How come the music girl has super powers?

"Toyokawa-san seems very interested in the meaning of this song. Is it because... you are also bound?"

Xiangzi's pupils trembled, and he instantly recalled his current experience.

My father was kicked out of the house by my grandfather because of his mistakes that caused the family business to lose 168 billion.

Unable to abandon the father who had grown up with him, he resolutely chose to sever ties with the Toyokawa family.

She originally thought that her father would cheer up with her company, but unexpectedly he indulged in depravity and just drank every day to relieve his sorrow.

Now I not only have to complete my studies, but also earn money to support my family and take care of my decadent father...

Isn’t this a kind of bondage?

Is this really the life I expected?

Seeing Xiangzi's increasingly furrowed brows and gradually determined eyes, Yingliang did not stay for long, for fear of passively triggering the other party's "breath" and making him say "You are so arrogant" to her.

……

After school.

Sakura and the others did not go to the recording studio for training, but went directly to the headquarters of [Win-Wing Production].

Ms. Kawashima had already invited Sakura on the day of the joint performance, but the corresponding contract was not drafted until today.

Under the arrangement of the staff, the four people came to a conference room to wait.

An and Subaru were a little excited, "Hey, hey, this is too fast, right? We've been forming the band for a month?"

"I don't think so."

Rupa said with a smile.

Even if we count from the time when Li Xi first started, the band was not officially founded until early May.

It's not even May yet, so it's impossible for it to be just a month.

"Is that too exaggerated?"

An and Subaru have a headache.

She never expected that the progress would be faster than expected.

Once the contract is signed, there will definitely be a big screen at the concert.

The main reason is that I haven’t told my grandma yet that I’m not going to be an actor and am going to form a band.

If one day the other party happens to see me...

"Miss Anhe, are you not ready yet?"

RUPA saw what was happening to An and Subaru.

An and Subaru did not deny it. There was no point in hiding it any longer.

She immediately made public the fact that her grandmother was very eager for her to inherit her career, but she was secretly forming a band.

Rupa and Satoshi were shocked, but Sakura was indifferent, obviously having known about it for a long time.

Rupa was puzzled. "This is indeed a difficult problem. What does Miss Anhe plan to do?"

Xiaozhi wanted to know the answer more than Rupa who asked the question.

Although she likes the "Detective Grandma" very much, she doesn't want to see her sad.

But when compared with the dreams of herself and her friends, and Sakura's efforts, she would choose the latter without hesitation.

Facing the two people's expectant eyes, An He Subaru sighed, "I definitely plan to stay. After all, when I joined the band, I decided to go on with Liang... ahem, everyone."

Xiaozhi frowned slightly and stared at An and Subaru suspiciously, "Wait, were you going to say something outrageous just now?"

An and Subaru responded with a rather energetic and cute smile, holding their faces with both hands and acting coquettishly, "Hey~ What is Xiaozhi talking about?"

"Even more suspicious."

Xiaozhi complained without mercy.

An Hesuba's smile suddenly became stiff.

Just then, Miss Kawashima came in and interrupted the conversation.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Ms. Kawashima didn't waste any time and directly distributed five identical contracts to them.

While Ms. Kawashima was explaining the general matters, Sakura looked through the contract contents curiously.

A few important points:

In the first four months, at least four high-quality songs can be produced every month, and the creative direction must meet the needs of the agency.

You have to carry out various schedules arranged by the agency, such as concerts, press conferences, special variety shows, etc.

The fixed monthly salary is 25 yen per person.

Each instrumentalist can take 1% of all income from peripherals, albums, and concerts, and the lead singer, composer, and lyricist can each take an additional 1%.

Yingliang calculated that the four of them could only take less than one-tenth of the income...

Since it was the first time he saw the contract, he didn't know whether it was reasonable or not.

……

Chapter 54 Negotiations broke down.

"RUPA, how about this contract?"

Sakura leaned close to Rupa's ear and whispered using her hand as a shield.

Rupa also covered his mouth with his hands as he answered, "It's just an ordinary contract, signed for those bands that are not very popular but will not be forgotten soon."

"..."

I feel like I'm being looked down upon.

Sakura complained to herself.

"...Then there are the subsequent itinerary arrangements. First..."

"Wait a mininute."

Sakura interrupted Miss Kawashima.

"can I help you?"

Miss Kawashima pushed her glasses up and looked at Sakura seriously.

"I would like to ask, who drafted the contents of this contract?"

"This is the first draft prepared by our office's administrative department based on current market conditions. Is there anything that doesn't suit your taste?"

"Have you seen it before you came here?"

"Of course I reviewed it."

"So you gave it to us because you thought it was okay?"

Sakura's tone grew colder.

Miss Kawashima gradually realized that something was wrong.

"If you feel there are any problems with the contract, Mr. Ying can point them out. Our firm will consider whether to adopt it after considering the various indicators and requirements."

"Forget it, it's boring."

Yingliang put down the contract to show his attitude.

The other party has seen his own achievements. He does not deny that Junta Mana has her own traffic, but the success of that video is mostly due to his own work, right?

Since the band was founded, which song has not caused discussion? Now giving them an ordinary contract, aren't they trying to fool themselves by taking advantage of their young age?

Besides, the creative direction has to conform to the needs of the agency, isn’t that a disguised restriction on myself?

I have a lot of classic songs that I want to cover based on my personal preferences.

At this moment, all eyes in the conference room were focused on Sakura's face. Some were puzzled, some admired, and some were surprised. Miss Kawashima frowned.

"Mr. Sakura, what do you mean?"

"Isn't it obvious? There's no sincerity, so the talks are broken."

Yingliang is not afraid of offending others and speaks boldly.

"Are you dissatisfied with the contract?"

"You know better than me what I'm dissatisfied with. The income alone isn't what I'd like, and you're even restricting my creative direction."

Ms. Kawashima seemed to have anticipated this and calmly explained, "This is just a first draft. If you're not satisfied, we can discuss it. Mr. Sakura, there's no need to be so anxious."

Yingliang waved his hand dismissively. "You spent days drafting this contract, and in the end, you only get mediocre compensation. You're only discussing it now. Why didn't you negotiate it today?"

His words completely ended the conversation.

The agency's original intention was to give her an ordinary contract. If Sakura was young and didn't know much about the business, she would make a lot of money if she signed it.

If Sakura is a little knowledgeable, the firm will make a contract that satisfies her as much as possible according to Sakura's requirements, so that the other party can see their sincerity and feel grateful.

Who would have thought that Yingliang would act first and ask for your permission later, saying that if you didn't offer the best contract at the beginning, it would mean you were not sincere.

……

The scene changes.

The people who broke up the talks left the office in a swagger, ignoring Miss Kawashima's attempts to keep them, and went to a nearby cafe.

An Hesuba took a sip of juice to recover his composure and asked, "What should we do now? That firm seems pretty powerful. Will we be blacklisted if we just ignore them like that?"

"That's indeed a possibility."

Rupa agreed with this statement, but there was no trace of pressure on his smiling face.

She always believed that with Yingliang's talent, she would definitely be able to find a better way out.

Xiaozhi complained even more angrily, "Blacklist is blacklist. An agency that uses contracts to restrict the direction of creators is not worth staying with."

In the past, when she and RUPA sparked discussions on the Internet under the name "Red Ginger", they were also noticed by many agencies.

But every time we talk in detail, I find that the firm's plans are always inconsistent with my ideals.

Most of them just stick to what's popular at the moment, which blocks the creative space for the two of them.

Seeing that no one cared, An and Subaru breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that the other two would be dissatisfied with Yingliang's decision. After all, Yingliang did not discuss it with anyone else when she refused the contract.

"Rest for a while and then go to training. We have a 'Live' in Shinjuku this weekend."

Sakura reminded, looking at her phone.

This sense of relaxation gave everyone a sense of reassurance.

……

night.

After returning to the rental house, Sakura immediately blocked and deleted the contact information of Miss Kawashima and her agency.

After all this publicity, someone else took the initiative to invite me to sign a contract. I thought I would get some generous treatment, but in the end I feel like I was fooled...

“Give me back my expectations!”

Lying on the bed, Yingliang complained harshly while pressing down on the pillow.

If Yao Bai didn't know who specifically designated the contract, he really wanted to send Ghost to give that guy a good beating.

After a few seconds, the door of the room was opened.

The person who came in was RUPA.

"Are you angry?"

She asked bluntly.

"Were you heard?"

Sakura was surprised.

The soundproofing in the room was pretty good, and I was just shouting at the pillow, so it shouldn't have been heard.
