Chapter 480 The way you give money with tears in your eyes is so handsome. (Please subscribe ~ monthly pass!)
Ask, what is the biggest advantage of piano music in communication.

Very simple.

It's pure music, no words.

Laughing to death, it doesn't involve any position or thought at all.

I can explain it however I wish.

Don't care what the original lyrics are, don't ask anyway, it doesn't mean anything, it's just homesick.

This made Li Shaojie's rehearsal quite easy without any mistakes.

Even some leaders at the top of the lighthouse, after seeing Li Shaojie's casual warm-up practice playing, were astonished and highly praised.

"I always thought he was exaggerated by marketing."

An office secretary couldn't help but start admiring.

"But I really didn't expect that he is more shocking than I imagined. The title of the greatest living artist in the world today is really worthy of the name."

Although there are no worthless people under the prestigious name.

But there is another sentence, it is hard to live up to the reputation.

If some things are exaggerated, others may think that they are worthy of the name, but some exaggerations are too outrageous, which will give people a feeling of unreality. Once there is a sense of falsehood, the negative effects brought about by the exaggerated part will be magnified .

For example, if someone praises him for 6 when he clearly has 7, you will feel that it is very real, and you will mark 7 with your eyes when you look at it, and you will feel that he is indeed 7, um, there is no one without a reputation.

And some people are obviously 6, boasting to 8, or even 9 is 10, at this time you will have doubts, but at this time, he is over-marketing, promoted to the altar, and boasting to 12, you immediately feel fake and empty.

Then, when you look at his eyes again, maybe there is not even a 6, and even in your opinion, it is 2 or 3.

But in fact he is still 6.

The feeling that Li Shaojie brought to some people in the White House was more or less a false marketing.

Because, the current evaluation of Li Shaojie is almost 11.

The full score is 10, and most of the other living musicians are 8 or 9, and there are few 10s.

Naturally it will feel fake.

However, when they saw Li Shaojie playing the piano in person, and felt the influence of Li Shaojie's live performance through the sight and hearing of the scene, the staff in the White House suddenly felt that...
He's fucking at least 12, maybe more than that.

When a virtuoso is contagious enough, even if the piece he plays is unfamiliar to you, even if the piece he plays is not based on "sounding" as the standard of work, and even if there are few memorized points, you may forget it in the next moment.

But the moment you hear and see, the shock that hits the soul will still make you remember this experience.

From the musician's point of view, this is very scientific, it is well-founded and traceable, and it is able to gain insight into the essence of this influence and appeal.

But in the eyes of ordinary people whose understanding of music is limited to appreciation and listening
This TM is somewhat metaphysical.

Very incredible.

"This must be magic from the East"

"Hey! Charlie, wake up, there's no magic in the East."

Not far away, a man in a suit with an exclamation on his face was standing with a man in a suit with a more serious expression.

"...I know, what you said, it seems that there is magic in the West"

"In theory, there is magic in the West, but until now, we call it chemistry."

The serious man in the suit pushed up his glasses.

"Charlie, you know what, a medieval witch."

I have no idea!

I just sigh!
you shut up!
Charlie rolled his eyes and covered his colleague's mouth.

Continue to listen to Li Shaojie warming up and playing the piano.

Finally, an expression of enjoyment appeared on Charlie's face again.

Sounds great!

It sounds so good! !
But do not understand.

What is the name of this song?
"My Homeland"?
God, Jay really is a soul.

Is this bilateral diplomatic mission inappropriate? !
Oriental music is really wonderful.
In fact, it's not that Charlie prefers CN, let alone that he prefers oriental music.

Rather, Eastern music, or in other words, Chinese music, itself is very suitable for people's sense of hearing.

Traditional oriental music itself is very concerned about the harmonious pentatonic scale, and pays special attention to the writing of melody.

However, this writing method of CN traditional music will be particularly memorable in the sense of hearing, and the performance of the melody line is very clear and listenable, which is in line with people's harmonious listening direction for the rhythm.

For example, in a standard five-note or seven-note melody, if sharps and flats appear suddenly, you will feel very surprised.

Or, in a section of folk scales, different key modes, such as C key and D key, some out-of-key sounds appear, which will surprise people who often listen to songs.

This kind of accident can cause surprise, of course, it can also be pure accident.

Maybe it feels very mystical.

But in fact, this is because human beings will make a kind of "prediction" when you play the melody based on their subconscious cognition of the melody.

You may not be able to express that feeling, but your brain knows when you are unconscious that the next direction will probably be within a range.

Out-of-tune, ascending and descending sounds, or modulation, out-of-tune, and transposition.

will be keenly perceived.

And then produce a special "dissonance".

Such a sense of dissonance can increase the color of the melody, and of course it can also cause a huge rollover accident. It can make people feel pleasant, and it can also feel particularly uncomfortable.

It's like the first movement of Li Shaojie's sonata, which was full of dissonant sounds.

So it's going to sound a little creepy and dark, for a high-end crime scene.

But if you look at the traditional Chinese composition techniques and melody writing lines, there are no accidents, no disharmony, and it is easy to do.

It's like Sichuan red oil with so many ingredients, and leather shoes are delicious.

As far as the natural and harmonious arrangement of traditional Chinese scales is concerned, it will be difficult or unpleasant to change.

Especially "My Motherland".

Born in the flames of war, this song is engraved deep in the DNA of Chinese people.

It is a song full of Chinese culture and Chinese color.

In the original sheet music of C major, there is not a single sharp or sharp, and even fa and xi are rare.

It can be said that it is 12356 of the pentatonic scale.

It's hard to be discordant.

"Jay, I'm looking forward to the day you officially perform!"

After finishing today's trip, before leaving, Charlie, the person in charge of the project of the White House, also shook Li Shaojie's hand politely.

"It's a pity, I didn't have time to go to your concert before. If I still have the chance, I will come even if I ask for leave."

Seeing Charlie's sincere expression, Li Shaojie smiled kindly.

"Haha, thank you, you are exaggerating."

"No no! This is not an exaggeration!"

Although it looks very official, what is said is more or less for understanding.

But Charlie knew that he meant it.

In the past, Charlie's impression of Li Shaojie was average.

Don't hate it, but don't like it much either.

Charlie had no intention of going to the personal show that lasted four times a day.

Although usually go to some concerts, music festivals, or concerts.

But if you want to say that you love it, it’s not enough.

But today, after Li Shaojie showed such a trick, for the first time, Charlie began to regret why he didn't buy a ticket to watch the show.

With Charlie's connections and energy, it's not difficult to get a ticket.

It's a pity I didn't go.

These official words are really from the heart.

Li Shaojie left the white house, returned to his residence, and continued to practice the piano.

I have to say that Steinway is still very powerful.

Even if my residence is not fixed at the beginning, the piano is always arranged by someone.

After all, he is TM recognized by many as the greatest pianist in existence in the world.

Qin is something that some people want to arrange.

Like Yamaha.

It's a pity that Jie Ge cooperated with Steinway early on.

Yamaha could only swallow bitter tears with envy and hatred.

In the beginning, Yamaha actually had the opportunity to sign Li Shaojie.

It's just that Steinway offered better conditions at that time.

After all, rich and powerful.

To be honest, it’s not that Yamaha is stingy, but it’s just that it can’t compete. The conditions that Steinway offered Li Shaojie at that time were all premium prices.

As a result, it turned out that Jackie took off, and Steinway must have taken off again.

This advertisement has gone to the White House! !

How can it not be sour?
To be honest, Steinway is also ecstatic now.

But the worry that comes with it is that
Jie Ge's contract is almost up to the renewal period.

Look at this worth again.

It has to rise sharply again.

Steinway knew that there were a lot of piano dealers waiting to stare at Li Shaojie.

If you can sign Li Shaojie, the benefits you will get are even incalculable.

Because, in terms of Li Shaojie's professional attitude, strength, and influence, the peak period of his influence can last for 200 years after his death.

Not even 200 years!
After all, even now, Li Shaojie is enough to leave a name in the history of music. Even if Zhong Yong is hurt again, his name is still a name, and his current achievements will completely appear in future textbooks.

The benefits this has brought to a piano manufacturer are incalculable.

The reason why Steinway is Steinway is precisely because it spent a lot of money to raise a group of classical masters.

Even after the death of these classical masters, they are still important pillars supporting Steinway.

"So many NB pianists use our piano, you understand, you understand carefully."

This is the consensus of almost all piano dealers.

Therefore, Yamaha is not the only piano dealer who is staring at Li Shaojie now.

It was inevitable that Steinway was worried.

Perlov, Fazilio, Bechstein, Bösendorfer, Ariane, August Foster.
Almost the top piano dealers in the world are all staring at Li Shaojie.

Don't think that Li Shaojie has endorsed Steinway for a while, but as long as I sign him and keep his endorsement at any cost, people in the future will remember our piano.

Your Steinway is at best an ex, and I am the official match! !
At this time, Li Shaojie was studying to talk to Steinway Piano about future cooperation.

Ok.

Just asking for money.

After all, he is about to play for the diplomatic state banquet in the White House, and his social status will inevitably rise.

It belongs to "grabbing money" with confidence and aboveboard.

In other words, Jie Ge is more moral.

For others, the conditions will only be higher.

this day.

I made an appointment with Belev, the CEO of Steinway Piano at the lighthouse.

The executive president directly brought the head of the brand department to the door.

Although he didn't know why Jie Ge came to him, the CEO felt that this was the best opportunity to extend the contract.

The two groups met in the living room of the hotel.

"Hello, Jay!"

"Hello, President Belev."

The two shook hands.

The head of the brand department next to Belyev introduced himself and stopped talking. Like a little wife, he obediently accompanied and listened.

She is very similar to Lu Qiuer on the opposite side, except that Lu Qiuer is a real little wife.

"Actually, I did it for"

Li Shaojie began to describe his plan.

It is nothing more than more exposure in the future, more appearances, as much as possible in the form of open-air performances, street pianos, flash mobs, etc., to contact the widest range of people.

At the same time, Internet-style operations and interactions are carried out in conjunction with network promotion, short and long videos, and major media distribution channels.

Steinway is asked to provide pianos, provide sponsorship, provide .
MD endorsement fee.

Belyev choked directly.

I, CNMD, let you catch up with all the good things you did, we are the ones who paid for it, right?
Agree to agree, and even can't wait to send money to maintain the endorsement contract.

But seriously.

Beljev still feels a little sad, a little bit like he's been bullied.

MD, you can take money out of my pocket, but you can't make me look like an asshole! !
"Jay, you know, our piano business doesn't need general advertising."

Belev couldn't help but complain.

The habit of a businessman makes him habitually look for some favorable angles in negotiations.

An advertisement for a piano, indeed, does not need generalization.

It needs to be more high-end and professional, and the main focus must be in the circle.

It affects the masters in the circle, which in turn affects the pursuit of practitioners, and then enters the grassroots through these practitioners.

For example, if your child wants to learn piano, you must not know which brand of piano is good.

Naturally, I will search the Internet + ask the teacher.

At this time, the teacher's recommendation, combined with some news on the Internet, parents will naturally have a tendency to choose.

There is no need to generalize to the fact that those who do not buy pianos also know the name of Steinway pianos, which is a bit of a waste of resource costs.

"It is true that pianos do not need generalized advertising, but piano manufacturers"

"It is also necessary to increase the competitiveness of the brand through generalized publicity to affect the brand's popularity and authority."

Li Shaojie spread his hands.

Every single word that he said hurts his heart.

"And, I'm going to play at the White House soon."

"Well, because the leaders of our CN came to visit the lighthouse, the White House invited me to play for the state dinner."

The implication is, "You think about it yourself, the master will take off immediately, and the price will not be the same if we talk about it at that time!"

Belyev groaned in his heart, raised his head, and saw Li Shaojie's half-smile expression.

TMD, your little ancestor has said so, can we still refuse? !
"No problem, you can! We can even give you more help."

Belev's gesture of giving money with tears made Li Shaojie feel very handsome, and also very cute.

"But we need you to be more inclined to our Steinway when choosing an endorsement after the contract ends"

　I didn't choose Shen Wenyu's version (that's Zhang Chao's version), because this one is more romantic, very free and uninhibited, and very skillful in texture and harmony.

　　As a performance, Sword Immortal may be a bit old-fashioned personally, and I think it is more suitable for performing in China.

　　In your own home, chic is more important.

　　In such an occasion abroad, you still need to be calm.

　　That is to say, abandon the part of showing off skills, and focus on expressing the melody of the music itself.

　　For immature opinions, the boss lightly sprays.

　　And the piano version is played very little, so in terms of sound effects and strength comparison, there are no outstanding ones, which is really a bit uncomfortable.

　　However, it will definitely not affect watching and listening. After all, this song is good no matter how it is played.
