Chapter Eighty-Five: Are You Qualified to Raise Conditions?
After a play, Hikaru Kurosawa stopped.
Although this was his first time playing, in his mind, he tried to play it many times.
"Bang bang bang!"
As he stopped playing and folded his hands, the other three judges applauded.
Maybe not all of them know about the piano, but even the layman can feel the charm of Hikaru Kurosawa playing the piano.
This look, this piano skills, this young man will be hot!
Seeing this scene, Runa Igarashi was also a little happy.
Sure enough, when he was in the restaurant that day, Hikaru Kurosawa was just trying his skills and didn't fully show his strength at all.
"Did you adapt it yourself, or did someone else adapt it?"
Mia Hamada asked after taking a deep breath to calm her mind as much as she could.
"Myself." Seeing the irrepressible joy on her face, Hikaru Kurosawa secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied.
There is no Maxim in this world, and his version, because it is a solo and has no accompaniment from other instruments, has not been able to fully reproduce it, and can only be filled and modified to a certain extent based on his own level.
This piano piece, in the eyes of insiders, is not difficult to play alone, but simply shows off its skills and speed.
For the uninitiated, the flying bees are impactful and have a strong charm, and the almost crazy rhythm, like rock 'n' roll, can ignite people's passions.
"Next is my choice of songs, the melody of your choice is so fast, let's perform "Nocturne", as for the number, you can do whatever you want."
Miya Hamada nodded slightly, then shook the pen in her hand, shook it a few times, and after thinking about it, she made a request.
"Okay, before I continue to perform, I have one condition, I want to make it clear first."
Hearing this request, Kurosawa Hikaru nodded slightly, also thinking that the time was almost up, and stood up and spoke.
Those pianists who died in their early years are all in history, including Chopin.
The skill of getting started with piano not only gives him the theory and experience of ordinary people playing for decades or even a lifetime, but also includes most piano pieces.
Chopin, as a mountain that cannot be bypassed in the piano world, is naturally involved in his works.
"Conditions?"
Mia Hamada, who was already eager to listen to him continue playing, heard this and glanced at Runa Igarashi by the door.
"I want to be a masked singer, that is, a singer who doesn't show his face and doesn't reveal his true identity."
Hikaru Kurosawa stood up and faced the four judges.
"If you're popular and famous, and you need to hold a concert, and fans want you to show up, will you show up?"
Hearing this, Maeda Oki was a little stunned and immediately asked.
"When the time comes, I want to play with a mask." Hikaru Kurosawa shook his head slightly.
Being a singer is just an attempt he makes based on his own skills.
Miss Runa's pursuit and hospitality are one of the reasons why he chose to be a singer, but not all.
He just doesn't want to be limited to a life where he can only bury his head in school, graduate and work, but to experience all kinds of life and see the scenery that was impossible to see before.
"You're so good-looking, why do you have to hide it?" Maeda Oki wants to know his reason.
"I don't want my private life to be disturbed."
"Don't you think that's a contradiction? You want to be an idol and you don't want to be disturbed. β
"It's a contradiction, but I don't want to be an idol, but an artist."
"Your appearance is so outstanding, coupled with such talent, as long as you operate it a little, you can become popular, and you can make a lot of money, being a masked singer is completely self-defeating."
"Are you the one or something? Don't want to rely on face, just rely on talent? β
"No, it's just that my focus is not on being a singer, but on life."
Don't eat with your face? By talent? Hikaru Kurosawa didn't have such a sassy idea.
One of the reasons why he didn't want to be a star in the first place was that a star would be noticed by people as a public figure, but more because he felt that he was not capable of being a star.
But now it's different, since he has talent, being an artist is also a choice, and he even conceived a masked image.
"You haven't made your debut in the industry yet, but you're just an unknown person, do you think you're qualified to put forward conditions?"
When Miya Hamada heard this, she finally couldn't help it, her face became indifferent with joy, and she asked in a cold voice.
What are you kidding, the artist's debut, including her, who is not obedient, endured all kinds of pressure and unreasonable requirements, and unfair treatment, and slowly got out of the way and had the capital to communicate with the company.
This cold and angry reprimand startled everyone, and they didn't dare to say anything for a while, they all looked at her.
"Why not? Before signing the contract, both parties have the right to speak, and after mutual consultation, the result can be accepted, which is called cooperation. β
Kurosawa Hikaru's complexion changed, and when he found that her attitude was so domineering, he squinted his eyes and said coldly.
"Igarashi."
Hearing this, Mia Hamada didn't want to argue with him, but looked at Igarashi on the other side of the door, her eyes unkind and dissatisfied.
"Yes." Glared at her, Runa Igarashi stood up a little stiffly.
"Originally, based on his comprehensive quality and talent, as long as he performs better, I plan to give him first-class resources to start, and accept him as an apprentice and personally guide him. As long as he passes the market inspection, he may even be upgraded to the top stream.
But no matter how good he is at the piano and how good he is at singing, if he insists on not showing his face, and he does not plan to focus on his career, the company will give the audit results of third-rate resources at most...... Or don't sign a contract. β
Mia Hamada's attitude was very resolute, and even more angry.
It's just that the meaning under her words is also very straightforward, as long as Hikaru Kurosawa is willing to show his face, then everything is easy to say.
"I ......"
Runa Igarashi looked at Hikaru Kurosawa, and then at her furious appearance, not knowing what to say.
"Judging by your expression, it is not at all surprising to his conditions...... Knowing that this is the case, you still dare to bring him to review, your ability to do things is really getting worse and worse. That's the end of the review, and when he recognizes himself, he will continue today's review. β
Miya Hamada's mood has not completely calmed down, and she has a resolute and unkind attitude to decide the matter, and she sends off the guests.
"It's rude."
Facing one of the board of directors, Runa Igarashi had no right to refute and protest, so she could only bow her head and apologize, and then waved at Hikaru Kurosawa.
Reminded by this action, Hikaru Kurosawa also followed her footsteps and walked out of the room together.
"Actually, you can sign him, if he wants to be a masked singer, let him be, even if he can't give first-class resources, he can be trained with second-rate and third-rate resources."
Seeing him walk out, the other censors couldn't help but say.
"He may be at the top, but he is willing not to enter the stream. And he dared to put forward conditions before he entered the industry, and it was more difficult to control after he became popular, as long as he was willing to bow his head, be obedient, and comply with all the requirements and conditions of the company, I have the confidence to make him popular. β
Mia Hamada shook her head, disagreeing with this.
"Is it coercion?"
"What if he gets signed by another company?"
Maeda Oki presents the worst-case scenario.
"Then it depends on Igarashi's performance, she already knows the value of Hikaru Kurosawa, and I believe she will help us pull this person into the company."
Hearing this, Miya Hamada must have eyes behind the glasses, and then said with luck.
Just now, she has directly said the value of Hikaru Kurosawa, and I believe that Igarashi, the gold medal agent, will not disappoint.
This Kurosawa Hikaru is, after all, a child who has not been out of school and has not been beaten by society, so he has such a naΓ―ve idea that he is qualified to put forward conditions.
But Igarashi is an elite who has worked for many years, and has even experienced a lot of ups and downs, showing very professional ability, presumably she will realize her mistake and bring Hikaru Kurosawa back.
