Chapter 192: Two in One
“Action!”
"...As it turns out, it's so handsome." Ryo Maeda also held the camera and swept across Kikuchi Hiroki from head to toe, saying so in a slightly envious tone. But that kind of envy was like aspiring to own a motorcycle with beautiful lines.
"Shirtful?" Kikuchi Hiroshu was surprised for a moment. Then, a deep sorrow that was indescribable surged into his heart.
" はい ~ OK!"
...
"It's really great to choose to film this scene at dusk." After shouting, Ye Zhao took out his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped off the tears that had just flowed out of his "acting skills burst".
"How to say it?"
"How to say it, at dusk, you can easily feel a sense of inexplicable emptiness. Faced with such emptiness, and being replaced by the role of "Kikichi Hiroki", it becomes much easier to get into the role. If it is morning, it will be much more troublesome to cry. Even the morning before the end of the summer vacation, I don't feel sad at all."
"Because you were the type of sighing on the morning of the first day of school?" Tsukihiko teased him.
Ye Zhao shook his head, "I won't sigh because I don't want to study."
...
With the last sound of " はい ~ OK!", Yukihiko Tsuki was shouted out. A week before the concert, the filming of the film that took three months was finally announced to be completed.
The staff gave him the bouquet that had been prepared, and Ye Zhao also gave him the gift that belonged to Tomoto. Although Johnnys's portrait rights were very troublesome, when it was confirmed that it would not be disclosed, Tomoto's agent still allowed Ye Zhao to take a few photos, so in this album, Tomoto's appearance was also featured.
"When they have become adults in ten years or ten years, they will be able to issue them." Ye Zhao narrowed his eyes.
"I think of those things now, will it be a bit far away?" Domoto just flipped through the album and chatted with him.
"Although it sounds very far, it's still very close. But, a little regretful, your photos inside cannot be published publicly."
"Yes...but there is nothing to do about this."
"So, if you really buy this photo book, you will only see me who always stays next to the girl." Ye Zhao joked without hesitation, "Maybe their fans will be treated as bad-hearted guys, cut my photos and nailed them to the dart bullseye, and then ranked on the top three of the most annoying celebrities that year."
"It sounds a little pitiful." Domoto said with a smile.
The publication of photo books or the list of the most annoying celebrities is still something that is not practical. What to say is the most practical is that the first movie Ye Zhao participated in the production of his life has finally completed the most important step, although there are also various processes such as editing, soundtracks, and post-production. After these processes are completed, there will also be contacting the film distribution company to conduct theater distribution, as well as movie promotion and other matters.
At this time, you will know what the benefits of hugging the TV station are. When NTV is bound to the production committee, these originally troublesome things can be shared. For ignorant newcomers, it is really good.
As for what cakes should be distributed to others, etc. If you want to eat them alone, you have to wait until you have such a good appetite. In a strict and self-contained entertainment industry, the kind of taking the initiative to monopolize the power, unless you never touch a higher place, compromise is necessary.
As powerful as Zhou Fangyu Xiong, even if he established the largest empire in the art world, he would not be able to unify the world.
...
In the third week of the release of Kawamoto Makoto's debut single "Love Talent", her ranking rose again, from the 19th place in the second week to the 14th place, and her sales also rose slightly by 2,000 copies, selling more than 31,000 copies, with a cumulative sales of nearly 90,000 copies. A newcomer's debut single can get such a terrifying trend, and the name Kawamoto Makoto suddenly attracted much attention. When the advertisement that used her single was officially aired at the end of October, it was expected that her momentum would reach its peak.
At this time, the music magazine "What's in" published by Sony also published a small interview about Kawamoto Makoto. In it, she introduced in detail that she was a "professional" from a short-term music university. Not only did she have excellent guitar skills, she also played the piano well. She had already created dozens of original works before her debut.
In addition, there are also some ideas about how she met Ye Zhao, as well as some ideas about her debut single. Overall, it is an exclusive interview with the most comprehensive understanding of her at this stage.
In the eyes of the general public, the desire to peek at public figures has never been cut off, or in other words, the fire of gossip is always burning in their hearts. Therefore, in an era when it is impossible to view singer information conveniently and quickly, such small interviews have always been very popular.
When Kawamoto's name gradually became louder, her second single was immediately put on the agenda. For singers, the collection and release of records have always been continuous, not to say that they have to release a new single on a certain day of a certain month, and then temporarily find a songwriter to write songs, record songs, and contact promotions.
The production team standing behind the singers was doing this series of things for them while the singers were spending holidays casually.
No matter how much she can sell her debut single, even if her first single sells 300, her second single and first album will have to continue even if she signs a three-point record production agreement.
However, if she really debuted and died suddenly, the treatment of the last two records would definitely be reduced to the minimum. Just like now, with her debut so smoothly, Sony quickly followed and said early that she would prepare TIE-UP for her.
Sony Records are rich and have rich resources. What makes him great is not that he can attract resources, but that he can produce resources by himself. Not counting as games and advertisements, there are dozens of animations invested and produced by Sony every year, and the theme songs of these animations are all digested by Sony's singers.
Adequate resources can give them enough confidence to continuously promote newcomers. Even if newcomers are money-lossing goods, they can still pay a few more times before they can completely give up.
From this point of view, Sony seems to have a little bit of a "snatch". However, once a singer is successfully pushed, Sony will immediately start the squeeze mode until it is overwhelmed. Including Kawamoto Makoto in the original historical trajectory, after becoming popular after his debut, he was squeezed by Sony that he would rather terminate the contract and transfer underground.
This is also the reason why although Sony has been able to continue to launch newcomers with topics over the years, there has never been a king or queen. Because Sony's plan for its singers is really messy.
...
"Hello Ye Zhaosang, the atmosphere in autumn is already very strong. Are there any songs you can recommend to listen to in autumn recently?"
"...The songs of autumn, every autumn I keep listening to the songs of Senior Miyuki Nakajima, and I am deeply moved by the loneliness in Senior Miyuki's lyrics."
Before the broadcast started live broadcast, a submission was inserted.
"Then, good evening, this is Ye Zhao's Super Green Heart Club. Tonight's guest," Ye Zhao paused, "Miss Kawamoto, please say hello to everyone."
"This is Kawamoto Makoto, good evening."
"Ye Zhao's Super Youth Club" has been recorded in the third episode so far. The guest in the first episode is YUKI, and the guest in the second episode is a veteran arranger and guitarist who was contacted through cultural broadcasting. In the third episode, before Shiseido's advertisement broadcast, when the momentum of Kawamoto Makoto began to decline, Ye Zhao brought his own family (Ga) and called Kawamoto Makoto.
"...Well, that's it. When I first met Miss Kawamoto, she kept a hairstyle that was completely inconsistent with herself and was very dedicated to playing the keyboard. Then we met again in the background. At this time, she looked really... ordinary." Ye Zhao laughed, "It feels like the aura is completely gone."
"Because I don't have much aura at all, the aura that Ye Zhaosang felt must have come from someone else on the stage." Kawamoto Makoto said modestly.
"It's not that. When I was performing with you on POPJAM last time, I couldn't help but feel like 'Ah~ I'm really worthy of it!'... Let me say ok first, this is not a flattery."
Regardless of whether it is a business boast or not, in short, when you come up with a topic, you must not admit that you are boasting.
...
“…and then there are listeners from Yamanashi Prefecture whose pen name is ‘One Thousand Violins’,”
"'Hello Ye Zhaosang', hello."
"'It's Ye Zhaosan's first concert soon, but I failed to win the tickets for Tokyo and Osaka venues that have been announced.'... Yes, this is really a pity. However, Hibitani Noto in the final show has not officially issued the ticket, so there is still a chance." Ye Zhao talked to this 'One Thousand Violins' from the air.
"'So now, I want to ask Ye Zhaosang whether there are any special plans for this concert?"
"Hey~ Special plan," Ye Zhao laughed, "Since it's a 'special plan', this must be kept confidential in advance."
"Then apart from the parts that cannot be said, I also reveal a little bit of what I can say, right?" Kawamoto Makoto said, "To be honest, I'm a little curious."
...But I obviously gave you a ticket to the second day of Osaka Field. Ye Zhao thought silently in his heart.
If real relationship owners want to come to the concert, just go directly to BEING. The few relationship votes that fall into Ye Zhao’s hands are those more intimate private votes.
Whether it was Nakano or Osaka, Ye Aki only got four tickets, and only Hibitani Noto, who was the final stage, enjoyed a little bit of preferential treatment as a singer and got six tickets.
Nakano's four tight relationship tickets were given to Fuji Ayako, one for Yuki Nakama, and the last one for the rest, Ye Zhao gave to Arakawa and Shi, who had released underground singles for him. Ye Zhao's singer journey began with Apollo Records. As his first concert in his career, he immediately thought of Arakawa and Shi, who took him on this road.
The four photos from Osaka were sent to Mirai Watanabe and Naoko, and one more photo of Kawamoto Makoto. As for the last one, it was bought by Tetsuro Oda's beloved disciple Aikawa Nanase.
Aikawa Nanase is not a fan of Ye Aki. Although he has the same teacher, he has different record companies and does not debut at the same time. Basically, except for the first time he saw Kawamoto Makoto to meet Oda Tetsuro, he said a few words. In the past few months, even if he met her while looking for Oda Tetsuro, he just nodded.
Such a strange relationship, but she still has to leave a ticket for her because of Kawamoto Makoto. The relationship between these two girls is progressing rapidly, no less than the Shinkansen NOZOMI, which is driving at full speed. Since Kawamoto Makoto is going to see a concert, the place she goes is Kansai, Aikawa Nanase's hometown, so naturally he cannot forget his good friends.
As for Hibitani Noto in the final stage, there is no need to mention, the father and mother who are preparing to come and support the whole family, and the sister who dislikes him for being unsatisfied all day long, these three pictures must be reserved first. As for the other three pictures... let's talk about them then.
...
After the broadcast ended, Ye Shogawa and Kawamoto Makoto neither went home nor found a place to eat and drink. Instead, they went to the recording studio under Sony in Shibuya District.
They have to seize the time and decide to release the title song and C/W song of the new single.
In the selection of the second single, Tadao Okazaki proposed the reference opinion to continue the configuration of the first single, with Ye Zhao providing the title song, and Kawamoto Makoto was responsible for the C/W song. This model led by a senior or teacher, from providing the title song to collaborative composition and then to the end independent composition is a model commonly used by many singer-songwriters in the music industry.
For Ye Zhao, it is very simple to come up with a popular song. Just consider the style of Kawamoto Makoto and choose the right song. So he naturally developed a procrastination, put the title song aside, and first, with Kawamoto Makoto, and choose a suitable C/W from the inventory she wrote in recent years.
When she borrowed a free recording studio, only Ye Shogawa and Kawamoto Makoto, she took out a small stack of handwritten music scores from her bag.
"I'm more confident in this." Kawamoto Makoto handed over the score.
"The creativity is really strong." Ye Zhao took it, humming the melody and nodding gently.
The songs in this small stack of music have been filled in all the lyrics and music. As for the quality, there are good and bad things, but there are no songs that impress Ye Zhao at all. Ye Zhao flipped through the music score and suddenly let out a soft voice: "Huh?"
"What's wrong...ah!" Kawamoto Makoto clasped his hands together and said a little apologetically: "I'm really embarrassed, I accidentally put in the song that I only wrote half of it. It must have been accidentally mixed in when organizing the music score."
