Shimizu Tomoshi also led the way in front, and the group walked towards the arranged venue. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Shanhe smiled: "Minister Qingshui, the timing of your coming is very clever. ”

Shimizu Tomoya was also in his heart, he watched this farce upstairs from beginning to end, and did not come forward until the end, could it be that Minister Gotomoto's true intentions were seen through by the other party?

He laughed dryly: "Teacher, you are laughing." ”

Fortunately, Li Shanhe had no intention of pursuing more, and turned to Mr. Matsumoto on the side:

"Mr. Matsumoto, why are you here? You haven't come to work these days, and Hanako and they all miss you a little. ”

Mr. Matsumoto no longer looks like a homeless man, shaved his beard, put on a suit, and with that weathered face, he looks like a middle-aged uncle with a small fortune.

He bowed respectfully: "Thanks to you, Director, Sony Records gave me a job as a judge, and gave me a small apartment to rent, and with an address, I can apply for social security." ”

"That's what you deserve." Li Shanhe shook his head, "You sing really well." "The Sound of Silence" would not have that flavor if I sang it alone. ”

"I've always remembered your words back then, as long as you work hard, there will be a turnaround!" Mr. Matsumoto said loudly, "No matter what, Matsumoto will always remember your kindness!" ”

Li Shanhe shrugged, turned his head and said to Shimizu Tomoya: "You have a heart." ”

Tomoya Shimizu smiled modestly: "This is the insignificant sincerity of our Sony. The Silent Duo is revived, which is what many fans want to see. ”

Li Shanhe could easily guess Sony's idea, which was nothing more than to take advantage of their popular fame to bring both of them under their umbrella and launch the first chapter record. This can save a lot of publicity costs.

However, it was destined to disappoint them. Li Shanhe's songs are very numerous, "The Sound of Silence", which is just a casual move.

There are too many songs that can be regarded as originals, and who wants to cover a song written by someone else!

The group soon arrived at the competition venue, where Sony held a new staff meeting, which could only accommodate a few hundred people, but it was enough to accommodate the rock singers.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the venue, a red figure ran over.

"Brother!" Sookmi threw herself into his arms, giggling, and reaching out for a hug.

Li Shanhe still remembers this cute little girl, compared with the bear child apricot, this is simply a cute little angel in front of him.

He picked up the little girl and pressed her little nose: "Is Shumei obedient?" ”

"Sookmi has always been very well-behaved. Dad tells Sook-mi that if it weren't for her brother, So-mi would be going to heaven. Shumi hugged his face and kissed him gently, "This is a thank you gift to my brother." ”

Li Shanhe was stunned, and then laughed.

The most is that the true love can't be kept, and it always wins the hearts of the people, but I didn't expect to harvest a girl's fragrant kiss here. Compared with the gratitude of the middle-aged uncle, it is still the most real thanks of little Lori!

At this time, a middle-aged man walked around from the judges' seat and stretched out his hand to him:

"Hello, I'm the head of Sony Records, Kazuma Goto, and I'm glad to be working with you this time."

"Hello." Li Shanhe put down Shumei and shook hands with the other party.

Minister Goto pulled out the chairs near the judges' bench and invited them to sit down, and then said impatiently, "The competition is about to start, please let me get straight to the point." Shimizu and you have discussed our overseas expansion plans, right? ”

"I've heard a little."

"With all due respect, I listened to your "Sound of Silence", although it is very powerful, but 500 million is really an exaggerated number. We were going to sign the Beatles, but because of Shimizu's praise, we decided to refer to your contract. ”

Is that so?

Li Shanhe glanced at Shimizu Tomoya, who was silent next to him, and said:

"And what do you mean?"

"I'll just say it, can you sing a song in a little bit of a competition?"

Li Shanhe smiled, did not refuse, did not agree, but knocked his index finger on the arm of the chair and said:

"If I open my mouth, no one else will have a chance to win. It's so unfair to others who have worked so hard. ”

The career route he planned for himself has been basically determined. Gentle songs like "The Sound of Silence" will be sung as little as possible in the future, and more intense rock will be chosen. Compared with the psychedelic rock that is now played in the Japanese music industry, it is simply a merciless beating.

Although his words were flat, everyone felt that there was a strong confidence in them.

This domineering leak detection sentence shocked Minister Goto Moto, I'm just polite, you're too immodest! No matter how strong you are, can you still be stronger than everyone else? Although the others can't sing well, your "Silent Voice" doesn't crush them!

He frowned, and said:

"Teacher, I've been looking forward to your singing for a long time. The better you sing, the more we think of you. Of course, the signing fee will also be higher. ”

The implication is that if you don't sing well, the signing fee will naturally decrease.

Li Shanhe touched his chin: "That's not good, I'm actually not short of money." If it's 10 million, it's actually okay. ”

Is he short of money? Of course not! No one is short of money. However, negotiation is to fight in the ring, you can't let others know your details, the more you lack something, the more you have to hold it tightly so that others can't find out.

After three and two shirks, Minister Goto is even more sure that the other party is deliberately making excuses.

This signing determines the amount of resources invested by the company, and it is extremely risky to sign a newcomer at a high price. It would have been sensational to throw all the funds for the development of the American branch to a rookie singer.

Once this kind of gamble fails, he can't imagine the end.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help lowering his evaluation of Li Shanhe: "That's it, as long as you open your mouth, the teacher will start with a contract of three million, and there will be no cap, what do you think?" ”

The psychological price level was suddenly reduced from 10 million to 3 million. It's a two-thirds of the way down. Obviously not optimistic about him anymore.

Li Shanhe paid attention to the other half of the sentence: "Is there a cap? Aren't you afraid of huge losses? ”

Minister Goto waved his hand: "Don't worry, Sony is rich!" The stronger you are, the happier I am. Sony is not short of money, what is lacking is real talent! ”

Just waiting for your words!

"Okay, then I'll just reluctantly sing a song." "However, I need a band to help me, and I can't do everything alone," he laughs. ”

"Then please. Shimizu will help you arrange the relevant matters, and I will wait for your good news in the future. ”

Minister Goto did not leave directly, but walked to a small lounge next to the venue and waited. A moment later, Tomoya Shimizu followed.

"Minister Headquarters, did you have any orders when you hinted at me coming over just now?"

"This singer may not be very reliable."

"Huh? Hasn't the teacher always been very humble? Occasionally a little domineering, that's what a rock singer should be, right? ”

Minister Goto shook his head: "I asked you to come here to say that whatever the other party wants, you will meet all of them." In this way, when he signs the contract, he will not make excuses and throw the problem at us. ”

Shimizu Tomoya said suspiciously: "The teacher is not that kind of person, right?" ”

"Hmph, if you open your mouth and ask for 500 million, is it still a humble person?" Minister Goto waved his hand, "That's it, don't arouse the suspicion of the other party." If there is any change, report it to me immediately. ”

Tomoya Shimizu originally wanted to find a mature band that he had signed on, but suddenly changed his mind. When he returned to the jury again, he had an extra list in his hand:

"Teacher, this list is arranged according to the bands in the preliminary round, and the later the team, the more powerful it is. Teacher, who would you like to choose as a helper? ”

Since Minister Goto has told him so, it's better to let the teacher choose for himself!

Li Shanhe quickly found what he was looking for on the list, only to see that the name of Ogawa Masayoshi was impressive, and someone blacked it out with a pen.

He thought for a moment and asked, "This Les Rallizes Dénudés band...... Is it very powerful? ”

The LRD band is the band where Masayoshi Ogawa is the lead singer.

"Yes, if you just look at the level of music, it is the team with the best championships." Shimizu Tomoya hurriedly said, "If you are not satisfied, I will cross out their qualifications." ”

"No, I'm not narrow-minded enough to sit down. I just didn't expect to see an acquaintance. "He's referring to Taro Nakajima, this kid is so strong.

Li Shanhe took the pen and stroked it, "Adjust the order of appearances, so that's fine." ”

Shimizu Tomoya was stunned: "Huh? DoubleGirls put the finale? Which team did you choose? ”

He has a headache, this female high school band, the level is really bad. The tall girl was conspicuously negligent in training; A short girl who struggles to even play basic chords. Obviously, it's a ticket.

"Teacher, you better change it, find any band here, it's all stronger than them. This is related to your hundreds of millions of signing money! He said with a bitter face.

"It's okay, that Erika girl still has a nice voice." Li Shanhe smiled, but didn't explain much.

Tomoya Shimizu agreed on the surface, but in his heart he decided that he would discuss with the other two judges in a while, and as long as the songs of the DoubleGirls band were not too bad, they would be the champions.

It's just that......

These two girls are so can't hold up the wall!

Is there any magic that can make a big difference in a few minutes?

And Minister Gotomoto, who was in the lounge, soon got the same news.

He sneered, and as expected, he almost chose the worst helper, which was obviously planning to dump the pot!

"I'll just say, Japan is a rock desert, at most a few cacti grow, how can there be towering giant trees." He shook his head, no longer expecting much from the results. It seems that you still have to choose between the Beatles and Elvis.

He turned around a little irritably, and instructed Shimizu Tomoya, "Bring two more cameras over, record his every move, and show him when he wants to bargain, and see what kind of excuses he has to make!" ”
