Things have to go back to the backstage of MS that day. After chatting about being set as a formula opponent by the magazine, Masaharu Fukuyama offered to hope that Ye Zhao would be a guest on his radio show when he was free.

A large part of the reason for such an invitation actually comes from the outside world.

When the rumors of "Masaharu Fukuyama No. 2" gradually rose, Masaharu Fukuyama's fans did something to black Ye Zhao, and when Ye turned over with "WINTER, AGAIN", Ye Zhao's fans and "righteous passers-by" who had been suppressed before turned Fukuyama Masaharu into black.

In such a situation, Masaharu Fukuyama and Ye Zhao, who are the parties involved, both hope to be able to calm things down quickly, so while Masaharu Fukuyama handed over the invitation, Ye Zhao also hurriedly caught it, trying to ease the tense atmosphere between fans together.

The day after MS ended, Masaharu Fukuyama's agent sent the broadcast invitation directly to ZYE, and Ye Zhao also made time to appear as scheduled as scheduled as previously agreed.

Although both of them look like "idols" when looking at their faces, in terms of guitar skills, both of them are quite good among singers. Of course, only in relation to the "singer", and not the "guitarist".

Both sides are guitar singers, and the knowledge of music that has been constantly supplemented after rebirth has given Ye Zhao and real musicians the confidence to talk, and for a combination of various reasons, when the broadcast ended, the two people who hated to see each other immediately decided to collaborate on a single, which startled the agents of the two.

……

RB's entertainment market has always played its own game, and this is also evident in the record label's strategy. In the RB music scene, even singers from the same record company rarely have the opportunity to collaborate on records, and the most common cooperation model is nothing more than one party providing lyrics and songs for the other party to sing, such as cooperating in songs is rare, not to mention that Ye Aki and Masaharu Fukuyama are not only record companies, but also agency companies are completely different.

Of course, although cross-company cooperation is rare, it is not impossible, not to mention, WANDS and Miho Nakayama is a long-term cooperation between companies and offices and factions, of course, this cooperation is jointly promoted by the senior management of the company of all parties, and it is not the same as the situation where Ye Zhao Fukuyama Masaharu has reached an agreement in private.

However, since there is a precedent, it is not impossible to move forward smoothly.

Ye Zhao and Masaharu Fukuyama are both actioners, and after deciding to collaborate on a single, they agreed to negotiate with their own company bosses.

Ye Zhao's side is simpler, his agent is in his own hands, and the only thing to convince is Changhu Daxing. Masaharu Fukuyama had to solve a little more, in addition to negotiating with his agency AMUSE, and convincing his record company BMG JAPAN. (Note: Masaharu Fukuyama's record at this time was about BMG JAPAN, and then he moved to Global).

AMUSE, a firm, may be a clear stream in the RB entertainment industry that pays attention to model operation. Their business philosophy is quite de-localized, unlike other firms that treat artists as contractors, but quite respect the wishes of their artists and always maintain a cooperative relationship.

To use an inappropriate analogy, AMUSE is like the operator of a large shopping mall, and his artists are like merchants who have signed a contract with him, although the merchants have to pay commissions (shares) to the operators, but in essence, the artists are "self-employed" rather than "company employees", so within the scope of allowability, AMUSE's artists are quite autonomous.

When Masaharu Fukuyama approached AMUSE's senior management, he not only happily agreed to the cooperation plan, but also took the initiative to help Masaharu Fukuyama negotiate with BMG. After having AMUSE's help, BMG also readily agreed.

As for Ye Zhao's side, the relationship between BEING and BMG at this time is still acceptable, and Nagato Daiyuki has no special opinions on cooperating with AMUSE and BMG. The only thing that is a little unpleasant is that the publisher of this single is not BEING but BMG, so BEING has nothing to make on this record.

But this is also an inevitable result, Masaharu Fukuyama's qualifications and fame are all above Ye Zhao, this single can only be "Masaharu Fukuyama× Ye Zhao", not "Ye Zhao ×Masaharu Fukuyama".

Of course, BEING's side did not give away the money for nothing, and in exchange, BEING got the TIE-UP of two TV series and movies that AMUSE artists will appear in.

After the collaboration was confirmed, Akira Ha and Masaharu Fukuyama decided to make a spring single inspired by the joke about Tamori on MS that day. Although the concept was only confirmed, and the specific song was not even come up, the two sides couldn't wait to spread the news of the cooperation through the magazine.

As soon as the news came out, the melon-eating masses who had just watched "Fushan Ye Zhao Lying Gun" for half a year, the fans who tore up in the dark for their idols, and the righteous passers-by who fished in troubled waters and turned black at both ends were suddenly dumbfounded: What kind of operation is this wave?

……

In terms of song selection, Ye Zhao and Masaharu Fukuyama agreed that each person would write a song, and then based on the opinions of the record company, one of them was selected as the main song, and the other song was put in as C/W.

In fact, the spring song Masaharu Fukuyama has a ready-made "Sakurasaka" under his name, this single released in 2000, the demon sold more than 2 million copies, and it is the most popular song of Masaharu Fukuyama.

But Ye Zhao didn't plan to use this song, just threw off the hat of "Fukuyama Masaharu No. 2", and then took out a song with a super strong flavor of Fukuyama Masaharu, isn't it nothing to find trouble? Besides, the Sakurasaka in Fukuyama Masaharu refers to the Sakurasaka of his old Magasaki Matsushima, not the Sakurasaka in Ota District, Tokyo, and it is too dangerous to break this kind of thing in front of the main owner, so there is really no need to do it.

In the end, Ye Zhao took out another cherry blossom song. The name of this song is "Sakura", and the original singer's コブクロ (bitter cola) also happens to be a duo.

Around the beginning of the big hit of "Sakurasaka", there will be singers in the RB music scene every year to release cherry blossom songs, and if you type the word "Sakura" in the search box, it is estimated that you can search for hundreds of related songs. Among these cherry blossom songs, the bitter cola's "Sakura" is by no means the best-selling, but the melody and lyrics are considered good, and they will not be left behind in the annual inventory of cherry blossom songs. Considering that the single was officially released in 2006, it is no longer very reliable to judge the quality of the song by sales.

Interestingly, although it is a cherry blossom song, when Bitter Cola released this single, it was not in the spring, but in the autumn.

As a copyist, Ye Zhao's music is really easy, but Masaharu Fukuyama has to spend real brain cells to create, out of respect, he did not rush to contact Masaharu Fukuyama, but decided to contact him later after Masaharu Fukuyama was completed.

……

ON FEBRUARY 10, AFTER A FOUR-MONTH LITIGATION PERIOD, BEING'S LAWSUIT AGAINST WEEKLY NEW WAVE WAS FINALLY CONCLUDED. On the premise that the evidence is conclusive, the "Weekly New Wave" party was already doomed to defeat, and at the time of the final trial, the magazine did not even send a representative, and the final verdict was completed by the lawyer's representation throughout the whole process.

Four months is a long four months, but compared to a lawsuit that takes one or two years, it can already be called "god speed". In terms of resolving this matter, Ye Zhao adopted a very "non-RB" solution, and after the verdict, he directly contacted the Asahi Shimbun through ZYE, bought one-half of the entertainment edition at a price of 5 million yen, and published the apology of "Weekly New Wave" on it.

As for the source of the 5 million yen, although the "Weekly Shincho" was not really sentenced to more than 200 million in compensation, it also faced a compensation of up to 50 million yen. And this part of the compensation, Ye Zhao and BEING will get 10 million yen of it in the sharing agreement at the time of signing. After buying the newspaper page, 5 million yen will still be credited to ZYE's account.

Of course, that's all for later.

When the entertainment edition of the Asahi Shimbun published the apology of the "Weekly New Wave" as scheduled, the sales of the Asahi Shimbun soared by 360,000 copies on that day, and even people who had never paid attention to entertainment bought a copy in order to see this unprecedented practice.

In this matter, the outside world's evaluation of Ye Zhao is mixed, needless to say, the good ones are mostly praised for his neat and neat actions, and the bad part is also known when you think about it, it is nothing more than accusing him of being unforgiving and not measured.

Ye Zhao has always maintained a deaf attitude towards the comments of the outside world, but his friends have called him a lot one after another, Daikoku Moji and Uesugi Sheng, who firmly thought that Ye Zhao's approach was bold and relieved, and expressed one hundred and twenty approvals, while Oda Tetsuro said with disgust, "It's boring", and Akashi Masao was a little dissatisfied and criticized him for acting too recklessly.

The most interesting thing is Masaharu Fukuyama's reaction. Although the collaboration single was decided, the two did not leave each other's numbers, but only exchanged contact information with each other's agents.

The day after the newspaper was released, just after arriving downstairs at the office, Yuki Uemura received a call from Masaharu Fukuyama's agent. After the phone was answered, it was Masaharu Fukuyama's voice coming from there, "Hello, I'm Fukuyama, can you ask Ye Jun to answer the phone if it's convenient?"

"Oh, please wait. Uemura Yuki handed the phone to Ye Zhao, "Ye Zhao-san, Fukuyama-san's phone." ”

Ye Zhao took the phone, "Hello Fushan-san, I'm Ye Zhao." ”

"Hahaha......" There was a burst of laughter on the other end of the phone. Ye Zhao looked at the number displayed on the screen, and asked Uemura Yuki in confusion, "Uemura, are you sure it's not a harassing call?"

"Harassing phone calls are too much, Ye Jun. On the phone, Masaharu Fukuyama said with a smile.

"No, it's all Fukuyama-san's problem, right?" Ye Zhao complained.

"I'm sorry, I'm just trying to express my feelings after reading the newspaper more intuitively. Having said that, there was no sense of apology in his tone at all, "Ye Jun, you are really funny." ”

Ye Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth, "If it's a compliment, I'll accept it." Otherwise, please allow me to refuse with all my might. ”

"Appreciation, definitely appreciation!" Masaharu Fukuyama's tone became a little more serious, "Ye Jun, I like the way you handle it. ”

"Thank you," Ye Zhao thanked him, and his words changed, "However, did Fushan-san call specifically for this matter?"

"Of course...... No!" Masaharu Fukuyama said, "Ye Jun, you shouldn't have forgotten that we made an appointment to write a song, right?

"Of course......" Ye Zhao learned from his tone just now and lengthened his tone, "Of course it's done!"

"In that case, make an appointment to listen to it, right?"

"No problem, the time and place will be decided by Fukuyama-san. ”

……

Go upstairs and come to the office.

As soon as he sat down, Yuki Tamura walked in with a small package.

"President, I have your package. ”

"Put it on the table. Ye Zhao nodded, and glanced at Yuki Tamura, "Got your hair cut?" Yuki Tamura had shoulder-length hair before, but now it suddenly became a neat short hair like a tomboy.

Yuki Tamura subconsciously touched the end of his hair, "It was cut according to Miss Uchida's hairstyle, what does the president think?"

"Yuki Uchida?"

"That's right! I've never seen someone with short hair like Miss Uchida, so I can't help but learn from her. ”

"It's good, but you can't learn from her heroic feeling. ”

"Of course, Ms. Uchida is unique. Yuki Tamura smiled, owed, and walked out of the office.

"Yuki Uchida, ah......"

Speaking of Yuki Uchida, Ye Zhao has two and a half impressions of her. The first is that she filmed the bloody lily drama "Who Stole My Heart" in 1992, in which she bent the heroine Isshiki Saei, who was originally in love with Takuya Kimura, and achieved the epic achievement of "succeeding in robbing women with Takuya Kimura".

The second is that in 2012, she participated in the drama "Doctor~X~ Surgeon Unknown Son" starring Ryoko Yonekura, in this play, the anesthesiologist she played and Ryoko Yonekura played the unknown son of the gate "eyebrows and love", and a medical drama was passed out with a smell of Ji, whenever she appeared, it was always accompanied by countless barrages of "pregnant eyes".

The other half is this Ji Circle Bearer, who has had a long relationship with Ye Zhao's current partner Masaharu Fukuyama, and it is said that it has reached the level of talking about marriage. As for why Ye Zhao also knows a little about this kind of gossip, it has to be attributed to the reports of tabloids such as a certain fruit daily newspaper when their relationship turned on the red light later.

It's 1995, and Masaharu Fukuyama and Yuki Uchida are still very hot...... After secretly gossiping in his heart, Ye Zhao fell his gaze to the package on the table.

The sender's address bar is printed with the word SENSUI.
