The chance encounter with Iijima Sanchi is also a good thing for Hideki Hanyu and Akina Nakamori.

After all, although they knew that Miwa Yoshida had been introduced here, they were not familiar with the person in charge here, and it was not convenient to do anything they wanted

It's different with Iijima Sanchi.

Although Hideki Hanyu is a big man, he is too high and has been out of the bottom for too long, and he is far inferior to Iijima Sanchi, who often deals with these people.

And whether it's Hideki Hanyu or Akina Nakamori, it's not appropriate to appear directly.

In a crowded place like LIVEHOUSE, as long as your identity is revealed, a person who does not pay attention will attract onlookers.

Iijima Sanchi has no such concerns.

And just as Hideki Hanyu thought, as soon as they entered the store, because of Iijima Sanchi, they were immediately warmly received by the manager of LIVEHOUSE.

Iijima Sanchi asked the store manager directly, "Has Miwa Yoshida, who was introduced today, arrived?" ”

"It's here, and it's being prepared in the background." The store manager replied.

"When will she be able to perform." Iijima asked.

A few of them came to the LIVEHOUSE today to see Miwa Yoshida's performance.

If you don't come to power, there's no point in just looking at people.

Hearing Iijima Sanchi's question, the store manager had a strange expression on his face, "I don't know this either." ”

"Why?" Iijima Sanchi's expression was strange.

"When President Iijima's friend contacted me, he wanted me to introduce a few accompanists to Miss Yoshida, and I helped find them, but when I communicated, I found out that Miss Yoshida didn't know how to read music, and the original songs didn't conform to music theory in some places, so it was more troublesome to communicate with the musicians."

The store manager explained this time.

Everyone should understand why.

LIVEHOUSE is not a place like Yoyogi Park.

You can just play an accompaniment on a tape recorder and you can perform.

Generally speaking, except for those occasions dedicated to idol performances, everyone still has high requirements for performances.

Live performances are undoubtedly a plus.

Especially if the song is original.

Originally, the first time we cooperated, the effect would not have been too good.

Nowadays, there are still communication problems, and if you don't wait for the LIVEHOUSE to close, you may not be able to perform.

After understanding this, Iijima Sanchi and Akina Nakamori couldn't help but look at Hideki Hanyu.

The meaning in the eyes is obvious.

The singer-songwriter you introduced can't even read music, how did she create it?

Hideki Hanyu felt the gazes of the two and said, "Mike Jackson can't read music either." ”

"Hanyu-kun is really optimistic about her, and he even compares it with Michael Jackson." Akina Nakamori couldn't help but say.

After the release of "Trembling", Mike Jackson quickly became popular all over the world, and in today's world pop music scene, it can be said to be in full swing.

Hanyu Hideki spread his hands, "I just want to say that if you can't read music, it doesn't mean that you can't be a good singer." ”

Iijima said, "I'm more curious about this Miss Yoshida now. ”

Akina Nakamori chimed in, "Me too. ”

The three of them spoke, and the store manager looked over with some curiosity.

After a closer look, he quickly recognized Hideki Hanyu and Akina Nakamori, who were slightly disguised.

Then there was a warm greeting.

Hanyu didn't care, but said, "Take us backstage." ”

"Okay, Mr. Hanyu."

The store manager hurriedly led the three of them to the backstage.

Then in a certain preparation room, I saw Miwa Yoshida arguing with a guitarist.

When the four of them walked in, they immediately attracted the attention of several people in the room.

Let's greet the store manager first.

Soon Miwa Yoshida spotted Hideki Hanyu standing behind the store manager.

Last night, she was blind in the dark and couldn't recognize Hideki Hanyu, but when she called Reiko Uemura in the morning, she was really shocked when she learned that the person who gave her her business card was Hideki Hanyu.

She never thought that someone like Hideki Hanyu would go to Yoyogi Park to watch a show.

At this time, when I saw Hideki Hanyu again, even if he had a hearty personality like Miwa Yoshida, he was a little nervous.

Cautiously stepped forward to say hello, "Mr. Hanyu, thank you for introducing me to perform here." ”

"You're welcome, but speaking of which, you should thank Iijima-san, in fact, she introduced you."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he didn't hide it, and directly introduced Akina Nakamori and Sanchi Iijima to Miwa Yoshida.

Hearing Hanyu Hideki mention the identities of the two, Miwa Yoshida's reaction was normal, and he greeted the two politely.

After all, this girl has a big heart, optimist.

But just now there are several musicians who are still fighting with Miwa Yoshida.

After knowing that it was Akina Nakamori and Sanchi Iijima in front of him, his eyes instantly lit up with a scorching fire.

Akina Nakamori is just that.

But Iijima Sanchi, the famous president of Cloud Arts.

If you can be favored by this big man, it is not a matter of words to break away from the underground circle and enter the mainstream.

As for Hanyu Hideki, his identity is too exaggerated, and several of them don't even dare to think about extravagant hopes.

After getting to know each other, Iijima Sanchi asked the store manager next to him, "If the musicians can't do it, can I use the accompaniment tape?" ”

The store manager replied, "The quality of her homemade accompaniment is not good, and the sound playback effect in the store is too poor, so it is really not ......."

However, before the store manager finished speaking, the guitarist who was still arguing with Miwa Yoshida just now came over with a smile on his face.

"Manager, give us another fifteen minutes, and we promise to help this Miss Yoshida accompany a song."

When the store manager saw this, how could he not understand.

Fang Cai also argued with various arguments, and the few people who were reluctant to cooperate wanted to behave in front of the big shots.

But this is exactly what he wants.

When he agreed, "Yes, I'll give you twenty minutes, and now after this band's performance, I'll cut the line and let you play." ”

"Rest assured, there will be no problems, manager."

The musician hurriedly agreed.

As long as you can show your face in front of the big guys, it's nothing to put up with the singer who doesn't understand anything.

After this person finished speaking, he also greeted the three of them with a little flattery.

Hideki Hanyu just bowed his head slightly, and didn't say much.

For this kind of person, he is actually not annoying.

The desire to succeed is just human nature.

Then he said to Miwa Yoshida.

"Miss Yoshida, please hurry up and get ready, we're here today to hear you sing."

"Well, I'll try." Miwa Yoshida replied energetically.

Next, Miwa Yoshida has to prepare.

Naturally, Hideki Hanyu and the others would not stay here to affect them.

Led by the store manager, they sat in a booth with a good view of the store.

Then I ordered three cocktails recommended by the manager and waited quietly for Miwa Yoshida to come on the stage.

There are many types of LIVEHOUSES.

There are those that look like small performance venues, where everyone stands and watches the performances, just like watching a singer on tour, and the main income of the store is to sell tickets.

There are also music bars with seats, which look more high-end, and charge no or very few tickets, and the main income is to sell alcohol.

The LIVEHOUSE they came to today is a two-in-one type.

Around it is an overhead second floor with a minimum consumption booth.

In front of the stage on the first floor, there is a large area for the audience to stand and watch the performance.

As soon as a few people sat down and ordered a drink, the store manager took the initiative to leave.

After the store manager left, Iijima Sanchi said, "That Miss Yoshida looks very lively. ”

"Her style is very good for the stage."

Hideki Hanyu said a word, and found that Akina Nakamori was carefully watching the performance in the audience.

It was a band that Hideki Hanyu didn't know.

The soft, lazy music style has a feeling of Shibuya in the future.

"Is Akina interested in this band?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

Akina Nakamori shook her head, "I've heard a lot of people say that bands are very popular in Tokyo's underground music scene these days. ”

Hideki Hanyu said, "Haven't bands always been popular in the underground music scene? ”

"It's different from the previous popularity, and there are obviously more people who like it." Akina Nakamori explained.

At this time, Iijima Sanchi also followed.

"That's right, the band is obviously more appreciated by the mainstream, and I heard from the president of MF Records, Nagato, that the MAKE-UP band's record performance is clearly on the rise, and he is already planning to transform TUBE into a powerhouse."

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he wondered if the band's popularity had begun to show signs so early?

Iijima Sanchi continued at this time, "Has Hanyu-sensei heard of a band named X? ”

Hideki Hanyu replied, "Of course I do." ”

In the future, the famous "X JAPAN band", the originator of visual rock, how could he not know.

Iijima Sanchi said with hindsight, "I almost forgot that when we created the shape of the Children of the Sun, President Hanyu asked us to refer to their shape. ”

But she didn't dwell on it, but continued.

"Recently, this band has been in the limelight in Tokyo's underground music scene, and their looks are very popular among young people, and many major record labels are paying attention to this band."

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Iijima-san is also interested?" ”

"I don't know anything about the band, but Katsuhisa Shiratori, the president of YM Records, went to contact this band, but there was no follow-up.

The leader of this band seems to have a good family, and he has formed his own independent label to release underground records for the band. ”

Iijima Sanchi explained.

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu asked, "Does Iijima-san have anything in mind?" ”

"That's what I thought. Although the idol market is still thriving, bands also have a trend of being sought after by the mainstream, we can first try to contact some underground bands, start to do a preliminary test of the market, if it can cause repercussions, then take advantage of the opportunity to seize the opportunity. ”

Iijima's words made Hanyu Hideki very pleased.

He naturally knew that it would be a few years before the band became truly popular.

However, cloud entertainment is the top force in the industry.

What we need to do is not to wait for the trend, but to create the trend and lead the trend.

Trial and error, it doesn't matter if you're wrong.

The important thing is to try.

"You have a good idea, you may make mistakes if you try, but if you don't try, you won't even have a chance to make mistakes."

Hideki Hanyu also emphasized, "Communicate with other companies in the industry, and the wave cannot be set off by us alone. ”

"I understand." Iijima Sanchi said.

Speaking of which, Hideki Hanyu remembered another thing and asked Iijima Sanchi, "How is the preparation for the selection program in cooperation with the satellite on the cloud?" ”

"The preparation of sub-sites in various places has been completed, and the plan is to start publicity work in April, regional selection from May to June, and national selection from July to July, and the whole process will be produced into a program for broadcasting."

Hideki Hanyu heard this and instructed.

"We must emphasize with the program team of satellite TV on the cloud that although what we do is a selection program, the focus is not on selection, but on the outside of selection, so that the audience can see the life side of the candidates."

Speaking of this, he added, "Of course, it must be the life that we guided." ”

Of course, he was not stupid, and directly and thoroughly showed the audience the truest side of amateurs.

Any show, even a talent show, needs to create a gimmick.

Besides, it is different from those idols in China who sell dog meat with sheep's heads in the future.

The concept of idols is very mature in Neon.

It was originally a "profession".

It's about "performing" what the audience wants.

Provide fans with emotional value that reality does not have.

This is doomed, even the most authentic side of the contestants needs to be processed by the program team.

It's just that what Hideki Hanyu wants to show is more down-to-earth than those previous shows.

Focus more on the process than on the end result.

This is also why the regional selection takes two months, and the national general selection only takes one month.

In his opinion, after the previous two months of "cultivating" process.

Those who can come out have already been determined by a series of investment packages.

The national general selection just gave these people a bigger stage.

"Yes, I understand." Iijima Sanchi replied.

For Hanyu Hideki's requirements, Iijima Sanchi will always be meticulous in their implementation.

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu seemed to want to say something.

Akina Nakamori beside him didn't agree.

Immediately hugged Hanyu Hideki's arm and coquettishly, "It's rare for Hanyu-kun to go out to play with me, don't talk about whether it's good to work or not......"

Hideki Hanyu shrugged helplessly at Michi Oiijima.

Then he patted Akina Nakamori's hand and said, "Okay, I won't talk about work anymore." ”

Then Hanyu Hideki really didn't say anything, and accompanied Akina Nakamori to watch the singing downstairs.

In fact, he agreed so easily because everything he could say had already been said.

Originally, I didn't come out this time to talk about work.

Just because I happened to run into Iijima Sanchi, I mentioned it by the way.

After two songs, the performing band withdrew.

The store manager took the stage and told everyone in the audience that a new artist would come and try out a song.

The three of Hanyu Hideki upstairs knew that Miwa Yoshida was going to play.

Then, they saw Miwa Yoshida, dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt, walk onto the stage, followed by three accompanists.

It was the first time for the girl to perform on the stage of a LIVEHOUSE and in front of such a large audience.

But looking at the enthusiastic demeanor, there is no feeling of stage fright at all.

Generously introduce to everyone, and next she will sing an original song of hers.

"This typhoon is very good."

Iijima Sanchi's praise just came out.

Miwa Yoshida, who was introducing on stage, said, "But I haven't thought of the name of this song yet." ”

Immediately, there were several boos from the audience.

Obviously, everyone thinks that a song doesn't even have a name in mind, so it is a bit too perfunctory to come to LIVEHOUSE to perform.

But in the face of the boos, Miwa Yoshida looked as usual, unaffected in the slightest, and turned around to signal to several musicians that it was okay to start.

When Akina Nakamori saw this, she also praised her, "She's really amazing, I had this mentality back then, and I wouldn't have participated in the birth of stars three times in a row." ”

At this moment, the prelude played by the musicians on the stage sounded.

It's not too impressive.

And the three of them watched the score play, rusty and not in place.

The audience often comes to the LIVEHOUSE, and the experienced audience knows that the musician has not rehearsed the song at all, and it is completely improvised.

The most important thing is that these three musicians are not only not skilled, but also inexplicably have a feeling of wanting to perform and show off their skills.

makes the already bad accompaniment even worse.

This led to another round of boos.

But even after being booed continuously, Miwa Yoshida still had a smile on her face, as if she was not affected at all.

The textured sound is inserted into the accompaniment accurately.

"There is only one night a week for two to spend together"

"Barely keep you down and ignore her breath"

……

Bad musicians.

Unremarkable arrangement.

But none of them can hide the charm of the girl's voice.

Just for a moment, the boos stopped.

The enthusiastic smile seemed to be integrated into the voice.

The lyrics are clearly love songs that avoid sadness.

But when it comes out of Miwa Yoshida's mouth, it makes people feel the urge to rise to the challenge.

Iijima Sanchi immediately sat up straight.

Although she is not a professional musician, she has been in the industry for so many years, and she still has some appreciation for identifying talents.

Miwa Yoshida, who is enthusiastic about the typhoon but sings sad love songs.

It's simply a typical example of God forcibly feeding food.

Born in the wild, he can do it to such an extent if he doesn't know music.

If you have received systematic music training.

It's unimaginable.

Seeing Iijima's expression, Hanyu Hideki seemed to have guessed the other party's thoughts, "Does Iijima-san want to sign her and then train systematically?" ”

"That's right." Iijima Sanchi admitted.

Hanyu shook his head and said, "I don't recommend you do that. ”

"Why?" Iijima asked.

"Some people's talents need to grow up unrestrained and wild freely in order to be fully developed, and using so-called rules and regulations to restrain them will inhibit their inspiration."

Hideki Hanyu spoke his mind.

In his opinion, the reason why Miwa Yoshida has such achievements in the future and has a unique creative style is related to the other party's growth experience.

After coming to Tokyo from Hokkaido, he worked in the underground music scene for many years.

Then he met a teammate who was very compatible with him, Masato Nakamura.

"This song sounds really good."

It was Akina Nakamori who spoke.

Compared to Michi Iijima, who cares about Mei Yoshida and this person.

Akina Nakamori is more concerned with the song itself.

"The song is good, but it's also because the singer is suitable."

The music created by Miwa Yoshida is a typical type that only one can sing, and it is difficult for others to sing.

At the moment, Miwa Yoshida said that he hadn't thought of a name yet.

But judging from the melody and lyrics, Hideki Hanyu should be the "Lovers of the Week" in the first album after the other party formed a band.

It's just that this song in Hanyu's memory was rearranged by Masato Nakamura.

And the arrangement of the current performance is really not excellent.

"Hanyu-kun is right, I can't learn how she sings."

Akina Nakamori is not modest.

Miwa Yoshida's falsetto and treble in the song alone are not the same type as her at all.

While the three of them were talking, Miwa Yoshida's singing gradually came to an end.

Iijima Sanchi asked Hideki Hanyu, "Hanyu-sensei, are we just going to ignore her?" ”

A good singer will not lack chasers.

Iijima Sanchi does not reject letting Yoshida Miwa grow freely, but he can't grow up, so he grows into someone else's vegetable field.

"I want to think about ......"

If Hideki Hanyu remembers correctly, Miwa Yoshida joined Columbia Records after getting acquainted with Masato Nakamura.

Later Sony acquired Colombia.

Columbia Records was reorganized by Sony, splitting the original Epic Records under Columbia Records and becoming one of Sony's three generations of flagship record labels in the 90s.

The release of the band Dreams Come True is in charge of Epic Records.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves.

Especially a giant like Sony.

Although he has already thought of a series of plans to dig holes for Sony.

But now he really is no match for Sony.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki glanced at Akina Nakamori, who was listening intently to the song next to him, and an idea came to his mind.

"Akina, what do you think of Miss Yoshida?"

"I can create, and I sing so well, much better than me."

Tianhou Cai said very sincerely.

"Then sign her to your HA record."

"Huh? Is this okay? ”

Hanyu Hideki's words, Akina Nakamori didn't expect it at all.

Her record company is just an empty shell serving her alone.

On weekdays, she prepares her own records, relying on Warner Pioneer and Cloud Music to form a production team.

How can you help others make records?

Signing is just continuing to stock, what is the difference between this and not signing.

But what Akina Nakamori didn't know was that this was what Hanyu Hideki wanted.

If Yunshang Arts can sign Miwa Yoshida.

Even with his advice, there is no guarantee that Miwa Yoshida's growth will not be affected.

After all, he can't keep an eye on it all the time.

Cloud Arts is a formal firm with a mature process for artists.

If you don't do it, you're going to raise Miwa Yoshida crookedly.

As for Akina Nakamori's record company and Warner Pioneer shares.

Hideki Hanyu just kept Miwa Yoshida there temporarily.

If you really want to release the film, you must take it back and go through the channel of music on the cloud.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu said to Akina Nakamori.

"Of course, don't you appreciate her very much, then let her continue to grow with your appreciation, and leave everything to her to decide."

"Good...... All right. Akina Nakamori agreed in a daze.

Next to it, Iijima Sanchi can see it.

It's not that Hideki Hanyu doesn't want to sign Miwa Yoshida, but he doesn't want Yunshang Art to sign.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, this girl is always going to make her debut, and when the brokerage business comes, she still can't escape the cloud arts.

At this time, Miwa Yoshida's singing on the first floor had already ended.

The girl waved her thanks to the cheers of the audience, and then walked off the stage.

Seeing this, Hideki Hanyu smiled and said to Akina Nakamori beside him, "Akina, it's time for you, the president of the record company, to appear next." ”

"Oh......"

Akina Nakamori has a kind of cute feeling that she hasn't figured out the situation yet.

But she still followed Hanyu Hideki's request and walked in the direction of the backstage.

After a few moments, Akina Nakamori returned.

He gestured OK to Hideki Hanyu, "Okay, she promised to go to my record company tomorrow to talk in detail." ”

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu turned his head and said to Iijima Sanchi.

"Iijima-san, tomorrow you sign a contract to send someone to help Akina, and then help Miss Yoshida find an underground agent, don't want someone with cloud arts, let her exercise in the underground circle for the time being."

Hearing this, Iijima Sanzhi was speechless.

This person didn't let her sign a contract, but he still had to ask her to help at work, I really didn't know what to say.

But Hanyu Hideki personally explained that what else could she do, so she could only agree.

"Okay."

——

Following.

Akina Nakamori got up early in the morning and rushed to her record company.

A record company that used to be just an empty shell was suddenly able to sign a singer.

Akina Nakamori suddenly came to the feeling of being the president.

In order to take into account the feelings of Warner Records.

Akina Nakamori's HA VILLAGE record office is not located in the Cloud Building.

Instead, it is located in an office building in Akasaka, Minato-ku.

It is only one street away from the Burning Production office signed by Kyoko Koizumi.

When she arrived at HA Records, the reception lady reported to her that Miwa Yoshida had arrived.

After Akina Nakamori entered the door, she pulled Miwa Yoshida, who was actually two months older than her, and chatted.

By the way, some of the post-signing arrangements were all explained by Hideki Hanyu.

said that it was not a problem to help Miwa Yoshida release a record.

But I feel that Miwa Yoshida is not ready to make her debut now.

I need to continue to train and grow, and it is best to find some teammates how to ......

During the conversation, the person who had been arranged by Yunshang Arts to help sign the contract arrived.

Help to confirm the sign-off.

For the little chubby dish who is already a diva, but treats her warmly and sincerely, Miwa Yoshida only feels very close to her.

I joined Akina Nakamori's record label very happily.。

In this way, President Nana successfully signed her first singer.

is still a very talented singer with potential.

Of course, Akina Nakamori, who didn't know that she was just a temporary "breeder", rushed home with a sense of accomplishment in her heart and expressed her excitement to Hideki Hanyu.

Hideki Hanyu reminded, "Okay, don't forget the afternoon itinerary." ”

"Oh, I'm so happy that I forgot about it, let's hurry up, it will take a long time to do the styling."

After Akina Nakamori finished speaking, she hurriedly pulled Hideki Hanyu out of the door.

After all, it seems now.

An invitation from the top governor of Tokyo is much more important than signing a new recruit with an unknown future.

Thanks to Chau534 for the 1500 book coin tip.
