Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

Page 84

When he suddenly faced her at home, she always turned her head quickly or turned away immediately, as if deliberately avoiding eye contact with him.

This situation lasted for several days, making Watanabe Hideyuki feel even more depressed.

He wanted to use the [Mind Reading Skill Experience Card (1 Day)] to communicate with Kitajima Miyuki, but he could never find a good opportunity.

So this matter has been put on hold.

Time passes quietly in the dull daily life.

until…

“かっこいいから好きなんじゃない.

I didn’t fall in love with you because you’re handsome.”

Watanabe Hideyuki sat in front of the computer desk and clicked on the second video on Kuroda Arisa’s account that had just been uploaded a few days ago.

“Okay” (because I like you so much)

The prelude is accompanied by Arisa Kuroda’s youthful, clean and pure voice.

It’s like listening to fairy music and your ears are temporarily bright!

“It’s because I like it that it’s so handsome

I don’t mind being treated as an idiot.

Because you are my hero

I hope you can turn back

I hope you’ll notice me

Sprayed with perfume

But only I smell it

I really want you

I really want to be your other half

“Tomorrow for sure.”

Fantasizing in bed

Thinking of you

Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow

… “

The light melody coupled with the gentle and lovely female voice ensures that no matter how many times the song is played on repeat, the listeners will never get tired of it.

And the more you listen to this song, the more it evokes people’s yearning for the beautiful moments in their memories such as youth and love.

Everyone has been young, and as they get older, they all yearn to return to their youth. So when most people see what young people are experiencing, they will smile knowingly.

“Wow. Youth is so good~ When I was young…”

Coupled with the lyrics “I don’t like you because you’re handsome, you’re handsome because I like you”, “I don’t like you because you’re cute, you’re cute because I like you”, and “It doesn’t matter who looks down on me, because you’re my [hero] [heroine]”, it fully expresses the pure and beautiful feelings of adolescent boys and girls, and the innocent love for each other even if they are laughed at by others.

At the same time, the lyrics of the whole song tend to progress layer by layer.

From personal feelings to the private lives of the boys and girls, as the melody quickens, the feelings of the boys and girls become stronger.

Finally the music reaches a high pitch and the tune becomes more radical.

Young boys and girls began to practice ways to express their love and dressed themselves up every day, hoping to attract the other person’s attention.

This is more of a story than a song.

This is a story about the experiences of teenage boys and girls.

At this moment, Arisa Kuroda transformed from a singer into a storyteller. Simply through singing, she told the emotional experiences of a boy and girl in their youth, dissecting their delicate inner world and allowing the audience to hear the sincere and passionate emotions deep in their hearts.

When Watanabe Hideyuki uploaded the video, he expected that the song would become a hit, but he did not expect it to become a hit so quickly.

In her previous life, this song was Yuika’s first song, and now, Kuroda Arisa already has the pink foundation and traffic popularity accumulated by “Dinner Song” as her first song. Now thinking about it, it seems natural that this song would become popular on the Internet at such a fast speed.

Watanabe Hideyuki pulled the progress bar and carefully browsed the barrage in the video and the comments below.

“I really want to fall in love~”

“I’m addicted to romance after listening to this, so I’m punishing myself by watching two episodes of Dismemberment.”

“I found a very interesting detail. When the song reaches the 45s-46s “Saying ‘goodbye.’ Talking to myself like this”, the two “goodbyes” are heard in the left channel of the headphones, just like someone you like whispering in your ear. I suddenly discovered this when I was wearing headphones today. This is awesome!!”

This is the credit of Watanabe Hideyuki in his later years.

“When you wake up, you have two choices: one is to cover yourself with the quilt and dream your unfinished dream, the other is to lift up the quilt and finish your unfinished dream.”

“I just realized that Sunlight’s two songs were all written and composed by one person! He is really a talented music producer!

“I love Sunlight! I look forward to Sunlight’s next work!”

“I want to send this song to the girl I like, but unfortunately I don’t have the courage. Yesterday she posted on WeChat Moments saying that she is a slow-moving type. I checked online and all I saw was that this is a rejection… I really don’t know whether I should continue. I’ll set a flag. If it gets more than 999 likes, it means that she and I are just one step away from success, and I will send this song to her as the last 1. If it doesn’t get 999 likes, then let’s just assume that we are not destined to be together and missed each other.”

Watanabe Hideyuki read the comment carefully, then stretched out his thumb and gently pressed the little red heart on the screen.

He watched as the “998” behind the little red heart jumped to “999”, and then he smiled with satisfaction.

Joker, go ahead, Batman has left Gotham City, and there are no more enemies of yours in Gotham City now.

This song has exceeded one million views in just a few days.

It also brought nearly half the increase in the number of fans of Arisa Kuroda.

The backend of this account is now in a mess.

What attracts Watanabe Hideyuki the most is the messages sent to him by V-certified YouTubers.

Some of them are looking for collaboration, to shoot a video or sing a song together.

Others are music critics who greet him in advance when reposting his song as a review.

There are also some requests for cover songs and secondary creations.

Intellectual property protection is very strict in Japan. As long as the work is marked as original, secondary creation or cover performance must pay copyright fees to the author.

To some extent.

This is indeed far ahead.

Certain infringements with blurred boundaries can be avoided.

For these actions, Watanabe Hideyuki only charged a small amount of fees. If it was a commercial act, a matching amount would be quoted based on the specific business activities.

In addition to these private messages.

Several well-known companies have also made further transaction requests – purchasing the copyright of the songs.

Buying a song and paying copyright fees to cover it are two completely different concepts.

From a legal perspective, paying for a song is equivalent to transferring the copyright of the entire song.

The company that pays for the song will usually let its artists cover the song and keep the copyright and related rights of the song firmly in its own hands.

In fact, this is a win-win situation.

Creators can monetize their talents in a timely manner and earn a lot of money, while media companies will develop better.

Of course, it is impossible for Hideyuki Watanabe to sell the copyright of the song.

He can take on some custom song creation for the company’s artists, but it is impossible for him to exhaust all the resources and sell off several representative works of Arisa Kuroda just after her debut.

So he rejected those inquiries one by one.

The remaining private messages all came from large brokerage agencies in Japan.

Some firms even give B or A signatures.

This means that if Arisa Kuroda signs an agency contract with them, they are willing to allocate some resources to this newcomer, which is a very rare thing.

Behind the abundant resources are huge constraints.

Watanabe Hideyuki carefully read the contracts proposed by the brokerage firms.

The earliest termination time is ten years later.

Watanabe Hideyuki understands the mentality of the agency. They don’t want to invest a lot of resources to cultivate a top actress only to use her as a wedding dress for someone else.

just.

The time to terminate the contract is really too long, and it is hard to avoid feeling like one is being controlled by others.

Once there is a disagreement between Arisa Kuroda and the agency.

The management agency can use the contract as a threat, and they can unconditionally put the artist on ice for ten years according to the contract.

This is an unimaginable nightmare for artists.

How many decades do we have in life?

Even if the probability is very small, Watanabe Hideyuki is unwilling to let Kuroda Arisa take the risk.

If she was hidden, he would lose all his money.

At the same time, Watanabe Hideyuki thought of something.

He needs to register a brokerage firm.

This will make it easier to connect with Arisa Kuroda’s future business and various activities.

This is also an indispensable prefix in future development.

Whether it is transferring money or paying wages, the firm’s accounts can be used, the bills are clear and concise, and you can even avoid taxes reasonably, killing two birds with one stone.

As the saying goes, action speaks louder than words.

Hideyuki Watanabe found a relatively well-known office nearby on Google Maps.

After consulting on the relevant legal issues, he directly entrusted the matter to the agent.

The agent took the necessary information he provided and successfully completed the matter flawlessly in just one afternoon.
