Chapter 354 First Movement Poems of Awakening (31): Human Heart, Dream
Scenery (two in one)
The first person to take the stage was Prince Louis, the main investor of Hoffman Records.
In the gaze of everyone, he said loudly: "I announce that the record company's donation to the Kaplan Art Fund is: a permanent 15% share of the sales of the "Second Symphony" recording."
There was a normal amount of warm applause from the audience. Perhaps because this was not an intuitive amount, many people did not realize the strength behind it at the first time.
"Update the second version of the data." Louis smiled at this time, "On the third day after the premiere, the pre-sale orders have exceeded 40,000, and the data more than ten days later is: 61,655! Now, let's
The staff is making a small delivery for our pre-order customers present. I hope you like its cover design."
The applause from the audience stopped. Many people suddenly realized what this meant. After roughly calculating it in their minds, whispers gradually started to sound:
"I remember the threshold for a four-star rating is 5,000 copies sold for the first time, right? 12 times the sales threshold? Oh my god, this is really witnessing another historic moment in the record industry."
"With a price of 30 pounds and a sales volume of 60,000 pounds, 15% sounds inconspicuous at first. How much is it actually? One hundred thousand pounds. No, more than two hundred thousand pounds is close to three hundred thousand pounds! This is just the current sales volume.
He is worthy of being the first generous person to come on stage! Hoffman Records is really willing to give up this time. After excluding the cost, I am afraid that the profit will be 30 to 40%. Come to think of it, with such a big financial backer, it would be a dream for anyone else to cooperate with him.
Wake up with a smile.”
"Does anyone know what the signing terms that Director Fan Ning once negotiated were?"
"35%, it seems to be 35%. The group would have been able to get 35% of the turnover."
"That is to say, for every copy of the "resurrected" record sold after that, half of the money will go into the 'Kaplan Art Fund'?"
Exquisite small handbags containing record boxes were piled up on three pyramids on the long table of the reception desk. Sheeran cut off the ribbons surrounding them, and Olga leaned over to sign the donation agreement.
After the representative customers present took away their pre-ordered copies, it marked that the "Second Symphony" record was officially launched on other channels today.
"Director Fanning's appeal is really terrifying. One record, in more than ten days, directly brought millions of dollars in revenue to Turner Art Hall, and all of this was as if nothing had happened. He showed up continuously during the entire process.
None! It’s a ruthless pound-harvesting machine. If I could record a record like this.”
The packaging design continues the dead black and incandescent light as always. Gentlemen and ladies couldn't help but open it and check it out on the spot, and then sighed repeatedly. However, some people looked at the expression terms and track separation tips of the five movements in awe.
, directly shattered the illusions of those around him:
"You'd better stop dreaming. Remember the evaluation of "The Voice of Janus" in the Western Continent, 'one of the most important symphonies in the history of human art'! If you want to achieve this kind of response, you must first write 'Resurrection'
Right? The second step is to bring out an 'Old Symphony Orchestra', right? If these achievements are difficult but not unique, then this record is an artistic masterpiece made by Mr. Kaplan's effusion of the afterglow of his life."
During the endless discussion with emotion, suddenly there was an even louder surprised question:
"How come there are five stars on this!?" A dignitary from the Ufranser City Council said in disbelief while holding the record.
Everyone immediately rubbed their eyes after hearing this.
"One, two, three, four. Five, yes, five, with flowers and a key."
"Isn't it the highest rating of four stars with flowers?"
"Haha, finally a friend discovered it." Prince Louis' voice came from the pickup electrode microphone again, and everyone realized that he was still on the stage, "Please believe your eyes, this is indeed a 'Five Stars and Flowers'"
' record, Hoffman Records went back and forth with a lot of ideas on how to make the 'Resurrection' record match the opening day feat of 'Resurrection', and then what you're seeing here, we
The "Album Grade Evaluation Guide" has not been changed, and four stars are still the top honors in the general sense, which further demonstrates its non-replicability in the long history."
So, everyone couldn't help but repeatedly praise the price of 30 pounds as the conscience of the industry, but at the same time, they felt that the feeling of holding it in their hands became more and more unreal.
Five stars bring flowers? Five stars bring flowers!
Owen and several Special Patrol Agents applauded in the seats and observed everyone's reaction.
Only then did they realize a more immediate problem: Even if Fanning is not taken into account, the existence of the great conductor Kaplan's deeds may have made Turner Art Hall an art holy place in the hearts of some people!
"These commemorative ideas are indeed much better than the suggestions of the old guys in our academy." Marquis MacAdam sighed at this time, "No wonder Prince Louis slapped the table and agreed without hesitation. He had a flash of inspiration.
, if you miss it, it will never be traced back. Whether it is our school of thought or the industrial aristocrats, I am afraid they are all thanking you now."
"Shouldn't the Special Patrol Office thank me?" Roy lowered his eyelashes and adjusted the silk scarf in front of his chest. "The "Record Grade Evaluation Guide" is a global convention, involving not only the art world but also the industry, but that's it.
A proposal that breaks the standards. Even the group of guys in the Western Continent who call themselves "Janus Orthodox" can't object. The 40th Harvest Art Festival is approaching, and Tioleian has occupied such an unforgettable high ground first. If this
If someone thinks his name is an eyesore in the credit book, why not add my name?"
In the past ten days or so, her various operations have almost never stopped. She has mobilized almost all the connections, connections, and even the fame-seeking people who can lobby and move. Of course, before this, Fan
The good foundation and reputation laid by Ning, and Kaplan's desperate leap to the highest point during his lifetime, are all prerequisites for her to be able to achieve results.
He was just adding a fire to the pile of fuel that Fanning and Kaplan had laid.
"'Five Stars with Flowers' is just the beginning. I want to see what you can do to Turner Hall and the Old Symphony Orchestra after the volume is completely raised this time."
"Instead of thinking about 'wait and see' all day long, if you are smart, you would be better off enjoying the gratifying results of your own imperial art career. The former Symphony Orchestra is one of the top ten orchestras in the world and is unstoppable. With the strong support of the authorities,
My Majesty, the honor belongs to all the people of the empire. Isn’t it good to do this?”
Roy, who was dressed in a dark blue formal suit, gently shook his folding fan, with an indistinguishable smile on his lips.
After Louis walked off the stage, donated units came up one after another.
"Look at these guys with constipated faces." Lawyer Monroe in the other corner was smiling proudly, "Seeing their expressions shrinking because of the large amount of donations they received from the Kaplan Art Fund, I'm really fucking better than myself.
The law firm is still excited about making money, but you said that the public welfare undertakings that Kaplan decided during his lifetime have nothing to do with them? Who doesn't know what they are pretending to be."
Although Fan Ning's withdrawal and resignation are unclear, many things can be guessed by paying a little attention.
"No, you can't say that." Cyndia smiled and lowered her voice, "Of course it has something to do with them. The powers and responsibilities are consistent. The leader of the discussion group must perform its duties... The Special Patrol Office itself does not take the lead.
Made a donation?”
"You say that and I get even more excited." Monroe said.
"Make a bet?" Dupont took out three gold coins, "Guess how much agreement Sheeran can sign on stage today? I'll bet 3 pounds, 300,000 pounds."
"You're losing money, I'll bet you 500,000 pounds." Monroe took out a larger 5-pound gold coin.
"Keep your voices down a little bit." Viadlin, who was holding his arms behind him, reminded his old subordinates, "I'm more worried about the guy who left first in a wheelchair than someone like Owen who can't hide his emotions.
'Mr. Wax', you have just learned his identity. There is a high probability that this person is still investigating the clues of Carlo En. He has some high-ranking mysterious methods and can connect the dots with the help of a few easily overlooked past connections.
Please be careful and keep a close eye on the recent revelations."
No matter what happened on Fan Ning's side, at least the forces were still on good terms with each other on the surface. But to be cautious, he secretly dispatched several high-ranking knowledgeable people at the first time, and he temporarily stayed here. Of course, obviously,
For some of the above activities, members of the original branch only need to show up. The eldest lady of the McAdam family seems to have made some arrangements. For the game in the field of intelligence and art, this is enough.
And Viadlin knows that the more widespread the support from all walks of life, the more stable the future development of Turner Art Hall will be. Donations are very delicate, and the field of art charity is even more delicate. Funds must be transparent and open, earmarked for specific purposes, and accepted by the authorities throughout the process.
What else is needed for supervision? Once a reputation is established and people's hearts are gathered, it is really difficult to go against the trend.
"I, timpanist Lou Adair, deputy director of the Old Symphony Orchestra, announce that the Theoline Railway Company will donate 50,000 pounds to the 'Capron Arts Fund'. From today, the current clerk of the Ventner Art Hall or in
Orchestra musicians, regardless of long-distance travel for public or private purposes, can enjoy a 50% discount on railway tickets with proof of employment, and all tour costs of the old symphony orchestra are free of charge." Lu's voice was full of confidence.
"I, Roy McAdam, deputy director of the Old Symphony Orchestra and principal cellist, have been commissioned by the entire academic artist group of Theoline to donate 50,000 pounds to the 'Capron Arts Fund'. In the subsequent 'Music Aid' and
During the operation of the 'art popularization' project, the academic school is willing to actively share its students and teachers, and negotiate with the group for specific cooperation and exchange agreements." Roy himself took the stage for the third time.
"Kent Motor Company donates £30,000."
"Gugova Group donated 30,000 pounds."
"The Chateau Pioteau Group donated 30,000 pounds." The first batch of art naming conglomerates for the three Turner Art Halls followed closely.
"On behalf of all the pioneering artists of the Impressionism Foundation, I donate 10,000 pounds to thank Turner Art Hall for supporting and encouraging us in four consecutive bi-monthly art exhibitions," said painter Claude Claude.
"The Guidance School will donate 21,250 pounds. Miss Sheeran, the current head of Turner Art Hall, is an outstanding member of ours. Her donation contains the heart of all City Colleges in Tioline, and the balance of thousands of figures comes from Uvran
Spontaneously raised by the Serbian Workers' Association, the broad middle class and working class entrusted us to convey our sincere gratitude for the 'Music Aid' and 'Art Popularization' projects..." Viadlin's voice was loud.
"The Church of the Holy Sun in the Archdiocese of Theoline donated 10,000 pounds and transferred the copyright and related income of the large-scale religious vocal work "Mass in F minor" that the great composer Anton Konard gave to the church during his lifetime to 'Kap
Lun Art Fund'..."
"Master Swearinck's personal donation of 1,000 pounds, Master Schillings's 1,000 pounds, Master Dominic's 1,000 pounds... and an equal amount of personal donations from Niemann are entrusted to me today."
The voices came one after another, but for some reason, everyone had a tacit agreement not to mention a single person's name.
The rate of adoption and implementation of Roy's suggestion was perfect, and everyone felt it was a prudent suggestion that was for their own benefit.
In the end, Sheeran and Olga shook hands, and after the handover of the art fund's operation entrustment was completed, Owen followed the others and dispersed in the crowd.
His expression had returned to calm at this time, and the current situation confirmed that the leader's cautious attitude was correct.
"There are two major mainstream groups in the art world, one is 'court art' in the academy, and the other is 'religious art' in the church. Mr. Pogorelic said frankly that the Special Patrol Office lacks foundation in this aspect. There is only a group of extraordinary elites. There is no
A truly intimate group of artists”
"The cyclical spread of abnormal areas that occurs every seven years is a danger that comes as expected, and it is also an opportunity to rise higher. But every time it is dealt with passively, after taking the initiative of the Harvest Art Festival,
After all these years, our relationship with them is still a courtesy exchange between host and guest."
Without insight into art, you cannot understand true mysticism.
The "potential artist" solicitation strategy proposed by "Mr. Wax" is undoubtedly a clever move.
In terms of its purpose, tracing the life and death of Fan Ning is only one of them. The current situation requires accelerating the discovery of talents with promotion potential to gain the "time" the leader said. In addition, the most critical 40th harvest will be held in two years.
It would be best for the art festival to support a few people who are truly affable to the Special Inspection Hall and can rival Fan Ning's artistic status.
Kill three eagles with one stone.
Night was falling, and the branches in the forest nearby suddenly felt an unusual swaying feeling. Owen walked over, and the body of a bird standing above suddenly became white and turbid, and finally melted into invisible droplets and dripped down.
It was "Mr. Wax"'s messenger. After seeing the spiritual words remaining on the ground, Owen fell into deep contemplation for a long time.
"Vasius comes from the organization related to the 'Snake'."
Later in the night, after finishing the donation and handover ceremony, and participating in some social activities, Sheeran dragged his tired body back to the music director's office.
"It was worth it, right? Things are still going in a better direction."
She asked herself softly and opened the door to Fan Ning's living room. For more than ten days, except for doing some necessary cleaning and bringing in some of her own daily necessities, the layout of the room remained unchanged.
I can barely get a good night's sleep here.
After washing, I slept on my side, but time hung there for a long time in the darkness with my eyes closed, as if I had returned to the insomnia state of the previous few days.
It must have been late at night when she got up again. Next to the grand piano in the middle partition area of the living room, next to her violin music stand, she took out her piano and played the unaccompanied suite No. 2 in D minor.
Five movements, "Chaconne" dance.
The cool breeze of the summer night flows into the water, the bow strings are heavy and steady, and the ancient and sentimental eight-bar theme is like a solemn and sad oath like a pipe organ.
The initial variation is gentle and graceful, the hidden bass theme, and the chromatic melody gradually bring about a sense of eternal desolation, much like this lonely and hazy light, like this silent and dim room.
She felt that her intuitive sense of the things around her was being lost, and the notes engulfed her into darkness, so she simply closed her eyes.
The fingertips were rubbing on the strings, and the spiritual expression was disrupted and reorganized. It was a very large castle, with staggered steps, rooms and gardens, but the ancient theme of the variations remained unchanged, and it would never be possible to escape from the confusion.
Break out from the hesitant mood.
It wasn't until the last lonely, long sigh that the D sound sank into darkness. She raised her bow, finished her sentence, and opened her eyes. Only then did she realize that there was a wood-like texture under her feet, and she found that she was enveloped in a faint golden mist.
"Sheeran." A familiar voice called her name.
The piano and bow in her hands instantly turned into mist, and she suddenly turned her head.
Fan Ning was sitting on a mahogany bench under the stage, holding a guitar in his arms and looking at himself with a smile.
