Chapter 704 I became the spiritual leader of your young people?

"Hi, Mr. Tomioka, your steak is medium rare, as well as a vegetable salad and tuna sashimi. Please be welcome."

"Wow, it looks delicious! Akina-chan, you are really good at it. Whoever marries you will be really lucky!"

"Ah, Mr. Tomioka, you really know how to joke."

"No, no, no, I'm just telling the truth."

After some Japanese courtesy, Nobuo Tomioka laid out his napkin, picked up his knife and fork, and enjoyed the pan-fried Kobe Wagyu beef specially made by Akina Nakamori with a smile.

Although the cooking method is simple, Nobuo Tomioka still looks very happy eating because the ingredients are of high quality.

But looking at Nobuo Tomioka eating happily, Cao Zhiqiang fell into deep thought.

He now somewhat understood the meaning of what Tomioka Nobuo just said.

That is, he really lacks the consciousness of an idol star and really ignores his influence in the Japanese pop music scene.

Even an American like Michael Jackson, who was born and raised in the United States, later encountered all kinds of difficulties and frame-ups in his own country, let alone a Chinese who came to Japan to play.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang didn't think much about this matter.

After all, paparazzi and entertainment gossip can be found everywhere.

Even in China, aren’t there magazines like Popular Cinema that report on celebrity gossip?

There were paparazzi and gossip magazines even in China at this time, let alone a capitalist developed country like Japan.

However, Cao Zhiqiang never expected that he would now reach a point where people are afraid and resentful.

Just kidding, he has only been in Japan for a long time, and yet he is already so high up in the cold that the wind in the forest will destroy him?

Well, if you think about it carefully, this is nothing. It can even be said that this situation is normal, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang has the golden voice talent given by the system, the ability to play several top-level instruments, and many popular songs that have only become popular in the past and future. With many factors added together, Cao Zhiqiang naturally swept the Japanese pop music scene with his tyrannical strength.

.

Japan has always had a tendency to admire talents, and its pursuit of talents is no less than that of the country at this time. In addition, Cao Zhiqiang is still a young and handsome guy, which makes Neon people even more attracted to him.

However, the more the general public likes him, the greater his fame becomes, and the greater his fame, the greater the pressure he brings to other peers.

What's even more outrageous is that Cao Zhiqiang is also an all-around prolific artist. Not only does he write songs that become hits one after another, he even takes the time to write novels and scripts using his vest, and he also achieves great success.

Facing a monster like Cao Zhiqiang who succeeds in whatever he does, who among the colleagues is not afraid?

If there are huge interests involved, then it will not only be a matter of fear, but also hatred.

You know, in the Japanese entertainment industry, the most profitable profession is not actors, but singers, especially singer-songwriters.

Because except for a few top actors in Japan, such as Ken Takakura and Sayuri Yoshinaga, most actors do not earn much. Most of them receive an ordinary salary every month or a small amount of performance sharing.

.

The most profitable part for an actor is actually advertising revenue, but advertising generally only favors those top actors with high popularity, and young actors don't have much advertising revenue.

But singers are different.

Singers, especially singer-songwriters, can earn royalties.

That is to say, like Cao Zhiqiang, the higher the album sales, the higher the copyright share will be.

In addition, the income from concerts and commercials is considerable.

Generally speaking, the income of singers is generally higher than that of actors. Even top actors have lower incomes than top singers.

Just like Cao Zhiqiang, he only released six songs in total when he came to Japan, but because of his overwhelming popularity, his related income, even if all expenses are put aside, he has already earned more than 400 million yen.

Four hundred million yen, this is something that many singers will never earn in their lifetime.

But Cao Zhiqiang made money in just a few months.

It really lives up to that saying, waterlogging will kill you, drought will kill you.

Previously, because of Cao Zhiqiang's aggressive approach, all other people who wanted to release songs would immediately stop their efforts and avoid Cao Zhiqiang's advances as soon as they saw Cao Zhiqiang releasing a new song.

But Cao Zhiqiang releases a song every other week, and every other week. If he doesn't release a song, it will immediately cause a sensation and a rush to buy. The new song will directly rise to the top of the major music charts, and it will soon form a trend of dominating the charts.

Now Cao Zhiqiang has released six songs, and the top six in Japan's major charts are all his six songs.

This situation is simply disappointing.

If Cao Zhiqiang continues to release one song every week in the future, how will other people live?

Do you have to live in the shadow of Cao Zhiqiang for the rest of your life and tremble in this shadow for the rest of your life?

Therefore, even if it is for profit, those singers will certainly have to fight back.

However, Cao Zhiqiang is now the darling of Warner and Fuji TV. The "101 Proposals" co-produced by him and Fuji TV has achieved unprecedented results.

Even Dongbao Pictures is very fond of Cao Zhiqiang.

After all, the movie "Love in the Rain" imported from China by Cao Zhiqiang achieved a total box office of 500 million yen this time. It not only created a box office history for Japanese movies, but also made Toho Pictures a huge profit.

Therefore, whether it is Warner Pioneer, Fuji TV, or Toho Pictures, these large groups and companies all regard Cao Zhiqiang as their treasure.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang can really bring fame and profits to these companies.

That's all. The key is that Cao Zhiqiang still has a political aura of Sino-Japanese friendship.

As a native of China, due to the current political climate, the Neon Government wants to have good relations with China.

This is not only because of the request of the American father behind the scenes, but also because of actual needs.

After all, Neon Country's current domestic production is severely overproduced and it is in urgent need of opening up a new market, and the vast mainland market is undoubtedly the most wonderful market.

It’s just that for a long time in the past, the mainland market has been relatively closed, and due to historical reasons between the two countries, Neon’s products have been unable to enter it normally.

But things are different now. Mainland China is opening up. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

However, although the mainland has opened up, there is still a crisis of dissatisfaction.

Therefore, it would be much more convenient if you could find a "friendly person" who is familiar with the situation in mainland China to help.

Previously, after Cao Zhiqiang came here, he had a cooperation with a little-known Daito Investment Company in Tokyo and Taiyo Yuden Group, which is slightly famous in the industry, to open a new company in mainland China to produce magnetic tape products.

This has actually caught the attention of many large Japanese companies, especially Pioneer.

They are all waiting and watching, wanting to see how Taiyo Yuden is doing in mainland China this time.

As long as Taiyo Yuden's operations in mainland China are okay this time, it is conceivable that large groups such as Pioneer Company, Victory Company, and even Sony will flock to seek cooperation with Cao Zhiqiang.

Yes, maybe Cao Zhiqiang himself is not aware of this, but in fact, those caring people in Neon are already vaguely aware that these large groups are vaguely trying to protect themselves.

Otherwise, Cao Zhiqiang would be an outsider from mainland China.

How could it be possible to have a smooth journey and thrive in the Japanese music scene without any difficulty?

How is it possible to easily obtain the rights to screen movies in mainstream theaters in Japan?

How is it possible for almost all the local big media companies in Neon to collectively defend it?

Yes, only through secret protection by large groups and powerful forces can Cao Zhiqiang be able to unleash his strength unscrupulously without suffering the first wave of suppression from local forces.

What? Teresa Teng? How come she was fine back then?

Haha, when Teresa Teng first came to Japan, she encountered many difficulties. Otherwise, why would Teresa Teng go to Japanese nightclubs to sing?

Moreover, Teresa Teng's achievements in Japan were not high, and her highest peak was just like that.

It can be said that the achievements and wealth that Teresa Teng accumulated over the years in Japan are not even a fraction of those of Cao Zhiqiang.

At this time, most Japanese people may not know about Teresa Teng, but if you ask Morinaka Qingquan, almost no one knows about it now.

Under such circumstances, those ordinary brokerage companies simply did not dare to use ordinary means to deal with Cao Zhiqiang.

At least, those dirty methods cannot be used.

If normal means cannot be used, what should we do? Should we just sit back and wait for death?

After all, those people don't know that Cao Zhiqiang has decided to return to China and will not release Japanese songs for the time being.

They thought that with Tsao's previous frequency of releasing music, a new song would be released soon.

What's more, it appears to be Akina Nakamori, but it's actually Aiyin Office founded by Cao Zhiqiang. Recently, many female students have signed contracts at Tokyo University of the Arts, and they plan to organize an all-female song and dance troupe. Because it is not secretive, it is not difficult for those who are interested.

Know.

They even knew that Cao Zhiqiang specially provided these people with many good songs for them to practice rigorously.

As for those songs, those who are interested have heard them and know that they are another batch of good songs that are destined to become popular. Moreover, the intellectual property rights have been registered long ago, so they cannot copy them even if they want to.

Although there are no lyrics, a good song like this is still very powerful even without lyrics. What's more, for a genius like Cao Zhiqiang, writing lyrics is not a casual matter?

Therefore, time did not wait for us, so they had to find another way to dig a trap for Cao Zhiqiang starting from his private life.

Obviously, they persuaded Weekly Wenchun to do the scandal report between Cao Zhiqiang and Nakamori Akina.

It's just that scandal reports of this level should not immediately cause a backlash from Warner and other large groups.

After all, to a certain extent, scandals of this level actually increase the actor's popularity and reputation.

Especially Cao Zhiqiang and Nakamori Akina. They are close in age and both are single. If the scandal can be revealed, it will actually be good for both parties.
