Chapter 208: Aiding and abetting

"Yes......" Sakai said with a little regret.

Although Ye Zhao's feelings were not keen, they were definitely not dull, and he immediately sensed this regret in her voice, thought about it, and asked her tentatively: "Could it be that Sister Quanshui wants to meet me now?"

As soon as the words came out, I felt that this question was a little frivolous, and I wanted to apologize to her for "rudeness", but I felt that it was too deliberate to do so, and when I was embarrassed, there was a soft voice from the other end of the phone: "Hmm." ”

"Huh?" This time he went from embarrassment to surprise.

"Actually, what I originally thought was that if it was convenient for Ye Jun, I would invite you out for a cup of coffee together. Sakai Izumisui couldn't know what he was thinking, so he said to himself quite frankly, "However, when I dialed the phone, I already realized that it was a little late. Because I'm the type of day and night reversed, I occasionally do such an inappropriate thing. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled slightly.

"If I were in Tokyo right now, I would definitely go and have coffee with Sister Izumi without saying a word. Ye Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall of the building, "I haven't seen Sister Quanshui for a long time, even if it's 'helping to abuse', I will definitely go." ”

"Helping to abuse ......," Sakai Izumi laughed at this sentence, "This is too exaggerated." Without Ye Zhao's explanation, she immediately understood the implicit meaning of his words.

The reason why I am so relaxed with Sakai Izumi is probably because I don't need to explain anything, right?

Ye Zhao thought about it and said, "However, now, I can't even catch up with the last Shinkansen back to Tokyo." And, soon, I'm going to perform on stage, and it looks like this cup of coffee will have to be put back for a while. ”

"On stage?" Sakai Izumizu was attracted by these words.

"Yes, this friend of mine in Kyoto, who is running a club now, made a little agreement with him when I came over, and after today's performance, he will be on stage as a 'surprise guest' for a while. Ye Zhao explained.

"That's nice. "The Sakai spring water is a little fascinating.

"I watched it for a while when I was offstage just now, and the audience at the club was really good and very cheering. Ye Zhao said this, and talked about his worries about Sakai Spring, "It's because everyone is so good, so I feel a little uneasy when I think about going on stage later." I'm afraid that the performance is not good enough and will disappoint everyone. ”

"Regarding this, Ye Jun just needs to do his best, I think everyone in the audience will be able to feel Ye Jun's sincerity. Sakai Izumisui gently encouraged him and asked, "Is it okay until the time of the performance?"

Ye Zhao looked at his watch, there were less than twenty minutes before the performance began. Although there were still many topics I wanted to talk to her, I was pressed for time, so I had to stop the topic, "It's almost time to get ready to go on stage." "Don't forget to thank Sakai Spring," thanks to Sister Spring's reminder, otherwise, it would be a 'performance accident'. ”

"I've been pulling you to talk about it. Sakai Izumi was in a good mood and joked, "So, if you cause a 'performance accident' because of this, you will have to go with Ye Jun to apologize to your friend." ”

"In this case, Sister Quanshui's reminder is the so-called 'helping others is helping yourself'?" Ye Zhao responded to her joke as he walked towards the building.

"Exactly. ”

"So...... Just hang up the phone first?" Ye Zhao said, "As for that cup of coffee, although the time is a little late, it should still be counted, right?"

"Hmm......" Sakai Izumisui seemed to confirm his itinerary, and only after about three or five seconds did he reply, "Tomorrow, Ye Jun will be able to go back to Tokyo, right?"

"I'm sure I'll be in Tokyo around 10 a.m. ”

"What about the work schedule?"

"There's a magazine interview in the afternoon, but it's definitely over before five o'clock. After that, in the last two or three days, although there are a few odd jobs, they are not very busy. Ye Zhao recalled his schedule.

"Then, how about nine o'clock tomorrow night?" Speaking of this, she also specially added, "At this time, you won't let Ye Jun 'help the abuse', right?"

Being teased like this by Sakai Spring Water, Ye Zhao suddenly smiled brightly, "No." ”

……

Hang up the phone and go back to the background.

"I've been waiting. Ye Zhao apologized to Riku Watanabe.

Riku Watanabe smiled gently, "Is it a matter of work?"

"Not really. Ye Zhao explained a few words briefly, "It's a friend, I went overseas before, and I just came back recently, so I chatted a little more." ”

"That's good. If I leave you in Kyoto like this, I won't be able to do anything if I delay your work. ”

"Rest assured, the kind of thing that causes trouble for everyone won't happen. ”

Riku Watanabe took down one Martin hanging on the wall, "Wait a minute, can you use this one?"

"Pretty good. Ye Zhao took the guitar, sat down on the sofa, and confirmed while adjusting the guitar: "It's almost time for me to play, right?"

"I have already greeted the audience in advance, saying that there are guests who will perform a special performance today. Ryo Watanabe looked at his watch, "Now, let's go and wait." ”

After adjusting the guitar, Ye Zhao habitually rubbed the strings with his palm, grabbed the neck and got up from the sofa, and nodded, "Let's go." ”

"By the way, you've already figured out what you're going to sing, right?" asked Watanabe as he walked out.

"Of course. Ye Zhao was confident.

……

The last group of singers stepped back from the field, and when they met in the corridor, the musicians greeted him with gestures very kindly, and Ye Zhao also returned the salute to them one by one.

"That's it. Riku Watanabe gave him the order to take the stage.

Ye Zhao nodded, unfolded the strap, hung the guitar on his body, and walked to the small stage.

The moment he appeared, the audience, who had been guessing who the guest who suddenly appeared today, was shocked when they saw him.

No one would associate a popular singer who just finished a concert in Osaka yesterday with a small club in Kyoto, which can only accommodate 200 people. However, after a brief commotion, cheers gradually rang out, like waves of the sea, rushing to the stage in waves.

Standing in front of the standing microphone, Ye Zhao greeted the audience: "Good evening, I'm Ye Zhao." ”

The audience that "Oh" had been a little worried about before was rejected by the audience who came to cheer for the underground band didn't happen, just as the audience cheered for every group of singers and bands that had appeared before.

"The owner of this place, Watanabe-san, is a friend of mine, and I used to be taken care of a lot by him in the underground era before my debut, and I used to hold concerts in Osaka, and I came here to disturb after it was over. …… So, although it's a bit presumptuous, can you let me sing for a while?" With the experience of the previous concerts, Ye Zhao interacted with the audience quite calmly.

"Of course!" The club was full of standing seats, and there was only a short distance between the stage and the audience in the first row, and the audience's earrings, necklaces, and expressions on their faces were all visible.

Of course, even the sincere welcome on the faces of the audience can be clearly seen. It's no wonder that many musicians, even if they can afford a large venue, still prefer small concerts, and even hold live house tours. If you just want to enjoy music, there is no better way to feel the enthusiasm of the audience than this kind of close interaction.

Because it was a temporary addition a little late, Ye Zhao didn't sing for a long time, he just sang three songs, and the instrument was only an acoustic guitar in his hand.

The first song to be sung is "Secret Base", and it is a song that is included as a single as a C/song, and the chances of being sung again in the future are very small, and if it is not a special release of B-side songs, there is almost no chance that it will be included in the album, so it is definitely an unexpected surprise for the audience to be able to sing it at this moment.

In the second song, Ye Zhao did not sing his own song, but covered "Sunset" from the Blue Heart Band, if it is a concert or other public singing of other singers' songs, then not only need to obtain the consent of the singer's record company, but also have to pay the cover fee to the Music Association for the cover.

However, if it is in such a private performance, it is a tacit matter that God knows that the singer knows the audience.

After the two songs were sung, Ye Zhao interacted with the audience a little, "The performance just now, is it okay?"

After a slight pause to meet the cheers of the audience, he slowly continued, "Next is the last one." Facing the audience's somewhat disappointed "eh" voice, he smiled: "It's already taking up everyone's precious time, so let's stop here for a while, and have a chance to continue in the future, right?"

said, no longer responding to the audience's reaction, and reported the name of the last song: "...... In the previous concert, the last song was "fly", and today it is arranged as usual, is that okay?"

Ye Zhao raised his right hand holding the pick, "Then please listen to the last "fly". ”

After singing the final "FLY", after saying "Good night! on the road!" to the audience, Ye Zhao stepped back from the stage and returned to the backstage.

Riku Watanabe took the guitar from him, "It's a really good performance." I didn't have such a strong feeling at the concert, and up close, my guitar technique and singing skills have risen a big step compared to the past. ”

"Anyway, I've listened to the relevant professional courses. Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Today's arrangement is still too hasty, otherwise, I really want to see how far your bass skills have come. Watanabe Lu regretted a little.

"There are still many opportunities in the future. Ye Zhao replied lightly, "Before coming over next time, make an appointment with Brother Watanabe in advance, and then we will rehearse and sing on stage together, I will be the bass, and Brother Watanabe will play the guitar, how about it?"

"In that case, I'll have to practice my guitar for some time now so that I don't get dragged down. Watanabe said with a smile. His guitar level is probably about the same as Ye Zhao's bass level.

"It's the same on my side, if you don't practice well, you will have to be an amateur party. ”

……

After the club ended, in line with the principle of not causing trouble to people, Ye Zhao originally planned to stay in a hotel outside, but he insisted on inviting Bian Lu, and finally followed him home.

Naoko Asakura had not yet fallen asleep, and when she entered the reception room, she turned and went to the kitchen, where she was soon served with red wine and a small plate of cheese, of course, only two glasses.

Ye Zhao thanked him and had a drink with Watanabe Riku, during which Naoko Asakura cleaned up the guest room on the first floor and came over to tell him that new towels and toothbrushes were ready.

"Goodnight, then. With that ready, she went back to the bedroom.

The next morning, after breakfast at Watanabe's house, Riku Watanabe dropped him off at Kyoto Station.

"So, see you next time. Getting the suitcase out of the trunk, Riku Watanabe said goodbye to him.

"Next time, it's the wedding of the two of you, right?"

"I remember it pretty clearly. ”

"Of course. Ye Zhao smiled and waved goodbye to him.

……

At 2 p.m., the scheduled music magazine "Patipati" was interviewed and photographed, and all the interviews and shoots were conducted in the Tokyo studio, and in addition to the on-site photos, the magazine also received photos of the previous Osaka concert. In between shooting, the reporter of Ye Zhaohe magazine completed the interview in the lounge next to it.

This time the interview was a little long, not only about his musical trends, his mood as a producer, and how he felt about holding his first concert, but also asked a few additional questions about his personal life.

The interview and shooting ended at 5:20 in the afternoon, a little later than expected, leaving the studio and returning to the car, Ye Zhao relaxed and said: "...... That's a choking question. For example, if you are planning to have a few children, will you let children become singers in the future, I don't know what kind of readers will be interested in this kind of thing. ”

"I think there are a lot more people who are interested in this kind of thing than there are people who are not. Yuki Uemura laughs, "Although the work is the most important thing for singers and actors, the corner is the seasoning that makes the meat more delicious." ”

"It sounds like you're going to be eaten alive. Ye Zhao also smiled.

"Where are you going next?"

"Put me at Shimbashi Station, and then it's free time. ”

In Shimbashi, before Ye Zhao got out of the car, Yuki Uemura said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Please take care of your feathers and don't do anything that will be noticed by reporters." ”

"Oh. Ye Zhao got out of the car and waved at him, "See you tomorrow." 2k reading network
