Chapter 430 430. Respond to doubts with strength

Alan was a little confused, wondering why these people had such strange expressions.

Just when she couldn't figure it out, Aoki Jiro spoke.

"Mr. Nie Wei, I respect your musical accomplishment, especially your creation "Memories of the Forbidden City", which is still one of my favorite works. But for R\u0026B pop music, it has its own unique style. I agree with your achievements in Chinese pop music, but this does not mean that you can easily control Japanese pop songs. Sorry."

Aoki Jiro's words revealed a strong distrust of Nie Wei, which made Nie Wei feel a little unhappy. After all, you haven't even listened to my songs yet, but you made such a judgment. This made Nie Wei feel that although this person looked polite, he had a sense of self-righteousness and superiority in his bones.

Alan on the side was also very angry. How could this person talk like this?

In Alan's opinion, Nie Wei is omnipotent. Before he was a member of Huayi, Nie Wei was already one of his idols. After being discovered by Nie Wei, he personally followed Nie Wei to experience many impossible things, and many of them even happened to him. Just like today, who would have thought that she, who was just a student of the music college not long ago, has become a first-line female singer in China in less than two years, and even wants to enter R\u0026B.

So this one of Aoki Jiro made Alan feel uncomfortable. Obviously, the songs created by Nie Wei are very nice, but this person said so without even listening to them. What a bad guy.

Nie Wei glanced at Aoki Jiro and did not answer, but looked at Noda Kumaichi on the side.

"Mr. Nie Wei, can I listen to the song first? I guarantee with my professional ethics that even if the future cooperation is unsuccessful, I will not leak a single note of your music. If you are worried, we can also draft a confidentiality contract to guarantee it." Noda Kumaichi said seriously.

Nie Wei liked this attitude very much, it was reasonable.

"Of course, Mr. Noda, if you have time, you can come to Huayi Company for a visit tomorrow. Mr. Aoki, if you are interested, you can also come." Nie Wei readily agreed to Noda Xiongyi's request, and did not forget to bring Aoki along. After all, Aoki is Aoki, but Sony is Sony. Negotiations should be clearly distinguished between public and private matters.

In addition, Nie Wei also wanted to slap Aoki in the face with his own works, so that he would understand that whether he could master Japanese pop music was not something he could decide with just his words.

"That couldn't be better." Noda Xiongyi replied with joy, and Aoki Jiro on the side also nodded, but Nie Wei caught the disdain hidden in his eyes.

Then neither party talked about the contract again. More often, the two RB people asked Alan some professional music knowledge questions, which did not bother Alan. Even after entering the company, she did not fall behind in her courses, and even progressed faster than the students in school. She had supplemented a lot of music knowledge in the past year or so. Facing the questions of the two, the answers were all easy to come up with.

This also made Jiro Aoki and Kumaichi Noda more satisfied with Alan. Kumaichi Noda even praised Alan at the banquet, saying that she had the shadow of the R\u0026B queen Ayumi Hamasaki.

"Ms. Alan's temperament, image and musical quality are very good. As long as her Japanese studies go smoothly, we are very confident that we can make Miss Alan famous and become the next female queen like Ayumi Hamasaki." When Kumaichi Noda talked about Ayumi Hamasaki, his tone was full of pride.

As the R\u0026B super-popular queen pushed by Avex, Ayumi Hamasaki's name can be said to be resounding throughout Asia. Although the queen's record sales and popularity have declined since 2003, she is still the top female singer in R\u0026B so far, and the undisputed number one singer in Avex.

Kumaichi Noda took Ayumi Hamasaki as an example, on the one hand to show off the strength of his own company, and on the other hand to give Alan a vision. After all, in his opinion, every female singer who enters R\u0026B doesn't want to be like Ayumi Hamasaki.

"Miss Alan, if you go to RB, I will introduce Miss Hamasaki to you. I believe you will have a lot of topics to discuss." After saying this, Noda Kumaichi was already looking forward to Alan's excitement and admiration. Even Aoki Jiro's face changed, and he obviously saw Noda Kumaichi's intention.

But to the surprise of the two, Alan's expression was very calm. Except for a hint of surprise, there was no change at all.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it too." Alan replied politely, but she didn't show much excitement, which surprised Nobi Nobita. It shouldn't be. The girl's reaction was too bland and beyond his expectations.

At this time, Aoki Jiro also forgot to despise Kumaichi Ida's "inferior" means, and was extremely surprised at Alan's lack of change in emotions. He even wanted to open his mouth to give an example, but he stopped talking at this moment.

Only Nie Wei, who was watching the whole process, saw it most clearly, and he was also laughing at the reactions of the two RB people.

If you say that Alan has a very good psychological quality and can remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe, that is impossible. She is just a little girl and will be excited when she sees her idol, but you should at least know that she is an idol. Based on Nie Wei's understanding of Alan, this girl is so calm probably because she doesn't understand Ayumi Hamasaki's status in Japan. Even if she does, she probably won't be excited because she is too unfamiliar with the Japanese music industry, so unfamiliar that she has no real sense of it.

So the trick used by Noda Kumaichi as a sure kill was obviously in vain, and Aoki Jiro, who was obviously trying to grab the head, obviously failed and could only return empty-handed.

After finishing the meal, Nie Wei said goodbye to the two RB people and prepared to send Alan home first.

On the way, Nie Wei couldn't help but ask curiously: "The representatives of the two companies seem to be optimistic about you. Which one do you like?"

"Avex." Alan answered immediately.

"Why?" Nie Wei was a little surprised. After all, Sony is more famous. Although Avex is also famous, there is a big gap compared to Sony. Nie Wei thought that little girls would choose the more famous ones, just like choosing bags.

"I hate Aoki from Sony. He speaks so badly." Alan answered without hesitation. When he said this, he couldn't help but look a little angry on his face.

Nie Wei was stunned, and suddenly remembered that it was no wonder that Alan was obviously more enthusiastic about Noda Kumaichi today, and always ignored Aoki intentionally or unintentionally. Nie Wei originally thought that it was because of the first impression. Noda Kumaichi's image was indeed better than Aoki, but now it seems that the little girl is venting her anger.

"Thank you." Nie Wei touched Alan's little head and thanked her: "But remember not to do this next time. It's meaningless. In the end, you still have to show your works and use your achievements to fight back the most powerfully."

"Yeah!" Alan nodded seriously. Just when Nie Wei was about to smile with relief, Alan spoke again: "I understand the reason, but I can't help it. I get angry when I see him."

"Hahaha." This time Nie Wei couldn't help laughing, and he didn't talk to Alan about any big principles. After all, he had to pay it back by himself.

The next morning, two representatives of RB Records arrived at Huayi Records on time.

"Huayi Records was established less than two years ago, with 130 employees and only nine singers. However, from last year to now, the sales of our albums have ranked among the top five among all Chinese record companies, and our sales channels are well developed. Except for remote provinces such as western Tibet and Qinghu, we have sales channels in all other provinces, municipalities and special zones..."

"You are really amazing to have developed to such a scale in less than two years, Mr. Nie Wei." Noda Xiongyi said admiringly.

"Ha, I am not responsible for the operation of the company. Wu Ming is here. If you want to praise, you should praise Wu Ming." Nie Wei patted Wu Ming's shoulder and said with a smile. Of course, he did not take Noda Xiongyi's words seriously. Although Huayi is developing rapidly and has become a first-class record company in China, it is still not worth mentioning compared with record giants such as Avex. Noda Xiongyi's words are more of a politeness.

However, this attitude made Nie Wei feel comfortable. Unlike Qingmu who was standing by, he kept silent. When Nie Wei introduced the company, he showed contempt in his eyes. This time, he didn't even hide it. It was obvious that he thought the achievements Nie Wei introduced were not worth mentioning in front of Sony, which he relied on.

But he didn't understand that there is an old saying in China called "Don't bully the poor young people". Huayi Records, which has been less than two years old, can develop to the current level. If it is given another ten years, it may not be impossible to impact Sony's record market. At least Nie Wei is very confident that he can do this.

Because Huayi Records is too young, there are not many places worth visiting, and the two representatives obviously don't have much intention to visit. The group quickly came to the recording studio.

There have been staff waiting here for a long time. Alan also came to the scene, but the girl's mind is a bit complicated. She wants to see what kind of expression Aoki Jiro will have after hearing Nie Wei's songs.

"This is a top-notch recording studio." As soon as they entered the room, Jiro Aoki and Kumaichi Noda's eyes lit up. They thought that a new company would not have very good hardware configuration, but now it seems that they still underestimated this company. At least in terms of the configuration of the recording studio, they really invested a lot.

"This recording studio has reached the normal standard of our Sony Records." Aoki looked around and couldn't help saying, but after saying this, even Kumaichi Noda couldn't help rolling his eyes behind him. It's too pretentious, and it's still a normal standard. There is only one equipment in this recording studio in the entire Avex company, and that is owned by their company's music director. Although Sony is richer, Kumaichi Noda absolutely does not believe that Sony will make such an expensive recording studio the company's standard configuration. You must know that Sony is a big company. If it is really configured according to the current configuration, it will definitely be a very expensive expense, and it is very unnecessary.

"Is this your exclusive recording studio, Mr. Nie Wei?" Kumaichi Noda suddenly asked.

Nie Wei looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that this man was quite smart and figured it out immediately. However, he had nothing to hide, so he nodded and admitted it.

"Such a recording studio is indeed worthy of your status." Noda Xiongyi praised. In his opinion, Nie Wei was the only one in the entire Huayi who could use such a recording studio. Other musicians were not qualified to have such a recording studio, just like third-rate singers did not need to pursue top-level custom microphones worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, which were prepared for top singers.

"Time is precious, Mr. Nie Wei, let's listen to the songs first." Aoki Jiro on the side interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Of course." Nie Wei nodded to the staff on the side and ordered: "Get ready."

After that, Nie Wei also began to introduce his own song: "The name of this song I created is "Prisoner-Of-Love", which is translated into Chinese as the four words "prisoner of love". It describes the inner monologue of a person who is bound by emotions. There is only a demo of the song now, so you can listen to it first."

Nie Wei quickly made a summary and handed two headsets to Aoki Jiro and Noda Kumaichi.

"It's time to start." Seeing the two people put on the headsets, Nie Wei signaled the staff on the side to start playing the song, while Nie Wei observed the changes in the expressions of the two representatives.

At first, the two people who put on the headsets, Noda Kumaichi's expression was full of seriousness, while Aoki Jiro seemed very casual. However, when the staff pressed the play button, the moment the song sounded, the expressions of the two people also changed at the same time.

Noda Kumaichi's serious attitude on his face became more serious, and his eyes were full of surprise, as if he had discovered some treasure. The other Aoki Jiro was stunned, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his pupils were even trembling, as if he had encountered something incredible.

As the song progressed, the expressions of the two changed more and more. Noda Kuma couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth at the end, while the other Aoki Jiro's face turned pale, and a layer of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead in just over two minutes. His eyes were always secretly looking at Nie Wei on the side.

Because at this moment he was really guilty, it was hard to believe that Nie Wei really made such a song full of RB pop style.

The most important thing is not only the style, but also the beautiful melody. It has the potential to be a big hit, and even made Aoki Jiro feel that it was a pity to let Alan sing it.

"The style of this song always makes me feel familiar?" Although Aoki Jiro is arrogant, he is also a real negotiator for Sony. Listening to the melody of Nie Wei's song, he suddenly thought of a female singer under Sony Records.

The style of this song really made him feel that it was very consistent with the style of the female singer under his own company. If he could get such a good song and give it to his own female singer to sing, it would definitely create greater benefits, right?

Thinking of this, Jiro Aoki couldn't help but have another idea in his mind.

Thanks to Haohan De Yang and 0773 for their generous rewards.
