Chapter 239: Proposal
"Cooperation?"
Kiyoshi Sakamoto's tone was full of surprise.
"That's right, you should know Arashi, right?" asked Kitagawa.
"Acquaintance, but, I've only met a few times on the sound and said hello. Kiyoshi Sakamoto means "to know is to know, but not to be acquainted"
And the old man Kitagawa also knows, after all, the previous ban made no one dare to associate with Sakamoto Kiyoshi in the combination under Janiss.
Even Tomohisa Yamashita didn't dare to risk the world's disapproval and have too deep a relationship with Sakamoto Kiyoshi.
As for Arashi, it's even more impossible.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, but defeat their "opponent", how could they go to deal with him...
In this way, Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Genesys have only one Yamashita Tomohisa who has acted together, and they have basically no contact except for a little friendship.
Even,Kimura, who I just met,,Can be regarded as Sakamoto Kiyoshi's "acquaintance" in Genesysγγγ
However, this is no problem at all for old man Kitagawa.
As long as he speaks, Denis's people will rush to make friends with Sakamoto Kiyoshi.
"That's it, after a while of SUPER LIVE, Arashi also received an invitation, so, YOU and Arashi cooperate and have a special stage together!"
"Huh?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at the old man Kitagawa very inexplicably, not knowing what this Denis boss was thinking.
Let him and Arashi work together on a special stage?
What kind of meme is this?
The unpredictable Kitagawa made Kiyoshi Sakamoto begin to think about this seemingly nonsensical proposal.
Cooperation, it's not impossible.
But, first of all, you need to know what kind of benefits this cooperation can bring to Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Jennis.
For Kiyoshi Sakamoto, cooperating with Arashi, a group under Genesys, will definitely surprise the entertainment industry.
Because, this means that Denis no longer targets Kiyoshi Sakamoto, but begins to deal with him, and even befriend.
In this case, it will also let the public know that Kiyoshi Sakamoto has reconciled with Janiss.
For Sakamoto Kiyoshi, as long as Genesys no longer targets him, it is already very good, not to mention, after befriending Genesys, it will be very helpful for him to appear in the programs of the five major TV stations.
After all, Genesys has a good relationship with the five major TV stations.
As long as Genesys doesn't make some small moves in secret, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's announcements on the five major TV stations will definitely surge a lot.
This is also very beneficial to his career development.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto also doesn't want to have a bad relationship with a bigwig in the entertainment industry like Janis, so the matter of cooperation is not unacceptable to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
On the other hand, for Janiss, there are two benefits.
One is that in the future, you can avoid the singing period of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the little king of the music world, so that its group will not become cannon fodder under the power of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
Second, in the future, you can borrow Kiyoshi Sakamoto's popularity and appeal to let its combination gain popularity.
After all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's current status in the music world is already the singer with the most market appeal since the decline of the record market.
If you can rub the popularity of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it will also be of great help to the record sales of Genesys' group.
Therefore, Kitagawa, who was very dissatisfied with the current development status of Arashi, thought of taking advantage of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's huge popularity and appeal to milk Arashi.
That's why we put forward such a proposal.
Speaking of Lan, it's really a handful of snot and tears.
The first debut single sold a total of 900,000 units, but in 1999, when millions of sales were everywhere and singers were rampant, the final sales were only ranked 23rd on the annual sales list.
Since then, Arashi's single sales have been declining in the context of the decline of the record market, either 100,000 or 200,000 at the beginning, miserable sales, and weak stamina, which also makes Janis feel speechless...
After all, over the years, I don't know how many resources have been invested in Lan.
Title variety shows, TV series, etc., are so many that the other group NES under Genesys is envious of it.
However, it's still useless, the sales of singles are still like that, only the first week can break out, except for a weekly crown, it is in the second week, it begins to slide down, and the difference between the final sales and the first week's sales is less than 100,000, you can imagine how insufficient Lan's stamina is.
In recent years, Arashi's single sales have not exceeded 500,000 copies...
The only one that exceeded 500,000 was a year and a half ago, with the help of this "east wind" in a head-to-head confrontation with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, he was able to reluctantly sell 500,000 sheets...
And that time, in the final analysis, it just relied on Kiyoshi Sakamoto's topicality and popularity to achieve such results.
This is also the reason why Kitagawa chose Arashi to work with Kiyoshi Sakamoto instead of Kat-Tun.
Kat-Tun, whose debut single exceeded one million, and the next few singles all exceeded hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, there is a precedent for rubbing the popularity of Sakamoto Kiyoshi and making the single sell well, and the old man Kitagawa, who eats the marrow and knows the taste, also wants to repeat his old tricks, and once again uses Sakamoto Kiyoshi to pull a handful of Arashi.
γγγ
Seeing that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was contemplating, Old Man Kitagawa also said.
"You don't have to reply so quickly, I'll ask someone to send this cooperation invitation to Sony, and after you think about it, just give me a reply, after all, it's very beneficial for both of us." β
Hearing the words of the old man Kitagawa, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also felt the need to go back and discuss it with the big guy Kitagawa.
So, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was ready to leave.
"Wait a minute, Lan is in the practice room, I'll have someone take you over, see you and then go." β
Suddenly, Kitagawa stopped Kiyoshi Sakamoto and made a proposal to let Kiyoshi Sakamoto go over and meet Arashi.
Sakamoto Kiyoshi is naturally indispensable.,Anyway,It's just a matter of seeing you below.,Say hello.γγγ
After leaving the president's office, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, led by a minister, came to Arashi's exclusive practice room and met Arashi Goko again.
The five sons, who were practicing, looked at him with a look of surprise when they saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto walking in, not knowing why he appeared here.
After the introduction of the minister next to him, Lan Wu knew that Sakamoto Kiyoshi was called over by the old man Kitagawa and played...
Before he had time to wait for them, he figured out the thoughts of the old man Kitagawa and the thoughts of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who left after a few polite words with them.
They didn't get any information from Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and after Sakamoto Kiyoshi left, Goko was also in the practice room and chatted about the sudden Sakamoto Kiyoshi.
However, no matter what they think, it is impossible to know that Sakamoto Kiyoshi's visit to Genesys this time is actually the first step in breaking the ice in the relationship between him and Genesys.
It is even more unlikely that the old man Kitagawa would make such a proposal for cooperation.
γγγγγγ
After returning to Sony, Kiyoshi Sakamoto told Naoki Kitagawa about this trip to Genesy.
And for Kitagawa's proposal, it also made Kitagawa Naoki feel very interested.
After a meeting, Sony's top management agreed that this was the best time to reconcile with Genesys, and that if they cooperated, the two rival companies could deepen their relationship with each other and raise a topic, so why not?
In the end, with Kiyoshi Sakamoto's consent, Sony reached an agreement with Genesys and decided to let Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Arashi collaborate on a special stage in the next SUPER LIVE.
After discussions between the two companies, the final stage for cooperation was that Kiyoshi Sakamoto wrote a song, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Arashi formed a limited group to sing the song on the stage of SUPER LIVE.
Even the name of the limited group was negotiated, and it was called "ARASHIYO"
That is, the romanization of Arashi "ARASHI" and the "YO" in the romanization "KIYO" after Sakamoto Kiyoshi's clear character are combined.
A very casual name ...
Such a name also makes Sakamoto Kiyoshi complain.
"With such a name, it really won't make the audience think of us as a funny group???"
The name is still secondary, the important thing is that Kiyoshi Sakamoto wants to write a song that is suitable for Arashi, and he has to follow the five of Lan together and dance together!
When he heard the news, he ran to the office of the big guy Beichuan with a shocked face and asked what was going on.
After all, he has never learned to dance, and he has no foundation at all.
However, the big guy Kitagawa just said to him with a smile on his face, "I think if you dance, it will definitely be very popular, so I took it upon myself and agreed to Dennis's request." β
"However, I don't have any dancing knowledge!"
"It's okay, just go and learn it, I believe in your learning ability, this little difficulty can't be difficult for you. β
In the end, Kiyoshi Sakamoto retreated under the expression of "I am very optimistic about you" on Naoki Kitagawa face.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who walked out of the president's office with a gloomy face, kept complaining in his heart about the president who "believed in himself too much".
"Your sister is still very popular, but it's still a little difficult... It's not that you have to learn, you say it easily... β
So, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who didn't have any dance foundation, began a hellish dance training.
As for the song, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also made it easy to take out the best song he had heard in his previous life, "Jun γγγγγ" (because of you).
Thanks to the improvement of his musical strength over the years, he has also become more proficient in copying the songs of his previous life.
After all, to write the songs you heard in your previous life and write them locally, you also need to have deep musical literacy and rich musical strength to do it.
It's not that if you take it out, you will take it out.
Sakamoto Kiyoshi's brain in his previous life,It's not a computer.,Won't record the score and lyrics of the song,Record every word in the brain.,Let him manipulate the computer like a computer.,If you want to pull the file out.,Just plug in a U disk and pull it out.γγγ
Although his brain is in this state now because of the ability to never forget, but this is the person he is after being reborn, not the one in his previous life...
So.
"Plagiarism is also a technical job!!"
