Chapter 230: Endorsement
He'sapirate (He's a Pirate) is the scene music from the world-famous fantasy movie Pirates of the Caribbean.
In the movie, this magnificent symphony full of tragic heroism has shocked countless fans, and has since been adapted into many different versions of the music, including the piano version.
Of course, even the piano version has many different versions, and the one Liu Yufan played just now is based on the most difficult version - the version adapted by the American pianist Jarrodradnich, especially in the final part, the domineering sitting, which has made countless piano fans fall in love with it!
With Liu Yufan's current piano level, it is not difficult to play this highly technical piece. Because of his solid basic skills, he even surpasses Jarrodradnich in the delicacy of his performance, of course, compared to Jarrodradnich, Liu Yufan also seems a little unable to let go, which is naturally because he has played more classical works before.
On the other hand, this ordinary practice piano also restricts Liu Yufan's performance. To be honest, the feeling that this piano brings to Liu Yufan is really very ordinary, but there is a comparison to know the good and bad, compared to the miscellaneous piano played in the Philharmonic before, this Pearl River 118 is much stronger.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" was officially released in 2003, but in this parallel world, because of the appearance of Liu Yufan, a reborn, the release of this piece was advanced by four years, and it was not in the form of a symphony, but in the form of a pure piano. However, it is estimated that at this moment, the director of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie does not know where to stay, Liu Yufan made this song out in advance, and he is not embarrassed in his heart.
Moreover, he didn't deliberately compose this song, it was completely used to change his brain when he was bored from practicing the piano on weekdays, but he played it in front of people on a whim today, but he unexpectedly caused such a big shock to everyone.
"He's a pirate, he's a pirate! This name is too domineering! Brother, who wrote this song, why haven't I heard it before? Lao Huang asked eagerly. At this moment, this young man, who is more than ten years younger than him, is like a piano master in his eyes.
"Hehe, this is what I usually play with." Liu Yufan said "modestly".
"Playing around? Brother, you're not kidding, cow, that's awesome! Lao Huang gave Liu Yufan a thumbs up with emotion and said sincerely.
"Hehe, I said boss, don't praise me here, let's hurry up and get down to business, you see so many people are waiting here, I brought you a lot of guests today, you don't invite me to a meal or something for a while." Liu Yufan quipped, and this immediately caused a burst of laughter from the onlookers.
"Haha, okay, no problem, it's just that you don't buy the piano, I want to sit with you today, it's rare to see such a powerful master in Jianghai, admire." Lao Huang smiled happily.
At this moment, Manager Zhao, who had been watching quietly from the side, finally spoke.
"Little brother, you play the piano so well, how about I ask you to be the spokesperson of our Pearl River Piano?"
As soon as Zhao Bao spoke, Liu Yufan was stunned, looking at the person opposite, his face showed a puzzled look.
Seeing such a situation, Lao Huang realized that he hadn't introduced the two of them yet, but when he heard that Manager Zhao actually wanted Liu Yufan to be the image endorsement of the Pearl River Piano, he was still a little surprised, and said in his heart that Manager Zhao was too whimsical.
"Let me introduce, this is Manager Zhao of our Pearl River Piano Factory, this is ~~" When Lao Huang introduced Liu Yufan, he suddenly paused, because he realized that he hadn't asked what people's names were just now. …,
"Hehe, Manager Zhao, hello, my name is Liu Yufan." Liu Yufan didn't care about the mistake of this reckless boss just now, and stretched out his hand to Manager Zhao with a smile.
"Oh, Yufan, hello, hello, what a hero out of a young man, by the way, who did you learn the piano with?" Zhao Bao asked with some curiosity. Although he is from a piano factory, he doesn't play the piano whether he plays the piano, but he can also see whether the pianist plays well or not. The young man in front of him is extraordinary, quite a demeanor, and he is also very curious about Liu Yufan's teacher.
"Oh, my teacher's surname is Mo, and his name is Mo Yan." Liu Yufan said with a smile. Since Mo Yan reunited with his daughter, his whole personality has become much more cheerful, especially after talking to himself, he no longer cares so much about the original "Three Chapters of the Law". After all, when Liu Yufan had studied with him for so long, Mo Yan still recognized this student.
It's just that at this moment, Liu Yufan reported Mo Yan's name, but it didn't cause much reaction from these people, because Mo Yan was too low-key and didn't have any fame at all.
"Oh, good, good!" When Manager Zhao heard this name that he was not familiar with, he didn't know how to continue for a while, so he nodded and smiled and praised a few words, and then led the topic to the endorsement just now.
"Looking for me to be an image endorsement?" Liu Yufan listened to Manager Zhao's request and was a little puzzled.
Seeing that Liu Yufan didn't seem to understand, Zhao Bao hurriedly explained to Liu Yufan.
It turns out that the so-called image endorsement is to play the piano on stage when the manufacturer holds promotional activities, and then cooperate with the advertising department to shoot some promotional videos and the like. It's just that Liu Yufan is a little strange that according to his previous understanding, such endorsements usually look for some celebrities or big names or something, how can he be favored by a little-known student?
After Manager Zhao's explanation, Liu Yufan finally understood. It turned out that Zhao Bao was responsible for this sales area, and the performance in the past two years was not very good, especially when he came here today, he was to inspect this Huacai piano store, originally Manager Zhao wanted to revoke the monopoly qualification here, and then find a stronger piano shop, but after seeing Liu Yufan's performance, he temporarily changed his mind.
Although this young man is not a famous pianist, his performance is very tense, and the piece itself is particularly suitable for expressing the thorough timbre of the piano, so he temporarily wanted Liu Yufan to be the image endorsement of the piano brand. Of course, there are many image endorsements of Pearl River Piano, such as Liu Yufan, which only belongs to temporary workers, the form of cooperation is very flexible, and there is no fixed contract, as long as the two parties negotiate the price and participate in the activities of the piano factory.
"Yu Fan, what do you think, what is the quality of our Pearl River piano?" Seeing that Liu Yufan was a little hesitant, Zhao Bao said sincerely.
"Manager Zhao, to be honest, Pearl River piano in the world, at most, can only be regarded as a third-line level, but for the quality of Pearl River piano, at least in China is still very reputable, after all, you are a big factory, and the accumulation of technology is relatively rich." Liu Yufan thought about it and said.
"Yes, you're right, but in fact, you don't know, our Pearl River Piano has worked hard to innovate the process over the years, and some high-end models of the piano are close to the level of second-tier brands in terms of quality and timbre, but our brand image is not as good as some foreign brands, such as Yamaha, Cavai, or something. But in all fairness, our piano is not inferior to them in terms of quality, as for the timbre, although there are some gaps, but it is not as big as some people say, but our price is only half of theirs or even less, even so, we still can't compete with others, hey, this thing is really annoying! Manager Zhao said, his tone a little heavy. "Yes, Manager Zhao, what you said is right, the domestic piano started late, and the brand image is naturally not as good as those old enterprises, but I still trust your piano." In this way, after a while, I will help my friend choose the piano, you can take me to see the high-end piano in your factory, if it is really good, I will agree to endorse you. Liu Yufan thought for a while and said.
"Okay, then we'll make up our minds. Hehe, by the way, aren't you going to pick the piano? Let's go upstairs and have a look, and I'll help you with the staff. Seeing that Liu Yufan had agreed, Manager Zhao was very happy. Don't look at the young man in front of him who is not a celebrity, but how poisonous his eyes are, he can see the star temperament of Liu Yufan at a glance, just with the aura he exuded from the song just now, it is worthy of his wooing just now.
A few years later, when Liu Yufan has become a high-profile figure in the international music scene, Zhujiang Piano Factory has also reaped huge benefits from today's good fate. And the Pearl River piano played by Liu Yufan at the beginning has also become the "treasure of the factory" of the piano factory, of course, this is all a later story.
When the group came upstairs, they were greeted by more than a dozen jet-black pianos, which were of different sizes, but the colors were very uniform, all of them were black. And the shapes are also square, there are no ingenious styles and patterns.
It's no wonder that this piano is not easy to sell, after all, many consumers are not experts, and when choosing a piano, the appearance still accounts for a large proportion. Even if the piano is good, it is difficult to win the favor of consumers.
"Hehe, Yufan, just pick, the piano you take here today will be given to you according to the factory price." Manager Zhao said proudly.
"Really? Manager Zhao, I'm not welcome to say that. Liu Yufan said with a smile, and then began to choose.
In fact, it is said to be a selection, that is, to try the sound quality of the piano, for the quality, Liu Yufan did not deliberately choose, a big brand like Zhujiang is still very good at quality control.
It only took more than half an hour for Liu Yufan to pick out their respective pianos for the three piano buyers, including Chu Daqing. And in the end, the price of 11,000 yuan per piano also made these people who bought the piano happy, and thanked Liu Yufan again and again.
"Let's go, Yufan, I'm having a treat today, and after eating in a while, I'll take you to the warehouse in our factory to see our top nine-foot piano." Zhao Bao said with a smile.
