Chapter 210 The time is Tanabata
At the end of the performance in New York, the Spring Festival concert came to a perfect conclusion, and the mainstream media around the world commented on it, in addition to praise, they also expressed their hope to hear more music works from Zhang Yao.
This is a matter of course, but if you expect piano and symphony, then people are afraid that they will be disappointed, Zhang Yao's family has almost been emptied, and his favorite is still pop music.
Although the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is the world's top symphony orchestra, it has not been so beautiful for a long time, and it has become natural that people have already recognized their orchestra, and Zhang Yao brought a long-lost surprise and passion this time.
"It's a perfect partnership, thank you for making it happen."
At the celebration reception, Moster carried a glass of champagne and said to Zhang Yao, Zhang Yao smiled, clinked glasses with him, and took a sip before saying: "Thank you for fulfilling me, this is an unforgettable experience." ”
"Zhang, I heard that you are going to join Universal Music, so what will be the copyright of this symphony?"
"We know what you're thinking, and it's a shame that you may not have time to perform for us in the future, or even whether or not you will participate in the symphony, but the Symphony of Destiny really shouldn't be a must-have," Abbado said. ”
"Old friend, I understand what you mean, you're too worried."
Zhang Yao explained: "I haven't officially started talks with Universal Music, even if they do, they will only be responsible for distribution, and the copyright will not become my bargaining chip to join Universal Music, the copyright still belongs to me, and you should naturally be authorized." ”
As for the cost of commercial licensing, it should be Ai Xiaoqi's job, and at this time Ai Xiaoqi also came over. "Christine is here again with her aunt and uncle. Let's talk about it. ”
I apologized to Moster. The two went to receive Christine and them, and Christine first introduced: "Zhang, let me introduce you, this is my aunt Amanda. Smith, and my uncle Danny. Smith. ”
Americans and island people, like most countries, women have to take their husband's surname after marriage, but Amanda is so famous that people are still used to Amanda. The name Taylor.
"Uncle. This is Zhang Yao, and the lady next to him is his agent Ai Xiaoqi. ”
"Hello." Christine, the middleman, finished cleaning, and the five of them did it, there were already many celebrities at this celebration, Zhang Yao dealt with them one by one just now, and no one bothered when he saw them talking about things.
"Zhang, let's get straight to the point."
Danny was the first to speak: "You asked Christine to tell me, and we know that you are a very successful pop singer in the Chinese music scene, but what should I say?" ”
Danny organized the language. "We really wanted to have the distribution rights to the Symphony of Destiny and the previous piano pieces, so I came with sincerity. So your requirements were also taken into account. ”
"Mr. Smith, first of all, I need to explain that there is no problem with the distribution rights you want, but only in Europe and the United States, in the Celestial Empire, Zhang Yao has his own company."
Ai Xiaoqi continued: "We also know that you have doubts, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Danny nodded and said: "We don't deny Zhang's ability to compose, but after all, there is a gap between pop music in the Celestial Empire and Europe and the United States, and the style is not the same, and Zhang's success in the Celestial Empire does not mean that he can also succeed in Europe and the United States." ”
"So, you can't promise Zhang Yao to join Universal Music, is that right?"
Ai Xiaoqi said: "Mr. Smith, we do not intend to sell the distribution rights in exchange for Zhang Yao to join your company, what we need is just an opportunity. ”
"I want to prove to you that even if it doesn't work out, we'll give you the right to publish."
Zhang Yao then added, saying: "I will prepare a DEMO, if your company thinks it is okay at that time, then I will sign a contract with me, if I think it can't be done, it is my own problem." ”
"I see, then everything is not a problem."
Danny smiled: "Zhang, in fact, I personally have a lot of confidence in you, but you know, Universal Music is not my company after all. You may want to keep an eye out for the billboards, which may help you. ”
"Billboard" is similar to the domestic "Gramophone", it is a magazine and a list, in fact, the domestic "Gramophone" is modeled after the "Billboard".
"It's a pleasure to work with, and thank you, Christine."
Zhang Yao raised his glass, and Christine said, "You are my friend, and if you want to say thank you to me, it should be my uncle." Zhang, I'm looking forward to your pop songs, too. ”
"I've got something to go back to during this time, and I'll bother Mr. Smith when I get back."
Zhang Yao smiled: "If you want to hear it, you have to wait for a while." ”
After talking about business, Christine and the others left, after all, they were not invited, and Zhang Yao still needed to deal with other people.
After the cooperation with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra ended, Zhang Yao and Ai Xiaoqi said goodbye to Most, and they stayed in the United States, and after a few days of rest, Ai Xiaoqi went to negotiate with Universal Music, and returned to China directly after the negotiation.
Qingxi Airport is still crowded after a long absence, Zhang Yao and Ai Xiaoqi wearing sunglasses have not attracted anyone's attention, the media does not know that they will come back at this time, and even if they do, they can't chase it, and they can't write news.
With the help of the Ai family, Zheng Xiao is not affected by the blockade incident at all, and is still a diva with a deeper and deeper background, and Daybreak Studio has to continue to operate.
Zhang Yao was not in Qingxi, and she took on more activities, and at this time, she had just returned from Hong Kong. Following Ai Xiaoqi back to the studio, Zhang Yao lay directly on the sofa, exactly the same as before.
"Well, don't you miss it very much."
Zheng Xiao also made Zhang Yao a cup of coffee, Zhang Yao nodded and said, "Pick me up, I originally planned to go to the island country, but it's just right for you to come back, so as not to make me tired." ”
"Sister Xiaoyi, you are exempt, I have been flying until I want to vomit in the past few months."
Ai Xiaoqi was also paralyzed on the sofa, always feeling a little uncomfortable in the adjustment of jet lag, Zheng Xiaoyi smiled: "Zhang Yao took you to travel around the world, it's not good." ”
"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, next time there is such an opportunity to make you better."
It was nothing, but after lying on the sofa, Ai Xiaoqi became weak when she spoke, and Zheng Xiao also said: "If you are willing, there is no problem, before you said that Zhang Yao sang a song for Asuka, what if you also sing a song for me?" ”
"Sing it, I can't stop him."
Glaring at Zhang Yao, Ai Xiaoqi said indifferently, Zhang Yao said: "Why are you staring at me, is it still less for me to sing to you?" ”
"Don't say it's nothing, you really haven't sung to me specifically, as for Xiaoqi, I don't know whether to say yes or no, keeping your sadness to yourself is a very good song."
Zheng Xiao also seemed to be very concerned about this, and Zhang Yao said: "Don't dare to say anything else, it's not easy to listen to the song, but this matter will be put aside for now, and now it's not you who want to sing to it, but the fans." ”
"For another three or five months, I will be banned for two years, and I don't know if the fans who bought the tickets still remember."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yao was a little frustrated, and Ai Xiaoqi said: "There is so much news about you on the Internet, the people who buy tickets are young people, and they will definitely go online, and it is a problem to publicize it to let them know." ”
"That's right, now my name has become a sensitive word, how can I inform it."
Zhang Yao scratched his head helplessly, and Zheng Xiao also asked: "When are you going to fulfill your promise to prepare for the concert, let's sum it up." ”
"Next month is the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the people who buy tickets are couples, of course, this day is the most suitable."
Qixi Festival, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, was originally a girl praying to the Weaver Girl for dexterity, because on this day the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet, and now people are regarded as Valentine's Day.
"That's good, there's still a lot of time to prepare."
Zheng Xiao also nodded and said: "I didn't find a organizer to cooperate with before, which just saved me from trouble, because the organizer is estimated to be under pressure because of the ban on you, and the gymnasium is not a problem." ”
If it is because Zhang Yao does not rent the gymnasium, it is not a blockade but a restriction of power, it is completely two changes, and no matter how good the Zhang family is, it is impossible to achieve this.
"The venue is not a problem, so the rest is how to notify the person who bought the ticket."
Zhang Yao sighed and said, "When the tickets were sold, I didn't leave my contact information, and I couldn't call them one by one." ”
"Xiaoqi has already said just now, your popularity on the Internet has not fallen, so of course you use the Internet to notify."
Zheng Xiaoyi said: "It's also to blame you for being too lazy, you didn't even register a Weibo blog at the beginning, and it was okay to let someone from the studio take care of it, but now I can only help you call for it." ”
"In addition to Weibo, there is also a Handu post bar, where fans are most concentrated, and it should be the best channel."
Zheng Xiao also mentioned it, Ai Xiaoqi immediately thought of it, and then said: "There is also a message group, although the stickiness is not as strong as when Plan Y was at that time, but there are still a lot of active people, but this requires Asuka to come forward, she is very prestigious in the message group." ”
"Give her a call and she'll be done."
Zhang Yao said: "Say things in the major forums, do as much as you can, in short, try not to omit anything." ”
"Don't worry, my assistant and I will do it well, you and Xiaoqi should rest first."
Zheng Xiao also nodded, told Zhang Yao and Ai Xiaoqi to rest well, and then called the people from the studio to start arranging this matter, announcing the news that the concert had been set and was ready to be held through various online channels, and asked fans to tell each other, and the rest was to contact Qingxi Gymnasium.
