"The expression is really solemn now."

"Feel sorry."

Hearing the agent's half-taught words, Hirai Katsura raised his head and smiled reluctantly.

"The performance will start in half an hour." The agent reminded him.

"Please rest assured," said Hirai Kazuya, "when you stand on the stage, you will immediately be energetic." Before that, I thought I had been struggling for years and occasionally willful.

"Since you knew you wanted to pass the file to Ye Zhaosang, you have been worried." As the person who accompanied him to struggle and explore in the trough, his agent knew his affairs well.

"..." Hirai Ken didn't answer.

"Although the production rights were released and outsourced to cooperative brands that were further away, the person who took over your production rights was Ye Zhaosang who had never failed," the agent continued. "If it were other singers who were in the same situation as you are now, they would be very happy... This may be your best opportunity now."

Of course, it can also be said that it is the last chance the record company gave Hirai Ken. If even the gold medal producer can't be saved, then you can only give him a bag and make a fortune.

"I have also heard of Ye Zhaosang's deeds, and it is indeed very powerful." Kazuhi Hirai said, "From the debut and then to the time he was a producer, I have never failed. People who can do this level are indeed worthy of respect."

"However, Kurata also knew that when he debuted as a singer, he did POPROCK and later became a producer. He was known as a GIRL POP producer. The singers he produced were basically based on this aspect of the musical style."

"In Japan now, the market for RnB is very small," Hirai Kazuya slowly said his concerns, "especially for an unsuccessful singer like me, every record released now is making the company lose money."

Indeed, as an agent, Kota also knew very well. If Katsu Hirai had not insisted on dozens of high-intensity tours every year to support his singing career, he would probably not even be able to post a single now.

Even if you are a singer-songwriter, it will cost you to release records. You have to say where to save trouble for the record company, which means you will reduce the trouble of collecting songs from the music library or other composers.

Therefore, for singers who lose money, the funds for publishing records can only be reduced again and again, and eventually it becomes almost no publicity, as if it is simply to complete the contract.

In this way, it seems that another vicious cycle has formed. The more you can’t sell it, the less publicity there will be. The less publicity there will be, the fewer people will know that in the end, the sales will only get worse and worse.

Unless you happen to encounter any publicity opportunity that will hit the great fortune, it will only become more and more difficult to turn the tables.

"Now, if you want that Ye Zhaosang to take over my song production, I was thinking, maybe the company has given up RnB and wants me to transform, right?" Katsuhira said, mocking himself, "To be honest, I can't imagine a rock singer..."

Although the market for RnB is still very small, at this moment, Katsuhira Hirai is also holding a person who wants to explore a music path that suits him and can be accepted by the Japanese.

Even after being frustrated, he still did not give up.

But now, how could he know that what Ye Zhao was thinking in his heart was the same thing as him.

Ye Zhao and DefSTAR want to use Hirai Kane to open up the RnB market together. This is something that only senior executives of record companies know. For those below, they can only hear that they have to pass the production rights of Hirai Kane to his label.

Therefore, only in the current news that Hirai Kazumi was pessimistic about this matter. Such pessimism comes from the helplessness of giving up on what he likes and the sorrow of abandoning what he values.

"This..." Gutian thought about it, and felt that it was a bit cruel to make him give up what he had been pursuing.

But in this era, more than 300 sets of singers debut every year. They can lose money for several years and release records. Even if the company wants him to transform, he can't say "cruel" words.

The real cruelty is not that once the grades are not ideal, they will be immediately refrigerated until the end of the contract and then swept out?

In this way, before the performance officially began, Hirai Kazuki was immersed in such emotions. Of course, Ye Zhao, who was ahead of him, was unaware of his concerns.

Although he was really depressed in the background, when the performance started and he stood on the stage, Katsuhira Hirai began to sing with all his strength again, which was his respect for his favorite music.

As an absolutely powerful Kazuhira, watching his performance is really a pleasure. Ye Zhao, who was in the audience, was also infected by his superb stage performance and spent a pleasant performance time with other audiences.

After the performance, Ye Zhao, who withdrew from the venue in an orderly manner with the audience, turned back again. Hirai Ken's agent Futa had already been waiting in advance for the relationship channel.

"Good evening." Take off your flat glasses and mask, Ye Zhao and Gutian greeted him.

"Good evening, I am Hirai Sang's agent Gutian." After Gutian reported to the house, he led Ye Zhao to the backstage, "I thank you for coming here for your purpose."

"No, I should say thank you for the hospitality." The two of them said as they walked, "I was lucky enough to enjoy a wonderful performance."

When he arrived at the door of the lounge, Gutian knocked on the door, said, "Ye Zhaosang is here", and then turned the door handle.

The lounge is already small, and two adult men squeezed in at once, which makes them feel a little unstretched.

After seeing each other, Ye Zhao and Hirai Kane sat opposite each other at the folding table. Because there were only two chairs, the agent Gutian had to stand beside him.

"Haikai San's performance tonight was very exciting." Ye Zhao praised him again.

Hirai Katsuhiro thanked him politely.

After chatting while beating the drums, the topic slowly changed to something that was just in progress, "... After that, Hirai Sang and I will work together for a while. At that time, please give me some advice."

"I am here, please give me some advice." Hirai Kazuki replied, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "If possible, can Ye Zhaosang reveal a general idea about my future route plan?"

"Are you planning the route?" Ye Zhao thought about it, "Haikai San has a deep RnB foundation, so of course we must give full play to your advantages in the future and continue to explore the RnB road."

When the agent Futian heard this, he secretly felt happy for Hirai Kazuna. In this way, he had nothing to worry about before.

After hearing Ye Zhao say with his own ear that he would not let him transform and give up his own music by 180 degrees, Katsuhira Hirai breathed a little relieved, and his previous pessimism also dissipated a lot.

But then, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, that is: Ye Zhao, who has no experience in RnB production, even if he is a gold medal producer who has never failed, what level can he achieve after getting into a new style?

I had never thought about this before, but thought he was going to be kicked by a record company to Ye Zhao to sing POPROCK. Now, after the old worries disappeared, this thing that I had never thought about before appeared.

As if he knew his inner concerns, the words that came to his ears also mentioned this.

"To be honest, I have never made RnB, and in the current Japanese market, RnB's living space is indeed very weak, so I don't know what kind of things will be made." Ye Zhao said frankly.

"I don't know what Hirai San's idea is... Of course, if possible, I hope we can communicate as much as possible and exchange opinions with each other."

"Although I don't know what kind of music can be made and what kind of sparks it will collide, I think RnB is still lacking in full popularity in Japan, so my most basic idea is to find and explore a RnB path that can be accepted by the Japanese."

To explore a RnB path that can be accepted by the Japanese is what Kazuna Hirai is thinking in his heart now, and this is also the source of his current confusion.

After hearing Ye Zhao's words, Katsuhira Hirai felt a little calmer and replied: "Actually, what I am considering is the same thing. The efforts I have made before and now are also looking for such a path. However, the failures so far have proved that the path I have taken cannot work. So, how should I go next? Recently, I have been worried about such things."

"That's the case," said Ye Zhao, "Haikai Sang and I have the same goal of hard work."

Perhaps it was the words of "the same goal", which invisibly brought Ye Zhao and Hirai Kane closer together, or perhaps it was his straightforward and humble attitude that touched Hirai Kane, which made him add a lot of impressions of Ye Zhao.

In the lounge with a small space, it was a bit awkward to talk about serious matters. Moreover, there was an agent next to him, Gutian, who could only stand by because he had no seats. At Ye Zhao's suggestion, the three of them changed places and went to a small bar. Before the official announcement of the pass came out, the producer and the producer got together to exchange their ideas with each other.

The more I got in touch with Ye Zhao and the more I talked about it, the more surprised Hirai Katsuya was.

Ye Zhao's understanding of music is not so profound, but rather unique. Although it sounds a bit incredible, it sounds wild and wild at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, you can feel a very operational space from it.

Not only that, although time has many people who speak well, but who are really talking about it, what Ye Zhao said does not make people feel like empty words floating in the air.

The reason for chasing is not the blind trust in him, a gold medal producer who has never failed, but because what he envisions is based on the current situation in the music industry.

So it can still be like this? Hirai Ken thought so in his heart.

Although he did not believe this person 100%, he felt that he could open up the situation - he was already twenty-five years old and had a career as a singer for three years. He was not the kind of newcomer who had not debuted and went all out as soon as he was incited. What he was considering was something more realistic and feasible.

However, he thought in his heart that if he could cooperate with someone with such rich ideas, even if he was overstated, he would not lose the opportunity to explore and try, and even more people could explore and try.

"Anyway, Hirai Sang," Ye Zhao told him, "Although the situation is somewhat difficult at this stage, let's work together to find feasible solutions and work hard to find this road called "Unknown."

"Yes, please give me more advice in the future, Ye Zhaosang." Katsuhira replied. This time, "Please give me advice" is no longer a polite word, but a sincere heart.

Including the agent Gutian, the three of them had a few drinks together before they happily parted.

For Ye Zhao, being a producer of Hirai Katsu not only did he come into contact with a style he had not been exposed to before, Hirai Katsu is also known as a GIRL POP producer, the first male singer to be fully responsible.

Although he had previously provided music to SMAP and also produced Kinki's debut single, he was more about collecting money and creating Johnny's idol according to Jennysan's requirements.

Next, he had to fully check from beginning to end and truly produce a male singer. Therefore, in various senses, passing Hirai Kazuki is of great significance.

The next morning, Yuri Nakamura, who had already arrived in Tokyo, came to the office under the leadership of a scout. Ye Zhao also met this talented woman with a very recognizable voice for the first time.

Although she is now working hard not to debut singer-songwriter, but to the composer hidden behind the scenes.

When Ye Zhao heard this goal from her mouth, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. After all, in his memory, Yuri Nakamura was not the man in black behind the scenes, but the lead singer of GARNET CROW, with three like-minded partners.

Speaking of partners, Hiroto Koi is now a complete character in black, working hard as a staunch arranger within BEING. As for the other two members, Hitoshi Okamoto now doesn't know where he is. AZUKI Qi, who is a model, may still take photos in some well-known or unknown magazine.

GARNET CROW, in the eyes of later generations, or in the eyes of the outside world, was a band formed by the members who suddenly emerged because of their friendship.

However, before "like-minded" and then form a band, I don't know how many things it takes to go through before fate brings them together.

Now, the puzzle of the four corners is one corner in BEING and the other corner is in Ye Zhao's hand.

"These are a few songs that I have a little confidence after learning to compose. Please listen to them..." Yuri Nakamura handed over the prepared song sample.

Facing Ye Zhao, her expression was restrained and nervous.

Ele. I'm going to buy ingredients...
