The end of the second part of the Asian tour means that Taylor's global concert tour is coming to an end. After the Sydney and Adelaide concerts in Oceania, the tour finally ended in Melbourne, Australia.
In the thirty-six world tour concerts, in addition to the four regular guests Li Qing, Jesse, Arthur and Shirley, many well-known local artists from various countries have also joined the concert due to the coordination of various local forces.
, although this adds a lot of rehearsal procedures, it also further expands BGM’s influence and network on a global scale.
After the tour, BGM started partying for two consecutive days.
Taking into account the income from thirty-six concerts, excluding various costs and venue rental fees, the average income of each concert is between US$7 million and US$12 million, with a total after-tax income of approximately US$320 million.
Of this, Taylor will personally take 30%, earning an income of 90 million US dollars. Of course, this 90 million income also includes various team expenses such as agents, which is not enjoyed by Taylor alone, but even so, Taylor is here
The income figures for three months are also very scary.
Combined with album sharing and advertising revenue sharing, Taylor's total annual income has exceeded 100 million US dollars as of October this year.
Compared with Sony's original liquidated damages offer of tens of millions, this figure clearly proves how correct Taylor's choice was.
Li Qing, Jesse, Arthur, Shirley and others performed on a voluntary basis. Of course, in fact, the money eventually went to Li Qing's name.
After the party, Taylor entered a month-long break.
In this month, in addition to personal physical care, Taylor will also realize her wish to "return to her hometown in fine clothes". She has not returned to her hometown for three years. Now, with a net worth of over 100 million, she has enough to bring a lot of benefits to an ordinary family.
In a sea change, even because of her fame, Taylor's hometown will become a place of pilgrimage for fans from all over the world.
After October arrived, as the calls for the publication of songs such as "Baby" became stronger and stronger, Li Qing also quickly began to prepare for his solo album.
In addition to the five popular songs "counting-sta", "see-you-again", "baby", "please-don't-go", and "we-don't-talk-anymore"
, Li Qing still needs to prepare ten English songs to make up a whole album.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, the Vienna Concert Hall, one of the five major concert halls, once again invited Li Qing to cooperate.
As the chairman of the Vienna Concert Hall, Tony Hoyle met Li Qing for the second time. The first time was at Han Daocheng’s 70th birthday party. At that time, Li Qing amazed everyone with his "World War II Rhapsody".
Hoyle had already sent an invitation to Li Qing at that time.
Later, although he was rejected, Hoyle did not hide his admiration for Li Qing at all. This half-century-old man who was accustomed to wearing black robes and a big beard, after returning to Vienna, he showed his true love to the world on the banks of the Danube River.
The piano piece "World War II Rhapsody" was displayed.
Hoyle is a world-class grand pianist and the chairman of the Vienna Concert Hall. He personally endorsed Li Qing in the music capital of the world. His influence is so terrifying that he directly made the piano song "World War II Rhapsody"
The song has become popular all over the world and is regarded as a classic by major music schools around the world.
It can be said that Hoyle single-handedly put Li Qing in the position of grand pianist.
Now, nearly two years later, Hoyle once again extended an invitation to Li Qing, but unfortunately, Li Qing still chose to refuse.
Being able to write piano music does not mean that you can play the piano. An excellent grand pianist may not necessarily be able to compose, but he must be a person who can play the piano.
Li Qing is self-aware. Although his piano skills have surpassed 99% of the people in the world, if he wants to compare with the top 1% of players, his strength is obviously not enough to compete with them.
Therefore, in order to preserve his image, Li Qing chose to refuse.
Hoyle was a little disappointed, but as a qualified gentleman, he did not force anyone to do anything. When he asked Li Qing if he had composed any new piano music, Li Qing casually played a few scales, which made Hoyle open his mouth in surprise.
It was a new song, a song to be released on a new album, called "50-ways-to-say-goodbye".
Translated into Chinese, it means "Fifty ways to say goodbye."
The chorus part of this song is original, but the verse part quotes the theme song "the-phant-of-the-opera" from the famous song "Phantom of the Opera". The musical elements in the chorus make the bearded Huo Huo
El was quite shocked.
"There are actually two versions of this song."
Li Qing said: "What I just played is another version called "Fifty Ways to Say Goodbye", which is a pop music. There is also a musical version called "Ghost of the Opera House". As the name suggests, it originated from a movie
opera."
Hoyle's interest increased greatly and he quickly asked Li Qing to try playing a piece.
So that afternoon, with Li Qing accidentally taking action, the world-famous "Ghost of the Opera" in the previous life appeared in front of Hoyle.
Li Qing played the piano version. Although it could not reflect the shocking momentum of "The Ghost of the Opera", with Li Qing's singing, the story in the music and the piano music made Hoyle instantly fascinated.
Creepy.
"In my dream he sang to me
In the dream he came towards me
Call my name loudly
Am I dreaming again
because i found
The Phantom of the Opera is right there.
in my heart
sing with me again
our wonderful duet
…”
Li Qing plays two roles, and he sings the characteristics of the male and female voices vividly.
Although he has not systematically studied bel canto, Li Qing's singing voice resonates in his head and comes from his abdomen, which still enriches the atmosphere of the whole song and presents the original work as completely as possible.
While listening to the song "Ghost of the Opera", Hoyle's expression changed again and again.
When the song ended, Hoyle looked at Li Qing blankly, and then said seriously: "Do you know, I have another identity."
"What do you mean?" Li Qing was a little confused.
Hoyle smiled slightly: "I am not only the chairman of the Vienna Concert Hall, but also the music director of the Vienna State Opera."
Li Qing's eyelids twitched, "So? Mr. Hoyle, you know, I am preparing for my first English album, and I don't have much free time to do other things."
"I know, I know."
Hoyle laughed loudly and waved his hands: "Don't worry, I won't force you to perform in the Golden Hall, but I am very interested in the "Phantom of the Opera" you just mentioned. From the lyrics you sang, I found
This song actually has a complete story, no, I guess it should be a complete opera!"
"You guessed it right."
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I understand what you mean. I can write the script for you, but the music..."
"It's such a pleasure to talk to intelligent people."
Hoyle was so excited that his beard trembled: "The song "Ghost of the Opera" is enough to amaze me. As for the other music that appears in the script, you can rest assured that the musicians in the Golden Hall are also very creative.
Abnormal, they will complete this task brilliantly."
Li Qing sighed, remembering that Hoyle had made "Rhapsody of World War II" a hit, and began to sort it out a little, recalling the storyline of "Phantom of the Opera".
In fact, in a previous life, "Phantom of the Opera" originally originated from a Gothic love novel, but the content of the novel was not too fascinating. Decades later, a famous musical master based on this novel,
Adapted the opera of the same name that is popular all over the world, namely "Phantom of the Opera":
In an opera house in Paris, strange things happen frequently.
The original prima donna was almost killed, and a creepy illusory male voice appeared in the theater.
This voice comes from the "ghost" who lives in the underground labyrinth of the theater. He falls in love with the actress Christine, secretly teaches her singing, and helps her get the position of the heroine. However, Christine is in love with the theater agent Raoul
.
This aroused the jealousy of the "ghost", which then triggered a series of plots such as chases and murders.
In the end, the "ghost" found that his love for Christine had exceeded his personal possessiveness, so he got rid of Christine, leaving behind the cloak and mask, and disappeared alone into the dim underground maze...
The opera uses a large amount of classical music background, uses surreal techniques and alienated sound processing, as well as extremely luxurious decoration and arrangements, making the music in this opera outstanding. Even if we look at the entire twentieth century, this opera
It is also a palace-level existence.
It has performed more than 65,000 performances in 110 cities in 20 countries around the world, watched by more than 58 million viewers, and has a total revenue of more than 1.6 billion pounds and nearly 16 billion yuan.
In addition, "The Phantom of the Opera" has also won more than 50 major theater awards, including three Olivier Awards. It is also the first time in the history of British musicals to top the record charts, and its sales in the UK alone have exceeded
Millions of copies, a veritable platinum record.
Hoyle is not only the chairman of the Golden Hall of Vienna, but also the music director of the National Theater. He has superb musical attainments, has participated in the performance and creation of many world-class songs, and has an extremely sensitive sense of music.
Although Li Qing did not really express the melody of "Ghost of the Opera" authentically, Hoyle automatically made up various rhythms in his mind, just like a computer automatically patched, so he got goosebumps all over his body.
He instantly discovered the brilliance of this song and the various brilliance of this opera.
It turned out that Li Qing wanted to send Hoyle away and find time to write "Phantom of the Opera" later, but Hoyle seemed to be possessed and checked into a hotel near BGM, smiling every morning.
Going in and out of BGM makes Julia, Victor and others dare not take a breath. You know, this is the Tarzan Beidou in the traditional music world. Superstars in the modern music world have to be courteous when they see them. They all have no choice but to stand aside and stand at attention.
, where do they dare to neglect.
As a result, the work efficiency of the entire BGM company fell into slow operation.
