In 1993, among the top 20 ORICON annual list, there were ten singers from BEING. Whether it was B’z, ZARD, WANDS, DEEN and T-BOLAN, they all performed well.

In 1994, this number dropped to six, among which ZARD and T-BOLAN did not make the top 20 singles, while Dark Moji made it to the list as a female SOLO general. In addition, Ye Zhao also won the eleventh place in the year list with the single "Rainbow".

In 1995 this year, although this number was still the same as six, four of them were from the two B’z elders, and the other two were still occupied by Dahei Moji and Ye Zhao. Among them, Ye Zhao's single "WINTER, AGAIN" that entered the top 20 of the list was still an old work released in 1994.

Judging from these numbers, it is easy to draw a conclusion: the era of BEING's dominance is over. Of course, this is a very normal thing. After anything reaches its peak, it is inevitable that it will usher in recession or even disappear.

However, if it is just a record company that has declined from prosperity, there are not so many things to say, but if it involves something like the fluctuation of people's hearts, then some things have to be considered and faced.

Is BEING good? Of course it is good.

Regardless of whether assembly line POP ROCK has been criticized by orthodox rock fans, it still does not prevent the company from creating glory in the history of pop music and becoming the youth and memory of a generation.

Is BEING bad? Of course it is also very bad.

In the past, bands, or like-minded people, or record companies formed through selection and convergence, may have to go through a long underground career, while the latter also needs to be carefully crafted and finally enter the mainstream world of music.

But BEING's assembly line band broke this rule. There is no need to be so troublesome to form a band. You just need to find basic staffing and rely on the gold medal composer to provide songs and send them to the assembly line for mass production.

BEING has a somewhat unexpected "not exposing strategy". Although it has added mysterious selling points to their singers, this strategy is actually based on sacrificing the singers' own personality.

Among BEING singers, there are singers who are introverted and like this strategy and packaging technique. But for another singer, they may be able to accept this kind of sacrifice before becoming popular, but after becoming successful, they will continue to give up on themselves. This is an unpleasant thing.

This contradiction broke out when Uesugi and Hiroshi Shibasaki decided not to renew their contract with BEING. The choices of these two people opened a new path for BEING singers who have always been: the path to becoming "betrayers". Taking this opportunity, many BEING veterans also thought about their future and stay.

For BEING, the gold medal composer who has achieved such a glory was of course Tetsuro Oda. At that time, Nagato Oda's eyes were keen and absorbed the young Tetsuro Oda with him. However, as the company gradually grew bigger, many irreconcilable contradictions appeared between the two. For Daitsuro Oda, who is accustomed to dictatorship, it is impossible to give in.

This also led to the fact that the partners who originally had mutual appreciation gradually drifted away. Before Oda Tetsuro's contract ended, he no longer served BEING. In addition to providing songs to singers from other companies, he opened his own personal firm, and also actively participated in the selection meetings of other companies. At the selection meeting, he met his beloved disciple Aikawa Nanase.

Nagato Daiyuki began to actively absorb newcomers with composing skills because of his premonition of Oda Tetsuro's crisis of leaving and the changing direction of the music industry. It was because of this that Ye Zhao got into his sight. His performance after entering the company is enough to prove that Nagato Daiyuki did not miss it. He has the ability to continue, rather than the outdated one-piece song.

But what Ye Zhao showed next had nothing to do with Nagato's original idea.

The company's pillar singer is about to leave the club. The veteran and gold medal composer and the newly recruited newcomers who have high expectations seem to have discussed it. They all bypassed BEING and went to produce newcomers for other companies. One after another, and the waves of things came, which made the family's great dissatisfaction more and more.

The real point of explosion was when Aikawa Nanase entered the publicity period. I don’t know if Ai Hui wanted to use BEING as a stepping stone to set off firecrackers in the midst of the water or the fireworks took the opportunity to set off firecrackers in the midst of the water. The tabloids on the market began to write BEING’s short compositions. This time it was not that he was good at imitating, but that he directly pointed out that the company was in disagreement.

"Late-night secret talk! The Shuangda Meeting between Oda and Ida!"

"Oda Masahi! The proud disciple Aikawa Nanase"

"WANDS's Uesugi and Shibasaki will end the contract next year. The beginning of the BEING crisis?"

"The Marriage between Sony and Ye Zhao, the Anger of President Nagato"

The content of such a picture at the beginning was entirely dependent on editing, and there was not even a picture. The small composition of the characters and small avatars began to be circulated in various third-rate and eight-rate magazines. Ye Zhao didn’t know what others were like, but he actually received interview calls and faxes from the magazine. Some reporters asked him directly, "Whether he has any plans to end the contract with BEING in advance."

In the chaos, a special reporter even squatted downstairs where he lived, intercepted him when he went out and asked him questions about these matters.

The taxi stopped in front of him, and Ye Zhao smiled, "Sorry, I'm very busy."

"Although I'm sorry, it's just a little delay. May I ask if Ye Zhaosang and Sony have such close cooperation, are there any plans to leave BEING?"

"What do you think about your senior, Uesugi, Uesugi, who is from WANDS, and Shibasaki is about to quit the club?"

Ye Zhao got into the taxi and said concisely, "As a junior, I respect the two seniors of WANDS from the bottom of my heart, in all aspects. In addition, if you have any actions in the future, I will definitely inform you through BEING and my personal office."

After saying that, he signaled the taxi driver to leave quickly.

When he came to BEING, Ye Zhao apologized to him in a tactful way. The name of the apology was "making troubles and causing troubles to the company", rather than creating a newcomer for Sony.

This kind of ambiguous "increasing trouble and causing trouble" is something that Japanese people often say. Ye Zhao alone has heard it countless times, and he can't figure out what the actual meaning is. In short, just say it first.

After all, he did not sign a contract with BEING, but just put the record contract here. It was his freedom to be a producer. He did not have to turn his elbows out of the contract he signed at the beginning. So this matter itself is not wrong. Even if it is wrong, it is because of the subsequent tabloid reports that his behavior "caused trouble to the outside world."

Nagato Daiyuki naturally knew about this, so he could only say politely, "The tabloids are just written randomly, so you don't have to take it seriously." Although that look is not a face that you don't have to take it seriously at all.

The signing of an artist and a company is never an employment contract. The boss is the superior of the company's employees, but not the superior of the artists under his subordinates. Therefore, he must not treat his artists with the attitude of treating his subordinates. Moreover, to be honest, he is even more dissatisfied with Shigeru Uesugi and Tetsuro Oda.

After all, Ye Zhao is just a newcomer who has just joined the company for more than a year. He has accumulated considerable popularity before his official debut. After his debut, the company has not paid much attention to him, but he has never made any less money he deserves. Uesugi Shin and Oda Tetsuro are different. The former is a "proud work" discovered and cultivated by Nagato Ota and himself, while the latter is a partner who has worked with him.

Now, these things have been written out clearly by the tabloids. Even if they cause this situation today, Nagato Yuki himself will bear great responsibility, but he still feels betrayed in his heart.

It can be said that if in Nagato Daiyuki's eyes, Uesugi Tsuke and Oda Tetsuro are "betrayers", then Ye Zhao is "the one who takes the lead". If he did not create a newcomer for Sony, then he would have less material when writing randomly on the tabloid.

Ye Zhao didn't know that he was actually "vented" from the Changdu Daxun, just pretending that this dissatisfaction was coming towards him. His contract with BEING is still nearly two years, so it is hard to say what will happen in the future - when the first three-year contract between him and BEING expires, it just happened to catch up with BEING's large-scale outflow. At that time, he can't tell where he should go.

To be honest, he stayed at BEING very comfortably. Not to mention anything else, at least there was no factional struggle, and there were few strange and strange destructive things, but it was inevitable that BEING would decline. If the Ganghuo takes over the power, he could not "save" the company. If the Ganghuo Dahuo, he probably didn't need him to "save".

However, even if he doesn't mention it, he will only say that now, although he only has one record contract with BEING, Nagato Daiyu can't do anything else, but it is still easy to block him in the production and promotion of the record. Therefore, he doesn't want to make the relationship too stiff because of these things.

Take a look at Kuriko. Komuro Tetsuya maintained a good relationship with Ai Hui at his heyday. The singers and record contracts he produced were all naturally placed on Ai Hui. But in 1997, Suzuki Ami stood out in the selection, but Komuro Tetsuya crossed Ai Hui and signed her to Sony.

Ai Hui was furious because of this incident. In order to "punish" Tetsuya Komuro, he canceled the publicity of all the singers of the Komuro family under Ai Hui. Tetsuya Komuro "losed the big picture because of the small", and the relationship between the two sides dropped to freezing point until a long time later.

However, Ye Zhao's situation is still different from Tetsuya Komuro. Tetsuya Komuro and Ai Hui win-win, Ye Zhao and BEING are not involved in it. There is no need to worry about being taken to the base camp. BEING does not have the tough and almost extreme means of Ai Hui. Even if you take a step back, if BEING really hides him, he will not be affected at all.

The matter with Sony has been done, and there is absolutely no possibility of change. If you want to ease your relationship with Nagato Daiyuki, the businessman, the best and fastest way is of course to help him get benefits. As for the way to get benefits, of course...

"Do you want to offer songs to the two MANISH people?" Nagato Daiyuki was a little surprised. Ye Zhao has only provided a new song for WANDS and ZARD respectively, among which ZARD is temporarily used as inventory and has not been officially released.

However, he immediately figured out why Ye Zhao took the initiative to bring up this matter. After a while of relief, Nagato Yuki felt a little bit "this storm is not a bad thing." Before that, he was still thinking about how to use how to convince Ye Zhao to serve songs as a composer to the company's singers while performing personal singer activities.

Now, it would be better to be able to offer it on his own initiative. Although this candidate for the song was not the first choice in Nagato Daiyuki's mind. MANISH has been lukewarm since his debut. In his opinion, instead of continuing to push them, it is better to give resources to popular bands such as FOV, or promote another team of new players.

"Yes. Thank you to Mr. Komuro, the girl pop is in good momentum now, and I want to do something interesting." The reason I chose MANISH is of course because Ye Zhao has some friendship with these two people, and Mire Takahashi has a good relationship with Maki Okura. At the last BEER meeting, Maki Okura and Mika Kawashima mentioned this matter specifically.

Moreover, Ye Zhaoda admired the two men of MANISH from the bottom of his heart, and felt both a pity and a little curious about the "evaporation of the world" after them. Although he didn't know what happened between them, since he had done it again, there was no need to mention things like protecting Sakai Insumi. If he could continue to be active on the stage through his efforts, even if he couldn't become famous, it would be enough to be able to continue singing.

"So, what kind of song do you want to do?" Although he was still thinking about his own calculations, Nagato Yuki was still very interested. Everything was difficult at the beginning. Since Ye Zhao himself started this head, he believed that things would definitely move towards his ideal direction in the future.

"This hasn't been decided yet, I just had that idea." Ye Zhao said, "Then it will be the Osaka concert soon. For specific things, we will have to wait until the end of Hibitani Noyin's final show."

"That's right." Nagato Daiyuki smiled, "Then wait until the concert is over before conducting specific discussions."

I verbally decided to provide a new song to MANISH and talked about some things about the concert. By the time I left BEING, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Ye Zhao walked for a while and then took the return tram. He liked tram very much, of course, he was avoiding the peak hours of the ride.

At this time, the tram was empty, so he found a seat to sit down, feeling the shaking of the tram while looking at the night view outside the car window. This undisturbed moment made him feel extremely relaxed and comfortable.

It was just ten o'clock when he returned to the apartment where he lived. Ye Zhao turned on the radio and took a shower while listening to the radio drama "Calling Love in the Center of the World".

After this radio drama officially started broadcasting, the first two episodes did not achieve the expected results. However, as the number of episodes of the program gradually increased, the plot gradually became better, and the listening rate also showed a good upward momentum, especially among young people, which caused quite a lot of topics and even led young people who no longer like to listen to radio to start paying attention to radio programs again.
