Chapter 341: It turned out to be Mai Kuraki

Zhao Chen shook his head, and then immersed himself in his consciousness, carefully searching for the impression of this name. Because in his opinion, as long as it is a familiar name, except for a very few people, others must belong to the celebrity level in the future, and maybe it will have some effect on himself.

Don't look at Zhao Chen, but the application is the other side, there are too many things in the head, and some unimportant things often need to be recalled slowly.

"It turned out to be Mai Kuraki, so I think the name Aono Mayi is a little familiar." After a long time, Zhao Chen can be regarded as finding the answer, isn't this one of the pillars of being music company in the future!

As one of the three major singers of Heisei in the future, Mai Kuraki can be said to be a bit unworthy of the name, but this is mainly in terms of sales, after all, all her album sales are only half or one-third of the other two singers.

However, there are many reasons why the sales gap is so big, first, Mai Kuraki debuted the latest, although Ayumi Hamasaki said that 95 was considered her debut, but she didn't really be a singer until April 8, 98, Hikaru Utada was a little later in December 98, and Mai Kuraki was the latest, and she didn't release a single until December 8, 1999. In this case, Mai Kuraki lived in the shadow of the other two singers as soon as she debuted.

The second is that Hikaru Utada is a rare singer-songwriter, all the songs are written and composed by himself, so although the output is not high, the quality of the songs is under his control, and the overall level is not bad, the average sales of the director's album are the highest, and there are three albums in the top ten best-selling albums in the island country; As for Ayumi Hamasaki, he has a big appearance rate after becoming famous, and the number of albums per year is obviously much more than the other two, not only that, but various announcements are also overwhelming. There was also an endorsement of the black history of the fifth season. These two, one is heavy on quality and not weight, and the other is more weight, as for Mai Kuraki, only two singles are released a year, and the quality is arranged by the company without much autonomy. Compared to the R&B that was popular at the same time, it is not like its style, so you can imagine the result.

Third, there is the problem of the brokerage company Being itself. In the 90s, Being was definitely a giant in the industry, with its bands B'z, ZARD, WANDS, and female singer Daikoku Moji dominating the music charts all year round, and at its peak, the Japanese Oricon singles sales chart began in the last week of 92 and ended in the last week of July 93 for more than 7 months, and the top of the chart only fell to others 4 times, and the rest were dominated by singers from being. 32 of the top 50 singles in annual sales are Being's, but unfortunately this company has not kept pace with the times, and the biggest feature of this company has always been low-key, and its artists rarely show their faces. There are many artists who have never held a concert or appeared on a TV show, and this is just a few years of strong development of modern media, and others will not remember you if you don't appear on the camera a few times, and record sales can be imagined, so the decline of Being was doomed at the beginning of the new century. So it was inevitable that Mai Kuraki's album sales would decline. You must know that the best publicity that Being has done for Mai is that she has become the queen singer of the Death Elementary School since 2002, and she has not sung the theme song for other anime since.

Fourth. It's a matter of image positioning, Hikaru Utada and Ayumi Hamasaki are both married and divorced, and other female singers are 30 years old, not to mention married, even if there are scandals, there are one or two, but Mai Kuraki's words are not only singing or singing, but there is almost no appearance in her love life, and there are no scandals and no announcements. In the information age, it has gradually withdrawn from people's sight.

It can be said that although Mai Kuraki's three major singers of Heisei are a bit unworthy of their name, most of them are not her own problems, you must know that in the first two years of her debut, she was able to compete with the other two singers, but she faded out of people's eyes because of the relationship between leaving the country. As a result, the sales of albums declined.

However, on the other hand, Mai Kuraki's entertainment life is also significantly higher than that of the other two, at least before Zhao Chen crossed, Mai Kuraki was still active in the entertainment industry of the island country, while the other two had already withdrawn. Mai Kuraki is also a model of reverse growth, and the photos in the future look much more amazing than when she debuted, of course, if you carefully compare her facial features, you will find that she has no plastic surgery.

For Mai Kuraki, Zhao Chen just smiled, although Mai Kuraki is the pillar of the future of his company, but the current age of Mai Kuraki is too young. Of course, this does not prevent Zhao Chen from secretly giving her a better environment to cultivate, after all, it is the pillar to be encircled in the future.

In terms of family, Mai Kuraki's parents are a bit similar to divorce, but they are not divorced, but her father abandoned his wife and children when Mai Kuraki was very young, so she took her mother's surname Aono, and Mai Kuraki is her future stage name.

Speaking of Mai Kuraki's father, I have to say a 'fun fact', when Mai Kuraki began to become popular, her father had a trick in his mind, planning to take a copy of the video tape taken by his daughter when she was a child and sell it, and said that it was an exclusive treasure, and as a result, the incident became a topic of conversation in the island country, so that anyone knew that Mai Kuraki had a father who was a scoundrel more than anyone else. In addition, when it is about to be Father's Day, her biological father Yamae Wuyang has launched a new pretentiousness, and this time he uses his daughter's name to promote the pornographic video he concocted to seek profits.

To be able to think of this method, I really had to obey his father's unique creativity. Because in the latest adult video "The Legend of the Singer", he not only used his daughter's profession as the blueprint for the story, but also invited a 21-year-old heroine named Mai Kuramoto to play the role, and used stories and names to confuse the public.

Seriously, having such a scumbag father also made Zhao Chen feel a little pity for this future being pillar, not to mention that he was raised by his mother with hard work since he was a child, and when he grew up, he had to face all kinds of unreasonable demands and slander from his father, which was too tragic.

However, in order to avoid Mai Kuraki's 'premature death' halfway, Zhao Chen only planned to help from secretly, using his own power to help his family more or less, and give him a better learning environment, such as using various situations similar to lottery to let Mai Kuraki enter a better school for free, etc., and so on.

In addition to Mai Kuraki's matter, the next few days are also happy events for Zhao Chen, in addition to the successful acquisition of Activision, the future giant, Australia TV has also made certain achievements.

Under the tandem of gambling king He Hongshen, Zhao Chen successfully obtained the representative of the Portuguese side, but in the first negotiation, due to some discrepancies in the respective costs of the two sides, the negotiations were temporarily deadlocked. However, for Zhao Chen, as long as he can get in touch, it can also be said to be a good start.

In addition to these two acquisitions, Zhao Chen has already started to create new comics to replace the "Ghoul" that just finished not long ago! (To be continued......)
