Chapter 139: Rich is really capricious
After saying goodbye to Ye Zhao at that time, Watanabe Lu returned to his hometown in Kyoto from Tokyo, rented the first floor of the Sanjo-dori Morinaga building in Nakakyo Ward, and opened a club called Denguang Shihuo.
The name of the club is taken from the song of the same name by the Blue Heart Band "Electric Light Stone Fire", Watanabe Lu himself is a super fan of the Blue Heart Band, and it was because he heard the famous song "Linda, Linda" of the Blue Heart Band during the last summer vacation of high school, and he was deeply moved to decide to do music-related work.
For the MV of "Singer's Love Song", Ye Zhao said that he only needed to borrow a studio or club stage to simply shoot a live video for promotion, so he contacted Watanabe Lu, and after getting his consent, he used the club as the filming location for this MV.
Of course, if he came all the way from Tokyo just to borrow a club stage, not only would he be able to mobilize the public, but it would also be contrary to Ye Zhao's original idea of trying to save trouble and not tidy up. Actually, the most important purpose of my visit to Kansai was to visit the Osaka Festival Hall in Osaka for a field trip to the concert venue.
Inspecting the concert venue and filming the music video added up to make my trip to Kyoto and Osaka very much more fulfilling. Of course, for Ye Zhao, after these two reasons, there is another personal meaning, that is, the reunion with Watanabe Lu. In his heart, the weight of Watanabe Lu's friend is definitely quite important.
After getting out of the car, Ye Zhao handed over the paper bag that had been on his lap just now, "Brother Watanabe, this is a gift for you and Miss Naoko." ”
Rku Watanabe took the paper bag and opened a corner a little to see that it was a beautifully packaged Western-style confectionery box.
"I think Watanabe-san must have everything, so he didn't bring anything else, and just bought sweets from the cake shop near Tokyo Station. I remember that Watanabe-san and Naoko were both big fans of that store, right?"
Watanabe Lu frowned and smiled, "It's a shame that you still remember this." It's a great gift because you can only eat it in Tokyo. It's easy to get around now, but if I had to go to Tokyo for a snack, I wouldn't have been able to do it anyway. ”
The staff who came with Being was to go to Osaka with him to confirm the concert venue, and the real person in charge of the MV shooting was the Osaka team who had worked with Being many times, but they would not arrive until a while.
Before they arrived, Watanabe Riku took everyone on a tour.
The club, which has a capacity of about 200 people, has no seating, and looks a little empty during the day when there are no performances, with a handwritten sign at the entrance: "No jumping".
"Huh, can't you jump in the club? Isn't that a bit boring. ”
Riku Watanabe explained with a smile, "This is a request from the real estate agent. Because I am afraid that it will disturb the people. ”
"Miss Naoko also went to work today?" Ye Zhao stopped by the wall, looking at the posters of bands and singers plastered on it, these are Watanabe Lu's private collections.
"Well, in the evening, if you're not in a hurry to leave, you can meet her. Shortly after Watanabe returned to Kyoto, Naoko Asakura also submitted a request to be transferred to the Osaka branch. It just so happened that her request was easily approved because she had been transferred to the bureau within the publishing house, and she was not an essential backbone.
"It's about 40 minutes by train from Osaka to Kyoto, isn't it? Ye Zhao calculated in his heart. "By the way, when are the two of you going to get married?"
Riku Watanabe and Naoko Asakura were officially naturalized on June 28 of this year, Naoko Asakura's birthday, and although the wedding has not yet taken place, legally Naoko Asakura has now become Naoko Watanabe.
Riku Watanabe showed a happy smile, "It has been decided to be held on December 19th, the anniversary of my acquaintance with her. In addition to the relatives of both parties to hold a ceremony at the hotel, some friends in the underground music industry here have also agreed to hold a celebratory live for us in this club. Ye Jun, if you have time, come over and play?"
"Needless to say. On the day of the wedding and the celebration of live, I will spare time for the two of you anyway. Ye Zhao readily agreed, "Having said that, Brother Watanabe's life is really enjoyable at any time." ”
"Because there are few people who are as willful as I am. "Watanabe Rido.
"That's just as well. Ye Zhao nodded. As a real tyrant who owns an entire rental apartment and several plots of land in Kyoto, and the only son in the family, his rich family background gives him capricious capital. Rich, leisure, and supportive, no matter which of these three things is missing, it is difficult to live so casually.
"By the way, didn't you say you wanted to learn to play that bass last time?" asked Riku Watanabe, "There are so many top musicians around you now, and it's much easier than ordinary people to learn a musical instrument." ”
Ye Zhao stretched out his left hand, "This is proof that you have practiced carefully." As for the progress, the teacher who taught me the arrangement was a bassist by training, and according to him, I could almost fish in troubled waters during the performance. ”
Masao Akashi, the big guy's job is a bass player, and when he learned that Ye Zhao had recently asked the company's bass players for guidance from time to time, he directly carried him to the practice room, and tested his bass level in the name of it, and then gave the above evaluation.
With Ye Zhao having only been in contact with bass for just a few months, and he can only learn it when he has time, it is already very good to be able to get this evaluation. While bass is easy to get started, there are no fewer hurdles to overcome than any other instrument to truly play decently. It was also quite polite to be said by a professional bass player that "I can mix it up during the performance".
Then again, if you want to be an arranger, you must master four or five instruments.
About fifteen minutes later, in the club's lounge, Ryu Watanabe served the brewed coffee, and the accompanying staff received a call that the MV filming team was about to arrive.
"I'll go out and greet you. Hanging up the phone, the staff member surnamed Ueda owed himself and hurriedly went out.
"I'm a little sorry for the fruits of Watanabe's labor, but it's not good for us to just sit here and wait. Ye Zhao put down the cup.
"It's important to get down to business, let's get out first. Watanabe took the lead and stood up. 2k reading web
