Chapter 681: Purpose
Although he was a screenwriter before his rebirth, Ye Leiyang still has some understanding of Japan's cultural industry, Japan's cultural industry is very developed, in a sense, if it is not for the cultural heritage of China, it is too terrifying, Japan can be called the most developed country in Asia's cultural industry.

As for the Koreans, hehe, a nation that relies on illusory self-consolation all day long to cover up its inferiority complex in its bones is not qualified to talk about any culture.
Japan once introduced the Chinese "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", of course, it was the earliest version, not the strange version made by a bearded director, and at the end of each episode, words were used to introduce the origin of the props, introduce the historical figures and cultural customs at that time, and even poetry and songs.
Some people may think that they have low self-esteem, but in fact, they are just learning and envying the cultural heritage of China. Because of the turn of the world, Japan only made a variety of Three Kingdoms cultural products into China, and games such as the Three Kingdoms War swept the world.
Having said that, Japan's music industry is indeed well-developed, with a high degree of industrialization, and record sales are staggering.
But Ye Leiyang still doesn't understand, as for Universal Music, as for taking the initiative to find himself a Chinese person to buy songs.
"This year......" Yu Wanrou listened to Ye Leiyang's doubts, smiled and said: "Science and technology are developing, people's lifestyles are also changing, and people's concepts are constantly changing, so the general environment we live in is indeed accelerating towards a more open and casual direction." Although I don't know much about the Chinese music market, Universal feels that since you can write songs for European and American artists like Avril, there is no reason why you can't write songs for a Japanese star. ”
"What's more, now Universal has a great opportunity to push their own singers." Yu Wanrou paused and introduced the current situation to Ye Leiyang.
As one of the four major music record labels in Japan, Universal Music has not been a company that rests on its laurels. And in today's situation, if you want to make a breakthrough, you must go off the rails.
After all, speaking of which, among the four major music record companies in Japan, Ai Hui Records' own music talent reserve is too scary, giving people a feeling of having its own engine, although after last year's forced palace incident caused some problems within the company, but Matsuura Katsuto has the support of Ayumi Hamasaki and other diva singers, and his position is stable, and sooner or later he will make a comeback. And Sony Records is backed by its own powerful music equipment, which is like a mountain of gold on its back, so Sony is like a god who does not eat fireworks in the world and looks at everyone else coldly.
In this case, Warner and Universal are crumbling despite their fame, both are seeking change and innovation, Warner is constantly contacting Korean idol groups, and Universal is eyeing Europe and the United States.
Ye Leiyang listened quietly, but he laughed secretly in his heart, if he remembered correctly, by the end of this year, there should be another record company in Japan, called King Records. And the reason for their rise is simple, because King Records has discovered a group that is destined to become popular all over Asia and even the world in the future.
AKB48, a girl group that is still in its immature stage and has just been formed for a short time, has become a lifesaver for King Records, and after becoming popular in the future, King Records' status has caught up with the four major record companies.
Of course, Ye Leiyang won't tell Yu Wanrou this, it's useless to know some things yourself, it's not that you know that a certain treasure will become popular in the future, you must go to Hangzhou to find a certain ugly man surnamed Ma. Because every super-rich person is successful for reasons that you can't understand from the news alone.
"What do they mean, when will they negotiate?" Ye Leiyang asked Yu Wanrou the key to the matter, no matter how the intention to cooperate is expressed, negotiation is the real thing.
The work style of the Japanese is very interesting, even if it is a global large enterprise like the world to Japan, it has to change customs, Ye Leiyang has read a lot of books about Japanese enterprise management in his two lives, and the most profound feeling is actually only three, one is rigorous, one is the contract is fuzzy, and finally the so-called spinach style.
The first is very simple, Japanese companies, once everyone enters the work state, will be very tight, and even many companies even use school bells to start formal negotiations.
The second article is also very interesting, the Japanese contract is very vague, they see the contract more as a summary of negotiations, and generally rarely abide by the contract in its entirety, but they are also reluctant to go to court, because once there is a legal dispute, they generally regard it as a complete breakdown of the cooperative relationship, in fact, the total number of lawyers in Japan is about the same as that of a city in Los Angeles, which is expressly limited.
Therefore, compared to the vagueness of the contract text, long negotiations are much more serious, because they prefer to see the negotiation as a real occasion to solve the problem, and at the same time try to establish a cooperative relationship in the process, because in the business environment here, the relationship is larger than the text.
The spinach style is also interesting, and the so-called spinach refers to the pronunciation of the Japanese words report, connection, and consultation, in other words, communication. Between superiors and subordinates, between equals, and even between the negotiation partners to a certain extent, they will take the initiative to tell each other what they think, what they want to do, and what difficulties they encounter.
To be honest, Ye Leiyang actually appreciates their approach, and he feels that he can adopt the same method in his future business operations.
Of course, to have more Chinese characteristics, at least the first one, there is no need to follow suit, because in that case, it is easy to make the spirit of employees particularly nervous, in case something happens, Ye Leiyang does not want his company to become Foxconn's second.
Yu Wanrou laughed, she also knew that Ye Leiyang's impression of Japan was always not very good, although it was not an angry youth, but when Ye Leiyang was in school, he didn't say a lot of bad things about Japan.
"The sincerity over there is very strong, and I hope to be able to meet you in person." Yu Wanrou said to Ye Leiyang.
Ye Leiyang nodded: "It's okay to have an interview, but when is the specific time?" ”
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Wan said softly: "They hope that next week, you will be able to fly to Tokyo." ”
Ye Leiyang was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he sneer: "I'm going to Tokyo? Is this called sincerity? You reply to them, a song is a million dollars, and the singer must come to see me in person, otherwise, get out of the way! ”
ps: This chapter is not in good condition, the young master has a fever for a day, and he will go to the hospital in a while, and I will write it when I have time at night, and I won't have time if I don't have time. I'll try to break out as much as I can tomorrow. I'm sorry, but it's really because my situation is inconvenient, so I'm delaying everyone. (To be continued.) )
