Chapter 363 Arrive in Tokyo
"This time, in order to explore the Japanese market, the company reached a cooperation agreement with Echo Records, the top five record company in Japan. A Japanese idol group under Echo Records will borrow our company's resources and connections in China to conduct performing activities, while you will borrow Echo Records' connections and channels in Japan to conduct promotional activities."
On the flight to Tokyo, Liu Yunqing sat next to Ye Weiyang and was explaining the situation to him.
Originally, relying solely on the Rainbow Plan, it was actually impossible to bring the band to the Japanese market.
The Rainbow Project is just a Chinese artist agency. Although it is not small in size, it can’t reach its tentacles abroad. So if you want to promote the non-closed band to the Japanese market, you can only cooperate with Japanese local record companies.
The Japanese specialty of the band that is open this time is actually a cooperation with the influential Echo Record Group in Japan. Echo is responsible for the promotion and promotion of the band in Japan and helps them arrange influential announcements. The profit of this record is also divided into part of the Echo.
At the same time, Echo Records is also interested in the Chinese market and needs Rainbow Plan to help their artists carry out activities in China.
Speaking of which, it is a resource replacement in the industry, but this time it is a cross-border resource replacement.
After the two companies signed the cooperation agreement, Echo Records immediately helped the non-closed band to arrange the performance of the "MUSIC STATION" program through their connections and channels. The first stage of their daily title song will be released in this program.
The program "MUSIC STATION" is a veteran music program of Japan's Asahi TV. It started on Asahi TV every Friday at 8 p.m. on Friday. It has been aired for almost 40 years, and it is much longer than any program in China.
And even though this show has been aired for so long, it is still one of the most influential and highest-rated music programs in Japan.
Japanese first-line stars and even European and American singers will appear, from local first-line singers to Asian superstars, to internationally renowned singers, all of them have appeared on this show.
There have been many Hong Kong and Taiwan singers in China who have appeared in this show.
The cast is very strong!
The very famous Japanese Red and White Song Festival is the year-end concert of this program.
The Red and White Song Club has an influential influence throughout Asia and is considered the most famous music program in Japan.
As a new band that is famous in China and has two foreign language songs in Japan and the European Union, if it is a local band in Japan, then it will definitely be qualified to play "MUSIC STATION".
However, as a foreign band that has not even been released in Japanese, it would be difficult to talk about this announcement if it weren't for the echo record without clearing the relationship, just relying on the Rainbow Plan.
The benefits of cooperation between the two parties are still very obvious.
Departing from Canton, after stopping in the Magic City, they flew directly to Tokyo. After a few hours, the band successfully landed at Tokyo International Airport. They passed the entry inspection with their passport and visa. After receiving their luggage, they took the pickup arranged by Echo Company and checked in to a large hotel in the center of Tokyo.
From landing to check-in, there were staff from Echo Records throughout the process. Liu Yunqing was arranged in a perfect way without even saying a word, and they were arranged properly, which felt like a local snake showed off her abilities.
Ye Weiyang and the others were quite satisfied with this.
It is very helpful to the body and mind to be able to be cared for intimately in a foreign country where you are unfamiliar with your own place.
"Several teachers from the band who are open, the "MUSIC STATION" program is broadcast in the form of live broadcast. At 5 pm tomorrow, the company's vehicles will pick you up to Asahi TV Station to record the program."
"This is Rina Takayama. He will be your agent working in Japan and communicate with you on artist brokers. I hope you can get along well."
After a middle-aged staff member with a mustache and checked into the hotel with a band that was open, he introduced him to Ye Weiyang and the others with a young girl in OL costume.
"Hello, teachers, I am Takarina Takariya. I will be your executive agent in Japan. Please take care of me for the first time when we meet!"
Rina Takayasu, who had a tall single ponytail, smiled sweetly, bowed ninety degrees to Ye Weiyang and the others, and gave a simple self-introduction.
This solemn bow caught Ye Weiyang and the others off guard. How could they give back the gift? Should they bow back?
Although the Japanese etiquette culture is also inherited from Confucianism, China, the birthplace of Confucianism, does not engage in this bowing culture. Ye Weiyang and Puding are not very adaptable.
Fortunately, Rina Takayasu is an excellent working woman who knows how to observe her expressions. After she raised her head, she immediately reached out and shook hands with Ye Weiyang and others one by one, immediately dispelling the awkward atmosphere that was about to rise between them.
Liu Yunqing also felt a sense of crisis for the first time. An unprecedented business smile appeared on her face. She warmly greeted Takararina Takara and learned from her about the work of the band in Japan.
Rina Takayama's Chinese is very good, without any accent, just like an authentic Chinese native, and soon started chatting with Liu Yunqing about artist agency.
Although Liu Yunqing is an excellent Chinese agent, the Japanese entertainment industry and the Chinese entertainment industry are very different. From some strange unspoken rules and in-circle culture to the artist broker exchanges and work arrangements with the event parties, they are completely different.
With this in mind, Echo Records arranged a local agent for the non-closing band to be responsible for their work handling of their activities in Japan.
Liu Yunqing is more of a life manager in the band who is open, responsible for the internal work of the band.
In the next days, one externally and the other internally, the two agents will jointly undertake the work and life of the band during their activities in Japan.
In addition to Rina Takayasu, Echo Records also arranged a working team of seven people for the non-closing band.
In addition to their personal assistants, Guan Qing and Tang Mei who came from China, all the staff responsible for clothing, styling, security, external communication, publicity and other work have been arranged locally.
There is no way, domestic staff don’t understand or adapt to the routines in the entertainment industry in Japan.
Not to mention that they are not moving, even the bands that are not closed themselves do not understand, they must start from scratch.
