Chapter 237 Wake up, wake up
Seeing Mire Takahashi like this, she probably let her mind go and doesn’t know where she wants to go. At this time, if she has to continue talking and say something, she is simply a fool who is causing trouble.
So, Ye Zhao just smiled, took a step, and walked towards the recording studio. Mire Takahashi was a little behind him, and the two of them maintained the so-called polite distance that they knew at a glance that they were not particularly close.
When he returned to the recording studio, Mari Nishimoto was standing alone in front of the console, wearing headphones to check the recording before dinner. Ye Sho and Mire Takahashi walked in one after another. When they noticed the two, Mari Nishimoto nodded and said hello. Ye Zhao was also very sensible and did not bother her, but waited a little while next to her.
It was not until Mari Nishimoto took off her headphones that he greeted her again: "I've been waiting for a long time, Miss Nishimoto."
Mirei Takahashi also apologized to her, "I'm sorry to let you wait, Miss Nishimoto."
"It's okay." Nishimoto Mari put the headphones in her hand on the console, swept her calm eyes over Ye Shogh and Mire Takahashi, showing a kind smile, "If there is no problem, let's continue?"
Continue must continue. Not only that, it will last for a long time.
The recording of the day lasted until two o'clock in the morning. During this period, Mire Takahashi and Mari Nishimoto came to send a midnight snack. The agent of MANISH was quite formal. When the activities and recording were conducted in the name of a combination like this, the agent with them was a middle-aged lady named Matsumoto. In addition, the two also had their own exclusive agents.
"I think if you work harder tomorrow at the latest, the recording will almost be over." Soundtrack Sabuki said, while going to see Ye Zhao, "What do you think, Ye Zhaosang?"
"Well," Ye Zhao swallowed the Kanto cook in his mouth, drank a sip of water, and nodded, "If the next thing goes well, I think today will be over. No matter what, working with experienced singers always saves a lot of worries." Unlike when I was producing the first single for Kawamoto Makoto, it took several months from entering the studio to the final product.
It’s not that Kawamoto Makoto has a poor singing skills and has to hire a musician with an annual salary of one million. In fact, even the kind of newcomers who are outstanding in singing skills and select from the selection meetings are difficult to compare with veteran singers with mediocre singing skills but rich experience when they first enter the recording studio.
When the veteran singers participated in the recording, they had already quietly accumulated their unique experiences, whether it was the timing of breathing, the grasp of emotions, the singing style and pronunciation, all of them were easy to do.
MANISH has only been three years old for her debut, and Mire Takahashi has shown such ability, which is enough to show her singing skills. The longer she has been with her, the more she sees, the more she has to be sorry for her.
After having a midnight snack and having a short rest, Mire Takahashi and Mari Nishimoto entered the studio again and continued the unfinished recording again. When the last round of recording was over, Ye Sho and Sabuki exchanged glances with each other, nodded, and then announced to the two through the microphone connecting the recording room: "Thank you for your hard work, the recording ends here."
"Thank you for your hard work." When the two came out of the recording room, Mire Takahashi and Mari Nishimoto bowed together, and Ye Sho and Sabuki quickly returned the gift. The two sides bowed to each other several times in a sticky manner.
The recorded track will be sent to the mixing machine room, and the mixer will perform the last process. As for the arrangement of this song, Ye Zhao once again took action, abandoning BEING's usual style. It is expected that when the finished product is released, another song from BEING would never have thought it would be if the company didn't watch it.
He said goodbye to Mire Takahashi Nishimoto Mari, and they took the agent's car to leave first. Ye Zhao yawned in a tired and looked at his watch, "Well, it's already past two o'clock."
"Do you want to go back now?" asked Uemura Yuki.
"Forget it, I feel sleeping here." Ye Zhao said, yawning again. Then, as if it was contagious, Sabuki next to him also yawned.
"Sorry, sorry." Sabuki rubbed the tears from his yawning.
"I'm here." Ye Zhao smiled, "Mr. Sabuki, should I go and rest?"
"It's not OK, I have to sort out today's audio track again." Sabuki said, "Jun Ye will do it yourself."
Ye Zhao got up and said goodbye to Sabuki, went to the lounge prepared by the recording studio, and was confused on the sofa for several hours. At about 5:30, Yuki Uemura came over and told him, "It's almost time to set off, Ye Zhaosang."
"...Yes." Ye Zhao stretched out. Although his head was drowsy, he still got up from the sofa, rolled up the blanket covered with his body and put it aside. He took the toiletries prepared in advance by Uemura Yuki and went to the bathroom.
After finishing the simple cleaning, he walked out of the recording studio and stood under the eaves of the corridor. Ye Zhao let out a "ah", put his hands in his jacket pocket, and raised his head to look at the gray sky: "It's snowing."
Uemura Yuki also raised his head, and first repeated it like a repeater, "Ah, it's snowing." After a while, he said again: "It seems to be the first snow this year, right?"
Ye Zhao thought for a while, "It should be."
"It's so fast, winter." Umemura Yukichi.
This is true.
In August, after the egg whites and egg yolks were mixed together, the feeling of the sticky sunlight falling on the body seemed to have not disappeared. In a blink of an eye, it started to snow in Tokyo.
After the recording last night, the reason why I didn't go home, but chose to stay in the recording studio for one night was because at 6:30 today, in a studio in Shibaura, Minato, the MV of the song "The Sun Will Still Rise" will be filmed.
The song "The Sun Will Still Rise" is the ending song of the movie "I heard that Kirishima is going to retire", and it was included in the new album released in October this year. So why do you have to shoot a MV for it?
The answer is very simple. Ye Zhao is preparing to release this song as a recut single for a second time.
The so-called recut single refers to the second release of songs that have been released as an album song and have not been released as a single. Corresponding to the recut single is the so-called "first single" that is released as a single about one month before the album is released.
A relatively different place in the Japanese music market and the Western market are also revealed here. In the West, there is no such thing as a recut single. Although the Western singer's album releases one or two songs for preheating before the release, and after the album is released, the songs are selected from the album as a single to the ranking form, which is similar to the Japanese pre-selling singles and recut singles, but in the West, this approach is conventional. A single is a single, and the singles before and after the album is released will not be called a pre-selling single and a recut single.
The existence of Recut singles is either a special promotional form to re-enabling albums that have been released, or it is because a certain song in the album is very popular, so it is specially released as a recut single. However, because it is a song that has been included in the album, the number of fans who are willing to pay for it will be greatly reduced, and the sales are often not very beautiful. Some singers will release it in a limited edition form when recut singles are released.
However, when it comes to the sales of the singles of the recut are average, there are many exceptions (not just ten or eight). For example, the most famous Chestnut, SMAP's national masterpiece "The Only Flower in the World", is released in the form of single-cut.
This song was included in SMAP's album "SMAP015/Drink!SMAP" as early as 2002. Later, in 2003, the theme song of the TV series "My Way to Survive" starring member Cao Yaogang was broadcast. Because it was very popular, it was re-recorded by the members and released as a single-cut.
For example, Utada Hiroshi's famous song "First Love", was originally included in the album "First Love" debuted as an album. Later, the album sold 7.65 million copies, setting a sales record that was unprecedented in history. This song was also re-taken as a single recut.
Although he kept saying something beautiful and responsive to the public's expectations, the biggest meaning of the single was, to put it bluntly, just two words "cheating money".
However, for Ye Zhao, he wanted to release this recut single, not just to cheat money. As early as when he decided to film the movie "I heard that Kirishima wants to withdraw from the club", he had already decided to include the theme song of the movie into the album and release it as a recut single later.
Speaking of the reasons, one is to drive the sales of the album by the way, which is also the most basic responsibility of the recut single. The other is to promote and drive the movie and singles by reselling the singles in the form of reselling the movie during the release period.
As for the third and most important point, since it is a song that is released as a single again, it is essential to have an MV. Ye Zhao has decided early on to direct this MV by himself.
Although I paid 100 million yen of sky-high "tuition fees" and watched the filming of the movie from all directions, and there were professional directors and teams to give guidance, because of the filming of such a movie, I could start the next one by myself, "fighting and kicking" professionals, and become the director of the independent directing of the movie?
Wake up, wake up quickly. What should I sleep in broad daylight?
Just sleep, what daydreams?
