While several people were reporting separately, Wang Jinghua and Park Huizhen also arrived quietly.
This kind of thing does not require any further instructions from Liu Qingshan, Shi Hui already knows how to tip off the information.
When it comes to matters related to the announcement and invitation of artists under their names, the agent is the main party in the negotiation, and Park Hye Jin is the external affairs coordinator of Xueyu Entertainment.
Liu Qingshan took this opportunity to get in touch with the Punk brothers.
The brothers are currently touring the world. After participating in two satellite TV's New Year's Eve parties, they are now well-known in the mainland, and they are quite famous as the spokespersons of electronic music DJs in the world.
Now they are in Pengcheng. They toured all the way from Shencheng, Jiangcheng, Yucheng, Rongcheng, and Dongguan, and then temporarily settled in Pengcheng.
Their value has also been soaring. Despite the low exchange rate of the Chinese dollar, they have an appearance fee that is three times that of the US dollar market.
However, this kind of purely commercial behavior on the track is just a way for them to come to China. The economic team of the two still values the cooperation with Liu Qingshan the most, because it can quickly increase the popularity of this group.
And they are not short of money, and even the conditions of their family are quite good. Otherwise, how would they have paid for the high cost of purchasing various high-end music equipment when they first became famous.
In fact, modern music relies on financial strength with the same technology, and is accumulated by purchasing all kinds of cutting-edge equipment.
Of course, what ultimately makes you stand out is your creative ability. The kind of electronic music practitioner who can make all kinds of arrangements come alive is only suitable for DJ hosting in nightclubs.
After receiving Liu Qingshan's call, both of them were very happy, and even sounded a little excited.
Being able to collaborate live with an internationally renowned symphony orchestra is only one of the reasons. Being able to get the right to perform the music composed by Liu Qingshan is the most important.
Accompanying them all the way were two people from the band Legend, arranger and keyboardist Al Sterner, and electrician Harris.
They had been friends with the two brothers for a long time, and the performances in nightclubs or music festivals they had passed along the way meant that they needed to be famous by playing the songs of Preserved Man. Of course, they also had to fulfill their friendship as landlords.
The date of the Forbidden City concert was set on the last day of January, which was still ten days away. Liu Qingshan couldn’t wait to notify it because he still had intensive rehearsal time with the band.
As soon as the call was hung up, the phone rang immediately. When I answered it, it turned out to be invitations for performances from two major departments.
The caller Liu Qingshan also knew was Fu Haomin. This guy was now a director-level cadre in the cultural system. In addition, he had worked in cultural exchanges with foreign countries. It was natural for him to get a position on such a large project.
"Shanzi, tell me the truth, did you complain that I didn't talk to you beforehand?"
"Haha, Brother Haomin is over-thought. If it were me, the group leader Bao's performance repertoire has not yet been finalized, I would just send him here to stand in the front line."
"As long as you understand! Why, I just heard that you still have a national symphony in your hand?"
"To be more precise, it is an erhu concerto with a symphony orchestra. It is called "The Unyielding Su Wu". It is based on the historical stories of the Western Han Dynasty in China and is composed of the Han nationality folk song "Su Wu Shepherding the Sheep" and the Qin song "Su Wu Thinks of the Lord" as musical materials. .”
"The erhu has its own unique temperament. When combined with historical figures, it should embody a powerful and unyielding momentum and excitement, right?"
"Hey, Brother Haomin, I didn't know you also know music?"
"This is what I do. How can I be competent if I don't improvise? But it's just scratching the surface!"
"The problem is that this piece is too big, with three movements in total, and the total time is about 23 minutes!"
"This is indeed a problem. It is possible that only one or two chapters will be played during the official performance. We will decide this later. We have to see the actual performance effect!"
"Brother Haomin, you don't have to cover up for me. I know that as a junior in folk music and symphony, my work still needs to be reviewed and approved by a group of experts. Even I am not confident myself, and I am mentally prepared to be eliminated from this performance. Don’t worry, I’m mentally prepared!”
"Haha, it's rare to hear such humble words from your mouth. I thought I was calling you to bargain!"
"What can we say? This concert is the face of the country. Those who can participate are musicians, artists and top players at all levels. I am just an amateur pop music person. At most, I am just a musician. It’s not normal to have a part-time job and feel unsure!”
"With your words, I am completely relieved. I was thinking about how to bring out the topic of the jury before!"
"You guys have found an erhu player and a supporting band over there, and I'll be there right away. Even the most urgent things have to be postponed!"
This piece of music was supposed to be the work of Master Peng Xiuwen, a famous Chinese composer and conductor who passed away long ago, but for some reason it appeared in Xiaoxing's database.
Liu Qingshan once searched on the Internet and found that this world-famous song that should have appeared in 1980 actually does not exist.
To be honest, his knowledge of this aspect is not very good. According to his limited knowledge, he would rather choose the more famous Butterfly Lovers.
Unexpectedly, that famous song has been known to the world for a long time. Otherwise, with his little understanding of folk music, how would he know this song.
It is difficult to say which one is better between the two, but there is no doubt that the historical story of the latter is more widely known.
Just as he was thinking about it, Fu Haomin spoke again: "I have found the musician. Liu Changlu, director of the National Ethnic Orchestra Society, is also a current professor of Chinese music and a famous folk music educator. As for conductor, the organizer recommended Peng Jiazhang. , although he is a young conductor, he is the chief conductor of the National Broadcasting Chinese Orchestra!"
Liu Qingshan didn't know any of the two people he proposed, but he still needed to show his proper attitude: "You don't need to tell me who to use, and besides, I don't understand anything about their profession!"
"It's your business whether you understand it or not, and it's my business whether you say it or not. This is called respect first and foremost, respect for a folk music creator!"
"Okay, no matter who it is, I will accept it unconditionally and actively cooperate!"
"Shan Zi, I also heard that you refused the performance payment?"
"Well, this matter is completely my personal behavior and has nothing to do with the entire industry! Because I have the title of cultural exchange ambassador, promoting folk music is my job and has no direct relationship with my identity as an artist. !”
"Okay, I understand that you are afraid of causing dissatisfaction and suspicion in the same industry. We will help you complete the reasons you mentioned with a more official statement and relieve some of your worries!"
"This is what you should do, how can you say you are helping me?"
"Look, before you have said more than three sentences, your businessman nature has been revealed again.
Will your requirements be mentioned below? "
"I have contributed for free, what's the matter with making a few requests? I will send people for the female vocal part and electronic music performance of the song "Victory", and for another Chinese ancient style song, you will help finalize the audio-visual theme before 2020. It’s a promotional song for a concert project, and I need to shoot the music video of this song in the Forbidden City, so you have to provide convenience!”
"First of all, it depends on the quality of the song, and whether the style of music is consistent with the entire project."
"I will customize it for this project. Are you questioning my creative ability in this area?"
"That won't happen. Since you said so, when the demo comes out, I will report it immediately and ask the expert group to review it! I can make the decision on "Victory"'s requirements, so you don't have to worry about this."
"What about the mv shooting problem?"
"You can just shoot, and I will be responsible for reimbursing you after the song is officially accepted! As for the shooting in the Forbidden City, do you still want to ask me for such a trivial matter? I know that you use the good things hidden in Sanrenlu to have a relationship with them We have worked closely together, and we are so familiar with Vice President Sun Qishang. Why don’t you go to the Forbidden City as if you were going to your own home?”
"These are two different things. I suggest you just get reimbursed afterwards, and it's best to hire a National Television crew for the filming, because no one in the country can be more professional than them when filming such important historical content!"
"It is not a big problem to find cooperation between the Forbidden City and National Television, but it is not a trivial matter to pay the cost of filming the music video in advance. As you know, there has never been a similar precedent of disbursing advance funds! You are not short of this little money. According to Isn’t what I just said very simple!”
"No, this is a matter of principle. You have all seen my various free contributions, but you must also let me feel your sincerity. This is a serious topic about whether I am truly taken seriously. There is no room for perfunctory me with a playful smile. !”
"You brat, how dare you arrange me like this! But you're right, we can't always make you pay alone. At least the copyright fees for two songs have saved us a lot of money, and we can't waste it on such a trivial matter. If you read it, it seems extremely disrespectful! Okay, I remember this, and if you have anything else to say, say it together!"
"Why did I say it? Didn't you call me?"
"Oh, I'm so angry. You kid is deliberately going against me today, right? All kinds of ridicule and dissatisfaction."
"This is the fact. I am full of enthusiasm, but in exchange for your various efforts to cope with the problem. The Forbidden City is like my own home. Help me express my attitude, reimburse afterwards, etc. Have you been perfunctory? Shouldn’t you be the first to think of all this?”
"Hey, it's true, you are different from other invitees. They have notification fees, but you are completely backing it, and you have been taking the initiative to make suggestions! Shanzi, my brother is here to solemnly apologize to you, Both my attitude and working methods lack comprehensive consideration and I am too self-righteous!"
Liu Qingshan smiled and waved his hand, seeming to have forgotten that he couldn't see over there, "Brother Haomin, public affairs must be handled with a public mentality. It's easy for us brothers to talk about anything, but we can't let it go because of our personal relationship. The whole thing is putting the cart before the horse!”
"Brother, you are right. I will buy you a drink to make amends another day, and I will toast you with your sister-in-law to formally apologize!"
"Come on, you know how to bring my sister-in-law out to calm me down. Besides, with your little drinking capacity, you can slip under the table after drinking three drinks in a row!"
