Baiyunshan continued to talk about his reasons.
"I've always been a very reasonable person."
"I apologize to the two of them on their behalf because there is something wrong with the way they speak. After all, the two of them are seniors in the circle. It was a bit rude for them to do so, so an apology is appropriate."
"It is also appropriate for you two to apologize to me. After all, many of what you two said are incorrect. Such speculations will also have an impact on my reputation if spread. Generally speaking, if someone does this, I may I need to hire a lawyer to send you two legal letters. Maybe you two don’t know that the lawyers I know are top-notch in issuing legal letters. But since you are seniors, I might as well forget it and don’t need to do anything. Just apologize verbally."
Baiyun Mountain was talking eloquently, and the words were calm and calm.
But that’s not what Ito and I heard. You asked us to apologize to you, but we took advantage of it? ridiculous!
Iko turned away and sneered, not bothering to say anything more. Ito shook his head and sighed: "Baiyun-san, right? You may not understand what you are talking about, and I am too lazy to explain anymore. Please come back." Bar."
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
Baiyunshan nodded slowly, pondered for a while and said: "I understand, judging from what you two mean, you don't want to apologize, right?"
"Please come back."
He repeated it again, and his voice was obviously much colder.
The meaning is very obvious. I think I am an old-timer in the music industry, but you are a newcomer, and you are not even a professional. You are just a small manager in an idol group. What's the point of saying a few words? ? Even if what you say is a bit ugly, can you still fight back? Don’t want to receive the award? Don’t want to hang out in this circle anymore?
Saying a few words to you so kindly is the biggest concession I can make. Otherwise, if you have never heard of anyone's name, who would care about you?
This is naked pride and disdain, as if the emperor didn't even bother to pay attention to the beggar when he was rude to him, and pretended not to hear him.
Baiyunshan looked at them deeply for a few times, then nodded and said: "I understand, I hope you two can still feel this way after a while."
Iko still sneered, but Ito simply pretended not to hear him and treated him like nothing.
He was not angry at all, he turned around calmly, and then looked at the little idols beside him who were looking at him with admiration and guilt in their eyes.
"Are you guys okay?"
The little idols shook their heads obediently.
"Then go back."
Baiyunshan took several people back to their seats.
...
The time came to 12:30 and the awards ceremony began.
After a few people on the seats were silent for a while, the little idols carefully exchanged glances with each other, and mustered up the courage to speak: "Baiyun-sang, is it really okay?"
"What doesn't matter?"
"The other party is a senior after all. Wouldn't this offend him?"
"What kind of seniors are they? I'm not from this industry. If you really want to talk about it, my main job is still an agent. If they change careers and enter the agency industry, I will become their senior!"
Although it sounds like sophistry, it has to be said that it is still somewhat convincing.
The little idols were a little relieved, but they heard Bai Yunshan continue: "Besides, what I just said is serious. I have always been very reasonable. If you scold me, then I will scold you back. I I have apologized to you, so naturally you have to apologize to me."
"Want to use his identity to suppress me? He can give it a try, I don't mind."
"But, is it really possible?" Several people were still a little worried. They sighed and said with frowning faces: "I'm sorry, Baiyunsang, it's all us who caused the trouble. We should apologize. Baiyunsang doesn't have to do this at all."
"Yes." Bai Yunshan said: "After all, you are speaking for me, and I am very happy. I am sorry for causing you some injustice just now, but I will get it back later."
He glanced at the stage lightly and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."
Although they didn't know where the confidence in Baiyunshan's tone came from, the little idols nodded vigorously and subconsciously chose to trust.
After all, Baiyunshan's performance has always given them a full sense of trust. If anything happens, there is basically no problem in approaching him. This time should be no exception - right?
Time passes faster.
Soon it was Baiyunshan's turn to take the stage to receive the award. His song "Top the of world" won the best new song award of the quarter at the Tokyo Music Festival. It is not a big award, but it contains gold. But it is a bit higher than the others. After all, this piece of music is not a subjective evaluation of the judges, but purely based on influence.
There was thunderous applause in the auditorium.
Except for reporters, this was the first time for most people to hear this name. However, there have been many newcomers receiving awards in previous music festivals, which is not unusual, so they did not pay too much attention to it. At most, they were interested in it. There was a group of little girls behind him who were a little curious and didn't understand what was going on?
Baiyunshan led several young idols one after another to the stage along the carpeted road, then took the handed trophy and looked at the people in the audience.
The number of people receiving the award was not particularly large, but it looked like there were dozens of them, and there was a circle of reporters and photographers at the front, aiming their spears and sticks at the Baiyun Mountain on the stage.
Baiyunshan understood that it was time for his acceptance speech.
Grandstanding?
Hype?
Making a fool of yourself?
Thinking back to the comments he just heard, Bai Yunshan narrowed his eyes slightly. He is not a soft persimmon, anyone can pinch him!
In terms of strength, with the support of the system, there are really not many people in the entire auditorium who can be taken seriously by him. In terms of connections and status, he can be regarded as a Sony person, recommended by the nominal senior Yasushi Akimoto, and Ryuichi Sakamoto was hiding in the background to support him. I don't know about others, but against these two, there really isn't anything wrong with me.
If you put on airs and show off with me and refuse to admit your mistakes, I'm afraid you've got the wrong person!
What he wanted to say had already been thought of in the audience, so Baiyunshan did not hesitate and said directly: "Good afternoon, everyone. I am very happy to come to this music festival. I am Baiyunshan."
Applause sounded sparsely.
Bai Yunshan continued: "Actually, I am an agent. I feel extremely honored to be here to receive the award, so please allow me to introduce the people behind me."
The little idols understood the idea, stepped forward to take over the microphone, and spoke one by one.
"Good afternoon everyone, I am Mai Shiraishi from Nogizaka46."
"Good afternoon everyone, I am Erika Ikuta from Nogizaka46."
"Good afternoon everyone, I am Rina Ikoma from Nogizaka46."
...
Hearing the members introduce themselves one by one, everyone in the audience was very surprised. Obviously they didn't expect that they were not only newcomers, but also the managers of an idol group. This is really strange. It can be called the first time since the restart of the music festival. Example!
But what was even more surprising was what happened next. Baiyunshan gave the members a planned slap in the face, promoted the second single and Nogizaka46 that were still in preparation, and then took the microphone and continued to speak.
"Then it's question time. Do you have anything to ask?"
A reporter obviously knew about his deeds. After glancing at the notebook in his hand, he quickly raised his hand and said: "Excuse me, Baiyunshan Sang. There are rumors that you wrote a song in ten minutes, uh... It’s the song “Poetry of Nogizaka”, is this true?”
It takes ten minutes to write a song?
The people in the audience who heard about Baiyun Mountain for the first time looked at each other in disbelief.
They were already a little surprised that their manager could write a song to receive an award. What was the concept of writing a song in ten minutes? If you have this talent, why do you need to work so hard as an agent? Why don’t you become your own music producer? Isn’t it enough to just write songs specifically for singers and stars in the industry who need music? There is a saying, there are many singers in the industry, but there are absolutely very few songs that can be called passable!
So, it must be fake, right?
Hype? rumor? It seems that these are the only explanations.
Baiyunshan thought for a while, then said: "It's true that I composed the song "Poetry of Nogizaka", but it was obviously fake because it was written in ten minutes."
really!
The audience was in an uproar. People were relieved and nodded in unison.
Sure enough, he was here to refute the rumors. His guess was correct. After all, how could anyone write a song in ten minutes? It’s too outrageous!
The two Itos in the audience also looked at each other and smiled, obviously as they expected, looking at the stage with a sneer.
Although it is said to be a refutation of rumors, it depends on how you want to end it!
Matsuoka, who was standing next to the railing on the second floor, withdrew his gaze, leaned on the railing leisurely, and said easily: "Did it turn out to be a fake? That's really a pity. It seems that Sakamoto-san's vision is not that good either. It’s such a pity that the only thing that can be said to be outstanding about the person you like is hype, and you admit it publicly like this——"
Sakamoto Ryuichi narrowed his eyes, then shook his head and said: "No, Matsuoka-san, you are still wrong. This is not hype."
"It's not hype, then what did he just say——"
Matsuoka chuckled, but before he could finish speaking, when the discussion in the audience died down, the reporter asked again.
"So, what Baiyun Shansang means is that this rumor is just a hype, right?"
"No, it's not hype either."
"Isn't it a hype?" The reporter was stunned for a moment, then half-jokingly said: "Does Baiyun Shansang want to say that you are completely unaware of the spread of this news? This is too-haha."
As he said this, he couldn't help but smile.
Everyone in the audience also smiled knowingly.
It's understandable to say it's hype, but if you say it's not hype and you don't know anything about it, do you think everyone is a fool? How can this be? After all, this is all coming from within Sony, who would believe it!
Baiyunshan's face remained calm and he said: "Of course I know about it, but it's really not hype, it's just that there are some problems in the narrative."
"What's the problem? Didn't it take ten minutes to create this "Poetry of Nogizaka"?" The reporter flipped through his notebook in confusion. Did he remember it wrong?
"Of course not ten minutes."
"It took me three minutes to arrange the music, and it took me four minutes to handwrite the music score and fill in the lyrics, so the total time spent is--"
Baiyunshan stretched out his finger and drew a number in the air.
"Seven minutes is right."
