Chapter 323: Put on the vest and open the trumpet

"Anyway, let's play it first. Yamazaki suggested.

In the recording studio, all kinds of equipment and musical instruments are naturally ready-made, the staff sent the guitar over, Ye Zhao adjusted the strings, and played and sang directly in the recording room.

While he was singing, Yoichi Kuramochi and Masanoshi Yamazaki sat together looking at the sheet music that marked the timing of the harmonica's addition, and thought seriously about his performance.

After the first pass, Okuda Minsheng nodded, first praised "It's a really good song", and was a little curious, "How did you come up with the idea of making such a song?"

Ye Zhao replied: "Actually, I suddenly thought of it when I was about to get drunk that day and the whole person was fluttering." ”

"What you think of when you're drunk? Okuda Minsheng smiled, "However, if you taste it a little, it is not surprising that this kind of light and fluttering feeling appears when you are drunk." ”

Cangzhi Yang asked, "Ye Jun, can you do it again?" ”

"Absolutely. Ye Zhao said, plucked the strings again, and sang the song "Born in Heaven".

After the second performance, Kuramochi Yoichi showed a knowing expression, took out the piano from the bag he carried, first blew a few notes as if warming up, and asked again: "Ye Jun, please play it again now." ”

Seeing his posture of entering the state, Ye Zhao naturally only agreed, so he plucked the strings again. The sound of Yoichi Kuramochi's harmonica joined in at the right time and continued with his performance.

In the end, it is a musician with a deep foundation in folk songs and many years of experience in music production, and in the thinking and listening just now, Yoichi Kuramochi has already grasped the general direction.

Of course, because it's the first time, there are still many deficiencies compared to the original, but to be able to do it to this extent in such a short period of time, there are only two words to describe it.

After the performance was over, Kuramochi frowned, and said first, "No." ”

After entering the state of music, he is no longer the uncle who looks a little light and out of tune, but has become extremely serious. Combined with his stubble face, it even gives people a sense of unapproachability.

Ye Zhao pondered and replied, "According to my conception, this part should be a little dreamier. ”

Together with Okuda Minsheng and Yamazaki Masaki, the four of them had a discussion about the song again. Yoichi Kuramochi and Masaki Masaki, two harmonica masters, also exchanged questions about the arrangement.

Later, he proposed, "Do it again." ”

Ye Zhao nodded, picked up the guitar, and came again. This time compared to the last time, the cooperation between the two is a little more tacit, and the harmonica sound played by Yoichi Kuramochi is finally close to the feeling of Hiroto Komoto.

In the process of such testing and revision, the four of them worked around the song and finalized the arrangement of the song together in this afternoon.

After the final ensemble, the performance was stopped, and Ye Zhao took the lead in applauding, "It's perfect." This level is already the best, and I don't want to change it at all, thank you very much. ”

"Ye Jun, do you have any plans to release this song?" asked Kuramochi Yoichi.

"Of course it's going to be released. However," Ye Zhao thought for a while, "There is still some discussion on how to release it, as far as this song is concerned, it is actually not convenient to release it in my name." ”

So far, he has released singles with a very clear purpose, that is, "best-selling". "Summer Color" is to open up the situation, "Rainbow" is to consolidate popularity, not to mention "Inter, Again", which almost gambled on his career.

Not to mention "Kiseki" and "Osaka Lover", which are still on sale, these two singles, before the decision to start production, were aimed at two goals, "best-seller" and "national".

For Ye Zhao, because his music comes from different musicians, he doesn't have a particularly strong personal style in terms of melody, but he has been writing songs in the way of writing best-selling songs, which is something that is generally recognized not only by the public, but also by music critics.

So, if you want to set a style for him, then his name stands for "popular and best-selling".

With this in mind, "Born in Heaven", which does not have best-selling elements, is unlikely to materialize this song as his main single.

Now, the name "Ye Zhao" is equivalent to a bestseller, and he can only release works that are applauded and acclaimed, but not well-received.

This can be regarded as an alternative "shackle" brought to him by his popularity and fame.

Regarding this, the other three, as professional musicians, naturally know well. If it can't be released as a single title, it will be a C/song or included in the album.

Of course, the C/song has to be passed, and the high-quality songs are included in the single as a "giveaway", not to mention this kind of waste of resources, and it is also a kind of burial for the song itself.

In fact, Ye Zhao only did such a luxury when he released the fateful underground single "Summer Color", and the subsequent single C/, which almost included songs that were interesting but not very famous.

"I have a proposal for how this song should be released. Okuda said, "Let's form a limited-event band together and release this song under the name of the band." ”

"Limited band?"

Hearing his proposal, Ye Zhao, Kuramochi Yoichi and Yamazaki Shoyoshi all showed thoughtful expressions.

"When Unicorn was in the adjustment period, I just wanted to try a little different music, but after talking to Jun Sky Alker(S) Terada-kun, I thought it was speculative and the other party was interested in it, so I formed a limited group with him after that. ”

"Well, Terada. Kuramochi Yoichi clearly reported the name of the group at that time, which was spelled with the names of Okuda Minsheng and Terada Huren.

"Yes, 'Terada'. Okuda Minsheng echoed, and continued, "I thought about it when I was in karaoke before, and when the voices of the four of us came together, it was unexpectedly unique, and I wanted to mention the formation of a team at that time." ”

Speaking of Okuda Minsheng, it is also a bit of a "team madman", almost from the time he was still in the band, and then to fly solo, every once in a while on a whim with a few musicians to form a team to sing.

Therefore, it is really not surprising that this proposal came out of his mouth.

Forming a limited band? Ye Zhao was also a little excited about this proposal.

Needless to say, the two worked together for a while on Puffy's debut, and although Yoichi Kuramochi and Masaki Masaki got along for a short time, they were unexpectedly like-minded.

Ye Zhao, who has been active as a solo since his debut, also has some longing for this kind of "collective activity". Singing with like-minded people isn't bad to think about, or rather, it's kind of funny.

In addition, there is another important reason that if you put on a new vest for yourself in the form of a team, you can publish this song "Born in Heaven" without any burden.

After all, the form of a limited band itself carries a bit of self-liberating meaning. Therefore, even if you sing a song that does not sell well, it will not affect your momentum.

"I agree with that. The first person to answer was Yoichi Kuramochi, "To be honest, I really like this song and want to be involved in the production of this song." Of course, if you can form a team, of course, it's great, even if you can't, I want to ask Ye Jun to play the harmonica. ”

"However, Kuramochi-san is already a member of the band himself, right? If you form a team, will Sakurai-san be able to do it?" Although he hadn't said yes or no, while asking this question, it meant that Ye Zhao agreed to Okuda Minsheng's proposal in his heart.

"It's okay, Sakurai-kun, I'll apologize and explain. Kuramochi Yoichi said, not forgetting to make fun of Okuda's livelihood, "If Sakurai-kun doesn't forgive, it's Okuta-kun's fault, and Okuda-kun is a bad example." ”

Naturally, it is said that Okuda Minsheng went to engage in the limited group when the band was adjusted. Although, the actual situation is that their band chose to disband immediately after the adjustment.

"That's right. It's all my fault. Okuda Minsheng didn't care at all, and accepted his "accusation" with a smile.

Yamazaki Masaki was a little hesitant, but this hesitation was not because he didn't want to get involved in this cooperation, but because the record company he belonged to was Universal.

Okuda Minsheng and Kuramochi Yokachi are colleagues of the same record company in the same office, although Ye Zhao has a record appointment with being, but because he has always cooperated with Sony, plus he has set a precedent when he collaborated with Masaharu Fukuyama on a single before, so he doesn't pay so much attention to the fact that the portal is different.

But Yamazaki Masaki's side is different, so although he is excited, he still points out the problem, "On the record company side, it will probably be difficult to coordinate." ”

If this limited band is really established, it will be a collaboration between singers from three different record labels: being, Sony, and Universal. It's easier to coordinate if you're working with two different labels, but if you're working with three different labels, you'll have to face at least twice as many problems.

If nothing else, just the issue of copyright handling of records is troublesome enough.

"It's true that this will be a bit of a problem. When Yamazaki Shoyoshi mentioned it, all three of them remembered this.

However, whether it is Ye Zhao or Okuda Minsheng, they are all absolute action people, and when they want to do something, whether it works or not, they have to give it a try first.

Therefore, at this time, Okuda Minsheng also said directly: "It's better to ask the related people of the record company first, in short, talk about it once first." ”

Anyway, it's just a record, and after it's released, it will be yours, and there won't be too much of a copyright and contract involved.

"In that case, I'll give it a try. Yamazaki agreed.

First decided on the arrangement of the songs, and then mentioned the matter of the band, and by the time the discussion was over, it was already five o'clock in the evening. Although it wasn't very late, Yukie Nakama, who was waiting next to him, sat here for almost three hours.

Of course, it's not okay to sit there dryly. The recording studio is always a place where people are waiting to pass the time, fresh magazines and game consoles, which are even more essential.

There is a communication between the small reception room and the control room, and Yukie Nakama, who is sitting there, can just see Ye Zhao who is discussing music with the three of Okuda Minsheng there.

This is the first time she has been brought to the recording studio, and of course, it is also the first time she has seen Ye Zhao working in the recording studio, so this waiting time still has some different fun for her.

It's just that Ye Zhao, who is discussing music, is completely different from his usual gentle and good-tempered appearance, although it is very fresh, but in addition to feeling fresh, his serious expression also makes her feel a little strange.

However, no matter how interesting it was, the waiting time was always boring, so, after quietly watching him for a while, she gave up following his every move and focused instead on the magazines in the reception room.

Then she fell asleep while watching like this...... It's weird.

When Ye Zhao finished the discussion and returned to the reception room, he saw Yukie Nakama who was looking at "Weekly Wenchun" with a serious face, and on the coffee table in front of her, there was still a stack of magazines.

Well...... Something seems wrong with this picture?

Thinking of this, Ye Zhao coughed lightly, attracting her attention.

Yukie Nakama looked up from the sea of gossip, breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a smile, "Is it over?"

"Yes, it's over. Ye Zhao approached her, glanced at the "Weekly Wenchun" with her hand, and said casually: "Are you reading the magazine?" ”

Yukie Nakama said "um", "I've finished reading the bunko magazine here," and pointed to the stack of magazines on the coffee table, "So, I'm going to start reading this one." ”

"Sorry to keep you waiting so long. Ye Zhao was a little reluctant, he knew that it would take so long, so he didn't bring her over.

"It doesn't matter. Yukie Nakama said quite empathetically, "Also, I have met you who are completely different from usual." ”

"So, is this difference the good side or the bad side?"

"I think it's a bit of both. After Nakama Yukie finished speaking, he thought about it and added, "However, there are still more good sides." 2k reading network
