Chapter 14: Shocking the Wa Kingdom (2)
Less than half an hour after putting down the phone, Takekawa received a call from the community security guard, informing him that Nakajima was visiting. After a while, there was a knock at the door, and Takekawa opened the door and saw Yoko Nakajima and her assistant Tamako Ono.
"Where's the song score?" After the brief greeting, Yoko Nakajima hurriedly asked. Obviously, the success of the last time made her expect more from Chen Tianliao's songs.
Takekawa took out the song sheet: "It's all here, you see." â
Yoko Nakajima looked at the song score, and there was indeed an obvious mark of Chen Tianliao on it - several versions of each song were arranged.
"I think those two songs with snow are suitable for you to sing. Takekawa said.
Nakajima hummed the sheet music earnestly. Takekawa and Ono sat quietly drinking coffee and didn't bother her.
After a long time, Nakajima put down the song sheet and said, "I want "Snow Flower", you can make a price." â
Takekawa smiled and said, "I also think this song suits you very well." â
Nakajima looked at Takekawa's eyes seriously and said with a smile: "Okay, that's it." The other songs are also very good, I can't imagine that such a good song was written by an elementary school student!"
Takekawa agreed: "I can't imagine it. But if it wasn't written by Liao Jiang, I can't think of anyone who has the ability to write it for him. There will be no Huaguo, and there may be one in Waguo, but with so many styles, it is estimated that a team of famous songwriters will need to ghostwrite for him. â
Nakajima smiled: "Those artists don't have the time to write for a little kid." â
Takekawa nodded and said, "That's right." Maybe there are really natural saints, and Liao sauce is one of them. â
Nakajima said: "Yes, next time Liao sauce has a new work, be sure to tell me as soon as possible, please." â
Takekawa said: "I want to too, but Liao Chan gives me a different style every time, and it's hard to say if there is a song that suits you at that time." â
Nakajima said: "Then can you ask Liao-chan to help me create an album? Just like he did for the Luna group? If nothing else, two more works like "Snow Flower" will make my acting career have no regrets!"
Takekawa said, "Then I'll talk to him the next time I contact Liao-chan." For the other four songs, can you help me find the right singer?"
Nakajima said: "I know that Matsuo Kotone is looking for a title song for her album, I have heard her album, and this song "Remnant Snow" is very suitable for her style, and it also fits the style of her album, so you can check it out with her." â
"Ah, really, thank you Yoko. Takekawa said.
That night, Takekawa spoke with Chen Tianliao on the phone, informed him of the progress of the work, and conveyed Yoko Nakajima's request. After Chen Tianliao put down the phone, he began to think about it seriously.
From submitting posts everywhere to having celebrities ask for songs, it's definitely a huge progress. And Yoko Nakajima is different from the little singers who asked him to sing before, she is one of the most popular singers in the country at present, and if she can tailor a popular album for her, it will be better than creating a hundred albums for Luna. And it also has a certain alleviating effect on his current lack of money.
As for songs, Chen Tianliao is not lacking. Since she chose another Nakajima song in her previous life, Mika Nakajima, Chen Tianliao didn't mind taking Mika Nakajima's collection as Yoko Nakajima's album. Of course, those songs that Mika Nakajima has too much personal color are not suitable for Yoko Nakajima.
As soon as he said it, Chen Tianliao spent a week carefully compiling a collection of selected songs by Mika Nakajima, including "Sakura Dance (When the Cherry Blossoms Dance)", "Misty Moon Night ~ Prayer (Moonlit Night~Prayer)", "Find The Way", "Will", "A Song For The Wish (Song for Wishes)" and other well-known songs from his previous life.
"It's definitely a luxurious feast!" Chen Tianliao said. In her previous life, although Mika Nakajima was one of the top singers in the Japanese country, she was always only one step away from reaching the top, and was successively suppressed by Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro, etc., and even the short-lived Koda Laiwei once suppressed her, making her the second and third of the millennium. But the quality of the songs she sings is absolutely top-notch. If her singing ability was a little better, if she wasn't distracted to be an actress, her achievements would be even higher.
"It's a pity that "åãæŧãŪããĻæãĢããŪãŊ (I once thought about a hundred.,This is the official translation name.,In fact, when it comes to the translation name.,The fan-ridiculed "The old lady wants to die" may be more suitable)" can't be put in. Chen Tianliao sighed.
This song was very highly rated by Mika Nakajima fans in the previous life, uh, that's right, this is also the original song of the theme song of the movie "BJ Falls in Love with Seattle 2". The lyrics of the Chinese version are only slightly deleted and modified from the lyrics of the original song. It's just that the Chinese version can't sing the taste of the original. In 2010, Mika Nakajima couldn't speak because of the impact of ear tube disease, and once faced the threat of ending her beloved acting career. In the years before and after, her acting career declined sharply, and her life fell into the pain of failure. But she eventually survived. This song, which is full of struggle, despair, and the expression of overcoming inner fear and helplessness, has captivated countless people who have had rich life experiences after Mika Nakashima explained it with her own life experience. Including Chen Tianliao. But because the personal color is too strong, Chen TianLN is willing to bury it deep in his personal memory. This is a song that belongs only to that singer.
When Yoko Nakajima finished reading these songs at Takekawa's house, she was speechless for a while.
"Yoko, these songs are good, aren't they?" asked Takekawa.
"It's great, but it's too complicated, isn't it? The only thing in common is that they are all suitable for female singers. Nakajima smiled bitterly.
"Another thing in common is that the lyrics and music are very good. Takekawa added, "They all have the strength to impact the public trust list." â
Yoko Nakajima nodded: "Well, I don't dare to say if I take it out one by one, but as an album, I think it should be okay to sell three million copies." â
Zhuchuan smiled: "If you say so, aren't you afraid that I will sit on the ground and raise the price?"
Nakajima smiled: "Miss Takekawa, will you be able to value this money?"
Takekawa waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about my family." I said that if I don't rely on my family, I won't rely on me anymore. I want to quit my job now and follow Liao Jiang to work full-time. At his creative pace, even if I don't quit my current job, I guess I won't be able to be busy next year. â
Nakajima nodded: "That's a must." The speed at which he created was astonishing. And I don't believe he could write these songs, how old is he? I heard he's a fourth-grader?"
Takekawa smiled bitterly, "I don't believe it either, but no matter what, I can't find anyone who can write these songs for him." â
Nakajima said: "Then don't be entangled, whether he wrote it or not, anyway, I want to get the first song of these songs." For the next half a year, I had to be busy recording songs and shooting music videos. â
Takekawa smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for good news." The first single written by Liao Jiang this year will be released in a few days, and it is "Sekihaku Declaration" sung by Heihiko Okubo. I'm looking forward to the leaderboard. â
Nakajima's face became a little weird: "Truth will like that song too?"
Takekawa smiled elegantly, "Just because I like to be a strong woman doesn't mean I'll hate these songs." As long as you don't speak to me in that tone. I'm still very curious about the performance of this song. â
Takekawa's curiosity soon bore fruit. After the release of the "Guanbai Declaration", although it suffered a lot of criticism, it still sold 700,000 copies smoothly in the first month, and the final sales of more than one million are just around the corner.
Next, Luna's single "åãŪæįī (My Letter)" also sold more than 500,000 in the first month. This song is a famous masterpiece of the ZONE band in the previous life, and the more popular "Secret Base~åããããããŪ~(Secret Base ~ All you gave me~, because it made the theme song of a certain cartoon, it was called "Unheard Flower Name" by fans) are the two best songs of the ZONE band. This is already a very rare achievement for a girl band.
Next up was Matsuo Kotone's "ãŠããéŠ (Remnant Snow)", which sold more than 800,000 in the first month. Matsuo's performance also made her a call to be selected for this year's WHK Red and White Song Competition.
Next, the Flying Dragons' "One Love" and Maeda Hiroshi's "Yuyaki (Sunset Song)" also achieved good results. And these songs were all selected as advertising songs, which made Chen Tianliao make a lot of money.
When the summer vacation was approaching, as soon as Nakajima's "Snow ãŪčŊ" came out, the entire Japanese music scene was shocked. The best song of the year is already undisputed.
At this time, Chen Tianliao received an invitation letter from WHK, inviting him to participate in the show at WHK. At the same time, he was also allowed to bring four people with him to visit the Wa Kingdom. This invitation letter was brought by Hiroshi Kaneshiro, the representative of the Japanese state in Beijing. Kaneshiro is a surname of Wakoku, the famous movie star Takeshi Kaneshiro in the previous life (his father is from Wakoku, and his mother is from Taboshima), as well as the KIRORO group whose songs are very popular in China (Liu Ruoying's "Love You Very Much", "Later", "Harvest", Zhang Yuhua's "Forgiveness" and other original songs) Kaneshiro Aya Nai are all surnames.
Chen Tianliao gladly accepted the invitation. He first said to his family: "Grandpa, grandma, mother, sister-in-law, I received an invitation from WHK, the largest TV station in the country, and I can go to the country for free for a week after the summer vacation, and you can bring four people, so you can accompany me for a walk." â
Chen Aiguo said: "Don't go, the country of little devils, I don't want to go!"
Li Ximei said: "It's better for you young people to go for a walk." I still have to go to work. â
The old couple are both extremely disgusted with the Japanese State because of historical reasons, and Chen Tianliao is not reluctant.
Chen Mei twisted Chen Tianliao's ears and said angrily: "I just got a job after graduation, and you said that you have the opportunity to go to the Japanese country for free." You're trying to covet me, aren't you?"
Chen Tianliao made a bitter gourd face and said: "How dare you, my sister-in-law spares my life, this is a temporary invitation from other people's TV stations, and I can't order them, right?
Chen Mei turned his anger into joy and said, "Even if you kid has a conscience, I'll make a list for you when I go back." â
As soon as the words fell, Chen Mei's ears were grabbed by Li Ximei: "I said Xiaomei, you have a chance, knock on your nephew's bamboo bar, and you don't blush?!"
Chen Mei bared his teeth and said, "It hurts, Mom, you light, I'm not joking." â
Chen Tianliao said: "Grandma, don't blame my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is your daughter, and she is responsible for honoring you. I'm a junior, and I honor everyone!"
Li Ximei smiled at this time: "Well, it's still my grandson who has a future!" As she spoke, she let go of Chen Mei.
Chen Mei helplessly touched the reddened earlobe, and muttered something vaguely in his mouth.
Chen Tianliao ignored her, turned to Su Yuejiang and said, "Mom, you are also on summer vacation, can you accompany me?"
Su Yuejiang smiled and touched his son's head and said, "Of course." I'll go with you! There are three other people, who are you going to take with you?"
Chen Tianliao naturally had an idea. He first called Xu Wenjing and said, "Mr. Xu, I received an invitation from WHK TV station to visit the country, you can bring three people, can you accompany me?"
Xu Wenjing smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiao Liao, thank you for still thinking about the teacher." But the teacher just found out that there is a baby yesterday, so I can't accompany you!"
Chen Tianliao said in surprise: "That's great, I have a little junior brother or a little junior sister." Congratulations to the teacher!"
The two continued to greet each other for a while, and Chen Tianliao hung up the phone.
Next was Huang Yi, Huang Yi was very happy and happily agreed to Chen Tianliao's request.
The third candidate is Song Shiqing. This time, Chen Tianliao came to the door in person. After seeing the new pregnant woman Xu Wenjing, Chen Tianliao came to Song's house and told Song Xianfeng what he meant. Song Xianfeng heard that Su Yuejiang and Huang Yi, two elders who were teachers, were accompanied, and he readily agreed.
For the last spot, Chen Tianliao decided to find someone.
