Debuting After Eight Years of Time Travel: 526. The terrifying price of live broadcast rights for lectures! Juilliard ambition! (Please subscribe)
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter that took eight years to debut!
In the past few times, Wang Qian’s lectures at Zheyin, Moyin, and Curtis could be said to be random.
Because
Basically, the things he thought about in advance could not be brought into play.
Every time he gives a class, the people attending the class are not ordinary students. Most of them are senior industry insiders, even big names in the industry.
Some of these people will definitely ask questions to Wang Qian and interrupt Wang Qian's lecture. If Wang Qian wants to answer the other party's question, then the class will basically deviate from his control.
So!
This time when he came to give a lecture at the Juilliard School in New York, he didn't think about any specific things to explain, and everything was improvised.
However, the only thing that is certain is that he will explain as much as possible about Chinese folk music, and then a series of things about the nocturne.
Most European and American music artists are more concerned about the foundation of the so-called enlightened music masters, but Wang Qian doesn't care much about this.
In comparison, he is more concerned about how to promote China's folk music culture to the world.
Max looked at Wang Qian and saw that Wang Qian didn't look like he was joking. He seemed to be really unprepared. After being a little surprised, he understood in his heart.
After all, this class was so rushed, and Wang Qian had been extremely busy in the past two months. Of course, he had no time or energy to prepare the lecture content.
Max said immediately: "Professor Wang Qian, our college hopes that you can tell more about your nocturne series. At the same time, also tell more about the violin piece you played at Curtis last time. I think this is what everyone wants to hear most right now. It is also your opportunity to explain your music concept to the world, and everyone will understand better what your music is like."
After a pause, Max said: "Our college will say hello to the insiders attending the class in advance and ask them not to cause trouble for you as much as possible, so that you can safely talk about what you want to talk about."
Wang Qian smiled slightly and asked in a low voice: "Professor Max, are you sure they won't cause trouble if you say hello?"
Max thought for a moment and recalled Wang Qian’s last lecture at Curtis. Basically, people asked questions all the time. The various difficult questions made many people feel that they couldn’t handle it. A person like Wang Qian who has such profound attainments in the field of music can be able to answer questions about various musical instruments in the end.
It seems that in the field of music, there is nothing that Wang Qian cannot do.
That kind of class is actually not what Max and the Juilliard School want. They just want Wang Qian to explain the series of works on Wang Qian’s road to music mastership in depth, and they don’t want others to come out to make things difficult for Wang Qian. Qian made the lectures intermittent.
Although
The last video of Wang Qian’s lecture at Curtis has been highly viewed around the world. Almost everyone who studies music can’t watch it more than once. They all think that this class is the most popular in the past twenty years. Valuable music lessons.
But.
The Juilliard School still does not want Wang Qian to repeat Curtis’s last lecture in Juilliard.
Moreover, Max and the senior executives of Juilliard School believe that their reputation is enough to deal with most of the big names in the field of music and art, so that they can listen to the lessons honestly.
Those audience members who are not sophisticated enough are basically not qualified and do not have the courage to ask questions on such occasions.
So, they think they can control the course of the class.
Max said seriously: "I think it's okay!"
Wang Qian said nonchalantly: "That would be the best."
After several lectures and an in-depth understanding of music knowledge, Wang Qian has formed his own music knowledge system. He will not have any problems if he lectures step by step, which will allow him to complete the course more easily. Nothing could be better.
However, Wang Qian is still skeptical of Max's arrangement.
He didn't think so.
The Juilliard School can single-handedly handle the entire world of music and art.
Moreover.
Not only professionals in the field of music and art were attending the class, but also some celebrities and wealthy people, as well as professional media were present.
Not to mention, this class was broadcast live.
Can these people be so honest?
Wang Qian chuckled, not caring about Max's confident arrangement.
Max added: "Professor Wang Qian, this time our college took the initiative and sold the live broadcast rights of this class to the TV station. We will not take the money ourselves. After our discussion, we will 60% of the income will be given to you, and the remaining 40% will be given to the school development fund.”
"We know that this class has such high attention and can be sold at such a high price only because of you. Therefore, we will give you 60%"
Max looked at Wang Qian slightly ashamed.
Of course they refused those TV stations to broadcast live at first.
The Juilliard School is one of the best music and art schools in the world. It has such a high status in the field of art. How could it accept your live broadcast on TV and become so popular? Doesn’t that go against art?
But
After several of the largest TV stations in North America came to bid.
The top management of the college compromised and agreed.
Because, they gave too much.
So much so that great music artists like them have to bow to the dollar.
However, Wang Qian said nonchalantly: "No, you don't need to give this money to me. Leave it directly to the college to develop the Chinese Folk Music Department in the future. This is my support for the cooperation between the college and the Chinese Folk Music."
Max: "In fact, the 40% of the income we keep is to be used as funds for the future development of Chinese folk music. This is enough. Moreover, this is a huge amount of funds. I think you should still Don’t say no.”
Wang Qian smiled and said: "Professor Max, I'm not that interested in money now. Leave it to the college. I don't want it anymore."
Max asked in surprise: "You don't want three hundred million dollars anymore?"
The few people around who were pretending to close their eyes to relax opened their eyes slightly at the same time, looking at Max in surprise and curiosity.
Just a live broadcast of one class, giving Wang Qian 60%, is 300 million US dollars?
So
The live broadcast rights of this class were sold for a total of US$500 million?
Is it so easy to make money?
No wonder Juilliard School couldn't refuse the live broadcast of the TV station. The price was indeed too much for them to afford.
Juilliard’s main source of funding is donations from alumni and celebrities and wealthy people. The annual teaching funds are at most tens of millions of dollars, which is quite tight.
Now that the TV station is spending US$500 million, how can they refuse?
In recent decades, the total number of donations they have received has not been this large.
However, after they received 500 million US dollars, they still thought of giving 60% to Wang Qian, which would give them a full 300 million US dollars.
It’s really rare.
It can be seen that these artists are indeed not capitalists, but real artists.
If it is capital
I will definitely not give Wang Qian a cent.
Because, when Wang Qian came to give lectures at Juilliard School, there was no written contract, it was just a verbal invitation, and Wang Qian verbally agreed. It was that simple.
Theoretically, any profits from this class are monopolized by the organizer, Juilliard School, and there is no problem in North American law.
If it were Wall Street capitalists, they would definitely take this money for themselves.
However, Juilliard School took the initiative to give Wang Qian more than half.
Guzhen
Wang Qian also took a high look at Max and had a favorable impression of Juilliard School. He smiled and shook his head and said, "Three hundred million U.S. dollars is not a big sum of money to me. I hope that Juilliard School Leah Academy can sincerely accept and develop our Chinese folk music, so giving this money to you is my support for you!”
Excitement flashed in Max's eyes.
Even for a world-class piano master like him, he couldn't help but be a little excited when he heard that Wang Qian directly handed over 300 million US dollars to the academy.
Juilliard has never been so generous in its more than 100 years of existence.
In fact, no music and art college has ever had so much money.
Wang Qian’s move is equivalent to a direct donation of US$300 million to the college, which is definitely the largest single donation income Juilliard has ever received.
At the same time, it can also be regarded as the largest single donation income received in the field of education in North America.
In other top comprehensive universities, there have been more than one examples of alumni or wealthy people donating hundreds of millions of dollars, but a donation of 300 million US dollars has never happened.
After a flash of excitement flashed in Max's eyes, he quickly calmed down. He knew that the money was not much to Wang Qian.
Although he did not carefully understand Wang Qian's other detailed information, he could tell from just a cursory glance that Wang Qian made tens of billions of dollars in North America within two months. And this is just cash, not counting the value-added figures of startups.
So, three hundred million US dollars is really nothing to an invisible world-class rich man like Wang Qian.
Max said seriously to Wang Qian: "Then I would like to say thank you on behalf of the college. In fact, our college has not yet unified opinions on the launch of Chinese folk music teaching. Although it has been initially passed, there are still some Many people disagree. We hope that your lecture can convince these people."
"That way, our college can focus on this."
"Chinese folk music is a self-contained and rich music system, and many of us are very interested in it. Therefore, taking the opportunity to carry out Chinese folk music classes this time is not just because of you."
"And this is actually one of the reasons why we invite you to teach in our college. We don't just want you to take piano lessons. We also hope that you can come here to take Chinese folk music lessons in the future"
Max said it sincerely.
It seems that Juilliard School has long wanted to start Chinese folk music classes. It seems that they have been studying Chinese folk music for a long time and have achieved good results.
Wang Qian smiled slightly after hearing this, knowing in his heart that he just listened to these words and must not take them seriously.
He can also see the ambition of Juilliard School from Max’s words
That’s it!
Becoming the only top school in the world that encompasses both Eastern and Western music systems.
This is also Yangyin’s ambition.
Juilliard is one of the top schools in Western music, but it has not yet started studying Chinese musical instruments.
Yangyin is definitely the world's number one school in terms of Chinese folk music, and the research and teaching of Western musical instrument systems has been going on for decades.
So, Yangyin is now ahead of the Juilliard School.
The advantage of Juilliard is its reputation, status and profound heritage. If it can become a pioneer of Chinese folk music in the West, it may occupy the dove's nest in the future and become the only fusion institution in the world recognized by the fields of European and American music and art. The top school of Eastern and Western music.
This is the possible result of the huge gap in status between the two sides.
Now, Juilliard is taking action.
First tie Wang Qian to the Juilliard School, and then invite top folk music masters from Yangyin School to give lectures, gradually establishing a Chinese folk music department within the Juilliard School. At that time, Yangyin School may also be and other top Chinese folk music masters stayed directly at Juilliard, gradually hollowing out the foundation of Chinese folk music
Wang Qian thought for a moment, then his face became slightly serious. He looked into Max's eyes and smiled: "Of course, I am exactly what I hoped for."
While the two were chatting, Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Juliet and others around them all remained quiet. They did not talk to each other because they were not qualified.
Chiff
This time it stopped.
Arrived at the hotel booked by Juilliard School.
Obviously, this news is no longer a secret.
So, Wang Qian could see a huge crowd gathering outside the hotel.
Of course, those in the front were many media people holding long guns and short guns, and behind them were many fans and fans holding signs.
The text written on the sign is in Chinese, English, and traditional Chinese.
"New York welcomes you, Professor Wang Qian."
"wewillrockyou"
"Professor Wang Qian is the most handsome"
"Wang Qian, I love you"
The big shining signs can be seen clearly even late at night.
At the same time, hundreds of media people gathered around were also filming frantically, and synchronized the news here to social platforms around the world, so that everyone around the world could control Wang Qian's action information in real time at any time.
However.
In itself, there is a live broadcast of the TV station.
The door of the car.
The program team is ready.
The car door opens.
Max asked Wang Qian to get out of the car first to show respect for Wang Qian.
After Wang Qian got off the car, he immediately saw the program team standing outside.
Diana was waiting for Wang Qian with a microphone in her hand, smiling like a flower. The photographer and others behind her were also people Wang Qian looked familiar to.
Obviously, the TV station that purchased the live broadcast rights of this lecture at a high price is the TV station that cooperates with the World Championship.
This TV station also took advantage of the huge opportunity of live broadcasting the World Championship to become the largest TV station in North America, leaving several other TV stations of similar size behind, both in terms of scale and market value. Elevated to a higher level.
"knockknockknockin'onheaven'sdoor"
A singing voice sounded around.
Then.
Many people in the crowd immediately responded: "knockknockknockin'onheaven'sdoor"
Then, all the fans who came to see Wang Qian sang in unison.
"knockknockknockin'onheaven'sdoor"
Wang Qian smiled at Diana, then turned to the dark crowd of fans and media behind him, waved his hands, and shouted loudly: "Thank you for your enthusiasm, I like New York very much!"
What responded to him was a more enthusiastic and high-pitched singing voice.
"knockknockknockin'onheaven'sdoor"
Many surrounding media quickly recorded this scene and published the entire process on the Internet in real time, so that people around the world who are interested in this can immediately see what happened here.
Many people are excited when they see such a lively scene.
This kind of scene is liked and desired by many people.
And such occasions, with Wang Qian's participation and witness, have happened countless times, and it is no longer a rare occasion.
