Yang Ye's ultimate goal in the music market is to eat up those former music giants and become one of the four major record companies in the world after the decline of the recording industry.
After the advent of the Internet era, people generally believed that the record industry was dead.
Among the music giants at that time, only Sony, Universal and Warner could survive.
Because their parent company is strong and can continue to supply them with blood.
These three are also one of the largest film companies in the world.
Music can provide services for movies, which makes it necessary for the three major record companies to exist.
This is why several other music giants have died. Only these three have survived into the streaming media era and become the last three giants in the music industry.
In the late 1990s, PolyGram’s top executives were preparing to take their money and leave, and EMI and BMG were also planning to sell off their record divisions. This was Yang Ye’s best time.
Only Yang Ye knows that although the Internet era has killed the record industry, the subsequent development of the streaming media market will bring the music market back to life.
Obtaining the copyrights of these music companies is equivalent to having endless wealth.
From Yang Ye's point of view, PolyGram is now racing around the world to acquire land, and its business is spread all over the world, but it is just helping him make wedding clothes.
Why is Yang Ye so sure that he can successfully acquire PolyGram? Because he can afford the money, he dares to raise the price or even be taken advantage of.
Who has trouble with money? Not to mention that the people in PolyGram just want to earn the last vote.
......
Yang Ye shook hands with Matsuura Katsuto politely, and then the group entered the conference room.
It's said to be a conference room, but it's actually just a utility room. Since there are only a few people in the company, meetings and other matters are all done in this room.
There were five people in Yang Ye’s group, plus the people who loved Bex, sitting together, it seemed a bit crowded.
The girl at the front desk of the company brought coffee to everyone. Yang Ye stared at the girl and felt a little want to laugh for some reason.
It is truly destiny that Aibex will be number one in Japan in terms of performance in the future.
The future rock queen Nanase Aikawa actually works here, can you believe it?
Well, I have to take this away as well. Future Japanese superstars must be gilded in Hong Kong.
Yang Ye ignored Matsuura Katsuto and asked with great interest: "Little girl, what is your name?"
Aikawa Nanase was stunned for a moment and said: "Ah, me?"
Yang Ye nodded.
Aikawa Nanase was the stage name she took when she debuted. She bowed to Yang Ye and said, "My name is Aikawa Minase, please give me your advice."
"How old are you?"
"14 years old!"
"14 years old, Minase-san, you should still be in school, why do you work here?"
Aikawa Nanase said with some embarrassment: "I am from Osaka. I am in the third grade of junior high school this year. I came to Tokyo to play during the summer vacation. I ran out of money, so I came here to work and make money."
Yang Yediandian He raised his head and said: "Minase-san, you are very brave. But since you are working part-time, you can work anywhere, why did you choose to work at Ai Bex?"
"Because... I like singing. This is a music company. They were recruiting summer jobs, so I came."
It was precisely because of this experience that Aikawa Nanase later participated in the audition of Aibex Music, met the Japanese rock tycoon Tetsuro Oda, became his disciple, successfully debuted, and became a generation of rock queen.
“Do you know me?”
“I do. Your movies are very good. My classmates and I all like to watch them.”
“Then, don’t you Can you sing a song for me? ”
"Yes!"
14-year-old Aikawa Nanase is a troubled girl, a "bosozoku" in Japan, who smokes, drinks, and drives cars, doing anything.
Well... According to Avril, she is a good girl!
Aikawa Nanase didn't have any stage fright, she sang a cappella song "Arashi no makeup" by Shizuka Kudo.
When she finished singing, everyone in the conference room was very surprised and looked at Yang Ye together.
Yang Ye smiled slightly and said: "Did you hear it? She has a metallic voice, suitable for singing rock."
Matsuura Katsuto couldn't help but asked: "Yang Sang, why do you just take a look? Do you know that she is suitable for singing?”
Yang Ye explained: “The way she looks at people is very interesting. She stands with her eyebrows down and her face lowered, but she is not staring. She looked down on the ground.
When she looked at people, she looked up from the bottom, without raising her face. She just looked at the person with her eyes, looking down on them, very unruly.
A personality like this is very suitable for rock music. You heard her voice just now. In time, she may be the second Mari Hamada. ”
Aikawa Nanase didn't realize this problem herself. She was just like this out of habit. When Yang Ye said it, she immediately blushed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
But when Yang Ye said that she would become the second Mari Hamada, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Katsuto Matsuura is really convinced, is this okay?
However, the story of Yang Ye’s discovery of Nakamori Akina is widely circulated in Japan.
It is said that Yang Ye got off the plane late at night and was hungry. He was eating noodles in a ramen restaurant and heard someone singing in the back kitchen.
The singing aroused his curiosity, and he followed the sound and saw Akina Nakamori washing dishes.
He saw that Akina Nakamori was very talented, so he brought her back to Hong Kong. After careful cultivation, Akina Nakamori became a generation of Japanese singer.
Later, Yang Ye trained two super idols, Shizuka Kudo and Yuki Amami.
Because of this experience, Yang Ye said that Aikawa Minase would become the queen of rock and roll, and no one had much doubt.
Japan is a country that makes no secret of its love for beautiful girls, and female stars debut very early.
Yamaguchi Momoe debuted at the age of thirteen, and Aikawa Nanase is 14 years old and can definitely debut.
Aikawa Nanase attended high school for two more years in the original time and space before deciding to drop out and go to Tokyo to pursue his dream.
She became a disciple of Oda Tetsuro and trained for two more years before making her debut at the age of 19.
It is too late for the Japanese actress.
Katsuto Matsuura immediately asked: "Minase-san, do you want to debut as a singer?"
Aikawa Nanase immediately said: "I think so!"
Matsuura Katsuto said: "Then I will go to your house tomorrow to discuss this matter with your parents."
"Okay. Ah!”
The matter was settled and everyone continued the meeting.
The business direction of Jade Bird Records is mainly to export Hong Kong music to Japan. It has not done much to develop the Japanese domestic market.
Yang Ye doesn't have much energy to take care of these things. Now that he owns a local music company, this matter will naturally be put on the agenda.
Before that, because of Avex’s relationship with Hong Kong, a Chinese name had to be decided first.
Original Time and Space It was not until 1998, when Avex began to enter the Chinese market, that it decided on the Chinese name "Ai Hui Music" and opened a branch in Taiwan.
In 2009, it was renamed Avex based on the homophony of Avex.
Both these two Chinese names come from alphabetic transliterations, but they are not very accurate. They should be called "Aiwei", but this is too much.
Yang Ye thought about it and suggested that the Chinese name be "Ai Hui Music". The word "Ai" is very similar to the Avex company's LOGO.
As for the name "Love Bakers", there is really nothing memorable about it, so it is considered a very failed name change.
After the name "Aihui Music" was decided, the next step was to open up the company's record department and plan the company's development direction.
Katsuto Matsuura has his own dream. He hopes that the company can develop in the direction of electronic dance music.
The dance music of "Girls' Generation" fascinated him very much. Matsuura Katsuto said: "I am very optimistic about Tetsuya Komuro of the TMNETWORK band and hope to invite him to join Aihui."
"Well, I have also heard of him. He is indeed very talented. Then it is up to you to invite him and give him a certain share of the stock."
Tetsuya Komuro will electronically Dance music became the mainstream of Japanese pop music in the mid-1990s, setting off a social phenomenon known as "Komuromania". Namie Amuro was his student.
Ai Hui Music can dominate Japan, and Matsuura Katsuto and Komuro Tetsuya are indispensable.
However, since Tatsumi Yida was the largest shareholder of the company, he took most of the money earned. The two were very unhappy and tried every means to embezzle the company's money.
Of course Yang Ye knew about this kind of thing, but he didn't take it to heart.
Because Yang Ye is not comparable to Yi Tian Xun, Yi Tian Xun just invested in Ai Hui in the early stage and got a big deal.
Other than that, he made little contribution to the company, so Matsuura Katsurato and Komuro Tetsuya were not convinced, and even later caused an incident of forced abortion.
But Yang Ye can provide Ai Hui with massive resources and even help the company develop overseas. Neither of them can accept it.
Furthermore, Yang Ye will not give up the credit for discovering top divas like Amuro Namie and Hamasaki Ayumi.
Yang Ye is their Bole, the person who is kind to them.
Before these girls debut, they all have to go to Hong Kong to be trained by Yang Ye.
In the original time and space, Matsuura Katsuto and Hamasaki Ayumi threatened to withdraw from Aihui and forced Yida Tatsumi to withdraw from Aihui. Yang Ye would not let it happen at all.
......
After meeting Matsuura Katsuto, Yang Ye left Tokyo and flew directly to Seoul.
It's not time yet to take Akina Nakamori out of Japan, she still needs a perfect ending!
As for what Yang Ye wants to do to Nakamori Akina's family and warn them not to suck Akina's blood again, that is impossible.
Those are Akina’s family members, her flesh and blood relatives.
They just want to get rich by holding on to Akina's lap, although they are a bit greedy.
Yang Ye doesn't like words like "blood-sucking".
When you earn hundreds of millions of wealth and you can't spend it all in ten lifetimes, why would you keep it if you don't give it to your family?
Of course, you have to have a certain limit, and you definitely can’t be as greedy as Akio Nakamori.
As for Mingsui, she is still young and very rebellious.
And because her sister is so good, she puts too much pressure on her, who is also a sister.
That’s why we act in extreme ways.
Some people may not understand that your sister is so awesome and you can lie down, wouldn't it be nice?
It feels good, but some people have stronger personalities and cannot stand this psychological gap.
For example, if a friend you grew up with suddenly becomes rich and you need to look up to him, would you feel very uncomfortable?
Between brothers and sisters, if one of them has a strong personality, it will be twice as uncomfortable.
Based on this mentality, Akiho knew that he could never catch up with Akina's achievements, so he made a desperate move and took off his clothes in order to get ahead.
This phenomenon is not unique to sisters Akina Akiho.
Another music queen, Stefanie Sun, her sister, Sun Yanmei, had a psychological gap because her sister was too good, and she and Stefanie once broke off the sister relationship.
Are Mingsui and Yanmei bad people? Of course not, in fact they are already very good compared to ordinary people.
It’s just that...their sisters are both geniuses on horseback, possessing talents that ordinary people cannot achieve no matter how hard they work.
This kind of talent is insurmountable!
In fact, Akiho is very good to her family. Since Akina was heartbroken by her family, she hid and stopped seeing them. From then on, Akiho took care of the whole family.
It is impossible for Yang Ye to do anything to hurt Mingcai's family just to vent her anger.
That is not to help her vent her anger, but to make her an enemy.
There is actually no good way to deal with this kind of conflict between families. The only way is... to hide!
Momoe Yamaguchi quit the entertainment industry, largely because she wanted to stay away from her "ghost father".
Akio Nakamori is not that outrageous, he is just greedy for money and wants to show off.
But Yang Ye and Ming Cai cannot always meet his requirements unconditionally.
As long as Akina stays away from him and never sees him again, he will naturally cease to exist.
This is what Akina did in the original space and time.
“Wait a little longer, I will come to pick you up!”
After Yang Ye and Ming Cai said this, they left Tokyo!
……
Seoul, Gimpo International Airport!
As soon as Yang Ye got off the plane, South Korea's No. 1 director Lim Kwon Taek and South Korea's No. 1 actress Choi Jin-sil, surrounded by a girl, came up to them.
The girl held a bouquet of flowers and gave it to Yang Ye. She smiled and said, "Director Yang, welcome to the Republic of Korea!"
Cui Zhenzhen solemnly introduced: "This is Miss Li Meijing of Samsung Group, and this is Mr. Lim Kwon-taek, the Korean director."
Yang Ye took the flowers and shook hands with the two of them politely: "Miss Li, you Good. Director Lin, I have long admired him!”
Im Kwon Taek is currently the number one director in South Korea, and is known as South Korea’s Jang Yimou in later generations.
His "Elegy" released in 1993 was South Korea's first local film to have more than one million viewers.
As for Li Meijing, Yang Ye was not blind, so he naturally recognized the Samsung Princess at a glance.
Some people may be curious, isn't the Princess of Samsung famous for marrying Li Fuzhen, a security guard?
Who is this Li Meijing?
This starts with the Samsung family. Samsung founder Lee Byung-cheol has three sons and five daughters.
The eldest daughter is called Lee In-hee. This is the real eldest princess. She later inherited Korea Hospital, Jeonju Papermaking, Shilla Hotel and other industries.
The eldest son is called Li Mengxi, who is Li Meijing’s father.
So according to family ranking, Li Meijing is Li Fuzhen's cousin, and she is the Samsung Princess.
However, her father Li Mengxi failed in his bid for the throne and lost to Li Jianxi, becoming the deposed prince.
So the princess Li Meijing is in name only.
But Li Meijing is not a vegetarian. She has a PhD in Chinese history from Fudan University, and her understanding of China may be deeper than many Chinese people.
After Lee Kun-hee officially became the second president of Samsung, Lee Meng-hee left South Korea and lived in the capital of China, handing over all the industries he divided to Lee Meijing.
Among these industries, the most important one is CJ Group.
Under the auspices of Li Meijing, CJ Group completed its separation from Samsung in 1993 and became completely independent.
Lee Meijing led CJ Group to develop into the entertainment industry, integrating South Korea's cultural industries such as radio, film, television, music, media, games, cultural performances and game projects, becoming South Korea's largest entertainment company.
That is, the famous CJ Entertainment. The Korean movie "Parasite" that later won the Academy Award was produced by CJ Entertainment.
Li Meijing shook hands with Yang Ye respectfully and said: "Hello, Mr. Yang, I will be responsible for receiving you during your trip to South Korea."
"Thank you!"
The distribution of Baiyang Pictures' films in South Korea has always been handled by Samsung.
When Yang Ye came to Korea this time, Li Meijing personally went to the airport to greet him. Naturally, Mr. Li, who had failed in the struggle for power, was leaving for the entertainment industry.
If Li Meijing wants to become a player in the Asian entertainment industry, dealing with Yang Ye is naturally indispensable.
Yang Ye has long been interested in infiltrating the Korean entertainment industry, but this country is so exclusive that at its peak, even Hollywood could not break in.
It's not easy to open a branch here or anything like that.
However, when he saw Li Meijing, Yang Ye knew that his opportunity had come.
Now that Mr. Li has failed to fight for the family property and is isolated and helpless, isn't it just a help in times of need? (End of this chapter)
