Chapter 33: No more, no less than 100,000
The taxi driver interrupted the two: "Excuse me, where are you going?"
"Go to the Ariake chain hotel next to the Shibuya Line, thank you. "YUKI reported an address.
"Hotel, what are you going to do?" Ye Zhaohu looked at her suspiciously.
YUKI glanced at him, "The water pipe in the apartment I rented leaked a while ago, and the things inside were basically soaked, so I can only stay in a hotel temporarily until it is completely repaired...... Judging by your expression, you must have made up something strange in your brain. ”
"No, how could it be. Ye Zhao put on an upright face.
In about five minutes, the taxi pulled up next to a six-story building with a simple appearance. Ye Zhao was just about to take the wallet, and YUKI had already preemptively handed the driver a 5,000 yuan bill, until after confirming through the rearview mirror that she had collected the money and invoices she had recovered, the driver opened the car door: "Thank you for your patronage." ”
Ye Zhao got out of the car first, picked up YUKI, and walked towards the hotel. When she entered the lobby, the receptionist at the front desk saw her and greeted her with a smile, "Miss Isoya is back, who is this?" The receptionist only knew that YUKI was working in music, and did not know that she was an official singer. This is also that neither of them has become popular yet, and in another year, if Ye Zhao dares to carry her into the hotel, he will have to make entertainment headlines the next day.
YUKI SMILED, "THIS IS MY FRIEND, MY FOOT WAS TWISTED, AND HE SENT ME BACK." ”
Ye Zhao put YUKI on the bench in the lobby rest, "You wait for me here, I'll go out and buy something." ”
"What to buy?"
"Of course it's 'that'. Ye Zhao showed a "you know" expression and walked out of the hotel. AS SOON AS YUKI LOOKED UP, SHE SAW THE FEMALE RECEPTIONIST'S SMILE OF "I UNDERSTAND, I UNDERSTAND", AND COVERED HER FACE WEAKLY.
Ten minutes later, Ye Zhao went and returned, carrying a small white plastic bag in his hand.
"Take it. YE ZHAO HANDED YUKI THE PLASTIC BAG, PICKED HER UP AND WALKED INTO THE ELEVATOR. YUKI's foot is injured, and his hand is still very flexible, and as soon as the plastic bag arrives, I can't wait to open it to see which one it is. Then, she saw ...... Medicated liquor and painkillers.
"This is the 'one' you are going to buy?!" YUKI's voice automatically raised an octave, "Just go buy a medicinal wine and painkiller patches, can you use that kind of misleading dumb riddle!"
"It's a misunderstanding, what are you misunderstanding? You're twisting so badly, if you don't handle it properly, do you want to walk. Ye Zhao pretended to be stupid and said, "Besides, only people who are not pure in their hearts will think about impure places." Why, did you just make up something weird?"
“…… ARE YOU TAKING REVENGE ON ME?" YUKI COVERED HER FACE.
Ye Zhao didn't answer, "By the way, what floor do you live on?"
“…… Third floor. YUKI SAID WEAKLY.
Stepping out of the elevator, a narrow corridor appeared in front of him, and under the command of YUKI, Ye Zhao quickly found the target - the penultimate room on the right side of the corridor, with a golden number plate hanging on the door, a huge, tarnished 312.
Entering the door is a short hallway, on the left hand side is a row of faded hooks, on the right hand side is the bathroom, and going inside, about seven or eight square meters of space, there are two narrow single beds side by side, one with a light pink sheet, and the other with an open suitcase on top of it, and a white shirt spread out on it.
Ye Zhao put YUKI on the bed, opened the package of the medicinal wine, and sat on the edge of the bed while reading the instructions. YUKI NUDGED HIM SLIGHTLY, "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?"
"I'm going to give you the medicine. Ye Zhao didn't raise his head.
"No, I'm grateful if you sent me back, I don't need to do it to this extent. ”
Ye Zhao thought about it, his relationship with her was indeed not familiar to this extent, so he was not reluctant, handed her the medicinal wine and painkiller patch, and advised: "The medicinal wine and painkiller patch are changed every twelve hours, rub it with medicinal wine first, and then paste the painkiller patch." ”
YUKI NODDED, "I REMEMBER, THANK YOU." Also, the money for medicine ......"
"Even if you forget the money for medicine, it doesn't cost much in total. Seeing YUKI's insistent expression, Ye Zhao said again, "Otherwise, do you have a CD of your band here?" Speaking of this, he smiled, "Anyway, your band is going to be popular soon, and it will definitely be worth a lot of money to sell it when the time comes." ”
Ye Zhao's determined expression infected YUKI, she pointed to a small cardboard box placed on the TV stand, "There is a single sent by the company in there, you take one over, and the signature pen is in the pen holder next to it." He sighed softly, "I don't know why you have such confidence in me, but when you say that, it feels as if there is real hope right in front of me." ”
YE ZHAO HANDED HER THE CD AND THE PEN, YUKI TOOK IT, AND LONG FEIFENG DANCED AND SIGNED HIS NAME ON IT, "BY THE WAY, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?"
"My name is Ye Zhao. ”
"Ye Zhao?"
Ye Zhao took out the signature pen from her hand, took the notepad she used to write the lyrics from the bedside table, turned to a blank page, wrote his name and gave it to her, "These are the two words." ”
"Oh. YUKI NODDED, ADDED THE WORDS "TO YE ZHAO" TO THE SINGLE, WRITING AND WRITING, AND THEN REMEMBERED THAT WHEN I FIRST SAW HIM, HE WAS CARRYING A GUITAR, HE SHOULD BE A MUSICIAN, AND THEN THOUGHT OF THE SINGER NAMED YE ZHAO WHO HAS BEEN ON THE ORICON CHART RECENTLY...... It can't be such a coincidence, right?
HANDING THE SIGNED CD TO YE ZHAO, YUKI COULDN'T HELP BUT ASK: "ARE YOU ...... WITH YE ZHAO WHO SANG "SUMMER COLOR"?"
Ye Zhao put away the CD, stood up, pointed to the notepad he signed, and joked: "This is the first name I signed after I posted the single, keep it well, and I can brag to others in the future that my 'first time' was taken away by you." ”
“…… FUCK OFF!" YUKI'S EMBARRASSED VOICE CAME FROM BEHIND HIM.
On September 6, Ye Zhao's new single "Rainbow" officially hit the shelves nationwide. As Ye Zhao's first mainstream debut, newspapers and media have paid great attention to it: the results of this single are related to whether Ye Zhao is a dazzling diamond or just a fleeting meteor. This kind of trial is also a part that all singers who turn from underground to above must go through.
Speaking of which, the release date chosen by BEING is not very good, before the band T-BOLAN, which also belongs to BEING, released a new single "Maria" on September 4, and then the idol group SMAP under Janis released a new single "Come on!" on September 8. Needless to say, SMAP, the serious idol group of 800, T-BOLAN, is also one of the most capable bands of BEING at this stage, sandwiched between these two popular groups, needless to say, how uncomfortable it is.
After the new single entered the promotion period, many TV programs and magazines sent invitations, hoping to win Ye Zhao's first public appearance, in addition to TV Asahi, RB TV, TBS, Fuji TV, TV Tokyo, the five major private stations, there are also a considerable number of invitations from Kansai TV and other local TV stations, and the program time and content are also varied.
In the 90s, RB's TV station made a large-scale cut to the music group, although it indirectly promoted the sales of records (the opportunity for the audience to listen to their favorite songs through TV was greatly reduced), but the singer's singing channels were correspondingly narrower, so that among the program invitations Ye Zhao received, more than eight CDs were variety shows that had nothing to do with music, and because he didn't have enough coffee spots for his debut, even variety shows, most of them were not very good in terms of content.
Nagato Daiyuki truthfully conveyed these invitations to Ye Zhao, although it seemed that the choice was in Ye Zhao's hands, but Nagato Daiyuki still expressed his opinion euphemistically: "I don't recommend you to participate in those programs that are not in the stream, excessive exposure will consume the mystery you have created in the hearts of the public, which is not only against our business philosophy, but also not good for you." ”
Ye Zhao agreed with Nagato Daiyuki's statement, although the reason why he didn't go to the show was not because Nagato Daiyuki kept his so-called forced style, he just felt that instead of appearing in five late-night or local shows, it was better to show his face in prime time for five minutes. Thinking of this, he blurted out, "If it was an invitation from MUSIC STATION, I would definitely go there." ”
"It depends on the performance of your new single, and if you can make it to the top 10 of the weekly singles chart, MUSIC STATION will consider inviting you. ”
"Top ten?" Ye Zhao chuckled, "Unless I win the weekly championship, I won't participate in MUSIC STATION." The somewhat arrogant tone made Nagato Daiyuki stunned at first, and then smiled: "So ambitious? Then I'll wait and see." ”
Having said that, the weekly champion in the first week has nothing to do with Ye Zhao, because SMAP sold more than 100,000 copies on the first day alone, and the first batch of Ye Zhao's new single shipments was only 100,000 copies, even if all the first week was sold out, it was impossible to snatch the position of weekly champion from SMAP. Ye Zhao didn't feel frustrated at all, his eyes were on the second week after - on the weekly chart that week, Ye Zhao's new single ranked third on the weekly chart with no more than 100,000 copies, ranking behind SMAP and T-BOLAN.
