Chapter 403 The Unknown Spark

Speaking of cooperation, Ye Zhao said a few more words, "After making this song with Sakamoto Sakamoto, I really want to make an album with the singers."

"Are you collaborating on albums?" asked Sakamoto Tomomi.

Ye Zhao nodded, "Yes. I want to show your charm beyond performing songs in this way and discover more possibilities. It also allows young people to understand you through this album and become interested in performing songs."

Tsumi Sakamoto nodded while listening, deeply agreeing with his words, "A pretty good idea."

"Not only Sakamoto, but also other singers who are interested in singing popular songs, want to invite everyone." Speaking of this, Ye Zhao said first: "Although it is really difficult to achieve."

"That's true." Sakamoto Tomomi echoed, "Just coordinating the record company is already a big project."

"Yes, otherwise, I would definitely try this album." Ye Zhao said.

"Anyway, when Ye Jun's plan can be completed, please be sure to invite me."

"If it can really do it."

Shinmi Sakamoto was quite optimistic, "I think if it were Ye Jun, maybe it could be really done."

"Is that true?" Ye Zhao was a little surprised that she would say so.

"Actually, there is no basis. I just think that Ye Jun is the kind of person who will work hard to achieve his goals, so it is not surprising that he can accomplish something that is difficult to succeed."

Ye Zhao couldn't help but smile, "Sakamoto, this evaluation is too high... But after hearing what you said, I really want to go back and discuss with President Nagato now, finalize the singers who want to cooperate with, and send the invitation."

"I'm absolutely OK here. If Ye Jun really invites me, I will work hard to fight with the record company." Sakamoto Tomomi said.

"Then, Ye Jun and Aiko are not friends. If you invite her, it will be natural. There is also Wu Dai Xia Zijiang, who is the same record company and if you invite her, it will be in place in one step... Moreover, Ye Jun and Sony Records are also very close to their cooperation."

Both Fuji Ayako and Wu Dai Nako's record appointments were placed on Sony.

"If this happens," Ye Zhao interrupted her with a smile, "if Kanishiおりりsan and Yoko Nagayama, the lineup of "Heart" would be gathered together."

"Heart" is a disaster relief song performed by these five people after the Hanshin earthquake last year.

At this time, these five people are in excellent condition in their careers and in their own condition. Just standing together is an amazing painting.

As soon as he reminded him, Sakamoto Tomomi also laughed, "It's true."

"However, if Sakamoto and the other four come to work together, it would be interesting to think about it." Ye Zhao said, "Even the audience who likes several people will definitely be surprised."

Having said that, Fuji Ayako and Wu Dai Natsuko's record deals at Sony, Sakamoto Tomomi at EMI, Kanishi おり in polydor, Nagayama Yoko at Victor, and Ye Zhao himself at BEING.

If you really want to cooperate, it will be a big deal that spans five record companies.

A cooperative album that spans several companies, from determining the plan to successfully coordinate and starting the production, takes much more time and effort in the middle than simply producing an album.

However, after really talking about this matter in depth with Tomomi Sakamoto, Ye Zhao, who had just mentioned it casually, also thought that this matter would be very interesting.

After two years of debut, his record sales exceeded 10 million. Needless to say, his career went smoothly. People say that he was full and warm, so he was not satisfied with selling sales for nothing, but let go and do what he wanted to do.

When a producer is to cultivate his own line, he is a limited band with Okuda Minsheng and Kurashio for fun. Now, if these five people are really brought together to make an album, I don’t know what kind of sparks will be created.

Such an "unknown" attracted Ye Zhao and made him full of interest in this casual plan.

However, whether he is interested or interested, it is troublesome to do it, especially since his record contract is about to end in eleven months. Before he confirmed his contract renewal, this kind of collaborative album that takes a long time and may take a lot of risks will not nod and agree.

Since that was the case, Ye Zhao simply put this matter aside for the time being and finished the work he had done.

After Sakamoto Tomi sang the theme song for him and made up the last piece of the puzzle, the post-production of the movie was successfully announced, and he moved from the production stage to a new stage: that is, to find a distribution company and ask them to help with theater distribution.

There are only two ways to produce independent films, sold to large film companies such as Toho Songzhu, or handed over to independent distribution companies. This time, the latter is chosen for "Gaze at Love and Death".

However, it always takes longer to contact distribution companies that agree to help with the allocation, especially low-cost movies that are independently produced, and many independent films are stuck at this point.

For example, "Blue Youth" and "GO! The Raider", the former is produced independently, while the latter is produced by Toei. Because of the lack of strong support, although the former was completed earlier than the latter, the release time was delayed by more than half a year.

When they met in their spare time, Yukihiko Taki also sighed to Ye Zhao, "This is the most difficult part. Before that, just think about one thing and how to make the movie well. But now, all kinds of messy things have come one after another."

This is his own personal experience. Long before working with Ye Zhao, he independently directed his first movie and was looking for a distributor, he had already tried this kind of experience of running around and self-promoting.

"But it's not too bad." After sighing, Yukihiko Tsuki admitted, "Compared with the era when film companies control theaters, the current environment is free enough. Although ATG has disappeared, we have also come to an era when independent films can be released without relying on ATG."

ATG was an art film organization founded in the 1960s. In an era when big film companies controlled all cinemas, what ATG did was to provide an opportunity for independent film productions to release and release.

After a period of development, ATG is still collaborating with various directors in addition to release and release, providing them with funds to make small-cost movies and release them through ATG.
