"You make an offer. We don't make a counteroffer. ”

On Monday evening, Fang Xing finished the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala program and flew back to the East China Sea from Kyoto.

As soon as I got off the plane, there was a private invitation.

Sitting in the Tang Yun Tea Shop in the Donghai World Trade Building, the new Xinyang Maojian has been brewed.

Opposite sits Chen Lipeng, a shareholder of Puxiang Records.

This time it was a private invitation, and there was no one else around, so Chen Lipeng spoke a lot more directly.

He took out a business card and pushed it in front of Fang Xing: "This is the business card of the producer of Rhett Film and Television's S-level martial arts production "Blood Rain Jianghu".

"I'll tell you directly. The producer is Wen Han's uncle. So, as long as you agree to sell "Skylark", the characters in this big production after four times, you can choose.

"In addition, I also have some influence on the three major golden melody awards in the Chinese music scene, and I can help you a lot.

"Your song "Skylark" is indeed very good.

"Actually, this violin piece, in your hands, doesn't play much of a role.

"This violin piece is more suitable for performance on the stage of international competitions.

"You should also know that this violin song, if you put it in pop music, will not actually be a big hit.

"It's only in the game that it shows its true value.

"I can make this 'Skylark' gain worldwide acclaim.

"Of course, we don't need to think of this as a deal, we can think of it as making friends."

Chen Lipeng threw out an olive branch, and it was already very clear that he was making friends.

It's about networking.

Moreover, the Chen family has indeed a wide range of connections.

The producer of this S-level martial arts production "Blood Rain Jianghu" turned out to be Chen Wenhan's uncle.

No wonder the Chen family can designate roles outside the four times at will.

The producers are all sons-in-law of the Chen family, so arranging a role is naturally simple.

In fact, with Chen Lipeng's attitude, Fang Xing didn't hate this person.

Because Chen Lipeng is a very standard businessman, and his speech will not be offensive.

To tell the truth, if Chen Lipeng came to talk from the beginning, don't use his power to suppress people, Fang Xing might really compose a violin piece for him.

Of course it won't be Skylark.

Since "Skylark" has been given to Lu Xiang'er, this matter will not change.

It's just that the first time I came to ask for "Skylark" was Chen Wenhan.

Fang Xing thought that Chen Wenhan was going to play his own tune in the competition, and the whole person was not good.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, "Skylark" is not for sale." Fang Xing replied in a very ordinary tone.

Chen Lipeng has been working hard in the business for so many years, and when he heard Fang Xing's calm tone when he spoke, he knew that this matter was difficult to do.

However, the piece "Skylark" was wanted by the violin genius in their family.

Moreover, the old man of his family also said that as long as he can win this song, he can buy it at any price.

Therefore, the Chen family's "Skylark" is bound to win.

Chen Lipeng laughed dryly twice and said: "Mr. Fang, I'm not afraid to tell you, we know several judges of the Paganini International Violin Competition, and in fact, some of the results have been set from the beginning. ”

Fang Xing heard a hint of threat from his words.

Chen Wenhan's mother is a violinist and has won many international competitions.

In the violin circle, the Chen family is indeed very well-connected.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Chen family knows the judges of the Paganini International Violin Competition.

In an international event like this, it's all too normal to lobby the judges.

Only the level is not much different, and moving up and down one or two places will not have much impact.

Chen Lipeng continued: "If you give "Skylark" to other contestants, you will not get good results, only by giving it to us can you make this song famous.

"You should know that whether a piece can become a famous song depends on who plays it."

Under normal circumstances, Chen Lipeng is telling the truth.

Whether a piece of music can be famous in the world or not does have a lot to do with the performer.

At least a piece played by a famous violinist can make the piece reach the pinnacle of the piece in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, this piece, even if it is a masterpiece, may take a long time, and it will slowly be discovered by the world.

Fang Xing was indifferent to his lobbying, shook his head and smiled: "Actually, you still underestimate this song "Skylark", this song is not for sale, there is no need to talk about it." As for the S-level resources that Mr. Chen said, thank you for your kindness, I don't think I need it. ”

Chen Lipeng shook his head and smiled: "Young man, you may have walked too smoothly, and you don't know what S-level resources mean. In this way, I can help you get the opportunity to audition for the second male play, as long as the acting skills are not too bad, I can help you win this role. ”

The reason why Chen Lipeng dared to promise this was because he saw Fang Xing's image with his own eyes.

With Fang Xing's appearance conditions, it is enough to play the second male, but the difference is only in the acting skills.

However, for an S-level production like this, it is definitely necessary to invite traffic stars, and the role of traffic stars does not have high requirements for acting skills, as long as they are not too overwhelming.

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "I'm more picky when I take on the play, so I still thank Mr. Chen for his kindness." ”

When Chen Lipeng heard this answer, he was a little stunned, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

Picky about taking on the show?

A newcomer who has never acted before even said that he is more picky in taking on the play.

Chen Lipeng even suspected that he had misheard.

This negotiation still did not come to an end.

After coming out of Tang Yun Tea House, Chen Lipeng felt that Fang Xing was like a master who did not enter oil and salt, and he had such good conditions, but he just wanted a little-known violin song, but he couldn't even take it.

With these S-level resources taken out, it can even be said that several famous composers in China can help compose a tune.

But Fang Xing was not moved at all.

Chen Lipeng couldn't understand Fang Xing's thoughts.

S-level film and television resources are in front of you, and even the role of the second male has been promised, you only need to go through the cutscene of a trial play.

Even so, Fang Xing did not agree.

There are only two reasons that Chen Lipeng can think of.

First, Fang Xing doesn't want to get involved in the film and television industry.

Second, Fang Xing wants to play the male lead.

A singer who has never acted before, wants to play the male lead of an S-level big production in the first play.

It's nothing short of whimsical.

If you are from Beiying and CCTV Opera, there is still a little possibility.

This has to be supported by capital, a singer who has never acted before, if he really wants to play the male lead with a lion open his mouth, it is definitely thinking too much.

Although the Chen family is determined to win "Skylark", Chen Lipeng has tried his best.

To do this, I still can't get this violin piece, and when I return home, I can say it in front of the old man.

After leaving the tea shop, Chen Lipeng called home: "Dad, I personally talked to the composer, but the other party refused to sell."

"Yes, so I said all the conditions, the best resources, the best connections, and even said that I could help him lobby the judges of the Golden Melody Awards.

He still wouldn't agree, so forget about this song, it's not completely irreplaceable.

"Okay, I know, over there for the three Golden Melody Awards, you can press it."

……

At night.

Fang Xing used the piano to accompany Lu Xiang'er to practice.

Her "Skylark" has been practiced very skillfully.

Fang Xing has also registered the copyright of "Skylark" with the music association designated by the Paganini International Violin Competition.

Lu Xianger has also submitted the repertoire to the organizer of the competition.

When the two were practicing.

Lu Xianger received a phone call, communicating in English, and spoke stumblingly.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiang'er frowned and said: "The organizer said that the accompanying orchestra is too late to rehearse "Skylark" now, and asked me if I want to change the tune. ”

Fang Xing asked, "You agreed?" ”

Lu Xiang'er shook her head and replied: "No, I've been preparing for so long, and now it's too late to practice when I change the repertoire." ”

Although I have practiced many classic violin pieces since I was a child, if I change the tunes temporarily, it is not that there are no tunes that can be used.

However, "Skylark" has been practicing for almost a month, and it is only a few days before the rematch, and now that I have changed the repertoire, I am definitely not proficient enough when I compete.

Fang Xing then asked, "What did the organizer say?" ”

Lu Xiang'er recalled and replied: "They said that they could not provide accompaniment for instruments such as piano and violin, and if I didn't change the tune, I would have to bring my own accompaniment or participate in the competition without a cappella." ”

The violin is not like the piano.

The piano can also be played well on its own.

When played on its own, the violin, especially some difficult pieces, can be more monotonous.

Therefore, it will be a big loss to participate in the competition a cappella.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to change the tune?" ”

Lu Xiang'er shook her head vigorously: "I don't want to." ”

"There were two options, one was to make a digital accompaniment, and the other was to find a symphony orchestra at school. I can be responsible for the piano part, cello, double bass, etc., which are relatively simple, and I can cooperate well in a few days of rehearsal. Fang Xing proposed two plans.

The piece "Skylark" can be accompanied by piano or symphony orchestra.

Among them, the most important accompaniment instrument is the piano.

As for the scores for cello, double bass, and brass sets, there are relatively few.

Even some instruments with few passages, when playing in an ensemble, are so bored that they can fall asleep.

If the Dongyin No. 1 Symphony Orchestra is willing to accompani, it will be able to play for a few days of rehearsals.

"I don't know if the school symphony orchestra can agree, I'm a little worried." Lu Xiang'er sighed, feeling that this time things were a bit tortuous.

Fang Xing actually thought of another plan.

If the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra is not willing to help, then pay for a symphony orchestra.

The competition only takes one day, and if you invite a symphony orchestra, from rehearsal to the competition, two or three hundred thousand should be able to get it.

However, this is a backup plan, so talk to the school first.

……

The next day.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er came to the eighth floor of the administration building of the Donghai Conservatory of Music, Professor He Zhaolin's office.

"Is there anything you guys are up to? I'll have a class later, only twenty minutes. He Zhaolin looked at his watch.

Lu Xiang'er hurriedly got down to business: "Professor, I submitted "Skylark" as a repertoire for the semi-finals, and the organizers did not object, but they said that the accompanying orchestra had no time to rehearse the new piece, so let me bring my own accompaniment, otherwise I would have to change the repertoire. ”

He Zhaolin frowned and said: "This is indeed a problem, the previous students used classic songs to participate in the competition, and there has never been such a problem." ”

It's rare to compete in an international competition with a new song.

He Zhaolin has tutored many students in the competition, but has never encountered this problem.

Fang Xing took over the conversation: "So, we would like to ask the school's No. 1 Symphony Orchestra to play Genoa accompaniment." ”

"This ......"

He Zhaolin couldn't make a decision on this matter alone, so he could only say: "This matter has to be applied to the school, and the procedures for the First Symphony Orchestra to perform abroad are still quite complicated." There is also the issue of funding. ”

The performance of the Dongyin No. 1 Symphony Orchestra is in charge of the school's special leadership.

Performing abroad definitely requires funding.

If you need funding, you need to apply to the school.

However, this time, the symphony orchestra performed abroad, but it was not for profit, but only to help a participating student accompaniment.

If you want to apply for this funding, it will be more troublesome.

Fang Xing took the initiative to say: "I will fully sponsor the funds for this overseas performance." ”

When the Dongyin No. 1 Symphony Orchestra goes out to perform, it can basically get sponsorship.

If you have a sponsorship, it will be much easier to apply to the school for an event.

He Zhaolin nodded and said, "If that's the case, I can apply to the school, and I think the symphony orchestra would also like to participate in this event." I will apply to the school first, and I will inform you when the result is available. ”

After all, it is the most valuable international violin competition.

If you can participate in this competition, even if it is just to accompaniment, it will be a good resume for the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Xianger received a call from He Zhaolin and confirmed that the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra agreed to go to Genoa to help with the accompaniment.

Subsequently, He Zhaolin arranged for the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra to rehearse with Lu Xianger.

Among them, the piano accompaniment is in charge of Fang Xing.

After all, there are many passages in piano accompaniment, and if you start practicing now, you will definitely not be proficient enough when it comes to the competition.

Fang Xing was already very proficient, so he directly participated in the rehearsal.

The next few days.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er rehearsed "Skylark" with the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra together.

Actually, everyone has worked together twice on "Singing" before, and they are already very familiar.

Working together again, from the beginning of the rehearsal, it went smoothly.

Moreover, this time, He Zhaolin personally served as the conductor of the symphony orchestra.

After many years, he has the opportunity to return to the Paganini International Violin Competition, which is very amazing.

During the rehearsal, Fang Xing and He Zhaolin discussed the piece and added some accompanying passages to make the whole piece more pleasant.

After the rehearsal of "Skylark" by the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra, everyone liked this piece very much, especially when the violin simulated the call of a lark, as if a group of larks were really heard.

After a week of rehearsals, it was time for the re-round of the Paganini International Violin Competition.

A group of more than 100 people took a flight to Genoa, Paganini's hometown, the seaport city.

Since the entire Dongyin No. 1 Symphony Orchestra went this time, there were more people, and it looked like a charter flight.
