Chapter 191 The man's smile

He really didn't worry about it anymore, but when he told Nagato Taiyuki the news of the cooperation, Nagato Taiyuki became the one who worried.

"Collaboration single?" Nagato Taiyuki took the manuscript paper that recorded the score from Kazuki Akiyama.

"Yes. I was inspired by talking about summer with Kuwata-san and Fukuyama-san. The lyrics were written by Kuwata-san and Fukuyama-san."

If you want to release this single in June, you need to finalize the cooperation as soon as possible.

Of course, these communications with other offices need to be arranged by Nagato Oshin.

"It's a good song." Nagato Daxin admired it, and at the same time secretly thought it was a pity.

The style of this song is somewhat different from Kazuki Akiyama's previous J-POP style, and it has a style of new music from the 80s and [-]s.

It may be a bit retro now, but just the lively and beating melody will remind people of the hot summer enthusiasm.

It is a pity that this is not his solo single, and Being is not solely responsible for the record production.

With a combination like Yoshisuke Kuwata, Kazuki Akiyama, and Masaharu Fukuyama, Nagato Oshin couldn't see the attractive money scene.

Not to mention how the sales will explode, but making money is absolutely guaranteed.

A thing that can definitely make money, and the rate of return is not low, no one will refuse.

It's just that the three of them belong to three different record companies, and the cake they can share is much smaller.

Thinking of this, Nagato Daxin sighed again, "Qiu Shan-kun, if you have a good song in the future, you might as well think about the company's interior first.

Inaba-kun, Rising-kun, Moriyou-kun, and Moji are all good at writing lyrics.

Especially Quanshui Jiang is an expert in this field, you can communicate more. "

Kazuki Akiyama blinked his eyes, I will take it seriously when you say that.

"Understood, I will communicate more with Ms. Sakai and the others. If there are suitable songs, I will give priority to friends in the same agency."

Only then did Nagato Daxin nod his head in satisfaction, the fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields.

So much small money slips away from your eyes, and being picked up by others is more uncomfortable than losing money yourself.

Akiyama Kazuki couldn't help but think of Sakai spring water in his heart, um, the fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields.

Because time is not abundant, the three record companies quickly sat together and started negotiations on the cooperation single.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Kazuki Akiyama, and the division of interests should be left to the president-san to worry about.

It goes without saying that Amuse, Being, and Sony all want to obtain the production rights of the records. According to normal market rules, when the record company releases the record, it has obtained the audio-visual management right of the song by default.

A series of subsequent royalties, such as copyright fees generated by records, TV broadcasts, song orders, advertisements, etc., are basically taken away by record companies.

Of course, this cooperation cannot be discussed simply and rudely in this way, after a lot of verbal and verbal scenes.

In the end, the record production rights were won by Sony Music. A giant like Sony had a big business, and promised various benefits before the other two gave up the competition for record production rights.

With the finalization of specific matters of cooperation, the meeting came to an end.

Kazuki Akiyama stood up and was about to leave when a middle-aged man in his thirties in a suit and leather shoes came in front of him.

"Akiyama-kun has been admiring you for a long time. I am Kazuo Hirai, the head of Sony Music's marketing department." The long-faced middle-aged man bowed and handed over his business card with both hands.

"Hello, please take care of me." Kazuki Akiyama took the business card and handed over his own.

"It's a great honor to be able to cooperate with Qiushan-kun this time, I've wanted to meet Qiushan-kun for a long time, and I'm also your fan.

It's a pity that it has been difficult to make the trip, but this cooperation is a surprise. "

Speaking of this, the long-faced middle-aged man actually smiled a little shyly, perhaps because of his shyness, the smile seemed particularly friendly.

For some reason, seeing his smile, Kazuki Akiyama always felt vaguely familiar.

"It is also my honor to be favored by Hirai-san."

Kazuki Akiyama was also a little awkward being told by a middle-aged uncle that he was his fan, and he couldn't tell what it was like, especially that magical smile.

Kazuo Hirai seemed to simply come over to say hello to his favorite singer, and chatted with Kazuki Akiyama about music.

He thought he was here to build a relationship with him. In the time of this meeting, he no longer knew how many business cards he had received and how many times he owed money.

Especially the people of Amuse, the intention of making friends is almost undisguised.The staff of Being looked black for a while.

"Akiyama-kun seems to be very good at composing Absolute Music?" Kazuo Hirai suddenly talked to him about music creation.

Absolute music is what we usually call pure music, only the melody without lyrics.

"I made a few pieces of music by chance." It's hard to say what he is good at, he replied ambiguously.

"If Akiyama-kun is interested, I wonder if he can consider making theme music for animation or games.

Of course, we are also interested in collaborating on the pieces that Akiyama-kun has already completed. "

Kazuo Hirai didn't talk to Kazuki Akiyama about his personal record cooperation, and the bigger companies in the industry didn't know that his record contract hadn't expired yet.

Even if we want to talk about it, it is not now. It is estimated that many companies will come to our door as soon as next year. Of course, this is a later story.

On the contrary, Kazuo Hirai is very optimistic about Kazuki Akiyama's attainments in pure music. The few pure music he has released now, even a layman like Kazuo Hirai knows that they are good songs.

And he also found that these pure music are especially suitable for animation or game background music.

You must know that Sony Music is not only engaged in the record distribution business, but also includes the production of various animation game music.

So he took the initiative to come to the door and talked with Kazuki Akiyama about the cooperation in this part of music production.

With cooperation, there will naturally be contacts.After getting acquainted with each other, build mutual trust, and then talk about other cooperation, isn't it a matter of course.

"There are several songs that I have, and I personally welcome the cooperation with your company.

As for the music production of animation and games, I will also carefully consider it. If there is a plan for this step, Hirai-san will definitely be given priority. "

My AKKA personal office has been responsible for the copyright management of the songs I have composed now.

It has also been bought by many advertisements, animations, and games. Now that a giant like Sony comes to him, of course there is no reason to refuse.

Because some royalties are calculated based on the number of uses, the more used it generates more royalties, and the more he earns.

With Sony's publicity and distribution channels, if his songs are used, the frequency of use will definitely be many times that of now.

Who would have trouble with money? He welcomed this cooperation with both hands.

As for inviting himself to be an animation music producer, to be honest, he is also tempted, but he really can't spare the time now.

Filming in the first half of the year, album production in the second half, and an uncertain concert.These all take a lot of time and energy to complete.

Human energy is limited, and this year is the year when my recording career will explode, so I still need to focus on this basic disc.

As for the behind-the-scenes work of the producer, it is not the main thing I should consider now.

So he had no choice but to decline Kazuo Hirai first, and of course he didn't say anything dead, and he could still cooperate if he had the opportunity in the future.

As long as you keep producing excellent works, it is the best passport.

　thanks for your support!
