In the afternoon, Ohashicho, Meguro Ward, the headquarters building of Polydo Records. Shirakawa Kaede and his party arrived at the entrance of the building in Professor Obayashi's car.

Some people may not have heard of Polytech, but Polygram estimates that everyone has an impression.

Polydor Headquarters is also one of Tokyo's busiest districts, not far from Shibuya and Roppongi.

Many entertainment companies or broadcasters have their headquarters in this area, and for these reasons, the traffic in the vicinity is bustling and busy.

After they informed the front desk of their intentions, they took the elevator under the guidance of the hostess to prepare to go to the agreed conference room.

"Please wait a minute" Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a young lady dressed as an assistant hurriedly stopped the elevator. She nodded to the crowd in apology, then respectfully turned her body to the side and let the person behind her enter the elevator.

Coming in was a woman in her forties, with black eyelashes and eyeliner, a pair of white pearl earrings, and the iconic "onion head".

"Toru Kuroyanagi?!"

Everyone in the elevator saw that the person who came was Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, who had been the host for the past two years and was booming, and they were surprised and greeted enthusiastically.

"Private Marseille~" Tetsuko Kuroyanagi first bowed slightly to apologize to everyone, and then found an acquaintance of Maki Obayashi. So it was another pleasantry.

Maki Obayashi has personal relationships with many people in the circle, and they are both women, so she has a good relationship with Tetsuko Kuroyanagi.

Listening to Maki Obayashi introduce the purpose of the trip, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi glanced at Shirakawa Kaede. "It's a very good newcomer, handsome and talented, I have to work hard in the future."

Uh..., Shirakawa Kaede didn't bother to explain that he was just a student and not a newcomer who had just debuted, he just saluted the other party respectfully.

Presumably you are an unknown little person, and no one cares if you are an artist or not.

At this time, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi was quite surprised when she heard that Yuko Tanaka, who was traveling with her, was also a new member of the literary department.

"Senior Black Willow, please take care of me." Yuko Tanaka was a little excited and saluted Kuroyanagi Tetsuko.

Tetsuko Kuroyanagi smiled and nodded, "What period is Tanaka-chan?" ”

"18th student," Yuko Tanaka replied respectfully.

"Oh, I'm a 3rd grader. It seems that it is indeed a junior.,So please do a lot of good work in the future.,I hope that one day I can talk to Tanaka-chan in the department.。 Tetsuko Kuroyanagi smiled and encouraged.

Tetsuko Kuroyanagi was also a member of the Bungakuza, but in 1970 she quit the troupe due to a split within the Bunza.

In this way, she and Yuko Tanaka still have such an incense relationship. The last sentence of hoping to talk to her in the ministry house shows that Tetsuko Kuroyanagi is optimistic about this junior.

The department is the talk show hosted by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi on TV Asahi since 1976, "Tetsuko's house".

This show generally invites well-known artists in the entertainment industry to talk about the stories before and after their debut.

Tetsuko Kuroyanagi said these words to Yuko Tanaka here, not only to encourage her, but also to express optimism about her future.

"Please take care of me!" Yuko Tanaka was just making fun today, but I didn't expect there to be an unexpected gain, and I was very happy.

And Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's appearance here is related to another show she started hosting last year, Fuji TV's "The Best Ten".

This show announces the ten most popular songs in each episode, and the ranking is related to sales and popularity.

Therefore, it is not uncommon to deal with record companies, and the authority of this show is higher than that of Oricon today.

Yes, you heard it right. During the period of the late '70s and early '80s, the public wanted to see which songs were the most popular, and instead of focusing on Oricon, they tuned in to "The Best Ten".

This shows how popular this show is, with an audience rating of 40%, which is easy. It can also be seen how hot Tetsuko Kuroyanagi is now.

A few people chatted a few more words, and the elevator "ding" reminded that the floor had arrived.

After saying goodbye to each other, Shirakawa Kaede finally arrived at the agreed conference room.

I've only been here for half a day, and it's a record company and a famous host, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi.

The prosperity and beauty of the entertainment industry have hit Shirakawa Kaede in turn, which is a field that he has never been exposed to before. This circle is really tempting, and it can inadvertently arouse your desires.

"Shirakawa-san, fortunately."

"Yamamoto-san, please take care of me."

Shirakawa Kaede shook hands with Yamamoto, the person in charge of the negotiation, and both sides introduced their entourage before sitting down separately on both sides of the long table.

"Shirakawa-kun, have you ever considered making your debut as an artist?"

"Huh?"

Again? The first thing Yamamoto of Polylido Records said when he opened his mouth was to ask him if he wanted to be an artist.

Shirakawa Kaede's side Maki Obayashi and Yuko Tanaka were all trying to hold back their laughter, and even Professor Takeda, who had always been old-fashioned and serious, hooked the corners of his mouth.

I said that I was here to talk about copyright issues, how did I dig up a corner on the spot.

Yamamoto saw Shirakawa Kaede's unexpected appearance, and hurriedly explained, "Shirakawa Kaede, don't get me wrong, because I have watched Shirakawa-san's live performances, and I think Shirakawa-san has great potential to be an artist. ”

As he spoke, Yamamoto took a videotape from his assistant and played it live.

"Every time I stumble and stomp on the asphalt..."

The picture is played by Shirakawa Kaede's performance at the school's New Year's Festival, but due to the limitations of the equipment, the picture is not so clear.

But the lively atmosphere of the scene is still enthusiastic, especially the chorus part of the audience at the end, which feels no different from an idol singer's concert.

This is the first time that Kaede Shirakawa has watched his performance from the perspective of others. I have to say that it's quite fan~

Believe it or not, Yuko Tanaka and Maki Obayashi watched it with relish.

"How, Shirakawa-san. At your current level, there is no problem with making your debut immediately. Yamamoto looked at Shirakawa Kaede and followed the temptation.

The debut songs are all ready-made, and they will be packaged when the time comes. is a genius newcomer, and the original song debuts!

Yamamoto believes that in less than two years, he will become another cash cow for Polydo, just like Kenji Sawada.

However, Shirakawa Kaede thought for two seconds before shaking his head and refusing, "I'm sorry Yamamoto-san, I'm still a student, at least I won't think about the future until I graduate from college." Thanks to Yamamoto-san's care. ”

Hearing Shirakawa Kaede's answer, Yamamoto shook his head regretfully.

However, Maki Obayashi and Kiyoshi Takeda, who had not spoken, showed a touch of appreciation in their eyes.

It is very rare for young people who can withstand the temptation of the entertainment industry, not to mention that even if Shirakawa Kaede impulsively agreed. They will also remind him in due course that no matter how bad the contract is, they will not let Bai Chuanfeng suffer.

How difficult it is for RB to be a newcomer who has just debuted, Shirakawa Kaede has long heard about it in his previous life.

Not to mention the low division, there is almost no freedom. What show to go on and where to tour, it is up to the agency to decide. If you can get your hands on it in the end, maybe you don't have as many old appliances as you do.

What if it's on fire, can it be popular for a lifetime? He knows how many taels he has in his stomach. Just a few songs, and when they run out, they don't have to lie down. Or just wait for a composer or lyricist to leak a few songs to yourself?

Forget it, making money is not the only way to make money as an artist. His and Torataro's determination to make their own products has not yet been realized.

However, at this stage, he still does not refuse to use the entertainment industry to make some money.

If he doesn't make his debut as an artist, it doesn't affect his wool in the entertainment industry, making money, not chilling.

"Well, that's a shame." Yamamoto saw that Shirakawa Kaede had his own opinions, and he didn't persuade him again. Instead, he got his posture right and was ready to start negotiations for a new business, "So let's talk about the cooperation of this song." ”
