Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 389 No But

"As long as you sign here, the company will immediately handle the formalities for you, and you will quit that crappy AV group and embark on the bright road of becoming the youngest master musician in District 11!"

"It's the AFO group..."

Like a pyramid scheme scammer, Yamazaki Hiroshi patiently persuaded Xia Fan and secretly slipped a pen into his hand...

"Don't worry, I won't cheat you. Company Be will pay for all the liquidated damages... Come, follow me and sign here, Xia..."

He grabbed Xia Fan's hand with his arm that was bulging with veins, and began to "draw symbols" on the signature column of the agreement.

"I didn't expect that the company would be so opposed to Xia Jun becoming an idol?"

"The penalty for breach of contract for a limited talent show group is astronomical... From another perspective, it actually means that the company values ​​Xia Jun more than ever before."

On the other side, Hoshina Hanami and Tachibana Ryoko, who were secretly observing the two's actions, gossiped in low voices.

What Hiroshi Yamazaki said does make sense, and the agreement in his hand was obviously instructed by the company.

Personally, "musicians" at the top of the entertainment industry food chain crush the "idols" at the bottom in terms of income and status.

From a public perspective, Bethesda's business is not in the idol sector. It would be a waste of time to waste a talented musician who has released three hit songs in a quarter.

"I'm sorry, Section Chief Yamazaki..."

But when the pen tip touched the paper, Xia Fan's hand froze...

"When I first joined the show, I really just wanted to gain some popularity, and I never thought about debuting as a group."

"Even if I quit the group now, if the company bears the penalty, I won't suffer any personal loss. Maybe J-company will be relieved, and they won't have to worry about me taking away their resources, and they can focus on training their own trainees."

He looked at Yamazaki Hiroshi and spoke seriously and calmly.

"That's right, Mr. Xia, you are indeed a wise man. Signing this agreement now will be a happy outcome for everyone!"

Yamazaki Hiroshi said this with gritted teeth, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move Xia Fan's wrist at all.

"but……"

"I knew there was a 'but', but there can't be a but. No matter what, you have to sign this first and then the but..."

Being stared at by Xia Fan's clear eyes, Yamazaki Hiroshi suddenly lost the motivation to interrupt, and a lazy feeling of "I can't do anything about you, little bad boy" arose spontaneously.

"But, my debut position is backed by countless fans who invested real money..."

"My withdrawal from the group now would be a betrayal of their trust, which is no different from betrayal."

Taking advantage of the moment when Yamazaki Hiroshi's momentum weakened, Xia Fan continued to speak sincerely.

"The AFO limited group's activities will only last for one year. During this year, I will participate in idol activities to a minimum and put more energy into music creation..."

He didn't care whether he continued to work in the AFO group or not...

However, quitting the group without any reason would be a betrayal and harm to the fans who have supported Xia Fan wholeheartedly from his trainee period to his debut.

In addition to being unwilling to do so morally, Xia Fan also had more practical considerations...

After the "Idol Birth Festival" program stopped broadcasting, he did not have any new music or video "works" appearing. The faith value brought by the previous songs and programs entered a period of weak growth due to the "faith diminishing effect".

However, the number of weekly visits by "Midsummer Shrine believers" has been rising steadily, exceeding 13500 times this week, converting a full 13500 faith points.

Thanks to this stable source of faith that will not decrease, Xia Fan's cumulative faith value has steadily exceeded the 170,000 mark.

Even if he only considered it from the perspective of gaining faith, he would not quit this short-lived one-year group with such capricious reasons as "personal reasons" and rashly destroy the steadily growing faith.

"Mr. Xia, you care so much about your fans, it's really admirable..." Hoshina Hanami, who didn't know the truth, had already clasped her hands in front of her chest and looked at Xia Fan with admiration in her eyes.

"With Xia Jun's talent, he is indeed qualified to be a playboy... If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have rushed into it and participated in an idol audition..."

Tachibana Ryoko, who has been working in the industry for many years, could only smile helplessly.

The things that others are fighting for desperately are tasteless to Xia Fan and would be a pity to throw away. This is the gap between people.

"But don't worry, Section Chief Yamazaki. I promise I won't delay the creation of music..."

Noticing the disappointment in Yamazaki Hiroshi's eyes, Xia Fan quickly patted his chest and made a promise.

"Ahem, I came here today because I'm also preparing a new song..."

He cleared his throat and spoke mysteriously.

"New, new song?!"

"Xia Jun, you are not lying to me, are you? You are so busy participating in idol auditions, singing and dancing rap, and you actually have time to write a new song?!"

These two words are more useful than the little blue pill and instantly bring Hiroshi Yamazaki back to full health.

"Of course, this is a song I created during my 'treatment observation period' based on my insights and inspiration from participating in the idol audition..."

"So, just like how Master Kishimoto took inspiration from the red-light district, idol activities will not only not affect my songwriting efficiency, but will also become a source of inspiration for my music!"

In order to completely dispel Yamazaki Hiroshi's doubts, Xia Fan, as a "straightforward boy", had to start learning from Kishimoto Yoshihiro and start bluffing.

"The inspiration for the idol audition... then, what kind of song is it?"

"This is a song..."

"Wait a minute, don't say anything yet, I'll go get the notebook and the information, quickly, right away!"

Just when Xia Fan was about to give up his story, Yamazaki Hiroshi ran to his office.

"Xia Fan, you have new works so soon? You are too productive..."

When Xia Fan sat down on the sofa, Xing Ming Hua Jian sighed to him softly.

For the young and powerful ace music producers of several major companies, if they can release a song in a quarter, it is considered very productive.

It is not uncommon for a retired "music master" like Yoshihiro Kishimoto not to produce a single work for several years.

Xia Fan, this "genius musician", has produced an average of one hit song every month since he entered the industry. His efficiency cannot be described by the word "talented", but can be called a "monster".

"Ahaha, it's not that fast... It's just some scattered inspiration. I haven't even composed the music, written the lyrics, or recorded the demo..."

"If Section Chief Yamazaki hadn't pressed me too hard, I wouldn't have said it..."

Xia Fan waved his hands and whispered the truth.

He did have a song called "Fireworks" in his mind that he hadn't released yet, but he was so busy with his work that he hadn't had time to produce the song...

If we use the words of Amagami, this unwritten song can only be regarded as "a song from the other world that does not exist in this world."

"By the way, you guys were here to talk to Section Chief Yamazaki about work, so I disturbed you?"

Recalling the scene where Yamazaki Hiroshi and Tachibana Ryoko were inseparable when they got out of the elevator, Xia Fan asked curiously.
