Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1020
How could that Dahei Moji have any promise?
Isn't the slippery boy surnamed Yanqiao very shrewd?Can't even see through this!

Nagato Taiyuki saw the overwhelming publicity about Daikokumoki, but dismissed it in his heart.The incompetent person who was rejected by him met the producer who he hated, the two people he hated the most.

A nameless newcomer with no roots and no foundation, who has never been verified by the market, gave her such an unreasonable promotional specification as soon as she made a move. No matter how you look at it, it is just that slippery kid with a feverish head. He is eager to open the solo market, so he doesn't care about it.

Relying on a bit of successful experience in making bands, he just acted like this, and no one in the entire GENZO stopped him?Or, the GENZO record company is actually the voice of Shinichi Iwahashi?
It's really outrageous!
The two annoying people are colluding, and the propaganda battle is beyond the standard. Even in the past few days, when Nagato Taiko came to the company by car, he could see a huge promotional photo of Dai Kuroki on the promotional board on the top of the opposite building. He couldn't help but Do not feel irritable.

However, thinking about it the other way around, if Dai Kuromoji's debut performance is a sudden death, Iwahashi Shinichi's reckless advance this time will become a big joke in the industry.Not only must it become a laughingstock, such a major mistake, his company's relations must not remain indifferent.

At that time, double hate will become double refreshing!
Nagato Taiyuki thought so, secretly looking forward to the scene after the official release of Daikoku Moji's single and the release of the real money sales report card.

Of course, waiting to see the excitement is like waiting for a dessert that has just entered the oven to be baked, and the anticipation returns to anticipation, but in the waiting time, what to do, and make your own plan step by step.

Taiko Nagato persuaded Noboru Uesugi to join VERMILLION Records, with him as the lead singer, and selected the original BEING era musician Kosuke Oshima as the keyboard player, and recruited Hiroshi Shibazaki, who was discovered at about the same time as Noboru Uesugi, as the guitarist , with the lineup of these three people, formed a band called WANDS.

Let Uesugi Noboru, a beautiful man, stand in the center, and Shibazaki Hiroshi and Oshima Kosuke serve as the two green leaves to set off him.This triangle station method can make the position where the lead singer stands shine.

A three-member lineup, imitating BOOWY's stage image, and then choosing a suitable debut single from Oda Tetsuro's inventory...

Obviously aiming at BOOWY, but you want to sing a song written by someone else when you debut?

So what's the problem?

First of all, none of the three members of WANDS has written a song that can serve as the title song of the single.Secondly, for the most important debut, we must strive to be safe, and use the songs of a certified best-selling composer like Oda Tetsuro to open up popularity.

These are put on the bright side and said to everyone.

As for the third reason...

The phone on the desk rang.It was the clerk who told him that Noboru Uesugi, Hiroshi Shibazaki, and Kosuke Oshima came to visit together.Nagato was not surprised. He put down the phone and met the three young men in the small reception room next to the office.

"President."

Three young people, one in his early twenties and the other two in his early twenties, who had just entered the music world, faced Taiyuki Nagato, who discovered them, with respect and respect.

The three young people came together to invite Nagato Taiyuki to listen to the song they co-created last week.This kind of thing, since the decision to form WANDS, they have come to hand in homework every week.Nevertheless, Nagato decided to make the band's debut single sing Oda Tetsuro's song.

The day of their debut is approaching, and the band has already got the songs they want to sing.The title song is provided by Tetsuro Oda, and the B-side song is provided by the composer Masasumi Ozawa who has been incorporated into the VERMILLION record since the BEING era.

Of the three members of the band, the only one who has anything to do with creation is that Noboru Uesugi was allowed to participate in the lyrics.Anyway, it's a band.It would be a bit shameful if other lyricists had to provide even the lyrics.

However, whether it is Noboru Uesugi or the two teammates, the three young people have very strong personalities. After deciding to sing the song of Oda Tetsuro for their debut, during this period, they seemed to be proving themselves to Nagato Taiko Hand in homework frequently and keep creating.

Noboru Uesugi is full of self-awareness, his personality is as unruly as his appearance, but he is too simple.Because of this, it gave Nagato Taiko the inspiration to persuade him to act according to his own plan, and then formed WANDS, which decided the band's debut.

Nagato Taiko accepted the homework of the three young people this week, listened carefully in front of them, first praised the progress in it, and then pointed out some problems with the piece.After all, he is a producer who has been in the industry for many years and is somewhat famous in the industry, so it is easy to give advice to newcomers.

Nagato Taiko accepted this week's homework, and several young people also saluted him and said goodbye as they did a few times before.After the young people left, he pressed the play button again and listened to the tape again.

It's a remarkable song.These three young people are not without creative talent.But the more self-aware they are, the more they want to prove themselves so strongly, the more Nagato Taiko wants to play their songs back.

If a band can even accept the fact that their debut single will sing a song provided by a best-selling composer, then it will be under his control.

If a disobedient horse is not tamed, it cannot be entrusted with important tasks.

Although B'z is Nagato Taiko's card with the highest points in VERMILLION, but Matsumoto Takahiro is full of assertiveness, his face is calm, and he still goes his own way afterwards, and Inaba Hiroshi even follows him, and the two vent their anger through one nostril , It's not something Nagato Taiyuki can handle at all.

It took a lot of effort to convince B'z to participate in last year's Red and White Song Concert.

Takahiro Matsumoto couldn't decide, and Tetsuro Oda was thinking about something. When Taiko Nagato was selecting a newcomer, he had to consider whether he could fully control the development path of his singers and decide what singers could and couldn't do. .

Taiko Nagato does not think that he is an unreasonable talker, or has a strong desire to control, but, from the bottom of his heart, he wants to practice the saying "singer is a commodity".

Now is the critical moment.

B'z is a good card he brought with him. After "Let's Dance Together", BBQQUEENS is obviously going to be reduced to a house.The performance of REV centered on Nagayama Yoko is hovering in the second line, unable to rank among the top.

It is true that the territory of VERMILLION Records comes from BEING, but if you fail to make some achievements, your authority will gradually dissipate. When that happens, something big will definitely happen.Nagato Taiko needs to launch another first-line band to stabilize his position.

In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to hold a band that is both obedient and spiritual.

Taiyuki Nagato's famous work as a producer is the band. At this moment, when the band is booming, naturally he will not change his goal.

Thinking that he is also a band producer, first he was taken over by Shinichi Iwahashi, and now, that slippery boy is afraid that the world will not know how to hype his new female solo, Nagato Taiyuki laughed at him for being hot-headed, but also in his heart , There is a feeling of being thrown away by him again.

Because of this, he wanted to see Yanqiao Shinichi's embarrassed appearance after he failed in this reckless step.

In any case, Nagato Taiyuki couldn't think of how dare Iwahashi Shinichi have such confidence in a girl like Okuro Maki who is as ordinary as a potato?
It was this young man who was too conceited and believed in his own vision of people.Or is it because of being too conceited, being dazzled by the reputation of the Golden Hand, thinking that he can really turn decay into magic?
What are you kidding? !

That Dahei Moji is unlikely to be successful!

……

In the last half of January, Nagato Taiko went back and forth between the company and the recording studio, personally checking the debut single of WANDS. During this period, he met with important people in the industry and held meetings within the company to decide the next newcomer to debut. .

Eggs cannot be put in the same basket, there are WANDS, there must be others.

And while he was busy with his official business, he was secretly looking forward to it, waiting for a piece of good news that would let him breathe a sigh of relief——

With the arrival of a new week, Nagato Taiko opened the newspaper early in the morning, and on the entertainment page, Daikoku Moji's ordinary face was published on the newspaper.His eyes fell on the title of the article.

"Achieved the No.1 record in the singles chart after debut, a miraculous newcomer, Dahei Moji!"

Taiko Nagato's heart skipped a beat, the coffee that had just flowed down his throat rolled in his stomach.He suppressed his displeasure, and scanned the report quickly and carefully.

Daikoku Moji's debut single, once released, got an initial record of about 19 copies, ranking No.1 on the singles chart.

It is reported that additional orders for this single from record stores have been sent to GENZO. In the week of release, the printing house urgently reprinted this single.

At the end of the article, it is mentioned: "Dakoku Moki is a newcomer who is in charge of the whole process by the famous producer Shinichi Iwahashi. As another supernova launched by GENZO, the super-scale publicity before his debut has become a topic for a while. But seeing This achievement, such a standard of publicity, matches the brilliance displayed by Daheisang himself."

"...Dahei Sang's success can be seen from the famous producer Yanqiao, even if he is producing a solo singer, he is no problem."

For a newcomer with the label of Shinichi Iwahashi making it, it is impossible not to write about Shinichi Iwahashi in the report.The media that has a good relationship with GENZO will praise him, and those who have a bad relationship with GENZO will either mention it briefly, or ridicule his vigorous propaganda methods.

However, no matter whether it is praise, derogation or ignorance, Dahei Moji succeeded.This slippery boy didn't miss him this time either.

Taiko Nagato finished reading the newspaper, picked up his coffee cup, and took a sip before realizing that the coffee had started to get cold.With a blank expression on his face, he swallowed the lukewarm coffee, and when he lowered his head, it was the title in bold font, as well as Daihei Moji's mediocre face.

"A miraculous newcomer, Dai Hemoki!"

He didn't miss Iwahashi Shinichi who picked up this girl who was rejected by him and arranged for her a super-standard debut promotion.

So, who in the end looked wrong?

He closed the newspaper, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down.

……

At 09:30 in the morning, Taiko Nagato appeared in the building of VERMILLION Records.He took the elevator to the floor where his office was located.

In the morning, when I saw the news headlines, I felt unhappy in my heart.But as his mood gradually calmed down, Nagato Taiko also slowly thought about it.

The success of the debut single of Dai Kuromoki did not depend on the topicality brought about by that slippery boy Shinichi Iwahashi who made a fuss and made a lot of hype.This single became popular, who knows what will happen with the next one?
The sales piled up by the propaganda bombing is equivalent to overdrafting the sales that would have been sold in the next few weeks, and replaced it with a good initial performance and ranking, and then, maybe it will be beaten back to its original shape immediately.

Besides, for such a scale of publicity, the funding is not small.With that little sales, I don’t know if the cost will be recovered.

Since it was a matter of the right time and place, Nagato Daxing didn't take it so seriously.Right now, it's time to focus on my own affairs. Next month, WANDS' debut single will be released.

Regarding the promotional specifications of WANDS debut...

Even Dahei Moji can become a "new star" by bombarding him indiscriminately. Do you want to think about it?This idea appeared in Nagato Taiko's mind, but he rejected it again.This kind of hot-headed propaganda is too risky.

Fortunately for him, he is not an adventurer like that slippery boy.

This time, we must successfully create the band WANDS!Taiko Nagato summoned up his confidence.

……

Taiko Nagato is definitely not the only one who pays attention to Daikoku Moji's debut performance.

Ever since Iwahashi Shinichi adopted that kind of publicity standard, the entire record industry has almost been staring at him and Daikoku Maki, waiting to see whether this is the decisiveness of a famous producer, or is it caused by blind arrogance joke.

And when the statistics of the initial performance of Dahei Moji's new single came out, it seemed that he had the answer.Of course, it seems too early to draw conclusions now, and the influence of the topic degree brought about by large-scale publicity must be taken into account.

But if you are in the industry, you can get more specific statistics if you inquire carefully.Once the initial sales of singles come out, combined with other data and performance, the industry can roughly know what it is.

After the week of the release of the debut single, the popularity of Daihei Moji has not been affected as the large-scale publicity before the debut began to withdraw one after another.There was a steady stream of record stores adding orders, and even the stores that had previously stood still could not sit still.In the streets and alleys, on the radio stations, there are opportunities to hear this song being played everywhere.

The topic of this newcomer who turned out to be born out of nowhere has become more and more popular among the public.

And in the second-hand record market, there are not many new singles by Dahei Moji.

A record with little publicity and no quality will be sent to a vintage record store that week.By counting the number of records recovered by second-hand record stores and comparing them with the actual sales figures, we can know whether this single has been recognized by the audience.

Perhaps the high sales volume of the first move is due to the previous publicity, but the subsequent recognition from the audience confirms that Daikoku Moji's talent has been affirmed by the audience.

This plate of dishes served in front of the public seems to satisfy the tastes of most people...

However, to really confirm this, we need to see the specific trend of single sales in the next few weeks.
