814. Little farewell? The bliss of heaven and earth
Two hours later, Astor and the technicians returned to Hamburg overnight with the last recording.
Although the master tape has been recorded, they are still busy next.
Before leaving, Astor told Qin Jian to wait for good news. The good news is nothing more than the future sales of records.
Qin Jian was also looking forward to it, but that was something to talk about later. At least now he felt relaxed.
After several days of running around and recording, the recording finally ended with satisfaction, and he felt relieved that he had been feeling better for a few days.
This is important.
Early the next morning on the 27th, Qin Jian and the others also left Berlin and returned to Hamburg.
Since landing, he has been busy all day long.
The old rule is, after recording.
At noon, he had a quick lunch in the studio, and in the afternoon he shot the album cover, promotional photos, and promotional video for op.28.
The filming ended at eight o'clock in the evening, and then I received an invitation from Vaughan.
Vaughan arranged a small dinner and informed that three European record dealers would also be attending.
Qin Jian wanted to refuse, but he agreed at noon that the two of them would live together in the evening.
This meal may be important, but this time Duan Ran came to Berlin to see him, the two of them had not spent even one night relaxingly.
Although Duan Ran arranges all kinds of breaks in the busy life in an orderly and fun way, such as razors, shopping for clothes in the mall, and green little apples on Christmas Eve.
But Qin Jian felt that he had not done anything for the other party, so he wanted to spend one night with Duan Ran.
Because the two of them will return home early tomorrow morning.
But Duan Ran suggested that he let him have the meal.
"Go ahead, go ahead. Work requires it. Our plans can be adjusted at any time. You will have to earn money to support your family in the future."
"It just so happens that I didn't practice the piano today, so I'll just stay here and practice. Come pick me up after you finish."
"So you should drink less alcohol today."
"We still have the whole night."
Finally unable to defeat Duan Ran, Qin Jian sent her to the piano room and promised to come over soon after finishing her work.
Then he and Vaughan Paul left the DG headquarters in a car.
——
In the evening, Qin Jian received several more business cards.
At the dinner, several people introduced by Vaughan to Qin Jian were all the distribution managers who would be involved in the distribution of his records in Europe.
Everyone's talk has been surrounding Qin Jian and the upcoming album
With Paul talking and Vaughn leading the conversation, Qin Jian told everyone about his process from the original intention of recording this CD to the completion of the recording.
Especially when talking about the specific recording situation, "I changed three venues in four days and returned to Berlin and Hamburg twice."
It's as if this tight recording schedule emphasizes the extraordinary quality of this record.
All the sales managers listened with great interest.
But this story, which is not apocryphal, may make them skeptical for those true Chopin enthusiasts——
‘Can the quality of a record that sounds like it has been produced in such a hurry be guaranteed, even if it was recorded by Qin Jian himself?’
They hope to hear the same timbre quality as what Qin Jian played at the Gold Medal Concert in the CD they bought with a lot of money.
But for the market, the recording process of this album is definitely a good copywriting.
Dealers can use this copywriting to do the second wave of online promotion.
When it came to the end, Qin Jian himself felt that this section was quite torturous.
Fortunately it's over.
"Have you got a bad appetite?" Vaughn saw that Qin Jian only ate a little salad all night.
"There will be midnight snacks later." Qin Jian hinted that there was a little cutie who was hungry.
At the end of the dinner, everyone toasted together to wish the record a great sale.
On the way back to DG Company, Vaughn and Qin Jian once again raised the issue of the authorization of Ya Da and Qi La.
The two had previously reached a verbal agreement on this issue.
Qin Jian licensed the play script of Ya Da and Qi La and the orchestra score to DG Company.
In addition to paying Qin Jian a one-time payment equivalent to 3.7 million yuan in chips, Vaughn also has to continue to pay Qin Jian various profit shares during the authorization period.
For example, the most direct one is taking a commission from the box office of the show.
The authorization period is 5 years.
In the car, the two discussed the scope and details of the authorization for a second time.
After some haggling, the two parties reached an oral contract again and agreed to formally sign the contract one month later.
During this period, both parties made preparations.
Finally, Vaughn mentioned something that was almost thrown into the corner of Qin Jian's memory.
At the Bergen Music Festival, Vaughan finally gave a clear answer to the question that Hubbard's new work "Snow Mountain" plagiarized "Kris' Seventh Variation".
"It is estimated that EMI will receive our New Year's gift on the first day of the New Year."
Qin Jian feels that the time chosen by Vaughan is very friendly, whether it is at the beginning of the new year or before he is about to release a record.
Professional matters should still be left to professionals.
He believes that Yada and Kira can create greater value in Vaughn's hands, or that Yada and Kira should belong to the entire classical music world.
He is just an exclusive agent.
After getting off the car, Qin Jian asked Vaughan a question.
After hearing this, Vaughn looked at the time and then gave him an answer that sounded good. He also lent him his car and driver.
——
After saying goodbye to DG headquarters, Qin Jian took Duan Ran into Vaughan's car.
The car did not drive in the direction of the hotel.
"Where are you going?"
"Markthall Neun."
Duan Ran snuggled into Qin Jian's arms, "I'm so hungry."
"We'll be there in a moment, please bear with me." Qin Jian said, his stomach growling several times.
Qin Jian smiled, raised his hand and tightened Duan Ran's arms, "I want to eat with you."
"Hey!" Duan Ran bared his teeth, "I love you."
——
For foodies, Market 9 should not be missed.
When the car drove to the Ninth Market in Kruzberg District, Duan Ran seemed to be in heaven.
London pie, cassava dumplings, Mexican tortillas, Peruvian ceviche, the whole market is a mixture of delicious food.
Duan Ran tried all kinds of snacks, but in the end most of them ended up in Qin Jian's stomach.
The two of them ate and walked around, passing by a flower shop, and Qin Jian bought a bouquet of roses.
"Thanks husband."
Qin Jian looked at Duan Ran's hands full of food and said, "You eat first, and I'll hold it for you first."
"don't want!"
As Duan Ran spoke, he swallowed the pie in his left hand with his mouth wide open and snatched the flower from Qin Jian's hand. She was about to turn around.
"Wait a moment."
"ah?"
Qin Jian raised his hand and gently wiped away the grease on the corner of Duan Ran's mouth, and said softly, "Eat slowly."
"Yeah, yeah!" Duan Ran nodded and ran to the next stall.
Looking at Duan Ranhuantuo's back, Qin Jian smiled and followed him.
A pleasant hour and a half passed quickly.
Before the market closed, the two ended up having a short and warm night snack in a craft beer house.
Peaceful night.
The two young people hugged each other and fell asleep, spending their peaceful night quietly.
