The filming in the afternoon went smoothly and it passed smoothly in the first round. After the director shouted, he praised with praise: "It's great, the state is getting so fast."

"Thank you, director, it should." Ye Zhao said modestly, looking over the director, seeing Kudo Shiori sitting on a chair outside the set, holding a mineral water bottle and drinking water, paused for a moment, and quickly moved away.

Although Ye Zhao is not an old driver, he is not a young man who has never seen the world. He would never be nervous and nervous because he was kissed by an 18-year-old girl. Instead, because of this episode, when filming, when facing Kudo Shiori, his expression became much more relaxed and natural, at least it seemed that people knew that they wanted to confess their love, not borrow money.

The last scene was in the evening. Before dusk came, the crew had to wait first. If you treat experienced actors, such a short advertisement would be enough for only the afternoon, but who made Ye Zhao a newbie with inexperienced?

Shiori Kudo has another filming work next. Since she has no more shots, she doesn't have to accompany her here. So after explaining to the director, she left the set under the guidance of her agent. Before leaving, Shiori Kudo said goodbye to the crew staff. When he came to Ye Zhao, he just bowed and said politely: "I'm glad to be able to work with you, goodbye." His obedient and restrained look seemed to be two people with the little devil-like girl in the lounge.

Just as Ye Zhao didn't take the matter at noon seriously, Shiori Kudo didn't take it seriously. For her, it might be a whim joke, or she might have had a little affection for Ye Zhao at a certain moment, but just like a young man who played the truth-telling adventure game in a karaoke box, this intimate contact is just an afterthought outside of work.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, it gradually became darker.

The last scene is also the simplest scene in the entire advertisement. Ye Zhao just needs to walk on the street in a frustrated look, and then take it out when the BP machine in his pocket sounds.

In order to shoot this scene, the crew blocked a street with a small traffic, and found dozens of temporary actors who pretended to be passers-by to create a feeling of a bustling street.

Ye Zhao of course made a pass in such a simple scene. After the director announced the end, his first reaction was to quickly take off the coat from his school uniform and wear it like this in June, and his shirt inside would be soaked in sweat.

As a celebration banquet after the filming, the crew booked a small Japanese restaurant in Asakusa. Kudo Shiori left the stage early, and the staff in the crew didn't know each other. At most, Kyohei Inamura, who was the director, had met Ye Zhao at the selection meeting. In this case, Ye Zhao was of course focused on dealing with the food in front of him and pretending to be transparent.

After some staff members began to leave the venue one after another, Ye Zhao, who had enough food and drink, also stood up and said goodbye. Inamura Kyohei asked politely whether to send someone to take him back. Of course, Ye Zhao would not agree without a wink, but left the restaurant alone and took the tram back to the apartment.

...

Apollo Records is located in Shimura Sanchome, an old four-story office building that looks shabby and inconspicuous. On the second day after the advertisement was completed, Ye Zhao brought the music score and found it at the address on Arakawa and Shi's business card.

The reception desk of Apollo Records was two girls in their twenties, both with ponytails and black hair, which looked like a pair of sisters at first glance. Because he had called Arakawa and Shi in advance before coming here, Ye Zhaogang reported his name, and one of the front desks took him to the second floor with affectionate attitude and came outside Arakawa and Shi's office.

Arakawa and Shi, who were standing in front of the window, made a gesture of waiting after seeing Ye Zhao. In addition to Arakawa and Shi, there were two staff members in the office, one man and one woman. They were sitting in front of their office work, processing documents. Ye Zhao came in, and the two looked up and glanced at him, but did not show curiosity.

About ten minutes later, Arakawa and Shi finished the phone call, greeted Ye Zhao with a smile to the reception desk near the window of the office, and personally made two cups of coffee, "Welcome to you, but I am still impressed by your performance."

"Thank you." Ye Zhao took the coffee, "I came today to talk to you about the publication of underground singles."

"No problem, but before that, I have to talk to you about the various matters of publishing underground records." Arakawa Kazushi explained, "Strictly speaking, Apollo Records is just a distribution company. Although we can contact you with the recording studio and the printing factory, since the company itself does not have these two businesses, you have to pay an additional agency fee in addition to the recording fee, distribution fee, and printing fee. In addition, due to the cost, the starting volume of the record cannot be less than 1,500 copies."

When publishing underground records as an outsider, he may think it is a very simple thing when watching the fun, but in practice, it is much more troublesome than imagined. And compared to the troubles, what makes Ye Zhao feel even more unsure is whether the million yen in his pocket is enough.

"Mr. Arakawa, if you start printing at 2,000 copies, how much does it cost to release a single?"

"Well," Arakawa Kazushi got up, went to his desk to get a calculator and paper, and listed the fees one by one.

"The rental fee for an ordinary studio is about 12,000 yen per hour. According to the time you use it, if you need musicians to accompaniment, you will have to pay a commission. If you need to arrange the music, the arrangement of underground records will be bought out in one go, so you will have to pay about 80,000 to 120,000 yen per song. As for the budget for shooting PVs and covers, it depends on what you plan to do. Besides, printing, the cost of a disc is about 15 to 30 yen according to the quality, and each CD box is about 60 yen. In addition to the budget for music, plus the commission and agency fees given to us..." Arakawa and Shi Pili pressed a calculator and reported a number: "One hundred, one hundred, eighteen thousand yen."

Ye Zhao picked up the atomic pen on the table and first crossed out the musician accompaniment and arrangement. "I can solve the musician and arrangement myself," and crossed out the PV shooting item. "It's just an underground single, and it doesn't matter if the PV is not shot." The pen tip paused on the cover design for two seconds and cut it off together: "I will provide the cover too."

"In this case..." Arakawa and Shi reduced the fees for these three items, "820,000 yen." He paused, "In addition, I will give you another discount. How about 790,000 yen?"

Ye Zhao nodded. Seventy-nine thousand yen was already a fair price. Although this price was based on his ability to arrange and accompaniment, and it did not include recording fees.

At present, Ye Zhao drafted a contract with Arakawa and Shi, agreeing that Apollo Records will provide recording equipment, CD production and distribution channels, and the distribution scope will be limited to 392 record stores in the Tokyo circle; Ye Zhao is responsible for the lyrics, composition and arrangement of the singles, and has its own accompaniment musician and record cover.

After confirming some details, Ye Zhao signed the contract and paid the signing fee of 150,000 yen in advance. As for the time to officially enter the studio to record, it is necessary to wait until Ye Zhao finds Qi Lizhe before making an appointment.

If the main theme of a song is a person's appearance, then the arrangement is his skeleton, and the accompaniment is his temperament. In fact, both of the three are indispensable. With Ye Zhao's current ability, he can barely be able to arrange a song that is not too complicated, but it is absolutely impossible to do something like a person who organizes an instrument to play. Therefore, he must seek additional help.
