Nine hundred and thirtieth chapters take shortcuts
Li Xiaoru nodded and said, "Yes, I read the event instructions posted by the organizing committee online. If the applicant has won the top three awards in some major events, or has recommended by famous teachers, or has a certain reputation through certain activities, the screening competition can be exempted."
"What specific activities do certain activities refer to?" Liu Lan asked.
"I don't understand, the description of the online rules is not so detailed. I guess the reference standards of the organizing committee vary from person to person. The situation in each country is different, and the flexibility is relatively high," Li Xiaoru thought that it had little to do with him when she saw this rule, and did not think about it carefully. "I think this rule is left to contestants from all over the country for the back door."
Liu Lan also thinks so, "But since they have left a gap that can be taken advantage of, why don't we take advantage of it? Don't you want to take shortcuts?"
"I think, there is no way to go if you don't leave it," Li Xiaoru is not a serious person. She has to use her strength to prove that she has a lot of trouble. She participated in the competition just to get a ranking and continue to study for a master's degree. When it's time to take advantage of the opportunity, she should go with the flow. "The problem is that I didn't participate in any activities. The most important time was the piano solo at the 80th anniversary celebration concert of the Capital Conservatory of Music last year. This experience is very useful in China, but abroad..."
Li Xiaoru remembered Mr. Martin's words again, "Julia doesn't even recognize my report card in the Souyin, let alone Bussoni's organizing committee. Besides, who has not participated in several important music performances, I really can't show my experience."
"There are more performances that others participate in, but it does not mean that they are more famous than you."
Li Xiaoru was stunned.
Liu Lan suddenly grasped the loophole of the rules. "The organizing committee did not clearly state the activities. What kind of activities are, that is, it means that it is not necessarily those very formal activities. In other words, they value the reputation of the contestants more. Bussoni is indeed a world-famous piano competition, but it also has competitors, Chopin Competition, Lister Competition... There are many piano competitions around the world. Just like those diverse film festivals that require well-known directors and movie stars to support the venue, they need famous contestants to increase their attention and consolidate their authoritative position."
"But I don't have much fame, at most I'm a domestic internet celebrity," Li Xiaoru didn't have confidence. "I think if you signed up for this competition, you can be shortlisted by this method."
Liu Lan smiled, "All right, I won't be embarrassed," she lowered her head and clicked on youtube on her phone. She finally could browse this app without any obstacles. Before going to bed last night, she studied the account of the Han Dynasty princess, "Look, there are 180,000 comments under our ensemble video, and half of them are discussing your piano performance. You are also very well-known abroad."
"It's the Internet abroad," Li Xiaoru corrected Liu Lan's statement. She has also read these comments. "I don't think the so-called 'fame' in the rules of the competition refers to such fame. What they want is a genius prodigy, a new pianist, and a rising star."
"How did the names of genius prodigy, rising stars come from? It was not hyped by performances and media exposure, otherwise who would know them! Why doesn't you count them when you post a video of playing on youtube to attract popularity? In the Internet era, ordinary people can become great heroes. As long as you are talented, anyone can become famous!" Liu Lan said confidently, "Your videos are not large, so your fame is almost at a loss. From now on, publishing one or two videos every day will definitely attract the attention of the organizing committee before the end of the month. Anyway, you have to practice the piano every day and record it easily, and it won't be troublesome."
Liu Lan was a little moved by Li Xiaoru. Instead of fighting with countless strong men for 20 places, why not find another way and pass the test easily?
"But my youtube does not have real-name authentication and no fans," Li Xiaoru hesitated.
"Don't use your account, use the account of the 'Han Dynasty Princess'," Liu Lan has already considered it. The 'Han Dynasty Princess' currently has 50000 fans subscribed. This is still the premise that it has not been updated for three weeks and has lost many audiences. Otherwise, nearly 60000 fans should be given a 5000-yuan large number. Liu Lan wants to use the 500-yuan large number to push Li Xiaoru to the popularity list abroad and also give her the title of "new pianist". "I brought the guqin to the United States, and we will play another song and post it online. First, we will get back the popularity, and then plan how to shoot the next video. We have the experience of shooting the 'little ladies' and understand the twists and turns in it. It should not be difficult to do this."
After Liu Lan's analysis, Li Xiaoru felt that the feasibility was very high. The smog that lingers in her heart finally dissipated. She showed a joyful and grateful smile. She didn't talk much about why Liu Lan brought the guqin and what to do when she came to the United States. If Liu Lan was willing to say it, she would have told her long ago.
Li Xiaoru didn't know that the "Han Dynasty Princess" was not Liu Lan's account. She made Liu Lan, who had been hesitating, finally make up her mind to cooperate with He Lushen to bring the "Han Dynasty Princess" to her name. Liu Lan has always been a lie to her friends.
The two of them had lunch happily, and Li Xiaoru returned to school to continue class. She made an appointment with Liu Lan and met downstairs of Yu Zhan's apartment in the evening. There was a grand piano in Yu Zhan's apartment. Yu Zhan could not play the piano. This piano was a decoration bought by the design company when the apartment was decorated and delivered. It made the homeowner look elegant and tasteful. Yu Zhan had never touched it once. It has been idle for many years. Now it is convenient for Li Xiaoru to play the piano.
After separating from Li Xiaoru, Liu Man immediately made an appointment with He Lushen to discuss cooperation on the account of the "Han Dynasty Princess".
However, He Lushen was not available. At this moment, he was meeting with michael rose, the owner of the American film distribution company Mike Pictures. Mike Pictures has the exclusive distribution rights of "Han Palace Qiuyue" in North America, and they are responsible for cooperating with major theater companies to arrange the release and time of "Han Palace Qiuyue".
Michael rose is about the same age as He Huaguang, and the two have a good personal relationship. In recent years, he has set up an Asian film fund to invest in Asian films. "Han Palace Qiuyue" is the first Chinese film he invested in in the first half of this year. At the same time, he also invested in a Japanese film, which has been offline and has a box office of only 800,000 US dollars. However, a Korean film he invested last year had a box office of up to 120 million US dollars.
The box office results of "Han Palace Qiuyue" are not as good as the box office, and they are more than the best, and the box office is particularly good. Without He Lushen's words, they will add the box office; the box office is bleak, and if you say it or not, they will withdraw the box office and stop the loss.
So He Lushen and Michael had a very difficult conversation.
