This star is wrong

Along with Lu Xianger and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's "Blessed Lovers" theme concert tour, he 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 a well-ranked symphony orchestra in the world, and entertainment news still needs to give this orchestra a certain amount of space.

With more and more reports, the names and posters of Lu Xianger and "The Butterfly Lovers" appeared more and more in the entertainment media, allowing more and more foreign audiences to know about this violinist from the East.

If it is just an unknown musician, it is difficult to get the attention of foreign audiences.

However, Lu Xianger happens to have the prestigious Paganini Gold Award.

That's what awards do.

When the audience didn't know a performer or star, they saw it on the entertainment news one day, and then took a second look, and found... Hey, they have won such a high-value award.

In this case, this performer and star will be greatly elevated in the impression of ordinary audiences.

Coupled with famous performers such as Patrick Pater, "Blessings of Love" has been highly praised.

More and more foreign audiences are interested in this concert.

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

Now there is a violin concerto "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" from the East, 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 interested in oriental culture, you will be more interested in listening to such a concert.

therefore.

From the third "Blessed Lovers" theme 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 listen to a concert is indeed a rather troublesome thing.

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

As a result, the proportion of domestic audiences buying tickets began to decline.

But the proportion of foreign audiences has increased, and concert tickets are still hard to find.

……

After New Year's Day.

Fang Xing and Lu Xianger rested for two days and went to Vienna together to listen to Patrick Pater's Tchaikovsky concert.

Tickets are presented by Patrick Petter.

The performer presents the tickets in person. If you don't go, it's a little impolite.

Moreover, Fang Xing also wants to hear how much this Austrian violinist has improved.

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

Things happened a little by coincidence.

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

Moreover, the concerts held by Patrick Pater are all Tchaikovsky specials, and all Tchaikovsky's famous pieces are played.

This is now in preparation for the race in May.

In fact.

The same is true for Lu Xianger and the "Blessed Lovers" theme concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

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

After all, "Blessed Lovers" is only 26 minutes long, and the concert is at least two hours.

Therefore, for the rest of the time, Tchaikovsky's famous pieces were played.

……

Patrick Pater's concert venue is the Vienna State Opera.

This opera house is one of the most famous opera houses in the world, and it is rarely leased out.

In other words, it is difficult to hold concerts 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 a concert at the Vienna State Opera.

The concert was a great success.

After all, Patrick Pater is already a famous violinist, and his level is there, and he is cooperating with the Austrian Symphony Orchestra.

After listening to the concert, Lu Xianger was in a daze.

Fang Xing shook her palm and asked, "Are you starting to get nervous?"

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

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

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

A big reason why she was nervous was that she was going to use "The Butterfly Lovers" in the competition.

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

Fang Xing asked: "Why don't you change the song? It's more certain to change to a world famous song."

But Lu Xianger shook her head and insisted: "I decided to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition at the beginning, just to play "The Butterfly Lovers" on the field. Even if I don't win the prize, I will stick to this decision."

Fang Xing nodded and said: "In this case, let's try our best to compare, regardless of winning or losing, as long as we stand on the stage and play "The Butterfly Lovers", we have achieved our goal."

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

There are three rounds of Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition.

"The Butterfly Lovers" should be performed in the last round, that is to say, at least one has to pass the first two rounds to have the chance to play "The Butterfly Lovers".

"That means your level has regressed." Fang Xing insulted her unceremoniously.

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

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

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

At this moment.

Patrick Pater came out from the backstage, played the stage steps down to the auditorium, walked all the way in front of the two, and said in English: "Thank you for coming to my concert."

He waited in the backstage for quite a while, but he didn't see Fang Xing and the 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, the other audience members had all left, and there were very few audience members left in the entire concert hall.

So Patrick Pate saw the two at a glance.

Fang Xing reached out to shake his hand, and congratulated him, "The show was a success, congratulations!"

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

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

To attend a concert, at least one or two days will be delayed. Lu Xianger still has a concert to hold every week, plus the weekly rehearsal time, the time is really tight.

Besides, this Austrian fat man was a little too enthusiastic. He took his ticket, and it was inappropriate not to participate, so he had to decline.

Patrick Pate also understood very well. He pulled his hand out of the inner pocket of his suit and said, "Okay. I will go to your concert when I have time, and I will 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. After four years, they met again in the international arena.

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

And this time the venue is that cold city near the Arctic Circle.

……

Coming out of the Vienna State Opera, Fang Xing and Lu Xianger met foreign reporters at the door.

A few days ago, the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition announced the list of entries, with Patrick Pater's name on the list.

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

Before Patrick Pater arrived, the Austrian reporter saw Lu Xianger first.

Now, apart from Huaxia, Lu Xianger is the most famous in Austria.

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

The more famous Patrick Pater is in Austria, the more famous Lu Xianger will be.

Especially this time, the cooperation between Lu Xianger and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra has raised the popularity to another level.

Therefore, the Austrian reporter recognized Lu Xianger and hurried forward to interview her.

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

Lu Xianger didn't expect to meet a foreign reporter, so she quickly corrected her attitude and replied, "I'm Lu Xianger."

Austrian reporter: "Excuse me, are you here to listen to Patrick's concert to spy on information for the competition in May?"

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

Fang Xing helped to add: "We were invited by Mr. Patrick to attend the concert."

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

Lu Xianger nodded and replied: "Mr. Patrick is very good, I admire his professionalism and friendliness."

Just as the two were answering questions from Austrian journalists.

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

Fang Xing took a closer look, and found that it was a familiar face, and he was a reporter who made a lot of news.

When the Austrian reporter saw the media logo on the microphone handed over, he was a little dissatisfied: "Hey! Dude, you should line up at the back and come up after I finish asking."

The Austrian reporter was interviewing with a cameraman, and now a microphone is stretched out, still with a media LOGO, which will cause the LOGO of the exciting news to be captured together in the shot.

Fang Xing looked at the news reporter and said, "We won't run away, we will accept your interview later."

The entertainment news industry in China is very busy, and it is very difficult to get first-hand interview material if you don't fight for it.

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

However, now Fang Xing agreed to be interviewed.

The news reporter took back the microphone and stood aside to wait.

The cameraman behind him continued to shoot.

After the Austrian reporter finished asking, the Surging News reporter stepped forward to conduct the interview.

Fang Xing was a little curious, and asked, "Why did you come here? This concert, most of them are foreign audiences, so there shouldn't be anything worth interviewing, right?"

The Jidang news reporter grinned and said, "We are here specifically for Mr. Fang."

Fang Xing frowned and asked, "How do you know that we are here for this concert?"

The Surging News reporter replied with a smile, "I learned about it through special channels."

He didn't say it clearly, it should be to keep the whistleblower secret.

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

Fang Xing smiled helplessly: "Okay. If you have any questions, just ask."

Before the news reporter came, he had done his homework and began to ask questions:
"I heard that Mr. Fang and Ms. Lu came here to attend the concert because they received tickets from an Austrian violinist. Is that true?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "Patrick sent the tickets."

Stirring news reporter: "Do you know Patrick Pater, and have you watched the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition in May?"

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

Stirring news reporter: "Does this mean that Miss Lu Xianger and Patrick Petter will stand on the field again. Miss Lu Xianger, as the Paganini gold medalist, are you confident to beat the silver medalist again?"

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

Stirring news reporter: "Judging from Miss Lu Xiang'er's tone, it seems that she doesn't have much confidence."

Lu Xianger frowned and didn't know how to answer.

Fang Xing interjected with a smile: "Don't push her, she's not me, she dares to brag to anyone. Modesty is a traditional virtue of our country, don't write it out of context, let us concentrate on preparing for the competition in May."

The news reporter replied in a solemn tone: "Don't worry, Mr. Fang, we like to make big news, but we can still be clear about big things like winning glory for the country."

He said, let the camera scan the Austrian National Opera House behind them, and continued to ask: "A month ago, when Ms. Lu Xianger held a concert, she chose the Golden Hall. Why didn't she choose this Austrian National Opera House?"

Lu Xianger was a little confused: "I don't know, I didn't organize the concert."

Fang Xing added: "You must have done your homework before you came here, right? This Austrian National Opera House is rarely rented out, and only Austrian performers like Patrick Pater can hold concerts here. "

The journalists who stirred up the news had indeed done their homework, and asking this question was intentional.

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

"Seeing how Austria praises its musicians so much, Miss Lu Xianger, what do you think?"

Lu Xianger was stunned again, blinked and said, "I don't think so much. It's normal for Austria to be nicer to their country's performers." (End of this chapter)
