Chapter 645: Special Significance
The company's headquarters is located in Shibuya, and for the convenience of the future, when selecting a location for the recording studio, we also focused on the Shibuya area as much as possible.
He doesn't need to do these things himself, and naturally someone will prepare a suitable plan.
In 1996, he bought the land that the company is currently using, and at the beginning, he bought a piece of land of his own because he had an independent idea in his heart.
It was also with that momentum that he successfully became independent from being and had the small career he has now.
Tokyo is the center of tens of millions of people, and countless people with their bags and dreams have used it as a stage to show their talents, and today, he has a place here. This piece of land means a lot to him.
The land, which he bought back at a large cost, has now become his original home base. Regardless of whether he can go to the next level in the future, whether he will change to a more magnificent building, this place has irreplaceable significance for him.
And now, the recording studio that is ready to be bought will also have such a special meaning.
In addition to buying a recording studio, another big move at the end of this year is to re-register a company based on the upcoming debut of Mai Kuraki, which is responsible for the planning and sales of its singers.
The surrounding has always been a big source of money, not only the company profits, but as long as the singer participates in the design, he can also draw a good share, such a good thing, naturally take it seriously and carry it forward.
Overall, this year has been a fluid one.
While he was busy greeting these things, it was also in this year that with the end of the cooperation between being and Xingchen Office, the brokerage contract between Sakai Izumi and Xingchen Office also came to an end.
To this end, she has also set up her own firm to handle her own brokerage affairs. Of course, she herself has no other work outside of music, so she is basically in a state of carte blanche.
For her, the reason why she set up a firm is to be able to avoid taxes reasonably through the firm. When it comes to being able to be on the annual list of entertainers, corresponding measures must be taken.
Having said that, although they went home and closed the door, the two of them were a family, but once they walked out of the house, the two of them still belonged to two different record companies, so it was impossible to link up with his office or something.
In the final analysis, it is no problem for him to use his own belongings for his wife, but it is a big problem to embezzle public funds for his wife. The most important thing is that the biggest beneficiary of embezzlement of public funds is the company where my wife works, which is even worse.
Besides, with the increase in the number of people joining the company and the increase in the number of new people launched, the future action will be bigger and bigger, and the resources that he can mobilize at this stage will sooner or later become a situation of more monks and less porridge if he doesn't want to find a way.
At present, the tie-up he pulls is either obtained by him through exchange, or he sent the singer's song audition tape to advertisers and TV stations, or the other party took the initiative to come to the door by virtue of the relationship in the industry and the singer's reputation.
This exposes a problem, in terms of propaganda resources, he is actually quite passive.
The reason why being will go downhill is not only that the main composer left the team, but also because after the end of the cooperative relationship with Xingchen Studio, he did not get a strong ally and lost the majority of media resources.
After the treatment of propaganda fell, BEING's own resources became more and more scarce. In the past, Sakai Izumi could tie a popular TV series like "Reiko Shiratori", but later, he could only "tie" a Grim Reaper elementary school student.
Even if he stays in being and doesn't leave, I'm afraid that unless he brings resources, he can only make a noise in their respective late-night dramas, animations, or late-night variety shows that don't make a splash.
There is a lesson from the past, and Ye Zhao can't help but be vigilant.
Even if he is a being, he still has a long-term meal ticket for the TV version of Conan in his hand, which can make his singers tie for more than 20 years, and he doesn't even have such a stable meal ticket now.
In the ecology of Japan's entertainment industry, the resources of the TV station are divided by the power of the office, and the actors of a certain office star in a certain TV series, so most of the theme songs are sung by singers related to this office.
Each faction has its own territory, just as each street in Kabukicho is governed by a different yakuza faction. Not only do they control those who eat in their own territory, but they also strictly guard against other forces from encroaching on their own territory.
If Ye Zhao just opened a one-person company, then he could swagger and do things in the industry under the name of "the chosen person", get the favor and pursuit of all parties, and enjoy the top resources sent to the door.
But now he wants to make his own brand, so that it will inevitably touch the interests of others. He is no longer a sought-after genius, but a rival to compete with them for turf.
He became independent from being and joined the music industry to chase sales because of Sony's support. Now, if he joins the resource grabbing battle barefoot, the consequences can be imagined.
Tetsuya Komuro, who once called for wind and rain, has been reminding Ye Zhao all the time.
If the industry unites to ban him and give him a modern version of the "Nobunaga Siege Network", then it will be useless to recruit all the singers who can become popular in the next two decades.
If you don't recognize this, it's still too simple to think that just throwing money at it will solve the problem.
It's okay to start from scratch, and you may call for wind and rain in the future, but until then, if you want to become big, you must be open-minded, accept, and even actively seek outside forces.
From beginning to end, Ye Zhao has no intention of being a one-person company, he also knows that the development of the times, the dependence on resource promotion will become stronger and stronger, just have good songs, but there is no strong help, and when the time of the alternation of the old and new times comes, under the impact of the information age, relying only on songs, I am afraid that there is no power to fight.
He has a huge music library, but despite this, he has never stopped recruiting songwriters and planning talents, and also discovering singer-songwriters in many aspects.
Now, he wants to launch Mai Kuraki as an epoch-making newcomer, but he wants newcomer composer Aika Ohno to write the first title song for her.
What he did was to prove to the world that this is not a one-person company whose life and death are pinned on him alone, but a company with considerable potential and talents.
A company worth working with.
