Chapter 282 Looking for the answer (seeking a monthly ticket)
When Zheng Qian and others arrived in Riga, the capital of Latvia, it was already the afternoon of the second day after completing the Vilnius concert. As soon as the group landed, they were watched by many media reporters and local music fans at the airport.
There was a huge crowd, and some people kept shouting "Qinna" and "Qinna", which is obviously the homophone of "China".
Because there were so many people, even the airport police took the initiative to line up to help Zheng Qian and others pass.
"Too many people!"
Conductor Song Huiming looked at the dark crowd of heads in front of him, with a strange look in his eyes, "Is our performance so effective?"
"Riga is very close to Vilnius, and the news spreads quickly. What's more, the whole of Europe has now begun to report on this Ruby Concert."
Lou Ze said with a smile: "Being praised by "Gramophone" means that we have a certain reputation in the classical music world, and being reported by "Rolling Stone" magazine is even more outrageous. It has also left our footprints in the European pop music world.
, and even because the readership is wide enough, it directly triggered a confrontation and quarrel."
"This is thanks to Zheng Qian. Without Zheng Qian's "Opera 2" and "Dance of the Goddess", it would not have attracted so much attention."
Liao Min obviously knows better: "As far as I know, many music magazines in Europe are now clamoring that Zheng Qian is a fake. Many people have traveled thousands of miles to Latvia just to see Zheng Qian in person.
Singing these two divine songs that are popular in Europe and the United States, what kind of mentality do you think this is? In order to prove this, the flights from various countries connected to Latvia in the past two days have been full of passengers, and the airlines have to temporarily add additional passengers.
Send a flight..."
Song Yunhui's blood boiled when he heard this, and he was very happy and said to Zheng Qian: "Brother Qian is mighty!"
Zheng Qian waved his hands, looking calm on the surface, but actually he was a little surprised deep down.
No matter how good the performance is, without Liao Min's operation, it would still be far from what it is today. Doesn't it mean that our external publicity is weak?
Once this is taken seriously, the military art symphony can be a sensation in Europe overnight. This is obviously not easy.
Of course, there is also the reason why the Military Art Symphony Orchestra is too ambitious. Mud cannot support the wall. Without perfect performance, no matter how well Liao Min operates, it will not be able to achieve such "attracting bees and butterflies"
Effect.
Ruby Concert Hall arranged a bus pick-up early in the morning.
Before boarding the bus, Zheng Qian also took the initiative to accept some interviews with local media. They were nothing more than some topics about whether "Opera 2" and "Dance of the Goddess" were original. Zheng Qian answered them one by one, neither humble nor overbearing, making the scene unsettling.
Young music fans once again shouted "Qin Na", "Qin Na"!
It took about ten minutes of interview time. After boarding buses, the Military Art Symphony Orchestra slowly left the airport under the attention of countless people.
Riga, the capital of Latvia, has always been known as the "Paris of the North". Along the way, students from the military art academy couldn't help but look out of the car window to appreciate the scenery that was passing by quickly.
Unlike the current state of crazy infrastructure construction in the country, Latvia has completed infrastructure construction, and because it was part of the former Soviet Union, there are many monuments from the 13th to 19th centuries. At the same time, there are also many monuments on both sides of the sidewalk.
Modern cafes and restaurants, the city's commercial and entertainment activities and its prosperity.
Regardless of whether it is Vilnius or Riga, although they are both small countries and far incomparable to the huge size of China, they have very unique architecture and cultural scenery, which dazzled the students one by one, as if they were in Europe and the United States.
In the movie screen.
Soon after arriving at the hotel, everyone began to eat and rest, recuperating in preparation for the performance at the Ruby Music Hall the next day.
Comrades from the Chinese Embassy in Riga also immediately expressed their condolences, especially praising the performance of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra in Vilnius: "Now, your performance has begun to be reported on a large scale in China. Children, come on.
Ah, winning glory for the country does not necessarily mean going into battle to kill the enemy. The wonderful performance you have performed here also brings glory to the country, which is a huge honor!"
All the students were very excited when they heard this, with tears in their eyes and nodding their heads desperately.
I was feeling a little disappointed after being away from my hometown for several days, but I suddenly felt refreshed.
When I think of the 1.3 billion compatriots standing behind me, all the students feel as if they have been given a shot of chicken blood, and their bodies are full of strength.
In the evening, under the introduction of comrades from the embassy, CCTV overseas journalists also arrived at the hotel to interview the students of military arts.
When they heard that they had the opportunity to appear on the Xinwen Network, all the students suddenly felt no longer sleepy, and began to sort out their images one by one, striving to give a perfect impression to the compatriots in the audience in front of the camera.
Zheng Qian did not want to be in the limelight in front of the people of the country, but left this interview opportunity to the students of military arts.
Seeing them enthusiastically answering reporters' questions one by one, Zheng Qian was also filled with joy.
But at the same time, he was also a little wary in his heart. Although this was a good thing, frequently appearing in front of the public was like magnifying their various behaviors with a magnifying glass. Therefore, every next move must be carefully considered.
.
But Zheng Qian's caution was obviously over-cautious. After interviewing the students, the CCTV reporter team also brought a batch of snacks and specialties from his hometown to the students, such as spicy strips, tea, wolfberry, mustard, etc., which greatly impressed the students.
our welcome.
During these few days abroad, the only thing that the students are not used to is the food arrangement. The food is sweet and greasy, which is okay when they first encounter it, but after a long time, they feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this scene, Lou Ze was also very happy. The country's care was so heart-warming.
At this time, the reporter comrade walked towards Zheng Qian, and his expectant eyes made Zheng Qian quite helpless.
This time on the overseas tour, Zheng Qian can be said to be the biggest focus, and his popularity in China is at the top level, and there is no way to avoid it. So with the encouragement from the eyes of Liao Min and Lou Ze, Zheng Qian faced the camera and smiled.
He said: "Please rest assured, our motherland, our military art performance troupe will definitely complete its mission successfully and live up to the expectations of the people of the motherland!"
After the interview, the next day, the person in charge of the Ruby Concert Hall in Riga personally came to pick up the military performance troupe and go to the concert hall for rehearsal.
Everyone was refreshed after a night's rest. When they thought that this performance had attracted much attention in the country, they all immediately got excited. They quickly packed up and started heading to the concert hall to rehearse in preparation for the evening performance.
The Latvian Ruby Concert Hall, also known as the Great Amber Concert Hall, is a single-family, slightly twisted conical building with a transparent amber facade wrapped in an irregular concrete structure. The center is the most important part of the building.
——The Central Concert Hall can accommodate 1,000 people.
Surrounding the concert hall are classrooms, rehearsal rooms, etc. of the local symphony orchestra and music conservatory.
In this way, a good communication place and atmosphere is created among artists, teachers, and students.
When Zheng Qian and others came to the Ruby Concert Hall to rehearse, students from the local music conservatory swarmed in and looked at the Chinese orchestra, which has attracted much attention from the media and public opinion in the past two days.
"Look! That's the Chinese!"
Some students shouted loudly:
"They look exactly the same, I can't tell them apart at all!"
"Where is Zheng? Come out! Shameless impostor!"
"Hey, listen, "Opera 2" was originally sung by a Belarusian. His name is Lomonsky, and he is the greatest singer in Belarus!"
"Boycott them! Don't let them perform in the sacred Ruby Concert Hall, they pollute the air above the Sea of Riga! Shameless Chinese!"
Although many people spoke in Latvian, the angry look of the group made the expressions of the military art students who had just sat down on the bus change slightly. They obviously realized that these students from the local music conservatory did not seem to welcome them.
.
Zheng Qian, Lou Ze and others looked at a translation assistant who was traveling with them.
He was proficient in Lithuanian. Because Latvian and Lithuanian were very close, he could clearly hear the meaning expressed by these local students, so he whispered directly to Zheng Qian and others.
After listening to the explanation given by the translator, Zheng Qian and others looked at each other in shock.
The person in charge of the nearby concert hall saw that the situation was not good and quickly said: "Don't worry, we all know that Zheng Cai is the original singer of "Opera 2". The commentators of "Gramophone" have concluded this, and Romons
Key has never said that he is the original singer of "Opera 2", it is just a misunderstanding among the public, your performance will still go on as usual!"
"Is our safety guaranteed?"
Liao Min asked: "If safety cannot be guaranteed, I suggest canceling this concert. This is an unpredictable risk factor and you should consider it carefully."
When the person in charge heard this, he immediately promised: "Believe me, everyone cherishes this concert performance. No one will spend a thousand euros to come here for unfounded lies!"
What the person in charge of the concert hall said is true. Although the students' information channels are not complete, the tickets in the hands of each audience who come to enjoy the Ruby Concert Hall performance are worth about 500 to 1,000 euros, which is equivalent to
Four thousand to eight thousand RMB.
Anyone who is willing to spend this money basically knows the identity of the original singer of "Opera 2".
Therefore, when Zheng Qian comes to perform here, many fans of "Opera 2" and "Dance of the Goddess" will also rack their brains to come to the concert and listen to this century's strongest tenor in the concert hall.
of singing.
It was said to be a chant like a siren!
What's more, "Victory", the song of "Victory", which was praised by "Gramophone" commentators as too flashy, also attracted the attention of countless music fans.
Therefore, although local students boycotted the concert for various reasons, it did not hinder the performance of the Ruby Concert that started at 6:10 that night.
Audiences from all over Europe and all over the world entered the Ruby Concert Hall with tickets.
The surrounding wall lights are golden yellow, and the seats are as red as roses. Looking at it, the whole scene is like the interior of a huge ruby.
On the central stage, various musical instruments have been placed, looking very high-end and pleasing to the eye.
The audience began to check in and take their seats one by one.
As one of the most popular female singers in the United States, after Gina Indis learned about the performance of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra from the world's pop music magazine "Rolling Stone", she immediately asked her agent to pay a high price to get one from scalpers.
Ruby Concert tickets, and then flew to Latvia to watch this concert that attracted the attention of many musicians.
She really wanted to see if the original singers of "Opera 2" and "Dance of the Goddess", which had been highly praised in the past year, were really capable. You know, even many top singers were not in the best singing condition on the open mic.
Even if you don't use it, you can't perfectly reproduce the effect of the recording studio.
There are many pop singers who have the same idea as Gina, and they are all among the thousands of spectators, enjoying tonight's performance.
Tonight's Ruby Concert has attracted much attention from all over Europe.
This is almost the highest achievement achieved by the Chinese Symphony Orchestra overseas. Its influence is so great that even many Chinese musicians overseas have become popular in an instant. They are invited by various parties or asked about various
Deeds with the Military Art Symphony Orchestra.
However, many Chinese musicians are confused.
It is not that domestic symphony orchestras have never gone overseas in the past, but the influence they achieved is like a drop of water falling into the sea, not worth mentioning.
But now, the Military Art Symphony Orchestra not only transformed into a tornado on the sea, but also had to wait for the shore!
The terrifying influence it produced shook the world music scene!
The shock in the hearts of the Chinese musicians is difficult to explain in words.
It wasn't until later that I heard that the manager Lou Ze and the lead singer Zheng Qian were also in this team that I had a little enlightenment.
But they still couldn't believe that the Chinese Symphony Orchestra broke out of the encirclement under the encirclement of Western countries.
This is obviously incredible.
Because of the differences in culture, education, thought, language, etc., the differences between the East and the West cannot be integrated within a period of time. Since we cannot communicate, how can we be popular?
But now, everything has been overturned!
Not just Chinese musicians, but many musicians with Asian faces are also in disbelief.
Therefore, in addition to audiences from European countries, Asian faces accounted for one-third of the people who came to the Ruby Concert Hall.
Musicians from Japan, Korea, Thailand and other countries could not bear their curiosity and arrived at the Ruby Concert Hall in person to watch this performance that stirred up the world's music scene.
Everyone wants to find the answer tonight.
The arrival of pop singers such as Gina has obviously attracted a lot of attention.
There is no doubt that the Military Art Symphony Orchestra not only attracted musicians of classical music, but the position of pop music was also breached.
"Double eating!"
"Win-win!"
The minds of musicians are becoming more and more active. Many people have long been greedy for the behavior of pop music to harvest the world's traffic and audiences and make a lot of money. If you can get a glimpse of the secret of the popularity of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra, then something like this
