Girl band, because of the shining heart

"No need. You're a girl, so it's better for you to stay at home. It's fine for me to go home alone."

Shaking her head, Kunou Chixiao rejected her and left the kimono shop alone.

"He left. Well, I have to hurry and prepare to make clothes."

The energetic and confident Toruko Kiritani looked at Chisato Kunou's back, smiled, then returned to the studio and began to prepare for production.

Then the next day, because she stayed up late the night before, Toruko Kiritani was successfully late and was made to stand in the corridor as punishment.

"Oh, I didn't expect that when I was making clothes for Qianxiao, it was already the next morning when I came to my senses. What a mistake."

After class, the petite girl from the next class heard a slightly familiar voice and looked at the girl who was standing in the corridor after being punished.

"Futaba-san, what's wrong?"

"Huh? No, nothing."

Some of the classmates on the side looked at the petite girl Futaba Tsukushi and asked this question. After Futaba Tsukushi turned around and said this, they saw that Kiritani Toruko had returned to her own class.

Chapter 176: Replace the office's PP.

Inside the Pastel*Palettes studio on Monday.

"Well, what are you doing here today, Qian Xiao?"

In the practice room, Wakamiya Eve, who had just finished contacting, looked at her teammates around her with some confusion, wanting to know what had happened.

“As for this, even I am not sure.”

Bai Lu Qiansheng was also a little confused. It was the first time she saw Jiu Zhong Qianxiao have an angry expression on his face, and there was a professional lady in a suit following behind him.

Now it seems that I didn't come to the office today to guide them in practice.

"Ahahaha, why don't you just ask the person in question directly later?"

Instead, when Yamato Maya spoke, everyone was stunned.

Indeed, instead of guessing here and not being able to guess the correct answer, why not ask them directly? And given the relationship between me and them, I will probably tell them directly if I ask them.

But I'm still curious about what happened.

And in the conference room on the other side.

"Um, are you really going to do this?"

"It turns out that your plan for the band is too makeshift. If it weren't for their own efforts, I think your plan would have failed on the first day, right?"

The Xingluo band had faced this kind of doubts before, but they proved with their strength that such doubts were completely nonsense. After all, who can do splits in the air and backflips with bare hands on stage without any change in breath?

But the plan of this idol girl band is different, because except for the drummer and guitarist, they have no performance experience, not to mention that when they first debuted and performed in front of tens of thousands of people, the instruments were not plugged in at all.

If Jiuzhong Qianxiao had not intervened and taught them how to perform at least two songs, this project might have been disbanded during the first performance because of lip-syncing.

After all, there is no tolerance for lip-syncing in Neon Tokyo. Especially for the second performance, it was only because of the little help from the Death Song Group behind the scenes, and the hard work of Shirahime Chisei herself that they seized this opportunity.

This gave them the green light and allowed them to get the chance to perform a second time, otherwise the project would have completely collapsed.

In particular, during the second performance, it was Bai Lu Qiansheng who found the opportunity herself, and after working hard for a long time, the Si Zou Group was willing to provide a little help, so that they could go on stage to perform without having to get anything.

This is enough to show how rudimentary this firm is.

So after the second concert ended, Jiuchong Qianxiao immediately brought his people here.

Originally it could have been done before the second performance, but considering the outside rumors, we finally decided to do it after the second performance.

In this way, they can say that the problems with the first performance were due to the agency's requirements, and the second performance was due to their own efforts. Jiuzhong Qianxiao's agency signed them because they saw the girls' efforts and there was a promising future for them.

After all, the second performance was well received and seen by all the paying audiences. It was clear that they were indeed talented, so it was natural that they were poached. Not to mention that the internet is now filled with condemnations of the agency's poor handling of the first performance and praise for the girls' own efforts.

In response to the other party's questions, Jiuchong Qianxiao remained silent and looked out the window quietly, leaving the rest of the matters to his assistant.

The most important thing is that he has no intention of communicating with this group of people.

"This is the contract we have prepared. We have already calculated the price. This figure is equivalent to your firm's revenue for half a year. If it is okay with you, please sign it."

The assistant handed over a contract in his hand, motioned for them to take a look, and also explained the specific algorithm for the specific source of the number.

It is calculated based on the value and role of each person in the band, the impact on the band as a whole, the various problems in the agency, the previous bad work and some activities of subsequent planning.

The detailed figures made the people on the other side wipe the sweat from their heads. They could never have imagined that the figures could be so accurate.

"...Okay, let's sign."

After hesitating for a while, the other party finally signed.

"Ok."

After handling this matter, the assistant started to contact for the transfer.

After confirming the funds had arrived, Pastel*Palettes became this firm and officially moved to another firm.

As for whether or not to talk to Shirasagi Chisei's original agency and the company where Wakamiya Eve Model works.

Totally unnecessary.

Because the two people's original company had some investment from the Dead Group, since the investor has spoken, the company will certainly not have any objections, not to mention that it is the investment from the Dead Group.

This is also the reason why the Sizou Group provided a little help to Bailu Qiansheng, but there was no major disturbance in the outside world.

After all, from the outside world's perspective, wasn't it the agency behind Bai Lu Qiansheng that helped for the sake of Bai Lu Qiansheng's reputation as a child star?

At least that's what happens on the surface, but behind the scenes, many things can't be said out loud, and the fish in Tokyo Bay are not so good at catching fish.

So after confirming everything, Jiuzhong Qianxiao stood up and left the meeting room. The assistant also stood up and followed him after packing up her things.

Finally, I walked into the practice room of the agency.

"Girls, let's take a break from practicing, okay?"

Also coming in with Kunou Chisato and the assistant was the person in charge of the agency's idol girl band planning.

When they saw the person in charge coming over, everyone who was practicing stopped.

"Ahem, well, you won't be working in this office anymore."

"Hey? Are we going to disband then?"

The first person to react after hearing this was Maruyama Aya. She looked at the person in charge with some panic.

"Let me explain."

The assistant walked forward and drew their attention to herself with her serious voice.

"The band Pastel*Palettes, which consists of five people, is no longer part of this agency, but a band of NFF Agency. Please follow me to the new agency."

“Huh?!”×5.

In response to the assistant's words, everyone showed an incredible expression, and then looked at the person in charge at the same time. After the other person nodded, they looked at another person present, Jiu Zhong Qian Xiao, who had not spoken yet.

Because how could it be possible that the assistant lady herself did not come for them, so if you have to say it, it could only be Jiuzhong Qianxiao's intention.

But he still didn't speak.

"NFF Agency? I remember it was the agency that signed the Xingluo band and is currently only providing services to the Xingluo band, right?"

After recalling for a while, Maya Yamato said this with some confusion, because after having a top band like Starfall under its name, although the agency also signed many other bands, most of the time it was providing services to Starfall.

"It's exactly as you said, but the agency has also signed other bands, and the other bands under its name are still enjoying normal services and resources. The agency is not only serving the Xingluo band, but the Xingluo band has the highest priority."

The assistant looked at Maya Yamato and explained this to her in a formal tone.

"Also, I know you all have a lot of questions, but please come with me to the NFF office, and someone will come to explain this to you later. Also, this is a signed contract."

After seeing the assistant take out the contract, Bai Lu Qiansheng read it in detail before nodding to them.

So several people came downstairs of the office together with doubts.

Chapter 177 Eve: I have met Qianxiao’s mother.

And downstairs in the office, two special cars were already waiting.

Chisato Kunou and her assistant, Hina Hikawa and Chisei Shirasagi were in one car, while Aya Maruyama, Maya Yamato and Eve Wakamiya were in another. After the assistant started the car in front, the driver started the car and followed.

There was little communication between the people in the two cars along the way.

Bai Lu Qiansheng is contacting his agency to confirm whether his agency is aware of his change of agency.

Hikawa Hina who was sitting next to her was not worried about it at all. Although she had indeed integrated into the band now, she had no interest in that agency. To her, as long as she still formed a band with the people around her, that agency didn't matter to her.

Also in the car behind, the only one who was a little worried was Aya Maruyama, as her idol career had just started. If she changed agencies now, there might be something wrong. However, out of trust in Chisato Kunou, she did not ask.

Wakamiya Eve in the back row was also contacting her modeling agency to confirm whether they also knew about this. Of course, it was Shirahime Chisei who told her to confirm with her agency first, otherwise, based on her personality, she might not even think about this.

Maya Yamato was looking at the interior of the car with some curiosity. It seemed to be a new car that had just been launched on the market. She had almost never seen some of the innovative aspects before, so she wanted to take this opportunity to take a look at these more novel designs.

So the silence was maintained in both cars until they arrived at NFF's office.

"The office is located on the second floor of this building. The first floor is a cafe for rest, the second floor is the office, the third floor is the practice room you will use later, and the fourth floor is where the equipment is stored."

A four-story stand-alone building is the location of the NFF office. The assistant introduced the layout of the building to them.

Then he took them on a tour of the office.

how to say?

It was terribly large. There were five practice rooms on the third floor, which included a lounge and a recording studio. The equipment inside was so huge that Yamato Maya was completely unable to walk after just one look at it.

Every piece of equipment was the best available on the market, and some of them were things she had never seen before.

Compared to their previous practice rooms, they were ridiculously large, and there were five such practice rooms in total.

Of course, there is also a largest practice room, and the assistant also took them to visit it. The scale of that practice room is much larger than the practice rooms they visited before. There are probably three such practice rooms to make up the size of that large practice room.

But that practice room was not for them, but was a special practice room for the Starfall Band.

The sound insulation effect is perfect, this is a professional firm.

After the final tour, we were in the office's meeting room on the second floor.

"Excuse me, Miss Assistant, why would NFF Agency sign a band like us that had such a poor experience of lip-syncing in the first performance? Your company already has top bands like Xingluo, and other bands under its name are also quite famous bands, why did you choose to sign us?"

After taking a look at the surprised expressions of the band members around him, and finally taking a look at his band's nominal captain, Maruyama Aya, who also looked as if she hadn't recovered for a long time, Bai Lu Qiansheng asked this question.

"NFF was established to assist the band Starfall with everything other than music, including the promotion, production and sale of albums, invitations to participate in some events, concert ticket sales, and band travel."

"So strictly speaking, we don't own Starfall. NFF was originally established to handle these matters, and this building was bought at that time. Later, for some reasons, NFF officially became an agency and signed other bands. Before that, NFF only served Starfall."

"And the NFF firm is essentially part of the Death Song Group. In this case, Miss Bailu Qiansheng, do you understand?"

As the assistant spoke, she used a projector to show them information about the NFF agency.

"Death Group?"

"Is it Aunt Lianyin?"

Just when Bai Lu Qiansheng was thinking about the relationship between the Death Group and the Starfall Band, Wakamiya Eve spoke and looked at her with some confusion.

"What do you mean Miss Wakamiya Eve?"

"Um, Auntie Reine Shikanade."

Wakamiya Eve blinked and said the name and title with an innocent smile, and the assistant sitting opposite her was already sweating profusely.

The assistant initially thought of Kunou Reine, after all, the boss currently dealing with the office is Kunou Reine, but she didn't expect that Wakamiya Eve was talking about the current head of the Shikuzou family, Shikuzou Reine.

I was really sweating now.

She was originally wondering why her young master wanted this band. Now, it seems that it’s not just her young master’s reason, but also her wife’s idea.

Is this something that a small assistant like her can get involved in?

Or, is this really something that a small assistant like her could hear?

"Eve, who is the dead aunt Reine you are talking about?"

The smile on Bailu Qiansheng's face was slightly stiff as he looked at Wakamiya Eve who had a naive smile on her face. Even Hikawa Hina's smile on the side was restrained and she looked over here silently.

"She's Qianxiao's mother. She's a very good aunt."

She smiled gently, her eyes full of memories and joy.
