Chapter 1236 Surprised by the Domestic Music Industry

I drove around in the morning, and found a time-honored restaurant for lunch at noon. I tasted the familiar taste, which made Guo Yan miss it a lot. After all, if you are not a chef from the Beijing School, the dishes you make are always less interesting."

"It's not far from the National Orchestra, let's go for a walk after dinner!" Shen Long also had a very pleasant meal, and he will never eat such authentic Beijing dishes in the future.

As the most handsome Academician Yang Rui of Peking University said, in the initial stage, the older generation of famous chefs in Beijing still have to work hard to select ingredients and cook food. What we care about is how to maximize the benefits of our own brand through capital operation.

By that time, many time-honored brands have opened all over the country, but their tastes are not as good as before, because those authentic inheritors have long since taken off their chef robes, left the kitchen, and sat in the office in suits and shoes to discuss big business.

In addition, there is also the problem of eating habits. Nowadays, ordinary people are short of oil and salt, and order some dishes with thick oil and water, which is first-class food; but in the future, everyone has long been tired of these things, and they are more concerned about healthy eating.

Therefore, although some time-honored brands have maintained the taste of the past as always, the evaluation in the hearts of diners is getting lower and lower. This is why the evaluation of Quanjude has been suppressed by Da Dong.

Because the distance is not far, the two of them didn’t drive. They passed by after eating and strolling. They could also digest food by the way. When they arrived at the gate of the Chinese Orchestra, they showed their identities and explained their intentions. When they heard that they were Chinese who came back from the United States, they wanted to talk to the unit. When it came to cooperation, the old gatekeeper didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly called the leader.

After a while, the leader came out to welcome the two of them in. We were all in the same circle, and we got to know each other immediately after we reported each other's names. After the politeness, the leader said, "Oh, I also saw it on the news a while ago. You performed in the United States, but you have given us the confidence of the Chinese people!"

In fact, they were quite puzzled in their hearts, what is going on with this American? Why are you so interested in folk music? And didn't you two play the violin in the symphony orchestra before? Why didn't you continue to do this when you went to the United States, but started messing with our stuff?

"I'm making a fool of myself. It's like there are opera learners in our country, but when you go to the United States, people are at most curious. Are there opera learners in China? They won't believe your ability; on the contrary, they learn Peking opera. Going out, people will find it fresh and attract more audiences." Hey, people nowadays are still not confident enough.

So Shen Long said a few more words, "And our traditional music does have something, thousands of years of accumulation, a much longer history than Western classical music, it may not be better than them! This is our root , if you completely abandon these things and learn from the West, wouldn’t it be a tree without roots?”

"Qi Ming's words are good! Now the Conservatory of Music enrolls students, and the students all want to apply for majors related to Western music. Folk music is not very easy to recruit, so we should let them listen to Ming's words!" Shen Long's words aroused dissatisfaction. Few agree.

After the formalities were over, the big guys got down to business, and the leader asked with concern, "Qiming, you said just now that you wanted to cooperate with our orchestra, what's going on?"

"Oh, it's like this. I met people from Toei Co., Ltd. by chance at Kitaro's studio in New York..." Shen Long explained the reason for the incident, "...they asked me to write the soundtrack for the movie, and I Now that it has been written, it is just about to be officially recorded, because I used a lot of traditional Chinese instruments in the song, so I wanted to ask you for help.

"

"Think about it, although the Japanese have learned from us for thousands of years, they have only learned a little superficially. When it comes to this aspect, we have to look at our country! When encountering such a thing, who else can I turn to if I don't come to you for help? "

"Haha, that's that! We're not familiar with "Three Kingdoms"? We can definitely play that taste." The leader laughed happily. This is a good opportunity to win glory for the country.

Then, Shen Long gave them another surprise, "This is a commercial activity. Since you are asking for your help, it should be paid according to the rules. I talked to the people from Toei Co., Ltd. and asked them to pay in US dollars or Japanese yen." Pay the remuneration! Isn’t our country short of foreign exchange now, and now our national orchestra can also generate foreign exchange for the country!”

The leader originally wanted to be polite. Anyway, the big guy usually has a salary, and the daily performances are not very busy. It is enough to find some people to practice together for such a small matter. How dare you ask for some money? Toei Co., Ltd. is willing to pay foreign exchange, so let's not talk about it immediately. This is to earn foreign exchange for the country!

"Hey, I didn't expect our national orchestra to earn foreign exchange for the country one day! I will report to the superior immediately, and we must recruit the best personnel to participate in this project!" The leader is very happy. Once it's done, he might be able to mention it. He knows how much the country attaches importance to foreign exchange now.

Other musicians are also very happy. On the one hand, there is the issue of income. Even if the foreign exchange can't reach them, the unit can't give some bonuses or something? On the other hand, it comes from the pride of the musicians. They are proud from the bottom of their hearts when they think that their performances can be spread abroad.

"Qiming, first make a list and see what instrument you want. We will find a way to find the best performer for you. Even if the best domestic performer is not in our orchestra, I will find a way to temporarily transfer you to the capital. !” If there is such a good thing, it’s not just following the request of the other party, as long as you can get foreign exchange.

"There's no rush for this matter. I'm just going to make a stop when I come back. I'll bring people from Toei Co., Ltd. to sign the contract after two days!" Shen Long hoped to use some young people, such as Chi Guotian. Wang Fang Jinlong, Du Cong, the No. 1 flute in Shanghai, Chen Jun, the master of Taiji Qin, and Wang Zhongshan, the master of Guzheng, are the four future kings of folk music. After all, young people are the future, so give them more opportunities.

After going to the National Orchestra for a while, Shen Long was escorted off by everyone, and the news spread all over the domestic music circle in an instant.

What, those who engage in folk music can actually earn foreign exchange for the country? The Japanese even flew to the capital to invite them to perform? Did I hear you right? The domestic music circles were amazed.

At this time, Shen Long was entertaining his colleagues at the Sheraton!
