PUFFY WAS SO BUSY THAT SHE DIDN'T EVEN ATTEND THE MEETING, BUT WAS REPRESENTED BY THE TWO PEOPLE'S RESPECTIVE AGENTS.

As long as the combination is popular, the combination broker plus the individual foreign broker has become the standard configuration.

After the meeting, Ye Zhao did not leave in a hurry, but accepted the invitation and went to dinner with the staff of Sony.

In the second half of dinner, everyone present began to form teams in twos and threes, and Inoue, the executive producer of FBY, also took the opportunity to ask him: "Ye Jun, do you want to have another drink later?"

"Of course, no problem. They were all acquaintances, Ye Zhao replied very happily.

So, after the show, the two of them took a taxi and went to a members-only bar in Ginza.

As a popular bar in the club guide, it's just past nine o'clock and it's already busy. Once seated, the young barmaid sat down next to them.

After a few drinks, sitting on the opposite well, he made a gesture to talk about private matters, and the escort girl, who had just talked happily, immediately reserved a private space for them to talk.

After saying a few words about today's meeting, Inoue changed the topic and asked him, "How did Ye Jun think about the contract?"

"Hmm......" Ye Zhao replied vaguely, thinking that it was really for this.

"I'm still a little undecided. Ye Zhao replied.

Inoue joked with him, "Could it be that you can't make up your mind because you have received too many exaggerated contracts?"

"How can you worry about that kind of thing," Ye Zhao joked back, "In that case, wouldn't it be good to just choose the contract that once you agree, it will be 100% record-breaking and in the news." ”

"Also, with such a good thing, there is no need to worry. Inoue laughed.

That being said, the companies that are willing to pay sky-high transfer fees are also counting on waiting for him to sign the past, and then let him work more to "double the return", if it is not for the sake of profit, who is willing to spend a lot of money to dig up a useless person to provide for him?

The two of them knocked on the side drum for a while, testing each other. After the timing was almost there, Ye Zhao loosened his mouth a little and showed Inoue what he wanted to do as an independent label.

However, they are all adults, and just showing a corner is enough.

He wasn't afraid that Inoue or Sony behind him would know what he really thought, anyway, this kind of thing can't be hidden, and there is no need to hide it now.

What's more, if you really want to be an independent label, not to mention the production and printing of publishing for the time being, for him who has no distribution channels, he must find an agency to help with distribution.

Looking for anyone, in line with the principle of from near to far, it is also a way to first consider cooperating with Sony, an old acquaintance.

Taking a step back, even if he is rejected by Sony, then he will not offend that side if he goes to other companies in the future.

For example, it doesn't take too much, as long as two big record companies are banned at the same time, then it is conservatively estimated that at least two-thirds of the record stores in the country will not import his company's records.

In that case, no matter what means are used, no matter how good the record is, no matter how high the quality of the music is, if the record store does not put it on the shelves, then you will still not be able to do anything, and you will not even have a chance to turn over.

There is no way, it is really difficult for people from the grassroots to set up their own doors and produce independently. If you want to let your little broken boat row a little longer in the vast sea of the record world, it is necessary to find a backer.

And Sony is the backer he took a fancy to from the beginning.

Tetsuya Komuro made his official mainstream debut through TMN in 1984 and promoted his beloved electronic music in the Japanese music scene, and then in 1993, he gradually retreated into the background and signed with Ai Hui through TRF, which detonated the craze of the Komuro family, which took almost ten years.

From 1993, when TRF opened the door to Kono's electronic music, to the establishment of Rojam in Hong Kong, another five years have passed, and not only that, but these five years have been five years of flowering and all-round growth.

But even so, among Rojam's partners, you can also find local bigwigs and foreign investors in Hong Kong.

With Ye Zhao's accumulation of three years, even in terms of sales, he and the singer he is the producer are the only people who can threaten the boom of the Komuro family now, but in other places, one hundred and two percent are not as good as a figure like Tetsuya Komuro who has been up and down for more than ten years.

But fortunately, he still knows how much energy he can do, and he just wants to finish the rice in the bowl first, slowly make himself stronger, and then think about other things.

If he just wants to be affiliated with a big record company as a distributor and set up his own independent label, to the extent he is today, it is still a thing that can be achieved with a little effort.

As for the ambition of "aspiring to make his company the largest entertainment company in Asia", it belongs to Tetsuya Komuro, who has swelled to the extreme, and wants to do what he wants to do without being constrained at all.

Compared with those producers who have several singers at the same time, Ye Zhao's output is not rich. Not counting the singers who intervened in the production in the later stage, until now, the only ones who have been discovered and produced by him personally from beginning to end are Makoto Kawamoto and PUFFY.

In this way, his works are actually very few.

However, considering that he really intervened in the producer's work in 1995, two sets of newcomers were launched in less than two years, and before the launch of these two groups of newcomers, the people who listened to his ideas were not so optimistic, and they ended up being popular.

Even the singer he picked up halfway through the road was rejuvenated in his hands.

In this sense, he can also be called a keen producer.

THIS ACUMEN EARNED HIM A VOICE IN PUFFY, AND IT WAS ALSO THE REASON WHY MANY RECORD COMPANIES, INCLUDING SONY, TRIED TO RECRUIT HIM AND WORK WITH HIM.

Listening to Ye Zhao's plan, Inoue was thoughtful, but in the end he didn't say anything. Of course, this is normal, and such a serious matter is not something that the two of them can hide here to discuss.

…… At most, it was just an exchange of opinions between the probe and the outspoken.

After chatting about business, the two of them changed to another store, this time not a high-end club, but an ordinary, but small bar that was difficult for customers to find.

After a few drinks here, the two said goodbye and left.

February has just begun, and there is plenty of time, but at the same time it is a bit urgent.

Sitting in the taxi, Ye Zhao thought to himself, it's almost time to take action and straighten out these things.

There are still a lot to say about Rojam in Komuro, and if he hadn't died there, he wouldn't have become a fraudster. Komuro's vision and talent are top-notch, but although he is a businessman among musicians, he is still an artist among businessmen. The protagonist's background is too low, and if you make a bold move, the end is estimated to be worse than that of Komuro.
