Now that the important matters concerning equity and interests had been settled, and since no one had any objections, the rest of the matter became relatively simple.
In terms of division of labor, Igarashi Runa is responsible for managing the company, most of the business, and the agency of Kurosawa Hikaru, while Ninomiya Chizuru helps out when she is free and stands behind the scenes.
As the first artist, Kurosawa Hikaru does not need to participate in the company's various businesses, but instead shines as the company's main product.
After agreeing on various matters, it is time to finalize the business operations.
"This is the image I thought of before. Let me see if you have any objections." Kurosawa Mitsuru took out a stack of papers and placed them on the table.
Hearing this, Igarashi Runa and Ninomiya Chizuru both came over to his side to watch.
There was a figure drawn on the first piece of paper.
He was wearing a tuxedo and a suit, and a gentleman's hat. Under the brim of the hat was a black mask covering his face. On it was a white circle, or rather a 0, with a few words written next to it: "Piano form."
This is not just a portrait, there are also various graphics next to it, such as a top view and a side view, which looks very elegant.
"In piano form, you're pretty chuunibyou."
When she saw the mark, Igarashi Runa laughed out loud.
"Hmm... The colors of this mask correspond to the black and white keys of the piano. There is another one."
Kurosawa Hikaru coughed a little awkwardly, then spread it out again.
In the second picture, the clothes have become more fashionable coats and jackets, the mask has become half-faced, the base color is blue, and the 0 has become bloody scarlet. The intense color contrast looks very cool.
Next to this picture, the words "singing form" are written.
"I'm not very knowledgeable... What do you think, Runa?"
When Ninomiya Chizuru saw the word "form", she was amused and her lips curled up slightly, so she asked.
"Putting aside the chuunibyou word 'form', it looks pretty cool. The image design is very good, and the two forms also have a contrast... Who helped you draw this?"
After laughing, Igarashi Runa looked at the two pictures carefully and began to appreciate them.
She could sense that if Kurosawa were to become a masked singer in these two forms, that sense of mystery would attract many fans, young and old.
“I drew it myself.”
"You can also draw? And you draw so well." Ninomiya Chizuru was a little surprised when she heard this.
The more she interacted with him and got along with him, the more she discovered that Kurosawa Hikaru was unexpectedly outstanding.
"It's fine."
"Here we go again... Never mind, let's not talk about this. Kurosawa, have you thought of a stage name?" Igarashi Runa was used to him saying this again and didn't delve into it further.
It's useless for a singer to know how to draw. The key point is that Kurosawa Hikaru wants to be a masked singer and can't appear on any variety shows, so it's even more useless.
"Zero hour." Kurosawa Hikaru had considered this before.
"Zero Hour? That's a bit subtle. Did you design this image based on the stage name?" Igarashi Runa pondered over the stage name.
For celebrities, there are many important factors.
Among all these, the stage name is more important than anything else. A catchy and unique stage name can be impressive and easier to remember.
"Yes, what I'm thinking is that if I have a concert one day, I will design a countdown on the stage, and when it reaches zero, I will appear on stage to the cheers of my fans."
"This is a good proposal, and it has a good sense of design. In this case, let's decide on zero hour."
Realizing what he was thinking, Igarashi Runa immediately snapped her fingers.
Unlike ordinary artists, Kurosawa has chosen a rather special path, with a designed image. If his work revolves around the element of zero, it would be a good choice.
"Okay." Ninomiya Chizuru nodded and had no objection to this.
"Next, there is one more crucial thing... What is the name of our firm?"
After deciding the matter, Igarashi Runa brought up another matter.
"I don't know much about the industry. You decide."
"Ditto."
Ninomiya Chizuru did not intend to express her opinion on these matters and chose to agree.
In fact, she doesn't know much about the entertainment industry.
"How is the Zero Hour Agency?"
Realizing that they all had no objection, Igarashi threw the question back to her, and after thinking about it, she made a suggestion.
"It's a bit subtle." Kurosawa Hikaru didn't know how to comment.
"How could that be? Whether our agency can become famous depends on Kurosawa... No, it depends on the fame of Lingshi. If we use this name, it may become a brand in the future."
"really."
"Is it really okay to be so careless?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was a little speechless when he found out that Ninomiya-sensei also agreed.
"Where is it careless? If you just call him Kurosawa Hikaru or Kurosawa Office, it's still a little subtle, but if you call him Zero Time, it directly represents an image, which is another matter."
Seeing that he had objections, Igarashi Runa immediately became anxious.
"That's true."
"It's settled, Zero Hour Agency."
“Pah pah pah pah!”
Seeing that she thought this was a good idea, Kurosawa Hikaru and Ninomiya Chizuru both had no objection and applauded in agreement.
"Now that we've finished talking about business, let's eat oden first."
After settling these matters, Igarashi Runa breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and started talking.
“When was the first shoot?”
Kurosawa Mitsuru picked up the oden on the table, ate a piece of white radish, and asked.
"I have to register the company first, rent a venue, purchase various equipment, and find someone to help you customize the costumes and props for the two forms. I can't start work until everything is ready... I've never done this before, and these things are all directly provided by the company, so I can't say how long it will take to complete. I'll let you know as soon as possible."
"Before that, is there anything I can do?"
Realizing that she was in charge of all these matters, Kurosawa Hikaru felt that he needed to do something.
You know, they are not just playing house or doing small things now, but are serious about starting a business.
"Of course you have to consider the performance, such as what to perform in the first video and whether we can do the second video. It depends on whether you can become popular on the Internet through the video."
“The first video…”
"How about Flight of the Bumblebee? I think it's pretty good. It's very powerful and definitely the type that young people like."
"Anyway, the work won't start so soon, I'll think about it."
Kurosawa Mitsuru did not agree directly. There was still a lot of time and there was no need to make a decision now.
“It would be best if it could cause a reaction and discussion, or have a shocking effect.”
Seeing that he was considering it, Igarashi Runa also made some suggestions.
"I see."
Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded, actually having an idea in his mind.
Maxim is a rock pianist who is not recognized by the classical music community because his works incorporate elements of modern pop music.
To insiders, his music is not classical piano music at all, but modern music.
But to outsiders, his works are well-known, and countless people are crazy about them and think they are super powerful.
Maksim has three famous songs, namely "Croatian Rhapsody", "Flight of the Bumblebee" and "Exodus".
He may have played other piano pieces, but these three are definitely the most famous.
This was the route that Kurosawa Hikaru had thought of before. I wonder if these three piano pieces can make the name "Zero Hour" amaze the whole world.
But before that, he still needs to meet with Shifengyuan Mirai first and try to upgrade the entry-level piano to a master-level piano. It won't be too late to make a decision then.
