My love life with the Yuanzu singer

Chapter 300 English Singles Selling Overseas
When the new single was released, Hiroshi Kimura began to promote it according to the previous plan, but compared to the previous two years, the number of times he appeared on TV programs has decreased, only about two-thirds of the original, and the promotion period has also been shortened. After the sales of the new album came out in the first week of release, the number of publicity for him would drop sharply, and he would only appear on the two major chart shows and one night HIT basically every week.

The record market is in such a situation now, too much publicity will not have a big effect, and it is in a state of diminishing margins, and the promotion is very hard, but the increase in record sales is limited. In that case, it is better to spare time to do other things, Kimura Hiroshi The most important thing is whether you can make money, not some music dream or the like.

But every time he goes on stage for business, he still prepares very carefully and shows his best state. Fans have spent real money to buy his records. Originally, the business hours are limited, and he deliberately puts on face or is perfunctory If it is not, it is a bit too much, which will be disgusted by fans in Neon.

For example, the new single "Little Love Song" this time, as a relaxed and cheerful love song, after Hiroshi Kimura took the stage, the set was a very sunny and beautiful scene, and he himself wore more casual clothes , his face is also filled with a youthful smile, and when he sings, he will have some small movements that can only be seen between men and women in love, which makes his stage performance excellent.

"Kimura-chan made me feel the beauty of being in love this summer." This is the feedback obtained by a media survey of her fans who have a good relationship with Kimura Hiroshi. Most of the fans and fans are full of praise for his stage performance and song style. Express satisfaction.

"The handsome Kimura-chan should sing this kind of sweet love song. I just want to let him open more and participate in more TV shows. I really want to see him every day." Fans and fans said again, dreaming of every day You can see him on TV shows.

Fans and fans are satisfied, so even if Hiroshi Kimura's promotion time is reduced, his record sales are still terrible. In this shrinking record market, "Little Love Song" sold more than 32 records in the first week Zhang, this sales volume can be said to be the only super sales volume in the record market.

The other is "My Lover" by his girlfriend Akina Nakamori, which sold 10,000+ copies on the first Tuesday, and both of them belong to Kenyin and Warner Records.

Everyone in the circle can see that if nothing happens, I am afraid that this year I will feel the horror of Kenon's idol rule again, but fortunately, Kimura Hiroshi has not released many records, although the male idol singer market has been dominated by him , but other people can have some soup at least, as long as they don't release records at the same time as him, the sales are not bad.

"Ah, it's really terrible sales. Kimura-san's record sales in a week may have surpassed the sales of many first-line singers in a year." Seeing the new sales report, Hanami He was quite satisfied, and was very happy. Hiroshi Kimura, who was sitting opposite, said.

Now take out an album with a total sales volume of 30 copies, which can be ranked in the top 50 in the annual list. These are all hot singles, and Hiroshi Kimura reached it in a week, although compared with the previous week of [-] million The sales volume of the show is much lower, but now that the market is so hot, Hanami He is quite satisfied, and the original resentment against Hiroshi Kimura's reduction of participation in the show has disappeared.

Hiroshi Kimura, who is also holding a sales report, is quite satisfied with this result, but at the same time, he feels a little pain in his heart. You must know that "Little Love Song" will be a super-best-selling record with a sales volume of more than 300 million copies in the future. But it can only get 32 sales in the first week, and it is estimated that it will decline later, and it is very likely that it will not be able to break through one million sales in the end.

His heart was bleeding. Such a huge gap in sales meant that the share he could get would also be reduced, so he made a silent decision in his heart, "When the record market fully recovers in the 90s, we must pay a few more dollars." A best selection album, sell the songs I have sung again, and cut another wave of leeks, otherwise I will not be able to forgive myself in my heart."

Putting down the sales report, Hiroshi Kimura sighed and said, "It can't break the law of the market. It would be great if it could sell more than 50 copies a week."

This remark made Hanami He, Si Linchao, and others present at the scene a little confused. Before that, Kimura Hiroshi had been vaccinating them, telling them that the market was shrinking, and they had to anticipate the decline in record sales. Today is good, the sales volume of 32 is already very good, but Kimura Hiroshi is not satisfied, this guy must have changed too fast.

"It's already very good, Kimura-san, the market is like this, and you can't change it by yourself alone, so don't be too obsessed with these things." Si Linchao still couldn't help persuading Kimura Hiroshi.

Nodding, Hiroshi Kimura didn't say anything more, he just sighed with emotion, stood up, and Hiroshi Kimura said, "Thank you Terabayashi-san for your concern, well, that's all for the time being about the record, and I will do the same for the follow-up publicity If you continue, you can't stay here anymore, there are still many things to deal with, so I have to go first."

The meeting had only been going on for more than ten minutes, and the master was about to leave, but Hanami He didn't say much. Hiroshi Kimura is really busy now, and there are many things that need to be dealt with, not to mention, what he has to deal with is behind Yanyin. The boss also has interests in it, even if he wants to stop it, it is impossible.

After leaving the office and getting into his company's car, Yukio Tomioka who came out together put a sales report in front of Hiroshi Kimura. This is a sales report translated from English. Yukio Tomioka was very happy Said, "This is the sales volume of the English song "Never Gonna Give You Up" written by Kimura-san, but it has reached the sales volume that Kimura-san hoped for just now, 54 copies."

Hearing this number, Kimura Hiroshi’s heartache because he felt that the sales volume was too low just disappeared a lot. He quickly picked up the sales report and looked at it. The sales volume actually reached 54 copies, ranking No. [-] in this week’s North American record sales list. One, it can be said to be a big hit single.

This is not the first week's sales, but the third week. The sales in the first two weeks were not so high, because it is a new song by a newcomer, which needs enough time to ferment. This week's sales finally exploded, which can be regarded as a gift for Kimura This is great news, because it indicates that he can get a big sum of money again.

"It's really good. It seems that the foreign market will do a lot in the future. Mr. Tomioka can tell them that I can continue to provide them with singles." Naturally, Hiroshi Kimura who is in a good mood will not let money go without making money. To follow.

Yukio Tomioka is naturally happy to see this kind of situation. Since Hiroshi Kimura cannot enter the European and American markets, it is also possible to rely on his singles to enter the market. It can be regarded as the reputation of neon music abroad. He seems a little He said excitedly, "Of course there is no problem. I will contact there immediately. By the way, next week, the new album composed by Kimura-san will also be released. It is estimated that the sales will be very good."

It was really good news one after another. Hiroshi Kimura felt that his mood became extraordinarily comfortable, but he was not happy for a long time before he realized a very serious problem, that is, he was earning US dollars over there. When the Plaza Accord was signed in January and the yen appreciated rapidly, wouldn't the dollar he earned be equivalent to a depreciation?

This situation must not be allowed to happen, Kimura Hiroshi hurriedly asked, "Then when will America's share be settled for me?"

"It will take about half a year, and the share will not be settled until the record sales enter a quiet period." Knowing that Kimura Hiroshi attaches great importance to money, Yukio Tomioka quickly replied.

That’s no good, the appreciation of the yen in half a year may have already begun, and the first batch of shares cannot be lost, Kimura Hiroshi said, "Let them settle the settlement with me before October, and Mr. Tomioka will have a good talk with them. Try to get the share before this time."

Although I don't know what special meaning this time has, but Hiroshi Kimura gave orders, and Yukio Tomioka naturally tried to deal with it. He said, "Okay, Kimura-san, I will have a good talk with them, and I will try my best to do it in this time." Get the share before the time, anyway, it was originally due to be settled before December, but this is only two months in advance, so there should be no big problem."

"Then please trouble Mr. Tomioka. It's settled. I will continue to raise Mr. Tomioka's salary next year. Okay, let's go to the Hegemony Club now. There are still many things to deal with." Sitting on the seat, he breathed a sigh of relief.
