Pavarotti sang a song. Naturally, it won a full round of applause. The three world tenors then took turns to perform, and after a nearly hour-long performance, there was a half-hour break in the intermission. Spectators can go to the living area to rest. The living area is located outside Duanmen Square, East Gate and West Gate to provide drinks and souvenir sales. Among them, the general audience rested in the Duanmen Square, and the VIPs were in the senior personnel rest area outside the east and west gates.

The first piece of the concert enclosed with the famous aria "Woman is fickle" from Verdi's opera Rigoletto, a dramatic aria that culminated in Carreras's rendition, followed by Pavarotti's singing of his most famous masterpiece "My Sun", which caused the audience to burst into the loudest applause and cheers since the opening ceremony. Composed in 1898 in Naples (Napoli), it has been widely repertoire by well-known tenors such as Enrico Crusoe, Lugano Pajulotti and Andrea Bogari, as well as pop rock artists such as Brian Adams, as well as Pavarotti's masterpiece. There are very few folk songs as popular around the world as "My Sun", which became the most popular folk song in the world in the late 20th century after being sung by famous Italian singers Stefano, Pavarotti and Caruso.

The three tenors took turns to sing each other last time, Lao Pa sang motionlessly with a solemn and solemn chest, Lao Duo sang with a thick nasal voice and elegant demeanor; Lao Ka was impulsive and full of expression. Singing hoarsely. The host of CCTV is seriously introducing the meticulous preparation for how long and how long, and the director of CCTV is proudly introducing how much and how much broadcasting equipment there is, and how much it will be made to the international advanced level. At the same time, many shots are shaking, and the close and far shots look so blurry, and the yellow cancans are very different from the few times in Rome and Paris, at least in terms of shooting.

The three of them sang the song "Return to Surento" together, setting off another climax of the concert. This work, arranged by Schifflin, is gorgeous, smooth and cheerful, and is the most successful example of bel canto singing popular works and "three highs" singing together.

Later, Pavarotti took the stage to sing another of his masterpieces "Nobody Sleeps Tonight", which feasted the audience's ears. This song is from the opera "Turandot", and the plot describes the beautiful Chinese princess Turandot announcing: There are three riddles, and if you can guess it, you can be recruited as a son-in-law, and if you don't guess, you will be killed. As a result, the princes of various countries were gathered, the fate of the Persian prince was killed because he did not guess correctly, and the Tatar prince Calaf disguised himself, but guessed the riddle. Turandot was the result of her grandmother's tragic death after being captured by the invading Tatars**, and said that she had avenged her grandmother by using this idea to kill foreign suitors. Although Calaf guessed the riddle, Turandot was unwilling to keep his promise. As a result, Calaf made a pact with Turandot that she would guess his real name the next day, or else he would carry out his promise. Turandot asks Calaf's maid to listen, and the maid commits suicide to keep the secret. In the end, it was Calaf himself who explained his identity and made Turandot awe-inspired. Be willing to commit yourself to Him. The libretto for Princess Turandot is a five-act fable by the Venetian writer Carlo Guzzi, based on the fairy tale Arabian Nights, which became popular in France at the end of the 17th century. There are many characters in the original story, among which the Tatar princess Adema, who served Princess Turandot due to the destruction of her motherland, originally played a key role, and tried to commit suicide in the play, but it was deleted in the opera, and it was replaced by the innocent and cute little girl Huanliu'er favored by Pchenyi. At least four composers had written the same story before Pouchini, including Weber, Busoni, Hendermit, and Puccini's mentor Bashani, who is said to have been interested in writing because he had seen Buccini's play of the same name.

In the summer of 1920, Poucheni had officially decided to rewrite Princess Turandot, which depicts the love and hatred between men and women, into an opera, and he asked the playwright Adami and the journalist Simoni to begin rewriting the play. Adami had written the play "C. Gozze" in 1903, so he had a good grasp of the story of "Princess Turandot". As for Simoni, he was sent to Beijing by the Evening Post in 1912 and had some knowledge of Chinese customs. He should have provided advice on the surprising and apt Chinese background in Princess Turandot's script, and the script for the first scene of Act II by the three ministers may have been entirely his handwriting.

The Turandot opera in three acts was Puccini's last opera, and cancer took his life before completing the duet he planned to be the climax of the play. The last of the work was replaced by Alfano in 1926. The script for this work, written by Adami and Simoni based on the play of the same name by the Italian playwright Gozzi.

Pavarotti finished with a symphony, after which the three tenors took the stage again. The chorus sang "Distant Santa Lukia", and once again ushered in bursts of cheers.

In the live TV broadcast, the audience saw many celebrities in the VIP seats through various cameras, the most dazzling of which were the stars in the entertainment industry, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Xu Peidong, Liu Huan, Huang Hong, Chen Hong, Sun Yue, Man Wenjun, Cui Zongli and other characters with high exposure on weekdays, who willingly became the chasers of the "three highs" that night.

When the "Three Highs" sang "My Sun" together, the audience applauded thunderously. As the camera moved, a familiar figure stood up and slapped hard, his "out of line" table was very eye-catching, this person was Chen Kaige. Chen Hong, who was sitting on the side, did not react to her husband's "excessive" behavior, but just stared at the performance on the stage with a happy face. Huang Hong and Sun Yue of the Optimist faction always looked smiling in front of the camera, and when they saw the excitement, the two also shouted something at the stage. Liu Huan, the "big brother" in the music world who came with his wife, seems to be less attentive to watching the performance than his wife, because when the camera flickers over his childhood, he is not staring at the stage, but silly at the camera. Feng Xiaogang, who is missing Xu Fan, looks very solemn, and when the camera sweeps over several times, he seems to be worrying about the toiling public. The most half-hearted is the tall supermodel Cui Zongli, who is looking forward to the performance, but he stands there with his face behind him and keeps pressing the camera in his hand.

And these stars all pay out of their own pockets to watch the show, because ID cards are required to buy tickets, so it can be found that the stars are buying high-priced tickets.

After the three tenors finished singing, they did not say a word, and after greeting the audience, they walked behind the stage together, and then the four spotlights of the stage suddenly dimmed, and the originally bright and clearly visible stage suddenly fell into darkness.

A minute or two later, when the audience hesitated, the four lights on the stage were spotlighted. One after another, I don't know when there was an extra grand piano on the stage, and the band sitting on the stage gradually began to play, and then I saw Chen Feng wearing a straight evening dress, walking from behind the scenes to the stage and walking to the grand piano.

At first, everyone didn't react, until the front row of the audience suddenly erupted into an earth-shattering cheer, shouting "long", and the audience behind the audience also saw Chen Feng in a formal suit, with a calm momentum, sitting in front of the piano gently, and then began to play himself.

A soothing but determined sound of music flowed from his fingers, and he began to sing his official Italian song "Unnuovogiorno".

The scene suddenly changed from the boiling frenzied atmosphere just now to suddenly became very solemn, and everyone closed their mouths very consciously, feeling the shock and excitement brought by Chen Feng's song one by one, for fear that they would miss a word.

Although Chen Feng does not have the husky voice of the blind Italian singer Andrea Bocelli, the song is interpreted by his slightly uninhibited and rough voice, which also has its own unique charm and appeal.

The song was originally only four minutes, but Chen Feng increased it to six minutes after making some changes in the arrangement. And the middle part of the band plays. Chen Feng has changed a lot, and judging from yesterday's rehearsal, the effect is still good.

As soon as the song ended, the originally silent auditorium suddenly erupted like a volcano, with thunderous cheers, screams, whistles and shouts. The shouts of "long!" and "long" are endless, turning what was originally a solemn and elegant concert into a carnival and passionate concert.

Even the audience who was originally polite and polite before, suddenly became wild and uninhibited one by one at this time. Some excited fans rushed out of the audience one after another, rushing towards the direction of the stage, breaking the original orderly order of the scene at once, which made the armed police who were originally five steps and one post on the scene like facing a big enemy, and quickly formed three human walls in front of the stage for the first time.

Later, the armed police and police, who were completely decorated, also stopped the fans who rushed out of their seats in front of the stage, persuading them to return to their seats.

The concert scene suddenly fell into chaos, which everyone had never thought of before, after all, the fans in everyone's impression before were more rational. Unexpectedly, when I met Chen Feng (Long), it became such a situation.

Even, a few excited female fans, under the extreme excitement of the spirit, tried to see Chen Feng up close, hit the human wall composed of armed police, and finally fell to the ground with exhaustion and fainted on the spot......

Chen Feng went directly off the stage after the singing, and in the original plan, he was going to go on stage to say a few words to support Beijing's bid for the Olympic Games, but was politely vetoed by the organizers, because the concert was broadcast on nearly 100 TV stations around the world, which had a great impact. And the nature of this concert is a concert, and it is also a concert of the world's three major tenors, not a concert for the Olympic bid, at this point, the organizer and the three tenors signed a contract has been indicated, and resolutely linked the concert to the government, so this concert can be linked to the Olympic bid when the domestic propaganda is made, but in essence, this is not the case, the three tenors may not all be very supportive of Beijing's Olympic bid, to put it mildly, they are coming to China to make money, and choosing to perform on the International Olympic Day is just the arrangement of the organizers。 It's not their own will, they're just paying to sing.

The three tenors didn't say a word on stage except for singing, but Chen Feng, as a guest performer at this concert, had to speak on stage and talk about the Olympic bid to the audience all over the world, which was obviously a bit out of place, and it was a bit noisy.

Chen Feng naturally understands the concerns of the organizers, and he himself knows that it is the same whether he says it or not, this time Beijing can win nine times out of ten, so naturally he doesn't need to do so much. However, then again, he performed on stage, although he did not say a word, his actions undoubtedly showed his support for Beijing's bid for the Olympic Games, and naturally he could also form a certain amount of public opinion in the world.

Chen Feng stepped off the stage directly, and he was unexpectedly surprised by the chaos that occurred in the audience afterwards, but he had already come down, and Chen Feng had no intention of continuing to go up. He believed that the police and armed police who maintained order at the scene could control the situation, so after he went to the studio behind the scenes, he politely said hello to the general manager of the organizer, Chen Huarou, Pavarotti, Domingo, and Carreras, and went back directly through the safe passage.

What he didn't know was that the chaos lasted for nearly half an hour before it was brought under control by the police and armed police who arrived one after another. It is a little reassuring to note that although the concert scene was chaotic, fortunately there were no injuries except for a few fans who fainted from excessive excitement.

The concert was originally scheduled to end at more than ten o'clock in the evening, but who knew that Chen Feng's performance would appear, so Shengsheng postponed the concert for half an hour before the concert could continue. You know, this is in the face of the world's live broadcast, after the chaos appeared, the organizers quickly activated the emergency plan, in this half hour, the Central Symphony Orchestra on the stage continued to play some excerpts from the famous opera, and the three tenors were naturally postponed on stage.

Fortunately, this concert is the last performance. After the order of the scene was stabilized, the "drinking song" in the last opera "La Traviata" of the concert, three Alfred naturally had to be paired with three Violettas, and three Chinese soprano singers would be honored to cooperate with the "three highs".

Originally, the combination of Chinese and Western singing by these six people can be said to be the climax of this concert, but after Chen Feng's song "Unnuovogiorno" before this finale, which lasted for half an hour of chaos, the final "Drinking Song" Everyone sounded a little boring. When the six people sang the show, they only got a few applause, and there were no cheers, which couldn't help but make the world's three major tenors very depressed, and even made the three domestic sopranos so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood. Needless to say, the skills of the world's three major tenors are just needless to say, and now that the audience is reacting like this, doesn't it mean that the three of them can't sing well, so they can lead such a result?

Speaking of which, there are few words that the Chinese audience can understand throughout the performance, but it is really curious that so many audiences are still willing to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars for tickets to enter the venue. A college student who saved up for a ticket two months ago said, "I listened to the melody and the passion that Sangao released in the melody. This answer not only reminds people that from the perfect combination of the solemn Forbidden City and Western opera, to the audience's costumes and appreciative applause during the performance, this concert is destined to be very different from the previous pop concerts that wish everyone to twist their necks and butts together.

After the finale song, the world's three leading tenors in the Forbidden City Square concert came to an end, but its resonance was great. Whether it is the master who is fortunate enough to be among the tens of thousands of viewers to look up at the "three highs" style and can afford to "set the world's best" ticket price, or the people who are "unlucky" can only sit in front of the TV and live a "three highs", they also enjoy the sound of tearing the air one after another in the hot air of this summer.

After watching the whole "Three Highs" concert, many people have a feeling that what this concert makes the people feel is not the charm of art, but the coldness of money, especially when money and art are skillfully combined, making art a tool for some people to exploit many people, the "art" is particularly "cold-blooded and vicious" to make people shudder.

The word "exploitation" is rarely mentioned anymore now, because it conjures up images of bloody class struggle. However, in an economically underdeveloped country, in a country where many people are still struggling for food and clothing, and in a developing country that is striving for a well-off life, it has broken out the "world's best" fare record that surpasses the "Guinness Book of the World". Can this still be called "art"?

We are not opposed to any "art expression" that hypes "art" as a commercial activity, but if an art is born or stored only to simply scavenge the money in the pockets of the common people into the pockets of a few organizers and artists, then how much benefit does such "art" have to the society, the country, and the nation?

In a commercial era, it is impossible to expect a certain commercial performance to have such functions as disaster relief and rescue of Hope Primary School. However, this cannot be a reason to use art to make "the poor poorer and the rich richer".

Obviously, the ticket price of the "Three Highs" concert is a money game to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. We have no way of knowing how much the concert will be earned, and how many of it will go into the pockets of "private individuals" and "certain people", but we know with accuracy that at least tens of thousands of young people who love art and aspire to become artists are unable to enter the palace of art because they have no money, and they are unable to further their studies and studies because they have no money.

Although the three tenors are all in their fifties and sixties, and some of the repertoire has not been fully sung, the performance of the three tenors today is still relatively satisfactory, which is inseparable from their vocal and physical conditions, as well as their rich stage experience.

The performance of three tenors such as Pavarotti will undoubtedly greatly promote the exchange between Chinese artists and top international art masters, and achieve the purpose of launching the "China Three Highs" through the "Three Highs of the World". The concert was also broadcast live on CCTV, which had a positive effect on the popularization of fine art in China. Ye Xiaogang, a professor at the Central Conservatory of Music, believes that today's Sangao concert is a very good learning opportunity for the Chinese music industry. The singing level and live performance of the three tenors are excellent, and the length of their artistic vitality is amazing. Of course, the "three highs" also operate very well in packaging, and they have a perfect broker system, so that their basic rights and interests are protected, and at the same time, the artistic standard is also guaranteed.

Although the three tenors have all held solo concerts in Beijing, this is the first time they have sung on the same stage here. Moreover, compared with the glorious history of the "Three Highs" performing together in the past, this time the performance is set in the ancient Forbidden City, which makes the significance of the concert extraordinary. This is China's largest investment so far and in line with international standards for a major foreign-related cultural exchange activity, and the success of the concert also fully demonstrates Beijing's ability to organize large-scale events.

However, when the concert was about to close, there was a chaotic situation of fans storming the stage, which brought a trace of discord to the whole concert, especially since the concert was broadcast live to dozens of countries around the world. This has made some government officials feel that they have lost face in the international community. As the organizer, the Chinese Culture and Art Company was criticized by the Ministry of Culture for the first time, and issued a huge fine.

However, the short-term excitement and chaos of the long fan scene was considered by some departments in China to be a loss of face and a shame for the country, but it did not cause much reaction internationally, because at this time, almost everyone around the world knew Long's influence and appeal in the fan group. Therefore, the domestic media naturally did not express anything on this matter, but the international community felt that it was normal, and there was no need to report it, and at most it was just a brush-off, which made some people and departments in China greatly relieved.

According to the report, the three tenors concert sold 25,000 tickets, with the highest ticket price of $2,000 and the lowest ticket price of $60, and it is expected that the ticket revenue alone will be close to $18 million, while the expenditure will only exceed $10 million. Lu Jixing, executive deputy general manager of Chinese Culture and Art Co., Ltd., which hosted the "Three Highs" concert, revealed that the tickets sold this time should have a surplus, earning about 60 million to 70 million yuan.

This unintentionally revealed news immediately caused an uproar in China. Making sixty or seventy million in one night can really be said to be a money game.

After the concert, Chinese and foreign audiences had different opinions about it, and most of them shared the feeling that the atmosphere of the performance was first-class and the effect was unsatisfactory.

Professor Huang of the Central Conservatory of Music said his impression of the performance was that it was "not refined and rigorous enough." "And," I could hear that the voices of the three tenors were a little tired, and Pavarotti had a slight difference. However, he also said that despite the trio's skill, Domingo in particular was "really good". As a professional, he believes that more important is that the concert has allowed more Chinese people to understand the art of opera, "I hope that this qiē can bring a new breath to the art of opera in China."

Zeng Li, a famous stage designer and designer of the Taimiao version of the opera "Turandot" and the ballet "The Red Lantern Hangs High", commented that the design of the concert was "a bit thin", but considering the restrictions imposed to protect the noon gate, "it is already very good to do this". My impression of the performance was that it was very lively and the atmosphere was good. But there were so many people that the people sitting in the back were simply looking at the sky, so the whole show was more like a big rally. ”

Some people pointed out that the state of the three highs has passed its peak, and all that can be done now is to make money to support the family in the style of "singers going to the holes". Let's start with the schedule. Without the knowledge of the Chinese side, Sangao has already held a performance in South Korea on the 21st. This schedule also includes press conferences and the turbulence of the plane. In this kind of tense time, how can Sangao really give full play to his true or best singing state, is obviously a problem.

Explaining the incident, Samgao's agent said, "This will be beneficial to Beijing's singing, because South Korea's singing will help promote the success of the Beijing concert," and said that South Korea could be used as a "rehearsal". -- If this is also an explanation and is accepted by the public, I believe that everyone is like me, and their brains are not very good. Perhaps, the kind-hearted Chinese people have been swept away by foreigners again.

This concert is actually not the "last collaboration" of the three highs at all, but a purely commercial performance. As for the other party's claim of "the final cooperation of the three highs", it is just a small gimmick. It is a miracle that this kind of blatant hype can take root in the land of Chinese entertainment, which is rich in artistic soil and hype experience.

The commercialization and industrialization of art have given artists a broader living space, and the extensive social demand has made the supply of "prodigies" and "geniuses" in short supply. The title of "master" is getting cheaper and cheaper, and up-and-coming rookies are busy. Record companies hunt for prey like hunters, and agents gamble at risk, and if an artist falls into their trap, it's hard to control their fate. This is a very common phenomenon in today's world music scene.

During the annual performance season, Pavarotti has to work hard because of his contracts with various opera houses, performing here today and there tomorrow. Often, just after a performance at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, I have to fly to the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Italy, and I can't even breathe. Because I was too tired, I had several times when I sang in the high register. This year marks Pavarotti's 40th anniversary, and several commemorative recordings of him have been released worldwide. For this reason, despite his poor health, he had to follow the arrangements of performers and agents, and held concerts and promoted records in New York, Paris, Milan and other places. On June 21 and 23, after attending the "Three Highs" concerts in Seoul and Beijing, he will perform in Hong Kong on the 27th and Santiago, Chile, on the 30th. Naturally, the appearance fee is very substantial, and the record company and the agent make a lot of money from it.

Pavarotti was blunt, answering a reporter's question about whether it was the last time to sing, saying: "Our agent always tells others that this is the last time. Actually, it's to get more people to come to the show. While this kind of confession makes us appreciate it, it is naturally embarrassing.

The most touching thing about this performance is this honest old pa. At first, the audience applauded Lao Pa's appearance the most enthusiastically. But after a few songs, even the layman can hear it, Lao Pa's voice is hard and dry, and every time he rushes to the high register, he looks reluctant, and his expressionless face makes people even wonder if Lao Pa's feelings have dried up. The audience began to shake their heads and sigh secretly, is this still the king of our soprano C? Even his best "Nobody Sleeps Tonight" has been performed so worryingly. The old handkerchief on the stage stood there as usual, but this time it was not calm and leisurely, but Lian Po was old, and the small white handkerchief that was once beautiful was also lifeless. It seems that the 66-year-old Lao Pa is old.

It is an indisputable fact that the three highs are far from the peak, although they are a gift from God. I remembered that ten years ago, when everyone talked about the three high schools, they were fighting for who was the most powerful in the three high schools. I am afraid that the splendor of the three highs was forever fixed on that feast in Rome at that time.

No matter how Pavarotti, Domingo, Carreras sing, this concert has reached its extreme. The successful holding of a concert attended by tens of thousands of people reveals the following information: the operation of international large-scale elegant art and classical art must have a culturally open environment and situation, and the opening of the world's "three highs" concert in the Forbidden City of China shows that we have this condition; The sopranos are also capable of grand and exquisite stage design, and most importantly, we have an increasingly mature audience of fine art, whose costumes, manners, and polite and appreciative applause show the audience's taste for the pursuit of high art.

When the people were full of sighs about Lao Pa's soprano king, they were also admiring Chen Feng's Italian song "Unnuovogiorno" that he played and sang at this music festival, which attracted wide attention from the world media for the first time. The beautiful and passionate melody of this song, Chen Feng's sexy and slightly melancholy voice, the combination of the two, can be called perfect, the first time, appeared in the world's media, and entertainment TV stations in various countries have broadcast Chen Feng's singing video for the first time. The world's major media have praised Chen Feng's Italian song, and some music critics have regarded it as another classic of long, one of the top ten songs that must be listened to this year. Moreover, because Chen Feng's song is an Italian song, and Chen Feng's Italian singing is clear, and there is no trace of foreign tones, which is also a topic in the world, Chen Feng's Italian is not very good. It's just that because the reporter can't interview Chen Feng himself, he can only indirectly interview the world's three major tenors, and the members of the symphony orchestra who collaborated with Chen Feng this time have been able to confirm this speculation from the outside world, especially from the mouths of Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras, Chen Feng is very proficient in Italian, and Spanish is also very good! As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused a great repercussion in the international community again, and large-scale discussions, Chen Feng's age, his English proficiency has been surprised and praised by the world, when he was interviewed by a TV station in South Korea, he broke out his fluent Korean, in Japan broke out his fluent Japanese, and now he broke out Spanish and Italian, so that if you count, doesn't it mean that Chen Feng, a sixteen-year-old (one year old) Chinese legendary teenager, an international superstar, he can currently speak at least six languages, and five foreign languagesIn addition, it has been reported by the media that Chen Feng is an excellent student in school, and his sports achievements have attracted worldwide attention, and he has broken the Asian record in the provincial games...... and so on. In the past, some parents in various countries around the world who complained about their children's crazy worship of LONG also changed their original views after learning such news, but actively cooperated with their children one by one, so that they could regard Chen Feng as an example and study hard.

Before that, there was also a British magazine, when doing a survey, Long was selected as a model of "the most ideal child in the hearts of parents".

It can be said that now as long as parents in the world are expected to have a son Jackie Chan, they will take Chen Feng as a typical case of educating their children.

On the Internet, Chen Feng's video of playing and singing has been cited as a hit, and the click-through rate has risen seasonally and remains high, and many phishing websites and web pages are also the first time to use Chen Feng's "A New Day" as a gimmick for the click of a rookie on the Internet, which also indirectly led to a certain outbreak of Internet viruses on Cheng Dù.
