Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 578 Why not give up the whole world for this man!
After Cao Zhiqiang signed and stamped the contract, he was about to hand it to Kodansha editor Yuno Watanabe when the doorbell rang again.

Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback, and was about to stand up to open the door, but Nakamori Akina said first, "No, I'll do it."

After finishing speaking, Nakamori Akina took small steps, quickly came to the door, and then gently opened a crack in the door.

As a result, Nakamori Akina opened the door and found that it was an acquaintance.

"Mr. Tomioka, why are you here?"

That's right, the person who rang the doorbell turned out to be Nobuo Tomioka, the head of the publicity section of Warner Pioneer Records and the person in charge of Cao Zhiqiang's project.

Seeing that it was Akina Nakamori who opened the door, Nobuo Tomioka was not surprised, but just laughed: "Why, can't I come?"

"No, no." Akina Nakamori smiled and shook her head quickly, "It's just that I was a little surprised to meet you at this time."

Nobuo Tomioka chuckled: "It's normal, because I came here specially to find Cao Sang, by the way, Cao Sang is at home, right?"

"Ah, here." Nakamori Akina nodded, "Mr. Tomioka, please come in."

Nobuo Tomioka smiled and nodded: "Excuse me."

After Tomioka Nobuo entered the room familiarly, he found that Cao Zhiqiang was sitting on the sofa entertaining guests.

"Oh, so there are guests." Nobuo Tomioka smiled politely at Cao Zhiqiang, "Then I'll wait."

At this time, Cao Zhiqiang also saw Nobuo Tomioka, and knew that the other party must have something to do with him, so he nodded at Yuno Watanabe and said: "Mr. Watanabe, please check the contract first, if there is any problem, I will go there first."

"Ah, please go ahead." Yuno Watanabe stood up politely and nodded to Cao Zhiqiang.

After nodding to Cao Zhiqiang and greeting each other with a half bow to Nobuo Tomioka, Yuno Watanabe took his seat again and carefully read the contract.

How should I put it, whether the Japanese in the 80s should say it or not, this etiquette is really in place.

Even if Nobuo Tomioka and Yuno Watanabe don't know each other, since they met, they have to bow to each other, and then sit down without disturbing each other.

Unless Cao Zhiqiang intends to introduce them to them, whether it is Yuno Watanabe or Nobuo Tomioka, it is not easy to make friends with each other, especially in other people's homes.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang has no intention of introducing them, after all, the two are not on the same channel, and Cao Zhiqiang is too lazy to introduce them.

At this time, Nobuo Tomioka had already sat down at the table, and Cao Zhiqiang also sat opposite him.

As for the flower branches and vases on the dining table, they were naturally cleaned up by Nakamori Akina long ago.

After Cao Zhiqiang sat down, he stopped being courteous to Nobuo Tomioka, and asked directly: "Mr. Tomioka, you came to see me for something serious, right? Just talk about business, I don't like politeness."

Nobuo Tomioka was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, then I'll be straight, Cao Sang, I'm here this time to congratulate you."

"Congratulations?" Cao Zhiqiang nodded thoughtfully, "Where does the joy come from? Wait, if you calculate it by the day, it won't be the first sales of "Jun がいるだけで" (as long as you are there) Are you out?"

Nobuo Tomioka laughed: "Cao Sang is really smart, that's right, that's why I came here.

Well, although the initial sales volume of this single album has not been officially announced to the public, and it has not been officially included in Oricon's weekly list, but the results have probably been calculated, and I have already received the results, so this time it will be in advance Congratulations.

Now that Cao Sang, you have already guessed the purpose of my coming, then guess again, how much did your single sell in the first week this time? "

Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while and said, "Well, 30 copies?"

Nobuo Tomioka was stunned: "You really dare to guess."

Indeed, in the early 80s, the sales of records in the Japanese music scene were very sluggish, far less than in the 70s.

During this period, the first week of album sales in the Japanese music scene, if it can exceed 1 copies, it will be on the weekly list of the Oricon chart. If it can exceed [-] copies, it will be in the top ten of the weekly list. [-] copies, basically locked in No.[-].

Cao Zhiqiang just said 30 copies, well, it can’t be said to be unprecedented, but at least since [-], there has not been such a sales volume.

Even the hit song "Sakura" that Cao Zhiqiang gave to Masashi Sada before, the previous initial sales, that is, the sales in the first week, were only 16 copies. This is already the highest sales in the first week since 1983. Works now.

And even now, the hot period of the song "Sakura" has passed, but it can still stay within the top [-] of the Oricon list, which means that it has successive sales of at least [-] copies every week. It can be said that It is a very good result.

It is precisely because of this that Masashi Sada has the confidence to say no to the record company, and to cancel the concert as soon as he said it was cancelled, without being too much trouble.

After all, Masashi Sada is very famous now, and it is true that he is not in good health. He has a doctor's certificate, so it is not easy for the record company to force Masashi Sada to perform the contract.

Therefore, Masashi Sada was very distressed about something, but after being awakened by Cao Zhiqiang, he discussed it with the record company openly, and then with his current popularity, he really easily eliminated the impact of canceling the concert.

What's more, the record company even took advantage of the trend to carry out reverse marketing. While announcing the cancellation of Masashi Sada's concert at Budokan, it also explained why it happened.

To put it simply, it is a miserable sell, saying that Masashi Sada was exhausted from writing songs and practicing, and now he is seriously ill and is being admitted to the hospital for treatment.

The organizer also said that Masashi Sada originally wanted to attend the concert with illness in order to live up to the fans, but the doctor strongly opposed it, so the organizer canceled the concert in tears for the sake of Masashi Sada's health.

In short, the organizer slightly exaggerated Masashi Sada's condition, and described him as an inspirational singer who devoted himself to writing songs and did not want to disappoint his fans. By the way, he also praised the organizer himself, explaining his humanity.

In this way, although they can no longer make money from concerts, they have spread everyone's good reputation and gained a lot of sympathy, which can be said to be a win-win.

Why hasn't Masashi Sada appeared recently?It was because since the announcement came out, too many fans spontaneously went to visit him, and there were so many people in the support club that he had to be re-admitted to the hospital and continued to receive hospital treatment.

Otherwise, the marketing of Masashi Sada, a sick singer, would have failed.

Fortunately, Masashi Sada really has liver disease, it's not fake, it's just not as serious as the rumors from the outside world, so he can go home and rest.

Well now, with such marketing and publicity, Masashi Sada has to be sick even if he is not sick, and he has to be hospitalized even if he doesn't want to be hospitalized. Otherwise, once the human setup collapses and people know that he is a liar, it will be over.

"Why don't you dare?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a slight smile, "Anyway, you let me guess, so I'll guess. What's the problem?"

Tomioka Nobuo nodded: "That's true."

"How much?" It was Akina Nakamori who asked.

She was really curious, and to some extent, she cared more about the initial sales than Cao Zhiqiang.

After all, a wife is more expensive than a husband.

Although Akina Nakamori is not Cao Zhiqiang's wife yet, she has already put herself in this position.

So the better Cao Zhiqiang's grades were, the happier she would be, feeling a sense of pride.

In addition, the song "Kimi がいるだけで" has a special meaning for Akina Nakamori.

Because this is not only Cao Zhiqiang's debut single in Japan, but also an opportunity for her and Cao Zhiqiang to be together, which is of great significance.

If it wasn't for this song, Cao Zhiqiang would not have had the opportunity to cooperate with Nakamori Akina, the two parties would not have further exchanges, and Nakamori Akina would not have fallen deeper and deeper in love during this period.

Or it can be said that if Cao Zhiqiang and Nakamori Akina had met each other and never contacted each other, after a while, Nakamori Akina might have forgotten about Cao Zhiqiang.

Because when I met Cao Zhiqiang for the first time, Akina Nakamori had very ordinary feelings towards him. I just thought that Cao Zhiqiang was handsome and calm, with a unique charm, but it was not love at first sight.

On the contrary, Koizumi Kyoko, who is a good-looking party, became a nympho the first time he saw Cao Zhiqiang, which was very obvious.

Strictly speaking, Nakamori Akina was gradually tempted when he and Cao Zhiqiang co-produced the MTV of the song "Jun が い る だ け で".

Akina Nakamori also asked herself what was wrong, and the answer she gave herself later was that the song "Kimi がいるだけで" is so good, so Akina Nakamori took advantage of the opportunity to write this song, and she could sing it so well The affectionate Cao Zhiqiang has interest and affection.

When filming MTV, Akina Nakamori also admired the plot proposed by Cao Zhiqiang himself, and was a little too involved in the drama, and really fell in love with Cao Zhiqiang during the filming process.

Even if the entire MTV filming process is very short, it will take less than a day if it is full.

But for a young girl in Huaichun, falling in love with a man may be an instant.

After completely falling in love with Cao Zhiqiang, Akina Nakamori finally burst out with a strong emotion, and even played tricks, which is all self-taught.

In short, if it wasn’t for this song, if it wasn’t for this song, if it wasn’t for this song that I cooperated with Cao Zhiqiang and had more close contact with Cao Zhiqiang, Akina Nakamori would not have fallen so quickly, and knowing that Cao Zhiqiang has a girlfriend, and even Kyoko Koizumi also likes it In his situation, he shot decisively without hesitation.

It can only be said that everything is life.

Afterwards, Akina Nakamori finally got what she wanted, and finally became neighbors with Zhiqiang Cao, and slept with Zhiqiang Cao smoothly, and had an intimate relationship with him, and after living together generously, Akina Nakamori's love brain exploded completely. Apart from Cao Zhiqiang, there was nothing else in his mind.

What career, what girlfriends, in front of love, they are all playing around.

Wa is overjoyed, as long as Cao Zhiqiang, as long as this man who makes people love and can't stop!
For this man, why not give up the whole world!
Well, this may seem exaggerated, but it is really a true psychological portrayal of Akina Nakamori at this time.

If Akina Nakamori was Chinese, she would definitely know a word called love, adultery and passion.

That's right, Akina Nakamori at this time is just at the stage of passionate love affairs, so in her eyes, Cao Zhiqiang is everything at this time, and there is no one else who can make her care.

It was precisely because of this mentality that she decisively chose to take a long vacation during the rising period of her career.

Then, she didn't ask any questions and didn't care about anything, she just lived together with Cao Zhiqiang wholeheartedly, being her own housewife wholeheartedly, taking care of Cao Zhiqiang's daily life with all her heart, and felt very happy for this.

Even though Cao Zhiqiang is more casual in real life, this is exactly where Akina Nakamori is happy.

Because only Cao Zhiqiang's life is free, there is a chance for Akina Nakamori to play.

If Cao Zhiqiang himself likes to do housework and does it meticulously, there is no chance for Akina Nakamori to do housework and use it to prove himself.

Or else, if a woman doesn't like to do housework after marrying a man, and quarrels with him all day long about housework, it may not be pure laziness or selfishness, but more likely, the woman does not love that man enough.

As long as there is love, and love is hopeless, no matter how lazy a woman is, she can instantly become the most diligent housewife.

Well, to some extent, Akina Nakamori is really not normal at this time.

It might be a bit too much to say that she is crazy about love, but it is not an exaggeration to say that she has a pleasing personality for a man, like an addict.

Just because she cared too much about the other party, she began to please the other party in various ways, so that she didn't care about herself at all, but she herself didn't know these changes in her.

No wonder Nakamori Akina in her previous life was teased by scumbags in various ways, and she followed the scumbags without complaint or regret. In fact, she had her own problems.

Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang is not such a scumbag, at least he won't really use Akina Nakamori as a servant, let alone dump him when he's done playing.

On the contrary, Cao Zhiqiang will definitely give Nakamori Akina a good home and a good result, otherwise, Cao Zhiqiang himself would feel uneasy.

In short, Cao Zhiqiang has been closed for the past few days, so he doesn't hear anything outside the window, so he took a long vacation and came here to take care of Cao Zhiqiang's Akina Nakamori, and didn't ask about things in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, like Cao Zhiqiang, she has been isolated from the entertainment industry for a while.

Although during this period of time, Nakamori Akina no longer inquired about the entertainment industry, but it didn't mean that Nakamori Akina didn't understand anything.

For example, she knew that Cao Zhiqiang's song "Jun がいるだけで" has been released in various sales outlets, and the promotional posters of this song can be seen everywhere, and the MTV that she and Cao Zhiqiang filmed frequently appeared on TV. There are also many people playing this song on the side of the road, so based on her own experience, it must be that the company has increased its publicity.

And the company increased its publicity efforts, and there is only one explanation, that is, the results were particularly good in the first three days of the sale, so it was necessary to increase publicity efforts and take advantage of the trend.

That's right, when the current record companies release records, although they attach great importance to the initial sales, that is, the sales in the first week, there is actually another measurement indicator, which is the sales in the first three days.

If the sales in the first three days are particularly good, it means that the record is very popular, and the record company will automatically increase its promotional efforts, such as putting more billboards and advertising slogans, putting more MTV on TV, and even Put relevant TV commercials and radio commercials, and so on and so on.

Among them, the placement of TV commercials is basically a fixed-frame publicity configuration, especially the TV commercials in the first week of release, which are the treatment only some super singers have.

Cao Zhiqiang's song was able to be featured in TV commercials, and the number of times it was played quite a lot, which already shows that this song is very popular, otherwise the record company would not be able to spend a lot of money on TV commercials.

After all, TV commercials cost a lot of money, and they are still charged per view. If they are not played one more time, they will be charged for one more time.

If it weren't for the particularly good sales of records, it would be absolutely impossible for record companies to lose money.

"How much is it!" Nakamori Akina asked again, "Mr. Tomioka, tell me quickly!"

Only then did Nobuo Tomioka laugh: "Okay, let's not hold back, this time the results are very good, and the initial sales volume is this number!"

After finishing speaking, Nobuo Tomioka stretched out five fingers.

"[-] copies?" Nakamori Akina subconsciously covered her mouth, "Wow, that's a lot of sales. This result is really good!"

Indeed, the initial sales volume of [-] singles, for a new debut singer, this debut performance is really very good, and it is safe to enter the top ten of Oricon.

At least when Akina Nakamori first debuted, her first single was far from having such a high first-week sales.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "Impossible, 50 is too little... Wait, it can't be [-]?"
