Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Chapter 463 If ​​it’s Akina Nakamori, then I won’t be sleepy

After a day of shopping, although everyone was very interested, they were actually a little tired.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang originally didn't want to attend the party in the evening. He thought it was boring, so he might as well sleep at Masashi Sada's house.

However, Masashi Sada insisted on dragging Cao Zhiqiang to go, saying that this was a gathering of like-minded singers and that he must go and experience it. He also introduced Cao Zhiqiang to his Japanese colleagues and said that it would be very helpful for Cao Zhiqiang's future debut.

Of course, these reasons alone are not enough to impress Cao Zhiqiang. After all, he is too tired.

What really moved Cao Zhiqiang was the name of a person who agreed to attend tonight's party.

"Nani? Akina Nakamori? She will come too?" Cao Zhiqiang's eyes widened.

"That's right." Masashi Sada nodded with a smile, "How are you, are you still sleepy?"

"If it's Akina Nakamori, then I won't be sleepy." Cao Zhiqiang quickly sat up from the bed.

Then, Cao Zhiqiang frowned and asked again: "No, will Akina Nakamori really come? You are not lying to me, are you?"

"Hahaha!"

Masashi Sada laughed loudly first, and then laughed softly: "Don't worry, Cao Sang, Miss Nakamori will definitely come.

In fact, I specifically invited her to meet you this time, and she has already agreed."

"Isn't it?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "Really? Invite her to see me specifically? What's going on?"

Masashi Sada smiled and said: "You forgot, when I was in Peking, didn't you tell me that when it comes to our Japanese singers, your favorites are Nakamori Akina and Nakajima Miyuki?

It's rare for you to come to Japan this time, and I will always make your dream come true.

Unfortunately, Miss Nakajima is currently not in Tokyo and cannot be contacted for the time being, but Miss Nakamori is still here.

I have already contacted Miss Zhongmori, and she has agreed to come and have a meal with us, tonight."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "Really or not? Can you invite Akina Nakamori? And have a meal with me? Are you bragging?"

Indeed, Akina Nakamori had already made her debut at this time, and she was not a small role. She had already won the first place on the Oricon Weekly Charts as early as last year.

Although Nakamori Akina is not yet at her peak, she is now a well-established singer, and her reputation in Japan has long surpassed that of the has-been singer Masashi Sada.

However, Masashi Sada in this world has another rise due to Cao Zhiqiang.

For example, the song "Sakura Saka" written by Cao Zhiqiang to Masashi Sada immediately went to No. 1 on the Oricon chart as soon as it appeared. It stayed at No. 1 for four consecutive weeks and only fell to No. 3 in the fifth week.

Even now, Masashi Sada's single "Sakurazaka" is still in the top ten of the Oricon weekly chart, and is almost becoming a phenomenon.

In other words, the Masashi Sada of this world has become famous with the song "Sakurazaka", and his performance is much better than his previous results. He has become Japan's top singer again, and even his popularity is far higher than it is now.

Akina Nakamori.

Hey, if he said that, he might really date Akina Nakamori.

"Go, you must go!" Cao Zhiqiang stood up and said, "Hurry, I can't wait."

"But the two Chinese friends you brought with you can't go." Masashi Sada said.

"Why?" Cao Zhiqiang, who had already stood up, frowned, "They are my assistants, why can't they go?"

Masashi Sada smiled: "Cao Sang, when I made an appointment with Miss Nakamori, Miss Nakamori told me that she didn't want to meet too many irrelevant people and only wanted to see you one more time. This was because she knew "Sakura Saka"

You wrote this song, and I only agreed to see you once, so I'm really sorry this time.

In fact, not only your two friends, but also my younger brothers and sisters can’t go. Only I will go with you.”

Cao Zhiqiang thought for a moment: "Okay, just the two of us, it's actually more comfortable this way."

Masashi Sada smiled and said, "Yeah, I think so too, hahaha."

In this way, after Cao Zhiqiang packed up, he told Anping and Xu Chun to get close to Sada Reiko and Sada Shigeri, and then went out with Sada Masashi.

When we went out, the sky was already a little dark, but the sun was setting and the scenery was pretty good.

How can I put it, the weather in Japan at this time is really good, unlike in Beijing at this time, the sky is always gray.

Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of air quality, Peiping is indeed not as good as Tokyo now.

After leaving Sada's house, the two of them walked for about half an hour instead of taking a taxi, and then arrived at the door of an izakaya.

According to Masashi Sada, this is where they met Akina Nakamori for dinner.

An izakaya is a tavern, but it not only provides drinks but also food. You can drink and chat here, and you can also eat, which is similar to a combination of a bar and a restaurant.

In Japan, the status of izakaya is very important. It is not only a place to eat and drink, but also an important social place.

So Masashi Sada made an appointment with Akina Nakamori to come to the izakaya, which was perfectly normal.

Generally speaking, Japanese izakayas are mostly antique, but this izakaya looks much more modern, with the addition of neon signs, which gives it a sense of combining classicism and modernity.

It became even more obvious after walking in. There were many small spotlights on the ceiling, and there was also a small stage.

If it hadn't been for Masaki Sada's words, Cao Zhiqiang would have thought this was a Japanese-style bar.

The proprietress was in her early forties and looked very familiar with Masashi Sada. It looked like she had known each other for a long time.

After Masashi Sada greeted the proprietress and introduced Cao Zhiqiang, he took Cao Zhiqiang directly to the reserved private room.

After entering the private room, everyone just drank tea and no food was served. The reason was that the guest invited by Masashi Sada, Akina Nakamori, had not yet arrived.

However, Masashi Sada quickly explained, saying that this time happened to be a traffic jam, and the place Nakamori Akina rented was some way away from here, so it was normal to be late.

In short, according to Masashi Sada, Akina Nakamori is a very nice person and has no airs. She will definitely come to the banquet if she says she will.

Before Akina Nakamori arrived, the two of them had to drink tea and chat while waiting for the guests to arrive.

While chatting, Masashi Sada first talked about his fate with Akina Nakamori.

It turns out that Akina Nakamori once sang a cover of Masashi Sada's song, which was his famous song "Mugenzaka".

During this period, Japan paid more attention to intellectual property rights, so even if it was a cover, it could not be sung indiscriminately, and it had to be approved by the creator.

So when Akina Nakamori wanted to cover this song, she met Masashi Sada under the leadership of her agency, and the two parties were considered acquaintances, but that was all.

After all, Masashi Sada and Akina Nakamori are not in the same age group, nor are they from the same era, and their song styles are also different, so there was basically no cooperation and no contact later.

What happened this time was because Masashi Sada heard that Cao Zhiqiang liked Akina Nakamori very much, and Masashi Sada wanted to open a brokerage company honestly in the future, and wanted to sign Cao Zhiqiang and push it out, so he shamelessly asked his friends for help.

, after searching for Nakamori Akina’s phone number, she called her and made a personal request to meet for dinner.

Originally, Masashi Sada thought that he had no friendship with Akina Nakamori in the past, so if he made a rash request, Akina Nakamori might refuse.

Unexpectedly, Akina Nakamori actually agreed, agreed to come to see Masashi Sada, and also agreed to meet Masashi Sada’s Chinese friend and her Chinese fan Cao Zhiqiang.

It can be said that this appointment with Akina Nakamori was all for Cao Zhiqiang.

"Cao Sang!" Masashi Sada said, "I have risked my life for you. You must feel my sincerity."

"Don't worry!" Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "I feel your sincerity and am very touched, but..."

"But what?" Masashi Sada asked.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Sada-kun, didn't we agree at the beginning that we would work together to form a group and open a multinational agency? Why do you want to change your mind now and sign me alone to make my solo debut? I'm actually very good at it.

Looking forward to working with you.”

Masashi Sada was silent for a moment, then silently poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all with a tilt of his neck, then put down the tea cup and sighed: "Cao Sang, now that things have happened, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth anymore.

Actually, I originally wanted to form a group with you and sing together, but I really can’t do it now.”

"Why?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "Because of your hepatitis?"

"It's not just that." Masashi Sada shook his head.

Next, Masashi Sada began to talk about the real reason why he did not form a combination with Cao Zhiqiang.

"My throat is not working anymore." Masashi Sada smiled bitterly.

"Your throat is broken?" Cao Zhiqiang looked at him doubtfully, "What do you mean? Your throat is broken? But you don't speak normally?"

Masashi Sada shook his head: "To be honest, after I became popular, because I held consecutive concerts and rushed to sing, not only did my hepatitis relapse, but I also damaged my vocal cords.

It's okay to speak softly like this now, but I can no longer sing at the top of my voice.

Well, it’s not that I can’t sing at all. I can sing in a soft voice, but I can’t sing loudly or too much.

In short, in my current situation, I cannot continue to be a singer."

"Isn't it?" Cao Zhiqiang immediately frowned, "Is it so serious? Can it be cured?"

"It's hard to say." Masashi Sada shook his head.

"The doctor said, start recovering well from now on, stop talking loudly, stop singing loudly, maybe take a year or two to recover slowly, maybe it will be better, but it's hard to say whether it can return to its original state.

No matter what, I won't be able to sing again for at least a year or two, unless there is a miracle.

Of course, I can force myself to sing, but my throat will be very sore and I won’t be able to sing the original voice. That will not only make me uncomfortable, but will also disappoint the fans, so I might as well take the opportunity to take a break.”

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang nodded, somewhat understanding.

In fact, although there are not many cases where singers have bad voices, there are still quite a few. For example, Wang Jie from Hong Kong and Taiwan was famous for his unique voice, but later his voice failed and he quickly disappeared.

Although he later kept saying that someone harmed him and poisoned him, which caused his throat to break.

But in fact, there are so many loopholes in this statement that almost no one believes it.

Later, someone broke the news that Wang Jie's broken voice was his own fault. It was because he kept rushing to sing in order to make money, and he didn't pay attention to taking care of his voice, and he smoked and drank too much, which led to his bad singing voice, and it is permanent.

.

It’s hard to say what’s going on with Wang Jie, but Masashi Sada is obviously a classic example.

Masashi Sada smokes, drinks, and is under great pressure because of debts.

However, after he suddenly became famous with his song "Sakura Saka", in order to take advantage of the opportunity to make more money, he held concerts and appeared on programs day and night, and sang with high intensity to make money.

High-intensity singing, combined with smoking and drinking, not only caused the hepatitis to relapse, but also damaged his voice.

For a pop singer, a broken voice really means the end of his singing career.

Fortunately, Masashi Sada does not just rely on singing to make a living. He is also a singer-songwriter himself, and he also has his own studio, which is a management company.

Therefore, even if Masashi Sada stops singing and writes songs exclusively for people, or concentrates on working in a management company, he is not without a future.

Obviously, Masashi Sada had this plan in mind now, so he approached Cao Zhiqiang.

"Forget it, there's nothing I can do about regretting it now." Masashi Sada suddenly laughed at himself, "No matter what, I have a real hit song. I have reached the peak of my singing career. I can temporarily retire during my peak period.

,Not bad."

"So, you want to step back behind the scenes and concentrate on your firm?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"That's right." Masashi Sada nodded.

"I've thought about it, since my voice is broken and I can't be a singer, I have to admit it.

Then, I am still carrying so much debt. If I don’t continue to work hard, I will be crushed by debt sooner or later.

Not only that, I will also harm my younger brothers and sisters, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, I must continue to work hard and pay off the debt first.

But I can’t do anything else, I can only make music. Of course, I can also try to be an actor.

However, the income from these jobs is too low, and it is unrealistic to make money from them.

Therefore, I just want to run my office well and be the president of the office with peace of mind."

"Oh, isn't that nice?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

Masashi Sada sighed: "It's good, but my office originally only served me personally. Now I can't be a singer myself. It's not easy to find new people."

After a pause, Masashi Sada looked at Cao Zhiqiang: "Fortunately, I found this great treasure like you in China. Your talent is the only one I have seen in my life. At least all the singers I know are not as good as you.

Although I don’t have much money now, I have been a singer for so many years, so I have a lot of connections, and I am familiar with many record companies, radio and television stations.

In the entertainment industry, whether you are a singer or an actor, the most important thing is your connections.

So, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I will definitely make you shine here!

Of course, I didn't give up singing.

If my voice recovers in the future, I can still come back and continue singing.

If you were already my artist by then, it wouldn’t be too late for us to form a group again, hahaha.”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Yeah, since you said I'm so powerful, why should I cooperate with you? I won't find other big brokerage companies, oh, is it a brokerage firm?"

Masashi Sada was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "Cao Sang, let's not talk about our relationship. Let's just say that you are a Chinese. If you want to develop here, I'm afraid not many big firms will dare to sign you.

Even if a big firm does sign you, the conditions will definitely be very harsh, far less good than the conditions I gave you.

Besides, those big offices have a lot of restrictions, how can they be as relaxed and comfortable as here?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Then have you ever thought about cooperation?"

"Cooperation?" Masashi Sada frowned, "What cooperation?"

Just as Cao Zhiqiang was about to explain, the door was suddenly opened, and two beautifully dressed young girls appeared.
