Before getting off the bus, Sakai Izumi put on a hat and made a little disguise.

It was a black wide-brimmed hat, Ye Zhao rarely saw her wearing such a hat, and at this time, he also stared at her with a little freshness, and praised casually, "It's quite suitable." ”

Sakai Izumizu smiled and accepted his compliment.

However, seeing the wide-brimmed hat reminded Ye Zhao of a female singer who was a wide-brimmed hat, and he was asking the talent scout and Watanabe Lu to find Yuri Nakamura in Osaka.

In his impression, when Yuri Nakamura appeared on camera, he often dressed up as wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and he also took many album covers with this image.

In the vast sea of people, it is definitely not easy to find a person with only a few clues.

Although it has only been about ten days since he made up his mind to find Yuri Nakamura and Aiguo Ohno, and sent a scout to find out the news, it has only been about ten days, but just these ten days have already given him his first taste of this kind of hard work in finding people.

Not only that, in addition to secretly hollowing out BEING and stockpiling talents for his production company, the contract he signed with Sony also included the condition of 12 million sales in three years.

In the three years that are not short but not long, he has to make at least two sets of popular singers for Sony to ensure that the contract is firmly delivered.

It's just that it's not easy to dig up a fresh and good seedling.

As early as before, when he met Aiko and The Brilliant Green, who were booked by the record company in advance in a club in Kyoto, Ye Zhao realized that the kind of singer who can see the potential at a glance and become popular when he is clear does not have to go through a long underground period.

As long as they want to, send out an audition tape, or go to the audition at the same time, they will be preemptively booked by the record company.

Of course, there are still fish that slip through the net, but if you look at the background of the defeat, you can find some reasons for the defeat.

For example, Mai Kuraki, who is also within the scope of his search, was only taken in after sending the audition tape to BEING when she ran into walls everywhere.

In addition to sending audition tapes to the record company, she even participated in the audition of the Good Morning Girls group.

Just imagine, if she was really selected by Chunjun and selected for the Good Morning Girl Group, she became a girl idol, bouncing and singing "O×4", and Mai Kuraki, who was ridiculed and tricky in variety shows...... It's a bit hard to imagine.

So he's either going to get ahead of the game, or he's going to have to look for singers who aren't the "first look" genre. For example, the unique flavor of Kawamoto Makoto that I picked up in the club.

But even so, this kind of thing doesn't happen every time.

If you don't dig up new people yourself, you have to start from Sony's current reserve army. There are newcomers who have not yet debuted during the practice period, and then there are unknown little singers.

It's just that, among the newcomers, of course, the ones with potential have already been booked, and the route has been planned, in that case, the possibility of being released to him is very small, and the remaining ones that Sony picked out first, it is estimated that it will be difficult to make a difference.

As for the nameless little singers who have debuted but have no achievements...... It is estimated that nine out of ten will not be able to support the wall.

LIKEWISE, THERE WEREN'T THAT MANY PUFFY IN THE STUDIO WAITING FOR HIM TO PICK IT UP.

At the beginning, in order to be independent, the conditions agreed to in the last battle were realized when they really did it.

Because of that wide-brimmed hat, so many thoughts came to him during the time he was waiting for the Sakai spring water.

Not only did he think about the possibilities of how to cash in on his collaboration with Sony, but he even began to wonder if the best-selling singles that came out in the next few years included so-called blockbuster up-and-comers.

And just like trying to take the disrupted puzzle piece by piece to the empty place to try, sooner or later he will catch the trick of successfully putting it together, in the process of thinking, a puzzle piece that is now inconspicuous and ignored by him slowly emerges.

"By the way, there's that person......" A person's name popped up in his head.

At this time, the Sakai spring water also went and returned.

She went for about ten minutes, and as she said herself, she didn't make him wait too long. However, in these short ten minutes, for Ye Zhao, because of her wide-brimmed hat, it was given a different meaning.

From this point of view, I really want to thank her.

"What are you thinking? ”

Ye Zhao smiled, and asked instead of answering, "What did my sister buy?" said as he glanced at the bag in her hand.

"Well, we'll find out when we get back. Sakai Izumi didn't care, and he digressed the topic.

"Okay. Ye Zhao agreed.

He deliberately asked her, "In that case, has my sister decided to take me in tonight?"

Sakai Izumi didn't answer. Of course, this reaction is also expected.

Ye Zhao didn't want to deliberately hide something from Sakai Spring Water to divert the topic, but he just felt that he couldn't talk about it.

As for those things that are easy to explain, such as the fact that he and BEING will not renew their contract and want to set up a personal label independently, they have never been hidden from her.

On the contrary, after talking to Sony, and reaching a consensus with Nagato Daiyuki, and roughly deciding on it, he had already told Sakai Izumi about his decision.

In any case, such a big thing, he couldn't let her hear it from other people's mouths.

Despite this, it is only in the love stage, and it is not that they have already been married, and they have been together since then, Ye Zhao's decision, she has no choice, and of course she will never intervene.

Similarly, as long as Ye Zhao didn't plan to be independent and wanted to persuade her to go with him, then his decision had nothing to do with her.

For the two of them, the most obvious impact is probably that they will no longer be able to clock in and out of the studio together like they are now.

Speaking of taking her away, though...... Not to mention the feasibility of this matter, unlike Ye Zhao's situation, it was Nagato Daiyuki who selected her from a group of unknown young models when she was still Sachiko Kamaike, and created the successful brand ZARD.

If she hadn't had this opportunity and hadn't met Nagato, she might have retired from the circle and got married after a few years of obscurity, or she would continue to rise and fall in the entertainment industry and be a third-rate star, but there is no doubt that there will be no more "Sakai Spring Water" in the world.

Therefore, for Ye Zhao, Nagato Daiyuki is just the boss, but for her, Nagato Daiyuki is still a benefactor.

It is necessary to persuade Sakai Izumi, who has a good character and pays attention to human feelings and righteousness, to turn away from BEING and jump ship...... At least for now, he doesn't have the ability.

What's more, from her debut to the peak of her career, Sakai Izumi, who has always been with BEING, this record company not only holds the copyright of all her songs, but also the copyright of the names "ZARD" and "Sakai Spring".

In the event of a dispute, BEING can even take back the right to use the names ZARD and Sakai Izumi, and even let her lose the copyright of the lyrics written under the pseudonym "Sakai Izumi".

In that case, ZARD would be gone.

From beginning to end, Ye Zhao never thought about a Sakai spring water that didn't sing.

She is because she loves music and wants to be a singer, so she became the person she is today. If she gives up and loses the music she loves, then it is no different from ruining her.

Just like he himself would not give up the idea of leaving BEING just because he wanted to take over ZARD in "Chapter 2", as long as Sakai Izumizu can continue to sing happily, it doesn't matter where it is.

A healthy relationship is about not giving up on yourself for someone, no matter what side you are.

Of course, now, his small board house with empty walls and unknown future can't fit the big brand ZARD.

As for the reason, the reason why ZARD in "Chapter 1" was able to achieve such results is that BEING has spared no effort to create the best music library provided by first-class composers, and these are not all.

ON TOP OF THAT, IT'S ALSO BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE IN ZARD HAS ONE OR EVEN SEVERAL REALLY GREAT TIE-UPS.

As for the source of these TIE-UPs, a considerable number of them come from Xingchen Office.

BEING and Xingchen had a close cooperation in the 90s, and when they first participated in the B.B.QUEENS Waine audition, Sakai Izumi was recommended by Xingchen.

After that, the reason why BEING went into decline was also related to the end of the cooperation with Xingchen Office.

Without the support of a large firm, he is not good at dealing with the media, his own strategy cannot keep up with the times, and his internal talents are lacking.

However, this incident also gave Ye Zhao a wake-up call.

He is independent, even if he has the support of Sony for the time being, but Sony's resources will be fed to the company's singers outsourced to him, but not to the singers produced by his own label.

Therefore, it is not enough to have good songs, finding a way to pull TIE-UP and find a stable source of TIE-UP is also something he must consider on the road to independence.

Even if it is BEING twenty years later, he still has a contract with Conan in his hand.

The car drove steadily on the way back, Ye Zhao drove silently, and a little such thought flashed through his mind from time to time, and Sakai Spring didn't speak, just looked ahead.

The silence lasted for a while. Ye Zhao suddenly slowed down the car, and while observing the reflector, he drove at a low speed for a while, and then slowly increased his speed, but still checked the reflector from time to time.

Sensing his abnormality, Sakai Izumi asked, "What's wrong?"

"It seems to have been followed by the car of the weekly magazine...... Ye Zhao's tone was not so sure.

Hearing him say this, Sakai Spring Water was at a loss for a moment, and he subconsciously wanted to look back, but was stopped by Ye Zhao.

"It's better not to look back, sister. He reminded.

It's a good idea to buy 18* magazines, so let's write it like this (weird)
