Chapter 193 Jazz turmoil gathers in Paris

Nick looked at this piece of news and didn't know what to say. Although he had never heard Fu Tiao's performance, his interest had been completely aroused by what Andre wrote. He was really curious about this person who was being played by his colleagues.

What kind of character is the person who is said to be closest to the God of Jazz?

What exactly is contained in his music?

All this made him extremely curious, and he wanted to go to Europe immediately to listen to Fu Tiao's performance.

only……

After he put the magazine in Bruce's hand, he picked up his mobile phone and continued to check Fu Tiao's information to see if the follow-up progress of Fu Tiao's concert had been made public.

As a result, just as Bruce said before, Fu Tiao's concert tickets have been completely sold out, and there are no extra tickets left on the market.

If you want to buy tickets for Fu Tiao, then you have no choice but to go to scalpers and charge them at a high price.

There's just one problem, that is...

There are not many scalpers who have tickets for Fu Diao now, and almost all the tickets are in the hands of the audience.

If scalpers don't sell tickets for pop stars, why do they sell tickets for classical music? Are they for display at home?

Almost everyone who has Fu Tiao tickets now is an audience who wants to attend Fu Tiao's concert. Who would be willing to sell their tickets at the original price?

Even if they suddenly find that Fu Tiao's concert is not consistent with their time, and they do not have enough time to listen to Fu Tiao's concert, they are unlikely to pay a high price. Instead, they will give priority to their friends and ask them.

If you want Fu Tiao's tickets, try to sell them internally.

If it cannot be digested internally, it will fall to the outside and be bought by others at a high price.

This also makes the price of live tickets for Fu Tiao's concerts remain high, making it difficult for you to buy suitable tickets to listen to Fu Tiao's concerts.

Nick looked at his cell phone. After hesitating for a long time, he finally made a call. According to what Bruce said, he was going to find his manager at Universal Music and ask him if there was any news about Fu Tiao.

.

After all, according to normal terms, Deutsche Grammophon is a company under Universal Music. In any case, there is no problem if the parent company wants to get some tickets for its artists, right?

However, he was still disappointed.

"What? No tickets? Can't you guys get one?"

When he called and said his first sentence, the agent on the other side seemed to have guessed his thoughts and said directly: "Yes, there are no tickets. Someone came over and asked me just before you."

I have also asked people at Universal about this matter, and I even went to Deutsche Grammophon to ask about the situation. Their attitude is very obvious, that is, there are no tickets, no matter what you say.

, but there are no more votes.”

"But, isn't Fu Tiao an artist in their company? Even so, they didn't keep the tickets in the company to give some people who want to go to the Dior concert a chance? Even other popular artists would do the same

Bar?"

"You are right, but they can only reserve a dozen tickets. Guess when these tickets will be gone?"

The manager sounded very helpless and explained to Nick: "Currently, of the 8 concerts that Dior has launched, except for the 3 that ended, the remaining 5 have long been sold out. These concerts are basically all sold out.

There are six to seven hundred, seven to eight hundred seats. It’s pretty good that they can keep a dozen or so tickets. These friendship tickets have long been given away, so where can you get them? But..."

"But what?" Nick asked.

"However, of the 12 concerts originally planned by Dior, tickets for the last four have not yet started to be purchased. We can talk to Deutsche Grammophon about this and see what their thoughts are.

Let’s see if we can get tickets in advance. According to my understanding of them, they should issue new tickets soon, and the price should be the same as that of a normal master concert.”

The agent's words were very calm. He thought about it and said to Nick: "But let me tell you in advance that we may not be able to get the subsequent tickets. You have no idea how popular Fu Diao is now. Over there at Deutsche Grammophon

It is certainly impossible for us internal staff to withhold a large number of tickets and store them for us to use. They may only withhold about 5% of the tickets, maybe only twenty or thirty tickets, and the rest must be directly

If your hand speed is okay, I suggest you grab Fu Diao's ticket yourself instead of waiting here silently."

"Okay, I get it, I'll give it a try, thank you very much."

Nick nodded slowly when he heard this, hung up the phone call from his agent, and fell into deep thought.

He had no idea that Fu Diao's tickets could be sold so hotly. Even insiders had almost no way to get Fu Diao's tickets.

As for the twenty or thirty concert tickets the manager just mentioned, he actually didn't expect it.

Because he is not an important person in Universal Music Company. There are a lot of people in the company who are more important than him. These tickets must be given priority to those big people. After those big people allocate all the tickets, if

The rest will be given to ordinary artists like them.

But he didn't expect Fu Tiao to be so popular.

He looked at his phone and couldn't help but start to get entangled.

How about... just go find someone you know who studies computer science, ask him to help you write a crawler software, help you crawl the company's data, and when Fu Tiao decides to sell concert tickets, grab the tickets immediately?

Although it is said that you either owe someone a favor or you need to spend a lot of money, if you can really get a ticket from Fu Tiao, it is not really a special loss.

Especially compared to buying tickets directly from scalpers.

Thinking of all this, Nick quickly returned to his teaching and research room, lost in thought, thinking about how he could go to listen to Fu's music live.

After all, as long as he thinks about what Andre just said, pure classical chords showing beautiful classical jazz, he can't help but be curious.

A pianist who can be recognized by a jazz teacher and whose manuscripts are also recognized by reviewers, he is really, very curious about what the music in the hands of such a pianist is like.

As for finding Fu Tiao's videos online...

He didn't intend to do this.

In addition to the fact that the sound quality online is not as good as live music and you can easily lose some details, he also hopes to retain a little sense of mystery.

Only with a sense of mystery can he think about what Fu Diao's music represents to the greatest extent.

This man named Andre, how much boasting does he have about Fu Tiao's music?

…

Not only Nick, but also many other people in North America have noticed this news and the discussion about Fu Tiao.

For example, Mr. Kapustin had already boarded a flight from North America to Paris. He was sitting in his first-class seat, looking at the magazine in his hand, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

This magazine was carried with him by his students. Thinking that he had nothing to do, he picked it up and took a look. He was flipping through the contents of classical music and jazz music, and happened to find the contents about Fu Diao.

After his student came back from the bathroom, he thought for a while and asked with a smile: "Have you heard of Fu Diao?"

"Fu, Dior?" The student was obviously stunned for a moment. He raised his head and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly to Mr. Kapustin: "I seem to have heard his name before. He seems to be the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

, I have followed his information before, and if I remember correctly, it seems that he has just finished his recent tour in Brussels and is preparing to rush to Paris to continue his touring career."

Speaking of this place, the student couldn't help but froze, and hesitantly said: "Well, it seems that the time of his concert should be about the same time as the music exchange meeting we went to Paris, probably a few days after us.

Looks like..."

"Haha, that's good. Maybe we can still see his shadow on the streets of Paris. This might be considered a chance encounter, a romantic encounter in a romantic city. Unfortunately, I am already an old man.

If I were a young woman, it would be even more perfect."

Kapustin couldn't help laughing and returned the magazine in his hand to his student without continuing the topic.

After all, Fu Diao may not be heading in the same direction as him. Now this person is praising Fu Diao, saying that he is the person closest to the jazz god. That is just a compliment, and it is very obvious from his students.

reached a conclusion.

Even now, Fu Tiao still belongs to the category of classical pianist. He is not only very good at classical performance, but he can also play some jazz, and he also plays jazz well, that's all.

However, he also developed some interest in Fu Diao.

He found this person very interesting.

According to normal logic, it is actually best for Fu Tiao to continue on the path of classical music. You must know that the path of a classical music pianist is much wider than that of a jazz pianist, and the threshold is much higher.

If you can go down the path of being a classical music pianist, then how great it would be to continue to pursue classical music. Why compete with jazz people like them for positions? Why bother? Why bother?

If his level and strength can compete with those great masters, he actually wants to continue to study in classical music and become a top classical music composer.

Although he may be placed among twentieth-century composers according to chronological order, in the end he is still a relatively classical composer, not a jazz composer as many people say.

Of course, this is what he thinks, not other people's thoughts.

You must know that although Kapustin's concert collection is called concert etudes, most people play his works as jazz.

How can such a composer, whose almost all works are jazz, be called a classical pianist instead of a jazz pianist?

Watching the plane begin to taxi and head towards Paris, he gradually let down his guard and stared out the window in a daze for the time being.

"I hope this exchange will be interesting..."

…

At the same time, the plane from Tokyo to Paris had also taken off. Sitting in the corner of the first-class cabin, a woman wrapped in a blanket looked at the dark night outside the window in a daze.

She is Hiromi Ishihara.

Although many people outside have been promoting her as a very selfish woman who has extremely strict requirements for music and pays special attention to self-expression, but she is actually relatively calm or indifferent when she is alone in the room.

That kind of person.

She likes to immerse herself in her own world and doesn't like to communicate too much with the outside world.

Even those messy movements in music, known as Lang Liangyue in the jazz world, she just played according to her own mood, rather than deliberately designing the movements.
