My love life with the Yuanzu singer

In the second year of entering the 90s, Neon’s economy still did not show any signs of recovery, but instead fell further into the abyss. The stock market still performed a fixed program, falling endlessly, and corporate bankruptcy did not decrease. The economy presents a picture of depression and contraction.

Under such an economic situation, the real estate market appears to be extremely strange. It still maintains that terrible high price, and there is no downward trend so far. However, under such a high price, the real estate transaction shows a strange sluggish state. That is to say, there is a price without a market. Although the price seems to be able to make money, there are not many people buying it at all.

Compared with the strange state of the economy, Neon's entertainment industry has really begun to show a state of recovery, whether it is TV dramas, movies or records, it is showing a state of rapid growth.

Since last year, Neon’s record market has been recovering at an astonishing speed. Last year’s single record sales chart was still dominated by the man who dominated the record sales in the 80s, Kimura Hiroshi, who only released a TV series. The theme song has sold 260 million copies, which is an extremely exaggerated record.

Immediately behind him is the theme song of the animation "桃桃子" jointly produced by Hegemony and Fuji TV, composed by Oda Tetsuro and written by Kimura Hiroshi, with sales exceeding 180 million copies. It seems that only one year later, one million Records sold at the same level can be seen everywhere.

This year is even more so. At the beginning of the year, the entire record market began to show prosperity. The sales of records in the first quarter increased by 30.00% compared to last year. Compared with the economic growth of Neon this year, this growth is an absolute counterexample. , which is quite the opposite.

It’s just that such a recovering record market has nothing to do with a type of singer who once dominated the 80s, that is, idol singers. Since last year, the market seems to no longer favor idol singers, whether it’s female idols who dominated for a while or male idols who have seemed to fade away. For idols, although Johnny made a big one at the end of the year and won the record award, but the reality is that he did so, and the result was counterproductive, and the market seemed to hate idol singers even more.

The idol singers who were able to dance twice last year, such as Kudo Shizuka and Nakayama Miho, have completely failed this year. They are completely suppressed by the new singers. Some of the former rock singers this year are still capable. Creative singers have begun to emerge.

Under such a market situation, Hiroshi Kimura also wanted a piece of the action. Of course, he was not greedy. This year, two singles and one album will be released, with Stardust Media as the brokerage company, and Warner is still the one who releases the records.

Who made him have a very good relationship with Warner, not to mention, he still has Yukio Tomioka, an old friend who still pays a lot of royalties, so he has no reason not to cooperate with Warner.

So after communicating with Stardust Communications, Stardust Communications sent two assistants to Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina, both of whom were young girls with average looks and newcomers to the industry. Of course, it's not that Stardust Spread neglected the two of them, but they requested it on their own initiative.

Originally, Hosono Yoshiro wanted to send the best agent and assistant of their firm, but was rejected by Hiroshi Kimura, and asked him to send two newcomers to handle things, and he could also help him bring newcomers along the way , Gain some experience, and it will be no problem to act as a manager for the new artist that Stardust spreads in the future.

After all, they have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and have sung and released records for so many years. The process is basically clear, so in fact they don’t need an agent to do anything, they just need two assistants to help them with some things. It's better to contact the partner and help with some things and documents, so even a newcomer is enough.

Now Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori are husband and wife, so there is no need to hide anything, so the two of them went to Warner with two assistants. They went this time to discuss the recording of the record. Of course, it was not recorded today. After all, Akina Nakamori hasn't sung for a long time, and she needs time for some recovery training, about a week.

Entering Warner, as before, Yukio Tomioka had been waiting for the two of them in the lobby, and when he saw them coming with their assistants, he hurried forward to greet them.

"Kimura-san, Akina-san, welcome to come. I heard that you are going to release a record. I was so happy that I didn't fall asleep all day. You see, I have dark circles under my eyes. I was waiting here early in the morning. You guys." Yukio Tomioka looked so exaggerated that people couldn't figure out whether he was really happy or just pretending to show the two of them.

Looking at each other, Hiroshi Kimura smiled and said, "Oh, that's our fault, Mr. Tomioka, because we want to make a record to make you sleep well, it's really a serious sin, so let's do it Don’t record it anymore, let Mr. Tomioka sleep well, and we can also reduce our guilt a little.”

"Ah?" Yukio Tomioka was confused by Hiroshi Kimura's words. Wasn't he just expressing his excitement and expectations for Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori? , Hiroshi Kimura actually said that he would not record a single, which is fine. If Hiroshi Kimura just went back like this, he probably would have to leave Warner tomorrow.

The shocked and unbelievable look on her face made Nakamori Akina laugh, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then couldn't help but patted Kimura Hiroshi on the shoulder, "Hong-kun, don't take it so seriously when you're joking, Fu Mr. Gang is serious, really, don't make jokes at work."

"Ah, my fault, I shouldn't be joking. Mr. Tomioka, don't take it seriously. It's been a long time since I've seen you. Just kidding, why do you believe it so easily?" Hiroshi Kimura didn't expect Yukio Tomioka to take it seriously , also listened to what Nakamori Akina said, and quickly explained.

In this way, Yukio Tomioka's face returned to normal, he let out a long breath, and said, "Kimura-san, some things should not be joked, they might scare people, such as me now, because you and Akina-san are going to record The single, but it makes me and other Warner managements very happy, if you suddenly stop recording, it will really be my fault."

"Oh, no way, Mr. Tomioka, I haven't released many records since last year, and now my popularity may have plummeted. I'm really flattered that Warner still thinks highly of me! "Hiroshi Kimura lacks confidence in his own popularity, after all, the neon entertainment circle is changing too fast.

At this time, Yukio Tomioka was full of confidence. He said, "The popularity of Kimura-san and Akina-san is beyond doubt. Even if they haven't released a record for a long time, it's the same. So, you don't have to worry too much, just make a good record. Now, please come with me, let's go to confirm the recording and distribution of the record."

I have been talking in the lobby for a long time, and it doesn’t look right to talk in the lobby all the time, so Tomioka Yukio took Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina to the conference room to have a detailed discussion there.

When we arrived at the conference room, there were not too many people. Yukio Tomioka, Hiroshi Kimura, and Akina Nakamori talked with each other. The rest were a few staff members who took notes and listened to what they talked about.

You must know that when Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori release records, they are completely in the lead. As for the producer, there is no manager at all. Too many people are needed, and the cooperation between Hiroshi Kimura and Yukio Tomioka was also in this mode.

The first thing to confirm is the single sung by Akina Nakamori, because her single is already confirmed. It is the theme song of the TV series "As long as I have you" selected by Hiroshi Kimura. Naturally, there is no way to change it, so there is no need to talk about it. You just need to decide when to record and by what time the recording will be done.

When I arrived at Kimura, Hiroshi Kimura has not yet decided what single to release, but he confirmed that the recording of the single will basically start after May, and will release a single in May and September, followed by an album. He wants to finish filming the TV series first, but he just came over to confirm the time with Yukio Tomioka.

Although I don’t know what single Hiroshi Kimura will release, Yukio Tomioka is very happy when the time is confirmed. After the time is confirmed, the release of the single is a certainty, so there is no need to worry that Hiroshi Kimura will not sing, Yukio Tomioka Know that he is not the kind of person who will miss the appointment.

On the contrary, Akina Nakamori will be in a hurry. It is agreed that the recording will be completed in April, because Hiroshi Kimura has ordered the TV series production department of Hegemony to start preparing for the filming of "A Rare Friend". It is expected that the CD will be filmed in March and April. The filming of the city's emotional drama is so fast, so the record needs to be filmed in April to cooperate with the production of the TV series.

In this way, it is simple. Even if the record recording is booked, Yukio Tomioka is very happy. He also likes this kind of meeting and discussion, because it is very easy, and the decision is quick, and there is no need to waste too much time. Energy and time, it is simply a meeting mode that can only be dreamed of.

After talking about the single record, Yukio Tomioka talked about the recent cooperation that Warner wants to carry out with Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina, and it is not something that needs to consume too much time and energy for the two of them.

That is, seeing how hot the record market has been recently, Warner wants to release some best albums for Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori. The so-called best albums are to release the more famous songs of the two of them as an album. This is an old remake.

Hearing this idea, Hiroshi Kimura frowned and said, "Mr. Tomioka, although posting selections is something that many singers and record companies do, is this an act of harvesting fans and fans? After all, those singles , those who want to buy have already bought it, and if they buy it again, they are probably paying for the singer they once liked?"

Akina Nakamori nodded after hearing Hiroshi Kimura's words, and said, "Yeah, those record fans and music fans have already bought them. If they get their hair done again, is it a kind of cheating of fans' money? I don't think it's very good either. .”

Unexpectedly, the husband and wife still had this kind of thought, Yukio Tomioka had to explain, "Kimura-san, Akina-san, yes, you have indeed bought many singles that you have released, but they are all one by one. The records sound very troublesome and need to be replaced frequently. If they are combined on one record, it will be more convenient for fans and fans who listen to the songs.

And it’s not that we want to take money from fans and fans, but since the two of you have not released singles or albums since you two got married, many fans and fans have written and called our company, asking if we can do it Some of your selected records, they can take them back to listen to, or keep them as a collection. If you two don’t believe me, I can bring them to you for a look. Miss Huamei, please go and send them to us. Here's the letter out of the featured album. "

Seemingly afraid that Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori would not believe it, Yukio Tomioka called the staff in the meeting room to get the letters, and the lady named Hanami ran out immediately, and she came back after a while, holding Holding a large cardboard box in the box, which was full of letters wrapped in various envelopes, Yukio Tomioka motioned her to put it in front of Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori.

I simply picked up the letter and looked at it, even without opening it, but just looking at the envelope and stamps, I knew that they were sent by different people and different places. Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori were a little surprised, they did not expect, There are still so many fans and fans thinking about them.

"It seems that I misunderstood, I am very sorry, Mr. Tomioka, if this is the case, then let's release a best album, but I will put two new singles in the best album, it is my gratitude to these fans and fans The feedback from Akina is also the same, I think it should be no problem, right?" Naturally, Hiroshi Kimura wants to give back these kindness, so he will give them two new songs.

Hiroshi Kimura agreed, and Yukio Tomioka was naturally very happy. This meant that Warner could receive another big sum of money, but Hiroshi Kimura actually wanted to release new songs in the selection album. He couldn't accept it. If the new songs were released, he would release a single record If it’s not good, then it can be sold for a lot of money.

It's just that he also knows that Hiroshi Kimura has decided on this kind of thing, and it's useless for him to object, so he can only nod in agreement, and he doesn't forget to sigh, Hiroshi Kimura's fans and fans are really lucky to meet such a A generous singer.
