Grand Los Angeles Hotel.

Seeing that the main creators of "The Last Emperor" were gathered again except for Zunlong, most of them gathered together again. Bettorucci's face was full of smiles. It was obvious that he was very happy that members who had left the crew could volunteer to come to help promote the announcement.

Although the fundamental reason for this "voluntary" comes from the opportunity to win the Academy Awards.

Bettorucci asked, "Li, Long Yi gave me the record you released in Japan. The song was very well written and the performance was very nice. Does that instrument really have the history of Long Yi for thousands of years?"

Li Yange nodded and said, "Yes, the history of the treasury can be traced back to seven thousand years ago, and is one of the oldest musical instruments in our China."

"Wow, the history of seven thousand years is too long. I think this is the oldest instrument I have ever heard, no more." Bettorucci was surprised. It was hard for him to imagine that an instrument could have a history of seven thousand years. If he hadn't known Li Yange's character, he would definitely think that the other party was lying.

"Yan Ge, I remember that a bone-made flute was discovered in China a few years ago, which seems to have a history of six or seven thousand years, right?" Chen Chong remembered that a few years ago, there seemed to be an archaeological news on TV that said that a very ancient bone flute was discovered.

"Well, a bone flute about 8-9,000 years was excavated at the Jiahu site. This is the first time in global history that has been discovered over 7,000 years old." Speaking of this excavated bone flute, Li Yange saw it when he went to the Zhejiang Provincial Museum in his previous life. The overall shape is similar to the bamboo flute we use now.

"**Million Years? Oh my god, this is simply two or three times more than the history of our Italy." Bettorucci opened his mouth wide and his face was full of disbelief. Italy's history can be traced back to the tribal era more than 4,000 years ago. This bone flute instrument is even longer than the history of their country.

"By the way, the director just said that you have released an album in Japan?"

Only then did Chen Chong react and looked at Li Yange in surprise.

"Well, a pure music album was released in Japan in June."

"Then I have to find someone to buy one to listen to it."

"I have another one. If you want to hear it, I'll let Shaojun give it to you later."

"Okay, just listen to your masterpiece!"

Chen Chong smiled. After filming the movie "The Grand Class" last year, she has been in the United States for half a year and has never had the opportunity to have a new movie. So when she heard that the director was going to sprint for the Oscar, she also came spontaneously, thinking that if she could nominate the Oscar for Best Actress with "The Last Emperor", she would not have to worry about not being able to receive Hollywood movies next.

After chatting for a while, Bettorucci officially talked about the next public relations work.

There are two types of public relations in Hollywood. One is to give gifts to judges in various names, and the second is to vote for their preferences, establish a good relationship with the other party, and then try to get the other party to vote for their own movies.

Originally, this kind of public relations matter was not Li Yange's turn, but in the American Film Academy, there are many elderly judges who especially like classical music. Now there is a very famous Chinese cello musician Yo-yo Ma in the United States. Considering that this musician and Li Yange are both Chinese, in order to win over those elderly judges who love classical music, Bettorucci had to invite Li Yange to the United States.

As for why I didn’t consider Ning Ying, Zunlong and Chen Chong, it was mainly because Li Yange himself was also an excellent musician, and he was similar to Yo-Yo Ma’s musician. I think he could talk together.

"Yoyou Ma?" Li Yange raised his eyebrows and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Bettorucci called him to come to the United States, but actually wanted him to have a good relationship with Yoyou Ma and ask the other party to help him get votes.

"Yes, Lee, you probably don't know Yuyuma, who is the most famous cello musician in the United States at present!"

In order to understand Yo-Yo Ma, Bettoruc also asked someone to find information about the other party in the past few days. It has to be said that this very famous cello musician in the United States is indeed very proud of being proud.

When he was 7 years old, Yo-Yo Ma and his sister performed at the Washington Cultural Center, which was praised by the then President Kennedy and his wife.

At the age of 16, he held a personal cello recital at Carnegie Hall in New York. Yo-Yo Ma's skills were amazing and became famous.

When almost all musicians can perform in New York's Carnegie Hall, Yo-Yo Ma has long become a frequent visitor to Carnegie Hall. If his performance that day, tickets will be sold out meaninglessly the morning before.

Two years ago, in 1985, the 30-year-old Yo-Yo Ma won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Solo Award for the first time, which completely brought the Chinese cello musician into the vision of the American general public.

After all, compared to concert halls, Grammy Awards are the focus of more ordinary people.

Li Yange definitely knows more about Yo-Yo Ma than Bettorucci. After all, as a Chinese who is very accomplished in the global classical field, it is difficult for Li Yange, as a compatriot, to pay attention to it.

Li Yange still remembers that the theme song of the same name played by Yo-yo Ma for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was refreshing with innovative neoclassical violin music with Chinese elements. In addition, the three "Silk Road" he released in 1998 are no less than Kitaro's album of the same name in 1980.

Thinking of this, Li Yange shrugged and said, "Director Betorucci, I understand what you mean, but I don't know Yo-you Ma."

"It's okay, Long Yi knows him, and I took you in Japan not long ago and listened to him by listening to the album you made in Japan and a few soundtracks made for our movie. Yooma was very interested and even asked Long Yi to know you. If I knew you were in the United States, I think I would definitely meet you."

Is this already planned? I am a tool?

When Li Yange heard Betorucci's words, he felt amused and crying.

I have to admit that Bettorucci has really put a lot of effort into winning the Oscars. In order to win the judges who like classical music, he thought of Yo-yo Ma who likes his good intentions. Considering that the other party is Chinese, he even called Li Yange from China from afar.

For the sake of votes, Li Yange felt really sorry for Bettorucci's careful study.

Thinking of this, Li Yange pondered for a moment, looked up at Bettorucci, and said, "Director Bettorucci, I can try to mention this matter to Yo-you Ma. As for whether the other party is willing, I can't guarantee this. After all, there is still a big difference between Chinese and Chinese."

Yo-Yo Ma is a second-generation Chinese. He has accepted Western thoughts since childhood. In addition, what he learned is Western classical music, which is very different from the folk music that Li Yange learned in his previous life.
