Chapter 302: We are the world

Zhou Xingchi and others don't understand Japanese, watching Han Jin talk and laugh with these Japanese personnel, but he can't insert a word, which is really quite depressing.

And Lan Jieyuan saw that Han Jin was fluent in Japanese, and she didn't fall behind in talking to these people, but she couldn't help but feel sincerely proud of Han Jin. His eyes were shining as he looked at Han Jin, and his heart was all tied to him.

After eating the reception banquet, Han Jin first sent Lan Jieyuan and others back to the hotel to rest, and he went to Sony Records first.

Seeing Han Jin, Kawasaki Yue congratulated him first, "Han San, congratulations!" It's amazing to hear that your "1st-ch day stmas" is a big hit in the UK. ”

"Thank you~" Han Jin smiled.

"I'm sorry that Sony Records USA didn't work hard enough on your record to make a name for itself in the United States." Kawasaki apologized again.

Sony Records had high hopes for helping Han Jin to travel to the United States, but unfortunately it didn't cause much repercussions.

On the British side, on the other hand, no one is pushing at all, but it is red half the sky. In this comparison, the difference in the ability of Sony Records' US division can be seen.

In fact, the ability of the American branch is not bad, but they don't care to promote Han Jin's record at all. The vast majority of the employees in the U.S. branch are Americans, and Americans have always been arrogant, except for the British music scene, singers from other countries and regions have been ignored by them.

This also leads to many singers who are in a mess in their home countries, but they always fail when they enter the United States. It's like the Danish band Mike learning to rock. It is a mess in Asia, with global record sales exceeding 10 million, but it is basically not popular at all in the United States; The German Scorpions are a long-established rock band in Europe, which is extremely popular, but it still hits the nail in the eye in the United States......

Like them, they are all white-skinned Westerners, and their language and culture are still the same, and it is so difficult to enter the American music scene, let alone Han Jin, a yellow-skinned Oriental.

Although Japan's Sony Records is very optimistic about Han Jin's potential, it cannot interfere with the decision-making of Sony Records in the United States. Multinational companies like Sony usually face such problems. Fragmented. The tail is too big to fall off.

"Forget it. I don't know it's your business. Han Jin waved his hand and said, "I know it won't be easy to enter the American music scene. ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Kawasaki bowed again and apologized.

Han Jin smiled, "After my song became popular in the UK this time, will there be some improvement in the United States?" ”

"The company has already submitted its opinion to the headquarters. I believe that the situation will improve in the future. Kawasaki said again.

"Make amends. It's not too late~ Let's wait and see. Han Jin smiled.

"Hello!" Kawasaki nodded harder. "In order to make up for our mistakes, we will definitely vigorously promote Han Sang's album this time and strive to sell more than one million again."

"Thank you~" Han Jin nodded. "This is the track I want to use for this album, and I will try my best to get the accompaniment music right." As he spoke, he took out a stack of music scores from his bosom and said.

This score is a total of 12 songs, most of which are in the top 30 best-selling works on this year's Japanese singles chart, and can be called the best of the best. Including "γ‚Έγƒ₯γƒͺをに Sad" composed by the well-known Japanese composer Hiroaki Serizawa, which sold more than 700,000 copies and was the No. 1 selling hit single in 85 years; Japan's popular group "Sadness" in Safe Zone also sold more than 400,000 copies, ranking ninth on the annual singles chart......

The most important song is an English song, "E-Are-The-Or1D", which is the greatest public welfare song in history, which has sold more than 7 million copies in the United States. What's more important is that this song is very meaningful, and if it is promoted, it can greatly boost Han Jin's image.

Kawasaki Yue also has a certain ability to appreciate music, and after reading it carefully, he admired Han Jin's creative skills again, "Han Sang, your talent is really unfathomable, which makes me fall to the ground." ”

Han Jin smiled, "Mr. Kawasaki is too awarded!" Every part of the recording industry is very important, and it is not possible to have good songs without good production. Regarding the follow-up system, I ask you to bother more. ”

"Han Sang, don't worry, I promise to do my best." Kawasaki said with a smile.

Han Jin's albums last year were huge sales, bringing more than one billion yen in revenue to Sony Records. Such a money-making machine naturally won the respect of Sony Records, and I can't wait to worship him as the God of Wealth.

Kawasaki Yue, as the person who was specifically responsible for receiving Han Jin, naturally paid more attention to his request.

……

After Han Jin met Kawasaki Yue, he met with Hideo Oda, the producer of the record, and talked to him about the new album.

Oda Hideo also heard the news that Han Jin's song became popular in the UK, and he couldn't help but be amazed. There are not many Oriental singers who have always made a name for themselves in the British music scene, even Japanese singers are very rare. I didn't expect Han Jin to hit it so lightly, which was really a pretty incredible thing.

"Han San, I really admire the achievements you have achieved." As soon as they met, he couldn't help but praise, "In the British music scene, there has never been an Oriental musician who can become popular, I can't imagine that Han Sang can break this convention." ”

"Oda-kun is too award-winning, I'm just a song hit now." Han Jin smiled and waved his hand, "The singer is not popular, and he is still in an embarrassing situation, so I don't deserve to be praised by you like this." ”

Oda Hideo smiled, "This is already remarkable, Han San, you don't have to be modest. ”

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that." Han Jin smiled and said, "The new album will be entrusted to you again this time, I hope we can continue to create a miracle." ”

"Don't worry, Han Sang's works, I will definitely do my best." Oda Hideo said with a smile, he has almost become Han Jin's brainless fan now, and he is looking forward to him.

Han Jin then discussed with him the creative ideas of the new album, production requirements, recording points, etc. Hideo Oda is an album maker, and he needs to understand the thoughts of the songwriter and the singer, and then he knows how to make the album so that he can better reflect the beauty of the song and the value of the singer.

It's like when a director makes a movie, he also needs to refer to the opinions of the screenwriter and the actors. When the communication between the three parties is smooth, we can make better movies.

After some in-depth discussion, Oda Hideo once again expressed his sincere admiration for Han Jin's talent. Especially the twelve songs, he couldn't put it down. I feel that these twelve songs are of very high quality, and each of them can be used as the title song of the album.

People say that the B-side of the record is a garbage song, but Han Jin's record breaks this convention, even if the B-side is recorded with extremely high-quality songs. An album like this is naturally very cost-effective, and it's no wonder that it will sell more than a million.

"Han Sang, I really admire your creative talent." After Oda Hideo finished reading these twelve songs, he couldn't help but say in admiration.

This young man is much younger than himself, but in terms of creative ability, he is far behind himself, and he will not even let himself see his figure.

"Oda-kun is too awarded, since you also think these twelve songs are very good, then it's decided." Han Jin said with a smile, "In addition, I would like to add that in this album, I will donate 10% of my proceeds to the hungry people in Ethiopia." ”

When Oda Hideo heard this, his eyes couldn't help but widen. (To be continued!)
