Tokyo's most affectionate

The appearance of new works is already eye-catching, and with the new masks, the discussion is extremely heated.

Data is not only limited to the number of views of new works, but also in many aspects.

For example, the speed of rise, attention, discussion, and enthusiasm of fans are all factors that reflect the fame of artists.

With the data of the new works, Igarashi Runa was ecstatic. Although people in the industry went back to their own homes, most of them were paying attention to this moment.

"This is too exaggerated."

"Are masked artists so popular?"

Seeing the crazy growth in the number of views and comments of the video, and the number of fans, the major agencies in the industry were deeply shocked and even envious.

Just looking at the effect of this video, the rise of Zero Hour is a foregone conclusion.

Most agencies are shocked and yearning, but the reaction of Phantom Star Agency is different.

Like other agencies, at 0:00 in the morning, most of the company's employees and senior executives went back to their own homes. Only some artists with notices and related teams are still working overtime.

After returning home, Miya Hamada, who had already taken a shower and lay on the bed, watched the video on her mobile phone as soon as possible.

As a singer who debuted for many years in the Showa period but has retired, Miya Hamada has strong basic skills in music. She is not only good at singing, composing and writing lyrics, but also has experience in various musical instruments.

Before she retired, she had many works that were popular all over the country and even famous overseas.

In the entertainment circle, she is an absolute senior in the field of singers.

That's why when she was wearing headphones, watching the video and listening to the performance, she was pulled into the world of piano sound.

"Flight of the Bumblebee..."

Seeing the figure sitting in front of the piano and playing with exquisite piano skills on the mobile phone, Miya Hamada's expression froze and her mood was very complicated.

Even if she refused to admit it, she even had the idea that as long as Lingshi didn't show up for a day, she would insist that it could not be Kurosawa Hikaru.

But in fact, she knew that there was at least a 70% chance that Lingshi was Kurosawa Hikaru.

Especially the appearance of this adapted piano piece, Flight of the Bumblebee, the possibility has been raised to a higher level.

"Why can your piano skills improve so quickly?"

Thinking of this possibility, Hamada Miya saw the unparalleled piano skills, in addition to regret, more felt incredible.

During the review that day, Kurosawa Hikaru's piano skills in playing "Flight of the Bumblebee", although he was gifted and promising at a young age, were still a bit immature, giving her a feeling of reading from a script.

In comparison, Lingshi's attainments and level in piano, even if he played a piano piece like "Croatian Rhapsody" which was not difficult, for those who really knew the business, they could feel his superb piano skills.

Lingshi is worthy of the name of a master, but the name of the piano god is too loud and the achievements are too few, so it will attract ridicule.

However, Lingshi's performance at the Kawai Piano Competition in Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, relying on a piece of Liszt's "The Bells", completely confirmed this title.

In fact, there are many people in this world who can play Liszt's "The Bells". Although it is recognized as a difficult piano piece, many well-known pianists can play it after a long period of practice.

However, being able to play a piece does not mean mastering it.

The so-called mastering means that the same piano piece can be played by pianists of different levels with very different effects.

Looking around the world, she can't even think of a second person who can completely master "The Bells" like Zero Hour, with impeccable integrity, smooth flow, beautiful artistry, and incomparable emotions.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zero Hour's level, in her opinion, is a well-deserved piano master, a level that makes her look up to him and amazed.

Just like now, this song "Flight of the Bumblebee" makes her feel that even if the score is given to her, the effect of her performance will definitely pale in comparison.

Just when she was distracted, her mobile phone suddenly vibrated a few times, and a message prompt popped up.

That was the company's board of directors group, questioning by name.

"Miya Hamada, do you have anything to say?"

If it is said that the collaboration between Zero Time and Runa Igarashi is a new song that has never been heard before, it can be said that it is someone else.

But the appearance of this song "Flight of the Bumblebee" shows a lot of things.

Whether Zero Time is Kurosawa Hikaru or not, it is an indisputable fact that he has a strong relationship and connection with Kurosawa Hikaru.

Even if he is not Kurosawa Hikaru, he is very likely to be Kurosawa Hikaru's piano teacher.

With such a teacher, if Phantom Star Agency had signed Kurosawa Hikaru, it would definitely have a bright future.

If this Zero Time is really Kurosawa Hikaru, then Phantom Star Agency is equivalent to missing an opportunity to take off and become the leader of the industry.

Miya Hamada knows the truth. Facing this question, she, who already felt regretful, clicked into the group and typed a paragraph.

"I will resign."

After taking a deep breath, Miya Hamada sent the message out.

After sending this message, her arms suddenly went limp on the bed, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away.

She knew very well how much loss her arrogance and pride had brought to the company.

In fact, she already regretted it when Runa Igarashi chose to resign.

But what's the use of regret? There is no regret medicine in this world.

Even though she wanted to apologize and took action, Igarashi Runa did not accept her apology at all and did not intend to forgive her.

"It would have been nice to hear him play one more song, why do we have to give him a blow?"

Thinking of what happened back then, Hamada Miya couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, she was very optimistic about Kurosawa Hikaru. After seeing him play "Flight of the Bumblebee", she decided that he would definitely become popular, and she gave her absolute attention and high hopes, and even cherished his talent. , intending to train him personally.

But the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. As a newcomer who has not yet debuted, Kurosawa Hikaru dared to impose conditions on the company, and even went so far as to become a masked artist to hide his handsome and handsome appearance. .

"He's not even famous yet. If he's not well-known, he doesn't know how great the world is. If he becomes famous, wouldn't he not even take the company seriously?"

With this kind of thinking, she made a misjudgment and directly gave Kurosawa Hikari a blow and refused to sign a contract with him.

Judging from the consequential theory, Kurosawa Hikaru dared to raise conditions in the first place entirely because he had absolute confidence in his own strength.

"well."

Thinking of her original wrong judgment, Hamada Miya felt upset and there was a feeling of depression in her chest.

…

At 1 o'clock in the morning, a car drove away from the Zero Hour Office and embarked on its way home.

"One hour, 1.83 million views, a video posted in the early morning can have such a response, it is really unbeatable. If you continue this upward trend, I feel that if you continue to develop for another year, it may even be possible to premiere Breaking the premiere record.”

Igarashi Runa was still excited as she drove the car.

Perhaps this is not the most exaggerated data in the history of YouTube, but it is already very impressive to be able to achieve such outstanding results after just debuting at zero time.

"Premiere record?"

Kurosawa Hikaru was a little curious when he heard this function.

"The premiere is a function similar to a live broadcast. It allows fans to join the channel half an hour in advance and watch the new video live. In YouTube's history, the most exaggerated single premiere record is 1.54 million real-time viewers."

Igarashi Runa nodded slightly and explained while driving seriously.

"so much……"

Kurosawa Hikaru was a little stunned when he heard this amount.

1.54 million, this is an exaggerated number of people... Although this is incomparable to the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala, but as a single, it is already a very considerable number.

"Youtobe is the video website with the largest number of users in the world, with billions of viewers, and the traffic is exaggerated. Do you know the number of views in 24 hours for the single video with the highest number of views on the first day in the world?"

Igarashi Runa nodded slightly, and then asked.

"How many?"

"Would you like to take a guess?"

"thirty million."

Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a while. Although he reached 1.83 million views in one hour, this was predicted in advance, and the growth rate of the subsequent views should slow down.

"More than that."

"Sixty million?"

Hearing this statement, Kurosawa Hikaru's heart skipped a beat and doubled in size.

"It's still far more than that."

At this guess, Igarashi Runa smiled and shook his head.

"One hundred million?"

Far more than this statement is terrifying, Kurosawa Hikaru thought of a number and couldn't help but say.

"Yes, the number of views exceeded 100 million on the first day, ranking first in the world. The cumulative number of views in the past two years is 1.6 billion. This is a record set by a national group in South Korea. At present, in terms of the number of views of piano music alone, you It broke the record for the most plays on the first day of a piano song in just one hour.”

Seeing that he finally guessed it right, Igarashi Runa nodded slightly and explained.

After all, piano music is not popular music, and attention is insufficient.

"Such an exaggeration..."

Kurosawa Hikaru was shocked by this data, the traffic on YouTube, and the influence of the national-level group.

Although YouTube's playback volume, in terms of singles, is played repeatedly, each user will accumulate a lot of playback volume. But to be able to achieve such data, the influence of that national-level group is absolutely phenomenal.

"Maybe their playback volume is exaggerated, but you don't need to be discouraged, because you are taking different routes. Especially your ability to attract money is simply terrifying, much stronger than those combinations."

Seeing his expression, Igarashi Runa also smiled.

Just one video and one performance can attract sky-high contracts worth tens of billions.

Although the contract was not signed, it was not easy to get the money. It required two years of travel and hard work, and thanks to Kawai Piano's desire to make a big gamble, Kurosawa's potential was unquestionable.
