922 Sponsorship of the Grammys
'Audition, audition. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info'
'Ahem, ahem, hello everyone, many of you may know my old rough face! ’
That's right, I'm one of the first founding members of this club, and you're all tired of seeing He Ming. ’
As one of the four veterans and a frequent appearance in the club, He Ming is very familiar to these new and old members.
So his self-deprecating joke naturally caused good-natured laughter in the audience.
"Mr. He, knowing that you still have to stand on top when we are tired of seeing us, why can't you have something new one at a time?" ’
In the face of the coaxing in the audience, He Ming shook his head and helped his gold-rimmed glasses that had not changed for many years: "No, as long as I am in the day, I still have to come here according to the old rules!" ’
'Come on, you old, you come! ’
'According to the old rule, every time we get together, we introduce a new friend to everyone, and naturally, he has to continue the tradition of the club in order to build a relationship, just like our predecessors. ’
'What are the rules for newcomers to our club?' ’
'Show! ’
The roar below is earth-shattering, and there is one of them here, and they are not ashamed to perform all kinds of strange tricks on various stages, which is the best way for Chinese people to get closer to each other.
A short ten-minute show, when the newcomers step down, will naturally be welcomed by new and old friends from all over the world.
This shows that this new entrant is open-minded, understands the rules, and is a person who can make friends.
In the ensuing applause from the audience, He Ming on the stage waved his hand, and the lighting engineer on the side got the order to adjust the brightness of the lights in the venue in an instant.
Then you are going to have a big surprise this time, the new members who join us may be afraid of everything, but the only thing that is not afraid is to perform on stage. ’
He Ming's words fell, and the lights of the high platform hit the place that had been blocked by a movable back panel, and as this thin board fell in response, a delicate piano and a fat man with thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared in front of everyone.
'Let's welcome the pianist who is also in the United States: Lang Lang! ’
'Whoa, whoa, whoa...'
As the piano sounded on the stage, the audience stopped talking and went to listen to the piano solo in this bar.
On the huge deck, under the shroud of the starlight at night, under the reflection of the distant lights of New York City, and under the temptation of beautiful dresses, it was a little more elegant for no reason.
Qin Guan smiled at He Ming, who walked quickly to him, this kid's style of acting in the United States has changed from the bad image of the military adviser behind China, but has become more temperamental.
A little more freedom, a little more freedom, this is a very smart and can find the right position.
The wine glasses in the hands of the two exchanged places: 'Not planning to go back to China?' Qin Guan took the lead in caring about the current situation of this old friend.
'I won't be going back for a while, and now is the year of ambitious expansion for domestic companies, and having someone like me abroad is good for those state-owned enterprises. ’
Even if people are abroad, they are still so worried about the country and the people.
When Lang Lang on the stage finished playing a song and recovered from his crazy trembling, there was thunderous applause from the audience.
It seems that I am really a layman, only looking at personal connections and financial interests, and I am not very receptive to high art, and watching the performance of the pianist who is currently known as the top pianist at home and abroad, I only think of the electrician master who touched the electric door in my neighbor's house when I was a child. ’
He Ming said calmly and calmly, without the slightest shame because he did not have the slightest appreciation of art, he said such words, but with the most excited expression and the warmest applause, there was no peacekeeping at all.
Qin Guan glanced helplessly at this friend created by chance, and clapped his incomprehensible palms together: "You called me over today, also for this pianist on stage, right?" ’
'Yes, it is not easy for Chinese to be abroad, and a person who engages in art must rely on real talent to obtain affirmation, he can be regarded as our junior brother, raise his hand, and help if he can." ’
Qin Guan nodded, and sure enough, he saw Lang Lang's steps coming.
The white-skinned, big-eyed, thick-eyed young pianist, with the most simple smile, greeted the members of the party and squeezed in this direction.
'Hello, Mr. Qin! I'm Lang Lang, a new member of the club, please take care of me. ’
'Hello! ’
Unexpectedly, this man who played the piano since he was a child was quite lively, without the slightest reserve of Chinese people and restraint when interacting with strangers.
In three or two sentences, I made the intention of this time clear.
I probably understand, you want my QC accounting firm to sponsor your Grammy nomination for public relations and canvassing? ’
'Yes. ’
'As far as I know, IMG Music should have a certain budget for this, right?' ’
In addition to the company's publicity, the more popular the singer is and the more sponsors there are who are running for the award, the more likely it is to win the final award. ’
To put it bluntly, among some competitors of the same level, see who is most willing to throw money, and if the money is in place, it may be the ultimate winner.
And the purpose of Lang Lang's trip is also very clear, in this club that is all Chinese, he has a unique advantage.
That is to use the patriotism of the Chinese to pull more sponsorship for themselves in this rare party.
This is not just a matter of short-term awards, but a long-term aspirable goal.
Whether he wants to start his own small concert in the future, return to China for development, or cooperate with various advertisers, he will need a lot of money to support.
In particular, in modern times when classical music is becoming more and more difficult to make money, the cost of supporting a musician is too large.
What's more, this musician also has ambitions that are different from ordinary people.
Here, Qin Guan, who has both economic strength and connections in the circle, has become the preferred target of Lang Lang.
'Yes. ’
What?
He Ming's eyes widened on the side, Qin Guan himself was a certified public accountant, how could he do such a loss-making business.
For the sake of the Chinese at the same time, it is rare to be a generous businessman to sponsor 180,000.
What is the difference between throwing money and smashing fame in vain and throwing money into the water to listen to the sound?
