Chapter 571: An Invitation

"Master Chen, I have an invitation here, I wonder if your group is willing to accept it?" Valentine asked suddenly.

After the rehearsal, Valentin did not leave, but sat in the rehearsal hall and chatted with Chen Xieyang, Ye Zi, Pan Zhe and other performers. Chen Xieyang also gave everyone a holiday, if you want to stay, then sit together and chat and communicate, and if you want to rest, you will come back at night during rehearsals. The official performance will be tomorrow night, and by this time the rehearsal work has already been completed, and all that remains is to play a few more times to familiarize yourself with and play on the spot.

The vast majority of the musicians stayed, and it was a rare opportunity to sit and mingle with the leading composers of our time, far more important than going home and resting. Although there was a language barrier, there were several performers who were proficient in English, so they couldn't communicate with each other.

In addition to the organizing committee, Wen Wen and Sima Minghui, all the people present are people who make a living from classical music, and they have a lot of common language with each other, and the atmosphere of academic exchanges in the middle of the chat is very strong. Everyone sat together talking and laughing, there was a strong resonance caused by the same view, and there was also a fierce debate brought about by different ideas. When it comes to the rise, many musicians will improvise such a passage in order to confirm their arguments, and Ye Zi is also one of them, and such an opportunity is also very rare for him. Today's gathering is not so much a chat as a music salon with no name and no preparation.

Valentine chatted with everyone very happily, and after the rehearsal just now, he really liked the style of the symphony orchestra conducted by Chen Xieyang, so the idea just now suddenly popped up in his heart.

"Javier, please speak." The invitation from Valentine, Chen Xieyang was of course very interested.

Valentine went through the plan he had just thought of again in his heart, and felt that there was no problem, so he said: "At the beginning of next year, probably in March or April, I will know after I have to determine the specific time, the PARS National Conservatory of Music will hold a celebration of the 200th anniversary of the founding of the school." This is not only a grand event in the national music industry, but also a major event in the whole country, and the celebration will last for a whole month. There will be dozens of special concerts during the festival, including one of my sessions. I would like to invite the Shencheng Symphony Orchestra to perform, "dǐng"diǎn"小《語,.2↖3.o▽s_(); But I'm sorry, Master Chen, but the cost of the show may not be much. (ps: Don't worry about friends who are more serious in the time of the school's establishment, the plot needs to be advanced by two years.) )

Chen Xieyang diǎn diǎn head: "We can put the question of cost aside for the time being, Mr. Valentine, I would like to know which of your works we need to play if we accept this invitation?" ”

When it comes to business, Chen Xieyang replaced the title of "Javier" in small talk with a formal title like "Mr. Valentine". Only an artist head like Chen Xieyang, who is "not doing his job", will first put aside the performance fee, but directly ask about the performance repertoire.

Shen Jiao was not hungry in his hands, but was thriving, and invitations to perform came one after another, and the outside world was increasingly evaluated, which is really incomprehensible for many leaders of other groups!

"The Span Trilogy." Valentine had already thought about stopping, and immediately said.

"The Span trilogy?" Chen Xieyang was slightly puzzled: "I'm sorry Mr. Valentine, what you mean by this span trilogy ......"

"It's my three classical guitar concertos, and the Mallorca Concerto you're going to perform tomorrow night is the first of them."

Chen Xieyang was even more puzzled: "But...... Mr. Valentine, as far as I know, you have only written two guitar concertos and have not yet published a third, do you plan to write them in the near future? If so, rehearsal time may not be guaranteed. ”

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Valentine has already composed the third classical guitar concerto last year, but it has not been performed." Ye Zi helped Valentine explain.

As soon as Valentine mentioned the SPAN trilogy just now, Ye Zi immediately thought of the "Iberian Concerto" that he had played alone in front of him, and listening to the meaning of Valentine's words, this should be the last part of the trilogy.

Valentine really smiled diǎn head.

Chen Xieyang was relieved: "Then there should be no problem, but ...... Mr. Valentine, do you have a suitable classical guitarist in mind right now? ”

This is also something that must be asked.

A concerto, unlike a symphony, has one or two main instruments, so it inevitably requires the participation of one or two musicians. Don't underestimate this diǎn, no matter how high the level of the orchestra itself is, if you can't work closely with the performers, you will definitely not be able to make a satisfactory performance. This requires a lot of rehearsal time, and Chen Xieyang's sentence must be asked in advance.

Valentine smiled and pointed at Ye Zi: "With such a talented performer here, what other people should I go to?" ”

Chen Xieyang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Valentine to value Ye Zi so much, but then he smiled and said: "Well, this Jian Yiyi is very good, Ye Zi's cooperation with our application is now very tacit, I believe he has enough ability to complete the performance of the span trilogy." ”

Valentine said so, of course Chen Xieyang was strong. If Valentine didn't have a player in mind, he would have been ready to recommend Ye Zi. Chen Xieyang clearly knows that for any instrumentalist, there is no suitable opportunity to come out, and without the recommendation of others, no matter how high his performance level is, it will not help.

"Mr. Valentine, it seems that we are thinking of going together, and I am also ready for you to recommend Ye Zi, he is the most talented classical guitarist I have ever met, and I support your choice." Pan Zhe followed up and said.

At a time like this, only Pan Zhe, the chief, can express his opinion.

Valentine smiled diǎn diǎn head: "When I decided on the repertoire for the special concert, the first choice was Bruce, and the second was John Williams, of course, only after Bruce explicitly declined my invitation, I would invite John to be the soloist." ”

"How about Bruce, I'm going to send you a formal invitation right now, please give me an accurate reply."

Hiss~~~

There was a gasping sound among the players, and all eyes were on the young man beside Valentine. Williams, the prince of guitar, is world-famous, and Valentine put Ye Zi in front of Williams on the invitation list for his special concert, which ...... That's a lot of lifting!

Ye Zi secretly smiled bitterly, Pan Zhe's kindness just now was completely offset by Valentine's words, and his early rafters were decided. But now is not the time to think about this, Valentine's question just now must be answered immediately, which is polite and respectful.

"Javier, I'm grateful for the invitation, but now that I've signed with an agency, you need to discuss the show with my agent." Ye Zi said immediately.

Since a contract has been signed with Wenhui Entertainment, it should be abided by, and this kind of thing should be solved by Wenhui Tai, she is professional.

Behind Ye Zi, Wen Wen smiled diǎn diǎn head, took out the big brother in the bag, patted Ye Zi on the shoulder and walked out of the rehearsal hall. This kind of thing is a big deal, and he must tell Sù Tai Wenhui as soon as possible, and this is also what he should do as an assistant.

The camera in Sima Minghui's hand pressed the shutter from time to time, of course, before that, Sima Minghui had consulted Valentine and obtained his permission before starting to take pictures. The printed photos still need Valentine's permission before they can be published in the Cheng Pao report. Fortunately, Valentine looked at Ye Zi's face and did not ask for payment for the use of portrait rights. However, no matter how many photos Sima Minghui took, except for one that could be used for free in the report, the other negatives had to be handed over to Valentine.

"Of course, my team will discuss specific matters with your agent, I just need to know what you think now, are you, Bruce, willing to accept my invitation?" Valentine explained, and immediately asked seriously.

As a famous composer in China, Valentine of course also has his own contracted agency and a team to help him take care of things, and he knows that Ye Zi's statement is the right way to do things. However, before the formal negotiation of each other's teams, it is completely appropriate to understand Ye Zi's own personal wishes, which is the basis for the formal negotiation.

Ye Zi immediately stretched out his right hand: "Javier, you know that it is impossible for me to refuse you, I am looking forward to our second cooperation." ”

"Of course, that's exactly what I want to say, happy to work with, Bruce my kid." Valentine laughed extremely happily, held Ye Zi's hand and pulled him over and hugged him tightly.

"Tell me your agent's phone number, and my team will discuss it with him."

"She, Javier, my agent is a woman." Ye Zi corrected it.

Valentine sighed, pointed at Ye Zi with both hands exaggeratedly, and laughed strangely twice in his mouth.

Ye Zi hurriedly diverted the topic: "Javier, I have no problem here, Master Chen is still waiting for you." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, respected Master Chen, let's continue." Valentine also sensed that he was wrong just now, and quickly apologized.

Miao Junkai sighed secretly, Ye Zi had already negotiated with Valentin in just a few minutes, and what was missing was only the discussion of specific terms. However, as long as Ye Zi's request is not too excessive, this performance will definitely be decided. Looking at Ye Zi and then at himself, Miao Junkai sighed secretly again.

This person is really incomparable!

Of course, Chen Xieyang couldn't blame Valentine, and he continued to ask after the topic just now: "The repertoire and performers have been decided, so the main thing for me here is the problem of scheduling. Mr. Valentine, can you confirm the exact time now? If there is no conflict in time, then I can basically agree to your invitation. ”

"Really?" Valentine was very happy, if this time he came to Shencheng to solve this important performance next year, it would be a big gain.

"Can I borrow your phone?" I'll need to talk to the school to find out exactly what the time is. Please rest assured, I have about 10 days to adjust the time. ”

"Of course, go to my office. Xiao Miao, you hurry to the switchboard and drive the international long-distance away. Because he often has to contact foreign countries, Chen Xieyang's office can make direct international calls, but in normal times, the switchboard will definitely not be connected.

"Alright, let's all go back and rest, and the evening rehearsal time will be the same."

Valentine wanted to call, and there were more important things to discuss, so Chen Xieyang ended this rare "salon" ahead of schedule, took Ye Zi and Pan Zhe, and accompanied Valentin back to his office.

Of course, Wen Wen and Sima Minghui, the two "followers", are still behind. (To be continued.) )
