This star’s style is wrong

Along with Lu Xiang'er and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's "Butterfly Lovers" themed concert tour, they performed in various European countries.

There are more and more foreign media reports.

At the beginning, foreign entertainment media reported on the name of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

After all, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is an internationally ranked symphony orchestra, and entertainment news still has to give this orchestra a certain amount of space.

With more and more reports, the names and posters of Lu Xianger and "Butterfly Lovers" have appeared more and more in the entertainment media, making more and more foreign audiences aware of such a violinist from the East.

If you are just a little-known musician, it will be difficult to get the attention of foreign audiences.

However, Lu Xiang'er just has the Paganini Gold Medal, an award that he can win.

This is where awards come in.

When the audience doesn't know a performer or star, they see it on the entertainment news one day, and then take a second look and discover... Hey, he has won such a valuable award.

In this case, the performer and star will be much higher in the impression of the ordinary audience.

In addition, famous performers such as Patrick Pate have praised "Butterfly Lovers" highly.

More and more foreign audiences are interested in this concert.

Especially those who often attend concerts, they listen to the music of Beethoven, Chopin, and Mozart all year round.

Now there is a violin concerto from the East, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", and it has been praised by many performers.

Audiences who like symphonies will be more or less interested in this concerto.

If you are a symphony lover who is interested in Eastern culture, you will be more interested in listening to such a concert.

therefore.

Starting from the third "Butterfly Lovers" themed concert held at the Amsterdam Concert Hall in the Netherlands, the proportion of foreign audiences began to increase.

For domestic audiences, flying to a foreign country to attend a concert is indeed a troublesome matter.

Air tickets and tickets are expensive, and you have to take a flight. It is difficult to go there and back on the same day. You have to stay in a hotel, and it takes at least two days to go there.

Therefore, the proportion of domestic audience purchasing tickets began to decline.

However, the proportion of foreign audiences has increased, and concert tickets are still hard to come by.

…

After New Year's Day.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er took a two-day break and went to Vienna to listen to Patrick Pater's Tchaikovsky concert.

Tickets were given by Patrick Pate.

The performer personally gave away the tickets, so it would be slightly rude not to go.

Moreover, Fang Xing also wanted to hear how much the Austrian violinist's level had improved.

The reason why I want to know about his playing level is because his name is on the entry list for the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition held in Most in May.

Things just happened.

Lu Xiang'er was also going to participate in the Tchaikovsky International Competition in May, but she met this fat man from Austria again.

Moreover, the current concerts held by Patrick Pate are all Tchaikovsky special performances, playing all Tchaikovsky's famous works.

This is now in preparation for the competition in May.

In fact.

The same goes for Lu Xiang'er and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's "Butterfly Lovers" themed concert.

The name of the concert is the "Butterfly Lovers" theme concert, but it is impossible for a normal concert to only perform the "Butterfly Lovers" concerto.

After all, "Butterfly Lovers" only lasts 26 minutes, and the concert will take at least two hours.

Therefore, the rest of the time was all about Tchaikovsky’s famous music.

…

The venue for Patrick Pater's concerts is the Vienna State Opera.

This opera house is one of the most famous in the world and rarely rents out.

In other words, it is difficult to hold a concert at the Vienna State Opera even if you have money.

Vienna is the capital of Austria, and Patrick Pater is an Austrian.

As an Austrian violinist, he has special treatment and holds concerts at the Vienna State Opera.

The concert was a success.

After all, Patrick Pater is already a famous violinist, and he is still collaborating with the Austrian Symphony Orchestra.

After listening to the concert, Lu Xiang'er was stunned.

Fang Xing shook her hand and asked, "Are you getting nervous?"

Lu Xiang'er nodded and replied: "One thing, I didn't expect to meet him again."

Fang Xing smiled and reassured: "On the road of music, we only need to surpass ourselves, not others."

Lu Xiang'er nodded and replied, "I know, but I'm still nervous."

A big reason why she was nervous was because she had to use "Butterfly Lovers" to compete.

A concerto that is not internationally well-known is actually a disadvantage for participating in the competition.

Fang Xing asked, "Why don't we change the song. If we change it to a world-famous song, we'd be more confident."

However, Lu Xiang'er shook her head and insisted: "When I first decided to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition, I just wanted to play "Butterfly Lovers" at the competition venue. Even if I don't win the prize, I will stick to this decision."

Fang Xing nodded and said: "In that case, then try your best to compete. Regardless of winning or losing, as long as you stand on the stage and play "Butterfly Lovers", you will have achieved your goal."

Lu Xiang'er smiled and joked: "What if I can't pass the first round?"

The Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition has a total of three rounds.

"Butterfly Lovers" must be played in the last round, which means that you must at least get through the first two rounds before you have the chance to play "Butterfly Lovers".

"That means your level has declined." Fang Xing insulted her without any politeness.

Lu Xiang'er curled her lips and hummed, "I don't have one."

While the two were talking, the surrounding audience had almost left the stage.

"Let's go. Let's go back to the hotel to rest first. We have to catch the morning flight home tomorrow." Fang Xing said, holding her hand and standing up.

At this moment.

Patrick Pate came out from backstage, walked down the steps from the playing stage to the audience, walked up to the two people, and said in English: "Thank you for coming to my concert."

He waited backstage for a long time, but didn't see Fang Xing and the other two going backstage, so he took the initiative to look for them in front.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er had been talking just now, and the other audience members had all left. There were very few audience members left in the concert hall.

So Patrick Pate saw the two of them at a glance.

Fang Xing stretched out his hand to shake his hand and congratulated: "The performance was a success, congratulations!"

"Thank you, do you still want to listen to next week's concert? I have reserved the tickets." Patrick Pate was ready to continue giving away tickets.

Fang Xing quickly stopped him and said, "Maybe not next week. The schedule is quite full recently."

To attend a concert, you have to delay at least a day or two. Lu Xiang'er has a concert to hold every week, plus the weekly rehearsal time, time is indeed a bit tight.

Besides, this fat Austrian guy was a bit over-enthusiastic. He took his ticket and it would be inappropriate not to participate, so I had to decline.

Patrick Pate also understood very well. He took out his hand from the inner pocket of his suit and said, "Okay. I will go to your concert when I have time. See you in Moscow in May."

Apparently he had also seen the entry list for the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition.

"Okay, see you in May." Lu Xiang'er agreed.

This can be regarded as a friendly competition, and they meet again in the international arena after four years.

One is the Paganini Gold Medal and the other is the Paganini Silver Medal.

And this time the competition location is the cold city near the Arctic Circle.

…

After coming out of the Vienna State Opera House, Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er met foreign reporters at the door.

A few days ago, the entry list for the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition was announced, and the name of Patrick Pate was on the list.

Austrian entertainment reporters must of course find a way to interview this Austrian violinist.

Before waiting for Patrick Pate, the Austrian reporter saw Lu Xianger first.

Now, apart from China, Lu Xiang'er is the most well-known in Austria.

After all, the famous Austrian violinist was beaten by a girl from the East in the Paganini Competition.

The more famous Patrick Pate becomes in Austria, the more famous Lu Xiang'er will be.

Especially this time, Lu Xiang'er's collaboration with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra has raised her popularity to another level.

Therefore, the Austrian reporter recognized Lu Xiang'er and hurried forward for an interview.

The Austrian reporter asked in English: "Excuse me, are you the violinist Miss Lu?"

Lu Xiang'er did not expect to meet a foreign reporter, so she quickly corrected her attitude and replied: "I am Lu Xiang'er."

Austrian reporter: “Excuse me, did you come to Patrick’s concert to gather information for the competition in May?”

Lu Xiang'er was stunned for a moment: "Uh... no."

Fang Xing added helpfully: "We were invited by Mr. Patrick to attend the concert."

Austrian reporter: "Miss Lu, you and Mr. Patrick will participate in the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition in May, which means you will become rivals again. After listening to Mr. Patrick's concert, what do you think of his performance? How is the level?"

Lu Xiang'er nodded and replied: "Mr. Patrick is very powerful. I admire his professionalism and friendliness."

While the two were answering questions from Austrian journalists.

There was a microphone next to him, and he handed it over very skillfully.

Fang Xing took a closer look and found that it was a familiar face. He was clearly the reporter who made the news.

The Austrian reporter saw the media's logo on the handed microphone and was immediately dissatisfied: "Hey! Man, you should line up at the back and come up after I finish asking."

The Austrian reporter was conducting the interview with a cameraman, and now he stretched out a microphone with the media's logo on it. This caused the camera lens to include the logo of the exciting news.

Fang Xing looked at the Provoking News reporter and said, "We are not going to run away. We will accept your interview later."

The domestic entertainment news industry is very complex. Without competition, it would be difficult to obtain first-hand interview materials.

Moreover, Provocative News is the king of volume in the domestic entertainment news industry.

However, now Fang Xing agreed to be interviewed.

The agitated news reporter took back his microphone and stood aside waiting.

The cameraman behind him continued to shoot.

After the Austrian reporter finished asking questions, the agitation news reporter came forward for an interview.

Fang Xing was a little curious and asked, "Why are you here? Most of the audience at this concert are foreigners. There shouldn't be anything worthy of your interview, right?"

The reporter from the Provoking News grinned and said, "We are here specifically for Mr. Fang."

Fang Xing frowned and asked, "How did you know we were coming to this concert?"

The reporter from Provoking News smiled and replied: "I found out through special channels."

He didn't say it clearly, but he should keep the whistleblower secret.

There were a lot of people backstage when Patrick Pate gave away the tickets that day, so it's not surprising that the news leaked out.

Fang Xing smiled helplessly and said, "Okay. If you have anything to ask, just ask."

Before the reporters came, they had already done their homework and started asking questions:

"I heard that Mr. Fang and Miss Lu came here to attend the concert after receiving tickets from an Austrian violinist in person. Is that true?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied: "Patrick gave me the tickets."

Stirring News Reporter: "Do you know that Patrick Pate is also planning to participate in the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition in May?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "I saw it a few days ago."

Exciting News Reporter: "Does this mean that Miss Lu Xiang'er will be on the court with Patrick Pate again? Miss Lu Xiang'er, as a Paganini gold medalist, are you confident in defeating the silver medalist again?"

Lu Xiang'er shook her head and replied: "I'm not sure, but I will try my best to compete."

Agitated News reporter: "From Miss Lu Xiang'er's tone, she doesn't seem to have much confidence."

Lu Xiang'er frowned and didn't know how to answer.

Fang Xing smiled and interjected: "Don't push her. She is not me. She dares to brag with anyone. Modesty is a traditional virtue of our country. Don't take it out of context and write it out. Let us concentrate on preparing for the competition in May."

The reporter from Agitated News replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Fang, we like to make big news, but when it comes to big things like winning glory for the country, we can still handle it clearly."

As he spoke, he let the camera pan across the Austrian National Opera House behind the two of them, and continued to ask: "A month ago, when Miss Lu Xianger held a concert, she chose the Golden Hall. Why not choose the Austrian National Opera House?"

Lu Xiang'er was a little confused: "I don't know, I didn't prepare the concert."

Fang Xing added: "You must have done your homework before coming here, and you asked knowingly, right? The Austrian State Opera House is rarely rented to outside parties, so only Austrian performers like Patrick Pater can hold concerts here. "

The journalists who stirred up the news have indeed done their homework and asked this question on purpose.

He continued to ask: "Austria really admires their country's performers very much. As far as I know, Patrick Pate holds more than ten concerts in this opera house every year.

"How do you feel when you see Austria praising its own performer, Miss Lu Xianger, so much?"

Lu Xiang'er was confused again, blinked and said, "I don't have any thoughts. Austria treats their country's musicians better, it's normal." (End of Chapter)
