After chatting, Sakai Izumizu returned to the recording studio to continue her recording. Ye Zhao also came to the console, put on her headphones, and sounded her recording just now over and over again.

"The relationship in the chorus part seems to be a bit inadequate, so I'd better re-record it later."

From "Summer Color" to "Singer's Love Songs", Ye Zhao, who has officially become a professional singer, has the most significant change that the time it takes to record the song is getting longer and longer. At the beginning, he was just pursuing his own faults, but now he has begun to find his own faults. Even if it is just a little emotional inadequate, he will overturn it and start over.

Of course, this change is definitely a good change. No matter when, it is a basic morality to be respectful of one's profession.

At four o'clock in the morning, the last round of recording ended. Ye Zhao came to the recording studio of Sakai Izumizu. Assistant Miss Imai was waiting outside. When she saw Ye Zhao, she quickly greeted him: "Ye Zhaosang."

"Ms. Sakai is still recording?" Ye Zhao unconsciously lowered his voice.

"Yes, it will take about an hour."

"My recording has ended and I'm going back soon. Please help me convey it."

"Received." Miss Imai made a naughty salute and was completely used to Ye Zhao asking her to say hello. Since the two of them had the habit of visiting each other, Ye Zhao would come and inform him every time he left early, so as not to let Sakai Izumi escape.

"By the way," Ye Zhao handed over the canned coffee in his hand, "This is for Miss Imai, thank you for your hard work."

...

Two days later, Yukihiko Tsuki called and made an appointment with Ye Zhao to meet at a small bar in Ginza.

At nine o'clock in the evening, after a round of recording, Ye Zhao took a taxi to the place he agreed with Yukihiko Tetsu. There was only a long bar in the small bar that could accommodate about a dozen people. The dark countertops and seats looked quite old. Yukihiko Tetsu asked for iced whiskey, Ye Zhao ordered brandy and drank wine. The two chatted about daily life such as weather, and then slowly turned to the topic.

"Ye Jun, I took the script back and watched it overnight. I watched it twice afterwards, which is really interesting." Yukihiko Tsuki, "This is not so much a youth film, but rather a reflection of society. And one thing I think is that although it is a multi-line parallel group drama, it does not have that kind of messy feeling at all, even..." Yukihiko Tsuki thought for a while, "It's even like there's a flowing picture in front of me. I really can't believe that this was a newcomer who was inexperienced."

Ye Zhao smiled implicitly and did not respond.

"However, if you just write it out and do nothing, even I feel it's a pity." Tsuki Yukihiko suggested at this time, "If Ye Jun is interested, should you send the script to NTV? Now TV stations are seizing the film market, and NTV also invests in many movies every year. It just so happens that Ye Jun has cooperated with NTV more frequently recently. This book is so great and should be favored."

"Ti Sang, actually, I plan to invest in this movie myself."

Yukihiko Tachi's face was unabashedly surprised, "Ye Jun, are you sure you are not joking? Although it seems now that this movie is not a big production. If this theme is well filmed, it may win some awards, but the risks to take in box office are really too great. Especially for cross-border newcomers like you, once the investment fails, it is not only as simple as losing funds, but you will endure considerable doubts for a long time. So, I suggest you better consider it again."

"It is incredible that a singer suddenly wants to cross-border movies. If he wants to attract sponsorship, it will probably be ten times more difficult than others." Perhaps in other countries, such "versatile" will attract attention, but for Japanese people who are rigid and conservative in their bones, investing in laymen is a loss-making business that does not meet their safe standards.

"And, even if I send this script to NTV and agree to invest for me, the risk I have to bear is indeed reduced, but what else is left to me in this movie? Making a movie is still a very mysterious thing for me. I want to untie the veil of mystery and get close to its core part. So I want to make a movie in my heart with the greatest freedom, not just providing a bare script."

"Ye Jun, you are really..." Tsuki Yukihiko thought for a moment and smiled bitterly: "It's really like you said yourself, your body is full of uneasiness."

"There is a saying that goes, 'It is better to carry the same anxiety as wolves than to buy a pig.' Uneasy will bring vitality, and vitality will bring infinite possibilities, right?" Ye Zhao joked without caring.

When Ye Zhao's words come to the ears of others, he will probably classify him as an adventurer who likes speculation in a derogatory manner. But the wonder is that Yukihiko Tetsu is also a uneasy director. Otherwise, he would not have discussed the feasibility of this script with Ye Zhao so seriously.

After thinking about it, Tsuki Yukihiko asked as if he had confirmed, "Ye Jun really planned to invest in the movie himself?"

"Yes." Ye Zhao replied immediately.

"If this is the case," Yukihiko Tetsu's expression became serious, "Then can I direct the director of the movie?" After reading this script, Yukihiko Tetsu was deeply attracted. At this moment, he didn't care about the difference between the two of them. He asked him frankly.

Faced with Yukihiko’s request, Ye Zhao did not answer “yes” or “no”, and did not even say “think about it”, but asked: “Is Tae Sang willing to be an executor?”

"What does it mean?" Tsuki Yukihiko was a little puzzled.

"I have already had a complete idea from beginning to end of this movie, from shooting to post-editing editing. It can even be said that the entire flowing picture of this script now exists in my mind. I want to control everything about this movie throughout the process, which is one of the reasons why I would rather invest in it myself. So, what I need is a director who can help me and create the pictures in my mind with me."

Ye Zhao took a sip of brandy, "Ti Sang is also proud of being a director. If you don't explain this matter clearly, it would be too rude to Ti Sang. So, Ti Sang is willing to give up his style and just be an executor of my will?"

"This..." Tsukiyuki hesitated.

"So, please think about it carefully." Ye Zhao suggested.

Next, the two of them continued two more cups together. Ye Zhao looked at the watch. It was already eleven o'clock in the night. "The time is almost over, Di Sang..."

Walking out of the small bar, Di Sang suddenly suggested, "Can Ye tell me the flowing picture in your mind? If this idea seems feasible to me, I am willing to be the executor."

Yukihiko Tsuki was a late-studded director. He was not considered famous until he filmed the movie "Kinda Ichiko's Event Book" movie. But before that, all he could come into contact with was either such a low-cost comic adaptation or a bad movie made by the production committee with pitifully small funds.

Now, since he has encountered a script he likes, and Ye Zhao wants to invest himself without worrying about funds, Tsuki Yukihiko also wants to seize this rare opportunity. This is also the time when he is still unknown. In a few years, if he hears such domineering conditions, no matter how good the book is, he will be exempted from talking about it.

"Since that's the case, DiSang, let's find a place to renew it, right?"

"Well, there is no need to drink. Find a quiet place and let's discuss it."

...

In Akasaka's karaoke box, Ye Zhao told Tsuki Yukihiko the picture in his mind about "I heard that Kirishima wants to retire" in an oral way. The oral scenes that already existed were much easier than imagined, so they were expressed more clearly. After listening to Ye Zhao's idea carefully, Tsuki Yukihiko nodded, "It's very interesting. If you take this shot, I think it would become a good movie, but this theme is not a theme that is suitable for both young and old, so it's hard to say how impressive it will be in the box office. It would be good to be able to maintain ordinary pure love and campus films."

"Ti Sang thinks, how much does this movie need to be invested?"

Yukihiko Tsuki thought for a while, "Why would it cost 100 million yen? Although there is no big scene and the expenses will not be much, it is also quite expensive in terms of the pay for technicians and actors such as lighting engineers and cameramen. Since it is a theme based on campus, a large number of extras and the real scenes of the school are also indispensable."

"100 million yen... Even if calculated based on the simplest and most rough production cost, it will cost more than 300 million yen to make a profit." Ye Zhao, who has not yet been exposed to this aspect, could only make a general calculation in his mind.

"What, do you feel the pressure?"

“The pressure is of course there is always every moment.”

"It's still time to repent now, and everything is just a matter of paper."

"How could I go back on my word? If I go back on my word, what will my efforts become now?" Ye Zhao smiled, "And, life is always 50% positive and negative." After saying that, he brought the topic back to the movie. "Not to mention the technical staff, you must use experienced veterans. As for the actors, I plan to use all newcomers."

"Enable all newcomers?"

Ye Zhao nodded, "It doesn't have to be completely blank in the resume. As long as one or two of them are a little famous, I'm going to put the audition target among the newcomers from various offices. So there shouldn't be much pressure in terms of pay."

"Actually, I thought of someone about Maeda's actor candidate." Yukihiko Tsuki, "Don't Ye Jun think that Takako can be competent for this role? Needless to say, his acting skills are an idol, but they will not make people prejudice at all. In terms of age, they are almost the same as Maeda's."

"Even if you don't mention Gangjun's current popularity and bad character, Johnnys is willing to let such a famous artist participate in the performance of a small-budget movie," Ye Zhao showed a subtle smile. "Ti Sang, an idol with a glitter in reality, plays a ridiculed waste, no matter what I think, it feels a bit ironic. As long as I see Gangjun's face, I will think, 'Ah, how can such a guy be unpopular'."

"That's right, you can't use a person who describes vulgarity as the protagonist, right?" Tsukiyuki questioned.

"There's no need. As long as the newcomer with a little simple temperament and solid acting skills, it's good." Ye Zhao said, "As for the actual scene of the school, it's not necessarily around Tokyo. Even at the edge of the Kanto Circle, it's a little remote place. It would be great if you can get help from the school club. Moreover, since it's a story based on the club, if you have this talent in the selection of actors, you can also give priority to it."

"By the way, although Ye Jun intends to be wholly owned, I still recommend that you negotiate with NTV." Tsukihiko suggested, "There is a natural advantage when TV stations enter the film industry. They have a complete studio and a large number of experienced technicians, so if they can get help from NTV, it will definitely be beneficial. Although these things are entrusted to film production companies and leasing their equipment and technicians, since Ye Jun has a cooperative relationship with NTV, there will be benefits in terms of specific details."

"This is, anyway, I have to seek help in this area. It's better to ask for the more familiar NTV." Ye Zhao pointed to himself and looked at Yukihiko Tetsu, "It's not only me, but also Tysang and NTV are very familiar."

"And if NTV can get assistance, after the film is completed, a series of publicity before and after the release will be very guaranteed. Maybe even those ace variety shows can be played." Tsukiyuki said this and couldn't help laughing: "Now, who is saying these words, is like an unrealistic boy."
