Unprecedented enthusiastic response, unprecedented success. Except for Rhine, who stood silently aside, this was the most direct evaluation of this concert by other musicians. The crazy and continuous applause was unmatched by every concert they had attended before.
, and the owners of these applause are still the nobles who rule Alto, sponsor the musicians, and the authorities in the music industry.
Moreover, these musicians are all people with high musical literacy, and several of them can also be called performers. They have a basic judgment on the quality of the Symphony of Destiny, and they also have their own expectations for the final result, so
They were infected by the music and the warm atmosphere, and were more excited than before.
Because of the success and the fulfillment of his wish, Victor was very excited and moved forward to hug Rhine: "Thank you, Mr. Rhine. Without you transforming the piano and without your superb playing skills, this concert would not be so perfect."
"But the most important thing about the concert is the music. This is the honor of you and Lucien, Mr. Victor." Rhine, who had always seemed very silent, smiled and hugged Victor, celebrating the success of the concert in the Psalm Hall.
Lucien was warmly embraced by the cellist, Thomas, a strong man with a big beard: "Mr. Evans, you will definitely become the most famous musician in Aalto and even the entire continent."
Respectfully and politely, this was completely treating Lucien as a musician, which made Lucien, who was used to being called by his first name, a little uncomfortable.
When the Symphony of Destiny began to be rehearsed, Thomas and other musicians were very optimistic about Lucien's future and were relatively polite to him. However, Lucien, who had not yet achieved anything, was not enough for them to call him sir, but at this concert
, Lucien was unanimously praised by the three most powerful figures in Alto, especially Archduke Violet and Princess Natasha, who are also very authoritative in the music industry. They both rated it very highly. One of them was described as incomparable.
, one even called Lucien a revolutionary in music.
It is conceivable that within the next year, with the release of "Music Review" and "Symphony Herald", Lucien will become a rising star in the music industry of the entire continent, and can be called a musician, even if he continues to
I haven't even mastered the piano yet.
And as long as he has another work of above standard within the next two years, his status will be completely stable. Even if the trend of this kind of theme music begins to prevail, Lucien will become the authority on this kind of symphony in the music industry.
Therefore, the attitude of Thomas and other musicians toward Lucien changed 180 degrees.
Victor hugged the musicians in turn and thanked them for their cooperation. Although the status and income of musicians are much higher than that of musicians, a successful concert must be inseparable from the cooperation of musicians.
Rhine walked up to Lucien and gave him a hug with a smile: "I can imagine that in many years to come, there will be more and more theme music that expresses certain feelings, and it can even be combined with religious themes.
Become the mainstream in the music industry, Lucien, haha, or I should call you Mr. Evans, you will be the pioneer of this trend."
Even though Lucien didn't like this way of celebrating the success of the concert, he didn't reject it. He hugged Rhine: "A pioneer who can't even master the piano? Haha, Mr. Rhine, your violin just now
The performance was great, but it lacked a little passion.”
Lucien gently tested Rhine with words. At the same time, he felt that although Rhine looked thin, his arms were very strong and powerful, and his body seemed to contain a lot of power.
"Maybe I'm a quiet person and don't have too strong emotions." Rhine let go of his arm and explained casually, but it was not what Lucien wanted to hear.
After hugging the musicians, Victor hugged his students one by one, and Lucien did everything he did.
"The complete Symphony of Destiny is great." During the hug, Phyllis blushed with excitement and praised Lucien. The concert will be a great success, and Victor's status in the music industry will be significantly improved, which is very important to Phyllis. It will be of great help in the future. At the same time, her classmates were praised by three big figures. Phyllis could already imagine the scene of herself being surrounded by other noble ladies and ladies and asking questions.
Lott also gave Lucien a strong hug: "What a crazy applause, Lucien. I am very proud to know you."
When Herodotus hugged Lucien, he just remained silent and said lightly: "You are outstanding."
Finally, Victor walked up to Lucien with a smile and gave him the warmest and most powerful hug: "I don't know how to thank you, Lucien. My greatest luck, and the Lord's gift to me, is that I don't have I refuse you to study writing with me."
"I'm very lucky to know you." Lucien said sincerely.
Victor let go of his arm: "By the way, there is one more thing. The proceeds from this concert will be half of yours. Lucien, don't refuse, this is what you deserve. With this money, you don't have to continue." I live in Aderjan. Although poverty and suffering can give you inspiration, it is everyone’s nature to pursue a better life and it can also inspire inspiration. Aderjan is too dangerous.”
As far as Lucien knew, apart from the small grandstand on the west side and a few boxes, there were a total of 365 seats for the upper class in the chant hall.
Although there seem to be a lot of seats, Alto is the capital of the Principality of Violet, the city of chants of the church, the city closest to the Dark Mountains, the first line against dark creatures, heretics, and heretics, and the continent There are countless prosperous cities in the world, so there are many nobles and priests, and their wives, sons, and daughters are even more. Plus there are the same number of musicians, so the supply of tickets often exceeds the demand, and it is basically full every time.
Of course, for a large part of the aristocratic branches, this kind of fullness is good, otherwise spending a gold tale every week to attend concerts will be the main reason for their bankruptcy. They only need to socialize or meet their favorite musicians. When the time comes, they will come to the Psalm Hall early to make a reservation.
Therefore, the ticket revenue for a concert in the Chant Hall is 365 gold thalers, which is a very huge number. This is Victor’s income in the past four years, and a normal knight, the annual income is only Between three hundred and five hundred gold thalers.
According to the regulations of the Musicians Association, 40% of ticket sales are donated to the church, 30% is used for the operation of the Musicians Association and the maintenance of the chant hall, and the remaining 30%, about 110%, is used for the church. Ten gold talers will be owned by the musicians, and the band's fees will also be paid from this 30%, so the final gold taler Victor will receive will be between sixty and seventy gold talers, which is equivalent to His income for most of the year can be seen from the huge profits from the Psalm Hall concerts.
Victor said that he would give Lucien half, which meant that Lucien would get thirty to thirty-five golden talers. This is wealth that ordinary civilians can accumulate in decades or even a lifetime, which is equivalent to the civilian area of Viola District.
A beautiful three-story building is equivalent to an ordinary two-story villa with a small garden in the musician's neighborhood of Jisu District.
This also shows the cost of magical experiments.
"I can't refuse, thank you, Mr. Victor." Lucien answered frankly. The lovely, shining yellow coins seemed to have appeared in front of him. More than thirty golden thalers meant that he could buy thirty
With Moonlight Rose powder, you can rent a vacant villa in Jisu District for two or three years. The only problem is that Moonlight Rose is not something you can buy if you want to.
This is not because Lucien wants to leave the slums so quickly, but because his current identity and status no longer allow him to stay in the Aderjan District. This will make people suspect that he is hiding something, and his status as a professor has always been
If you appear in the Aderjan area, leaving as soon as possible can also ensure safety. Besides, the villa can also build a magic laboratory without being discovered, such as a quiet room under the room used to create music.
Of course, Lucien is also a normal person who pursues a better life and a more comfortable life.
After celebrating the success of the concert, just when Phyllis was about to invite everyone to her manor to enjoy the idyllic scenery of the "Harvest Moon", a middle-aged woman wearing a black dress walked in. It was Princess Natasha.
The powerful celestial knight beside you.
"Ms. Camille." Phyllis, Lot, Herodotus and other aristocratic children who had seen her from afar and heard about her deeds all hurriedly saluted solemnly.
When Victor, Lucien and others saw this, they also greeted him with gentlemanly etiquette.
Camille's seriousness destroyed her beauty and dignity, and she said without expression: "Mr. Evans, Her Royal Highness the Princess would like to ask you to be her music consultant. You will go to Lata Summer Palace twice a week to discuss music issues with her for about an hour.
.You will be well rewarded.”
This sentence made the musicians, Phyllis, Lott, Herodotus, and even Victor couldn't help showing expressions of envy, although it would not be difficult for Aalto's musicians to become earls, grand dukes, or even kings of music in other countries.
Advisor, chief court musician, etc., but this is Artaud.
Only Rhine's eyes suddenly turned dark.
Lucien didn't expect that this would happen to him because of just a work, so he subconsciously refused: "I have only been studying music for three months. This work is just an explosion of accumulated inspiration. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve as the music consultant for Her Royal Highness the Princess."
.”
When going to the Lata Summer Palace, which is protected by various magical formations, although there will not be too strict inspections, Natasha herself is a fifth-level knight, and Ms. Camille, who rarely leaves her, is a heavenly knight.
If he is negligent when getting along with them, he may be discovered as a magician.
However, Her Royal Highness the Princess's identity as a music consultant is also very tempting. It is a perfect cover-up identity, and it only lasts for an hour twice a week. If you focus on music, it is not difficult to spend it.
Lucien's refusal made Lott and others look disappointed and surprised.
Camille's expression did not change: "Her Highness the Princess doesn't mind. What she likes is the techniques you use in the music that are not affected by past music trends and your experience in composing theme music, hoping to inspire her."
, Mr. Evans, would you like to?"
Seeing the looks in other people's eyes, Lucien understood that it would be very strange for him to refuse without a proper excuse, so he nodded: "It's an honor to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Thank you very much for your cooperation, Mr. Evans. You will be paid two quintals every month." Camille left.
This is really a generous reward. Lucien instantly increased his salary from ten silver coins a month to twenty-five silver coins an hour. At least before he became an official magician, Lucien didn't have to worry about most of the materials.
Expensed.
And in this way, Lucien has truly become an upper-class person with status and status.
"How jealous, Lucien." Phyllis and Lott congratulated with complicated but honest expressions.
Victor also cast a look of relief and satisfaction.
