Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   The request of Akina Mori in Chapter 312

  Neon Music Copyright Association is actually not an official organization, but its existence is an important part of the neon music ecology.

   To put it bluntly, it is to help members to take care of the usage fees of music copyrights. Whether it is a TV station, radio station, karaoke or bar, if you use the songs managed by this copyright association, in theory, you must pay it according to the rules. After the association receives the fee, it will keep a part according to the rules, and the rest will be handed over to the creator of the song.

   Of course, the Music Copyright Association is just a general corporate legal person, and it cannot really control the whole world. But they will organize various irregular activities to collect evidence, and then prosecute according to the rules.

   After years of doing this, the Music Copyright Association has become a monopoly on neon music copyright. Although they are only a supporting service organization in the music circle, their influence should not be underestimated.

   and their specific contact, Tao Zhiming does not have to go out on his own, Nakamura Keiji knows very well.

   But Tao Zhiming was able to meet the president of the music copyright association, as well as the presidents of several music publishing clubs.

  Origuchi Yabo was the most excited, because among the people present, he belonged to the lowest status. These characters, after all, are the presidents of very formal literary and art clubs, and their careers are open and aboveboard. And he used to be just a dance hall operator. Now he is the president of WanderDance, and he actually entered such a circle.

   Originally, he could only pay fees to the Music Copyright Association, but now he seems to be able to receive their share in the future.

   But among the people who came to the WanderDance box, the president's status was obviously the highest.

   This is of course due to strength, but also due to what he said at the dinner table before.

  The president of the Music Production Rights Association, Tokuji Kawara, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the performance below and sighed: "President Tao, why don't you make the music production department a separate club?"

   "Let's talk about it later."

  Tao Zhiming just smiled, the time and income of cultivating pure singers, how can there be such a form of dance hall to make money quickly? Isn't this a dance hall that sells billions of yen a year? Moreover, it is not impossible to develop channels for making money in music.

"It's such a pity to just perform here." Kitagawa, who was invited by Tokuji Kawara, looked at WanderDance's new singer, and the band's lead singer Yin Mixiang's eyes lit up, "President Tao, if you If there is a lack of professional talents and experience in this area, you can consider signing a contract with us."

   "Cooperation signing?" Tao Zhiming asked with a smile, "What kind of cooperation law?"

"WanderDance just needs to be able to have artists to perform here, right? Oh, of course, WanderDance's music production department is also very strong." Kitagawa said a little seriously, "but the artist's image design, album production, publicity And foreign cooperation, in fact, can be entrusted to us.”

   "President Kita, which one of our artists do you think has potential?" Tao Zhiming continued to look at him half-smiling.

Kitagawa always feels that he has some inexplicable attitudes towards himself, but he likes to see his handsome face: "WanderDance artists who can perform steadily on stage have great potential. But as we all know, our Johnny's Office specializes in the direction It's an idol male singer."

   "So, it's Yinmei Township?" Tao Zhiming shook his head, "Let them train and grow in the dance hall first."

   "Speaking of cooperation..." Neon Warner's President Fumita Hirakawa asked, "President Tao, I heard Akina say that the composer of WanderDance's songs, Momanosuke, is actually you?"

   Even Kitagawa was taken aback and looked at him in disbelief.

  WanderDance has released songs with amazing quality. And the composer is actually his dignified president?

"Where did Miss Nakamori hear about it?" Tao Zhiming shook his head helplessly, and then said, "I didn't want to attract attention, so I used a pseudonym. After all, my main energy is still on the management of the club. "

  Origuchi Yabo looked at him blankly, this is true, he has a lot of things.

  However, is it possible to create such a popular song with just a little time? What is his brain like?

   Hirakawa Wenta was amazed: "I really admire the talent of President Tao."

After liking a sentence, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "Although it is very presumptuous... But President Tao, there is a song that you should have created, right? But I have never seen it performed, I don't know if it can be played in In terms of songwriting, can you cooperate with us?"

  Tao Zhiming laughed: "I didn't think about it. I'm not short of money, and I don't need fame in this area."

  Hirakawa Bunta glanced at Kitagawa with a complicated expression, and then said, "President Tao, can we talk in private?"

  Since Tao Zhiming participated in this game today, he is preparing to become friends with people in the circle first. I only knew one Kitagawa before, but Tao Zhiming didn't like seeing him.

   And this Neon Warner is a record company signed by Akina Nakamori. Tao Zhiming guessed that what he wanted to talk about had something to do with Akina Nakamori, otherwise why would he take a special look at Kitagawa.

   So he said to the others: "Excuse me for now. Yabo, treat everyone well."

   Afterwards, Tao Zhiming invited Pingyuan Wentai to the backstage working area of ​​the ballroom and entered Jiang Xiongtai's office to sit.

   "President Hirakawa, is it related to Miss Nakamori?" Tao Zhiming simply cut to the chase.

"...As expected of President Tao." Hirakawa Fumita gave him a deep look, and then said, "Since October last year, Mingcai has been in a very low state. We only learned from the assistant that she was officially in WanderDance. It didn't start until we went back the night of the business. At first, we misunderstood if something happened to her here."

  Tao Zhiming looked at him speechless.

"Of course, Akina tried to explain to us later that it was just because she saw Kondo-kun and another woman having a private meeting in the dance hall." Hirakawa Wentai sighed, "It was probably because of this incident that her performance at the Red and White Song Festival was also affected. It has had an impact. Although it has already reached March this year, I have not been able to enter the state of making a new album until now.”

  Tao Zhiming is afraid that things are not so simple. The contracts between artists and record companies are generally very strict. Because personal feelings affect the record company's money, in fact, artists have to bear huge pressure.

   Of course, Akina Nakamori is so well-known now, and although Neon Warner is losing patience, it will not give up easily.

Hirakawa Wenta went on to say: "One day, the manager heard her sing a song she had never heard before, which was very beautiful, and thought it was a song she composed for the new album, expressing her own voice. However, Mingcai said, that The song was heard from your WanderDance singer Hoshino Suzu. Later, we learned that WanderDance's songs are all written by President Tao."

  Tao Zhiming smiled calmly: "President Hirakawa, I don't have the will to write songs for singers other than our WanderDance."

   He thought about it, and there was only "I've thought about it once" with Hoshino Ling once. Wasn't it very pleasant and relaxed after the first and second time with Hoshino Suzu, listening to her open up her heart to talk about some things from the past, and then sing it out to make her happy?

   I didn't expect Hoshino Suzu to have such a good memory in music, and then probably used it to comfort Akina Nakamori that night, right?

   This song has not really been composed and produced, so there is no copyright application. In fact, whether Nakamori Akina or Hirakawa Wenta, you should know if you check it out.

   Now that he has brought it up face to face, it is quite aboveboard. Of course, he should also know that Tao Zhiming is not easy to mess with.

Hirakawa Wentai was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, Ming Cai knew that I was going to visit President Tao, and asked me for advice. She said that it has been almost half a year now, and she also understands your kindness. Life is really long, so I wanted to sing this song as a start to get back on my feet."

   "Did Miss Nakamori tell President Hirakawa about that night?"

   "No, I'm just paraphrasing Akina's original words."

  Tao Zhiming chuckled: "If she wants to cheer up, she will cheer up again. Why does she want to sing this song, and I will give her the rights of this song? I don't owe her anything."

   Hirakawa Wenta didn't mind, but said regretfully: "What a pity..."

"The creative resources that President Hirakawa can find are much stronger than mine." Tao Zhiming smiled kindly, "We can only rely on me for the time being, so please understand. Even if we only perform in the dance hall now, we can't always have this some songs."

   "Of course, just ask President Tao's opinion."

"Actually, since her debut, Miss Nakamori has always appeared in a more rebellious and individual image, and singing that song is not good." Tao Zhiming stood up, "This will destroy the foundation of her always popular image, that song , I personally don't think it's suitable for her."

   Hirakawa Wenta smiled: "I heard her sing once, and I can't forget it. In fact, her style is also changeable. President Tao, it's just this song, can you really not cooperate?"

   When I ate dinner before, I asked these bigwigs in the music industry to support the Hokkaido Music Festival, and he agreed. Tao Zhiming listened to the fact that he really cared about that song, and remembered Akina Nakamori's appearance that night and her fame, and after thinking about it, he said, "Since Miss Nakamori has this idea, why hasn't she mentioned it to me for so long? ?"

"...Probably because President Tao's status is very special." Hirakawa Wenta smiled bitterly, "As you said, you don't need money, and you don't need music fame. On the contrary, reserve excellent singers for the singers you sign. song, which is very understandable.”

Tao Zhiming smiled: "Well, I am afraid that Miss Nakamori has created a version of the lyrics by herself? Can you ask Miss Nakamori to perform it in our clubhouse tomorrow, and I will see the effect of her expression. If possible, make an exception this time. It's not impossible. But there is one condition, I want this song to debut at the Hokkaido Music Festival."

  Hirakawa Wentai was refreshed and nodded: "Okay!"

  …

  The morning rush hour finally passed, and Nara Yuma took a cup of milk tea and drank it while standing outside the building.

  Become the manager of the Inagawa family and Jicha here for a while, and he feels that the days of being yakuza are getting farther and farther away from him.

   Seeing the staff in the building come to spend, I am used to bowing with a smile on my face.

  Shame only comes up in retrospect at moments like this. Then, I wanted to smoke a cigarette, but I was afraid that Big Brother Xiong would find out.

   Just drink milk tea and take a break.

   It feels really bad to have to work so hard to make money, but it seems to be more stable than before. After a month of this, it was actually much more than before, and he even got a reward from his father.

  Also...Why do I sometimes feel embarrassed when I see that lively and cute little girl asking him about yakuza?

  Nara Yuma was sipping a straw, and suddenly saw a car parked at the door, and two girls walked down.

   The one walking in front, Nara Yuma quickly recognized it, so his mouth opened a little.

   is Akina Nakamori, right?

  I saw the two entered the lobby, and the girl next to her glanced at the instructions on the wall and said, "It's here, the 8th floor!"

   It's working hours now, and most of the staff in the building are in the office, so there was no commotion here.

  Nara Yuma saw them entering the elevator, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly quickened her pace and ran from the stairs to the second floor.

   After thinking about it, he turned back and ran to the Jicha shop: "Give me three more cups of milk tea, hurry up."

   He waited anxiously, wondering what to say.

   When the milk tea was ready and handed to him, Nara Yuma hurriedly carried it to the second floor. After seeing Fujiwara Sakura, she put it on the table, and said, "Nakamori Akina is here, on the eighth floor!"

  Fujiwara Sakura originally looked confused, but when she heard this, her mouth opened wide, and then she asked, "Really? Really?"

   "Of course it's true!" Nara Yuma's **** seemed to pick out his own eyeballs, "I saw it with my own eyes."

   "Apricot sauce? Akina sauce!" Fujiwara Sakura got excited, and then became very tangled, "But now is my work time..."

"It's alright!" Nara Yuma coughed, pretending to be very arrogant, "President Tao and I have known each other very early. Go ahead and say this is our extreme tea for Miss Nakamori and the others to drink. Yes. Be sure to ask them to take a picture of Miss Nakamori drinking this extreme tea, you know? As long as you say that, you'll be fine, President Tao... will understand."

   "Really?" Fujiwara Sakura certainly wanted to go after the stars, but was a little scared.

"Of course!" Nara Yuma waited, "Do you still want to meet her? I'm fine now... I'll take care of you here. If they come to rest, they'll be... look for me for information. !"

   "Yuma-san, I like you the most!" Fujiwara Sakura smiled and took the milk tea up.

   "Long-winded!" Nara Yuma held the shelf impatiently, and only smiled smugly when she saw her bouncing away.

   It seems that he is always dealing with such regular employees, and he has become a little smarter.

  He was sitting here, and then he saw the back of a game machine room over there. Nara Yuma frowned, as if Fujiwara Sakura was working here. The working status of these authors and manga artists was part of her work assessment.

   It's a good working time now, how can I play games there?

  Nara Yu walked over with a sloppy face and knocked on the door.

In   , Fu Jian Yibo turned his head in surprise, and saw a strong man with a fierce expression.

"…What's wrong?"

   "Have you finished today's work? Let's play again!" Nara Yuma's eyes widened.

"…Yes."

  Fujian Yoshihide actually recognized him as the uncle of the store manager downstairs, and he did not care about this matter.

   But his personality is not very outgoing, and his expressions are fierce, and his words are reasonable.

   So he could only reluctantly leave.

   But it's really good here, there are free games to play...

  Nara Yuma felt great and nodded in satisfaction.

  WanderDance on the 8th floor is already boiling.

   Sakai Izumi, Miyi Asuka, Omimi-go and the others were all excited, and Nakamura Keiji and others were even closer to the frenzy.

   Tao Zhiming, who had just entered the door, saw Sakura Fujiwara also, and asked in amazement, "Why are you here?"

  Fujiwara Sakura was startled, and quickly pointed to the milk tea and said, "Yumasang asked me to bring it for Akina sauce..."

   "...That kid, he's very good at doing things." Tao Zhiming laughed and shook his head, "Okay, go ahead and do your work."

   "Mr. President." Fujiwara Sakura grew bolder and said in a low voice, "Yumasang said he wanted a photo of Akina sauce and milk tea!"

   "Do you still want to sign?"

   "Of course that's the best." Fujiwara Sakura smiled naively.

   "Okay, help him." Tao Zhiming waved his hand before walking to Akina Nakamori, "Long time no see."
