musicians of old

Chapter 588 "Two Competitors"

Well, and judging from the context of what Mr. Fanning just said, it was also introduced from the topic of "Harvest Art Festival".

This is almost the same.

“The focus of our theater chain’s work this year is the Harvest Art Festival.”

So Walter began his report.

"Mr. Fanning has returned to the art world. As the music director appointed by Turner Art Hall, I have the responsibility and obligation to help you shine better on the stage of the festival."

"Judging from historical experience, the promotion of a composer can often 'succeed' the conductor and orchestra as witnesses. If you can be promoted to the 'new moon' or even higher, I will also become the 'new moon' sooner or later in the future. In September, the Old Symphony Orchestra will also become a top orchestra. The essence of these goals is the same. Your return will help our career open up a new situation!"

The secretary could not help but nod her head.

The selection mechanism of the Harvest Art Festival, which is held every seven years, is actually not complicated, and people who are interested in art will know it.

Speaking of which, there are two big steps, recommendation and comparison.

Recommendation, throughout the spring and summer of that year, those with recommendation qualifications must be "Boethius Nominated Artists" or "Boethius Artists", that is, "Forged Lions" or "Crescent Moon" officially certified by the discussion group .

Currently there are about 80 people in the world for the former and nearly 30 people for the latter.

This includes Walter and Fan Ning, both of whom are qualified to recommend others.

Not to mention the masters.

Each of them can recommend three contemporary artists to the cultural departments of each country. There is no limit to the target except themselves.

Among them, the recommendation weight of "New Moon" is 3 times that of "Forged Lion".

As you can imagine, artists who are interested in participating in the Harvest Art Festival tend to be very active during this period.

Moreover, they usually hold a high-profile “warm-up concert” or “warm-up art exhibition” in late summer or early autumn to gain more attention and recommendations.

The discussion group will decide on the candidates to be invited to the Holy City based on the recommended rankings and the artist's performance in the past period. This number is not fixed. In previous years, it was usually 15-20. It includes music, art, and dance. , poetry, architecture and many other art fields, competition is very fierce.

The second step is the formal competition during the Holy City.

At this time, the influencing factors of the early recommendation ranking only account for 50%, and the other half of the evaluation dimensions are public opinion and response.

The final selection of gold, silver and bronze awards will be based on the overall results.

It seems that only the top three will be awarded the prize, but judging from historical experience, the top ten have a high probability of being promoted to the "Crescent"!

In fact, even art masters who are already in the "Crescent" position will still attach importance to participating in the Harvest Art Festival as long as they have produced high-quality new works in recent years.

Because reaching the top of one or more sessions may be related to the fate of becoming a "torch bearer"!

This world's largest art event originated in ancient times and has a history of nearly three hundred years after its revival. Its gold content is unparalleled.

"Compared with the procedures of the Harvest Art Festival, our work idea is also divided into two steps." Walter continued to plan carefully, "During the recommendation and preparation stage in spring and summer, we formulated plans including 'Special Music Season', 'Cinema Operations Ten major action plans including quality improvement' and other plans in order to gain more response."

"The difficulty of competition at this stage lies in the uncertainty brought about by modern art trends and avant-garde artists, as well as the emergence of Scheler, the king of southern love songs, and Bishop Janus Lavoisier!" "These two people we You must be fully aware that even if they fail to appear as scheduled, the energy left over from the past can still stir up huge waves among the people, and if they appear at the right time and operate intentionally..."

"In short, they are the most powerful competitors at this Harvest Art Festival!"

Hearing the word "difficult", Fan Ning first concentrated his attention, but when the two names at the end came up, he almost lost control of his expression.

In order to relieve the embarrassment, he quickly regained his composure and turned to glance at Sheeran, who was lying on the sofa.

As a result, in the eyes of the secretary, this may have become the meaning of "important points, must be remembered".

The two people holding pens looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

On the opposite side, Walter's reporting status was getting better.

“Frankly speaking, both of these musicians are of great significance to me because of my mentorship and my faith, but on the other hand, Turner Hall is now my employer, and your work and ideas have always been of great significance to me. My influence is far-reaching. Fortunately, I can recommend three candidates. This 'best of all three' neither goes against my true intentions nor embarrasses me."

There is no confirmed news of death, that is, contemporary artists. "Schele" and "Lavoisier" are both recommended.

"With your previous influence, there are many recommenders. It is not a big problem to enter the invitation list. However, considering that in the later selection, the recommendation factors still have a 50% weight impact. We want to strive for a higher ranking. That is It’s a challenge of ‘no end’.”

"I am almost certain that artists who believe in the 'Unfallen Fire' will overwhelmingly support Bishop Lavoisier! This number is quite terrifying, almost all of the Western Continent, and nearly half of the Northern Continent! Even some of the fanatical beliefs Those who choose to do so will directly give up the other two recommended places!”

The momentum of the competitors is indeed considerable. Sheeran has witnessed some fanatical trends in recent years, and she looked very convinced when she took the note.

"And Scheler, the first art song to be sung around the world, has had a subversive impact on the art world. In recent years, any singer who comes to us to hold a concert of Scheler's works will definitely not worry about selling out the box office, and what will happen to the southerners? Supporting Scheler, there is no need to go into details. The only problem is that they have too few survivors and family members now! There seem to be only six or seven musicians above the "Forged Lion" in the South who are qualified to recommend, which is less than 10% of the world's musicians. .”

Xilan next to her couldn't help but let out an "oh":

"Lavoisier is indeed very powerful. I have experienced those fanatical believers before, but it seems that your teacher Scheler is a little bit behind. At least, in terms of recommendation, he is at a disadvantage."

She is very concerned about whether Fanning can achieve an ideal result this fall.

As for Scheler's status as Walter's teacher... Let's analyze it realistically. There's nothing to worry about. Then Caroln is still Walter's boss!

"No, you can't take it lightly." Walter didn't mind, but shook his head seriously, "Miss Sheeran, Teacher Scheler's influence is also far greater than you think!"

"First of all, there is the audience for the work. Mr. Scheler is called the 'King of Love Songs'. His art songs and symphonies depict courtly love, violence, desire and pastoral poetry. At least this is how it appears...secular themes! Among the people It is sung more widely than serious religious music. Master Lavoisier can receive enthusiastic support from our church and believers because there are many factors other than music..."

"Another point you may have overlooked: Teacher Scheler is the pride of the Southern Country, but he is a troubadour and a wandering artist! His origin, according to his own words, is still in our Western Continent!"

"He is from the Western Continent! The Western Continent has produced two peerless musicians! This is a place that many people are proud of."

"Now, the remnants of the Fanghui Temple and the folk 'Schele Art Association' formed in the South are uniting supporters from all over the place to put pressure on the discussion group, trying to change the rules of the competition and increase the weight of public opinion in the second half... Unexpectedly What’s amazing is that not only people from the South and their relatives responded to this joint activity, but many people from the Western Continent also joined the ranks of support..."

"Oh."

This time it was Fanning's turn to say "Oh."

"What are the difficulties in the competition in the second phase of this autumn?"

He tapped his fingers on the table, signaling for the analysis to move forward.

Sheeran couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Why does Caroln look like he is not very interested in the situation of his competitors?
