After bankruptcy, I was invited by Chihaya Aine to join mygo

Xiangzi handed him the phone for him to check, but he didn't pick it up immediately.

"By the way, have you met your father?" Mikami Yu asked about something else.

After talking with Wakaba Mu, he felt that he still had some information he needed to know about Xiangzi's identity.

And in this kind of matter, it is most reasonable to ask Xiangzi. After all, she is the person involved.

But Xiangzi seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, thinking that he meant that his father had no debts, so she wondered if she had already told her father the news to cheer him up.

Naturally, the news that he was no longer in debt had greatly encouraged Xiangzi.

Otherwise, she probably initially hoped that her father would cheer up and that she could handle the debt. But debt will eventually crush a person.

Hearing Mikami Yuu's question, the blue-haired little octopus shook his head and sighed, "I went back a while ago, and my father wasn't home. The house was full of bottles of wine. He had secretly gone to buy some wine, and then I received a call from the police station."

"It was around four o'clock in the afternoon, an hour before I came back. Father..." Xiangzi pressed his right elbow with his left hand, seeming helpless and painful, "He was taken to the police station again. Because he violated the bail supervision last week, he will be detained for two weeks this time, and he can only be released on bail after 14 days." Xiangzi said.

Her voice was obviously very sweet, but now it sounded a little dry, or rather, no one could calmly tell others that their father was hopeless.

In other words, Xiangzi was originally in a good mood, but because his father bought alcohol and drank too much and was put in jail, Xiangzi was temporarily unable to contact his father.

Then there is no way to appease my father.

Mikami Yu already understood that although his family had fallen on hard times and lived in such a small rental house, he could even buy rice balls from Gugugumi, which meant that Xiangzi did not have such high demands for material economy, as long as he could survive.

So maybe her goal is to hope that her father will cheer up.

but.

Her father probably won't cheer up, so her enthusiasm will only be defeated.

After all, Xiang Dad himself knows best whether he is in debt or not, but he still buys alcohol and drinks, and even has money to buy expensive alcohol, so it is not a matter of whether he can easily cheer up or not.

And the Wakaba family is also involved, so things are not that simple.

So when Xiangzi saw his father again and told him that he could make a comeback since he had no debts, Xiang's father still would not cheer up.

So all that will be left for Xiangzi then is disappointment.

So here's the bad news, is there any good news?

some.

That is, Xiang's father is in jail, so Xiangzi will not feel bad for 14 days, and during this process, she can devote herself to making money with him.

Although money cannot solve all problems, it is absolutely impossible to live without it.

Even if Xiangzi wanted to fight a protracted war and wait for his father to recover, he would have money as a backing and could save a lot of effort.

Similarly, Yu Mikami finally found an all-round collaborator who can sing, compose, play the piano, and is dedicated to his career and shares the same ideals as him. He doesn't want this collaborator to run away so easily.

So, after putting the things he bought in the kitchen, Yu Mikami opened his notebook and uploaded the version of Senbonzakura played by two people with both hands that RiNG had recorded to his account.

Then he checked the video of Xiangzi's solo performance.

She was probably not very good at filming, so she showed her face in the first step, but her original request was not to show her face, so Mikami Yu opened the editing software again, removed this part, and then uploaded the video of Xiangzi playing alone.

then.

The two checked the backstage information together.

They only have a YouTube account and have not registered on SNS yet, but the number of followers on YouTube has reached 121.2 million, and in the latest followers column, we can also see the official certified account of the band Poppin'Party.

In other words, we have the support of this band.

As a pioneer of girl bands, Poppin'Party also has a large fan base, with 680 million followers on YouTube. So if their fans noticed that the Poppin'Party account followed [Youjun and ob a string of letters lady], then [Youjun and ob a string of letters lady] would naturally benefit from the traffic.

When I opened Poppin'Party's official account, I found that they uploaded a video of RiNG's live performance this afternoon.

They also recorded parts of mygo!'s Kasuga and Yuu Mikami's "First Love." The description below the video mentions the band mygo!, as well as Yuu Mikami and Shoko's accounts.

As expected of a pioneering band, they are really starting to deliver traffic.

but.

Now they are not the only band following them, a commercial band called DISRUPTION is also following them. Although they haven't sent a private message to them yet, they should have some ideas.

Because in White Ablum's video, there was an order for someone to pay to help promote the video.

The person who helped promote the trend was the commercial band DISRUPTION.

However, the number of hits on White Ablum sung by Xiangzi has reached 390 million.

For this song, popularity is no longer necessary, long-term accumulation is enough.

So what DISRUPTION did was just icing on the cake and it was not the timely help that Ms. Triangle had given in the beginning.

So Yu Mikami and Xiangzi continued to look down, and what caught their attention was the information in the background.

"Can an account with 100 million fans get a medal?" Xiangzi noticed the message sent by Pingtai asking him to fill in his address and then send the medal.

"Yeah." Mikami Yuu nodded. "This is a testament to our strength, proving our collaboration was a good one. And when we get the one million follower medal, we can use it as an excuse to release a new song to celebrate."

"Then I can come up with a topic in advance, let the fans choose the style of music, and then I will compose the music."

"This is used to create hype. It saves a lot of money." said Yu Mikami.

“…”Xiangzi.

Xiangzi opened her lips slightly, as if she was a little shocked. But she quickly relaxed. Because the Mikami-kun she knew was indeed this type.

So you really have a lot of songs.

Others are afraid of becoming successful overnight and then running out of ideas, but you are different. It's like you have a lot of repertoires and you are looking for opportunities to upload them.

You know, a mature band can hardly release a new song in three months, sometimes even just one song a year. And if it's a high-quality, well-known song, it's even harder to perform it over and over again. The reason for this is that it's very difficult to produce such a good song again.

Turns out he was different.

Even though they had come up with a song like "First Love" which was very likely to spread across the country and even across borders, they were still very confident about the result.

But if I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't have quit Senbonzakura.

Xiangzi was relieved very quickly, and even the call he received from the police station more than an hour ago saying that his father was in jail again, made him feel relieved.

“…” Mikami Yuu.

It seems that seeing Xiangzi's smiling face makes people feel happier, so I say.

There was nothing wrong with his partner, except that her charm was a bit too high. Like a succubus, it was easy for others to get close to her and be attracted by her.

Thinking of this, Mikami-kun felt that he should stay away from Xiangzi, otherwise he would not be able to work with all his strength.

But I was also worried that doing so would be too obvious, like I was deliberately avoiding her, which was not good.

So he remained still and continued to browse the background information on the computer, selecting the valuable parts.

"But there are too many advertisements." Xiangzi took her mobile phone and opened the memo, which contained some of her records.

"But there's no good option right now. And the categories are quite diverse, ranging from food to music instruments. Many ads offer to send items, and then ask us to get the items if we reach a certain number of views."

"As for the compensation, it's not very high at the moment. There are probably three companies that are really interested. The one with the best offer is a portable piano. The advertiser is Roland, and the model they want to promote is the VR-730, a new stage keyboard that combines the sounds of piano, organ, and synthesizer into a single device. With its intuitive user interface, it's mainly aimed at keyboard players who are often on stage and need quick access to sounds and effects. The price is about 22 to 25 yen."

"But the reward is only 10 yen. And the requirement is to play at least three pieces in a row on his piano. But the time is very flexible, and I'm given six months."

It is indeed a bit stingy to expect a UP with millions of followers to do three advertisements for only 100,000 yen.

But getting a piano for free is also a good option.

At least, Xiangzi doesn't have a piano, so if the piano given as a gift is good, then maybe he can accept it as a gift for Xiangzi.

Also, why does she know so much about this model?

Yu Mikami thought of the video of Crychic's practice room that Suyo had shown him before, in which Xiangzi was responsible for the keyboard, so is it possible that she also used this model when she participated in Crychic before?

"And then there were also some agencies that sent private messages," Xiangzi said, looking at the memo. "I screened them on the way back, and it looks like there are two agencies interested in working with us. One is small, and the other is quite well-known. They've also invested in driving traffic to your song 'First Love.' They'd like us to let them manage White Ablum and First Love, and they'll give us a 55/ split at best."

"Their argument is that if we want a 73:500 ratio, we have to wait until we reach 500 million followers. And before that, our songs will only be distributed at a 55: ratio," Xiangzi said. "Their advantage is that they have more channels and can secure television opportunities."

"We don't need to think about it." But Yu Mikami rejected this.

He has a lot of songs, so there is no need to hand them over to others. Now that their account has exceeded 100 million fans, what they can do is find an agency to continue marketing and contact record companies to go through the procedures. However, this will require giving up 50% of the profits, which is obviously not cost-effective.

Besides, is it that difficult to reach 500 million fans? We have only just scratched the surface of this. I'm afraid that once that car music song is released, we will soon reach 500 million fans.

And once you sign a contract, you're bound by it. That's what we say now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

I'm afraid you'll have to offer huge benefits to cancel the signed agreement.

"Well, I didn't agree either," Xiangzi said. "You already said it would be best if we set up our own agency."

"And Senbonzakura can't just be distributed in such a proportion. I have a feeling it's going to explode."

"Look."

Xiangzi said, "Both versions of Senbonzakura have been uploaded in less than half an hour. This time, we didn't buy any traffic and no one has invested in it yet, but the increase in clicks is very high."

Half an hour later, the views of one video reached 20 and the other 24, which was truly astonishing. And the growth rate was still increasing.

You have to know that they only have 120 million fans, but to have this number in such a short period of time shows that the fans are extremely loyal.

This is a good thing.

“This is a good sign.”

Xiangzi continued, "I think that in addition to two-handed and solo performances, we can also introduce performances of individual instruments in a few days, or even performances of non-instrumental instruments."

"Of course, subsequent performances will not be recorded on our account, but we can set this as a precedent and allow other bands or musicians to shoot their own videos."

In other words, we want to wait for Senbonzakura to become popular, and then broadcast it on YouTube to increase its reach.

According to the copyright rules of this world, anyone who quotes this song in any commercial activity must pay the author.

So they can also share the income that others get.

It’s also free marketing.

This is a win-win situation for both sides.

Yu Mikami wanted to use the 100 million medal to increase the popularity of his account for free. The songs had to be released anyway, so it was just an excuse. But Xiangzi wanted to get the medal for free and still get money from others.

I have to say that Shoko Toyokawa does have a talent for business.

So, isn't this just giving her a stage to take off directly? I always feel that if he hadn't pulled her over first, then as long as she was given time, she would also be able to make a career.

But now, she belongs on his side.
