Chapter 68 Beginning with Death High School Students

On the last Saturday of February, Ye Ao came to the NTV headquarters building in Akasaka, Minato, with the company of Umemura Yuki, for the first time to participate in the SP meeting of the "Kinda Ichiko Event Book".

...

Eventually, it can be traced back to January this year. After just completing the last round of new single promotion from Mito City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Shun Takeda found an invitation from RB TV (NTV) in dozens of invitations sent to the office.

"Is this the theme song to provide?" Ye Zhao took the fax absent-mindedly and asked before he could read it.

"To be precise, it is to give the soundtrack for the TV series SP." Takeda Toshi explained, "RB TV will be scheduled to be released on April 8th "Kinda I Boy Event Book" SP."

Ye Zhao knows who is Jindaichi, after all, this is a high school student of Death who is as famous as the Death elementary school student.

As a natural-style mystery comic, compared to the large-scale love mystery science fiction disaster fresh romance film like the primary school student of Death, Kanedaichi's taste is not a little heavier. Thinking about the beginning, Ye Zhao, who only knew that the primary school student of Death, was recommended by Kanedaichi by his roommate, and was shocked by that terrible standard.

Although the comic was a bit late to animate, as early as early 1995, NTV producer Yuko Atsuyama attracted the potential of the comic and invited Tomoto and Rie Toshisaka to film the SP drama "Kinda Ichiko Event Book" to test the waters.

The so-called SP (special) is a special form of Japanese dramas, which is the so-called special. They are usually broadcast during the window period between the regular Japanese drama season and the shift of the season.

The emergence of SP dramas may be a well-received drama, so I specially filmed a SP to perform the follow-up story of this drama. Here, you can use Li Gou Hi as an example. As for another situation, it is the current "Kinda Ichiko Event Book". If the effect and ratings are good, then this SP will have the opportunity to develop into a TV series in the next season.

"Aren't there any composers who often cooperate with on the TV station? Why did you think of finding me?" Ye Zhao was a little curious.

"I don't know this. It should have been decided by the producer and all parties after discussion. It was just a SP drama. The actors and directors disclosed now have relatively low qualifications and not much investment, so I thought of using newcomers on the soundtrack? However, although the original work is based on the original work, the starring Takako Domoto is very popular, but it is thankless to be unaware of the comic adaptation, and the prospects are not easy to say."

Akira Asaba doesn't know if he has a deep experience, but he still knows that Domoto is very popular. His group Kinki Kids chose the martial arts hall for the first time he held a concert last year. Although I don't know how much the SP has collected, judging from the later filming of TV series, it is definitely not that bad.

After the explanation of Takeda Toshiki, he added another sentence: "Although I don't know much about music, there are still many differences between composition and soundtrack..."

Ye Zhao was a little happy, "Tashi Sang said that he didn't understand music. Didn't he point it out in just one sentence?"

Yes, composition and soundtrack are very different. When composing songs, only melody is considered, but when composing film and television dramas, we must consider melody, rhythm, atmosphere, ornamentation, etc. Therefore, the final creation of the soundtrack is an independent finished product, unlike composing songs, melody and arrangement can be separated.

There is a kind of singer-songwriter who does not know how to read scores or instruments, but can make best-selling classic melodies by humming with his mouth. Although many people feel despised of such singer-songwriter, there is no doubt that being able to possess this ability is also a real talent.

However, such singer-songwriters cannot do the job of soundtracks anyway. If you want to be competent for the job of soundtracks, you need more of a rich musical literacy and a variety of experiences familiar with the characteristics of various instruments.

In Takeda Toshiki's opinion, Ye Zhao was divided into "melody genius" in his heart. Although he believed in his musical talent, he was not optimistic that he could be competent for this job.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhao muttered: "No need to have a good soundtrack composer. Are you planning to let me practice with this SP?"

"Will Ye Zhaosang accept it?"

To answer, of course, you have to answer. As long as there is something to follow, there is a way to do it well.

...

NTV, which just celebrated the 40th anniversary of its establishment in 1993, has now replaced the red dolphin logo designed for them by the Ghibli Studio where the animation master Hayao Miyazaki is located. The pig's tail is rolled into a "4", which not only represents the "4" of the 40th anniversary, but also the location of the TV channel where RB TV is located.

RB's private TV stations are all invested by big newspapers. NTV's investment convenience is the famous Yomiuri Shimbun, which is also the source of the "Japanese TV station" among primary school students of Death.

Ye Zhao arrived fifteen minutes earlier than the agreed time. When he arrived at the conference room, director Yukihiko Tomosaka, Tomosaka Rie and Kootani Masato were already present.

Adhering to the principle that he would be right to say hello more, as soon as he walked into the conference room, Ye Zhao quickly followed: "I am Ye Zhao for the first time when I met, so I would like to give you some advice."

Although Tomosaka Rie is only sixteen years old, Yiling has been counted as the sixth grade of elementary school. Masato Kooya is a veteran actor for many years. Although Yukihiko Tsuki's name is only a little famous at this time, he is twenty years older than Ye Zhao in age. Therefore, the one with the least qualification here is undoubtedly Ye Zhao.

"Please give me some advice." The three of them stood up from their seats. Tomosaka Rie is the youngest and has the most etiquette. Masato Kooya and Yukihiko Tsuki just nodded implicitly.

Yukihiko Tetsu had an ordinary office worker face, her chin was shaved, and it looked a little difficult to get along with. Shortly after Ye Zhao sat down, he got up and went out.

Tomosaka Rie was the green age who could pinch water. At this moment, she was still a young and cute girl. She had not become a "crooked sister" because of an unlucky dental caries. When she saw Ye Zhao, she was quite excited. She lay on the conference table and leaned on the opposite side of Ye Zhao, who was sitting opposite him, and whispered: "I am a fan of Ye Zhaosang. If I had known Ye Zhaosang would come, I would bring the CD over to ask you to sign."

Sitting beside him, Masato Kooya, held his chest with his hands in his chest, looked at Tomosaka Rie with a kind face, with no intention of being displeased at all. Although he was a tough guy with a burly figure, he seemed to be surprisingly easy to talk to.

"Thank you," Ye Zhao nodded politely, "I'll sign you next time I meet."

"After that, why did Ye Zhaosang appear here?" Tomosaka Rie said curiously, "Is Ye Zhaosang scheduled to star in this TV series? But the agent didn't tell me."

"That's right," Ye Zhao kept it a secret, "but the performance method is a bit different from Tomosaka Sang."

"Different?" Tomosaka Rie rubbed her index finger against her cheek, revealing an incredible expression: "Is Ye Zhaosang going to play the corpse sergeant?"

Hey... Ye Zhao rolled his eyes. Is the body of Kazumi Kitani so easy to act?

As soon as Tomosaka Rie said this, Masato Kooya didn't hold back and laughed. Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Tomosaka Rie slowly sat back into his seat and apologized listlessly: "I'm sorry, Ye Zhaosang."

"It's okay." Ye Zhao smiled angrily.

Masato Kooya took out a GAMEBOY like a magic trick and asked, "You two, do you want to play this?"

"Eh?" Tomosaka Rie was a little surprised.

Masato Kooya explained, "I want to work with young children like you. I'm a little worried about not knowing how to get along. Before leaving, I brought my son's GAMEBOY."

Tomosaka Rie looked at Ye Zhao, and Ye Zhao waved her hand and signaled her not to worry about her.

"Thank you, Kooya-San!" Tomosaka Rie took the GAMEBOY and the game was in hand. She forgot the original fanatic spirit, staring at the screen with concentration, and playing very vigorously.

...

Afterwards, actors Kenji Haga, Rieko Miura, and Ruiki Sano were present one after another. Soon after, Yukihiko Tsuki also reappeared in the conference room, but this time he came in with two other people. Both of them had work permits on their chests, and they should be the main creators of the play.

Sure enough, after the greetings, Ye Zhao learned that the two were screenwriter Fukasawa Masaki and producer Yuko Toyama.

The latest one is the protagonist of this drama, Tomoto Domoto. Although he has not made his official debut yet, his itinerary is definitely the most full of everyone here.

Speaking of this, we need to mention Johnny's strange system, that is, no matter how popular the artists are, how important the job they receive, or held concerts in a large venue, as long as they do not release their debut singles, they cannot be considered official military.

Domoto just entered the conference room and bowed humbly to apologize: "I'm really sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay, come and sit down quickly." Producer Yuko Yoshiyama seemed to like him very much.

Although the SP entered the preparation stage a month ago, it was the first time that all the main creators sat together. Producer Yuko Yuyama started and greeted everyone in turn to introduce the part he was responsible for. When it was Ye Zhao's turn, he stood up and bowed, saying, "Hello everyone, I am Ye Zhao who is the music of this TV series. Please give me some advice."

As soon as he sat down, he looked up and Tomosaka Rie, who was sitting opposite him, made a winking grimace at him.

The entire meeting lasted nearly three hours, but the only thing that really related to Ye Zhao was the first self-introduction.

The script was distributed to everyone, and even Ye Zhao got a copy. After getting familiar with his role, the rest of the time was left for the actors to audition for clips.

This is the first time Ye Zhao has watched the actors performing up close, so he is quite fascinated by the audience. Although the directors and screenwriters are watching the tricks, he is at best a lively show.

As soon as he entered the role, the slightly off-line Tomosaka Rie seemed to have changed her body. The shy and young Domoto was a little more cynical in his expression. Masato Kooya even made Ye Zhao wonder if the uncle who smiled and took out GAMEBOY was suddenly replaced?

When the director shouts to stop, these sudden extra expressions will disappear in an instant, and the qualities that have just disappeared will return to them again. The so-called acting skills probably refer to freedom of restraint and release?
