Li Xiaoru nodded and said, "Yes, I read the event description posted on the Internet by the organizing committee, if the applicant has won the top three awards in some major events, or has been recommended by a famous teacher, or has a certain reputation through certain activities, he can be exempted from the screening competition." ”

"What exactly are certain activities?" asked Liu Yan.

"I don't understand, the online rules are not so detailed, it is estimated that the reference standards of the organizing committee vary from person to person, and the situation in each country is different, and the flexibility is relatively large," Li Xiaoru thought that it had little to do with him when she saw this rule, and she didn't think about it well, "I think this kind of rule is reserved for participants from all over the world to go through the back door." ”

Liu Yan also thinks so, "But since they have left an opening that can be opportunistic, then why don't we take advantage of it? Don't you want to take a shortcut?"

"I think, there are shortcuts that don't go in vain," Li Xiaoru is not a serious person, she has to use her strength to prove how bad she is, she just wants to get a ranking and continue to study for a master's degree, when it is time to take advantage of the situation, "The problem is, I didn't participate in any activities, the most important one was my piano solo at the 80th anniversary celebration concert of the Capital Conservatory of Music last year." This experience is useful at home, but ...... abroad"

Li Xiaoru remembered Mr. Martin's words again, "Julia doesn't even recognize my transcript in the first sound, let alone the organizing committee of Busoni, and who hasn't participated in a few important music performances, my experience is really inadequate." ”

"Just because someone else has participated in more shows doesn't mean they're more famous than you. ”

Li Xiaoru was stunned.

Liu Yan suddenly seized the loophole in the rules, "The organizing committee did not clearly say what kind of activities it was, which means that it may not be those very formal activities, in other words, they are more interested in the fame of the contestants." It is true that Busoni is a world-famous piano competition, but it also has competitors, the Chopin Competition, the Liszt Competition, ...... There are many piano competitions around the world, and just as many film festivals need well-known directors and movie stars to support them, they need famous contestants to raise their profile and strengthen their authority. ”

"But I'm not famous, at most I'm a small domestic Internet celebrity," Li Xiaoru didn't have confidence, "I think if you sign up for this competition, it is possible to be shortlisted by this method." ”

Liu Yan smiled, "Come on, I won't be embarrassed," she lowered her head and clicked on YouTube on her phone, she could finally browse this APP unimpeded, last night before going to bed, she studied the account of the princess of the Han Dynasty, "You see, there are 18w+ comments under the ensemble video of the two of us, half of which are discussing your piano performance, and you also have a high reputation abroad." ”

"It's the Internet abroad," Li Xiaoru corrected Liu Yan's statement, and she had also read the comments, "I don't think the so-called 'fame' in the rules of the competition refers to such fame, they want a genius prodigy, a new pianist, a rising star." ”

"How did the genius prodigy and rising star come about? It is not hyped up by performances and media exposure, otherwise who knows them! You publish a performance video on YouTube to gather popularity, why is it not counted? In the Internet era, ordinary people can become big heroes, as long as they are talented, anyone can become popular!" Liu Yan said firmly. The number of your videos is not much, so the fame is almost hot, from now on, release one or two videos a day, before the end of the month, it will definitely attract the attention of the organizing committee, anyway, you have to practice every day, and it is not troublesome to record it. ”

Liu Yan said that Li Xiaoru was a little moved, instead of fighting with countless strong people for 20 places, why not find another way and easily pass the test?

"But my YouTube doesn't have real-name authentication and no fans," Li hesitated.

"Don't use your account, use the account of 'Princess of the Han Dynasty'," Liu Yan has already thought about it, 'Princess of the Han Dynasty' currently has 500w+ fans subscribed, this is still under the premise that it has not been updated for three weeks and has lost a lot of audiences, otherwise it should be nearly 600w fans, Liu Yan wants to use the 500w tuba to push Li Xiaoru onto the foreign popularity list, and give her the title of "cutting-edge pianist"," I brought the guqin to the United States, and we played another piece of music together, posted it on the Internet, first got the popularity back, and then planned how to shoot the next video, we have the experience of filming 'young ladies', and understand the twists and turns in this, it should not be difficult to do this. ”

Liu Yan analyzed this, Li Xiaoru felt that the feasibility was very high, the haze that lingered in her heart finally dissipated, she showed a smile of joy and gratitude, she didn't ask Liu Yan why she brought the guqin, what she did when she came to the United States, if Liu Yan was willing to say, she would have told her a long time ago.

Li Xiaoru also didn't know that the "Princess of the Han Dynasty" was not Liu Yan's account. She made Liu Yan, who had been hesitant, finally make up her mind to cooperate with He Lushen and bring the "Princess of the Han Dynasty" to her name. Liu Yan has always stuck a knife in both sides of her friends with her friends.

The two happily finished lunch, Li Xiaoru went back to school to continue classes, she made an appointment with Liu Yan to meet downstairs in Yu Zhan's apartment at night, there is a grand piano in Yu Zhan's apartment, Yu Zhan can't play the piano, this piano is the decoration bought by the design company when the apartment is decorated and delivered, it seems that the owner is elegant and tasteful, Yu Zhan has not touched it once, it has been idle for many years, and now it is just convenient for Li Xiaoru to play the piano.

After separating from Li Xiaoru, Liu Yan immediately asked He Lushen to meet to discuss the cooperation of the "Princess of the Han Dynasty" account.

But He Lushen is not available, at this moment, he is meeting with Michael Rose, the owner of the American film distribution company - Mike Films, Mike Films has the exclusive distribution rights of "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace" in North America, and they are responsible for cooperating with major theater companies to arrange the release times and times of "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace".

Michael Rose and He Huaguang are about the same age, the two have a very good personal relationship, in recent years, he has set up an Asian film fund, specializing in Asian films, "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace" is the first Chinese film he invested in in the first half of this year, at the same time, he also invested in a Japanese film, the latter has been offline, the box office is only 800w US dollars. But a South Korean film he invested in last year grossed as much as $120 million.

The box office performance of "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace" is not as insufficient, there is more than enough, and the box office is particularly good.

So He Lushen and Michael talked very hard.
