The opening of China Entertainment Group gave Jay Chou a head-on confrontation

Chapter 499 Riding on the back of the silver dragon

When it comes to Akina Nakamori, many Chinese people's memory of her may be based on just three words: love-brained.

This impression is largely due to her tooth-splitting love affair with the famous scumbag Kondo Masahiko. The so-called "suicide for love, eight hours of rescue in the hospital" directly made her the title of Japan's most stupid love-brained person in the eyes of Chinese people.

But in fact, the real reason for her suicide was not because of this man.

Back then, Kondo Masahiko was not enough to make this rebellious and stubborn woman stab herself with a gesture of no desire to live. What really made her go to the end of her road was precisely the family members who kept sucking her blood and insulting her, as well as... Mari Kitagawa and Kosugi Ryuzo.

The only thing that was good to her was her mother, who had to undergo long-term treatment for cancer;

Her sister took nude photos in her name in order to become famous, but after being scolded, she put the blame on Akina Nakamori.

After she became famous, her brother and father quit their original jobs and stayed in the pub opened by Akina Nakamori, claiming to help run the business and constantly sucking money from her. In the end, they even asked Akina Nakamori to borrow 2 million yen to build another building to provide them with the space to open a store, provide accommodation, and live, etc.

2 million yen was not a small sum in the s. In the s, Gin only dared to rob billion yen when he robbed a bank in Japan.

As expected, due to her family's poor management, Akina Nakamori was forced to sell the building before the loan was repaid.

Her financial situation was in trouble, and her family cut off all contact and relations with her because they could no longer suck her blood; Mary Kitagawa, nicknamed the Queen of Johnny's, and her accomplice Riuzo Kosugi set up a trap to threaten her.

Devastated by the blows she received from her family and the darkness of the Japanese entertainment industry, Akina Nakamori lost the will to live and stabbed herself.

If it weren't for the amazing Japanese medical technology at the time, which saved her from the brink of death after several hours of rescue, she might have really died.

This is also the reason why Akina Nakamori took all the blame on herself in the famous Japanese Entertainment Golden Screen Incident - even though she had escaped from the gates of hell, she still could not escape the threat from Mary Kitagawa and Kosugi Ryuzo.

The reason is simply because Mary Kitagawa likes the artist Kondo Masahiko from her own agency very much and wants to protect him.

And this man, Riozo Kosugi, who worked together with Mary Kitagawa, the queen of Johnny & Associates, to cheat her, soon had another identity - the new chairman of Warner Music (Japan).

Akina Nakamori, who had worked with Warner Records for ten years at its peak, saw her own end after the new chairman took office.

Since then, Akina Nakamori left Ken-On Agency, and because she could no longer get big resources at Warner and could no longer release albums, she officially stepped down from the altar and has never been back on it since.

"She probably wants to come and work with you to see if there is any opportunity."

As an insider of Warner (China), Qian Jiang immediately made a judgment after hearing about this incident: "Kosugi Riuzo left Warner Japan after 97, and it is precisely because of this that she has been making more and more noise in recent years.

"First, they covered the songs of their old rival Seiko Matsuda, and this year's new album "Resonancia" even had a gimmick of a nude cover, just to attract attention, but the effect was not as good as expected."

The phenomenon of people leaving and the tea getting cold is common in all countries in the world.

For an original singer like Akina Nakamori who has a very high national popularity in Japan, the biggest reason why her resources have recovered in recent years is because the person at the helm of Warner has changed.

At 38 years old this year, she is at the age to ride the wind and waves.

As for the relationship, the nonsense of being hurt by love and closing one's heart for love is pure nonsense. She is now in a sweet relationship with her boyfriend outside the entertainment circle. They lived together in an apartment in Tokyo last year, although it seems that they have broken up again.

To quote a popular saying: Just because she is not married, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a boyfriend.

"What does Warner Japan have to do with Warner China? Can I still ask Warner Japan to sign her again?" Zhou Yi was a little confused.

Akina Nakamori's market value has now hit rock bottom, and there is no way he would sign her even if he were the president.

She was beautiful back then, but that was only then. Now Akina Nakamori is old and her smile is not as sweet as before.

"She probably wants to copy Miyuki Nakajima's approach and come to you in person to buy songs."

Qian Jiang laughed when he knew that Zhou Yi didn't pay much attention to the dynamics of the Japanese music scene. On July 2003, 7, the Japanese drama "Doctor Goto's Clinic" produced by producer Ken Tsuchiya was officially broadcast on Fuji TV.

Correspondingly, the theme song of this medical and inspirational Japanese drama, "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon," has gradually resounded in every street corner in Japan over time.

This song, adapted from a song by Zhou Yi and written and sung by Miyuki Nakajima, benefited from the huge fame of Zhou Yi and Miyuki Nakajima in Japan. After its release as a single on July 7, it directly topped the Oricon Weekly Chart on its debut, becoming Miyuki Nakajima's best-performing single since the new century.

As a result, the drama "Dr. Goto's Clinic" has received a lot of attention since its launch and has become extremely popular. It has been hailed by many as the Japanese drama of the year and is expected to sweep multiple awards at this year's Japanese Drama Academy Awards.

As the author of the original song, Zhou Yi naturally became a hot topic again because of this drama and the person Miyuki Nakajima.

In Japan, the song "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon" was released as a single only a week ago, but its sales have exceeded 20 copies. Even the original singer Zhang Shaohan's "The First Dream" has become popular in Japan.

Many fundamentalists even used "The First Dream" written by Zhou Yi to criticize Miyuki Nakajima, saying that her adaptation had completely changed the inspirational mood of the original lyrics that was unique to Chinese, and denounced it as a crime!
“A comedy is not nonsense, and an adaptation cannot be made up randomly!

"The collaboration between Zhou Yijun and Angela gave the song "The First Dream" a fresh and vigorous vitality, but I couldn't feel this vitality in Miyuki Nakajima's lyrics."

"Don't drag them down. They each have their own advantages. The adaptation of "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon" by Miyuki Nakajima is obviously based on the TV series and has been processed to fit the TV series. We can't just confuse them like that."

"It's so sad, a cover song from China actually won the first place on the Oricon chart. This is a shame for the Japanese music scene!"

"He speaks better than he sings. That's Zhou Yi-sama! He has penetrated the United States. Is it surprising that his song won the first place on the Oricon charts?"

"That's right, he's the emperor of Asian pop music! Is it embarrassing to lose to the emperor?"

"Isn't it Chinese pop music? How did it become Asian pop music?"

"..."

In Japan, with the popularity of the TV series and the huge sales of the single, the debate about whether Zhou Yi is the emperor of Asian pop music has started again. There are even many fans begging Zhou Yi to release Japanese songs to slap the faces of his opponents.

This behavior, which Zhou Yi considered to be against the will of Heaven, made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Of course, he was embarrassed because in his memory, these controversies actually occurred on the song "The First Dream"; and for the Taiwanese music circle, Zhou Yi's behavior of counterattacking the Japanese music circle's base camp was somewhat disconcerting.

Fumao Records, which had received a piece of cake, was even more ecstatic. It temporarily abandoned its so-called prejudice and pushed Zhang Shaohan out first.

Make money, not shabby.

As a member of Zhou Yi's team on this trip to Taiwan, Ning Hao, a relatively unknown person who came to Taiwan with the Warner staff because "In the Name of the Father" was selected as the best video, also saw for the first time the big names who were familiar to him in his memory take the initiative to talk to Zhou Yi at the banquet.

This was a party officially organized by the Golden Melody Awards. Basically, all nominees for all awards were invited to come and drink and chat with the award presenters. It was also a chance to socialize.

We are all in the same circle, maybe we can cooperate with each other in the future.

Didn’t you see that Akina Nakamori, who came here forcibly, was talking to Zhou Yi about the adaptation rights of the song "Fairy Tale"?

It's just that he felt somewhat awkward and restless.

Whenever someone saw him and the first thing they said was "You are Mr. Ning Hao, the director of In the Name of the Father, right? I've heard a lot about you", he would always feel really choked up inside...

I really didn’t direct the damn movie “In the Name of the Father”!

I swear to God!
That damn Jiang Wen stole my director position!
