431. Stupid
Aoki Jiro had other thoughts in his heart, and the whole person's attention could no longer be concentrated, his eyes began to be hollow, and he was obviously distracted, on the contrary, Noda Kumaichi on the side became more serious the more he listened. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In Noda Kuma's heart, he has never doubted the quality of Nie Wei's songs, but this song "Prisoner-Of-Love" still makes him feel amazing, you must know that it is difficult for musicians from other countries to grasp the essence of Japanese pop music, because he embodies the characteristics of a nation, and even the musicians in the Takakushima music circle, which is closely integrated with the Japanese music circle, can't do it, and in his opinion, Nie Wei is also difficult to do.
But the truth was just the opposite of what he thought, Nie Wei not only did it, but also did it very well.
First of all, the melody of this song is simply the most quintessential Japanese style, and the lexical words are accurate, and the lyrics are also substantial, but the melody matches very well, and it is a song written by a person with a story.
And such a song will also make people feel very resonant, and it will not make people feel sick and moan.
But the most surprising thing for Noda Kumaichi is Nie Wei's creative ability, I thought that Nie Wei was good at Chinese pop music and some world soundtracks, but now it seems that he still far underestimates this musician, he obviously has a deep knowledge of Japanese pop music, which is the biggest treasure he found in China this time.
When they finished listening to a song, neither of them took off their headphones, Jiro Aoki was a little distracted, while Kumaichi Noda was immersed in the beautiful melody just now and was reminiscing.
It wasn't until Nie Wei patted the two of them on the shoulder that they came back to their senses.
Taking off the headset, Noda Kumaichi did not hesitate to praise himself, and said loudly to Nie Wei: "Mr. Nie Wei, your attainments in Japanese pop music are admirable, I am glad that I did not blindly draw conclusions, otherwise I would have missed a good song today." β
After speaking, Noda Kumaichi didn't forget to give a thumbs up to Alain on the side, and said enviously: "Miss Alain, your teacher is a true genius. β
"I think so too. Alain's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.
Seeing the girl's happy smile, Noda Kumaichi secretly envied in his heart, with the backing of Nie Wei, this girl who is very good in her own right As long as she is willing to work hard, it is really not difficult to become popular, which also makes Noda Kumaichi look forward to this cooperation even more, after all, as long as the cooperation is successful, Alan will also become a member of their company, and Nie Wei will also become a powerful helper, maybe he can really be able to hold out a Chinese singer in Japan.
At this moment, Aoki Jiro's face on the side was a little unpleasant, mainly in response to what Noda Kumaichi said just now, what is called 'blind conclusion'? It is obviously an allusion to what he said at the banquet yesterday.
Thinking of this, Aoki Jiro felt a little pain in his face, as if he had been slapped twice, and he didn't expect that Nie Wei had grasped the essence of Japanese pop music, so he had no room to find fault at all.
After all, a good song is a good song, not to mention the expatriate head of a business department, even if he gets it to the head office and hands it over to Sony's most powerful musician, he must get the same answer, and this song also completely proves that his remarks yesterday are completely wrong.
It's just that the more he feels that he is wrong, the more Aoki Jiro feels that it is a pity that this song is handed over to Alain, a newcomer, especially Alain does not have any fame in Japan, and she sings it, not to mention whether it can be sung well, even in terms of the sales of the completed single, I am afraid that it will not be able to maximize the benefits.
If this song is given to a well-known female singer to sing, that is the real profit maximization, which is also the result of Aoki Jiro believes that it should be pursued.
"Mr. Nie Wei, I admit the mistake I made yesterday, I'm sorry. After Aoki Jiro retracted his thoughts, he immediately stood up, bowed to Nie Wei ninety degrees without hesitation, and apologized.
This startled the other people in the studio, after all, this apology came too suddenly, and it was too unprepared, a ninety-degree bow and apology is too rare in China, and it makes people feel confused, how did this Japanese offend Nie Wei, and now they are so formally apologizing?
Facing everyone's eyes, Nie Wei behaved very calmly, he first helped Aoki Jiro up before replying: "Mr. Aoki, I just hope you don't jump to conclusions too early next time." β
Nie Wei's fluttering words made Aoki Jiro feel a little blushing again, this mistake was indeed unforgivable in his opinion, so he apologized again: "I'm sorry, Mr. Nie Wei, I'm too subjective in looking at the problem, I hope you won't affect the cooperation between you and our Sony because of yesterday's remarks, and now after listening to your work, we Sony will definitely show greater sincerity." β
"We love Baker will also show the greatest sincerity, and it must be more sincere than Sony!" Noda Kumaichi on the side said immediately, for fear that Nie Wei would be moved by the golden sign of 'Sony'.
Noda Kumaichi's worries are not unreasonable, Nie Wei was not impressed and couldn't see it, but several musicians on the side, and even the vice president Wu Ming did have a look of intention on their faces after hearing Aoki Jiro's assurance, Noda Kumaichi knew very well the attraction of the 'Sony' signboard, so he gave a promise so urgently, and even did not hesitate to directly compete with Aoki Jiro face to face.
However, in the face of Noda Kumaichi's provocative words, Aoki Jiro raised his head slightly, with a look of disdain to respond.
Noda Xiong's face was a little red, he was angry, he really wanted to give this compatriot an old punch now, you Sony are cows, you are a world-class record company, but you don't take our love Bakers so seriously, right?
Thinking of this, Noda Kumaichi decided to take advantage of the victory and pursued after him, and for the first time raised a request for negotiation in front of Nie Wei.
"Don't worry, we'll talk about cooperation tomorrow, you guys have a good rest today, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. Nie Wei didn't seem to be in a hurry at this time, and didn't forget to order the staff on the side to take the two Japanese to visit several places of interest in Kyoto.
However, neither Noda Kumaichi nor Aoki Jiro are obviously in this mood, and the two of them can be described as Huaxia Tong, and they have seen the places of interest in Kyoto many times, so how can they be interested.
After rejecting Nie Wei's 'kindness', because of Nie Wei's words, the two could only return to the hotel.
After entering the room, the two took out their mobile phones and dialed their bosses.
Noda Kumaichi reported the matter truthfully to the president above on the phone, and finally did not forget to comment on Nie Wei's song, which is a song that can be included in the song of the year.
"Remember the melody, please sing it to me. Beichuan on the other side of the phone said.
As soon as Noda Kuma thought about it, he sang the most poisonous melody at the beginning, but although he worked in a record company, his singing voice was really not very good, and his boss Kitagawa frowned.
But after singing a short melody, Kitagawa, a real professional musician, has already restored this melody of this song in his mind, and it can also be determined that Noda Kumaichi's words are not exaggerated.
"Do you think Nie Wei can continue to maintain this level of creativity?" Beichuan asked after a long time of reflection.
"Nie Wei has a lot of works, and it is rare that each of them can be called a masterpiece, this is a really talented person, according to the average peak period of a musician's creation, Nie Wei has at least ten years of peak creation, and I think the number of fine works will not be less than 100!"
As soon as Noda Xiongyi finished saying this, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, because at this time, he suddenly remembered that if Nie Wei really maintained the quality of creation as he said, it would not take ten years, only five years, and he could be called a phenomenal musician.
"And ......" Beichuan suddenly added: "If it is really as you said, then Mr. Nie Wei's learning ability is also breathtaking, maybe we will have more cooperation in the future, outside of Asia." β
Kitagawa's words made Noda Kuma's heart skip a beat, he fully understood the meaning of Kitagawa's words, since Nie Wei can have such attainments in Japanese pop music, then who dares to guarantee that he is not good at European and American pop music?
Even if he is not good at it now, with Nie Wei's ability, as long as he is willing, I believe he will be able to do it.
"You're right. Thinking of this, Noda Kumaichi immediately replied, fully agreeing with Kitagawa's point of view.
"Then the cooperation conditions given before are not very sincere, and now I announce that the cooperation conditions in your hand are invalid, and we will give a new condition within two hours, and we must reach a cooperation with Huayi Records before Sony. Beichuan made a decisive decision, as one of the company's decision-makers, he could not be blinded by temporary interests, and he had to look at it for a longer time.
And in a room not far from Noda Kuaichi, Sony's record boss Nakaba Ryochi was also reprimanding Aoki Jiro with these words.
During the call just now, Jiro Aoki reported everything he saw to Nakaba Ryotomo, including the mistakes he made.
Of course, he didn't forget to tell Nakaba Liang Zhi that he wanted to take down this song and give it to his female singer Hikaru Utada to sing.
"BOSS, the style of this song is really suitable for Hikaru Utada, just like it was tailor-made for her, just right for Uta to consolidate her position, and even chase after the victory, surpassing Ayumi Hamasaki of Aibex, and completely snatching her throne after the first day. β
It's not for nothing that Aoki Jiro said this, although Ayumi Hamasaki is still Japan's top diva, but since 04, the rising speed of Udada Hikaru has threatened this super diva, and the most exciting thing for Sony is that at the end of last year, the two album release dates collided, and the last birth was Udada Hikaru, which made Sony Music suddenly discover that this former super diva is not invincible.
This is also the reason why Aoki immediately thought about Hikaru Utada after hearing the song, firstly, this song is really suitable for Hikaru Utada, and he also hopes that through this song, he can get closer to this female star who is about to become a super diva.
"Stupid!" It's just that when he said his thoughts, all he got in exchange was such a comment from Liang Zhi, and he was full of anger.
Aoki was also a little stunned when he heard this, and it wasn't until Liang Zhi spoke again that he came back to his senses.
"Do you think that a song can make Hikaru Utada defeat Ayumi Hamasaki? NaΓ―ve, and your move is very inappropriate, what about your vision? Can't you see that the biggest treasure in this matter is actually Mr. Nie Wei? Your stupid idea will only push Mr. Nie Wei farther and farther, and when the time comes, we will not only not be able to get the song, but we will also completely lose the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Nie Wei!"
"I now order you to return to China at once, and I will send another candidate to discuss cooperation. After Nakaba Liang Zhi finished speaking, he hung up the phone, not giving Aoki Jiro a chance to explain at all.
Aoki Jiro's face turned pale, and he didn't notice when the phone slipped and fell to the ground, because at this time he had only one thought in his mind, and that was over.
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Noda Kumaichi set off from the hotel on time, but he didn't meet Jiro Aoki at the door, thinking that the other party had left the hotel early, until Huayi Records, he still didn't see the opponent, but five minutes later, a strange compatriot came.
Seeing this compatriot, Noda Kumaichi's heart sank, knowing that something must be wrong with Aoki, Sony temporarily adjusted the negotiator.
This is good and bad for Noda Kumaichi, the new negotiator will definitely not be able to make an accurate judgment on Huayi Records as clearly as himself, and without the communication process with Nie Wei and Alain, there will be a lot less certainty, but there are also a lot of disadvantages, at least this strange compatriot must be here to make up for the mistakes made by Aoki, which must also bring greater sincerity.
How big is Sony's energy, as a member of Aibex, he knows it very well, if Sony really competes with Aibex for this cooperation opportunity, the conditions they offer will definitely be much better than Aibeks, after all, the background is there, and now I only hope that Sony's attention to Huayi Records will still maintain the original level, so that Aibex still has a chance.
The representatives on both sides did not communicate until Nie Wei came, just sat on both sides of the conference room, clearly distinguished, and no one spoke, until Nie Wei walked in with the negotiation team of Huayi Records, and the oppressive atmosphere in the conference room was swept away.
The two sides introduced it again, and Nie Wei had already been notified of Sony's substitution negotiations, so it was not surprising at this moment.
"Mr. Noda, Mr. Uchiyama, I have two more words to say before the negotiations. Nie Wei stood in the main seat, his hands propped up on the table, and his body leaned forward slightly, making everyone who looked at him feel a sense of oppression.
Noda Kumaichi even felt the kind of pressure when facing his own president on Nie Wei. (To be continued.) )
