After the rehearsal before the two official recordings, Ye Zhao and Kawamoto Makoto temporarily returned to the lounge.

Generally speaking, it takes about three to four hours to record a one-hour variety show. "Popjam" is about the same time as a TV episode, and if you count the two rehearsals, you will have to stay at NHK for about four hours.

It's okay for a show with only one group of guests, but for this kind of show where several groups of guests take turns, the guests participating in the show are still in a state of "standby" most of the time.

Many big-name singers or singers with personalities don't like to appear in music programs, one of the reasons is to record a music program, which takes a lot of time, but in fact, there are too few parts of the broadcast.

And since it is out to record a program, it is inevitable to deal with interpersonal relationships and TV station relationships, and traditional musicians who focus on music have this time and free time, so it is better to use it in the recording studio.

The lounge provided by Popjam is the most standard four-and-a-half Japanese-style room, with a small sunken entryway. Ye Zhao and Kawamoto Makoto, plus the two of their respective agents, the four adults stayed in such a room, and it was quite a bit like they couldn't stretch their fists.

But fortunately, it is just a place to settle here, and it is enough to squeeze it. Sitting cross-legged at the low table, Ye Zhao couldn't help but think in his heart: How do large group beating groups such as Mimi Club and Good Morning Niang have to arrange when they come to participate in the show...... Of course, it's just for fun. dignified NHK, this little thing can still be solved.

While waiting for the recording of the show, Ye Zhao was not idle, put on earplugs, and lay on the table to concentrate on the exercise book. Ever since I decided to go to university, I have been studying all the time.

Yuki Uemura follows him everywhere all day long, and he has long been accustomed to the current situation, but in the eyes of Kawamoto Makoto and her agent Heisuke Goto, he is a little unsure of what to do.

Especially Makoto Kawamoto, who is still performing next, wants to practice the guitar before starting recording, but because she is afraid of disturbing Ye Zhao, she can only hold the guitar and jump silently on the fingerboard with the fingers of her left hand.

After brushing the two pages of questions, Ye Zhao shook his wrist, and when he looked up, he saw Kawamoto Makoto's cautious appearance. After thinking about it, Ye Zhao took off his headphones and said, "You can just practice, you don't need to care about me." Besides, don't underestimate the sound isolation function of the earbuds." ”

Makoto Kawamoto smiled and relaxed a lot, "Is Ye Zhaosang writing an exercise book?"

"Yes. I'm trying my best to get into college. ”

"Still, it's amazing. Heisuke Goto, who is Sony Music's manager for Makoto Kawamoto, interjected. Although Makoto Kawamoto signed the brokerage contract to Ye Zhao, because she had no intention of doing anything other than music at all, the agent assigned to her by Zye was basically completely useless.

Heisuke Goto said: "It's already at this point, and I even have to go to university again." ”

"How can I say it," Ye Zhao turned the ballpoint pen in his hand and considered the words, "For example, if life is a huge puzzle, then going to college is one of the pieces on the puzzle." Because the puzzle piece of life is so big, even if it is missing, the whole puzzle will not collapse. However, if this piece is missing, then it will never be possible to get the full picture of the adjacent parts. Because I'm a little greedy, that's why I want to complete this piece of the puzzle. ”

“…… Is this statement a little convincing?" Finding that he was a little too serious, Ye Zhao relaxed his tone and said softly.

Heisuke Goto let out a sigh, "There was a moment just now, and the thought of 'worthy of Ye Zhaosan!' suddenly came to mind. ”

"However, I do think," Yuki Uemura, who is more familiar with Ye Zhao, unceremoniously flew and complained, "Although what I said just now sounds a little handsome, I inexplicably feel that Ye Zhaosang is a collector with obsessive-compulsive disorder." ”

…… This heart-piercing skill was learned from Jun Takeda, right? Ye Zhao twitched the corners of his mouth, put back on his earbuds, lowered his head and continued to brush the exercise book hard.

This time, Makoto Kawamoto was no longer so restrained, but played the sound relaxedly. Of course, the force of the plucking strings is small.

……

After some time, NHK staff came and knocked on the door to inform them that the rehearsal was about to begin. So, the four of them walked out of the small lounge, and after waiting in the corridor for a while, Makoto Kawamoto, accompanied by his agent Heisuke Goto, followed the staff and went to the recording studio of "Popjam" first.

"Popjam" is different from "CDTV" in that this show has an audience, and there are quite a few viewers on the spot. In addition, although "Popjam" is mainly recorded and broadcasted, it will occasionally be live-streamed.

In fact, on music groups and variety shows, no matter which singer stands in the middle of the stage, no matter what kind of stage performance he contributes, the audience below will applaud and cheer very much, which is also the basic etiquette of the audience as a fan group, of course, if the singer is particularly popular or particularly liked, this cheer will be more real and warm.

However, there is another situation, that is, when a special program is live, sometimes a group of fans of the singer will be recruited to participate in the interaction for the performance of a certain singer.

Having said that, the audience at the recording site of the show is really not so good. The audience who voluntarily signed up was not a professional audience, so they had no income, in addition to accompanying the whole video, they also had to contribute their applause and enthusiasm, and in case of an accident in the middle of the show, they had to continue to wait there.

The most important point is that the program team doesn't care about the meal yet.

Therefore, even if Makoto Kawamoto is just a new newcomer who is not well known, when she appeared in the studio and officially started recording, the audience still applauded her very much.

As a show with multiple groups of guests appearing at the same time, the producers of "Popjam" allotted six minutes and twenty seconds to Makoto Kawamoto, and in less than six and a half minutes, there is also an introductory video of about 40 seconds. This video is provided by Sony, and it mainly captures the MV clip of her single.

After deducting the forty seconds of video to be added in the later stage, by the time the show is officially broadcast, the time that really belongs to her is only a little more than five and a half minutes. Of course, in the actual recording process, this time is even more. Because after the end of the program recording, the scissorhands of the program team still have to think about editing again. 2k reading web
