Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 873

Oda Tetsuro, who has worked with Nagato Taiko for more than ten years and started a business with him, was dissatisfied with BEING's acceptance of BURNING's inclusion.

Tetsuro Oda is a composer who keeps his ears to the outside world. He has been in BEING for ten years. Although he often does his own way, he has never been involved in the major events of BEING.

It was the same when the former vice president Keiliang Tsukiko and Taiyuki Nagato had a disagreement and quit BEING. It was the same when the music producer Masao Nakajima replaced Keiliang Tsukiko and joined BEING as Taiyuki Nagato's right-hand man.Even if BEING accepted the compilation of BURNING this time and merged into VERMILLION Records, Tetsuro Oda didn't say anything at first.

The contradiction first appeared because BURNING has been involved in copyright management for many years. This time it merged with BEING, and it could not turn a blind eye to the record copyright held by BEING. Therefore, Fang Yuxiong Zhou proposed to lend this copyright to BURNING for operation.Since Nagato Taiko once joined the BURNING department, and now that he has become a retainer, he inevitably wants to take the opportunity to show his loyalty—not to mention, since he has bowed his head and surrendered, it is not easy to keep what he has in hand.

Anyway, the copyright is lent to BURNING for operation, and he also makes money, which is a good business.Nagato Taiko wants to drink broth with Zhou Fang Yuxiong, but this practice has aroused the dissatisfaction of Oda Tetsuro.

Although Nagato Taiko has repeatedly emphasized that he only lends the copyright to BURNING to operate and create more value, but this statement cannot win the trust of Oda Tetsuro.The two had a dispute over this, and although it ended in Nagato Taiko's victory, Oda Tetsuro was not persuaded, but rather reluctantly surrendered under the pressure of his elder brother.

Although in the end, Oda Tetsuro followed Nagato Taiko to become a part of VERMILLION Records, but he became less interested in BEING finally having a record company and being able to flex its muscles.It seems that in the eyes of this stubborn composer, if he is so deeply involved with BURNING, he will lose the opportunity to show his strengths.

Even though Zhou Fang Yuxiong is not the kind of boss who would interfere with creation, but at the beginning of the company's establishment, he was forced to succumb to Nagato Taiyuki on the copyright issue. This feeling of being controlled by others was deeply rooted in Oda Tetsuro's heart, which made him unhappy .

It turned out that when it was only BEING, Oda Tetsuro listened to Nagato Taiyuki's arrangements in everything, and trusted Nagato Taiyuki as his elder brother.However, Oda Tetsuro did not have such trust in Zhou Fangyuxiong.

Whether this matter is a big deal or not, Oda Tetsuro is reluctant, and it will not hinder Nagato Taiyuki's decision-making.Besides, in the past period of time, when the copyright operation started, Tetsuro Oda saw that not only did he not lose money but also made a fortune, he had nothing to say. At that time, the little temper of the artist will naturally disappear.

Nagato Taiko knows Oda Tetsuro well and thinks he can handle him well.

Therefore, although he was troubled by Oda Tetsuro's dissatisfaction, Nagato Taiyuki was not impatient about this matter.He thought to himself, during this period of time, he should communicate more with Oda Tetsuro to calm his emotions.

Oda Tetsuro has an erratic personality, like a cat that was taken in after wandering outside.Therefore, if you want to deal with him, you have to use a way of getting along that has a little sense of distance, but at the same time allows him to feel that he is being cared for.

However, no matter how he is treated, Nagato Taiko will not really let Oda Tetsuro "do as he pleases".

Oda Tetsuro is a genius, no doubt about it.It is difficult for a genius to be understood by the world, and it is not something ordinary people can do to understand and tolerate him.Nagato Taiyuki thinks he has done both.That being the case, it is only natural to collect corresponding returns.

For REV's debut, we still have to count on Oda Tetsuro's songs.

The good thing is that Tetsuro Oda has been in BEING for ten years, and in BEING's music library, he has also saved some of his songs that he bought in advance. It will not be a problem to cultivate a singer band.

As for wanting REV to release songs not written by band members, Nagato Taiyuki doesn't think much of it either.There was a Tube that sang Tetsuro Oda's songs and became popular before, but now there is a REV, so what?

The current band seems to have entered a circle that insists on "self-singing", but it limits many possibilities.Taiko Nagato not only wants to follow in the footsteps of the now popular band, but at the same time, he also wants to expand the road.

Besides, BEING, no, now it's VERMILLION records, and it's not just the composer Oda Tetsuro.And after joining the BURNING department, recruiting newcomers and signing new composers are all within easy reach.

Takahiro Matsumoto and Hiroshi Inaba of B'z, one is responsible for composing music and the other is responsible for writing lyrics. There is a clear division of labor, so don't worry.If this card can be played well, it has a bright future.

It's Yoko Nagayama, the lead singer of REV.Before her debut, Nagato Taiko had to send someone to give her emergency training, and taught her how to write lyrics. Since it is the core of the band, writing lyrics and composing must be the same.What's more, for a band, the style of the lyrics is unified before and after, so that they can build their own style.

As far away as Miyuki Nakajima and Yumi Matsutotani, the two most representative female singer-songwriters, and as far as Sachiko Kamaike of ZARD, who is now promoted by the slippery boy surnamed Iwahashi, the lyrics come from the core of "the same a world".

In addition to the cards in his hand, his debut and upcoming debut, after joining the BURNING department, with sufficient funds and resources, Nagato Taiyuki is about to show his talents.

It is not that the musicians and songwriters who have been signed to BEING have no chance to debut.It is an opportunity to hold external auditions and collaborate with other firms in the BURING department to produce newcomers.

Recently, there was a young man named Uesugi Noboru who studied in the music training class under BEING, and was favored by Nagato Taiyuki.Although this Uesugi Noboru is a bit younger, his personality is not very flexible, and he is a bit stubborn and rebellious.However, since we want to do rock music, it is also a good thing to have personality.

Not only that, he has aura in writing lyrics and good singing skills, and he is quite a tough handsome guy.Nagato Taiyuki, a lifelong member of the Appearance Association, is very satisfied with this outstanding Uesugi Noboru.

Such a young man, who can bump into BEING's hand, Nagato Daxing can't let him go.Although he has not yet signed a contract with BEING and still only goes to BEING's training classes regularly to communicate with BEING's musicians, Nagato Taiyuki also consciously chatted with him and invited him to BEING's recording studio to gradually build trust.

With good cards in hand, there are also many good cards that can be seen and unseen in the future, Nagato Taiko is once again full of ambition.

……

Under REV's overwhelming debut press conference reports, Utoku Keiko's official debut is indeed low-key.Yanqiao Shinichi also felt the same after reading the newspaper of the day.

Even so, anyway, he didn't plan to arrange Utoku Keiko's intensive publicity period at this time, it doesn't matter whether it is in the limelight or not.

Besides, since we want to sell creative female solo singers, patience is necessary.If the three singles fail to sell, they will hide until the end of the contract or rush back to their hometown directly. That was the way of promoting idols a few years ago.

However, the lead singer of REV chose female idol Nagayama Yoko.

Seeing this news, Yanqiao Shinichi was somewhat surprised.There is an unexpected and reasonable feeling.Yoko Nagayama is a singer signed to the headquarters of BURNING. She hasn't achieved much in recent years, and it's normal to seek transformation.

The female idol turned to be the lead singer of the band, and I don't know what kind of music this REV will make.

In the age of Changshan Yangzi idols, singing skills were among the best among idols of the same period. It is not difficult to be the lead singer of a band.Moreover, she has been dead for a long time, and she has no fans who are holding her back. If she doesn't transform, she will have to go back to her hometown to get married.In addition, the most important thing is that in her idol era, she did not establish a style that was so clear that people who had seen her idol look unsuitable once she transformed.

As a result, her lack of popularity and lack of distinctive style became her advantage in changing careers to become the lead singer of a band.

It's not like that Kikuchi Momoko who formed LA·MU—, she changed careers while her popularity was still there, and was boycotted by fans.Of course, it is also related to Kikuchi Momoko's distinctive style in the idol era, and the style of the idol era is too different from the band era.

However, to this day, they have already decided to give up singing and concentrate on acting, and flipping through old calendars is also meaningless.Although it was Kikuchi Momoko herself who took the initiative to bring up the REV reported in the newspaper with great fanfare, and the name of Nagayama Yoko.

Kikuchi Momoko and Nagayama Yoko are the same students who debuted in the same year and the same month.When they first debuted, they also participated in the show together. Although they were not very familiar, they had contact with each other more or less.Although as their respective work got on the right track and the gap between them was widened, there was no chance of seeing each other again, and they were naturally estranged.

"As far as I remember, Yoko-chan was a master at playing the shamisen."

Kikuchi Momoko and Iwahashi Shinichi recalled.She narrowed her eyes, not sure if it was for the convenience of recalling, or because she was satisfied because the food tasted good in her mouth.

She swallowed in a rather ladylike way, and continued, "She seemed to aim to become an enka singer at first, but because she was too young, she was rejected by the company with the phrase 'there are no 16-year-old enka singers'."

Yanqiao Shinichi listened, and echoed, "I remember Sayuri-san Ishikawa, who also debuted as an idol, and later transformed into an enka singer."

"That's right." Kikuchi Momoko nodded, "Yoko-chan also seems to yearn for Ishikawa-san."

However, Yoko Nagayama did not go the way of Sayuri Ishikawa, but became the lead singer of the band.

The two are having lunch together at an Italian restaurant in Roppongi.

Last time, when Kikuchi Momoko teased her and ate the dinner she prepared herself, Iwahashi Shinichi agreed with her to invite her back later as a thank you.

At that time, it was decided that Yanqiao Shenyi was busy with business, so he dragged him out for nearly a month, and he had already forgotten about it.Thinking about it again, it was Momoko Kikuchi who called him and told him that the filming of the TV series he participated in had started.

After receiving the call, Yanqiao Shenyi remembered that he still owed her a meal that had been agreed upon but had not been fulfilled for a long time.

Kikuchi Momoko also felt that calling Shinichi Iwahashi to tell him that the filming of the TV series she participated in was going too deliberately.

When making the phone call, he rehearsed in his mind how to inadvertently remind Yanqiao Shinichi of what he had agreed before.But after making such a phone call, I felt that the awkwardness was too ridiculous.

The person who agreed to invite back was Shinichi Iwahashi.

Instead, she let go of her heart and took the initiative to mention the meal appointment.At that time, on the phone, Yanqiao Shinichi had probably thought of this matter, and when she said it, he obviously heard his voice change.

Being approached, Yanqiao Shinichi also felt a little sorry for delaying the agreed upon matter for so long.He showed a little apology, but Kikuchi Momoko excused him instead, "Recently, I often see information about singers under GENZO on TV or newspapers..."

"Everyone in the company is so busy, you must be busier than everyone else." She is understanding.

Although it was a flattering word, Kikuchi Momoko really thought so in her heart, and she didn't think she was doing it to make a good impression on Iwahashi Shinichi.

She was considerate of Yanqiao Shinichi's busyness, but Yanqiao Shinichi deliberately didn't follow her words to talk about his busyness, just didn't walk up the steps she prepared, but instead changed the subject and talked about the meal that had been delayed for almost a month. .Don't talk about your own busyness, in this approach, there is a sense of polite alienation implied.

"What's Kikuchi-san's favorite dish?" he asked.

But Kikuchi Momoko refused to choose by herself, "Since Yanqiao-san returned the invitation, I will leave it to Yanqiao-san." On the phone, she said briskly, "I trust Yanqiao-san's taste."

"Besides," she repeated, "it doesn't matter if it's for common taste or for something gorgeous."

Kikuchi Momoko's words were loose, and since that was the case, Iwahashi Shinichi set up the time and place of the meal with her on the phone.After setting the time, he first called the restaurant to make a reservation.

……

After lunch, Kikuchi Momoko's manager came to pick her up.This afternoon, Kikuchi Momoko is filming a TV series.The first episode of the TV series she participated in aired on July [-]th, and there is still one and a half months before the broadcast.

Before the official broadcast, she had to film the first five episodes first, and then filmed the remaining half after the TV series started broadcasting.This time, she acted as the second-hander, and the role was very heavy, and she was quite busy.

Yanqiao Shinichi asked her politely, "How is the shooting going?"

Kikuchi Momoko replied, "The first day went well and was praised by the director."

Iwahashi Shinichi nodded politely, "Really?"

As a result, she changed the subject, "At that time, I was still proud of myself, thinking that there was nothing difficult. As a result, I showed timidity in the next shoot."

Kikuchi Momoko showed a somewhat frustrated expression, "I am not an actor from a theater troupe, and I haven't honed in from small roles, and I am not a natural actor... So, I have to work hard on the one hand, and on the other hand, I am also affected by my state. .”

She was serious and confided to Iwahashi Shinichi about her troubles as the second fan for the first time.

"What role is Kikuchi-san playing?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked casually.

She told Shinichi Iwahashi, "She is a woman who works in a magazine and is about to get married. She hopes to continue working in her beloved editorial department after marriage and not go home to be a housewife."

"I see." He nodded.

I thought to myself, it is quite typical in this day and age.
