In addition to being a qualified idol, Kenji Kitagawa is also a well-deserved businessman, and his judgment of songs is different - can be sold or not. In fact, I have always agreed with his point of view, songs that sell well have their advantages no matter what, and songs that don't sell always have disadvantages of one kind or another. - "A Confession of a Waste, Teach You How to Become a Scumbag - Career" by Tian Licheng

When Nanxiang Wei walked out of the university, the entire campus was already dark at night and the lights were dim.

After getting the song he was satisfied with, he repeatedly invited Tian Licheng and the eldest lady to have dinner together to express his gratitude.

In the end, Lao Tian and the eldest lady, who couldn't resist Nanxiang's kindness, had to agree.

The three of them solved the problem directly in the Matsumoto Building in the Faculty of Engineering of Tokyo University. Don't underestimate this restaurant, the main restaurant is the first Western-style restaurant in Tokyo, and it was here that the governor of Toei Province hosted a dinner when a national leader visited Toei.

The three of them had a good chat about the current development of the music club. Nanxiang, who let go of his worries, was in a good mood, and drank a lot more.

A little drunk, he was a little drunk, and in a daze, he introduced a little bit of his work experience at Sony Music to the two juniors who were interested in entering the music scene.

He revealed a lot about the development prospects and problems of Nogizaka 46, the factional struggles within Sony, high-level secrets, and even the gossip lace in the entertainment industry, which also made Lao Tian and the eldest lady gain a lot, at least when they listened to it, "Ah! Oh? Hey? Ha! "The endless endlessly.

Early the next morning, Nanxiang couldn't wait to rush to the office, printed a few copies of the song score he got yesterday, sorted out the materials, and waited for the arrival of his boss.

When he saw Kenji Kitagawa walking into the office with bread and milk, he couldn't hold back his anxiety and quickly pushed the door open and followed in.

"Kitagawa P, found it! Got it! He waved the sheet music like an explorer returning from a treasure hunt.

"Don't worry, I've listened to a lot of so-called freelance musicians' songs in the past few days, and my ears are calloused, anyway, they're all unreliable guys, wait for me to eat breakfast first." As he spoke, Kitagawa Kenji slowly tore open the bread package and took a hard bite.

Those broken tunes are a waste of time, and if you can't find them, you won't look for them. It's a big deal to apologize to my father, at most I will be scolded, at most I will be beaten, what else can I do? He's already a little broken jar.

"It's really found! Reliable! Listen to it first! With that, Nanxiang didn't care whether Kitagawa agreed or not, and turned on the recorder on his own.

When the prelude sounded, Kitagawa Kenji was still absentmindedly eating a mouthful of bread and a mouthful of milk, but as the song progressed, he unconsciously felt as if he had been immobilized, and a few drops of unswallowed milk dripped from the corners of his mouth very uncompetitively.

When the first part of the romantic flight was over, he reacted, hurriedly pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth, and then motioned to Nanxiang to pause the recorder first.

He picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hey, I'm Beichuan, is Director Li Qian here?" Just arrived? Okay, let him come to my office right away. By the way, and Ozawa, let him come with him. ”

Li Qian is the music director of Sony Music, and he is responsible for the production of many songs every year, and is well-known in the industry.

Sei Ozawa is currently the teacher in charge of Nogizaka 46's vocal lessons, and of course he also tutors other singers, and both of them can be said to be senior experts behind Sony Music.

After listening to a song, Beichuan already felt that this song was beyond his imagination, and from his perspective as a businessman, there was only one word to describe it - it could be a big seller! He is now desperate to know what the professionals think.

Kitagawa picked up the half-eaten breakfast, suddenly felt tasteless, shook his head, and threw them directly into the trash.

He slowly leaned back in his chair, took out a pack of brand new Seven Stars from his desk, pulled out one, took out a zippo, lit the fire, and took a deep breath.

"Whew~~ I haven't smoked it for a long time, come one?" He picked up the cigarette case and shook it at Nanxiang.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Nango nodded, took one from the cigarette case, and fumbled around for a lighter.

"Use mine." As he spoke, Beichuan lit the fire with a "snap" and leaned over to light a cigarette for Nanxiang: he made a great contribution today, and he deserves to be his right-hand man.

"It's rude!" Nango smiled and nodded, holding his hands around the flames.

The two of them were in Beichuan's office like this.

Nanxiang has a feeling that it seems that the distance between him and his leader has narrowed a lot at the moment, because he has never seen the rich second generation smoking with others in the office, it should be said that Beichuan rarely smokes in the office.

"Nanxiang, I have been in the Dongying entertainment industry for more than ten years. From AKB, to NMB, to Nogizaka now, there are not a thousand songs that I have been exposed to, but there are always 500 songs, and there are very few songs that can touch my heart in any way. Kitagawa Kenji tapped the cigarette ash in his hand and said thoughtfully.

Nango nodded and didn't interject.

"After listening to this song, I really want to leave this mess behind now. Grab a bag and get on the plane to a place where no one can find me. Beichuan smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders again: "But you also know that this is impossible." ”

Nango nodded understandingly: "Boss, there will always be a chance." ”

"Well, I hope so." Beichuan took a deep puff of his cigarette: "Do our business, when others are busy, we are also busy; When others are resting, we are busier, and we don't know when it will be. ”

He shook his head self-deprecatingly, then continued, "Guess what's on my mind right now?" ”

"Is there a chance of winning the bid?" Nango asked cautiously, but thought to himself, "It's not like you really want to travel." ”

Kitagawa nodded and said, "There is a part." But the possibility of winning the bid,I don't think it's 80%,60% is about the same.,I'm thinking about it now.,Do you want to take out the "気づいたら片想い".,This one on the eighth single.。 As he spoke, he looked at Nango and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"IS IT DIRECTLY A TIE-UP SONG?" Nango was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Kenji Kitagawa to have such confidence in this song. (tie-up is a song that is used as an advertising song, TV series, movies, anime songs, fan group theme songs, conference songs and other publicity-related cooperation, as for whether it will lose money, I don't know if it will be effective if it is upside down)

Beichuan extinguished the half-smoked cigarette and stood up and looked out the window at the tall buildings: "Yes, intuition, the intuition of a businessman. I have a hunch that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if I miss it, I may not know that the next time I will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. “

Nango nodded, but did not speak. It is undoubtedly a huge adventure to replace the "気づいたら片想いい" with this "Romantic Flight", which everyone has a very good evaluation.

The creator of this song is an unknown college student, and the object he wants to replace is the already successful Yasushi Akimoto team!

This will not only disrupt all the previous plans of the operation, but even affect the center candidates that have been decided: they have already decided to let Nanase Nishino take on the responsibility of the center for the first time, but with a new song, is Nishino still suitable to be a C?

There was silence in the office, and Kitagawa closed his eyes, weighing the pros and cons of changing songs. Nango, on the other hand, continued to fight the cigarette without a puff, and he also needed some time to digest Kitagawa's bold idea.

At this moment, a middle-aged uncle who was a little bald and a little bald hurriedly broke into the office.

He was followed by a handsome man in his early thirties, with long flowing hair, and a bit of a prodigal son. After seeing Beichuan, he bowed slightly and followed in.

The middle-aged uncle sat down on the sofa as if he was at home, crossed Erlang's legs, and said loudly: "Qianji, is there anything wrong with your kid calling me early in the morning?" I still have a recording job today, but I don't have time to chat with you. ”
