Chapter 1217: Chance to Perform
"Mr. Wang, this film is one of the most important projects of Toei Co., Ltd. in the next few years. The total investment is about 1.4 billion yen. Because the production cycle of animation films is very long, you don't need to complete this work immediately. After signing the contract, we will pay you a deposit first, and then give the results according to the progress of the film production." Rinto Chihara explained.
"It is still in the preparatory stage. When the project team is officially established, you may be invited to Tokyo to have a meeting with the main creators to discuss. Of course, with such an excellent song as "Dawn of Heroes", I don't think anyone will Doubt your strength." Although Qianyuan Rinren worked hard, he was very excited, because once Shen Long signed the contract, the problem of the soundtrack was solved, and he could also receive praise from his superiors for this credit.
"I believe you are already very familiar with the story of "Three Kingdoms". I will send it to you in the shortest possible time after the outline of the script comes out. After you understand the story we want to shoot, you can conceive the soundtrack..." The soundtrack is average It can't be done until after the film is roughly finished shooting, but it can be conceived in advance.
"Okay, I got it!" Shen Long nodded. In fact, he had already seen Toei Co., Ltd.'s "Three Kingdoms", and now he can take out all the soundtracks, but he can't even have the original paintings. Start drawing, and make the soundtrack yourself, right? It doesn't make sense.
"Then, please!" Chihara Rinto bowed deeply, and then together with Shen Long, they found a lawyer that both parties were familiar with. After reading it, both parties signed their names on the contract.
Soon, Shen Long's second income from copying the music came to the account, and Guo Yan looked at the number on the check excitedly, "Qi Ming, you are really amazing; I didn't expect to make so much money writing music .”
At present, domestic copyright awareness has not yet awakened, and composers are basically paid a dead salary. Although those who can write good songs are the treasures of various orchestras, and their income and status are not low, they are far from comparable to those in the United States. Yan did not know until she arrived in the United States that each orchestra cannot just play other people's music.
If China is like the United States, how much money can Chen Gang and He Zhanhao earn by relying on "Liang Zhu Violin Concerto"?
"Hey, Qiming, do you think we can take Ning Ning over now?" Now that the two of them are a little better financially, Guo Yan thinks of her daughter, who hasn't left since Ning Ning was born. After living with Ningning for so long, she really misses her child, so now that she has some money, she thinks about sending her daughter to study in the United States.
"Our little money is not enough to study for the child. Let's wait for a while; get her a tape recorder first, and then get a few English tapes, let her learn English well first." Shen Long shook his head, wanting to give the child Better education is true, but education in the United States also costs money. Guo Yan somewhat underestimates the fees charged by good schools in the United States.
"I have visited several schools around,
Doesn't the tuition fee seem high? "Guo Yan was a little puzzled," and the education system in the United States is much better than that in China. Not only does the school teach students knowledge, but also various club activities can cultivate children's hobbies, and the pressure on students is also small. I'm going to junior high school, and I have to write my homework very late every day, and I feel very distressed. "
"All you see are public schools, why don't you go to private schools?" Shen Long is a person who has experienced the reform of the education system and knows what tricks Americans play. To put it bluntly, public schools with low investment are all Raising children as pigs, if you go to any high-level private schools, which ones are not stricter than those in China?
There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world. If you want to live a better life than others, how can you do it if you don’t work hard? The poor children in public schools are laughing and joking all day long, and they are happy, but when they enter the society, they will be beaten severely; the children in private schools work hard all day long, and they have grasped the foundation of this society earlier. Background, in the future, don't take it too easy to hang and beat those children who come out of public schools.
"I want to live a good life without enduring hardships. Is there such a good thing in the world? Unless you want Ning Ning to hang out at the bottom of society when she grows up, it's better to send her to a private school; she should go to college in the future." At that time, if I got out, I would go to the president of the university to help her, and if I didn’t, I would ask Yo-Yo Ma to write a letter of recommendation for Harvard, and try to send our children to a school of Harvard’s level.” The school system in the United States is Two years in junior high school, four years in high school, six years is enough for Shen Long to get out.
"What? Universities in the U.S. can still use connections? Doesn't it mean that the U.S. system has always been fair and there is no such thing as going through the back door?" Guo Yan was dumbfounded.
"From a legal point of view, it is indeed fair, but the law itself takes care of the interests of capitalists more; top universities such as Harvard and Stanford are not public institutions, but private institutions. The board of directors is composed of capitalists. They are choosing The student side will definitely take care of the interests of the same class."
"Think about it, if you are the chairman of a certain company, and the boss of a certain cooperative company is a director of Harvard, and you want your child to study at Harvard, is that still a problem?"
"American universities do not only look at grades, but also go through interviews. In their words, they pay more attention to students' comprehensive ability; but how to judge this comprehensive ability is up to them. If you are proficient in equestrianism, it must be considered comprehensive. Ability is strong, but if you worked on a farm with your father since childhood, and you are good at herding sheep and horses, this is definitely not counted; it goes without saying what kind of person has the ability to let children learn equestrianism?"
Guo Yan was dumbfounded by these words, "Isn't this too dark?" If things go on like this, doesn't Ning Ning have no hope of going to university? This is absolutely unbearable.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Yo-Cheng Ma and Yo-Yo Ma, and listen to what they say. Both of them graduated from Harvard, and they are very clear about this." Shen Long shrugged.
"Okay, I'll go get ready and invite them to dinner at home!" For her own daughter, Guo Yan didn't even think about going to work.
Two days later, Yoyo Ma and his brother came to Shen Long's home with their partners. Before Guo Yan could ask them about the American education system, Yoyo Ma gave them a surprise.
"Qiming, I have a concert next month, and I want to try to play the new piece you wrote, but it's hard to find a performer who is good at cucurbit flute and erhu in the United States, so I want to ask the two of you for help, I don't know Is it convenient for you?"
Have a chance to perform so soon?
