Chapter 357 Sincerity
The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, in the office of the Music Network Building.

Hum, hum.

Kawai Shogo, who was sitting on the leather sofa, glanced at the vibrating mobile phone on the coffee table. After confirming the caller, he answered the phone.

"Hey, Nobuhiko, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"

Before Nobuhiko Okayama could speak on the other end, Chango Kawai took the initiative to change the topic.

As Nobuhiko Okayama's teacher, he knew very well the purpose of this person's call at this time.

In fact, he could roughly guess what Nobuhiko Okayama was going to say next.

As expected, his students came here for Jay's new song.

"Teacher, what you said is as if I can't call you to care about you if you have nothing to do?"

Nobuhiko Okayama on the other end of the phone heard the hidden teasing tone of his teacher and immediately started to explain.

If you think about it carefully, Kawai Shogo's teasing about him was not wrong. During this period of time, he almost only called the other party when he had something to do. In a sense, he also became the person he once hated the most. That kind of person.

It's just that, as a student, he also knows his teacher's temperament. Speaking out at this time, in the final analysis, is just making fun of himself, and he is not really angry.

"Then..." Kawai Shogo paused, "I'm fine now, so I don't need to care, so I'll hang up the phone first."

"do not!"

Okayama Nobuhiko suddenly became anxious.

If Kawai Shogo really wanted to hang up the phone, he would have to call him again, and according to how busy his teacher was now, if nothing unexpected happened, it would be at night at the earliest if he wanted to get through the phone again.

"So, don't do all these roundabout things with the teacher. Just tell me what you are here for this time."

Hearing this, Kawai Shogo just smiled.

He couldn't cure Beichuan Che, so he couldn't cure this kid?

But, that being said, in fact, he felt that it was a good thing for Kitagawa Che to be the link between him and himself, a student who had been disappointed in the music world.

"Have you listened to Che's new song?"

Seeing that his teacher had said this, Nobuhiko Okayama stopped being coy and frankly stated his purpose.

After playing the single for several days, he made up his mind.

The song "All the Way North" is different from other songs. In terms of popularity alone, this song can at least be ranked in the top three of all Kitagawa Che's songs.
——Even until now, Kitagawa Che has released less than ten songs.

But there is a huge difference in quality between this guy's less than ten songs and other people's ten or even dozens of songs.

"I've heard it."

Kawai Changgo originally wanted to give it up, but since he didn't have much time at the moment, he had no choice but to give up the idea.

"how do you feel?"

Nobuhiko Okayama didn't waste a moment, he didn't even talk about his feelings as usual, he just continued the conversation.

He believed in his teacher's level of appreciation, and even more believed in his own vision.

"Do you want to hear the truth, or lie?"

After hesitating for a moment, Kawai Shogo asked this question.

If he lies, he will brag about unrealistic things as most people say. If he tells the truth, he will speak in a very practical way, which may not be so flashy, but will be much more practical.

"Of course it's true."

Nobuhiko Okayama answered without hesitation.

From the time he entered the industry until now, he has never thought of hearing lies from his teacher.

Yes, some sentences can be accepted if you make them tactful, but if you want to make progress, you must listen to sharp opinions and harsh voices, and most of these voices come from your own teachers.

Kawai Shogo would not harm him.

"The truth is that the quality and popularity of this song can be compared with "Loser", no, in my case, this song has a higher score than "Loser"."

This is what Kawai Shogo really thinks.

This song is indeed a bit exaggerated, or in other words, it fits too closely with the story Akutagawa Aoki told that day.

When he unconsciously connected the story with the song, the image immediately came to him.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the quality of Akutagawa Aoki's movie is not bad, then Jay's song will definitely help this movie to a higher level.

Similarly, the famous scenes of this movie will naturally be combined with Jay's song.It's a win-win situation.

Of course, including the music network as the middleman, it can also become famous, which is a win-win-win situation.

"The teacher's idea is the same as mine."

Nobuhiko Okayama breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Kawai Shogo's comments. Obviously, their teachers and students had the same idea.

Now that we are consistent, many things will become simpler.

"so?"

Kawai Shogo could already roughly guess what his student meant. Asking him this question now was a bad taste of a teacher, pretending to be confused while pretending to understand.

"...Teacher, can you give me some special care on this song?"

Nobuhiko Okayama hesitated for a moment and finally said this.

He felt that this song was definitely going to work, and that if given the chance, it could break even more than the previous songs.

"I have given you all the special care I can give." Kawai Shogo rubbed his temples with a headache. His students were all good, but they lacked a certain degree of rationality when it came to Jay.

just like……

Well, okay, if you think about it carefully, it's not that he can't understand Nobuhiko.

Nobuhiko regarded Che as a student, just like when he introduced Nobuhiko to his old friends.

"That……"

Okayama Nobuhiko was still a little worried.

But after all, he has been out of the circle for too long, and the only powerful relationship he has is with his teacher.

"Don't worry, gold will shine. With the appeal of the name Jay, do you think we need any special care? And..." Kawai Shogo paused, "Before you ask me about this, do you think you need any more special care?" Looking at the Internet, Morishima Yukie has already ended up on the platform again.

"Doesn't this explain the problem?

"This kid is no longer what he used to be."

The Jay now is completely different from the Jay he was when he was just starting out.

Now he has fans and people who support him. From his standpoint, there is not much the music network can do. It is just to follow the procedures as written in the contract.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door.

Kawai Shogo temporarily put down the phone and said "come in" to the door.

Click.

With the sound of the door being opened, a staff member in formal attire poked his head in.

"Mr. Kawai, Director Akutagawa, is already waiting for you."

have to.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

After chuckling from the bottom of his heart, Kawai Shogo gave the other party an "I understand" look, and then stood up, "What you just said has been settled. Now, I have to get busy."

"Okay! Then, it's up to you."

"...Remember to bring some wine next time."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Kawai Shogo put away his phone, his eyes full of ravages of time sparkling with sparkle.

The results of "All the Way North" and the rising momentum are enough for him to get many favorable conditions in the subsequent negotiations.

And these so-called favorable conditions are definitely more than just money.

Akutagawa Aoki, I hope you can be more sincere this time.

With this thought in mind, Kawai Shogo walked out of the office and walked towards the conference room.
