Rebecca followed Zimmerin, and the two walked together to the concert hall of the Berliner Philharmoniker.

Almost all the music agencies, to be precise, all the classical music agencies have basically come here.

At the same time, in addition to the Berliner Philharmoniker, there were also some other theaters and orchestra directors who also came to the Berliner Philharmoniker's side.

Some of those who didn't come joined the discussion via video conference.

Obviously, everyone is thinking about how to carve up the market left by Lang Liangyue.

Of course, this is true for people at these brokerage firms.

For those in the orchestra, they are thinking about how to assign Lang Liangyue's work so that their touring performances, or music seasons, are not too ordinary, and there is no top pianist in charge.

When everyone was seated, Sir Simon spoke first.

"I want to ...... All of you should already know that Lang Liangyue needs to temporarily leave the classical music scene because of a hand injury, and I don't need to say more about the detailed situation, you should all know it yourself.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to our door so soon and wanted to ask us if we could assign some of Lang Liangyue's work to our artists. ”

Seeing that some of the crowd were a little unable to sit still, Sir Simon took the lead and waved his hand and continued.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry, even if you want to refute it, don't refute it at this time.

Because I have to tell you that all the pianists who can play in the Berliner Philharmoniker's trip to Asia must be Asian! This is undeniable and unchangeable!

So, if your pianist is not Asian, please don't continue to discuss with me about whether you can replace Lang Liangyue.

Because even if it's discussed, I'm not going to give you the slightest room for agreement! ”

Speaking of this place, Sir Simon glanced at the crowd around him.

Obviously, some anxious people don't dare to do more operations at this time.

They could only sit there obediently, like Rebecca, and listen honestly to Sir Simon's arrangement.

And when Sir Simon had said this, he turned his gaze to Zimmerin and the agents beside him with confident faces, and spoke to them.

"All in all, this allocation is actually more like a tender, and I want to be able to see your respective tender documents, rather than just talking about it and trying to use words to get your own benefits.

Zimmerin, Ruth, Carbrens, I've just read the documents from some of your companies, which say about your respective artists, some of whom we are familiar with, and some of whom we are not so familiar with.

First up is Dio Fu and Jia Wang, who were originally the musicians we had planned.

As you would like, we will consider moving the number of Dior and Jia upwards to a suitable position, and we will discuss the exact number of matches later.

Now what we need to discuss is the arrangement of three concerts that we have set aside in addition to Dior and Jia! ”

Three concerts?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that the Berliner Philharmoniker would give three concerts.

The minimum income for a concert is 5,000 euros, and if you can win all three concerts, it means that your guaranteed income is 15,000 euros.

It may not seem like much, but in fact the income will be much more than this 15,000 euros.

Because you can't just play with them and be one of them.

You definitely have to have your own commercial development.

And the three concerts, which basically means that you can use the channels of the Berliner Philharmoniker to get in touch with the channels of classical music distribution in the three regions.

Looking back, 150,000 euros is the minimum price.

Not to mention that your reputation is tied to the Berliner Philharmoniker, and many people pay attention to you because of the Berliner Philharmoniker and start buying your CDs.

Zimmerlin didn't make a sound at this time, after all, he had already been promised, and Fu Tune could get a lot of extra concerts.

At this time, Fu Tiao's main competitor was the one sitting next to him.

Wang Jia's agent, Ruth.

The eyes of the two men intertwined, neither of them speaking first, but continued to watch the others compete for the right to play the three concerts.

Everyone is talking about the advantages of their own musicians.

said that the person in his family has been in hot form recently.

Say whose level is strong.

It's basically that level of boasting.

This level of boasting came to an end until an unknown agent who did not seem to have a classical music agency on the German side.

The man, speaking very fluent English with a strong French accent, began to speak to Sir Simon.

"Sir Simon, I must introduce you to our family's artist at this time, Cho Sung-jin!"

"Zhao Chengzhen?"

Upon hearing the name, Zimmerlin was stunned for a moment.

Not only that, but some of the people around were also stunned.

Zhao Chengzhen's name is not unfamiliar to them, or rather, very familiar.

When Zhao Chengzhen actually became famous, it was before Fu Diao became famous.

That is, before the Chopin International Piano Competition, Zhao Chengzhen had already made a little name for himself in the global competition venues.

It has even become an idol in the hearts of many young pianists.

In other words, if it weren't for Fu Tune, Cho Sung-jin might have become a top pianist like Fu Tune by now.

After all, the title of the first place in the Chopin International Piano Competition is far louder than the title of the second place in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

If he can win the title of first place in the Chopin International Piano Competition, then he may lead all the honors before him and become the best newcomer of the year.

It's just a pity that Fu Tune's birth interrupted all his plans.

If Fu Tiao was just born out of thin air and did not show the strength to crush everything, then he still has a little chance of continuing to grow.

But who would have thought that after Fu Tiao was born, he not only successfully won the championship of the Chopin International Piano Competition, but also continued to grow his level and strength without any restrictions.

Originally, many invitations that should have been given to Zhao Chengzhen were all cut off by Fu Tune's birth and subsequent growth against the sky.

Eventually, he became what everyone now sees, a top pianist.

As a result, Zhao Chengzhen, who was originally concerned by everyone, gradually disappeared, and Fu Tune became a new generation of classical music darlings in the eyes of everyone.

Hearing Zhao Chengzhen's name, Zimmerlin even had a trace of trance.

He didn't know how long it had been since he heard Zhao Chengzhen's name.

He had also paid attention to Zhao Chengzhen before, and he had chatted with Zhao Chengzhen for a while.

At that time, Zhao Chengzhen could be regarded as high-spirited, he directly rejected all the brokerage companies, saying that he would win the championship of the Chopin International Piano Competition before making a decision.

Later, when Zhao Chengzhen won the second place, he also went to Zhao Chengzhen to ask him if he wanted to continue to sign a brokerage contract with their Deutsche Grammograph Company to represent his subsequent growth.

But unfortunately, Cho Sung-jin rejected them, and ended up going to the same agency with his teacher at the Ecole Supérieure de Musique in Paris, following an agent he was not very familiar with.

is probably the agent in front of him who is trying to introduce Zhao Chengzhen.

For a moment, he even felt a trace of impermanence.

However, the agent didn't seem to feel everyone's emotions, but continued to introduce everyone very seriously.

"Zhao Chengzhen is definitely the strongest Asian among the new generation of pianists, except for Fu Tune!

I don't think I need to say anything more to you, you should also know Cho Sung-jin's resume.

The professor at the Conservatoire Supérieure de Musique de Paris, where he followed, has always given Zhao Chengzhen countless care and help.

With these care and help, Cho Sung-jin has successfully won numerous praises from the Parisian classical music scene.

Become the hottest classical pianist in Paris, and even in France!

His sincerity for music and his desire to interpret music itself have conquered almost all music critics who have heard his performances!

Sir Simon, you should have heard the name of Cho Sung-jin, he is also an Asian, he is definitely able to represent South Korea, I remember you are also going to South Korea to perform, don't you really think about Cho Sung-jin? He will definitely surprise you! ”

"Cho Sung-jin ......"

Sir Simon was also hesitant at this moment.

As the person in front of him said, he had indeed heard of Zhao Chengzhen's reputation.

He had also followed the young pianist before.

It's just that he has such a problem, that is, he doesn't know much about what kind of situation this pianist is now.

After all, since the Chopin International Piano Competition, Zhao Chengzhen did not continue to look for other opportunities to become famous, but directly chose to return to the Conservatoire Supérieure de Musique de Paris to study, ignoring nothing and directly starting to precipitate.

He never heard Zhao Chengzhen play again.

So, he asked, turning to the agent.

"Zhao Chengzhen, is there anything on his side...... Recordings, I'd love to hear about his recent form, I don't need his Chopin because we don't play Chopin, I want to listen to something new, something that he never played before. ”

"Absolutely!"

The agent's eyes lit up, he took out his package, took out a USB flash drive and handed it to the staff on the side.

The staff inserted the USB flash drive into a small player and handed it to Sir Simon.

Sir Simon did not hesitate to play Cho Sung-jin's music, listening to the content of which was slightly silent.

Seeing Sir Simon so silent, the agent was a little nervous for a moment.

He didn't know if Sir Simon liked Cho Sung-jin's playing.

But fortunately, Sir Simon seemed to be a little surprised by Zhao Chengzhen's performance, nodded slowly, and spoke.

"Although it is not as dazzling as Dior and Jia's performance, I have to admit that Zhao Chengzhen is one of the few musicians I have seen who is deeply involved in the composer itself!"

"Of course! After all, this is the main direction of the French school, and it is only natural that he will focus his main attention on the composer himself! ”

The agent couldn't help grinning when he saw Sir Simon agreeing with Zhao Chengzhen, and then looked at Zimmerlin and the others, and added.

"As for not being as good as Dior Fu and Jia Wang, I think this is normal, Jia She became famous and debuted very early, almost ten years older than Zhao Chengzhen, and Dior ...... He's just a pervert, there shouldn't be anyone who can compare with Dior, it's normal to be incomparable. ”

"Even Jia, I feel that I may not be as good as Dior."

Ruth, who had not spoken, that is, Wang Jia's agent, also laughed at this time, and after a slight remark of Fu tune, he said to Zimmerlin.

"Zimmerin, how about a deal?"

"Deal?"

Zimmerlin looked at Ruth in front of him in confusion, and his expression was slightly cold: "What is the deal with you, you are from the Universal Company, and the main business direction is not in Europe, what do we have to trade, or ...... Are you going to give us the number of Wang Jia's trips in Asia? ”

Ruth smiled, "Why not?" Of course I can give it to you! ”

"Huh?"

After hearing this answer, Zimmerlin was stunned for a moment, then some thoughts went through his heart, looked at Ruth in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he spoke.

"What do you mean...... Europe? ”

"Well, of course!"

Ruth nodded: "How about I give you Wang Jia's performances on the Berlin Philharmoniker's trip to Asia, in exchange for some performances of your Deutsche Grammophon Company in Europe?" Think about it? ”

"Not enough, and ......"

Zimmerlin shook his head directly: "Haven't you tried so many times?" Let Wang Jia go to the European market to see if you can impress the audience in the European market, I think you should already have the answer, obviously, Wang Jia has no way to do it, you have already made a lot of efforts for this, at present, Wang Jia can have control, probably only ......"

Zimmerin thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "The Vienna Musikverein, the concert hall that you can go to for money?" ”

"Try it, you won't lose money anyway."

Ruth grinned and said, "It's really not good, we can still make an exchange here, for example...... Give your Dior an opening and let him perform in North America? The radiation in South America is also more difficult to control, but there is no problem in North America, and even Carnegie in New York is not impossible. ”

Speaking of which, he stretched out his hand to Zimmerlin.

"Do you want to cooperate? Let Wang Jia come to Europe and give us a little bit of Lang Liangyue's market in Europe? You won't lose. ”

"Wang Jia, European ......"

Zimmerlin hesitated.

What he is hesitating about now is not whether this cooperation will be done or not.

Because this cooperation is really too tempting, it is basically equivalent to saying that as long as Deutsche Grammophon is not so strong in attacking, then their global parent company can give them a rich reward.

Deutsche Grammophon AG was acquired by Universal's parent company and is a music agency owned by Universal.

It may sound like a subordinate relationship, but in fact, there is still a competitive relationship between the two, and there is no unlimited sharing of resources between the two.

In addition to Lang Liangyue's own influence, Lang Liangyue has received a lot of resources in Europe, as well as the joint efforts of Universal and Deutsche Grammophone.

And if Lang Liangyue gives up his resources, the most likely ones to get are Universal Company and Deutsche Grammophone.

However, because Universal's main business site is still in North America, not Europe, their control over Europe is not so strong.

Therefore, almost all the resources left by Lang Liangyue may pass through the hands of Deutsche Grammophon Company, and then be redistributed.

In addition to the Berliner Philharmoniker, which is particularly autonomous, they need a full tour and may ask to find a new partner.

For example, the concert halls of the Alte Oper in Frankfurt, which are not particularly autonomous, or the Musikverein in Vienna, where you can pay for a concert hall, are basically under the control of Deutsche Grammophone.

They really can't eat it, so they give it to others.

What the Universal wants now is to let Deutsche Grammophon eat a little more slowly, not to be too anxious to eat a fat man in one go, to eat very full, not to throw away what you don't want, to leak a little out to their people.

If the main person in charge of Deutsche Grammophone came to talk, it was very likely that he would agree directly.

After all, it's really too rich.

But Zimmerin was different.

He was thinking more about the development of Fu Tune.

Because now Fu Diao and Wang Jia are both in a similar state.

Both of them have their own god-level scenes, and they are both top-notch pianists.

Both of them are too limited in their influence, and they are still stuck in the influence of first-line pianists, which has not completely reached the global influence of Lang Liangyue and Argerich.

If the resources of Europe are given to Wang Jia, is it possible for Wang Jia to become a real top-notch pianist with all the strength and influence in advance, and let Fu Diao lose this opportunity?

Zimmerlin looked at Rebecca, who was trying to take notes and take notes beside her, and after a long silence, he asked her.

"Rebecca, you are now Fu Diao's agent, what do you think about this matter?"

"Huh?"

Before Rebecca could speak, Ruth on the other side was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Replacement?" Zimmerlin, aren't you Fu's agent anymore? ”

Zimmerlin didn't speak, just looked at Rebecca.

The others were looking at Rebecca in the same way.

This puts Rebecca under a bit of pressure.

Facing countless pairs of eyes staring at her, she said with a little hesitation: "I, I...... I do not know. ”

"But I believe in Dior."
