Create MYGO second creation, but make them cry

Page 230

To be honest, this category is a niche market right now, and that's a fact.

“But if we compete in other fields, like pop music, our chances of becoming famous quickly are slim,” Xiangzi retorted.

"So, you're also gambling on this? What if you lose? Who's going to take responsibility? I don't have time to play house with you, Miss." Miao Mengqin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiangzi's veins bulged, but she still tried to reason with him.

"There's always a risk of failure in everything we do. We can't just do nothing because we're afraid of failure, right? We can only move forward in the direction where success is most likely. What I'm telling you now is so that you can understand and follow my lead..."

Just as Xiangzi was about to continue explaining, Miaomeng interrupted with a smile, saying, "Yes, there is a way that will definitely make the new band successful. Compared to your convoluted dark gothic style, the direction to success is right in front of us."

After saying that, Miao Meng smiled and looked in a certain direction, and the others, including Xiangzi, subconsciously followed her gaze.

And that direction was precisely towards Banami Yu.

Xiangzi, seemingly realizing something, stared wide-eyed at Miaomeng and said, "You, could it be that you want to..."

"It's that Masaka, don't you guys find it strange? We're standing here to build a commercially viable band that can make money. We have top-notch songs right here, but we subconsciously treat them as practice tracks. Don't you think that's a waste?"

Then, Miaomeng began her speech: "The Line," "Rainbow," "Under the Same Sky," "I Once Thought of Ending It All," "Call of Silence," and "To You at Fifteen."

Every song here is of such high quality that it could become a hit single. I can't even imagine how much of a stir our new band will make in the market if we package them up and release them all at once.

Moreover, "Line" and "Rainbow" had already been sung during the live stream, which already generated enough buzz to attract viewers and form the initial foundation for our band.

Don't you think this is the safest and fastest way for our band, which wants to make money, to commercialize?

After saying that, Miaomeng suddenly turned her head and looked at Xiangzi, whose face was somewhat pale.

"What do you think, Captain?"

She smiled. What dark gothic style? How stupid.

Chapter Nineteen: This Xiangzi is just lame.

Although they appeared to be at odds, everyone, including Shoko and Banami, seemed to have understood Yutenji Wakanagi's thoughts.

Instead of pursuing a dark gothic style that may or may not succeed, it would be better to take songs like Banami that have already been market-tested and shift the direction to pop rock.

Although there are indeed many similar bands in this category, and it's almost saturated, the original songs that Banami has produced are truly excellent, and they are able to carve out a piece of the pie in this red ocean.

Moreover, compared to Xiangzi's current situation where he only has an idea and hasn't even produced a corresponding song yet, Miaomeng's "crash course" plan is clearly more direct and reliable in terms of making money as a commercial goal.

At first, everyone thought that it was just that Nyanko disliked Shoko, but after hearing her explanation, they found that she was indeed "making a fuss for a reason". Although she also disliked Shoko, her idea was very reasonable, and even Hachiman Kairin was in deep thought.

Chu Hua looked at Xiangzi with some concern, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xiangzi frowned slightly, as if she was considering Miaomeng's words. Finally, she shook her head gently and said, "I disagree with Miss Youtianji's idea. We want to form our own band. How can we rely on Banami for everything?"

Moreover, the songs you mentioned earlier, while all good, are stylistically inconsistent..."

Or rather, it doesn't fit the aesthetic that Xiangzi's definition of a band can evoke.

“A lack of stylistic consistency is the norm for bands; no fan wants to hear homogenous songs from the artists they support.”

Miao Meng's rebuttal made Banami nod in agreement. Before he transmigrated, he had heard of a band that sang theme songs for anime.

It sounds good, but the style of that band's songs is almost the same no matter how many you listen to, eventually making him feel a bit tired of it.

But Xiangzi frowned and said, "Don't confuse the concepts. A unified style and homogenization are not the same thing. For example..."

Just as Xiangzi was about to retort, Miaomeng delivered the fatal blow: "Then can you produce two songs now, songs from your so-called dark gothic style band?"

Xiangzi choked for a moment, his cheeks turning slightly red.

After their argument, everyone understood the crux of the matter, which, in layman's terms, was...

Xiangzi wanted to stand tall and earn money, not only to make money but also to carry out his musical ideals.

But Miaomeng is simpler. They can kneel, but they must make money. As long as they have a ready-made hit song, the band's popularity will rise.

Just then, Hachiman Kairin, who was an "outsider," gently raised her hand and said, "I understand Ms. Yutenji's idea, but there is a problem. Even if we can package the song we just practiced into our first album, can we maintain the same level and quality for our second and third albums?"

From an "outsider's" perspective, Hai Ling's idea is quite reasonable. After all, what Miao Mengqin said makes sense. Xiangzi's idea is slow to take effect, but once the unified musical concept is established in the initial stage, the subsequent creation will be much simpler.

While bands like Yutenji Wakana gain popularity quickly, if they don't produce high-quality songs in the future, they will only die out faster than bands conceived by Toyokawa Shoko.

Hearing Hai Ling's question, Miao Meng smiled smugly and even asked Banami with a hint of pride, "Xi, if you adopt my method, will you be able to produce songs as excellent as before?"

Miao Meng paused for a moment, then said to Hachiman Kairin with a boastful air, "Miss Hachiman, let me tell you, the songs I just presented, as well as the songs that Misumi Hatsuka presented, were actually created by Hanami. Don't you think that this is the truly unique resource that our band possesses?"

A truly talented musician is a rare find for any band.

Despite having such excellent resources, they insist on their own dark gothic style. In Yutenji Meowmu's opinion, this is not only a waste of resources, but also a sign that someone is out of their mind.

Hachiman Kairin glanced at Banami Yuu and then said softly, "If that's the case, I have no objection."

Then she took a step back, and her statement was quite intriguing. She simply said that she had no opinion, which meant that she was not on Miaomeng's side, but rather that she agreed that Miaomeng's idea was also feasible.

As if pressing her advantage, Nyanmu asked, "Hanami, what's the answer to the question from earlier?"

Will we be able to produce equally excellent songs in the future?

Banami glanced subconsciously at Xiangzi, who was pursing her lips. At this moment, if it were to support Xiangzi, or rather, if it was necessary for the new band to be formed according to the style of Mother Hen, he should have denied it, but...

"Okay, sure," Banami said softly.

Xiangzi clenched her fists slightly, but said nothing, because she knew better than anyone that Banami was indeed capable.

His mind contained a complete library of popular music from another world; that was the inexhaustible treasure trove within Banami Yuuki.

Xiangzi did consider the possibility of Banami at first, but in the end, she still wanted to forge her own path.

A musical path of her own that is not entirely dependent on boys.

But she forgot that a band is not a one-man band.

She didn't expect that the first step in forming a band, getting everyone's opinions to be so difficult.

Xiangzi saw the apologetic look that Banami gave him, and he naturally understood what kind of answer would be best for her, but in the end he still told the truth.

Xiangzi didn't blame him; or rather, she understood his thoughts.

He respected the thoughts of every girl present, not just himself, but also Miaomengqin, who seemed to be the villain.

Moreover, Miaomengqin is only pretending to oppose me now; her proposed plan is actually quite reasonable, and it seems to have a greater chance of success.

Just as Xiangzi remained silent, Miaomeng revealed an amused expression, and the two seemed to be locked in a stalemate.

After all, both sides had valid points, and it was impossible to determine who was better at the moment.

To Banami's surprise, the biggest obstacle to the establishment of the Mother Chicken Card became him.

To be honest, if it weren't for him, Meow Dream wouldn't have had the confidence to propose the Frankenstein's monster solution; she would most likely have ended up going for the style of Mother Chicken Card.

Miao Meng said with a smile, "Since we have different opinions, to be fair, during the next practice session, all band members except for Banami should vote to see whose opinion everyone agrees with."

Upon hearing this suggestion, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

Or rather, no one understood why Yutenji Wakami would propose such a plan that he was bound to lose.

Chapter Twenty Jealousy

They are a five-member band, so there is absolutely no possibility of a tie if there is a vote.

However, this new band was originally organized by Toyokawa Shoko, and both Mitsumi Hatsuka and Wakaba Mutsumi were Toyokawa Shoko's friends.

On the contrary, Yutenji Wakana and Hachiman Kairin seem to be newcomers.

Therefore, if the decision were made by voting, Ruoye Mu and Sanjiao Chuhua would definitely vote for Xiangzi and support her idea.

Looking at Yutenji Wakana with a smile on her face, Toyokawa Shoko had no idea what she was thinking.

"Well, Captain, does anyone else agree with this proposal?" Ruomai couldn't help but ask softly.

"Is abstention allowed in the voting?" Yawata Kairin asked at that moment.

Ruomai said with a smile, "Of course, this is a democratic vote. However, no matter who wins, everyone must accept the result of the vote."

Hai Ling nodded gently and said, "That's only natural."

She still seemed like an observer; she had no intention of getting involved in the power struggle between Xiangzi and Youtiansi Ruomai.

That's right. Although the two seem to be arguing about musical ideas, it is actually a power struggle within the new band. Although Ruomai keeps calling Xiangzi the captain, what she is doing is undoubtedly seizing power.

If she wins the vote, then from now on, Yutenji Wakana will naturally be in charge of the band.

Xiangzi pursed her lips slightly, feeling two pairs of gazes from Ruoye Mu and Chuhua, and Chuhua looked very worried.

She said calmly, "I'm fine with it too, let's do it this way."

Or rather, in order to reach a consensus with the new band and to gain the approval of Yutenji Wakana, she had no choice but to agree.

Moreover, she couldn't think of any way she could lose if the outcome was decided by voting.

Hearing Xiangzi's answer, Miaomeng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and shouted, "Yay, today's practice is finally over, Captain, is there anything else for now?"

"Hmm... Ah..." Xiangzi said, a beat late.

Unlike her earlier aggressive demeanor, Miaomeng walked briskly out of the underground music room. Soon after, she pulled in Ruoye Mutsu's mother, Mori Minami, and called out, "Everyone, want to watch a movie together?"

"A movie?" Chu Hua asked, slightly puzzled.

As a result, Minami poked her head out from behind Meow Dream with a smile and said, "It's a movie appreciation event. The main thing is that I have Blu-ray copies of all the movies where I played the female lead at home."

Everyone must be tired from practicing, so let's relax together.

From the moment they met until now, this Mrs. Wakaba... or rather, the woman named Minami Mori, has shown great kindness to everyone in the band. Therefore, although they found the request a bit strange, they did not refuse.

***

"It's amazing, absolutely amazing! Minami-chan... no, it's that Minami-chan's portrayal of Ms. O-Shin, who has such a difficult life, is so strong and brave. I'm really, really moved."

Contrary to her earlier aggressive attitude, when watching the movie starring Minami, Miaomengqin appeared genuinely moved, wasting many tissues in the process.

Sitting next to her, Minami Mori was equally moved to tears, even though it was a movie she starred in.

This reminded Banami of his first novel, which could be considered his debut work.

Looking at the extremely long paragraphs in the first chapter of the novel that were completely unbroken, he himself felt it was difficult to keep up. The main focus was on emotions without any technique, but it still made Banami exclaim that it was awesome.

Wow, who wrote such an amazing plot? It made my nose tingle.

Oh, it's me. Never mind then.

Therefore, Hanami is actually the only one who can somewhat understand why Minami can cry while watching her own movies.

However… his gaze involuntarily shifted from Meow Mew and Minami Mori to Mutsuka Wakaba. Compared to the excited Meow Mew, she was simply watching calmly.

Compared to Mutsuka Wakaba, Miyako is more like Minami Mori's daughter.

But that's just a resemblance.

Looking at Wakaba Mutsu's slightly trembling lips, if you listen carefully, you can actually tell that it's a line from the movie "Oshin's Story".

"Even so, tomorrow will still come," Wakaba Mutsu said in a weak voice.

“Even so, tomorrow will still come,” Minami, who plays Oshin in the movie, added.

However, it seems that no one except for Banami noticed this scene.

Banami watched with great interest the strange relationship between the Wakaba mother and daughter.

A short while later, he left the screening room and went to the restroom.

However, when he came out, he saw that Yutenji Wakana had also come out at some point and was standing in front of the restroom, seemingly waiting for him.

"Thank you for what you said earlier," Miao Meng said softly, her tone completely different from when she was facing Xiangzi earlier.

Banami tilted her head slightly: "What are you thanking me for?"

"Still playing dumb? You could have clearly said earlier that you might not be able to produce any excellent songs in the future."

In that case, the balance of power between the two would naturally tip in Xiangzi's favor.

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Aren't you worried that Toyokawa Shoko will be angry with you?" Meow Dream asked, squinting her eyes gently.

“Well…but Ms. Daisho will understand me; she’s a very reasonable person,” Hanami said matter-of-factly.

But when Yutenji Wakana heard him say that, her eyes suddenly reddened, and she bit her lip as if she was unwilling.

This immediately made Banami panic: "No, she can cry like that?"

But Meow Dream took the initiative to hug Banami and said, "If you had answered 'no' just now, Banami, I think I would have been very angry, unlike Toyokawa Shoko, because I am not the kind of person who is reasonable."

Banai opened her mouth, unsure of what to say. Just now, Meow Dream had been very assertive in front of Toyokawa Shoko, but now she seemed as fragile as glass.
