Chapter 1228: Premiere

"I'm very glad to be appreciated by you, but in the past two days someone found me through Yo-Yo Ma and wanted me to hold a concert; you know, Yo-Yo Ma and I are friends, I need to see his situation before making a decision !" Shen Long patted Guo Yan's hand lightly under the table, signaling her to calm down.

Um? When did this happen? Why don't I know? When Yo Ma and I went shopping, she didn't tell me about it, did she? Guo Yan was a little dazed.

"Damn it!" Chris scolded his mother directly, "I knew those guys would not let go of any chance! Mr. Wang, you haven't promised them yet, have you?"

"Not yet. After all, I have only just come into contact with it. After all, this is my first appearance in front of American music fans. I must be cautious. If I fail this time, it will be difficult to get another chance next time!" Shen Long said in a serious manner, in fact, some people came to him there. There are quite a few reporters who came to interview him these days, but the performance company was the first one.

"Yes, yes, you really need to be cautious. You must find a company with outstanding strength, so that they can help you handle things like venues, publicity, and ticket sales. Ordinary companies can't do these things well; and our Chris company in New York The classical music industry has been in business for many years and has a wide range of contacts... I will definitely be able to help you deal with these things." When he heard that he hadn't signed a contract yet, Chris breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bragged about his company.

"We've already made a plan, look." Chris took out a performance plan from his briefcase, pointed to the words on it and explained to Shen Long one by one, "As for the venue, we chose New York University The concert hall, this concert hall can accommodate... In terms of time, we want to start as soon as possible, at least we have to release the news of the performance before the news craze has stopped, so as to attract more audiences to buy tickets... the performance As for the team, I can help you find an experienced orchestra to cooperate with, here is their information..."

This was originally an internal plan of Chris's company, but now that someone has taken the lead, Chris has no choice but to take it out directly, "In terms of performance sharing, we follow the rules and deduct venue expenses, publicity expenses, orchestra expenses, and on-site material expenses." ...Besides, you can probably get 30% of the ticket revenue...."

In fact, Chris said less. Generally speaking, Shen Long and Guo Yan can get about 35% for this kind of concert. Chris deliberately lowered it, and he didn’t talk about the copyright fee. Yo-Yo Ma paid him the corresponding fee when he performed the music he composed.

But relatively speaking, Chris is still reliable, and he didn't squeeze Shen Long too much. After all, he mentioned Yo-Yo Ma just now. If the gap is too big, he will understand when he goes back and ask Yo-Yo Ma.

"It can be seen that your company is very strong, and the plan is very thoughtful." Because of this, Shen Long's tone softened. At least this company really wants to make this concert a success. There is room for exchange.

"Of course, Chris Performance Agency is worthy of your trust." Chris said proudly.

"That's good. I'll go back and talk to the company that Youyou introduced. If the conditions he offers are not as good as yours, I'm inclined to cooperate with you." After a few words of politeness with him, Shen Long He took Guo Yan and left.

"When did Xiao Ma introduce the company to you? Why didn't I know?" Guo Yan couldn't help asking just after he came out of the cafe.

"Haha, what company is looking for me? I fooled him, otherwise he could show us the plan." Shen Long laughed.

"Shouldn't people be angry? If you don't agree,

What if they find someone else to perform? It is not easy for us to get such an opportunity! "Guo Yan began to worry again.

"Don't worry, as long as you can help him make money, you still have to smile when you hit him with a temper. If you can't squeeze oil out of you, even if you kneel down to him, he won't bother to look at you. Americans, especially American businessmen are so pissed; if I don't say these things, he will treat us like turkeys!"

"Let's not be in a hurry. When he comes next time, I will ask Youyou to help us and ask his manager Banana to negotiate terms for us. I reckon the terms he just gave us are still worthwhile." In fact, Shen Long could talk on his own, but Guo Yan would find it strange, so he simply asked a professional agent to help, and at worst, he would give Banana a sum of money as a reward.

Sure enough, within two days, Chris came to the door again. Shen Long pretended to be moved by his sincerity, and asked Banana to come over to help him negotiate. When he saw Banana, Chris understood, well, Let's follow the industry's standards. The things I hid must not be hidden from this well-known agent in the industry.

Since everyone is an expert, and there is a fixed standard for the profit sharing of the concert, it is simple, and it is almost enough for Chris to raise the price on his own initiative.

Shen Long put forward two conditions. The first is to invite Yo-Yo Ma to participate in the performance. Chris has no objection to this. With a well-known performer like Yo-Yo Ma, the appeal of the concert will only be higher. It can also increase the price; Shen Long sold a little bit of his own interests, allowing Yo-Yo Ma to get a higher appearance fee, which can be regarded as repaying Yo-Yo Ma for his help.

Second, he recruited the band members himself. He wanted to find out if there were any other musicians from China in New York, and he wanted to use this opportunity to help them out. Don’t worry if you can’t find them. Kitaro has many proficient in China. As for the performers of traditional musical instruments, as for the performers of Western instruments, it is enough for Boris and Robert to play.

After all, this is not a performance at Carnegie Hall, and the requirements for the performers are not that high. Boris and the others are originally professionals, and they definitely have this level.

Kitaro and Yo-Yo Ma have already said hello, and it is an unwritten practice in the classical music world to use band members he is familiar with. Therefore, although Chris may suffer a small loss, for the greater benefit, he Still agreed.

So the two parties successfully signed the contract, and then Chris immediately released the news, taking advantage of the wave of news that Shen Long caused in Central Park had not yet passed, released the news that this magical oriental musician was about to hold a concert.

"Our premiere in the United States is finally about to start. Although it's not Carnegie Hall, it's a good start. Let's prepare with all our strength!" Shen Long called all the performance members and said solemnly.
