Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

The door was suddenly opened from the outside, and Cao Zhiqiang subconsciously closed his mouth and turned to look at the door.

When I saw two girls appearing at the door, I was immediately stunned.

These two girls are both young and beautiful, but their styles are completely different.

Among them, the girl with shawl hair has a very pure and sunny temperament, like a girl next door, and is very suitable for wearing JK uniforms.

The other one has a braided head and a hat. Her temperament looks cooler and more like a rebellious girl.

Although the girl with shawl hair looks very innocent, she is obviously not Akina Nakamori.

On the other hand, the girl with braided braids and a hat and a cold and unconventional face was not the same as the Nakamori Akina he remembered.

So for a moment, Cao Zhiqiang was a little unsure. He didn't know who among the two was Akina Nakamori.

No wonder Cao Zhiqiang didn't recognize her right away. In fact, he was very confused about Nakamori Akina's appearance.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang's predecessor was a post-90s generation, and he was not very familiar with Japanese singers in the 1980s.

There are not many famous Japanese singers who were active in the 1980s that he is really familiar with, and he can recognize them at once. Strictly speaking, there is only one Nakajima Miyuki.

The reason why he was able to recognize Miyuki Nakajima at once was because he later listened to many popular songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is said that the original singer was Miyuki Nakajima. There are even rumors that Miyuki Nakajima supports half of the Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

It was precisely because he heard about this incident that he took a closer look at the singer and searched for a lot of information about her.

The more you see it, the more you will naturally understand it.

Also, although Miyuki Nakajima's appearance is not amazing, it is very recognizable. There is not much difference between when she was young and when she was old, so he can naturally recognize Miyuki Nakajima's appearance.

As for Akina Nakamori, it's different. Until now, he has been very vague about the appearance of this female star.

The reason why he met Akina Nakamori was during a summer vacation in high school in his previous life, because he watched a Japanese drama called "Rare Friends" when he was bored. One of the heroines of this drama was Akina Nakamori.

He probably still remembers the plot of the drama "A Rare Friend", but he almost forgets the looks of the actresses. He only remembers the very different personalities of the two heroines and the beautiful friendship between them.

However, the theme song was very catchy. He had listened to it on repeat throughout the summer vacation and had already known it by heart. Even now, when he thinks about it, he still has an impression of it and can hum it right away.

By the way, he still remembered the name of the theme song, it was "君がいるだけで", and its Chinese name was "As long as I have you".

For a long time, he always thought that the song was sung by Akina Nakamori, one of the heroines, so he also searched for information about Akina Nakamori.

As a result, I found out after checking that the original singer of that song was not Akina Nakamori, but a band called Mimi Club, and Akina Nakamori later sang the cover.

But because of this incident, Cao Zhiqiang learned a lot about Akina Nakamori.

In short, the impression that Akina Nakamori gave to Cao Zhiqiang is that she has long wavy hair with a shawl, and a bit of a playful and cheerful look.

But this is a girl with a cheerful personality, which is very different from the Akina Nakamori in my memory.

The other girl with braided braids has a cold face, which is obviously not like Akina Nakamori.

Oops, isn't it just Akina Nakamori?

What's going on when two women show up at once?

Can't tell who is who at all?

Just when Cao Zhiqiang looked confused, the two girls suddenly bowed slightly to Masashi Sada.

When the two of them raised their heads again, the girl with shawl hair said nothing.

But the girl with a braided braid, a small checkered hat and a cold face suddenly smiled softly and took the initiative to speak to Masashi Sada: "Hello, Sada-senpai, I'm very sorry, I'm late."

Masashi Sada immediately laughed: "It's not too late, Miss Nakamori is too polite, we have just arrived."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang's eyebrows immediately moved.

Well, there is no need to divide it now, this girl with braided braids is Akina Nakamori.

At this time, Masashi Sada looked at the girl with shawl hair next to Akina Nakamori: "This is..."

"Hello, senior." The girl with shawl hair smiled cheerfully, "My name is Koizumi Kyoko, I am also a singer, I have made my debut, and my contract company is Burning Production."

Masashi Sada suddenly realized: "Ah, it's BURNING Office, President Su Fang's person. Well, President Su Fang is very capable, and you are so beautiful, you will definitely have a bright future in the future."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior." The girl who called herself Koizumi Kyoko immediately laughed.

Masashi Sada laughed: "Haha, since you are here, please take a seat first."

The two girls smiled and nodded, then took off their shoes, entered the private room together, closed the door, and knelt down side by side opposite Cao Zhiqiang and Masashi Sada.

After the two girls took their seats, Masashi Sada immediately asked Akina Nakamori: "Ms. Nakamori, didn't you agree that you would come alone? Why..."

Before Akina Nakamori could speak, Kyoko Koizumi who was next to her suddenly interrupted with a smile: "Senior, it's like this. Akina and I are good friends. Originally, I was looking for her to have dinner today. Seeing that she was going out, I said it was senior who invited me to dinner.

You just shamelessly followed me, you don’t mind if I’m one more person, do you?”

Masashi Sada immediately smiled: "No, no, no, how could it be?"

Immediately afterwards, Masashi Sada also nodded to Kyoko Koizumi and said: "Sorry, Miss Koizumi, I didn't recognize you just now. It's just that I haven't been in the entertainment industry for a long time, so I don't know much about some new people.

"

Speaking of this, Masashi Sada smiled and touched his head: "I can't help it, who made me a has-been singer now, hahaha."

"Senpai is not a has-been singer." Koizumi Kyoko said with a smile, "Your previous song "Sakura Saka" was super popular. It ranked first on the Oricon weekly chart for four consecutive weeks, and it has not fallen out of the top ten now.

It is said that it was promoted by one place yesterday and is back to fifth place.

Let me tell you, senior, you are too low-key.

If you didn’t take an early break half a month ago, and continued to increase publicity, participate in more TV programs, and hold a few more concerts, maybe the popularity would be even higher.”

Masashi Sada smiled bitterly: "I think so too, but...well, let's not mention that for now."

At this point, Masashi Sada remembered the serious matter and began to introduce Cao Zhiqiang: "Miss Nakamori, Miss Koizumi, this is my good friend, Mr. Cao Zhiqiang from China.

By the way, he wrote the music and lyrics of my popular song "Sakura Saka", and he also insisted on giving this song to me."

"Hi!" Nakamori Akina immediately smiled and sat upright, taking the initiative to extend her right hand to Cao Zhiqiang, "Hello, Mr. Cao Zhiqiang, uh, do you speak Japanese?"

Hearing what she said, Cao Zhiqiang didn't know how to complain.

You said so much in Japanese, and finally you asked in Japanese if you knew Japanese?

However, this thought was fleeting. Cao Zhiqiang quickly straightened up, stretched out his right hand to shake the other person's hand, and then said with a smile: "I can speak Japanese, and I am very happy to meet you, Miss Zhongmori."

After shaking hands gently with Akina Nakamori, Cao Zhiqiang politely retracted his hand.

Who would have thought that Koizumi Kyoko suddenly stood up, crossed the table in a few steps, walked directly to Cao Zhiqiang, then took the initiative to bow with a smile on his face, stretched out his hands and said: "Hello, Mr. Cao Zhiqiang, I am Koizumi Kyoko.

Nice to meet you!"

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned and just about to stand up, who knew Koizumi Kyoko suddenly said: "Ah, you don't have to get up!"

After saying that, Koizumi Kyoko actually sat down on the right side of Cao Zhiqiang and stretched out his hands again: "Hello, Mr. Cao Zhiqiang, please give me your advice."

Cao Zhiqiang blinked and had no choice but to stretch out his hands and shake hands with the other party.

After shaking hands, Cao Zhiqiang thought that the other party would get up and go back. Who knew that Koizumi Kyoko actually sat next to Cao Zhiqiang and refused to leave.

Not only that, she was also a stranger, and took the initiative to ask Cao Zhiqiang: "Cao Sang, can I call you that?"

"Ah, yes." Cao Zhiqiang smiled dryly and nodded, his expression a little embarrassed, as if he was a little uncomfortable with Koizumi Kyoko's familiarity.

However, Koizumi Kyoko seemed not to see the embarrassment on Cao Zhiqiang's face, nor the surprise on Sada Masashi and Nakamori Akina, and continued to ask Cao Zhiqiang in a familiar manner: "Cao Sang, are you really from China?"

"Yes!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"But you speak Japanese very fluently." Koizumi Kyoko frowned, "It's an authentic Kanto accent, just like a local in Tokyo. Are you a Japanese overseas?"

"No." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "I am an authentic Chinese."

"Is that so? You have lived in Japan for a long time, right?" Kyoko Koizumi asked again.

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "No, this is my first time in Japan."

"Then how come your Japanese is so good?"

"Well, self-taught."

"Awesome!" Koizumi Kyoko clasped her hands together, "That's amazing. What's even more amazing is that you can write songs in Japanese? By the way, you really wrote that "Sakura Saka"? And the lyrics too?"

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, so are the lyrics."

"Did you write the lyrics in Japanese?" Kyoko Koizumi asked again.

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"It's amazing." Kyoko Koizumi said excitedly, "I'm sorry, did I scare you? The song "Sakura Saka" is really great. I really like it. I really like both the music and the lyrics.

To be honest, I originally thought this was Sada-senpai's song, so when I heard that I came to meet Sada-senpai this time, I licked my face and thought about coming over to see him, and preferably get an autograph.

But I never expected that the song was written by Cao Sang."

Speaking of this, Koizumi Kyoko turned to Masashi Sada and smiled: "Of course, I'm not saying that you can't sing well, Sada-senpai. You sing very well. I just really like the melody and lyrics of this song, especially the lyrics."

, it’s so well written, so I especially want to meet the person who wrote the lyrics of this song.”

Masashi Sada smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, Cao Sang is really talented. Not only is he good at writing songs, his singing level is also above mine.

In addition, he is just not well-known here. In fact, in their home country, he has just debuted for two months, and he is currently the most popular singer in China, more popular than me."

"Nani?" Kyoko Koizumi looked at Cao Zhiqiang in surprise, "Is Cao Sang also a singer?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled modestly: "Sing whatever you want, have a little fight, I can't compare with you."

Masashi Sada suddenly laughed and said: "Cao Sang is too humble. Excessive humility is hypocrisy."

After finishing speaking, Masashi Sada said to Kyoko Koizumi: "Miss Koizumi, I'm afraid you don't know yet. Cao Sang just made his debut in China two months ago and released his first album. You know that in two months,

What are the current sales of this record?"

"How much is it?" Kyoko Koizumi asked exaggeratedly.

Masashi Sada calmly raised two fingers.

"Two hundred thousand?" Kyoko Koizumi said in surprise, "That's amazing!"

Indeed, according to Japanese standards, being able to sell 200,000 records within two months just after debuting is definitely an impressive achievement.

Koizumi Kyoko is actually a relatively well-known singer, but when she first debuted, her debut single "Private 16 Talents" sold well, but in two months, it did not sell 200,000 yuan.

"No, no, no." Masashi Sada suddenly shook his head, "You are wrong, it is two million!"

"Nani? Two million?" Koizumi Kyoko was immediately shocked.

Not to mention Koizumi Kyoko, even Nakamori Akina opposite was stunned.

"Are you kidding me?" Kyoko Koizumi couldn't help but cover her mouth and said.

"Of course I'm joking." Cao Zhiqiang suddenly interrupted, "When is that old data? In fact, as far as I know, as of the day I came, which was yesterday, the sales volume of my album in China was

It has exceeded four million."

"Four, four million?" Koizumi Kyoko's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

Not to mention Kyoko Koizumi, even Masashi Sada looked at the calm Cao Zhiqiang in disbelief.

"Cao Sang." Masashi Sada couldn't help but ask, "Are you telling the truth? Is it true that the sales volume has exceeded four million?"

"Of course it's true." Cao Zhiqiang shrugged, "You forget, I own a record company in China, and my album was released by my company, so the statistics on the number of releases are absolutely correct.

"

"Do you still have a record company?" Koizumi Kyoko couldn't help but ask again.

"Strictly speaking, that company is not mine." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "The current situation in our country is a bit special. The record company I mentioned essentially belongs to the country. I only have some shares in it, and I am

The general manager of that company is similar to the president here, he just has the final say."

"That's pretty awesome, no, it's super awesome!" Koizumi Kyoko said with a frown.

"Yeah." Masashi Sada shook his head and said, "Sales of four million, just over two months ago, ah, you are, this is, ah! It's terrible! Compared with you, we are nothing, nothing

Ah, it’s nothing!”

Kyoko Koizumi nodded seriously, and Akina Nakamori pursed her lips and said nothing. She just frowned slightly and looked at Cao Zhiqiang with a scrutinizing face.

Cao Zhiqiang suddenly smiled and shook his head: "Okay, don't praise me so much when you first come up. It makes me feel embarrassed. In fact, although the data I mentioned before are all correct, it is also a matter of national differences.

After all, you know the population of our country. It is a country with a population of over one billion.

Judging from this population base, my sales volume is nothing.

Moreover, you can’t just look at sales volume, the key is income.

In fact, because our country's current economy is not very good, although my record sales are high, the income I can get is not high.

Maybe my sales of four million records, which can be distributed to me, are not as profitable as those of your singers with sales of 400,000."

Well, Cao Zhiqiang is just lying.

In fact, the profit he earns from recording records in China is slightly higher than the profit sharing model for Japanese singers in Japan.

However, this is only Cao Zhiqiang’s personal situation and is not universal.

If we talk about other domestic singers, then Cao Zhiqiang is indeed right. After all, domestic singers do not pay profit sharing at this time, but only give bonuses, or buyout fees, which is actually not much money.

The income of domestic singers soared only after 1985.

Anyway, judging from the current situation, there is no singer in China whose income from a single album can be higher than Cao Zhiqiang.

After all, he started his own company, and then used his own company to open a small business for himself, and pioneered the share-sharing model for singers. At present, he is the only one, and there is no semicolon.

But after all, when you come to a foreign country, it’s better to be humble.

Otherwise, if you show off from the very beginning, it will only offend people.

This was not what he wanted.
