Chapter 401: Xiu Man Asks for Song
Just when Nie Zirun and his entourage first arrived in Europe but had a small wave, a big event happened in the Japanese music scene in Asia.
Koji Tamaki, a Japanese singer known as the "son of God" of pop music, has returned to the music scene with a mini-album called "Farewell to Sadness", which ignited the long-dormant flame of passion in the hearts of countless Asian fans.
What is noteworthy is that after a long absence, this mini album released by Koji Tamaki only recorded two songs, one of which is the theme song of the TV series "Coach", which created millions of sales in Japan in 96 and is known as the Divine Comedy - "Pastoral".
Another song with the same name as the album is even more eye-catching, saying that it is a new song by Koji Tamaki, but it is purely a cover, which is enough to shock the entire music scene at the same time, many fans find out the original version and find that the original face of this song has long been changed beyond recognition, and the lyrical style has been gorgeously transformed into roaring rock, which is refreshing, but also has a sense of freedom and freedom.
And then Koji Tamaki's speech at the comeback press conference made all the Japanese media fall to the ground: "Thank you Mr. Nie Zirun, he let me find the long-lost passion when I first devoted myself to music, and thank him and Mr. Tetsuya Komuro for adapting and creating "Farewell Sadness" for my comeback! ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and while Koji Tamaki's comeback remarks set off a twelve-level giant wave in the Japanese music scene, it immediately attracted more attention from South Korean and Chinese entertainment media.
Nie Zirun's instant rise in South Korea like a comet, and his every move has already touched the sensitive nerves of many entertainment media, even some large-scale entertainment media in China are no exception.
On the occasion of a big move to visit Europe. He unknowingly quietly made a big move to participate in the production of Koji Tamaki's comeback album, which made a group of media who boasted of being able to accurately grasp the trends of the music scene. The eyeball, which had already fallen to the ground, couldn't help but fall again.
Nie Zirun aside, Yuzhi Haoji. Tetsuya Komuro and these two are well-known in Japan, throughout Asia and even the world, with fans of all ages, and while they are named the guides of Asian music, any singer will flock to them and find ways to intersect with them.
Even if it's a "deliberate" greeting, or a few words of "advice" that are not deliberate, as long as it is associated with them. Singers usually write a lot of stories and want to let everyone know about them, because it means that they will be the focus of countless Asian music media in the coming period.
Don't forget, Ayumi Hamasaki, Mirai Koda, Namie Amuro, Hikaru Utada, Kaori Mochida. Including South Korea's diva BOA, countless big names in the music industry have a silky relationship with these two or one of them, and they can't be calm about who they are.
But that's what really shocked all the media. is not an ordinary encounter, let alone a public promotion, Nie Zirun, who has not yet debuted for a year. The relationship with these two big names is actually cooperation!
It's unimaginable, and I can't even figure it out even if I break my head. How did Nie Zirun intersect with them, and how did he get the recognition of these two. So with this cooperation?
However, Koji Tamaki was silent on this kind of topic after the press conference, and Tetsuya Komuro, another central figure, never showed up from beginning to end, so, under the crazy excavation of countless reporters, all the big-name singers who have a close relationship with these two music gods have blood mold one by one, and after continuous harassment, while expanding the influence of the incident in disguise, a Japanese reporter who is good friends with BOA finally got clues from BOA's mouth.
"Nie Zirun came to Japan when Jay Chou was on his world tour, and he had a friendship with them at that time"
A large number of reporters flocked to the city, BOA repeatedly said that she only knew about these, and had no way of knowing anything else, but the media was not willing to accept such simple clues, and then began to dig deeper and analyze, just when all kinds of speculation and rumors were flying all over the sky, Tetsuya Komuro, whose whereabouts have always been mysterious, was accidentally caught by a reporter wandering near Ai Hui's company late one night.
"Mr. Nie Zirun and I hit it off at first sight, and we have endless topics to talk about in music, and we have benefited a lot, especially the retro style he has recently led, which makes me admire it very much, but it's a pity that he knows so many languages but doesn't know Japanese, and I look forward to the next time we meet, his Japanese can make our chat more enjoyable!"
After a few quick comments, Tetsuya Komuro disappeared from the public eye again, but the impact caused the news to escalate to a nuclear bomb detonation
Communicate with Komuro and make him claim to have benefited a lot and admired?
Nie Zirun's musical talent instantly became the focus of discussion in all music media, and several mainstream Japanese music media even came to an inference that countless music lovers could not digest: in the minds of Tetsuya Komuro and Koji Tamaki, Nie Zirun's musical talent belongs to the same level as them
It's been a week in the blink of an eye, Seoul, the office of the president of S.M Company.
Li Xiuman, who had a cold face, symbolically knocked on the door, and the helpless resentment in the small eyes behind the lenses flashed no more, no less, and after waiting for three seconds, he pushed the door in, leaving Kim Yingmin's secretary and assistant outside the door with undisguised schadenfreude and pride.
In 07, Nie Zirun was born in the company, slowly and silently affecting the undercurrent situation within S.M, Kim Yingmin and Li Xiuman, the two giants from almost open and secret fighting, gradually turned into two major forces began to cover up sharp contradictions, communicate and compromise with each other, and temporarily unified the form of Kim Yingmin leading on the surface and Li Xiuman working together.
Although all the employees of the company know that the two sides are still at odds with each other, it is clear that some developments cannot be controlled by any one force alone, and the key factor is undoubtedly the emergence of Nie Zirun.
"Tsk, the director is here again, guess what. What is he looking for from the president? Kim Young-min's female secretary asked softly as she glanced at the closed office door with a flirtatious look.
"It's the third time this week. Do you know what to ask? The assistant's expression was as strict as usual, but the corners of his mouth slightly pursed revealed a hint of pride and smugness in his heart. The topic suddenly changed and whispered: "Recently, the boss is planning to increase the number of directors of the company, it should be next year!" ”
"Really?" The female secretary looked obviously surprised, but when she saw the assistant's rare mysterious and mysterious posture, her face instantly flashed with a touch of disbelief, and her voice was abruptly a little sharp: "Wouldn't it?" You mean?"
"Be quiet!" The assistant noticed that he was speechless for a while because he was too angry, and immediately turned pale and said: "Do your job well, the boss's business, it's not something you and I can discuss casually."
"Yes"
The female secretary lowered her head in fright, and immediately pretended to work hard at the desk. It's just a short moment, how can my heart be so light and calm down, S.M wants to add a director, which is definitely a big deal, and the company will also have earth-shaking changes, right? I don't know who this future council will be
"Youngmin, what's the busy?" As soon as Li Xiuman, who stepped into the office, closed the door, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he greeted Kim Yingmin, who was busy at the desk.
"Brother Xiuman, you're here" Kim Young-min was not surprised. After raising his head and responding to a spring smile, he lowered his head again and said while busy: "I'm really busy, please sit down when I finish reading this article, forgive me for not being well entertained!" ”
Li Xiuman's eyes narrowed slightly. His expression obviously lagged behind and quickly became clearer, and he waved his hand kindly and said, "Hehe~~ It's okay, it's okay, you are busy first." Finally, I let you experience my previous suffering! ”
How can you not see that Kim Yingmin is deliberately putting on a show, to say that he is busy. He Lee so-man is not inferior to Kim Young-min in the position of president at all, and even more than him. But I still have to let go of everything in person, in the final analysis, it's really out of shape, and I have nothing to do.
The purpose of his trip is quite simple, and it can be summed up in two words - ask for a song!
The cause of the incident is nothing more than because of Koji Tamaki's comeback album, while the Japanese media hyped it up, they focused on commenting and praising Nie Zirun's musical talent, and it was inferred that BOA and TVXQ, who are in the same entertainment agency as Nie Zirun and are also the face of S.M, are active in Japan, and it is completely natural to take this ride.
As a result, the tide of public opinion that attracted countless fans and all parties who were looking forward to their next album began to spread. As one of the two major helmsmen of S.M, and BOA and TVXQ were built by him, the pressure on his body naturally bore the brunt.
It's just a song, no matter which creator it is, Li Xiuman will inevitably be caught, not to mention that he is still a song for BOA and TVXQ, a good thing that no number of music creators can ask for, but public opinion has already vaguely designated Nie Zirun.
Finding Nie Zirun is just a trivial matter in the eyes of outsiders, the same company, Nie Zirun's contribution is not only a bumper harvest of fame and money, but also a show opportunity to reflect the good relationship with BOA and TVXQ, and the result will inevitably be a happy and harmonious situation of hello, hello, hello, everyone.
Especially at S.M, as we all know, S.M's strength is not as simple as the public says, in the eyes of all the media and fans, the left and right are just one side to create and one side to sing, for the foreseeable prospect of album sales, working together must be a sure thing.
But outsiders don't know that Nie Zirun has a transcendent status in the S.M company that others can't understand, and this is what makes Li Xiuman really nerve-wracking.
His rise did not happen overnight, with a tough background, dazzling talent, and the strong support behind Kim Young-min, all three conditions are indispensable.
Li Xiuman also knows very well that Nie Zirun is definitely not an ordinary S.M artist, and if he wants to obediently let him obey, the entire S.M will hardly be able to find such a person. A few days ago, I tested Nie Zirun's intentions in Europe, but the sentence "too busy" made Li Xiuman eat a real closed door.
Constant threats and intimidation?
With the understanding of various fronts and sides, even if he kills Li Xiuman, he doesn't dare to have such a mind now, don't you see that CJ has fallen on his heels?
That miserable end has not yet seen any follow-up actions of the Samsung Group, and it is a mysterious, huge background deterrent like Halla Mountain. It is far from him, the so-called godfather of Korean entertainment, who dares to take the edge lightly.
Ignore public opinion?
S.M's consistent strong management model has always adhered to his own style of doing things, and sings against the fans of public opinion. Li Xiuman has not done it before, with BOA and TVXQ's current good situation. In fact, there is no shortage of Nie Zirun's icing on the cake.
But now Li Xiuman's own form is not so optimistic, and the struggle with Kim Yingmin has shown a decline, at this time, he urgently needs to instruct Nie Zirun to write songs to show his sense of existence, and prove to all the employees of S.M that his control over S.M is as strong as ever, which is undoubtedly the best way.
The only way left is to flank the curve, pinching his nose and looking for Kim Yingmin to come forward to play the emotional card, because he is the only high-level candidate for Nie Zirun who may be instructed by the entire company.
Now. Li Xiuman's depression and helplessness in his heart are not to mention how heavy, sitting on a treasure that can make S.M lead the entertainment industry for decades in the future, I don't know how many entertainment companies are jealous, but in reality, he, the director, is an "empty shelf" that is not easy to use in this treasure.
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiuman, I'm delaying you!" As he spoke, Kim Young-min had already stood up, served a cup of instant coffee, and sat down on the sofa opposite Li Xiuman.
The shelf is also a scale. Although he understood what Li Xiuman was looking for him for, he let go of what he was doing after only drying for less than a minute. It is far from the time for the two sides to fight with real swords and guns, and put on a slightly posture of the winner. You still have to be careful about the occasion of the round, but it is impossible to want good treatment!
"Yingmin, Zirun's publicity is almost over for the New Year. In addition to the necessary TV station music programs, he hasn't made any arrangements for the time being after the year, right? ”
Glancing at instant coffee. Lee so-man knew that now was not the time to focus on the minutiae and deal with Kim Young-min. simply came out of sight, and directly swallowed his anger to get to the point.
"Alas, Brother Xiuman, I'm worried too?"
Jin Yingmin immediately made a tangled appearance of scratching his head with a headache, and his scalp rustled and said: "It's not that it's not arranged, it's that there are too many people who don't know how to arrange it, this stinky boy, he doesn't care about it when he runs to Europe, hey~~ It's really Brother Xiuman, do you have any good construction?" It seems that the future development direction of this kid still needs you to come forward to help deal with it! ”
After all, he still couldn't hold back the sense of pleasure and superiority that he had never had, and Kim Yingmin teased Li Xiuman a little again.
Li Xiu's eyes rolled in his heart, he took a deep breath, and corrected the topic with the anger in his heart: "Yingmin, I'm talking about letting Zirun vacate the schedule to write songs for BOA and Yunhao, and his every move in Europe is fed back by the media every day, and public opinion in Japan is getting stronger day by day, and even the media on our side are coaxing, and now everyone is staring at us, and the company can't be without a reaction anymore!" ”
"It's a bit of a hassle!" Kim Young-min finally began to be serious, but he was extremely proud in his heart, and it was unprecedented for Lee so-man to look for himself three times in a week for the same thing.
"You contacted him?" Li Xiuman quickly caught the obscure information in Kim Youngmin's words, and hurriedly leaned forward and asked, "What did he say?" ”
Jin Yingmin spread his hands and shook his head, not deliberately for show, this time he really didn't say anything about Nie Zirun.
"What?" Li Xiuman's face suddenly turned as black as coal, and he slapped the table excitedly and shouted, "He doesn't even dare to listen to your words?" The company is so dedicated to cultivating him, there is no time to make some contributions to the company? It's definitely forgetting the original, the original contract was strictly regulated, this is his obligation and responsibility to actually put you in his eyes, is everything a dead letter in his eyes, it's a child's play? ”
After venting his anger with half-truths and half-truths, Li Xiuman blocked Jin Yingmin's face for a while and turned blue, and the hats were deducted one after another as if he didn't want money, and he didn't even have a chance to interject, so he almost directly singled out, "It turns out that you Jin Yingmin is just like this, everyone is just half a catty."
Think about it, how can the dignified godfather of the Korean entertainment industry be so easy to tease and run?
finally waited for Li Xiuman to have a chance to breathe, Jin Yingmin hurriedly said: "Brother Xiuman, the situation is not as strict as you said, he has been really busy recently, JYP still owes two songs, and Li Xiaoli also has a song agreement, Girls' Generation is still counting on him to hold it again, after all, excellent creation is not as simple as drinking water, no wonder he will shirk his anger, you can persuade again, think of a way!" ”
Jin Yingmin had to clear it up, and also defended Nie Zirun, Li Xiuman's big hats, when it came out, it was a Nie Zirun's arrogance, and no one commented in his eyes, such an artist would definitely be rejected by the mainstream circle, and no matter how talented Yan Zòng was, it would be useless.
"What else can you do?" Li Xiuman's eyes rolled, and without waiting for Jin Yingmin's response, he said quickly: "I don't have that ability, it seems that you have to be responsible for this matter!" "On the surface, he hummed to show weakness, but in fact, he hit the snake and pushed the boat along the water.
"Uh~~" Jin Yingmin choked, and the corners of his mouth twitched in regret, he really wanted to give himself a big mouth on the spot, just an unintentional word of justification and comfort, and when it came to Li Xiuman's ears, it became a good way to avoid trouble in a blink of an eye, when did he sue him if he had a way?
What's more, how can Nie Zirun be such a good talker? Especially when it comes to creation, this kid has always had his own opinions, and he doesn't allow others to interfere, and this tricky trouble falls directly into his hands.
"Brother Xiuman, in fact, I"
Jin Yingmin was just about to phrase and push the burden back, but he heard Li Xiu smile with satisfaction: "Yingmin, the matter is settled, notify me immediately if there is news, I will start to arrange it immediately!" ”
After saying that, even the instant coffee that he had always disdained took a sip and left the office with a nice pat on his buttocks. (To be continued......)
