Chapter 185: Record Sales
When Jiang Chao was busy with the things at hand, he could finally get together with Su Yan and Li Enzhu.
Jiang Chao called Judy and Dong Slow. Judy and Su Yan are already relatively familiar, and this time there are not too many raw points. And Dong Slow was the first time he saw Su Yan, and he behaved very restrained. Lee Eun-joo and Su Yan chatting casually with Dong Slow will make him red-faced.
Jiang Chao asked Su Yan's next step. Su Yan has already found a new company in China, but this time her contract with the company is not long. Su Yan smiled and said, "Three years, I will stay in this company for three years." With the help of the company's channels and resource development, when you have the strength and confidence, you can open a studio and be your own boss!"
For the entertainment industry, Jiang Chao may not have Su Yan's clear understanding, and Su Yan is a very assertive girl, since she has already decided, Jiang Chao will naturally not rashly give any advice.
After chatting for a while, Li Enzhu finally found an opportunity to sincerely express her gratitude to Jiang Chao, and as she spoke, she seemed to recall what happened to her, her expression was emotional, and she couldn't stop saying: "Thank you! Thank you very much!"
Jiang Chao shook his head: "Don't say that! We also need an excellent actor in this movie! Come on! I believe I am not wrong!"
Lee Eun-joo said seriously: "I will not let you down!"
Everyone was very happy at this party, and Dong Slow seemed to have come out of the shadow of lovelorn and became the shy science and engineering man in front of girls.
When she knew that Dong Slow was still single at this time, Su Yan jokingly said to Judy: "Dong Slow is such an excellent boy, do you have any good friends to introduce to him!"
Judy blinked, don't say it, Su Yan's words really made her think......
......
"Jiang Chao, you are on "Gramophone"!"
"Gramophone?" Jiang Chao had just returned from the library, took off his coat at random, and hung it on the hanger at the door, before he slowly came over, sat down next to Judy, and leaned over to read the magazine in her hand.
It's an all-English magazine that a friend of Judy sent to her from Hong Kong, and it has an article about Jiang Chao.
Gramophone is the most authoritative magazine for serious music in the UK, and in fact the most valuable classical music magazine in the world.
Gramophone magazine can be regarded as the "appreciation" column of the vane of the classical music industry. Each issue features a repertoire of classics or recent creations, written by writers who are often recognized by the world's greatest masters.
In the recent issue of the "Tasting" column, what I tasted was Jiang Chao's concerto. Because this piece is Jiang Chao's first piece, it is called Jiang Chao's "Concerto 1" by insiders.
The evaluation of "Gramophone" is very rigorous. It evaluates the piano concerto from all latitudes, and generally praises it, but points out some shortcomings, such as the fact that the whole piece depends too much on the level of the performer, and simply says that it is a piece with a high upper limit but a lower limit.
"Gramophone" fully affirms Jiang Chao's talent for composition. There is a passage in it: "Jiang Chao's works are very personal! This is the most rare. If you have listened to Jiang Chao's performance, then you will probably understand what I said. Jiang Chao perfectly integrated his style on the piano into this Concerto 1. As an aside, I was fortunate to be a judge of the German Prize Competition, so I was very impressed by the playing style, and when I first heard Concerto 1, I immediately knew that this piece was probably composed by Jiang Chao!"
Jiang Chao's first record sold well. Digital downloads of records have topped the category of foreign classical music, and physical records became the best-selling DJ records last month.
And the reason for the high sales is inseparable from the promotion of concerts.
In the past period, several piano masters, conductors and the world's top ten symphony orchestras have performed Jiang Chao's concerto1, and the celebrity effect has made almost half of the world's classical music circles hear Jiang Chao's name.
Due to the characteristics of Jiang Chao's piece with a high upper limit but a lower limit, the effect of different people playing it is very different. Every maestro, every renowned conductor poured their own understanding into this piece, and at one time there were many versions of the music with very different styles.
Among them, the cooperation between Lang Lang and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is the most exciting. That concert took place last weekend, Lang Lang was invited to play at the Royal Concertgebouw in England, and he played his usual "immersive" playing style, bringing everyone into it with his distinctive playing skills, and his impeccable performance level, which worked seamlessly with the orchestra and conductor, pushed Jiang Chao's piece to a height that no one else could reach.
Jiang Chao also had to admire. Although his own version is impeccable in terms of performance skills, there is still some gap between him and Lang Lang in terms of cooperation with the symphony orchestra. This is understandable, after all, Lang Lang is a well-known high-frequency performer, and has collaborated with the world's top ten symphony orchestras several times, and even has a tacit understanding.
For a time, Jiang Chao's fame was growing day by day. Many business cooperation found Jiang Chao, and a mess of commercial performances were also contacting Jiang Chao.
In order not to disrupt his life, during the time he was busy with the film crew, Jiang Chao simply set up an agent studio in Xingyu Film and Television, and set up a team to take care of his performance career.
I don't want to go down the path of a professional performer, but I can't help myself.
There are all kinds of commercial performances to find Jiang Chao, such as the completion celebration of the project in a small county town, and the marriage of the son of a local tyrant...... Jiang Chao couldn't laugh or cry about this, and asked the studio to push away those meaningless performances.
At the same time, some variety shows also targeted Jiang Chao. The process of participating in a variety show last time is vivid, and a performer of Jiang Chao's level does not need to be exposed to earn popularity, and second, there is no need for publicity, so naturally he politely refuses.
However, there were two performances that Jiang Chao couldn't refuse.
One is the local Lantern Festival Gala in Qianhe Province. Jiang Chao couldn't help but be speechless, it's only been a few months now? The Lantern Festival is still more than half a year, and the appointment will start at this time? And what can't make Jiang Chao refuse is that the inviter is the director of the Lantern Festival Gala, Jiang Jin's college classmate, he asked Jiang Jin to intercede, although Jiang Jin didn't care and told Jiang Chao that he could go, and if he couldn't go, forget it, but Jiang Chao didn't want his father to lose face in front of his old classmates, so he happily agreed.
And Jiang Chao knows that there will be more and more performances that are not easy to refuse in the future.
Another show that can't be refused is just next week.
The school's anniversary has arrived.
This year is the 90th anniversary of the birth of Tunghai University, and it is also the 70th school sports meeting.
The opening ceremony of the school celebration and school sports meeting.
While the students in the East China Sea were busy with the mid-term exams, the school staff and the student council had already started to prepare for the preliminary work.
The school leaders also deliberately found Jiang Chao.
