Chapter Sixty-Nine: Twenty Years Old
After the meeting, the "adults" such as screenwriters, directors and producers left the conference room first, of course, Ye Zhao was not included in these "adults". After that, the actors said goodbye to each other and walked out.
Before leaving, Rie Tomosaka made a special agreement with Ye Zhao, "Ye Zhaosang, you must go to the set when you have time, isn't it all like that on TV, composers go to the set to find composition inspiration or something." I'm still waiting for Ye Zhaosang's signed CD. โ
"I'll go when I have time. But did you bring the CD or did I give it to you?"
Rie Tomosaka thought for a while, "It's a rare opportunity, why don't I bring one myself, Ye Zhaosang will send another copy, and sign it twice." โ
"You're so greedy, Miss Tomosaka. Ye Zhao complained.

Agreeing to Rie Tomosaka's visit to the class turned out to be a blank check, because he was really not free at all, and the soundtrack for film and television dramas was not as Rie Tomosaka imagined, and he could go to the set to show off for inspiration, but a somewhat boring job.
Because the time for filming and setting the file was too tight, Ye Zhao didn't have the spare time to wait for the end of filming to make a soundtrack for the finished film, so when the SP drama over there was starting, Ye Zhao had to figure out the artistic conception of the script first and prepare the roughly needed tunes.
Although it comes with a golden finger, Ye Zhao can't even have the soundtrack of a TV series more than 20 years ago, fortunately, the soundtrack can be regarded as a thing that can make up for the lack of talent by experience, at what time, in what situation, what kind of orchestration and melody are used, there are available routines, and it is still different from writing best-selling songs.
Of course, the premise is not to move out monsters like Mr. Xu Jingqing, Professor Ryuichi Sakamoto, to come out and raise the bar. After all, this is just an ordinary film and television drama soundtrack, not a masterpiece of the century that will compete for awards and leave a name in music history.
So Ye Zhao made a soundtrack for the first time in his life, and he quietly spent the process of recreating on the basis of those melodies while recalling the melodies available in his head. It's not easy to make something tangible, especially the special nature of the soundtrack itself, but he still works harder than ever.
Maybe he won't have the "talent" to write best-selling songs in his life, so he hopes to accumulate "experience" on these things that can be improved through hard work, and do more things that he can do.
However, although he is nominally responsible for the soundtrack, it does not mean that he needs to grasp the CD from the time the melody comes out to the end of the orchestration, and the more complex orchestration and orchestration still need to be assisted by others. In order to reduce the workload, after roughly determining the melody, Ye Zhao enlisted the help of Hiroto Furui, and slowly processed the melody that could only be called a prototype towards the finished product in his mind.
The biggest feeling of making a soundtrack is that I only hate that I know too little about my musical instruments, and if I am proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, then I will definitely save time, effort and worry.

March is destined to be a busy month, in addition to completing the soundtrack of "Kanedaichi Shonen Incident Book", there is also a collaboration single with Masaharu Fukuyama in full swing. In terms of song recording, Masaharu Fukuyama and Ye Zhao are both busy and don't have much time to actually get together, so they only go to the studio together for one day, and then go to the recording studio to report, record their own parts, and finally hand over the recorded audio track to the mixing machine room for synthesis.
When the Sakura front entered the Kyushu territory, BMG informed that the collaboration single between Ye Aki and Masaharu Fukuyama had finally completed the final step of mixing.
In the recording studio, Ye Zhao heard the complete master tape for the first time. Although Ye Zhao had been a little worried that the effect of the two songs would be reduced because he did not match Masaharu Fukuyama's voice before, after hearing the finished product, the original worry disappeared.
Since it was a cherry blossom single, AMUSE also had a lot of money in the shooting of the MV, so he directly organized a team and went to Fukuoka together, and completed the shooting in the sea of cherry blossoms in Maizuru Park.
In between shooting, Masaharu Fukuyama wandered around the park with his Pentax camera, shooting wherever he went, and his interest in photography was quite strong.
"Fukuyama-san really likes photography. The staff on the set said.
"Sometimes, I just want to leave my job and go to learn photography. Masaharu Fukuyama shook the camera in his hand. Everyone present didn't take this sentence seriously, Masaharu Fukuyama, who is in full swing in all three aspects of film and television songs, no one believes that he can really give up his current top popularity, just to satisfy his interest in photography.
Only Ye Zhao nodded affirmatively and said, "Don't talk about Fushan Sang, even I want to hide and learn photography." โ
"Ye Jun is also interested in photography?" Masaharu Fukuyama was quite impressed.
"It's not so much that I'm interested, maybe I just don't want to be hated. Ye Zhao joked, "Do you think, if the photography technique is very bad, and the good scenery is a mess, doesn't Fukuyama-san want to scold 'Apologize to those scenery, bastard!'? โ
Masaharu Fukuyama was overjoyed, "Ye Jun, you are really ......"
"Isn't it fun? This Fukuyama-san has said it many times. Ye Zhao replied in a relaxed tone. This period of cooperation has made the relationship between the two more harmonious, and ordinary complaints like this are already common.
After the filming was completed, it was sent along with the bouquet and a birthday cake. On the top of the cake, the chocolate sauce is written "Twenty years old, ใใใงใจใ (congratulations)!!".
"Ye Zhaosang, happy twentieth birthday!" the staff collectively congratulated.
Coming back from the confusion, Ye Zhao took the bouquet with a touched face, and kept saying "Thank you, thank you!"
Masaharu Fukuyama stepped forward with a bottle of champagne in his arms, and invited with a relaxed expression: "Ye Jun, when it comes to twenty-year-old adults, of course, this is the indispensable thing, how about it, do you want to have a drink?" โ
"Hey, hey, ......" is such a good atmosphere, even if you don't play treasure, Fukuyama-san.
The staff brought up the champagne glasses that had been prepared, poured the wine in turn, and everyone raised their glasses together and blessed again: "I wish Ye Zhaosang a happy twentieth birthday!"
"Thank you!" Ye Zhao took the cup and saluted before drinking the champagne in the cup.
It was Miss Saga, a costume artist, who cut the cake first, and put it on Ye Zhao's plate, not forgetting to ask, "Ye Zhaosang, entering the twentieth generation, do you have any prospects?"
"Well...... Ye Zhao also responded jokingly, "Anyway, let's have a drink first, you have to get drunk first at the age of twenty." After speaking, he stretched out his right ring finger, dipped a little cream and put it in his mouth, "It's delicious, thank you, Miss Saga." โ

On March 25, the day after returning from Kagoshima, Ha Zhao received a call from Sakai Spring.
Stretched out his arm from the quilt and groped at the head of the bed for a while, grabbed the mobile phone, intuitively pulled out the short antenna, did not look at the caller ID, and picked it up: "I'm Ye Zhao, who is it?"
"Ye Jun, you don't seem to have gotten up yet?" Sakai Spring's gentle voice came out of the earpiece.
Ye Zhao was excited and got up from the bed, "Sister Quanshui, I'm sorry, I went to the celebration party with the staff of Fushan Sang last night, so I overslept a little." Wait a minute, I'll go meet you right away!"
"Don't worry," Sakai Izumi chuckled softly, "I called to ask you, don't you mind changing the original itinerary a little." โ
"Huh?" Ye Zhao paused as he put on his clothes.
According to the agreement with Sakai Izumi after returning to Tokyo yesterday afternoon, Sakai Izumi will invite him to lunch at Nishiazabu at noon this day as compensation for sending the wrong gift at that time. Of course, in the company of agents and assistants on both sides.
"That's right, I went to the office today and found that I received two tickets for the premiere of the film, and the time was at three o'clock in the afternoon. I just don't have anyone to make an appointment here, if Ye Jun doesn't mind, let's go watch it together in the afternoon? Of course, if it's not convenient for you, we'll go ahead with the original plan. โ
"Okay, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway. Ye Zhao said, "By the way, Sister Quanshui, what kind of movie is it?"
โฆโฆ
The name of this movie is "Love Letter", and yes, it is the "Love Letter" you think.
If the intersection of Iwai Shunji and Sakai Izumi is at the beginning of ZARD's debut, Iwai Shunji had filmed the MV for the first three singles for ZARD, at that time Iwai Shunji was still a fledgling novice director, and ZARD was just a budding rookie band.
In less than four years, ZARD has become a top first-line big name, and Shunji Iwai has also become a high-profile new talent in the film industry.

At 2:20 p.m., after meeting downstairs at the SENSUI office, Ha Aki and Yuki Uemura got into one car, and Izumi Sakai and her assistant Miss Imai got into another car, and they drove for about 20 minutes, and the two cars arrived at the Kadokawa Cinema in Shinjuku 3-chome.
As early as after receiving a call from Sakai Spring, Ye Zhao instructed Yuki Uemura to order a flower basket. Yuki Uemura and Miss Imai each sent the prepared flower baskets, and Ye Zhao and Sakai Izumizu took a special elevator and entered the venue through a special passage.
About 200 people attended the premiere, and in addition to the 50 ordinary audience members who booked tickets by phone, the rest were from film companies, TV station affiliates, journalists, insiders who received tickets, and a small number of members of censorship organizations from the private sector.
Ye Zhao and Sakai Izumi did not have the habit of recognizing faces on such occasions, and after entering the cinema, they silently found their own place and sat down.
