Chapter 524: Jenny-san's New Friend
At 5:50 a.m., Ye Zhao appeared at Genesys' recording studio in Shibuya.
At the same time as the record company was being built, Janis, who looked stingy on the outside, had to sew and repair a performance costume that had been heirloom for 30 years, but he bought a recording studio with a lot of money, and refurbished the interior with top-of-the-line equipment.
In fact, it was not necessary to achieve this level at the beginning of the first place.
However, the reason why there is such a big fanfare is probably hidden in the determination of the old man Kitagawa. Deliberately buying a recording studio for his own is also to announce his determination to succeed externally and even internally.
When Ye Zhao arrived, waiting there were the sound engineer from Janiss's side, the two boys, and the agents and assistants who followed them.
Today is the day of the first recording of the debut single, in order to take care of the itinerary of both parties, the final agreed time to enter the studio is six o'clock in the morning, Ye Zhao, who served as the producer, stepped on the point, as for the two teenagers, out of politeness, they will not let him wait when they work for the first time, so they will definitely come early.
Tsuyoshi Domoto and Koichi Domoto, who have been working in the world of adults since childhood, are definitely not picky in terms of etiquette.
"Good morning, Ye Chao Sang (Nissan). After entering the door, Koichi Domoto and Tsuyoshi Domoto bowed to him together.
"Good morning...... It doesn't seem to have any spirit, Gangjun, Guangyijun. Ye Zhao said. As far as the complexion is concerned, the faces of these two teenagers are really full of "sleep deprivation".
"I'm so sorry. ”
"No, I don't blame you," Ye Zhao explained, "I just think that you two are really hard." ”
Although the eighteen-year-old is still protected by the working hours limit for minors, it is only in front of the camera. Where you can't see it outside the camera, you still have to work overtime when you should work overtime, and you have to stay up late when you should stay up.
If you really want to talk about it, this so-called working time limit for minors has a very heavy smell of covering up their ears and stealing the bell.
Although it can't be helped. It's better to become famous as soon as possible, especially for idols. Therefore, from the moment you accept the job, you also acquiesce to the rules.
Before officially starting the recording, Ye Zhao first explained the song to the two teenagers and how to assign the part that the two of them were responsible for in this song.
“…… How???" After finishing speaking, Ye Zhao confirmed with them.
"Yes, Nissan. ”
"Yes, Ye Zhaosang. ”
Ye Zhao smiled, "That, I actually wanted to say it a little bit just now, Guang Yijun, if you don't mind, you can call me 'Nissan' like Gangjun." ”
"Eh, is that okay?" Koichi Domoto confirmed to him.
"Although I may joke around in normal times," Ye Zhao said, "but as long as I enter the studio, everything I say is serious." And, to be honest, it's kind of weird to be called by different names by the two of you. ”
Of course, not only does he not joke in the studio, but once he enters the state of work, he also talks to the two teenagers with a smile, and Ye Zhao, who is affectionately in front of "Nissan", immediately turns into a producer with a serious attitude, and when he encounters dissatisfaction, he will directly blame them.
Tsuyoshi Domoto and Koichi Domoto, who collaborated with him in music for the first time, were accustomed to his previous state of harmony in which everything was easy to discuss, and suddenly saw a completely different him, and at first, they were even a little startled, and, deep down, the two of them thought in unison: "Nissan in the working state is really terrible."
It's terrible, but as long as he successfully completes the progress according to his requirements, takes off the headphones, and walks out of the recording studio, the two teenagers waiting outside are still the smiling and friendly Nissan again.
Not only was his attitude kind, but when it was almost noon, in front of the two of their agents, Ye Zhao asked, "Is it okay to wait for the next trip?" If the time is right, let's go have a meal together." ”
Although Tsuyoshi Domoto and Koichi Domoto have entered the entertainment industry earlier, in the music industry, they have not yet made their official CD debut, and their qualifications are slightly later than him.
In addition, Ye Zhao's identity is the producer of the two of them, and he is older than both of them, so there is no problem in taking the initiative to invite guests to dinner, which can only be said by seniors.
Having said that, the reason why he took the initiative to let Koichi Domoto call him "Nissan" is probably only because he is only qualified to be a "Nissan" in front of the two eighteen-year-old boys of......
"Yes, then please, Nissan. ”
The two teenagers who received the invitation, after confirming the itinerary with the agent, both agreed.
At noon, the three of them, counting their respective agents, went to have a light meal together.
While eating, the agent of the two people replaced the wine with tea and said: "Our KinKi still has a lot of immature places, and I ask Ye Zhaosang to take care of it." ”
Although it is just a light meal, for the agent who has to worry about everything, Ye Zhao is not the "Nissan" in the eyes of the two boys, but the big man in the music industry today.
If you want to produce a top-level idol, you must have top-level resources and connections behind you to support it, so building a good relationship with a famous producer like him is one thing you must do as an agent.
"No, I think the two of them are good. Ye Zhao replied, "It's quite decent." Thinking of something, he asked casually, "Gangjun and Guangyijun's schedule is so intense, there shouldn't be any slack in guitar learning, right?"
Domoto just sat upright, "Yes...... I don't have a lot of time to practice, but I'm working on it. ”
"How? Learn the guitar. ”
"To be honest, it was a bit of a hassle at first. Speaking of this, Domoto was a little embarrassed, "But as I started to study, I found a lot of fun in it." ”
Koichi Domoto nodded beside him, as if Domoto was his spokesman.
"The guitar is a very interesting instrument," Ye Zhao said, "although it seems easy to get started, it is not difficult to play a tune." However, if you want to touch its true interest, you have to pursue a higher realm. And, every time you reach a new realm, you will find new pleasures. ”
This time, the two teenagers nodded together.
"Anyway, please keep it up. Ye Zhao said with a smile, "When you can almost take charge on your own, let's find an opportunity to play the guitar and sing together." Of course, this is not social rhetoric. ”
Hearing him say this, Tsuyoshi Domoto and Koichi Domoto both looked quite happy.
As an idol, he is sometimes prejudiced by orthodox musicians, especially Dennis's reputation in the record industry is a bit touching. Therefore, to be able to receive such words of recognition from him is also an encouragement for the two teenagers.
"Yes, we will try!"
Anyway, the relationship between Ye Zhao and Jennis is close enough. Especially after being entrusted by Kitagawa himself to make the highly-anticipated group of Boys, in the outside world, it is even more stamped pro-Genesys.
Kitagawa, who has been up and down in the entertainment industry for decades, has many old friends, such as Kyohei Tsumi, Takashi Matsumoto, and other super old giants, all of whom have cooperated with Genesys.
And Ye Zhao, a newcomer, was also nicknamed "Jenisan's new friend" by some media because of his proximity to Jennissan.
New friends or old friends, this kind of thing doesn't matter to Ye Zhao, anyway, it's not a bad thing. There are royalties to take, and there are favors to earn, why not.
After eating, both sides had their own schedules in the afternoon, and this time the recording ended here. After roughly exchanging itineraries and estimating the time of the next recording, the two sides said goodbye at the restaurant.
As "Jenisan's new friend", Ye Zhao's work in the afternoon is still related to Jennis's people. From early morning to evening, today can be regarded as "Cooperation Day with Janiss".
In the afternoon, the car carried him to Fuji TV.
"It's been a long time, Ye Jun. When he entered the backstage, it was still Iijima Sanchi who greeted him first.
"It's been a long time, Iijima-san. ”
"You've been working on KinKi's debut single lately, right?"
"Yes...... The blessing of Tohanjima-san. Ye Zhao replied. But this is also half a big truth, if it weren't for the fact that I met Iijima Sanchi and was invited to sing by her, it wouldn't have developed like this.
Hearing his words, Iijima Sanchi smiled reservedly, "Jenny-san has high hopes for Gang-kun and Koikchi-kun, but if it is handed over to Ye-kun, I think it will definitely achieve good results." ”
Talking with this eldest sister will turn into a commercial blow if you are not careful, Ye Zhao hurriedly stopped and asked, "Are you still recording SMAP?"
"Yes. Iijima Sanchi looked at his watch, "It's probably going to be a while, so although I'm sorry, please wait a while." ”
"It's okay. Ye Zhao replied.
The show he was going to record was "SMAP ×SMAP".
Speaking of SMAP× the most impressive part of the SMAP is the four color chefs divided into two groups (although it is still only divided into red and blue teams), a waiter who is in charge of ordering and chatting, and the so-called bistro SMAP without a menu cooking session.
However, this is only part of the first issue, and the short dramas starring the members of SMAP in strange appearances and funny plots, or various mini-games, are also the essence of it.
Of course, there is also the ENDING SONG that is sung at the end, which is performed by SMAP itself and with the guests.
In short, as a variety show with high ratings, actors promote movies, and singers promote new songs, all hoping to be on this show.
"Then again, there's something a little bit of curiosity about this show. Iijima Sanzhi didn't leave, Ye Zhao simply chatted with her.
"ARE ALL THE DISHES IN THE BISTRO SECTION MADE BY THE SMAP PEOPLE?"
"Ye Jun has watched this show?" Iijima Sanchi looked very happy.
Ye Zhao nodded, "Yes, it's a very interesting show, and the short drama is also great." ”
"Thank you so much. Iijima Sanchi said, and then answered his question, "It's really up to a few of them to do it themselves." Of course, there is a professional chef on hand to tutor you. At the beginning, when everyone's cooking skills were still a little bad, occasionally because the things made were too bad, in order to be photogenic, they had to change to the chef who made them in advance. ”
"However, after the show has been going on for a while, everyone's cooking skills have grown a lot, and although there are still chefs to guide them, the situation of stealing beams and changing pillars will not happen again. ”
"I see. But then again, everyone at SMAP is really amazing," Ye Zhao admired very much, "Even the cooking show can be done to such an extent." ”
"It sounds like a boast," Iijima said with a smile, "but our SMAP is absolutely impeccable in terms of roots. ”
Regarding this, Ye Zhao believes.
"BY THE WAY," HE HALF-JOKINGLY SAID, "THE BISTRO SESSION SHOULDN'T ALWAYS BE OPEN TO FEMALE GUESTS, AND OCCASIONALLY OPEN TO MEN, RIGHT?"
ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHO THE FIRST MALE GUEST OF BISTRO WAS, UNTIL NOW, BISTRO HAS NOT HAD A MALE GUEST APPEAR, BUT A BEAUTIFUL GUEST OF A WATER, AFTER EATING AND DRINKING ENOUGH, SHE GAVE HER OWN PRIZE - KISS TO THE RED CHEF AND THE BLUE CHEF WHO WORKED HARD IN THE AUDIENCE.
This show has been going on for so many years, how many beautiful guests have the four chefs been kissed by......
This cook is still worth it......
"DOES YE JUN WANT TO PLAY IN THE BISTRO LINK?"
"I feel like it's fun to order food without a menu, and I'm curious about the cooking skills of SMAP people. ”
"In the BISTRO link, the female guest has to kiss the winning side. ”
"You don't have to use a kiss as a prize," Ye Zhao suggested, "When the male guests appear, you might as well consider preparing a gift for the winner?" ”
Iijima Sanchi nodded, "Regarding these, in fact, they are also within the scope of consideration, and there may be adjustments in this regard in the future." …… However, if you're curious about SMAP guys' cooking, why don't you wait until the recording is over and try it?"
"Is that okay?"
"No problem. The amount of food made by BISTRO in each issue is only made that cannot be consumed by the program. So, when the video is over, the staff will eat it separately. Don't look at me like this, I get involved occasionally. ”
Iijima Sanchi did what he said, and simply invited: "Otherwise, let's go to the studio and have a look now, right?"
"Forget it," Ye Zhaowan refused, "It's not good to rush over and disturb the progress of photography." ”
About the guests of Bistro,I looked at the schedule.,It seems that it wasn't until the second half of 97 that there were no male guests.,But I'm not sure if that's the case.,If there's a mistake.,I hope to point it out as soon as possible so that it can be modified (the VIP chapter doesn't seem to be changed after time) Thank you.
