Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era
Chapter 166 Pegasus Fantasy
Chapter 166 Pegasus Fantasy
Hideki Hanyu hasn’t come to the office of the president of Yunying Pictures for a while.
After finishing his work on Vitality Girl’s single, he finally had time to come and take a look.
He was not around all the time, and the blue sharks in the big fish tank were still alive and well, so Hirohashi Asako must have arranged for someone to take care of them.
Hideki Hanyu, who hadn’t taken care of them much since he bought a few blue sharks, found a special fish food and prepared to feed them on a whim.
But before he could make a move, he heard a voice coming from the door.
“Someone has already fed them in the morning. If Hanyu-san doesn’t want them to be supported, it’s better not to feed them.”
“It seems that my irresponsible master rarely wants to be responsible once, but I haven’t had the chance yet.”
It was none other than Hirohashi Asako who spoke at the door.
“Sorry, Hanyu-san’s door is not closed.” Hirohashi Asako pointed to the door.
“Asako-san and I don’t have to say such things.”
“I’m not worried about discovering Hanyu-san’s little secret.”
“The door is not closed, what secret can I have?”
When Hideki Hanyu was speaking, Reiko Uemura had already brought in a cup of coffee.
“Is Asako-san looking for something for me?”
Hirohashi Asako has been much busier than him recently, and it is impossible to come here to stop him from feeding the fish.
“Inform Hanyu-san of something, there will be a reception at Shiseido tonight, and Fukuhara, who is closely related to us, specially invited Hanyu-san.”
Hirohashi Asako said, and handed Hanyu Hideki an invitation.
Hanyu Hideki took the invitation and glanced at it, “It’s enough to let us know about this kind of thing, why come here in person.”
“Hanyu-san hasn’t come for such a long time, I want to talk to Hanyu-san.”
When Hirohashi Asako said this, she seemed to think of something, and reminded, “The reception is in the form of a ball tonight, and Hanyu-san should bring a female companion.”
“It’s already this time, where do I go to find a female companion, forget it or not.”
“Is Hanyu-san’s girlfriend not in Tokyo recently?”
Facing Hirohashi Asako’s question, Hanyu Hideki didn’t answer at all and changed the topic directly.
“Didn’t Asako-san want to talk to me about something else?”
When Hirohashi Asako heard this, she immediately felt something was wrong.
Thinking back carefully, Hideki Hanyu’s girlfriend from the Takarazuka Theater Company seems to have not heard news for a while.
According to Hanyu Hideki’s prodigal character, is it going to end again?
The two have known each other for almost a year, even if this time ends, it will also set a new record for Hideki Hanyu’s love time.
But Asako Hirohashi thought of another thing, and didn’t feel like breaking up.
When Hideki Hanyu went to America before, because he took away all the money in his personal account, he asked Yunying Painting to help pay off the credit card bills of the previous quarter.
Among them, the consumption record of the secondary card is very interesting.
In September, only more than 30 yen was swiped on that secondary card.
But in October, the consumption figure reached 96 yen.
After November, the consumption figure directly skyrocketed to 240 million yen.
Although the main places of consumption are in Tokyo, some are also in Takarazuka.
Hirohashi Asako knew without thinking that it was the Chief Takarazuka who swiped the card.
She guessed that the other party could control the consumption desire at the beginning.
But the temptation of money is so easy to resist.
Once consumption starts, it’s hard to stop.
Once you have developed the habit of squandering as you like, it is very difficult to break away from it.
There is an old saying in China that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
If the other party really leaves Hanyu Hideki, can he return to that ordinary life?
This kind of people, especially those who are willing to step on the stage.
Which is not for fame and fortune.
As the president of Yunying Pictures, Asako Hirohashi has seen too many people like this in the entertainment industry.
Glancing at Hideki Hanyu, since she couldn’t guess whether they broke up or not, Asako Hirohashi simply didn’t think about it.
Anyway, for Asako Hirohashi, there is no Hideki Hanyu, an actress from Takarazuka, so what if she is the chief.
In the eyes of Takarazuka’s fans, it is a bit glorious, but in her opinion it is not worth mentioning.
How many actors have been famous since Takarazuka was founded?
But what can those actors do when they become famous?
The best destination is to marry into a rich family.
But for someone as young and promising as Hideki Hanyu, looking at the neon lights of today, he is the only one who counts on his fingers.
Although the Hanyu family is not a wealthy family, it is also a family of education and a scholarly family.
Hanyu Hideki was a best-selling author at a young age, and a national teacher with a high social reputation.
Although the Yunshang Department founded has just started, it also shows great potential.
That Mrs. Tanaka wanted to tie Hanyu Hideki with the daughter of a distant relative.
The opponent’s calculation was pretty good, but it was a pity that he underestimated Hideki Hanyu.
In Hirohashi Asako’s view, Hanyu Hideki is not the kind of person who would be bound by a woman.
With confidence in Hideki Hanyu, Asako Hirohashi stopped worrying about Hideki Hanyu’s relationship issues and talked about work matters.
“Hanyu-san, there is no problem with Genki Girl’s single.”
“It’s been recorded.”
“That’s good. The focus of the club’s work recently is the vitality girl.”
In Hirohashi Asako’s view, the vitality girl created by Hideki Hanyu is really important to Yunyou Pictures.
Not counting the film box office and advertising projects indirectly brought to Yunying Pictures.
Only directly generated benefits are counted.
Up to now, the two singles of Vitality Girl have created more than 600 million shipments in Asia.
The two photobooks that have been released have sold more than 160 million copies.
The school year calendar photobook, which is going to cooperate with the “anan” magazine of Pingfan Publishing House, has more than 30 pre-sales alone.
Then count the advertising endorsement, performance income, and other peripheral income.
The three girls, Vitality Girls, have helped Yunying Pictures create more than 150 billion in sales within half a year of their debut.
And that’s without counting the last single and album.
Asako Hirohashi couldn’t care too much about these three cash cows.
“I originally planned to let them go on a trip, but the schedule was so full.” Hideki Hanyu said.
“Even if you’re not busy, it’s impossible in a short time. Yunshang Arts has already started the first phase of trainee recruitment promotion, and it will officially start after the New Year’s Eve. How can there be staff to arrange their travel.”
“If you can’t travel, then pay more bonus compensation. Is there any plan for Asako-san?”
“Of course, we can decide on Vitality Girl and Alan Tomoko, but Ming Caijiang has to discuss with Warner Pioneer, after all, we must respect the opinions of our partners.”
“Don’t worry, as long as we agree, Pioneer Warner will definitely agree.”
Although Vitality Girl is popular, Nakamori Akina is actually not bad.
It’s just that the momentum overseas is not as big as Vitality Girls.
For Warner Pioneer, Nakamori Akina is also a veritable cash cow.
If there is the support of the firm, it is of course no problem to squeeze it.
But when Yunshang Yineng stood behind Nakamori Akina, Warner Pioneer was very passive.
Of course, it is impossible for Yunshang Arts to put forward any exaggerated figures to embarrass Warner Pioneer.
After all, you still have to abide by the rules of the industry.
At least before getting the share, the artist must not be allowed to be on the leaderboard.
Hanyu Hideki remembered correctly.
In her previous life, Akina Nakamori debuted in 82 and won the record sales championship in 83.
But it was not until four years later, in 86, that Yanyin began to pay dividends, which is considered the conscience of the industry.
After all, throughout the 80s, Akina Nakamori made it into the tax rankings twice.
Seiko Matsuda, who had good grades, never made it to the leaderboard once.
As for other idol singers, they couldn’t even see them.
So to be able to distribute bonuses, Yunshang Arts is already very conscientious in the industry.
“I see, but the personal affairs of the vitality girl are done, and Akina Nakamori has been stuck because of family reasons.”
“Does his family still disagree?”
“It’s still those requirements, you have to work in the firm and you have to get a salary.”
“Leave it to Ming Caijiang to decide, we can’t stop it forever.”
“we can only do this.”
“However, tell the financial side that the money that went into the personal office should not be used by anyone other than Akina sauce.” Hideki Hanyu especially emphasized.
Although Yanyin was kind to Nakamori Akina in her previous life, it is an indisputable fact that she secretly helped the Nakamori family transfer Nakamori Akina’s money.
After all, without the consent of the firm, how could the money in the account be easily transferred by the family.
After talking about the previous things, Asako Hirohashi chatted with Hideki Hanyu about other jobs.
“This year’s star birth is over. If there is no accident, we will cooperate with Warner to sign another player, Suita Asuka.”
Asako Hirohashi said with a smile, “With the lessons learned by Akina Nakamori, I am afraid that Warner Pioneer will not let us participate in the investment again.”
Because he agreed to Yunshang Entertainment to participate in the investment at the beginning, Akina Nakamori now has to share nearly half of his record revenue with Yunshang Entertainment.
Pioneer Warner, especially Si Linchao, who agreed to this matter at the beginning, is now green with regret.
And the most terrible thing is that Yunshang Entertainment also owns part of the original disc rights of Akina Nakamori’s records.
“Asuka Suita?”
Hideki Hanyu didn’t know much about this idol, but the one who impressed him the most was a member of the 83 Street Idols.
Now that it’s on the street, Warner Pioneer won’t let Yunshang Entertainment invest, Hanyu Hideki can’t wait for it.
“This year’s competition is too fierce. The most popular champion, Akiko Matsumoto, was snatched away by Watanabe Productions.”
Speaking of this year’s “A Star Is Born”, Asako Hirohashi regretted not being able to win the most popular contestant.
Hanyu Hideki, who didn’t pay much attention to this year’s “A Star Is Born”, was surprised when he heard this.
“Didn’t Sony’s previous female idol group fail? Why are they still robbing people?”
“Because TV Asahi launched another successful girl group called Warabe on the program, and the debut song ‘Medaka Brothers and Sisters’ sold very well.”
Hirohashi Asako’s explanation made Hideki Hanyu’s thoughts race, and he remembered many things.
If I remember correctly, the song “Medaka Brothers and Sisters” was composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
A musician he liked very much had passed away when he traveled through time.
I still remember that when Ryuichi Sakamoto passed away, Takeshi Kitano said in an interview, “David Bowie is gone, Mr. Sakamoto is gone, and now I am the only one left.”
The “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence”, which made the three of them bond, is about to start filming.
Takeshi Kitano is a very interesting person, and it seems that Yun Shang Pictures can consider cooperating with him.
I was still thinking about what movie to use to collaborate with the young Uncle Yaren again.
With the words of Takeshi Kitano, there is a movie that seems to be very suitable.
That summer, the summer that belonged to Kikujiro.
And that song summer.
……
After Hirohashi Asako finished talking about signing the contract, she talked about other things.
“The movie theater in Sapporo has been refurbished. Counting Tokyo, the central region, the Kansai region, and the Kyushu region, we now have a total of eleven movie theaters.”
“Asako-san’s movements are really fast.” Hideki Hanyu praised.
“Currently the operating conditions of the theaters are not very good. It is not difficult for us to buy them. I plan to integrate these movie theaters to form a small theater chain. If we buy them later, it will be easy to manage.”
Although Hirohashi Asako is a small theater, it is not “small” anymore.
Although the number is small, due to Hideki Hanyu’s request, all theaters purchased must be in big cities with good locations.
Therefore, although the number of theaters is small, the box office output is not small.
“Asako-san seems to be able to do it, I have no objection, but if you buy theaters in the future, you still have to follow my requirements.”
“How can I forget Hanyu-san’s request, big city, good location, you must buy the land together.”
“That’s right, that’s all.”
Hideki Hanyu felt that if the movie theaters got some for the time being, it would be fine if they had a little right to speak.
When the land price is the highest, he will sell them all.
After all, when the bubble burst, it was also when the output of neon movies fell to the bottom.
The entire neon economy in the 90s was in decline, and there were many theaters that could not continue to operate. If you still wanted to control the theaters at that time, it would be a big deal to come back and buy bottoms at that time.
After talking about the movie theater, Asako Hirohashi left quickly.
After all, there is a lot of work at the end of the year, so it is impossible to chat with Hideki Hanyu all the time.
Seeing that it was already noon, Hanyu Hideki thought about going to the reception dance in the evening, so he planned to go back to the master house to rest and gather some energy for the evening.
But when he came to the first floor with the invitation and was about to leave, he found Shota Yoshioka outside the recording studio, talking to Motoki Matsui.
Hanyu Hideki wanted to say hello to Yoshioka Shota before leaving, but when he walked outside the recording studio, he found that Nagato Taiyuki was also in the recording studio.
At this time, the president of Music Fantasy Records, wearing earphones, frowned, and looked into the recording room with a tangled expression.
“What’s the situation?” Hideki Hanyu asked Shota Yoshioka curiously.
“Nagato-san has taken a fancy to Kikuchi Momoko, who was signed before, and wants to form a band with a female lead singer, and bring her over for an audition.”
Hearing what Yoshioka Shota said, Hanyu Hideki tilted his head and looked into the recording room, and found that Kikuchi Momoko was standing inside.
He sort of understood what was going on.
It is estimated that Nagato Taiyuki was “shocked” by Kikuchi Momoko’s singing skills.
Originally, in history, Kikuchi Momoko went through two years of vocal training, and her singing skills after her debut in 84 were at an average level.
Now that they cut off their beards in advance, one can imagine their singing skills.
Although Nagato Taiko is a member of the Appearance Association, he also has requirements for singing skills.
After all, none of the singers released by BEING in later generations can’t play.
“Okay, you can come out.” Nagato Taiko said to Kikuchi Momoko in the recording room.
Hearing this, Kikuchi Momoko walked out of the recording room in frustration.
The girl knew just by looking at Taiko Nagato’s expression that her audition did not satisfy the president of the record company.
However, Nagato Taiko didn’t like Kikuchi Momoko, but Matsui Motoki didn’t think so.
He feels that Kikuchi Momoko has good potential in acting and singing, and with a little training, she will be a high-quality idol.
So I hurried forward to comfort him, for fear that this audition would cast a shadow on the child.
But Matsui Motoki didn’t notice it when he was comforting Kikuchi Momoko.
Kikuchi Momoko’s depression was swept away when she saw the idol Hideki Hanyu.
In fact, Kikuchi Momoko had already seen Hanyu Hideki on the day she was rescued by Zhou Fangyousuke.
But at that time, Kikuchi Momoko was in a panic because of fear.
Not to mention who she saw, she didn’t even know how to get home.
Afterwards, when she calmed down, Kikuchi Momoko found out to her annoyance that she didn’t even say hello to her idol.
She originally thought that she would be able to see Hideki Hanyu often as Shota Yoshioka said after signing the contract with Yunshang Entertainment.
Who knew that Shota Yoshioka was simply lying, the president, Hideki Hanyu, might not be able to come to Yunying to draw once in ten days and half a month.
And as an undebuted artist, her training is not at the headquarters, so it is even more difficult to meet her.
Originally, Kikuchi Momoko had no hope for meeting Hideki Hanyu.
Unexpectedly, she just came to the headquarters for an audition without any preparation, so she ran into Hideki Hanyu just like that.
Kikuchi Momoko was a little annoyed. If she had known that she would meet Hideki Hanyu, she should have brought her treasured record with her.
Ask Hanyu Hideki to sign her.
Matsui Motoki comforted Kikuchi Momoko, while Yoshioka Shota comforted Nagato Taiyuki.
“It won’t work this time. Nagato-san will choose again when we recruit in the next year. There must be a suitable one.”
“That’s all it takes.”
After Nagato Taiko finished speaking, he happened to find Hanyu Hideki standing outside the door, and hurried over to say hello.
“I didn’t expect that I would bring people to audition, and even President Hanyu would be shocked.”
“President Nagato plans to introduce new people, of course I have to pay attention.”
At this time, Hanyu Hideki couldn’t say that he was just passing by.
Taiko Nagato has always wanted to promote newcomers, and Hideki Hanyu also knows.
Although MF Records has successfully helped Yalan Zhizi become popular, but the most business is the soundtrack, or for other singers.
For example, the theatrical version of “Saint Seiya” is being produced, and MF Records is responsible for the soundtrack.
There is also the new album of Vitality Girl, and one song is also provided by MF Records.
“I have never met a suitable one, and I am a little regretful.”
Taiko Nagato looked at Hideki Hanyu when he said this.
He thinks that Hideki Hanyu is very suitable to be the lead singer of the band.
But he had no choice but to dare not speak.
While the two were talking, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far to near.
Immediately after, a woman’s voice sounded, “President Nagato, I finally found you. After thinking twice, the theme song is still inappropriate.”
Hanyu Hideki heard the voice and turned his head to look.
It was found that the person who spoke was a woman with an upper-class appearance and an intellectual temperament.
This woman, Hideki Hanyu, knew her because she was the animation supervisor who was kidnapped by his “excellent” employee from the production company under Fuji TV.
The other party’s name is Tomoka Kawauchi, and the “Saint Seiya” that is being produced is supervised by the other party.
After Kawauchi Tomoka finished speaking, he realized that Hanyu Hideki and the others were also there, and hurriedly greeted them.
“President Hanyu, Minister Yoshioka, Matsui-san, hello.”
“Supervisor Kawauchi, it’s about this time. That’s already the fifth theme song we’ve provided. If you’re not satisfied, there’s nothing I can do.”
“I don’t care. Anyway, you are responsible for the soundtrack. I only ask you for the theme song.”
Chika Kawauchi’s temperament seems to be quite intellectual, but when he does things, he has a pungent temper.
But the other party was able to break out from a bunch of men in the production company and take the supervisory position, so he definitely wouldn’t be a limp person.
“Supervisor Kawauchi, please give me some more time.”
Nagato Taiko is also quite a headache for this Kawauchi supervisor.
“Fuji TV has confirmed that it will be released on January 20, and it will take less than [-] days to succeed the animation at [-]:[-] on Monday. If Nagato-san can’t come up with a better one, I can only learn from the previous song. Choose one.”
Hanyu Hideki heard that the two were talking about the theme song of “Saint Seiya”, so he asked.
“Can you listen to the previous five songs?”
Hideki Hanyu was very curious about how bad the songs provided by MF Records were, and the five capitals did not satisfy Tomoka Kawauchi.
“Of course, President Hanyu wait a moment.”
After Kawauchi Tomoka finished speaking, he left in a hurry, and then came back not long after.
Holding several tapes in hand.
At this moment, several people were standing next to the recording studio. Hideki Hanyu picked up the tape and entered the recording studio, plugged it into the equipment and played it.
The music started, and he listened to it one after another.
After all the broadcasts were over, Hideki Hanyu couldn’t help frowning.
No wonder Chika Kawauchi is not satisfied with these five songs.
It cannot be said that the songs provided by Taiko Nagato are not good.
On the contrary, all five songs can be called excellent.
But the problem is that although these songs are excellent, they are not suitable for the hot-blooded anime “Saint Seiya”.
In particular, Taiko Nagato let Yalan Zhizi sing all five songs in line with the plan of not letting his wealth go to outsiders.
Yalan Zhizi’s psychedelic singing style is used to sing the theme song of the hot-blooded anime. Just thinking about it, you can see how inconsistent it is.
This Nagato Taiko is really messing around, thinking that everyone is Daikoku Moji, it is Sakai spring water!
Originally Yunshang Animation produced “Saint Seiya”, but he never thought of getting involved.
Because his manga script was originally created by combining manga and anime.
As long as the production team makes TV animations according to the original work, the effect will definitely not be bad.
As for the theme song.
In his opinion, animation makes the theme song, not the theme song makes the animation.
Because the TV animation of “Magic Snack Shop” is like this.
The song that didn’t appear in the previous life was not because of the influence of the TV animation “Magic Snack Shop”, which helped Yalan Zhizi become popular.
But now after listening to these five songs, his idea was ruthlessly overturned.
It seems that not to intervene is not enough.
He took out the tape and handed it back to Tomoka Kawauchi, then turned around and asked Shota Yoshioka who hadn’t left.
“Does Yoshioka-san know anyone from Columbia Records?”
“I’m not familiar with it, but when I made the Fujiya candy advertisement, I worked with Yoshie Kashiwahara, a subsidiary of Columbia, and I have their contact information.” Shota Yoshioka replied.
“Then please Yoshioka-san contact Columbia Records and ask for the contact information of Loudness Band for me.”
“Now?” Yoshioka Shota asked.
“The sooner the better, I’ll wait for you in the piano room.” Hanyu Hideki said.
“Then I’ll contact you right away.” Although Shota Yoshioka didn’t know what Hanyu Hideki was going to do, he still did as he was told.
Seeing Yoshioka Shota leave, Hanyu Hideki said to Kawauchi Tomoka who didn’t know what he wanted to do.
“Supervisor Kawauchi, I will give you news about the theme song of Saint Seiya within two days.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Tomoyo Kawauchi, who saw Hideki Hanyu doing this for the first time, was a little uncomfortable.
Hanyu Hideki didn’t explain much, turned around and walked towards the piano room.
However, Hideki Hanyu, who was leaving in a hurry, didn’t notice that Momoko Kikuchi, who was standing with Motoki Matsui in the distance, seemed to open his mouth to stop him.
But the little girl looked at so many people around her, but in the end she still didn’t speak.
I can only feel annoyed in my heart again, why I failed to express my heart to the idol.
After Hanyu Hideki left, Nagato Taiyuki breathed a sigh of relief.
Nagato Taiyuki, who has seen Hanyu Hideki’s creative ability, knows that with Hanyu Hideki’s shot, Kawauchi Tomoyo will not come to “trouble” him in the future.
“Supervisor Kawauchi, since Chairman Hanyu said to give him the theme song, don’t worry, you will never be disappointed.”
“President Nagato has so much confidence in the chairman?” Tomoyo Kawauchi asked curiously.
“Didn’t Chairman Hanyu say that you will give me the news within two days, and then Superintendent Kawauchi will know.”
After Nagato Taiko finished speaking, he left without incident.
“Taozi, let’s go too, there is still a vocal class in Suginami District this afternoon.”
Motoki Matsui said to Momoko Kikuchi.
“Okay.” Kikuchi Momoko, who hadn’t been able to talk to her idol, responded in a low-interest manner.
Motoki Matsui thought that Kikuchi Momoko was like this because she was not selected by Nagato Taiyuki, and comforted him kindly.
“Taozi, it doesn’t matter. With your talent, as long as you train hard, you will definitely make your debut.”
“I’ll train hard.”
Faced with Matsui Motoki’s kindness, Kikuchi Momoko could only summon up her strength to answer.
Outside the recording studio, Kawauchi Zhijia found that everyone was gone, and left in a hurry.
After all, the production pressure of “Saint Seiya” is not small, and she has no time to waste.
In the piano room on the first floor of Yunying Picture Building, Hanyu Hideki was sitting in front of a synthesizer.
While pressing the notes, humming gently, while recording with a pen.
Hug tightly, the small universe of the soul
Enthusiasm burns, miracles are created
……
What he is preparing right now is the most classic theme song of “Saint Seiya”.
“Pegasus Fantasy”
When Shota Yoshioka walked into the piano room with the contact information he got from Columbia Records, Hideki Hanyu just wrote down the last part.
“Hanyu-san, this is the contact information of the loudness band you want, they will be able to answer the phone right now, do you want to contact now?”
When Shota Yoshioka handed Hideki Hanyu the phone number from the band Loudness, he happened to see the sheet music written by Hideki Hanyu.
Shota Yoshioka seemed to have guessed something, and asked Hideki Hanyu, “Is this the theme song you prepared for Saint Seiya?”
“Yes.” Hideki Hanyu replied.
After all, Shota Yoshioka had formed a band before, so he picked up the sheet music and read it, humming a few lines from time to time while reading it.
“The fantasy of Pegasus is only a dream…Saint Seiya, the warrior of tomorrow…”
Seeing that Shota Yoshioka was watching, Hideki Hanyu didn’t rush.
Anyway, it didn’t take long for him to finish writing. Even if he waited for a while, he wouldn’t delay going to the reception dance at night.
Finally, Shota Yoshioka finished watching.
Shota Yoshioka, who has long been familiar with Hideki Hanyu’s creative ability, was not too excited, but praised.
“Hanyu-san is worthy of being the original author of the manga. This song is completely tailor-made for TV animation. If I knew that Hanyu-san could write such a theme song, there would be no need for Director Kawauchi to torment Nagato-san again and again. “
But speaking of this, Yoshioka Shota asked strangely.
“Since Hideki Hanyu has already written a good song, what do you need the contact information of Loudness Band?”
Hideki Hanyu replied, “Of course I need to find a singer for this song. I can’t learn from President Nagato and let Tomoko Alan sing this kind of song.”
“Hayu-san is going to let the loudness band sing this song?” Shota Yoshioka asked.
“No, I just want to find another person through Loudness Band.”
Hideki Hanyu couldn’t tell Shota Yoshioka that what he was looking for was the original singer of “Pegasus Fantasy”.
After explaining to Shota Yoshioka, Hideki Hanyu put away the sheet music, “Let’s go, contact the band Loudness.”
Hanyu Hideki and Yoshioka Shota came to the phone at the front desk on the first floor.
During the cautious salute by the receptionist, she asked for a phone call and dialed the number that Shota Yoshioka was coming to.
“Hello, this is the band Loudness. I’m Sotaka Higuchi. Who can I find?”
“Higuchi-san, hello, I’m a staff member of YM Records under Yunying Pictures, just call me Matsushita.”
Hanyu Hideki did not tell the other party his identity, after all, the person he was looking for might not have debuted yet.
He was the dignified president of the Yunshang Department who contacted him personally, which was a bit weird no matter how you looked at it.
So directly borrowed Matsushita Katsuhito’s surname.
“Hi Matsushita-san, just now Columbia Records said that your people are looking for me, do you know what’s the matter?”
“Does Higuchi-san know a singer named Nobuo Yamada?”
“Huh? How did Matsushita-san know that I know Yamada?”
“I heard from a friend who plays in a band, and I heard that you gave him the name of your previous band.”
“That’s right, my band was called MAKE-UP before it debuted, and it was transferred to Yamada-san’s band after debut. Is there anything Matsushita-san can do with Yamada-san?”
“I have a song here. My friend said that Yamada-san’s singing style is more suitable. I want to ask him to audition. I don’t know where Yamada-san is now?”
“Well, MAKE-UP is currently active in Osaka, but I don’t know the exact location. I have the contact information of his manager. You can contact his manager.”
“Is MAKE-UP signed to a record label yet?”
Hearing the manager, Hanyu Hideki frowned.
It’s not that you can’t cooperate with a record company if you sign with a record company.
It’s very troublesome for a neon singer to cooperate across record companies.
It often takes a long time to discuss the content of cooperation, but what they lack now is time.
However, what Higuchi Munetaka said next made him feel relieved.
“No, they’re still an underground band.”
“So that’s the case, then please Higuchi-san give me the contact information of MAKE-UP’s manager.”
“Okay, please record Matsushita-san, the number is…”
Munetaka Higuchi said over there that Hideki Hanyu asked the receptionist for a pen and paper, and quickly recorded it.
After writing it down, Hanyu Hideki thanked Higuchi Munetaka, “Thank you Higuchi-san.”
“You’re welcome, MAKE-UP is actually very capable, I hope Matsushita-san can give them more opportunities.”
In this era, when idols are in power, it is not yet the era of bands.
It is extremely difficult for the band to get ahead.
Therefore, Munetaka Higuchi learned that the record company affiliated to Yunying Pictures wanted to find MAKE-UP to audition, and hoped that MAKE-UP would be signed by Yunying Pictures.
Although Yun Shang Pictures has not been established for a long time, its strength is not bad at all.
So I couldn’t help but say the last word.
“Don’t worry, Higuchi-san, if they are suitable, I will give them a chance.”
“Then thank you Matsushita-san.”
……
In Osaka City, a bar called Youth Swing is preparing for its opening.
Suddenly there was a quarrel from the bar.
“Bastard, what the hell was your guy singing last night? After being said a few words by the guest, he even talked back to the guest. My guest ran away angrily and wanted the performance fee. You should compensate me for the loss!”
“That’s because that guy insulted my band first!”
“Don’t tell me these things, get out of here quickly! Otherwise, I’ll ask someone to throw you out!”
“Bastard, don’t keep your promise! We won’t perform again in the future…”
I saw a man in a black suit come out of the bar cursing.
After leaving the door, he spat hard at the door after scolding.
Leaving the entrance of the bar, the man in the suit walked to the side of the road, where five men stood crookedly.
Compared with the men in suits, these five people’s dresses are much different. Not to mention their long hair, leather jackets and pants, the standard rock band style.
Among the five, the head of the man’s mid-length hair was dyed golden.
Seeing the man in the suit coming, he said with a smile, “I told you not to go, Takeshita Sangfei is going, let’s start a fight.”
“If Yamada-san had put away his temper last night, I wouldn’t have quarreled just now, but got the performance fee.”
After the man in the suit called Takeshita finished speaking, he happened to see the billboard on the side of the road.
Hanging there is a poster of Vitality Girl, which is the promotional advertisement for the new single “Happy Battle”.
“You guys, it will be great when I can be as popular as the vitality girl, and I won’t have to give up smiling faces all day long.”
“We are a rock band, not idols.” Yamada said angrily.
“you……”
The man in the suit Takeshita was about to refute, but he heard the pager ring.
When I picked it up, I found it was an unfamiliar number.
“Unfamiliar number, maybe it’s a performance invitation.”
Takeshita, the man in a suit, said excitedly.
Huangmao Yamada glanced at the number displayed on the pager and said, “It’s Tokyo’s number. When did Takeshita-san know the boss in Tokyo?”
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s Tokyo or Osaka, as long as you can make money, if you don’t make money, we won’t be able to pay the rent.”
After Takeshita finished speaking, he prepared to take out coins and go to the public telephone booth to call back.
After touching for a long time, I found that there was no money.
“Strange, I obviously still have a few coins.”
Hearing the words, Yamada next to him said embarrassedly, “Is it the coin in the jacket? It was used to buy the sushi that everyone ate in the morning.”
“Stupid, that’s what I keep for calling. If anyone has coins, give them to me quickly.”
“Oh, don’t mess around, I don’t have any money with me.”
……
I really can’t move, there are only 9000 words today, sorry.
