Chapter 185: This Chinese musician is too powerful
After they finished performing "Treading the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms", Zhou Yan took Wang Zuxian's hand and walked in the direction he came from, "Let's go to other places for a walk, it will be dark in a while." ”
Later, Zhou Yan is going to hold a concert in other cities in Neon, and Wang Zuxian is also busy with Shiseido advertising, and there are not many opportunities to hang out together like today, so Zhou Yan doesn't want to waste time here.
After walking around Ueno Park for a while, they still have to find a place to eat and enjoy the world of two.
However, the two had barely taken two steps when a boy caught up with them.
"Wait a minute, both of you."
Zhou Yan looked at the boy in front of him, and he recognized it as the musician in charge of playing the shamisen.
"What did he say?" Zhou Yan asked Wang Zuxian.
"He told us to wait." Wang Zuxian replied to Zhou Yan, and then asked the boy in neon language, "Do you have something?" ”
Hojo was hearing the conversation between the two and heard that it was Chinese, and raised his eyebrows in some surprise.
Zhou Yan has just finished a concert in Tokyo, so when he sees Chinese now, he thinks of Zhou Yan.
"I would like to ask this gentleman, is there something wrong with our performance?" Hojo asked.
"He asks you if there's anything wrong with their performance."
Zhou Yan shook his head, "No, your performance is very good." ”
Hojo didn't believe this answer, the Chinese man shook his head several times in a row just now, although the amplitude was not large, but Hojo Masato noticed it.
And as soon as "Treading the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms" ended, the two of them were about to leave, obviously dissatisfied with their performance.
The young and vigorous Hojo Masa, seeing this situation, was very unconvinced, so he deliberately ran over and wanted to ask this man what "high opinions" he had.
Although Zhou Yan didn't understand neon language, he also felt the young man's unconvinced, but even if he was not convinced, the young man still maintained his politeness.
This is also a characteristic of neon people, most neon people, no matter what they think in their hearts, are very polite on the surface, and they will bend down and bow when they speak.
Zhou Yan didn't expect that the amplitude of shaking his head just now was actually captured by this boy, which also shows a problem, that is, the boy's attention is too distracted.
It's not a good thing for the performer to pay too much attention to the audience's reaction.
Many inexperienced musicians will have this problem when they go on stage, they care too much about what the audience thinks, and as long as one audience member shows a reaction that they don't like, they will care a lot.
So, for the player, the mindset is also a gift.
Take Ma Dongfang as an example, that guy's level was average when he was in the first grade, but he just dared to go on stage and dare to express himself, and he was basically not affected by the audience.
There are a lot of erhu players in the orchestra, and there is one Liu Qin's level that is actually higher than Ma Dongfang's, at least when rehearsing, Liu Qin's performance level is higher than Ma Dongfang's.
But after Liu Qin went on stage, it was like being covered with a debuff, and his performance level had to be discounted.
Ma Dongfang is different, on the stage, he can basically show his usual level, and sometimes even because he is more excited in front of the audience, he may perform at a higher level.
Therefore, in the end, Ma Dongfang defeated Liu Qin and became the orchestra's erhu principal.
Mentality can be changed by accumulating experience on the stage, but the natural gap is sometimes difficult to make up, and some people may be on the stage a hundred times, but they can't reach the mentality of others when they first go on stage.
"If you have any ideas, please let me know, please."
As he spoke, Hojo bowed to Zhou Yan again.
At this time, Hojo Masa's classmates were still in place, and they all looked at Hojo Masashi strangely, they didn't understand why Hojo Masashi suddenly ran over to stop these two people, and they didn't understand why he bowed to this man.
Zhou Yan sighed slightly, although he knew that the young man in front of him might not really be sincere in asking for advice, but after receiving a salute from others, he still couldn't help but speak, "Your performance of the song "Treading Snow and Seeking Plum Blossoms" is too blunt, basically the original song, but the orchestration of the original song is completely different from your set. ”
Although Zhou Yan didn't say anything in-depth, Hojo knew that this man knew music as soon as he heard it.
At this moment, the unconvincing in his heart also weakened a little.
"Can you elaborate on that?"
Zhou Yan looked at the time, and then nodded, "Let's talk about the orchestration first, I saw that you put the erhu on the side, but you didn't use it, this is the biggest failure of your orchestration choice this time, without major changes, the main theme of "Treading the Snow and Seeking Plum Blossoms" must be reflected with bowed string instruments, and if you don't use the violin, the erhu is a good choice." Secondly, the choice of the three musical instruments of shakuhachi, xiao, and sheng is also very problematic, among which the shakuhachi and the flute have no clear relationship between the primary and secondary instruments, which is a taboo in orchestration......"
He talked eloquently, tired Wang Zuxian enough, and kept asking Zhou Yan to speak slowly, some words Wang Zuxian didn't know how to say in neon language, so he could only use his hands to make comparisons, or replace them with English.
Although Wang Zuxian's translation was very poor, Hojo was basically able to understand what Zhou Yan meant.
And the more he listened, the more he felt that the level of this Chinese was not ordinary.
Some of the problems that the other party said, they know, such as the erhu.
They also know that the erhu is very good, but today their erhu hand has not arrived, and the erhu level of others is not high, so they are not reluctant.
As for the choreography of shakuhachi, sheng, and xiao, they actually felt that it was inappropriate, but they didn't know how to change it.
They had tweaked it many times before, but each time it didn't work as well as they wanted.
As for Zhou Yan saying that he would modify the tune, they also thought about this, but they didn't have the ability.
These students are all in the first and second grades, and Hojo is a composition student himself, but he is only in the first grade, and he can write a sketch, and he dare not touch mature tunes.
Modifying the tune without permission may make it worse, and he lacks the ability and confidence.
Hojo swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, can you talk about how to change this tune?" ”
Zhou Yan glanced at Hojo Masa, and didn't say how to change the specific song, but talked about more basic things.
"Today's music creation is gradually moving towards an era of diversified development, and composers are beginning to pay attention to more distinctive and individual forms of expression when exploring new composition techniques."
"Some composers are starting to focus on extracting new tones from Western orchestras......"
As soon as Zhou Yan said this, his speed of speech unconsciously became faster, Wang Zuxian hurriedly raised his hand and shouted to stop, "Stop, stop, third brother, you really treat me as a professional translator, I had to take the trouble to understand what you said, and I said it so quickly." ”
After being scolded by his girlfriend, Zhou Yan coughed lightly and slowed down his speech, "The rich colors contained in traditional national instrumental music, as well as the traditional culture and humanistic ideas embodied in folk music itself, are very interesting, so some Chinese composers have studied some national instrumental music works with the spirit of exploration and innovation since ten years ago." ”
He adjusted the speed of speech very slowly, and after finishing a paragraph, he asked Wang Zuxian, "Is this okay?" ”
"I'll try."
After Wang Zuxian finished translating, Zhou Yan said the next paragraph.
"Folk Instrumental Music in Melodic Writing ......"
As soon as he spoke, a petite girl from the student orchestra walked over.
"Hojo, what's wrong?"
Hojo was delaying here for too long, and the other members of the orchestra were a little impatient, so they asked Ashikaga Takamako to ask what was going on.
Seeing Ashikaga Takamako coming, Hojo quickly explained, "This gentleman is a very good musician, and he is giving me guidance on some problems that arise in our performance. ”
Ashikaga Takamako looked at a man and a woman in front of her very suspiciously, these two people were a little strange, both wearing hats and scarves, and basically only eyes could be seen.
The woman couldn't even see her eyes clearly, and the brim of her hat covered a lot.
And this woman is dressed too strangely, with a leather coat, a short skirt, purple leggings, and a very large contrast in the colors on her body, especially the red hair, which is fake at first glance.
But in front of people, she didn't ask much, just said, "They are all waiting for you." ”
Seeing the boy's companion coming to him, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Why don't you stop here today, you still have something to do." ”
Hojo waved his hand repeatedly, "No, no, no, please continue." ”
Then he turned to Ashikaga Takamako and said, "This gentleman is really powerful, you can also listen to it." ”
At this time, Ashikaga Takamako discovered that this man turned out to be Chinese.
Hearing Hojo say this, she didn't say anything, because she also wanted to see what this man was so powerful.
Zhou Yan smiled and continued, "Now some national musical instrument works have a common denominator in terms of melody writing, that is, they try to break the folk music creation mode based on the pentatonic structure and strive to explore the possibility of tonal expansion. ”
After he said this, Wang Zuxian rolled her eyes, and she didn't know how to translate this "pentatonic structure".
However, Hojo Zheng and they are all studying music, and Wang Zuxian made a few gestures to let them understand.
What Wang Zuxian didn't know was that this was just the beginning, and the difficulty of hell was still to come.
The previous paragraph is just an introduction, and Zhou Yan began to talk about some specific technical things.
"The use of clear angles, variations, intercalations, and variations, which are usually treated as 'partial tones' in the pentatonic scale, as independent melodic backbone tones, is a technique that is gradually emerging to expand the range of application of the key."
After hearing this sentence, Wang Zuxian was directly dumbfounded, this could not be translated at all.
What is a clear angle and what is a variation...... And how should the backbone sound be translated?
These professional things, let alone translation, she can't understand what they mean.
Hojo was listening to Zhou Yan with Ashikaga Takamako, and then they all looked at Wang Zuxian expectantly, waiting for her to translate Zhou Yan's words.
Wang Zuxian held back for a long time, and finally gave up, and said truthfully, "My neon language is too bad, and I can't translate the professional things he said." ”
Ashikaga Takamako heard that Wang Zuxian couldn't translate, so he hurriedly said, "I know a classmate from China, I'll go to him to translate." ”
"This ......," Wang Zuxian turned his head to look at Zhou Yan.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Zuxian told Zhou Yan about the situation.
Zhou Yan frowned, he originally saw that there was still some time, so he decided to take a little time to talk to them, if he found another translator now, it would be too long.
And one more minute here, a little more likely to be recognized.
Seeing Zhou Yan's hesitation, Hojo bowed to him again.
"Sir, I really hope you can tell us more, thank you very much."
Wang Zuxian's heart was softer than Zhou Yan's, she tugged on Zhou Yan's sleeve, "Third brother, why don't you tell them again, anyway, there is nothing else to do, eat late at night." ”
Hearing Wang Zuxian helping, Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay, then we'll wait for a while." ”
With Zhou Yan's consent, Ashikaga Takamako hurriedly ran to find her classmates in China.
After Ashikaga Takamako left, Zhou Yan asked, "Which school are you from, and are you far from here?" ”
Hojo shook his head and said, "We are from the Togai Music Club, and the school is right next to it." ”
"Oh." Zhou Yan nodded.
Dongyi is a first-class art college, and their music department is still quite famous, in terms of the ranking of music schools in the world, it is higher than the Central Conservatory of Music.
Moreover, it is a comprehensive art college, with a music department and an art department, and its international reputation is much higher than that of the Central Conservatory of Music.
Zhou Yan asked Hojo some basic information again, and learned that they were all first- and second-grade students, so he understood, no wonder the level was average.
And they shouldn't be the more prominent students in the school, otherwise, this level can't be said.
No matter how good a school is, there is a big gap between the level of students.
In fact, art colleges and universities seem to outsiders to be very mysterious, and the threshold is also very high, but in fact they are not so exaggerated.
Take CCTV as an example, even in the composition department, most of them are ordinary people, unlike many people think, those who enter CCTV are geniuses among geniuses.
It's just that the musicians that ordinary people can see are all very powerful, after all, they are not powerful, and they basically can't be seen, and even many ordinary musicians are unemployed after graduation.
Now in China, the students of the central sound have a job assignment when they come out, and they are not worried that they will not have a job, but if the students of the central sound are assigned to ordinary units, the upper limit is basically set, and it is difficult to have great development.
Top-notch students basically go abroad in search of a more long-term development.
While waiting for the translation, Hojo took Zhou Yan to their orchestra and told his classmates about the situation.
These students hadn't heard what Zhou Yan said before, so they were all a little puzzled, is this person really as powerful as Hojomasa?
However, when they learned that Ashikaga Takamako was looking for a translator, their doubts were dispelled a lot, and if this person didn't have something, there was no need for Ashikaga Takamako to go out of his way to find a translator.
While waiting, Zhou Yan was not idle, and began to tell them how to use the orchestrator.
Because there were musical instruments on the scene, Zhou Yan didn't have to speak too profoundly, and directly demonstrated them with musical instruments.
He picked up the erhu first, pulled a section casually, and then said, "I have made some changes to this paragraph, can you hear it?" ”
These Dongyi students discussed it babblingly, and they all seemed very excited, because Zhou Yan's change of this paragraph was obviously smoother than what they had played before.
It's just that some of the things they said, Wang Zuxian can't quite translate them.
"They said something about reducing e, restoring e, and so on, and I couldn't quite understand it."
Zhou Yan nodded, "That's right, drop e, restore e, that is, the leap sound and the change palace, I used the juxtaposition of the leap sound and the change palace in the change just now, my senior brother Tan Dun used this method in "Nanxiangzi" before......"
"Let's wait until the translator comes, what you say now is in vain."
Zhou Yan smiled, "You tell them about the juxtaposition, and they will probably understand." ”
Wang Zuxian nodded and told them about the juxtaposition, and those students also nodded wildly, and they also discussed this point just now.
Zhou Yan then began to show them other passages.
About twenty minutes later, Ashikaga Takamako trotted over with a boy.
Arriving at Zhou Yan, Ashikaga Takamako panted and said, "Sir, our translator brought it, he is Chinese." ”
The boy was also out of breath, "Hello, I'm Li Xun, Chinese." ”
Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”
He replayed the section he had played at the beginning, and then said, "The juxtaposition of intercalation and change is used here, so that the partial intercalation can be used to produce new melodic intervals by one degree and four degrees, and to expand the scope of the use of the middle key in the work to make it have a pantonal and polytonal musical tendency......"
Now that the translation is here, Zhou Yan will not waste time and directly start to output wildly.
Before Li Xun could catch his breath, he began to help him translate.
After all, he is a music student, and Li Xun can understand what Zhou Yan said, and the translation is much smoother.
Especially those professional terms, if you are not a music student, you really can't understand it if you change the translation.
At the beginning, Zhou Yan couldn't stop it.
After talking about the expansion of the key, he began to talk about the synthesis of the key to the students again.
"Expanding the range of melody by means of tonal synthesis is also one of the methods used in some national instrumental works. Let's first talk about the synthesis of the same major tone, and use the method of synthesis of the same major tone to expand the key sequence of the pentatonic scale, and the common use is to juxtapose the minor third above the main tone at the same time......"
While speaking, Zhou Yan used a musical instrument to demonstrate to them.
Later, Zhou Yan told them about the non-vocal tendency of the melody and the complexity of the melody rhythm.
After talking about the melody, he explained to the students the techniques of harmony, such as the use of fourths and seconds, dense blocks, and longitudinal harmonies.
In fact, when it comes to the back, those students who are learning musical instruments can no longer keep up, and Hojo Masashi of the composition department can understand it.
But it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, because Zhou Yan showed them a demonstration, he basically dissected the song "Treading the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms", and even improvised a melody for the shamisen in front of it, and asked Hojo to try it.
Hojo just got started with this, and found that it was really much better.
The melody that Zhou Yan composed casually was much better than what they carefully figured out.
It's like a ball of wool, messy, Hojo can't find his head at all, but Zhou Yan smoothed it out with a few casual clicks.
Later, the students' eyes were full of incredulity when they looked at Zhou Yan.
This person is too powerful, and the teachers in their school are not so powerful, is Chinese music already so strong? Any person has such a level?
Isn't Zhou Yan the exception in China, but the norm?
After finishing "Treading the Snow and Seeking Plum Blossoms", Zhou Yan mentioned the sketch that the students had just played, "If you want to pursue dissonance, you don't have to mess around, you can try the three-tone drum and add the alto sheng to make a dense block of small second reset from top to bottom, and the heavy dissonance sound in the middle and low registers will make people feel oppressive." Maybe this will achieve the effect you want. ”
"Or, if you want to do something special, you can use the sheng and zither to play blocks of uncertain pitch in the high and low registers, which will be very sharp, but very risky, because it is beyond the scope of traditional harmony. But this kind of sword is on the sidelines, and it can show a primitive and rugged style. ”
After hearing Zhou Yan's words, Ashikaga Takamako licked her lips and said, "Sir, are you a music teacher?" ”
She looked at Zhou Yan, her face was full of admiration, and stars were popping in her eyes, Wang Zuxian couldn't help but pout when she saw the little girl's eyes.
Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Well, I am indeed a music teacher. ”
The students looked at each other.
Sure enough, this is the image of the music teacher in their hearts.
Ashikaga Takamako asked again, "Can I ask which school you teach?" ”
Zhou Yan didn't lie to them, and replied directly, "The Composition Department of the Central Conservatory of Music." ”
Li Xun nodded and helped him translate, "This gentleman is in the Central Music ......"
Halfway through the translation, Li Xun suddenly realized something, and he looked at Zhou Yan with wide eyes, "Teacher, are you colleagues with Zhou Yan?" ”
Compared with other students, Li Xun knows more about Zhou Yan and the Central Conservatory of Music, and he knows that Zhou Yan is a teacher in the composition department of Central Music.
There won't be many teachers in the composition department of Central Sound, especially such a young one, so Li Xun was so surprised.
He stared at the exposed part of Zhou Yan's face seriously, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that these eyes were very similar to Zhou Yan's.
"Do you ...... Is the surname Zhou? ”
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "I can also be surnamed Lu." ”
This sentence is a bit nonsensical, neon people may not understand, but Li Xun can understand it, because Lu Xun's surname is Zhou.
This person said that he could be surnamed Lu, which was equivalent to admitting that his surname was Zhou.
surnamed Zhou, so young, is a teacher of the composition department of CCTV, and is in Tokyo at this moment, this kind of indication indicates that the person in front of him is Zhou Yan.
Li Xun's mind was a little confused.
Just now he was reading a book in the dormitory, and Ashikaga Takamako suddenly came to him, saying that he wanted him to help translate, and then pulled him over without saying anything.
On the way here, Ashikaga Takamako explained the situation to him, saying that he had met a very powerful Chinese musician and urgently needed a translator, and he was also quite curious.
But Li Xun never imagined that this Chinese musician turned out to be Zhou Yan!
Hojo was half of them listening to Li Xun's translation, and said a few words to Zhou Yan, but they were all a little puzzled and didn't understand what the situation was.
"Li Xunjun, what's wrong?"
Li Xun glanced at Hojo Masa, and then asked Zhou Yan carefully, "Can I tell them about this?" ”
"Yes." Zhou Yan nodded, and then said, "But let's talk about it when we leave." ”
After saying that, he looked at his watch again, and the time was not early, he was delayed here for more than an hour.
"We'll leave now, you tell them."
Li Xun nodded, turned his head and said to Hojo Masa, "This gentleman said that he has some things and wants to leave first." ”
Hojo was a little confused, and they didn't understand why this gentleman was suddenly leaving, but they were also embarrassed to pester Zhou Yan again.
"Goodbye, sir."
Zhou Yan waved his hand at them, and said in an uncoincidental neon language, "Oily lala." ”
Wang Zuxian also smiled and waved goodbye to them, "Goodbye, classmates." ”
After saying goodbye, Zhou Yan left with Wang Zuxian.
Seeing the two of them walk for a long time, Hojo Masashi finally couldn't help but ask Li Xun, "Li Xunjun, why did this gentleman suddenly leave, what were you talking about just now?" ”
Li Xun saw that Zhou Yan and the two of them had not disappeared yet, so he shook his head, "I'll talk about it later." ”
"Why wait?" They are even more strange, they don't know what Li Xun is going to sell.
Li Xun didn't answer, he kept looking at Zhou Yan's backs, until the backs of the two disappeared, and then he spoke, "Do you know who he is?" ”
"Who is he?" Ashikaga Takamako asked.
"He's - Zhou Yan."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
"You say, he is Zhou Yan who had a concert in Tokyo two days ago?"
Li Xun nodded, "Well, it's him, he asked me to wait until they left." ”
Hojo had an impulse in his heart to run over and chase after Zhou Yan, but in the end he restrained himself, since Zhou Yan said so, it meant that he didn't want to be disturbed.
"So, were we guided by Zhou Yan just now?"
"No wonder his music theory is so strong."
"It seems that it was our performance of 'Treading the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms' that attracted him."
"It should be."
"Why didn't we think it was Zhou Yan just now?"
"Maybe it's because the lady next to him is dressed so strangely, so we didn't think about it at all."
"Could it be that the lady dressed so strangely because she didn't want to be recognized? Is he also a celebrity? ”
"So high, could it be Wang Zuxian?"
"It's possible, isn't Wang Zuxian also in Tokyo?"
"Don't guess, it's not good to spread it."
"Then what we met him today, can we tell someone?"
Li Xun thought for a while and said, "It should be no problem, he asked me to tell you." ”
"However, when we go to tell people that we have met Zhou Yan, I'm afraid that others won't believe it."
"Haha, it doesn't matter, it's a wonderful experience anyway, isn't it?"
"It would be even more wonderful if we could take a picture."
"I didn't expect his teaching ability to be so strong, better than many teachers in our school."
"Yes, it is said that geniuses are not good at teaching, and he doesn't seem to have this problem."
"If he comes to teach me, I'm definitely willing to learn."
"He teaches composition, not."
"But we also have to learn music theory."
"That's right, if he teaches, my music theory will definitely be better."
“……”
Hojo also came back to his senses at this moment, he clapped his palms, "Don't discuss it, let's quickly practice the passages adapted by Zhou Yan just now, you may have to forget it after a while." ”
"That's right, that's right, write it down."
"Then if we play in the future, do we want to write Zhou Yan's name in the author column?"
"Wouldn't it be too good, others will think that we deliberately want to rub off on his fame."
"But he helped change these paragraphs, isn't it disrespectful and illegal not to write it?"
“……”
"It's useless to think too much now, and we're not profitable."
They also felt that Hojo was right, and that they were just practicing on a regular basis. Therefore, they didn't think too much about it, and returned to their positions and began to practice the paragraphs that Zhou Yan had adapted for them just now.
After sitting down, Hojo suddenly thought of something, and he asked Li Xun, "Li Xunjun, do you know erhu?" ”
Li Xun smiled, "It will be a little bit." ”
"Can you help them play the erhu?"
"Okay, no problem."
Hojo doesn't care about the level of the erhu hand now, as long as there is an erhu here, he can reproduce what Zhou Yan just said.
But they never thought that the little thing in Li Xun's mouth was not the same thing as the little thing they thought.
Although not as good as the musicians who study erhu professionally, Li Xun's erhu is one level higher than everyone else in the room, and it may be two levels.
Later, Hojo Masashi and they no longer believed the slightest bit of what the Chinese said. As long as there are Chinese who say that they know a little, they all default to being very powerful.
……
After Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian left Ueno Park, they began to look for food nearby.
Although she was delayed by the river for more than an hour, Wang Zuxian was in a very good mood, and she especially liked to watch Zhou Yan give lectures to the students, which fascinated her as if she were performing on stage.
She grabbed Zhou Yan's arm, "Third brother, I haven't been to the classroom to see you in class." ”
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "If you want to go, the students will patronize and watch you, but they don't have the heart to go to class." ”
"Could it be that there is a little girl in your class who likes you, so you don't want me to go to see it." Wang Zuxian joked.
"There must be."
"Hmph, I knew there was, the schoolgirl just looked at you with straight eyes."
"Are you jealous?"
"No, my boyfriend is excellent, I'm happy."
Zhou Yan nodded, and said seriously, "Yes, classmate Xiaoxian, your ideological consciousness is very good, keep it, what are we going to eat?" ”
Wang Zuxian thought for a while and said, "Let's go eat tempura." ”
……
The next afternoon, when Zhou Yan was packing his luggage and preparing to go to Nagoya, Zhang Youan came to look for him.
"There have been some changes in the music licensing thing."
Zhou Yan pulled up the box and looked up at Zhang Youan, from Zhang Youan's face, he didn't see a sad face, it shouldn't be bad news.
"What's changed?" Zhou Yan asked.
"They're not satisfied with just getting your music license, they want to ask you to be their spokesperson." Zhang Youan said.
"Me? Spokesman? Zhou Yan was surprised.
"What are you surprised about, although you don't have many dramas, but the popularity of this face is still okay, they hope to pay 3 million Xiangjiang coins to get the authorization of "The Street Where the Wind Lives" and your endorsement."
Zhou Yan smiled, does this Shiseido have such a soft spot for the number three million, the opening is three million, and the three million doesn't make him uncomfortable?
However, this price is indeed very high, even if the licensing fee of the song is removed, there will be two hundred and dozens left, which is more than Shiseido's endorsement fee to Wang Zuxian.
Wang Zuxian's endorsement fee for Jiuniang sake was 3 million, but he signed a contract with Shiseido for 2 million the year before last.
And Wang Zuxian's endorsement of Jiu Niang's 3 million is already a record for foreign celebrities in neon endorsement fees, if Zhou Yan's 3 million are counted in the endorsement fee, it will also tie Wang Zuxian's record.
From this, it can be seen that Shiseido really attaches great importance to Zhou Yan.
"After taking this endorsement, I'm going to shoot an ad for them?"
"That's for sure, otherwise they can give you three million, and they are in a hurry, I heard that they want you to shoot with Wang Zuxian this time."
Zhou Yan muttered, "Then I have to take a look at their advertising plan." ”
Zhang Youan smiled, Zhou Yan was really different from others, in the face of three million endorsements, he actually wanted to see other people's advertising plans for the first time, listening to the meaning of this, if the advertising plan could not satisfy him, this endorsement would not be accepted.
Acting as an agent for Zhou Yan is really full of happy troubles.
In fact, Shiseido is not the first brand to find Zhou Yan's endorsement, there have been several brands on Neon's side before, but the price is not high, basically more than one million, and there is a big gap with Shiseido.
If it weren't for Shiseido's really a lot, Zhang Youan wouldn't have mentioned this matter to Zhou Yan, at this stage, Zhou Yan would still be less likely to accept endorsements, after all, Zhou Yan is not a film and television star, and he still has to rely on other channels for realization.
More than one million, that is, Zhou Yan opened a few concerts.
Although a few concerts are more tiring than shooting advertisements, they are stable, and if there is a problem with the brand, Zhou Yan himself will be affected.
Many film and television stars, when they are named, they are eager to accept endorsements and monetize, and it is easy to have problems later.
Of course, shooting advertisements is not without benefits, if the advertising is good and the brand is good, it will have a positive impact on Zhou Yan.
Especially like Shiseido this time, at the same time, he asked for the authorization of "The Street Where the Wind Lives", and by the way, he also gave Zhou Yan a promotional song, which can be regarded as a multi-task.
"Okay, I'll talk to Shiseido and ask them to show you the script for the advertisement. If the script is okay, I personally suggest that you take it, and it is not the first time you have played with Wang Zuxian, so it should still be more compatible. ”
Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, let's take a look at the script first." (End of chapter)
