Chapter 725 Meet Feiqiu
Lee Kyung-won made a promise to write a song, which made the members of AKB very happy, and they quickly stood up in unison, bowed to Lee Kyung-won together, and thanked him loudly. //
At this time, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and a chubby middle-aged uncle walked in and happened to see the situation.
"Huh?? What are you doing?? "I was confused by the 'big bow' in this room, and then I saw Li Jingyuan, a man in a hurry, and the fat uncle became more and more confused.
"Ah, Producer." Hearing this voice, the AKB girls took a look at it and immediately greeted them again.
At this time, Li Jingyuan had already seen the fat uncle who came into the door, and he felt a little familiar, and then after hearing the words of the AKB girls, he understood that the middle-aged fat uncle in front of him was to build AKB, commonly known as 'Fat Autumn, Qiu Yuankang'.
"Hello, I'm Lee Kyung-won from South Korea, it's the first time we're meeting, please take care of me." Standing up, Li Jingyuan also stepped forward to say hello.
Qiu Yuankang was also stunned by Li Jingyuan's greeting, and a few seconds later, he stretched out his hand and shook Li Jingyuan: "Are you the Korean artist Li Jingyuan?" ”
Qiu Yuankang didn't return the gift at the first time, which seemed to be a bit rude, but he couldn't be blamed for it, because Li Jingyuan was already rude.
This lounge is actually a lounge for AKB members, and no one else usually comes in, not even the male staff of the theater.
Although Li Jingyuan didn't know the rules of Lu Dao, he came in after all, which can be regarded as violating the rules set by Yasusu Akimoto, and he is not a staff member of the theater, just an unrelated outsider.
It is precisely for this reason that after seeing Li Jingyuan, Qiu Yuankang subconsciously felt that he was a little eye-catching, if it wasn't for Li Jingyuan's timely greeting, it reminded Qiu Yuankang of who he was, and estimated that this fat uncle would invite him out of the theater.
"Yes." Li Jingyuan nodded and admitted his identity, and at the same time, he also observed Akimoto Yasu.
Akimoto Yasu, who was born in 56, is only 4 years younger than Li Xiuman, but in appearance, he is much younger, at least his face does not have as many folds as Li Xiuman. has a chubby big round face, which seems to be easier to get close to than Li Xiuman. However, after observing for a while, Li Jingyuan discovered that the Qiu Yuankang in front of him should be in the same category as Li Xiuman
The same talent, the same shrewdness, and even some similarities in personality, such as ambition, desire to control, and so on. Otherwise, Akimoto would not have been able to make such a result.
Speaking of which, Yasu Akimoto's awesomeness did not show up after the formation of AKB, in fact, as early as 1985, Yasu Akimoto served as a producer and launched Japan's large-scale girl group at the time'Kitten Club, a girl group whose name looks a little rustic, and the results are very terrifying. In 1986, a total of 30 singles from the Kitten Club and related groups and individuals won the aricwnna.1 position1 for 52 weeks a year, of which 38 weeks occupied the first place, and only 16 championships in the whole year had nothing to do with them.1 The emergence of the Kitten Club was not only a major event in the entertainment industry, but also a social phenomenon affecting the whole of Japan. It is said that after school in 1986, there would be no more students on the streets of Japan' because they had to return home to watch the 5 o'clock eamplt meow meow eampgt: a sign that the kitten club was very influential at the time. -
There have been such successful experiences so long ago, and there is no doubt about Akimotoyasu's talent. It is precisely because he has long had a successful experience that he has developed a kind of temperament of a superior person, even if he doesn't show it, Li Jingyuan can still feel it from his demeanor. …,
Li Jingyuan was looking at Qiu Yuankang, and Qiu Yuankang was also looking at Li Jingyuan. As a big-name producer in the entertainment industry, Yasu Akimoto will naturally not only focus on Japan, but also in recent times, the Korean wave has gradually risen, and the influence on the Japanese music industry is also increasing, and of course Yasuya Akimoto will also pay attention to those idols in South Korea.
If you pay attention to Korean idols, you will naturally notice those brokerage companies in South Korea, and in this way, Li Jingyuan will naturally enter his sight. Because he is a producer, Yasu Akimoto looks at things from a more professional perspective and some things that ordinary people don't notice, and he still attaches great importance to them, such as Li Jingyuan's behind-the-scenes work behind those idol groups in South Korea, which has not escaped Yasushi Akimoto's eyes.
The more he paid attention to Li Jingyuan, the more surprised Akimoto became. Because he discovered a very terrifying fact, that is, Li Jingyuan's success rate is too high, and all idol groups that have a relationship with Li Jingyuan have developed very successfully.
Comparing his experience with Li Jingyuan, Qiu Yuankang found that Li Jingyuan was not only not worse than himself at all, but also said to be stronger than himself to some extent, so he did not regard Li Jingyuan as a young junior anymore, but put Li Jingyuan on the same level, thinking of finding an opportunity to cooperate with Li Jingyuan once.
The sudden appearance of Li Jingyuan this time just gave Qiu Yuankang this opportunity, probably to see if Li Jingyuan was as powerful as he imagined, Qiu Yuankang invited Li Jingyuan after a short while, "The children are about to prepare for the performance." Li Sang, if you don't mind, please come and sit in my office for a while. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry." Li Jingyuan then remembered that it seemed that his stay here was indeed a bit of an obstacle to the preparation of the girls in AKB, so he hurriedly apologized to them first, and then followed Qiu Yuanyasu out of the house.
said that he wanted to invite Li Jingyuan to the office for a while, but before that, Qiu Yuankang still took Li Jingyuan to visit the theater first. With his explanation, Li Jingyuan heard many things that he hadn't been able to hear from Rino Shihara just now.
After a while, it was time for the performance to begin, and at this time, Li Jingyuan would not go to Qiu Yuanyasu's office, accompanied by Qiu Yuanyasu, he found a position on the side of the stage, and just watched the performance.
The A group on the stage performed very excitingly, and looking at such a performance, Li Jingyuan experienced a completely different feeling from when he performed in Girls' Generation.
Compared to Girls' Generation and other Korean idol groups, AKB's dance moves are simple, there are more movements in the hands, but there are many fewer changes in the feet, and there is no change in formation.
Because the age of the team members is relatively low, there is no wmve action in the choreography, and the whole performance looks less charming and sexy, but more lively temperament, in the words of otaku, it is a vitality.
"These kids are so nice." Watching the performance, Li Jingyuan couldn't help but let out such an exclamation.
"Huh." Qiu Yuanyasu also heard Li Jingyuan's evaluation, and immediately felt very embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing. In a happy mood, he made an invitation to Li Jingyuan: "Li Sang, since you are so optimistic about the children, you might as well help them." I would like to make a solemn request to you to write a song for the children. ”
"Huh??" When Li Jingyuan heard Qiu Yuankang's words, he was stunned for a moment, and after turning his head, his face was a little strange.
"I know my request is a bit abrupt, if it makes you feel embarrassed······" Seeing Li Jingyuan's expression, Qiu Yuanyasu thought that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed his words and made amends. …,
"No, no, no, Akimoto-san, I just think it's a coincidence. Hehe, before I met you, I had already made a promise to those girls, is this called 'Heroes see the same?' At this time, Li Jingyuan laughed and stopped Akimoto Yasu's apology.
"Huh?" After Qiu Yuankang saw Li Jingyuan, he led him out directly, and did not do any communication with those members of AKB, so he didn't know the content of the conversation between Li Jingyuan and them, and now when he heard Li Jingyuan say this, he was a little stunned and stared at Li Jingyuan for a while, and then he laughed: "Ha Lu Ha Lu Ha Lu Lu Ha ”
The unexpected result made Akimoto Yasu very happy, and it also made him feel better about Li Jingyuan. After watching a short performance, he couldn't even wait to take Li Jingyuan to his office and chat with him.
First talked about some messy topics, although they were not very important, but from these topics, Akimoto Yasu still realized Li Jingyuan's knowledge.
Feeling Li Jingyuan's maturity beyond his age, and realizing how good Li Jingyuan's analytical ability is, Qiu Yuankang became more and more respectful of Li Jingyuan, and in the later conversation, he couldn't help but ask Li Jingyuan some more professional questions, including his views on the AKB combination and development suggestions.
"Hehe, I won't talk about directional suggestions, I don't know all about the children of AKB, and you must have had a plan for a long time, Akimoto-san."
"Speaking of which, I've got some little tricks up my sleeve, and I should be able to make some noise, so I'll talk about these things."
Li Jingyuan's answer was very measured. Qiu Yuanyasu is not Li Xiuman, AKB is not an artist affiliated with SM, he is really not good to say too much, and even if he has any ideas, he may not necessarily get Qiu Yuanyasu's approval after saying it, and when the time comes, his opinions will not be adopted, and it is Li Jingyuan himself who is depressed, so he simply doesn't bother to say it.
"Oh, what is it??"
"Hehe, let's do it, Akimoto-san give me a piece of paper, I'll write something first." asked for pen and paper from Qiu Yuankang, and without saying a word, Li Jingyuan just buried his head in writing.
Qiu Yuanyasu was also a little puzzled, but after seeing Li Jingyuan write a beginning, he was a little shocked, this guy just started writing songs in front of him, and the writing was very smooth, without any pause at all, which is too exaggerated.
"Li Sang, are you writing songs?" Akimoto asked tentatively.
"Well, it's a song for AKB, wait a while, it'll be good right away." The speed in his hand did not stop, and after continuing to write for about five minutes, Li Jingyuan wrote the whole song. After he finished, he just snorted, didn't even make any changes, and handed it directly to Yasu Akimoto.
Seeing that Li Jingyuan only spent five minutes to write the song, and he hadn't even made any revisions, Qiu Yuan Yasu was actually a little dissatisfied when he took over the draft, because he thought that Li Jingyuan's action was already very rude, and it could be regarded as perfunctory.
Dissatisfied is dissatisfied, and he can't lose face, so Akimoto Yasushi still looked at it patiently. After taking a few glances, Akimoto Yasu was completely stunned.
The song is really well written, not only in line with the overall style of the Japanese music industry, but also very suitable for AKB, not to mention, the key is that the quality of the song is very high, and it is fully qualified to be a big hit, as long as it is produced, it is almost a sure thing to reach the top of the public credit list.
To write such a song, Akimoto was confident that he could do it, but he didn't think that he could write it in just a few minutes like Lee Kyung-won, and he didn't need to revise it at all. …,
As for whether this song was prepared by Li Jingyuan a long time ago, in fact, Qiu Yuanyasu didn't expect this point at all. In his opinion, whether it was his request to Lee Kyung-won to invite a song, or Lee Kyung-won's initiative to make a promise to AKB members, it was something that just happened, that is, before these things, Lee Kyung-won had never thought about writing songs for AKB.
And this song is so much in line with AKB's style, Yasu Akimoto thinks that he would never have been able to do this without watching AKB's live performances and understanding their stage style.
During the period just now, Akimoto Kang accompanied Li Jingyuan in the theater for a while, and he already knew that Li Jingyuan was coming to this theater for the first time, that is to say, Li Jingyuan had not seen AKB's live performance before today, and under this premise, he naturally had no way to prepare such a song in line with AKB's style in advance.
After watching the half-time performance, I thoroughly analyzed AKB's style, and then spent another five minutes tailoring a song for AKB, and the quality of the song was almost perfect. Thinking about it, Li Jingyuan, in the eyes of Qiu Yuanyasu, was almost out of the category of human beings.
"God-man, God-man~~!! I've really gained insight today. Scooping up the draft, Qiu Yuan Kang sighed several times, and then solemnly saluted Li Jingyuan: "Li Sang, thank you." ”
"No, no, hehe, Akimoto-san, you don't have to be so polite." Li Jingyuan waved his hand again and again, Qiu Yuankang's attitude made him very useful, but the specific actions made him a little uncomfortable, and he organized the language, and then Li Jingyuan said: "Ah, Qiu Yuansan, I have a small suggestion, I don't know if I should say it." ”
"Speak, please." At this time, Qiu Yuankang was still in shock, and unconsciously raised Li Jingyuan's position a lot.
"If you can, please don't use honorifics. At my young age, it's really not suitable for you to use honorifics all the time. ”
For Li Jingyuan's request, Akimoto Yasushi instinctively felt that something was wrong (the Japanese are like this, they will subconsciously put down their posture when they treat people who are stronger than themselves), but after a long period of persuasion by Li Jingyuan, he agreed, and no longer called Li Jingyuan Li Sang, but directly called his name.
Correspondingly, in order to maintain the same height as Li Jingyuan, Qiu Yuankang also lowered his posture, so Li Jingyuan's name for Qiu Yuankang was also changed, no longer Qiu Yuansan, but Uncle Kang.
"Hehe, it's much more comfortable now. Okay, the song has been written, Uncle Kang, let me talk about the following suggestions. After changing the title, Li Jingyuan felt much more relaxed, and after moving some arms, he continued.
"As far as I know, when AKB releases a new song, it should be up to you to decide which members to participate in the production, Uncle Kang, right?" Li Jingyuan did not directly explain his suggestion, but first asked a question to Akimoto Kang.
"Yes, that's right."
"In this case, doesn't that mean that there are many people who don't get the chance, after all, the members of the team can't all be outstanding."
What Li Jingyuan said made Qiu Yuankang feel the same way, and he had to nod, and a tangled expression appeared on his face.
The members of AK848 were all personally selected by Yasushi Akimoto, and it can be said that each of them is his student. With such a relationship, he naturally hopes that everyone can have the opportunity to participate in the production of songs.
But in fact, a song is only that long, and the number of people who can open their mouths to get the opportunity to sing is about ten at most, and if there are more, it will become a chorus, and the number of people participating in the dance can only be about twenty at most, and any more people will make the picture look bloated and disordered.
In order to make the song as successful as possible, it is necessary to control the number of people, so when selecting personnel, it is necessary to consider the level of each member and the attraction to fans, which also has the consequence that there are always only a few main members who can participate in the recording of new songs, and some marginal members have no chance at all, so they can only perform in the theater.
"Hey, there's no way around it, in fact, I want everyone to get on it." Akimoto shook his head helplessly.
"Hehe, there is actually a way, and this process of selecting members can also bring a lot of income, and at the same time, it can also make AKB the focus of news for a period of time." Li Jingyuan laughed at this time, and slowly said something that interested Qiu Yuanyasu.
