Chapter 300: Decision
It's not for them to choose, but to give the choice to someone else?
This idea surprised many people present, and they directly expressed their doubts and rejections at the first time.
"No, no, I don't agree with letting ordinary people choose, we are directors, we need to make this festival more beautiful, it's our job, and all the audience needs is to put all their minds down and enjoy it, we shouldn't let them join in."
"That's right, this is the Salzburg Festival, and what we're thinking about now is who is going to play it, not just what the audience likes and we let them listen to it, which doesn't fit our vision for the festival."
"I'm just a few of them, and I can't agree to your proposal at all."
……
The voices of the crowd became very noisy after the man made the proposal, and everyone was speaking their opinions in that place, and the whole room was even like a vegetable market.
While everyone wants to make the Salzburg Festival even more perfect and enjoyable, everyone's approach is certainly different, and their ultimate goal is different.
Therefore, in the face of so many doubts, the man who proposed at the beginning to let the festival be chosen by the audience did not speak.
He waited until everyone had said almost enough, until he could only sit in his chair and gasp for breath, then he got up, nodded to the crowd, and spoke.
"I know what you're thinking, and I agree with you, because we're the directors of the Salzburg Festival, and we need to make it possible for all the audience to be able to enjoy the festival without thinking, and that's our responsibility, so I agree with you as well, but ......."
When he said this, he paused slightly, looked at the crowd, picked up his mobile phone, nodded to the staff on the side, asked the person to turn on the projector placed aside, projected the content of his mobile phone onto the wall, pointed to the content on it and continued to the crowd.
"But I have to make one point, who exactly is our festival for? Is it made for us old antiques? I think you all have an answer, obviously, no!
Our music festival should be done for music lovers all over the world, although we just hope that they can immerse themselves in the music festival, without being influenced by the outside world, just enjoy the music festival, but we must also do one more thing, that is......
Let them love the festival!
Please look at what I'm projecting right now. ”
The man pointed to the projector in front of him and spoke slowly to the crowd.
"There are many, many people talking about Pollini, and it's not as ordinary as we think, on the contrary, it's causing a lot of stir among ordinary people, as well as music lovers, and many people are wondering who we should choose to be Pollini's replacement for this year's Salzburg Festival.
They give a lot of answers, which seem to be useless, like ordinary guesses, but with the appearance of an answer, many people's tendencies begin to change, and it is clear that they want the answer they are guessing is this! ”
He tapped his phone lightly, and a statistical chart popped out of his hand.
On the statistics icon, the search results in the forums and in various places are marked.
There is no pianist who can replace Pollini's question, and the above gives a very obvious answer.
"Fu Tune!"
The man pointed to Fu Tuo in front of him, and said to everyone very seriously.
"Yes, obviously, as you can see now, Fu Tune is our answer, Fu Tune occupies the first position in all searches, and at the Salzburg Festival, among the replacements after Pollini's departure, the approval rating has gradually changed from 0.52% at the beginning to 37.32% after being discovered!
Doesn't that seem a little small? But let's take a look at the other pianists, just how much they have their approval ratings!
First of all, Lang Liangyue, who is in fourth place, many people are not satisfied with Lang Liangyue only playing a simple concerto, and hope that he can play a solo, but because many people are saying that Lang Liangyue's works this year are basically only that set, Lang Liangyue is in Paris, so his replacement support rate this year is 10.34%, a full 26.98% less than Fu Tune, everyone, I think this support rate should be very clear to everyone what it represents, right?
Some people may say that this is only the fourth place, but what about the others? How many others can there be? Maybe the third place, the second place, their support rate is about the same as Fu Tuo?
It's a pity, it's a pity that Kroos, who is in second place, and Ambraus, who is in third place, don't have a high support rate, basically just a little bit higher than Lang Liangyue, and it's even less pitiful than Fu Tuo, and this is actually not the point that shocks me the most, the point that shocks me the most, in fact, is this. ”
He tapped his phone again and projected a document.
"This is the data I got after conducting a survey, and at this year's Salzburg Festival, after Fu Tiao's name was noticed by everyone, the search frequency and subsequent support rate increased!
Obviously, after someone mentioned Fu Diao for the first time, a group of people began to search for Fu Diao, and the number of people in this group has increased from a few people at the beginning to the recent search frequency, which has been hundreds of thousands of times, and after searching for Fu Diao, Fu Diao's support rate has soared from the end of the beginning to the current first position.
What does this mean? ”
He looked at the crowd with a smile in the corner of his eye.
"It means that their recognition of the Fu tune, my friends, they recognize the Fu tune, and they feel that it is not enough for the Fu tune to play a simple chamber music at the Salzburg Festival this year, they feel that it is too little, and they want the Fu tune to continue to play, so it is clear that everyone, our audience is looking forward to the Fu tune."
"They're looking forward to Fu Tunes replacing Pollini as a full-fledged soloist member of this year's Salzburg Festival, and not just chamber music."
The man spoke loudly to the crowd.
The tone is very tough, as if it has to be Fu Tuo.
And everyone looked at the emotions of the person in front of them, and then glanced at the other people on the side, and it was obvious that they had noticed that among this group of people, everyone's eyes had begun to drift away.
Everyone has already begun to think about whether Fu Tune is really suitable.
After all, now their audience is looking forward to Fu Tune's performance, looking forward to Fu Tune being able to bring them a new auditory effect.
And they, the people of the festival organizing committee, although they prepare the festival for their audience, they decide everything.
But in fact, the music festivals they prepare are all according to the preferences of the audience.
To evaluate the level of a pianist or artist, in fact, it is not based on other messy things, but on some very simple data.
The number of times the pianist has been invited to major music festivals and how well he has worked with other symphony orchestras.
It's as simple as that.
If a pianist is not invited to any music festival or has any collaboration with other symphony orchestras, he is basically doing a solo concert by himself to attract his fans.
Unless he can prove that he is often invited to music festivals, it's just that he doesn't go.
Or those symphony orchestra invitations, he doesn't want to collaborate.
Otherwise, he may not be a top-notch presence in the international music scene.
Even if his fans still think that he is the strongest, it is only for his fans, not in the classical music world.
Because of the international music festivals and the symphony orchestras, they are the most sensitive.
They are capital.
These festivals are meant to make money.
Although I have been talking about charity, or saying that this music festival is just for everyone's happiness and not to make money.
But in reality, if a music festival keeps losing money, then there is no way for the festival to continue.
The end result is probably a normal ending, not known to anyone.
The same is true for symphony orchestras.
Especially those philharmonic orchestras.
These orchestras are very strong in terms of musicians, and at the same time, they are basically independent orchestras.
If you want to operate independently, rather than be supported by other people, then the most important thing is one point.
Sell tickets.
Only by being able to sell tickets can you continue to live.
And if they want tickets to sell well, in addition to their own reputation is loud enough, they always need to cooperate with others.
Get some interaction with your fans.
In this way, their tickets can sell better, and the orchestra will have the energy to pay their musicians and keep the orchestra alive.
And the top music scene and music festivals are not willing to invite artists.
With the exception of those who have made it clear that they do not want to attend any music festivals or work with any orchestra, everyone else has been largely abandoned by international orchestras.
Even if he holds concerts in various places every day, his fans have booked up tickets for concerts.
But he is still a very, very ordinary performer for international orchestras, without any value of invitation.
Let's be honest, after all......
The music festival invites you to come and play the piano, but they want to give you money.
Why do ordinary people give you money?
The reason why the Salzburg Music Festival invited Fu Tune before was not mainly because of how strong Fu Tune's ability was.
It's because of Fu's teacher, Klaus, and chamber music teacher, Hubble.
Klaus and Hubble are quite familiar with the major music festivals, so he discussed with the Salzburg Music Festival and asked Fu to be transferred to the Salzburg Music Festival.
Since it is just a simple chamber music, the overall time will be in the afternoon or morning, which is not particularly important.
Therefore, even if Fu tunes them, it is not a loss for the Salzburg Festival Organizing Committee.
In addition, the money given for chamber music is only the money for one game, not the money for one person, and the money given to them for one game is not much.
All these factors combined to make the Salzburg Festival invite Fu Tune and his orchestra to perform.
They never imagined that such an ordinary, just chamber music pianist would have so many fans.
At first, everyone just thought that his piano level was strong, and they didn't think much about it.
But who would have thought that Fu Diao was not only strong, but also had such a high support rate among the ordinary people.
As a result, those who had originally voted against it began to hesitate.
They looked at each other, and after struggling for a long time, someone finally spoke.
"I think it's actually quite good to let Fu Tune replace Pollini, after all, the current level of strength is very strong, and everyone's attention is enough, there is nothing wrong with replacing Pollini."
"Well, that's true, Pollini can't play it now, and Fu tunes now have such a high level of audience support, and our festival still has to make the audience happy no matter what, so ...... I support letting Fu be transferred. ”
"However, there are so many other pianists who have not had the opportunity to go on stage, and Fu has already successfully done so, I think ......"
"How can there be so many and some that don't, now that Fu Diao's support rate is so high, he must support Fu Diao, don't think so much, I suggest just let Fu Diao go on, we don't have to continue to discuss, just disband."
"That's right, I also decided to be Fu Tune, Fu Tune, this young man is quite good, quite suitable for our music festival, go back and let the person go to take a special look at Fu Tune's music festival arrangement, look at his repertoire list, see if you can make some fine-tuning, okay, that's it."
“……”
The crowd spoke.
Originally, I was still struggling with who should play in that place, but now it is only a few words of effort, and the final candidate is directly decided.
There is no doubt that Fu Diao is the most suitable person.
The piano level is strong, the fan cohesion is strong, and the support rate is far beyond the average person, what is there to be dissatisfied with?
Apparently there is no dissatisfaction!
You look at the support rate of the group of ordinary people for Fu Tune after seeing Fu Tune's resume, and then look at the support rate of other pianists, what else is there to consider?
Thus, after a final vote, it was decided that Fu would replace Pollini in the Salzburg Festival concert, and then the conversation was moved on to other aspects.
At this moment, Fu Diao was sitting in a small restaurant in Salzburg with Wang Jia and Lang Liangyue.
The arrival of the trio did not cause any disturbance.
Except for Wang Jia's appearance because she was in too good shape, which amazed the people around her, Fu Tuo and Lang Liangyue did not have any reaction.
Lang Liangyue is mainly sloppy.
He wore a simple short-sleeved, gray trousers, tied his coat directly around his waist, made a short skirt, and his hair was scattered to the side.
Unless you know Lang Liangyue and need to identify it carefully, you can't tell that the person in front of you is called Lang Liangyue.
And Fu tune is even simpler.
He was wearing a simple shirt and black trousers, and he didn't take care of it at all.
looks like a very refreshing handsome guy, without the temperament of the show.
Walking on the road is also eye-catching, not wanting to catch up with WeChat signals.
The three of them walked into a small tavern and ordered a meal each.
Because Wang Jia needed to keep in shape, she just ordered a salad, and there was no follow-up content.
The salad is really just a salad, which is completely different from the salad with salad dressing that is often eaten in China, with only vegetable leaves, not a single piece of meat, no sauce at all, and pure vegetable leaves stacked on top of each other.
Lang Liangyue and Fu Diao ordered a little more.
Lang Liangyue ordered a simple Hawaiian pizza with a little Spanish ham in it, which looked very fragrant.
At the same time, I also ordered myself a pasta, creamy mushroom noodles, which looked very fragrant.
And Fu Tune is a little cheating.
According to Wang Jia's recommendation, he ordered a Vienna fried pork cutlet, but when it was served, his face changed.
Are you sure what kind of Wiener fried pork cutlet this is?
Are you kidding?
Isn't this the kind of pork chop sold at the school gate? What's the difference?
Wiener tonkatsu is made by hammering a serving of pork into paper-like slices, then coating it with egg mixture, sprinkling breadcrumbs or flour and tossing it into a pan to fry.
It's as simple as that.
People who do well may have some juice in the pork.
And Fu Diao's family is a little cheating.
There is no juice, and the whole meal is dry and dry.
It's like the tonkatsu in the kiosk, which was put in an incubator and taken out all morning.
Dry, soft and collapsed.
Fu Diao, who ate it, only took two bites, then shook his head, looked at the two people in front of him, and shrugged helplessly.
"Sure enough, Austrian food didn't quite suit my appetite."
"Hahaha, maybe it's just that this one is not good, I think you might need to go to Vienna to eat better, or, you should try German pork knuckle?" After all, this place is only a few hours' drive from Munich, so the overall food should be similar, and the good food in Munich should be just as good here. ”
Lang Liangyue laughed when she heard it, rolled a piece of pasta with a fork and stuffed it into her mouth, and pointed to the pizza in front of her.
"It's okay, if it's not delicious, you can eat my pizza, it doesn't matter, this pizza was originally shared by everyone."
"Okay, then I'll ......"
Fu Tiao didn't have any politeness, and after smiling at Lang Liangyue, he planned to pick up a piece of pizza directly.
The next moment, however, his hand stopped.
His phone rang.
Looking at his ringing mobile phone, the crowd that was still eating immediately stopped.
They looked at the numbers on it, and their eyes gradually became eager.
The call, indicating the final result, came.
