The reason why Akiyama Kazuki was so eager to make his novel into a film and television was because of the vague sense of crisis.

Through the conversation with Nagato Taiko, it can be seen that perhaps in the next few years, the focus of Being's work will shift to Osaka.

If it's purely as an artist, it doesn't make much difference to be active in Tokyo or Osaka.

After all, as a singer, it doesn't matter where you record, as long as the sales channels for your works are there.

But this year he just established his own music production company and film and television investment company, as well as a newly transformed firm.

All of this is based on the network of contacts in Tokyo, including real estate funds.

If he transfers to Osaka, all his foundations will be wiped out, and he will become a rootless apple again.

Moreover, as a person born in Tokyo, the original body didn't really want to leave here and go to Osaka, a place he didn't know well.

Therefore, in the next two to three years, I must let my own office and production company take root in Tokyo, at least to meet the conditions for self-reliance.

In this way, even if he doesn't have Being as his backing in the future, he doesn't have to worry about survival.

In addition, Nagato Taiko's experience also reminded him that the entertainment industry is not a harmonious scene.

One day in the future, maybe someone will come up with their own ideas.

Then, if you have your own business background, you won’t have to worry about the various challenges you may encounter.

In fact, as far as novels are concerned, it is generally two or three years after they are officially released that they will be turned into film and television.

It is the normal operation in the industry to leave enough time to accumulate its influence and then adapt it.

But Kazuki Akiyama couldn't wait that long, and it was only right to light up his own sign as soon as possible. In some dialects of his previous life, it was a 'vertical flag'.

Although Shunji Iwai promised him to direct this work, it didn't start right away.

The preparation of a film begins with the preparatory stage.

The most important task before him was of course the script. Although Kazuki Akiyama had already written a rough idea, it was still far from a real professional script.

So Shunji Iwai took the novel and Kazuki Akiyama's rough version of the script back that day, preparing for reprocessing.

As for Kazuki Akiyama's main PV, he gave it to one, Xing Dingxun, the director's assistant he met when he was filming the "Fireworks" unit drama.

...

In Minami Aoyama, Minato-ku, there is a record company called 'AVEX' in a small red seven-story office building.

Before moving in last May, it was a small record studio in Machida, on the southwestern edge of Tokyo.

"YU-KI, have you watched today's "Mainichi Shimbun"?" Etsuko Nishioka, with short hair, happily caught up with Yuki Kitamura, who was humming a tune.

"Hey, I haven't had time to watch it yet. What happened?" Bei Cun Xiqi, who also had short hair, showed gossip in his eyes. Could it be that colleague who cheated and was caught again?
"Hey" Etsuko Nishioka unfolded the newspaper and handed it to her with a mysterious expression, "Kazuki Akiyama's record sales exceeded [-] million!"

"Si Guo Yi Nei~" Beicun Xiqi picked up the newspaper and looked at the huge headline, and couldn't help sighing.

"Awesome!" Etsuko Nishioka expressed admiration, "It's only been about a year and a half since his debut, and the total sales of singles have exceeded 1000 million, making him the artist with the fastest sales of over [-] million in music history.

From the third single to the seventh, the sales of five consecutive singles have exceeded one million.

And that's not counting the two million-dollar singles he's co-starred with, which is amazing.It will be great when we can reach this height. "

"How is that possible? That's Kazuki Akiyama." Yuki Kitamura looked at Etsuko Nishioka's girl-like expression, and couldn't help breaking her whims.

"That might be it." A clear and magnetic voice sounded behind them.

"Komuro-san" Yuki Kitamura and Etsuko Nishioka turned their heads and bowed their heads to say hello when they saw the producer of their own group.

"YU-KI, ETSU, are you ready to welcome your era?"

Tetsuya Komuro smiled confidently, and glanced at the headline on the newspaper in their hands, "It's only 1000 million, don't be scared by bigger numbers in the future."

After speaking, he walked towards the end of the corridor on his own, "trf's next single will be released soon, please prepare well."

"Hay" Kitamura Yuki and Nishioka Etsuko bowed to his back, looked at each other again, and shrugged each other.

"Boom, boom, please come in"

"It's Komuro-san." Yida Tatsumi took off his glasses and rubbed the center of his brows, then got up and enthusiastically motioned Komuro Tetsuya to sit on the sofa next to him.

"Yida-san, Matsuura-san" Komuro Tetsuya and the two people in the office greeted each other.

"I heard that Komuro-san plans to release trf's two new singles in May and June respectively. Isn't that too risky?"

Tatsumi Yida raised his hand as a 'please' gesture to the coffee in front of Komuro.

"After all..." Tatsumi Yida paused, and continued to speak, "After all, Kazuki Akiyama's new single will be around June, and of course Komuro-san's talent is beyond doubt.

It's just that the market needs to be left long enough to ferment, so that the benefits can be maximized. "

Tetsuya Komuro rolled his throat, "Yida-san, after the foreshadowing of the previous singles, the market is now mature.

trf is also well-known enough to sustain the release of two consecutive singles.

Moreover, fast-paced music such as electronic dance music is very suitable for "group bombing". The intensive appearance in a short period of time can quickly cultivate the listening habit of the audience.

Intensive release is a perfect operation method, please do not change the release date. "

"But..." Tatsumi Yida was still a little confused, after all, Kazuki Akiyama's name was too famous, and now everyone consciously avoided releasing singles at the same time as him.

After all, no one has trouble with money, especially the president Sang who aims to make a profit from the record.

"Yida-san, Komuro-san's accomplishments in electronic dance music are obvious to all. Since Komuro-san said so, he must be quite sure."

Katsuto Matsuura, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke in support of Komuro.

"In this case, let's arrange it according to Komuro-san's wishes." With the insistence of the two key figures in AVEX, Yoda Tatsumi did not object any more.

He is very clear that AVEX, which is in its infancy, cannot do without Tetsuya Komuro, who has creative talent, and cannot withstand internal conflicts.

Therefore, I decisively chose to follow the good example, and I can only hope that Kazuki Akiyama will come to Waterloo once, so that AVEX can ride the wind smoothly.

After leaving the office, Matsuura Katsuto and Komuro Tetsuya walked and chatted.

"Komuro-san, how sure are you about trf's new single?"

"I usually go to dance halls, where electronic dance music is very popular.

trf's performance last year was not bad, and it has gained a certain popularity. Coupled with the innovative stage performance, it will definitely be a blockbuster and will be very popular among young people. "

"That way I'm relieved."

Speaking of, Matsuura Katsuto and Komuro Tetsuya are both teachers and friends. A large part of the reason why Komuro chose to do electronic dance music at the beginning was because of Matsuura Katsuto's suggestion.

So in private, their relationship is very good, but there is still one sentence that Tetsuya Komuro didn't say.

What he really cares about is not Kazuki Akiyama, but Taiyuki Nagato who set off the so-called storm of Being.
