043 Choice and decision

"Sister, have you paid too much attention to that child recently? Has the office devoted too many resources to him?" Johnny Kitagawa spread several newspapers and weekly magazines on the table, and the titles above were all without exception.

They all mentioned Lin Junxiu. "Although this kid has been nominated for the 'Naoki Award', he may not be able to win this award. Are we exaggerating too much?"

"Is it too much? I haven't seen enough?" Mary Kitagawa replied calmly. "Jenny, this child's achievements in the literary world are no longer something we can suppress. I asked my old friends in the literary and art circles.

, they all praised him. A 14-year-old junior high school student could write such a profound and interesting book.

How many interesting novels can you find in Japan? And that guy Shizuka Denzono has high praise for this kid. Do you really think that without our recommendation, this kid would have no future? Rather than wait for this kid to become famous.

We will add icing on the cake later, why not give this kid help in the nick of time before he becomes famous?

Jenny, you are just angry now that this kid is not Takizawa's kid! Why are the already-debuted artists in the agency unwilling to talk about Lin on the show? Isn't it because you are blocking it behind the scenes? Jenny, actually, put aside your prejudice and watch

As for Lin, this child, he may be the best among the group of young Johnnys you choose. And his future achievements will not only be Kondo Masahiko and Hikaru GENJI!

You like that kid Takizawa, I have no objection; but if you insist on suppressing Lin, I hope you can consider the interests of the firm. The firm wants to make money but also expand its influence, and this kid Lin is obviously worthy of our investment! By the way

, I heard from people at Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House that a film company is already approaching them, hoping to obtain the film and television adaptation rights of "4TEEN". Jenny, this is our best opportunity to enter film and television production,

If you miss it, you may not have such a good opportunity!”

"But sister, do you think we can control this child? Aren't you afraid that in the end the attempt will be in vain?" Johnny asked with some confusion, "I heard that he has been negotiating with Julie. He

Not only did he transfer the copyright of all the songs he created to Toshihide Music Ltd. under his name, but he also required that all his future record production contracts be transferred to Hayashi Produ Studio. In other words, in the future, Johnny & Associates will only be his

It’s just an agency.”

"So what? Did we lose money?" Mary replied nonchalantly, "Indeed, I also hope that I can hold all the interests of this child in my hands. But what is the actual situation? This child

There are so many benefits that can be generated, do you think we can eat them all? And if this child is smart enough, he will take the initiative to share his benefits with us. After all, we are the most reliable around this child.

's backer."

Johnny seemed to want to say something else, but couldn't find a suitable entry point, so he could only sigh silently.

At about the same time, Yonemura Daishiro, Noda Yuya, Fujiie Kazui and Ishigaki Daisuke all gathered at the home of Yodogawa Yuhiro. Yodogawa Yuhiro was the oldest of their group of Little Johnnys and the drummer in the band organized by Yonemura.

Yonemura relayed what Lin Junxiu told him to everyone, and everyone was gathering here to discuss whether to accept Lin Junxiu's kindness.

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Lin joined the company later than all of us, right? Only Yonemura and Noda are probably his contemporaries, right?" Yuhiro Yodogawa said with some emotion.

"He didn't seem to be such an eye-catching little Johnny before this year, right? Let alone Takizawa Hideaki and Obara Yuuki, he is probably not even as good as Machida Shingo? I didn't expect that he became Julie in just one year.

Sang's confidant not only obtained resources that were not inferior to Takizawa-kun, but also successfully provoked a conflict between Ohara-kun, Yokoyama-kun and Takizawa-kun. While they were fighting, he took advantage of the situation and got the next opportunity to debut.

, and he is making his solo debut. Although his methods are ruthless, he is not unique.

To be honest, if I had to choose between Takizawa Hideaki, Obara Yuki and him as the leader of Kanto Johnny's, I would vote for him. Takizawa-kun is too much of a solitary eater, and Obara-kun only cares about the people around him.

He will consider the overall situation. Therefore, I am not opposed to cooperating with him, but I hope to get more things. If nothing else happens, we will all be in high school the year after next. If we can't decide whether we can debut before college

, anything else doesn’t mean much. Although he can’t guarantee that we can debut, he has a chance to put us on the debut list. Ojiro, do you understand what I mean? We need more of him

Only the promise will do.”

Among the band members, Yonemura and Yodogawa basically have the main opinions. Now the two have basically reached a consensus, and no one else has any objections. What everyone is interested in now is how much return they can get from Lin Junxiu.

In this regard, Yonemura said that he will have a good talk with Lin Junxiu on Monday, because Yonemura is also very eager to debut.

The reason why I couldn't contact Lin Junxiu until Monday was because in addition to being interviewed by "Literary Spring and Autumn" at home over the weekend, Lin Junxiu also had to contact a suitable recording studio. Because Lin Junxiu was unwilling to hand over the production rights of the record to Jay.

Nis had it in his hands, so Johnny only helped to make a cooperation list for a recording studio. Lin Junxiu needed to negotiate which recording studio to choose and how much it would cost. Fortunately, Lin Junxiu recorded the second single at KinKi Kids.

I participated in the whole process of the song, so I still have a clear understanding of things here. In addition, Johnny & Associates did not give up completely. Lin Junxiu finally found a suitable recording studio on Sunday. Although the price is a bit expensive, Lin Junxiu

Junxiu thinks it’s worth it.

In the opinion of many people, singing in a recording studio is similar to singing in a KTV. Put the accompaniment that has been prepared in the earphones, and then sing into the microphone. In fact, because the microphone in the recording studio is very

Professional directional microphones, coupled with the sensitivity far exceeding the microphones used by ordinary people, therefore any flaws in the singer's voice will be infinitely amplified by the equipment.

Although today's recording equipment is not as good as the future, if you want to modify the sound, it can still be modified. But once anyone's voice is over-modified, the original emotion contained in the sound will be reduced, and even the human voice will become electronic. This

In the 1990s when physical records had not yet declined, that was unforgivable. Therefore, Junxiu Lin had to record under the repeated requests of the sound engineer until he found the most perfect track.

In addition to singing the original soundtrack, Lin Junxiu also needs to record several harmony parts. For those singers who are not good at sense of tone and pitch, recording the harmony parts is very painful. Because the harmony parts require

Decrease or raise the tone according to the main tone, so that when combined with the main tone, it will appear full and abundant. Of course, this does not mean that singers at the level of kings and queens do not need backup singers, because everyone’s

The timbre is basically fixed. In order to enrich the timbre, I still need to find other harmonizing singers to help me harmonize.

In addition to pitch, the cleanliness of the voice is also very important. To put it simply, don't be too greasy. Some singers obviously don't even master the basic singing techniques and have to play with skills. As a result, to the audience, the voice seems to be soaked in

In the greasy lard, how can the audience listen? A good voice should be as smooth as clear spring water. This actually has a lot to do with pronunciation skills. For singers who have just entered the studio

In other words, insufficient preparation of the throat and incomplete opening of the throat may result in the recorded dry sound not being clean enough.

"I originally recorded a single because it was easy, I just had to stand in front of the microphone and sing. As a result..." Akanishi Jin was hit hard by the recording studio. Since Akanishi Jin is not very familiar with pronunciation skills now, plus

Shunshu Kamabayashi's song also has elements of rhythm and blues, so it requires a lot of transposition. As a result, Akanishi Jin recorded it several times, but the results were terrible. In the end, the sound engineer had to let him rest and record Kamenashi Kazuya first.

part.

"Don't use too many techniques, just return to your original nature and sing. The more techniques you use, the harder it will be for the sound engineer to fix your sound later." Lin Junxiu told Akanishi Jin a little trick, "That part

You have no problem rapping, right?"

"I've practiced this part, and it felt good when I was recording it. The sound engineer asked me to rest and try again."

Since Lin Junxiu only rented it for 5 hours, he had to come back tomorrow for unfinished work. In order to thank Akanishi Jin and Kamenashi Kazuya for their help, Lin Junxiu specially invited them to dinner. Originally, Kamenashi Kazuya said no.

It was necessary to be so extravagant, but Akanishi Jin said that Lin Junxiu had written a book about becoming a rich man, and this kind of dinner was nothing. Lin Junxiu did not dissuade Akanishi Jin from bragging. After all, the matter of publishing his own book had already been discussed by Bungeishunqiu Publishing House and Johnny & Associates.

Driven by the promotion, it began to appear in major media, and "Literary Spring and Autumn" was about to publish an exclusive interview with him. There was no point in hiding this kind of thing.

After the recording ended, Lin Junxiu sent Akanishi Jin and Kamenashi Kazuya home directly, and he returned to the office to prepare to record today's work content into the process. Lin Junxiu didn't stay in the office for long when he saw Oshimaro Yonemura leaving.

Come in.

"Lin Jun, we can basically promise you about the band. But we hope to get a promise from you, which is to try your best to help us debut." Yonemura Dajiro said, "After all, we are also eager to stand in front of the stage."

"Whether you can debut or not needs to be determined by Jason and Marisan, even Julie-san can't guarantee it," Lin Junxiu said.

And according to the normal development process, it will be Arashi's turn to debut immediately after him. After Arashi will be Taki and Tsubasa. Although there is almost two years between them, too many things happened in 1999. Johnny & Associates

Because of these disturbances, too much energy has been involved. However, Lin Junxiu feels that it seems that it can be put into operation. If his Hayashi Produ Studio develops well, he will probably give Yonemura's band a vest label to debut. And if it really doesn't work,

, at worst, the agency can allow Kansai Johnny ∞ to make a limited debut in Osaka, and at the same time, let this band also make a limited debut in Tokyo, and then they can create a formal opponent and use this to create a lot of hype.

Thinking of this, Lin Junxiu replied, "I can't give you a 100% guarantee, but I promise that if I have the opportunity, I will do my best to help you."
