Wang Mo far underestimated the international status of a piano master.

Generally speaking, only those who have both the status of composer and performer are likely to reach the position of piano master. And the ordinary performer, even if the playing technique has reached the subversion, cannot become a master.

What is a Piano Master?

First and foremost, he must be a widely recognized musician with his playing skills and musical understanding at the top of his peers.

Secondly, he is an artist who can express deep thoughts and emotions through his work.

Thirdly, the pianist is also an educator who is committed to the promotion and promotion of music.

Fourth, he is a cultural ambassador who uses his works to promote and promote his country and increase international exchanges.

Because of this, a pianist's international status can be imagined.

Everywhere he goes, there is basically a top-notch official reception. To a certain extent, such characters have gone beyond the realm of entertainment and reached the realm of politics.

For example, Aida has become the spiritual pillar of Fuso music, and his position in the hearts of more than 100 million people in Fuso is extremely worshipped.

Wang Mo can not be called a real piano master now, but everyone at the scene knows in their hearts that it is only a matter of time before a genius who can create a piano piece like "Remembrance of Love" becomes a piano master.

Even at Wang Mo's young age, his future achievements will be even higher.

Therefore, after hearing Wang Mo's words, everyone felt incredible.

Kenneth said almost without hesitation: "Mr. Wang, don't worry! It's a little bit of a small thing, and after tonight's banquet, I'm going to be within my power to make the best possible arrangement for Kung Fu. ”

Speaking of which.

He looked at the few people next to him and smiled: "John, Andrew, Billy, you are all in charge of the theater, I want to give Mr. Wang's movie some scheduling, it's not a big problem, right?" ”

The three people Kenneth said are also international cinema giants.

Things gather like and people are grouped.

The characters who can attend the family banquet with Kenneth must not be simple.

Hear his words.

A bearded man stood up and laughed: "Of course it's no problem, it's just a matter of raising your hands." ”

Another middle-aged man with golden eyes also smiled: "It's a trivial matter, since Mr. Wang has spoken, we will definitely do it." ”

Wang Mo shook his head and looked at everyone fixedly: "Thank you first, but please don't rush to agree, because what I want is not a little film schedule, but I hope that "Kung Fu" can be released on a large scale in North America." ”

Oh?

When everyone heard this, they were slightly surprised.

Large-scale release?

"This?"

"Isn't it?"

"Mr. Wang, are you serious?"

They originally thought that if they could increase the schedule of "Kung Fu" by five or six times in the current scale, they would be completely satisfied with Wang Mo. As world-class theater kings, they all know in their hearts that Huaxia's films are not very popular internationally, and even if they give too many films, it is a waste of resources.

And being able to increase the schedule of "Kung Fu" several times has almost reached the limit of this movie.

The loss suffered by the cinema chain will also be not small.

Of course, this loss is nothing compared to befriending Wang Mo, and everyone is happy.

But...... If "Kung Fu" is to be released on a large scale internationally, it is a bit too unrealistic and meaningless.

Kenneth was a little embarrassed and was about to speak.

Wang Mo smiled and said, "Mr. Kenneth, Mr. John...... Rest assured, I won't embarrass you. I mean, let's watch the movie first, and schedule the movie as much as you want, according to your feelings. If the attendance rate is good, the film scheduling rate will be increased in the future. If the attendance rate is poor, then it doesn't matter if the movie is withdrawn. ”

Many times, what Huaxia films lack in the international community is just an opportunity for exposure.

In the European and American film markets, the deep-rooted idea in the hearts of these theater kings is that Chinese films are not suitable for the international environment, but that is because Chinese films have no chance to be released internationally.

You don't give me a chance to release it, how do you know it's not suitable?

For example, in the previous life, "The Wandering Earth" only grossed a few million dollars internationally.

Judging from the box office, do you think this movie has hit the streets in the world?

Contrary!

When it was released on a small scale in North America at the time, the attendance rate almost reached 60%-80%. This is an extremely horrible attendance.

But it is useless to have a high attendance, because European and American theaters will not give it a higher schedule at all, so that it can only be released in a small area, and then it will be launched on the international screen.

And now, Wang Mo is fighting for a large-scale release opportunity for "Kung Fu".

There was an opportunity.

to create miracles.

And Kenneth and the others were all relieved when they heard Wang Mo's words.

What they are most worried about is that Wang Mo insists on giving "Kung Fu" a higher schedule, which will put them in a dilemma. And now, according to Wang Mo's words, things are much easier.

Kenneth spoke first: "Mr. Wang! Say! It's all good to say! I am here to assure you that as long as "Kung Fu" is really suitable for international release, then I will definitely give enough film scheduling, even if I think it is not suitable for the international environment, I will not go back on my previous words, I will still give it the highest exposure within the scope of power. ”

John: "It's the same on my side. ”

Several other theater directors all nodded.

Beside.

Yuan Xiong was stunned.

Today he was in no worse mood than Edgar, and he was beating wildly almost all the time.

At this moment, seeing that several world-class theater kings had all made promises to Wang Mo, he had an illusion like a dream, and secretly cursed in his heart: "Made, it turns out that the status of pianists is so high in the world." Knowing this, labor and management should have allowed Amer to develop internationally a long time ago. ”

At the same time, his heart began to heat up.

If "Kung Fu" can really get the opportunity to be released on a large scale around the world, it will definitely have epoch-making significance for the Chinese film market!

I'm looking forward to it.

Wang Mo saw the promise of Kenneth and the others, he smiled and said: "Then thank you in advance, after this matter, I hope you can go to Huaxia to play, and at that time, I will personally do the east and play a song for you." ”

When Kenneth and the others heard this, they all showed joy.

Being able to see a pianist like Wang Mo playing for them is more than anything for them as music lovers.

So this time, it's both sides that take what they need.

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, the dinner ended.

Wang Mo had already sent someone to send the film of "Kung Fu".

Kenneth's vacation villa has a private theater, so everyone took the opportunity to see what the "Kung Fu" movie was like.

Soon, everyone sat down and started watching the movie.

The dialogue of the film is not changed to English, but is still in Chinese, but with an English translation.

Wang Mo always felt that if a group of Chinese people acted in a movie, if they went to speak English, there was a kind of indescribable awkwardness. It's like when he goes to watch a North American movie, if he sees the Chinese version, he feels like he has stuffed in his mouth, and it's uncomfortable to watch.

So he also maintained the original flavor of "Kung Fu".

Soon.

The movie begins.

At the beginning, everyone was very quiet, even Chai Qing's sentence "Who else" caused the audience to burst into laughter in Huaxia did not move Kenneth and others.

It seems that there is a big difference between Eastern and Western humor.

However, some nonsensical comedies in the next movie still made many people laugh, such as: The clip of Ah Xing challenging a group of people in the pig cage village, and the place where he was bitten by a snake, all caused many people to smile.

But it's not enough.

Wang Mo has been paying attention to everyone's expressions.

This little humor is definitely not enough to impress these theater bosses.

Fortunately, what happened next made his hanging heart fall to the ground.

Kung Fu is coming: the appearance of the three great masters, the appearance of the broken heaven and the earth, the appearance of the chartered public and the chartered wife, and the appearance of the fire cloud evil god...... One wave overshadowed another, and the kung fu that was stronger than one time caused everyone to marvel again and again.

"God!"

"Oh! Buy cakes! ”

“……”

By the time the movie ended, these people's expressions were completely moved.

Wang Mo nodded secretly: Sure enough, it is still an exaggerated kung fu movie, which can resonate with Europeans and Americans.

After the lights in the small theater came on, Wang Mo looked at Kenneth and smiled, "Mr. Kenneth, what do you think?" ”

"Incredible."

Kenneth shook his head, his face full of exclamation: "It turns out that Huaxia movies have developed to this extent?" I'm sorry, but I didn't know much about Huaxia before, and I feel that this movie has subverted my previous cognition. "Kung Fu" is great, the special effects are great, the actors' acting skills are great, and there is that strange humor, a bit of Western humor, I think they should be very much in line with the taste of Western movie fans. Of course, this is not the most critical, the best is the kung fu shown in the movie. Oh! Oh, God! This is the most handsome kung fu movie I've ever seen! I even wanted my mother-in-law to learn the lion's roar technique, and I think she has a lot of talent in this area. ”

John raised an eyebrow, "Kenneth, do you need me to bring your words to Lisa?" ”

Kenneth was thrilled: "God! Or don't! ”

The crowd laughed.

Then it was time for the formal talks.

Although it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Wang Mo's biological clock had not yet been adjusted, so he was still alive.

As for these theater kings, they are basically used to nightlife, so they are also in good spirits.

Kenneth was the first to speak: "The movie is great, in my opinion at least above the level. And although the oriental characteristics are very strong, it is the favorite 'Chinese Kongfu' in the West, so I think I can try to show it on a small scale in North America for a few days, of course, the movie will not only cover the Chinese area, but will cover many real Western movie fan areas, if the effect is good, Mr. Wang ......"

He looked at Wang Mo.

Seriously: "I can give it no less than 10% of the schedule in AMC theaters around the world. Of course, 10% is not its upper limit, as long as it's "

10%！

Although this film schedule cannot be compared with many big movies, it is enough to make Wang Mo overjoyed, because more than 10% of the film schedule is enough to make "Kung Fu" enter the eyes of fans around the world.

"Good!"

Wang Mo immediately agreed.

Then, John, Andrew, Billy and others all made similar promises.

Wang Mo let out a long breath in his heart.

That's it.

This trip to North America, he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

And making friends with these theater kings, for Wang Mo, the benefits are far more than that. This means that after he makes a movie in the future, he will be able to negotiate directly with these people, saving too much cumbersomeness.

Don't think that only Huaxia is about human feelings.

The world is also a big cage of human affection.

1 a.m. North American time.

The two sides finally preliminarily agreed on the plan for the follow-up "Kung Fu" cooperation: just start to schedule about 3% of the films to see the attendance. If the attendance rate is required, the film schedule will be expanded. As for the box office share, Kenneth originally said that he would give Wang Mo some preferential treatment in this regard, but Wang Mo refused, saying that everything should be done according to the rules of the market.

What he wants is not that box office share, but the opportunity for "Kung Fu" to be in international theaters.

On the occasion of departure.

Jiro Miyata took a deep breath and finally greeted him: "Mr. Speechless." ”

Wang Mo didn't have any good feelings for Fusang, but he was still quite satisfied with Jiro Miyata's attitude, after all, if it weren't for him today, it would be difficult for him to get the attention of Kenneth and others.

He glanced at the other party: "Mr. Miyata has something to look for me?" ”

Jiro Miyata: "Mr. Speechless, I told Mr. Aida, my tutor, about meeting you today, and I would like to invite you to Fuso Country for a reunion, and he also likes the two piano pieces you composed, and I would like to talk to you about music and jointly push the oriental piano career to a new peak." ”

Wang Mo thought for a while and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Aida, but I don't have time to go to Fuso for the time being." But when I have time in the future, I will definitely visit Mr. Aida. ”

He didn't say this to shirk.

Wang Mo has a plan: he will indeed go to Fusang in the future.

And the country of sticks.

Well...... In order to conquer the maidens there...... Ahem, no.

Mistaken.

Do it all over again.

In order to conquer the arrogant young people there, especially the country where the whole universe is their stick, Wang Mo must go.

Jiro Miyata said happily: "Okay, if you decide to go to Fuso, sir, you must inform me in advance." I will receive you with the highest standard of etiquette in our country. ”

Wang Mo: "Okay. ”

Jiro Miyata: "There is another thing I want to ask: Mr. Speechless, you should have come to North America this time for the 'International Music Palace Night', right?" ”

"Huh?"

Wang Mo was stunned.

Miyata Jiro didn't notice Wang Mo's strange expression, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that this 'International Music Palace Night' actually alarmed you, sir." If I had known you were coming, my teacher wouldn't have let me come in his place. After my teacher got the news in the afternoon, he was already thinking about whether to come to North America himself. ”

"Huh?"

Wang Mo became more and more confused when he listened.

He looked at Yuan Xiong, who also looked confused.

He looked at Hao Mingxing again, and Hao Mingxing spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.

Kenneth next to him smiled and said, "I have to thank you for holding this International Music Hall Night in New York, otherwise I guess I wouldn't have asked you to move Mr. Jiro Miyata." ”

Jiro Miyata shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, I am the person who should be most grateful for the night of the International Music Palace, and I should also thank you, Mr. Kenneth." If it weren't for you, I don't think I would have been able to meet Mr. Speechless here. ”

"Ahem......"

Wang Mo couldn't help it.

He looked at Jiro Miyata: "That...... Sorry, but can you tell me what the International Music Festival Night is? ”

Jiro Miyata: "......"

Kenneth: "......"

Everyone: "......"

Everyone swallowed.

Full of absurdity.

After half a ring, Jiro Miyata asked tentatively, "Mr. Speechless, ...... you Didn't receive an invitation? ”

Wang Mo shook his head: "No." ”

Jiro Miyata was confused: "Impossible, how could you not have received an invitation?" Even I have an invitation. ”

As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized invitation from his pocket and handed it to Wang Mo.

Wang Mo took a look and found that the cover of the invitation letter was extremely exquisite, and the content of the picture was a musical symbol with a sense of design, and a line of English was written on it: Invitation to the Night of the International Music Palace.

Open it and take a look.

It reads as follows:

[Dear Mr. Jiro Miyata, I sincerely invite you to participate in the 'International Music Palace Night' held on Broadway in New York on January 15th, and participate in this exchange of music masters on behalf of Fuso. 】

After Wang Mo read it, he returned the invitation to Jiro Miyata, and then asked, "Mr. Miyata, can you elaborate on it?" ”

Miyata Jiro saw that Wang Mo's expression was not fake, but he really didn't know, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart and explained seriously: "The International Music Palace Night is held once every four years, and the frequency of events such as the World Cup and the Olympic Games is the same. As for its influence in the music industry, it can be said that it is on par with the World Cup, and it is a pinnacle event for all musicians.

The festival lasts for about ten days, and each time it takes place in the evening, so it's called the Night of the Temple.

It will invite the most famous musicians from dozens of countries around the world to participate in the festival, and then perform and compete in different countries and regions.

There is a competition of composers.

There is a piano exchange.

There are violin competitions.

There is even a large symphony orchestra playing.

While we often say that music knows no borders, musicians have borders. Therefore, in order to win the honor of their country, every time the 'International Music Hall Night' is held, everyone will do their best to dedicate their best music and skills to strive for the best results. ”

Wang Mo understood a little.

He asked, "What countries and regions are involved?" ”

Jiro Miyata: "I don't know about this session for the time being, but there were more than 20 countries and regions in the last session. Including Fuso, Bangzi, North America, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Danmai, Australia...... And so on, the famous country of music is all here. ”

Wang Mo: "Is there Huaxia?" ”

Jiro Miyata nodded: "Yes, but it seems to be very inconspicuous, and there seem to be very few people here." After all, this music conference basically performs piano, violin, cello, and even symphony performances, which have always been the weak point of Huaxia in terms of music...... I'm sorry, Mr. Speechless, I mean before, but now that Huaxia has you, the situation is definitely different. ”

Wang Mo knew that what Jiro Miyata said was the truth.

He was silent for a moment and continued to ask, "Then this time, are there any well-known people coming?" ”

Jiro Miyata said: "Because the older generation has participated in too many festivals, in recent years, music masters have rarely come. For example, my teacher hasn't participated in more than 10 years, and every time I take his place. As for the other piano masters, they also sent their most proud students to preside over the overall situation.

As a result, in fact, this music conference has not been attended by piano masters for several years, but it is still the world's pinnacle music festival, unparalleled. ”

Wang Mo listened.

"I think that the official invitation to Huaxia to participate in this International Music Palace Night must have been invited, but you were not notified, or the people in Huaxia forgot to inform you."

Jiro Miyata explained.

Wang Mo nodded.

He guessed it was the same.

If the international party wants to invite Huaxia, it must be to contact Zhao Shu and others.

And he had made it clear before that he was not interested in any international music competitions or any piano performances, and asked Zhao Shu not to disturb him, so it was probably for this reason that Zhao Shu did not contact him.

But now seeing that a piano master has such a high status in the world, Wang Mo has changed his mind a little.

He pondered for a moment and said to Kenneth and the others, "Everyone, I'll leave first. ”

Everyone said goodbye.

When you go out.

Jiro Miyata suddenly said: "That...... Mr. Speechless, do you still attend the International Music Hall Night? ”

Wang Mo turned his head and his eyes were blazing: "Participate!" ”

After Jiro Miyata's explanation, Wang Mo already knew that this "International Music Palace Night" was definitely the most high-end music bureau in the world.

Such a grand event.

Of course he was going to participate.

How could you miss it?

Hearing Wang Mo's firm answer, Jiro Miyata was full of excitement and took a deep breath.

Half an hour later.

On the way back to the hotel, Jiro Miyata made a phone call: "Teacher, I have confirmed that Mr. Wordless will participate in this music conference." ”

On the phone, the voice of Elder Aida came: "It seems that I can only go once, you ...... It's not his opponent. The country of music in Fuso cannot be buried in your hands. ”

Jiro Miyata: "I'm sorry, teacher. ”

Aida sighed: "No need to say I'm sorry, you are good enough, but who would have thought that Huaxia could produce such a demonic musical talent?" Anyway, let me meet this young man for a while. It just so happened that I recently wrote a new tune. ”

……

Distant Western Europe.

In a manor, an old man with gray hair was watering flowers in his garden.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

The old man listened to it and frowned: "Aita wants to participate in this International Music Palace Night?" He is not ashamed, what honor is he going to compete with young people? Well...... What did you say? Is it that a young piano master is suspected of appearing in Huaxia? Aida was worried that his student Jiro Miyata would not be able to preside over the overall situation? In that case......

After half ringing.

The old man said in a deep voice: "Iman, it seems that I have to go too." ”

……

Northern Europe.

In the same scene, a man with an extraordinary temperament received a phone call.

After listening quietly, he said, "Send those two piano pieces." ”

Half an hour passed.

After listening to "The Sea of Clouds in the Moonlight" and "The Remembrance of Love", the man sighed deeply: "Help me prepare my travel plans and go to North America tomorrow." ”

No, no.

……

Australia.

Eastern Europe.

Southern Asia.

"Looks like I'm going to have to go too."

"Tell the butler to book a ticket."

"So many old guys are gone? I certainly can't be absent. ”

"In that case, I'm going to join in the fun."

"Hahaha, okay! Let's go together! ”

“……”

In many countries and regions, many people have hastily canceled their vacations or leisure days and rushed to North America.

At this moment, Wang Mo didn't expect that because his accidental trip to North America changed the plans of a group of people, and at the same time attracted a group of top figures in the music industry. (End of chapter)
