Chapter 45: Team Crisis

"I want to meet you, can I?" Kamaike Teiichi's voice lingered in Akina Nakamori's heart. In an instant, all the sorrow and incomprehension were resolved.

"Well, Hui Yijun is waiting for me at the nearby post office, there should be no one there."

Hanging up the phone, Akina Nakamori put the earrings she had just put away back on her ears, packed up her things unhurriedly, and walked out of the office with an umbrella.

"Akina-chan, are you going home now?" Kayoko is preparing to follow Akina Nakamori to take her home.

"Kayoko-chan, if you don't have a job, you can go home, and if Omoto-san asks in a while, you will say that I will go home by myself."

Kayoko looked at Akina Nakamori in front of her and wrapped her face tightly in a scarf, and then disappeared at the end of the corridor, feeling a little apprehensive.

"Could it be that boyfriend came to pick up Mingcai-chan?"

......

"Kayoko-chan, haven't you sent Akina-chan home yet?" Big Ben put the project in his desk and watched Kayoko linger in his office in confusion.

Kayoko cautiously paused on Big Ben's face and threw away the speculation in her heart.

"Ohon-san, Akina-chan said she could go home by herself tonight, and she didn't need me to drive her."

"Oh..."Ben was a little surprised, but he replied helplessly.

"Why did Akina-chan choose to go home alone?" With such surprise, Daben wanted to clarify the reason for this situation.

Since her debut, Akina has encountered all sorts of minor problems.

Sometimes we encounter sexually harassing interviews with questions such as "How old was the first kiss?" When did you start wearing underwear? What color are the panties today? ”

The source of these problems is what Akina once emphasized, "I am not a puppet, I am a living person." ”

It's a pity that in the eyes of the world, since she has become an idol, she is not a person.

The slogan "Milky Girl with H" is an illustration of a cute girl walking naked on the cover...... After reading this, it is clear that the world's positioning of her is nothing more than a "sexual object for consumption", a container for desire.

This is also the original positioning of the so-called idol.

The ill intentions of the media, the current Akina Nakamori can only turn a deaf ear and always believe that she is a singer.

At the same time, the firm has also strengthened the protection of female artists, arranging special personnel to protect their private information, and naturally special car pick-up and drop-off to avoid harassment by newspaper reporters.

Similarly, Akina Nakamori prefers the company's security work in such an environment, and rarely travels alone.

Big Ben guessed in confusion and added more helplessness, as if Akina Nakamori was also a maverick at work, and it didn't seem strange to be able to put sudden ideas into action.

Big Ben and Kayoko can only finish their work one after another, this time is really too busy, and they also need to go home to rest.

At the same time, in the president's office of this building, several people are also talking about Akina Nakamori.

Only this time, the interlocutors were replaced by Kenne President Hanami-hyuk, Chairman Toshio Iwasaki, and Warner Pioneer Akina Nakamori's head of record production, Teribayashi Chao.

"I don't know what important things are about Nozaki-san and Hanami-san to meet me to come to Yanyin?"

Si Lin Chao said such a thing tentatively, and at the same time, he was also guessing the other party's purpose, carefully observing these two treacherous and cunning senior Yanyin executives.

"Isn't it reminiscing?" Toshio Nozaki said with a smile.

Hua Jianhe, who was next to him, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard him say this, and smiled reluctantly, his heart full of embarrassment.

"Nozaki-san can really talk."

Because of Akina Nakamori, the cooperation between Yanyin and Warner Pioneer has been in full swing, as if the last time they met was three days ago.

However, this way of talking is really effective, Si Lin Chao also smiled and did not speak, and the atmosphere in the office was much more relaxed.

After looking at each other for a long time, Hanami Hyuk also knew that it was time to mention the purpose of this meeting, and it was time for him to sing this black face.

"What Terabayashi Sang knows, Akina Nakamori is very important to Yanyin."

The atmosphere in the office cooled down again, and Si Lin Chao's pupils shrank, and he said in a hurried tone.

"Akina Nakamori is also important to Warner Pioneer."

After he said this, he thought of something again, and added: ""The Myth of Half has been completed, and we are waiting for the follow-up promotion and release, but Hanami-san also knows that this song should have been called "Bad Half". ”

The impact of the title could make Akina more attention-grabbing, but the TV station was not happy with it, and changing the title was a sad memory for us. But now Yanyin and Warner Pioneer are very weak in the industry and have no right to speak, and we must respond to the opinions given by the TV station. ”

When Hua Jianhe heard such a complaint, he did not hesitate to belittle his own strength to sit on Yanyin, and the two families were tied together between his words.

Picking out and telling him that the two families are for the common development of Akina Nakamori, he knows that this black face is a little difficult to sing.

It is very difficult for Warner Pioneer to enter the record market, and he knows that Yanyin has also just entered such an industry, and the strength of the two companies is not very strong in the market.

Even if Kenne is backed by the Sasakawa family, Warner Vanguard, and the powerful Warner Bros. in the United States, they are just pawns of these bigwigs after all.

If they don't make any achievements, the bigwigs hardly pay much attention to them, and now they are just covering their ears and stealing the bell from the market situation.

When Yanyin and Warner Pioneer jointly signed Akina Nakamori, they seized the market with the purpose of two companies huddling together for warmth.

Warner Pioneer was formed after the merger of Warner Bros. and Pioneer in the United States. At the beginning of its establishment, in addition to these two, Watanabe Productions also co-financed.

However, in 1978, Watanabe Productions established SMS Records separately and officially separated from Warner Pioneer, which led to a huge change in Warner's capital structure, and the company's management leadership began to be in the hands of Warner Bros.

Such a capital structure caused dissatisfaction among the employees of the former Pioneer Company. At this point in time, Akina appeared. The already dissatisfied employees begin to plan the establishment of a new record company, and at the same time want to rely on the production team to poach Akina Nakamori.

However, now that there is a crisis within Warner Pioneer, Kenne is worried about the ownership and follow-up of Akina Nakamori. Toshio Nozaki handed over the drudgery of singing blackface to him again, which was nothing more than a bit of a grinding sound.

Hanami Hyuk threw a "I can't handle it for the time being, I need help" look, and took a few sips of the teacup on the table.

Toshio Nozaki understood, adjusted his sitting position, and showed his trademark smile again.

"It's like a dream to think back to Akina's job when she first debuted, and at that time, we were forced to open our business by accepting all kinds of unreasonable requests, and we were simply angry on both sides, but before we knew it, our work began to turn into an invitation that we were never satisfied with."

"At that time, the promotion idea was centered on the three major music programs of "THE BEST TEN", "Night Melody Stage", and "THE TOP TEN", and the program "YANYAN", which had taken care of Akina since her debut, and the situation became better and better. Now that I think about it, these are still indispensable to Warner Pioneer's tailor-made treatment of Ming Cai. ”

Toshio Nozaki sang the white face one by one, and instantly pulled up the value of the other party, and even Hanami Hyuk had to admire this partner.

"Actually, we came to Terabayashi to talk about our views on the internal division of your company, and we don't want Akina to make a mistake in the production team at Warner Pioneer, and then Akina will have to think about other record companies for Akina."

"And why Warner Vanguard stopped all promotional work on the single after finishing the production of "The Myth of Half."

Hanami said righteously.

Sure enough, Yanyin was concerned about the turmoil within Warner Vanguard, and Hanami-hyuk's statement confirmed Terabayashi's speculation when he came, but fortunately he was also prepared.

"Although the release of "1/2 Myth" is close at hand, because the sales of "Second Love" a year ago are still very good, we hope to maximize the benefits and postpone the release and promotion of "1/2 Mythology"."

"As for the internal problems of Warner Pioneer, it doesn't seem to be something that Yanyin should be concerned about, right? Could it be that Yanyin wants to breach the contract because of this matter? ”

Hanami Hyuk and Toshio Nozaki heard this, their faces were solemn, and Terabayashi Chao's toughness obviously told them, "Yanyin's opinion is all fart, don't think nonsense." ”

Perhaps it was the true feelings, Si Lin Chao looked at the two people in front of him meaningfully.

"If Kenne wants to know my opinion, as the head of record production of Akina Nakamori, I have always treated her as if she were my own daughter. I will do my best to help Akina Nakamori in her work at Warner Pioneer. ”
