Chapter 171 Is this Fu Tiao’s appeal?
Wu Hong and Chen Ying also arrived in Amsterdam on the third day after Fu Diao arrived in Amsterdam, which was the day before Fu Diao's performance.
After the two happily walked around Amsterdam's most famous red light district, they randomly found an Airbnb to stay in. After playing some of the special games they saw that day, they welcomed the next day.
Played by Fu Tiao.
To be honest, Fu Tiao's global tour performance can't be said to be very popular, nor can you say it's not popular. It's just that it's at a very special point.
Even those who pay attention can catch the news about Fu Diao. They know that Fu Diao is holding a concert in Amsterdam this week. The works he performed are all Chopin's solo works, and his encore works may be based on Chopin's works.
It is a jazz arrangement, so tickets for Fu's tunes are quite popular.
but……
Fu Tiao's influence is still limited to his fans. He doesn't seem to be particularly well-known among passers-by. For example, Wu Hong and Chen Ying didn't see anything during the two days they walked around Amsterdam.
A poster about Fu Tiao performance.
It wasn't until I was near the concert hall that I saw a poster of Fu Tiao.
These posters are all gathered near theaters and concert halls, not throughout the city.
The posters of this place are similar to the posters of the Berlin Philharmonic, except that the name, time and place have simply been changed, that's all.
Seeing so few posters, Chen Ying was filled with anger. She pointed at these posters and couldn't help but get angry.
"Can't those who do publicity put these posters outside the concert hall, at the entrance of the concert hall and theater? Apart from those who come to the theater and concert hall, who else knows that there is a Fu Tiao concert today? Really!
The same thing happened when Marta Argerich came to Berlin before! I was preparing for a concert and hadn't gone to the Berlin Philharmonic for a few days to see it, but suddenly I was scrolling through Instagram and saw that my friend went to hear Argerich!
Ahhhh, I am really, really pissed off!"
Wu Hong patted her shoulder lightly, scratched his head with his other hand and whispered: "But... these are classical music. Apart from those mariachi bands, there should not be many brokerage companies and publicity departments who would choose it.
Are these posters going to be plastered all over the city? Anyway, the streets near my house still have posters of the latest Beijiu Mariachi band, as well as Bolero Mariachi posters.”
"Although it is true to say so, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart, as if the things I value are not valued by others. It is very annoying. Why can't newcomers like Fu Diao be posted everywhere in the city like a mariachi band?
What about the advertisement? Wouldn’t it be better to attract more people to come and watch it?”
Chen Ying muttered something softly and shook her head slightly.
So-called mariachi bands are actually bands that have no residency. They usually travel around the country, decide on touring venues a year in advance, and then tour the country to hold concerts.
Although these orchestras have the most basic qualities, the personnel in them are not particularly fixed. Even the most publicized direction is only to promote their repertoire, not who their conductor is or who their concertmaster is, because...
These are not fixed and change frequently.
Those who study abroad in Germany often encounter the situation that large symphony orchestras are short of people. If they perform a piece they are familiar with, as an outsider, they can easily insert themselves into it and perform as a member of a mariachi band.
But the performance level and strength...
I can only say that the performers are indeed capable, and the work they performed is indeed that kind of work, but the feeling of their performance is not that, it just sounds a bit bad.
But people are constantly changing, and there are just a few average-level people hanging around in this kind of group waiting to die. What else do you expect from people to perform at a high level? It's good to just listen to it and have fun.
This is why they advertise in various places to promote the works they will perform, but not to advertise who their conductor is.
After all, the name of the work is much more valuable than their conductor.
Chen Ying walked to the vicinity of the concert hall holding in her stomach. When she was about to turn around and wait, she complained about the lack of attention paid to the Royal Concert Hall of the Netherlands. However, when she entered the concert hall where Fu Tiao was about to perform, she looked at
Everyone who came to the concert hall today, she suddenly shut her mouth.
It’s densely packed, and they’re all people.
They had obviously arrived very early, and they had already started queuing up to enter the venue as soon as they started checking in. But when they actually entered the concert hall, she discovered that she was still late.
The seats at the front were already occupied, and those who bought high-priced tickets rushed to their seats impatiently, waiting for Fu Tiao's performance.
Only those with middle votes would stroll slowly to their seats.
As for the tickets to the top of the mountain in the distance... they were occupied by a group of students, students from the Royal Conservatory of Music in the Netherlands. They bought tickets to the top of the mountain with low-price tickets.
To put it simply, although I have no money, I still come here to support you.
Looking at the students, they seemed very excited.
Chen Ying realized this at this time, patted Wu Hong beside her hard, and said excitedly.
"I know! I know!"
"You know it, you know it, why are you hitting me?" Wu Hong hid behind, grabbed Chen Ying's flailing hand, and pressed it on her leg: "Speak nicely, don't get excited, you
What do you know?"
"I know why I don't give Fu a place in the Netherlands to promote his performance!"
Chen Ying looked at Wu Hong excitedly and said in a low voice: "It's not that the Netherlands doesn't want to promote Fu Diao, it's because... there's no need for publicity at all, you know? There's no need to promote Fu Diao! You see
People around me, even if there is only a little publicity, and even posters are just placed near the concert hall, the attendance rate around it can't be higher! Do you know what this means? In other words, before the publicity, Fu
The tickets for the transfer to the Netherlands have been completely sold out! Just like Argerich before!"
"ah?"
Wu Hong looked at the object of his excitement and couldn't help but open his mouth: "All sold out?"
"That's right! They're all sold out! The highest-priced seats in the front row have all been sold out, and the tickets to the top of the mountain behind have also been taken over by those students. Only some tickets in the middle are still on sale, but look at the people around you, come in
There are more and more people, and the remaining vacancies are getting less and less. At the current rate of entry, they are definitely sold out! This is the fundamental reason why they don’t promote Fu Tiao!"
Chen Ying looked excited.
She started booking tickets after Fu Diao's performance. Because it had just opened at that time, no one knew much about Fu Diao. Therefore, when she bought the tickets, more than 90% of the seats were empty, and almost no one bought them.
ticket.
This is the main reason why she became so angry when she saw that the concert hall did not promote Fu Tiao.
But when she saw that there were people everywhere now, she understood the difficulties of the concert hall.
The purpose of your promotion is to sell more tickets.
Now that all the tickets have been sold out, why are you still promoting it?
You are telling people in the whole city that there is a super exciting concert this weekend. We have invited a big-name pianist to perform. All classical music lovers have already obtained tickets, but guess what?
, who didn’t buy a ticket?
It's you!
As long as the image of the Dutch is introduced a little bit, Chen Ying's fist can't help but become harder.
I'm so angry that I want to punch the person who put up the poster!
Why are there so many posters that you can’t buy tickets for? Are you mocking us?
Thinking of this, Chen Ying nodded sympathetically.
"Yes, as expected, we still can't put up posters directly. Oh, by the way, Wu Hong, have you bought the tickets for Fu Tiao's next concert?"
"I bought them both from Brussels and Paris. I bought them with you at the time. Have you forgotten?" Wu Hong nodded honestly, and then said with a wry smile: "No,
Ying, the repertoire played in Fu Tiao's concert will not be very different, why are you pursuing him so much?"
"You don't understand! This is the pursuit of piano students! I happen to be practicing Chopin recently, and I am also preparing to hold a Chopin solo concert. I plan to refer to Fu Tiao's performance!"
Chen Ying had a firm look on her face, then she was stunned and slapped Wu Hong: "No, I almost got confused by your interruption. What did I want to ask you just now... Oh, by the way, buy a ticket! You
Go and see if the tickets at the back are sold out?"
"The tickets at the back..."
Wu Hong smiled bitterly.
Although he also studies music, his interest in piano can only be considered average. He came to the concert more to accompany his partner than because he wanted to attend the concert.
Regarding Fu Tiao, he felt that the most awesome thing about Fu Tiao was the encore at the end of Fu Tiao's last time. That encore was really amazing and one of the most awesome encores he had ever heard. And Fu Tiao
Chopin plays...
It can only be said that it is about the same level as the other specialties he has heard on headphones, right? There is no big difference.
If his girlfriend hadn't always wanted to listen to Fu Tiao, he probably wouldn't have listened to it a second time after listening to it once.
But...
Seeing that his partner has a delicate body, a slim waist, a sweet appearance, and a perverted play style, no matter how much he doesn't want to hear it, he is willing to accompany his partner.
After all, the way he played last night even made him wonder if his partner was not learning piano, but ballet or jujitsu.
Wu Hong shook his head and put aside some of the bad thoughts in his mind. He turned on his phone and started to check Fu Diao's tickets, and then he couldn't help but be stunned.
Let’s not talk about the tickets that have not yet been sold in the last month. As for the tickets for several cities that have already been sold, excluding the three he bought, the other cities...
All sold short?
Not a single ticket left?
Wu Hong was stunned. Seeing that there was no one on the stage except for the Steinway lying quietly there, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.
Fu Diao’s appeal is so strong? How can he sell so many tickets?
