Chapter 520: Missed
"Hello, I'm James from DG Records, I just watched your performance, it was really an eye-opener, can I talk to you?" As soon as the competition ended, before the contestants left the hall, a cool guy wearing black sunglasses blocked the way of the group as if he had been waiting there for a long time.
It's just that although there are many people, he only said this to one person. And this person is naturally Lang Lang, who has just been in the limelight in the competition.
In fact, in the rematch just now, Lang Lang was the only one who performed well, but Ms. Leon left early and didn't see the performance later. And James is just faithfully carrying out Vice President Leon's orders at the moment, and whether others are outstanding or not has nothing to do with him. DG is like that, it's like a big and efficient machine, and any command is executed to the letter. This is not to say how good its employees are, but because the punishment for refusing to carry out orders is so severe that employees dare not disobey it. When Ms. Leon left the table before, she had instructed James to sign Lang Lang into DG, which is why James stopped Lang Lang alone at the moment.
After hearing this person introduce himself, a flash of joy flashed on Lang Lang's face. DG Records, this is a very tempting name for people like Lang Lang who are studying music overseas. This record company has signed many influential musicians, and its influence in Europe and the United States is also very huge, so it can be said that for someone like Lang Lang who studies music, he can finally sign DG. It's definitely a very good place to be.
Seeing Lang Lang's happy eyebrows, Liu Yufan asked Wang Yujia with some confusion what the two were talking about, and when he heard that the sunglasses that looked like a black-bellied man were actually DG records. Immediately realized what was going on.
The Liszt Cup Piano Competition is not only a venue, but also a treasure trove for major record companies, and some players who have performed well here. It was easy to be signed by some record companies, and in the past two days of competition, such situations have occurred a lot, and even Liu Yufan himself has received more than one invitation. It's just that there may be a glimmer of hope in inviting someone else, but it is impossible to invite him, because he himself now runs an entertainment company, albeit on a small scale. But it's up to you. As the saying goes, "Rather the head, not the phoenix tail", how can there be a reason to leave one's own one-third of an acre of land and work for others?
However, looking at Lang Lang's performance, Liu Yufan was sure that this guy was tempted. Is it no wonder that he, DG, how many virtuoso can refuse an invitation from him? It's like those singers who sing in China can't refuse an invitation from Rolling Stone and Momyo. The name of DG is just too big.
Liu Yufan sighed. It seems that his desire to sign Lang Lang, a super bull stock, into the company is destined to not be easy to achieve. Although the treatment he gave was very high, Liu Yufan, a person who was Lang Lang, knew that his heart was very high, and he did not agree to his invitation before. It's not because the treatment he gives is not high, but because he doesn't want to develop in China. It's only because my company is too small now, and I can't keep the god of others. Liu Yufan knew that it wouldn't be long before Lang Lang would become famous in the international music scene because of an accidental "substitute" opportunity, and at the same time his worth would double, and at that time, it would be even more difficult for him to sign Lang Lang in.
Forget it, there are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't force it. Signing a Maxim on this trip is already an unexpected gain for Liu Yufan. Although this guy is not as famous as Lang Lang in the performance of classical piano, but in the pop piano area, he is definitely a powerful dark horse, Liu Yufan believes that when he goes back, let Maxim shoot the MV of "Exodus" as soon as possible, this guy can definitely blow a whirlwind in the field of pop piano. …,
"Oh, no problem, I'm honored!" Lang Lang, who reacted, immediately replied in fluent English, and at the same time a polite smile appeared on his face. It can be seen that he is trying to make a good impression on the other party.
"That's great, please, oh yes, you speak really good English!" James smiled and praised, and then turned sideways to make an inviting gesture to Lang Lang. And Lang Lang was a little flattered and bent over to the other party and made a humble gesture. Then he turned around, said sorry to Liu Yufan and a few others, and went out with that James with a happy face.
"Alas, another one that was poached." Looking at Lang Lang's distant figure, Wang Yujia sighed and said.
"Hehe, Senior Sister Yujia, I don't understand, is it so good to sign a contract with a company and send people under the fence?" Watching Lang Lang leave, Liu Yufan's heart was also a little uncomfortable, after all, this was a cow he had always wanted to fight for. At this moment, his words are somewhat sour grapes. In other words, if people sign DG, they will become a host, and if they sign your company, won't they? It's just that Liu Yufan is now sighing about losing the opportunity to sign Lang Lang, so he naturally selectively ignores this problem.
"Alas, junior brother, you are now the boss of your own business, naturally you can't understand the mentality of motherless children like us, DG is one of the top record companies abroad, and it also has a large market for serious music, signing them is undoubtedly a good development potential for a performer. So don't blame Lang Lang for his choice, if DG finds me, I guess I won't be able to refuse their temptation. After all, for a performer, signing a record company for development is the ultimate destination, otherwise no matter how good you are, you will not have any great achievements, and the power of one person is too limited after all. Wang Yujia looked at the direction of Lang Lang's departure, sighed and said, as if she was talking to him, and as if she was talking to herself.
"Hehe, senior sister, you have a point. But now I still feel better that I feel better working for myself, at least to save myself from looking at other people's faces. Although my company is not very big now, one day it will be like these companies. Liu Yufan said in the end, and the whole person showed a confident momentum.
"Well, then I wish you success! Actually, Yufan, do you know? I've always felt that you are different from us, we people, except for playing the piano, nothing else, you are different, you not only play the piano well, but also seem to know many other things, in fact, we are also very envious of your current development, but envy is envy, want to learn but can't learn. Wang Yujia looked at Liu Yufan and said with a smile.
"Senior sister, you're laughing at me again, why do I sound like I'm not doing my job?" Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Giggles, you really mean that when you say that." Wang Yujia said with a smile.
"Hey, why are you two talking so lively!" Accompanied by a cheerful female voice with a smile, a small white hand slapped Liu Yufan on the shoulder. Liu Yufan turned around and looked, but it was Li Xiaoling and Li Da reporters.
"Sister Xiaoling, you've finished the interview." Looking at Li Xiaoling, Liu Yufan said hello with a smile.
"Well, it's done, I just saw you chatting with the beautiful woman here, how about it, I didn't bother you." Looking at Liu Yufan, Li Xiaoling teased, and a hint of narrowness flashed in her eyes.
"Hehe, Sister Xiaoling, don't talk nonsense, this is my senior sister Wang Yujia, I came to participate in the competition together, and we were just talking about the competition." Liu Yufan hurriedly explained. Just kidding, this person in front of her is Sister Ya's best friend, this makes her misunderstand that she has something to do with Wang Yujia, isn't that tantamount to making Sister Ya misunderstand? …,
"Yo, what are you nervous about, I didn't say anything, did I?" Looking at Liu Yufan's nervous face, Li Xiaoling said with a smile that looked very funny, then turned to look at Wang Yujia and said: "Hello, Li Xiaoling, CCTV reporter, I just watched your performance, it was very good, congratulations on entering the finals!" ”
Looking at this beautiful reporter who was a few years older than herself, but her temperament and appearance were no longer than herself, Wang Yujia also felt a little pressure, shook hands with her with a smile, and said hello.
"Hey, Sister Xiaoling, I also made it to the finals, why don't you just congratulate her." Liu Yufan said with some "dissatisfaction".
"Cut, you shouldn't be in the finals, as soon as our Xiaoya saw me, she praised you as rare in the sky and not on the ground. By the way, President Liu, you have entered the finals, do you have to invite me to express it? Li Xiaoling looked at Liu Yufan and said with a smile.
"Please, please, no problem, you can eat whatever you say." Liu Yufan hurriedly said "boldly". At the moment, this beauty's sycophant must definitely be filmed well, otherwise the courtyard will catch fire.
"Well, the attitude is not bad, let's go, it just so happens that I am also hungry, hey, I heard that there is a French restaurant near here that has good caviar, how about we try it?"
……
The group walked and chatted, and soon disappeared to the end of the hall.
Not far behind them, Berezovsky's gaze remained on the spot, and he did not withdraw his gaze until several people disappeared at the end of the corridor.
"Liu Yufan, hehe, it's getting more and more interesting." Berezovsky said thoughtfully.
Since there will be a final on the second day, this group of people will eat and eat, but they don't dare to really drink and celebrate, after all, they still have to stay in good shape and participate in tomorrow's finals.
Compared to the semi-finals, the finals are more physically demanding, with each person playing an average of three pieces and participating in a test designated by the judges. The stricter procedures have made the contestants face greater challenges.
This night, everyone didn't sleep peacefully, and the final was about to be, which was also a huge test for the psychology of all the players!
When the city of Utrecht ushered in the first rays of sunshine in the morning, the final of the Liszt Cup International Piano Competition, which focused on the attention of tens of millions of music fans, finally kicked off!
