Chapter 44: A Difficult Task

When Ye Zhao put the negatives and tape recorder on his desk, Nagato Daiyuki couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, he didn't expect that Ye Zhao really got the evidence.

Ye Zhao's expression was very calm, "President Nagato, with these, and Fujimoto Liao providing witnesses, I think it's no problem to wash away my scandal, right?" The process of collecting evidence was not too difficult, it only took a little time, but Ye Zhao didn't have any joy of victory in his heart at all, just because in the process of this investigation, he clearly figured out one thing, that is, this series of scandals was just a boost from BLESSING by Mika Ogawa, who was sent to the door.

If there is no BRUNING, the power of this incident is at most an ordinary expired scandal, and the audience may complain about his girlfriend selection vision, or gossip about his family relationship, but soon this matter will be pushed back by more and more exciting news, and no one will care about harmless old things. AND UNDER THE INTERVENTION OF BRUNING, THIS EXPIRED SCANDAL BECAME A BIG BOMB THAT DETONATED PUBLIC OPINION, SLANDERING HIS CHARACTER, FAMILY, AND EVEN MUSIC, AND ALMOST CAUSED THE BIGGEST SCANDAL OF THE YEAR.

The most terrible thing is that this almost ruined everything for him, but BRUNING used Ogawa Mika's hand to play a little, if BRUNING wants to kill this time, with their style, they will definitely deal with the evidence cleanly, and then Ye Zhao may only have to go back to his hometown.

This feeling of powerlessness is like meeting a giant on the way to a mountain, the giant waves at you, blows you out 800 meters with a palm wind, and then climbs up again, only to be told by the giant that he just said hello to you. In the face of absolute power, no amount of cleverness will help.

"With that, of course, no problem. Nagato picked up the phone, "I'll call a meeting of the public relations department and send the statement and evidence to the major magazines and media." ”

"President Nagato, instead of issuing a statement, we might as well sue Weekly Shincho directly. Ye Zhao proposed, "When the evidence is complete, it can be said that there is no suspense in winning the case." Bringing down the weekly magazine and announcing the verdict to the world will be more convincing, and it will also be a deterrent to other magazines that are scribbling. ”

"Sue the weekly?" Nagato Daiyuki hesitated for a moment, in the entertainment industry, tearing his face with the magazine is a matter that needs to be considered twice, because the litigation period of the lawsuit is very long, and the company and the magazine will maintain a hostile state for a long time, and every time they offend a mouthpiece, they may bury countless troubles for themselves in the future.

"The president of Nagato is afraid of falling out with "Weekly New Trend"? With all due respect, there is no affection between the magazine and the artist, as long as there is material, they will not let it go, and they will definitely not fall behind when they follow the trend. If you don't sue them, they won't show mercy because of this, but they really sue them, and they can also weigh it, so that they can be more restrained when writing small essays in the future. "For example, "Weekly Wenchun" and the Fat Autumn Department are mortal enemies, but AKB's idols will still publish photos in this magazine, and "Friday" and the Fat Autumn Department have a good relationship, but in the face of shocking information, they have no mercy at all. In the entertainment industry, there is no absolute alliance or enemy, in the face of interests, the alliance can be dismantled, and the enemy can also shake hands and make peace. The relationship between Ran and BEING is so bad, WANDS and Miho Nakayama still collaborated on a song "I Love You More Than Anyone in the World", Xingchen and BEING belong to the same family, and when the Sakai spring water was hacked, they also quietly contributed to the trouble because they regretted letting go of this big fish.

Nagato Daiyuki was silent for a moment, and moved his finger on the 5 button to the 1 key, "...... I'm a long-term household. Please help me inform the company's legal counsel that there is a meeting at 3 p.m. and ask him to come and attend, yes, there is a lawsuit to be fought and I want to hear his opinion. Hanging up the phone, Nagato Daiyuki looked at Ye Zhao, "You owe me a favor." ”

"It's a win-win situation. Ye Zhao met Nagato Daiyuki's gaze, "Of course, I will remember this favor, President Nagato." ”

……

The next day, a big headline was posted on the bulletin board of the morning news: BEING formally filed a lawsuit against its singer Ye Zhao for false reports by Weekly New Trend, demanding a public apology from Weekly New Wave and demanding a total of 220 million yen in compensation and damages.

The male anchor of the morning news held a telescopic pole and interpreted the news: "...... As far as the evidence disclosed by BEING is concerned, the defeat of Weekly New Wave in this matter is almost a foregone conclusion, and if the lawsuit is successful, Weekly New Wave may have to face the largest amount of compensation since its founding. ”

"Sure enough, Ye Zhaosang is innocent, right?" the female anchor who served as a partner expressed her opinion.

"Now it seems so, yes. Okay, let's move on to the next ......"

……

Ye Zhao doesn't care about the lawsuit between BEING and "Weekly New Wave", he just needs to cooperate honestly, and then wait for the final result. From the outbreak of the scandal to the discovery of evidence to make the decision to sue the weekly, exactly ten days have passed, in these ten days, Ye Zhao can be said to have experienced the ups and downs of the artist vividly, the day before was surrounded by tens of thousands of people, and the day after the day he became a rat crossing the street, not only the record ranking fell all the way and quickly went out of the list, but even when he returned to the BEING headquarters with evidence, he was looked at by the young lady at the front desk of his own company with strange eyes that wanted to speak and stopped, and even on the day he went to find Fujimoto Liao, he sat in Watanabe Lu's car, and saw his record discarded in the roadside garbage bin through the car window。

Winning the lawsuit is only the first step in starting anew, and if you want to achieve a full victory, you have to see how the next road goes. After all, such a big thing happened, in the strange country of RB, even if Ye Zhao didn't do anything, and even if he himself was a victim, there were still many people who felt that Ye Zhao had caused trouble, and the reason was simply because he was the center of this commotion.

From this point of view, Ye Zhao is very grateful to Changhu for his great luck. After the incident, he did not refrigerate Ye Zhao or even kick him out of the company for fear of the expansion of the situation, even if he did not have hope, he still sent Yuzo Oda to assist Ye Zhao in investigating Mika Ogawa, and then took the risk of tearing his face to sue "Weekly New Wave". Although he is a businessman who puts interests first, he is not a businessman who forgets his righteousness.

Why do you say that Nagato Daiyuki is still saying that his interests are paramount when he has helped him so much? Because Nagato Daiyuki just said that Ye Zhao owes him a favor, he can't wait to assign him an indescribable task: to write a single title song for WANDS.

"Can I say I can't do it......" Ye Zhao bargained, "If the president just wants me to provide songs to the seniors and colleagues of the company, DEEN or MANISH can do it." ”

"WANDS hasn't released a single since June, and the composers in the company have written a lot of good songs, but Uesugi-kun and Shibasaki-kun are not satisfied, so I thought you might as well brainstorm and write a song to read. By the way, didn't you go to the same party as Uesugi-kun, how did you talk about writing songs for them, so reluctantly?"

"It's not that I'm reluctant, but I just think that Uesugi-san and Shibasaki-san can both compose their own music, so why not release a single with their tunes? Ye Zhao said euphemistically.

If he's not mistaken, after releasing the album "Until the End of the World", WANDS went silent for more than half a year, and then released the band's transformation work "Secret Night~It's My Treat~" as if expressing their determination not to give in to Daiyuki Nagato, who asked them to sing assembly line POPROCK. This transformation was undoubtedly a failure in a commercial sense, and from this single onwards, the band's sales ushered in a precipitous decline, and because of this, the gap between Nagato Daiyuki, who wanted them to sing back to POPROCK, and Nagasugi who wanted to stick to himself, grew until Uesugi couldn't bear it anymore and chose to quit the company with Shibasaki.

Sure enough, hearing Ye Zhao's words, Nagato Daiyuki frowned and said: "Uesugi-kun and Shibasaki-kun have creative ability, but their music style is destined to be difficult to sell well. "Now that WANDS is very popular, Nagato Daiyuki certainly hopes that they will strike while the iron is hot and maximize their profits. And the transformation that Uesugi is seeking just happened to step on the tail of the businessman Nagato Daiyuki, so it's no wonder that the two can get along.

Ye Zhao respects Uesugi very much from the bottom of his heart, unlike Ye Zhao, who has been rushing to sell well-selling singles from the beginning, Uesugi really loves music, and has a heart to chase his dreams even if he hits his head and breaks his blood. When I was a teenager, I heard the song "Until the End of the World" in "Slam Dunk", and Ye Zhao, who didn't know Japanese at all at that time, thought it was a dream song. When he became an adult, he knew the meaning of the lyrics and also understood the trajectory of Uesugi Sheng's life, this song "Until the End of the World" is not so much a dream song as a song of broken dreams, and it is the helpless and stubborn roar of Uesugi who is bound by shackles.

Thinking of the silent Uesugi at the first BEER meeting, Ye Zhao said, "Then I'll try, president." ”

……

Of course, Ye Zhao would not take out a best-selling golden song and hand it to Uesugi Sheng, knowing that others hate mustard the most, and he still has to feed mustard to others, unless he has an enmity with this person, otherwise it is very immoral to do so. Uesugi has his dreams to stick to, Nagato Daiko has his philosophy and policy to implement, and it is a thankless task to satisfy both parties.

For days, he locked himself in the studio, meditating on his guitar, plucking a few chords from time to time, searching through a huge library of songs for the right song. It's rare to see him like he forgets to sleep and eat, and even the staff passing by are tiptoeing, you must know that many people who are engaged in creation have some strange problems, in case he interrupts his train of thought, it is not good to be chased all the way by him with a guitar......
