Chapter 386: What a lot of money
Shortly after reaching an agreement with Keno Mitsui, Satomi Natsukawa took a plane from Okinawa to Tokyo. At this time, the streets and alleys of Tokyo are playing her new song from Namie Amuro, a native of Okinawa.
Ai Hui Records uses an unprecedented record dealer method on the new album released by Namie Amuro: a multi-edition cover. This album has a total of four different covers.
In later generations, the first return to the usual system and multiple versions of the cover have become the standard for singers, and there are fewer and fewer singers who still insist on one version. But now, it's a bold move in every sense of the word.
It can only be said that the record market has reached a point of "I'm popular and I am reasonable", this approach, if an unknown teenager takes the lead, I am afraid that he will be scolded for being bloody, but by the current most popular star Namie Amuro to do it, it will only make her followers rush to buy the cover they want.
Of course, there are accusations of this practice, but in any case, profit comes first, and the album was a big hit as soon as it was released, and Ai Hui Records also took another step on their way to dominating the Japanese record market.
In Ye Zhao's office, the desk is full of real estate advertisements.
There is a special person responsible for helping to contact real estate agents, and the efficiency of buying an office is naturally very high, and what Ye Zhao has to do is to decide the most satisfactory one from the suitable places that have been screened.
No matter what the bubble bursts into, the area that should be expensive is still very expensive, and the place that is cheap is not necessarily cheap.
Chuo Chiyoda, Minato Ward, the leader in housing prices, can easily sell for more than 6 million yen on a piece of land in one tsubo, and the prime location is not a dream. However, if you go to the remote Nerima area, you may only need 1.5 million yen for one square of land, and although Shibuya is good, the land price is still very impressive......
Fortunately, these things Takeda Jun has already finished worrying about him.
Among the several alternative places selected by Jun Takeda, Ye Zhao's favorite is a four-story building in Shibuya District, which covers an area of 50 tsubos and was built in 1982.
The house was built before the bubble economy began, and it has been some years now. The reason for the sale is because the original owner passed away, and the daughter who inherited the inheritance has no intention of taking care of the property, not to mention the high property tax to pay.
Shibuya is a good location after the house price leaders, and the location of this building is not bad, and the price is naturally very impressive.
Even in the case of a rush to get rid of it, the price of the land alone is 4.5 million yen, and the price of 50 tsubo alone is 225 million yen.
Fortunately, the buildings on the ground are some years old, and they were built before the bubble era (the materials used for the houses in the bubble era were better), so the price is not so exaggerated, but even so, the land and the house cost about 350 million yen.
Three and a half hundred million yen, exchanged for cash, smashed down on the brain, can smash people out.
After the bubble economy burst, the stick guys and stick girls in Tokyo stopped buying houses...... If you want to buy it, you have to have money. Even if the house price falls again, it is not something that can be bought casually.
Just when Ye Zhao was flipping through the housing information sorted out by the real estate agent sent by Jun Takeda, he took his order and was in charge of going to the airport to pick up Satomi Natsukawa Yuki Uemura, and came back with the person he received.
"Good afternoon, Miss Kanehisa. Ye Zhao met with Satomi Natsukawa in the small living room of his office.
Yuki Tamura made tea and sent it over, and even cut the fruit for the guests.
"Mr. Mitsui gave me a record of Miss Kanehisa when he was in Pori Kane, and with such singing power, it's no wonder that he has always been confident in you. Ye Zhao said.
However, there is also a problem. During the Hoshimiri period, she had a problem with singing, that is, she was too much like a singing machine.
It is true that her talent and singing skills are top-notch, but from the time she was on Ishigaki Island to the time she went to the singing program, it has always been smooth sailing, and she was only sixteen years old when she officially debuted, and her understanding of the song and the depth of the song itself are insufficient, so it is understandable why her first debut was so unsuccessful.
At the end of the day, she's also a piece of jade that needs to be polished.
Ye Zhao took Satomi Natsukawa to Satomi Natsukawa to audition in the recording studio in Roppongi, and for him suddenly brought a strange girl to the recording studio, although the staff here were curious about Satomi Natsukawa's identity, no one really asked.
Within being, Ye Zhao already has considerable autonomy.
didn't let the recording engineer come over to help, Ye Zhao personally went into battle to supervise the shed. Before singing, he handed the song audition tape and score to Satomi Natsukawa, "Please familiarize yourself with the song first." β
The song he prepared, called "γγΎγ", was the theme song of the documentary "Staring at Love and Death" filmed by TV Asahi.
It stands to reason that since the documentary comes with its own theme song, as early as when the movie was made, it was directly decided to use this song as the theme song, wouldn't it?
But the problem is that this song is very difficult to sing, and it is also very picky about the singer's voice, at least these female singers who are the producers of him can't sing it.
β¦β¦ The original singer of this song is Miwa Yoshida, the singing monster in Dreams Come True.
Although he found Satomi Natsukawa's "God-given voice", before actually listening to her audition, Ye Zhao was not sure that she would be suitable.
Of course she has singing skills, and it is more than enough to sing this song well. But the problem is that this song is different from the Satomi Natsukawa he has heard in terms of style and vocal requirements, and I don't know what kind of effect such a "mash-up" will bring.
It's like Daikoku Moji can't sing "Tears", and Satomi Natsukawa can't sing "Dakara".
If Dahei Moji sang "Tears Glittering", Ye Zhao would not feel moved, and Satomi Natsukawa sang "Dakara", Ye Zhao would not want to dance.
This has nothing to do with singing skills.
Before singing, Ye Zhao told her again, "Miss Xia Chuan, this is a pop song, so please give up the singing method and skills of the ballad and sing this song in the way of singing a pop song." β
Satomi Natsukawa nodded, "I understand, I'll try." β
After a brief conversation, Satomi Natsukawa walked into the recording room, and Ye Zhao put on his headphones and made a starting gesture at her. After she sang the first line, Ye Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: it was more suitable than expected.
After all, he is a professional singer, and he has sung all kinds of music when he sings in clubs. If you think about it, the Satomi Natsukawa that I heard on the CD is actually the Satomi Natsukawa that the listener wants to hear.
There's definitely more to her than just CDs. 2k reading web
