It’s 9:40 pm.

After Liu Zhenyue listened to the concert, he quickly came out and started the live broadcast at the entrance of Bridgewater Concert Hall.

Facing the camera, he said excitedly: "Brothers! Shocking! Quite shocking.

“The concert hall is simply designed specifically for symphony, and the musical quality of the entire space is fantastic.

“Before I came to the concert, I kept hearing people say that the experience of listening to a symphony orchestra live is not on the same level as being in front of a screen.

"So, I had raised my expectations very high at the beginning, but after listening to it, I still felt that it exceeded my expectations.

"Good guy, I just listened to the concert before.

"This kind of symphony concert and concert are two completely different things.

"For concerts, it doesn't matter how big the stars are. As long as it's a concert with thousands of people, it's basically about the atmosphere, such a big space, and such a noisy environment, let alone the quality of the music.

"The concert is different. There are more than 2,000 seats at the venue. The concert hall is specially designed for symphony. The listening experience of the music echo is really different.

"I'm not a music student, I'm just an ordinary listener, so I can only evaluate this concert from the perspective of an ordinary listener.

"I have already listened to the "Butterfly Lovers" performed at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and I reviewed it again in order to participate in this concert.

"However, when I heard "Butterfly Lovers" live, the feeling of the notes lingering above my head was even more shocking.

"However, this kind of music and art is shocking, but if you think about it carefully, the benefits of holding this kind of concert are far less than that of a concert.

“This is quite sad.

"Any popular singer in China can hold a concert at will, and it will be a concert for thousands of people, or even a concert for 100,000 people.

“Tickets are also expensive, and the best seats can even cost several thousand yuan each.

"One concert ticket can generate tens of millions in revenue.

“As for the symphony orchestra’s concerts, ticket sales of RMB 700,000 to 800,000 are the highest.

"If you think about it this way, spending energy on organizing concerts will not make any money at all.

"One thing I have to say is, if Fang Xing holds a concert, no matter which city it is, I will definitely grab the most expensive tickets at the best location.

"With Fang Xing's status in the music world, if you want to make money, there are too many ways.

"But he didn't, and I admire him for that.

"Having dreams and pursuits is not just to make money, but to really do things that others dare not do and cannot do."

…

In addition to Liu Zhenyue, many well-known music critics attended the concert.

There are also domestic entertainment media who flew to Manchester specifically to interview.

Among them, there are also some entertainment reporters who specially select foreign audiences to interview in order to obtain more novel news materials.

The Provoking News reporter, holding a microphone, said to the camera: "Friends in the audience, our current location is outside the Bridgewater Concert Hall in Manchester, England.

"The "Butterfly Lovers" themed concert performed by Chinese violinist Lu Xianger and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra has just concluded.

"Now, what we see, the crowds coming out of the concert hall, are the audience leaving the venue one after another after the concert.

"You can tell from the appearance and skin color that the proportion of Asian viewers and foreign viewers is about half and half.

“The Asian audiences are mainly domestic compatriots.

"Since domestic audiences have flown all the way from China to attend concerts, it must be because they like it, and the subjective filter must be very deep.

“So, when interviewing domestic audiences, there will basically be no negative comments.

"In order to obtain the most authentic audience feedback, we decided to interview foreign audiences.

"Come with me. There is a foreign couple in front of us. Let's go up and ask."

The news reporter and the cameraman walked toward a foreign couple who had just walked out of the concert hall.

The couple looked to be in their twenties or late twenties and were talking as they walked.

A reporter from Agitated News walked up and said hello in English: "Hello, can you answer a few questions?"

This foreign couple was very enthusiastic. When they saw a camera filming, they waved to the camera together: "Hi!"

The reporter from Agitated News went directly to the topic: "Where are you from?"

The young man in the couple replied: "We live in Manchester."

The reporter from Provoking News continued to ask: "What is your relationship? Are you a couple? Or are you brothers and sisters?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the foreign young man replied: "She is my girlfriend."

The reporter continued: "Why did you come to this concert?"

The foreign young man communicated with his girlfriend and then replied: "My girlfriend likes the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra very much. She heard that the orchestra was coming to Manchester to hold a concert, so she paid attention to it."

Agitated News Reporter: "So, you came here specifically to listen to the performance of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, right?"

The foreign young man replied: "I didn't decide to come at first. I first paid attention to this concert, then saw the news and heard that the theme of the concert was a poignant love story. We decided to come together at that time."

Agitated News Reporter: “Then do you know who the concertmaster is at tonight’s concert?”

The foreign young man tilted his head and replied: "It's a performer from the East. It's the first time I've seen him. I heard from other audience members that he won a great prize."

Agitated News Reporter: "What do you think of the concertmaster's performance?"

The foreign youth gave a thumbs up and replied: "It's great, we all like it very much."

The interview is over.

Since the entire interview was conducted in English, many viewers watching the video could not understand it.

Therefore, after the questions ended, the reporter turned to the camera and briefly summarized the content of the interview in Chinese:

"These two international friends are locals from Manchester and a couple.

"They didn't know Lu Xianger beforehand, but the girl liked the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra very much.

"They learned that tonight's concert was about love, so they decided to listen together.

"They spoke highly of the concert and thought Lu Xianger's performance was great.

"In order to expand the interview sample, we will find a few more foreign audiences to conduct interviews. Follow me..."

Agitated News reporters found five groups of foreign audiences according to different age groups for interviews.

After all the interviews were completed, the reporter from the Provoking News concluded in front of the camera:

"We interviewed five groups of foreign audiences, ranging in age from nine to sixty years old.

“The five groups of audiences all spoke highly of the concert, and the one who praised the concert most enthusiastically was a fifty-year-old uncle.

"The uncle said that he also works in music. He gave a thumbs up and praised the concert as being very good. He also said that he would listen to it again next time he has a chance.

"Although the sample size of the five groups of foreign audiences is not large, judging from the interview results, it still has reference value.

"Among the five groups of foreign audiences, four of them did not recognize Lu Xianger.

"Only the middle-aged uncle who works in music knows that Lu Xiang'er is a Paganini Gold Medal winner.

"Judging from the interview results, tonight's concert was very successful.

"Also, I just went to the ticket office to ask, and there are no tickets left. It can be said that the seats are packed."

Just as the excited news reporter was summarizing the results of the interview in front of the camera, the cameraman suddenly turned the camera and pointed it at the entrance of the concert hall.

Before the reporter finished speaking, the camera suddenly moved away, and he frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

The cameraman pointed at the door of the concert hall and said urgently: "Look, is that a celebrity? He looks familiar to me."

The reporter turned around and saw that he looked familiar at first sight. He quickly remembered who it was: "That...is...the silver medal! Hurry! Let's go over there for an interview."

He couldn't remember the violinist's name at once, but he remembered his nickname. It was the silver medal winner of the Paganini International Violin Competition, the famous Austrian violinist Patrick Pate.

The reporter from Agitated News walked up quickly, stopped in front of Patrick Pate, and said hello in English: "Hello, I am a reporter from China. This is my work ID. Can I ask you a few questions?"

As a celebrity in Austria, this is not the first time that Patrick Pate has been interviewed.

When facing foreign journalists, you must maintain a dignified image.

After he stood still, he adjusted the hem of his suit and replied, "Okay."

The Stirring News reporter remembered the name of the silver medal winner and asked: "Are you Mr. Patrick?"

"Yes, I'm Patrick Pate."

The reporter from Agitated News continued to ask: "Are you here specifically to attend the concert?"

Patrick Pat nodded: "Yes, I just came from Austria this morning."

Stirring News Reporter: "Mr. Patrick, are you here for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra?"

Patrick Pate shook his head slowly and replied: "No, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is a famous orchestra in Austria. I like it very much, but I usually collaborate a lot, so there is no need to fly over from Austria to listen to their concerts."

The reporter raised an eyebrow and asked: "Then what is the reason that made you fly from Austria to Manchester to attend the concert?"

Patrick Pate was very sincere and replied: "I came here to hear Miss Lu's performance. The violin concerto she performed with the orchestra was very good."
