Chapter 656: The Declining Ai Hui
Hearing Jin Yufan's praise, BOA's mood also improved a lot. These years of hard work in Japan have also made BOA full of confidence, and he is very clear and aware of his status, popularity and influence in the Japanese music industry, and also understands the Japanese music market very well.
Therefore, for this Japanese single, BOA is still relatively confident, and he doesn't dare to say how to go against the sky and make a sensation, but it is still not a big problem to achieve a good result.
But now that it's filming the show, with VJ and cameras behind him, BOA doesn't dare to be too high-profile and full of confidence. Let's not say that this will give people a very proud feeling, in case something happens at that time, and the director's single performance is very poor, then it will be a real shame.
BOA is not a newcomer who has just debuted, of course he knows what to say and what not to say.
What's more, even if BOA is confident, it still can't be high-profile in front of Jin Yufan, a musical demon.
As many Korean professional musicians say, Kim Yu-beom is definitely a musical demon, a transcendent goal for all musicians. In front of Jin Yufan, don't be proud and proud of your music, otherwise, it will be the result of being beaten by Jin Yufan.
Therefore, BOA said very modestly and low-keyly: "Fortunately, OPPA, you also know that this kind of new single is released, no matter how much estimation is useless, it still depends on whether fans like it or not after the single is released." Hopefully, fans will enjoy this single by then. ”
"I like it, of course I like it, this is our Bao'er single, can you not like it, you must like it, you must support it. Jin Yufan looked serious and said very strictly. BOA couldn't help but be shy, patted Jin Yufan on the shoulder, and said in a coquettish nasal voice: "OPPA, don't talk about this, it's so stressful, in case the grades are not good." So what to do? ”
Jin Yufan stopped, which also made BOA can't help but stop, looking at Jin Yufan with a puzzled face, not knowing what was wrong. But Jin Yufan smiled and looked at BOA very warmly, and a simple sentence suddenly made BOA completely fall.
"It's fine, whether others like it or not, but in my eyes. Our Boa is always the best. ”
BOA, who was moved, also said a meaty sentence that is usually impossible to say: "Well, thank you OPPA, as long as OPPA believes in me and supports me, I will definitely work hard to persevere and do my best." Because I know, and the trust and support of OPPA. That's enough. ”
Behind him, Kim Woo-beom and BOA's VJ, when he heard Kim Woo-beom and BOA's conversation. I couldn't help but get excited. This is to love each other, and the rhythm of meaty words.
Along the way, Jin Yufan and BOA didn't care about the more and more onlookers around them, just talked willfully to themselves, and stopped from time to time to buy some food and drink in some small shops on the side of the road. It's no different from a normal couple.
Half an hour later, Kim Yu-fan and BOA finally arrived at their destination this time, which was Ai Hui Records.
Speaking of Ai Hui Records, Jin Yufan couldn't help but sigh, because Jin Yufan found out. Ai Hui Records has too many similarities with his MC company.
First of all, whether it is Ai Hui Records or MC Company, there is no doubt that they are top entertainment companies.
Secondly, whether it is Japan's Ai Hui Records or South Korea's MC agency, in the entertainment industry of their respective countries, they are actually not the strongest brokerage companies, at least in terms of heritage and influence.
The last point, that is, Ai Hui Records and MC Company both belong to the route of Tianhou Palace, and the artists cultivated are more focused on female artists.
The only difference is that MC's potential is much greater than that of Ai Hui Records. Now Ai Hui Records has developed to the peak state, and with the aging and declining popularity of Ayumi Hamasaki and others, Ai Hui Records has to go down the road of decline.
But the MC company is completely different, compared to Ai Hui Records, which has been at its peak for several years and is about to finish its peak and go downhill, the MC company is like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, it has just risen, the temperature has just risen, and it has not yet reached the maximum temperature.
"OPPA, this is Ai Hui Records!" Standing at the gate of Ai Hui Records, BOA introduced Jin Yufan with a happy face.
You must know that since BOA's debut, the time spent in Japan Aihui Records is far greater than staying in S? Company M has more time. Naturally, in comparison, BOA is more important than S? Company M is more familiar, more relaxed, and more homely.
Ai Hui Records, founded in 1987 by Matsuura Katsuto and his employees, was originally an inconspicuous entertainment company, under the leadership of Matsuura Katsuto, with the efforts of Yuan Ai Hui Records' employees, it has gradually become one of the absolute overlords of the Korean entertainment industry.
The current Ai Hui Records is not just a simple record company. Today's Ai Hui Records has long become a powerful, all-round and comprehensive media empire.
The three core businesses of Ai Hui Records are entertainment companies, brokerage companies and sales companies. And the fields involved in Ai Hui Records include almost all of the entertainment industry.
Music and video production, performing arts affairs agency, audio-visual production and sales, audio-visual production and online download services, membership services, marketing, commercial performances, film production and distribution.
Not only that, this year, Ai Hui Records also has its own communication and broadcasting company. It is no exaggeration to say that the current booming appearance of Ai Hui Records is indeed very bluffing, at least the whole of Japan and even the whole world has been deceived by Ai Hui Records, thinking that Ai Hui Records is going to fight its way out of the encirclement and become the leader of the Japanese entertainment industry.
But in fact, only Jin Yufan knows that although Ai Hui Records is developing very well now, it looks like it is about to become a comprehensive media empire, if nothing else, Ai Hui Records can really do it.
But the question is, can Ai Hui Records not have an accident, which is obviously impossible. Because Ai Hui Records has passed its peak, it has completely begun to go downhill.
In fact, since 2009, the peak of Ai Hui Records has come to an end. It should be said that the peak period of Ai Hui Records ended in 2008, and in 2009, it completely submerged and began to beat downhill.
In 2008, Ai Hui Records' Koda won the Best Pop Song of the Year Award at the Japan Cable Awards and the Best Pop Song of the Year Award at the Song Festival.
In addition to this, Ai Hui Records in 2008. When it comes to music awards that really matter, there's nothing else to gain at all.
Not only that, but after 2008 and into 2009, it was also the time when Ai Hui Records began to decline completely, the Japan Record Awards (Japan Record Awards), Japan Golden Disc Awards (Japan Golden Record Awards), Japan Cable Awards (Japan Cable Awards), Japan Trend Golden Melody Awards (BestHits Song Festival), and World Music Awards (World Music Awards). Five of Japan's most important music events. Ai Hui Records has never won any more important awards, at most it is just a few small awards.
Although there was a crazy outburst in 2013, in Jin Yufan's view, this time the outbreak of Ai Hui Records was completely a return to the light, and he was powerless to return to the sky.
In general, in the eyes of Jin Yufan, Ai Hui Records has completely declined, coupled with the fierce internal power struggle. I really don't know if in a few years, Ai Hui Records will still be able to have the status, influence and momentum it has in Japan!
However, these have nothing to do with Jin Yufan, and Jin Yufan doesn't care, anyway, Jin Yufan has no plans to enter the Japanese market, even if he enters the Japanese market, he will only choose to cooperate with Universal Japan's subsidiary, not Ai Hui Records.
So Ai Hui recorded life. doesn't care about Jin Yufan at all, and Jin Yufan will not be affected in the slightest. Laughing and dragged by the excited BOA, he walked into the headquarters of Ai Hui Records.
Because the "We Are Married" program team had already contacted Ai Hui Records and obtained permission from the program team to enter Ai Hui Records' internal filming, but after all, it was a brokerage company, and it still had a lot of its own secrets, so Ai Hui Records sent a special person. As the receptionist of the program group.
Well~~~ Well, to put it bluntly, he is the leader, and he is also the role of a monitor.
Everyone knows this, not to mention that the program team does not have any conspiracy against Ai Hui Records. It doesn't matter if there is such a monitor or not, so the atmosphere is quite good, under the introduction of BOA, Jin Yufan was dragged away by BOA after a simple hello to the other party.
As S? The first sister of M company, and BOA, which is also very popular in Japan, certainly has its own practice room and work team in Ai Hui Records.
Soon, BOA pulled Jin Yufan to his trainees, and his own work team introduced Jin Yufan in Japanese.
Nima, this is the role of seeing her mother's family, Jin Yufan looked at BOA with an excited face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was too messy, so that he was not prepared at all, and he was stunned, like a fool.
Although he thought so, Jin Yufan still reacted quickly, bowed in Japanese and greeted the BOA team: "Hello everyone, I am BOA's husband Jin Yufan, please take care of BOA in the future, please, thank you for your hard work." ”
Although Kim Yu-beom doesn't learn much Japanese, and he doesn't take into account MC's entry into the Japanese market, Japan is after all South Korea's No. 1 overseas market, and as a form of following the mainstream, MC still has Japanese classes, and Kim Yu-fan occasionally learns some.
After all, learning more languages is not a bad thing, there will always be benefits and help, if nothing else, at least it will allow Kim Yu-beom to watch the original Japanese movie and enjoy the original version, not the translated version of the destructive effect.
"Yu Fanjun is really too polite, this is our job, we will do a good job. Of course, everyone knows Jin Yufan's identity, in fact, BOA told everyone before that when BOA and Jin Yufan went to meet, BOA's work team was also busy searching for Jin Yufan's personal information on the Internet, so it was not easy to know Jin Yufan.
Therefore, after seeing Jin Yufan say hello, everyone didn't dare to treat Jin Yufan as a simple artist and joke, on the contrary, they bowed more strictly than the other, and the bow couldn't help but exceed 30 degrees.
You must know that the degree of bowing in Japan is also very particular, 15 degrees between friends, 30 degrees for teachers, and more than 45 degrees for bosses, and generally 50 degrees for bowing.
And the members of the BOA work team couldn't help but bow to Jin Yufan, more than 30 degrees. This also means that Jin Yufan is the chairman of a large brokerage company, which makes everyone feel pressured and respected.
BOA on the side couldn't help but smile and squint when he saw this qiē. For the first time Jin Yufan met with his work team members as a husband, and got rid of everyone's respect for taking care of himself, or his own work team's answer and bowing in return. It also makes BOA happy.
At this moment, the excited BOA couldn't stop at all, and pulled Jin Yufan and began to introduce his work team members one by one.
It took a few minutes, and under the introduction of BOA, Jin Yufan finally finished greeting the members of the work team. To be honest, tired is not tired, but Jin Yufan thinks that if he can, he should not continue, because he is not used to it.
Seeing BOA's excited look, it seemed that he wanted to say something. Jin Yufan hurriedly said in front of him: "By the way, Bao'er, didn't you say that you are preparing a new single now, I don't know if the single can be shown to me, I'm very curious." Of course, this is all with the permission of you and the company, if it doesn't work, forget it. ”
"Single?" BOA, who was about to say something, was stunned after hearing Kim Yu-beom's inquiry. After thinking about it for a while, he looked at Jin Yufan with a guilty face and said, "OPPA." I really can't make any decisions about this, I'm going to ask the broker. ”
"Well, that's good, then you can ask President Katsuto Matsuura first. You can say that I promise not to leak the song, I'm just curious. Hmm~~~ If you can. I may also have some opinions, but of course I don't care if I accept that this is a matter of Ai Hui Records. ”
Jin Yufan knows very well that BOA's agent in Japan is actually Katsuto Matsuura, the president of Ai Hui Records, and as for the assistant who usually runs with BOA.
"Hmm. OPPA: I'm going to call Matsuura-sensei right now. Hearing Jin Yufan's words, BOA's eyes also lit up, and at this moment BOA thought that Jin Yufan was a musical demon. If Jin Yufan is willing to give some opinions, there is no doubt that it will be very helpful to the song. As soon as he thought of this, BOA couldn't hold back any longer, and quickly took out his mobile phone and started calling.
The phone was quickly connected, and BOA began to chat quickly with Katsuto Matsuura in Japanese. Although Jin Yufan also understands Japanese, after all, he has not been used as often as BOA for more than ten years, and the speed of speech is too fast, and Jin Yufan sometimes still can't understand it, but in general, combined with the words behind the previous sentence, the general meaning can still be understood.
Hearing BOA say that he is bullish and super-talented in music, he is born in the wrong era, otherwise he will be the master of Beethoven and Chopin, Tchaikovsky and others.
At this moment, Jin Yufan is not calm at all, this is a bit too big, too big!
Now, Kim Woo-beom is worried that BOA describes himself like this, and Katsuto Matsuura still allows himself to watch BOA's new single in advance and allows himself to give his opinion.
You must know that Ai Hui Records is a top entertainment company in Japan, and there are enough and excellent musicians in the company, and the singles that BOA is preparing are also prepared by Ai Hui Records for BOA.
It stands to reason that as an outsider, you have to watch the unreleased and prepared singles in advance, and you also have to give your opinions. In a way, this is excessive, a denial of Ai Hui Records, and a provocation to Ai Hui Records.
Think about it from another perspective, if in South Korea, Yu Yongjin and other musicians suddenly ran to the MC company and asked to watch the single that Kim Yufan or MC's artists were preparing, and after watching it, they shouted that this is not good, where do they need to change or something.
Well, Jin Yufan admits that if he really encounters this situation, it is definitely a provocation to himself and the professionalism of the MC, and it is definitely a rhythm to tear his face and smash it.
"OPPA, Mr. Matsuura agreed, but the teacher said that if there are any changes, I would like to see it for myself and consider the situation in the Japanese market. At the same time, the teacher also knows that OPPA is the president of a company, so that Fin.K.L began to rise again, saved Girls' Generation and Kara, and cultivated missA. Therefore, the teacher hopes that you will be able to give your opinion in many aspects, and as long as it is a good opinion, the teacher will accept it. ”
"Multi-faceted, what does this multifaceted mean?" Jin Yufan was stunned, he didn't know what Matsuura Katsuto had in mind, and he was too relieved to himself, it seemed that the two were not familiar with each other, and they hadn't met, could it be that this was the so-called god friendship for a long time, it was definitely nonsense.
"The teacher said that you can shoot the music video of the song, costumes, hairstyles, choreography, etc. In short, as long as you think that this is not working, you need to modify it, or change it to another way to do better, you can put it forward. Hee-hee, you probably don't know OPPA, the teacher actually knows OPPA very well, and you know that OPPA is very good at this kind of comprehensive work. ”
"Really, Mayor Katsuren Matsuura really knows me?" Although his expression was smiling, in the bottom of his heart, Jin Yufan suddenly became wary of Katsuto Matsuura, which made a Japanese, a Japanese who is not simple, worry, which is definitely not a good thing.
"Of course, because OPPA is my idol, I used to talk to teachers about OPPA. In addition, OPPA is indeed very powerful and has achieved very dazzling results, so after the teacher pays attention to your understanding, he also admits that OPPA is very good. ”
"Hehe, the mayor of Matsuura Katsuren is too polite, I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be!" Jin Yufan shook his head modestly and said, becoming more and more curious about what Matsuura Katsuto had in mind. (To be continued......)
