"One-two-three-four, two-two-three-four, three-two-three-four, turn, pay attention to your head, and next time you should pay attention to leaning back a little more...... Okay, turn around, do it again, pay attention......"

The coach taught meticulously, and Fujiwara Mie also practiced extremely seriously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Last September, her first solo album "Tokyo Girl" was officially released, and the sales were quite good, and the Japanese version of the album sold more than a million copies in Japan, and once reached the best-seller chart.

But this achievement in the Japanese record market, can only be regarded as ordinary, but the east mountain is not bright, the west mountain is bright, relying on the idol wind blown by "Tokyo Love Story", coupled with the news that was once hyped up with Li Qian, she has a high reputation among young people in China, plus this album is a collection of Chinese and Japanese songwriters efforts, so its Chinese version was well received as soon as it was listed, and the total shipments so far have exceeded three million copies.

In terms of the idols in the Chinese music scene, this achievement can be regarded as one of the more outstanding.

Even, if it weren't for the release of Rose Power's new album "Girls' Dormitory" in October, which suppressed the tail goods of this album to a certain extent, the sales of her album might be a little higher!

This spring, under the matchmaking of Sony Records, she starred in the heroine of a domestic TV series, saying that it is impossible to continue to grow in popularity, but to a certain extent, she has maintained her fan base, and in the past year, she is still very favored by advertisers, and has received a lot of commercial activities and commercial performances.

In addition, foreign monks can chant scriptures, she has the label of "Japanese girl", and the appearance fee is higher than that of singers of the same level, and she is very diligent, as long as she can go out to take on commercial performances, she is not willing to let herself be idle, so far, although she is a little tired, but she has not made less money, and she has become more and more fluent in Chinese, if she doesn't listen deliberately, she will even make strangers unable to hear that she is a Japanese girl.

And now, her second solo album is being recorded, and the choreography related to it has been completed, so she has to be busy recording, practicing dance at the same time, and next, going to shoot the music video!

After a full forty minutes of practice, when her choreographer called for a break, even Fujiwara Mie herself felt that she had danced more fluently, and the mistakes that she used to make were now much better, and sure enough, even the teacher praised her: "Mie, your dancing talent is really good!"

As long as the words are not too difficult, normal life and work communication, Fujiwara Mie can already use Chinese normally, but many of the living habits from Japan are still roughly retained. At this time, when she heard the teacher's praise, she smiled sweetly, bowed to the teacher, and after getting up, she took the towel handed by the assistant to wipe her sweat, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the teacher's teaching!"

Working with such a girl with a sweet smile and a humble attitude, even if her choreographer is also a girl, she still feels happy, and at this time Wen Yan nodded, "Okay, that's all for today's practice, Meihui, see you tomorrow!"

"I'll see you tomorrow, teacher!" Mie bowed again.

When the choreographer packed up her things and left the rehearsal room, Mie Fujiwara immediately turned her head and whispered to her assistant, "Did you buy it?"

Assistant He nodded, "I'll get it!"

As he spoke, he turned around and went out, and after a while, he brought a CD that hadn't even been unpacked, and at the same time brought the portable CD player that Fujiwara Mie usually uses to listen to songs.

Fujiwara Mie thanked him and took it, sat down on the sofa, and unpacked the package with a happy face, but subconsciously stared at the cover for a while, and laughed quietly: "It is said that this cover was taken by Li Qianjun himself! He is a professional photographer, and he loves Miss Zhou Yan so much, he took her so beautiful!"

Assistant He laughed when he heard this, "Zhou Yan is already very beautiful. ”

Fujiwara Mie laughed and said, "Yes! It's just that Li Qianjun can make it more beautiful!"

Assistant He smiled and didn't answer.

Opening the CD case, Fujiwara Mie first took out the lyrics book, opened it and looked at it - her progress in learning Chinese characters is far less than that of spoken Chinese, but she still knows a lot of Chinese characters - sure enough, the lyrics on each page are noted next to them, and the lyrics, composers, and producers are all Li Qian.

"Miss Zhou's voice, Li Qianjun's lyrics and music, ah, I've really been looking forward to it for a long time!"

As she spoke, she took out her CD, put it in the CD player, and put on her headphones.

Just then, there was a knock on the door and the door was pushed in.

Fujiwara Mie looked up and saw that it was the secretary of Chairman Watanabe Kazuichi, and was about to stand up, but the secretary smiled and said, "Has Miss Fujiwara already started listening? Then I won't bother." After saying that, he closed the door and went out.

Assistant He chased out, ran back after a while, and said to Fujiwara Mie: "The company also got this album for the first time, and many people went to the listening room to listen to it together, Miss Mie, do you want to go over and listen to it with everyone, the sound over there is very good!"

Fujiwara Mie shook her head and said with a smile: "Miss Zhou's song must be listened to by herself with headphones on, it would be better if there was another cup of coffee!

Assistant He laughed when he heard this, and asked, "I'm going to get you a cup of coffee?"

Fujiwara Mie's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she had a cute little expression, "Ah...... Is it really okay? The teacher said I can't drink coffee, it's too calorie-high!"

Assistant He smiled and raised a finger, "It's just a small cup!"

Fujiwara Mie couldn't resist the temptation a little, her heart moved, she blinked her eyes, and laughed, "If the teacher asked me why I was fat, I would say that I fainted, and Assistant He poured me a cup of coffee to wake me up!"

Assistant He shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and asked, "Cream, cappuccino?"

Fujiwara Mie licked her lips, looking greedy and cute, "The cream is too extravagant, cappuccino!

Assistant He smiled, "Wait a minute!" and then closed the door and went out.

Fujiwara Mie thought about the upcoming cappuccino, looked at the CD player in her hand again, and suddenly felt that everything was too beautiful.

It's just that......

The relationship between himself and Li Qianjun is already completely stiff!

Since she suddenly became popular in China with the hit of "Tokyo Love Story", she has stayed in China for most of the last year, and it has been proven that her acting career in China is far more successful than in Japan - in Japan, she is just one of thousands of beautiful girls, but when she comes to China, she is full of exotic scenery!

The Chinese version of the album sells several times more than the Japanese version, the salary of a single episode of the TV series is as high as 60,000 Chinese dollars, a 30-episode TV series is filmed, after deducting the commission of the company and the agent, you can also get about 700,000 Chinese dollars, and when you go out to participate in a commercial performance, you can get 200,000 Chinese yuan, and shoot an advertisement, there are also 300,000 to 800,000 Chinese dollars, this year, her savings have been as high as nearly 5 million Chinese dollars, equivalent to about 2.5 million US dollars, and as high as 30 million yen!

This money, just by virtue of her being an artist in Japan, may not be earned for three years!

To put it simply, because the idol trend in China is in the ascendant, she is considered to be a relatively early batch of idols, and she has the bonus of foreigners, so it is so easy for her to make money in China!

It can be said that now, even she wants to continue to stay in China for development after that, and does not want to go back to Japan, and even, after learning about her income and the popularity of China, many entertainment companies in Japan now want to send acting talents to China to make money, and many girls she met during her time in Japan have also asked her if she can help recommend her to China for development!

However, she can feel that she has come to this point, and there is no problem in making money for a few more years steadily, while her personal popularity is still there, she can make a lot of money by releasing a few albums, taking a few TV series or even movies, or having the opportunity to hold a few concerts, which can make a lot of money, but if you want to go up again, it is basically as difficult as the sky!

China's record market is experiencing a cold winter, but the great development in recent years, so that the capacity of the market has expanded to a large enough, a few years ago, who could sell three or four million album sales, that is, instant popularity, from Liao Liao's top gap is not small, but the first line can already step on the line to go half a foot, but now, if you want to be recognized as having one foot into the first line, it will take five million copies!

She sold to the level of three million copies, and she only dared to say that she had initially gained a firm foothold, which is no problem in the second line, but there is still a big gap from the first line, that is, with the positioning of the idol faction, she is more loved by some young fans, so the appearance fee and endorsement fee are slightly higher than that of a normal singer in this coffee position, which is just easier to make money!

But even so, compared with the appearance fee of the first day of Asia, which is often one million and can only be invited until 1.5 million, Liao Liao, who is still priceless when the appearance fee is shouted to 2 million, and He Runqing, whose appearance fee has stabilized at about 1.2 million, is still out of reach!

It is said that the endorsement fee for the shampoo advertisement that Liao Liao took over was as high as 8 million a year! The endorsement fee for women's clothing brands and food was as high as 10 million! And He Runqing's endorsement fee for women's clothing brand endorsement was also 6 million a year!

Zhou Yan doesn't have any TV commercials, but that's because she is unwilling to accept endorsements, there is no market, it is said that her image positioning is more trendy and high-end, so she receives fashion advertisements: watches, cosmetics, are all first-line big brands! According to the gossip among agents, don't look at her has not released an album for two years, and she has hardly appeared in public, but her annual endorsement income is still more than 20 million!

So...... That is to say, although she is already very good compared to those girls of the same age in Japan, whether it is China or Japan, she is still far from the highest actresses!

And if she wants to go further, she has already hit her ceiling again.

If it is an ordinary girl, if she can reach this step, it is estimated that she will be very satisfied, and after earning money for a few years, she can find a boy to marry, but Fujiwara Mie is always a little unwilling!

Because she knows that if she wants to climb one step further, she is not completely without a way!

There are various sayings in the industry, and there are one example after another in her peers, all telling her that as long as Li Qian likes her and is willing to support her, she can continue to go up!

It's a pity that she knows clearly in her heart that Sony doesn't play back people, and she already has a lot of grudges with Li Qian, and even with the entire Minghu culture department.

Not long ago, she received an invitation to a commercial performance, and she found that the Minghu cultural singer named Zhuang Meiyue was also among the guests of the performance, and in the backstage, she also tried to talk to her, but after the other party found out that it was her, she didn't save face at all, and turned her head and walked away, making her uncomfortable for several days after she came back!

Looking back now, with the help of Li Qian to hype up the scandal, and even smeared Li Qian's method of increasing his popularity, he took advantage of it and suffered a loss, but in the final analysis, he still took advantage of it, because with the popularity of a TV series imported from Japan, it is impossible for him, a newcomer in the music industry, to sell the album to three million copies.

At that time, although she couldn't talk about how proud she was, she was still happy in her heart. It's just that as she came to the current step, looking forward and looking up, she found that she had no way to continue to climb up, and at this time, she looked back at the plan that the company had made for herself to rise in this step, and she couldn't help but feel a faint feeling of regret in her heart.

If you make friends sincerely, you may not be able to borrow Li Qian's scandal, and the record will not sell so much for the time being, but in the long run, you can leave yourself more and more room for development in the future!

And now, I seem to have walked into a dead end!

…………

Assistant He pushed the door in, holding a cappuccino in his hand, lightly, lest he disturb Fujiwara Mie listening to the song, but when she closed the door and turned around, she happened to meet Fujiwara Mie's eyes.

She was a little surprised, "Why haven't you listened to it yet? Don't you like to listen to Zhou Yan's voice the most? I've been looking forward to it for a long time! Come on...... Cappuccino!"

Fujiwara Mie shrugged and took it, with a small happiness on her face, "Thank you!"

But when she took the coffee, she didn't rush to drink it, but thought for a moment, turned her head and asked her assistant, "You say, when the new album comes out, can it still sell three million copies?"

Assistant He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Of course! You have been very popular recently! This album has also cost a lot of resources, like the song that Mr. Watanabe specially wrote for you Zheng Guofeng, it is said that it has paid a lot of price! Zheng Guofeng is now popular, his songs, ordinary people can't get them, in the music world, it is just one level lower than Li Qian's works, and there is also a chorus with Huang Yuqing, which can borrow popularity and increase album sales! Don't worry, three million copies, no problem! ”

Fujiwara Mie laughed sweetly when she heard this, and said, "Yes, I don't know how to thank them!" After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but think in her heart: "Three million sheets...... Let's hope this one continues to sell for this amount......! I don't think I have enough faith!"

After a pause, she couldn't help but ask: "How much do you think Miss Zhou's album will sell?"

Assistant He frowned and thought about it when he heard this, and shook his head, "I really don't dare to guess this! Li Qian and Zhou Yan have been together for several years, and it was only because she had signed with our company before, so Li Qian only wrote a song "Meet Ninety-Eight" for her, and it became like that, and now this album is the first collaboration between Li Qian and Zhou Yan, and many people have been looking forward to this album as early as two years ago!"

"Li Qian's songs, Zhou Yan's voice, everyone thinks they are a perfect match! Therefore, the sales estimate is not low, I guess, five or six million copies should only be regarded as the lowest estimate, right? Even, I listened to the discussion of the people in the distribution department, saying that as long as this album can be combined with Zhou Yan's voice characteristics, and then Li Qian's songwriting skills can be brought into full play, even if six or seven percent of it is released, eight million copies will not be a problem, and if it sells well, it can easily break 10 million copies!"

After a pause, he said: "When the company held a meeting, didn't Mr. Watanabe also say that all the company's works should avoid this album! Otherwise, Zhao Xinfu would not have been forced to release an album in April, and that would be a tough confrontation with He Runqing! The result is ...... I haven't won yet, it's a tie at best!"

Fujiwara Mie couldn't help but squint as she listened.

Five million is the lowest estimate, eight million is not a problem, and tens of millions are easy...... I'm so envious!

"Miss Zhou's voice is so unique, so good-sounding, and it is really happy to meet a man who loves him and the man she loves is so talented, she can tailor an album for her!" she sighed.

Assistant He smiled and said, "Of course! Everyone used to say that the four queens, Zhou Yan was actually ranked last, until "Meet Ninety-Eight" came out, and then the sales of "Witch's Tears" exploded, she was recognized by everyone as one of the four queens. But let me say, Liao Liao has surpassed the level of domestic divas, both sides are the flesh of the heart, of course Li Qian can't favor one over the other, this album, it is estimated that Zhou Yan is going to be a big hit! The next album, maybe Li Qian will also push her to the world!"

Fujiwara Mie's eyes suddenly widened when she heard this, "Ah...... Is it okay? Zhou Yan will also be pushed to the world? Like Liao Liao, she will become a global diva?"

Assistant He shrugged, "What's wrong with that, their men are all Li Qian!"

Fujiwara Mie was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and her expression suddenly became a little depressed.

Lowering her head, she nodded slowly.

Only then did she take a sip of her coffee with her head down, and then a sweet smile.

When she turned her head to look at Assistant He, her expression had recovered and she smiled: "I'm going to listen to the song......! Can't wait!"

With that said, she finally pressed the play button.
