old events in tokyo

You must know that going back ten years, there are only a few Japanese local movies that can reach the box office of 40 billion, "The Story of Kittens" and "Heaven and Earth".

Other high-grossing movies are all dominated by foreign paintings. Last year's "Jurassic Park" and the year before last's "Terminator 2" are all the same.

But "Calling Love in the Center of the World" defeated "True Lies" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger in September this year, and "The Great Wind" starring Stallone just released in just one month.

A small fresh pure love movie, defeated two Hollywood muscle superstars one after another.

Not only was the film's production committee elated, but the entire film industry was also elated.

This is a symbol of the shame of Japan's Banghua. At the same time, it also makes the major studios understand that as long as the movie is made well, the audience is willing to enter the movie theater.

This has no absolute causal relationship with whether the movie has superstars or realistic special effects.

Not only the box office of the movie, but also several episodes and theme songs of the movie were sold well.

Kazuki Akiyama's "Close Your Eyes Lightly", Izumi Sakai's "Time Goes By", and Aiko's "Confession of Tears", all three singles broke one million.

A movie has sent all the songs in the movie to millions of sales, and the excellent TIE-UP power is undoubtedly displayed.

Among them, the singles of Akiyama Kazuki and Sakai Izumi were released by Being, but Aiko's "Confession of Tears" was released by Boing Jiali.

Because she only signed a management contract with Kazuki Akiyama's AKKA before, and the record contract has not yet been confirmed.

It's not that there is no choice, but Kazuki Akiyama has his own ideas.But the movie is about to be released, and I'm sorry for my apocalypse if I don't take the opportunity to release a record to make a fortune.

So he found Fuji TV and contacted Boeing Belle Records through them.It is a subsidiary of Fuji Sankei Group, focusing on record distribution.

With the matchmaking of Fuji TV, Kazuki Akiyama signed a single record contract for Aiko and Boeing Belle.

A single-album contract means that only one record release contract is signed, and the contract is automatically terminated after the singer releases a single by the contract company.

This is a kind of temporary record deal, which can be used by certain wealthy owners who want to release their own records at their own expense.

Aiko can be said to be a pure newcomer, without any foundation of popularity.Although Boeing Belle has a big business, they will not do business at a loss.

Therefore, while signing the contract, a clause was also noted.If the sales volume of the released record is less than 30 copies, Kazuki Akiyama needs to subsidize part of the distribution cost.

If the sales volume exceeds 30 copies, the income of both parties will be determined according to the normal record sharing in the industry.

It's a bit similar to the gambling agreement of later generations, except that this contract is much harsher.

Borrowing the huge distribution channels of Boeing Belle, paying is a normal operation.But 30 is a very high threshold for newcomers.

And more than 30 is only divided according to the rules of the industry, which means that the copyright of this single belongs to Boeing Jiali.

However, without his own distribution channels, he could only rely on others, and Kazuki Akiyama insisted on not letting go of Aiko's record contract, so he could only compromise on such a contract in the end.

In fact, such a contract does not mean that Boeing Belle is harsh, but that the entire Japanese music market is like this, and it is the artists who are squeezed the most.

Kazuki Akiyama's EHCO production company can still have a part of the production share, as for Aiko, it only has a pitiful 0.9% share.

This is the reality, and Kazuki Akiyama also came here step by step, so he deliberately pursued independent production, just to get a share of the pie.

And why didn't you choose to put Aiko's record in Being?He would not do the loss-making business of making wedding dresses for others.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of 94. In this year, Kazuki Akiyama's music production company was on the right track, signed the first artist, and released her debut single, which was a great success.

Thanks to the success of the film, Shanshui Yinghua also bid farewell to the shell of the leather bag company, began to officially enter the film production industry, and even began to openly accept the screening of foreign scripts.

94 was also a year of changes in the music world. The Komuro family officially rose, and all three singles of trf entered the top [-] of the year's chart.

Two of the singles broke one million, and the other single is still on the charts. Trf has become a well-known band in Japan.

Tetsuya Komuro's single "Love, Heartbreak and Strong" created for female haiku Ryoko Yu Shinohara sold 160 million copies, ranking No.3 in the annual single ranking.

That is to say, from this year, Tetsuya Komuro opened the era of turning stones into gold.

Other singers and artists also released their brilliance wantonly, Matsutani Yumi, Kuwata Yuka, DTC Band, Chuck and Asuka all achieved good results.

Although artists of the Being series no longer occupy half of the music scene as they did last year, the brilliance of their singers is still continuing.

The other is Kazuki Akiyama. Although his main focus this year is on movies, there is still no shortage of his active presence in the music world.

The two singles created for Chisato Moritaka and SMAP have already exceeded one million. This is the first time that Chisato Moritaka has achieved a million, and it is the second time for SMAP to achieve a million.

Counting the episode "Confession of Tears" sung by Aiko for the movie, there are three million-dollar singles.

For a while, he and Xiaoshi became the music producers with the best-selling singles this year. Although they are relatively young as producers, their achievements in the past are not to be underestimated.

And the album he released also continued last year's glory, and the first one sold well.

However, he also met his strong rival Mr. Kid Band this year. The single "Robinson" narrowly lost 181.2 million copies of Mr. Kid's "Innocent World" by [-] copies, ranking second on the annual singles list.

However, he is still one step ahead in terms of total record sales, and won the first place in record sales in 600 with 94 million copies.

And the outside world also faintly distinguishes him from Being, and makes separate comments.

One is that his style is far from the traditional Being flavor, and many people think that he is not a pure Being singer.

And this year he's officially taking on the role of music producer, both for his own records and for others.Coupled with his establishment of his own music production company, the outside world generally believes that this is a symbol of his preparation to start his own business.

But Kazuki Akiyama didn't make any distinctions about it, because he was busy celebrating at the moment.

What to celebrate, of course, is the box office hit of the movie.According to the current momentum, there will definitely be a big increase in the new year.
