Tokyo's most affectionate

"so much……"

When Kurosawa Mitsuru heard this number, he was a little shocked.

154 million, this is an exaggerated number... Although it can't be compared with the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala, it is already a very impressive number for a single.

"YouTube is the video website with the largest number of users in the world, with billions of viewers, and the traffic is incredible. Do you know how many views the single video with the highest number of views on the first day in the world had in 24 hours?"

Igarashi Runa nodded slightly, and then asked.

"How many?"

"Would you like to take a guess?"

"thirty million."

Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it. Although he reached 183 million views in just one hour, this was announced in advance after all. The growth rate of the number of views should decline in the future.

“Much more than that.”

"Sixty million?"

Hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru's heart skipped a beat and his money doubled.

“It’s still far more than that.”

Regarding this speculation, Igarashi Runa smiled and shook her head.

"One hundred million?"

It's far more terrifying than this, Kurosawa Mitsuru thought of a number and couldn't help but say.

"That's right. The number of views on the first day exceeded 16 million, ranking first in the world. The number of views accumulated over the past two years is now billion. This is a record set by a national-level group in South Korea. Currently, in terms of the number of views of piano music alone, you broke the record for the highest number of views on the first day of a piano music in just one hour."

Seeing that he finally guessed it right, Igarashi Runa nodded slightly and explained.

After all, piano music is not pop music, so it does not receive enough attention.

"Such an exaggeration..."

Kurosawa Hikaru was shocked by the data, the traffic on YouTube, and the influence of the national group.

Although the number of views on YouTube, in terms of singles, is high, each user will accumulate a lot of views through repeated playback. But to achieve such data, the influence of that national-level group is absolutely phenomenal.

"Maybe their number of views is ridiculous, but you don't need to be discouraged, because you are on a different path. In particular, your ability to make money is simply terrifying, much better than those groups."

Igarashi Runa saw his expression and also laughed.

Just a video or a performance can attract a contract worth tens of billions of dollars.

Although the contract was not signed and it was not easy to get the money, it required two years of running around and hard work. It was also thanks to Kawai Piano's desire to gamble, but Kurosawa's potential was unquestionable.

Chapter 329 No One Understands Better Than Me...

"The number of views on the first day exceeded 100 million..."

Kurosawa Hikaru savored this record, feeling somewhat heated.

Although he has decided to work hard and strive for the time being, he wants to quickly develop the firm and make enough money so that Miss Ninomiya can leave the bank with her head held high in front of her parents.

But after he acquired the talents of singing and playing the piano, he also developed a desire to become an artist.

Everyone has a dream of becoming a star.

This dream of becoming a star does not specifically refer to professions such as artists or singers, but is a kind of vanity.

People’s pursuit of money, fame and fortune is very real. This is true for both men and women, who all desire to be admired and appreciated by others.

"Since its release, Croatian Rhapsody has accumulated 8300 million views. Since reaching million views, the upward trend has slowed down. But I think it will still reach million views within a month, thanks to the traffic and publicity of Flight of the Bumblebee."

Seeing that he cared about this, Igarashi Runa also said.

Lingshi’s official debut was last month, on August 8st.

It is already an exaggeration that the first single, which is a piano piece, could achieve such a result.

“Is the number of views so high?”

Maybe it's not as good as others' first-day revenue of over 100 million, but it is the world's first record after all. Kurosawa Hikaru is very clear that his achievement is already very impressive.

After all, he has just debuted, become famous not long ago, and has not released an album yet.

"Croatian Rhapsody is the most popular piano single video on YouTube right now... and it's OK as long as the number of views is high enough, there's no need to pursue the highest number. After all, it's just a pure piano single, and there's a clear difference between it and those pop singles."

Igarashi Runa was also very happy.

"What's the difference?"

"The reason why those singles have such high playback volume is that the music videos are very well done and the songs are well done. A pop song will use a wide variety of instruments, as well as a series of post-production processes such as mixing, lyrics, performance, dance, and performance effects."

"MV?"

After understanding the key factors, Kurosawa Mitsuru was thoughtful.

"There is a fatal flaw in 'Croatian Rhapsody', which is that the music video is just you sitting there playing the piano. Let's invite a team to shoot the next new video, especially 'Adeline by the Water'."

Speaking of this, Igarashi Runa couldn't help but feel regretful.

She should have spent a lot of money to hire a professional director to shoot the MV.

Even though Kurosawa Hikaru's photography skills are excellent, he has to play the piano and take photos at the same time, so he simply can't do both.

"You can hire a team, but I will be the one to lead the MV shooting."

Regarding this decision, Kurosawa Hikaru expressed his thoughts.

"You want to be the director of the MV?" Igarashi Runa was a little surprised.

“No one understands the mood and emotions of those piano pieces better than I do.”

Kurosawa Hikaru is very sure about this matter.

Perhaps it would be easier to hire a director, but as a photographer and a painter, he is very confident in the language of the lens and has absolute confidence in his own aesthetics.

The most important thing is that he has already decided on the heroine for the MV, and that is Yuki.

In this world, there is absolutely no one who understands the beauty of Yuki better than him.

"That's right... You mean, you only want to hire a photography team to help you shoot, but not a director?"

Igarashi Runa felt that the words made sense, and then confirmed it.

"For example, for set designers, prop designers, and lighting technicians, it would be easier if they had someone to help them."

"Then I'll look for it later, are we going to make an MV for the next video?"

"Correct."

Kurosawa Hikaru realized the importance of the MV and decided to take action.

It just so happens that Yuki's joining the agency has been settled, and she only needs to sign the contract to become an artist of the agency.

He wanted better results for his next single MV, and he also wanted to use this opportunity to let Yuki-chan debut by leveraging Zero Hour’s fame.

"Which video are you going to post next? Adeline by the water?"

"Adeline by the water, I won't post it for now."

Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head without hesitation in this direction.

"Why? This song has great potential."

Igarashi Runa didn't understand why he made this decision.

In her opinion, Adeline at the Water's Edge is a very good piano piece. Although it may not be as good as Flight of the Bumblebee in terms of audiovisual effects, as a romantic piano piece, it will be very enjoyable to watch if it can be made into a good MV.

You know, the audience for love songs is very broad.

"Adeline by the Water is a piano piece I gave to Ms. Ninomiya... If she saw that the heroine of the MV was someone else, she would definitely be jealous."

In response to her question, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled bitterly.

"Let her be jealous if she wants to. If she's still jealous, it means she still cares about you. Sometimes you have to fight poison with poison."

Realizing his concerns, Igarashi Runa said immediately.

"You are so cruel to your best friend..."

Hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru choked and looked at her in surprise.

"What you said...it's just your relationship. Without some strong stimulation, it's difficult to get back together."

Facing his regretful look, Igarashi Runa was speechless and explained.

She knew Chizuru too well. Chizuru's style of action was, in most cases, driven by rationality.

If you want her to take the initiative, you must give her very strong stimulation. The lukewarm approach won't work.

To be honest, she was really anxious to see that their relationship was so strained and they never reconciled.

It was obvious that they loved each other, and even though they parted ways because of a temporary disagreement, they still cared about each other in their hearts, but they did not reconcile.

If one of these two people was bolder and more proactive, everything would have been fine long ago.

"But there are some bottom lines. If it's not Ms. Ninomiya who shoots the film, I will only consider Yuki Ko for the MV heroine." Kurosawa Hikaru said with a wry smile.

He naturally knew that it was not easy to make Miss Ninomiya forgive and accept his multiple relationships. Something special had to happen.

But this particular matter cannot be like this.

"All right……"

Realizing his situation, Igarashi Runa was suddenly speechless.

This does involve the bottom line. If Chizuru saw that the piano piece Kurosawa gave her was played by Yuki Ichinose as the heroine of the MV, it would not be as simple as jealousy.

"So which video are you going to release next?"

Igarashi Runa was a little curious.

In fact, she felt that the three piano pieces that Kurosawa recorded later today, "Adeline at the Water's Edge", "Wedding in a Dream", and "Autumn Whispers", were all quite difficult.

Because these three are romantic piano pieces, and even if she is a layman, she can hear that the tunes and melodies of these three piano pieces are very similar.

Especially "Wedding in a Dream", look at the title of this song, letting Ms. Ichinose be the heroine of the MV, I am afraid it will be more lethal than "Adeline by the Waterside".

"I'm still thinking about it. Let me come up with the music video first."

Kurosawa Hikaru didn't rush to give an answer, but said.

He was conceiving a piano piece tonight, and he actually already had an idea of ​​the other tracks for the album.

"Then take your time, we just posted the video."

Igarashi Runa saw that he had not made a decision yet, so she didn't rush him.

"Ah."

Kurosawa Hikaru knew that some things could not be rushed, which was why he did not make a decision immediately.

It is definitely better to think twice before you act than to act directly.

"We're at your door."

Not long after, the car stopped and Igarashi Runa reminded.

"Thank you. Be careful on your way back and get some rest early."

Kurosawa Mitsuru unbuckled his seat belt and said the same thing.

"You have a part-time tutoring job tomorrow, so you should be busy until about 10 o'clock, right? I'll pick you up then, and we can go to the office and wait for the result for 24 hours together. How about that?"

Igarashi Runa saw that he was about to leave and thought about his schedule for tomorrow, so she suggested.

The views and response of the second video are a crucial step for the development and prospects of the firm.

Tonight was undoubtedly a great success, and according to her previous habits, celebration was necessary at this time.

Because every success is hard-won and must be given enough attention.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I won't be free tomorrow night. I plan to chat with Yuki-chan."

Hearing this invitation, Kurosawa Mitsuru paused, hesitated for a few seconds, and shook his head.

In this situation, if he wanted to launch an offensive against Miss Runa, he should take the opportunity to suggest going to an izakaya.
