George was very happy to see Fang again so soon, and of course, as the president, he was very responsible and explained to Fang Yichen what the second-year students could do in the piano performance club.

After listening to it, Fang Yichen summed it up, it was miscellaneous.

The piano performance club is a very mature club, in which both performance and chores have their own regular system.

Under George's explanation, she realized why the school gave so many credits for joining this club.

It turns out that all the funds of the club are earned by the students themselves. How to make money, it is the money from the tickets sold when the students perform, and the money will be used to rent the venue, print tickets and small advertisements, etc.

That's not all, the piano performance is not like an opera performance, it is over, it has to buy a ticket to listen to the audience to score the performers after listening, and only those who are recognized by 70% of the audience are considered qualified.

"What if no one comes to listen when I'm performing?" Fang Yichen thought that if only one person listened, and then this one person voted for himself, would he be qualified.

"There is also a requirement for the attendance rate of the performance, which must be 50 percent, and if it is not achieved, the students themselves will be responsible for the venue and all the expenses required for the performance." George said it wasn't a small amount of money and that most of his classmates couldn't afford it.

Fang Yichen raised his eyebrows, "In other words, if the tickets sell well, you will take the extra money, and if they don't sell well, let the students make up for this deficiency by themselves?" "It's really a good deal, no matter how you count the club, you won't lose money.

"No, no, no, it's not like that, maybe I didn't explain it clearly, the ticket money earned by student performances only needs to pay for venue fees and printing, etc., and 10% of the profits paid to the club are used to maintain daily management, and the remaining 90% is the income of the students themselves."

Fang Yichen nodded when he heard this, it was fair to charge like this.

"That means there's no rule that second-year students can't rent a venue to perform, right? Now that I'm a member of the club, it stands to reason that I can apply as well, right? ”

For her, it is a very rare opportunity to study abroad, there is no such club performance in China, and now that she is involved, she also wants to fight for herself, in case she can, she also wants to experience the feeling of opening a concert in a foreign country, she feels that this kind of performance has the same thing as joint performance.

George paused, he really didn't expect her to be so bold and make such a request on the first day of joining, but she was right, there really is no such rule in the club, so if Fang wants to apply for an opening concert, it is theoretically possible.

"Of course, but because you joined relatively late, there aren't many venues and hours to choose from this semester. And you just joined in, and you don't know much about everything here, I suggest you study with your seniors first, and when you figure everything out, if you want to apply for a performance in the next semester, I will reserve a venue and time for you, what do you think? ”

Fang Yichen made a gesture of listening carefully, nodded while listening, and just when George thought he had convinced people, she spoke, "I think your proposal is very good, I thank you very much for taking care of me, but I am only an exchange student, and I have only been studying in school for one year, I don't know what else is waiting for me to deal with next semester, so if I can, I still want to apply for this semester's performance time." ”

George didn't expect the gentle-looking Chinese girl to be so tough, as the president, if someone applies for it, he will be responsible for arranging it. So he took out a notebook from the drawer and opened it for Fang Yichen to see.

"Well, since you must, let's see." There are a few tables drawn in the notebook, "This is the performance time and order of the three venues, and the recent ones have been booked, if you really want to apply this semester, then you can only apply for this performance time in three weeks, but only the largest venue is free at this point in time, because the venue is relatively large, so the rent will be very high, and if you apply for a performance, the venue will be rented for at least two days, are you sure you want to try?" ”

George pointed to the number in front of the dollar sign on the table, he was really kind, the average third-grader wouldn't try the highest difficulty at the beginning.

Fang Yichen looked at it and said very simply, "I want to try it." ”

George looked at her for a few seconds, saw the firmness in her eyes, and could only raise his hand to show submission, "OK, OK, you decide, then I'll book you this venue in three weeks." ”

Fang Yichen nodded.

George literally picked up the pen and put her name on the form.

Since then, Fang Yichen has been busy, because she is a newcomer and doesn't understand what this performance has to do from preparation to actual performance, so for the next two weeks, she followed George, the president, to help the students who were about to hold the performance to set up the venue, and distribute flyers to people on the street.

Yes, this kind of solo performance has no mass base, relying on the propaganda method of distributing leaflets.

The students who performed on the weekend of the first week chose a small venue, except for the stage, there were less than 30 chairs placed underneath, and the ticket price was also low to a certain extent, only two dollars a ticket, to be honest, the tickets sold were not enough to rent the venue.

George saw her doubts, "Some students are not too sure about their piano level, so they would rather pay for this credit themselves." ”

Fang Yichen understood, this is purely spending money to buy credits, but it is not without benefits, at least after a long experience, he may be less nervous when he is holding this kind of performance in the future.

But even so, the student's performance was a great failure, and there were less than 10 spectators on the weekend night, and the student played the piano in front of him for an hour, and in the end the audience voted only 30% satisfied, which means that even if the student paid for it, he still didn't earn credits, and he needed to hold a new performance in the second half of the semester.

Fang Yichen looked at some of the decadent classmates, and thought to herself, foreigners' brains really can't turn around, if she is in the situation of classmates, she can come up with a hundred ways to get the credits, and she will definitely not let herself contribute to the money, and then the matter has not been done.

There were two classmates who performed in the second week, she followed a female classmate, and the overall situation of the small venue she chose was better than that of the first male classmate, and she also got some money, but she got credits.
