When VERMILLION Records was first established, Baba Shunichi didn't take Nagato Daiyuki seriously. But now, Baba Shunichi can only restrain his temper and act in a low-key manner.
Nagato Daiyuki now has the upper hand, his prestige in VERMILLION records is increasing day by day, and his status within the BRUNING department is also rising. When invited to attend parties hosted by Ikuo Shufu, he always sits among the honored guests.
Baba Shunichi is responsible for discovering SOLO singers, but so far no results have been achieved. Nagato Daiyuki is high-spirited and ready to make great plans and try to create SOLO singers.
Externally, he would compete with that naughty boy Iwahashi Shinichi. Internally, he would be so overwhelmed that Baba Shunichi couldn't lift his head. Nagato Daiyuki was planning in his mind, ready to free up his hands and make a serious plan.
After having the idea of producing a solo singer, Nagato Daiyuki couldn't help but think of Oda Tetsuro and the bad girl who fascinated him. Thinking of this incident, his high spirits could not help but cool down.
However, compared to the past, Nagato Daiyuki now feels much calmer when he thinks of Oda Tetsuro's refusal to cooperate. This is not because Nagato Daiyuki has any change in attitude towards Oda Tetsuro.
From beginning to end, Nagato Daiyuki believed that Oda Tetsuro was ungrateful and betrayed him. In the final analysis, it was the singers produced by Nagato Daiyuki who achieved success one after another, which made him feel that he was outstanding in ability and that no one's failure to cooperate could be used against him.
coercion...
However!
That night, Nagato Daiyuki went to the banquet at the invitation of Shufang Ikuo. He went happily, but he did not expect that Shufang Ikuo would mention Oda Tetsuro, and still proposed to him that Oda Tetsuro should be independent from VERMILLION.
"President Suho?" Ikuo Suho suddenly mentioned Oda Tetsuro, which made Nagato Daiyuki feel puzzled by what he said.
Ikuo Shufang, however, had an indifferent attitude, "Since Oda-kun has made up his mind and is unwilling to continue his activities as VERMILLION's exclusive composer, restricting him through a contract is just a lose-lose situation. It's better to take a step back and let him set up his own personal business."
Therefore, VERMILLION can, as a partner, invite him to contribute music."
"That's what I'm saying..." Shufang Ikuo suddenly turned around, catching Nagato Daiyuki off guard.
In the past two years, the relationship between Nagato Daiyuki and Oda Tetsuro has been quite unhappy, which made Nagato Daiyuki have a question mark in his mind as to whether Oda Tetsuro would contribute music to VERMILLION after independence.
Not only that, if Tetsuro Oda is let go and he is asked to provide music for other companies in the industry, the first person who will be satisfied is that naughty boy Iwahashi Shinichi.
With Misa Saeki acting as a bridge in the middle, it was obvious that Shinichi Iwahashi would take the opportunity to win over Tetsuro Oda.
Nagato Daiyuki was thinking about his words, trying to explain that the strategy of letting Oda Tetsuro go was not advisable, but Ikuo Shubo, who was sitting at the top, spoke again.
Not only that, as soon as he opened his mouth, he said something that made Nagato Daiyuki feel like the blood vessels in his head were pulsing.
"A few days ago, I met Iwahashi from GENZO and was reminded by him." Ikuo Shufang said as if nothing had happened and revealed the true origin of the idea.
Ordinarily, Iwahashi Shinichi is not on good terms with BURNING, so Ikuo Suho should not tell his close subordinates such a thing that Iwahashi Shinichi proposed. You can tell that if he really follows the instructions, Iwahashi will be the beneficiary.
Shinichi's idea.
How could Su Fang, a majestic hegemon in the entertainment industry, accept Iwahashi Shinichi's ill-intentioned remarks so easily?
Nagato Daiyuki's heart was on fire, and he was puzzled by Ikuo Shubo's actions, but more importantly, he was dissatisfied with Shinichi Iwahashi. That naughty boy actually put his hand into VERMILLION!
It's one thing to start to despise Oda Tetsuro and no longer take him as seriously as before, but it's another thing to let the annoying naughty boy set his sights on it.
Nagato Daiyuki's complacency these past few days seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water at this moment.
Seeing the way Nagato Daiyuki was trying his best to restrain his patience, Shufang Ikuo felt a subtle sense of joy in his heart. The displeasure of being tricked by Iwahashi Shinichi faded a lot at this moment.
He knew that Nagato Daiyuki had a problem with Iwahashi Shinichi, and because of this, he deliberately said that the proposal came from Iwahashi Shinichi.
Of course, the person who made the proposal was Iwahashi Shinichi, but the reason why Shufang Ikuo seriously considered it and decided to adopt it was because of some consideration.
VERMILLION, and its predecessor BEING, held the copyright of many Oda Tetsuro's songs. After Oda Tetsuro left VERMILLION and became active in the industry. As his popularity and net worth increased, the value of these copyrights also increased.
By then, BURNING will be able to put its best efforts into song copyright operations.
And even if Oda Tetsuro does not cooperate with VERMILLION, with BURNING's power in the entertainment industry and the singers affiliated with BURNING's offices, they will still have the opportunity to get songs from Oda Tetsuro, and when the time comes, they will still draw a share.
On the contrary, if Tetsuro Oda is trapped in the record company like now, nothing will be gained from the beginning to the end.
No matter what plans Shinichi Iwahashi has in mind, one thing he said is right, "Fashion has a shelf life."
Nagato Daiyuki and Oda Tetsuro met when they were young. It can be said that the composer was protected and grew up by Nagato Daiyuki. For Oda Tetsuro, Nagato Daiyuki did not regard him as a collaborator, but as a should.
A little brother who obeys his words.
Because of this, Nagato Daiyuki's self-esteem was damaged and he felt unhappy in his heart. He would rather continue the stalemate with Oda Tetsuro.
But in the eyes of Ikuo Shubo, Oda Tetsuro is just a naive composer. If he has value, use it as much as possible. Putting Oda Tetsuro in VERMILLION will not create any value, but letting him out can bring benefits.
On the plus side, then, Ikuo Shufang doesn’t care who Tetsuro Oda will work for after he becomes a freelance composer.
Now that Shubo Ikuo had made his decision, it was difficult for Nagato Daiyuki to question it. He listened to Shubo Ikuo's arrangement and lowered his head to avoid being seen with his face that was about to lose its expression.
Putting aside his personal feelings towards Oda Tetsuro, Nagato Daiyuki also knew in his heart that letting Oda Tetsuro become independent was the best solution to solve the current situation and bring benefits to VERMILLION.
However, one word from the naughty boy he hated most decided the direction of this matter. And with Ikuo Shufu's order, Nagato Daiyuki had to put aside his personal emotions and consider the overall situation.
When I could only bow my head and obey orders, the high spirits and confidence I had felt these days suddenly seemed like an illusion.
Choosing to bow to Ikuo Shubo, then, from now on, he will never be able to raise his head again. Unable to face this situation of surrendering, this made the five emotions in Nagato Daiyuki's heart flow together, and finally they all rushed towards one name.
