All the audience members were unbearably excited. They stood up one by one, applauded, and showed kind smiles as they watched all the members of the symphony orchestra and choir leave.
Zheng Qian walked off the stage and met up with Lou Ze and Liao Min. The three hugged each other and then led the excited students away.
"Really, when I just played, my hands were shaking a little!"
"In such a big scene, I am not weak at all! I am so awesome!"
"Old Song's command is still good. I don't feel nervous anymore when I look at him!"
"I'm not nervous at all. Yugyeom's brother Zhuyu is in front of me. I'm so scared that I can't wait to play with him for three days and three nights!"
"Have you seen those foreigners? They are all yelling and talking, and they have never seen the world at all."
"The three songs that Brother Qian echoed back and forth are really soaring, and the high notes are like flying to Mount Everest!"
The students left in groups, discussing some of the highlight moments of the performance.
There is no doubt that this is a perfect and brilliant performance. Just look at the excitement of those Lithuanians. Music knows no boundaries or languages. As long as it is exciting enough, it can bring the most direct enjoyment to the world.
.
At that time, George, the person in charge of the music hall, had been waiting backstage for a long time. When he saw the performance team of the Military Medical College appearing backstage, he immediately walked forward and greeted enthusiastically in English: "Hi, Miss Liao, congratulations on your completion.
A great performance that brings wonderful music from the East to Lithuanians! This is really a magical musical journey!"
Liao Min shook hands with the other party in surprise: "Mr. George, thank you for your compliment. Our team is very happy to come to Lithuania..."
Lou Ze whispered to Zheng Qian from behind: "These foreign devils change their faces so quickly. They didn't even pay attention to us during the rehearsal before. If the Chinese in Lithuania hadn't almost booked all the tickets, they might not have allowed us to perform here...
…”
Zheng Qian nodded. He had learned about these situations before.
Almost half of the attendees were Chinese, with only a third of them being Lithuanian natives, and most of the tickets for these Lithuanians were donated by local Chinese.
Of course, the results achieved by the team's performance have obviously exceeded expectations.
That's why George, the person in charge of the music hall, couldn't wait to come over to communicate. He changed his previous cold attitude and became enthusiastic. The smile on his face never fell, and his eyes glanced in Zheng Qian's direction from time to time. His expression
There was a slight look of amazement.
After Liao Min communicated with George in English for a while, she turned to Zheng Qian and Lou Ze and said, "Did you hear that? They want us to perform another show, and they will pay 20% of the ticket sales."
In Lithuania, the ticket price for a classical concert performance ranges from 69 euros to 328 euros. The higher the position, the higher the price. Especially the price of the front row on the first floor, which is equivalent to more than 2,500 yuan in RMB.
A concert comes first, and the ticket revenue alone is at least 1.5 million yuan.
With 20% of the ticket revenue, there is a minimum income of 300,000 RMB.
Of course Zheng Qian doesn't care about the income of 300,000 yuan. In China, his performance fee for one song is more than that.
However, when he turned to look at the group of excited students behind him, he suddenly felt that the amount of income was secondary, but the sense of honor and cohesion it brought to the children was obviously huge.
So he hesitated for a moment and then said to Lou Ze: "Teacher, you decide, I don't care."
Of course, Lou Ze knew that Zheng Qian's worth was much more than that, so when he saw Zheng Qian's statement, he was suddenly moved. He patted Zheng Qian on the shoulder, but did not express his statement immediately. Instead, he looked at Liao Min and said, "Secretary Liao
,What do you think?"
Liao Min glanced at George, who was waiting expectantly for a reply, and said in Chinese: "I think... it's not necessary."
Lou Ze smiled and said, "The reason?"
"The reason is very simple. Our itinerary is fixed. If we are delayed for a day or two in Lithuania, then other itineraries will inevitably need to be adjusted again..."
Liao Min paused and then said: "First of all, I want to make it clear that I am not doing it out of selfishness and want to save unnecessary trouble, but out of consideration for the entire team."
"Zheng Qian, Lou Ze, have you ever thought about it, when we start touring concert halls in European countries, if the effect of each of our performances can reach what it is today, and we cooperate with some publicity, your fame will be
It is bound to reach the highest peak..."
"At that time, countless concert halls will invite you, and the ticket revenue given to you here in Lithuania is only 30,000 to 40,000 euros. In the near future, or rather soon, your performance revenue will double."
"Today, the effect of our performance in Lithuania has actually been achieved. There is no need to put in more energy here. We can just perform one by one according to the established schedule. We can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
"Let me tell you one more thing. There are actually many professional musicians and music commentators at the scene. They all came here by 'chance', and they will spread the word about your performance today. They are described as certain in the industry.
sensation."
Liao Min's smile showed a kind of strategizing confidence: "Since you have asked me to be your guide, it means that the leaders are still paying close attention to our team. We will support everything behind you. You only need to take one step at a time.
Just keep your feet on the ground and perform according to the set schedule. Don’t think too much about everything else, everything will ‘just go with the flow’!”
Zheng Qian looked at her, was silent for a while, and then said to Lou Ze: "I think Teacher Liao is right."
Lou Ze smiled: "I also think Secretary Liao is right."
Liao Min nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at George.
George had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw them chattering in unintelligible Chinese, he felt a little anxious.
The music hall is actually idle during daily hours and has no income. It will only open when well-known orchestras and musicians hold concerts.
To put it simply, it means that it does not open for three years, and it lasts for three years after opening.
As for the performance troupe of the military art academy, the performance was so effective that it was the first time in his career that he had seen it. Moreover, the performance of these Chinese people was so exciting that he really didn't want to miss this show and had even planned to buy the tickets.
The income increased by another 10%.
However, Liao Min's answer made him feel like he was in a cold cellar: "I'm sorry, Mr. George, for keeping you waiting for so long. We discussed it and decided not to hold it again, because our team has already made an appointment for the next stop, Latvian Ruby.
It’s difficult to change the concert hall, but don’t worry, if there is a chance, we will come to Lithuania to perform again.”
George was stunned: "Is there no chance? I can increase the income by another 10%!"
Liao Min, Zheng Qian and others looked at each other and shook their heads.
George's face instantly turned pale.
However, he was not desperate. He recovered instantly and quickly took out his business card from his arms and handed it to Liao Min with both hands: "Miss Liao, please accept my business card. Next time you come to Vilnius, please come to Vilnius as soon as possible."
Contact me."
Liao Min took the business card with a smile.
Then George raised his head and looked at Zheng Qian: "Sir, could you please take a photo with us? I have an illusion that you will definitely be a world-famous tenor in the future."
Zheng Qian was a little surprised.
However, he did not refuse, walked up to shake hands with George, and with the help of the staff, took a photo with George.
A few years later, this early photo of Zheng Qian in Lithuania became evidence that Zheng Qian had performed in Lithuania, a small country. It was hung in the music museum opened by the local music association in the Vilnius Concert Hall for local and even the world.
Exhibition of fans.
After the performance in Lithuania, the military art team began to move towards Lithuania's neighboring country, Latvia.
After their performance, under the operation of Liao Min, music magazines across Europe, as well as professional and unprofessional music commentators, more or less reported on the performance of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra from China in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Wonderful performance.
Among them, the identity of the original singer of two songs that are popular all over the world, "Opera 2" and "Dance of the Goddess", is highlighted.
For a time, people from Europe and the United States who were not interested in classical music halls were attracted by this gimmick.
"What? These two divine songs are actually sung by Chinese people!"
"What a joke! Only us pure Muscovites can really master the Russian pronunciation of "Opera 2"!"
"No, it's obviously a divine song composed by us Finns!"
"I once heard the original singer of "Opera 2" in Belarus. I am convinced that the original singer is our Belarusian. His name is Romonsky!"
"Brother, I'm afraid he wasn't lip-syncing! This newspaper clearly introduced the experience of Zheng, the original singer of "Opera 2", and he is going to tour in Europe now. If he is a fake, he still dares to perform in Europe
Touring?”
"Ah! I am a fan of "Opera 2"! I want to watch it. Is the next stop... the Ruby Concert Hall?"
"Third stop in Warsaw? Damn it, I was hurt by an exquisite Warsaw woman, and I vowed never to set foot in Poland again! It seems I have to make an exception! God forgive me!"
"Zheng! I'm coming!"
Compared with the entire performance, it is obvious that Europe is more interested in the two divine comedies "Opera 2" and "Dance of the Goddess" that are popular around the world. The high notes of these two divine comedies have been regarded as classics by countless treble fans.
Classic, every soprano singer has the ultimate goal of challenging the high notes of these two divine songs.
This has caused the status of "Opera 2" and "Dance of the Goddess" to rise throughout Europe and the United States.
But now, the original author and original singer of the two divine songs worshiped by everyone is actually a Chinese!
This is something that no one expected. Even if they had heard such news before, no one wanted to believe it, but it’s different now. They actually came directly to Europe for a tour!
The facts are before our eyes. Countless media reports have been made public, and even the tour schedule of the military art academy has been exposed one by one. If this was false, I am afraid that the so-called original singers in European and American countries would have publicly complained!
For a time, tickets for concerts in various countries related to the military art tour were being snapped up.
Not only singers in the pop world, fans are rushing to buy them, but also fans in the classical music world also regard the tickets for the Military Symphony Orchestra's concerts as treasures.
Because in the latest issue of Gramophone, the most famous music magazine in the classical music world, a commentator expressed his opinion on the performance of the Military Symphony Orchestra in Vilnius.
In the review, commentator Jerome called the performance "the hymn of angels"!
Not only did the scene be described as being like heaven, but the singing voice of the soul character Zheng Qian was described as the sound of nature. Many readers were so excited that they wanted to buy a plane ticket and fly to the scene to listen to the performance of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra.
"This is the first time I heard Chinese singing. Such singing can catch everyone's ears in an instant, not only "Opera 2" and "Dance of the Goddess". At the end of the whole performance, a song "
The song "Victory" made the audience's blood boil and they couldn't contain their excitement!"
"Believe me, such a band will be the center of attention no matter where it goes!"
"Each of them is very young, incredibly young! Everyone has their own musical talent, and when they get together during the performance, they perform in one go, with almost no mistakes!"
"In the conductor's rhythm, they work together to create a huge magical sound!"
"And Mr. Zheng seems to be the soul of it!"
"Where there is soul, there is music!"
"At the moment when the climax was about to end, I realized that music can not only calm you, but also make you crazy!"
"Thank you for this great performance, which moved me, inspired me to pursue the spirit of joy from music, and reminded me never to forget to persist in my ideals..."
A long essay, with as many as 2,000 words put together, made all readers of "Gramophone" doubtful!
This is too much!
Did "Gramophone" also start charging money to do things?
Fall! This rotten real world!
However, most people are still interested, especially for Zheng Qian. People want to witness this legendary singer in person.
Many people began to inquire about the tour performances of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra.
For a time, the tickets for the Military Art Symphony Orchestra's performance were extremely expensive and were sold out in an instant. The tickets reserved for the public were extremely rare.
This has also led to a rapid increase in scalper ticket prices. Tickets for a recent Latvian Ruby concert even exceeded a thousand euros on the scalper market!
This also instantly made many concert halls in various countries that have already cooperated with the Military Art Symphony Orchestra smile from ear to ear with joy!
I originally thought it would be a money-losing product, but I didn’t expect it to become a rare treasure in an instant!
It’s incredible!
As for those music halls that had pre-sold their tickets early, they all gritted their teeth and regretted it endlessly, but at the same time they were extremely happy. This was an opportunity to promote local concerts!
So when Zheng Qian and others arrived in the capital of Latvia with the Military Art Symphony Orchestra, they received enthusiastic attention from the officials and media, sweeping away the cold reception they had received at Vilnius International Airport.
