Chapter 585 So Envious!
"One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four, three, two, three, four, turn around, pay attention to your head, and pay attention to leaning back next time...Okay, turn around, do it again, pay attention..."
The coach taught meticulously, and Mie Fujiwara also practiced very seriously.
In September last year, her first solo album "Tokyo Girls" was officially released, and the sales were quite good. The Japanese version of this album sold over one million copies in Japan, and was once on the best-selling list.
But this achievement can only be regarded as mediocre in the Japanese record market. On the contrary, Dongshan is not bright and Xishan is bright, relying on the idol style created by "Tokyo Love Story", plus the previous hype with Li Qian According to the news, she has already gained quite a high reputation among young people in China. In addition, this album is a collection of the efforts of songwriters from both China and Japan, so the Chinese version was well received as soon as it was released. Total shipments to date have exceeded three million copies.
As far as the idol school in the Chinese music scene is concerned, this achievement can be regarded as one of the outstanding ones.
Even, if it wasn't for the release of Rose Power's new album "Girls' Dormitory" in October, which to a certain extent suppressed the lack of sales of this album, the sales of her album might have been even higher!
In the spring of this year, under the matchmaking of Sony Records, she starred in the heroine of a domestic TV series. She said that the popularity continued to grow, but she maintained her fan base to a certain extent. In the past year, she is still very popular. Advertisers are favored, and many commercial activities and commercial performances have been received.
In addition, foreign monks can chant scriptures, she has the label of "Japanese girl", and her appearance fee is higher than that of singers of the same level, and she is very hardworking, as long as she can go out to accept commercial performances, she is not willing Let yourself be idle. Up to now, although I am a little tired, I have earned a lot of money, and I have become more and more fluent in Chinese. If I don’t pay attention to it, it will even make strangers unable to recognize that she is a Japanese girl.
And now, her second solo album is being recorded, and the choreography related to it has also been completed. She has to be busy recording while taking care of dancing, and next, she has to shoot the MV!
After a full forty minutes of practice, when her choreographer called for a break, even Mie Fujiwara felt that she danced more smoothly. The place where she often made mistakes before has improved a lot now. As expected, Even the teacher praised: "Meihui, your dancing talent is really good!"
As long as the words are not too difficult, Mie Fujiwara can communicate in normal life and work in Chinese, but many living habits from Japan are still largely preserved. At this time, when she heard the teacher's praise, she smiled sweetly, bowed to the teacher, got up, took the towel handed by the assistant to wipe off her sweat, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your teaching!"
Working with such a girl with a sweet smile and a humble attitude, even though her choreographer teacher is also a girl, she still feels happy, at this moment she nodded, "Okay, that's all for today's practice Alright, Meihui, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow, teacher!" Mei Hui bowed again.
When the choreographer packed up her things and left the rehearsal room, Fujiwara Mie immediately turned her head and asked her assistant in a low voice, "Did you buy it?"
Assistant He nodded, "I'll get it!"
While talking, he turned and went out, and after a while, he brought a CD that hadn't even been unpacked, and at the same time brought Mie Fujiwara's portable CD player for listening to music.
Mie Fujiwara said thank you and took it over, sat down on the sofa, opened the package with a happy face, but subconsciously stared at the cover for a while, and smiled softly: "It is said that this cover was shot by Li Qianjun himself. Yes! He is a professional student of photography, and he loves Miss Zhou Mo so much, he takes her so beautifully!"
Assistant He laughed when he heard this, "Mom Zhou is very beautiful."
Mie Fujiwara laughed and said, "Yes! It's just that Li Qian-jun can make the photos more beautiful!"
Assistant He smiled and didn't answer.
Opening the CD box, Mie Fujiwara took out the lyrics book first, and opened it to take a look - her Chinese character learning progress is far behind that of spoken English, but she still knows a lot of Chinese characters - as expected, it is marked next to the lyrics on each page Yes, Li Qian wrote the lyrics, composed the music, and supervised the production.
"Miss Zhou Mo's voice, Li Qianjun's lyrics and composition, ah, I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"
While speaking, she took out the CD, put it in the CD player, and put on the earphones.
Just at this time, someone knocked on the door and opened it to come in.
Mie Fujiwara looked up and saw that it was the secretary of Chairman Kazuichi Watanabe, who was about to stand up, but the secretary smiled and said, "Has Ms. Fujiwara started listening? Then I won't bother you." After finishing speaking, she closed the door and went out.
Assistant He chased him out, came back after a while, and said to Fujiwara Meihui: "The company also got this album immediately, and many people went to the listening room, and everyone wants to listen to it together. Miss Meihui, do you want to come over too? Listen to it with everyone, the sound over there is very good!"
Mie Fujiwara shook her head and said with a smile: "Miss Zhou Mo's song must be listened to alone with earphones on. It would be even better if there is a cup of coffee! Listening to many people together will make you feel uneasy!"
Assistant He laughed and asked, "Shall I get you a cup of coffee?"
Mie Fujiwara's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she had a cute expression on her face, "Ah... is it really okay? The teacher said I can't drink coffee, the calories are too high!"
Assistant He smiled and raised a finger, "It's just a small cup!"
Mie Fujiwara couldn't resist the temptation, her heart moved, she blinked her eyes, and laughed, "If the teacher asked me why I gained weight, I would say that I fainted, and Assistant He poured me a cup of coffee to wake me up! "
Assistant He shook his head with a smile and asked, "Cream, cappuccino?"
Mie Fujiwara licked her lips, looking greedy and cute, "Cream is too extravagant, let's make a cappuccino! It's already a crime!"
Assistant He smiled, "Wait a moment!" Then he closed the door and went out.
Mie Fujiwara thought about the upcoming cappuccino, then glanced at the CD player in her hand, and suddenly felt that everything was too beautiful.
only……
The relationship between myself and Li Qianjun is completely frozen!
Since she suddenly became popular in China with the popularity of "Tokyo Love Story", she has stayed in China for most of the past year, and it turns out that her acting career in China is far better than in Japan. Even more successful——in Japan, she was just one of thousands of beautiful girls, but when she came to China, she was full of exotic charm!
The Chinese version of the album sells several times more than the Japanese version. The pay for a single episode of a TV series is as high as 60,000 Chinese yuan. After a 30-episode TV series is filmed, after deducting the commissions of the company and the agent, you can still get 70 yuan. It is about ten thousand Huayuan, and if you go out to participate in a commercial performance, you can get 200,000 Huayuan, and you can get 300,000 to 800,000 Huayuan for an advertisement. After this year, her savings have already Up to nearly 5 million Chinese yuan, equivalent to about 2.5 million U.S. dollars, and as high as 30 million yen equivalent!
This money may not be earned in three years just because she is an artist in Japan!
To put it simply, because the idol trend in China is in the ascendant, she is one of the early batch of idols, and she has the bonus of foreigners, so in China, it is too easy for her to earn money! Much easier than in Japan!
It can be said that even she herself wants to continue to stay in China for development and does not want to go back to Japan. Even after learning about her income and how prosperous she is in China, there are now a lot of entertainment in Japan. The company wanted to send acting talents to China to make money, and many girls she met in Japan also asked her if they could help recommend them to develop in China!
However, she can feel that it is no problem for her to make a few more years of steady money at this point. While her personal popularity is still there, she can release a few albums, take on a few TV series or even movies, or There is still a chance to hold a few concerts, which can make a lot of money, but if you want to go up, it is basically as difficult as skyrocketing!
China's record market is facing a cold winter, but the great development in recent years has made the market capacity expand enough. A few years ago, whoever could sell three to four million albums would be an instant hit. Zi, the distance from the top level like Liao Liao is not small, but the first line can already step on the line and step in half a foot, but now, if you want to be recognized as having stepped into the first line with one foot, you need five million cards!
She has sold three million copies, but she dares to say that she has initially gained a firm foothold. She is no problem in the second line. Some young fans love it crazily, so the appearance fees and endorsement fees are slightly higher than normal singers with this celebrity status, which is just a good way to make money!
But even so, with the appearance fee starting at one million, it takes 1.5 million to invite the first-day Asian group Rose Power, and Liao Liao, who has an appearance fee of 2 million, is still priceless. Compared with He Runqing, whose appearance fee has been stabilized at around 1.2 million, she is still far behind!
It is said that Liao Liao took over the shampoo ad, and the endorsement fee was as high as 8 million a year! The endorsements of women's clothing brands and food are as high as tens of millions! As for He Runqing's women's clothing brand endorsement, the endorsement fee is also 6 million a year!
Zhou Mo doesn't have any TV commercials, but that's because she doesn't want to accept endorsements, and there is no market for the price. It is said that her image is more trendy and high-end, so she accepts advertisements for fashion products: watches, cosmetics, etc. It's a big brand! According to gossip among managers, despite the fact that she hasn't released an album for two years, and has barely made public appearances, her annual endorsement income is still over 20 million!
So... That is to say, although compared to those girls of the same age in Japan, she is already doing well, but no matter in China or Japan, she is still far behind the tallest actresses!
And if she wanted to go further, she had already hit her own ceiling.
If she was an ordinary girl, she would probably be very satisfied if she could reach this point. If she earns a few years of money steadily, she can find a boy and marry her off, but Mie Fujiwara is always a little bit unwilling!
Because she knows that if she wants to climb one step further, it is not that there is no way at all!
There are all kinds of sayings in the industry, and there are one case after another in the industry, telling her that as long as Li Qian loves her and is willing to praise her, she can continue to move forward!
Unfortunately, she knew clearly in her heart that Sony didn't replay people, and she already had a lot of enmity with Li Qian, and even with the whole department of Minghu Culture.
Not long ago, when she received an invitation to a commercial performance, she discovered that the singer from Minghu culture named Zhuang Meiyue was also among the performers. Backstage, she even tried to strike up a conversation, but when the other party found out it was her, she didn't save any face , turned her head and walked away, making her uncomfortable for several days after she came back!
Looking back now, when I used Li Qian to hype up scandals, and even smeared Li Qian to increase my popularity, I took advantage and suffered a loss, but in the final analysis, I still took advantage, because only relying on With the popularity of a TV series imported from Japan, it is impossible for me, a newcomer in the music industry, to sell three million albums.
At that time, although she couldn't talk about how proud she was, she was secretly happy after all. It's just that as she got to the current step, looking forward and looking up, she found that she had no way to continue to climb up. At this time, she looked back at the plan for this step that the company made for herself at the beginning. That's why I couldn't help feeling a faint feeling of regret.
If you make friends sincerely, you may not be able to borrow Li Qian's scandal, and the records have not been sold so much for the time being, but in the long run, you can leave yourself more and greater room for development in the future ah!
But now, being treated coldly by the entire Minghu Culture Department, it seems that he has entered a dead end!
…………
Assistant He opened the door and came in, holding a cup of cappuccino in his hand, moving lightly for fear of disturbing Mie Fujiwara listening to the song, but when she closed the door and turned around, she met Mie Fujiwara's eyes.
She was a little surprised, "Why haven't you heard it yet? Don't you like hearing Zhou Mo's voice the most? You've been looking forward to it for a long time! Come... cappuccino!"
Mie Fujiwara shrugged and took it, with a little happiness on her face, "Thank you!"
But after taking the coffee, she didn't rush to drink it. Instead, she thought for a while and turned to her assistant, "Say, when the new album comes out, can it still sell three million copies?"
Assistant He was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then smiled: "Of course! You have been very popular recently! This album also consumes a lot of resources, like the song that Mr. Watanabe wrote specially for you by Zheng Guofeng. , It is said that he paid a considerable price! Zheng Guofeng is now popular. His songs are not available to ordinary people. The chorus, this can borrow popularity and increase album sales! Don't worry, three million copies, no problem!"
Mie Fujiwara smiled sweetly when she heard the words, and said: "Yes, I don't even know how to thank them!" After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but think in her heart: "Three million copies... I hope this one can be sold!" Let's continue to sell to this amount! But...it seems that I don't have enough confidence!"
After a pause, she couldn't help asking again: "How much do you think Miss Zhou Mo's album will sell for?"
Assistant He frowned and thought about it, then shook his head, "I really don't dare to guess! Li Qian and Mo Zhou have been together for several years. Before that, Li Qian only wrote to her because she had already signed with our company. The song "Meet Nine Eight" became so popular, and now this album is Li Qian and Zhou Mo's first collaboration, as early as two years ago, many people have been looking forward to this album!"
"Li Qian's song, Zhou Mo's voice, everyone thinks they are a perfect match! Therefore, the sales estimate cannot be low. I guess, five or six million copies should be the lowest estimate, right? Even, I heard from the distribution department that The people around them discussed that as long as this album can combine Zhou Mo's voice characteristics, and even if Li Qian's songwriting skills can be brought into play by 60 to 70%, eight million copies will not be a problem, and it will sell well. Zhang can also take it easy!"
After a pause, he said again: "Didn't Mr. Watanabe also say that during the company meeting? All the works of the company should avoid this album! Otherwise, Zhao Xinfu wouldn't bite the bullet and transfer to April Going to release an album, that would be a head-to-head match with He Runqing! In the end...the match hasn't won, at best it's a draw!"
Fujiwara Mie could not help but narrow her eyes as she listened.
Five million is the lowest estimate, eight million is not a problem, ten million is easy...so envious!
"Miss Zhou Mo's voice is so unique and beautiful. It is really a blessing to meet a man who loves him and a man she loves who is so talented. It is really a blessing to be able to create an album for her!" She said with emotion .
Assistant He smiled, and said: "Of course! Everyone said before that Zhou Mo was the last of the four queens, until the release of "Meet Nine Eight" and the sales of "Witch's Tears". Well, she is one of the four queens recognized by everyone. But let me say that Liao Liao has already surpassed the level of domestic queens. , it is estimated that Zhou Mo will be a big hit! Another album, maybe Li Qian will also promote her to the world!"
Mie Fujiwara's eyes suddenly widened when she heard the words, "Ah... is it possible? Zhou Mo will also be promoted to the world? Like Liao Liao, to become a global queen?"
Assistant He shrugged, "What's wrong? Their men are all Li Qian!"
Fujiwara Mie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, her expression suddenly became a little depressed.
Lowering her head, she nodded slowly.
Until then, she lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, then showed a sweet smile.
When she turned her head to look at Assistant He, her expression had regained her composure, and she said with a smile, "I want to listen to the song! Zhou Mo's new song, ah... can't wait!"
After finishing speaking, she finally pressed the play button.

Five thousand words, I'm not sure if there will be a second chapter!
