Chapter 95 Joint commemorative album (4K two-in-one)
The popular theme and sonorous rhythm of "Radetzky March" instantly captured the emotions of all the audience.
After the first four small rhythms of the main part of the music were completed, Fan Ning made an astonishing move.
He directly put away his baton and stepped off the podium.
"What's going on? Have you put away the baton?"
"Why doesn't he swing anymore?"
Seeing the conductor standing down, his bare hand gestures almost invisible, about four-fifths of the fans were stunned for a few seconds.
Here in Kaplan, Fan Ning originally gave him a task that seemed a bit strange to him.
——During the last song of the encore, when Fan Ning got off the podium and the music finished eight bars, if the audience was still relatively quiet, he would lead ten other students in charge of administration to clap together.
So as soon as the music started, his whole body tensed up very nervously, like a percussionist waiting to enter the stage, counting the beats cautiously.
But as he counted, he realized that his nervous state was completely unnecessary.
Fan Ning left the stage after the fourth quarter, and then in the sixth quarter, the "DNA" that belongs to human nature moved in the bones of a small number of listeners.
They couldn't help but clap their hands to the beat of the music itself!
The mighty and majestic march marched forward with pride, and more and more listeners were infected and inspired, and joined the ranks of clapping.
"I take back what I just said." McAdam also clapped his hands, but shook his head with a smile.
The Marquise sighed and said: "This young composer cannot use common sense to guess his inspiration. We have never guessed it correctly before at the condolence event for the poet Bassani. This is purely a historical reenactment."
Fan Ning gradually broke away from the conductor's state, but applauded like an ordinary audience. At the same time, he kept changing sides at the front edge of the stage, communicating with the audience with smiling eyes, and encouraging them to participate, only in a few places.
The places where the sections are connected, as well as the segments where the rhythm changes slightly in the middle, give the necessary hints for the part to enter.
"This sense of participation is really deeply rooted in people's hearts! I will probably never forget it throughout the year!"
"How on earth am I going to share today's joy with others? It's too difficult. It's too difficult to tell people who haven't experienced it live."
Everyone clapped their hands happily to celebrate the finale of the concert, and more and more feelings about the music itself emerged from their hearts.
"It's over, what is in Mr. Fanning's mind? I think I have been brainwashed by the melody of this song." Someone not only clapped their hands, but also hummed along when the theme material was repeated for the second time.
"I wonder if the encore will be recorded on the record?" someone asked the companion next to him.
"You'll have to pay more." My companion said without hesitation, keeping in tune with the beat, "I guess I'll have to pay more. It's really not easy to hear a live performance. I have never been so grateful for the invention of recording technology as I am today."
The interaction of "Radetzky March" finally brought tonight's concert to a successful conclusion. The applause was still warm, but it seemed to have some other meaning at this time - the fans not only sent their applause to
For the musicians, it is also for those who participate, and for all the music lovers present.
The students on the stage finally breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other with smiles praising each other in their eyes.
The nearly two hours of hard work finally ended, and everyone performed very well. This is undoubtedly an unforgettable experience in the art career. Moreover, the task is completed. Next, before the start of school, it is purely about enjoying the joy and distributing the "trophies".
It's time.
But not everyone's mission has ended successfully. For example, Fan Ning and Sheeran are destined to have a fierce battle tonight.
That's record pre-sale.
Although Fan Ning created this concert based on the principle of "full sincerity", since this is a commercial performance, his motive is definitely not to provide benefits or do charity.
First, I took out this violin concerto, and then arranged three consecutive Viennese "hot" works from the previous life for the encore, all for the purpose of being the highlight of the meeting.
Perhaps it would be better to wait until the New Year's concert or a more important occasion to show the effect, but waiting later is unrealistic, and it is relatively easy to achieve the effect of the works of Strauss and his son. It is important to gain fame first.
"I hope this wave can make back the band's expenses in the first month or two, otherwise I will really have to go to the pillars..."
The high salary conditions of my future symphony orchestra, the expensive purchase of musical instruments, the black hole of operating expenses of Turner Hall...the end of it all has not yet been reached.
He believes that after these rounds of operations, the market value and popularity of records should have increased again.
The selling price can always be a little more than expected, a little more, right?
Although Fan Ning had all kinds of money-making intentions in his heart, he still had an elegant smile on his face. Before his last round of curtain calls ended and the audience had not left the venue, Kaplan followed the prearranged arrangements.
Run onto the stage.
He was also wearing a black tuxedo, but at this moment he was waving his arms, with a hint of hospitality in his elegant smile, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Mr. Fanning's conductor assistant Capron. According to the arrangements previously announced,
"The next step is the pre-sale of live recordings of this concert. Everyone leaves the venue normally and you can see the service desk in the navigation hall where you came in before."
With his movements and voice, the originally boiling sound in the symphony hall gradually calmed down to a state close to the performance. Everyone's eyes were also focused on Kaplan. At this time, he emphasized: "Friends present should
Most of them have heard of the radio station, and yes, we will fulfill the promised preferential policies. You can enjoy a 20% discount with the premium ticket stub, and it will also come with the autographs of the composer and the violinist on the album cover."
"Conductor Fan Ning's operational ideas are really...as unpredictable as his compositional inspiration..."
Several officials from the cultural department in the audience, including Minister Noel, knew about Fan Ning's action on the radio before, but now that it was announced from Kaplan's mouth, they still looked at each other with weird meanings.
See.
For people in the old industrial era, although capital has entered various major market areas, and commercial activities such as advertising, endorsements, and promotions have also appeared, this level of gameplay in the cultural and art industry still touches their cognitive blind spots.
The request report was sent from the National Concert Hall to the Arts Festival Committee, and they naturally agreed to the relevant arrangements. This was not a question of whether the rules and policies allowed it, but that the relevant keywords could not be found in the relevant regulations of the empire.
It can only be considered that in the commercial performance contract, "Party A has the obligation to cooperate with Party B in publicity and arrangements related to the performance." Faced with the orchestra conductor's proposal, which has exploded at the box office, no one will object.
For other music fans, hearing these words is a completely different feeling.
Although they had listened to the radio announcement, they only now noticed its special details:
sign!
Miss Sheeran's signature!
Or a joint signature with the conductor and composer!
!
Originally, things like idol autographs, even in the modern society of Fan Ning's previous life, were something that countless fans chased after. But the more critical thing in this old industrial era is: there are no network resources!
Regardless of whether you like the market or the serious style, if you can't listen to music for a long time, people will really wither. But being able to listen to music is a luxury thing. It cannot be done anywhere or at any time. Professional-level concerts must be in a relatively large venue.
Cities can only be enjoyed at a high price.
Sociologists or historians in various periods of the world have different visions for the future ideal country, but they all have a common characteristic of happiness: as long as they are willing and pick up a certain tool, people can listen to music anytime and anywhere.
A musician or a group of musicians perform for themselves the masterpieces of masters.
The sprouting of the record industry in recent years has given everyone a glimmer of hope. However, both the high price of the gramophone and the expense of the records themselves have determined that this is at least a purchase that the middle class can consider. It can only be said that it changes listening to music from "
"Luxury" has become "light luxury".
The high price of purchase and maintenance, the large and bulky appearance, and the sophisticated mechanical structure... This still makes listening to music strongly branded as "physical support". In this case, music fans are not interested in the "performer" on the record.
Things like "signature" have a more indescribable urge to chase.
The artists on the stage retreated to the cast aisle, the staff went up to clean the music stands and large musical instruments, and the fans in the audience also began to leave one after another.
But it was obvious that Capron's reminder made the music fans lining up to go out have different thoughts.
The ones with the simplest thoughts were the more than 200 audience members who held the ticket stubs. They were originally planning to buy the record. The discounted price they saved was secondary, and signing autographs was the most important thing.
Records have been sold for a round today, and they will continue to be sold in the future. As a historical record of tonight's performance, there will definitely be more and more records circulating around the world.
However, the number of signed records in circulation is determined by the stub of the VIP ticket. As expected, it is already fixed, and there are only so many.
Full deal, exclusive tickets for rows 6-12, 40 seats per row, 280 copies! This is the first recording and release of two talented conductors and violinists. It has great commemorative significance and future collection value... It’s hard to say!
The most common scene is a social gathering or music salon held at home. When the gramophone is turned on, the red wine is poured, and the records are opened, they point to the signature on the cover and brag to the guests: "I was sitting in front of the concert at that time.
, my own applause was recorded.” The right to speak on the tour was obtained at once.
So for them, just buy it and that’s it!
The ones with slightly more complicated thoughts are those who bought the cheapest seats, such as 3 pounds and 6 pounds. Although they feel very itchy at the moment, they can consider "whether to buy" as an independent event. As for autographs and souvenirs, things like collection value...
.My initial consumption budget was not so high, and there was nothing I could do about it. The most important thing was that I could take the record back and play it back.
Those who have the most complicated feelings are definitely those who bought the mid-price range, especially the 12-pound range.
9 pounds and 12 pounds are the two seats with the largest ticket prices.
If I had known better, I would have thought about buying a record later, but I bought it in a second-class area! Those who sat in the VIP seats and enjoyed the best sound effects not only saved the price difference, but also earned an autograph for free... This is really
So fucking stupid!
Should I buy it or not?
"Sorry ladies and gentlemen, there is one more thing I forgot to mention."
Just as some of the audience members were having a fierce battle in their hearts, Kaplan trotted out of the passage again.
He said breathlessly: "The three encore tracks have also been recorded. Please feel free to buy the record."
And he repeated it three times in a row at the top of his lungs.
The sound echoed throughout the symphony hall, so the audience who had not yet left the house in line turned around, and those who had already come out but had not gone far also turned around when they heard the sound.
Their reactions were clearly polarized:
“…the record has three encores! That’s great!”
"...Damn it, there are actually three encore tracks on the record!?"
Some people are cheering inwardly, but some people are depressed.
I want to order this record, okay? But... I really want it co-signed too!
"Excuse me, friend, do you still need your distinguished guest ticket stub? If you do, I can reimburse you the original price of the ticket. How about listening to a concert for free?" Among the people who were heading to the guide hall one after another, one of the people holding the ticket under his arm
The young man wearing a top hat asked the middle-aged gentleman next to him.
tomato
The latter didn't stop and looked at him with an expression that looked like he was a fool.
The crystal chandeliers in the spacious guidance hall are fully turned on. The staff have surrounded several functional areas with a pile of long tables, and have used warning pillars to pull up ribbons to separate the movement of the audience.
According to the preliminary plan, a total of four queuing gates were set up. The person in charge of reception at the front was Kaplan, three salesmen sent by Hoffman Records Publishing Company, and a group of auxiliary staff at the back.
The audience who came forward can leave from the other end of the moving line after paying, invoicing, registering personal information, receiving packaging covers and delivery receipts, and the signature position is also placed at the last step of the moving line.
The first audience to come out had already reached the guide hall, four lines began to form, and the pre-sale information was passed on.
The price of 30 pounds per piece before the discount is actually close to the average price of today's well-known professional symphony orchestra records. However, because the repertoire is so good and the conductor and violin are so popular, most people think that this price is sincere.
Even some fans who thought it was 5 or 10 pounds more expensive than expected were immediately relieved when they thought that three new encore tracks were also included.
"I'll pre-order one." A lady in a gorgeous dress came forward.
"Wait a minute." The staff of the record company concentrated on registering the basic information, tore off the copy of the copy paper and handed it over. "Please move back and pay and invoice there. She will give you a delivery receipt and record cover."
"The receipt card states how to collect it. It is expected to take half a month. You can choose the sales point of Hoffmann Records nationwide or the cooperation point of the National Concert Hall." The cashier put the card into a delicately packaged plastic box and handed it over.
In her hands.
"This packaging design... I really like it..." The lady's eyes lit up as soon as she got it.
The cover material was shot live by the record company in the rehearsal hall of the University of St. Lenia, and the timing of the capture happened to be the solo cadenza of the opening section of the "Violin Concerto in E minor".
Sheeran, in a white dress, was dancing with her bow and strings. Fan Ning on the podium looked at her with a smile, but the baton in his hand had already given instructions in another direction - the band, which had been silent for a long time, was about to reappear the theme and perform "
Looking forward to the long-awaited reunion.”
On the cover, only the upper bodies of the two people are cut off, and the background is molded. The musicians, music stands and musical instruments can be vaguely seen in the background. Coupled with the artistic poster-style large and small fonts and frames, everything is just right and beautiful.
and moved.
With a slight excitement, this lady walked to the last area of the moving line. There were more than a dozen staff members standing there. In front of them were young men and women wearing black tuxedos and pure white evening dresses sitting side by side in front of the benches.
.
"Please sit down." Fan Ning's voice was gentle and smiling.
"Evening...Good evening, Mr. Conductor...and Miss Violin..." This music fan had been full of excitement before, but when he actually arrived, he was too nervous and said an inappropriate greeting.
The cover in her hand was taken, and there was a scraping sound. The two of them signed their names under their respective heads in the photo, and the scrawled and elegant handwriting were intertwined: "Carolne Van Ning" "
