The moment he saw Joseph, Ren He felt that the organizing committee of this piano competition was really spending too much money. Joseph had served as a guest judge on foreign talent shows, but the appearance fee for each appearance started at US$120,000.
, converted into domestic RMB, it would be 960,000. Nowadays, a commercial performance by a top-tier celebrity is probably only this price, except for a very small number of people, such as Yang Xi.
Now Yang Xi's appearance fee has been raised to 2 million per time, which is just for singing two songs. You must know that other stars only get between 2 million and 6 million even if they sing for more than two hours of concerts.
For example, Jay Chou in his previous life was paid 6 million yuan for a concert. The entire team of more than 100 people had to stay at the best local hotel. For an ordinary concert, the cost to the organizer was between 8 million and 12 million yuan.
, of course, this does not count as special circumstances, such as Faye Wong’s sky-high price concert.
But since Joseph was invited, it means that this competition is really fair and just, and it can be seen that the organizer is quite serious.
But why don’t you spend more money on inviting guests and spend more on bonuses? In such a big competition, the first prize is only worth 100,000 yuan...
In Jiang Haoyang's words, if it weren't for the fact that Qinghe Club also had bonuses for such honors, they would really look down on this kind of competition. Liu Jiamin explained gently beside him: "Even the bonuses in international competitions are very small, in the piano field
That’s it, after the competition comes out, you can hold solo concerts, make money from ticket sales, and get endorsements.”
Liu Jiamin's image is not bad. She used to be too thin so she looked like a match girl. Now that her nutrition has kept up, she looks like a completely different person. She is indeed a beauty.
Now she is the most popular pianist among the younger generation in China. It is normal for some brands to want her to endorse. So Liu Jiamin actually no longer needs to receive the bonus from the Qinghe Club. She just finished it in Kyoto last month.
A solo concert received more than 900,000 yuan, which is actually not a small amount.
Liu Jiamin discussed with Jiang Haoyang that she should not receive the Qinghe Club scholarship in the future, but Jiang Haoyang disagreed: "When the president established this scholarship, he didn't say that he couldn't receive it if he had income. We haven't graduated from high school yet. Every year
It’s so much money, don’t give it up in vain.”
This is a simple way of thinking. For Jiang Haoyang, enlightenment should be discussed after he has money. Where are you now? No matter how rich you are, can you compare with the president? The president's Qinghe Group is the only one in the world.
Really rich...
Moreover, the scholarship programs in the club are now very detailed. For the first year of high school, the second year of high school, the third year of high school, liberal arts, and science, how much does it cost to be first, how much is second, and how much is third. These have all been redefined.
So as long as you study hard enough, it is very common to get a scholarship. Qinghe Club will not have more than 20 people in the future. Elite clubs should look like elite clubs. If there are too many, it will be bad. There will always be people who are just trying to make up the numbers.
existence.
Ren He's first reaction when he saw Joseph was to avoid it for a while. To be honest, he felt guilty towards Joseph until now, as if he owed money but couldn't pay it back. Joseph definitely wanted him to continue
After returning to the Juilliard School to teach, Ren He still has a dozen emails from Joseph urging him to go back to work. But the problem is that Ren He can go to the United States to play in the future, but it is definitely impossible to settle in the United States.
And he didn't want strangers to know his identity as a young professor. If someone took a photo and posted it online, he would really become a star, and people would ask for his autograph whenever he walked.
There are actually not many fans of piano playing, at least not compared to celebrities in the entertainment industry. However, the identity of the little professor is somewhat different, because he became a master performer at a very young age and put forward new theories.
Coupled with four famous songs in the field of classical music, the domestic media had previously promoted the young professor to the altar. At that time, Qinghe Group had not yet mastered such a powerful power of public opinion.
So Ren He now knows very well that if he opens an identity authentication Weibo in the name of a young professor on Weibo at this time, the number of fans can easily reach millions, and it is possible to become a celebrity with tens of millions.
If other people upload photos and then repost them, you can't delete them all, right? Weibo itself is a place for free speech. If you keep doing this, you will attract gangsters. Then someone will take advantage of it and create something similar to Weibo.
, that’s really not worth the gain.
Therefore, Ren He planned to invite Joseph to his courtyard privately instead of acting like a friend reunion with him now.
"What's wrong with the president? Do you know him?" Liu Jiamin asked curiously when she saw the way Ren He looked at Joseph.
We know each other, we know each other so well! Ren He whispered: "That is the chairman of the Juilliard School of Music. With him here, this competition will definitely be fair and just. Don't worry."
"Don't you go over and meet him?" Liu Jiamin always felt as if Ren He was avoiding him...
"Ahem, it's gone. You can ask him for his phone number after the game is over. Just tell him that the little professor wants it and I will contact him." Ren He didn't know what Joseph's phone number was after he came to China.
Now that I'm here, I have to do my part as a landlord. For such friendly foreign friends, Ren He is happy to show them the beauty of China.
After saying this, Liu Jiamin and the others became even more curious about why Ren He didn't want to see each other here. Could it be that the relationship between colleagues was not going well... It's just that Liu Jiamin and the others didn't understand that Ren He didn't leave his job seriously in the first place, but left without telling him.
No, so now I feel like meeting my creditor...
When the competition officially started, Joseph was already sitting in front of the stage with his back to the audience. Ren He followed Jiang Haoyang and the others quietly sat in the audience without making a sound, quietly listening to the contestants playing the piano.
There were only 12 shortlisted contestants today. After listening to two casually, Ren He found that he still wrongly blamed Yang Xi. He had always compared Liu Jiamin's level with Yang Xi, so he always felt that it was not good for Yang Xi to participate in the competition.
I almost failed, but now I realize that Yang Xi is actually quite good among the younger generation. People like Liu Jiamin, who can rely on their piano skills to enter the Daoyuan Class of Fourth Middle School, are certainly incomparable.
Moreover, Yang Xi's specialty is vocal music. It would be very difficult for her to be proficient in everything.
Without the existence of the Heavenly Punishment System, Ren He himself would definitely be worse than Yang Xi.
When it was Yang Xi's turn to take the stage for the fifth time, everyone else was paying attention to the judges' expressions. As a result, Yang Xi kept looking at the audience. After seeing Ren He, she calmly turned her attention back to the piano.
The audience was a little confused. Why did it feel like Yang Xi was looking for someone?
