Chapter 82: Worried
Akina Nakamori felt a little uneasy when she woke up in the morning, and she remembered the reason why her mother came yesterday, and the worry and worry weighed heavily on her heart. Her music career is at a critical juncture, and if something happens, it could ruin years of hard work and dedication.
So she decided to act immediately and walked towards the record label with Chieko. When they saw the tall building, their hearts couldn't help but tighten, and Chieko took her hand and gave her courage.
In the lobby of Warner Vanguard Records, Akina Nakamori and Chieko waited quietly. She didn't know where her music career would go, and when she saw the Warner Pioneer billboard, her mind was rolling and her eyes were a little red and swollen.
Although there was an appointment in advance, Akina Nakamori noticed that Mr. Tebayashi Chao, who received her mother, seemed to be busy and anxious, probably because she couldn't get out of the company's affairs.
So the mother and daughter waited patiently, and the time passed quickly, not very long.
Finally, Akina Nakamori, who was called into the office, confronted Mr. Tebayashi Chao. He was a top executive in the record label and a key figure in her music career.
She has seen the other party a few times, and it can't be considered familiar, so it can only be said that her mother may have intersected more with each other
His first sentence made Akina Nakamori a little surprised: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." But.... I know what you're thinking, you want to ditch Warner Vanguard, don't you? ”
The kind tone suddenly disappeared with the hideous expression on his face, and was replaced by an oppressive interrogation.
Akina Nakamori tightened the corners of her clothes, and for her, this sense of oppression from adults and high-ranking people was very strong.
On a whim, thinking that Pu Chihui was also like this, he sat next to him for a while.
Chieko was silent for a while, and when she noticed that her daughter seemed to be frightened, she immediately turned her head to look at Mr. Terabayashi Chao and expressed her thoughts: "Terabayashi-san, I know that Akina's music career is facing great challenges. Now, she needs a solid support, which is why I chose to come here first, not to the office first. ”
Terabayashi nodded to show that he understood her thoughts, "We know that Akina-chan has made a lot of contributions to the record company during this time. We will fully support you and make Akina's music career grow steadily. ”
"Let's take a look first, please take a closer look, thanks."
Immediately, Terabayashi Chao handed the plan to Chieko as if he had been prepared for a long time.
This project was seen by Terabayashi as an opportunity to redefine Akina Nakamori, so he would bring together a team of cattle to help Akina create a new voice and identity. The team will include composers, arrangers, stylists, and photographers.
In addition, the entire record company will be involved in promoting the favorite artists, and the all-round publicity strategy will focus on recreating the voice and image of Akina Nakamori.
In the end, vigorous publicity, the joining of the cattle team, and the creation of a new image and new voice will help Akina Nakamori get out of the "forbidden area" and set off a new music trend.
Akina Nakamori heard Terabayashi's plan and came back to her senses and felt very excited. She never imagined that the record company would give such strong support and help.
Si Linchao introduced her to the new team members one by one, and they are all experienced and dedicated talents in the industry. Akina Nakamori is very pleased, and many of them are well-known seniors.
She believes that the new team will create better music for her and bring better market performance.
Chieko also knows that the strong support and platform provided to Akina by the record company means that her music career will have a brighter future.
But she also knew that there would be no guarantee at this time, after all, it was just a plan, and the value of Ming Cai to Warner Pioneer was immeasurable, and she still hoped to try her best to fight for the greatest benefits.
Chieko's decision is not just about her daughter's music career, but more about her concern for Akina.
After all, Akina is an important signed artist of Warner Pioneer, and if she leaves Warner Vanguard, her music career may suffer.
Even if the hummingbird will take care of everything, but with her years of experience, if she already has a stable home, even if it may leak, it is better than wandering outside. The hummingbird has just been established, that is, a "new abode", and for Akina it is no different from wandering.
Terabayashi Chao knows Ming Cai very well, and she knows that Ming Cai is a very talented singer with unlimited potential. If this fine young girl were to work with a company that pursued commercial interests, there was no doubt that her musical talent would likely be limited. And at Warner Pioneer, Akina's musical talent can be better developed and enhanced.
In addition, Chieko is also very clear that her choice will be directly related to her daughter's future. If her decisions can help Warner Pioneer achieve better results, then her daughter can have more opportunities and resources to support in the future.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chieko still couldn't make up her mind, she had to see what her daughter thought, and she really couldn't look at the situation in two days.
After eating lunch, Warner Pioneer gave quite a lot of sincerity, this kind of hospitality, if she let her husband come, she expected that Nakamori Akio would be deceived with nothing left, and he didn't even know that he sold Ming Cai.
While Chieko was glad that she was here, she couldn't help but worry about what if she didn't have time to take care of her daughter's side in the future.
Akina is always alone in Tokyo, and she can't always pay attention to it.
"I believe in Warner Pioneer, and I believe in Mr. Terabayashi even more." Dropping such a sentence can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing the record company.
She had to go to the Yanyin Office to see... situation, she doesn't want the situation to change, I hope that there will be no mistakes over there.
She was about to get up and leave here with her daughter, but unexpectedly, Si Lin Chao also got up, walked up to them, and smiled brightly.
"Mingcai-chan, you can't be as timid as a little girl anymore, and you will have to give more advice in the future."
"Well, Terabayashi-senpai, thank you." Akina Nakamori replied cautiously, she felt that this man who was about the same age as her father became close for a moment, maybe because of the smile.
Then she is a prank when she is in charge of the other party's scary behavior before, she is not a rigid person, but she will also weigh the pros and cons.
Obviously, Mr. Terabayashi Chao has no ill will towards her, and Akina Nakamori thinks so.
"Lady Chieko, I wonder if you have time tonight? If I can, I can book a Western-style high-end restaurant, and we can taste the food together and talk about the follow-up signing of Ming Cai. ”
Looking at Chieko on the other side, Terabayashi Chao pretended to speak calmly. He knew that this invitation was very important, because it was not only an ordinary conversation, but also showed that he valued and cared about the future of Akina Nakamori.
After Chieko heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She was pretty sure that Si Lin Chao was definitely a trustworthy person because she had heard about his history and background. However, after all, this is the first time to have dinner with a strange man, and I still feel a little taboo in my heart.
Seeing Chieko's hesitation, Terabayashi Chao smiled and said, "I understand your thoughts. However, this time I promise to be a gentleman's act, just to better show you my support and care for Akina. If anything is out of the way, the lady can always leave. ”
After hearing this, Chieko nodded, and in this way she let her guard down a little, and then agreed to his invitation.
Back at home, Chieko looked at her daughter who was sitting on the sofa and didn't say a word, and felt a little strange.
The last time Ming Cai came home, she was still a little girl, but now Ming Cai gives her the feeling that she is hiding something in her heart. It's not like she to talk about it.
The daughter chose to be alone in a daze, and she didn't tell her about it, this situation has been a day, which was not possible in the past.
In the past, Ming Cai would definitely tell her when she encountered something, even if others couldn't help her, she wouldn't hold it in her heart, but now her daughter shows more mature ways for adults to face problems.
Chieko is glad that her daughter has grown up like this, but she is also a little afraid of such an unfamiliar daughter, who seems to be getting farther and farther away from her.
Akina Nakamori didn't know what her mother was thinking, she was a little worried about whether today's matter could be solved, and she was afraid that she would drag others down.
If she finally switches to other companies and can't become an artist, how should she face Puchi Keiichi, she feels a little useless, can't she solve this kind of thing by herself?
She hated this feeling, she had been in Tokyo alone for so long, but she still had her mother to take care of her, and Teruik-kun never seemed to need help in the face of this situation.
She felt like she was dragging others down like a "superfluous person".
