Chapter 409: Switching to Sony

In the box, the conversation between the two continued.

"So, teacher, have you talked about your next home, and which record company are you going to go to?"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't ask any knowingly questions and persuasions, such as "have you really thought about it?" and "don't you need to think about it again?"

He knew that Masaharu Fukuyama must have made up his mind before he told him.

Otherwise, with Masaharu Fukuyama's character, he would not rashly say things that have not yet been determined.

"Well, I've asked Hikari to contact the record companies privately, but I don't know yet, how things are going... ”

Hikaru is Masaharu Fukuyama's agent, Hikaru Otani.

Hearing the next house that has not yet been settled, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's ears can't help but move.

"In other words, you haven't decided yet?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought for.

。。。

In front of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Masaharu Fukuyama, who said some bad things about Kenji Kitano and felt a little more comfortable in his heart, began to pour sake into his cup.

After taking a sip of the wine in the glass, he let out a refreshing "hiss" and shouted, "Cool!"

Looking at Masaharu Fukuyama's appearance, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was also infected by his free and easy, and he also stretched out his hand, picked up the sake, poured it into his cup, and then picked up the cup and said to Masaharu Fukuyama, "Teacher, then I will toast you in advance, I wish you to be like this wine, the older you are, the purer you are, the older you are, the older you are, the spicier you are!"

"!"

Syllable!

"It hurts!"

Before Sakamoto Kiyoshi poured the wine in the cup into his mouth, his head was hit.

"You kid, don't think I can't see and want to take the opportunity to drink?! You're not an adult, you can't drink!" Masaharu Fukuyama also looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto with a look of "You think I'm stupid?" after beating someone who wanted to drink together.

"And what are you talking about? Are you cursing me for being old?"

"Damn, he's found out... Talking about the human spirit on the other side, Sakamoto Kiyoshi hurriedly brushed it off and said, "Where is it, I mean, you are like wine, so there is connotation... ”

"Hmph, that's pretty much it. ”

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was knocked on the head by Masaharu Fukuyama, seemed to have been woken up, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind!

"By the way, since the teacher is going to change the record company, and it hasn't been decided yet, then... Or persuade him to come to Sony?!"

This bold idea, like a weed, continued to grow wildly in Sakamoto Kiyoshi's mind until it occupied his entire mind.

The more Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was very reliable.

Think about it, with Masaharu Fukuyama's status in the music scene, if you want to change a record company, it will inevitably cause a rush from major record companies.

Whether it is Warner, EMI, and Sony, one of the four major records, or Ai Hui, who has been the No. 1 seller of physical records in Japan for many years, JVC Records, which needs a big singer, will definitely be very happy to welcome the arrival of Masaharu Fukuyama.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto's idea is that in this case, it is better to not flow fertilizer and water into the fields of outsiders, and directly persuade Masaharu Fukuyama to come to Sony, isn't it very good?!

Speaking of Sony Music, although it is one of the four major records, there is no one under its umbrella who can control the scene of the king-level singer.

Even Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is closest to this status, is still unable to become the king of Sony Music because of his seniority and age.

If Masaharu Fukuyama can switch to Sony, on the one hand, it will fulfill the dream of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaharu Fukuyama as two apprentices and belong to the same record company, and on the other hand, it will also bring a king-level singer to Sony Music.

As mentioned earlier, because of the bloodsucking strategy adopted by Sony Music, it has not had a king and diva-level singer for a long time.

This has always been a concern for Sony Music executives.

Therefore, Sakamoto Kiyoshi feels that as long as he convinces Masaharu Fukuyama, Sony's side will definitely not be a problem.

So, he waited for Masaharu Fukuyama to be almost drunk before he opened his mouth tentatively.

"What, teacher, do you have any requirements for the new record company?"

"Do you want a lot of delicate girls to call you Fukuyama-san?"

"Do you want a lot of handsome guys to saddle up and help you run errands?"

"Do you want to... ”

Before the "temptation" was over, Masaharu Fukuyama couldn't stand his chatter, waved his big hand, and made Erkang's hand, "Bridge bean sack!"

"Talking about the point!! "If it's a comic, Kiyoshi Sakamoto can see that Masaharu Fukuyama's forehead has a big "well" written very obviously.。。。

However, even if it is not a manga, Kiyoshi Sakamoto can know from Masaharu Fukuyama's expression and tone that Masaharu Fukuyama is impatient.

Therefore, he directly streamlined all the lines prepared in his mind, and finally, a thousand words were combined into one sentence.

"Are you coming to Sony?"

"Yes. ”

One question and one answer.

Masaharu Fukuyama's answer was so fast that Kiyoshi Sakamoto wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Looking at Masaharu Fukuyama blankly, it took nearly a minute for Kiyoshi Sakamoto to react.

Half-convinced, he asked, "Uh... Teacher, I don't seem to be able to hear clearly, but what you said was, "Yes?"

"Yes, yes. Masaharu Fukuyama replied as he raised his glass.

"?!!"

"It's not that I'm hallucinating, it's not that I'm misheard, it's true?!!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at it dumbfounded, the handsome uncle who was drinking wine and had a calm face.

"Really?!!"

"Don't you have to think about it again?"

"What about Uncle Otani?"

“。。。 ”

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's problem, like a cannon, hit Masaharu Fukuyama.

"Really. ”

"Don't think about it. ”

"I'll just tell him. ”

However, Masaharu Fukuyama is not an idle person.

Faced with a series of questions from Kiyoshi Sakamoto, he answered them one by one in a clear manner.

This was completely unexpected by Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

He thought that it would take a lot of effort to persuade Masaharu Fukuyama to switch to Sony, but now...

It seems that his words of persuasion are going to be held in his stomach.

Silence fell again.

It's just that this time it's not because there's nothing to say, but because Kiyoshi Sakamoto needs a little time to think.

Consider the operability of Masaharu Fukuyama's switch to Sony.

Specifically, as long as the three aspects are done, then Masaharu Fukuyama's switch to Sony Music can be realized.

First, brokerage firms.

In the entertainment industry, it is rare to change jobs from one company to another.

However, there are not a few.

However, compared to the difficulty of leaving the agency, changing the record company is not too ordinary for singers...

Generally speaking, a singer's record label is selected by the office where the singer's agency is located.

In other words, Universal Music was chosen by AMUSE for Masaharu Fukuyama.

And now, if Masaharu Fukuyama wants to change his label, he can, as long as he gets AMUSE's consent, and that's half the battle.

This is not a problem at all for Fukuyama, who is already a shareholder of AMUSE.

Therefore, on the part of the economic office, OK!

The second is to go home.

On the Sony side, Kiyoshi Sakamoto doesn't need to ask Naoki Kitagawa to know that Sony must be very welcome to Masaharu Fukuyama's joining.

Therefore, the next home aspect, OK!

Then only the third aspect remains.

"It seems that the main problem is the world ... As soon as Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought of this, he had a little headache.

As far as he knows, the contract signed by Masaharu Fukuyama with Universal has not yet reached its expiration date.

In other words, if Masaharu Fukuyama leaves the world at this time, it will be a breach of contract.

For breach of contract, liquidated damages must be paid, and there will be lawsuits.

However, liquidated damages or something, for Sony, which has deep pockets, is nothing at all.

Sony Dafa is good!!

It's just that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is worried that once Masaharu Fukuyama switches to Sony, will Masaharu Fukuyama's music career or reputation be hit.

After all, the reputation of this breach of contract is not very good.

Masaharu Fukuyama learned of his concerns from Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"Hahaha, so you're worried about this?" Masaharu Fukuyama laughed before explaining to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, "It's nothing at all, it's just a breach of contract, it's not a betrayal, there's nothing that doesn't have a reputation... ”

"And, if it's a reputation, I didn't have it back in 1999... ”

"Huh, what do you mean?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto wondered.

"Because, I switched from BMG JAPAN to Universal at that time, and I also came here by defaulting!"

"Uh... ”

Masaharu Fukuyama's words directly dispelled the last bit of worry that Kiyoshi Sakamoto had.

Stretched out his hand and handed it to Masaharu Fukuyama, who was sitting opposite, Sakamoto Kiyoshi nostrils turned to the sky, and said with a pretended face, "In this way, teacher, you are ready, and your students will take over the world in Sony together!!"

Syllable!

What greeted Kiyoshi Sakamoto was not a handshake by Masaharu Fukuyama, but a fierce blow.

"It's back to the world... You kid, don't watch so many big river dramas... ”

"Shhh

This blow directly made Sakamoto Qing so painful that he could only gasp and couldn't say anything.

This story tells us, well, that pretending to be forced will not only be struck by lightning, but also beaten by people.

Time passed slowly.

Suddenly, Kiyoshi Sakamoto saw the hour hand on his watch, which had pointed to half past nine in the evening, and then he remembered that it was still half an hour before the premiere of "The Sun".

So, he immediately said to Masaharu Fukuyama, who was sitting opposite.

"By the way, teacher, our band just started a new title show, just finished filming the first episode, it premieres at 10 o'clock tonight, you have to wait in front of the TV, give your students, increase the ratings a little!"

"Uh, really?"

"Of course, next time I invite you, don't refuse!"

“。。。 It depends. ”

"Teacher?!"

On the last day of April 2008, in the box of a Japanese restaurant, Kiyoshi Sakamoto used a sentence to bring a king to Sony...
