CHAPTER XXVIII

LESS THAN 10 MINUTES AFTER MATSUURA LEFT, MISIA'S PHONE CALLED.

"KAI, I'M SORRY, THE AGENCY JUST INFORMED ME, I ......"

MISIA SAID THIS, SHE COULDN'T GO ON.

Lin Hai had never dealt with this low-key girl in his previous life, and although he had only met once in his life, he had a good impression of her, and said gently: "I'm sorry for the trouble...... Don't take it to heart, miss this time, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. ”

"Well, I'm sorry, thank you......"

MISIA'S NASAL VOICE IS GETTING HEAVIER.

Lin Hai knew that she was wronged.

MISIA IS A SIMPLE GIRL, SO SIMPLE THAT SINGING IS ALL SHE HAS, BUT KATSUTO MATSUNURA EVEN HAS TO TAKE THIS SIMPLE DESIRE AWAY FROM HER.

LIN HAI HAD NO DOUBT THAT EVEN IF HE SOLD THE SONG TO AI HUI, MISIA WOULD DEFINITELY BE KICKED OUT.

This is the entertainment industry.

Fairness?Speak with strength?hehe......

……

Hanging up the phone, Lin Hai couldn't help but shake his head.

Xiaomi Oshima understood the situation, scolded "a man with a small belly and chicken intestines", and then asked puzzledly: "Isn't MISIA an artist of BMG?"

Lin Hai shook his head and said: "Strictly speaking, she is now an artist of Ai Hui, but she has not applied for emigration......

The emigration here does not refer to nationality, but to the artist's belonging.

MISIA participated in the audition in Fukuoka last year, and attracted the attention of all parties with her strong voice, and was finally signed by BMG.

But BMG regretted it after signing MISIA.

Why?

Because BMG believes that MISIA does not have the potential to become popular.

BMG's judgment is related to MISIA's personality. MISIA LIKES TO SING, BUT SHE ONLY LIKES TO SING, AND SHE IS VERY RESISTANT TO THE PUBLICITY ACTIVITIES ARRANGED BY THE COMPANY, AND SHE IS FORCED TO PARTICIPATE IN SEVERAL TIMES, AND HER PERFORMANCE IS NOT SATISFACTORY.

BMG felt that she had no future, so without her knowledge, he sold her to Ai Hui.

This approach is similar to the resale of players by football clubs, selling for a "contract period", and for newcomers, there is no room for resistance.

IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MISIA SHOULD HAVE MOVED BACK TO AI BY THEN, BUT THE TWO COMPANIES HAD JUST COMPLETED THE DEAL WHEN THE SITUATION SUDDENLY CHANGED.

At that time, MISIA had already finished recording the single "Surrounded by Affection", and BMG released a small number of 5,000 8-inch vinyl records based on the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is also meat, but it was quickly sold out as soon as it was released, and many music fans who couldn't buy it in Tokyo even rushed to other places to buy it.

At the same time, the song also hit the singles chart in one fell swoop, ranking 93rd.

Seeing this, BMG hurriedly launched a 12-inch record, and in just three months, nearly 500,000 copies were sold, and the singles list even rushed into the Top 10!

And to this day, no music magazine has reported on her, no commercials, no dramas, not even the record sleeve can not see the deity, the whole entertainment industry is asking, "Who is she?"

After this series of changes, if you still can't see the huge commercial value of MISIA, the president of BMG simply finds a piece of tofu and kills him.

However, by this time, BMG had already sold the person to Ai Hui.

Although Ai Hui smiled from ear to ear, BMG's intestines were remorseful, so BMG began to play tricks.

Bottom line: MISIA's own opinion was not consulted when he was sold, so the transaction didn't count!

Of course, Ai Hui refused to agree.

The two companies then began to argue, and it was not until Zhou Fang Yuxiong came forward to mediate that an agreement was reached.

According to the final agreement between the two parties, the actual ownership of MISIA belongs to Ai Hui, but before the expiration of the contract signed between her and BMG, BMG will be responsible for the production and distribution of the records, and the profits generated will be divided equally between the two companies.

To put it simply, MISIA "transferred" from BMG to Ai Hui, and then was "loaned" to BMG by Ai Hui.

……

It stands to reason that MISIA should be taken seriously by being fought over by two pirates, even to the point where One Piece has come forward, right?

In fact, quite the opposite.

BMG is reluctant to invest too many resources in MISIA, which is destined to be a waste of money, and the record is true (because it makes money), but it is not necessary to think about promoting it.

Ai Hui, on the other hand, prefers to sit back and enjoy the results, and does not plan to invest any resources at all before the person gets his hands on it.

……

To outsiders, MISIA's situation is somewhat awkward.

She doesn't think so.

It's too late for her to be able to focus on her singing career while staying away from those pesky publicity campaigns.

In fact, in the rest of her career, she has always refused to appear in promotional projects, such as TV music programs, until 2012, in order to promote public welfare activities in Africa, she made an exception to participate in the year-end Red and White Song Party (similar to the Spring Festival Gala).

It is probably this focus that has enabled MISIA to gain the favor of fate despite the unfavorable publicity. If history does not change, then her upcoming debut album "Parents and Brothers and Sisters" will have accumulated sales of more than 3 million copies, and won the Golden Disc Award, Pop Album of the Year, Newcomer of the Year and other awards, and then become a new diva in one fell swoop!

To be honest, the gold content of her "Queen of Heaven Crown" is much higher than that of the three major singers. You must know that after 20 years of baptism, when the three major singers are no longer beautiful, MISIA's popularity is still undiminished, still maintaining a pure heart, and climbing higher in a low-key manner......

……

Lin Hai has some regrets about not being able to cooperate with MISIA, but the most regrettable thing is not him.

ALTHOUGH SHE HASN'T KNOWN MISIA FOR A LONG TIME, XIONG GUANG HAS COMPLETELY INCARNATED HER FAN SISTER, OPENING HER MOUTH AND CLOSING HER MOUTH "HOW IS MISIA'S SISTER". After receiving a call from Lin Hai and learning that MISIA would quit, Hikaru Utada rushed to the bar as fast as he could, and asked, "Why?!"

Lin Hai explained the reason, Xiong Guang gritted his teeth with hatred after hearing it, but he was helpless.

HYDE POURED A DRINK FOR Hikaru Utada, who hesitated and pushed the cup back: "I'd better drink water." By the way, it should be at room temperature. ”

Seeing this, Lin Hai smiled with relief.

Although the results are not satisfactory, it is not empty joy, at least the bear child has gradually become self-disciplined under the influence of MISIA.

After drinking water and wiping his sweat with Lin Hai's T-shirt, Hikaru Utada asked, "What next?"

"Wait a minute, let me think about it. ”

I can't sing it myself.

A few days ago, when I tried to record a sample, Lin Hai found that his original idea was too simple, and the current Auto-Tune is far less powerful than it was later.

At the moment, the chorus part of "The-Monster" has to find a female singer to sing.

After Matsuura Katsuto's incident, Lin Hai doesn't want to find singers who have already debuted, but there are too few singers who have not yet debuted.

Lin Hai's first thought was his classmate Ai Otsuka, but then rejected the idea.

Ai Otsuka is not even as good as Hikaru Utada in terms of singing skills, she is positioned as a singer-songwriter, and her voice is too sweet.

Who else?

Lin Hai racked his brains and thought about it, and suddenly patted his head - how could he forget her!

Lin Hai asked HYDE, "Do you know a shakuhachi master surnamed Koda?"

HYDE shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, you can ask Mr. Watanabe." ”

Lin Hai thought about it right, so he called Watanabe.

The phone was connected, and Watanabe preemptively said, "I just heard about it, you don't plan to make me a lobbyist, do you? ”

"What do you say, I want to ask you personally. ”

Lin Hai said what he had asked HYDE before.

Watanabe muttered, "Are you sure your surname is Koda?"

"OK...... No, it's Kanda!"

……

After saying a few words, Lin Hai hung up the phone.

Akimi Oshima asked, "Are you talking about the Kanda family in Kyoto Prefecture?"

"You know that, too?"

"Nonsense, the Kanda family is famous in Kansai. ”

"So, I'm going to go far and wide?"

"I just know, but I don't know people. Akimi Oshima shrugged her shoulders and asked, "What are you asking them for?" Could it be that you are still planning to include shakuhachi in the song?"

After Akimi Oshima finished speaking, she amused herself first. Adding shakuhachi elements to a hardcore rap is no one else.

……

Shakuhachi is a flute-like wind instrument, named after the length of the pipe, which is one foot eight inches long.

This instrument originated in China and was the main instrument in the court during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and was later brought to Japan by Sui and Tang envoys, and was loved by the Japanese magnates of the time, including Prince Shotoku, and has been passed down to this day.

Although shakuhachi originated in China, it has been inherited and developed by the Japanese since the Southern Song Dynasty, and after the 20th century, it also spread to other countries and regions in the world through Japan.

Shakuhachi is widely used in Japanese music, and it can be found in both J-POP and J-ROCK, and one of the more representative songs, "Naruto-Main-Theme", can be listened to if you are interested.

……

Although shakuhachi is widely used, Lin Hai does not need it in this song, and even if he does, he will choose a flute or flute.

Lin Hai's search for the Kanda family has nothing to do with shakuhachi, but has his eyes on the daughter of the Kanda family.

Those who know Japanese pop music should have guessed, and yes, he is eyeing "Koda Kinomi".

Koda Laiwei, whose real name is Kanda Laiweizi, in the original history, participated in Ai Hui's national rookie selection in 1999 and signed a contract with him, and debuted the following year under the stage name of "Koda Laiwei", and later grew into one of the "Ai Hui Nine Great Singers".

The more Lin Hai thought about it, the more reliable he felt.

First, Kanda Laiweizi (because he has not yet debuted, he will be called by his own name in the future) is the same age as Lin Hai, and he has not yet debuted, and there is no brokerage company to restrict.

Second, Kanda is quite good at singing among female singers (after all, he comes from an artistic family), and although he has not experienced training now, he is not far from it.

In addition, Lin Hai has set his sights on Kanda Laiweizi, and he has no intention of giving his old club eye medicine, if Kanda had learned about Matsuura's ugly face in advance, he probably wouldn't have gotten on Ai's thief ship again.
