Chapter 533 The second scene is still packed(1/2)
After the concert at the Vienna Golden Hall, the domestic entertainment media rushed to report the news the next day.
There are indeed several internationally renowned performers in China, especially in the piano field.
However, the number of people was not large and could be counted on one hand.
Lu Xiang'er performed China's "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" concerto at the Golden Hall in Vienna, which was a milestone breakthrough.
Coupled with Fang Xing's fame, the entertainment media naturally followed the trend and reported on it.
[Chinese violinist Lu Xiang'er performed successfully at Vienna's Golden Hall concert, and the whole venue was packed. 】
【A new performer has been added to the violin field.】
["Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" Violin Concerto went abroad and was recognized by foreign audiences. ]
[Blooming within the wall and fragrant outside the wall? Why is Lu Xiang'er not taken seriously in China? She is also ridiculed by some netizens as a person who uses krypton gold to gain honor.]
This last report caused a lot of controversy.
This self-media company has captured the traffic code, and the news it stirs up is full of topics.
The topic of "Blooming flowers inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall" has become a hot topic.
Many netizens participated in the discussion:
[This is the virtue of some domestic audiences. Anyway, the moon abroad is rounder.]
[Indeed, no honors won in China will be recognized. You must go abroad to get honors. 】
[I just went to find out that the Paganini Silver Medal winner in the same year as Lu Xiang'er is already a famous violinist in Austria. We won the gold medal, but we were laughed at every day. The fact is that some domestic audiences just can't do it. ]
[Not to mention the previous ones, this time it was announced that Lu Xiang'er would hold a concert at the Golden Hall, and many people ridiculed it as throwing money at gold plating. It was funny to see it. Which performer gave a concert with his own money? 】
[Our country's violinists go abroad and still perform "Butterfly Lovers". With this courage alone, even if they are not successful, they are worthy of admiration. What's more, the concert is very successful.]
[Who is trolling Lu Xiang'er? You can find out just by opening a few accounts. A certain group hates Fang Xing so much that he even feels ptsd. Now that the Golden Hall performance is successful, this group of ncs has finally stopped. 】
[Today I asked my colleagues who went to the Golden Hall to attend the concert, and the feedback was very good. I made a prompt decision and decided to buy tickets to go to the Bridgewater Concert Hall next week, and the result...]
[The people above are really desperate. Tickets for the Bridgewater Concert Hall were sold out last week. Is it your turn?]
[Where is the third game? Where is the third game? Why can’t I find the information about the third game?]
[The third show is the Amsterdam Concert Hall in the Netherlands, you’re welcome. You’re really welcome, because the tickets have been sold out.]
[What about the fourth game? Where will the fourth game start?]
[Why is it that the third show is all sold out? Could it be that they were all bought by scalpers? 】
[I also want scalper tickets, but the problem is that scalpers can’t even buy them! That’s outrageous!]
…
Not only domestic entertainment media reported it, but foreign media also reported it.
If it were just Lu Xiang'er's personal popularity, perhaps foreign media would not report that much, but with the addition of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, it would be different.
There are also many entertainment self-media, carrying news back from abroad.
When foreign entertainment media reports, they basically focus on the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
[The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra’s Golden Hall Concert collaborated with violinist Lu Xiang’er from the East to perform the Oriental violin concerto “Butterfly Lovers”, which was a great success. 】
[The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra performed for the first time, the Olympic Games opening ceremony concerto "Butterfly Lovers".]
…
After the performance at the Golden Hall, Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er returned to Donghai the next day.
Then, the two of them received many WeChat messages from acquaintances in the entertainment industry, all asking about tickets.
Ark Culture does have reserved tickets, but there are simply not enough points.
We even gave away all the reserved tickets for the third game in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Many netizens who couldn't get tickets began to flock to Ni Hongdan's special area to watch the edited video introducing the Golden Hall.
With this trip to the Golden Hall in Vienna, Ni Hongdan gained another 100,000 followers.
Music critics all over the Internet began to smell the traffic, and began to plan to attend a concert in Manchester next week.
Not only music critics, but also travel influencers also saw business opportunities and began to arrange one-day tours to Manchester, including Lu Xianger's visit to Bridgewater Concert Hall as part of the tour.
Many entertainment media have also focused on the concert at Bridgewater Concert Hall.
The following week.
Lu Xiang'er continued to practice the piano, and then flew to Manchester on December 26 to rehearse with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra the next day to prepare for the concert on the 28th.
On the morning of the 28th, Fang Xing accompanied Lu Xianger to rehearse at Bridgewater Concert Hall.
After the rehearsal, I was about to go back to the hotel to rest.
Fang Xing and the two were blocked by entertainment reporters from China for interviews.
Reporter: "Fang Xing, there are reports that the performance at the Golden Hall was very successful. Are you satisfied with that performance?"
Fang Xing nodded and replied, "Very satisfied."
Reporter: "Can the concert in the Golden Hall recover its cost?"
Hearing this question, Fang Xing frowned.
In fact, the concert at the Golden Hall recovered the cost and made a small profit, but not much.
Ticket sales were more than 700,000 yuan. After deducting the two-day rent of the Golden Hall, which totaled 300,000 yuan, as well as the share of the ticket sales channels and the remuneration of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, there was still a profit of about 100,000 yuan.
However, this does not include Ark’s cultural publicity resources and Lu Xiang’er’s own remuneration.
The concert itself really doesn't make much money.
Of course, the real value of the concert is not the profit from the tickets.
If you can recover the cost, you are already very successful.
However, the cost of holding a concert at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall today has increased.
Because the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra needs to fly from Austria to Manchester to perform, the cost of air tickets and hotels is also a lot of money.
Therefore, this concert at Bridgewater Concert Hall basically made no profit.
actually.
If you want to save costs, you can save a lot of money by working with a local symphony orchestra in Manchester.
However, "Butterfly Lovers" is still not a world-famous song, and not every symphony orchestra can play it.
Therefore, currently I can only cooperate with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
If it were replaced by another less famous band, the cost would indeed be lower, but it would not be able to achieve the goal Fang Xing wanted at all.
Profitability or not is never the point.
Fang Xing also did not ask whether the concert was profitable. This is the job of the company's finance: "I don't know about this issue. As long as the audience likes it, it will be fine."
Reporter: "Some people say that you spend money to gild your girlfriend. What do you think of this statement?"
Fang Xing smiled and replied: "Rather than gilding her, I would rather say that I want to gild our own music."
In fact, the original intention of holding the concert was to take "Butterfly Lovers" abroad and make the whole world familiar with this song.
If he had to use "gold-plated" to describe it, Fang Xing would not deny it.
And the purpose of all this is for next year's Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition.
However, there is no need to explain these things to reporters.
The reporter turned to Lu Xiang'er and asked: "Ms. Lu Xiang'er, you are the youngest performer in our country to perform the main instrument at the Golden Hall in Vienna. How do you feel about this?"
Lu Xiang'er was actually not used to being asked questions by reporters, but now that she was surrounded, she could only answer bravely: "I was nervous at the beginning, but I felt much better after the performance."
Reporter: "Do you know how much Fang Xing spent to hold a concert for you?"
Lu Xiang'er shook his head and replied: "He didn't say. But... I think the concert hall is basically full of people. It shouldn't be a loss. Otherwise, who would hold a concert?"
Lu Xiang'er really doesn't know how much it costs to hold a concert.
However, the audience was all full, which meant that all the tickets were sold out.
If the tickets are sold out and the cost cannot be recovered, then the concert will be a complete loss-making business.
When the reporter heard this answer, he couldn't find the words to refute it.
The truth is this, very simple.
The reporter continued to ask: "Do you think the tickets for today's second concert can be sold out?"
Lu Xiang'er answered uncertainly: "It should be...sold out, right? My friend asked me for tickets, but there are none left."
The reporter was choked again.
In fact, the tickets for today's second concert were sold out a week ago, and even many people who wanted to buy scalper tickets were unable to buy them.
The reporter changed the question and continued: "So where do you think your violin level ranks in the world?"
