"Huh..."
Seeing that she was almost obsessed and muttering madly, Kurosawa Hikaru breathed a sigh of relief.
Honestly, with his mastery of piano, world-class skills, the talent of the photographer, shooting the cover, and such a great piano and recording studio, he was actually quite confident.
However, ever since the video was released, Igarashi Runa was so nervous that his heartstrings were tense.
It was not until this moment that Miss Runa, who had been suppressed for so long, finally exploded and saw the light of day.
Just as he expected, the piano piece "Croatian Rhapsody" has the power to make people kneel down at the first sound.
The original version of this piece of music was already invincible, and it made Maxim instantly famous all over the world, and he became a well-known contemporary pianist.
Now, due to the power of his master-level piano, it has been slightly adapted and its power is even more unpredictable.
"Kurosawa, you are much better than the Karaoke God! He can get hundreds of thousands of plays a day, and he relies on Lemon as the opening song, while you are completely original, have zero fan base, and you beat him directly!"
Igarashi Runa thought about it for a long time, gradually calmed down, and couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru felt that she had regained her sanity and stopped hugging her.
"Signing with me, do you think you made the right choice?"
Seeing her excited and almost worshipful look, Kurosawa Hikaru, who had already changed back into his own clothes, smiled.
"Yes, absolutely right. Judging from the current response, it is definitely a song that will be remembered as a masterpiece."
Igarashi Runa nodded heavily. She could already feel countless banknotes flying towards her.
Twenty million a year? That's nothing. She worked very hard and saved money for six years before she could buy a house.
She wants to earn more, and from now on, she will no longer have a boss above her, because she is the boss!
"Is the response to that video really that good? It's only over 400,000, and you're already dreaming of 100 million or 200 million views."
Ninomiya Chizuru couldn't help but complain.
This guy was so excited just now that he hugged Kurosawa Mitsuru and kissed him randomly. He is really crazy.
"Qianhe, 100 million and 200 million views are not exaggerated. The video has just been put on the front page, and it will definitely continue to rise at an even more exaggerated rate... Do you know which video on YouTube has the most video views in a year?"
Igarashi Runa noticed her dissatisfaction, gave her an apologetic look, and then began to explain.
"How many?"
Chizuru Ninomiya had no idea about these data and records.
"Six hundred and fifty million. In just one year, the number of YouTube users has reached more than two billion worldwide! Once a video is on the homepage, the number of views will only increase exponentially. It is no exaggeration to say that within a month, the name "Zero Hour" will be known all over the country."
Igarashi Runa's expression was very serious, but she also had an excitement that she couldn't conceal.
If she didn't know the value of this, why would she have kissed Kurosawa Hikaru like a madman just now
She knew very well that Zero Hour Agency was destined to rise.
What's more, Zero Hour will be more popular than Fujiwara Rikka and become a national-level pianist. With his singing skills in the future, he may become famous all over the world.
"So scary?"
Ninomiya Chizuru looked at Kurosawa Hikaru who was sitting on the sofa opposite her with some surprise.
It’s hard to imagine that just by posting a video, in less than a month, Kurosawa has transformed himself into a national celebrity.
“I didn’t expect that.”
Kurosawa Hikaru noticed her gaze and thoughts and shrugged.
To be honest, if Miss Runa hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that the value of his video was so terrifying.
"Kurosawa, from today on, you must wear a mask and sunglasses when you come to the agency or meet me... Of course, if you don't want to be a masked artist, you don't have to wear them."
Igarashi Runa gave an extremely serious instruction.
"So exaggerated?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised to see her serious expression.
"It's so exaggerated... Your current fan growth rate is even comparable to those superstars who joined YouTube after a long time of fame, and this is just the beginning. By this time tomorrow, your video will have at least millions of views. The most important thing is, take a look at the comments section."
Igarashi Runa nodded, then operated the mouse, held the laptop, and pointed it at him.
After hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru went to see curiously.
Seeing this scene, Ninomiya Chizuru also became curious and walked over to watch.
The two people were a little close, and the fragrance was refreshing.
Then, they looked at the comment section together.
“It sounds great, doesn’t it?”
"This song will be a hit! A divine song!"
"The song is beautiful and the guy is so handsome, so charming, I am melting."
"Zero hour! Zero hour!"
"I was invited to watch this video. In my opinion, although the level of this piece of music is not top-notch, the performance level is very high, at least at international level. I wonder which master you are?"
“His voice is so nice!”
"His hands are so beautiful! So long, white and slender!"
"So elegant, can you show your face?"
"I bet Zero is super handsome and has so much style."
"The response is pretty good." When Kurosawa Hikaru saw these comments, he felt very happy and had a sense of being recognized.
"Do you have beautiful hands?" After reading these comments, Ninomiya Chizuru glanced at the man next to her with her beautiful eyes under her rimless glasses.
She looked at Kurosawa Hikaru's hands... In fact, she didn't really understand what kind of beautiful hands looked like. After all, she was not a hand control freak and seldom cared about it. But after being reminded, she started to think about it.
Kurosawa's hands do look very nice... His fingers are very long, his palms are big, fleshy but not fat, and overall they are perfect.
"The person who was invited to watch was a well-known pianist. He said this, and your status was raised very high... The key is that you play the piano so charmingly. Now these fans have begun to wonder what you look like under the mask."
Although they were on the other side, Igarashi Runa felt that they had finished reading it, so she explained.
She has been operating the computer, paying attention to the growth in playback volume and response, and naturally paying close attention to the comments.
The person who posted the comment had already clicked on the homepage to read the creator's profile, who is a well-known foreign pianist.
"good."
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't want his true identity to be discovered in the first place. When he realized that he had suddenly become a celebrity and was being noticed by people, he nodded and agreed consciously.
Anyway, now that I'm famous, making money won't be a problem.
"for you."
Just then, Chizuru Ninomiya took out a pack of wet wipes, took out one and handed it to her.
"What's wrong?"
When Kurosawa Mitsuru saw her handing over the thing, he subconsciously reached out to take it and became confused.
"Wipe the lipstick off your face."
Ninomiya Chizuru looked at the six lipstick marks on his face and felt a little annoyed, but her face remained calm.
"Are there any lipstick marks... Okay."
Kurosawa Hikaru reacted and took a wet tissue and gently wiped his face.
"Feel sorry."
Seeing this scene, Igarashi Runa couldn't help but say as she thought about how she had kissed everyone randomly in excitement just now.
"It doesn't matter."
Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at Ninomiya Chizuru and found that she had no expression on her face, so he shook his head.
This matter can be a big deal or a small one. After all, kissing on the face is considered a courtesy in foreign countries and it is not a big deal at all.
In fact, although he was confused by the random kisses just now, he was actually quite happy. After all, Miss Runa was very beautiful, a rare short-haired beauty.
It is no exaggeration to say that no man would be unhappy to be kissed by such a beauty.
However, he couldn't show it in front of Miss Ninomiya.
"Let's eat, let's order takeout to celebrate."
Igarashi Runa looked at Chizuru a little guiltily, then stood up and greeted her, trying to divert the topic and attention.
"We can celebrate, but we can't drink anymore."
Although Ninomiya Chizuru was a little jealous, she was not actually angry. She was not that narrow-minded, so she just said it anyway.
"ah?"
When Igarashi Runa heard this, her originally happy expression suddenly fell.
"If you get drunk again, you'll have to ask Kurosawa to carry you home. It's not good to trouble him."
"I can sleep here. The bed is made."
"If you want to drink, drink it."
Ninomiya Chizuru realized that she was really happy and had to drink to celebrate, and there was nothing she could do about it.
After all, she and Runa are best friends, not sisters, nor mother and daughter, so she has no right to restrict each other.
"No need to drink. I have to work as a part-time driver to take you home tonight. What do you want to eat?"
Seeing that she compromised, Igarashi Runa was relieved immediately, probably because she was no longer angry. She smiled and then picked up her cell phone and shook it.
After a week, the huge rock that had been hanging in my heart finally fell and I could finally hold my head high.
With her smug laughter, the atmosphere in the lounge became completely liberated and relaxed.
They were not very particular about what to eat for dinner. After all, they were not so upper-class that meals had to be complicated, so they just randomly chose home-cooked dishes.
…
As a first-class firm in the industry, Fantasy Star Agency always pays attention to every potential newcomer and popular trends in the society.
They will also pay attention to newcomers on YouTube, and if they have potential, they will consider signing them.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Mia Hamada had already returned home, but was still working in the study.
She sat in front of her laptop, her phone logged into the company's group chat software.
The chairman of Phantom Star Agency sent a voice message in the group chat: "At midnight, he introduced himself in Japanese, which means Japanese... I don't know who he is, can anyone guess?"
After listening to the voice message, Mia Hamada was about to say something when someone else took the lead.
"He's wearing a mask, and his piano skills are so strong. And it's happening at this time. Could he be the Kurosawa Hikaru who was rejected by Phantom Star?"
“This guy!”
Hearing this, Hamada Mia was immediately furious and frowned.
"Absolutely impossible. Kurosawa Hikaru's level is far inferior to his. The two are not even on the same level."
The next moment, she spoke on the phone, sending out a voice message that was extremely firm.
"They are indeed not on the same level. If Kurosawa Hikaru is a young genius, then this Reitoki is a piano master. Looking around Japan, there are only a handful of pianists who can be compared with him."
The chairman also understands music and agrees with her opinion.
Then, the chairman spoke again:
"Piano music has been silent for many years, but it still has such a terrifying energy. His appearance will probably bring a storm to the Japanese music scene... Go and contact him. Even if we can't cooperate, it won't hurt to try to make friends."
"Masked artists can actually burst out with such terrifying energy... I always feel that by missing out on Kurosawa Hikaru, we have missed a new flight in the piano world."
At this moment, the director who was at odds with her was making trouble again, saying some unpleasant words, but in fact he was making innuendos.
"Asshole, don't let me get the chance!"
Hearing such targeted and disgusting words, Hamada Mia glared and said fiercely.
