Chapter 115: Undercover?
Sitting in the box, the person who is drinking tea, or to put it bluntly, the fat man is the father of AKB, Yasu Akimoto.
Familiar black-rimmed glasses, familiar body shape.
As a junior in the entertainment industry, Kiyoshi Sakamoto must have to say hello to this senior first.
So, after passing by, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little surprised at first, and immediately bowed to Yasushi Akimoto and said, "Akimoto-san, long time no see, I'm sorry for today." ”
"Hello, Sakamoto-kun, long time no see. Akimoto Yasushi also replied with a smile, but when he laughed, his eyes were squeezed by the flesh on his face.
The first meeting between Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yasusu Akimoto was at Sony, when the Kitagawa boss was next to him.
And the second meeting between the two is now, and next to them is still Beichuan boss.
History is always strikingly similar.
And what is the core topic of this dinner? Kiyoshi Sakamoto only thought of one in his heart.
akb!!!
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who doesn't know why he appeared here, has no choice but to cheer up twelve points of spirit to meet the next various situations.
After the Kitagawa boss sat down facing Akimoto Yasu, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also sat on the side of the Kitagawa boss, and he sat very upright.
In front of the two old foxes, Sakamoto Kiyoshi had to pretend to be very obedient and well-behaved, so as not to let the two of them eat him in one bite.
"Akimoto-san, we're meeting again. As soon as he sat down, Naoki Kitagawa opened his mouth to say a word, which sounded to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, just a greeting.
"yes, we'll meet again. Akimotoyasu's answer is also normal.
However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi vaguely felt that the air in the box was filled with an unspeakable atmosphere.
"These two people have a strange relationship. Sakamoto, who couldn't tell what was strange, his intuition told him that something big must have happened today, and Sakamoto Kiyoshi pricked up his ears even more, wanting to get some information from the next conversation between the two.
But, unfortunately, after a somewhat spooky opening statement, the two began to ramble around.
And during this period, after the dishes kept coming up, Sakamoto Kiyoshi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and started the rhythm of eating, and he didn't pay attention to the comparison between the two middle-aged men.
Interestingly, these two bigwigs didn't care about the state of Sakamoto Kiyoshi eating on the side and not saying a word.
Or rather, they were satisfied, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't say much.
The meal lasted for about half an hour, and at this time, suddenly, the big guy Kitagawa put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked Yasu Akimoto, who was sitting opposite.
"That matter, Akimoto-san, how did you think about it?"
"Hmm, there's a situation!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto heard his boss speak, and immediately realized that the next conversation was likely to be the highlight of the night.
Hearing Naoki Kitagawa ask such a question, Yasuya Akimoto was stunned at first, then put down the chopsticks in his hand, and replied with a serious expression, "I've already thought about it." ”
"Oh, what is your reply?" replied to the big guy Beichuan very calmly.
Sakamoto Kiyoshi sat on the side, and also gently placed the chopsticks in his hand on the table, for fear that he would make a little noise, which would destroy the momentum of the confrontation between the two now.
"Yes. Yasushi Akimoto's answer was brief.
However, when Naoki Kitagawa heard this answer, his expression seemed to be much kinder all of a sudden.
"Hahaha, then I'll wish you a happy cooperation here!"
"Good, nice to work with. Yasu Akimoto also picked up the wine glass and touched it with Naoki Kitagawa.
The two drank this glass of wine at the same time, but Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who was sitting on the side, was very confused at this time.
"What the hell are they talking about? I don't understand anything? Cooperation? What's going on?akb?" Sakamoto thought to himself.
"Sakamoto-kun!" Suddenly, the fat man called Sakamoto.
"Yes, Akimoto-san, you call me?" Sakamoto was frightened by the sudden call of the fat man Akimoto, and almost knocked over the juice at hand, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough to hold on.
"That's right, didn't I tell you last time?What do you think about the fact that we have the opportunity to work together?" Akimoto Yasusu first pushed his glasses before saying this, a little surprised.
"Oh, do you mean, you write the lyrics, I compose, and co-create a song?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't know what Yasushi Akimoto meant, and he was playing dumb riddles with the big guy Kitagawa, but now he suddenly told me about co-creation?
"Is the fat man's mind jumping like this?, or is it just this Akimoto fat man?" the thought flashed through Sakamoto's mind.
"Well, yes, Sakamoto-kun, the music you made is very good, and of course, your lyrics are also very good. But I'm just wondering, if your song is added to my words, will it make a famous song? I'm curious about that. As one of the top lyricists in the entertainment industry, Yasusu Akimoto is undoubtedly very confident in his lyric writing ability.
After all, this fat man once wrote the lyrics for Misora Skylark's posthumous work "The River Flows Endlessly", and this song can be said to have established Yasushi Akimoto's status as a top lyricist in one fell swoop.
Many people want to ask for one of his words, but they can't ask for it.
However, now, he actually said that he wanted to cooperate with Kiyoshi Sakamoto to create a song.
If this matter spreads, Sakamoto Kiyoshi will definitely be jealous and envied by many people.
However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto himself is not as simple as he thinks, what he is thinking about is what the purpose of Yasuya Akimoto is doing this.
Although, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's status in Sony is slowly improving, but it still hasn't reached Sony's top level, and Akimoto Yasu, who has long been a famous lyricist, screenwriter, producer, director, and writer, is still a big gap between the two, so Sakamoto Kiyoshi feels that Akimoto Yasushi must have a purpose in doing this.
However, for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, being able to cooperate with Yasusu Akimoto is also an opportunity, an opportunity for Kiyoshi Sakamoto's status in the entertainment industry to rise again.
Because, neon is a society that looks at seniority very much, no matter which circle it is, the entertainment industry is even more so.
If young people want to climb to a high position quickly, it is difficult, but there is still a way,
And that way is to climb the high branches.
It's like if Sakamoto Kiyoshi can work with Akimoto Yasu, it proves that Akimoto recognizes Sakamoto Kiyoshi's strength and treats him on the same status as himself, which invisibly elevates Sakamoto Kiyoshi's qualifications and status in the art world.
This kind of cooperation, for Sakamoto Kiyoshi, has all the benefits and no harm.
Therefore, Sakamoto Kiyoshi promised Akimoto Yasushi that after he went back, he would start composing, and then he would bring it to him to see if he could cooperate for a wave.
However, Yasu Akimoto also gave Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a theme, around which he would compose.
I don't know why I want to limit the theme, but Sakamoto wasn't afraid at all, so he took on this "challenge".
The theme is: Teenage girls.
After three rounds of drinking, Kiyoshi Sakamoto watched the two bigwigs in the entertainment industry at the scene, constantly splitting the wine, and finally, at ten o'clock, the dinner turned into an inexplicable meeting of the wine party, and just like that, it ended.
On the way home, Kiyoshi Sakamoto remembered that he wanted to find out a little bit in the conversation between the two, and the idea of information about AKB fell through.
"Damn, there's nothing to gain! Hmm? Could it be that the big guy Kitagawa and the fat man Akimoto just know that I am next to me, so they will play dumb riddles? They shouldn't know, I already know about AKB! Could it be that Kenji Kitagawa has already told the big guy Kitagawa ?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto quickly ran his brain, trying to get an answer from all kinds of clues.
But, in the end, there is still confusion.
"Ahh Well, it's too bad, I drank too much juice just now, and the toilet toilet !!" Suddenly, a warning came from the lower half of his body, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto quickly accelerated his pace to go home.
The next day, after class, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was called by the big guy Beichuan and summoned to the president's office again.
"Sakamoto-kun, did you reach it safely yesterday?" As soon as he came up, the big guy Beichuan was concerned.
"Yes, I went home safely, thank you President Sama for your concern. Sakamoto replied.
"Well, that's good, I called you here today to tell you something. Big guy Beichuan sat on the sofa, his eyebrows and eyes were a little tight, and he said with a serious expression.
You say. Kiyoshi Sakamoto also sat up straight, looking at the big guy with a serious expression, much like the little brother waiting for the big guy's orders, and he deserved to be the winner of the best little brother of the year.
"You've already heard Kenji say it, right? Kitagawa Naoki suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Sakamoto Kiyoshi's eyes tightly, as if Sakamoto Kiyoshi dared to say a "no" word, so he called someone to come in and drag him out and cut him down.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto actually expected it when he came up, so when he heard the question of Naoki Kitagawa raiding, he didn't panic, but replied very seriously, "Yes." Qian Ersan, you told me about this plan. However, I don't know what kind of plan this Akihabara plan is? Kenji-san just wants me to say something nice in front of you. ”
"I'm sorry, Second Brother Qian, in order not to let the big guy Beichuan suspect, I can only blow you out, I'm sorry. In such a situation, Kiyoshi Sakamoto can only do this.
Otherwise, if the Beichuan boss knew that he had known about this secret plan, it would only make the Beichuan boss suspect his intelligence source.
"Well, Kenji also told me, so, next, Sakamoto-kun, you heard clearly, I want you to do something. "Big guy Beichuan really looks like a big brother, ready to let Sakamoto, the little brother, do some very dangerous tasks, his expression is so serious, and his tone is so low.
"Yes, please command. Sakamoto is also cooperating with the performance of the big guy.
"I want you to go to Akimoto-san's side and help our company watch the growth of this Akihabara plan, can you do it?"
"Yes, but what kind of plan is this Akihabara plan?" asked Sakamoto, knowing that this was the predecessor of AKB, as if he didn't understand.
"A large girl idol group!"
"Well, what is my mission and identity?"
"As a music producer under Akimoto-san, assist him and make this plan well, but I still have a task for you. At this time, the Beichuan boss's voice became deeper and lower, and if Sakamoto didn't listen carefully, he couldn't hear what he was saying.
"Huh, there's another mission?" Sakamoto wasn't too surprised by the status of a music producer, but there was still a task for me?
"Another task is to help me keep an eye on this plan, and if there are any special circumstances, you can report to me at any time. ”
"Yes!" Sakamoto Kiyoshi's expression was calm, but his heart was already flooded with turbulence.
"This is asking me to be an undercover ?!!"
