Chapter 749 The Turning Point Has Passed

It started with the sudden announcement and phone calls on the morning of the first day.

Messengers and telegrams from the Turner Art Hall headquarters in the Northern Continent were continuously sent to the hands of the old symphony orchestra stationed at the Harvest Arts Festival in the Western Continent!

The pace also fell into a tense situation, and the "latest situation" was once measured in hours!

Then on the second day, two more things happened.

First was the piano solo concert by Maestro Lee Viadrin, which was scheduled for that evening.

This is not normal at all.

The specific schedule of the "Seven Days Celebration" of the Harvest Art Festival has always been that the more important the event, the later it is, and the more popular the event, the later it is, and this is the same for both previous and current sessions.

Although this is not a matter of "ranking leaders", and there is no such thing as "the fourth day is not as good as the fifth day" or "the one at 7pm is not as good as the one at 9pm" that can accurately correspond to the results afterwards, but.

"Li's" piano solo concert was directly scheduled to be performed the next night, which is absolutely abnormal!

For example, Maestro Uccello’s piano concerto was played just now, on the morning of the last day.

Uccello became the "New Moon" ten years earlier than "Lee", but in the past three years, since "Lee"'s comeback, if we talk about who is the most famous piano master in the world, the proportion of people who think it should be "Lee" is absolutely overwhelming!

Therefore, many rumors behind this have spread.

One theory is naturally that it is related to Fanning: the last piece in "Lee's" repertoire is Fanning's new large-scale single-movement work "Piano Sonata in B Minor"!

Because of the inside story before and after Fanning's disappearance on the "revival premiere day" and the various things after her return, there was actually some "secret discord" between her and the official, so "Lee" was also affected.

Some people have questioned this statement: Why was Fanning's own "Untitled" Symphony in C-sharp minor scheduled until the last night of the last day?

But the proponents of this argument also have an impeccable explanation for this question - because it is well known that "Tristan and Isolde" caused the greatest spiritual explosion in the history of the Romantic era, and the authorities could not ignore the facts and make adjustments that are really untenable. Just like the two who created epoch-making masterpieces such as "The Rite of Spring", "Twenty Meditations on the Holy Infants" and "The Art of Fugue" during the holiday warm-up period, their symphonies were also scheduled to be performed on the last day.

The above is one of the explanations behind it.

Another way of saying it is to link the cold reception of “Lee” to the sudden announcement of the House of Commons of Theolien on the first day!

These people who "have inside information" said that the reorganization and merger of the House of Commons was because a mysterious official organization behind it was liquidated by the authorities! ! And "Li" happened to be a senior member of this organization.

In short, the expected results of "Li"

For artists or those who follow them, the end of the Harvest Art Festival simply announces three levels of results: a group of people who are registered/the top 10 who are awarded the "Harvest Award"/the top 3 who ultimately win gold, silver and bronze medals.

The first type of "registration" is for the "Blade Bearers" and "Forging Lions" to attack the "New Moon", and has nothing to do with Li Viadrin;

But the latter two categories are related to the world's most influential "New Moon" rankings, and even the opportunity to become a "Torchbearer"!

It is probably not surprising that the piano master "Li" will end up with regret.

Another thing that happened late at night on the second day was -

Turner Hall headquarters received an official letter!

Montgomery Accounting Consulting Company, another newly formed special audit team, was about to move in early the next morning!

It’s a team of old acquaintances, but this time the employer is no longer their own.

The mandate document was a joint effort of the six executive departments of the Imperial Cabinet.

The object of this special audit is.

Kaplan Art Foundation!!

Apart from the large volumes of the Guidance School that are in liquidation crisis, and apart from the retail investors who are easily controlled and influenced, even the other 13.4% of Turner Cinema Chain's asset structure has also been included in the authorities' coveted scrutiny!

Although the "Kaplan Art Foundation" has been operating honestly over the years, it should be clean and able to withstand investigation.

But no one can guarantee whether the authorities’ intention is to “investigate in an upright manner”!

In terms of response, it is necessary to comprehensively sort out the risk points, fill in and improve the accounting defects, and make emergency drills in advance for some possible "nitpicking" problems.

Fortunately, Lu had keenly sensed some possibilities for the follow-up in various aspects as early as yesterday morning, before the announcement was made.

In addition, warnings were immediately issued to theater executives, including Deputy Director of Finance Olga.

This allowed the entire headquarters' response to be initiated 36 hours in advance!

Of course, all the Turner Hall staff will not be able to sleep for the rest of the night.

On the third day, the audit team arrived as scheduled and is still working on site. The atmosphere is extremely silent, serious and tense.

Then came the third day.

Something happened that night.

The Pope of the Church of the Holy Sun, His Majesty Janing XIX, suddenly came to ask for an audience with the head of the Bologna School, Marquis McAdam!

The two met for nearly 20 minutes.

No one knew the specific content of the conversation. But as the eldest daughter of the family and the proudest daughter of the Marquis, Roy was the first to ask her father about the key points she wanted to know.

It was indeed taken away by Poglelich himself;

You should not dare not release it;

But the subsequent course of events is difficult to predict;

And the church paid a very high price for it.

What was the price? Roy didn't ask.

But it is obvious that since the person was taken away by Poglelić, the price the church paid must be a direct offense to Poglelić!

Although this is also the result of the church's weighing of its own interests.

However, as a partner in promoting modern art, namely the "Tonal Disintegration Project", and as one of the deep binding parties of Turner Art Cinemas,

The Church must confirm in advance and further the position of the Bologna School.

Especially the position on the Fanning issue in the series of struggles that may occur later.

Roy had no way of knowing what the Marquis of McAdam said in response to the Pope on this last point.

She only learned from her father that his reply to the Pope "would be more positive than she thought", but the more important meaning of the reply was "it depends on whether Fanning himself has thought it through."

It depends on whether Fanning has thought it through.

This sentence has been repeating in Roy's mind recently, and she can't figure out whether she should look forward to it or not.

But no matter what, after Roy told everyone the news, everyone's burning anxiety about Fanning's disappearance was greatly alleviated from that moment on.

It's just confusing, if that's the case, why didn't Fanning use a messenger?

Even if I could just briefly report that I was safe, the only explanation was that I had indeed fallen into some more special situation.

Day 4 and Day 5

The final "Seven-Day Celebration" of this Harvest Art Festival, with all its details, is moving towards an increasingly unusual and strange atmosphere.

First there was all this ostentation and ostentation - then it was rectified by the church - and then it was led all over the city by Fanning - these "business wars" that were previously lively, overt and covert but also hilarious, suddenly died down silently.

The same is true for the “ranking inventories” issued by various publications.

By the time people realized it, it had been suspended for several days.

Also, generally speaking, during the festival, the municipal government will have a relatively higher tolerance for minor uncivilized behavior by citizens or tourists in public places.

But this time, that no longer seems to be the case.

Many citizens were severely punished for behaviors such as littering, throwing bottles, distributing flyers, making loud noises, wearing strange clothes, illegally graffiti, or fighting due to emotional arguments!

Not to mention the performing artists, who all canceled their encore performances without any prior agreement.

The city's festive decorations were still grand, and the hotels and cafes were still crowded, but it felt like there was some oppressive, silent air with an invisible sense of control that was being injected into the city inch by inch out of thin air!

Lively calm? Monotonous colors?

It's hard to find an appropriate way to describe it.

But Roy recalled his father’s sudden question or sigh before the premiere of Fanning’s Tristan und Isolde:

"The atmosphere on the eve of a celebration is so enthusiastic, how high can it go at the closing moment?"

Looking at it now, this sentence seems to have come true.

That was really the peak.

And now, the turning point has passed!
