Soon, he realized that his emotions just now seemed a little too excited, which was slightly different from the feeling he had when he met Fu Diao on the stage. Therefore, he couldn't help coughing twice to let his emotions calm down a little,

He nodded slightly towards Fu Diao.

"Fu, I've been waiting for you for a long time, but I didn't expect that you would be able to do the signing tonight."

"I didn't expect it either."

Fu Diao glanced at He Shen beside him, then looked at the man and asked, "Can my teacher come in with me?"

"Ah? Your teacher? Of course there is no problem!"

The man straightened his collar, took out a new business card from his pocket, and handed it to Fu Tiao and He Shen.

"When we meet for the first time, let me first introduce myself to you. I am Klaus, the manager of the Polish branch of Deutsche Grammophon, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. I am responsible for the distribution, operation, and...

"

He pointed to the business card in front of Fu Diao and said with a smile: "If you are willing, we can also discuss the subsequent performance issues."

"so."

Fu Diao instantly understood what this person was looking for. In fact, what he said before was a lot of useless nonsense. The main problem was the performance that followed.

Fu Diao glanced at He Shen beside him and found a seat to sit down. He Shen did the same. He looked at the manager named Klaus in front of him with great interest and asked him.

"K...Rouse? Right? Is that correct? I really want to know the price of the performances you arranged for Fu Diao in the first year, as well as the number of performances. What is the general price?"

"I can't actually guarantee this, because what every pianist wants is actually different. For example, Li Diyun is the kind of person who loves to perform. After he won the championship, he actually took a break.

There is not much time, he spends most of his time on playing, so we will arrange as many concerts for them as possible.

But for example, the 2005 champion, Refal blechacz, and the 2010 champion, Yulianna Avdeeva, these people do not have particularly high pursuit of performance, and the venues they perform in are relatively small, so the concerts we arrange for them are also

will be reduced accordingly to satisfy their own pursuits as much as possible.

As for the price, it’s normal

There are other contents, and everyone’s arrangements are different, so we are not particularly sure..."

He Shen immediately interrupted: "So you are saying that you don't know how many concerts you can give Fu him a year? Is that what you mean?"

Klaus immediately denied it: "No, you misunderstood. I definitely didn't mean that. I just said that it depends on what Fu thinks."

After that, he looked at Fu Tiao and asked: "Fu, what do you think? Do you want to have a concert? Do you want more concerts or fewer concerts?"

"Well..." Fu Diao looked at the two people in front of him and couldn't help but hesitate, and then hesitantly said: "How many games are there for the more ones? What about the few ones?"

"If it's more, it's probably one or two times a week. If it's more, it won't be easy to adjust. If it's less, it's like symbolically holding concerts in a few relatively large places, and then moving out, waiting for the New Year at the end of the year.

When allocating performances, we re-discuss the arrangement of concerts every year. After all, if we arrange it now, it will definitely be a Chopin tour. The required repertoire is basically based on Chopin, and we will not give you too much.

pressure.

And if you later enter a certain academy and start to practice piano, we will re-determine the annual plan, because by then the works we need will not only be ordinary Chopin but also other works, but

It needs to be accompanied by other works, and by that time... you may feel that there are only two shows a month."

When it came to saying that two games a month seemed too much, Klaus and He Shen beside him couldn't help but look at each other and laughed at the same time.

Unless the repertoire of all Fu Tiao's concerts is arranged exactly like a tour, Fu Tiao's solo concerts must be once or twice a month. If there are more, even the top pianists may have one.

It's too much to eat.

Although they can pick out the music as soon as they get it, the subsequent processing will take a long time. The more detailed the processing, the longer it will take. It takes half a month for them to process it.

After finishing two or three works, it is still acceptable.

But if they are given half a month to complete a set of concert works, I am afraid that no matter who it is, it will be very difficult to accept.

Fu Diao looked at the two people smiling. Although he was a little confused, he still roughly understood what they meant and spoke.

"In this way...then in the early months, we will do about 4 shows a month. It will be enough to complete the tour in a relatively large place. Don't arrange too much."

"Oh, okay, I roughly understand what you mean. In that case, then there will be an additional show in Warsaw, followed by Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, London, Geneva, Milan, Vienna, Budapest, and Moscow.

, twelve places, three or four months, after performing in these more famous places, you can almost return to China. After one or two months of intensive touring in the cities there, you can prepare to enter school.

It’s in.”

After saying that, Klaus looked at He Shen beside him and asked, "He, how do you feel?"

When he came in from He Shen, he knew that He Shen was not easy to fool.

Fu Diao may be a newcomer, and he doesn't have a special understanding of how deep the waters of classical music are. He might be able to fool him by just fooling around.

But the He Shen next to him clearly seemed like an insider. He seemed to be very familiar with these things and knew the specific conditions of this type of tour.

There's no way you can fool it.

Therefore, before he wanted to convince Fu Tiao, he had to convince He Shen first.

He Shen sat there and thought for a long time, then asked Klaus: "Where is the specific address of the tour?"

"The Berlin Philharmonic Concert Hall in Berlin, the Elb Concertgebouw in Hamburg, and the Musikverein in Vienna are the Musikverein. Although the Musikverein in Vienna is almost ruined by you Chinese, they are still considered good concert halls. Others

This is basically the case. They are venues with at least 1,000 people, so they won’t be particularly bad. However, we generally can’t handle venues with special significance. You must know this.”

"Okay, what's the specific price for a performance?"

"Everything abroad is arranged by us, and domestically, it is arranged by Universal Music in Beijing. I don't know the price you give, but our price here is about 5,000 euros to 10,000 euros per game. According to

Arrangements are made based on the different local prices in each place. For example, in a place with a poor economy like Warsaw, Poland, our price is 5,000 euros.

If you are still willing to sign autographs after each performance, the price of the autograph will still be arranged according to the price of your autograph today..."

"No! No need!"

After Klaus finished speaking, Fu Tiao took the lead and shook his head: "There is no need to arrange autograph signings, or arrange autograph signings as little as possible and as short a time as possible. I really can't stand this kind of thing today."

Klaus and He Shen laughed immediately after hearing Fu Diao's words. Klaus immediately said: "Haha, no problem, I can help you arrange an appointment in advance, for example, limit the signing to 100 people, but

These all depend on the situation. I will send you detailed arrangements later."

"OK."

Fu Diao nodded and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Like the autograph signing last night, if it happened again, he might really not be able to stand it.

From ninety o'clock in the evening to two o'clock in the morning, he continued to sign books, and his face was almost numb from smiling. This feeling made him feel that he was almost not an ordinary pianist, but an idol.

So as soon as he heard that he was going to arrange a book signing, Fu Tiao directly refused.

He never wanted to go through such torture again.

Klaus wasn't too surprised. After all, when he was waiting for Fu Diao to fall asleep in the room, he knew that Fu Diao might refuse, so he didn't ask too much and just continued talking to Fu Diao.

The content of the performance.

The works performed are basically Chopin's works. These works are basically all played by Fu Diao, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

The performance time is probably from 7 to 8:30 every Friday night, and if there are book signings, it will be from 9 to 9:30, and it will end at 9:30.

Others are more detailed content.

As for why Fu Tiao was only allowed to tour in Europe and not in the Americas, it is not clear.

Maybe it's because after all, it's just a branch of Universal, Deutsche Grammophon, and their sphere of influence only stays in Europe, not around the world.

What they signed with Fu Diao was just a simple performance management contract, not a management contract for all agents. Fu Diao was only a pianist who collaborated with them, not their artist.

If you want to arrange a trip to the Americas, you may have to borrow resources from Global, so it is not particularly easy to arrange.

As for Universal Company in Beijing...

There was no need for them to send a message. As soon as the news came out that Fu Diao won the championship, the capital city had already started to contact them, saying that they would arrange Fu Diao's tour in China. Just as Zhao Chengzhen and Zhao Chengzhen had just finished playing in Poland, the Universal Music Group in South Korea

The branch office came over to contact them and said that they would arrange for Zhao Chengzhen to perform in South Korea. It was a concept.

However, the American side has not paid much attention to Fu Diao and others, and Fu Diao has not flown to the beautiful country to sign a contract with their agency.

Therefore, Klaus only arranged tours for Fu Tiao in Europe and China. Only after the parent company of the United States made a decision, would he possibly arrange for Fu Tiao to go there.

But all this has to wait for Fu Tiao's decision.

After everything was negotiated at He Shen's request, Klaus took out a notebook and a small printer for fast printing from his briefcase, placed it in front of Fu Diao He Shen, and turned on the computer.

, a pdf of a contract appeared in front of the two of them..

"This is the motherboard of the contract, made in duplicate. After we outline the content we just negotiated here, we can sign directly."

After that, he quickly modified some details in the contract, such as the number of performances, etc., all of which were done under Fu Tiao's eyes, without any modification of other regulations. What stood out was his magnanimity.

After confirming that the modification was completed, he took out a Lingmei pen from his pocket and handed it to Fu Diao.

"No, just sign on pages 7, 13, and 25 of this contract. If necessary, you can read it slowly. If you don't understand it, you can ask me. But there is no way to change it. This is a standard contract.

Only the above items such as the number of tours can be modified, and the others cannot be modified at all. As for whether the contract will be detrimental to you, I can’t say. After all, all newcomers start with this contract. A three-year contract will wait until you become the world leader.

The top pianists have the right to negotiate prices, and we will talk about other things."

"OK, I see."
