"Of course that's fine. Watanabe Lu immediately replied, "Not to mention that this song originally belonged to Ye Jun, whether it should be released as a single or for any other use is Ye Jun's own freedom." Speaking for myself, I felt quite happy when I heard this song. Therefore, I also hope from the bottom of my heart that this song can be released as a single, so that more people can feel such a kind of happiness. ”

"Yes. Naoko Asakura held the steering wheel with one hand and made a gesture of approval with one hand free, "If it is officially released, I will buy a lot of them for my relatives and friends at home." Not only that, but I also want to make a special note that the first time this song was revealed was at my wedding to Ah Lu. ”

"In that case, when the time comes, when it is promoted, it will be specially marked as a 'wedding song for friends', how about it?" Ye Zhao asked with a smile.

"It's amazing. Naoko Asakura nodded at him.

"It's amazing. Watanabe Lu deliberately imitated Naoko Asakura's words, and said, "I'm quite in favor of it." ”

"Since both of them think so," Ye Zhao said, "when the time comes, make a sample, send it to the producer, and then decide the timing of the release." ”

That night, Ye Zhao stayed overnight at Watanabe Lu's house, and it was still the same room as last time. Early the next morning, without alarming Naoko Asakura, who was still asleep, Riku Watanabe and Ha Zhao quietly left the house and headed for the station.

At a restaurant near the station, the two of them had a simple breakfast.

"Thank you for coming this time, Ye Jun. Watanabe Rikumichi, "I'm so busy." ”

"Watanabe-go's affairs always have to be exceptional. Ye Zhao said with a serious face, "I will never forget the help that Brother Watanabe once extended to me at the beginning." For him as a newcomer, that kind of assistance was something to remember for the rest of his life.

"Anyway, please come back and do it later. Tokyo and Kyoto are a bit far away, but whether you're in Kanto or now in Kansai, I'm here to help. Riku Watanabe smiled.

……

After returning to Tokyo, Ye Zhao went to the recording studio and devoted himself to the production of the new song.

Seasons, love, mood, and motivation are just a few of the elements of pop songs that never go out of style. And the tune that Ye Zhao is going to use as the title song of the new single is a positive and bright love song.

Because the goal of the new single released this time is very clear, that is, the two words "best-selling", that is, the two words "national", so when deciding on the new song, he consciously set the goal on the future super best-selling songs.

However, as a qualified copyist, there is one thing that must be understood, that is, not all things that sell well in the future are suitable for personal use.

For example, if the song "The Only Flower in the World" by SMAP is sung to yourself, it can be concluded that 99% of the original song will not be successful, and the other 1% may be red rain in the sky.

If the songwriter Yuan Jingzhi took it and sang it himself, this song would be just his ordinary single level, even if it was a big hit, it would not be to the level of that kind of evil. It can be said that it was SMAP that made the song "The Only Flower in the World" a national song, not "The Only Flower in the World" that made SMAP a national celestial group.

Similarly, among the best-selling singles of the new century, there is also the song "Tsunami" that has to be mentioned by the stars of the southern sky, this song is really good, in terms of musicality alone, it can send the national flower flying more than 300 meters, and the sales are also very strong, and it has the record of "the last 8cm single of the 2 million level in the history of Japanese music".

But this song, if Ye Zhao is now thirty years old, he will copy it, with his current age of twenty, if he comes up with such a song that only an old man can write, I am afraid that the effect will only be counterproductive.

There are also Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada's record-setting million-dollar singles, not to mention the difference between men and women, these two, the reason why the former sells well is definitely not just music, and the reason why the latter sells well is also quite a bit of a hero created by the times, and it is naturally not suitable for use.

Therefore, in the choice of songs, it is not just a pat on the head and a copy of the red.

However, it wants the people, it wants to sell well, and it wants young people to sing without violating harmony, and it needs to be positive and catchy...... You say, how many bikes do you really want?

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Zhao finally decided to use it as the main song, which was "キセキ" from greeeen.

The song was released in 2008, when the physical market was being hit by the impact of online distribution and was becoming sluggish. So, even though the single containing this song won the fourth place on the annual chart, it only sold about half a million copies.

Compared with the era when Ye Zhao was in an era where he couldn't even touch the top 20 of the annual list when he sold 1 million copies, a single at the level of 500,000 was indeed "only", but in the market in 2008, it was already possible to sell 500,000 yuan, which was already a level where he could secretly laugh.

Moreover, the combination of greeeen, compared with physical sales, should be more eye-catching online distribution sales, as far as this song "キセキ" is concerned, physical sales of 500,000 copies, but the sales of distribution exceeded 2 million, on the karaoke list, it has been the champion of the jukebox list for two consecutive years. What does this mean?

It means that even if you just rely on karaoke to sing, you can lie at home and sleep and earn more than 100 million yuan a year.

It can be said that in Japan, the group Greeeen may not be well-known, but when "キセキ" selected national famous songs, among the top 10 songs, only the song "キセキ" was a single released after 2005. was able to beat many famous songs to enter the top ten on the list, which shows the high national popularity of this song.

Although the physical sale of "キセキ" is indispensable, the success of the Japanese drama "Rookies" is indispensable, but he is taking it out now, and it is not a fruit run that does nothing. What's more, there is no network distribution in this era.

…… Although online sharing has appeared, that is. However, it is precisely because it appeared early that it is easy to put things in order.

Speaking of which, I have to lament the domestic music market. In the era when the Internet is so developed and popular, I began to realize the copyright problem and began to implement the genuine version, which is as difficult as a chess game with two rooks, two horses and two cannons.

However, although Ye Zhao himself has a lot of confidence in the song "キセキ", when he made the audition tape of the song and gave it to Nagato Daiyu, he was vetoed by him for the first time.

"I'm sorry, Ye Jun. If this song is the main song, I'm not very optimistic. ”

Although Ye Zhao is now a singer-songwriter and does not rely on the company's in-house composers and music library, what kind of songs he wants to release still depends on the producer, that is, the meaning of Nagato Daiyuki.

The process of releasing a new single or album is basically to discuss a theme with the producer, then write a song based on that theme or choose a song from the music library, and only when the song is approved by the producer and the singer himself is satisfied, will he officially start recording.

This is why the producer has a lot of power, because he controls the singer's music style and development direction.

Just like Ye Zhao gave Kawamoto Makoto as a producer, although Kawamoto Makoto can write music by himself, but when deciding which one should be chosen as the title song, he still has to obtain his consent.

For a long time, Nagato Daiyuki has been very tolerant of Ye Zhao's music style, simply finalizing a theme, and then Ye Zhao took out the tune, he listened to it once, and then said "OK" and put it into the recording, it's that simple.

However, he is tolerant of Ye Zhao's music style because Ye Zhao has taken out best-selling songs of similar ages, and for an old fritter like him in the music world, whether it can be a big hit or not, you will know when you hear it. Once he is not at ease with this song, then he will not hesitate, even ruthlessly veto it.

For example, Daikoku Moji's single "Chotto", which was provided by Tetsuro Oda, seems a little unusual for her, a singer-songwriter, to sing the tunes of other composers.

And the story behind this is that Daikoku Moji had just become popular at that time, and in order to consolidate her popularity, Nagato Daiyuki refused the original song she handed over herself, and insisted on asking her to sing this song provided by Tetsuro Oda. It is said that during the recording of this song, Daikoku Moji was crying and singing in the studio.

Through this incident, we can also get a glimpse of the character of Nagato Daikori's supremacy.

"Why?" Faced with Nagato Daiyuki's veto, Ye Zhao asked, "Is there anything wrong with the song?"

"No, it's not a matter of tunes. Nagato Daiyuki's fingers tapped his knees lightly, "It's a good song, absolutely." Moreover, I admire Ye Jun's idea of adding rap rock elements to the song, which is really trendy. ”

Two thousand years later, elements of rap rock are everywhere, but they are really new to the present era.

That's why I hesitated. "I believe it's a good tune, but the biggest question is whether the public is ready to embrace the style." ”

"However, with a little bit of something else, the song is essentially a traditional jpop framework, and I think it should be fine. Ye Zhao tried his best to fight for himself.

Indeed, now and more than a decade later, there have been many changes in the way music is created. But since it still belongs to JPOP, there are still related places.

"That's the way it ......," Nagato Daiyuki thought for a moment, "If Ye Jun insists on releasing this song, he can put it in the single as a C/song, or how about sending a double A single and putting it in the back?" 2k reading net
