The signing of a record company and the big sales of two singles, except for the sudden leap in economy, did not bring much impact and change to Ye Zhao's life. He has only appeared on TV once since his debut, and even if he walks on the street without any disguise, few people can call his name. In this respect, the taxi driver who recognized him at a glance was truly discerning.

Singer-songwriter is a relatively more leisurely and comfortable profession, except for recording songs and promoting the period, which will be a little busier, that is, when the national tour is busy for so many months, after all, the inspiration is limited, as long as you can ensure the release rate of one or two films a year, it is considered a successful completion of the task. As a singer of BEING, there is basically no need to run publicity, and as for touring, it is even more distant for a singer with only four songs, so the current Ye Zhao can be said to be a complete free man.

When he was busy in his previous life, what Ye Zhao was looking forward to was when he made enough money, and he would fart and sleep at home to live a retirement life in advance, but now, when he really carried a treasure mountain in his arms that was enough for him to squander for a lifetime, he didn't want to be idle at all. With such a big golden finger to live a new life, if it is just to be a rice worm, such a life is at best just a salted fish with diamonds.

When he was rich and free, the first thing Ye Zhao wanted to do was not to engage in "world martial arts", but how to enrich himself. Even if he relies on the goldfinger and the reborn's own traversal ability, which is enough for him to call the wind and rain in the 23 years from 1994 to 2017, if he does not have enough hard power and vision, this kind of success is also vulnerable. Now, he not only studied arranging with Masao Akashi as usual, harassed Tetsuro Oda to take a composing script, but also went to the screenwriting school to register for a name in private to learn how to write scripts.

RB in the 90s, although the record industry was thriving and the ratings of TV dramas were rising step by step, the market for local films could be said to be miserable, and they were beaten by foreign films without fighting back. It is precisely because of the decline of local films that a large number of talents who were originally engaged in the film industry have switched to TV stations, which has promoted the continuous improvement of the production level of TV dramas, bringing about a prosperous golden age of Japanese dramas.

In those discs brought by Ye Zhao, in addition to records, there are also DVDs of classic movies and TV series, since they have been relived for a lifetime, of course, they have to be a little mixed with the pursuit of the apex of the industry, in addition to catching up with the golden age of records to engage in music, it is also necessary to take advantage of the RB movie depression to make a name for themselves. However, unlike music, which can be easily realized, it is very difficult to turn the flowing picture back into a black and white script, especially the creative mode of the script, which is very different from a novel or the like.

It's easy to retell a story, but it's a lot more troublesome to write it into a layered script. Just like he is unwilling to rely on external arrangers, Ye Zhao does not want to be an "inspiration provider" who can only tell the story orally and then turn the story into a script by professionals.

The best flowers bloom on the worst soil. Succeeding in the golden age of recording was a matter of course, but achieving success in the dark age of cinema was something he needed to explore.

……

On this day, just after the two-hour class, Ye Zhao left the school, but was stopped by a young man in a black suit.

"Do I know you?"

"Ye Zhaosang, I am a staff member of the BRUNING office," the young man reported to his home, "That's right, our Hexi chief wants to meet you." ”

"BRUNING OFFICE?" Ye Zhao looked at the young man, his face suspicious. Seeing this, the young man took out his work card from his suit pocket and handed it to Ye Zhao, with the words BRUNING PROJECT written on it, and his name was Hiroshi Minamino.

Seeing that Ye Zhao confirmed his identity, Nanye Hongzhi pointed across the road, "Hexi Chang is in the café over there, Ye Zhaosang, please?"

Please, please. Ye Zhao also wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd by BRUNING, a company that was opposed to BEING, and suddenly found a singer under BEING.

As the Minister of Propaganda of BRUNING, Naruo Kawanishi, is not only trusted by Zhou Fang Yuxiong, but also a window-type figure in the foreign exchange of the Burning Department, he is nearly fifty years old, his cheeks are slightly blessed, but those scheming eyes still make him look quite oppressive, and it is also this oppressive force that reminds Ye Zhao: This character is not easy to mess with.

"Minister, Ye Zhaosang is already here. Hiroshi Minamino came up to him and whispered.

Hexi Chengfu nodded and pointed to the seat opposite, "Ye Jun, please take a seat." He beckoned the waiter to come over: "Give this young man a glass of espresso." ”

Without asking for other people's opinions, such a domineering attitude made Ye Zhao frown slightly, but he didn't have a seizure. Nario Kawanishi took his reaction in his eyes, and the corners of his drooping mouth raised slightly.

"I don't know what Mr. Kawanishi is looking for me?"

Hexi Chengfu did not directly enter the topic, but said approvingly: "Ye Jun is really a talent, with your appearance, it is really a big loss for the film and television industry not to be an actor." ”

Ye Zhao didn't pick up, but said in a joking tone, "If I go to be an actor, won't it be the music industry that suffers losses." With the actual performance of his two hit singles, this sentence is much more apt than Nario Kawanishi's compliment.

"Haha. Hexi Chengfu laughed twice, "Ye Jun is really frank. Needless to say, your musical talent goes without saying, but in my opinion, you also have a lot of potential to cultivate as an actor. ”

"Thanks to Mr. Hexi, I can afford it, but I still know how many catties I have. ”

"Don't say that. There are only a few real geniuses in the world, and the vast majority of people still have to be cultivated by nurture. Naruo Kawanishi slowly introduced the topic, "You also know the strength of the BRUNING firm, right? Our resources in film and television can be said to be among the best in the industry, if you are willing to join, within a year, we can promote you to become a popular actor." ”

In less than a year, a person with zero experience will be promoted to a popular actor, which is what BRUNING, who has a thick waist, dares to say. SPEAKING OF WHICH, YE ZHAO CAN ALSO SEE THAT BRUNING IS COMMITTING HIS OLD MISTAKE OF POACHING AGAIN.

Looking back on BRUNING's family history, a key word that can never be avoided is poaching, and a large part of the reason why he can expand rapidly is that he relies on both soft and hard to pick peaches from the branches of other firms, which almost the entire entertainment industry suffers from. Now that the cow has broken to dominate the idol world, Jennis, who can ban a promising artist in a word, was poached by BRUNING at the time of their top name Xiangguangmei, and Kitagawa was helpless about it.

"Mr. Kawanishi means that you want me to sign a brokerage contract with BRUNING?"

"No, to be precise, what we want is the full contract, including your record contract. Nario Kawanishi corrected.

"My record contract is signed under the name of BEING. Ye Zhao reminded, "And President Nagato has put a lot of effort into my mainstream debut, so I can't be an ungrateful person." ”

"Unthankful? With all due respect, what did President Nagato give you? Your fame is earned by yourself, and the lyrics and songs are also done by yourself, even if you are not BEING from beginning to end, you can get the current success in any company, if you really want to talk about it, it is still President Nagato who got a bargain from you, but in addition to the royalties that belong to you, what can you get in BEING? A mere record production company, a few years ago, it couldn't even sign a record contract, and now it is, and the resources in the media are almost zero, so wouldn't it be a delay for such an excellent talent as you to stay there?" Nario Kawanishi persuaded.

Ye Zhao, who didn't intend to have anything to do with this industry's No. 1 underworld, refused very simply: "I'm sorry, although Mr. Hexi's conditions are very tempting, but please allow me to refuse, I am a newcomer who has just debuted, if I change my court for a little profit, what will the circle think of me? I don't want to be a white-eyed wolf." ”

"Ye Jun had better think about it again. Naruo Hexi rolled his neck, "As an artist, you must seize a good opportunity decisively, otherwise, maybe one day you will fall because of something." In his breezy tone, there was a faint threat.

Ye Zhao smiled, "In life, how can there be a person who doesn't fall on his heels? ”

"'Isn't it okay to get up?'" Hexi Chengfu repeated Ye Zhao's words, and suddenly showed his face, "Since that's the case, I'll wait and see." ”

YE ZHAO DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THE MEANING OF KAWANISHI CHENGFU'S WORDS, ANYWAY, EVERYONE KNEW THAT BUNING AND BEING WERE COMPETITORS, HE PUSHED THE COFFEE CUP FORWARD LIGHTLY AND STOOD UP, "IF IT'S OKAY, I'LL LEAVE FIRST." With that, he bowed a little and left the café.

Seeing Ye Zhao's back push the door and leave, Nanno Hongzhi, who was sitting at the bar, came to Naruo Kawanishi, "Minister, how did you talk to Ye Zhao?"

Naruo Kawanishi's expression was very pleasant, "The talk has collapsed." ”

"The conversation collapsed, so you are still smiling so happily?" Minamino Hiroshi was a little puzzled.

"This Ye Zhao is much more interesting than I imagined. Naruo Kawanishi ignored his words, "Go back and tell the public relations department, don't press it, start next week, and start attacking one after another." ”

"It's all because this kid doesn't know how to lift, if he listens to the minister, how can he ......"

"It's better to let him disappear in the entertainment world," Nario Kawanishi interrupted, "I want to appreciate now how he will climb up after he falls." ”
