Chapter 70: Sony Audition (1)
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who got the notice, was dragged over by Masaharu Fukuyama after celebrating with the Sakamoto family, and celebrated another wave with Uncle Ishida at his home.
It's not over, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned to his home where he lived alone, he was Gakki and Sesame sauce, and he found Mirai Moriyama, Chai Qiyuki and others to have a surprise party.
In just two days, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has become numb.
Seeing the joyful look of his friends and family, Kiyoshi Sakamoto could only complain in his heart, "Why are you so excited, now that I have been admitted to the University of Tokyo, it seems that I have become the leader of some country... ”
Kiyoshi Sakamoto took it for granted that he was admitted to the University of Tokyo, but his family and friends were honored, because a fifteen-year-old student at the University of Tokyo should have no one before or since.
This person is still his own son, friend, of course, he will be more excited.
After celebrating Sakamoto Kiyoshi's admission to Tokyo University, Sakamoto Kiyoshi quickly put this matter behind him and didn't think about it.
However, it does not mean that the media, magazines, and newspapers that are always staring at him, the king of popularity, will let him go.
"Kiyoshi Sakamoto Admitted to the Highest University, University of Tokyo ?!!"
"The First 15-year-old !! to pass the University of Tokyo"
"The Little Prince of Sakamoto is about to enter the ?!! of Todai University"
"Entering Tokyo University with the highest score, XX cram school tells you how Kiyoshi Sakamoto was easily admitted to the highest university"
Various newspapers and magazines, as well as headlines in online media, are all versions of the news that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was admitted to the University of Tokyo.
I don't know where the news leaked out, just two days after Sakamoto Kiyoshi got the notice, the entire RB knew that Sakamoto Kiyoshi, a genius boy, had done another surprising thing - he was admitted to the University of Tokyo.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was born in 90, is just fifteen years old this year, and this is how at such a young age, even at a young age, he was admitted to the first RB school that many people dreamed of but kept working hard but could not get into, the University of Tokyo.
This also let the entire RB people know that such a talented young man in the entertainment industry is not only very talented in music, but also a genius in learning, and he was casually admitted to Tokyo University with the highest score.
This also made Sakamoto Kiyoshi's popularity explode all of a sudden.
Not only in the entertainment industry, but in various circles, the name Kiyoshi Sakamoto has become a hot topic, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto has become the focus of the entire RB society at the beginning of March.
Even Kiyoshi Sakamoto's solo single "I'm Yours" won the sales champion in February, the sales champion for two consecutive weeks, and the news of selling 1.1 million copies was also robbed of the headlines by Kiyoshi Sakamoto's own news that he was admitted to Tokyo University.
On this matter, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was also ridiculed by Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki, "I stole my own limelight, such an artist, only Sakamoto Kiyoshi." ”
Kiyoshi Sakamoto is also very depressed, because he doesn't want to be so public, do things in a low-key manner, and make a fortune in a muffled voice.
Now it's good. Everyone knows that he was admitted to the University of Tokyo, and he suddenly pushed Sakamoto Kiyoshi to the attention of the people, which made Sakamoto Kiyoshi a little uncomfortable.
The reason is because, in the past, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was not a very popular artist, just a newcomer king, and there was no paparazzi to guard him;
And the more famous, the easier it is for Kiyoshi Sakamoto to get around.
However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi has long been mentally prepared for the inconvenience of various aspects of travel and private life after he becomes famous in the future.
Sony, Band Practice Room.
"However, it's time to buy a house elsewhere in advance. Kiyoshi Sakamoto muttered to himself.
Syllable!
With a tap on the shoulder, Kiyoshi Sakamoto turned his head and saw Chiba Masaki's handsome face with glasses.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" asked Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
"Qing, you just played the wrong chord. Chiba said with a big grin.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto only reacted at this time, looked around, saw the familiar environment and people, and remembered that he was in Sony's band practice room, practicing with the band.
"Oh, sorry, I'm a little distracted, which song did we just practice?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked, looking at Chiba Masaki with apologetic eyes.
"We've got to the title song, PLANET. Ogawa Shin, who was behind Sakamoto Kiyoshi's left, also spoke out at this time.
"Oh, got it. Sorry hah. Kiyoshi Sakamoto also said a word to Ogawa.
Ogawa is also noncommittal.
This is the seventh time that THE SUN has practiced together, and only the last song remains, and it is "PLANET" as the title song.
The SUN band, when practicing and performing, stands in the shape of an inverted triangle.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, as the lead singer and guitarist, stands at the forefront.
Shin Ogawa stands behind Sakamoto Kiyoshi on the bassist, and Masaki Chiba stands behind Kiyoshi Sakamoto on the right as a drummer.
This formation also looks more harmonious, and it also highlights the importance of Kiyoshi Sakamoto as the core of the band.
With a squeak, when THE SUN was about to continue practicing together, the door to the practice room was pushed open.
The three of them looked at the door and found that it was the agent of the three who came in, Uncle Ishida.
"How are you practicing?" Uncle Ishida, who came in, was concerned about the progress of the band as soon as he opened his mouth.
Uncle Ishida, who was originally just Sakamoto Kiyoshi's agent, also became the agent of the TEH SUN band at the same time at the suggestion of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, which also increased Uncle Ishida's income a lot, but he was a little too busy, and he was always complaining to Sakamoto Kiyoshi and wanted to find an assistant agent to come back and help.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto also thinks this is a good idea, but the main thing is that he can't find someone he can trust for the time being.
In Sakamoto Kiyoshi's eyes, the position of the agent must be someone he can trust, because as an artist's agent, he will come into contact with many secrets of the artist, if he is not a trustworthy person, he will only let his news leak out, and there are various other bad situations.
Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto would rather let Uncle Ishida be busy and work hard first, rather than find a random agent, but the assistant can find two to help Uncle Ishida run errands.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto also told Uncle Ishida about recruiting a newcomer's assistant, and handed over this matter to Uncle Ishida to be responsible.
"And the final title song, which is not very proficient yet, should be practiced a few more times, and it should be about the same. Kiyoshi Sakamoto said.
"Oh, that's it. By the way, Kiyoshi, Director Yamada is looking for you. Uncle Ishida suddenly said to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
"Eh, what are you looking for me?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little puzzled.
"I don't know, but I heard that it was a trial meeting. Uncle Ishida seemed to have something hidden in his words.
"Oh, so I'll go over now?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto put the guitar on his body back into the guitar case.
"Well, hurry up. I still have something to say to Ogawa-kun and Chiba-kun. Uncle Ishida said.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto glanced at Uncle Ishida suspiciously, then turned his head to look at Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki, and found that the two of them also looked puzzled, and they knew that Kogawa Shin and the two didn't know what the situation was.
So, I pushed open the door of the practice room and walked towards the music department.
A few minutes later, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who came to Director Yamada's office, learned a very unexpected news from Yuichi Yamada's mouth.
"What? call me a judge?" asked Kiyoshi Sakamoto, looking at Yuichi Yamada, in surprise.
"Well, this is President Kitagawa's opinion, and there is nothing, it's just to listen to the performances of those participants in the past, and you don't need to say anything, anyway, there is Hirai-san, and I am there, so you can go over and watch. Yuichi Yamada, as Naoki Kitagawa's confidant, knew that this was a test of Kitagawa bosses within Sony, testing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's connections and acceptance within Sony.
From this point of view, Naoki Kitagawa has consciously praised Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
Yamada also believes that Sakamoto Kiyoshi, as Sony's "own son", will definitely become a big thing in the entertainment industry in the future, and in order to prevent him from favoring Sony's directorship, Kitagawa Naoki has long been dealing with Sakamoto Kiyoshi and has always supported Sakamoto Kiyoshi.
And in the eyes of Sony's people, Sakamoto was sent by Kitagawa early in the morning.
In order to make Sakamoto Kiyoshi stand on the same front as the Kitagawa faction, and make Kitagawa Naoki's "dominant" position in Sony Records more stable, Kitagawa will definitely push Sakamoto Kiyoshi up, whether it is outside or inside.
So at the annual Sony audition, Naoki Kitagawa proposed to make Sakamoto Kiyoshi more influential in Sony as a Sony record, and he was a judge on the first day to see if he could help Sony pick a few geniuses, and by the way, let the people in Sony know that Sakamoto Kiyoshi is now a senior member of the company's music.
Therefore, Naoki Kitagawa gave Kiyoshi Sakamoto a name: Sony Music Producer.
As for Sakamoto Kiyoshi's vision, you can know it from Makokawa and Chiba Masaki.
The musical talents of these two people, although they are not as demonic as Sakamoto Kiyoshi, are basically talents that can be regarded as one in a million, and the two are still so young, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future, which is enough to see how powerful Sakamoto Kiyoshi's vision is.
As for being a judge, Kiyoshi Sakamoto thinks it's also fun, and in the last few days, I've been practicing songs in the practice room, and I just feel a little bored, so I agreed.
In this way, Kiyoshi Sakamoto took over the title of music producer and prepared to be a judge for the Sony audition.
The time of the audition session is tomorrow!
