"Shooting the MV?" the woman hesitated, her expression softened, "I see." Regarding this matter, I can't give Xiaohui the decision, you better discuss her yourself. ”

"You're not her agent?"

"I was a teacher at the Okinawa Actors Society, and I accompanied her to Tokyo for an audition. The woman explained, looking at Yukie Nakama, "You heard it just now, what's the matter, do you want to give it a try?"

Yuki Nakama's cautious gaze shifted back and forth between Ye Zhao and the few people beside him a few times, and the defensive look on his face finally subsided a little. After thinking about it, she asked timidly: "Are you the Ye Zhaosang who sang "Summer Color"?"

Ye Zhao nodded, "It's like a fake." ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, Yukie Nakama relaxed and showed a shy smile, "This song is very popular in Okinawa, and everyone sings this song in karaoke." ”

"Thank you for liking this song, in that case, are you interested in being the heroine of my MV now?"

"But I barely know how to act......"

"It doesn't matter, it's just a very simple MV, even if you haven't learned acting, you can do it. ”

"If you don't hate me for dragging your feet, I'm willing to try. Nakama Yuki said, "However, will Yoshinaga-sensei also go with you?"

"Of course. You are still a minor, and it is appropriate for a guardian to follow. ”

Ye Zhao wants to play an unprecedented trick in the new single, that is, to shoot two different MVs for the main single, broadcast them on different TV stations, and arouse the curiosity of the audience through the two completely different MVs, in addition, he also plans to boldly release 12CM singles in this era when 8CM is popular, and attach the MV to it.

The 8CM single has many benefits, especially the portability, which greatly promotes the sales of the single, but the 12CM single also has its incomparable advantages: the large capacity and the ability to come with a booklet make it easier for artists and companies to expand and produce CD content.

In the 90s, the first time a 12CM single hit was in 1995, when Masaharu Fukuyama's single "HELLO" was released in the form of 12CM and won one million in one fell swoop, becoming the first 12CM million single in the official statistics of ORICON, although the first to get one million certification from the RB Record Association was B'z released as a mini album in 1989, and finally 156 weeks on the chart, becoming B'z's "BAD COMMUNICATION".

Nowadays, if a 12CM single is released, it is like having a natural topicality, which is very useful for the promotion of the single. If it weren't for Ye Zhao's rejection of the plural commercial law, he would still plan to make a new return to the usual system to rush sales, but this matter is just to think about, he doesn't want to be criticized as the root of all evil when later people trace the CD commercial law......

The MV originally decided was that Ye Zhao took the band LIVE in the studio, and then the company's scissorhands cut in a little bit of the recording tidbits to make a simple MV.

The content of the second MV was improvised by Ye Zhao, at the beginning of the MV, the heroine played by Nakama Yuki Hui walked on the street with a mini video camera in hand, and the picture under her lens was constantly changing with the snowflakes, and on the other side, Ye Zhao, who was also holding a mini video camera, was also strolling on the street, and the scenery in the lens was constantly changing, of course, the so-called snowflakes must be special effects added in the later stage.

As the song gradually turned in, the images that appeared in the video recorders of the two began to overlap, until the song came to an end, and the video recorder in Nakama Yukie's hand showed Ye Zhao slowly walking towards her.

After listening to Ye Zhao's concept, the director didn't have any special opinions, but Yukie Nakama was a little embarrassed, through Ye Zhao's description, she probably also understood that this was a winter song, but as a native of Okinawa, she had never seen snow. "Is this really possible? Let me, someone who has never even seen snow, be the MV of a winter song?"

"Absolutely. For example, if you've never planted an apple tree, don't you eat apples?"

"It seems so. Yuki Nakama nodded ignorantly and acquiesced to this statement. This confused expression is so cute...... Ye Zhao sighed like an uncle in his heart, and said: "Hokkaido has ushered in the first snow a while ago, otherwise this year's winter vacation, I invite you and your family to go on vacation to Hokkaido and see the real snow?"

"Eh~" Yukie Nakama was a little tempted.

"That's it," Ye Zhao clapped his head, "Wait a while, you leave your contact information and address, and I'll let Shangcun arrange everything, just as a thank you for suddenly asking you to shoot the MV." Speaking of which, you helped me too, otherwise it would be very troublesome to find the right actress temporarily. ”

decided to go out on location, Yuki Uemura hurriedly went out to negotiate the place, and during this time, Ye Zhao and the band completed the filming of the first version of the MV first. The final decision on the exterior part requisitioned the area around the Sanxuan Tea House where Ye Zhao lived, and the whole filming process went very smoothly, and he really entered his role, whether it was Ye Zhao or Yukie Nakama, there was no situation where they might fall off the chain as they were worried about before.

When the shooting was over, Ye Zhao gave the bouquet that Yuki Uemura had ordered in advance to Yuki Nakama, "It's hard work, I hope we can work together again in the future." ”

Nakama Yukie took the bouquet, "I'm here, it's an honor to be able to participate in Ye Zhaosang's work." ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "I'm not much older than you, I don't need to be so polite, just take it easy." ”

Yukie Nakama let out a soft "um". Ye Zhao was not reluctant, and then went to thank the staff who participated in the shooting.

……

After the MV was filmed, the next thing to solve was the problem of the album cover and inner pages. On the album cover, Ye Zhao chose to use Yukie Nakama again, not because he wanted to take a picture of her current beauty in his prime and collect it, but just to echo the MV and create a little mystery by the way.

What was finally confirmed as the album cover was a photo of Yuki Nakama smiling at the camera with a white rabbit in her arms, which was kindly sponsored by a pet shop at Sangen Teahouse.

SINCE YE ZHAO PLANNED TO USE THE 12CM SINGLE, HE HAD TO PREPARE A PART OF THE PHOTOS TO BE USED AS THE INNER PAGE, THIS TIME HE DID NOT REFUSE THE BEING PHOTOGRAPHER'S EXCELLENT ANGLE, AND HONESTLY WAS TAKEN FOR NEARLY TWO HOURS, AND THEN HE AND THE TEAM PICKED OUT THE PART FROM HUNDREDS OF PHOTOS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THE INNER PAGE.

After the finished MV came out, due to technical limitations, the snowflakes in it could no longer be fake, but even so, the money that should have been spent was not less than that - of course, that money must not even be compared to a single hair of a certain Hawaiian house-burning diva or a certain moldy girl lying in a bathtub of diamonds.

By the way, because it was an off-budget shooting, the cost was paid by ZYE in the end.

The use of 12CM singles, the cost will also increase correspondingly, the cost will increase, the price will inevitably rise, and the excessively high price will make the advantage of the single disappear - in the 90s, the reason why the single sold well, cheap is also one of the reasons. In the end, the single was priced at 1,165 yen, including 3% consumption tax, of course.

Although BEING lacks media resources, there is a two-minute mini-program "NO." in the evening prime time of TV Asahi, which is specially used to play some tidbits shot by BEING singers in the studio or a short version of the MV exclusive to the program, after the single entered the publicity link, Ye Zhao's first MV was sent here for broadcast and promotion.

As for the second MV filmed by Yukie Nakama, Ye Zhao once again paid out of his own pocket and contacted MTVJapan through ZYE to play this MV.

In addition, Jun Takeda also tried to contact some group resources for Ye Zhao, but with the company's current strength, it is very difficult to have any good resources, in the entertainment industry, 20% of people enjoy 80% of the resources, and 80% of the people have to fight for 20% of the resources.

Facing the various notices handed over by Takeda Jun, Ye Zhao thought for a while and put down the pile of paper, "Takeda San, I have an idea. ”

"Thoughts?"

"Let's go on a trip together!"
