Chapter 139 Rich and willful
After saying goodbye to Ye Zhao at that time, as he said, Watanabe returned to his hometown in Kyoto from Tokyo, rented the first floor of the Sanjo Tomorinaga Building in Nakagawa District, and opened a club called Shinkawa.
The club's name is taken from the song "Shit Lightning" of the Blue Heart Band. Watanabe Rik himself is a huge fan of the Blue Heart Band. At that time, it was because he heard the famous song "Linda, Linda" of the Blue Heart Band during his last summer vacation in high school that he was deeply moved and decided to do music-related work.
Ye Zhao Youyan first took the lead in the MV of "Singer's Love Songs". He just needed to use a studio or club stage to simply shoot a promotional LIVE video. So he contacted Watanabe Riku, and after getting his consent, he used the club as the shooting location for this MV.
Of course, if you came from Tokyo just to borrow a club stage, it would not only mobilize people, but also contrary to Ye Zhao's initial idea of trying to save trouble. In fact, the most important purpose of coming to Kansai this time was to go to Osaka Festival hall in Osaka for a field investigation of the concert venue.
Checking the concert venue and shooting MV on the spot, if these two events are combined, this trip to Kyoto and Osaka immediately enriched a lot. Of course, for Ye Zhao, after these two reasons, there is another personal significance, that is, meeting Watanabe Ru again. In his heart, the weight of Watanabe Ru's friend is definitely very important.
After getting off the car, Ye Zhao handed over the paper bag he had just put on his lap, "Brother Watanabe, this is a gift for you and Miss Naoko."
Ru Watanabe took the paper bag, opened a corner slightly and looked at it. It was a beautifully packaged Western-style dessert box.
"I think Brother Watanabe must have everything, so I didn't bring anything else. I just bought snacks from the cake shop near Tokyo Station. I remember that Brother Watanabe and Miss Naoko were both loyal fans of that store, right?"
Watanabe Ryu smiled, "You still remember these. This gift is really great, because it can only be eaten in Tokyo. Although the transportation is very convenient now, if I want to go to Tokyo for a snack, I will never be able to do it anyway."
The staff who BEING followed went to Osaka with him to confirm the concert venue. The one who was really responsible for the MV shooting was the Osaka team that had worked with BEING many times, but they would not arrive later.
Before they arrived, Watanabe Rik took everyone to visit.
The club can accommodate about 200 people, and there is no seat inside. When there is no performance during the day, it looks a bit empty. There is a handwritten prompt sign at the entrance: "Jumping is forbidden".
"Hey? Can't jump in the club? Wouldn't that be a little boring?"
Ru Watanabe explained with a smile: "This is a request made by the real estate agency. Because he is worried that it will disturb the public."
"Miss Naoko is also going to work today?" Ye Zhao stopped by the wall and looked at the full posters of bands and singers posted on it. These were all private collections of Watanabe Riki.
"Well, wait until the night, if you are not in a hurry to leave, you can meet her." Shortly after Watanabe Riku returned to Kyoto, Naoko Asakura also submitted a request for transfer to the Osaka branch. Just so happened that her publishing house had always regarded the transfer to the branch as being thrown into the cold palace, and she was not an indispensable backbone, so this request was easily approved.
"It takes about forty minutes to take the tram from Osaka to Kyoto, right? Miss Naoko is really hard." Ye Zhao calculated in his mind. "By the way, when will the wedding be held?"
On June 28 this year, Naoko Watanabe and Naoko Asakura officially entered into the naturalization of Naoko Asakura's birthday. Although the wedding has not been held yet, in terms of law, Naoko Asakura has now become Naoko Watanabe.
Watanabe Lu showed a happy smile, "It has been decided to hold the anniversary of her acquaintance on December 19th. In addition to the relatives of both sides holding a ceremony in the hotel, some friends in the underground music circle here have also agreed to hold a celebration for us in this club. Ye Jun, if you have time, come and have fun?"
"It goes without saying that. I will spare time for the wedding and the day of LIVE, no matter what," Ye Zhao agreed readily, "After that, Brother Watanabe's life is really fun no matter when."
"Because there are few people as willful as me." Watanabe Riku said.
"That's true." Ye Zhao nodded. As a real tycoon who owns a whole rental apartment and several pieces of land in Kyoto, he is also the only son of the family. His rich family background gives him the capital to be willful. He has money, leisure and support him. No matter which of these three things are missing, it is difficult to live so casually.
"By the way, I gave you that bass last time. Didn't you say you wanted to learn to play? How is the progress?" asked Ruo Watanabe, "You have so many top musicians around you now. It's much easier to learn an instrument than an ordinary person."
Ye Zhao stretched out his left hand, "This is a proof of serious practice. As for the progress, the teacher who taught me to arrange the music was a bassist. According to him, he could almost take advantage of the troubled waters during the performance."
The master Akishi Masao Akashi is a bassist. When he learned that Ye Zhao had been seeking guidance from the company's bassists from time to time, he directly carried him to the practice room, calling it a test of his bass level, and then gave the above evaluation.
With Ye Zhao just a few months in contact with bass, and he could only learn it when he was free, it was already very good to get this evaluation. Although it is easier to get started with bass, the difficulties you have to overcome in real life are not less than any other instrument if you really want to play it well. It is also a very polite evaluation to be able to be said by a professional bassist, "You can get through the performance."
Having said that, if you want to be a arranger, you must master four or five instruments.
About fifteen minutes later, in the club's lounge, Watanabe Rik had served the brewed coffee, and the staff accompanied him received a call, and the MV shooting team was about to arrive immediately.
"I'll go out to greet you." After hanging up the phone, the staff member named Ueda owed and hurried out.
"Although we are a little sorry for Brother Watanabe's labor, we can't just sit here and wait." Ye Zhao put down his cup.
"The important thing is important, let's go out first." Watanabe Riki took the lead in standing up.
