Tao Zhiming is not sure whether Sakai Izumi will attach great importance to money after he becomes famous in the future. In fact, for many celebrities, it is normal to hope that they are very famous, have as much exposure as possible, and have as many cooperations as possible.

But Tao Zhiming doesn't have much idea of ​​making money from artists. All he wants is the copyright. Therefore, the contract WanderDane signed with them is actually much better than other companies in terms of share ratio.

Tao Zhiming didn't know if this was considered a violation of the rules, but he didn't care.

In the current entertainment circle, there are not many people who can challenge his strength.

The banquet caused a certain sensation in the Palace Hotel. Although there was no publicity, there were many singers and idols present, and they were recognized by many people.

Fortunately, the security guards at the door maintained the tranquility in the banquet hall.

These security guards, Tao Zhiming, are now very used to them. They are all Yazazas with a relatively calm personality in the security dispatch club established by Kazuji Inagawa under his suggestion to formalize the operation of the Inakawa Group.

However, the origins of these security guards fell into the eyes of other music industry bosses, music producers and singer idols in the banquet hall, and they inevitably had some extra thoughts about Tao Zhiming.

Although it's not like they have never dealt with Yapants, it's really rare to find people like Tao Zhiming who don't avoid taboos.

But in my heart, I'm still playing drums. Everyone has a friendly attitude toward this young man who suddenly broke into the music industry and caused a lot of discussion.

In the self-service banquet hall, Tao Zhiming met Bunta Hirakawa, the president of Neon Warner, and chatted with him for a while: "Isn't Miss Nakamori here?"

"...I heard that Johnny & Associates was also invited, so..." Bunta Hirakawa looked at Kitagawa not far away, and said helplessly, "President Tao is very concerned about Akina. In fact, she should also know that no matter what

But Masahiko Kondo won't be here. Please forgive me, she is spending all her energy on music now."

Of course Tao Zhiming is not obsessed with this, but he still needs to be polite, so he talks about her: "This is a good thing. I look forward to Miss Nakamori returning to everyone's attention with that song at the music festival."

Bunta Hirakawa's eyes were bright, and he said sincerely: "Thank you very much, Chairman Tao, for taking the initiative. I am very confident that the song will reach the top of the Oricon chart."

"President Pingchuan, why are you on the top of the public trust list?" The man who came over with a goblet looked a little fat, and then introduced himself to Tao Zhiming with a smile, "President Tao, I am very honored to receive the invitation from your company.

My name is Yasushi Akimoto, and I am currently cooperating with Fuji TV on a variety show..."

"I've heard about it for a long time." Tao Zhiming said to him with a smile, "Qiu Yuanjun's creativity is very powerful. As a lyricist, Qiu Yuanjun is both productive and unique."

Qiu Yuanyasu asked with a smile: "Has President Tao also paid attention to our kitten club?"

When Bunta Hirakawa saw them chatting, he said "I'm sorry", then looked at Yasushi Akimoto indifferently, and walked away to find others.

Qiu Yuanyasu was a little helpless.

Tao Zhiming looked at his reaction and found it interesting. How should I put it? Both Akimoto Yasushi and Kitagawa are people with their own routines. The former is unique in cultivating girl groups, while Houzu loves fresh boy groups.

If I remember correctly, it seems that Kimura Takuya is already being trained by Kitagawa and will make his debut next year.

Tao Zhiming thought about how he wanted to end the trend of Xiaoxianrou. He didn't know how to do it.

To put it bluntly, its formation is certainly due to Kitagawa's ability to package, but it is also because women tend to consume harmless male sex when the economy is booming.

So let’s just label this form of practice from the beginning: Fencer.

We have to find a suitable time for Shukan Bunshun and Kitagawa to get started.

He smiled and said to Qiu Yuanyasu: "Of course I have been paying attention to you. Qiu Yuanjun, but now I heard that the situation is not good?"

Qiu Yuanyasu sighed: "Yes, but this attempt was generally very successful. President Tao's invitation to this music festival also gave them an extra opportunity. If there is no improvement this time, we

We are indeed preparing to disband.”

"Really? That's a pity." Tao Zhiming said politely. Frankly speaking, this girl group has a great influence. But how to put it, young and beautiful female idols themselves have their own huge market and inertia.

Secondly... Tao Zhiming thought that after the Internet develops, he can prevent this kind of thing from developing abnormally by controlling the traffic.

The audience for popular videos is mainly impulsive girls. As for girl groups... although they have a lot of female fans, it's okay.

"Chairman Tao, what did President Hirakawa just talk about reaching the top of the Oricon Chart? WanderDane, do you have any new singles?" Yasushi Akimoto was frustrated that Kitty Club could not have another number one single.

.

"Not recently." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "It's a single composed for Miss Nakamori."

"...In the promotion of the music festival, it was said that the new single that Miss Nakamori will sing for the first time at the music festival is a collaboration between WanderDane and Neon Warner?" Yasushi Akimoto was a little surprised. WanderDane cooperates with other concert companies. This

This is really the first time I heard of it.

"Yes."

After hearing Tao Zhiming's calm reply, Qiu Yuankang's heart moved, and then he waved not far away. Tao Zhiming saw two young girls walking over timidly, one with a sharp chin, the other with a pure face.

Yasushi Akimoto introduced: "President Tao, these are the two members who I think have great potential to become solo singers. Sonoko Kawai and Shizuka Kudo, please say hello to President Tao."

Tao Zhiming smiled as he watched the two girls bend down to say hello to him and nodded.

In terms of later fame, Kudo Shizuka was more famous than Kawai Sonoko, after all, Kimura Takuya's wife. However, based on his current perception, he felt that the quieter Kawai Sonoko was much more attractive.

Probably not too interested in Kudo Shizuka's wilder and more mature persona at this time, and this hairstyle is a bit too wanton.

Yasushi Akimoto said: "I admire WanderDane's music production ability very much. President Tao, although the lyrics I create now are a bit more popular, in fact they are done so deliberately. I don't know if we have this and WanderDane

It's an honor to cooperate..."

Tao Zhiming shook his head: "I'm sorry. Miss Zhongmori made an exception for that song because of some special reasons."

"...That's it." Yasushi Akimoto looked regretful, and then changed the subject, "Then, the Kitten Club will definitely perform seriously at the music festival."

Akimoto Yasushi looked at Kawai Sonoko and thought that this child was not willing to be just an idol now and wanted to become a singer-songwriter. If WanderDane had this intention by then, they could talk about transferring the contract to them, which would be a good thing for her.

I can finally make another profit.

Tao Zhiming didn't stay here much, he just smiled at the two very young girls who had just debuted, and went to talk to others.

Akimoto Yasushi and his two girls actually felt quite marginal treatment in this circle.

He was also helpless. The selling point of Kitten Club was randomly selected high school students from the neighborhood. Most of these idols had poor singing and dancing skills. Coupled with the childish style of the music and the side-stepping H lyrics, it obviously caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

It is a small sensation, but it is not very recognized by these mainstream musicians.

After much deliberation, he decided to take the two girls to communicate with the president and singers of WanderDane.

Tao Zhiming went to find Kitagawa. After a few pleasantries, he asked him: "What are you busy with, Masato-kun? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"President Tao, do you want to meet Tao Sang again?"

Hearing him call me daddy so openly, Tao Zhiming thought to himself, why don't you call me that?

"Yes. I'll contact Masato-kun later and we'll get together in Hokkaido." Tao Zhiming looked at Kitagawa with a half-smile, "I heard that Johnny & Associates is preparing a new group?"

"Yes." Kitagawa was not surprised that he was well-informed, "I plan to make my official debut early next year."

"Then I wish President Kita all the best."

Seeing him nod and leave, Kitagawa just felt that the statement that everything went well... the tone was strange.

But the lead singer of their band WanderDane is really a handsome boy who fits the Johnny & Associates direction very well.

Tao Zhiming left no one behind, and everyone who came to the banquet chatted more or less.

Finally, I looked at Origuchi Masahiro and Nakamura Keiji and saw that there were many people surrounding them. Sakai Izumi looked very embarrassed, so Tao Zhiming simply walked over.

As a result, when he got closer, he saw Yasushi Akimoto and many other music producers looking at him with shocked and complicated expressions.

"That Momonosuke is President Tao himself?" Yasushi Akimoto recalled so many songs released by WanderDane, and thought of the legend of Tao Dalang in Tokyo now, and wondered how could there be such a person in the world?

Not only is he the most well-known rich man among the younger generation, he was born in Tokyo University, and he also has such musical talent.

Tao Zhiming looked at Nakamura Keiji and saw him saying sarcastically: "...Everyone is asking if we can cooperate, but there is really no way."

"So it's really impossible to cooperate." Tao Zhiming smiled at them, "I don't have that much time to spend on music creation."

In fact, after learning that Momonosuke, the composer of WanderDane's songs, was Tao Chiming himself, these people had indeed given up the idea.

He's not short of money, maybe it's just a hobby? Besides, he has Dimension Culture in his name, and he has the wealth of WanderDane and Onodera. With such a huge corporate group, how can he have so much time to do these things?

No wonder WanderDane hasn’t had any new songs for a long time.

Then the most outrageous thing was confirmed: how did he achieve such quality in every song he created when he was so busy?

Looking at their eyes, Tao Zhiming thought, is it because his brothers are cheating?

So he took the opportunity and winked and joked: "Of course, if we are a singer or music producer at WanderDane, I still have to find a way to help my club develop well."

These words made some people's hearts beat with excitement, especially Kawai Sonoko.

As the 12th member of the Kitty Club, she was tired of the struggles between members and the upper management in the club. The media's doubts about these members and their works also brought great trouble to her who was still very young.

Pressure. In the second half of last year, due to dissatisfaction with Fuji TV, they were banned from appearing in TBS music programs.

At the beginning of the year, she had graduated from the Kitty Club. With gratitude to the club, she took the initiative to appear in a TBS TV show, and was even intentionally hit by a Fuji TV car. Although the performance was very effective, Akimoto-san was disappointed.

Very dissatisfied with her.

Now, she also understands that because she is not willing to be just a puppet and needs to try her best to maintain her set image as an idol, Akimoto-san is actually planning to transfer her contract and sell it at a good price. Tonight she was

The reason I brought you here is actually to discuss this with other people.

Kawai Sonoko doesn’t complain that she is actually a commodity that has been packaged and cultivated, because that’s how this circle is.

But if he really wanted to become a singer-songwriter, WanderDane probably wouldn’t look down on himself, right?

She looked at Izumi Sakai, the most popular female singer of WanderDane after Hoshino Suzu retired. Not only was she beautiful and elegant, she was also responsible for composing the lyrics of many WanderDane songs.

Kawai Sonoko couldn't help but admire such a singer. It would be great if she could be as good as her...

Sakai Izumi noticed the eyes staring at him, and couldn't help but glance over quickly, then smiled and looked away.
To be continued...
