Chapter 252 Red and White Rehearsal

When any door on Christmas Eve is opened, where does it lead to?

...

In this world, there are always some things that are better than writing them in their imagination and becoming secrets that only belong to two people.

(In fact, it's just because it will be cut off after writing it out)

When he is single, Ye Zhao has no special expectations for holidays such as Christmas or Valentine's Day. Even if he follows the trend, he says a few words of congratulations or gives gifts of friendship, it is just to make himself look sociable.

If you think about it, you will still think that this is just a boring festival marketed by merchants.

But when two people are together, these so-called festivals seem boring and unaware of the so-called festivals, and they also have new meanings. Therefore, there is nothing special about the festival itself, it is because people give the festival special meaning.

After spending an unforgettable Christmas Eve with Yuki Nakama, on the 26th, Yuki Nakama's elder brother came to Tokyo to help pack her luggage with her, and boarded the plane back to Okinawa.

Of course, Yuki Nakama did not ask Ye Zhao to help. In fact, even if he really needed his help, he could only push this task to Yuki Uemura and provide support on his behalf. There was no way. By the end of the year, all walks of life, including the art world, were filled with all kinds of big and small matters and trivial matters, and they were busy in a state of being busy.

Not only was the daytime filled with work at the end of the year, but even the nighttime was occupied by various forms of annual forgetting meetings and thank-you clubs. The Prince Hotel in Akasaka did not go to the date, but went there twice in order to attend such a gathering with more symbolic meaning than practical meaning.

Although the entire society is still in the loss after the bursting of the bubble economy, by the end of the year, no matter where you go, it will be a lively scene. Although such prosperity may only be on the surface, no matter what, such a scene can be regarded as a decoration of the "New Year atmosphere" for the streets and alleys of Tokyo.

When the time came to the 29th, Ye Zhao had only two last tasks left in 1995, that was the Red and White Song Festival and Record Awards at the end of the year.

The current Red and White Song Festival and Record Awards are still held on the 31st day of the same day, so nominated singers on both sides have to run back and forth between NHK HALL and TBSA studio to enjoy such a sweet and happy busyness.

After all, Hongbai Song will be the highest-rated music program in the year. Now, the record awards that have not yet fallen back to their hometown, and the ratings are also the pinnacle of music programs. The effect of being able to appear in these two programs at the same time is really immeasurable.

Last year, Ye Zhao, who was in the venue of the Record Awards, also watched the singers who hurriedly finished the stage and left in a hurry. He thought in his heart that this kind of busyness without placing his feet was really busy and happy for the singer. In the blink of an eye, this year has also become a member of the "busy and happy" singers.

However, after actually experiencing it, I am really busy. As for happiness... I am almost busy, so how can I have time to have fun there? Besides, I will get a grand prize or the finale of red and white. It is not too late to be happy at this time.

Speaking of this record award, something very interesting happened this year.

Last year, the final annual award was awarded to Mr. Child's "Innocent World". For ordinary singers, they won the single award and nominated the annual award. They basically dressed up all the members who attended the event seriously, but Mr. Child is not an ordinary singer and they didn't go at all. Therefore, after the winner of the annual award was announced, because the singer himself did not attend, he could only send a record company representative to win the award.

I don’t know if it’s a petty or a stingy person or what to do. In short, since then, an additional rule has been added to the award, that is, the most important annual award can only be awarded to singers attending the recording award.

Although Mr. Child has made such a "feat", for most singers, after nominations, no matter whether the hope of winning the prize is big or small, they will attend on time. At most, they will leave after the winner is announced.

Moreover, after all, if you want to regard fame and fortune as dirt, you must first let fame and fortune reach its peak. Otherwise, indifferent to fame and fortune, in turn, it is also possible to be unprofitable.

...

The preparations for the Red and White Song Club start from the 29th, and on the 30th of the next day, there will be another rehearsal with makeup. This year's Red and White hosts are just like last year, both Uenuma Emiko and Ichiro Kotokuan. On December 31st last year, after attending the Record Awards, Ye Zhao also caught up with the end of the Red and White Song Club and met these two on TV.

From the beginning of entering the venue, there were loud greetings one after another. Because of the large number of people, when he nodded and said "Hello", he basically had no idea who the person "Hello" was.

After getting the book that belongs to you and is full of program flow, with the assistance of the staff, the first day's rehearsal started with the most basic lines and practiced movements, and went on every detail.

Ye Zhao's appearance order was ranked in the second half of the first half, and according to the appearance ranking of the white group, it happened to be ahead of SMAP.

Speaking of SMAP, there is another thing related to Ye Zhao, that is, at this Red and White Song Festival, the song SMAP will sing is the song "Overseas of the Night Sky" provided by him.

Since its release, this single has sold more than 900,000 copies. It is not only their most popular song this year, but also the best performance among the singles they have released so far, and the impact of millions is just around the corner. In this case, when it is confirmed that the appearance is red and white, this song is naturally the only choice.

One is the routine of singing the most popular songs for NHK; the other is the annual practice for SMAP, the effect of the Red and White Song Club should not be underestimated. If you sing this once in the music program with the highest ratings in the year, it will be a matter of minutes to exceed one million. Whether it is for NHK, which needs to drive the ratings of the topic, or for SMAP that needs a million single to push up the momentum of the music scene, it is a win-win situation.

Since we talk about the red and white songs, we naturally cannot do without the battle between Hong and Bai. The red group singers in Ye Zhao's battle are Morika Qianli, known as the long-legged sister. She has successfully transformed from an idol singer to a singer-songwriter. Morika Qianli's musical path is a model of getting wider and wider. Despite this, the songs she is going to sing this year are still not as good as the song "Singer's Love Song" that Ye Zhao will sing.

However, although it is claimed to be a "joint battle", the Hong and White Groups are indeed competing for the final banner of victory every year, but the battle at the Hong and White Song Club is just a form of partying. It would be too boring to take the victory or defeat too seriously.

In the past two days of rehearsal, most of the time was spent waiting, so when there was no business of their own, the singers either stayed by the side, chatted with familiar singers, or greeted the singers who happened to be standing by.

Whether from now or from the perspective of later generations, the backstage of this Red and White Song Festival is full of stars. At a close look, Namie Amuro, who has a very small face, always loves to shake the truffle Matsuda Seiko, and Junjun, who is wearing strange costumes and acting as the band's lead singer, and the three-person group dreams come true before Takahiro Nishikawa left the team...

"Thank you for your hard work." The girl who happened to be around him, so she casually greeted him was Sakai Nobuko. With the popular song "The Green Bunny", she was able to compete in Hongbai this year. Now she is indeed a pure and cute little rabbit with a pair of charming eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Zhao also greeted her casually. Although the little rabbit is cute, he can only sigh so much. He has no unnecessary feelings about seeing Sakai Nobuko at his peak.

In addition to these people who have been greeting each other for the first time and have been greeting each other for a while, there are also acquaintances who can chat a few more in the backstage.

"Ye Jun, come on, come on." The person who said this was Takuya Kimura. The single "Overseas of the Night Sky" narrowed his distance from the group SMAP. In this year's white group camp, Ye Zhao only had some friendship with SMAP.

"So many, please come on in the future." Ye Zhao owed.

"By the way, I've gone to watch the movie." Inagaki Goro said, "It's very interesting. I really admire Ye Jun who can make such a movie."

"Indeed, it's really amazing." Nakayu Masahiro smiled in a slightly savory tone. "When Ye Jun was young, he felt a little jealous whether he was writing songs, scripts or producers at will."

"This is really an over-the-top award, not that exaggerated." Ye Zhao said modestly.

"I have no award at all. I really envy the talents that Ye Jun has. Unlike us, if we want to survive in this circle, no matter when we stand in front of the stage, we must give up part of our personality."

"Because idols are such a job, since they want to get it, they must give up something." Kimura Takuya said, "and, 'the selected talents, money, status, reputation, possession of these or nothing, are still living under the same sky', right?"

"Have you heard of Kimura Sang?"

"Because I'm very curious about what kind of movie Ye Jun made, I've also watched it." Takuya Kimura smiled, "It's quite good."
