Chapter 484, God's Work!
"What? You're going to invite guests on stage?"
In the hotel room, a short white old man, this person is Thomas Green, the agent of Zhongju Yuto, he frowned at Zhongju Yuto, shook his head and said: "No! How can you invite guests for a personal concert? Besides, who are you invited?"
"is a Chinese star, his name is Li Zhifan, and he is also the king of piano and creation among the young generation of China!"
At least in Zhongju Youdou's heart, Li Zhifan was placed in the position of king. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Huaxia?"
The old white man frowned even more, and searched his mind for the young Chinese pianist he knew.
There was also a yellow-skinned old man on the side, this person was Danxia Jian, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Is that the Li Zhifan you often say?"
"Yes!"
Zhongju Yudou nodded again and again, "Teacher, he ......"
"No way!"
Dan Xia Jian shook his head and said, "I have seen his video, although he plays well, but after all, he is an entertainment star, indulging in Vanity Fair, I am afraid that his piano skills have long been rusty, we have not seen him play with our own eyes, how can we rest assured that he will play?"
As a composer, Tange Jian also has the heart of a literati, although Li Zhifan's piano works are gradually exerting influence, but he is scratching his nose at this young generation of piano creation kings.
And this concert is not only a solo recital of Zhongju Yudou, but also a concert of Ken Tange's own works, and the whole audience is his works, which is one of the reasons why he doesn't want Li Zhifan to go on stage.
But Thomas thinks otherwise, in addition to being the agent of Zhongju Youdou, he is also a senior partner of his brokerage company, so he naturally has to consider the interests of the company.
casually asked, "This friend you are talking about, does he have a performance agency?"
"This ...... There should be, right?" said Yuto Nakai, "I don't know!"
"Oh!" Thomas pinched his chin and said no more.
Zhongju Youdou begged bitterly: "Teacher, Mr. Green, I only have this one request for this concert, and I hope you will agree!"
"No!" said Ken Tange.
But Thomas smiled: "Youdou, you go back first, let's discuss this matter and give you an accurate answer tomorrow." ”
When Zhongju Yudou heard this, it seemed that there was a play, and he immediately nodded: "Hi!"
Watching him go out, Danxia Jian raised his eyebrows, looked at Thomas and said, "No!
Thomas smiled slightly: "Mr. Tange, whether it is okay should be something that our brokerage company considers, right?"
Tange said sullenly: "This is my special concert, if you hadn't agreed to my request, I wouldn't have composed music for this kid Youdou, we have a contract, don't forget!"
"I understand, but for the company, it has to be profitable!"
Thomas lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Tange, if we have this Chinese pianist on our tour concert in Huaxia, maybe we can attract more audiences and hold a few more concerts, what do you say?"
"That's your agency!"
Ken Tange pouted, "It has nothing to do with me!"
"If you have a lot to do with you, don't you want your work to be known by more people?"
"And with this Chinese star helping us advertise, our promotion work in China can be easier." ”
"Humph!"
Danxia Jian sneered, "Most of those Chinese musicians are famous in China, and no one knows abroad, and they pay out of their own pockets to hold an event abroad, attracting hundreds of audiences and passers-by, and they can all return to China and package themselves, hehe!"
"What we fancy is his popularity in China!"
In fact, in addition to this reason, Thomas has a second reason, that is, he has watched the video of Li Zhifan during the competition, and he has also heard people in the circle talk about Li Zhifan's piano skills and level.
The company once thought about signing Li Zhifan, but who knew that this kid was not here, and refused to let them go to the entertainment industry, which made many seniors in the piano circle cry out for pity.
So he wanted to meet this Li Zhifan, get in touch with it, and see if there was any opportunity to cooperate.
Tenge Ken was persuaded all night, and was finally persuaded by Thomas, but said that he could only give ten minutes.
Early the next morning, Thomas relayed the news to Zhongju Yudou, and he also added a condition that Li Zhifan would perform the "Turkish March" - the winning piece that made him famous in the piano circle.
In addition, Thomas also expressed the hope that Zhongju Youdou would arrange for the two to meet, and the two sides could meet about the guest performance.
Li Zhifan came to the stage, whether it was friendship or invitation, the brokerage company had to pay the performance fee, this is the United States, regardless of whether the two parties are American or not, if there is a labor dispute on this territory, the brokerage company will have to pay a large amount of expenses.
Take the two personal assistants who came with Li Zhifan as an example, in addition to the domestic salary, they have to pay them a separate salary according to the local minimum wage standard in California.
If he doesn't pay the money, and this matter is reported by someone with a heart, Li Zhifan will have to suffer a lawsuit.
……
Evening.
In a bar not far from Li Zhifan's residence.
Zhongju Youdou took Thomas and sat at a table with Li Zhifan.
"Hello, we have finally met! I admire your talent, I have listened to all the piano music you compose, and I think your work is a precious treasure for the whole of humanity!"
Thomas was a sycophant as soon as he came up.
However, Li Zhifan still had to rely on his assistant to help him translate, so his reaction would always be slow, and finally he nodded and smiled: "Thank you! Mr. Green is serious, what I can do for this world is just a drop in the bucket." ”
Thomas laughed heartily: "Haha, Mr. Lin is modest!"
"I'm sorry, my surname is Li!"
Li Zhifan smiled, "Let's get straight to the point, how did you plan about going on stage?"
"Ten minutes, halftime on stage!"
Thomas said, "Please play the Turkish March first, this work is your masterpiece in the hearts of piano lovers!"
"Uh......"
After listening to the assistant's translation, Li Zhifan was speechless for a while.
Shouldn't the masterpieces be "Bell" and "Moonlight Song"?
But after thinking about it, maybe everyone hasn't understood the mystery of these tunes, so they don't care anymore, and said with a mixed smile: "Yes, ten minutes is enough, if you have more, you won't be able to pay for the performance." ”
Yuto Nakai was drinking a drink, and when he heard this, he choked on it, turned his face and coughed, and his face twitched.
The assistant paused, looked at Li Zhifan in surprise, and then translated to Thomas, but seeing that Thomas's expression did not change, presumably the assistant translated should not be Li Zhifan's original words!
