musicians of old

Chapter 259 Big move! (4K [-]-in-[-])

In the first week of the school season, the major cities of the Empire are much busier than usual, both on and off campus.

As soon as the first ray of sunshine broke through the clouds in the morning, citizens, music fans, students, and more people in the art circle who walked out of their homes learned about it one after another from radio broadcasts, newspaper columns, and bulletin boards in conspicuous places everywhere. There is a message.Its spread was not only concentrated in Uflandsell, but the popularity soon swept through the art circles of several neighboring counties.

"That talented musician really set up an orchestra and recruited people? The old symphony orchestra?" Some people who were leaning on cars and carriages with their eyes closed and meditating, only heard the first two sentences of the radio broadcast, and quickly played from their seats. sat up.

On the seats of the subway that hastily resumed operation in Fort Santaram, many gentlemen and ladies holding newspapers today opened their eyes wider than usual.

"What's the situation!? Recruiting so many people??"

"Who is this person? dabble? informal group? just for fun?" A gentleman with an unlit pipe in his hand subconsciously muttered several words similar to "playing tickets" in Hoffman's language.

When he glanced at more information, he muttered to himself doubtfully: "But it's not like, the central cultural department actually stood up for it in the relevant reports. The politicians in this photo don't seem to be fake, it's just that time has passed Several days have passed, why didn't you send it out at the first time."

"You don't even know Caroline Van Ning?" His muttering was interrupted by a lady standing in front of him holding on to the handrail.

I thought it was aimed at me, but then I found out that she was just popularizing with the female companion next to me.

"The youngest great composer and conductor in the empire! The summer art festival concert led by him has created an unexpected miracle of four first performances. Although it is a student orchestra, the box office revenue and record sales are top-notch A professional band whose co-signed limited-edition records have fetched over £100 in some collections"

"Oh."

"His "First Symphony" has become the most anticipated orchestral work in the third quarter in a current customer market survey report of Hoffman Records."

"oh oh."

"In a recent private condolence occasion, in front of several masters and many high-class people, he showed and created a mysterious piece that is recognized as 'comparable to the height of Kashunich'"

"I don't understand, what is that?"

"And it is said that he is also a very powerful official mystic who killed all the members of the evil god organization during the major subway accident on August 8."

"It's amazing, is there any more?"

The girlfriend next to her kept pulling away and nodding, until the loyal female music fan took out the cover of the track list with the photo of Fanning conducting from the satchel.

"It's because I lack news attention recently, and I'll chase him with you in the future." Her eyes lit up and she made an expression of sudden understanding, and she asked questions one after another, "But... recruiting so many people, how much is his old symphony orchestra? The Four Controls don’t play like this, do they?”

So this loyal music fan also began to shake his head: "I don't understand, 14 double basses? 10 French horns and 10 trumpets? Even two timpani, and a large choir? What is this arrangement for?"

She looked down, and suddenly rubbed her eyes in disbelief: "Is he serious about this treatment?"

The subway car opened, and a gentleman with a violin case who looked like a performer accidentally tripped and nearly fell because he was too focused on the newspaper: "Damn it, if it wasn't printed in black and white on it, Carlone Van. Ning, I would consider this a scam ad."

The main road of Saint Lenia University campus.

"My God, Professor Fanning is only 23 years old!"

"Yeah, and this...why so much money?"

"Didn't you say twice before?"

"Are you sure it's the treatment of a first-class orchestra? Is this the treatment of the world's top ten top symphony orchestras?"

"Ah, why haven't I graduated yet?"

"It's a good thing I didn't graduate. I'm going to take all these courses taught by Fanning. They sound familiar and fresh."

"Can I do two jobs at the same time?"

There are several bulletin boards in prominent places, and the crowd forms a few large groups, watching the posted materials, large and small, chattering.

It can be barely heard from the messy content, it seems that there are two different things discussed.

"Why do you want to graduate and don't want to graduate?"

"What money? What kind of treatment? Please give me a seat to see."

"Oh, don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"

As a result, more people from the outside picked up layers of shoulders, and first saw the official school documents in a prominent position.

"All colleges and administrative offices:

After friendly negotiation and research by the school, Carlone Van Ning is now employed as an honorary professor of the Composition Department of the Conservatory of Music, and will no longer be the permanent conductor of the St. Lania Symphony Orchestra. He will perform immediately.

Attachment: Professor Fan Ning's teaching arrangement for the autumn semester of 913 in the new calendar (tentative):
September 9-22, "Introduction to Harmony"

October 10-27, "Introduction to Counterpoint"

November 11-24, "Introduction to Orchestration"

December 12-22, "Introduction to Musical Form Analysis"

The quota is precious, and registration will be open next Monday. Students are welcome to take the course. "

The onlookers only felt that this personnel adjustment document was real and untrue.

For things like the title of "public school professor", if a "great contemporary artist" cannot be obtained, then only a "art master" is worthy of it in the world, which will obviously lead to no one teaching in major schools. , very reasonable, and even has the meaning of the school's high honor.

But what about a 23-year-old public school professor?This thing seems too surprising anyway.

Of course, what is more practical is that this semester was able to take the courses taught by Professor Fanning!
Now there are too many music fans in the empire, who have myths and reveries about this young, handsome and talented musician.Such an opportunity to teach and interact in person made the students studying in St. Lenia the envy of everyone. Many other academic school leaders are already considering offering an olive branch to Fan Ning for the title.

And the name of the course really gives people a sense of novelty and anticipation.

Engaging in artistic activities is mainly driven by inspiration. Although musicians of all ages have summed up some concepts and techniques, isn’t the composition theory course just “Compositionology”? How come these professional terms have become separate subjects?Or just an introduction? …

Although I don't know what Professor Fanning will talk about then, but I feel that it must be very powerful!

No matter what, grab an elective spot on Monday! !
The lower grade students mainly focused on course selection, while the upper grade students and even faculty members paid more attention to the poster-style "Turner Art Hall Recruitment Announcement".

Below the announcement is a short message, which shows that the great conductor and composer Fan Ning, an alumnus of Saint Lenia University, was warmly received by the central cultural department of the Empire on the day he registered the orchestra in Fort Santa Lambert. Two photographs.

And the salary standard stated in the text is simply dumbfounding!

"Applicants are requested to send their resumes to those who apply for the "Music Rescue" Program. Those who apply for the "Music Relief" Program can come to consult. The addresses of the consultation points in each urban area are as follows. Self-recommendation and referral are welcome."

"Turner Art Hall & Old Symphony Orchestra, this is our spiritual home, the kingdom of freedom for art."

"Spiritual homeland? The kingdom of freedom? Karon, you will go out of business like this."

Professor Anton's villa, reception room, in front of the long table, Joan was dumbfounded holding a stack of materials: "This way... your old symphony orchestra can live up to two months."

Before the completion of the renovation and expansion project of Turner Art Hall, the only places that can serve as office space are Woodpecker Consulting Office or St. Lenia University. Since the next interview work still needs the help of many school staff and certain facilities, Considering that the school has already started and the geographical location, Fan Ning gathered several core team members here to discuss preparations.

"This is undoubtedly a big move." Lu from the other direction held a cup of coffee with ice cubes in his hand, frowned, and said seriously, "So, the Adair family can make some more investment and guarantee It will be the day when the New Year's concert can be held."

"The McAdam family can also crowdfund a sum." Roy, who was turning the pen, echoed with seriousness, "In this way, it can work hard to complete the first bi-monthly exhibition in 914 of the new calendar."

"You guys' level of confidence makes me think that I look like I'm going to run away with money at any time."

Fan Ning leaned on the seat, folded his hands on his chest, and shook his head helplessly.

"Caroun, the performance characteristics of a first-class professional orchestra are double the industry average, or three times the industry's bottom-line standard." Sheeran said with a curled lip, "and our current salary is four times the industry level, Six times the bottom line standard, this is a game that only the top ten top symphony orchestras dare to play!"

The Culture and Media Committee of the Tiolein Central Council recommends that full-time artists employed by colleges and universities, churches, and professional symphony orchestras should have a minimum weekly salary of no less than 6.25 pounds, corresponding to the middle class with an annual income of 300 pounds The threshold, in fact, the weekly salary of musicians is usually 8-10 pounds.

"I think the starting point of a weekly salary of 30 pounds is very appropriate." Fan Ning said, "If it is not the case, how can we attract excellent artists to come to cooperate, how can we get everyone to work hard to train and study, and how can we increase the reputation and ranking of the band as soon as possible? ?”

With a "crash", Xilan held up a piece of draft paper with dense numbers written on it in front of her face, "Do you know how many people you plan to recruit?"

"There are 80 people in a three-band orchestra, and you have 134 members in an orchestra, with a fixed salary of 30 pounds for musicians, and the deputy chief and chief have also increased accordingly. You also have 48 administrative staff and 6 middle-level managers, and 12 pounds for ordinary clerks. Weekly wages are set as high as Guidance School members become full members and you also afford a large choir and a double piped youth symphony orchestra, and although a £1 a week stipend is small, you also have to bear the manpower and facility costs for its teaching tasks”

Sheeran's fingers slid across the rows of numbers facing the crowd: "In addition to the daily consumables, water bills, repair and maintenance fees, gas and gas fees, and regular publicity expenses of the Turner Art Hall and the Old Symphony Orchestra, I make made the most conservative calculation—”

"Our monthly fixed expenditure is 28456 pounds! Every month!"

"Terrible!!" As soon as Xilan's calculation results came out, several other people further lowered their expectations in their hearts.

Just when Fanning smiled and was about to speak——

"Professor Fanning, I'm here for an interview with my resume." There was a knock on the door and Kaplan's voice.

Sheeran got up and opened the door to greet her. Kaprun's wife Olga and daughter Irene Jr. came with him. Olga bowed politely to everyone, and Irene Jr. bowed like her.

"Sit here obediently, don't move or make noise." Kaplan hugged his brown-haired daughter on the sofa, and then said, "Mr. Fanning, my wife and I are applying for the job together, um, she It's an administrative position, you see if we are?"

"You came just in time." Fan Ning interrupted him with a beckoning hand, "You express your opinion, is my preparation plan for the old symphony orchestra very reasonable and has potential?"

"No problem, I'll take a look."

Sheeran handed over Fanning's plan and her calculation paper.Kaprun's expression was normal at first, but as he watched, his face turned pale and he began to sweat, and in the end he shivered with fright.

"Professor Fan Ning, please don't trick me! My previous family's resignation procedures have been completed!"
