"Is that appropriate? I just wanted to meet Mr. Akimoto. ”

Tian Licheng politely rejected Nanxiang's proposal to participate in the meeting.

As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you are not in charge.

He is not a musician under Sony, and he is not a related person of Nogizaka 46, so he has no reason to meddle in the new single.

What's more, Nogizaka's eighth single, Sony's use of songs composed by himself is already an unprecedented move.

You must know that the lyrics of the 48 and 46 series in the past were arranged by Yasu Akimoto.

The lyrics and music of "Romantic Flight" are all written by themselves, which can take up the lyricist's part.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he and Qiu Yuanyasu have a bit of a conflict of interests, although Qiu Yuankang doesn't mind, but now if he goes to get together again, he will inevitably be a little ignorant, and he can't be reasonable.

Nango smiled nonchalantly: "It was specially requested by Mr. Akimoto." It is necessary to listen to different opinions. If you have a better understanding of what young people think now, you should be a fan representative. ”

"But ......"

Seeing Tian Licheng's hesitation, Nanxiang simply put his arm around his shoulders and took him directly to the lounge, but he finally caught the topic in front of him.

There were only the two of them in the lounge, and Tian Licheng and Nanxiang chatted casually about some topics, but they were not too restrained.

The two have known each other for several years, and they had a lot of intersections some time ago, so they can be regarded as acquaintances.

After chatting for a while, Nanxiang's tone suddenly changed, and he said earnestly to Lao Tian: "Tian Sang, consider joining us, even if MDM has a good amount of credit just by relying on TT music, but it is always more advantageous to promote omni-channel, right?" ”

"Why did you suddenly start soliciting me again? I didn't think about selling myself to a record company. Tian Licheng didn't speak, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Seeing that Tian Licheng didn't speak, Nanxiang thought that he was moved by his own words, so he struck while the iron was hot, and then said: "Even if you don't want to release CDs, it doesn't matter, if you don't want to release CDs, don't talk about RECOCHOKU and ITUNES, Sony still has some TV station resources, and it's not a bad thing to publicize more, right?" ”

Tian Licheng was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "What the predecessor said makes sense, let me think about it again." ”

Seeing that Tian Licheng refused to give him the letter, Nanxiang threw out the big move prepared in advance: "We will have a big move next year!" If you're at Sony, it's good for both parties. ”

Big moves?

Sony Music's big move? Next year?

It's not like you're going to do 46, right? Didn't that just come out in 2016?

"Wait! It seems that Tsukizaka did start preparing in 2015! ”

He had a vague impression in his mind that at the 3rd anniversary concert of Nogizaka 46's debut held at Seibu Dome in February 2015, it seemed that Sony had announced the fundraising plan for the first phase of Nogizaka 46's new project members.

As the second installment of the Sakamichi series, the group's name was finally confirmed as "欅saka 46", and it was called the green group by fans because the official color was green.

"Is your big move a sister group like AKBGROUP?" Tian Licheng half-jokingly probed.

Nanxiang looked up and down Lao Tian for a while as if he was looking at a national treasure, and after half a day, he held back a sentence: "God!" ”

"Isn't it! Is it really a green group? Started preparing so early? ”

Tian Licheng's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked: "Now that the momentum of Nogizaka 46 has just started, if the sister group is opened so early, will it share their resources?" I'm afraid the members will also be dissatisfied, right? ”

Nanxiang beckoned to Tian Licheng and motioned for him to come over.

"I'll tell you the truth, we don't actually get much CD benefit from Nogizaka 46."

"Won't it?" Tian Licheng frowned, Nogizaka contributed the most operating income to Sony Music every year after 46 days, how could there be no benefits?

"You may not know that the rights to Nogizaka 46's songs are all North River's, and SONY is just a record company that gets sales revenue, and we can only get a part of it."

"However, isn't the legal representative of Beihe? He's your CEO's son. ”

"But that's also an affiliate of AKS, and if Nogizaka 46 disbands one day, the copyright and SONY have nothing to do with it.

Besides, although the brokerage contract of the Nogizaka members is affiliated with the Nogizaka 46 contract company, in fact, the employees of this club are all transferred from AKS. ”

Tian Licheng held his cheeks and said: "Nogizaka 46 actually doesn't mean that Sony is his daughter?" ”

Nango nodded: "So to speak." The most powerful in the music industry is ultimately the party that owns the copyright of the song. ”

He pointed to the ceiling: "The harder we push Nogizaka 46, it is equivalent to working for AKS in disguise, and the boss is not happy." What's more, now AKS has gradually escaped from Akimoto-sensei's control. ”

"So start a new group, get rid of the influence of AKS, and cooperate directly with Mr. Akimoto?"

"Yes, the rights to the new group, the sale of records, most of the benefits go to SONY." Nango nodded, agreeing with Lao Tian's statement.

"I'm a fan of Nogizaka 46......"

Tian Licheng replied with a wry smile.

He really likes Nanase Nishino, and he also hopes to go on with the girl.

Plus my own appreciation, and now ambiguous Nanami Hashimoto.

Aiwu and Wu, he is now a fan of Naituan, and even added a sentence "NOGIZAKA 46 support" to his Weibo profile.

As a fan, of course, Lao Tian hopes that the operation will pile up all the good resources in the Nogizaka place, but from Sony's point of view, it is a normal choice to start from scratch, and the adopted daughter is not as good as the own daughter......

Nango's words continued: "If a new group is formed, the main voice will be in our place. If Tian Sang is in Sony, you compose the music, Mr. Akimoto writes the lyrics, the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the buildings near the water get the moon first. ”

"Huh~~~ Let me think about it again, it's not a trivial matter." Tian Licheng leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

Nanxiang's words are a bit informative: Green group, this temptation is really ......

In 2016, not to mention the Red and White Song Club, the sales of the fourth single exceeded 750,000 copies, and the album was sold and Yasu Akimoto personally stood on the platform.

Sony's own daughter didn't make her debut long after her debut, and many fans of the purple group turned green in minutes.

If you are under Sony, with the music in your hand, maybe you can really get involved, it is the Emperor of the Draw and her friends.

Seeing Tian Licheng's thoughtful appearance, Nanxiang stopped talking.

Today he has laid out Sony's future plans and plates, and he believes that this smart junior will make a wise choice.

It didn't take long for Beichuan to break the peace in the lounge with a call.

"Akimoto-sensei and Muramatsu-san have arrived, let's go."
