Chapter 623 Broadcast Symphony Orchestra

After the topic of art title comes to an end.

Some chaebol groups, heads of art venues and politicians from local counties in the empire also expressed interest in cooperating with the "World Music Radio" that Fanning had demonstrated the night before.

Some of these are intended for use as communication technology. For example, the railway company is planning to build an "emergency command center" and Hezhong Fruit Industry wants to build a "logistics and transportation division."

Arts management practitioners and local officials saw a future trend or prospect in Fanning's big move.

A new thing that can be called the "xx Radio Symphony Orchestra"!

  Yes, just now at least three directors of art venues and five local politicians have expressed great interest in the establishment of the local "xx Radio Symphony Orchestra"!

In fact, in Fanning’s previous life’s classical music world, in addition to the “Philharmonic Orchestra” and “Festival Orchestra”, the “Broadcast Symphony Orchestra” was another important component.

As the name suggests, this refers to the symphony groups that emerged in the early 20th century with the rise of radio communication technology. Most of them are affiliated with local broadcasting organizations and provide performance services to the people in the covered areas.

Some modern people who lack understanding may not realize that the music radio stations that Germans have listened to for more than a hundred years did not rely on the host to flick the switch to play music, but there was a real symphony orchestra behind the scenes playing for you.

Especially after World War II, the construction of radio symphony orchestras quickly became an important measure for the development of public cultural undertakings in many countries. They not only retained the historical tradition of European music, with profound cultural heritage and superb level, but also had a strong sense of contemporary trends.

Now in Fanning's life, on the one hand, the industrial gentlemen and cultural politicians of the Northern Continent have this forward-looking demand; on the other hand, the Western Continent and the Southern Continent are now facing problems similar to those of the "Second World War"!

——A considerable number of opera houses and concert halls were destroyed, and a large number of musicians and conductors were unable to immediately engage in musical activities.

They all hoped to purchase a batch of "World Radio" equipment and hoped that Turner Hall could provide technical guidance.

In this regard, Fanning expressed his welcome and support.

But he did give some explanations truthfully.

If you are helping others build, first of all, you can't have the "projection" effect like yourself, only sound. Of course, the sound quality is still almost "lossless".

Secondly, the coverage cannot cover the entire world. Taking the northern continent as an example, it is estimated that 6-7 radio stations are needed to cover the empire's land and sea territories.

According to Fanning, this is due to a combination of technical and mysterious limitations.

  The real reason behind this is a bit embarrassing: because Fanning only has one Qiming Church.

You use it, I use it, and everyone uses it. If there is a collision at the same time, there will be a 360-degree surround double image.

But if other radio stations give up the "projection" function and only have sound, Fanning found after trying it that they can achieve non-interference with each other!

Because he can use the invisible power of the "key" to divide the area of ​​the Qiming Church into limited areas, and each radio station can sound and project without interfering with each other!

  Well, it's just like renting a parking space.

Of course, the best position is the stand, which belongs to you. Other radio stations that are rented out can find a place under the stand.

  Anyway, if you block the sound, you won't notice anything unusual. When you project your own "World Radio", you don't have to worry about weird things coming in.

After listening to Fanning's explanation of the restrictions, these partners all said that it was okay.

Originally, they were local people, and they had their sights set on the market where they were located.

A radio station can cover an area of ​​five or six counties, or even seven or eight counties, in a timely manner, without the need for layer-by-layer rebroadcasting, with "lossless" sound effects, and even with indescribable emotional resonance. What else is there to worry about?

They asked Fanning to name a price, including the process, equipment, and mysticism-related supplies.

Fan Ning said, however, that radio equipment and other items can be purchased normally on the market, and the same goes for extraordinary consumables. These people have their own channels to contact official organizations.

Just make a list of what they need and let them purchase it themselves. It's free sharing and it's not a confidential patent.

  We mainly charge for "installation, debugging and operation and maintenance"!

As for the specific charging model, Fanning said that for installation and debugging, the Turner Hall only needs to pay the travel and labor costs, and each main station or listening point will only cost tens to hundreds of pounds.

Mainly for operation and maintenance services, payment is made annually!

As for the unit price, it is calculated based on the population of the covered area. After all, this thing directly determines the market size, and every citizen is a current or future audience.

The charging standard proposed by Fanning is 1 pence per person per year. It doesn’t matter if the demographic data is lagging behind, just calculate it according to the most recent official caliber!

These local politicians and venue managers calculated that if the coverage area was for 4000 million people, the annual fee would be about 8 pounds. If it was a prosperous area in the north of the empire, for 1 million people, the annual fee would be more than 20 pounds.

This technology upgrade cost is definitely not expensive.

  The main reason is that the annual fee expenditure of 8 to 20 pounds does not require the government financial resources of a single county to bear!

Because there are several counties in a region, they are equivalent to the second-level cooperation units of the radio station. Then those art venues, symphony orchestras, or smaller local cities are equivalent to the third-level cooperation units.

In a sense, the CCTV can even make money!

  The head of the National Northern Radio in Santaranburg made the decision on the spot! The heads of the Eastern Radio in Theolian and the Voice of Janus Radio in the Western Continent followed suit.

"Master Fanning, this kind of large-scale mystical project will probably require you to spend more time and effort in secret."

"But we have to embrace the times." Fanning smiled noncommittally.

In fact, I am only going to send a low-level or mid-level knowledgeable person to help you install it, he added secretly in his heart.

A knowledgeable person who studies "Candle" or "Key" brings a temporary secret contract he has drawn to the venue to draw a witness symbol of "Endless Fugue", then tries the effect a few times, instructs the construction workers, and slightly adjusts the altar.

  As for "operation and maintenance", isn't it just to wait until the spiritual fluid in the secret atmosphere is used up, then send someone to make a trip, erase the witness symbol, add the spiritual fluid they purchased themselves, and then redraw it.

After the discussion about the "World Radio" matter, Prince Louis, the investor of Hoffman Record Publishing Company and the sender of the invitation to yesterday's award ceremony, came up to him again.

Anyway, Walter on the side was completely stunned.

"Uh, Master Fanning, how much cooperation intention did you reach in the past hour? Uh, there were too many people who came just now, and they spoke too fast and were too efficient."

"I don't know either. You can go back and add some and see." Fan Ning held a glass of rose water, leaned back in his seat, and looked at the fountain outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

“If these projects can be implemented this year, then the financial situation of our theater chain will be improved.” Walter felt a sense of relief on his shoulders.

"I wonder if you, Mr. Director, have ever paid attention to the rankings of the chaebol groups in Theolaine, or the operating data of the leading art venues in our industry?" Fan Ning suddenly asked this question.

"Other industry groups? We don't really pay much attention to them." Walter answered truthfully, "But the operation of art venues is naturally a key research topic."

"Due to the existence of chain cinemas, our current size is the largest in the world. Well, I know this is not necessarily an advantage. Due to the rapid expansion, the profitability of third- and fourth-tier cinemas is poor, resulting in very tight cash flow. In terms of profit margin, we are now barely around 10th place, and because the base is too large, every bit of improvement is extremely difficult."

"This 10th place is meaningless." Fanning laughed, "You know, Turner Art Museum is also a registered company, or group. Our assets, revenue and profits are ranked outside the top 200 in the Theolaine Empire alone!"

He pointed at Walter opposite him and then at himself: "Among this large group of people, you and I are probably the poorest."

Walter was stunned.

"Of course, our original intention of our business was not to become a chaebol, but without money, it's hard to do anything, my director."

  Fanning stretched himself and slowly stood up from his seat.

"In order to achieve what we have envisioned, we need more adequate external nutrition and a healthier internal body."

"Master Fanning, good afternoon."

"It is an honor for us to participate in the awarding ceremony of the Order of the Thistle with you later."

"Haha, of course, the meaning behind it is different. You are the official 'Boethius' artist, and we are just nominated."

Four more gentlemen in formal attire came over to say hello and sat down on the couch next to Fanning.

Four artists who have recently been promoted to "Forging Lions"? Fanning reads the subtext of their greetings.

  Four "Forged Lions" suddenly appeared, and they even received the highest standard of the Imperial Thistle Medal? Is the art industry so prosperous in recent years? Or is it that the Special Patrol Office's "potential artist" discovery plan has "cashed on" again?

Walter found that his boss didn't seem to be familiar with the people who came to greet him. Finally, the value of his trip was "put to good use". He got ahead of the people who wanted to introduce themselves and said, "Master Fanning, let me introduce you."

He put his five fingers together and pointed at the person sitting closest to him.

The artist looked haggard and thin, his shoulders unable to hold up his dress well. Facing the gazes of several people, his greetings were very polite, but there was almost no curve at the corners of his mouth.

"This is Mr. Solomon Herschel, a great composer and pianist, and a special music critic for the emerging art journal "End of the Century". He has won the favor of the art world with his collection of atonal piano works "Winter Fables" published in 915 of the new calendar."
