Chapter 445: End of the Year
The last month of the year-end is with a summary meaning, which is no exception in the entertainment industry, or in other words, in the entertainment industry, the meaning of summary is even stronger.
Year-end stocktakes, special programs, and award ceremonies.
In short, the stars and artists who are full of popularity and topics this year will not be absent from various activities at the end of the year.
Similarly, those who rushed into the public eye with the momentum of "I'm coming!" when they were born, but they ran out of momentum and fell silent during the year, they could only quietly withdraw.
To say cruelty is to say that it is really cruel.
No wonder there is such a saying as "New Year's Pass", in fact, every alternation of the old year and the new year is like a hurdle.
The tour of the serial number is dizzying, and I am still here today, and after a good night's sleep, I will go to another new city, and when I arrive in Kansai, even Ye Zhao, who loves to travel at public expense, has given up wandering around, honestly participated in rehearsals, and hid in the lounge to recuperate before the performance.
After finishing the performance in the Kansai region, the band returned to Tokyo for a while to take a break and to deal with the accumulated affairs during this time.
The day I returned to Tokyo, it was rainy from the morning. If people with joint pain, facing such weather, it is estimated that it is 100% very hard.
Sure enough, when he saw Itami Yasutaka at the office and said hello, he stood up on crutches. Honda, a classmate of Jun Takeda, said that Yasutaka Itami had injured his right knee.
After coming to Tokyo, Honda recommended Yasutaka Itami, who was a trader, to Ye Zhao.
Itami Yasutaka was a classmate of Honda's university days, but after graduating, one of them returned to Sapporo to work, while the other stayed in Tokyo and entered the securities center.
Honda lived an ordinary life in the far north, until the bank he worked for was on the verge of bankruptcy, and he himself was tired of the life of an "assistant", so he accepted Ha Zhao's invitation and followed Takeda Jun to Tokyo.
Although Itami Yasutaka was once like a fish in water in Tokyo, as the securities center where he worked faced bankruptcy and liquidation, his life also came to a crossroads of choices.
Honda, on the other hand, was just waiting for him to be hesitant to return to his job or go it alone.
Itami is experienced and proficient in business, but occasionally he is a little overwhelmed.
Honda, on the other hand, had a calm personality and a long-term vision, and at the bank, he was the one who had already seen the hidden shortcomings and crises of quantitative easing at the beginning of its implementation, when he was not yet 30 years old.
Together, these two guys are a great complementary lineup.
After these two people joined, they could be regarded as having someone who could coordinate the overall situation for the time being, and Ye Zhao no longer had to rely on blind guessing like a headless fly.
As for how to participate in the war in the future, and whether or not to recruit new people, these must be acted upon at the opportune moment.
Ye Zhao has no kinship with them, and there is no kindness to them, and they are not generals who will be loyal as long as they receive gifts, and the ability to see through people's hearts does not exist.
But it's even stranger to pursue the kind of 100% loyalty between the puppet and the master. Between them, it is nothing more than a temporary connection by interests.
If more interests are involved, then it will be more reliable.
After meeting Honda and Itami Yasutaka and having a discussion with them, he put the matter aside for the time being and went about his job.
As I said before, the end of the year is full of various summaries.
Funny artists have various special groups to record, actors also have various ceremonies to participate in, and as for singers, at the end of the year, it is indispensable to have special programs and award ceremonies for various music groups.
Of course, the two most important of them, that is, the Red and White Song Club and the Record Awards, although the cable awards are also important awards in China, but after all, they are inferior to the record awards.
In addition, there is also an award ceremony called the "Golden Disc Awards", but it is not presented at the end of the year, but in March. The criteria for awarding awards are also simple and crude, and they are completely based on the number of records shipped, and whoever has more shipments will win the award.
Even so, there is still a bit of a threshold if you want to win this award.
Since the award is sponsored by the Japan Recording Association, only the company that publishes the record is a member of the Japan Recording Association.
Otherwise, no matter how much you sell, it won't work.
This year's Ye Zhao can be said to be in the limelight for a while.
By the time we entered October, his single "KISEKI" had already beaten the two million-dollar singles of Mr. Kids and Globe in front, and the latecomer came to the top, temporarily occupying the first place on the singles annual chart.
And from then until the end of the chart, this gap was not recovered, and by the time the end of this year's chart, this single held its first place with an advantage of about 20,000 copies.
It's also interesting to say, because the three singles are too glued, music magazines and intelligence programs, and they also have a special discussion on which single is the top of this year's annual chart, and they have analyzed their respective winning rates with reason.
Among them, the majority of those who supported the globe to win the championship did not expect that not only was the championship taken away by Ye Zhao, but the second place was also occupied by Mr. Child, and this single with the most high hopes only won the third place.
That being said, the two million-level singles are very powerful.
In addition to "KISEKI", which won the championship, Ye Zhao's other two singles also entered the top ten of the annual chart. IF YOU LOOK FURTHER DOWN THE CHARTS AND COUNT INTO THE TOP 20, THERE ARE ALSO PUFFY'S TWO SINGLES THIS YEAR.
In addition, there is also the theme song "1/2" provided by Makoto Kawamoto for "Rogue Kenshin", who is ranked twenty-four.
Not only was it a big win on the singles chart, but on the album chart, his album "Image", which included two two million singles and one million singles, also sold all the way after it went on sale - in any case, an album with best-selling singles is to be more eye-catching.
By the end of the year's charts, the album topped the charts with 3.86 million copies, and Globe followed suit again, ranking second with a margin of about 50,000 copies.
Alone to win the annual chart of singles and albums, there is no doubt that this year is a year for Ye Zhao, and it is also a year of harvest and victory for him.
Interestingly, the champions of last year's two charts were won by dreams come true. The list has been dominated by the same group of singers for two consecutive years, which is also quite talked-about.
