The audience in the audience had only listened to the performance of "Flight of the Bumblebee" for about 20 seconds, and they had already entered that strange state of tension, but then an "untimely" shout suddenly came from the stage.
Even though it was the encore moment, when someone suddenly shouted loudly during a symphony performance, the audience was undoubtedly a little confused for a moment, and they followed the source of the sound with doubtful eyes.
"That is?…"
"Mr. Capron? The baritone who just sang the Fantasia?"
"If I remember correctly, this gentleman is the permanent conductor of the old symphony orchestra, right?"
Although Capron works behind the scenes most of the time, as the second-ranking figure in the orchestra, he left a deep impression on everyone on the stage today. There are still many people who know him.
The fans looked at each other a little bit.
"Surprise? What is a surprise?" Viadlin, whose mind was filled with memories of "The Bell" just now, touched his forehead in confusion.
The band's performance of "Flight of the Bumblebee" continued, with various musical instruments competing to present a dramatic musical image, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of tension and a bit of joking.
"Rumble, rumble—"
Suddenly a deep voice came from the side of the stage.
The sound was noisy and messy, and it wasn't on point. It didn't seem to come from any percussion instrument.
"What is this stuff?"
From the aisles on both sides of the stage, Fan Ning and three other staff members pushed out two small wooden carts, which contained colorful paper balls that were slightly larger than basketballs.
"Gift, this is a gift! New Year's gift!!" Kaplan explained with a smile on his face.
While the music was playing, he directly picked up a red "large paper basketball" and threw it directly into the sky above the audience!
"New Year's gift? Are there any gifts tonight?" More than a dozen dignitaries from the cultural department and many distinguished guests from high society were stunned by Fan Ning's endless tricks.
After the red paper ball was thrown from Kaplan's hand, Fan Ning summoned a strong but short invisible force and slammed it further in the direction.
So the audience stared at it as it flew all the way to the highest point close to the crystal chandelier.
At an invisible place in the center of the sphere, the capsule containing the "ember" phase radiant spiritual liquid burst, and a certain micro-curse seal in the special structure was activated, so it seemed that a compressed storm air flow was released from the clamp——
"boom!!!"
The outer paper shell cracked and disintegrated, and a large ball of colorful or gold and silver card-like things appeared, followed by more decorative petals and colored paper exploding from the air, flying and falling one after another!
The old symphony orchestra on the stage was still playing "Flight of the Bumblebee". The audience's hair stood on end due to the nervous and strange sound waves, as if a bee was about to sting them, and their backs couldn't help but contract one after another.
In this state, they subconsciously raised their hands and grabbed one of the cards scattered above their heads.
"Huh? One pound?"
A teenage citizen held a lightweight white card in his hand and his eyes widened.
"Hey...this is a real banknote! A New Year's gift worth 1 pound!" He ripped off the slightly stuck banknotes directly.
"When you wake up tomorrow morning, your happiness will be as warm as the winter sun."
Then a New Year's greeting appeared below, with a gilt signature in Mr. Kaplan's signature format.
"Two pounds?...Where did this kid Caron come from with so many crazy ideas..." Viadlin stretched out his fingers to hold a purple card, and peeled off the brand-new banknotes with the fragrance of ink on them. When he looked at
When the sincere New Year's greetings were gilded and signed by the Marquess of MacAdam, the smile on her face froze, and her expression suddenly became weird.
"I reluctantly believe that it is difficult to say that this situation was intentional on your part..." He looked up at the ceiling of the hall, where all kinds of cards were still flying in the air.
The explosion of this big red paper ball was just the beginning. Soon, several other paper balls of different colors were thrown out in different directions by the staff.
Under the auxiliary impact of Fan Ning's "Key" invisible force, some of them flew further into the air directly in front of them, some flew to both sides, and some exploded in the air in front of the boxes on the second and third floors.
, the wind of "Jin"'s curse blew it towards the audience at a high place.
"Five pounds?" Director Humphrey at the distinguished guest seat flicked the crisp banknotes in disbelief, and then read the text on the back, "Oh, look, New Year's greetings from Mr. Fanning."
"1 pound, 1 pound, 1 pound...10...10 pounds!?" In a seat at the back, a girl with a round face and short hair grabbed six or seven cards one after another. She counted the cards with banknotes in them and suddenly exclaimed, "I
Isn’t it the highest price in the whole venue? 13 pounds, my God, the ticket I bought was only 12 pounds!”
"Ahhh! I received greetings and blessings from Miss Sheeran!!" The young man wearing glasses in the box grabbed five bills in a row without any money, but at a certain moment he suddenly beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying "Ah, I'm dead."
expression.
"Bang!——" "Bang!——" "Bang bang bang!——"
Under the instruction of the conductor, the orchestra inadvertently started its second repetition. The muted string instruments playing the chromatic scale were vibrating around the ears of the audience like a swarm of bees. The woodwinds surrounded the high and low ranges, dotted with skips of thirds, and occasionally
There were one or two sounds of copper pipes entering and stumbling out in a dull manner, adding a sense of humor to the scene, while the various colored paper balls that were thrown exploded in the air one after another.
"Please accept our New Year's greetings!" Kaplan held up his hands like trumpets, raised his head and shouted loudly. He stepped back repeatedly while shouting, "Surprise! Gift! In the encore! In the form of a lottery!"
Amidst the music of "Flight of the Bumblebee", a colorful rain fell in the symphony hall.
After Fan Ning customized and purchased card bases with different contents, he asked staff from the administration department and comprehensive operations department to group up, and led the employees for several nights to rush out nearly 20,000 New Year greeting cards, which were then compressed into two small trucks.
Of course, a few small extraordinary tricks were added to the paper ball...
Four-fifths of them are pure blessings signed by random musicians, but the remaining one-fifth is a very meaningful "New Year gift" in the "lottery".
The simplest and crudest form is to stick banknotes directly on the blessing words: 1 pound, 2 pounds, a small amount of 5 pounds, and a very small amount of 10 pounds. Of course, those listeners whose imagination is limited to this are obviously interested in this musician.
I still don’t know enough about the director’s style——
"Ticket for coffee break at Turner Hall?" A lady dressed up in attendance repeatedly checked the exquisite words under the blessing on the fourth card. "With this card, you can enter any concert in the year 914 of the new calendar."
You can enter the coffee break area once during the game break, and you can bring one companion with you."
A mysterious and high-end special symbol permeates the card texture behind the font.
"A priceless social or dating tool!" She covered her mouth with one hand, her shawl slipping to the floor.
"And... you can actually bring a companion with you. Oh my god, this is so decent!"
The concert coffee break area of Turner Art Hall is not accessible for xx pounds per person! She has read several media reports on visits to the coffee break sites of the ten concerts in the opening season. The service there is extremely distinguished, and the layout is
Art decorations are extremely expensive, and those snacks and drinks are said to be delicious and expensive... Those who can socialize in the tea break area are VIPs from the art hall, which is simply a pass to the upper class!
"Record pickup card..." Lawyer Monroe rubbed his eyes and quickly scanned the sentence "With this card, you can choose to receive a set of on-sale records issued by Turner Art Hall at any point of sale."
"What a coincidence?" he muttered, "I happened to have a new gramophone at home, but it hasn't arrived yet..."
""30 pound Turner Hall ticket voucher"..."
""50 pound Turner Hall ticket voucher"..."
""100 pound Turner Hall ticket voucher"..."
People are constantly discovering completely unexpected New Year's gifts.
""Sound and Color·Light and Shadow·A Moment of Memories—Exquisite Picture Album and Souvenir Gift Pack for the Impressionism Art Exhibition"."
The audience was completely excited!
The voice of Mr. Capron, the permanent conductor, was indeed right.
What is a fucking surprise?
The festive atmosphere and festive effects are instantly full!
Not only can you receive New Year greeting cards from artists, but also simple and crude banknotes that symbolize good luck, as well as so many high-end, decent and high-end New Year gifts?
Wouldn’t it be 10,000 times more likable than those promotional commercials with gaudy New Year greetings in this city?
Please send more blessings like this!!!
Gentlemen, ladies and children stood in front of their respective seats or in the corridors and grabbed the cards with joy. Although the scene was lively and fiery, order was still maintained. In the folk culture of Theoline, accepting "blessings" or "blessings" that have fallen to the ground
"Gifts" will lose their effectiveness and even bring bad luck. In addition, there are quite a few ladies or elderly people with limited mobility in the audience. Everyone focused their attention on the air. A few people tried to kick the fallen cards with their feet, but found that they seemed to be sticky.
On the floor.
The ratio between the number of cards produced and the number of listeners estimated by Fan Ning is enough to ensure that each person can draw cards and "draw" 5-7 times on average.
"Bang bang!——" "Bang bang!——" The colorful balls are still popping.
Colorful, gold and silver shiny papers of various colors rotate and dance under the reflection of the crystal chandelier, exuding charming colors.
"Invitation to the New Year's Eve dinner at Turner Hall?" Shortly after the last few balls popped, a sudden exclamation came from the crowd, causing the surrounding audience to become quiet and look at him sideways.
A lady turned the card over and over, and the folding fan had already fallen aside.
"Dinner invitation! I received it too!"
"This one is also an invitation! To have a dinner with musicians? Oh my god, this must be a dream!!"
Several different voices came from various places, attracting many envious eyes.
Obviously, the highest-level gift of this "New Year's Lottery" is hidden in the last few colored balls.
When the splendid scene in the symphony hall returned to normal, the last repetition of "Flight of the Bumblebee" stopped, and the audience sat down again while cheering and applauding.
The cheers this time were not only filled with admiration for the artists, but also had a real "excitement of harvest" bonus, especially since quite a few people received gifts that far exceeded the value of the tickets.
"Da da da - da da da -"
Suddenly, the big snare drum and snare drum on the stage played a high-spirited overture.
The band immediately played a majestic, passionate and confident melody with a sonorous and powerful rhythm.
The third encore is Johann Strauss Sr.'s New Year's Concert repertoire "Radetzky March".
The eyes of some of the audience members who had listened to it last time lit up, and those fans who had never experienced it suddenly felt that something was starting to move in their bodies.
After the first four bars of the main part were played, Master Schillings, like Fanning before, stopped his baton and stepped down.
The audience began to clap their hands uncontrollably.
This New Year's concert in the year 914 has probably left unforgettable memories for most of the audience. And for those young audience members, after experiencing such a touching and sublime experience, it will be difficult for them not to become
A "music lover" may change many people's life trajectories because of him.
After several rounds of carnival, the performance came to a successful conclusion, but it was just a performance.
"Fortunate audience members who have received the 'New Year's Eve Dinner Invitation', please bring your family members to the stage to take photos with our artists and distinguished guests." At the end of the show, Kaplan laughed loudly again, "Then, haha you guys
You can consider whether there is any conflict with your original planned itinerary. The dinner is expected to end before 0:30. Of course, maybe the opportunity will come to you during the New Year's Concert next year!"
Giving up the opportunity to have a dinner with several masters on and off stage, a number of outstanding artists, and all the staff of Turner Art Hall. Obviously, as long as something fatal has not happened, no one would be stupid enough to make such a decision.
Moreover, this opportunity can be enjoyed by the whole family!
"Hey, stand still, stand still."
"Mr. Fanning should be in the middle."
"Masters, you go first."
"You guys stand first, I can take my spot wherever I want!"
"Don't block the beautiful ladies behind you..."
"Hurry up, boys and girls in the choir!"
The stance is informal, the time is not too long, and there are not too many so-called status etiquette.
"Click——"
After the large-scale photography equipment was laid out, the photographer pressed the shutter.
"Yeah!" "Happy New Year!!!"
There were more than 80 musicians on the stage, 61 affiliated choir members, conductors, pianists, singers, and more than 60 lucky audience members. The bright smiles of more than 200 people in total were captured on film.
The staff began to dismantle the stage, the music staff recovered the instruments, and the technicians of the Hoffman Records Company also began to dismantle the recording equipment.
"The photos will be distributed to everyone as soon as they are developed. Please move to the glass gallery banquet hall on the north side of the fifth floor after leaving the venue." Fan Ning said loudly.
More than ten minutes later, under the guidance of the staff, everyone climbed up the spiral staircase leading to the fifth floor.
"Caron, let me ask you a question."
Fanning and Kaplan were walking among the crowd and were stopped by Sir Viadrin at the door of the banquet hall.
"President?" He paused in confusion and motioned for Kaplan to enter first.
"Do you know about Vasius?" Viadlin asked casually, not seriously.
Fan Ning thought quickly and then nodded calmly.
"I guess he lost contact? I had contact with He Meng and his team on the opening day. Although they said they were 'still on vacation', I had some premonitions at the time. You know that mysterious incident..."
"That's true. Investigator is a high-risk profession...You don't have any other entanglements, right?"
Fan Ning's heart "thumped".
Why does the president ask this?
"Have you learned anything unexpected?" he asked tentatively.
Viadlin looked out the window at the falling snow.
"There is talk within the Special Patrol Office that Vasius may be the 'apostle'."
