Chapter 235 Melancholic White Camellia

At 6:00 in the evening, Tokyo is ablaze with neon lights.

An izakaya outside Tokyo Tower in Tōoka District.

Second only to the Sky Tree, Tokyo Tower is a landmark building in Tokyo, and there is an endless stream of tourists checking in outside the izakaya.

Under the dim lights, men and women were drunk and slumped, exuding an air of decadence and downfall.

Kei Yoshida, vice president of Warner Japan, obviously has nothing to do with decadence and downfall.

The little Japanese wore a suit and leather shoes, and wore elegant, thin-framed gold-rimmed glasses.

Kei Yoshida was very polite to Xu Chen's arrival. He greeted him respectfully from afar, with his arms close to the trouser line, and bowed at 90 degrees: "Hi, hello Xu Chun. I, Kei Yoshida, admire Xu Chun very much." Talent, please take a seat."

There must be something wrong with the Japanese Japanese's respectful gesture. Xu Chen glanced at Zhou Jianbin.

Zhou Jianbin sat cross-legged on the couch, shrugged indifferently, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, your feat in Tokyo has spread throughout the Tokyo music scene. Mr. Yoshida admires Mr. Xu and specially asked me to meet Mr. Xu."

Sigh~

Zhou Jianbin was quite resentful, and his tone was yin and yang.

Zhou Jianbin said something sour, poured a glass of wine, and explained: "Mr. Xu, GLAY and Rainbow Band belong to different companies. Both groups are the hottest rock music groups in the Japanese music scene, and they are constantly in contact and competing with each other..."

"Japanese music scene titled The War between Gray and Rainbow."

"Yoshida-kun..." Zhou Jianbin glanced at Yoshida Kei. The Chinese he spoke was not understood by Yoshida Kei.

"Sodis is tired." Yoshida nodded and bowed, just thinking that Zhou Jianbin said good things about him.

Happy Chinese New Year to the uncle and aunt in Here Come the Devil~

"The Blue Bird created by Mr. Xu has refreshed the Japanese music scene, and Warner Japan intends to mix it up." Zhou Jianbin sipped his wine.

He was worried that Xu Chen would be affected by the concert protests in the Japanese music scene.

did not expect.

This incident actually contributed to Xu Chen's reputation in the Japanese music scene.

Warner Japan has suffered successive defeats in the competition from local music labels. The company's highly regarded singer Akina Nakamori suffered from depression and committed suicide by slitting her wrists before the album was released.

The news is abuzz.

Akina Nakamori fell, and Japan Warner lost an arm. To this day, there is no big cat and two or three kittens.

"Mr. Xu's single name is Chen. Chen belongs to the jade family and is cyan. Warner Japan intends to support Mr. Xu to make his debut in Japan and participate in the war between gray and rainbow." Zhou Jianbin clicked his tongue.

Gray and GLAY rock band, which debuted in 1988, are the most popular male rock band in Japan. In 1997, their album sales exceeded 1.4 million.

Rainbow, Rainbow Band, debuted in 1991, is a Japanese male rock band. In 1997, the album sold 1.6 million copies.

Warner Japan strongly favors Xu Chen and prepares to turn the war between gray and rainbow into a war between blue, gray and rainbow, in order to seek opportunities to break the deadlock of Warner Japan.

Thanks to Yoshida’s respectful gesture.

Zhou Jianbin, who was afraid that Warner Japan would refuse to release Xu Chen's album, suddenly changed his humble posture. He pretended to sit cross-legged with all his pretentiousness.

Xu Chen wanted to give Lao Zhou some urine. Wake up and stop dreaming.

In fact.

Xu Chen is no stranger to the GLAY band. In 1999, this band set a new record for the number of people attending a Japanese music concert, with a total of 200,000 people participating in the concert.

In the Japanese music scene, the market is divided into singles and albums.

Rainbow Band released two new albums in 1999, with album sales of 2.26 million and 2.13 million copies respectively!

As the hottest song in the Japanese music scene and representing the pinnacle of rock music in the Japanese music scene, War of Gray and Rainbow.

The war spread to the Japanese music scene in 1998, 1999, and 2000, and even had a considerable impact on Asian pop music.

Now.

Xu Chen wants to lead Cyan, who represents himself, to participate in the [color] war in the Japanese music scene and seize the fruits of victory.

"Lao Zhou, you are fully responsible for the album's Japanese, Korean, Southeast Asian, European and American markets. You and Yoshida-kun can talk about it." Xu Chen sipped his sake.

Zhou Jianbin is here.

It would be hard for him to leave Zhou Jianbin behind and cooperate with Warner Japan. This thing is unethical.

at the same time.

The Asian Superstars concert is over, and Xu Chen's journey in the Japanese music scene has come to an end. The competition for hegemony in the music scene in June is about to begin, and Xu Chen has no extra energy to waste on the Japanese and Korean music circles.

In fact.

The Chinese music scene has always kept a respectful distance from the Japanese, Korean, and European and American music circles. Japanese, Korean, and European and American songs are also not accepted by the Chinese-speaking public, and the market is small.

The simplest example.

Li Wen became famous in the Chinese music scene, but failed to secure his position in the music scene. He changed his focus and entered the European and American music circles, preparing to become a pop diva in the European and American music circles, while reducing his dimension to attack the Asian music scene.

The results are clear.

European and American singers such as Blainey, Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne, Maria...

After a few big guys took over, Li Wen had a bruised nose and face, and fled back to the Chinese music scene in despair. As a result, the four big and three small companies in the Chinese music world fought for power, and there was no room for her to survive.

The Chinese music scene is what gave Xu Chen the confidence to ascend to the throne of "World King of Pop".

Zhou Jianbin and Kei Yoshida discussed the release of Xu Chen’s new album [Master Wang] in the Japanese music scene.

Xu Chen was bored.

He has a 30% share of the entire album, and the remaining 70% is left to Zhou Jianbin and Yoshida Kei.

With Zhou Jianbin's ferocity.

Xu Chen looked pitifully at Kei Yoshida, who kept nodding and bowing. The poor little Japanese would probably have to pay Zhou Jianbin a lot of money.

…………

Izakaya, Japanese style.

Japan is a country with a high alcohol addiction rate, regardless of gender.

This izakaya outside Tokyo Tower is considered the most upscale izakaya in Japan, and the guests are either rich or noble.

According to Yoshida Kei, this izakaya is a customary place for resource exchange in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Many practitioners in the Japanese entertainment industry come here to discuss cooperation or resource exchange.

Therefore.

The izakaya is quiet, the lights are dim, the big red lanterns are very far apart, and the Japanese white curtains reflect the human figures like evil spirits.

Xu Chen sat for a while, feeling terrified.

He said something to Zhou Jianbin and Yoshida Kei, and simply strolled to the bar.

The lights on the bar were also dim. Xu Chen sat on a stool, whistled at the bartender who served the drinks, and ordered a glass of plum wine.

"Please give me another cocktail."

Sitting opposite Xu Chen, a petite, disheveled drunk woman muttered a few words to the bar, squinting her eyes and staring at Xu Chen. The drunk woman muttered drunkenly: "A grown man, you can't drink women's plum wine, please give him a cocktail too..."

As she said, she smiled, supported her forehead with one hand, and her messy hair covered her cheeks. She muttered drunkenly: "Please clink glasses with me!!"

Xu Chen is watching an old man on the subway.

Since the end of the gender war in Japan, poor female drunkards have become a senior tradition in Japan. In addition, widows, evil women, and problem girls are all popular professions in classic Japanese movies.

Xu Chen was too lazy to pay attention. He held the plum wine by himself and thought about his new album.

"Please clink glasses with me!"

The warm breath in the ear and the pungent cocktail smell, fumigated by the body temperature of the mouth, made the ear itchy.

Xu Chen's brows were slightly twisted, and his eyes were indifferent.

Under the dim light, the drunkard's messy black hair reveals a fair and pretty face, a weak and cold temperament, and a sickly beauty.

"Please clink glasses with me." The drunkard supported her forehead with one hand, glanced at Xu Chen, and was stunned for a moment, with a smile on her lips: "You look handsome, but you don't dare to drink? Mom doesn't allow it?"

Xu Chen was looking at his cell phone on the subway. He felt disillusioned and held the green plum wine.

"You can't do this." The drunkard turned sideways and drunkenly snatched the bottle from Xu Chen.

A pair of foxy eyes stared at Xu Chen, and muttered seriously: "Big man, you can't drink plum wine from women, drink this."

The bottle stained with lipstick was handed to Xu Chen.

"Akina Nakamori, how did you become like this?" Xu Chen sipped the cocktail, frowned and stared at the drunk in front of him.

A decadent and destitute woman.

There was no way to compare the drunk woman in front of him with the impression of the first beauty of the Showa era, the melancholy white camellia Nakamori Akina, who was known as the national beauty of Japan along with the passionate red rose Kudo Shizuka.

"Is it not good for me to look like this?" Nakamori Akina was drunk, her eyes were blurred.

She mumbled a few words, staggered, stood in front of Xu Chen, bowed 90 degrees very neatly, and muttered drunkenly: "Sorry, I disappoint you."
