Chapter 227: Who's the Good Guy
With Mai Kuraki's reconciliation, the relationship between Choi Jun-seok and Nagato, who represents NorthernMusic, has eased a lot. In the end, Choi Jun-seok represented by a song "Grandfather" in Korean and a song "Baby" in English, showing his pure voice and steady singing skills, as well as his mastery of two musical styles of ballad and pop.
After finishing the audition, Nagato Daiyuki smiled at Choi Jun-seok, who walked out of the recording studio, "Mr. Choi Jun-seok's strength really surprised me, the title of lyrical king is indeed worthy of its name~"
"Mr. Nagado has won the award~" Choi Jun-seok neither denied nor was complacent, but just smiled faintly. And Nagato didn't care about it, and didn't say anything more, but looking at his appearance, it was obvious that this audition had satisfied him.
Now that I have passed the audition, things are much easier after that.
After thanking Mai Kuraki, Choi Jun-seok and Nagato Daiyuki returned to the office again. The next step is to discuss possible collaborations, during which there is a lot of bargaining. But these don't need Cui Junxi to ask in person, Wei Sonam will handle a qiē related interests on his behalf, and NorthernMusic naturally has special personnel to talk to Wei Sonan, and there is no need for Nagato Daiyuki to personally ask about these red tapes.
Because the things to be confirmed in the cooperation between the two companies cannot be negotiated in a day or two, various detailed rights and obligations treaties must be negotiated and confirmed one by one, so as not to have any crooked thoughts on both sides at that time. It's not impossible, although Nagado values Choi Joon-seok's potential. But business is business, and the contract is the most powerful guarantee for the interests of both parties, and Choi Jun-seok agrees with this.
However, because Choi Jun-seok is in a bit of a hurry to come to Japan this time, he still has a little doubt, and NorthernMusic is not fully prepared, so this trip to Japan is just a first attempt by the two sides, and will not immediately carry out all-round cooperation.
Therefore, when Choi Jun-seok finished the audition, he had a brief but practical exchange with Daiyuki Nagato. During this time, I also went out to have a Japanese lunch with Nagato. Then he took his leave to Nagato.
"I'm sorry, because I still have a trip in Korea, so I have to go back first, and I will ask my agent and the executive director of our company. Mr. Wesonam is the ...... of the talks with you on my behalf," Choi Jun-seok stood up. Said slightly apologetically.
"It's okay, Mr. Choi Jun-seok......" Nagato Daiyuki also stood up. He glanced at Wei Sonam, who had been explaining various issues of cooperation between the two sides to Choi Jun Seok just now, and smiled, "I believe we will get along with Mr. Wei Sonam happily......"
Wesonam didn't speak. Just humbly bowed his head. And Choi Jun-seok also politely said again, "I'm really sorry~"
Nagato just smiled and stretched out his right hand, Cui Junxi shook it politely, Nagato Dayuki shook his hand with a smile on his face, and said in a sincere tone, "I hope that next time we meet, we are already partners... I really like Mr. Choi Jun-seok's calmness..."
"Hehe~ I also admire Mr. Nagato's vision..."Looking at Nagato's sincere appearance, Choi Jun-seok hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "Because the brilliance of Bz's predecessors in Being.Inc. makes me envious of the juniors...... This sentence is obviously Choi Jun-seok's sincere words, because his eyes are very sincere.
BZ is a Japanese music group composed of Takahiro Matsumoto and Hiroshi Inaba, and is also the representative of Japan's highest artists.
Since its birth in 1988, Bz has released 46 number one singles and 26 number one albums, and the total sales of total albums have exceeded 80 million copies, ranking 64th among the best-selling artists in the world and first among the best-selling artists in Asia. At the same time, it is also the highest result since the establishment of the Oricon official list in Japan.
On November 19, 2007, Bz was selected to join RockWalk, becoming the only Asian artist to receive this honor.
And this achievement, not to mention Choi Jun-seok, even if you look at the entire Korean music industry, you can't find anyone who can match it. Even Seo Tae-ji, the best in the history of Korean songs, and his children and H.O.T. can only bow down in the face of Bz's ungodly sales of more than 80 million.
And such a bewitching music group is an artist group under Being.Inc. In addition, Being.Inc. also has albums like ZARD and TUBE, which have a total sales of more than 17 million or even more than 20 million singles, and SOLO divas like Mai Kuraki, whose albums and singles have sold more than 10 million.
Therefore, Being.Inc. at its peak was not inferior to super firm companies such as Ai Hui and Jakes. It's just that with the wilting of the global record industry, the passing of the years of Bz, ZARD, and TUBE members, and the rise of entertainment giants such as Ai Hui and Jakes, Being.Inc. has slowly declined. But even so, it can't hide his vision and ability to create a glorious era.
And Cui Junxi's praise did scratch the itch of Nagato Daiyuki, looking at his clear and peaceful eyes without a trace of wavering, Nagato Daiyuki smiled with relief, without the old scheming just now, but smiled like a normal old man, "Hehe, these are all things in the past, and I'm just an old man with a sixtieth armor..."
Looking at his melancholy look, Cui Junxi suddenly said a word in Chinese, "Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms era of China has a famous saying that Lao Ji Fu is determined to be a thousand miles, I think Mr. Nagado should have heard it..."
Cui Junxi's correct and round Chinese surprised Nagato Daiyuki, and he also stammered in Chinese, "Mr. Cui Junxi has actually read "Three Kingdoms", and he speaks Chinese so well?" But compared with Cui Junxi's Chinese with a straight and round tone, he is a little rusty and unnatural.
However, Choi Jun-seok found a glimmer of light in his cloudy eyes, although he hid it well. But Choi Joon-seok still noticed.
Therefore, Cui Junxi just smiled innocently, "Hehe~ It's just interest..."
Choi Jun-seok may not have the ability to penetrate people's hearts, but as a person who grew up on a TV station, he has his own way to distinguish between the truth and falsehood of people's hearts.
Because Nagato Daiyuki actually knew that the phrase "Lao Ji Fu is determined to be a thousand miles away" came from "Three Kingdoms", and he started NorthernMusic after the decline of Being.Inc., it can be seen that he is not just an 'old man' on the verge of twilight as he himself said, but it can be seen from the fact that he wants to sign Choi Jun-seok. He's still the same ambitious entertainment giant who created an entertainment dynasty!
But. This is not a bad thing for Choi Jun-seok, anyway, his base camp is not in Japan, as long as his choice is respected, Choi Jun-seok is in charge of how dark and treacherous Changdo Dayuki is. The big deal is to reduce the proportion of Japan. Besides, Choi Jun-seok doesn't necessarily have to sign with NorthernMusic.
So. Cui Junxi didn't break his careful thoughts, but just said something vague and ambiguous, letting Changhu know that he was not a white who didn't understand anything. Don't always try to play tricks on him.
……
Regardless of how surprised and restless Choto Daiyuki was before Cui Junxi's farewell, Cui Junxi, who left NorthernMusic, lazily sat in the comfortable seat of the black Honda sedan prepared by Kobayashi for Jun, looking at the people and things flashing outside the window, and a faint smile couldn't help but appear at the corners of his mouth, Old fox, I'll let you pretend to be ......
However, Choi Jun-seok quickly put those unappetizing disturbances behind him, turned to Wei Sonam and asked, "By the way, Brother (^_^) Wei, have you booked the return ticket?"
"Well, I asked Lin Mu to book a ticket for 8 o'clock in the evening..."Wei Sonan raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "It's only 14:30, and there is still time to ......"
Hearing that Cui Junxi couldn't answer, Yin Xueyue in the front seat turned around excitedly and said, "Then let's go to Tokyo, there are still a few hours anyway... There are many interesting places in Tokyo, such as Ginza, Shinjuku, and Shibuya...... There are countless clothes, jewelry, and small items to make people shop...... There are also all kinds of snacks, such as klip, elephant ear, bomb roast, tofu wish, snow lady, Sensoji humanoid roast, ......" Speaking of this, she was even more excited, turned her body and lay on the seat, her eyes lit up, "So, Junxi, let's go shopping~"
"......"*2, the speechless Choi Jun-seok and Wei Sonan. And Kobayashi Weichun, who was driving, twitched the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
Seeing that Cui Junxi didn't answer, Yin Xueyue pouted, blinked, and whispered in a creepy voice, "It's good, it's good~"
"Haha..." ^_^ Kobayashi Weichun finally couldn't help laughing.
Looking at this sister who didn't know what the shame was, Cui Junxi covered his forehead helplessly, and said in a lamented voice, "Sister~"
Yin Xueyue then remembered that this was not usual, not in front of her own people, and there was an 'outsider' in the car, so two blushes flew on her slightly baby fat little face, and she sat back in her seat embarrassedly, lowered her head with a blush, and excused herself, "People just haven't been to Japan for a long time..."
"Haha..."*2, Wei Sonam and Kobayashi laughed for Jun.
Looking at her embarrassed appearance that she couldn't wait to bury her head in the two saintess peaks in her chest, Cui Junxi couldn't help but shake her head and sigh with a smile, "You, you~"
"Okay, okay..."Wei Sonan laughed and said, "It's not impossible to really go shopping, but you have to ask Lin Mu to follow ......"
"Brother~" Choi Jun-seok looked at him in surprise. And Yin Xueyue, who lowered her head, although she didn't raise her head, put her ears up high.
Wei Sonan looked at someone who was eager to turn into a rabbit with a funny look, and said with a smile, "Anyway, it's still too late, and it's not like in South Korea here, so it's estimated that there aren't many people who can recognize you, so it's better to have fun..."
"Great, Nan OPPA, I knew you were a good person~" Okay, Yin Xueyue, who finally heard that she could go to play, excitedly sent a good person card to Wei Sonan.
The corners of the "......" mouth twitched over Wesonan.
"Haha..."^_^*2
