Chapter 308: Performance

Fu Tune's performance was extremely successful.

Although he is not one of the most successful performers at the Salzburg Festival, his performances are hard to reach compared to other pianists.

And this time, Fu Tiao finally succeeded in passing the concert and made his reputation out.

Many people didn't know Fu Tune before, at most they only barely knew a little bit about Fu Tune, and knew that Fu Tune had won the Chopin International Piano Competition last year, and that's it.

But now, more and more people are beginning to know Fu Tune.

As a player who replaced Pollini, Fu Tune also succeeded in making some fans who like Pollini pay the same attention to him, no longer just a passerby, but a fan.

Such an achievement shocked Fu Diao's brokerage company, and they never thought that Fu Diao could actually do this.

It's just a pity that this year's festival has basically ended, and there is no way to arrange other concerts this year.

Only the last two charity concerts can be performed.

This situation also made the agency start to think about whether to add more concerts to Fu Tune in 2017.

At the same time, they also began to struggle to see if they could move around some connections and let those music festivals invite Fu Tune.

After all, the current Fu tune can be called in the limelight.

If there is a younger generation of pianists, who can be liked by the audience more, and who has a stronger professional level.

Then we must mention the name of Fu Tune.

You can't find anyone else who can replace Fu Tune in the place he is in now.

Under such circumstances, the two charity concerts of the Ruhr Piano Festival that Fu Tiao went to participate in also achieved a more sensational effect.

After countless people knew that Fu Tiao was going to attend a charity concert, they immediately took out their money and begged the official of the Ruhr Piano Festival to take it away and give them a place in the concert.

And because of this, it is a hot sale.

Originally, it was only planned to open a concert hall on the first floor, and the Essen concert hall, which was almost a thousand places, was finally opened to the fourth floor.

That is, all the layers are opened up for those who like Fu tunes to listen to his performance.

《……》

Countless newspaper reports began to mention the incident, and Fu's reputation grew as well.

And as the same as Lang Liangyue, he is also a person from Huaguo.

In addition, his main battlefield is in Europe, not in the beautiful country, so the ticket price of Fu Tune has gradually increased from the original ticket price of ordinary first- and second-tier pianists, to the lowest price of 30 euros.

This price is not cheap.

You must know that pianists in many places may only have a maximum ticket price of 30 euros.

And now Fu Diao's minimum ticket price can reach 30 euros, which is enough to make countless people envious and envious to the point that their teeth are sore.

Obviously, everyone is the same person, why is your ticket price so expensive?

Just because you have a lot of fans, so many fans want to buy your tickets?

Well, this seems to be, and I can't refute it.

Fu Tune has finally made a name for himself in the world classical music circle and has become a decent top pianist.

It's just that his 2017 concert tour is still not arranged.

According to the news given to him by his agent before, Fu Tiao came to the Deutsche Grammophone Company, knocked on the door gently, opened the door, and greeted the two people inside casually.

"Morning, the weather is nice today, do you want to have a drink or two tonight? The beer bar downstairs from my house is very nice and has a strong apple aroma in the mouth. ”

"Good morning, Fu!"

The agent also smiled and waved at Fu Diao, pointed to the sofa next to him and bowed slightly.

"Come, sit, let's talk about your concert next year and your arrangements for other festivals, as for beer...... Are you free tonight? I've been brewing my own beer in a house in the suburbs lately just enough to eat, so come to my house tonight and we'll have a barbecue party if you want! I haven't eaten a barbecue in a long time! ”

"Really? That's great. ”

Fu Xuan grinned and sat on the sofa opposite his agent, his body extremely relaxed.

As he attended more concerts and festivals, and more interviews with him, Fu adjusted his personal momentum also changed.

To put it simply, his whole person has become more confident and indifferent.

He asked the agent.

"Is there anything wrong with next year's festival?"

"Actually, it's not a big problem, the Ruhr Piano Festival has sent us a new invitation, and they hope that you can go over to the festival next year, after all, you are the best newcomer of the year at this year's Ruhr Piano Festival, if you don't go next year, they are a little bit unpleasant."

"Yes."

Fu Tune nodded: "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, they are mainly concentrated in the summer, and there are many music festivals in the summer, but many of them are thinking about it, because although you are more famous now, but because of the schedule on their side, they can't put you in the best time, either slightly ahead or slightly behind, so we are still thinking about it, such as the Lucerne Festival, the Baden-Baden Festival, the London Festival, the Berlin Festival, etc."

The agent quickly read the list of all the invitations submitted to him, and he was a little helpless when he looked at the list above.

"From April to September next year, you will probably need to run a dozen or so music festivals, about two a month, although it is relatively small, but it is much more than this year, and if your performance is even better, there may be other music festivals that will continue to submit applications for us."

"Well, are there anything else? For example...... Salzburg Music Festival? ”

Fu Tiao smiled at the agent and asked, "Is there any news from them?" ”

"Actually, the Salzburg Festival would like to invite you again, and your piano quartet team will perform again, and at the same time you will also have an invitation to a solo concert, but because the rights of other people are not on my side, and the price is not particularly high, so we are still talking."

The agent shrugged slightly, took out the document in his hand, and handed it to Fu Tuo.

"This is the music festival arrangement process that has been set at present, and on the whole it is relatively relaxed, after all, you are also a newcomer who has just debuted this year, even if you debut for two full years next year, your overall popularity and honor are still slightly inferior to other pianists, so these music festivals are still reserved."

"Hmm." Fu Tiao took the document in the agent's hand and looked at it.

Many of the festivals are among the best in the world, and these festivals have a relatively conservative schedule, which is biased towards the beginning or the end.

It's not that these times are bad, after all, music festivals are a long-lasting event.

It's just that these times are not paid enough attention compared to the time in the middle, as well as the performance of the opening and closing ceremonies.

But this is not to blame the organizing committee for being too stingy.

There are many top pianists in the world now, and there are also some top pianists among the top pianists.

Pollini, who couldn't make it last year, is ready to play again.

His son recovered a little bit, and after confirming that his son was fine, Pollini discussed with his agent and won a lot of good positions.

It's not just him, but also Argerich, Lang Liangyue, and they're the same.

There is no way to compare this, their reputation is placed in this place, and you can't compare at all.

People have been playing for decades, and their platform is stable, how can you just overturn it by someone who has only been playing for more than a year?

It's completely impossible, okay!

Therefore, Fu Tiao didn't care much about it.

Being invited to the festival is a testament to his fame and strength, and as for the rest...... It doesn't matter.

The agent on the side continued while looking at the documents in his hand.

"There's nothing else, but when we get to January, remember to go to Hamburg."

"Hamburg? What's wrong with Hamburg? ”

"The Elbe Concert Hall in Hamburg has finally been completed, and it will open for the first time on January 10 next year, and the organizing committee invited you to participate to see how their concert hall is prepared, and then there is another point, which is to discuss with you, and then you will play in the Elbe Concert Hall, after all, that place is a new surface, and many people want to go to that place to play, which is worth your attention."

After flipping through the pages of the document in his hand, he asked Fu Tiao.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot, do you want to go to the Vienna New Year's Concert on January 1st? We still have a few tickets here, so you can tell me if you want to go, this year's conductor is a bit powerful. ”

"Who?"

"Gustavo Dudamel, a very young conductor, is now coming out to be at the helm of the Vienna New Year's Concert this year, this man is very strong, he will also be the youngest conductor of the Vienna New Year's Concert, there is no one."

"I ...... Did I have any gigs during that period? ”

"Probably not, I don't think so, you can rest at the beginning of this year, just so you can go and tidy up your music, I remember that your teacher seems to have been looking for you recently, right?"

"Well, I've been learning some new works with him lately."

Fu got up and brought a cup of coffee from the side, and said as he drank it.

"Overall, it's okay, I'm studying, and I should be able to use it as a staple this year."

"That's good, it's good."

The agent nodded, not paying attention.

After all, he is just an agent, not Fu Diao's teacher or something.

He is only responsible for Fu Tune's performance, and as for who Fu Tune studied with and what he learned, he didn't care at all, and he wouldn't care.

He looked at the document in his hand, suddenly remembered something, and asked Fu Diao.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot, there is an invitation for you to perform at that place, saying if you can add them to your next world tour, we have contact with their concert hall in Tokyo and the concert hall in Osaka, if you want, then you can try to communicate."

He couldn't help but laugh at the sight of this place.

"After all, the level and strength of the musicians over there in Dongying are really good, I heard that Ozawa Zenger has not been in good health recently, and when he communicated with us before, he said that he wanted to talk to you, because you are a new generation of musicians, and he is very curious about you."

"The ...... of the tour over there"

Fu Tiao groped his chin and nodded slowly.

"You can go, but what about the price?"

"The price will definitely be higher than other places, a concert is about a few million yen, which is a lot of money, and at the same time, they also said that they can book your air ticket or hotel, after all, they are the inviter, so if you want to go, you can talk to me."

"Okay, I'll think about it again."

Fu Tiao did not give an immediate answer.

After all, going to Dongying is not a trivial matter.

This is equivalent to expanding the territory.

His main box office now is in Europe and Huaguo, there is nothing to say in Huaguo, he is similar to Lang Liangyue, basically in that place, as long as the performance will be a large number of people come to listen.

But on the European side, although Lang Liangyue may not really want to admit it.

Fu Tiao's influence is now a little greater than his.

For Europeans, Fu Tune can basically be regarded as a pianist who came purely from the European side.

In addition, he has never been to the beautiful country to perform.

Therefore, many Europeans who don't particularly like beautiful countries will have a stronger affection for Fu Tune.

This pianist, like me, doesn't like pretty pianos! All right!

Since he doesn't want the ticket office of the beautiful country, then I have to support him!

This is also the main reason why Fu Diao's influence is greater than that of Lang Liangyue in Europe.

But this is not the reason why Fu Diao did not go to the beautiful country.

The reason why Fu Tiao didn't go to the beautiful country was not that he didn't want to go, but that the company here at Deutsche Grammophone didn't want him to go to the beautiful country.

In addition to the other messy reasons, the main reason is that the beautiful country is the territory of the world.

Although Deutsche Grammophon AG is now considered a subsidiary of Universal, its overall operations are independent.

They wanted Fu to be a pure phonograph pianist rather than a global pianist.

So in the face of the ticket warehouse on the side of the beautiful country, they were not very happy to let Fu transfer over.

Especially when the ticket warehouse on the beautiful country side was occupied by Lang Liangyue and Wang Jia.

For Fu Tiao to play in a beautiful country now, he not only needs to face Wang Jia and Lang Liangyue head-on, but also needs to face his own fans who fell in love with him because of his European performances.

Under all these circumstances, the Deutsche Grammophone Company has not discussed the matter of the beautiful country with Fu Tiao.

And Dongying's side is not Universal's territory, but Sony's territory.

As for Sony, although they are in competition with Universal, they are not in competition with Deutsche Grammophone.

Therefore, there is no particularly big problem in letting Fu Tuo pass.

He didn't talk to Fu Tune about these things.

Naturally, Fu Tune is not very clear.

Fu Tiao sipped his coffee indifferently and looked at next year's performance arrangement, without showing any expression on his face.

After a long time, he nodded slowly.

"Okay, let's basically continue like this, when is my world tour?"

"At the end of 2017, we set the time from the end of 2017 to 2018, and you will still be touring in Europe during these times in 2017, and at the beginning of 2018, our plan is to go to Asia, East Asia and Southeast Asia, as for the middle of 2018, it depends on your choice."

"Your own choice?"

"Well, we can help you find some music festivals in beautiful countries to participate in, and then tour in beautiful countries by the way, or go back to Europe to continue playing, and then go to beautiful countries when the time is almost right."

"Hmmm......"

Fu Tiao groped his chin for a long time and nodded slowly.

"Let's go back and connect with the music festival in the beautiful country."

"Okay, I'll do it, don't worry, I'll send it to you in pdf form when all the plans come out."

The agent quickly packed his luggage, and then suddenly thought of something, and stretched out his hand to Fu Diao.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot."

"Huh? What's up? ”

"It's that your personal page is already online, and you can look back and see for yourself."

The agent got up and stretched his body, and smiled at Fu Xuan.

"You can directly see your future performance process and the honors you have received now, and you can even buy tickets through your official website, which is very convenient, just below the sub-page of our Deutsche Grammophone artist list."

"Huh? So good? Fu Diao was a little incredulous for a while: "I opened a personal page under the company's page?" ”

"After all, your fans have been telling us, saying that they want your personal page to buy tickets, they haven't been able to buy your tickets, it's a headache or something, no way, we can only make a page for you, if you have any personal elements you want to add, you can tell us, we will go back and find an artist to help you add it."

"Okay."

Fu Tiao nodded, casually glanced at the website address given to him by the agent, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, basically that's fine."

"It's good that there's no problem, so if you come to me again if you have anything else, I won't send it?"

"Okay."

Fu Tiao nodded, just about to leave, then suddenly remembered something, turned his head to the agent and asked.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot, will you be here for the signing ceremony tomorrow night?"

"The signing ceremony with the Berliner Philharmoniker."
