People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

After sitting down, Aoki responded politely.

"Indeed." Niijima Yusuke also sat down again, nodded, and continued, "Then the public opinion about your band, Aoki-san...will probably be completely eliminated after the release of 'Fireworks'..."

"Well, thank you Mr. Niijima for your kindness." Aokisuke responded.

After a few more brief words, Niijima Tomosuke called the waiter and asked for the order.

After confirming Aokisuke's taste and ordering a few dishes, we waited for a while and then all the dishes were served.

Then, before he even started eating, Niijima Yusuke spoke.

"And, ahem... Aoki-san, I'm here to discuss with you the quality of 'Fireworks', the live performance, and... the broadcasting."

Chapter 108: The last few days before public opinion turns against us

"Quality issue? Broadcast?" Aoki Jie was a little confused.

At this moment, across the table, Niijima Tomosuke seemed a little hesitant.

But after hesitating for a few seconds, he was no longer vague.

"Yes, regarding the quality of 'Fireworks.'" Director Niijima said, looking at Aokisuke. "This film... I'm the deputy producer, not the chief director. Before the film was fully completed... I didn't confirm the quality of this film."

"That is to say?"

Listening to what Niijima Tomosuke said, Aokisuke had already guessed what the other party was going to say next.

The quality of the film "Fireworks" is not very high, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a bad movie; but the music "Fireworks", which has won the Japan Gold Disc Award, can be deservedly called perfect.

But he didn't care much about these.

The quality of the film has nothing to do with the song. In the previous life, "Fireworks" broke through the shackles of bad movies with its excellent quality and became world-famous. In this life, Aoki Jie also believes that the song "Fireworks" played by the Ending Band can do the same.

"In other words, the quality of the film 'Fireworks' is not very high. After the film is released, it may even affect 'Fireworks'."

Following Aokisuke's words, Niijima Yusuke spoke, and then the moment he spoke, he stood up and bowed, and then continued,

"If Aoki-san wants to terminate the contract right now, that's fine. I'll pay the penalty. After all, it's my fault that this matter has turned out like this, so..."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Aoki Jie.

"As long as there's no problem with 'Fireworks', it's fine. I and the band are only responsible for the singing. The quality of the film is not tied to the songs. Besides, I still need to use 'Fireworks' to promote the music - so don't worry, Mr. Niijima."

He paused mid-sentence, stunned for a moment, then Niijima Yusuke reacted and quickly changed his words: "Thank you very much, Aoki-san!"

After shaking his hand to indicate that everything was alright and watching Niijima Yusuke sit down again, Aoki continued to ask questions along the lines of the previous question.

"Well, I understand about the live performance later, but as for the broadcast... Mr. Niijima, could you explain that a little more?"

"Ah, this, this is what I fought for you, Aoki-san, and your band."

Niijima Yusuke replied, "I was thinking about this before. Aoki-san, your band is just starting out and needs a lot of publicity. But without a signed company, such publicity is pitifully rare. So - I thought that after the release of 'Fireworks', your band could participate in a radio event."

"Taking advantage of this wave of popularity, participating in a broadcast would probably increase my visibility quite a bit, so I specifically discussed this with a friend who's a radio director. After he agreed, I came to see you, Aoki-san..."

Niijima Tomosuke handled this matter very smoothly. Even if it is not textbook level, it is at least at the level of an excellent student's work.

Because of his mistake, "Fireworks" was dubbed as the title of the film. He immediately apologized and offered to break the contract immediately without any compensation. After I refused, he offered an apology without hesitation—"fighting" for it, "deliberately" discussing it with a friend who was a radio director, and "after he agreed" he came to me...

It is completely worthy of being called the "art of speaking".

However, Aokisuke felt that this matter should be discussed with the other girls who had ended the band.

Hongxia, Kita, Liang, and others probably wouldn't refuse, but Pochi-chan... as a socially anxious person, she seems unable to withstand such a place.

So Aoki nods and answers,

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Niijima, but I need to discuss this matter with the rest of the band. I'll give you an answer the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"no problem."

Confirmed the broadcast.

After that, Niijima Yusuke briefly talked about the live performance.

As for live performances, it wasn't as simple as Aoki thought - there were set times and shows, but correspondingly, the band would get paid when they finished.

So Aoki Jie had no objection to this matter.

Finally, they talked briefly about the remuneration. After lunch, around 1:30, Aoki Jie left early because he had training in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, I went to the livehouse for ensemble practice and discussed the broadcast with several girls from the band.

As expected, except for Pochi-chan, no one refused.

As for Pochi-chan, although Aokisuke respected her ideas, after Kita, Nijika, and Ryo who learned that there would be a reward, she looked at Aokisuke with a look of help, but Aokisuke whistled and looked away and ignored her, so she reluctantly agreed to the request.

The next day, I told Niijima Yusuke that there was no problem with the broadcast.

Niijima Yusuke responded quickly and the broadcast was confirmed.

After this episode, life briefly returned to normal.

On September 19th, there was only one week left until the deadline to record the song.

On the 20th, I finally taught Kita some singing techniques. In terms of singing, Aokisuke had nothing more to teach him.

So I started to specialize in teaching guitar techniques.

Twenty-first, twenty-second, twenty-third...

The training lasted until September 27th.

According to the original plan, Aoki Jie and several girls who had ended the band boarded the bus specially prepared by the "Fireworks" production team and went to a special recording studio with their musical instruments.

In a recording studio with only a few people, Pochi-chan's guitar skills can be brought to full play.

Miss Liang's bass level has always been online. She has been training recently and has reached an extremely high level.

Hongxia's drum skills have also improved rapidly.

As for Kita, he uses the guitar for chords, but his singing skills are completely comparable to Aoki Suke's.

And Aokisuke...

The master-level keyboard technique is enough to set off the song "Light Up Fireworks".

So, the recording of songs began steadily.

After spending a whole morning trying to find the right state, re-recording, and adjusting the sound, among other things, the finished product of "Fireworks" was finally presented perfectly.

Niijima Yusuke, who had been listening nearby, did not care about the director's face at all after hearing the final product, and said that the movie was not worthy of this music.

In addition, he praised the playing skills of Kita and others in an extremely exaggerated and tearful manner, and suggested that he must find an opportunity to cooperate with them in his film in the future.

Hongxia really didn't know how to respond to this kind of thing, so she smiled awkwardly and replied, "I'll listen to Aoki-senpai."

Unfortunately, Niijima Tomosuke's cunning plan did not succeed.

......

According to Niijima Yusuke, this music will not be used in the trailer, but will be directly put into the movie in the end.

And now——

According to Niijima Yusuke, the film has been on the road of being promoted and released since its premiere.

Only about ten days left.

Chapter 109: The Stunning "Fireworks" (4k5)

On September 28th, the trailer for "Fireworks" was released as scheduled.

At the same time, the film's voice actors, director, and other production staff also began to perform promotional performances in various places across the country.

As mentioned before, the pre-recorded "Fireworks" did not appear in the trailer of this animated film.

Netizens who paid special attention to this trailer because of the 'Suki-san' public opinion incident were greatly disappointed after seeing this trailer.

However, many netizens, due to the overwhelming publicity, the relatively sophisticated trailer, and the luxurious production team, have begun to look forward to this animated film, whose full title is "Rising Fireworks, Seen from Below? Or from the Side?"

Those who were looking forward to it also began to spread the word to their friends. As a result, like a snowball effect, more and more audiences heard about "Fireworks" and intended to go to the cinema to watch it when it was released.

Aoki Suke and the other girls who had left the band took advantage of the free time to have a good rest since the recording of "Fireworks" had been completed.

After that, I may be busy with live performances, participating in radio shows, and other matters. After finishing these, I will have to start thinking about the PVC collaboration record... If I don’t take this opportunity to have a good rest, I may be even busier later.

However, although there will be less free time in the future, the band is now beginning to look like a "professional band".

Just after the band's break, most netizens were looking forward to it until October 7th.

"Fireworks" is now in theaters.

Aoki Suke and the girls who had ended the band did not go to the cinema to watch the movie immediately.

Although people were curious about the final effect of the film, the combination of "Fireworks" and "Fireworks", etc., due to the extremely popular nature of the film, those who did not deliberately rush to grab tickets did not get tickets for the premiere of the film.

After politely declining Niijima Tomosuke's offer of five internal tickets, the group relied on themselves and finally managed to grab tickets for a movie at a cinema in Shibuya for the 7pm show.

This time is perfect. After watching the movie, we can go to a restaurant to have a meal to celebrate...

We agreed on a meeting time in the band’s group chat this morning.

Aoki Jie no longer cared about watching the movie "Fireworks". After all, he had watched the entire movie in his previous life. Although his memory was very vague due to the long time, he could still remember the quality of the movie.

What he cares about right now is the reactions of netizens and fans of the Ghost elements band on the Internet after the full release of "Fireworks".

It is no exaggeration to say that the performance of "Fireworks" sung by Kita Ikuyo is absolutely perfect.

Aoki's judgment was absolutely correct - Kita's voice really fits the music very well. Her slightly ethereal voice truly interprets the artistic conception of "Fireworks".

In addition, Pochi's lead guitar, Hongxia's drums, and Liang's bass all work together perfectly.

Therefore, Aoki is very confident that once this music is fully released, it will definitely be enough to completely destroy the public opinion that is still active on the Internet.

Ever since that day when he posted a message saying "I don't accept it" under the account 'Suki-san', Aokisuke has never cared about the rumors on the Internet again.

The fans of the Ghost Elements band became even more rampant when they saw that Suki-san had fallen silent after they "criticized" her.

Since the final promotion and trailer release of "Firework", the momentum has intensified.

In fact, the rhetoric became several times more intense before the final film was released.

They blindly began to suspect that there was a financial collusion between the "Fireworks" production team and the Ending Band, and confirmed without any evidence that the quality of the Ending Band's music was not as good as that of the Ghost Elements Band; this attracted many people who did not know the inside story and were simply watching the show to sympathize with the Ghost Elements Band.

Of course Aoki knew this.

But he also knows that some things cannot be decided by traffic or fans.

Unfounded rumors like, "The quality of 'Fireworks' isn't as good as Ghost Elements' music," might work temporarily, but they won't last forever...

October 7th, 10:00 am.

Calculating the time, the audience of the first show has almost finished watching the entire film.

If film critics were more efficient, reviews of "Fireworks" would probably be available online by now.

As for music, the news media that have been closely following the public opinion surrounding 'Suki-san' will probably take this opportunity to capitalize on the popularity.

So, with a little curiosity in his heart, Aoki Jie opened Twitter.

When I searched for the keywords, as I expected, a large number of tweets about "Fireworks" had already started to appear on Twitter.

After a little sifting, he found a few more tweets specifically discussing music.

The most popular tweet at the moment is titled, "I confess. After watching 'Fireworks,' I felt: 'This masterpiece has missed its mark, and may be remembered in film history through false propaganda.' After listening to 'Fireworks,' I felt: 'Song of the Year, one song, saved a film!' (Spoilers included, click with caution)"

The tweet seems quite eye-catching, and the author of the tweet...

The nickname of the author of the tweet, Aokisuke, sounds familiar to you. It is the YouTube channel with the same name, with a full 120 million followers, and is extremely popular on various websites.

A gossip blogger who covers all kinds of things in society, from national history to games and animation.

The reason why Aoki Jie was familiar with him was that this blogger, nicknamed "Whiskey in the Glass", had commented on various public opinions during the period of confrontation between him and the Ghost elements band.

It's not that I'm partial to the Ghost elements, but I'm probably slightly influenced by the fans of the Ges band. My evaluation is very neutral - I said that before "Fireworks" is released, I will not fully support the end of the band.

And now, the author of this tweet has published an article titled "I Confess"...

Out of curiosity, Aokisuke clicked on the tweet.
