The concert started at 7:30 p.m., and before that, Akutagawa's agency team and organizers held a regular media conference. In front of the Chinese and Japanese media, the organizers first briefly introduced the preparations for the evening concert and some things to know, and then Akutagawa Aika's agent Tetsuya Okawa said: "This concert is honored to invite the very young and talented Mr. Li Xiang to participate. He will sing the classic song "Later" with Aijia. ”

Seeing that there was a bit of a commotion in the media, Tetsuya Okawa continued: "There is another layer of meaning to this chorus, and I will take this opportunity to report to you here. After friendly negotiation and in line with the principle of win-win cooperation, Mr. Li Xiang and Ai Jia both hope that music lovers in Huaxia and Fuso can hear more beautiful songs, so the day before yesterday, we have reached an agreement that Mr. Li Xiang has authorized his songs to Akutagawa Aijia for Japanese covers. Classics like "Later" and "Sunny Day" will soon be available in Japanese, and Ai Jia will present you with another style of interpretation, and she will work very hard, please let everyone know. ”

As soon as his voice fell, the reporters on the scene, whether they were from Huaxia or Fusang, raised their hands one after another, and they couldn't wait for the host to ask questions.

"Why did Akutagawa Aika choose to cover Li Xiang's songs?"

Tetsuya Okawa said: "Because these songs are very good, Ai Jia himself likes them very much, and I very much hope that more music lovers can enjoy them." ”

A reporter asked: "Which song is Ai Jia going to cover? In addition to "Later" to be sung tonight and "Sunny Day" you just mentioned, what are the other songs?"

Tetsuya Okawa said: "There are many more, most of Mr. Li Xiang's songs have been licensed to us, you don't have to worry about the specific content, there will be an official announcement in the evening, and you will know in detail." ”

Another reporter asked: "So how is the copyright fee determined?"

Tetsuya Okawa replied, "We were very sincere and offered a royalty that was difficult to refuse. ”

"How much, is it 3.5 percent?"

Tetsuya Okawa said: "I'm really sorry, this is a trade secret, so it's inconvenient to tell you, but it's definitely higher than that." ”

After answering some questions, he saw that it was not too early, so he said: "This is the end of today's media conference, please enjoy Aijia's concert in the evening." ”

At the same time, Li Xiang's studio issued an official announcement at this point in time as agreed, informing all fans of the news of authorizing Akutagawa Aijia's cover.

The well-known music critic "Le Shengtao" commented on this matter for the first time, writing: "First of all, I want to congratulate Akutagawa Aijia and Li Xiang, this is a good thing for both parties, and a win-win situation is certain." Akutagawa Aijia can further expand her influence and impact the new generation of singers in Fuso, and even she can use this to expand the Chinese market. For Li Xiang, he was able to use the shortcut of Akutagawa Aika to enter the Japanese music market. I don't know if he has any plans to open up the Japanese market, but I very much hope that he will take action on it, and you know, the size of the Japanese music market is twice that of China! I can imagine that the people of Fuso will definitely like these excellent songs of Li Xiang very much, and I have no worries about that. What I want to say is what this event represents. ”

"We've always had a tradition of covering Japanese songs, and many of the classic songs are actually in Japanese. Fusang rarely covers Chinese songs, which directly reflects the gap in strength between the two major music circles. This time, Akutagawa Aika covered almost all of Li Xiang's songs in one go, which has never been done in previous history, and I think that in ten or twenty years, everyone will realize the symbolic significance of this event. ”

"That's the first point I'm going to make. The second point is that you may not know that the price of covering Japanese songs is very high, and the copyright fees we have to pay are staggering. For example, Meng Xianhua's recent cover of Akutagawa Aijia's "Adventure" has a staggering 8% of the copyright fee, while conversely, Japanese singers need to pay very little for covering Chinese songs. This inequality persists and shows no signs of changing for a long time. ”

However, now it seems that Li Xiang has brought changes to everyone. Although I don't know the specific percentage of the copyright fee, I think it will not be less than 5% if Akutagawa Aijia's agent can say that the percentage is very high. It's still hard to compare with 8%, but it's much better than the most common 3.5%......"

"Finally, Li Xiang is a singer I like very much, since his debut, he has brought us many classic tracks, and now he can be covered by Akutagawa Aijia, which is a full affirmation of him, and I look forward to this time it will become a milestone for Li Xiang to go out of China and go to Asia and even the world. ”

……

At half past seven in the evening, the concert officially began. Originally, the organizers wanted Li Xiang to appear in the finale and sing the Japanese version of "Later" with Akutagawa Aijia, but after communication, he was transferred to the beginning stage so that he could arrange the next activities. After Akutagawa Aika sang the opening song "One Kilometer Along the Coast", Li Xiang was invited to sing.

Amid the cheers of the 10,000 spectators at the scene, Akutagawa Aika said: "As you already know, Li Xiangjun and I have started our cooperation, and now we will bring the first song of the collaboration, which is also your favorite "Later", we have slightly adapted this song in the past few days, and now it is a Japanese version, I hope you will like it." ”

Later, it wasn't a duet, but it wasn't hard to change. After Li Xiang and Akutagawa Aika sang this song, they left.

He found Huang Youyi, who was waiting in the dressing room, backstage and asked, "Don't you really plan to watch the concert?"

Huang Youyi saw that there was no one in the dressing room and the door was closed, so she boldly took his hand, leaned on him, and said, "There are too many people at the concert, I just want to be with you now." ”

Li Xiang said: "Throw yourself into the net, go!"

Huang Youyi smiled and asked, "Don't you have to say hello to Akutagawa Aijia?"

Li Xiang said: "No, I already told her before I went on stage, and I will leave after singing, I wish her good luck." ”

Huang Youyi suddenly asked: "Does a petite, cute and beautiful girl like her make you very protective?"

Li Xiang said, "Huh, why do you say that?"

Huang Youyi said, "Isn't it?"

Li Xiang said: "Maybe some boys are, but I'm not, I prefer girls with long legs." ”

The two put on their hats and masks again, and left the dressing room hand in hand, Huang Youyi asked as she walked, "Then you don't like cute girls?"

There will always be times when a girl has no confidence in her gains and losses, no matter how good she is. Li Xiang was not impatient, but was very happy, and Huang Youyi asked these questions, indicating that he cared about him very much.

"Of course, cute girls are also very likable, but cuteness is worthless in the face of sexiness," he said. ”

The two of them walked out of the theater and walked under the neon lights of the magic capital, Huang Youyi asked: "What about Master Dou Dou? They are so cute, don't you like them? I think you like it very much." ”

Li Xiang said: "That's a small radish head, you can't take it out and compare." ”

Huang Youyi: "Ha, you are a double standard. ”

Li Xiang said: "I didn't finish what I said just now, cuteness is worthless in front of sexiness, but sexiness will disappear with age, and cuteness is a lifetime thing." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Huang Youyi to ask again, he said again: "You are a sexy and cute girl." ”
