What kind of movie is "Moon and Koryo"?

A outdated singer with exhausted inspiration is far away from the metropolis and lives in seclusion in the countryside to grow karis. On the way back to visit a friend, he met a cute girl dancing in front of him. The two spent a summer together.

As for why I emphasize that it is a cute girl... If this girl is not adorable, she will suddenly dance in front of the male protagonist and will only be regarded as a lunatic and then turn her head and leave.

During this time of living together, the hero was re-inspired by this cute girl's creative enthusiasm and began to create new songs. But at the same time, the girl's life experience was slowly revealed.

It turned out that this cute girl was actually a ghost. She unfortunately died of a tornado while participating in a dance competition. Because she was a fan of the male protagonist during her lifetime, she came to the male protagonist after becoming a ghost.

After she disappeared, the male protagonist finally created a satisfactory work with longing for her. The name of the song was "One more time, One more chance"... Yes, it was the song that was ruthlessly rejected by Sony Records.

As for the movie "Moon and Gale", first of all, this story... In order to force the heroine to give bento, it is really a trick to get it out. Can the screenwriter be unable to satisfy the car accident and terminal illness?

But putting aside these a bit of blood, just for this movie, the song "One more time, One more chance" written by Yamazaki Masaki, as the protagonist of the movie, is enough to be called tailor-made.

Perhaps it is really like a cup of tea bowl that needs to be used, because Ye Zhao took away this "lid" in advance, resulting in the most critical theme song part of the movie being difficult to produce after entering the preparation stage. Moreover, this theme song is not just a theme song. If so, it is still time to listen to the sample slowly while the shooting begins.

What's more special is that this song is like a vein buried deep in this movie. Without this song, the story would not be able to hold on.

Therefore, when Yamazaki Masaki, who was responsible for the music part of the movie, was unable to produce works that satisfies the production team, director Tetsuo Shinohara invited the song to Ye Zhao through Yukihiko who had some contact with him.

"Shinohara was deeply moved after listening to Ye Jun's "Singer's Love Song". I hope Ye Jun can provide a theme song for this new film in preparation."

"However, because it is a low-cost production, there is no high price for buying songs there...". It is of course not free to offer songs to other singers. The royalty share is royalty share, and the money for buying songs before the release is another part. Now Ye Zhao, if he goes to film a TV series, even if he is the protagonist, the salary for a single episode is probably more than 600,000 yen, and even the most expensive one can't reach 800,000 yen. However, in the music circle, he is already the most expensive group among the new musicians.

He took the summary of the movie sent from the opposite side and watched it again and again. However, Ye Zhao still seriously considered the invitation. When he first came here, in order to get rid of his own predicament, he took out the song without hesitation.

Later, he took many singers' songs to use, and of course he felt embarrassed, but he took away the fruits of other people's labor. However, if he had to do it again... he didn't even plan to do it to imagine that he would do it again, because he didn't feel regretful at all.

At most, what he can do is not to touch on songs that have special meaning to a certain singer.

For example, "Sakurasaka", which helped Fukuyama Masaji's music achievement to the next level, "PRIDE" by Miki Imai and Intae Fukumai, or "First Love" by "Hiro Utada," although all of these songs are very popular, but for Ye Zhao, it is just an extra best-selling song, which is of great significance to these singers.

So, from this point of view, the singer he felt most guilty so far, that is, the male lead of the movie "Moon and Koryo", Yamazaki, whose inspiration was really exhausted due to his incest. The song "One more time, One more chance" is just an abandoned song for him, but if he loses this song, Yamazaki's salted fish career may last for a long time.

But maybe it is really a kind of "destiny" in the dark. A small-budget film, a director who is still not famous, actually invited the song to send it over. Even though his current "value" is a little expensive, he still tried it.

Since this is the case, Ye Zhao felt that he might as well go with the flow and return the song to his original owner... Although it cannot be considered a return, because even if it is given to Yamazaki Masaki, the copyright of the lyrics and music belongs to him. But in the end, Yamazaki Masaki Masaki, who has "One more time, One more chance", is much better than not.

However, even if this change caused this song to be popular by Yamazaki Masaki as in the original history, he would never intend to give this song to the second person again.

After making up his mind, Ye Zhao called Yukihiko Tetsu.

"I'm disturbing, DiSang."

"Oh... Ye Jun. Is there anything wrong?" The two have known each other for a long time and have cooperated one after another, so they have saved up those greetings without content and went directly to the topic.

"It's about the theme song of the movie "Moon and Koryo"." Ye Zhao said, "I read the outline of the movie and was very interested in this story. I happened to have a song I had made before, which was quite consistent with this story. So, I would like to ask Tae-sang to help explain it to Shinohara Sang. If I don't mind, I'll send the song."

"I agreed so readily?" Tsukiyuki was a little surprised. "No problem, I will contact Sōhara Sō. I think he will be very happy to hear this news... Of course, if you give him a friendly price, he will definitely be happier."

At this time, he still remembers to tell Shinohara Tetsuo about love.

"Don't worry," Ye Zhao promised him, "and he will definitely come with a friendly price."

Shortly after hanging up the phone, Tsukiyuki called again and told Ye Zhao that Tetsuo Shinohara hoped to discuss with him in person. Ye Zhao could not help, and immediately agreed. Tetsuo Shinohara hoped to hear the song sample as soon as possible. Although there were two days to be the day of Hibiya Noto's final concert, he still took some time to make an appointment with him at the next afternoon to meet in the Yurakucho cafe.

...

After putting down the phone, Ye Zhao opened the drawer and searched for the sample that Okazaki Tadao retreated to him at that time. However, it took a little longer and he flirted around but couldn't find it. There was no way, so he had to record another copy.

Fortunately, the office is not too far from BEING's headquarters building. Although the recording studio inside the company is not professional enough, it is still more than enough to record a sample. He immediately set off from here and returned to BEING.

"Long time no see, Ye Zhaosang." As soon as he entered the company, the young female receptionist greeted him for a long time.

"Yes, are you okay?" Ye Zhao greeted her with a smile. Unless something comes here, he often never shows up here for ten days and half a month. Therefore, the greetings "long time no see" are heard every once in a while.

"For your blessing, everything is fine. The final concert of Hibitani Notin is coming soon. I wish you all the best."

"Thank you." Ye Zhao bowed to her and walked towards the elevator entrance. He came to the recording studio and borrowed the right to use the recording studio. With a long time of confidence, he completed the new sample production in a few seconds.

Putting the new sample into his pocket, Ye Zhao seemed to transform into a "wind-like man" and hurriedly left BEING again. Before leaving, he did not forget to say hello to the female receptionist again: "See you next time, Miss Aoyama."

Being polite and kind to everyone in the company is also one of Ye Zhao's advantages. Thanks to this, he maintains a very high popularity among the company's employees. Note: Especially female employees.

...

At four o'clock the next afternoon, Ye Zhao came to the agreed cafe five minutes earlier than the agreed time. At this time, Shinohara Tetsuo has arrived. However, the unexpected situation is that in addition to him, Yamazaki Masaki, the male protagonist of "Moon and Koryo", also appeared in the cafe.

"I'm really sorry, I'll bother you when Ye Zhaosang is so busy." Shinohara Tetsuo greeted him.

"If you don't know, it's my honor to see you." Ye Zhao replied modestly. The longer he spends time in the entertainment industry, the more he understands that he should never offend any behind-the-scenes staff. No matter how popular an artist is, his popularity will always be exhausted. In this ecosystem, he will always be an artist with the iron-clad Starf flowing experience.

This was the first time Ye Zhao saw Tetsuo Shinohara. Judging from his appearance, he looked like an ordinary Japanese. However, Yamazaki Masaki next to him made Ye Zhao look at him a few more subconsciously.

Before Shinohara Tetsuo spoke, Yamazaki bowed politely and explained: "I heard Ye Zhaosang prepare the theme song of the movie from Mr. Shinohara. Although he was very presumptuous, he still followed him with shamelessness."

How to describe Yamazaki Masaki... Maybe he is a person who has no sharpness? However, although he doesn't look sharp and modest and restrained, he can feel that this person has a kind of power. For example, if he met such a person in his school days and both of them happened to like music, he would definitely invite him to form a band or something.

However, the biggest significance of these ideas now is that he had a very good first impression of Yamazaki Masaki. Apart from that, there was no actual meaning.

"It's okay." Ye Zhao also returned the gift to him. It was after another round of greetings that he put the small tape recorder and tape he brought with him on the table, "Please listen."

Afterwards, Ye Zhao realized that the reason why Yamazaki Masaki came here specifically with Tetsuo Shinohara was because as a musician, he played the role of a singer-songwriter, so he didn't really want to sing songs provided by others. Although he had to accept the reality of asking for external support because he was unable to set up a suitable theme song for a long time, he still had a persistence in his heart and explained in advance to Tetsuo Shinohara that if this song could not impress him, even if he apologized to Ye Zhao in person, he would flatly refuse.

Time is not very good, so even if it looks a little strange, Shinohara Tetsuo and Yamazaki Masaki still have one headphone each, and they sound such a "love song" together.

While they were listening to the song, Ye Zhao picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip. Perhaps because of the last time he drank coffee or the one he drank in Ginza with Sakai Izumi, he subconsciously compared it in his heart and thought to himself that although the coffee here tasted good, it was indeed better that night.

"How?" Ye Zhao asked when Tetsuo Shinohara and Kazuo Yamazaki took off their headphones.

"How to say it..." The first person to speak was Yamazaki Masaki. "I don't know if it would be shameless to say this, but when I heard this song, I felt a little like a 'a song dug out of my own body'." This is the so-called "father-son connection" between the composer and the song, right?

Ye Zhao smiled, "I think this should be the highest praise, right?" In fact, he was a little confused. He was not sure if the original author would have the same inspiration after a song was decided first by him. After all, it was just a song registered and copyrighted to be included in his own music library, not a song that was officially released.

But looking at Yamazaki's reaction, his concerns seemed to be redundant. Since that's the case, he could also make some fun, not only this song, but also many songs that will be registered in advance by him.

He calmly put away the thoughts that arose in his heart, and Ye Zhao went to see Shinohara Tetsuo again, "What does Shinohara Sang feel?"

"A pretty co-production song. To borrow the words of Yamazaki, it feels like 'it's tailor-made songs for the movie'." Shinohara Tetsuo said, "But after Tsukusan said that this is actually a song that Ye Zhaosan had been doing for a long time. The degree of co-production is incredible."

"This is probably the so-called fate?" Ye Zhao said, "This song has been made for more than a year, but it has not been found a suitable destination, so it has never been used. Now, it is really great to make the two of you feel that they are co-produced. Then..."

"Although it's a bit rude, I have also stated before that because the crew's funds are a little tight, I may not be able to pay too high..." Shinohara Tetsuo expressed his embarrassment carefully.

"Please rest assured." Ye Zhao said, "I was fortunate to participate in the production of the movie with Di Sang a while ago, and I also experienced the difficulties of the crew. Di Sang also told me this. So, I will give you a friendly price."
