Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 9

After signing a five-year contract with Sony, Kiyoshi Sakamoto immediately started preparing for his debut.

After listening to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "Close Your Eyes Lightly", Sony's executives are very confident in this newly signed newcomer.So after Kiyoshi Sakamoto signed the contract, with the aim of becoming famous in one fell swoop, he immediately mobilized various departments to support this single debut.

To debut as a single, all you need is a song, MV, and most importantly, promotion.As a newly debuted singer, a lot of exposure is king.Only in this way can an unknown artist be pushed in front of the people at once, so that more people can recognize Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and only when more people know each other can the single sell better.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto never persuaded him, after all, his company is now Sony Ye, Sony Dafa is good! !

As one of the four major records for Sony, isn't it easy to forcefully push it? .With the song already prepared, Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't need to worry about promotion or packaging.In this way, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's tasks are only record recording and shooting MV.

On this day, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, accompanied by a manager, went to a recording studio owned by Sony to record the song "Close Your Eyes Lightly".

As a person who hasn't made his debut yet, Kiyoshi Sakamoto certainly doesn't have any big-name managers following him, after all, no one has noticed him as a little shrimp.

However, Sony temporarily assigned him an old-fashioned agent, which can be regarded as helping him a lot.This agent is an uncle in his thirties. He is an old employee who has worked in a Sony company for more than ten years. Generally, if he has worked in a company for ten years, he will be promoted to some extent.

But this uncle is still a small manager, and now he doesn't have a single artist under him.It is because this uncle is too honest. After working under many artists, he has a good reputation, but he has no ambitions. Some artists want to take him out of other companies, but he refuses them all. Ten years have passed.

But Uncle Ishida enjoyed it. According to what he said, he loves Sony very much and wants to work at Sony until retirement.

For such an old employee, Sony assigned him to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a fledgling kid, and asked him to take care of a little white.

But this uncle named Ishida has been in the entertainment industry for ten years, but he is an old fritter in the entertainment industry. He knows the twists and turns of the entertainment industry. Fortunately, there is Uncle Ishida, otherwise Sakamoto, a novice, would do it in many places Incorrect. .

The RB entertainment industry is closely related to its social system, and has countless rules. As a senior and junior, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is extremely strict, and at the same time, it is very free. As long as you are rich or famous to a certain extent, no rules are rules. up.

After all, the rules are determined by the people. As the person at the top of the pyramid, what the hell are the rules. .

But all of this has nothing to do with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, after all, he is just a young undebuted singer, and he can only abide by those rules.

Uncle Ishida is such a person who taught him the rules to survive in the entertainment industry.

When he came to the recording studio, Kiyoshi Sakamoto bowed and greeted the recording engineer and the scholar bureaucrats as soon as he entered the door.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has lived in RB for more than ten years, although he still has the same heart, he is still like a standard RB person in many places. The etiquette of bowing has been done for countless times, and he has long since become numb.Just know that being polite is definitely good.

The people in the recording studio, looking at the newcomer that the company is promoting this year, lamented his youth, and returned the gift.Well, politeness works everywhere. .

Next, it's recording time.But for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it took about two or three hours to finish the recording work.After all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't know how many times he sang this song "Close Your Eyes Lightly", and he was already familiar with it.

After completing the recording of the song in a short time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was free.

Why?It's because the MV is still being filmed.Because Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not expect the recording to be completed so quickly, Sony has not yet contacted the staff and director who made the MV.But fortunately, Sony already has a group of familiar MV directors, and it is enough to find any one to shoot, but it still has to wait a few days, so Sakamoto Kiyoshi was given a few days off.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi suddenly got a vacation, thinking, if you are idle, you are idle, or you should go home.Action is worse than excitement. After buying a ticket to Nagasaki, Kiyoshi Sakamoto went home on the night of the recording.

January 2004, 1, Nagasaki City, Sakamoto's house.

"I'm back!" Sakamoto Kiyoshi shouted happily, holding a bunch of things and pushing open the door.

"Welcome home!" Sakamoto's mother in the living room replied flatly, as if she had been prepared for a long time.

Well?What's the situation, why does this look like three trials?Looking at Sakamoto's parents sitting on the sofa in the living room, and a little boy, Sakamoto Kaze.

"Come here, sit down." Dad said, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had no choice but to obediently put down the things in his hand, and sat on the sofa on the other side, ready to listen to the "education" of his parents. .

"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"

Several cannons rang in the house, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who hadn't reacted yet, found an unexpected person appearing at home.

Fukuyama Masaharu came out of the kitchen holding the cake, and said with a smile, "Congratulations on signing the contract! KIYO!"

Looking at Fukuyama, then at his parents, and the salute in the hands of Xiao Sakamoto, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's eyes turned a little red.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto never imagined that the most important people in his life were here to support him. To be honest, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was not a person who loved to cry, but at this time, he could only hold back his tears and smiled at his own. Family members and teachers, saying "Arigado!! Arigado!! Arigado!!"

Before the words fell, Kiyoshi Sakamoto couldn't help it anymore, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, but his face was still smiling, forming a unique look with tears in his smile.

At this time, a hand was stretched out from the side, holding a tissue in it. It was Feng Sakamoto. The ten-year-old brother looked at his brother distressedly, and handed him a tissue.

"Ni Jiang, don't cry, be happy!"

"Yeah!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who took the tissue, replied emphatically after giving his younger brother a pat on the head.

"How do you know that I'm back today? I didn't tell you. I also asked my agent to buy the plane ticket... Uncle Ishida told you?"

"No, I asked him." Fukuyama Masaharu said at this time.

"Uh? Teacher, do you know uncle?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto couldn't think of any intersection between Uncle Ishida and Masaharu Fukuyama. After all, one is a big star and the other is a small manager. Apart from their age, Kiyoshi Sakamoto couldn't think of other similarities.

"Because he is my classmate!"

"Hey???? Uncle Ishida is your classmate! He also studied in Nagasaki??!"

Unexpectedly, this world is so small, and another "relationship household" appeared beside him, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto was powerless to complain.

Wherever I go, there are people who are related to me. Fukuyama is my father's junior and my teacher.Uncle Ishida is Fukuyama's classmate and his manager.There are not many Nagasaki people in the Tokyo entertainment industry, so why did I meet them all. .This can all form the Nagasaki Gang. . .

Thinking of Kiyoshi Sakamoto here, he complained in his heart, "This is amazing, my brother!"

Next, after spending his 14th birthday at home, Sakamoto took a plane with his teacher Masaharu Fukuyama and returned to Tokyo.

January 1, Tokyo.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had just returned to Narita International Airport in Tokyo, suddenly felt the phone vibrate in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was Kobashi and Nanami Hashimoto.

Seeing the birthday greeting message Xiaoqiao sent to himself, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was very happy.

In the past two years, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has kept in touch with Nanami Hashimoto, and sometimes he often went to Hokkaido to find Xiaoqiao to play with. As for the loli version of Laoqiao, Sakamoto Kiyoko already regarded her as his younger sister.So when I receive her text message, I will reply with a sentence or two no matter how busy I am.

On the taxi ride home, Sakamoto Kiyoshi kept flirting with the little loli on his mobile phone.

It didn't take long to arrive at the downstairs of the apartment in Meguro District. After three days, Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned to his kennel in Tokyo.

As a traveler who made a small fortune in the 2002 World Cup, although he has some money, probably tens of millions of yen, it is still not enough for him to buy a large set in the center of a city like Tokyo. house.A small house is definitely fine, but in Kiyoshi Sakamoto’s opinion, if you want to buy one, you can buy a big one, or you can live in the current one first. Anyway, he is the only one living here, and he has lived there for two years, and he has feelings for him.

Back in the room, Sakamoto Kiyoshi immediately lay down on the bed, sent a few text messages to Xiaoqiao with his mobile phone, and then said goodnight to each other.The exhausted Sakamoto Kiyoshi fell asleep after sending a safe message to his family and Fukuyama. . . .

The next day is a working day.It was the day when Kiyoshi Sakamoto shot the MV.

Fortunately, I went to bed early yesterday, otherwise Kiyoshi Sakamoto wouldn't be able to wake up.Under the bombardment of phone calls from manager Uncle Ishida, Kiyoshi Sakamoto hurriedly got into the car waiting downstairs in the apartment building, and was driven by Uncle Ishida to the studio where the MV was shot.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi still looked like he was dying in the car, but when he got out of the car, it seemed that he had changed his face and walked into the set with a sunny and warm expression.

Fortunately not late.Someone touched the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead and thought happily.

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at a middle-aged man who looked like a director, talking to a young girl.

And when Sakamoto took a closer look, he was shocked!
