"cheers!"

After everyone happily clinked their wine glasses together, everyone drank the celebratory wine in the glasses, and then it was a happy time to chat while eating.

Well, now, a full day has passed since the press conference.

Facts have proved that with Sachiko Fujita and Sayuri Yoshinaga as the leaders, Nobuo Tomioka as the assist, and then combined with Fuji TV, Warner Pioneer, Toho Pictures, and an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who temporarily came on the line, under the combined pressure of so many forces, then

A member of the Senate quickly gave up and stopped intervening.

Without the protection of the big senator, relying only on Literary Spring and Autumn and several other firms, naturally they would not pose a threat to Cao Zhiqiang.

Of course, precisely because of this, Wen Yi Chun Qiu was very straightforward and directly asked all the staff of Weekly Wen Chun to hold a public press conference the morning after the press conference was released.

At Shukan Wenchun's press conference, all key officials stood in a row, bowed simultaneously in front of numerous reporters, and issued a public apology.

The attitude was very low, and they did not recruit temporary workers to fool people, but actually sent out core cadres to apologize.

Not only that, the top management of Wenyi Chunqiu also went to Cao Zhiqiang privately, knelt down in public, apologized and asked for forgiveness, and promised that similar things would never happen again.

By the way, Bungei Chunqiu also paid one million yen as compensation for mental damages.

The money issue is a minor issue, the key is to really do enough with your attitude.

Now that the other side bowed its head and gave in, Cao Zhiqiang also gave up on the situation.

Of course, in addition to giving in, Wenyi Chunqiu also straightforwardly confessed the mastermind of this incident.

It turned out that the mastermind who found the senator and asked the senator to come forward and let Wenyi Chunqiu come out to deal with Cao Zhiqiang was actually an unexpected person, the president of Watanabe Manufacturing - Watanabe Shin.

Watanabe Manufacturing was actually what was later often referred to as Watanabe Entertainment.

Although Watanabe Entertainment has declined somewhat after two thousand years, it is still a big company that can compete with Johnny's.

However, from the 1970s to the 1990s, when it comes to the largest entertainment company in Japan, it can only be Watanabe Entertainment.

At this time, Johnny's, Burning Pro, etc. were still just the underlings of Watanabe Entertainment, and they could only grovel and eat the scraps that Watanabe Entertainment did not want.

Shin Watanabe, who founded Watanabe Entertainment, is a legendary figure in the Japanese entertainment industry, or the entertainment industry. Especially in the 1980s, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can make all the difference in the Japanese entertainment industry.

It is precisely because of this that Fuji TV later made a movie adapted from a biography called "The Man Who Changed the Entertainment Industry - The Story of Shin Watanabe", which is about this entertainment industry tycoon, Watanabe.

Jin's life.

Although the Watanabe Office opened by Shin Watanabe was not the earliest artist agency, it was indeed the first agency to propose a monthly salary system for artists, and it also launched many well-known artists and groups.

For example, the Candies, the originator of girl idol groups and a group that once shined in Japan, was launched by Watanabe Manufacturing.

There is also the original singing team of "Passionate Desert", The Peanuts Group, which was also launched by Watanabe Studio.

It can be said that Watanabe Manufacturing, or Watanabe Entertainment, rose rapidly in the 1960s and 1970s. By the end of the 1970s, it had become the leading entertainment company in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Throughout the 1980s, when talking about entertainment agencies, almost everyone knew about Watanabe Entertainment.

Today, there are too many celebrities who are launched by Watanabe Entertainment or are related to Watanabe Entertainment.

Relatively speaking, in the actor industry, Watanabe Entertainment is still slightly less dominant, but in the idol group, especially the singer industry, Watanabe Entertainment is definitely dominant at this time.

It is not difficult to understand why Watanabe Entertainment wants to embarrass Cao Zhiqiang.

It is true that Cao Zhiqiang's talent is too strong and he is too popular, blocking the way of Watanabe Entertainment.

Of course, relying on only Watanabe Entertainment, it is unlikely that Cao Zhiqiang will be troubled alone.

So there should be shadows of other firms behind this.

Watanabe Entertainment is just the largest, so they came out to be the leader.

In fact, Susumu Watanabe, the boss of Watanabe Entertainment, initially wanted to cooperate with Cao Zhiqiang.

Unfortunately, Cao Zhiqiang always lives in seclusion. Cao Zhiqiang rejected the multiple meeting applications submitted by Watanabe Entertainment and did not give him any face.

This is actually an injustice to Cao Zhiqiang.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang didn't even know this happened.

The real situation is that Watanabe Entertainment contacted someone through Warner to sign a contract with Cao Zhiqiang, but Warner rejected it in advance and then did not notify Cao Zhiqiang of the matter. It is said that it was to avoid disturbing Cao Zhiqiang's creative work.

Watanabe Entertainment was naturally not happy with such a lack of respect, so he wanted to find someone from the Yakuza organization to give Cao Zhiqiang a warning and ask him to restrain himself a little.

As a result, this investigation did not matter. It was found that Cao Zhiqiang's identity was sensitive and people from the Yakuza side did not dare to mess around.

Yes, the Japanese Yakuza at this time are not ordinary gangsters fighting on the streets. They must investigate the opponent clearly before starting anything.

In addition to being a well-known singer and receiving full protection from Warner, the most troublesome thing about Cao Zhiqiang is that he is Chinese and holds an official passport and is a domestic official.

Yes, Cao Zhiqiang is a senior manager of Hongguang Machinery Factory, and Hongguang Machinery Factory is a state-owned enterprise, so in theory, Cao Zhiqiang is an official.

If it was before, this would be nothing.

But now is the stage of China-Japan friendship, and this kind of thing is very sensitive.

Once a diplomatic incident occurs, it will be hard to live with.

So the Yakuza organization rejected the suggestion of committing evil acts and advised Watanabe Entertainment not to do that.

Because of this incident, Watanabe Entertainment originally wanted to swallow this breath and hide from Cao Zhiqiang.

However, Cao Zhiqiang releases songs endlessly. He releases new songs almost every week. The new songs he releases every week have to reach the top five of the Oricon chart. In the end, his songs directly dominate the charts.

That's all. The key point is that because Cao Zhiqiang is too good-looking, it creates a siphon effect.

To put it simply, Cao Zhiqiang’s songs are so good and sung so well that they always give people the ultimate entertainment experience.

After listening to Cao Zhiqiang's songs, if I listen to other Japanese songs, they will just taste the same.

It's like eating Buddha Jumping Over the Wall and never wanting to dig through the trash can to drink swill again.

If this metaphor is inappropriate, then another metaphor is even more obvious - audio poison!

Yes, many people believe that the songs sung by Cao Zhiqiang, or Morinaka Aizumi himself, have a unique magic power, which is a kind of magic that makes people addicted after listening to it.

This is not about Cao Zhiqiang's creative ability, but about Cao Zhiqiang's singing ability.

It is undeniable that the songs written by Cao Zhiqiang himself are very amazing, both in terms of music and lyrics, but just in this way, they will not make people crazy.

The real reason lies in Cao Zhiqiang's own singing voice, or in other words, the expressiveness of his own voice.

In fact, the songs composed by Cao Zhiqiang are not only released on records and videos, but also on KTV turntables. Many karaoke halls have actually been authorized to sing the six songs by Cao Zhiqiang.

During the recent period, Cao Zhiqiang’s six songs have been the most requested, and they are definitely the most popular at the moment.

Even many young singers resident in the bar began to cover Tsao Chi-Qiang's songs privately.

However, everyone found that no matter who sang the cover, they could not sing the unique flavor of Cao Zhiqiang.

That kind of taste is not single, but ever-changing, and every change is at its peak, making it impossible to imitate.

The cheerfulness of "Kun no Tsunami", the deep feeling of "Tsunami", each of Cao Zhiqiang's songs has a different theme and a different charm, which can arouse everyone's different emotions and make people want to stop.

Playing it in a loop is like being poisoned.

Unless you have no musical ability at all, as long as you have some musical ability or music appreciation ability, as long as you hear a song sung by Cao Zhiqiang himself, you will be quickly poisoned and captured by his singing.

The more music cells there are, the higher the level of music, and the higher the degree of intoxication.

Then, as long as the time lasts a little longer, just like those pornographic gentlemen who are heavy smokers, they are only interested in Cao Zhiqiang's songs and no longer interested in other songs.

Of course, relatively speaking, there are only a minority of patients with severe song poisoning.

Only those who have a lot of music cells and are particularly fond of music will become patients with this kind of severe poisoning.

However, this kind of poisoning only makes you feel indifferent when listening to other songs. There is no other more serious problem, so it is not a big problem. It can even be said to further prove Cao Zhiqiang's singing talent.

It seems that it is not a problem for the audience, but for other singers, it is a big problem.

Because once everyone only likes Cao Zhiqiang’s songs and no longer likes other people’s songs, how can other singers still hang out?

The fact is that since Chi-Chiang Chiu’s six songs have been dominating the charts, the record sales of other pop singers have plummeted.

Not only the sales of pop singers, but also some classical songs have also plummeted.

Even some particularly popular English rock songs are said to have seen a slight drop in sales recently.

However, the decline in English songs is still within an understandable range and is not a big problem. However, the general cliff-like decline in sales of Japanese songs is a big problem.

Many entertainment companies often rely on singers to make money, and the biggest source of money for singers is record sales.

This is not only the sales of the record itself, but also directly linked to the singer's reputation.

A singer who sells 10,000 copies a week is definitely incomparable to a singer who sells 100,000 copies a week.

However, the problem is that when Cao Zhiqiang's sixth song appeared, except for Nakamori Akina's "Hard to Break a Ship" which followed closely and became the seventh, the sales of other people's songs suddenly plummeted.

.

For example, the number eight this week sold only 5,000 copies in the first week!

The sales volume of other singers' new songs in the first week is generally less than 1,000.

This kind of situation where Cao Zhiqiang is the only one and everyone else is silent is simply outrageous. It can be said that it has never happened in the Japanese music industry.

Even Misora ​​Hibari, who was once very popular back then, is far from reaching this level.

The only people who can compare with Cao Zhiqiang's situation are probably the former American singer Elvis Presley and the current Michael Jackson who is in the limelight.
