Chapter 667 Daily Atmosphere
"Oh, really? What decision? What do you mean? Nothing."

Fanning looked confused, not knowing why Roy turned the conversation to him.

Some people wondered what she was saying specifically, while others felt she was simply making fun of herself.

"Let's get back to the most realistic thing. It's still our boss Fanning's problem." Roy finally lowered his head and smiled. "Now that this has happened, all other possibilities have been killed. I'm afraid there's only one way to go. That is, under the fait accompli of 'finally reaching Janus', we should really work towards that unique artistic reputation! Becoming a special patrol office can't erase our existence even at the cost of a more turbulent price! Well, this road is very difficult to take."

"Senior, given his talent and the current influence of our team, is it still 'difficult'?" Xilan couldn't help but ask.

"With his talent, yes." Roy let out a long breath. "Based on objective evaluation and our own perspective, if he accumulates for the next seven years, I think he has at least a 50% chance of winning the Harvest Art Festival. If he accumulates for another seven years, I even think he has an 80% to 90% chance of winning."

"But in the next month? At the age of twenty-six or twenty-seven? The probability is about the same as throwing a dice and landing on a certain number on a certain side, about one or two percent."

At first glance, this comment may seem like "suppression" or "low expectations" to outsiders, but in fact, combined with a more specific context - a composer can have a 27% or % chance of becoming a "torch bearer" at the age of ? This is absolutely unprecedented, with great appreciation and preference!
Who are the participants of the Harvest Art Festival? Dozens of active "masters", nearly a hundred active "great" and many more amazing "famous". Among them, there are even some veterans who have witnessed the peak and end of the orthodox style and are famous since the early days of romanticism!
"I think I understand." After Roy explained further, Sheeran nodded in distress.

With Fanning's current accomplishments, it's like playing a single "Chopin" or "Schumann" and they might be equally good.
But if you want to reach the top of the "finals" among the "new moons" such as Chopin, Schumann, Berlioz, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Dvorak, Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Brahms, Debussy, Ravel, etc., plus more peripheral second-tier and third-tier artists,
This is probably the difficulty of hell!

What's more, the current authorities may have other ideas.

If I just go there this time, the chance of reaching the summit is extremely slim, and I will only be able to get closer to the top of the "New Moon" sequence, Fan Ning thought to himself.

However, I'm afraid no one expected that he still had two more trump cards in his hand! Moreover, the early layout was basically mature. If it was operated properly, it might be possible to win the final moment of the "Seven Days Celebration" of the Harvest Art Festival.
However, it seems that waiting for the "Seven Days Celebration" to perform the "Fifth Symphony in C-sharp Minor" is not enough.

We have to prepare a few more "big jobs" in advance.

After Fan Ning thought about it, he had basically decided on some ideas.

"Okay, let's keep a positive attitude." He smiled faintly and said, "Just think of it as a chance to gain knowledge. Roy, tell us about the current situation in San Perto."

In the last few days before heading to the holy city, Roy shared her two-year experience of living there with everyone, and focused on the historical development and operation model of the Harvest Art Festival, one of the top art events in human history.

It is jointly organized by the "Friends of Perto Music Association" and the "Perto Dancers and Art Salon". The main sponsor of these two organizations is the Holy Sun Church. Although it is very loose in Janus and is only semi-official, its influence can be described as "everywhere in the world" -

Basically all government departments, art schools, authoritative media, record companies, musical instrument companies and important figures. All artists belonging to schools or churches have close ties with these two associations!
Although the Harvest Art Festival is an ancient term, the history of the "Society of Friends of Music" and the "Dancers and Art Salon" bringing it back to the stage can be traced back to the "Renaissance Movement" in the 6th century of the new calendar, and it has a long history of 400 years.

However, in the past 100 years, the control behind the scenes has gradually shifted to the discussion group, and the two major associations are more inclined to "undertake". Its operation nowadays is mainly a game between the Holy Pride Sun Church and the Special Patrol Office.

"It's good that the church has a good relationship with you, but it doesn't help you in this matter." Roy reminded, "They have a clear, focused, and determined candidate who they want to push to that position. There is only one person. Although that person has not returned yet."

"Oh, maybe soon." Fanning laid his head flat on the back of the recliner.

Today is the day of arrival, and everyone changed from water transportation to train again.

At this time, in the spacious VIP carriage, Fanning, Roy, Sheeran, Walter and Marley were chatting together, and also discussing the band's next activities after landing.

"Carlon, you seem to really hope that Father Lavoisier from their church will return?" Shilan couldn't help but ask.

"Why not?" Fanning laughed twice. "There is no true music lover who doesn't hope that there will be one more master in the world and that he or she can hear more touching works. Sometimes, the inspiration for creation is mutual."

Walter and Marley couldn't help but admire their boss's mentality and vision.

"That's true. I also hope that those painters who usually live in seclusion can make a high-profile appearance in the holy city this time and express their accumulated inspiration. Being able to see more good paintings is the meaning of coming here," Marley echoed.

The speed of the scenery outside the window is gradually slowing down.

The train has entered the city of San Pereto and is about to stop at the station.

In the last few minutes, Fanning has seen that many relatively tall and conspicuous buildings have been installed with huge "moon" sculptures made of topaz and rhodonite, emitting a prosperous and clear glow in the field of vision.

After changing carriages and starting to travel through the city, everyone also saw clusters of dangling decorative ornaments hanging from street lamps, including wheat ears, moths and knives; huge torches were installed in the middle of several squares, and mechanical jet devices blew the fiery red strips above them into a burning dance;

During the brief time that everyone walked along Waldstein Street, the huge wall clock they saw had been transformed into a majestic lion head.

"Lion, knife, wheat ear, torch." Xilan counted some nouns silently along the way, and finally read them out loud.

"Ah, Carloen, have you noticed that these new sculptures, decorations, and ornaments in various places in the city seem to all be elements of the "Bull Slaughtering Picture" we saw before?"
