Chapter 256 Fanning Resigns (4K [-]-in-[-])

"Old Symphony Orchestra."

Roy was trying to figure out its meaning, and the cultural dignitaries present were confirming and comparing it with their rich industry experience.

Director Humphrey of the Department of Art Development immediately praised: "Well, it's not the most official 'naming of names of places and people', but compared to many bands that are unconventional or pretentious and lengthy, this is undoubtedly a formal specification, concise and neat, Recognizable and highly impressive case."

This obviously has a certain tendency towards mysticism. Minister Noel thought in his mind. He came from an industrial aristocracy, and his position was appointed by the House of Commons.

There are many cases of mysticism in the naming of symphony orchestras. There are many with the name of the Lord of Witnesses alone. The third-ranked orchestra in the world is the "Unfalling Fire Festival Orchestra", and I intuitively tell myself, "Old days "Should have the source of occult literature, um... This is very suitable for Mr. Fanning's identity.

"'Old Symphony Orchestra' has a retro and sentimental style, as well as a heavy sense of history." So Minister Noel nodded, "It's literally intuitive."

"It seems to come from a dusty old time in the past, and it is reappearing today." Mansfield, the deputy director in charge of poetry, drama and fine arts at the rear, agrees: "This should be Mr. Fanning's appreciation of the lost authenticism gold. The nostalgia of the times, and the pursuit and inheritance of the legacy of those great masters in the Middle Ages."

"Your profound skills in choosing words and making sentences in cultural propaganda work are awe-inspiring." Fan Ning shook his head with a smile.

Humphrey continued his explanation.

The level and ranking of the World Symphony Orchestra are comprehensively evaluated by the cultural authorities of various countries every quarter, and the results are updated on the [-]th of the next month, and are simultaneously reported by the world's mainstream media.

It is a cumbersome and arduous task to systematically collect and evaluate the information of so many orchestras, and the cultural departments of various countries can maintain the same final conclusion, and it is obviously through the unified leadership, coordination and inspiration of the "discussion group".

It also shows from the side that the extraordinary power of this world and the secular regime have always been closely linked: the mysterious guide art, but the cultural and artistic undertakings are by no means castles in the air, they are built on the basis of social economy.If the governance efficiency of the authorities is low, or the secular order is disintegrated, and the will of the "new moons" is not respected, it is too small for the wise to have nothing to rely on for inspiration. I am afraid that they can only live in the abnormal zone by themselves.

As for the specific evaluation dimensions, according to Humphrey’s explanation, it includes four aspects:
1. Hardware conditions: The conditions of the resident venue will definitely affect the ranking. More advanced construction specifications, better design standards, more top-end musical instrument configurations, and even a certain detail belonging to the "world's most xx concert hall" are all bonus points item.Since this requires on-the-spot assessment, it is natural not to collect information every quarter. When a new orchestra is registered, the cultural department will send an inspection team to it. If the orchestra thinks it is necessary, such as a major renovation or the completion of a new venue, additional "Inspection upon application".

2. Activity level: including concert performances, including record releases, and of course other forms of artistic activities, each of which will be recorded in the cultural department.Under normal circumstances, this is a "two-way" cooperation: Extraordinary organizations can rely on the cultural department to better supervise art activities and fight against the infiltration of evil god organizations, and the group itself is afraid of missing reports, which will affect the activity score.

3. Market value: This is the dimension with the greatest weight. If "activity" focuses on quantity, "market value" focuses more on quality.People in this world have a stronger willingness to pay for art, and the earning power of an orchestra is the best way to prove its influence. Even simply replacing "orchestra ranking" with "profit ranking" is probably more than [-]% accurate.

4. Cognitive value: The number and quality of reports by various media, and the degree of public favor in voting activities are also factors taken into consideration, and the cultural department will make a comprehensive judgment.

From Fanning's understanding, the calculation rules of this evaluation system may be complicated, but the overall structure is very concise and reasonable. It basically achieves "no omission and no intersection", focusing on result-oriented rather than false names.

For example, if the orchestra hires a new famous performer as the principal, or signs a very famous conductor, does this count as an improvement in the level?Will it affect ranking?

——Except for a few more media reports, I am afraid there is no direct bonus item.But the attractiveness of the master makes the tickets for the performances sell better, or releases more high-rated records, and the rankings will naturally go up. If not, it means that the two sides have not worked together properly.

For another example, if the orchestra invests huge publicity expenses to build momentum, can it improve its ranking?

——This will more or less increase the "cognitive value" of the public, but if you can't even earn back from the concert box office and record sales for the cost you put in, then I'm sorry, the profit will drop, and the weight will be greater "Market Value" points deducted.

Well, unless the money invested is not your own, but a son of a rich family or a chaebol group, then the ranking will naturally rise, and the "funding income" is also included in the "band revenue", which can be favored by capital, or A symphony orchestra whose fanatical admirers express their love with practical actions is a matter of course.

These logics are very pragmatic when I think of them.

"And my two most advantageous abilities are the advantages of rehearsal and live performance brought by 'Old Days' and 'Church of Enlightenment'; What I wrote myself. These are not direct bonus items, it depends on how I realize my potential.”

Fanning began to think about more detailed performance plans and record release schedules in his mind.

"Director Humphrey, I found that you have left no way out for Mr. Fanning at all." Roy said with a smile, "After the third quarter rankings are announced in October, you will see that the newly established 'Old Symphony Orchestra' will directly The leader of a third-rate professional orchestra, if it wants to make progress, it must enter the next level in the evaluation after the New Year's concert, otherwise it is too unreasonable to go backwards, because this position is too eye-catching."

"But in October, Mr. Fanning can also catch up with the special subsidy for the Imperial Symphony Orchestra in the third quarter, can't he?" Humphrey laughed, "10 pounds is not a small amount, this is the support standard that only third-rate professional orchestras can enjoy Otherwise, based on the construction progress of the Turner Art Hall, the third quarter may be too late."

"You can also get 7500 pounds at the end of a third-rate professional band." Roy emphasized with a sly wink.

You are too detailed, how can I be so easy to lose, just say it.Fanning touched the tip of his nose.

Minister Noel said sternly: "Actually, we sincerely hope that Mr. Fanning can lead the orchestra into the top ranks in three to five years. It will be a great honor for the empire."

Driven by the advantages of the industrial economy, Tiolein's serious music business has developed rapidly, and the authorities are very willing to spend money to support the symphony orchestra.

According to the dynamic rating, subsidies are issued in quarters. Third-rate/second-rate/first-rate professional orchestras can get 3/5/10 pounds per year, far exceeding other countries.

Even amateur orchestras, as long as they rank in the top 50%, can also receive a quarterly subsidy of 1200 pounds per year. To do this, they only need to produce three or four decent concerts per year.

As for the three of the top ten symphony orchestras that belong to the empire, this subsidy is 50 pounds!

All kinds of resources are also concentrated upwards according to the gradient, coupled with a variety of special award selections. With this kind of support, the Imperial Symphony Orchestra has already ranked first in quantity, but in terms of quality. At present, it is still not as good as the foundation of the birthplace of the Western Continent .

Of the 44 first-class orchestras, 12 belong to Tiolein, which is only half of the Holy Janus Kingdom.That's why the dignitaries of these cultural departments hope to add another one in a few years.

As for the top ten symphony orchestras?All of these groups have profound backgrounds and have a history of cooperating with a large number of "New Moons". Well, it is good to have dreams. According to the retirement system of the imperial administrative department, I hope that I can see it at that time.

The hard card printed with exquisite bronzing fonts was inserted into the first glass slot on the third level.

On the day of August 913, 8 in the new calendar, Santaram Fort was still in an extremely gloomy atmosphere overall. The terrible accident the day before yesterday, together with the subsequent pollution incidents, had killed more than 25 people. As the investigation work came to an end, the numbers have basically been finalized, and more and more incidents of loss and distortion of members of the Bologna School have appeared one after another.

Fanning did not attend any memorial services related to the accident.

But also on this day, the "Old Symphony Orchestra" appeared as a new thing, which may symbolize the next stage of Fanning's exploration of death and redemption.

Fan Ning specifically stated that he would temporarily refuse media reports on the news of the band's establishment, so as not to occupy public resources, and wait until the recruitment plan is finalized before allowing it to meet the public.

For the final two days before returning to Uvransel, Fanning did one more thing.

He first went back to the headquarters of the Guidance School, and had a discussion with several mentors about the hidden knowledge of the seven great artifacts obtained in the "burning furnace".

Then I visited several churches of the Church of the Holy Sun in Fort Santa Ramos, hoping to learn some secret history related to the deeds of Archbishop Benshuva Lenia, especially to see if there is any relationship with Guidance School of Guidance The person in charge of the church received him with the etiquette that should be given to official colleagues and a "lion forging" artist, but Fan Ning had little effect.

In the end, he also went to several large libraries in the city, searched for historical or religious documents related to "Research on God Worship in the Turangalian Dynasty", and left a borrowing record.

In a flash of time, it was 9:3 p.m. on September [-], the third day of normal classes in the fall semester, and the first day that the St. Lania Symphony Orchestra resumed regular rehearsals for the semester.

At [-]:[-], everyone had arrived, and the members of the orchestra were all familiar faces, but in this university, some were not.

Fan Ning hurriedly met with the principal and deputy principals who were newly transferred from the headquarters of their school, but he was the last one to arrive at the rehearsal hall.

He felt the eyes of his classmates full of love and respect, and some inspirational inspiration, which swept away the haze brought by the original campus obituary.

"Professor Fanning, you have been plagiarized!"

"Yes, this idea has really been plagiarized. I heard it three times in a row in the past few days, and it made me mad!"

It was not yet time for the formal rehearsal, and just as Fan Ning put away his briefcase, he heard the chattering voices of his classmates.

"Plagiarized? Idea? What idea?" he asked bewildered.

"It's a radio station."

"What do you think they recorded? I didn't feel anything after listening to it for a minute. It's far from the "Violin Concerto in E Minor."

"The premiere of Uquillo's new piano sonata still had an effect, and the box office sold very well, but shouldn't he give us a share of this method!?"

So in your words, Fan Ning finally figured out what was going on. It turned out that his idea of ​​promoting the first concert of his new work by recording a radio "trailer" actually entered into the marketing case analysis of a large number of orchestras. !
Not only was it re-discussed, but it was also taken out by several composers and troupe parties who happened to have a premiere, and one of them really sold very well.

"There's no such thing as copyright, so plagiarism is out of the question." Fan Ning waved his hand nonchalantly, "If they want to use it for reference, they can just take it. I'll play something to make them more eye-opening."

It's just that, the cost of advertising on the radio station may increase, making it cheaper for those guys.

After glancing at the wall clock on the wall, he smiled mysteriously: "Today I asked Mr. Kaplan to bring good things that everyone likes."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they already had a premonition of what Fan Ning was referring to, and their heartbeats began to speed up.

So Kaprun walked to the front of the orchestra with a bulging woven bag in one hand.

He first announced the proceeds of the art festival openly and honestly.

The total box office of the zoned price is 26910 pounds, including 40 VIP internal tickets and 40 second-class internal tickets, and the rest are all sold out, and the actual box office income is 25710 pounds.

Then deduct 30% of the venue commission of the National Concert Hall, and deduct the travel costs of more than 80 cast members——

The Saint Lenia Symphony Orchestra earned over £18000 pure!
For the second time, Fan Ning lamented that once art makes money, it is comparable to printing money.

When he was going to talk to the school about the issue of record sharing, the former Sternike and Huxley waved their hands, saying that you can play if you like.

Since the album earned too much, Fanning himself did not plan to take any more of the box office income.It's all the sound from the orchestra, and most of it has fallen into my pocket.

Although Fan Ning was not familiar with the school's new leader, he also fulfilled the promise that had been negotiated. Once the money from the National Concert Hall arrived, he was asked to distribute it by himself.

"There are 82 members in our trip to the imperial capital, so according to Professor Fanning's distribution plan, please ask the ministers to come up and collect the money." As a financial elite, Kaprun has never earned this amount of money. But I don't know why he looks so proud.

"67 participating musicians and music score assistants, each divided into 180 pounds."

"15 voice chiefs, divided into 240 pounds each."

"Ah!" "Oh my God!!" The audience screamed, and Pierre behind him beat the timpani directly, which was comparable to a strong band playing.

Facts have proved that everyone is a groundhog in the face of large dividends.Fanning shook his head with a smile. The market price of his own small townhouse in East Mecklen was 500-600 pounds.

When I was a student, I took a trip to the imperial capital for free and came back with a half of the real estate in the city center. Who wouldn't be excited?Not to mention a middle-class family, a minor noble background is enough to brag about in the family.

"Miss Sheeran's soloist and orchestra chief's remuneration is 2000 pounds, and the remaining 644 pounds is my conductor assistant's dividend." Kaplan joked to the chiefs on stage, "The envelope color of your vocal ministers and band members It's different, don't give yours to your classmates, unless you have other ideas."

It took a long time for the boiling sound and excited discussion to calm down.

"Then the second thing that needs to be announced is." Fanning spoke again, making everyone focus on him.

"I will formally resign today as permanent conductor of the Saint Lania Symphony Orchestra."
