bells, bringing a trace of peace of mind.

Many of the people around even stopped, looked up at the bell tower that was ringing, and remained silent.

I don't know if it's because of curiosity or because of piety.

Fu Tiao continued to walk forward with his bag and walked a few more steps to the front of the concert hall.

Walking in, the concert hall has a stronger religious atmosphere.

Although there are no traditional glass windows with colorful glass, there is still a clear glass with intricate patterns as a decoration.

A sunken corridor is made under the five arches of the exterior wall, enclosed by a stone fence outside, from which you can watch the concert hall trailer on the other side of the corridor.

Fu Tune's concert is also among them, and occupies a very important place.

In the middle of these arches, a bulge is made, and a small name hangs on the wall of the door.

“CADOGAN HALL”

Cadogan Concert Hall.

The doors of the concert hall are open, and even before entering it, Fu Tune can already see the wooden doors and the structure with warm pale yellow tones.

It's completely different from the pure white cool tone structure on the outside.

A few steps inside, the staff at the ticket office sit and read the newspaper.

It's so much more relaxing.

After all, it was afternoon, and it was not the main time for the performance, only some passers-by came to visit, so he was extremely leisurely.

Fu Tiao stepped into it, looked around, walked to the staff member in charge of buying tickets, tapped the table with his knuckles, and asked very gently.

"Hello, I'm a pianist who has an appointment to come to the performance this Saturday night, Fu Tune, where is the early trial before the performance?"

"Huh?"

The man put down the newspaper in his hand, looked Fu Tiao up and down, got up and pointed to the words "office" behind Fu Tiao, and said simply.

"I'm not in charge of that, the person in charge is there, you can go to him."

"Okay, thank you."

Fu Tiao smiled at the conductor, walked in the direction of the office, knocked lightly on the door, and with a body of invitation, the door in front of Fu Tiao opened.

A lean, middle-aged man in a beret, wearing a vest and suspenders, appeared in front of Fu Xuan, about forty years old, if he had a pipe in his mouth and a monocle, maybe he was the stereotypical English man.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a pipe in his mouth and he didn't have a monocle.

Fu Tiao looked up and down thoughtfully, and just as he was about to speak, the man's eyebrows rose, and he smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Fu Tiao, and said with a smile.

"You're Dior, I'm White, we already know the news of your coming, please come here, we've already helped you put your piano behind the stage in advance."

With that, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Fu Diao to get out of the way and let him out, and then walked forward quickly, leading Fu Diao in the direction of the concert hall.

Although it is a small concert hall with only about 1,000 people, it still has a small bar and a reception hall.

They quickly passed through the empty lobby and pushed the door open into the concert hall.

In an instant, an extremely pure white color came into Fu Xuan's sight.

This is Cadogan Hall, a former church concert hall and one of the most holy concert halls in London.

Fu Tiao stepped into it, and the three pianos were already placed in the center of the stage, waiting for him to use.

The person in charge kept flipping through the information in his hand and said quickly to Fu Diao.

"Well, we only have three pianos in this place, the Steinway & Sons D274, Yamaha CFX, and the Kawaii SK-EX, you can try it yourself, choose the piano you like, and sign it off in this place."

"Okay."

Fu Tune stepped forward without hesitation, came to the piano and dropped a few notes casually, and then ran a random scale, as well as the melody.

Everything was just as he thought.

Just as he was about to come down to sign the specific piano, there was a sudden noise at the door of the concert hall, which sounded like a Chinese.

Fu Diao's eyes looked, just as the door of the house was carefully pushed open, several people poked their heads out and whispered.

"Hey, you say, is he in this concert hall now? I just heard the sound of playing the piano? ”

"Unlikely, right? After all, Fu Tune only came to perform on Saturday, and I feel that he should come to audition on Saturday, and he may practice elsewhere at other times? For example, a Steinway & Sons boutique? Why don't we go to a Steinway & Sons store first? ”

"yes, isn't it too early now...... Yes? ”

The voices of the crowd gradually became weaker, and their pupils couldn't help but dilate.

Their eyes saw Fu Tuo, who was standing in the middle of the stage, ready to sign his autograph.

"? Fu tune? ”
