Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 478 Yuto Nakai's Concert!

a few days later.

Liu Yuan's version of "Jasmine" was freshly released, and before it was warmed up, he couldn't wait to contact the domestic studio to prepare to release this new song.

Unlike those ordinary singers, who are anxious to release a new work to gain fame and popularity, Liu Yuan wants to let the sons and daughters of Huaxia in China hear this song as soon as possible.

The production of this version is actually very simple, with piano and strings and some dulcimer embellishments.

Except for the piano, everything else is produced by MIDI simulation, and Li Zhifan handles everything by himself.

Accompanied by Liu Yuan's sometimes gentle and jade-like singing, and sometimes majestic singing, the whole song has layers of styles before and after, with twists and turns, fully showing the skills and demeanor of everyone who sings.

Once released, it is heated and fermented at a breakneck pace.

Liu Yuan returned to China immediately, and Li Zhifan and Song Song were given the job of producing an album for Lilith.

In the past, Lilith would definitely not collaborate on her album with anyone other than Liu Yuan, not even Song Song.

But now Li Zhifan has become the second Chinese producer after Liu Yuan who reassures Lilith, and his work location has also moved from Liu Yuan's home to a recording studio in the town.

Dealing with foreigners is not what Li Zhifan is good at. Even the assistants he brings are in charge of daily communication. Song Song and Lilith are much more relaxed, and communication on both sides is not a problem.

Besides, the composition work has been completed, and only the recording is left. In fact, Song Song is enough, and Li Zhifan is very comfortable.

I only work six hours a day, and the three meals a day add up to more than two hundred dollars. If this is placed in China, the production cost should be at least over [-] million.

After work, Li Zhifan and Song Song found a bar alone to have a drink together.

Song Song likes to drink very much, but because of drunk driving, his driver's license was revoked both in the United States and China. In China, he could not take the driver's license test for five years, but in the United States, he was banned from driving for life.

Because of this matter, his wife was very strict with him, so he could only drink some secretly outside, and when he returned home, he ignored the two beer cans.

"Foreigners earn so much money!"

Li Zhifan looked at the phone and said with a bright smile.

Lilith paid him a salary alone. In order to take care of him, she specially arranged for Lilith's brokerage company in Huaxia to transfer it directly to Li Zhifan's Huaxia account. It is settled every Monday. This is the third time that Lilith has settled the salary.

"Come on!" Song Song smiled wryly, "It's because you met Lilith, and she worked hard to settle the bills for you. You must know that many Yankees are really bad, especially those Hollywood film companies. Play music for them, the price is very high, and it takes half a year to settle the settlement, alas! You have to go to JPMorgan's account, and Citigroup can't do it."

"That's really bad!" Li Zhifan said in agreement, "Brother Song, you must have encountered a lot of ups and downs after staying in the United States for a long time!"

"I've met a lot!"

After drinking some wine, Song Song couldn't keep his mouth shut, and he yelled at "foreign devils" and "Yankees" one after another, which attracted the attention of the surrounding guests.

But most of them can't understand Chinese, so even if they are dissatisfied, no one knows what he said.

Otherwise, they might have started fighting long ago.

"Zhifan-jun!?"

Suddenly, a hesitant and familiar voice sounded in his ear, and the accent was definitely not Chinese.

Li Zhifan couldn't help turning his head and saw a familiar face, but compared to the youthful one at the beginning, he looked more mature and restrained now.

"You Dou?"

The person standing behind was Zhongju Youdou, but Li Zhifan was still not used to being called "Youdoujun".

I was not used to it before, and I am still not used to it now.

"It's really you!"

Zhongju Youdou was very pleasantly surprised, "You are now a big star in China, long time no see, long time no see!"

"What big star, it's just for dinner!"

Li Zhifan laughed and introduced to Song Song who was opposite him, "Brother Song, this is Uto Nakaju, who met me on the field back then, a Japanese friend!"

"Oh? Japanese!"

Song Song looked at Nakaju Yuto playfully, and said a sentence in Japanese, "konn-bann-wa, Songsong!"

"Song Sang! Hello!"

Nakaju Yuto hastily stretched out his hand, "It's the first time we meet, please take care of me!"

"Haha, sure enough you would say that!"

Song Song laughed, "Of ten Japanese, eleven will say that when they meet for the first time."

"This is the courtesy and habit of our country!"

Zhongju Youdou said: "Zhifan Jun, Song Sang, you are here, do you have something to do?"

"right……"

Just as Song Song was about to say something, Li Zhifan winked and said with a smile, "I'm here to play. Teacher Song works here in California."

"Oh, that's great!"

Nakai Yuto said, "The night after tomorrow, I have a concert in Berkeley, and I hope you two can come and enjoy it!"

"no problem!"

Li Zhifan said with a smile, "We must go, please leave the address and time later, oh, there are still tickets!"

"Why don't you leave me an address? I'll get someone to send it to you later!"

Nakaju Youto waved his hand, and a white German man stood up behind him, put down a notebook meticulously, opened it for Li Zhifan, and took out a pen.

Li Zhifan wrote down his current address casually, and left a phone number: "This is my cell phone number in the United States, call me when you have time!"

"Ok!"

Nakaju Yuto picked it up and looked at it carefully, moved his lips, and read silently a few times before putting it away.

Only now did Li Zhifan have the time to ask, "What are you doing now? Holding concerts all over the world?"

"Yes!" Nakai Yuto said, "I signed a contract with a German agency, and I just discovered my first piano creation album this year, and I'm currently on tour."

"That's not bad! It seems that you are going to leave your name in the history of piano!"

A piano creation album is completely different from an ordinary solo performance album, and even more different from a singer's song album, and the difficulty is not at the same level.

Looking at the world, the number of newcomers who can release piano creation albums in a year can be counted on one finger.

If it is not created by itself, it has great potential and funds.

Creating a piano piece is completely different from writing a song. Even popular piano pieces are not easy to create.

Moreover, in a country of music like Germany, the requirements are very strict. Without excellent technology, it is even more impossible for a brokerage company to praise it.

Uto Nakai said very modestly: "I was lucky. I met Mr. Tange Ken. He is a Japanese national treasure music creator. Only with him can I have this album!"

"Oh I got it!"

Song Song slapped his thigh fiercely, "Mr. Tange Ken's works are all excellent works in the world. We who make music, no matter which country we are in, respect him very much."

Tange Ken was just an ordinary musician at first, but he has caught up with the rapid development of Japanese animation. So far, he has composed more than 50 soundtrack works for Japanese animation, and more than [-] of them can be called classics.

Moreover, his music cleverly combines Japanese ancient Japanese style with modern new music, and it is his music that indirectly promotes the popularity of Japanese comics all over the world.

In Tange Ken's music, there are bursting rock music, clear piano music, lonely Japanese folk music, and new century music that incorporates electronic features.

But no matter what kind of music it is, it is full of the style of Japanese music, so that people can know that it is Japanese music.

In terms of attainment, Ken Tange has already surpassed many masters, and even some Hollywood movies in the United States ask him for soundtracks, and they can't even invite him.

At that time, Huaxia Xiangjiang had worked with him on many costume films. At that time, Tange Ken did not have the status he has now, and Hong Kong films caught up with the timing.

"Then this concert, I have to listen to it carefully!"

Li Zhifan said with interest, "By the way, how long are you staying in California?"

Yuto Nakai said: "There are only four days, the Berklee College of Music has performed two performances, and we will go on a tour in Australia immediately."

"That's such a pity!" Li Zhifan said very regretfully, "My daughter will turn [-] next Sunday, and I hope you can come!"

"Your daughter?"

Song Song and Zhongju Youdou were surprised almost at the same time.

Zhongju Youdou didn't know it at all, and Song Song and Li Zhifan had been together for so long, and he had never heard Li Zhifan talk about it, so naturally he didn't know.

"You have daughters already?"

"When did it happen?"

The two suddenly became curious babies, and they pulled Li Zhifan to question.

Li Zhifan couldn't help laughing and said, "Didn't I tell you this? I will be [-] years old next Sunday!"

"Oh!" Song Song came to his senses immediately, "It turns out that you have gone to the United States to have a baby. Who is your wife? There is no domestic entertainment news at all."

Zhongju Youdou still asked in a daze, "What does it mean to be a hundred years old!"

"A hundred years old is a hundred days old!"

Song Song explained for him, and said it in Japanese.

"Oh! We also celebrate the [-]-day banquet in Japan, this ceremony is called the first meal!" Nakai Yuto said.

"That's right!" Li Zhifan blurted out, "The cultures of East Asian countries all originated from China, and you have learned all of these!"

Zhongju Youdou wanted to refute something, but he opened his mouth and said nothing, instead he said: "Zhifan-jun, I will definitely come that day, you must wait for me!"

"Uh, you're so busy, forget it, just make a video call!"

Li Zhifan waved his hand, "Anyway, I didn't call anyone else, just the family members had a meal together."

"I have to go!"

Song Song hurriedly said, "We are so close, I know it now, how can I not be there? I will call Gao Fei to celebrate the centenary together for the child."

"That's fine, when the time comes, you can just come here!"

When Li Zhifan said this, Zhongju Youdou also nodded along with Song Song, saying, "Well, I will definitely go!"

Come on, Li Zhifan didn't say anything else, and took Zhongju Youdou to have a drink together, but he said that he had to rehearse tonight, so he could only drink some drinks.

The more the conversation became more speculative, Zhongju Youdou said with emotion, seemingly unintentionally or intentionally: "Zhifan Jun, I wish I could ask you to write a piano piece for me! Your piece is the most famous musician I have ever seen in my life. , best written!"

"That's right!" Li Zhifan smiled modestly, and this answer was taken to be for Beethoven, Mozart, Liszt, and Tchaikovsky.

"When I was making the album, I thought of you for the first time, but because the agency signed a cooperation agreement with Mr. Tange Ken, I had a hard-won opportunity to release the film, so I had to give up this idea."

Looking at Zhongju Youdou's eyes, he was full of depression, which made Li Zhifan's heart tremble. Could this guy really have depression?
However, the look of depression disappeared in his eyes, and Li Zhifan heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: Probably not.

He patted Nakaju Yuto's arm: "How about this, the concert the day after tomorrow, give me a chance to play, and I will give you a piano piece live!"

"give me?"

Zhongju Youdou's expression of surprise was ignited again, but he immediately recovered his correct attitude and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I can arrange it for you, but you don't have to send it to me. I have a brokerage company now, and all copyrights belong to the company." , you gave it to me, which is equivalent to taking advantage of them, if one day I regain my freedom and become a free pianist again, I will ask you to authorize it."

"Row!"

Li Zhifan didn't care too much, raised his glass and said, "Cheers! I wish your piano concert a complete success."

"Thank you!"

Zhongju Youdou held the drink cup in both hands, respectfully.

It sounded like the first time I saw Yuto Nakai at Fujino University, the unruly Yuto Nakai with his eyes above the top seemed to have disappeared, and today I haven't seen him showing the expression of that year.

Maybe the reality has worn away the original heart of this young man. Even at this moment when he has become a rising star in the piano industry, he has lost the pride of the past.

After chatting for an hour, the white German came over and called Zhongju Youdou away, so he had to obey the order and bid farewell to Li Zhifan and Song Song temporarily.

Seeing his leaving back, Song Song said: "The Japanese are always so cautious, but they cooperate with the Germans because they listen to it."

"It turns out he's not like that!"

Li Zhifan recalled the past, and told the process of getting acquainted with Zhongju Youdou, as well as the halfway story.

Gao Song's expression was very flat, and he didn't show much surprise or surprise. Maybe he also had the experience of agreeing, so I can empathize with you!
When he got home, Li Zhifan deliberately lay down on the rattan chair in the yard for a while, firstly to let off the smell of alcohol, and secondly, to think about what to play for Zhongju Youdou's concert the day after tomorrow.

For Li Zhifan, he has a huge music library, so he has choices.

Whether to overshadow Zhongju Youdou's limelight, or Xiao Xiaolu's hand, or just take care of yourself.

The first type is the super technical piano music.

The second is to show the audience, especially the students of the Berklee College of Music, who will be the mainstay in the music circles around the world in the future, and it is not easy to show them.

The last one is to follow your own heart and play whatever you want, regardless of whether the technique is high or difficult, and whether the audience is surprised or like it or not, just be yourself.

After thinking about choosing one of the three for a long time, Li Zhifan made a decision and thought of a suitable piano piece.

So, he immediately got up and went back to the house, and went straight to the study on the second floor.

There is a piano in there, which was left by the previous owner, let's try it first!
