Chapter 284 Eye-to-eye contact

On Saturday, at 8:30 in the morning, the two people arrived at the Zero Hour Office.

Go straight to the lounge on the third floor and have to fill your stomach before officially doing business.

“It’s so delicious!”

Igarashi Runa took a bite of the rice ball and was immediately shocked.

This is not at the same level as the rice balls she buys from convenience stores in a hurry.

Then she ate another sandwich.

"You said you were good at cooking, is that true?"

A big rice ball and a sandwich, Igarashi Runa was full. She wiped the sauce from her mouth with a paper towel and was shocked.

This level, at least the restaurant level, is not the level of home cooking...even better than her. She obviously loves to eat, and she also studies cooking in her spare time.

This Kurosawa is incredible, I always feel like there is nothing he is not good at.

"If I didn't have confidence, I definitely wouldn't say it."

Seeing her expression and reaction, Kurosawa, who had just finished eating, smiled.

"But it's still very difficult to open a restaurant based on this alone... The catering industry is very difficult."

Although she agreed with his level, Igarashi Runa also reminded him.

"Take your time, it's just one of the alternative directions."

Kurosawa light his head slightly and did not deny this.

The reason why he thought of doing catering was because in his previous life, celebrities opened hot pot restaurants and made a lot of money, giving full play to the power of their stars.

There is no need to rush into this matter. It is not too late to make plans after the Japanese skill is upgraded to the proficiency level.

"The trendy clothing brands you mentioned before are a good direction...but before that, we still need to stabilize our fundamentals."

Igarashi Runa nodded slightly and expressed her opinion.

Although it is a very important goal to develop the firm as soon as possible, it cannot be rushed.

After that, Igarashi Runa stood up, walked to the side and took out a few contracts, and handed them to Kurosawa Hikaru:

"These are the three contracts I selected. They are contracts that I think are of great value and meet your requirements. Take a look."

"good."

After receiving the contract, Kurosawa started to read it.

"The first contract is with Avex as a record agent. We have no distribution channels and no production lines, so we have to deal with this aspect first. This company is very sincere and the sales share ratio is 55%. On this basis, they will provide We make announcements.”

As he started to read the contract, Igarashi Runa sat opposite and explained.

"What is the typical record agent share in the industry?"

"73, or 64, or 55 is already a very high share ratio."

"Do you think this contract must be signed?"

"That's not the case. The number of Avex shares is very low, only 50,000. The minimum share is the profit of 50,000 pieces. The lower limit is a bit low. How high the upper limit can be depends entirely on your influence."

"What level is fifty thousand?"

"The selling price of Neon's albums is usually around 6,000. Including the share, the minimum value of this contract is 150 million yen. Compared with other contracts, the number of copies committed is relatively low, but this contract The advantage is that the share ratio is high, the higher the album sales, the higher the income.”

"I see."

Hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru was thoughtful and settled an account.

If the upper limit is high, the higher the share ratio, the better.

"Do I need to sign this contract immediately?"

After thinking about it, Kurosawa Hikaru asked.

"You can leave it alone for now. When you record your first album, we can negotiate with various record companies and strive for more benefits." Igarashi Runa shook his head slightly and said.

We still don’t know when the first album will be released, but there is no need to be tied to the same boat.

"Then let's put it on hold for now."

In fact, Kurosawa Hikaru also had this idea, in order to maximize profits.

He's not sure yet what his first album will be like.

There are many piano songs that have been included so far, but generally speaking, the album needs 10 songs, which is not complete yet.

"The second contract is a permanent invitation to the concert hall, and this one is from the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan. They didn't offer a price, but they just split it very high. That is, 90% of your tickets for each performance will belong to us, and 10% will be given to them. , similar to giving us the venue for free. There is also a requirement that you have to hold at least one concert at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan every month.”

"Once a month..."

Hearing this time request, Kurosawa Hikaru was thoughtful.

In fact, one performance a month is already a very loose requirement.

Moreover, the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan is a relatively large concert hall, with 2,300 seats in the grand concert hall.

With so many seats, even if it is calculated based on 10,000 tickets, if it can be filled up, according to the share, he will earn nearly 20 million yen from just one performance.

If ticket prices rise again, the revenue will only be higher.

"After I sign this contract, can I perform elsewhere in the future? For example, in the future, I suddenly want to go on a national tour."

"Yes, but the number of performances in any concert hall during the same period cannot exceed that of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan... If you want to tour the country, just hold a performance at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan at the beginning and end of the month as a starting point , also serves as the end point.”

"If I sign now, will I have to hold a concert this month?"

"The specific time can be negotiated."

"How long is the contract?"

"Three years."

"Then sign it."

After asking and understanding the general matters, Kurosawa Hikaru simply glanced at the contract and nodded.

"Okay."

Hearing his words, Igarashi Runa was a little happy, and immediately ran to the side to get a pen and handed it to him.

"Wouldn't it be better to read the entire contract later and sign it together?"

Kurosawa Hikaru saw her action and paused before asking.

"Sorry, I was a little impatient."

Igarashi Runa reacted, a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

Because the agency has not signed a contract since its establishment, and has not even started to make a formal profit, so she attaches great importance to this contract.

Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, as one of Tokyo's mainstream concert halls, lent them the venue almost free of charge, which is a very stable source of income.

Perhaps as a youtober, the video of "Croatian Rhapsody" also brought a lot of income to the agency, but the monetization ability is very poor.

The main function of videos on audio and video websites is still publicity and exposure, not profit and sales.

In contrast, holding a concert is different, you can directly ask fans to pay for it.

"It's okay."

Kurosawa Hikaru smiled, and then picked up the last contract.

"The third contract is for advertising endorsement, for a music game. Their offer is quite good, 1 billion a year, no special activities are required, just cooperate with them to shoot five advertisements and posters for promotion. The only restriction is that you can't endorse other games within a year."

As he began to look at the contract, Igarashi Runa was also beside him and summarized.

"A music game?"

Hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised.

"It's this one, "Cat Carnival" is one of the hottest music games in China. Endorsing it can be said to be a mutually beneficial cooperation."

Igarashi Runa knew that he was a top student and a live-action person, and probably didn't play games very often, so he immediately stood up, walked to his side and sat down, and took out his phone to show him.

The music game APP of Cat Carnival is an icon of two cats. Click on it, and the game will start loading with two cat calls.

As she sat next to him, the distance between the two people was not very close, at least 30 centimeters apart.

However, perhaps because of the mastery of wilderness survival, his body and sense of smell were strengthened again, and Kurosawa Hikari still smelled a very pleasant fragrance in his nose. It was not the smell of perfume, but the smell of shampoo and shower gel.

The shampoo scent in the hair was very strong, and the shower gel scent on the neck was looming.

"After they came to discuss cooperation, I checked the information and tried it. This game is quite interesting, with good reviews and a great reputation."

Igarashi Runa also explained while starting the game.

"Do you want to play it?"

After entering the game completely, she handed the phone to Kurosawa Hikari.

"Okay."

Kurosawa Hikari would naturally not refuse this request.

Although he had not touched games much in this life, he was a complete Internet addict in his previous life. He had hunted all kinds of games, and music games were no exception.

After taking the phone, although Kurosawa Hikaru was playing this game for the first time, he had a basic understanding of the operation. He clicked a few times and entered the music library.

The difficulty level of this music game is divided into 1 star at the lowest and 12 stars at the highest.

"No need to look at the music library... There are many popular songs in the music library, but usually you have to pay for them, or you can unlock them through challenges and upgrades. In fact, they also want to buy the copyright of "Croatian Rhapsody" from you, but I think it's too early, so I rejected it, otherwise the price of this contract will be even higher."

Following his operation, Igarashi Runa sat on the sofa, kept a distance and looked at the phone screen, and explained.

"I'll try."

Kurosawa Hikaru nodded, and then continued to challenge according to the progress of the game.

The picture of this cat carnival is more Q-version, not the kind of two-dimensional meat-selling type, but all kinds of cats, which is the basis for all ages.

As the game started, Kurosawa Hikaru found that the rhythm and speed of the six-star difficulty songs were ridiculously slow, and the music score was also extremely simple.

He didn't even need to think about it, just a few clicks and he passed it.

"Have you played this game before?"

Seeing him pass it so easily, Igarashi Runa couldn't help but smack her lips.

She had played this level more than a dozen times before and still couldn't pass it, and she almost became autistic.

"This is my first time playing, but I have a basic understanding of piano, and this is only eight keys, it's too easy."

Kurosawa Hikaru was not surprised by this and explained.

"Can I try the most difficult song? Buy one?"

After that, because the six-star songs had no game experience at all, Kurosawa Hikaru decided to try again.

"Sure."

Hearing this request, Igarashi Runa naturally agreed, and then took the phone back from him and started to charge.

Not long after, Kurosawa Hikaru directly bought the most difficult twelve-star song and started playing.

The star level doubled, but the difference in difficulty was more than doubled. Both the speed and the complexity of the score were completely improved.

"Wow..."

As he began to challenge the 12-star song, Igarashi Runa, who was standing by, couldn't help but smack her lips and leaned forward to watch.

Because this song was too difficult, she was dazzled just by watching it. If she didn't get closer, she would only feel like she saw a series of garbled characters flying.

"Not bad, this difficulty is quite high."

After the song was finished, Kurosawa Hikaru had a gaming experience this time.

Although in terms of difficulty, it can't be compared with Flight of the Bumblebee and Liszt's "The Bells", whether in terms of hand speed or difficulty.

But for most people, this difficulty is already very high.

"Your hand speed is really fast."

Hearing this evaluation, Igarashi Runa looked at his hands and couldn't help but sigh.

Compared with Kurosawa Hikaru, she found that she was a hand-clumsy person.

Just now, she just watched the song and felt a cramp in her fingers, but Kurosawa was operating in an orderly and unhurried manner. The difference was too big.

There is no harm without comparison... Although she knew that Kurosawa's hand speed was terrifying when she watched him perform Flight of the Bumblebee before, she had not learned piano after all, so she didn't have a real feeling.

But this time was different. Even if it was the first time for Kurosawa to play the same music game, he could operate it perfectly.

"It's okay. After all, I practice piano."

Kurosawa smiled and raised his head to say this praise.

However, when he finished speaking, he suddenly discovered something.

While he was playing the music game, the distance between the two people had been shortened from 30 cm to about 10 cm without knowing it.

The most important thing was that Miss Runa sat very close to him and looked at her mobile phone next to him. Under her short silver-gray hair, the snow-white ears hidden in her hair were like a snow lotus in the silver-white clothes.

And her side face was very beautiful, with a small and upright nose, half of her red lips, and her beautiful eyes were also very beautiful.

As he paused, Igarashi Runa also came back to his senses and looked at him. When their eyes met, they realized that the distance between the two people was so close.

"What do you think of this endorsement?"

Seeing his handsome face and deep dark eyes, Igarashi Runa was stunned for a few seconds, then reacted, stood up, bent down and picked up the contract on the table.

"Not bad."

As the distance was pulled away again, Kurosawa Hikaru also responded.

Although it was his first time playing, it was still fun after the difficulty was increased to the corresponding level.

"That's good, you can take a look at the details... In fact, there are many contracts that I can't decide on my own, I'll show you."

Handing the contract to him, Igarashi Runa stood up and walked away as if he suddenly remembered something.

It's better to say that he ran away than to say that he walked away, because the situation just now was too embarrassing.

Today is still one update, and tomorrow it will resume to 2 and 3 updates. (Shushu has no Yang, just a cold and fever)

Took antipyretic medicine and went to the hospital for an IV drip. After all the trouble, the fever has completely subsided (currently there is still a little cold, sore throat and so on.)
