The playlist and poster spread silently throughout the streets and alleys of counties and cities overnight.
The dead silence of the night, a few touches of blazing gold, the layout is plain and unadorned, the font is pure white and neat: "Symphony No. 2 in C Minor" "Resurrection".
A commercial concert, the ticket price is close to the upper limit of the top ten orchestras, 30 pounds, but the play is so lonely.
There is no distinction between the first and second half, and the list of performers and staff behind the playlist or below the poster is densely packed, and the number directly exceeds 200.
——Everything seemed to tell the audience how huge the length and arrangement of this work would be, how epic its sound effects and narrative structure would be, and the chorus and singers with more than 80 people in the cast and crew list announced to everyone the ambition of this work to climb to the top of the human spiritual garden.
The premiere of Carolyn Van Nin's "Symphony No. 2".
Marketing, publicity strategies or news media laws are completely ineffective in this incident.
In fact, Turner Hall did not make any additional publicity except for releasing the program list and posters for basic performance and ticket purchase information.
But the footsteps, eyes and attention around the world are like a wisp of impurity core appearing in a cup of supersaturated solution, and the speed of precipitation and aggregation is as unstoppable as the law of nature taking effect.
The same strategy of selling tickets in a diversionary manner to cater to the audiences who were watching the performances from other places was adopted. On the first day, 20% of the available tickets were sold out before the first wave of long queues were absorbed. As for the news reports, if any media did not use a page on this matter, the public might doubt the nature of its subject matter.
With Fanning's previous performances, especially "Choral Fantasy in C Minor" as an "endorsement", the art world did not think that this premiere would fail, but whether the result was successful or mediocre, it would be a highlight in the history of art.
Because the process itself is a feat.
In contrast to the outside world, Fanning was busy with the rehearsal of the premiere and the orchestra's affairs.
"Maybe 'Noon' needs to wait until a sunny day with suitable weather?"
At about one o'clock in the afternoon on the ticket sales day, Fanning returned to the living room from the rehearsal room, but without any gains, he took the two paintings from the viewing balcony back to the cloakroom in the living room.
The special lenses that were briefly removed for research were put on again.
He stared at the corner with a look of uncertainty and a deeper sense of urgency.
The direction may be this way, or it may not be.
The museum may have some clues that he has not discovered, or it may not.
It has been almost a year since the Special Patrol Office successfully contained the remains of the "disaster". It must be cumbersome and costly to deal with it, and it will cost more to truly utilize its mysterious properties, but it has been so long after all...
Maybe they will get the revelation related to the "old days" next month, or maybe today, or they have already got it.
No matter sooner or later, all clues will be re-examined, including the secret door, including Vassius, including the sealed room and the mobile phone. The investigation may have just started over, or it may have entered the final stage.
This made Fanning a little worried about the situation on the day of the premiere. There was nothing wrong with the performance itself, but the other things above?
"Their style is that you don't feel their existence on weekdays, but once they really take action, things often progress very quickly and there is no room for redemption."
When I was still signing the membership agreement at the Guidance School, Dupont said this sentence that impressed me deeply.
The naming of "Old Symphony Orchestra" was a smokescreen I left to fight against revelation, and the multiple visits and literature searches during that period were also, which must have played a certain role in interfering with the investigation and delaying time.
I have been collecting information and preparing for responses during this time, including developing my artistic career as quickly as possible, thoroughly consolidating the "character" of "Forged Lion" in the public's cognition, and also including the intensity of inspiration gradually approaching the ninth level limit on the eve of the premiere of "Symphony No. 2", becoming the most valued local leader among the middle-level backbones of the Guidance School.
The Enlightened One in the distant future, the "New Moon" in the distant future-the highest evaluation of Fanning by today's supporters or admirers.
But Fanning is very clear that if he loses any of his current identities in the art world and extraordinary organizations, he will not be greeted by the polite "routine investigation" of the Special Patrol Office.
The premiere of "Symphony No. 2"? If there is suspicion of pollution, just kill it directly. This is the most efficient method that suits their style. How can they compromise and "invite" 15 "friends" to enjoy the music?
Whether they act "domineering" or "cautious" depends entirely on who the other party is. Most of the suspected people are "arrested first and then investigated", but for some people with special identities, they have to beware of "oolong incidents" or be accused of "destroying art and culture".
"It's a pity that I am not a profound person after all, or a master of art 'New Moon' who may not have direct power but has higher gold content and is more scarce"
However, if I can dig out some clues on the eve of the premiere, I will be more proactive in dealing with it.
It also depends on the weather and luck.
After coming out of the living room, Fanning hurried back to work and plunged into intense rehearsals.
However, the weather in this steel city does not seem to be very favorable. Perhaps it is due to industrial pollution, or it may be affected by the ocean currents and typhoons in the Hegdun Sea in the northeast this season. The following days will either be cloudy or rainy, or short-lived. The weather was sunny and sunny at the wrong time.
It wasn’t until July 19, the day before the premiere, that the weather completely cleared in the morning.
At 11:50, he returned to the living room from the rehearsal hall, opened the sloping skylight of the viewing balcony, sat on the wooden floor again, and looked at "Twilight and Wall on the Mountain Top" and "Moonlight on the Dnieper River" Come.
The sun shines warmly on your body.
But I don’t know what I want to do specifically, so I think about it and it’s 2 minutes past 12 o’clock.
Then Fan Ning realized a problem.
It is true that noon is 12 noon, but whether there is sunshine or not, this is only a momentary moment.
If this is a prerequisite for special operations or interpretation prompts, it may take three to five seconds or a few minutes, but the 12 o'clock moment is fleeting, and it is too late no matter how long it takes.
So what if it is a time period centered on 12 o'clock? It doesn't feel right either. How long does this take to be effective? 1 minute ago? After 5 minutes? Half an hour before and after?
Perhaps, "at noon" is just a reference?
When the "opportunity" he had been waiting for for two weeks passed in vain in an instant, Fan Ning caught a trace of such rationality.
In recent times, although he has been busy day and night, he has also been thinking about how to interpret the text.
Prophecy is an event that will occur at a certain time or under certain conditions in the future.
Of course, the prophecy brought out by the Abnormal Zone is too high-level, so we won’t care about it for now. But if Vincent used this text as a clue, it would be very reasonable to use the conditions or methods of "noon" to satisfy the "sunset and moonrise".
"The meaning of 'noon' has undergone long and rich changes throughout history"
"Originally, its Noaic root refers to a tool similar to a 'pole' or a 'club and pestle'. After adding a specific prefix, it became the verb 'to pound with a pestle rod' and differentiated into Tulungaria At the end of the sentence, due to the lack of adjectives, it has extended a series of meanings with similar abstract cores. Different deformations mean 'the irradiation of the sun', 'the process that directly strikes the soul', 'the thing that establishes meaning', 'the thing that breaks through the sky' "Tower" is even a metaphor for "peacemaking in a crude primitive sense", but after reaching the ancient Hofmann language, the meaning of "noon" was gradually solidified to specifically refer to "the irradiation of the sun"..."
"Sunlight?" Fan Ning, who was thinking about the origin of linguistics, couldn't help but look up at the skylight of the observation deck. A beam of sunlight poured in, leaving a brighter rectangular area on the already bright wooden floor. .
He moved "Twilight and Wall on the Mountaintop" to this area, but still did not observe anything unusual.
"The 'noon' here is 'noon', which is the moment when the sun is at its highest. Does the sun need to shine vertically on it? But this is unrealistic. In most of the north of Tiolean, even at 12 noon, the height of the sun at noon is not high. If the chance comes to 90 degrees, you can’t expect me to carry two paintings and run to the southern border..."
Fan Ning's eyes lit up as he thought about it.
"Is it something more general than 'the irradiation of the sun', the 'irradiation of light'?"
He quickly stood up, carried the painting back to the back room, closed the curtains, picked up a retractable desk lamp, turned it on and raised it vertically to illuminate the picture.
Nothing unusual happened in either painting.
"Am I wrong? Or is the light not strong enough to be compared to the sun?"
Fan Ning went to the warehouse to find a stronger military spotlight, but still found no abnormalities.
"Direct sunlight is too difficult, and it's very troublesome for me to implement it. But if it works, it doesn't seem safe enough. If someone happens to shine it directly with strong light, there will be a problem... So, if the thinking direction of 'Noon' is correct, , it has to be a more special method for me..."
"A more special method?"
Fan Ning flashed a strange look and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
Although it is turned off, it may not be able to be turned on for nearly a year, right?
He turned on the phone with some worry, and his spiritual sense made him feel that something like a boundary had been broken. The screen was still on, and the power was still intact, 80% unchanged from the last time he turned it off.
The power charged by the "Tower Man" is different from the charger.
In the text message interface, the unknown existence is still stubbornly reminding itself to "reproduce the music" every day, just like the tampered keys recorded high in the Qiming Church.
Fan Ning ignored it. He turned on the flash and raised it to illuminate vertically.
“…it’s only through control…”
Guchaniz language! ? ...Fan Ning's eyes were glazed over. But why are there just a few lonely words?
However, he immediately realized that this was because the area judged to be vertical was too small.
As the flash panned vertically, the original words disappeared, and more words were displayed:
"After initially leaving detailed impressions, chanting special prayers can control the painting of the seven sacred paintings..."
The radicals of the strokes are proliferated, similar to the "Martian writing" of the previous life, and the word order is also partially reversed.
"If this is normal Chinese, and if you understand a little bit of the meaning of the words, there is still hope of inferring it, but if it looks like this... who else can understand it?"
Fan Ning was very puzzled as to why "Guchanizi" became like this.
I don’t know why Vincent knows this language. This can be explained by the fact that he is also a time traveler, or that he once knew something in the abnormal zone, or a combination of the two?
Of course, he didn't understand it, which had little impact on his reading speed.
Basically, I just glanced at it, then glanced back, and it quickly returned to its normal form in my mind:
"After leaving a preliminary impression of the details, reciting specific prayers can sublimate seven mysterious paintings in a controllable way, and at the same time call upon the one-time invisible power corresponding to the curse seal, which is approximately close to my average ability to understand the secret technique of the Three-layered Vehicle. level."
"Shenxiao Third Level?" Fan Ning's eyes froze for a moment.
His father Vincent in this world, who was the deputy captain of the Aberration Zone Investigation Team and later the director of the Turner Art Museum, is a Seeker who has passed through three doors?
He is actually on the same level as Roy's father, or President P. Boulez, who guides the school?
"So what is the specific prayer?..." Fan Ning pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered that there was another painting "Moonlight Night on the Dnieper River". It was not a mysterious work, but its content was also very special.
So he once again illuminated the text somewhere.
"Title of the Mysterious God"
"The title of the corresponding mysterious work...means that if I have a preliminary impression of the details and recite the Chinese translation of the corresponding mysterious painting, I can call up the invisible power corresponding to the third level of understanding? But if I just use To defend yourself, why does it have to be tied to ascending to the 'Gate of Seven Lights'?"
Doubts remain doubts, this is undoubtedly an emergency measure.
Now that he knew it, Fan Ning stopped delaying, quickly put them in the cloakroom, and then returned to work.
"I hope I won't need them anytime soon."
In the evening, the rehearsal work for the premiere has basically come to an end, leaving only the final steps and local adjustments for tomorrow.
More than 200 performers walked out of Turner Art Hall one after another.
But late at night, the lights were still on in the music director's office.
"...How long will it take you to wake up every day these days?"
"...Is this so?"
"...Listen to some favorite records? Good idea."
"...What about other aspects?"
"...Is this so?"
"...Anyway, a regular auditorium has been demolished here and a pretty good seat has been made. As long as your ears are not broken, you can come here tomorrow sitting or lying down. You can also insist on listening to part of it."
Fan Ning was silent for several seconds before responding to every word Olga said on the other end of the phone.
"You don't have to come here to work first."
"Just come to the concert tomorrow, that's it."
Finally he closed the receiver with a bang.
