Chapter 557: Signing
It's just that Ye Zhao is not a judge of this selection meeting, as long as the approved license is issued to them.
Ordinary musicians can unconditionally promote a new talent.
But Ye Zhao is no longer an ordinary musician, but is gradually moving closer to the identity of a businessman, for him, he must first ensure that he can make a profit in this sale.
If he couldn't get something in return, he wouldn't have the leisure to help him.
Okinawa and Tokyo are 108,000 miles apart, and after a phone call and a brief exchange, Ye Zhao finally showed his interest in Kiroro as Aragaki Sotaro wished.
However, Sotaro Aragaki is not Kiroro's agent, and specific matters cannot be discussed with him. Therefore, after explaining the purpose of this phone call, Ye Zhao hoped to contact the two people in Kiroro through him.
"If they're interested, they can come to Tokyo. Ye Zhao said, "The travel expenses will be paid by me." ”
It wasn't difficult to get in touch with Kiroro, but Sotaro Aragaki inquired about the company that had helped them release the underground single, and they were able to get in touch smoothly.
After telling the story of what happened, Chiharu Tamaki and Ayano Kaneshiro finally agreed to meet in Tokyo after consideration.
In late June, after a little preparation, the two arrived in Tokyo. Ye Zhao sent someone to pick them up in advance, and the first meeting was at Shibuya's office.
Chiharu Tamaki was determined to rely on music to eat, believing that he would have the opportunity to enter Beijing in the near future, so after graduating from junior college, he did not look for a formal job, but worked in a food store.
Kaneshiro Ayano is now relying on music to eat—teaching children to play the piano locally, but she hasn't joined any piano studios, and like Tamaki Chiharu, she plans to quit at any time.
Two like-minded people come together every week for a small performance on the street or in the park.
Generally speaking, it is the living conditions of ordinary underground musicians.
"Hello both. ”
The meeting place was the small conference room of the office, and after meeting, Ye Zhao greeted the two with a gentle attitude.
Chiharu Tamaki and Ayano Kaneshiro responded quite reservedly.
Ayano Kaneshiro, a person who is a natural nerd, accidentally bumped into a chair when he got up from his seat and made a noise.
So, on the occasion of greetings, Ye Zhao first received a sentence of "I'm really sorry" from her.
Seeing Kaneshiro Ayano's blushing face to the base of his neck, Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel a little funny, and after helping to play a round, the three of them sat down separately.
"I received singles from the producers of Aragaki for two. Although most of the original story of the matter, Sotaro Aragaki had already told them, Ye Zhao still told them again.
"Yes...... Thank you for your attention. Jadejo Chiharu replied.
Sotaro Aragaki saw the relationship between the record company behind Ye Zhao, but in the eyes of the two of them, he was the top producer now, and in the face of him, in addition to being honestly afraid, the two still had a lot of respect for him.
It's easy to do that way.
For the two little girls in front of them, who are just 20 years old, not deeply involved in the world, and a little unattractive, their pursuit of music is "to be heard by more people".
And this person who is so famous that even the elderly and children in Okinawa know that he is very powerful, is the person they have come into contact with so far, and who is most likely to help them realize their dreams.
With this in mind from the beginning, it will be easier to talk about many things.
"May I ask, did the two of you bring a new song this time?" Ye Zhao asked.
"Yes. Chiharu Tamaki handed over a few tapes. In the group, she does most of the creation.
After listening to the song they brought this time, Ye Zhao nodded and groaned.
During this time, Chiharu Tamaki and Ayano Kaneshiro looked at him a little nervously. In addition to being nervous, Tamaki Chiharu's eyes also had a little expectation in his eyes. What she is looking forward to is Ye Zhao's evaluation of her work.
Even if I have confidence in myself, I have already received some praise in Okinawa, but it is not as good as the affirmation from big-name producers.
"I have a proposal for both of you to consider. Ye Zhao said slowly.
"Yes, please. ”
"Didn't you release an underground single before, and I want to help you connect with the publisher and release it nationwide. ”
As soon as these words came out, Chiharu Tamaki and Ayano Kaneshiro were all full of surprise.
Ignoring the reactions of the two, Ye Zhao continued, "However, as a condition, the two of you will sign a contract with my firm, and during this period, I will also arrange professional training courses for you." As for whether I can make my mainstream debut in the future, I have to look at two indicators. ”
"The first is the sales and response of this underground single, and the second is that you have to make at least twelve tunes that will get my nod. Is that okay?"
If it weren't for the presence of the main backbone Tamaki Chiharu, Kaneshiro Ayano would be afraid that she would nod her head like pecking rice. But even so, she couldn't hide her excitement and grabbed the corner of Yucheng Qianchun's clothes with all her might.
Or Yucheng Qianchun should be more calm, just what Ye Zhao said just now, and asked a few specific details, and Ye Zhao also patiently answered her.
Finally, it's about the debut metrics.
"I understand the twelve songs, but to what extent is the sales and response of the underground singles?"
If this question is asked, it means that she has already moved her mind about signing the contract.
"Rest assured, it's flexible. Ye Zhao said to her, "You don't have to pursue any good sales, as long as the word-of-mouth can exceed the passing line, this level is qualified." Let the singer sell well as soon as he debuts, such a requirement is unreasonable. ”
Hearing him say this, Yucheng Chiharu finally relieved.
There are things like the debut of singers, both those who are lucky enough to be accepted as disciples by famous producers just by accompanying their friends to the audition, and those who are so unlucky that they can finally make their mainstream debut after many years.
While everyone wants to be lucky, no one thinks they're necessarily lucky. So, once the opportunity presents itself, as long as it's not too demanding, it's worth a try.
What's more, Ye Zhaokai's conditions are not harsh.
There is not much room for newcomers to bargain, and being able to be accepted by a famous producer is beyond the imagination of the two.
In Kaneshiro Ayano's anticipation, Tamaki Chiharu finally nodded in agreement.
Before Ye Zhao spoke, he first heard Ayano Kaneshiro's lowered voice, "Great!". It seemed that he thought that such a small celebration would not be heard by him.
She smiled apologetically at Chiharu's eyes in Kamiyujo. I want to talk about "Dongying Entertainer" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
