pianist from the sea

Chapter 339 A Message

This room feels really good.

Apart from the price being a little on the expensive side, everything else is good.

However, the price is very cost-effective. The overall price of a large villa of [-] square meters, including everything else, only costs about two million euros.

And some of this money can be offset through tax deductions.

After all, Zimmerin told Fu Diao that this place was used as a base for Fu Diao's personal studio.

In the future, a large part of the design of this place will be a giant underground recording studio. In addition to some places for rest and accommodation, many other places will become office spaces for the cute blonde girl next to Fu Tiao. Rebecca uses.

of course!

Not just Rebecca, but others.

If Fu Tiao's studio needs to continue to recruit people in the future, these places will probably be used by them as well.

After all, although Fu Tiao's personal ability is among the top in the world, his commercial level has not reached the top in the world, and he is still at the level of a first-class pianist.

So now Fu Tiao's job is basically very simple. He travels around the world to give concerts, and there are not many other special activities other than that.

It is precisely because of this that Zimmerin left Fu Tiao's work to Rebecca alone, and he was very relieved.

After all, it is only a small amount of work to negotiate with those concert halls, determine the specific itinerary, and determine the corresponding publicity plan.

Zimmerin had done this along with Fu Tiao and others. Now that Rebecca was left to handle it alone, there would naturally be no problem.

Besides, he's still watching!

At present, Fu Tiao's concert this year has almost been arranged. It can even be said that [-]% of the workload has been completed, leaving only the last [-]%.

If Rebecca can't do these [-]%, then Zimmerin will probably replace her directly without Fu Diao speaking directly.

What is a useless assistant doing next to you?As a vase?
Instead of finding someone to be a vase, why not find someone who can do things and be a vase as an assistant?

I don’t know what Fu Tiao thinks, at least that’s what Zimmerin thinks.

So when he asked Fu to inspect the internal structure alone in the basement to see if there was anywhere else that could be done, he took Rebecca directly from downstairs to the second floor upstairs.

According to his plan, the first floor is purely a living room, the second floor is the office space of Fu Diao's studio, and the third floor, which is the top floor, is used for Fu Diao to rest.

This place is more than 20 kilometers away from the city center, and it can be considered a suburban location. Fu Diao probably won't live here all the time, so he just uses it to rest.

So he took Rebecca to the middle of the second floor and spoke to Rebecca.

"Do you understand what I told you before?"

"Clear!"

Rebecca nodded her head vigorously, took out a small sticky note from her back pocket, and read bit by bit with the sticky note.

"Because I am Mr. Fu's assistant, I need to be responsible for all of Mr. Fu's concert schedule, concert planning, follow-up signings, commercial value development, business partner docking and many other tasks. At the same time, I need to monitor Mr. Fu's Live with some limited care.”

When she read to the end, she asked a little confused.

"Teacher Zimmerlin, there is something I don't quite understand here, which is what does this limited care refer to?"

"It refers to... changing Fu's clothes in time and packing up his wardrobe."

Zimmerin sighed and whispered helplessly.

"Fu's outfit at the concert will basically not change, which means he will wear whatever you buy for him. The suit he wore last time was the one I bought for him.

Before he changed my suit, that is, before he successfully signed a contract with the Berlin Philharmonic, he basically had just a few suits that he wore back and forth, never changing!

At the same time, you should remember that if Fu is traveling to some large-scale occasions, you need to make an appointment with a professional stylist for him in advance, otherwise he will probably just go there in a suit. "

Rebecca couldn't help but be startled when she heard this place. She looked up and down at Zimmerin in front of her, and said with a hint of weirdness: "Hello, Mr. Zimmerin... I know Mr. Fu so well!"

"I can't help it. He is the most successful pianist I have. The other artists I have, who are the same age as him, are all unknown. They have obviously won some world awards, but they are just unlucky and there is nothing I can do about it. famous."

Zimmerin sighed, pointed to the sticky note in Rebecca's hand, and continued.

"Anyway, you have to remember that although Fu's current contract with our Deutsche Grammophon company has changed from an employment contract to a cooperation contract, in the end he is still a member of our Gramophone company, and you must take good care of him! "

"Ok, I see!"

Rebecca nodded extremely seriously, then looked at the downward stairs on the side and asked in a low voice.

"By the way, I would like to ask, is Mr. Fu going to... drive the car he used today? Or do I need to prepare another vehicle?"

"He personally prefers to take public transportation. When he gets to a specific place, he will ask the local concert hall to send someone to pick him up."

Zimmerin couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he said this.

"Although there is nothing wrong with this operation, I always feel that he does not have the slightest awareness that he is a top pianist. He can obviously be regarded as a star of classical music, but he is just like ordinary people. I am a little worried about safety. There is a problem, so you can discuss it with him and see what the specific next steps will be."

Zimmerin emphasized the point of "discussing with Fu Diao".

"Remember, you must discuss it with Fu and make meeting his needs the first priority. Don't be particularly anxious about getting results! After all, if you are anxious about getting results, I will definitely not let you do this job. Instead, ask Ask other gold medal agents if they have time to assist Fu Diao, do you understand?"

"Okay! Mr. Zimmerlin! I understand!"

Zimmerin always felt a little worried when he looked at Rebecca's well-behaved appearance in front of him.

But after thinking for a long time, it seemed that there was nothing missing, so he patted her on the shoulder.

"Okay, if you understand, start working. If there is anything you can't handle later, remember to come to me. I usually have time to deal with it."

"Okay! I understand, Mr. Zimmerlin!"

After saying that, Rebecca bowed slightly and nodded to Zimmerin, and quickly walked up the stairs to the first floor.

It happened that Fu Tiao also walked out of the basement at this time.

Fu Diao looked at Rebecca who was running over in a hurry, couldn't help but be stunned, and asked.

"Where's Zimmerin?"

"Teacher Zimmerlin is preparing the follow-up work above. If you decide on this apartment, then we will improve this rental apartment, including the reception hall on the first floor, the office area on the second floor, and the third floor. It’s on the top floor, it’s your lounge, do you think it’s okay?”

Rebecca replied calmly.

Fu Diao didn't expect Rebecca to answer so quickly, so he couldn't help scratching his head. After thinking for a long time, he nodded.

"Oh, that's it. It's okay. It doesn't seem to be a problem...but it always feels a bit strange. It was Zimmerin who told me about this before, but now it's you."

Rebecca said obediently:

"After all, you are no longer an artist directly under our Deutsche Grammophon company, but are part of our cooperative business partnership, so in the future you can only let me help you deal with some things. If you are not satisfied, you can contact me, or Mr. Zimmerlin said let’s see if we can replace him with someone else.”

"Ah...it's not that I want to replace you, it just feels a bit weird."

Fu Diao didn't know what to say, so he scratched the end of his hair awkwardly, and then looked at Zimmerin who was coming down the stairs. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly walked towards Zimmerin, smiling.

"Zimmerin! I have looked at the space below, and everything is fine. The sound insulation effect is very good, and the design of the sound channel is also excellent. I tried it a little, and the sound can easily achieve the tension I want. "

"Is that so? As long as you like it, if you like it, I'll start from here..."

Zimmerin looked at Rebecca, who was following Fu Tiao step by step, holding a note-sized notebook in her hand, and slightly changed his words.

"I will ask Rebecca to have detailed discussions with the developer. She should be able to complete your subsequent contract!"

"If you need anything else about the house, you can come to me!"

Rebecca spoke seriously behind Fu Tiao.

"I will help you inspect the house first. We will confirm whether the horizontal lines in all parts of the house are neat, whether the water and wires of the house are normal, whether the heat insulation of the house is balanced, whether all the windows are intact, whether there are stains or gaps inside, whether there are holes in the ground, etc. Over a hundred different tests! You can rest assured! Plus!"

Rebecca turned over the notebook in her hand, took out a pen from her pocket, and asked Fu Diao seriously.

"Because the house has not yet been renovated, you can tell me what kind of decoration style you want, and we will add furniture according to your needs."

"The decoration style... keep everything simple, right?"

Fu Diao glanced at Zimmerin in front of him and Rebecca beside him who was taking notes seriously. He groped his chin and thought: "Be more comfortable. Everything is convenient, but don't have too many clutter? With me?" The place you live in now is almost good?" "?"

Rebecca was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zimmerin in front of Fu Tiao with a pleading look.

Zimmerin smiled and said clearly: "Okay, I understand. When the plan comes out, I will come to you and give you the final confirmation!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Unfortunately!"

Zimmerin waved his hand, declined Fu Diao's thanks, handed Fu Diao's car key to Rebecca, and said.

"Rebecca, can you drive? Do you have a driver's license?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Okay, if you have a driver's license, you can drive first. I'll have a chat with Fu Diao and then go bring the car over. We're ready to leave."

"Oh……"

Rebecca put away her notebook, took Zimmerlin's keys, and quickly went out to start the car.

Zimmerin followed Fu Diao and slowly looked around the room. After confirming many decoration ideas, he took Fu Diao out of the house and prepared to return to where Fu Diao currently lives.

When he was about to get into Rebecca's car, Zimmerin suddenly spoke.

"Dior!"

"Ok?"

Fu Diao turned his head in confusion, looked at Zimmerin, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

"Come on! If you have any questions later, just ask Rebecca directly. She is actually quite good. She is very attentive and meticulous in everything she does. Although her ability to develop and commercialize may not be that strong, she still handles everything. In some small things, she can hardly find any loopholes!"

Zimmerin patted Fu Diao on the shoulder and whispered meaningfully.

"Perhaps because she has been single for a long time, she can put all her thoughts on her work, so don't worry, you can squeeze her to your heart's content! After all, you are her boss and you have to pay her!"

"Forehead……"

Fu Tiao always felt that there was something in Zimmerin's words, but he didn't think much about it and just nodded.

"Okay, but I'm still not used to it. I'm still used to the feeling of getting along with you. When I need you, you're right there. When I don't, I feel like you're not there. Now I'm suddenly with you. I feel a little bit unaccustomed to being alone by my side all the time..."

"No, why did you make it sound like you said it to me so easily?"

Zimmerin slapped Fu Tiao angrily.

"All in all, Rebecca is a nice person. If you have any problems, don't worry too much. If you have any problems, just ask her! Even if she can't solve it, there's still me! I'll connect with her! There won't be any problems .”

"Ok."

Zimmerin said so, and Fu Tiao couldn't say anything else. The two could only return to Fu Tiao's car and sit in the back seat of the vehicle.

After asking Rebecca to drive towards Fu Tiao's house, the two of them began to discuss the arrangements for the subsequent concert.

After all, the number of Fu Diao concert tours this year has increased. If every concert uses some new works, even Fu Diao will not be able to support such a large number of repertoires.

Therefore, the two discussed for a long time and planned a most conventional repertoire.

That is, for the kind of regular concerts, such as the Munich Concert Hall he is going to next, the repertoire he will play.

If you come across a very large concert hall, you can play some majestic music.

When encountering crowded places like Frankfurt, some darker and more eerie works will be played.

Three or four different sets of works were prepared to respond to different situations.

This is what a concert tour should really be like.

They chatted in the back seat of the car and soon arrived downstairs at Fu Tiao's house.

After Zimmerin sent Fu Tiao back to his home, he took Rebecca in his car and returned to Deutsche Grammophon.

Make work connections.

After all, Fu Tiao is now considered a classical music star. His workload may not be as heavy as other music stars, but he is still far beyond the average first-line pianist.

So the two of them spent the next few days working on it.

While handling Fu Diao's work and changing his agent, Fu Diao did not just sit idle.

He first returned to the Berlin University of the Arts and discussed the subsequent chamber music arrangements with several of his piano quartet partners.

They arranged for a new violinist to come in, named Butos, a man with a Spanish horn beard, as a member of the piano quintet.

At the same time, they can also form a small string quartet to perform.

After Fu Tiao arranged several new works with them, he hurried to the Berlin Philharmonic.

The Berlin Philharmonic will soon be preparing to tour Asia.

Therefore, Fu Tiao needs to conduct final rehearsals with them.

The track was decided.

Fu Diao needs to play Maurice Ravel's "Piano Concerto in G major" and Béla Bartók's "Piano Concerto No. 95" Sz [-]
Both of these works are not simple, so Fu Tiao added a little more content in addition to preparing for his personal tour concert.

However, this is not the end.

Fu Diao still has some courses to learn at the Berlin Philharmonic.

For example, theoretical courses such as instrumental ensemble, instrument method, and band method.

This made Fu Tiao temporarily busy.

He also gradually developed a short-lived habit.

During the day, I practice piano at school, take classes, and rehearse with other people.

After the rehearsal, Fu Tiao had to rush directly to the Berlin Philharmonic to rehearse with them on some nights that were not performance days.

After a busy week of rehearsals, Fu Diao had to rush directly to the performance location to perform.

The performance in Munich was just as planned by Fu Tiao and Zimmerling, and it was a great success.

Although there are no new works, a concert is never known for its fresh works!
Instead, the criterion for success is whether the performance is perfect and whether the audience is impressed.

Although Fu Diao did not perform any particularly novel works, no one can doubt Fu Diao's professional ability.

The perfect musical interpretation directly shocked everyone present.

Received praise from numerous music magazines.

When Fu Diao was performing, the group of music critics who had been impressed by Fu Diao in Frankfurt also published manuscripts about Fu Diao.

For a time, Fu Tiao was in the limelight.

You can see news about Fu Tiao in almost every music magazine you can find.

Whether it is the top magazines such as "Gramophone" and "Music".

Or a tabloid on the street.

You can see all kinds of people praising Fu Tiao's performance.

Fu Tiao did not hesitate when faced with these compliments.

He is still completing rehearsals and school work seriously, and will subsequently travel to various places in Europe to perform.

The days passed were both dull and rich.

Until the emergence of a piece of news broke the peace.
