Are you confident about the concert performance at Vienna’s Musikverein?

no confidence?

Then you haven't practiced enough.

Lu Xiang'er became more intense in practicing the piano. After December, she began to fly to Vienna to rehearse with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

Three days to go and one day of rehearsal.

Dongyin graduate students have to take leave every now and then.

Ever since the news about the "Butterfly Lovers" concert at the Golden Hall in Vienna came out, some people have been discussing it in the student circle of the Donghai Conservatory of Music.

Most students are envious, but occasionally some people are jealous.

Especially in some small circles, some people will make sarcastic remarks:

"What's so great, isn't it just throwing money at a concert in the Golden Hall? Who can't do that if they have money?"

Lu Xiang'er studied at the Donghai Conservatory of Music. Due to her excellent performance, she also won a gold medal in an international competition.

Therefore, she has access to many resources in school.

For example, participating in a performance at an important party, or running a small show as a graduate tutor.

As long as you are better than ordinary graduate students, you will definitely receive more resources and attention, no matter which school you go to.

However, if this happens, some people will inevitably be jealous.

Therefore, some people in the school did ridicule that Lu Xiang'er was just throwing money at the concert and had no real ability.

There was a lot of discussion, and Lu Xiang'er inevitably heard these messages.

Every time Ning Xiaoyun heard someone talking like this, she would go up and argue with those people:

"Is it your turn to be jealous? If you can, go to the Spring Festival Gala, or win an award from an international competition."

Every time we quarrel, we will always be ridiculed: "Isn't it just that I have a great boyfriend? If someone praises me like this, what kind of award can't I get?"

Ning Xiaoyun would be so angry every time: "That's right! Xiangxiang is pampered by someone, you can only envy her!"

Once, Lu Xiang'er heard Ning Xiaoyun arguing with someone and quickly pulled her away.

This kind of thing, the more noisy it becomes, the more troublesome it becomes.

After hearing these rumors too much, Lu Xiang'er felt uncomfortable.

She even wanted to give up the performance at the Golden Hall.

That way, you can at least live a quiet life and play the piano quietly without becoming the focus of others' comments.

…

December 18th.

Tomorrow is the last rehearsal before the concert at the Golden Hall, and it is rehearsed in the Golden Hall.

This time, Fang Xing personally accompanied Lu Xiang'er to Vienna for rehearsals.

Accompanying us are the brokerage team and overseas marketing director Pang Yishan.

When he arrived in Vienna, Fang Xing met with the director of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and had a meal together.

night.

Back at the hotel, Lu Xiang'er stayed alone in the room and wanted to practice the piano, but she stopped and was not in a good mood.

When Fang Xing came back, as soon as he heard her intermittent music, he knew that there was something wrong with her mentality.

He opened the door and said with a smile: "What's wrong? You are suddenly so irritable."

Lu Xiang'er exhaled and said, "It's really annoying. If I had known that this would happen, I wouldn't have held any concerts."

Fang Xing frowned and asked, "Why?"

Lu Xiang'er shook his head and did not answer. He put the bow on the violin and continued to play.

However, when you are in a irritable mood, most people may not be able to hear the difference between the forced piano sounds, but people who are sensitive enough to music can hear the emotions in the piano sounds.

Fang Xing walked over, held her wrist, took off the violin, and said, "Let's talk about it. If you hold it in like this, you don't have to continue with the rehearsal tomorrow."

Lu Xiang'er frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "If the concert is canceled now, will we lose a lot of money?"

"The initial publicity funds, plus the liquidated damages for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the Golden Hall, as well as the initial investment for several subsequent concerts, should be 20 million." Fang Xing spread his hands.

If we save a little more and invest less in publicity expenses, we can actually reduce the investment to 10 million, but Fang Xing feels that since we are going to do it, we should do it with a lot of fanfare, so the publicity funds are all based on the highest standards.

More than 20 million yuan was invested.

Lu Xiang'er's eyes widened and she asked: "Twenty million, so much...can you get your money back?"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Sometimes, not all performances need to pay back."

In fact.

Most of the concerts held in Vienna's Musikverein are funded by investment.

If the attendance of a concert is high enough, the ticket revenue will be around 7 to 8 million.

This level of ticket revenue is already quite good.

Of course, the main income of famous performers does not come from concert tickets.

The remuneration for a commercial performance invited by top domestic performers, brands, and investors is more than one million yuan.

Fang Xing then added: "However, the investment in the Golden Hall is enough to recover the cost. I heard that the tickets sold well and were sold out very early. There should be many domestic audiences buying tickets, and we should be able to see many friendly people by then.

face."

When Lu Xiang'er heard this, he lowered his head and sighed.

This is already an arrow on the string and has to be fired.

"What's going on? Aren't you going to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition next year? Why don't you have the confidence to perform in the Golden Hall now?" Fang Xing joked.

"No, it's just that many people...many people say that I spend money to gain qualifications." Lu Xiang'er curled her lips. When she mentioned this, she felt very unconvinced.

After hearing this, Fang Xing couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "That's it? Which internationally famous performer doesn't want to attract investment when giving a concert?"

This is indeed a fact.

Unless you are a performer who is not short of money, you will need to invest in concerts.

Fang Xing added: "Besides, it's really easy to rent a color hall. During the off-season, you can rent it for 200,000 yuan for a day.

“However, if you want to hire the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra to collaborate, not just anyone can do it.

"Their manager also looks at the qualifications of the performers, and your Paganini Gold Medal is the real stepping stone.

"Without the Paganini Gold Medal, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra really wouldn't agree to cooperate."

The Vienna Musikverein is indeed one of the most famous concert halls in the world, but such a concert hall requires a large amount of money every year for maintenance.

Therefore, the Vienna Golden Hall needs to rely on rentals to generate income.

As long as there is still time, you can rent the Golden Hall for around 200,000 yuan, hold concerts, rehearse, and do whatever you want there.

The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is different. If the performers they collaborate with are not good enough, their person in charge will not agree.

Because, when holding a concert, the name of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra must be used to promote it.

Many audiences come here for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. If the concert performance is messed up, the orchestra's signature will be ruined.

Therefore, not everyone can be invited to collaborate with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

Money is one thing, but Lu Xiang'er's playing level is another.

Lu Xiang'er pursed her lips, with a smile hidden at the corner of her lips, and asked: "So, do you think I can hold a concert at my level?"

Fang Xing nodded and affirmed: "Of course, otherwise why would we hold a concert?"

After receiving psychological counseling, Lu Xiang'er felt much better.

It didn't matter how others ridiculed her, she got the recognition she wanted most.

"Not being jealous is a mediocre talent. You don't care what others say, practice your piano well." Fang Xing reached out and poked her forehead.

"Okay." Lu Xiang'er smiled, nodded in agreement, and then started practicing the piano again.

This time I was in a better mood and the sound of the piano became much more lively.

the next day.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er came to the Vienna Golden Hall for the last rehearsal with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

When Lu Xiang'er rehearsed with the Philharmonic Orchestra before, they practiced at other venues.

After all, the Golden Hall rents for 200,000 yuan a day, and normal rehearsals do not need to be held in the Golden Hall.

However, tomorrow is the official concert.

Therefore, the last day of rehearsal was arranged to be held in the Golden Hall.

Since the Musikverein is the permanent residence of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the orchestra is familiar with the Musikverein and the rehearsal process went smoothly.
