Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Office of the manager of the Sistar branch of Holy Light Society.

The older female secretary pushed the door open with a tablet computer in her hand and whispered to Ms. Maori, who was sitting in the boss's chair drinking coffee and reading music scores, "Manager, this is the music charts in Europe and America in the past week."

Ms. Maori continued to look at the music score and said without looking up, "Well, put it here. By the way, has Mr. Joffrey arrived?"

"The car to pick him up is on the way. I'll give him another call."

"Well, keep a close eye on it, and then vacate the small meeting room."

"Hayi!"

"Oh, call Xiao Qiao over."

"Is it Qiao Xinyu from China?"

"kindness."

The female secretary took the order and left until the sound of the door closing was heard. After a while, Ms. Maori, who had finished reading the music score, leaned back in the boss chair, picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"Do you want to enter the European and American markets? This task given by the president is too difficult."

Ms. Maori shook her head with some emotion, her old eyes looked a little tired, but there was also a hint of excitement in her tiredness.

Although Sistar has been absorbed by the Holy Light Society, the financial power of Sistar is currently managed by Chika Ohara of the headquarters, and the overall development strategy is in charge of Fujiko Sato and Miyano Mitsuwa, and even the Kawaguchi couple have intervened in the management of Sistar. However, except for the Kawaguchi couple who go to the front line for inspection two or three times a week, the senior management of the Holy Light Society, including Toru Fuyukawa, basically do not intervene in the specific management of Sistar.

To put it bluntly, Ms. Maori is now the actual person in power in Sistar, and it is different from before.

Although Sistar was a relatively well-known company in the entertainment industry, it was only a relatively well-known company. To put it bluntly, for an S-level variety show like "Summer Band", Sistar at that time could not get its own trainees in without spending a lot of money.

Entertainment companies are actually similar to novel websites.

The company is small and has an uncertain future, so potential and capable authors are unwilling to come. Similarly, it was very difficult for Sistar to recruit good talents in the society before, and the lack of good talents made it even more difficult for Sistar to develop and expand. But now everything is different.

Although the Holy Light Society is not a giant yet, it is already quite large and has extensive connections in the entire entertainment industry. Moreover, Dongchuan Che is now also a well-known lyricist and composer in the music industry.

The company's development is getting better and better, and Ms. Maori's social status is also rising. She is always a guest of honor at various music award ceremonies, and she has more and more artists and singers under her.

In this situation, she naturally became more and more motivated.

However, her position is not that easy to hold. In other words, working under Dongchuan Che, whether it is salary income or various rights and benefits, is indeed far higher than that of peers, but Dongchuan Che's requirements for the ability of his subordinates are also the highest in the industry.

Ever since Sistar was acquired by the Holy Light Society, Dongchuan Che had given instructions to Ms. Maori - to try every possible means to enter the Chinese, European and American markets.

Thinking of this, Ms. Maori sighed.

The Chinese music scene is relatively easy, but it is extremely difficult for Japanese singers to enter the European and American markets.

This is not only because of language problems, but also because music is an industry, and an industry that seems to have a low entry threshold but actually has an extremely high entry threshold.

To describe it simply, in the eyes of laymen, civil engineering means working on the construction site, hotel management means standing there and directing people, computer major means playing with computers, and psychology means being understanding.

But anyone who has taken professional courses should understand that many majors that seem simple to outsiders are actually extremely complex. There are a lot of things to learn, and the professional books are large and thick.

The same is true for music. The music industry is supported by a large amount of music theory knowledge, which is actually the accumulation and exploration of generations of musicians.

Japan's modern pop music was influenced by Western culture during the Meiji period and gradually evolved from Japanese traditional music. However, if we say that it truly entered the "modern pop music" stage, it was in the 1950s and 1960s, that is, Fujiyama Ichiro and Yoshinaga Sayuri, who were earlier than Yamaguchi Momoe and Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi. American modern pop music originated in the late 19th century.

Compared with Japan, the modern pop music industry in the United States has developed and accumulated more than sixty or seventy years, and this gap is mainly reflected in singing skills and songwriting.

To be honest, there were problems with writing lyrics and composing music. Ms. Maori naturally thought of looking for her boss and great composer Toru Fuyukawa, and Toru Fuyukawa did give her quite a few European and American songs.

However, she is still very actively contacting lyricists and composers in Europe and the United States.

On the one hand, because these songs are for other trainees and singers under Sistar, most of the songs given by Dongchuan Che are those that barely reached the first-line European and American singers in the previous life. However, Ms. Maori still regards them as treasures and is unwilling to let them go easily. She has to wait for talents who can match them and wait for the right time.

Secondly, if everything depends on Toru Fuyukawa, then what is the meaning of Ms. Maori's existence?

This is not just a question of the value of life, but also a question of whether or not you will be unemployed.

Ms. Maori is an old fox who has been in the entertainment industry for decades. She naturally understands that Dongchuan Che does not intervene in the management of Sistar. On the one hand, he really does not have the time, and on the other hand, he naturally hopes that Sistar will have the ability to generate income independently.

Although she has known Dongchuan Che for almost two years, she knows that Dongchuan Che is a great boss to his people, but she also understands Dongchuan Che very well that he is also a very decisive man.

If she fails to make a name for herself in this position, considering her past contributions and friendship, Toru Fuyukawa will most likely not kick her out. But he will probably make her retreat to the second line like Honda, the former managing director of Sistar, and lose the qualification for dividends and power, and have to take a sinecure to train newcomers.

The Holy Light Society's aircraft carrier had just left the port, and no one was willing to get off the ship at this time.

"There haven't been any strong new songs on the European and American charts in the past few weeks. According to intelligence, most of the top European and American singers don't seem to have any plans to release new albums in the near future. This is a good opportunity to strike!"

After taking another sip of coffee, Ms. Maori picked up the tablet and looked at the data on it. Her eyes were slightly excited.

Music is actually somewhat similar to games, both of which emphasize the saying "When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will be king."

To give a simple example, if we move some of the new generation of singers in the Chinese music scene back 20 years, how many of them would be able to earn as much money as they do today and have the same influence as they do today?

Now that Ms. Maori wants to "overthrow her superiors," she naturally has to be more cautious and choose a better time.

She had already relied on her personal connections and the company's resources to contact many European and American composers and accumulated a lot of songs. And the Joffrey who was coming today was a first-class lyricist and composer in Europe and America!

"Now that Xiao Kui has returned from China, the president should make an effort to promote her. I don't need to pay too much attention to her, as the president must have prepared excellent songs for her a long time ago. But if we can take advantage of Xiao Kui's success in opening up the European and American markets, we can promote Xiao Qiao. Her singing skills are excellent, but her vocal talent is still far behind Xiao Kui's. It is very unlikely that she will become popular in Europe and the United States. However, as long as she can gain some fame in Europe and the United States, it will be easier to promote her when she returns to the Chinese market in the future."
