Chapter 174 All-time High
"90!" Ishida Takumi's excited voice came from the phone.

Not to mention Ishida Takumi, even Akiyama Kazuki himself felt a little incredible.

What is the concept of 90, 90 can already be ranked in the top fifteen of the ORICON singles list in 1992.

This is only a one-week result, and it is already so close to the number of million sales.

After hanging up the phone, Kazuki Akiyama became more and more excited as he thought about it.He simply got dressed, left the apartment and went straight to BEING headquarters.

The place where I live now is in the port area, so it is very close to BEING company, but I have already arrived at the downstairs of the company in 10 minutes.

Just when I entered the front desk, I ran into Nagato Taiyuki, "Akiyama-kun is here just in time, let's go to my office together."

He was also accompanied by his teacher Akashi Masao. After Akiyama Kazuki greeted them, he went upstairs with them to Nagato Taiko's office.

After entering the office, the secretary first poured a cup of coffee for each of them, and then quietly backed out.

"Akiyama-kun must have known it too." Nagato Taiyuki handed a fax to Kazuki Akiyama with a smile.

Kazuki Akiyama looked at the data in detail, and the accurate sales volume was around 90 copies.

Although he had heard the news in advance, the hand holding the fax was still trembling with excitement.

90, the sales of many singers' singles throughout the year are beyond reach, but now he has easily reached it, which makes him feel emotional.

Of course, this figure is incomparable to the sales of some groups in the later generations that are close to 200 million in a single week, but it is especially rare in this era.

"Qiu Shan-kun, the next stage of work is mainly the production of the album.

Akashi-san will fully support the arrangement of this album, and of course Hayama-san will also help Akiyama-kun. "

Nagato Taiko's performance on Akiyama Kazuki's music can no longer be described as satisfactory.

When he signed Kazuki Akiyama, he just thought that he was a newcomer with potential, and maybe he would become popular in the future.

Whether it's appearance, voice, or creative talent, the performance of the first two singles has confirmed my guess and vision.

But since the third single, Kazuki Akiyama's performance has faintly broken, and his own perception of him at the beginning.

The reason is that since then, he has been able to pull TIE-UP for his single.

This has been the case for the fifth single until now.More importantly, the sales volume of each single is better than one.

These all indirectly prove Kazuki Akiyama's ability in single production and promotion.

If it's just musical talent, he'd be happy to see it succeed.But the business performance is so impressive, Nagato Taiyuki can't help feeling a little worried.

That's why he was so generous in the promotion of the latest single this time, arranging for Kazuki Akiyama all the way to the end, and BEING was responsible for all the expenses.

"President Nagato, please rest assured about the album, the songs are almost ready to be decided.

At that time, I will send it to President Nagato for clarification. As for the arrangement, I will have to trouble Akashi-sensei and Hayama-san. "

Because this is my first album, all the songs are original, and it took me a lot of effort to finalize them.

"Don't worry, Qiushan, my main work for the next period of time will be the production of your album.

As a teacher, I also want to see how the students are doing in the arrangement. "After speaking, Akashi Masao laughed very heartily.

He is still busy with the production of ZARD's single and album for the time being, but the second half of the year can be free.

"There is one more thing, I hope Mr. Akiyama can think about it carefully." Suddenly Nagato Taiyuki mentioned another sentence.

"Hay" Akiyama Kazuki nodded, and his expression became serious.

"That is, I hope that Mr. Qiushan can focus on music, and as for acting, I can try it occasionally. After all, filming a TV series takes too much time.

Akiyama-kun's real talent lies in music, not comedians and the like. "

Masao Akashi next to him nodded in approval when he heard Taiyuki Nagato's words. He had also persuaded Kazuki Akiyama to say something similar.

On the one hand, Nagato Taiko does think that Kazuki Akiyama is more likely to succeed in music.

On the other hand, Kazuki Akiyama's film contract fees for filming and accepting commercials have nothing to do with him.

At the beginning, Kazuki Akiyama and BEING signed only a record contract, not including a personal brokerage contract.

If I don’t regret it later, let’s talk about it first, now he just wants Kazuki Akiyama to spend more time on music, because filming has faintly hindered the production of the album.

"President Nagato, please don't worry, after the filming of this drama is finished, I don't plan to accept any more drama appointments for the time being.

At the beginning, I was more just curious, and later I will focus on the production of the album. "

This is also his current plan, and he has been looking forward to his first album for a long time.

Nagato Taiko nodded in satisfaction after hearing his statement, and asked a question at the same time.

"When will Akiyama-kun start the production of the album?"

"Probably around June." At that time, I just finished filming my own drama, so I could concentrate on the production of the album.

"If it's in June..., then it's best to finish the production of the album before September. It will depend on the situation later, whether to hold a concert or not."

Nagato Taiko knocked on the table, set the release date of the album, and the work arrangement for the second half of the year.

"Hay" Kazuki Akiyama nodded excitedly. Is he going to hold his own solo concert? I'm really looking forward to it.

"Oh, that's right. Later, Mr. Qiushan will go to the Finance Department to settle the previous royalties as well."

Before going out, Nagato Taiyuki and Akiyama Kazuki said that today is also the day BEING pays wages to its artists.

"Understood." Hearing this sentence, he became more motivated, and there is nothing more gratifying than receiving money.

When he came to the finance department, he took away his envelope under Miss OL's fanciful eyes.

In fact, he doesn't need to do these things himself, just let the people in his firm handle them. His firm also has its own accountants and even legal consultants.

It's just that I seldom meet them at ordinary times, and with my singles and works, there are more and more.

There are more and more things related to copyright, so someone must be responsible.

Of course, Ishida Takumi is in charge of all these matters. Don't forget that he is also one of the shareholders of the firm, although it is a personal firm with only two shareholders.

Opening the envelope, there was a thick stack of various lists. Kazuki Akiyama found the column he wanted to see with familiarity. He had experience in this matter.

What came into view was a series of zeros, and he counted about 8000 million yen.

Of course, this is pre-tax, and I have to let the office go to the normal tax declaration later, and it is estimated that it will cost about [-]% if it falls into my hands.

Of course, this is only the income from his own records, and does not include other scattered copyright income.

For example, karaoke on-demand, TV broadcast, radio song order, etc., all of which need to be paid to him.

Especially if he is a songwriter, the share will be a little higher, and the royalties for this part of the year are not low.

Counting the income in the second half of last year, my savings have already exceeded [-] million.

In the previous life, I was used to seeing the unit of Renminbi, so I couldn't help but think that it would be great if it was Renminbi, and it doubled more than ten times in an instant.
