Anime, but you can win a prize by confessing your love

The five of them fell silent.

Chapter 289 Relaxed Terms

"Of course, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Although our company is small, we are very experienced in training new bands. For example, the group 'Klimt Night' is one of our bands."

Seeing that the five members of the band fell into silence at the end, and one of the blue-haired girls carrying a bass and one of the fashionable pink-haired girls had turned pale, Miss Sima Du comforted everyone.

"Hey, Klim's Night, I've been listening to it a lot recently. So it's from your company?"

Social guru Xiao Xiduo knew these combinations very well, and was finally surprised when he heard the familiar names.

"of course."

The atmosphere was developing in a direction that allowed for further discussions.

Miss Sima Du took a sip of tea and continued speaking in a deep voice.

"In today's Japanese industry, with the establishment and maturity of the music system, the era when everyone could have a piece of the pie is over."

"As listeners are tired of traditional styles, the opportunities for record companies to make mistakes have been greatly reduced. Therefore, a feasible solution is widely used by most companies today—"

"Within our budget, we will fund you to complete the song, and then release it to a membership-based paid song website. If the response is good, we can consider producing a mini album for release."

It turned out to be the case.

Although it is not as good as what some people imagined, it is indeed the most practical training program.

Just when Hong Xia wanted to ask for more specific requirements, a trembling voice interrupted her -

"Excuse me, I would like to ask...how much money do you think is within the budget?"

It was Xie Liang. The light in her eyes had disappeared. She raised three fingers tremblingly, and her whole body was turning gray.

"Well, it's probably to reimburse the expenses from rehearsing in the studio to recording on separate tracks."

As soon as Miss Sima Du finished her answer, the two guys who had overpaid picked up the phone and contacted their respective customers to arrange returns.

"It seems that everyone has high expectations for our company."

she teased.

"After all, he is a child who has not yet reached adulthood. By the way, Ms. Manager, can you let me take a peek at the proposed contract in advance?"

Sima Du looked towards the steady voice, and a handsome young man came into his sight.

She had heard from Sato Aiko that this young man and the blond drummer were almost the "father and mother" of the band, taking care of the remaining three, and now it seemed to be true.

"no problem."

Sima Du handed the folder under his hand to Ye Mu. There were four or five pages of paper, which made the girls a little nervous.

It sounds easy, but after signing your name, everyone must truly fulfill their responsibilities according to the contract.

Five minutes passed as Liang and Xiao Boqi looked at each other with increasing despair, and as Ye Mu flipped through the papers.

"Okay... I understand. (So... there is really no room for maneuver?)"

With two heavy sighs, Xiao Boqi and Liang hung up the phone at the same time. After looking at each other, they saw sadness in each other's eyes.

On the other side, Ye Mu finally read the contract meticulously.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Ye Mu handed the contract back with both hands.

It seems that Miss Sima is indeed a record company manager with dreams and aspirations.

"Excuse me, how many years has Miss Sima been working?"

"Oh?"

Sato Aiko became interested. She kicked her feet on the wheelchair, slid to Sima Du, and held the latter's slender waist with her hands.

"Don't be fooled by her seriousness. She is only 22 years old and it's only her second year of work. That means she is younger than me~"

“The first year was spent on site, and the second year was spent trying to do the job.”

Sima Du added.

"Any questions?"

"No, all I can say is... the music industry needs more people like you!"

There is no penalty for breach of contract, no penalty for breach of contract!

If the new song is not completed, it will be postponed. The contract is for two years. If both parties have no objection, the contract will be renewed by default. During these two years, the company will provide the cost of producing the song, but there will be no punishment if the target is not achieved, and the profit sharing is also very generous!

If you look at it from a neutral perspective, this contract is even a little too biased towards the band.

Miss Sima heard this and raised her lips slightly:

"Young people must have some ideals... and I believe I will never make a mistake in choosing someone."

They didn't say it on purpose, but when the four girls saw Ye Mu so excited, they realized that this contract was beneficial to everyone.

After whispering for a while, everyone chose to believe Ye Mu's judgment.

"Sima-san, we have decided! We will develop under your company. Please take care of us in the future."

Hongxia was extremely serious and bowed with everyone to express her gratitude.

"Please take good care of me. I will do my best to train you all in the future."

The five people took turns stamping the seals with their names on them on the signature area. After completing this activity, a sense of relief rose from the bottom of their hearts.

"Oh, there's one more thing I need to confirm with you all - should we disclose the identity of Guitar Hero to promote it to the audience? After all, the company is not a charity, and we must consider all available bargaining chips."

In fact, regarding this point, Xiao Boqi has used Twitter and N Station to repost many times to attract traffic for the ending band.

Although it hasn't been stated explicitly, in the early videos uploaded by the band, little Bochi has not yet changed into the band uniform, and that pink tracksuit is very recognizable.

Old fans probably know something about it, but the effect of public promotion will definitely be completely different from what it is now, so everyone needs to consider it carefully.

"I think……"

"Let's not do that." ×3

Hong Xia, Xiao Boqi and Ye Mu said almost in unison.

The three of them looked at each other in surprise. Although they had different starting points, their answers were exactly the same.

At this time, Sato Aiko, who had been silent for a moment, also expressed her support:

"I also think it's better not to do that. It might even have the opposite effect... The higher the audience's expectations are, the more likely they are to nitpick."

"Because of the coordination of the band, not every performance can have countless opportunities for trial and error like uploading a video."

"Is this so..."

Sima Du lowered his head, looked at the floating tea leaves, then raised his head and smiled slightly:

"That's right. After all, once it's announced, the super-real boyfriend of Guitar Hero will all be the only male in the band."

"Eh~~~?"

Little Boqi never expected that at this time, someone would still discover this bright spot and pull it out to whip the corpse.

"Hahaha, that's right," Sato Aiko laughed, "The super ace of the basketball team, 1.8 meters tall, handsome, and has over a thousand Line friends..."

"I wonder how many other things Ye Jun has in common besides his appearance?"

The signing negotiation ended amidst such laughter and joy.

Chapter 290 It's time to pay back the debt,

That day, the sky was cloudless, and waves of heat continued to sweep across the earth along with the noisy chirping of cicadas.

The sea breeze blowing in from Tokyo Bay not only failed to alleviate the heat, but even turned it from a high temperature into a double magical attack of stuffiness and heat.

"The weather is so bad that the zebra crossing is almost melted. Who wants to go out?"

In the lounge of a closed driving school in Kawasaki City, adjacent to Tokyo's Ota Ward, Yamada Ryo was lying on the table with a comic book propped up in front of him, shouting in a completely unpresentable manner.

Next to her were Ye Mu and Hong Xia, but surprisingly this time they did not refute, because Liang also expressed their thoughts.

With a slight sigh, Ye Mu looked around.

"Sure enough, whether in Japan or China, summer vacation is always the busiest time for driving schools."

"Compared to this, I am more concerned about how Liang solved the huge loan of 40 yuan. Did Ye Jun really pay it back for her?"

Hongxia was curious and reached out to pull down the comic book that was standing in front of her and Liang, but the latter kept holding it tightly with his hand, preventing her from succeeding.

Obviously, Xieliang didn't want to think about this issue too much.

But just because she didn't say it doesn't mean Ye Mu won't say it.

Holding back the smile on his lips to avoid Liang's angry move, Ye Mu briefly described to Hong Xia what happened next that day.

"First of all, you have to know that although Xiao Boqi and Liang both made impulse purchases, there is a fundamental difference. Xiao Boqi spent his own money, while Liang..."

That day, after parting from the company, everyone was going back to their homes in groups of three or four, but when he and Xiao Boqi were halfway there, a girl with short blue hair approached quietly from behind.

"Ahem, little brother, do you need some compensated dating?"

The voice couldn't be more familiar, but the words were enough to make everyone who knew her drop their jaw.

"I said, could you please…"

Ye Mu turned back helplessly, and the girl naturally threw herself into his arms.

She raised her tearful yellow eyes: "Please, just give me the money!"

"No, I don't like this tune."

Liang's face froze and he thought for a moment. Just as he was about to change his tone, he heard Ye Mu continue.

"I mean don't keep doing this kind of thing where you seem to be exchanging your body for money. It always feels weird."

Liang curled his lips, broke free from his arms, and then touched the dumbfounded little Pochi.

"Well, we are already boyfriend and girlfriend. Apart from my body, I have nothing else to give you."

"Don't play the emotional card. I can help you pay back half of it, but you have to work to pay back the rest... and I need to punish you two tonight."

Many of these short stories cannot be told to Hong Xia's mother, so Ye Mu also skillfully used the Spring and Autumn style of writing to barely preserve Xie Liang's little self-esteem in front of Hong Xia.

Well, after all, ever since that night when he held her in his arms and walked around Yamada's villa, she felt like she was broken. She couldn't face Ye Mu and put on a cold expression for several days.

"That's true, but after Liang had you, he obviously made more impulse purchases!"

But even so, Hong Xia felt that Ye Mu was too indulgent.

"Yeah, so I'm currently considering whether or not to keep Liang's pocket money for her..."

Just don’t do this!

In order to show that he has been working hard, Liang took out the bag he brought from under the table.

"In fact, on the surface, it's driving training, but in fact, it's taking the opportunity to do a part-time job distributing advertising leaflets - they are in the cardboard boxes on all automatic training cars."

She must have worked hard for so long without being discovered by the coach!

The two of them smiled awkwardly.

At this moment, a familiar figure pushed the door open and upon closer inspection, it was Sideros' lead singer Otsuki Yuyuko.

"Youyouzi, this way~"

Hongxia waved.

Unlike other bands, although they were competitors before, the two bands also respect each other.

"Oh~ you guys are here too."

Otsuki Yuyuko brought a chair and sat down next to the three of them.

"Is Youyouzi here to practice driving too?"

"Well, although the manager can drive, it's better to be prepared... By the way, I heard that your band has been signed by a record company. Congratulations."

"Thank you, and congratulations to sideros for winning the unconfirmed Riot championship~ How is it, have you been offered olive branches by many companies?"

Hongxia was still having a fever on the day of the music festival, so she couldn't go to the scene. It was the other four people who were there who brought her the news.

"There were indeed some, but the conditions were too demanding, so the manager turned them all down for us."
