Chapter 174 I'm More Confident
Shangjing, the large classroom of the Academy of Drama.
"Ding ding ding... ding ding..."
As the final burst of melody ended, Pedro raised his head, lifted his hands from the strings, and stood up.
"Thank you."
He bent down to express his thanks, and the whole performance was considered to be completely over, and the people in the audience applauded one after another.
Pedro was all smiles. Everything went well when he came to Beijing to give lectures. In the end, he played his own work "The Sad Danube" amidst the appeal of all the students.
The overall style of this piece is sad, but not so obvious, it looks sad but not sad, and the melody is beautiful, which can be regarded as his representative work.
"Jingle Bell……"
At this time, the bell rang, and the class was over.
After all the students had left, Pedro walked to the door of the classroom and saw the interpreter from the School of Drama waiting for him to come out.
Then there was a luncheon, which was held by the professor who invited him to give lectures, but Pedro had no intention of staying any longer.
"Sorry, please convey my apologies to Professor Wang, but I still have something to do, so I can't attend the banquet."
As soon as we met, he talked to the two school translators.
The two were taken aback, and after asking a few more questions, seeing Pedro's insistence, they had no choice but to leave.
"Lin, how are you getting ready? Can we go now?"
Pedro looked at the young man aside, it was his student Lin Mengxiang.
Lin Mengxiang nodded, "Yes, teacher, you can go to Beimeng now."
He was supposed to leave back to Europe a few days earlier, but he received a call from Pedro asking him to wait in Shangjing for a few days.
Then, he rushed over, just in time for Pedro's class to finish.
The reason why Pedro made him wait was because he wanted to go to Beimeng with him to find Lu Xin.
Lin Mengxiang was actually very surprised.
That "Dream Wedding" must be a good song, that's for sure. He also knew that Pedro was coming to Beijing, but he didn't expect that he would be so anxious.
As soon as the class is over, you have to hurry to get on the road.
You know, with Pedro's identity and fame, as long as he speaks, even a big figure in the music circle will come to see him immediately.
"Teacher, how about I find a friend to contact Lu Xin and let him come to Beijing."
After thinking about it, he still said.
"No, Lin, a composer who can write such a piece deserves my personal visit."
Pedro refused, then laughed, "Let's go, I can't wait."
However, just as they went downstairs, when they were about to get in the car, two more people came in front of them.
Lin Mengxiang frowned, "What can you do?"
Pedro asked in surprise, "Zheng, why are you here?"
He had seen one of them before, and had chatted with them for a long time, so he recognized him immediately.
Zheng Yuan smiled and said, "Professor Pedro, we met again. That's it. Your copyright agency for piano music has expired. I heard that you came to Shangjing, so I hurried over to meet you."
Zheng Yuan is the deputy manager of KK's music copyright department. He speaks good English and German. He is the one who talks about the copyright cooperation of many pianists.
He was also in charge of Pedro's copyright renewal last time, so Wang Tao sent him here again this time.
"Copyright? Oh, is the contract going to be renewed?"
Pedro smiled and said, "Zheng, wait for me for a few days, I will come back to Beijing, and we will sign again at that time."
He is in a hurry to go to Beimeng now, and he doesn't want to waste time at all.
When he goes back, he will definitely have to take a plane from Shanghai, so it's the same when we talk about it.
Before Zheng Yuan finished speaking, another person said: "Professor Pedro, we are TT Music, I hope you can listen to our quotation before you come back to renew your contract with KK."
As he spoke, he handed over his business card with both hands.
"TT music?"
Pedro took the business card in a daze, then looked at Zheng Yuan.
In fact, he doesn't know much about the music platform here, and he used to put it in KK.
But since someone is competing, it is obviously a good thing for him, he said with a smile: "Whether it is KK or TT, please wait for me for two days, please?"
"Zheng, and this friend, I'm really sorry, goodbye, I will contact you."
As he said that, he had already got into the car, and after Lin Mengxiang sat in the driver's seat, the car drove out in a short while.
Pedro asked: "Lin, when will there be another TT music here? How strong is it?"
"Teacher, TT Music is a new music platform created by Xinjin. The parent company is TT Group, which is very powerful."
Lin Mengxiang smiled and said, "Actually, I just wanted to say, didn't the teacher let me know about Lu Xin, I already understood it clearly."
After speaking, he told some things about Lu Xin, including some recent actions.
Pedro was a little dazed after hearing this, "You mean, besides writing songs, Lu Xin is also an elementary school teacher and the owner of another music platform?"
"Correct."
Lin Mengxiang nodded. In fact, if it was before, he might not have learned much.
But recently, it happened that Lu Xin became popular on Weibo, which actually gave him a chance.
"It's such an interesting person with so many identities, but this is good news. I think I'm more confident of buying the song."
Pedro said with a smile, since both KK and TT platforms want to represent the copyright of his piano music, there must be such a demand for this listening music.
Then he has a bargaining chip, and it is naturally easier to achieve his goal.
As for the copyright agency fee for the piano piece, it was actually not that much.
Although this time with TT competition, it may be higher, but compared with a classic piano piece, the money is not worth mentioning.
……
"How is it? Are you used to it here?"
Beimeng, Lu Xin's studio, Lu Xin asked with some paper in his hand.
Standing opposite were the five members of the Sparrow Band. Feng Jun smiled and said, "It's pretty good. Teacher Lu, tell me how to record."
On the first day they came to Northern Mongolia, they formally signed a contract with Lu Xin.
That's right, it's a singer's contract, and the agreement to release an album for the band within two years was also written into it.
The split ratio is 85 for the studio and [-] for them. For a band that is still equivalent to a rookie, this ratio is already very good.
Some record companies approached them before, and they were all ten points.
Today is the first time for the band to record accompaniment, Feng Jun is really curious about what Lu Xin will ask them to record.
"Okay, you can tell me if you are not used to it."
Lu Xin smiled and handed him the score in his hand.
Feng Jun took it over and saw that the score was obviously written by the same person, no doubt, it must be Lu Xin.
Both the score and the parts of each instrument are written in great detail. If you are not very familiar with all instruments, you will never be able to do it.
This skill alone is beyond comparison to ordinary people.
But when he saw the lyrics at the bottom, which might have been brought over by Lu Xin by accident, he was stunned.
"Is this... a nursery rhyme?"
He knew that Lu Xin had made a children's song nursery rhyme, but he didn't expect that the first thing to record was the nursery rhyme.
