After the grave sweeping, Kazuma went to Tokyo University to show his face as planned.
Because it was already the end of the semester, Honami and Mikako had no classes in the afternoon, so it simply became a group tour of Tokyo University together.
A group of people got out of the car in front of Chimen. This group of beauties gathered together was enough to attract attention. Mikako got out of the car and shouted "This is Dongda", which completely attracted everyone's attention. .
Honami knocked her on the head: "Didn't you also come together the day I watched the ranking with Ma! Why did you act like it was your first time here?"
"On the day I read the list, I was worried about the results of the next day's list! I don't have the time to look at the scenery! Look at Chimen, it's really red. If it can run, it must be three times faster than ordinary gates!"
Kazuma looked suspiciously at the iconic gate of Dongda University—although it is called Chimen, it is not as red as it is painted red with horns.
Honami was still complaining about Mikako: "Ordinary gates can't run at all, and the triple speed of 0 is also 0."
"Honami, you are so serious, you will age faster."
Regardless of these two, He Ma walked straight along the school road—the eyes of the people around him had already focused on him, and he didn't want to be surrounded by everyone as if he were a rare animal.
He hadn't taken two steps when a guy he knew came in front of him.
Fujita Susumu: "Hey, Kiryu-kun, how does it feel to burn 100 million yen?"
He Ma shrugged: "It's okay."
"One Hundred Million Yen Burned" published by Fang Chun, a weekly magazine, aroused great repercussions as usual.
Takashi Hanabha said that the editorial department was discouraged before this issue of the magazine went to press, and blacked out the company name of Fufu Technology, as well as the names of Horaka Aikawa, Shibai Tahisa, and others.
As a result, this behavior actually played a role in fueling the flames. Other newspapers and magazines speculated about what was blacked out. Everyone knew that Kiryu burned 100 million yen.
Fortunately, the first magazine is Fangchun Weekly. This magazine used to be scheming, misleading, and confounding black and white. This time Hanabou Takashi used such an explosive title, so the Economic Crime Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department and the Bank of Japan just made a phone call. Inquiring about the situation, He Ma put the blame on Fang Chun, the weekly magazine, and they didn't pursue it seriously.
Anyway, He Ma's goal is just to swear that he will not join forces with welfare technology. Although the company name and person's name have been blotted out, anyone who really understands this kind of thing will naturally understand it.
Because of this, on the night when the weekly magazine Fangchun was published, Araki made a phone call to the Kiryu dojo, and exchanged ordinary greetings, but everything was kept silent.
But for those who don't understand, "facts" have become another look.
Weekly Fang Chun's potential competitor soon "exclusively broke the news", revealing that this is a promotional session for the new single of Kiryu and Ma Yusony Music, and Weekly Fang Chun is just bad money.
Hanafang Takashi took a look: Good guy, this is a home-delivered sales volume. This is unbearable, so he summed up the dark history of the pile of old sesame seeds and rotten millet at his house, and published a supplement.
Sure enough, the supplement was sold out within three hours after it went on sale.
Hema, the rightful owner, hasn't made any money yet. Hanfang Takashi first received a large performance bonus, and his face glowed with radiance every day, so that Hema wanted to put some wax on his face.
This public opinion war came and went, and Ma became a man who burned 100 million yen-this title always reminded him of the bounty in the pirate Luffy. I remember that there was a section titled "Bounty" before Luffy's Sky Island chapter. A man of 100 million", the content seems to be a spring man in seconds.
Before going to school with Malay, he was prepared that someone would ask him about burning 100 million yen, so he smiled at Susumu Fujita and said, "No one really takes the weekly Fangchun seriously, right?"
Come on, Fang Chun, take the pot.
Susumu Fujita also laughed, and asked again: "So, is it really a promotion for a new single? Are they actually counterfeit coins?"
"What kind of counterfeit money is called prop money." He Ma corrected.
"That's right, the money for props. This is used for props, so Kiryu-kun, are you going to make a movie again?"
"You're thinking too much. I'm a college student in Tokyo who aims at criminal police. It's okay to be a martial arts instructor. Let's forget about making movies. Let's stop chatting. I'm going to say hello to the professor."
After finishing speaking, he wanted to slip away with Ma, but Fujita Shin pulled him back: "Will you have a friendship later? Even if you don't have to pick up girls, you should think about your apprentices."
He Ma raised his eyebrows: "My dojo is very free, and the apprentices have great autonomy. You can ask them if they want to form a friendship."
Fujita Jin curled his lips and gritted his teeth: "Okay!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to face the girls who had arrived behind Kazuma, first looked at Jinguji, thought for a while and then looked at Honami.
Honami spoke first: "I'm not interested in a man who can't beat me, sorry."
Susumu Fujita glanced at Honami's muscular arm: "It's okay, excuse me. Then this..."
He looked at the little Seiryu who was sandwiched between Honami and Mikako.
"I'm better than this, are you sure?" Haruka pointed at Honami with a thumbs up, "Look at your delicate face, you'll cry for a long time if you punch me."
Fujita Susumu stayed where he was.
Kazuma had already moved forward, and the girls simply left Fujita Susumu in place.
When Mikako passed by him, she reached out and patted his shoulder: "Be good, little brother, don't cry, don't cry, you will find something better."
Honami: "Mikako, don't just pat on the shoulders of guys you don't know, you don't know them well."
"It's more polite to pat someone on the shoulder than to say you're going to hit them the first time you meet them, right? Why don't you scold Qing Liuliu and scold me?"
"Qingliu is still young."
"I'm still young."
"Hmph, ribs."
"He Ma, can I kill her?"
"No, just take a beating."
"And the horse! Ow! Don't step on your toes! It hurts!"
He and Ma and his party left in a row, and Fujita Susumu was left where he was.
For the first time since he was born, he had a doubt: Could it be that I am not a handsome guy who is always in love, and everything before is my self-satisfaction
Fujita Susumu, today also doubts the authenticity of the handsome man's life in the past eighteen years.
**
The professors have a good attitude towards Kazuma, and basically they all praise Jinguji Tamamo to Kazuma. It's all because of her posture that "we don't hold you accountable for not coming to class for almost a month and a half."
The professor of Introduction to Law also said to He Ma earnestly: "Life sometimes seems to have a lot of choices, and each of them is colorful, but when you choose, you must think twice and find the choice that is really beneficial to you."
After speaking, the professor took a meaningful look at the girls waiting for Kazuma outside the lecture hall.
He Ma said with a serious face, "Thank you, Professor, for your teaching."
"I can only point fingers, your own life is ultimately up to you." After speaking, the professor patted He Ma on the shoulder, "Submit the report, and I will give you a B this semester."
"Only B?"
"What else do you want? How many classes have you taken this semester besides April? If you hadn't been on TV, I thought you had dropped out. Be content."
The professor withdrew his hands from his horse's shoulders, lowered his head and started packing up the lecture notes on the podium.
Kazuma looked back at the girls, Jinguji Tamamo met his gaze, then looked down at his watch.
That's saying it's almost time to go to the next professor.
So she said goodbye to Professor Ma Xiang, left the classroom, and followed Yuzao straight to the next professor—she seemed to have already investigated where the professors she was going to meet today were in the school.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, He Ma finally visited all the professors who were supposed to visit that day.
He watched Yuzao cross out the last professor's name on the notebook, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Why do I feel more tired this afternoon than tearing down the White Summit alone."
"I'm really sorry that our Baifeng is so good." Baifeng Qingliu said angrily.
Mikako clasped the back of her head with her hands, posed Nobita Nobita's classic pose, and asked, "What are you going to do next? It's time to eat, right? Is it eating? I ate some cake on the road at noon, and I'm not full at all!"
Kazuma grabbed Honami's arm, looked at her watch, and said, "It's still early, I want to go to Earth House."
Honami: "The piano shop?"
"Yes. The old man came back to Qingliu to give her the piano for repair, and then told me to go to the Earth House." He Ma shrugged, "The old man is very good at karate, why don't you try it and see if I can do it?" Can you protect Qingliu well?"
Qingliu: "No way. Why is this kind of plot in your head?"
Mikako cleared her throat with a cough, and said in an old voice, "If you want to marry my granddaughter, hit me first! Is that so?"
"That's right, that's it." He Ma nodded.
Qingliu yelled: "That's you! I think one day Ah Mao will be beaten to death by you."
Nodding with Ma repeatedly: "Yes, yes, there will be such a day."
Honami patted Hema's shoulder lightly with her hand: "What a fart, wouldn't it be nice to protect the juniors gently?"
"Master, master, it is natural to be as strict as the old father, gentleness is the job of the master." He Ma said casually.
Then everyone fell into a strange silence.
Jinguji Yuzao snapped the pocket book in his hand, and said with a smile to everyone: "Then, let's go to the Earth Room. Except for Qingliu and Ma, it should be the first time for everyone to go to this musical instrument shop, right? "
Honami nodded: "It's my first time. I have to trouble Kazuma or Haruki to tell Butler Suzuki the address."
Together with Ma and Qingliu, they agreed: "Okay!"
**
The Earth House didn't seem to have changed in any way. Although there was a "Open" sign on the door, it didn't look like there would be any guests coming, and no one could be seen in the store through the window.
Qingliu immediately opened the door and went in, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Old man!"
He Ma led the girls in a file.
As soon as Honami entered the store, she said: "I like this store, and I like the 'old European' atmosphere."
Mikako: "There are a bunch of rock instruments here, electric guitars, electric basses, and drums. How old is it in Europe?"
He Ma: "You don't understand this, do you? European rock is also very powerful. Don't think of America when you mention rock."
Unconvinced, Mikako pointed to the shamisen behind the counter: "Is this shamisen also old Europe?"
Both Kazuma and Honami were stunned.
Qingliu had already run into the door leading to the back, and went to find the old man.
Tamamo approached the shamisen and looked at it carefully.
Honami also looked at the shamisen from a distance, and murmured to herself, "It's a special shelf and placed in a conspicuous place. It doesn't matter if it doesn't match the style of the whole store. This should be the owner's treasure."
Kazuma was about to answer when a voice came from the door leading to the back of the store.
"The string of the shamisen has been broken for a long time." Accompanied by the words, the old man came out from the door leading to the back, followed by Qingliu, "Why, miss, are you learning the shamisen?"
Yuzao glanced at the old man, the corners of his mouth that had been flattened relaxed, and then smiled: "I understand a little bit."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Mikako who was about to speak, and strangled Mikako's sabotage action in her throat.
The old man came to the shamisen, held the piano with both hands, and sighed: "I actually tried to change the strings to new ones, but no matter how expensive the strings I use, the sound is different from what I remember."
Yuzao: "Once the past time is gone, it can never be retrieved. The problem is probably in your heart, old man."
The old man smiled: "An eighteen-year-old girl is quite good at talking. However, maybe you are right, maybe at some point in the future, I will put new strings on it, and then play a little bit of memorization. In a minor key. But not now, not now."
After speaking, the old man put the shamisen back on the special shelf.
He turned his head to look at Kazuma, and was about to speak when he noticed Butler Suzuki silently guarding the door of the Earth House behind Kazuma.
"Hey, here comes an old guy like me." The old man said.
Butler Suzuki nodded slightly: "I'm just accompanying my lady here, please don't pay too much attention to my existence."
"Really, that's it. I wanted to say that I can exercise my muscles after a long absence."
The old man looked really sorry.
Should it be said that he really plays rock and roll, and hits a straight ball when he sees an opponent worthy of a fight.
He Ma looked at the 51-level karate above the old man's head, and then at the 67-level karate of the Suzuki butler, thinking that the store would disappear if the two fought.
The old man no longer looked at Butler Suzuki, he came to the shelf where the guitars were placed, chose one from the row of guitars, and stuffed it into Kazuma's hands without any explanation.
"I heard that you are going to collaborate with Sha Xuli on a single, and this piano is for you."
Qingliu: "My name is Baifeng Qingliu now..."
"That doesn't matter. You're Sasuri here. Well, I'm just getting old and don't want to bother remembering new names. Come on, try it! Play that chord I taught you earlier, and you won't tell me back Didn't practice at all after home?"
In fact, He Ma really didn't practice at all, it's not that he didn't want to practice, he couldn't practice without the piano.
But I feel that I will be scolded for telling the truth at this time—
While hesitating, the old man sneered: "Huh, sure enough, I didn't practice. But I didn't give you a piano before. Looking at the cheap clothes on you, I probably can't afford a piano myself. I have a harmonica."
—Why, isn’t the harmonica also a piano
But Kazuma looked at the old man's rank again and decided to pretend to be dumb.
Although I now have Butler Suzuki on my side, the piano shop and the horse are quite fond of it, and I don't want it to be destroyed in the battle between the two humanoid Gundams.
The old man returned to the counter, took out a copy of "Learning Guitar from Scratch" and threw it to Kazuma.
"Take it away! Well, let's go, it's none of your business."
Hema held the book in one hand and the neck of the guitar in the other, and honestly didn't realize it.
Um? What do you mean the piano was given to me
He Ma glanced at the piano, the bottom of the piano was painted with fire, it was new and handsome.
"This piano... How much is it, if I pay in installments..."
"Five million yen, do you really plan to install it in installments?" the old man asked angrily.
He Ma's first reaction was to carefully put the piano back on the shelf.
This will wipe off a piece of paint, and my family's passbook will be cleared.
The voice of the calculator pressing the reset button has already sounded in Kazuma's ears: "Return to zero, return to zero, return to zero..."
"Take it! Then try to play the chords that match it. A man should do this." The old man stared at Kazuma.
He Ma swallowed his saliva: "Well, I just started, no, I haven't started yet, it's okay to change to a cheaper piano. Or you can give me five million, I will choose a piano and buy it, and use the extra money Come and read Qingliu's music high school and music university... "
"Don't be a mother-in-law, you have the guts to go to the meeting and hack through Bai Fengfeng to steal away Sha Xuli, are you afraid that you won't be able to learn the guitar?"
Hema: "This..."
The old man glanced at Qingliu: "The tuition and miscellaneous fees of the Music High School and the Music University are not much, and the economy is so good now that you can't even earn this little money, so I will take Sha Xuli to live in the Earth House. "
He Ma couldn't refute it at all.
Because the economy is indeed very prosperous in this era, and four years later, the Plaza Accord was signed in 1985, and the era of bubbles is coming.
He could only bow to the old man.
Pointing to the consumables and music supplies sold in the store, Honami asked, "Is there a guitar case for sale here? I want to buy one that matches this guitar."
"Yes, yes." The old man changed his face instantly, showing a business smile, "What style do you want Miss?"
"Black and inconspicuous will do."
"Then how about this leather and velvet lining? It's low-key and luxurious, and it's very suitable for the lady's lover."
"Then this one, don't need to pack it, just give it to me."
Honami said as she took out her wallet, and took out a stack of 10,000 yuan bills from it.
After a while, Hema's new guitar was put into the case and carried on his back.
When He Ma got the piano case, what he thought was that he could hide the P90 in the piano case in the future, and then he could shoot after taking it out—well, it fits Beichen’s one-sword style.
The old man stood by the counter, watching Kazuma and the others put the guitar together.
Then he waved his hand: "Okay, go, old man, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
That business smile just now was fake.
No, business smiles are fake.
He Ma bowed to the old man again, turned around and walked out of the shop.
Old man: "By the way, after the single is released, if there are more samples, please send me a collection."
He Ma turned his head, gave the old man a thumbs up, and then opened the door and left the store.
The girls filed out after him.
Yuzao was the last one to leave. Before she went out, she seemed to remember it suddenly. She turned her head and said to the old man who was about to leave the counter and go to the back of the store: "When are you going to sell this shamisen? Please sell it to me."
The old man snorted: "I don't know which day will come first, or the god of death will come first. I will write it in the will, what should I call you?"
"Tamamo," the girl paused, and added her full name, "Jinguji Yuzao."
"Oh, that Jinguji that makes wagashi, I know." The old man nodded, and without waiting for Jinguji Yuzao to go out, he turned his head and walked into the door leading to the back of the shop.
Yuzao also turned around and left the store, and saw Kazuma standing beside the car waiting for her, with the guitar and books put away.
"I thought you would know the owner of the earth house." He paused, "but it seems that you know the owner of the shamisen."
"I'm only eighteen years old, how can I know someone who is old enough to be my grandmother." Yuzao said.
Hema smiled, opened the car door, and posed like a British butler: "Please, Mr. Danzi."
Yuzao also nodded to him very Britishly, and got into the car with dignified steps.
Hema glanced at the signboard of Earth House, and got into the car.
The bulletproof Lincoln starts and drives away.
**
A week later, He Ma's report was almost finished, and his first semester at Dongdae University was coming to an end.
On this day, Oiwakawa Houyi of Sony Music visited the Kiryu Dojo with two middle-aged people.
After exchanging pleasantries, Oiwakawa introduced the people he brought to Kazuma: "Mr. Kiryu, this is Mr. Dazhang who is in charge of the arrangement, and this is Mr. Yamada, the recording supervisor. Two teachers, I don't need to introduce more about this one." Bar?"
The recording supervisor first handed over his business card: "I have heard of Mr. Kiryu's name for a long time, but when I saw it today, it really is extraordinary."
Oikawa Houichi explained next to him: "Sensei Yamada usually likes to study physiognomy."
Kazuma smiled and said, "Is that so, what does Mr. Yamada think of my face?"
"Mr. Kiryu, if this is the Warring States Period, you must be a big name, and you can even compete for the position of the world."
He nodded with the horse, thinking that your rainbow fart shot was good.
He turned to look at Teacher Da Zhang.
This surname always reminds He Ma of the big Zhang Zhengji, but it is probably just the same surname.
Teacher Dazhang just handed over his business card, exchanged a few simple greetings and shook hands, and then went straight to the topic: "Does Teacher Kiryu have any plans for this single?"
He Ma also doesn't like small talk - as a senior sales representative in his previous life, he was actually very good at talking nonsense in that kind of scene, but the more he was good at it, the less he liked it.
So he also went straight to the topic: "I already have some ideas. In fact, during the Baifeng summit incident, when I came out of the Baifeng summit with Qingliu in my arms, the melody was already generated in my mind. Qingliu, come and sing. "
Qingliu, who was sitting obediently behind Hema, nodded her head—one was the hostess's seat, and she deliberately sat back.
Qingliu stood up, glanced at the three of them, and said, "My English is not very good. I have been trained by Mikako-Fujii for a week, and I can finally memorize the pronunciation of the lyrics, which makes everyone laugh."
Teacher Da Zhang nodded.
The recording supervisor smiled and said, "It's okay! We Japanese don't speak English very well. It's just that L and R don't distinguish. Foreigners basically don't understand it. Don't worry about it."
The Japanese pronounce light and right are the same sound, there is no difference at all, it is indeed a dead game.
Qingliu nodded, and took a deep breath.
After she opened her mouth, the corner of Teacher Da Zhang's mouth twitched.
It seems that Qingliu's sounds of nature have successfully surprised him.
But at the end of the first sentence, Teacher Da Zhang frowned slightly—but the frown was not very serious, and the word "Chuan" was not obvious.
And Supervisor Yamada was shocked all the way.
To be honest, the comparison of this expression made He Ma's affection for Teacher Da Zhang skyrocket.
When the song ended, Director Yamada immediately applauded.
Then Oikawa Houyi and Mr. Dazhang also applauded together.
After the applause fell, Director Yamada spoke first: "The song is a good one, but it doesn't match the current popular genre."
Kazuma originally thought that Director Yamada would flatter him to the end, but he didn't expect him to say that, which was a bit surprising.
Oikawa Houyi also said: "The music is the kind that will make people aftertaste, but it does not have the impact of hooking people all at once. The songs of Mr. Kiryu before have the power to catch people all at once.
"Of course, this change in style reflects the talent of Mr. Kiryu. I personally admire it, but we urgently need a song that can become a national song at once. You know, our main business is now in North America. The expansion rate of the Japanese market... ”
Dayan Chuan Hou hesitated to speak.
But in fact, he and Ma are clearly related—he is a person from the future, and those things that are now commercial secrets can be looked up on the encyclopedia in the future.
According to the development path of the previous life, He Ma estimates that the current Sony Music is most likely built on the skeleton that Sony bought from the United States a few years ago. In the previous life, Sony bought Columbia Records, which seems to be in the late 1960s or early 1970s. matter.
After the acquisition of Columbia Records, Sony established Sony Music (Japan) immediately, and wanted to counterattack and return to the mainland, but it was attacked by the local music giants, and it was not very smooth.
Later, the aces of Sony Music (Japan), such as Ken Hirai, is only nine years old now, Mika Nakashima has not yet been born, and the oldest Kazumasa Oda is now a young man who has just started playing in a band for a few years...
After reminiscing with Ma, I immediately understood the expectations of Sony Music for me.
Sure enough, Oikawa Houyi said again: "After I submitted the project proposal to the executive meeting, the executives attached great importance to it and decided to go all out to support this project. They even directly invested money in Fangchun's opponent of the weekly magazine, using The form of breaking news copied the heat. Now everyone has very high expectations for this single, so that... "
He Ma: "I understand. In fact, I recently had a burst of inspiration and wrote more than one song. Qingliu, you can also sing the one I gave you."
On the second day after Qingliu moved in, Hema gave her a song on the grounds of "giving you a moving-in gift".
"Romeo and Cinderella", Kazuma felt that this song probably fit Qingliu's state of mind when he went to the spot with him to find the God of Music, so he copied it out.
This song is the hall song of the V family, and it was included in the first V family album officially published on the NICONICO website.
Sing Jian, who sang the cover of V's song back then, would be ashamed to say that he was singing if he didn't cover this.
Qingliu cleared her throat and was about to speak when she suddenly remembered something and said to Kazuma: "Let me play and sing. The a cappella effect of this song is not that good."
He Ma nodded: "Alright."
So Qingliu picked up the guitar she had prepared, took a deep breath, and began to play and sing.
This time it was Japanese lyrics, and her performance was obviously better than before.
Hema observes the expressions of the three of them.
As expected of a palace song, the expressions of the three of them were obviously much more involved than before.
At the end of the song, it was Teacher Da Zhang who spoke first: "Miss Qingliu—sorry, I don't know her last name. Has Miss Qingliu received formal vocal training?"
Qingliu nodded: "No."
"Tsk, a piece of jade in the rough, what a pity."
Director Yamada: "Say the tune, talk about the tune! This one is really great, but since it's a piece for Ms. Qingliu, how about letting Ms. Qingliu perform it after she has received formal vocal training?"
He Ma frowned slightly, he could see that these people were still dissatisfied with the tune.
Oikawa Houyi saw and frowned at Ma, and hurriedly said: "The song is very good! We have no objection to the song, and please send it to us for publication in the future. But the style of this song is a bit different from the popular ones now. , the board of directors hopes to have a more stable tune."
Hema understands that it's not that the song is bad, it's that it's too advanced.
It seems that I have to copy a song whose age is close to the present.
Originally, Kazuma thought this song would not work, so he called Tamazamo to come over and write Yoshihara Elegy, but that was also a V family song, and it also used a very "future" arrangement method.
Now it seems that it probably won't work, and the three can only sigh "Ms. Kiryu is really talented", and they can't sell it for money.
So He Ma began to recall those "old songs" that were produced in a time closer to the present...
