What does it feel like to earn 80 million yen in a month?

I guess that's what the title of Zard's second single feels like...... I don't think about it....

Music magazines and intelligence programs called this October "Ye Zhao's October", in this October, first Kawamoto Makoto's debut single reached nearly 90,000 copies in three weeks, and Ye Zhao's own debut album sold more than 500,000 copies in two weeks, and on October 24, SMAP's new single "The Other Side of the Night Sky" also sold 360,000 copies in the first week, setting a record for the highest first week of SMAP's single career.

Regardless of whether it will reach one million in the future, but with this initial achievement, Ye Zhao's task this time can be regarded as a successful completion.

For Janiss' idols, it has always been more popular than selling songs, and providing singles to SMAP, which is rising rapidly, does not need to worry too much about sales by virtue of their own popularity. If there is Ye Zhao's topic bonus of the million-level best-selling singer now, it is not a problem to go to the next level.

Of course, there is also the extremely popular Takuya Kimura, and Janis accepted Ye Zhao's suggestion, and Takuya Kimura played the guitar during the performance. It is said that when Takuya Kimura played the guitar on "Hey!Hey!Hey!", when their new single was first revealed, the ratings of this episode began to soar. By the time the show ended, the TV station's audience phone was almost blown up, and without exception, all of them hoped that Takuya Kimura would do this again.

The beauty Helen sparked the Trojan War, and the power of beauty is really huge. Although Takuya Kimura's beauty will not cause a big war between the housewives of East Japan and West Japan, it is enough to make the housewives go crazy for him.

There is still a week left before the end of October, and the sales of records related to Ye Zhao have reached nearly one million copies, including more than half a million albums that are a full 2,500 yen higher than the price of a single of 1,000 yen. As a composer, the profits he made were almost 65 million yen.

In addition, there is also income from other channels such as karaoke on demand, radio on demand, and TV broadcasting, plus Kawamoto Makoto, because of the name of the producer, in addition to the traditional lyrics and music royalties, you can also take a second cut as a producer after the record profits are received, and if you add up the total, Ye Zhao's income in this October has almost exceeded 80 million yen.

Of course, this so-called income has to pay an outrageous personal income tax of 37 percent. It wasn't until he became an artist that Ye Zhao understood why George Harrison deliberately wrote a song "Taxman" to ridicule taxes in the Beatles era. It's really too much to pay as a celebrity......

Therefore, there are many artists who forget to pay taxes when they get their income, and they first squander it to their heart's content, and when the tax bill is sent, they find that they have lost money.

In the era when bank cards were not yet commonplace, companies paid salaries in cash. The man threw the "pia" money in the envelope on the table, and the majesty of the head of the family reached its climax with the sound of "pia".

If all 80 million yen were to be exchanged for cash and put on the table, the impact would be very strong, but that would be impossible. Moreover, now that he only got a rough estimate, Ye Zhao was very calm, "Oh...... Is that so?", he reacted. …… Anyway, it's at least a few months before you actually get your hands on it.

……

The next time I met Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura was at Sony Records' studio in Shibaura, Minato-ku, where Ye Akira and Makoto Kawamoto were working on a demo of their new single.

"What a coincidence, both. When they met in the corridor, Ye Zhao greeted them.

Compared with Ye Zhao, who said "it's too coincidental" like no one else, the faces of the two girls, Ami Okan and Yumi Yoshimura, were unconcealable surprises. And this surprise did not come from the reunion with Ye Zhao, but.

"When Mr. Okazaki called us over, I thought I was going to be fired!" said Ami Okan, "but what I didn't expect was that Mr. Okazaki asked me to go to the studio with Yumi-chan to sing together, and then told us that we were going to form a group." I never thought I'd make my debut!"

"What is even more surprising than this is that Mr. Okazaki told us that the person who proposed this plan was Ye Zhao-san. Yumi Yoshimura said in a tone that finally understood, "When Ye Zhao-san asked me to sing Ami-san's song with Ami, I already decided that we would form a group, right?"

"To be exact, when Miss Yoshimura told me that you like pandas too. Ye Zhao said deliberately.

"I'll just say it, right?" Yumi Yoshimura smiled and tugged at Ami Okan's sleeve, "Ye Zhaosang is a panda fanatic. ”

Ami Okuni remembered the conversation with Yumi Yoshimura at that time, a little funny, and a little embarrassed to laugh in front of Ye Zhao, so she had to nod at Yumi Yoshimura and wink.

The intimate little action between two cute girls, this scene is really picturesque...... Ahem. Silently putting away the lily soul that appeared in an instant, Ye Zhao asked with some curiosity: "What is that 'giant panda fanatic'?"

"Well," Yumi Yoshimura said with a big grin, "Didn't Ye Zhaosang ask Ami when he first met her, 'Do you like pandas?' I think it's probably because I like pandas very much." So that's it. ”

"But, in my heart, I must be thinking, 'What kind of strange question is this?' Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Yumi Yoshimura smiled but didn't answer. But if you look at the expression, it definitely means "why do you have to ask again if you know why".

"Although it's a bit bad to pour cold water," Ye Zhao did not shy away from telling the two parties about the bet with Tadao Okazaki, "At that time, my agreement with Mr. Okazaki was that if Miss Kawamoto's debut single could enter the top 100 of the annual chart, the production plan of the two groups would be officially launched." Otherwise, it may be delayed for a long time, or even ruined. ”

"Isn't this a bet on my future and Ami's?"

"So, I feel a little uncomfortable here. ”

"Ye Zhaosang, if this kind of behavior is placed in Osaka, it will be scolded by the people of Osaka. I don't know if Yumi Yoshimura's words are true or just a joke.

"I think," Ye Zhao added consciously, "this kind of thing, even in Tokyo, will be scolded, right?"

"Not necessarily. Yumi Yoshimura is straightforward, "Tokyoites are very reserved. Even if he felt that Ye Zhaosang was 'absolutely unforgivable' in his heart, he would smile on his face and say 'big husband' while waving his hand. ”

…… Is this an attack by the people of Osaka against the people of Tokyo?

However, Yumi Yoshimura's words were just jokes. After finishing his mouth, he smiled and said, "What I said just now was deliberately said like that." Actually, Mr. Okazaki had already told us about it when he called us over. However, Ami and I both felt that the two of us had no future in the first place, and it was good luck to suddenly have such an opportunity. Even if you do fail in the end, there is nothing to regret. ”

"And," Ami Osaka is quite optimistic, "Miss Kawamoto's singles have always been doing well, and it should be easy to achieve the goal that Ye Zhao-san set with Mr. Okazaki." ”

"I hope so," Ye Zhao smiled, "In that case, I will be able to work with the two of you for a while." ”

……

The reunion with Ami Otsuki and Yumi Yoshimura was like the most ordinary episode in life, and it was immediately put aside. Before the small goal set by Kawamoto Makoto was officially achieved and the project to make Puffy officially began, the two of them were really just passers-by here in Ye Zhao.

In the blink of an eye, there are only two days left until October 28, Nakano Sunplaza's concert. On the evening of October 26, the last and most formal rehearsal before the official start took place in the venue.

The rehearsal, including costumes, stage, props, opening and so on, will be carried out in full accordance with the official performance two days later. All the musicians and backing vocals who supported the concert were also in place.

As a pioneer in the stingy door industry and a singer of being company that has not pursued the level of the grandfather, Ye Zhao's concert is very simple, and it has nothing to do with this concert. Not only is it so simple that there is not even a stage smokescreen, but even the costumes for the whole concert are so simple that they seem to be wholesaled by Muji.

However, although the secret poke poked in my heart to put a bunch of stingy labels on being, but the audio equipment, musical instruments, etc. of the whole concert are all first-class, although there is a suspicion of over-minimalism in other places, but the most important thing is that it is also the thing that supports the essence of the concert, but it is not discounted at all.

From this point of view, being is still very conscientious. It's just that although this is really good from the perspective of returning to the essence, with the development of the times, when singers need to rely on things other than songs to attract increasingly critical audiences, such minimalism is about the same as no charm.

A concert that is only one hour and thirty minutes, deducting the opening at the beginning, the live talk in the middle, the band sho link, and the final shouting encore, the time for singing is about one hour and ten minutes. Moreover, because it is a small concert, if you play too many tricks and take up too much time other than singing, it will give the audience a feeling of "not worth the ticket price".

For Ye Zhao, who has only released five singles and an album after counting the underground singles and collaborative singles, the songs he has released now are just enough for him to support such a small venue concert. Therefore, in terms of song selection, his audience can be said to have no need to look forward to it at all. The only thing that needs to be thought about is how to arrange the order.

The musicians and harmony staff of the band were on standby on the stage one step in advance, watching the opening through the backstage monitor, and when the broadcast was halfway through, under the guidance of the staff, Ye Zhao came to the side of the stage to standby, and took advantage of this time to check whether there was any problem with the microphone for the last time.

Although only the staff of this concert are sitting in the audience at this moment, everyone still has to show the investment that is not lost to the official performance, and rehearse from beginning to end. is not only singing, but also enthusiastically shouting at the empty venue, "Please get up together~", although he already knew that the concert would be absolutely full on the day of the concert, but when he shouted like this, Ye Zhao couldn't help but think in his heart, those singers who opened the "empty banquet festival", facing the depressed audience, still have to cheer up and cheer up, that feeling is really like a punishment.

In any case, the entertainment industry is such a world that is tolerant of people who are popular and cruel to people who are out of style.

After the last two encore songs, the stage lights slowly dimmed, and with the concert producer's "OK!" lit up again, Ye Zhao and the musicians put down their instruments, bowed to each other, and said "hard work~" to the staff in charge of this rehearsal.

After the necessary greetings and bows have passed, everyone will sit down in a row and begin to discuss the performance just now, and in order to make the performance more perfect in two days, point out the shortcomings and shortcomings found and discuss better solutions.

After all the process has passed, it is already after twelve o'clock in the night, and people who are preparing for the concert must definitely avoid things like drinking, so after the announcement of the end, everyone tacitly did not go out to get together, anyway, the celebration banquet after the end of the first day of the concert is absolutely indispensable.

……

On the evening of October 27, the day before the concert began, Ye Zhao was a little absent for a long time, and he went on a date alone with Yukie Nakama.

Skillfully cutting the steak, Yuki Nakama sighed quietly: "I always feel that it is a little exaggerated." ”

She was talking about making a reservation in advance and chartering the entire restaurant.

Ye Zhao said deliberately, "In this case, isn't it a little grandiose? For example, after eating the ring in the dessert, and then the waiter in the store pulled the salute, I knelt down on one knee and put the ring on you or something......"

"Huh?" Yukie Nakama was a little serious, and was taken aback by Xiaoxiao, "It's ...... to get married."

"I'm not going to do that kind of thing with a ring in food. Ye Zhao smiled, "Moreover, you are only sixteen years old now, if I want to marry you, I will probably be repaired by your father and three brothers as liars, and then thrown out of the house." 2k reading network
