Tokyo's most affectionate

Having too high expectations is a double-edged sword.

If it can meet the fans' expectations, that's a good thing.

If it doesn’t meet the fans’ expectations, that’s a bad thing.

Although she doesn't know much about piano, Kurosawa Hikaru just said that "Flight of the Bumblebee" is not perfect yet and there is still room for improvement.

In comparison, Kurosawa Hikaru was very satisfied with "Adeelina at the Water's Edge" and did not say anything like "it's a pity."

"Fans are too enthusiastic, and romantic piano music is hard to satisfy them. The biggest advantage of Flight of the Bumblebee is that it explodes with power from the first second, which is very consistent with the audience's needs in this era of traffic."

Kurosawa Mitsuru had anticipated this situation and was not very surprised. Noticing her concern, he explained.

After the lesson just now, he has already understood that words like "no problem" and "don't worry" are actually perfunctory.

In comparison, explaining the situation clearly can better convey your thoughts and ideas.

"Indeed... But many fans are looking forward to tonight's new video, which is the music video for "The Bell". The live playback is too troublesome."

After thinking about it, Igarashi Runa understood it deeply, but in her heart she still hoped that Zhong would appear.

On the night they first met, when Kurosawa Hikaru played "Für Alice", she thought it was amazing, but that was all.

In contrast, the second time she saw him play Flight of the Bumblebee at Phantom Star Studio, she was shocked.

However, even though Flight of the Bumblebee is very charming, before the live performance at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, when Kurosawa Hikaru was practicing "The Bell" over and over again alone in the recording studio... no one knows what she was going through at that moment.

It was a madness beyond imagination, a fascinating figure, and a piano sound like the sound of nature.

Ahead of the world, as the first person to see "The Clock" at zero o'clock, her body and mind were completely conquered, completely overwhelmed and fallen.

That's right. That day at the martial arts hall, when his multiple-girlfriend issues were exposed and he was in trouble, she chose to stand on the side of Kurosawa Hikaru without hesitation and help him solve his problem.

Whether Kurosawa Hikaru is a playboy or a liar, she actually doesn't care about these things.

She just wanted to follow Kurosawa Hikaru and watch the story of Zero Hour to the end from the closest distance.

"Fans have already seen "The Bells", so the novelty is insufficient. If you want to surprise people, you have to be unexpected. The piano piece "The Bells" is indeed higher, more difficult and more pleasant to listen to, but it requires people to calm down and listen slowly, so that they can feel the magical charm at the climax."

Kurosawa Hikaru put down the contract and looked at her straight in the eye.

Maybe he doesn't understand the entertainment industry, but that doesn't mean he really knows nothing.

It is precisely because he understands piano that he knows the characteristics of these piano pieces.

"Ok."

Like all fans, Runa Igarashi really wanted to see him play "The Bell" again, but seeing that he had considerations, she did not force him.

"There is less than half a month left until the end of the month. I have booked all the time except for the time marked in red. Please help me plan my schedule for the rest of the time. For example, I will be working with Cats Carnival to shoot a commercial, and I will be performing at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan. If there are any good activities, you can also arrange them. I hope to make the agency soar this summer."

Seeing her regret, Kurosawa Mitsuru took out his mobile phone, opened the calendar and took a look at it. Then he tapped it with his finger, put it on the table and gently pushed it in front of her.

The dates he marked were Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, for his part-time job and the dojo, respectively.

"Except for these marked dates, are the rest of the time fully booked?"

Igarashi Runa was surprised to find that he was willing to hand over the phone to her. She looked at him tentatively a few times, then took it in her hand to look at it.

"I also plan to go back to my hometown to visit my parents and date someone."

Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head and added.

"I'll arrange it for you tomorrow. Advertising shoots can't just happen whenever you want. The same goes for performances. We need to communicate in advance."

Igarashi Runa realized his situation and took out her mobile phone, opened the calendar, and marked the dates.

"I will bring Yuki-chan to the office the day after tomorrow. If she wants to take photos, it will be included in my schedule."

"it is good."

"When will the album be released? Do you have an estimated timeline? If the agency wants to take off, the first album and the first official performance are both crucial."

Igarashi Runa nodded slightly, and then asked.

Maybe Zero Hour is now at its peak on the Internet, with crazy popularity and attention, but these are just false names, and monetization is the key.

Pianists are similar to singers. All their activities and publicity are aimed at selling records and albums, as well as concert tickets.

If the first album sells well, the agency will officially take off because the investors will see the instant commercial value.

"I'll give you an answer as soon as possible."

After thinking about it, Kurosawa Mitsuru did not give an answer immediately.

Currently, six piano pieces have been decided for the album, including "Croatian Rhapsody", "Flight of the Bumblebee", and "The Bells", as well as romantic piano pieces "Adeelina by the Water", "Wedding in a Dream", and "Autumn Whispers".

He had already checked, and ten songs was enough for a piano album.

The remaining piano pieces are yet to be filled, but which ones to choose is a problem.

The days in summer are often longer. With the arrival of night, it is already 7: in the evening. All the work has been done, many matters have been negotiated, and even dinner has been taken out.

"I want to get more work this summer so that the firm can develop quickly. Please help me think of some solutions."

After discussing work matters, Kurosawa Hikaru sat on the sofa, looked at the time, and did not forget to remind her.

Although he still likes being an artist, after realizing Miss Ninomiya's predicament, he has one more reason to work hard.

"You are so popular now that you can get enough publicity just by updating your YouTube videos. You are even well-known in foreign countries. It will be hard to find a good cooperation."

"It doesn't have to be a good promotion, as long as it's profitable. But it can't be an endorsement like Kawai Piano. It'd be better if it's something like Cat Party."

Kurosawa Hikaru didn't force it and just smiled.

Honestly speaking, Kawai’s sky-high endorsement fee is both a pity and not a pity.

Because Kawai’s 10 billion is not so easy to get, it requires a lot of performances.

"I know you don't have that much time to run around."

Igarashi Runa naturally understood his situation.

For artists, dating takes up a lot of time.

The conversation ended at this point because we had talked about business matters...if we continued, it would become private matters.

Talking too much about private matters is not a good thing for men and women.

“Shouldn’t the video be released at midnight?”

Kurosawa Hikaru realized that it would take more than four hours before the video was released, and suddenly felt a little regretful.

In fact, waiting for four hours is not a big problem. The key is to wait with Miss Runa.

"0: am is a good time, which corresponds to your stage name. Fans are very happy with this time arrangement."

Igarashi Runa was using her cell phone to contact someone, and responded when she heard this.

"you are tired?"

Suddenly, Igarashi Runa noticed something and asked.

If Kurosawa still follows the schedule of the Kyudo competition, he should wake up around 7 am and stay up until 12 pm, which is quite tiring.

"I'm a little sleepy, how about you?"

After hearing this question, Kurosawa Mitsuru seemed to understand something and then asked.

Being sleepy was a good excuse. He would find an opportunity to pretend to be asleep and drag the time till twelve o'clock, then he wouldn't have to worry about being alone with her.

"I'm not sleepy at all."

Faced with this concern, Igarashi Runa shook her head.

The new video is about to be released, how could she be sleepy?

Chapter 323: Is he hinting at me?

"By the way, do you have any idea about a photographer's personal website?"

Seeing that she was full of energy, Kurosawa Hikaru knew she could definitely wait until midnight, so he suddenly thought of a topic and asked.

"A personal website for photographers is similar to a blog. Do you want to start a personal website?"

Igarashi Runa was communicating with someone while holding the phone in one hand. After responding, she realized something and looked up at him.

As a gold medal agent, in addition to her job, she has some knowledge of various professional fields. Basically, she knows a little, but not much.

That's why she could tell that Yuki Ichinose's photography skills were very high. Maybe not as good as some masters, but also very professional.

And this photographer is none other than Kurosawa Hikaru. If he wants to develop in the photography industry, it is possible.

"Aren't I supposed to be Yuki-chan's photographer? I want another way to promote her."

Kurosawa Hikaru nodded and told her his plan, wanting to hear her opinion.

"That's great. If your photography works become famous, you can achieve mutual success if you only photograph her. But personal websites are not very useful. If a photographer wants to become famous, the best way is to use social platforms with large traffic such as Twitter."

Igarashi Runa's eyes lit up and she immediately became energetic.

Putting aside personal feelings, Yuki Ichinose really has great potential as a model.

Maybe her height makes it impossible for her to become a supermodel, but her height of just over 1.6 meters and her stunning beauty make her extremely popular in the fashion industry across Asia.

Moreover, her ability to attract fans is very strong. With just two sets of photos, she has more than 500,000 followers on Twitter. She has become an Internet celebrity even without any formal business activities, operation or packaging by an agency.

Although her number of fans is fake, most of them are just for fun and are simply attracted by her appearance. They are mainly attracted by the fact that she is a high school girl, a hot JK, and her past scandals.

But no matter what, the fact that she has an extremely attractive appearance has been verified by the market.

"I know that in addition to personal websites, platforms like Twitter will naturally not be missed."

After getting her affirmation, Kurosawa Hikaru also made a decision.

"I can help you run the account. You just need to shoot the works and I will take care of the rest."

"Okay, speaking of which, what is the earning power of models?"

While thinking, Kurosawa Mitsuru became a little curious.

His knowledge of the modeling industry is limited to searching on the Internet.

"It depends on what you compare it to. If you are compared to yourself, even the most profitable models are not as outrageous as you... You can attract a sky-high contract worth tens of billions of yen with just one video and one performance, and earn 5 billion yen a year, and that doesn't even include other endorsements you can take on."

Igarashi Runa didn't know what he expected, so she just sighed.

So much time has passed, and every time she thinks of the sky-high contract offered by Kawai, she is filled with emotion.

Ten billion yen over two years, if such an endorsement were successful, it would definitely be big news.

According to the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to 75 million US dollars in two years. Although it is a bit hard, this amount is really exaggerated. Basically, as long as you sign the contract and work hard for two years, you will be financially free.

"I just want to know, if Yuki-chan becomes a famous model, will she be able to afford a supercar and a mansion?"

Kurosawa Hikaru explained without intending to compare who was better.

Xiao Yuki's current goal and ideal is to buy him a supercar, and then buy a luxury house as their home.

The purpose of asking this question was to find out whether Xiao Yuki's dream could be realized.

"Although the Japanese modeling industry is not as lucrative as the supermodeling industry in Europe and the United States, if you are famous, it is not a problem to buy these things."

Knowing what he wanted to ask, Igarashi Runa said immediately.

"That's fine." After confirming this, Kurosawa Mitsuru felt a lot more at ease.

"Let me make it clear in advance. I have a clear distinction between public and private affairs. I don't dislike Ms. Ichinose. After she signs the contract, if I find her a business partner and it's very busy and tiring, don't think that I'm abusing her for personal gain."

Speaking of this, Igarashi Runa thought about it and decided to make things clear first.

"I know you don't hate her. If not, you wouldn't have told Ms. Ninomiya on my behalf that she wants to join the agency. She wants to be a model, and I'll ask you to protect her in the future."

When Kurosawa Mitsuru heard this, he shook his head and laughed.

"Come to think of it, you still address Chizuru as Miss Ninomiya, why don't you change it?"

Hearing this, Igarashi Runa couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, secretly happy that he had some conscience and noticed the way he addressed her.

"I was planning to change, but the relationship is very strained right now. I'll change it when we get back together."

Speaking of this, Kurosawa Mitsuru smiled bitterly.

I couldn't change it before because Ms. Ninomiya is a teacher at the University of Tokyo.
