The good news has nothing to do with the current work, and will not help improve the ratings of TV series such as "The War of the World". It is a request from the Japan College Baseball Association that the Koshien National Competition wants to use "Don't Give Up" as a support song, and it also wants to invite
Banquan Spring Water will be the kick-off guest in the national competition.
Japan's copyright protection is really very strict. In previous years, when the winner's school song was played in the Koshien competition, the TV station would temporarily cut off the sound signal. This was mostly because the school's school song did not have the copyright and could not be disseminated publicly. Naturally, the cheer song would not be broadcast.
Exception, you must obtain authorization from the original author, that is, you must obtain the consent of Chihara Rinto.
Chihara Rinto didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly, but if you think about it, you can guess the reason. Sakazumi Izumi is the most popular singer this year, so it's not surprising that she was spotted by the Japan High School Baseball Association.
She is really popular now and can even be called a little legend in the Japanese music scene.
He made his debut with "Lemon" at the beginning of the year, and his debut was amazing. Later, he sang "Although We Have Nothing in Our Hands", an excellent song that can lower the suicide rate in Japan. It warmed countless people and captured countless fans. As a result,
She and herself had a fierce battle on the Oricon Chart, which shocked the music world for a while. After the "four-county earthquake", she was airdropped to the disaster area for "spiritual relief", which made her become a singer in just a few days.
It spread all over the country.
More importantly, she has an excellent personal image. She dresses conservatively and acts in a low-key manner. She is whiter than a blank sheet of paper without any stain. She is recognized as a serious singer by the nation. She has a very high style. She is much better than idols. She is even the right age.
She has only graduated from high school for two years and looks about the same age as a high school student. The idols who are also about the same age as a high school student do not have such a high character like her. Currently, in the eyes of serious people, they are all backstreet trash.
This is not a bad thing, but it cannot be called good news...
Chihara Rinto's main job is not in the music industry. He is involved in the TV program production industry. If he is interested in this kind of thing, the Japanese College Baseball Association can at most give him some money, but it is impossible to help him promote the TV series. It is really not of much use.
.
He waved his hand casually, signaling to Murakami Iori not to be so happy, and asked directly: "I agree, they can use it if they want. Find someone to help me deal with it, I don't have time to deal with them."
He is so busy now that he has no time to deal with those baseball players.
Murakami Iori was not surprised that he agreed. The money he picked up for free could increase his reputation to some extent. He would be a fool not to agree, so he asked again: "Then will Miss Sakaizumi be allowed to attend the Koshien kick-off ceremony?"
Qianhara Rinto had lowered his head to continue working, but after hearing this, he raised his head again and asked curiously: "Isn't this something she should decide on her own?"
"She said she would go if you told her to."
Chihara Rinto was also convinced. Sakaizumi was a bit out of ideas, but he was not Sakaizumi's manager. What did you mean by "let her go and she'll go"?
He asked helplessly: "What does she mean, does she want to go?"
"I don't know." Murakami Iori was also very busy and didn't bother to understand the details, let alone didn't care. He smiled and said: "Qianyuan, she said so, you just decide for her."
Rumi Nishijima was sitting next to her, busying herself. Her face remained calm when she heard this, but she was a little surprised in her heart. She naturally knew that she had listened to her songs and seen her "concert" in the disaster area.
I like her ethereal and beautiful voice and the tenacity she shows on stage. I think she should be the best singer of the new generation in Japan. If there are no big problems in the future, she might become a legend.
figure.
As a result, did Chihara Rinto have such great influence on her? She actually obeyed Chihara Rinto's words?
Maybe, maybe I'm just saying polite words...
She hesitated there, while Chihara Rinto pondered.
This matter has little impact on him. After all, there are only a few people who care about songwriters when listening to support songs, and he is not interested in continuing to expand his reputation in the music industry. However, for Banquan Quanmizu, it can be said that this project has made progress in his career.
The tournament has great influence in Japan, sometimes surpassing the league. At least the ratings are always very good.
The highest regional ratings are 66.58% (the county where the final team is located), and the highest time-sharing ratings in Kanto are 42.21%. Most of the key games can reach more than 30%, which is really exaggerated. From this, we can see that baseball is the most watched in Japan.
Regarding sports, how upset would it be if Kanto United Television could not obtain the broadcasting rights for the baseball league?
Being able to show up in such a sporting event is quite beneficial to Banquan Shui, so naturally you have to ask if she is willing to go. In case she originally wanted to go, it was just to express her respect or scruples.
It's possible that I don't want to authorize the Japan College Baseball Association and I don't dare to agree first.
He said directly: "I'll ask her to come over and ask her, and then she'll give her an answer after she's asked her questions clearly."
"Okay, I'll ask Ah Tong to inform her later."
After Murakami Iori finished talking about this, he was not in a hurry to leave, and handed him a few more documents: "These need to be stamped and confirmed by you. Currently, 60 to 70% of people are working overtime and are seriously overtime, especially in the creative team.
"
Qianhara Rinto paid more attention to this kind of thing. He quickly took the document and looked at it carefully, and asked by the way: "Are there many people complaining?"
Murakami Iori shook his head and said: "It's not much now, but it will be hard to say in the future."
Qianhara Rinto nodded slowly. The new team was actually still in the running-in period. Unsatisfactory things often happened and required overtime work. Fortunately, Japan has an "overtime culture", which was quite friendly to him. He worked continuously, starting from the morning.
We work from 8:30 to 12 o'clock, or even 1:00 or 2 o'clock. The European and American people would have rebelled long ago. It's great that these people can endure it until now. But if it goes on like this for a long time, the resentment will build up. Sooner or later they will rebel.
thing.
Need to take precautions early...
He thought for a while and felt that if the overtime pay and subsidies were increased, the budget would be too much to bear. He asked: "Can you select a group of people, the kind who can speak well, and give them a more powerful-sounding position, in the name of the TV station...
...No, let’s go to the employees’ homes in our name and give some small gifts to their parents, wives and children, and ask the sales department to provide gifts. They are not taking advantage of us. It’s time for them to give some blood. Let’s do it.
How about those people bringing gifts to visit the employees’ families, praising them in person, and helping the employees save face in front of their families?”
The Japanese attach great importance to face, and send people to explain to their families the importance of their work and their indispensability in the team. Thinking about it, even if they have some resentment, it should be eliminated. The key is to increase overtime pay and subsidies.
Good deal.
Iori Murakami thought this was a good idea, and the producers welcomed it because it cost less. When filming "Titanic", Cameron built "half" of the ship and felt that the effect was not perfect after the live-action shooting, so he wanted to build a bigger one.
, but the producer became anxious at that time and stood on the bow of the boat and threatened to jump into the sea if he didn't give up the idea.
Cameron naturally insisted on his own ideas, and then the producers really jumped into the sea...
To be honest, Chihara Rinto is also a big money-burner. If Murakami Iori hadn't helped him manage the budget, he would not be as relaxed as he is now.
Now that he offered to save money, Murakami Iori was naturally very pleased. He agreed to the troublesome task immediately and got up and went to do it. Chihara Rinto thought about it and found that there seemed to be no other way to start five dramas at once.
, plus the old program "Human Observation", and the foundation of Kanto United's production bureau is too poor, there are not many good-looking people, so they have tried their best to transfer them, but the manpower is still too tight, otherwise he would not want to work overtime with these people.
At least we have to do this until the end of the year. We can only take one step at a time.
Qianhara Rinto lowered his head again and continued to do his work, and soon Sakaizumi Sensui arrived. As soon as he entered the door, he saluted and said hello, and sat down in front of him obediently.
Nishijima Rumi served her tea, and she meekly bowed her head to thank her. This made Nishijima Rumi feel a little surprised. He didn't expect her to be different in life and singing. She was very tough on stage, but
In real life, she seems to be very shy, and she doesn't dress like a pop star at all. She is very simple and looks like a girl next door.
Chihara Rinto had a very gentle attitude towards her. After all, this was not his subordinate. The relationship between the two of them was more like cooperation. Even though he was busy, he patiently paid attention to her current situation and how she was doing after returning from the disaster area.
Let’s get down to business: “Ms. Sakaizumi, regarding the College Baseball Association’s invitation to kick off the game, do you want to go?”
Ban Quanquan lowered his head and said, "Do you think I should go?"
"It depends on what you want. If you want to go, you can go. If you don't want to go, just refuse. It doesn't matter."
Ban Quanquan said softly: "I don't know, just make up your mind for me." After a pause, she seemed to think it was too casual to say this, and immediately added: "If you need me to go, I will go, no need
If I go, I won’t go.”
Qianhara Rinto started to scratch his head. You really don't care about your own career at all. Have you ever worried about me selling you?
He asked helplessly: "Then you mean... you don't want to go?"
"Don't you need me to go?" Ban Quanquan Shui didn't care about this matter at all and tried: "Then I won't go."
"That's not what I meant. In fact, I think it will help your career."
Banquan nodded obediently: "Then I'll go, but I don't know baseball and I can't pitch, so I need to practice."
"Don't worry about that. It's just a show. Even if you can't throw the ball to the home plate, the batter will count you a strike, and no one will laugh at you for not throwing... Forget it, let's not talk about it.
." Qianhara Rinto felt that he had done something stupid and it was useless not to ask, so he changed his mind and said: "If you feel it doesn't matter, then just take a trip, earn some extra money, and at the same time maintain your exposure.
"
"Okay, Teacher Qianhara, then I'm going to throw a ball."
Qianhara Rinto had nothing to say. He originally had good intentions and was afraid that he would distort Sakazumi's wishes. Unexpectedly, she had no wishes at all, so he could only smile helplessly: "That's it, please run away.
A trip... also, do you want to... go to the place where A Tong works? "
He originally wanted to suggest that Izumi Sakazumi install a phone or buy a mobile phone, but after thinking about it, he decided not to meddle in her own business. She liked peace and quiet and probably found the phone annoying, so he changed his mind halfway and asked her to go to Hitomi Konoe.
He was playing, but Banquan Quanshui hesitated and did not leave. Instead, he said: "Teacher Qianyuan, that... I have listened to "Between the Sky and You", it is a very good song..."
"Thank you. It's an honor for you to like me."
"Between the Sky and You" is the theme song of "Homeless Child". It's not surprising that Sakazumi has heard it, but Chihara Rinto was a little confused after saying a polite word. Do you want to chat for a while?
Banquan Quanshui seemed to have plucked up the courage, but then lowered his head and whispered: "I can actually sing, you...why didn't you call me?"
Qianhara Rinto was startled for a moment and asked strangely: "You shouldn't be short of singing now, right? No one has contacted you?"
The spring water of Banquan is so extraordinary that other songwriters are deafened?
"Yes, but I still want to sing the song you wrote." Banquan Quanshui mustered up the courage to say another sentence, but at this point the courage seemed to have run out, and he said with some anxiety: "Isn't that too presumptuous? You must have you."
Consideration... There must be many people who want to sing your song, right? Do you... don't need me anymore?"
Qianhara Rinto was startled and said quickly: "No, it's just that the song was just average to me, and you were performing charity performances all the time, so I didn't bother you... Don't worry, if there are good songs later, you will definitely still be my first choice.
." He really thought so, and this season was not yet desperate, and it was even more important to focus on Michiko. At that time, he felt that there was no need to use Sakaquan spring water, so he directly threw the song to Murakami Iori and let her go
The person who picked.
Banquanquanshui breathed a long sigh of relief, and said as if he had put down a lot of worries: "That's really great!"
She especially wanted to sing the theme song for Chihara Rinto. Even if "Between the Sky and You" and "Don't Give Up" were not on the same level, she wanted to sing it. But she was sad that she didn't get the chance to sing, and she was even a little scared. Now
She was completely relieved, her eyes brightened, and Nishijima Rumi was really shocked.
She didn't know the origin between Sakazumi Izumi and Chihara Rinto. Now there is only one singer who is the most popular singer of the year. She has touched the goddesses all over Japan. She is extremely honest in front of Chihara Rinto. What he says is true.
I didn’t even have the slightest intention to object, I was even a bit humble!
Does this guy have such an exaggerated influence in the music industry?
