After bankruptcy, I was invited by Chihaya Aine to join mygo

"So, how about trying to be unique?" Xiangzi suggested. "For example, Mikami-kun and I are both good at piano, so we can definitely base our work on piano."

"Well, how about trying a four-hand piano duet?" Xiangzi said. "Of course, Mikami-kun will just be in charge of the composition, and I'll be in charge of the subsequent arrangements."

Because he had sung on the white album, Xiangzi knew very well that the songs produced by Mikami-kun were of high quality.

But even good wine needs to be hidden in a remote place.

Especially since they are in urgent need of money now, rather than being able to slowly accumulate fame.

So it needs publicity and popularity.

At least now they don’t have that much money for publicity, so they can only find other ways.

For example, you can add a gimmick.

Playing the piano is normal, but what if two people play together? It becomes something special.

Just like when Yu Mikami used a calculator to perform before, it can quickly catch other people's attention.

However, calculators can only be used for pranks and to increase popularity a little. Their goal is to produce songs that sell over hundreds of millions of copies, not just small-scale sales.

So, Xiangzi’s proposal is indeed a plan.

From this perspective, although Xiangzi came from a wealthy family, she was not an ignorant young lady. She had her own insights into music.

And isn't she also quite good at running commercial bands?

I understand very well what elements are needed for a new band or group to suddenly take off.

and so.

Did she ever have the idea of ​​transforming Crychic into a mainstream commercial band to make money?

But in the end he chose to leave, because just like Su Shi was obsessed with Crychic and Deng hoped to get Xiangzi's recognition, Xiangzi actually spent a very good time in Crychic.

It is a beautiful past that can never be returned.

It was something that was once considered a treasure.

Therefore, I can't bear to destroy it.

From this perspective.

After I took over Crychic, I turned it into a commercial band like mygo, which I feel a bit embarrassed about.

but.

He doesn't think there's anything wrong with his plan.

For example, the agreement just signed with Xiangzi stipulates that if Xiangzi withdraws, he must pay a penalty of 1 million yuan. Although it has some coercive implications, it can also bind the interests of the two and consolidate the relationship.

If a band is not to disband, then an economic foundation and interest binding are necessary.

Because everyone can't just live in the band. When they are not rehearsing or performing live, they have their own lives. So only after being tied together can we truly form a community of shared destiny.

By then, being a band for life won’t be fake anymore.

"Speaking of which, after our group debuts, which agency should we consider?" Xiangzi said again.

An economic company is a must.

Responsible for training, publicity, networking, and production, he is the singer’s first choice.

"What we already know..." She thought of the Toyokawa family she belonged to. She remembered that the Toyokawa family had a very famous agency under their umbrella. The Sumimi group was also under their management.

"It's best to have your own agency," said Mikami Yuu. "If you simply entrust it to another agency, they'll deduct a lot of commission."

Under normal circumstances, unknown newcomers can only get 20%-30% or even less, while those who have developed to a certain level as middle-level managers can get a higher proportion, about 50%, and those who become top superstars can get 70-80%.

And for newcomers like them.

It's reasonable to start from a young age. Don't be too ambitious.

but.

"If we look for an agency now, we'll be working for someone else. Once our group and Mygo's band produce enough music, our losses will be huge."

"What we can rely on is that the music is ours, and we have enough of it, so there's no need to give all of it away to others."

"Yeah." Xiangzi nodded.

She actually took this into consideration.

For example, she and Mikami-kun are currently collaborating on the white album, but their future songs will not only be on the white album.

If they simply wanted to sell the white album, the price might be set at tens of millions. The agency would then take 4000 million, they would get 1000 million, and then the 1000 million would be divided between two people, and they would have to thank the agency.

Is this reasonable? It is not reasonable.

Many great musicians also opened their own management companies after becoming famous and rich.

"So we register ourselves? But we're not old enough," Xiangzi said. "And we don't have any relevant experience."

Because she didn't have her guardian's consent, she could only find a job delivering newspapers. Even after entering high school, she could only choose from a few jobs.

These are all limitations.

"Can Mikami-kun contact your parents?"

Mikami Yu shook his head. "They left with their debts, and even I can't contact them for the time being."

"However, if you need a reliable parent." He paused.

"You can use my father... No, nothing." Xiangzi originally wanted to talk about her father, and she also hoped that her father could cheer up.

So if he sees their careers making progress, will he be able to regain his confidence and cheer up?

but.

Today, my father was bailed out from the police station after he collapsed on the roadside while drunk.

Although she still has faith in her father and hopes that he can cheer up, she cannot impose her hopes on Mikami-kun. If her father's problems lead to the collapse of his road to success, then it will not only be her who will be hurt, but also Mikami-kun.

So she couldn't do that.

Moreover, she is now the guardian of her father, and she needs to sign a consent form to obtain custody of her father when she is released on bail at the police station.

During the guardianship period, the father has no right to freedom at all.

So, she immediately retracted the statement.

"I'll ask either Tomo or Aine for help. Aine will definitely want to register her own company, ANON TOKYO, which is the clothing design company for the band mygo. So she'll go and convince her parents herself."

"But the most suitable person is indeed Su Shi's mother." Mikami Yu thought of Su Shi asking her mother to arrange a lawyer to draft a profit sharing and withdrawal agreement for their mygo band, indicating that the other party knew about this matter, so he could use the fact that in order to make mygo profitable, a reliable agency was needed to protect it, and then let the other party assist in setting up an agency.

As a good mother who loves her daughter, there is a probability that she will agree.

As a new company, it would be extremely difficult to develop on its own without any backing. If she was the one who facilitated this matter, perhaps she could borrow the other party's resources and connections, and the new company would also have more people to protect it.

Just like Xiangzi’s proposal to set up an agency, ordinary singers would only consider it after they become famous, but they are different, they have high-quality repertoires in their hands.

This is their confidence and the reason why they cannot compromise easily.

Since you are a businessman, there is nothing that cannot be shaken by interests. If it still doesn’t work, then the money is not in place.

So maybe I can give it a try. Next time I can go find Su Shi and ask her to introduce me to her mother.

Mikami Yuu thought to himself.

As a newcomer, he still admires the single mother's counterattack and successful experience.

Therefore, if you can gain experience from others, it would be extremely useful.

Think so.

Yu Mikami opened his laptop. Although he didn't bring a charger with him, he didn't buy a gaming laptop but a business laptop, so the battery could last for 6 hours, which was more than enough for office use.

"First, let's decide on our names. Since we're a partnership, I'll pick half, and you'll get to choose the other half."

Yu Mikami gave some of the choice rights to Xiangzi.

"Name?"

"Well, it's just like an online name, but we need to pay attention that our name may become popular nationwide in the future, so we have to be cautious now." Mikami Yu reminded.

"In that case, let's adopt oblivious," said Xiangzi.

oblivious.

Translated it means to forget.

Xiangzi just read it out loud, and the word also appeared in Mikami Yu's mind. After all, if his English is not good enough, he will not be able to study in the UK, which is different from a certain British deserter.

but.

"Is it called Forgetfulness?" Mikami Yu asked Xiangzi again to confirm.

"Yeah." Xiangzi nodded.

It might be a good thing for her if she could forget everything that happened this year.

Although I know it is impossible, I still have some expectations in my heart.

"Okay." Yu Mikami then logged into his account and changed his account name.

【Yu-kun and oblivious】

"Youjun?" Xiangzi called out his name.

"Yeah." Mikami Yuu nodded. "Since it's a two-person collaboration, each of us has half the naming rights, so I added my own name."

"No." Xiangzi shook his head slightly and said, "Come to think of it, I just found out that Mikami-kun's real name is You."

"Then can I call Miss Toyokawa Xiangzi? Or Xiaoxiang, Xiang?" Mikami Yu considered that the two of them had become partners, so it would be a bit awkward to continue calling her Toyokawa-san.

"Xiangzi," said Xiangzi.

Is it.

Xiangzi.

But Xiangzi's expression seemed to be wrong.

"Well, although I'm used to being invited to sit down when I'm out, I still feel... a little embarrassed," Xiangzi explained.

Is it.

But he just felt a little embarrassed that she called him Yu (Haru).
