Chapter Eighty-Nine: Which pot is not opened
"Brother Ye Zhao is the first to appear?" asked Yukie Nakama on the phone.
"The first one, when this ad is over, it will start. β
β¦β¦
While MS has to walk a short staircase when it debuts, HEY3's appearance is much simpler, just wait on the other side of the door, and after the host says, "Then let's have today's guests", the door that looks like a sightseeing elevator from the direction of the audience will open, and when Ye Aki and Masaharu Fukuyama slowly walk out of that door, the audience will also let out cheers that will not lose to MS.
"How can I say it, the atmosphere in the audience today is particularly strong. β
"yes," Hamada continued, "I'm much more excited than when the two of us came out." The world is indeed a world of faces. While speaking, Masako Hamada stood behind Ye Zhao and Masaharu Fukuyama, narrowing the distance between the two, and the camera was also very good at aiming at the faces of the two.
The audience burst into cheers and screams.
β¦β¦
On the other end of the phone, Yuki Nakama said: "I used to think that HEY3's camera san is really good, no matter what kind of scene, it will feel super funny when they shoot it." β
"After all, it's a funny show, at least in terms of being funny, you will never lose. β
β¦β¦
"That's it, today's guests, Fukuyama-san and Ye Zhao-sang. I'm already familiar with Fushan Sang, Ye Zhaosang is still meeting for the first time, right?"
"Yes," Ye Zhao owed, "When we meet for the first time, please take care of the two of you." β
Masako Hamada clasped his hands in front of his chest and made a look of ignorance, "I don't want to take care of you at all." When the weekly charts come out, your new single will definitely break my streak, and I was thinking of setting a record. "I want to just invite you two down." β
"Then we'll go back. Masaharu Fukuyama grabbed Ye Zhao's arm and jokingly gestured to go outside the studio.
"Are you two stupid!" Masako Hamada chased after him and unceremoniously greeted each of them on their heads.
β¦β¦
"Brother Ye Zhao, Hamada Sanna seems to be working very hard, doesn't it matter?"
"It doesn't matter, it looks heavy, but it's not really hard. Ye Zhao explained. I had long thought that Hamada Masako would catch up with the two tall men who hit the head, and even quietly bent his knees in cooperation.
β¦β¦
"Alright, let's get back to business and start the first song of the day. β
"Please advise. β
The first song is "Beauty γγ Flower", and during the three-minute performance, Yukie Nakama did not speak, but listened to the whole song in silence, and only after it was over, did she say, "I've heard it several times, but it's really a good song." β
"Yes, Fukuyama-san's talent is undoubted, and if his face mistakes him for an idol, it will be a big loss. β
"Actually, I haven't heard Fukuyama-san sing much before, and I know that he is also under the same roof. β
Masaharu Fukuyama, whose music sales were dismal after his debut, stepped into the ranks of actors with a bit of a try, but it turned out to be an unexpectedly huge success.
β¦β¦
After the performance, the four of them moved to the sofa and sat down as the guest of honor, and the interview part officially began.
"How did you two come up with the idea to team up?"
"It was a whim. Masaharu Fukuyama replied, "We met on a music show, and we thought it was very speculative after chatting for a while, so we thought, let's work together on a single." β
"Really?" said Song himself, provocatively, "In my opinion, the two of you were all made by the public opinion at the time, so you made business considerations, right? It's strange if the two of you have been put together for so long, and the relationship is still so good! Although they are sitting together with a smile now, when they go backstage, they say, 'Hmph!', no one cares about anyone, right?"
Masakata Masakami gave Matsushi a punch, "You guy, don't say such things in the show!" Although he taught his partner a lesson, he turned his head and asked even more: "The two of you are doing a double A single this time, and there must be a lot of disputes over the order of the songs, which song to sing on the show, etc., right?"
Seeing that these two people were trying to lead the topic to the top of the discord, Ye Zhao simply jokingly pointed to the hair that he and Masaharu Fukuyama had slightly permed for this stage, "Just look at the hair." This hairstyle is actually the two of us fighting each other backstage over which song to sing first. β
Matsu himself laughed heartily, "So the first song is sung "Beauty γγ Flower", is it because Fukuyama-san won against you?
β¦β¦
"So, what is the relationship between Brother Ye Zhao and Fukuyama-san?" asked Yukie Nakama.
Ye Zhao earnestly taught, "People who have a really bad relationship will not make such jokes, only good friends will tear each other down." β
"But variety shows are really a bit scary. β
"That's just the basics. "The worst is yet to come.
β¦β¦
IN FACT, AS A PRIME-TIME VARIETY SHOW BROADCAST AT EIGHT O'CLOCK, THE TOPIC OF TOO LARGE A SCALE WILL DEFINITELY NOT APPEAR, BUT IT DOES NOT PREVENT THE TWO OLD FRITTERS OF DOWNTOWN FROM SUDDENLY DROPPING A BOMB IN A SUBTLE WAY, SUCH AS "MAI KURAKI IS THE SECOND IN UTADA LIGHT" WAS BLUNTLY SAID BY THESE TWO PEOPLE, AND WHEN AIKO AND MATSUDA SEIKO WERE ON THE SAME STAGE, AIKO GAVE MATSUDA SEIKO A MASSAGER, AND THE TWO BEGAN TO USE THE WORD "MASSAGER" TO DRIVE ALL KINDS OF CARS THAT CAN ONLY BE UNDERSTOOD.
In short, you have to expect two big things from funny artists to have discipline, that's impossible.
"You kid made a lot of fame a while ago, and he was in a lawsuit and a 12CM single, and he was bombarded with your news for a few months. Hamada Masako directly mentioned the previous incident without any scruples.
"The reason why there are so many troubles is not because your vision is too bad!" Considering that this is a prime file, Ye Zhao's identity is not a funny artist who can use love history as a stalk, Hamada Yagong said it very tactfully, but with the sensational level of that incident, I am afraid that no matter who it is, they all know it.
Ye Zhao smiled implicitly and did not answer.
Matsu Shizhi came over with a gossipy face, "Then again, what type of girl do you like?"
"Well," Ye Zhao moved towards Masaharu Fukuyama, deliberately biting his ears to discuss, but his voice was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly, "Fukuyama-san, how do you answer when you are asked about the ideal type in the show?"
Masaharu Fukuyama also muttered in Ye Zhao's ear quite respectfully, and Matsu Himself Zhi and Hamada Masako also overheard as if they were eavesdropping, pretending to listen for a while, and said with a disgusted face: "I can't hear it at all!"
In the laughter of the audience, Ye Zhao sat upright, "That, the type you like," he made a big gesture with his hands on his chest, "It's really the big one of Oupai!"
Masaharu Fukuyama pushed Ye Zhao with a gesture, "What I'm talking about is obviously in good shape!"
β¦β¦
"Brother Ye Zhao, is that really what Fukuyama-san said?"
"Actually, Fukuyama-san didn't tell me anything," Ye Zhao explained, "You may not believe it, there is only the first paragraph in the script, and the latter paragraph is said casually by Hamada-san, so when I was asked, my cold sweat was going to come down." No matter how you answer this kind of question, it will be over-interpreted, and you can only pretend to say a clichΓ©, thanks to Fukuyama-san's quick response, and the help circle came back. β
"But that's a bit too much, isn't it?"
"After the show, Matsumoto-san said, 'If you don't think it's appropriate, you can talk to the director about cutting it out,' but I looked back at it with Fukuyama-san and thought it wasn't a big deal. "This is the style of these two people, after all, even Namie Amuro, a HEY3 regular, has been ridiculed by them for using divorce as a meme. And other programs and hosts are even more excessive, if you can't even accept this level, you can't never go on variety shows in the future.
"However," Ye Zhao said with a smile, "Even you know it's a bit excessive, and this matter is really big." β
However, after hearing Ye Zhao's answer, the topic on the other end of the phone suddenly changed, "So, 'I like Opaida', this is Ye Zhao's brother's true words?"
"Huh?"
"I didn't expect Brother Ye Zhao to be such a superficial person!" Yuki Nakama was aggressive, "and he said it openly in the prime-time show!"
"That's why I told you not to watch it. Ye Zhao was a little embarrassed. And the size of this European faction is not as big as possible, and it has to be decided in combination with the overall situation.
β¦β¦
On Tuesday morning, a rare spectacle reappeared on the weekly ORICON list.
The two versions of the single "Beauty γγ Flower/Sakura" occupied the first and second places on the chart with 236,000 and 232,000 copies respectively, becoming the third group of singers to reach the first and second places on the chart at the same time, after Keiko Fuji in 1970 and Southern Star in 1992.
Needless to say, how famous the Southern Star is, if it weren't for the accidental insight of Sangtian Jiayou, Ye Zhao's road would not have been so smooth. As for Keiko Fuji, you may not know her, but you must know her daughter Hikaru Utada, yes, it is Hikaru Utada who set a peak record of 7.65 million albums. It is really worthy of the tiger father without a dog son, and the tiger girl without a meow girl.
"It's amazing, you've got another record. In the president's office of BEING, Daiyuki Nagato had a look of emotion.
"It's still thanks to Fuyama-san's blessing, otherwise it would be difficult to get such results. Ye Zhao said modestly. If you think about it, the last time I came to BEING's headquarters, it seems that I came to discuss with Daiyuki Nagato about a collaboration single with Masaharu Fukuyama. When he appeared at BEING today, the receptionist at the front desk looked at him with surprise.
"You don't need to be modest, Fukuyama-kun is extremely popular, and you have just the right momentum, this is a strong combination. Nagato Daiyuki said, but there was some regret in his heart, it was a pity that this single could not be produced by BEING.
It's a pity that after finishing this single, Nagato Daiyuki turned to the most important purpose of calling Ye Zhao: "Speaking of which, counting your underground single, now you have also released three singles, and you just made a cooperative single, if you are an ordinary singer, you will release a regular album in almost a year, are you prepared for this?"
