Now that it's the end of the year, as a popular topic from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, it's naturally common to be invited by the Red and White Song Club.

Not only will you receive an invitation, but even the order of your appearances will be very different.

There are also a lot of doorways hidden in the order of the Red and White Song Club, because the ratings in the first half are generally lower than in the second half, so the important big names and performances are almost all in the second half.

In addition, the singers who are making their debuts will basically be arranged in the opening position, and the finalists are often the bigwigs in the singing industry.

…… Of course, a certain queen who opened for the red group for several years in a row, just to be able to catch up with the fans on New Year's Eve, Ayumi Hamasaki is a special case.

In addition, after the turn of the millennium, singing has become more and more declining, and the number of appearances and the time occupied by performances have decreased significantly, but at this time, singing and popularity are still on a par with each other at red and white songs.

In just over two years since his debut, he has become a singer with a total sales of tens of millions, one of the top figures in the male solo, and this kind of rising speed as if riding a rocket made the Red and White Song Club move his appearance order to the prime time in the second half of the year when he was invited.

This kind of speed of leap is something that only a singer who has caused a phenomenal sensation can have.

Today, Ye Zhao himself also has the right to decide whether to participate or not. If he wanted to, he could completely refuse the red and white, and he didn't have to worry about offending them because of it.

In the entertainment industry, the sign of rising status is not actually receiving any important invitations, but having the right to refuse important invitations.

After all, "no" has always been the hardest thing to say.

Of course, there was nothing to do on the night of the 31st anyway, and if you go to participate, you can also promote the song to help four million, so after communicating with the red and white production team through the office, Ye Zhao also agreed to this invitation.

Even if it is the stage that many singers dream of, NHK still has to pay a performance fee, but the price is not too high, and it is only a matter of millions of yen at the top.

Moreover, the high appearance fee is almost all prepared for singing giants and industry old-timers, if you bring hundreds of backup dancers to rub the box lunch, who will pay for whom it is not certain......

Speaking of which, last year, in late October, Ye Zhao agreed when he first received the invitation from Red and White, but this year, he delayed until the end of November before completing the contact with Red and White.

The reason why this is the case is not that he is holding a shelf, in fact, he is waiting for the results of the negotiation between Sony's side and Red and White.

When preparing for a performance, it is necessary to prepare more than two sets of plans in order to cope with various situations that may arise at the beginning of the project.

It stands to reason that since it is a limited band and operates in the form of a tour, it should be officially disbanded after the final performance of the tour.

However, when the project was launched, Sony's executive producers originally envisioned that the band would be able to perform at the Red and White Song Festival for the final performance.

When ventilating and negotiating with the members of the band, Kuramochi Yoichi was very keen on the matter of being red and white, and Ye Zhao was indispensable, and the only one who expressed a little displeasure was Okuda Minsheng.

However, it's not because he hates red and white, but because he doesn't like the "duel" format very much, and he thinks that music shouldn't be used for duels.

"But, since both of you agree, I won't object to it either. Okuda Minsheng said.

His words reminded Sony's executive producers. They also thought that it would be more satisfying to have a special appearance than to join the battle.

So, Sony simply changed its mind and decided to negotiate with Red and White with the goal of winning a special appearance.

Of course, in order to prevent accidents, the possibility of losing the tour is already taken into account, and if it is not negotiated, then the second option is used, and the disbandment is announced on the spot after the final performance of the tour is completed.

The list of singers who appeared in red and white also means that there are more or less quota allocations, and each company has several quotas, although it is not something written in plain text, but such rules do exist. Every time a new group of people appears, a group of old people will be squeezed out, and the rules will always be cruel.

It's just that it's not easy to make a debut, and the limited band composed of three important figures in the music industry is definitely enough. The reason for the long-term negotiation is that what they are now pursuing is not an ordinary battle, but a higher-level "special appearance".

However, the reason given by Sony is also reasonable and fair, "The band wants to complete a memorable final performance on the highest stage of red and white, and leave a good memory with the audience, rather than a battle with a group of singers here." ”

In terms of commercial results alone, the sales of this limited band are not outstanding, and the only mini-album that has sold about half a million copies so far.

However, what is great about them is that this album has not been out of the charts once since it was released, and through long-term sales, this album with a not so amazing initial performance has been polished to the current 500,000 copies.

Of course, there is an element of touring, but more importantly, it is really very durable.

Not only that, but the six-month tour of the limited band and the clash of styles between different styles of musicians have also brought a lot of buzz, and they are warmly welcomed by the locals whenever they go to a new place.

Among the members of the band are Okuda Minsheng and Ye Zhao, two super musicians who were named "Ruo Da General" by the magazine, and now, they are about to disband, which is bound to bring a wave of new topics.

Coupled with the help of Sony, NHK also hopes to add a topic to the Red and White Song Club, don't look at it as a state-run station, because NHK is the only TV station that needs to rely on audience ratings to maintain, so the emphasis on ratings will only be more, not less.

In addition, there is another reason, if Okay plays as a singer in the white group, then Ye Zhao will appear twice in two different capacities at the same time, both as a single and as a band, which is obviously not fair.

In other words, if he participates in the joint battle as Okay, with his current super popularity, the audience will still focus more on him.

However, it is absolutely impossible to abandon him, the most popular figure of the year, and only let him appear as a band.

After all parties are integrated, NHK will be relieved. 2k reading web
