Chapter Ninety-Six: There Must Be a Limit to Mess Up
The song "Love の Talent", on the original version, the person who served as the backing singer for Kazuyo Kawamoto was Yasuyuki Okamura, and now, Ye Zhao naturally has the responsibility to take over this task, which can be regarded as adding a little topic to her debut song.
Speaking of which, Ye Zhao and Kazuyo Kawamoto's voices don't fit very well, so before officially producing the single, he first commissioned the recording studio here to make such a sample of the audition, and if the effect was too poor, he would abandon the plan.
"Well, it's a little weird, but the unexpected effect is good. Hearing his own accompaniment, Ye Zhao nodded thoughtfully.
"It's a bit abrupt at first," the recorder interjected, "but it's weird, but it's weird and tasteful, and you can't help but want to listen to it again."
Ye Zhao looked at Kazuyo Kawamoto, "What does Miss Kawamoto think?"
"I think it's good, too. If it was in another song, this kind of backing vocals might not be appropriate, but this arrangement has a feeling that it should be like this, and it is very fashionable. Kawamoto and Dai paused, and added, "This is not a routine, it is related to the quality of my debut song, and I can't be irresponsible to myself." ”
Since officially signing with Sony, Kawamoto and Déby were much more confident when they first met her, and when recording, if there were different opinions, they would also put forward them directly, of course, this change is not a bad thing. Knowing her changes, Ye Zhao naturally didn't worry that what she said was not telling the truth.
"In that case, then we're going to record it like this. Ye Zhao clapped his hands and said.
……
"Making a movie?"
"That's right. Mr. Takeda, if you want to make a movie, what should you do in the early stage?"
"Well," Takeda thought for a moment, "I don't know much about the more specific things, but of course, the first thing is to prepare the script, then to seek investment, to set up a production committee, and after the funds are in place, to select the director and production crew, to finalize the cast, and to select and negotiate the studio and location, these are almost the time to start." ”
"Production committee?"
"Since you want to make a movie, the most basic thing is, of course, to have abundant funds, and the more investors you can win, the more you will be rich. Then there are the equipment and equipment needed for filming, as well as the studios and locations, which are readily available with the support of TV stations and film production companies. When the film is produced and ready for distribution, it has to be rationed through the film distribution company, and before the release, it has to be promoted on TV and offline, and when the film is released, there is a follow-up video distribution ......"
That's why we need to set up a production committee, not only to attract investors, but also to win over film production companies, film distribution companies, television stations, publishing houses, and advertising companies, so that someone can help share the troubles ahead. ”
"But with such a large number of characters involved, wouldn't the director have to be constrained everywhere in the production process of the film?
That being said, it's actually a means of avoiding risk. Now that the film market is so sluggish, if the box office fails and the funds cannot be recovered, the more members of the production committee, the less compensation will be lost according to the apportionment responsibility system. ”
That's why the market is getting worse and worse...... Ye Zhao complained silently in his heart.
After Takeda Jun dutifully explained, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did Ye Zhaosang suddenly remember to ask this?"
"Takeda-san, I'm going to make a movie. ”
"Making a movie?!"
"That's right, I'm going to invest in it myself and make a movie. ”
'This ......" The expression on Takeda Jun's face was a little tangled, and he didn't directly answer for or oppose, but silently handed over the notice in his hand, "I think, compared to making a movie, Ye Zhaosang should think about this first." ”
Ye Zhao took the notice and glanced at it, "Cultural broadcasting?"
"It's an invitation to the title broadcast group.,The time is temporarily from October this year to April of the following year.,Every Tuesday night from 10 to 11 o'clock.,It's a pretty good time for broadcasting.。 Bunka Broadcasting is a radio station that broadcasts in the Kanto Metropolitan Area, and it has a very good listening rate in the Tokyo metropolitan area. For a musician like Ye Zhaosang, who doesn't do much on TV, it is beneficial and harmless to do a radio show. ”
"Radio. Ye Zhao does not reject broadcasting, even if he does not mention his family history, just the feeling that broadcasting is more freewheeling than television is enough to make him like radio programs.
The form of this radio group is roughly in the form of Ye Zhao + a guest per issue, chatting about playing music, and then expressing thoughts on the singles of the week's weekly list, and talking about the "dry goods" in music that the audience wants to know, in general, it can be imagined that the atmosphere will be very pleasant.
"If you look at it this way, it seems pretty good, and the time is acceptable. Ye Zhao nodded, "Please help me reply to the cultural broadcasting aspect, I took this group." ”
"Understood. Takeda Jun seemed to be very pleased that he had successfully diverted Ye Zhao's unrealistic attention, but unfortunately, in the next second, his little relief was immediately shattered by Ye Zhao.
“…… Please wait a moment. Ye Zhao suddenly stopped him.
Takeda Jun turned around, "Does Ye Zhaosang have any other orders?"
"Mr. Takeda, can I buy the broadcast time?"
"Buy a radio slot?" Takeda was a little confused.
Ye Zhao nodded, "I want to make a radio drama." ”
"That, Ye Zhaosang. Takeda Jun had a complicated expression, "I just said I wanted to make a movie before, right?" Seeing Ye Zhao nodding, Takeda Jun then asked, "Now are you going to make a radio drama again?"
"Any questions?"
"This problem is serious!" "The old Takeda Jun rarely put disapproval on his face, "Ye Zhaosang, although in terms of music, I don't think anyone in the whole RB will question your talent, but whether it is a movie or a radio drama, these are two completely different fields, and it is difficult for a layman to break into it like this, and it is difficult to succeed." ”
Due to the relationship between the two, Jun Takeda couldn't say anything more serious, but looking at his expression, most of the words "Even if it's messy, there must be a limit" lingering on his lips.
"Ye Zhaosang, let's take making a movie as an example, although the threshold for movies is very low now, and some firms even spend millions of yen to make a movie in order to add to the resumes of newcomers, and then carry out the public screening in less than 50 halls - if Ye Zhaosang wants to make a movie like this, I must oppose this waste of money. ”
"If Ye Zhaosang has a little pursuit of movies, if he wants to make a decent film with a small cost, how can he prepare tens of millions of yen for various investments. Even if the funds are in place, the directors, technicians, and audition actors have to be selected, and even if this part is completed safely, how to solve this part of the filming venue and studio, the distribution after the production is completed, and the various groups of advertising before the release?"
"Assuming that Ye Zhaosang successfully pulled up the production committee, this part was all completed, and the movie was successfully released. First of all, 50% of the box office revenue will be siphoned off by the distribution company, and the rest will be divided with the production committee. ”
"After talking about the movie, let's talk about the radio drama. Compared to movies, radio dramas are really easy to produce, and the cost is very low, and the broadcasting bureau has a dedicated dubbing troupe and soundtrack personnel, which is very simple. But since you want to make a radio drama, you must first have a script, right? Should the script be original, or should you buy the existing copyright? The most important thing is that although the cost of radio drama is low and the return is low, it is basically impossible to make a profit from it. ”
"Ye Zhaosang, I have seen many artists who suddenly became famous, after they suddenly gained a huge fortune, they would come up with all kinds of strange means to squander it, and once the follow-up popularity and resources could not keep up, they would immediately fall into financial difficulties. I don't mean to point fingers at Ye Zhaosang's decision, Ye Zhaosang has created an income in less than a year, which is difficult for ordinary salarymen to earn in their lifetime, which is very remarkable. But even so, even if Ye Zhaosang continues to create such wealth, if you always think of one out of one thing, I'm sorry, please allow me to refuse to continue to serve you. ”
Although Takeda Jun's words were heavy, they were very sincere, and from this point of view, Ye Zhao was still very grateful to him. However, "Takeda-san, I know it's hard for a layman to get into a new field, but if you don't do it, you're always going to be 10 to 0, and if you do, you're going to have a 5 to 5 win rate." ”
"Even if Takeda-san thinks it's a gambler's words, it's not a whim. Put money there, it's just money, but if you use it, you can convert it into something much richer. It's uncertain what the future holds, and maybe I'll actually have nothing because of the failed investment – but I'll have more than I did a year ago. ”
"Even so," seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Takeda Jun began to pay attention to other things, "Since you said that you had prepared for a long time, if you want to make a movie, what kind of movie are you going to make? If you are making a radio drama, what kind of radio drama are you going to make?"
"The script for the film is still in the process of being conceived, but it has been determined that it will be a small-budget drama, and of course, until the script comes out, this is all on paper. Ye Zhao's tone paused, "So, let's discuss the radio drama first, I have prepared the script." If Takeda-san doesn't mind, go back to the apartment with me now, read the script first, and then make a conclusion about whether I want to play it on a whim. How?"
"I don't know anything about scripts. Toshitoshi Takeda said.
"Whether you understand or not, another story. At least," Ye Zhao looked at Takeda Jun, "I have to convince Mr. Takeda that I am not fooling around on a whim, but I am prepared." ”
"This ......," Takeda thought for a moment, "okay." ”
……
Driven by Jun Takeda, the two soon came to the apartment where Ye Zhao lived.
Entering the room, "Mr. Takeda will sit down for a moment." Ye Zhao let Takeda Jun onto the sofa, and before going to get the script, he came to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and poured two bottles of oolong tea.
"That's it, that's all I have here. "It's been in the studio and on the set again, and the kitchen is already empty.
Jun Takeda didn't care, picked up the cup, and looked at the small living room while taking a sip of oolong tea. Noticing a bass set next to the TV stand, he asked, "Does Ye Zhaosang still play the bass?"
"That," Ye Zhao replied casually, "I have a friend who is a bass player, and he returned to his hometown from Tokyo not long ago, and when he left, he gave a bass as a souvenir, so he has recently started to learn to play." ”
"Oh. Takeda nodded.
Ye Zhao went to the typewriter and took the script that had been sorted out and bound together with a paper clip to Takeda Jun, "Takeda-san, please take a look." ”
Jun Takeda took it, and before he could read it, he was shocked by the thickness of the script first, "This is really amazing." Flipping open the cover, he whispered, "Calling for love at the center of the world?"
