Chapter 669 "Goalkeeper" Fanning

"."

There was a "6" in Fanning's heart.

Because only when he got closer did he see the modern-style "Crescent" font on the cover, as if the sunlight was reflected too coincidentally.

So the thing you threw was a boomerang, and it came back and hit you in the face, right?

Beside him, Roy was looking at him with a half-smile.

"Row."

There was a hint of "I admire you guys" on his face, and he finally took the brand new journal from his female assistant Nicole.

"Just take a look."

After flipping through it, I found out that this group of people, through unknown channels, collected and compiled the final results of the first phase of the Harvest Art Festival throughout spring and summer, which was the "recommendation" phase, thus forming this so-called "Revelation of the Insider Ranking of Recommendation Letters" section!
The people in the world who are eligible for recommendation are the nearly one hundred "Forging Lions" and more than thirty "New Moons". Each of them can recommend three people other than himself. The recommendation weight of a "New Moon" is three times that of a "Forging Lion".

After all, writing a recommendation to a discussion group is a private, point-to-point act that the public has no way of knowing about.
However, in the process of producing one recommendation letter after another, there will inevitably be traces of various human relationships, so for "insiders", it is not difficult to collect some clues.

Hence the name “Insider Revelation”.

However, Fanning had not expected that the guys in charge of the operation of Turner Cinemas could collect such "detailed" behind-the-scenes information about the recommended books, and the total amount of statistics was close to the number of "theoretical votes"!
"Where am I in line?"

Fanning's eyes first quickly scanned the rows of names, a total of 20 rows.

“Oh, I’m ranked 11th.”

He discovered that the person who won the first place in the number of recommendations was Antoine Lavoisier, with 154 votes!
Theoretically, the maximum number of recommendations a single person can get is probably around 200, and this also takes into account the situation where some people "abstain" and do not participate, such as Fanning's own "stand-ins" who disappear.
"This recommendation from the Western Continent is very strong."

In Lavoisier's case, I'm afraid that more than two-thirds of the "Forged Lions" and almost all of the "Crescents" left a place for him in the recommendation letters they wrote!
The person who followed closest to him was the Chief Inspector, composer and musicologist Laxus, who had just been promoted and employed by the Special Patrol Office, with 140 votes!
Then comes Maestro Sweelinck, who is already over 80 years old and has been active in the music scene since the classical period.

This forms the top three.

"Is there something fishy going on?" Fanning smiled maliciously.

Laxus is just a "Forged Lion", how did he rush so far forward?

Later, there are many masters whose names I am familiar with: Viadrin, Niemann, Schillings, Dominic.
In fact, not every master has the energy to ask for recommendations. They are already "New Moon" people, so what else do they need? The recommendations of these people are at the top, mostly because they are recognized by their friends of the same status, or because of the admiration of the "Forged Lions" below. Some other masters who are more eccentric and have a narrow social circle will not care if they are not on the list.

When the discussion group sent out invitations to participate in the Harvest Arts Festival, it was assumed that all "New Moon" letters would be sent!
As for "Forging Lion", it was very difficult to enter the top 20 of the recommendation list in previous years. The discussion group sent invitations to "Forging Lion" and would only be backward compatible and select some particularly outstanding ones.

But this year, I don’t know if it is because the rise of modern music has given latecomers a chance to overtake, but in addition to Lassus, another avant-garde composer I knew before, Solomon Herschel, whose representative work is "Winter Fable", also made it into the top ten.

The range between 11th and 20th place is even larger, with 5 people squeezed in.

Counting the top 20, “Forging Lions” made 7 of them!
My goodness, this “new moon” of mine is at 11th place, not even in the top ten, and I have become a “goalkeeper”?

The name Scheler even ranked 17th.

Why does it feel like the urgency of operating "Scheler" has now been put in the front? This "Lavoisier" is so popular that it has automatically become the "number one" without me having to do anything, right?
"We just need to learn a little bit about this warm-up phase that ended long ago in the spring and summer. The journal was planned this way to arouse the enthusiasm of music fans."

Seeing that Fanning seemed to be gradually lost in thought, Roy hurriedly reminded him.

"First, the recommendation is just a reference for the discussion group. If we really want to compete for gold, silver or bronze awards, we still have to look at the market and public opinion during the festival after entering San Pereto, especially the performance at the 'Seven Days Festival'."

"Secondly, as I just said, the rankings of the 'New Moons' in the front are actually only discussed by music fans. The discussion group is actually more concerned about the overall rankings outside the bottom 15-50. The recommendation is mainly to give 'Forged Lion' and 'Blade Wielder' a chance to show their talents. In addition, there is no guarantee that the Special Patrol Office will have mixed some water in this year."

"Third, because you returned late, you were considered a missing person in the past few months and did not move around at all, so it is normal that your recommendation ranking is not high. Look at Scheler, it is even worse. Obviously, the world's perception is that he is infinitely close to the existence of the 'New Moon'. Well, Father Lavoisier is real, and he has aroused the fanatical pursuit of believers. In the lists compiled by many magazines and journals, he ranks very high. If not first, then in the top three."

The warm sunlight shone on him. Fanning, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was yawning lazily. After hearing the last sentence, he finally looked up and asked:
"Really? There are other lists?"

"Yes, yes, there are so many!" Shilan took over the conversation and counted on his fingers, "For example, the column of Theoline Cultural Weekly is called 'Potential Index Ranking', which is updated every week; the column of Hoffman Gramophone is 'Market Appeal Index', which is updated every day; and the Voice of Janus has a 'Comprehensive Index' list, which is updated every week. In addition, there are also the 'Trend List' of Event News, the 'Popularity List' of Gentleman's Daily, and the 'Possibility of Reaching the Top Factor' of Century's End. They all have their own calculation methods, and I think they all make sense. Oh, by the way, we also forgot our own 'Recommended Insider List' of Crescent Moon."

"." Fanning was speechless after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he asked, "What lists do the two major organizing associations, the "Friends of Pearlto Music Association" and the "Pelto Dancers and Art Salon", have?"

"They don't! They only collect and transfer the lists mentioned before. Only the lists they mention more often will become one of the authoritative ranking calculation methods. Well, here is another authoritative ranking of the list itself in the industry. There are mainly two versions that are more valuable for reference, and the update frequency is once a week."

"." Fan Ning once again made the number "6" in his heart.

He felt that he had not been back for a few years, and in the past few months since he came back, he had not been competing for fame and fortune. He was mainly concentrating on sorting out the operating mechanism of his own theater chain. Now it seems that he can't keep up with the pace of the current art circle?

"My head is badly injured, and I suddenly feel a little dizzy again. Let's pick a house in this yard and settle down first."

"Xilan, bring my medicine to the room later. Yes, bring them all, both the ones for healing this time and the ones for mental problems before."
