musicians of old

"My God, what on earth did you think of it?"

Roy leaned over and looked at Fan Ning carefully, as if trying to figure out why he had so many ideas in his head.

"Let me think about it, some big chaebols and big factory owners have indeed tried this model on the sales side. 'Chain stores' provide standardized marketing services for customers. They have their own 'brands'. But in arts management? 'Cinema chains'? That sounds very unrealistic at first."

"Whether it is a church, an opera house or a concert hall, it has always been a model where the troupe stays in the hall and the hall is integrated. The 'tour' system has only been solidified in the past 100 years. The main reason is that it is too different from the factory. Those industrial products only need to be mass-produced, and then solve the problems of warehouse, transportation and sales store decoration, but commercial performances in the field of art are not assembly line production. The production and consumption links are limited by time and space, and must be agreed to be carried out at the same time in an instant. , so in the field of art, except for the name of the big bands with a brand name, there is no real 'art commodity brand', and the emergence of record companies is just an extra layer of technical packaging."

"But I suddenly felt that our management model does have a large number of unprecedented highlights in the industry, which can be replicated and promoted as the 'brand standard' of the 'cinema chain'!"

Fan Ning kept smiling quietly, watching her make gestures and analysis.

"You see, we have an 'art naming' system with high taste and style, wide acclaim from major customers, and a wide range of personalized solutions; in our performance schedule, there are both high-priced and high-level ceiling-level concerts , there is also a "Born to Love Music" popular concert with a fair level but extremely low price; we have a message wall system that can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the audience for communication; Knowledge popularization and lyrics scrolling car; there are also music lectures and interviews we hold in the afternoon session from time to time, which can bring you to a theoretical discussion from time to time, or allow musicians to share their artistic life; and also, Even the exquisite grade and deliciousness of the tea break cannot be enjoyed in other places.”

"Ah, I can't list all the characteristics of the Turner Hall of the Arts. In short, there are none in other concert halls! Once the management model of this system is replicated and promoted, will colleagues in other places be dumbfounded? ? But I don’t care if they are stupid or not, I just want to see how the Special Inspection Office will praise us in the discussion group briefing.”

"Why do you just smile and not talk?"

Roy stretched out his palm, and waved it to Fanning's face, and then again.

"Its construction cost should not exceed four digits at the beginning, and it should be controlled within the range of 500-800 pounds. The consumer price will be reduced by ten times on the basis of ten times reduction, that is, one hundred times. The number of its theaters will increase. There are so many. In my impression, it is just a small town of Gogol, and there are more than 25 towns below it. Even the East Mecklen District of the urban area has 11 blocks below it. There are definitely more than 300 tertiary theaters established! The cost is 20 pounds!"

Fan Ning was silent for a while, then slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Really? Then let me continue." Fanning shook his head and smiled.

"But it should be noted that there are a lot of them. In Uflandsel alone, I have the impression that there are 15 or 16 administrative divisions at the 'regional' or 'small town' level, which may cost more than 10 Thousands of pounds of funds."

"There is no good way except to let it go for a while." Fan Ning said calmly, "In the current partners and team, all the people I mentioned are suitable to be the deputy of this cause, but the person who can lead, except me, Just you."

"Nope."

"This level is called 'Turner Museum of Art', and its specifications must be of 'excellent professional standards'. Its performances are mainly chamber music ensembles and soloists, and musicians can organize 4-5 small-scale symphony performances a year. It is enough. In my plan, its building cost must not exceed five figures at first, and it is better to control it in the range of 5000-8000 pounds. The consumption level will also be reduced by ten times, just like my dad’s once. The folk Turner Art Museum is the same as its predecessor."

According to Fan Ning's idea, this requires at least the establishment of a four-level management organization of headquarters + county + region + small town. Music resources at all levels will be used in large quantities. The operation of a huge organization sometimes has unimaginable internal costs. , the workload involved in the management of people, property and property is extremely terrifying!
"...So, since the headquarters is in Uvransel, we will first develop theaters in this city, and wait until the construction of secondary venue academies in 15 regions or small towns, and tertiary venue academies in more than 300 blocks or towns After the completion, when the operation is on the right track, we will sum up the experience and gains and losses, and copy and migrate this set of big shelves to Fort Santa Ramos and San Porto, so that we will move steadily and steadily, step by step, seek depth first, and then breadth!"

Roy pursed his lips tightly and began to calculate the cost behind it.

Fanning picked up the guitar leaning on the side, bowed his head and plucked the strings but made no sound:

"You're also wandering here and there." Roy looked at him.

"So what will you do if I don't agree?"

Fanning smiled and shook his head to avoid her line of sight:

"At least I will feel that I don't understand your thoughts."

"Looking at the third-level standard, this level is called 'Turner Art Museum'. It needs to cover every block or town below a region or a small town, and serve the residents of the small town and nearby rural villagers. The level must be 'half Professional' or 'top amateur' level, the performance mainly relies on the guidance of several professional musicians + recruits local well-known country musicians + music lovers to entertain themselves together, if you can perform 1-2 small symphonies a year, That is the very well-run 'Art House'."

"The 'chain theater chain' I plan to lay out is different from all the opera houses and concert halls in various countries. Generally speaking, the latter are mostly built at the level of county towns. The logic is easy to understand: serious music It is considered "elegant art" by the world, and only the art taste and consumption ability of citizens in big cities can match the construction and operation costs of such large art venues."

"will not."

"Neither."

"The next time you contact me, you can follow this idea and hand in the project assignment." Fan Ning smiled.

Roy took a deep breath, and his shoulders began to tremble slightly with excitement.

You practiced a piece of music with painstaking efforts, some people really want to hear your performance but have no chance, some people sit beside your piano but play with their own things with their heads down;
A place reminds you of memories, a poem makes you smile, a performance brings tears to your eyes, obviously because of the nostalgia of the old days or purely artistic touch, but some people will only think that it must have come from See things and think about people's 'love between men and women', and he/she may still be your good friend or lover. "

Her expression is full of confidence, and her voice is full of confidence.

"I haven't heard of it." The girl shook her head honestly, her eyes sparkling with a smile, "But I've seen this scene before. Once Mr. Fanning's movements still need to be made into a phrase, there must be some novel movements that no one has ever heard of."

"Or Uvransel?" Roy was a little confused now, "Although this is also a big city with extremely developed industries and strong consumption levels, our reputation has already been capped. In the future, this will be the headquarters of the Turner Art Hall. Wrong, but is there any room for further manipulation?"

Roy finally showed serious thinking.

Fanning smiled mysteriously at this moment:
"Have you ever heard the term 'channel sinking'?"

"How much a person cherishes a thing, how much he cares about a goal, how sad he will be when he fails to achieve his wish, especially if there is a person who was able to help him, but in the end he failed to understand him or help him."

Roy was looking up, and she could see that she didn't believe it at all.

"What a person cherishes or pursues for himself is likely to be worthless in the eyes of others."

"You won't be sad even if you are sad? You must not have told me the truth."

"No, what you said is to be done, but it is the second major step." Fan Ning shook his head, "The first step we are doing is still in Uvransel."

Roy couldn't help but comment at this moment.

"At least it will be sad, right?"

"You are really easy to understand." Fan Ning deliberately nodded deeply in praise, and then slowly explained.

"The secondary standard is to cover all the 'districts' within the jurisdiction of a county. Take the current Uvransel as an example, including not only the inner and outer Lenia districts, the Pushore district, the South Wharf district, and the Dongmei district. The Karen District... also includes the "small towns" that are on the same level as the "region" after going out of the city limits, such as the small town of Gogoli, the small town of Langefni, the small town of Wafus in the lowlands, and the small town of Mertraun..."

"Is there something I said wrong? Come and teach me."

I just said that I would cover [-] major cities in various countries at one go...

"It used to sound expensive, but now it looks like it's not."

He was actually referring to his student days in his previous life.

"However, the concept of Turner Art Hall has been different since its establishment. We not only pursue top-level artistic standards and top-level commercial profitability, but also pursue the popularization and enlightenment of the light of art in the world. The construction of theaters in big cities is naturally the most important thing. It is the most important thing, but apart from the counties, people in all regions, small towns and even villages should not be ignored. In my plan, there are three levels of construction standards for the Turner Art Hall Circuit—"

"Miss Roy." Fanning called her name with a complicated expression at this time, "so I say, this onerous business will make people tired, although Sheeran, Lou, Olga and Congreve People will also help you, I will arrange at least four 'deputy principals' positions for them, in charge of different directions as assistance, our chief flute lady will be of great help when she recovers her strength in the future, but once it is really handed over Given your leadership, not to mention the specific workload, at least in the next few years, I am afraid that you and the colleagues who are committed to this cause will be in the middle of wandering around."

"Well, but originally, the leader of this matter should be me, my own thoughts, and I will complete it myself."

"Then let's discuss quickly, where should we open the next home and the next home Turner Art Hall?" Roy withdrew his small hand, looked around and thought about it, "Personally, I think it must be the imperial capital Santaram Castle first, and then the Western Continent In San Porto, the 'capital of art' of the Janus Kingdom, folk art venues are blooming all over the place, and the local politicians will definitely not reject a cultural investment team with a reputation, high attainments, deep pockets, and advanced management."

"Moreover, it's not at all because of your 'how good', 'how unique your taste', 'how rich your spiritual world is', nor because of 'how bad', 'how vulgar your taste', 'spiritual world' How scarce the world is, just because you are not others and others are not you."

The girl folded her arms and stared at him: "It's really difficult to be the dean of the old music academy. I misunderstood it before, and the degree of difficulty is much higher than the head of the old symphony orchestra."

"Miss Roy, in fact, I understood a truth when I was very young."

"The first-level standard is the current base camp of Uvransel, or what you just said, the cinemas built in Fort Santaram and San Porto in the future. It must be built according to world-class artistic standards. We Based on previous experience, according to the standard of personnel and facilities of Turner Art Hall, each construction of such a concert hall requires an initial investment ranging from 5 to 8 pounds, depending on the cost of land, building materials, and labor in each city."

Looking at it this way, it's not what I thought at first. Instead, the cost of the first-level theaters in each county is the smallest, and the burden becomes heavier the further you go!
Even if the Uvransel "base camp" with a first-level theater line has been built, it will cost more than 15 pounds to cover all 300 regions/small towns + more than 30 blocks/towns. The behemoth of Lambeau probably cost more than 50 pounds!

"So if I refuse, you will definitely be dissatisfied with me."

"I just said a title, and you're almost done writing the article."

Roy was taken aback when he heard this.

A starting capital of more than 200 million pounds sounds scary, but according to Mr. Fanning's style of play, it is not enough to play a few times!
However, the plan sounds like...

"Even if we expand 200 theaters in one go, the cost will only be more than [-] million pounds. Mr. Kaplan's initial capital can basically support it, and this can already cover most of the first-tier cities in various countries... Besides , In fact, theater chains are built one by one, and the time schedule is smooth. Considering that everything is going well and the continuous profit is coming in, and considering the cultural subsidies provided by the authorities of various countries, this is not a burden."

She finally understood why Fan Ning had to do "music rescue" and "art popularization" before, which was all laying the foundation work.

If this plan can be fully realized, the territory and feat achieved are simply too great.

"You save money to buy tickets, and you spend hours driving to the concert. Others have channels to get free tickets directly, and there is a special car to pick them up directly, but he may not even listen to it, and miss the performance time directly. , or transfer the ticket to others at will;

"In addition, what I need to add is that all these theaters combine performance and teaching functions into one. The old Conservatory of Music would have a corresponding 'training branch' at each level, even the lower the level. , the proportion of the teaching function is even more important, it needs to provide a platform for all people who are eager to learn music to get in touch with their dreams..."

"I understand, this is 'channel sinking'." She thought for a long time, then calmed down and said, "I know why you said that laying out the major counties and cities is the second step. If the first step is to do this, the front line If it is stretched too long, and when it goes down to the second and third levels, I am afraid that the management will be a mess."

"The things you cherish and desire are likely to be as light as dust in the eyes of others. Therefore, I will never expect others to carry my own thoughts and move forward. That is very self-righteous and smart."

"So the reverse is also true, right?" Roy asked softly at this time.

"What do you mean?" Fanning was puzzled.

"Your careless thoughts may also be regarded as your own in the eyes of others."

Happy holidays and the last sentence is Roy's best wishes to you.
