Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

Maezawa tapped his fingers on the glass coffee table.

"There is a big difference between the production of animated music and popular songs. In the final analysis, the songs they write are unproblematic compositions that are designed to make the audience like them and allow them to express themselves as freely as possible."

"But the most important thing about animated songs is not that they can be liked by the audience...Although this is also very important, in comparison, the arrangement and lyrics of the songs must fit with the content of the animation. This is the most important thing for animated songs. important."

These words made Maezawa fall into deep thought, and he couldn't help but nodded.

"Yes, if they are allowed to join the production team, what they will face is not just writing an excellent song, but a proposition composition that limits both content and theme."

Sawano, who was leaning on the sofa, moved his body, resting his elbows on his knees, covering his cheeks with his hands, and spoke in a cold and questioning tone.

"What's more, if they are allowed to join the music production team, in order to keep the content confidential, they will often need to go to the animation company to compose and record on-site. For them who are still students, this kind of thing will be difficult to overcome. "

"Maezawa-kun." Sawano's tone became a little frivolous. "Do you think the Ending Band is capable of completing its mission?"

Maezawa opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

I want to say something, but I don't know what I should say.

But after a moment, Maezawa showed a self-deprecating smile.

What are you worried about here...

Since the beginning of the band's activities, the band has already overcome numerous difficulties to reach where it is today.

How could this little thing restrict them?

That kid... is a genius that even he himself is sure of.

Geniuses will not be hit by such small difficulties.

"Zawano-kun, although they are very immature, they have still made it this far, and they have overcome the difficulties they encountered. Doesn't this mean that they have such ability?"

Then, Maezawa took a long breath.

"Please give them a chance, Sawano-kun! That guy is a genius... He will never let you down!"

Maezawa's burst of momentum made Sawano suddenly stunned and stunned for a while.

"It seems that Maezawa-kun has great confidence in them."

"I just hope they can continue to work hard towards their dreams."

The next moment, the serious expressions on the two men's faces disappeared instantly.

"Well, no matter what I think, I can't go against the Governor's decision."

This is...he agreed?

pat-

Then, a thick document was thrown in front of Maezawa.

"This is....?"

"This is relevant information for the preparation of this animation. It is essential if you want to make a song that fits the theme of the animation."

Maezawa nodded and opened the title page of the document.

He saw the name of this animation at first glance.

Guilty Crown.

"The production of the animation will start after the New Year. Please ask the finishing band to meet me at the company then."

After leaving these words, Zeye fell silent.

Naturally, he meant to issue an eviction order.

Maezawa nodded, not planning to stay any longer.

"Thank you very much, Sawano-kun...I think they won't let you down by ending the band."

After bidding farewell to Sawano, Maezawa could not suppress his excitement.

I haven't experienced this kind of excitement in countless years.

This matter... tell them quickly.

Then, the man impatiently dialed the phone.

Chapter 252

People are happy when they are happy.

After talking about business with the legendary genius Sawano, Maezawa briefly discussed the causes and consequences with Kotobuki Mitsuru, who ended the band, and made an appointment to meet.

The next day.

The band's practice room is over - now it can basically be used as the band's office.

"Long time no see, Mr. Producer, happy new year in advance."

Ichichi Hongka said hello to Maezawa, who was previously the band's music producer, full of energy.

It's the end of the year, and usually many companies are busier at this time.

"Happy New Year...please don't call me Mr. Producer. Kotobuki must have told you that I was arranged by the president to be your band's manager."

Maezawa glanced at Kotobuki Mitsuru who was sitting next to him, and placed a handbag with a gold pattern logo on the table.

"Wow...it's actually a gift box from that famous high-end confectionery shop in Ginza. Mr. Maezawa is so generous."

Yamada Ryo's eyes shone.

"Haha, the company will reimburse you, just think of it as a gift to celebrate the success of your album."

Desserts made from wool will indeed taste extraordinarily sweet.

"Speaking of...manager? Mr. Maezawa has become our band's manager?"

Itachi Hongxia belatedly realized the most important part of Maezawa's words.

"Ah...that's what happened." Kotobuki Hikari recalled. "I'm sorry, because the matter was urgent, I agreed without permission..."

"Anyway, you all need to agree for this to become a fact."

After leaving these words, Maezawa glanced at the girls who were finishing the band, as if asking for their consent.

"Hey...Manager, isn't this a good thing? Having a senior music producer like Mr. Maezawa as our manager...I can't believe this is reality."

Yijizhi Hongxia readily agreed and looked at everyone with a smile and squinted eyes. "Right, right."

"Ah...I agree too! If we have an agent...it feels like we have all become idols." Kita also looked a little excited.

"To thank Mr. Manager for the snacks, I also agree." Yamada Ryo also raised his hand along with Kita.

The only one who has not agreed yet is Goto Kazuri.

It's not that she disagrees, it's just that in Goto Ichiri's perception, the title agent is a bit too unfamiliar.

but......

"If Hikari has already agreed...I agree too."

The final result was a unanimous vote by all five members of the band.

For some reason, Maezawa himself breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It would be really great if everyone agrees... If this doesn't happen, all my previous efforts will be in vain, and I will definitely be scolded by the president after I go back."

"Obviously such a powerful producer would have such troubles? It's too miserable for the social beasts..." Kotobuki Mitsuru sighed immediately.

"Capitalists don't think about old relationships. No matter how many achievements you have made in the past, you will be criticized if you fail... It's the same whether it's a social animal or a band. The first album caused a stir among small groups. You are such a sensation, if your subsequent performances and albums cannot surpass your previous ones, your fans will definitely say that you have exhausted your talents."

Kotobuki Hikaru felt inexplicably that he was scolding her.

"Eh... I'm a little scared when Mr. Maezawa says that."

Itachi Hongxia suddenly began to feel nervous.

Even if you are a first-line star, even if the quality of your new music is obviously very high, if it is not as good as before, you will still be smeared by some haters.

Not to mention a small band like my own.

"So you need to work harder in the future, just to avoid being scolded by the president for me."

Naturally, it's not just the boys and girls who are ending their bands who are feeling the pressure.

Maezawa has been working as a producer for many years, and even had some thoughts of working comfortably in this position until retirement. Now that he was suddenly assigned as a producer, he touched a new field, and he also felt that he needed to re- Pick up the extinguished passion and try again.

"That...that!" The silent Goto Ichiri suddenly spoke up. "What is an agent...?"

"..."

The girls clucked their tongues.

It's not that I'm laughing at Goto Kazuri's ignorance, I'm just sighing, 'Ah, I don't even know how you can agree to it with peace of mind. '

"The agent is to introduce you to the commission and introduce your band to the company. It is like a middleman. Of course, if you have any needs in life, you can also leave them to me..."

"Oh...if you want some snacks, can you please ask your manager?" Ryo Yamada said something rude.

"Haha... If it's not too frequent, I can also use the company's reimbursement to reward everyone."

"good job!"

The white gift box on the table was opened.

The inside of the gift box is divided into a nine-square grid shape, and various small and exquisite cakes are placed in the grids.

Well......

There's only a tiny bit of it in one piece, and I feel like I can finish it in two or three bites.

However, the taste is indeed exceptionally good.

"Although I am a manager, this is my first time doing this kind of thing, so I would like to ask for your advice from those who have ended a band in the future."

Changing from his previous attitude as a senior producer, Maezawa showed his sincerity.

"We are also a new band... Please give us your guidance in the future,"

"Please advise..."

"Please advise!"

The girls returned the favor one after another.

"Then please take a look at this... This is the first job I got for you as an agent."

Maezawa took out several documents from his handbag and handed them to the five members of the band.

"Ah... you'll have a job so soon?"

Yijizhi Hongxia was a little surprised.

"Because the album has just been released... I'm still a little confused about what I should do next."

"Logically speaking, you should take a break, but this commission is very valuable and is a rare opportunity, so please continue to work hard."

The girls picked up the documents on the table and read them.

"Hmm...Animation music job again?!"

Just by looking at the title page of the project, everyone realized what kind of work this was.

"Yes, it's a challenge to make animated music and touch new areas."

When everyone was looking at the project in front of them, Maezawa opened his mouth to explain.

"Different from when making an album, animation music focuses more on composing, lyrics and animation content, so it may be a little difficult at the beginning."

The man's eyes unconsciously glanced at Kotobuki Hikari.

He spoke in a provocative tone. "But, I think if it's you, it shouldn't be a problem."

Kotobuki Mitsuru looked at the familiar project in front of him and fell into deep thought.

This was the plan that his father had shown him in the study when he was at home.

Eh......

Is it arranged so quickly?

Kotobuki Hikaru was also a little surprised.
