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

Chapter 394 Let’s shoot a music video

"Well, is there anything else I didn't explain?"

After carefully explaining his understanding, Xia Fan, who was thirsty, took a sip of water.

"The demonstration was very detailed, and I understood it all... But, but, Xia Jun..."

"This song will definitely do well... You're a debut artist now, so why don't you release it yourself?"

Xing Ming Hanami hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask.

There is no doubt that the song "Fireworks" is a golden song that anyone can sing with great success.

Judging from the demonstration and backing recording just now, Xia Fan, as the creator, is better than her in terms of understanding, singing skills and emotions of the song.

As a newly debuted idol, there are also many "anti-fans" on the Internet, who have been suppressing Xia Fan by saying that he "has no representative works"...

If Xia Fan releases this song for the first time under his personal name, not only will his popularity increase further, but it will also be the best response to these doubts.

"I'm releasing this song myself? That's right. I'm an idol now after all..."

"Then, let Hanami sing the female solo version first, and then I will authorize myself to sing a male version later."

After she reminded him, Xia Fan realized that he was now at least a "front-stage artist" who could release songs, and he made the decision happily.

Originally, his original intention of becoming a debut artist was to earn both the reputation as a "singer" and a "creator" and to monopolize the royalties from both.

"Is that so? I'll post the female version, and Xia Jun will post the male version. This is really the best of both worlds..."

Xia Fan's suggestion made Xing Ming Hanami smile.

It is very common to create different versions of a song and license them separately, trying to "kill two birds with one stone".

As a songwriter and a new idol under the Burning Series, Xia Fan has the power to do so in every sense.

It is precisely because of a series of advantages such as one-man team, self-authorization, and exclusive royalties that the status of "singer-songwriters" in the entertainment industry has always been quite high.

“Well, then…”

As if she had thought of something, Xing Ming Hanami hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head with a red face.

"Didn't Xia Jun say before that... the first version of this song... was a duet between a man and a woman?"

She didn't dare to look into Xia Fan's eyes. She just lowered her head and spoke in a mosquito-like voice.

"If there is a chance later, can we release a duet together?"

After thinking for a while, she suppressed her strong shyness and asked with a trembling voice, trying her best.

"I, I don't have any other intentions. I just thought that since everyone has sent out their solos, wouldn't it be a shame not to send out the chorus..."

The previous sentence seemed to have drained away all the courage in Hoshina Hanami, making her subsequent defense weak and powerless.

"Shall we... sing a duet together?"

"Yeah, I was fooled. Why didn't I think of that?"

Xia Fan's expression froze for a moment, then he slapped the back of his head.

It’s actually been a while since I got the song “Fireworks”.

In addition to being delayed by a series of things such as recording the "Idol Birth Festival", beating up cultists, and expelling evil gods, the "uniqueness" of the song itself is also one of the reasons why he has not submitted it to the music club...

The original version of this song is a duet of a man and a woman, and it is also the version with the best performance and the most consistent with the core of the song, which means that we must find two suitable male and female singers...

In addition, this song was specially created as a theme song for an animated film on Blue Star. Although the animated film did not receive as good reviews as the song itself after its release... it was precisely because of the animation's plot, characters, and emotions that the audience was able to understand more clearly and concretely the song's symbolic lyrics and complex and delicate emotions.

This perfect fusion and mutual complementation of song and animation is even considered a whole "new art form", and is the key to this song's fame.

But at present, the release basis of this song does not have these complete elements, and the market feedback after its release is unlikely to reach the height of this song on Blue Star.

"This song is best with a chorus, so of course we have to release a chorus version!"

"In addition to releasing a duet version, why don't we just shoot a music video together?"

He excitedly grabbed Hoshina Hanami's wrist and invited her enthusiastically.

Although it is not possible to shoot an animation for a song, if we can shoot an MV that is very consistent with the content of the animation, it should be able to achieve the same effect in terms of visual and emotional conception.

"Me... Xia Jun and I... shoot... MV?"

Facing Xia Fan's beautiful face so close to her and feeling the warmth coming from the skin contact, Xing Ming Hana's brain suddenly went blank.

This invitation to cooperate without any warning was like a brilliant firework rising in Hoshina Hanami's mind...

"So, in addition to singing in the chorus, we also have to play...male, female, and male...leading roles?"

"Maybe there will be... this... that... this... that... rivalry?"

In the girl's pure heart, countless ambiguous, beautiful, sweet and intense fantasy scenes bloom.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I was too abrupt. This kind of cooperation should also be decided by the internal decision-making of both companies..."

Realizing that he had spoken too hastily and made an overly abrupt proposal for cooperation, Xia Fan quickly let go of the other person's hand.

The release of each new song involves a series of complicated matters such as production, promotion, announcements, platform contracts, and considerable investment in funds and manpower costs. For any agency, it is a major commercial project that requires careful decision-making and repeated calculation of investment returns.

Hoshina Hanami, as the newcomer promoted by Ryo Tachibana's company this year, her image positioning and development path were planned early on...

This kind of girl idol singer is extremely cautious about collaborating with male artists, as they may lose fans if they are not careful.

"No!"

"I want to collaborate with Xia Jun to release a song! I'll go and convince President Tachibana!"

But the next second, Hoshina Hanami's eyes were full of determination and she agreed loudly.

"Well, there's no need to decide so quickly. I also need to report to the AFO Group..."

Suddenly remembering that he still had a contract with a limited group, Xia Fan became timid.

"… We've made an appointment, so I probably won't regret it!"

But the girl's slender, white little finger had already been extended to him impatiently.

"Okay, we've made an appointment. Let's collaborate on a song..."

Xia Fan smiled slightly, and decisively stretched out his little finger to hook the soft finger in front of him.

If AFO doesn't agree, the worst that can happen is that I wait a year and release the duet version after I quit the group.

"I will definitely practice this song desperately and won't let you down, Xia Fan!"

She shyly withdrew her little finger, and Xing Minghana's heart was filled with fighting spirit, and her eyes were bright.
