Chapter 240: "Actually, I Did It On Purpose"

"New single, ah......" Ye Zhao muttered as if talking to himself, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Looking at Ye Jun like this, why do you seem to be very annoyed?" Sakai Izumi asked with concern.

"Although it is a bit rude," Miss Imai also spoke, "Ye Zhaosang can't be that he hasn't prepared a suitable tune for the time being, right?"

"Kaori, you can't talk like that. Sakai Izumi stopped Miss Imai in a gentle tone. However, calling her by her name like this, instead of calling her "Miss Imai", this is the first time Ye Zhao has seen such a situation.

It was also at this time that the big question of the century, "What is Miss Imai's real name?" was finally answered in her gaffe.

"It turns out that Miss Imai is named Kaori, ah......" At this juncture, Ye Zhao was still thinking about such a slightly boring thing.

Miss Imai also realized that this sentence was not appropriate for her at least, so she quickly smiled apologetically and said to Ye Zhao: "I'm sorry Ye Zhaosang, this is too inconsiderate. โ€

As for superfluous explanations or rounding up for yourself, there is not a word. It's a very clever way to make excuses for yourself when you apologize, and set a way out for yourself when you ask for help, which is the most annoying part of actual social relationships.

"Big husband~" Ye Zhao also helped her turn this page over in a very relaxed tone. Anyway, he is not really a singer-songwriter with all his talents, even if it is, although it is a sad thing for a singer-songwriter to not be able to write good tunes, but he will not be depressed or even angry for such a sentence.

Besides, for him, there should be too many good songs that should be suitable than worrying about not being able to come up with the right tune to sing, and he doesn't know what to sing on the next single, which is more likely.

This is not just a bit of slander against the passage just now, he is indeed worrying about what kind of song should be sung as the title song.

"Actually," after Miss Imai's interruption, Ye Zhao still answered Sakai Izumi's question about the new single just now, "Regarding the new single, it is already in the plan, and the general idea has been reported to President Nagato, and when the end of the year is over, a sample should be made, and then the relevant matters for recording will be prepared." โ€

This is not a temporary lie to fool people, but a serious fact.

On the question of "when will the new single be released", Daiyuki Nagato is the one who cares the most. In the businessman's opinion, when the popularity is at its highest, if you don't come to the last three singles and one album a year, it's like putting a lot of money and not going to waste.

It's just that when Nagato Daiyuki asked him this question, Ye Zhao didn't give a sample that had already been prepared, but just a general idea, "It should be a catchy, positive, and more suitable song to sing in karaoke." "Such a song is not popular, but once it is popular, it will have a wide range of popularity.

If you want to talk about good songs, of course Ye Zhao has them, coupled with his current popularity, with good tunes, no matter what, he has more than 500,000 sales. However, being a sales monster certainly makes people feel very excited to think about it, but compared to the super high sales, what he wants more for the current Ye Zhao is actually a "national song" in the real sense.

The idea was first conceived when the nominees for this year's Record Awards were announced. This year's record awards, judging from the list of nominees, are still a big victory for the Komuro family.

Moreover, not only this year, but also next year and the year after next, this situation will continue for a long time. Tetsuya Komuro's energy in the mid-to-late nineties was, without a doubt, overwhelming.

Moreover, in addition to his own extraordinary strength that is enough to crush everything, the record company and forces behind him also have huge energy that can turn things upside down on the stage of the record awards. After all, after entering the 90s, the "Zhou Fang Award" and the "Ai Hui Award" are really not called in vain.

As for Ye Zhao himself, although he was nominated for the Outstanding Works Award and the Outstanding Record Award, and his name was also included in the nominations for the most important annual awards, however, this award with the highest gold content, from the beginning of the announcement, he was ready to accompany him, and he did not have too many special expectations for it at all.

It's not that he doesn't give himself long ambitions, it's really a record award, although the selection criteria are occasionally so illusory and ridiculous, but in most cases, the most important one of the selection criteria is that the sales must be high.

Especially in the current era, unless you can get the kind of super hit that is unbeatable, it is tantamount to a fantasy to want to cut off Tetsuya Komuro in the heyday of Hu.

Ye Zhao's nominated single this year is "Singer's Love Song", thanks to his whole year, since the release of the pseudo-pilot single "Singer's Love Song", he has not released any single works at all, plus the song itself is very beautiful in terms of melody and lyrics, and its popularity among listeners is very high, so although the follow-up album has also been included, the sales have been very stable all the way to the end of the year, and until the middle of December, it still maintains a record of not being on the list.

Up to now, this single, which was not very popular at the beginning, has worn out 700,000 copies with its super endurance.

But despite this, it is nothing compared to the glittering million-dollar signs of the Komuro family, or the other nominees. What's more, behind him, there is no strong force to help him go to the backstage of the "dark box operation" award. Even if it really rains in the sky and the sun comes out of the west, this year's big prize will fall on his head, and he won't dare to take it.

If this is taken, won't it become the second joke of the year after the disgusting big man award of Kondo Masahiko?

Although with the development of the times, such disgusting annual jokes have appeared one after another, constantly refreshing the lower limit of the gold content and credibility of the Record Awards, but he also does not want to be nailed to the pillar of shame, and when later generations ridicule the Record Awards as a dark box award, pull out his name as a negative teaching material.

However, not reporting expectations for this year's awards does not mean that there is no ambition for the awards, on the contrary, for the record awards, Ye Zhaoda wants to get them from the bottom of his heart. In any case, being able to win the record award is already the biggest recognition in the industry.

From his official debut to the present, under his name, millions of singles and millions of albums have been gathered, and he has long since gotten rid of the identity of a first-shot house and has experienced the transformation from a high-profile newcomer to a top force in the music industry. However, despite all the good things, there is still one most important thing missing for him, and that is the works that can completely solidify his first-line status.

This work not only has to sell well, but also needs to have a very high degree of popularity, just like "ใ‘ใชใ„ใง" when you think of marathon support songs, "I love you" when you think of love songs, and "ใ‚ฏใƒชใ‚นใƒžใ‚นยทใ‚คใƒ–" when you mention Christmas, and become a song that is integrated into the lives of the public.

In the entire history of Japanese recordings, there were no 300 singles per million, and there were always more than 250 copies, especially in the 90s, when there were so many singles in the millions, and it was not surprising that they sold more than a million copies.

But among these hundreds of millions of singles, the vast majority of them eventually became meteors that once dotted the night sky, but eventually fell into the sea, except for an occasional appearance when taking stock of the record list, there will be no extra sense of existence, and even when later people hear this song, there will be a question of "can such a song sell for millions?".

So, while sales are important, they are not so important at the same time. Songs that can surpass the times and continue to be sung no matter how many years have passed are the true "national songs" that can surpass the times compared to the crushing of sales.

And what Ye Zhao wants is such a real national song.

The reason why I have been holding back and not releasing singles is also because I plan to release the single at the beginning of the year after the turn of the year, so that it can sell for a whole year and create a double miracle of sales and popularity. In addition, he also plans to take advantage of this long-term gap in the release of the film to deliberately sell a pass, giving listeners and fans a sense of expectation that "I haven't released a song for so long, is it holding back and preparing to amplify the moves?"

To paraphrase Keigo Higashino, "Actually, I did it on purpose. I had published five books the year before, and if I had a gap of one year, the reviewers would have thought I would have published a long book."

At that time, he had just divorced his wife, and in the year of the divorce, he had always been prolific but did not publish any works, so this year's gap period really whetted the appetite of book critics and readers.

Then, after satisfying the public's appetite, he took out "The Secret", which made him famous and rich, won the best-selling title of the year, and won the Mystery Writers Association Award in one fell swoop, plus Ryoko Hirosue is really cute (she starred in the film adaptation of the same name). Although in terms of the actual content of the book, it is really difficult to say.

The idea of holding back the big move to impact the best-selling national song, not only did Nagato Daiyuki not say it, but he must also keep the Sakai spring water a secret, and as for the others, he won't mention it. In any case, people always have to have a little connotation, and they can't pour out everything that they have and don't have.

After receiving the answer that he had already started preparing a new single, Sakai Izumi asked with interest, "If you don't mind, can you tell us what kind of song it is?" 2k reading net
