“It seems like a reasonable solution. Could you please tell me in detail??”
Philipp Lahm, Secretary General of the Vienna Philharmonic, who visited the management meeting with Camilla Anderson, responded to the association's director's question..
“Realistically, there is no way to prevent fans from personally voting for the band. When selecting the world's best orchestra, it is also wrong to select an unpopular orchestra. So, my opinion is to add a buffer..”
Camilla received Philipp Lahm's words.
“4If you rank each band from 4 to 1, fans' choices will be respected and incidents like today's first group will be less likely..”
The World Classical Music Association nods to the words of Camilla Anderson, Philipp Lahm and several other officials who joined them..
The association also adopted a plurality voting method out of concern that votes would be concentrated, but was unable to respond to 'population'..
However, if we were to rank each group, it seemed like we could have some solution even if it was based on seniority..
Although it was not a fundamental solution, the opinions of Camilla Anderson and Philip Lam were realistic at this point..
But the question remained whether to overturn the results of the first day..
“Thank you for your good comments. We will contact you as soon as opinions are agreed upon at the management meeting..”
Michael Blehacz expressed his gratitude.
Those who visited the management meeting left and the directors began discussing measures again..
“Director Camilla Anderson seems to have a point..”
“It literally just eases it. It's not a fundamental solution..”
“But there is currently no other way. Excluding fan voting and adjusting the ratio will be bigger problems..”
“The authority of the Orchestra Daejeon must not be allowed to decline. Even at this moment, public opinion continues to deteriorate. We need to come up with a solution quickly..”
“Maybe it's better to keep going like this. The bands advancing to the second round have already been announced. Overturning it would also cause huge repercussions..”
“Okay.”
Everyone had a point..
The steering committee lost its way again, and Han Ji-seok, president of the Korean Classical Music Association and director of the World Classical Music Association, who was silently observing the situation, opened his mouth with a heavy voice..
“There is nothing more meaningless than trying to put back spilled water..”
The directors focused on him..
“To refill the jar, you have no choice but to add new water. The opinions of orchestra officials are clearly a good solution. However, it is correct to apply that standard from the next time. This time we have to push on. But that doesn't mean you can't leave the wet floor as is.……
Han Ji-seok's speaking style was strangely persuasive..
The association was most afraid that the prestige of the competition would decline and that the Orchestra Competition, in which all the world's leading orchestras participated, would become meaningless..
The sudden change could have been a publicity stunt for insufficient preparation for the competition..
Han Ji-seok, who ran the Korean Classical Music Association for a long time, took that into consideration and proceeded with the story..
“Among the eliminated groups, the top few bands that received high scores from the judges will be given a new opportunity. Both the eliminated band and their fans will probably be happy..”
“ah.”
As repechage is a method used in many competitions, it was expected that there would be little backlash against it..
At least rather than overturning the result of the first trillion..
“This is a good method. I'm sure the orchestras will be happy to get another chance..”
The association's opinions were finally reached..
“Now that the big picture has been decided, let’s move on to the details. I have to present it tomorrow morning.”
After discussing all night, the management committee found a way and announced new rules the next morning..
[New rules will be added to the OOTY Orchestra Battle】
We would like to introduce the new rules of the OOTY Orchestra Competition to fans who love classical music..
For the following reasons, the competition management decided to hold a repechage match on June 1st by gathering the bands that did not advance to the second round..
1. OOTY Orchestra Daejeon promotes qualitative and quantitative development of classical music..
2. Each orchestra must be given sufficient opportunities according to its capabilities..
3. 1For reasons stated in paragraphs 1 and 2, new opportunities are granted to bands that have demonstrated sufficient skills..
4. Bands advancing to the repechage round are limited to the top 10 out of 21 bands. The number of advancing teams is limited to 4..
We would like to thank the fans who love classical music and watch the OOTY Orchestra Daejeon for their support, and we promise to do our best in running the competition..
thank you.
The fans who had been inflated until then were able to calm down their anger a little due to the association's response measures..
B Yes. This is better. It's not a random rule, it's okay.
ㄴ Honestly, it’s not normal to change the rules in the middle of a competition. Even though I started off wrong.
ㄴ This is much better than the nonsense about eliminating fan voting..
ㄴ I thought the introduction of a point system was okay..
Me too.
Even if it seems like it's best, the decision has already been made. I think this would be much better than overturning it. The association made a good decision..
As it was the first run, there were bound to be some shortcomings, and the repair of the rules without going against the existing ruling was received positively by fans and music industry figures..
Under these circumstances, the one that attracted the most attention was, of course, the Los Angeles Philharmonic..
Fans couldn't help but pay attention to Ariel Finn Jans, who quickly emerged as a dark horse with her good looks and musical talent..
Each media outlet that captured this requested an interview with Ariel Finn Jans, conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic..
Soon, Ariel Finn Jans and concertmaster Seunghoon Lee held an official meeting..
“Due to the addition of rules, advancement to the repechage match has been confirmed. How are you feeling??”
“Even if a sandstorm blows, it cannot stop the shining will. Me and Los Angeles.”
“First of all, I will do my best since I have been given a new opportunity..”
Seunghoon Lee silenced Ariel Finn Jans, who started talking nonsense in response to a reporter's question..
The reporters blinked..
“What is this?.”
“I came out because I was afraid this would happen. Be quiet.”
“under. The excitement has already broken. Not going back.”
Ariel, who took Lee Seung-hoon's hand away, stood up to wash her mouth and left the interview room..
Both the reporters and those watching the broadcast were taken aback by Ariel's sudden behavior..
Seunghoon Lee smiled awkwardly in a situation where everyone had forgotten what to say..
“Let's proceed.”

Because the controversy was so great, the Berlin Philharmonic B, which took first place in Group 1, could not relax..
However, they celebrated briefly after confirming that there was no change in the results due to the association's statement..
“It was really hard during practice, but you understand..”
“Don't even talk. I was so worried because my fingertips were numb..”
“Alright, let’s have some fun today and prepare for the second game. Tomorrow, I will cheer for team A..”
Although it was called a party, the atmosphere was relatively calm as it was just a group gathering for dinner..
As the atmosphere was getting warmer, the members began looking for Bae Do-bin..
“Dobin is?”
“It was there until just now..”
“Oh, I went in first. I thought everyone would care, so I just decided to go up..”
The members’ faces hardened slightly at Na Yoon-hee’s words..
“You don't rest.”
“Because it's Dobbin. They're probably preparing for the second round..”
The restaurant became quiet for a moment, and Dieskau clapped his hands to attract attention..
“Come on, our conductor is working hard, shouldn’t we do the same? Let's all go back.”

Orchestra Daejeon, which created several stories from the beginning, has entered its third day..
3Group could be said to be the biggest event of the preliminaries, and it was clear that the names of the bands included and the stories between them were obvious..
The Berlin Philharmonic A led by the tyrant Wilhelm Furtwängler and the London Philharmonic led by the magician Arturo Toscanini..
No one knew that the relationship between Furtwängler and Toscanini was bitter..
Moreover, the two orchestras had been dividing the European classical music world two years ago, representing the London School and the Berlin School..
In addition, Raymond Donech, the former concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic, moved to the London Philharmonic, so not only fans but also people in the music industry could not help but be enthusiastic about this relationship..
People who visited the concert hall gathered in small groups and talked about today's big match..
“Where will it go up??”
“Does that matter? Of course, London and Berlin. Other places are good, but not on the same level as Furtwängler and Toscanini..”
“that's right. The advancing team has actually been decided. I think the battle of pride is more fun.”
It was a great attraction for those watching, but it was an extremely fierce war for those involved..
As always, Furtwängler gathered the members from the morning..
“Anything less than the best is unacceptable..”
Making mistakes was not a standard for the Berliner Philharmoniker A. Playing the best was the Furtwängler and their goal..
That is why Furtwängler always used to say things like ‘we are the best’ or ‘we must play the best’ before performing..
This time it was similar, but especially today, the Berlin Philharmonic members were particularly accepting..
As Interplay experienced management difficulties, direct media play faded away, but the view of music pursued by the London Philharmonic and the spirit of the Berlin Philharmonic were completely opposite..
It was natural that a war of nerves was going on, knowingly or unknowingly, and it was also clear why they could not lose..
Raymond Donech's transfer.
Furtwängler and the Berliner Philharmoniker have not officially commented on his transfer, but Raymond is among Furtwängler's children (five movements boasted by the Berliner Philharmoniker: Nia Walgrei, Kerba Stein, Henri Vinwsky, Paul Richter, and Les Monts d'Honneque). Donek's transfer was such a big shock to them..
Some felt betrayed.
Some also expressed regret as to why Raymond Donech had no choice but to do that..
That's why I couldn't lose.
20Since they were together for more than a year, he was an undeniable person to them, and at the same time, it was a great wound, so it is not mentioned, but Furtwängler's words contained that meaning..
Because it was a feeling that the members also shared, they strengthened their resolve..

Choi Ji-hoon looked worriedly at Bae Do-bin, who had been looking very uncomfortable since the day before..
When I was with my family and Choi Ji-hoon and some other people, I ended up laughing a lot, but Bae Do-bin's default facial expression was annoyed..
Even to Choi Ji-hoon, who has gotten used to it and now even finds his expression cute, Bae Do-bin has looked very unpleasant these past few days..
Even now, I came down to eat breakfast, but I didn't eat and only occasionally quenched my thirst with coffee..
Choi Ji-hoon cut the sausage and offered it to Bae Do-bin..
Bae Do-bin, who was serious, took it without thinking..
Then, he became silent again, so Choi Ji-hoon once again brought the celery to his mouth..
Bae Do-bin opened his mouth to eat again and looked at Choi Ji-hoon with his face scrunched up..
“What are you feeding me?.”
Jihoon Choi smiled and asked.
“Because of the London Philharmonic?”
“No way.”
Bae Dobin's trust in Furtwängler and the Berlin Philharmonic was absolute..
I had no doubt that I would reach the finals with them, and even though the London Philharmonic was outstanding, I thought there was no way Furtwängler and the members would lose..
Therefore, although I was looking forward to Furtwängler's comeback stage, unlike others, I was not very interested in the battle for pride..
“Then why?”
“……It's not a perfect score.”
“uh?”
“fan vote score.”
Choi Ji-hoon began to feel burdened by the second game he was participating in..
