Chapter 170: Recording a Record
As the largest classical record brand in the world today, DG can be said to have witnessed all the important figures in the music scene for the past century, and is unanimously recognized as a hotbed of classical performance greats.
Since its establishment, DG has produced more than 100 world-famous artists in various periods, such as conductors Karajan and Abbado, musicians Mutt and Pletnev, singers Domingo and Carreras, and Chinese cellist Wang Jian and pianist Lang Lang...... It can be said that being able to sign a contract as an exclusive artist of DG has been recognized by the elite of the world's music and art industry.
On the one hand, it is a great honor for a music artist to be able to record at DG, but on the other hand, DG also needs to constantly sign new artists to increase the value of its company. DG's brand value is enhanced by its artists who continue to dominate each era.
Another reason why DGs are so good is that they often see before they become world-renowned artists. Old John was already sure that Jiang Chao would definitely become an epoch-making figure in the future, so he couldn't wait to stop in front of Jiang Chao.
I have to say that Jiang Chao was moved. If the invitation I received at the German Prize last time was just an attempt by DG to try my luck, then this time DG must have shown the best sincerity.
Jiang Chao grew up listening to music released by DG Records under the influence of his father since he was a child. For Jiang Chao, being able to record and release records in this company is like a child who has watched the NBA since he grew up and can play in it when he grows up, which is the fulfillment of his feelings.
Jiang Chao pondered for a long time, but there wasn't much to think about. Jiang Chao knew that he would have to record and release a record sooner or later, and DG was already the best in the industry, so what reason did he have to refuse? Old John suddenly became excited, wiped his sweat again, and said very excitedly: "This is really good! This is the best news I have heard during my visit to China!"
Next, Old John went back to prepare for the signing. He has a high level of authority at DG, and for his level, leading the signing of artists does not require multiple layers of approval. That night, John Sr. obtained the approval of the headquarters, and a contract was successfully produced.
John Sr. will be in China for a few more days, but this is not the best time to launch the signing ceremony. Old John thought about it for a long time and decided to create the first record for Jiang Chao first, and then hold a signing ceremony when the time is ripe.
Old John called to tell Jiang Chao about the idea. When Jiang Chao heard it, he also felt that it was okay, and it happened that he had nothing else to do recently, so the two hit it off and decided to record the "Piano Concerto in D Major" performed by him himself in Kyoto.
But recording the concerto is not an easy task, there are many preparations involved, and Jiang Chao still needs to wait for a few days.
And after saying goodbye to Jiang Chao, Maitherine rushed to the next city. She has a rich itinerary in China this time, and she will go to seven cities to perform in a row.
Jiang Chao is not in a hurry, and has taken Judy through the streets and alleys in the past few days to feel the brilliant capital of China that has gone through ups and downs.
Some people say that Kyoto is a desperate city, because of the high housing prices, the people at the bottom do not see any hope for upward mobility. But if you want to ask people if they love the city, most people should love it. Because it is the capital of China, it carries so much history.
Jiang Chao likes to travel.
Most people in the world will not be able to leave the circle in which they have lived since they were raised for the rest of their lives. Countless people have formed countless such small circles, and the scenery of each circle is different, which is humanity. The biggest meaning of tourism is to be able to jump out of your own circle in the stop-and-go and go to other people's circles to find that the world is far more than what you see.
Jiang Chao pulled Judy to see the alleys and alleys full of Beijing flavor in old Kyoto, and the leisurely and leisurely life of old Kyoto people, and really felt the kind of "Beijing flavor" that permeated in "Teahouse";
Both images are Kyoto – both are real Kyoto. Jiang Chao and Judy have seen a lot, and their mood has naturally changed, and they can't help but sigh that this city is a collision and fusion of the old and the new!
......
Jiang Chao has never "touched" Judy, and neither of them has even slept in the same bed. But after a few days of getting along with each other "under the same roof", there is no longer the "uncomfortable" feeling that I had before. Although Judy is still shy, she can already calmly do things in a nightdress in front of Jiang Chao.
Today, it was the recording date agreed with Old John, and Jiang Chao woke up early. Judy was already reading a book in the other bed. Judy always woke up earlier than Jiang Chao. Seeing that Jiang Chao was awake, she smiled at Jiang Chao quietly, and then continued to read.
Jiang Chao noticed that the book Judy was reading was "The Golden Lock" that she brought out from school. She seemed to have seen some tangled plot at this time, frowned slightly, and turned the next page seriously.
Nightdress, slightly messy hair, pure and real expression...... Jiang Chao was moved, pulled the quilt open, and patted the bed gently.
Judy glanced at Jiang Chao strangely, then turned her head and continued to read.
Jiang Chao smiled and patted the mattress again.
Only then did Judy turn her head to look at Jiang Chao carefully, and suddenly understood that Jiang Chao meant to let her go to sleep, her face suddenly turned red, she shook her head shyly, and at the same time let out a soft and glutinous "um~"
Jiang Chao patted the bed again.
Judy still shook her head.
Therefore, Jiang Chao quit, he took the initiative to get up, and then walked to Judy's bedside.
Judy put down the book, smiled, still shaking her head, but had already given up her position, and then Jiang Chao got into the quilt, feeling Judy's warmth, Jiang Chao's heart beat faster, and then there was the laughter and slapstick of the couple......
At noon, Jiang Chao came to the concert hall that he had made an appointment with Old John alone. Guan Tian is going to Kyoto today to participate in a competition, and Judy is going to pick up her best friend.
Outside the concert hall, John Sr. and a few others were waiting. As soon as he saw Jiang Chao, Old John couldn't wait to introduce him to the top recording artists around him and the person in charge of this recording project.
Jiang Chao got to know them one by one, and finally the project leader began to introduce the overall situation of the recording to Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao listened patiently, and couldn't help but be slightly shocked in his heart, and after the shock, he was extremely moved.
Recording classical music is a particularly complicated thing, especially a concerto like this, which is an order of magnitude more difficult than pop music. DG can be said to have shown the highest sincerity for this recording......
