Chapter Seventy-Nine: Coming and Going
"Ye Zhaosang, Miss Kawamoto started singing, and the whole person is different. Under the stage, Yuki Uemura, who was sitting next to him, whispered.
Ye Zhao looked at the stage and replied, "Of course, otherwise how could I be so excited." โ
"That's true, but can Miss Kawamoto really become popular?" Yuki Uemura hesitated a little, "She doesn't seem to be very different from the female singers I know who are popular now." โ
"Don't worry, I dare say, she's 12 percent red. Ye Zhao was full of confidence.
As the end of the song is "Love ใฎ Talent", the end of this song, the moment the music quiets down, Kazuyo Kawamoto was a little distracted, and then as if he had just come out of Fang Cai's performance, he looked left and right, smiled, and asked, "It's over?"
As this sentence fell, the staff in the audience applauded in unison and said, "Thank you for your hard work." The members of the accompaniment band also put down their instruments and high-fived Kazuyo Kawamoto: "It's hard work, happy cooperation." โ
Ye Zhao got up from his seat and slowly walked to the front of the stage, "Quite good, even better than I imagined." The accompaniment is also very exciting, and it is not lost to a performance of the singer's concert. โ

After the video, Ye Zhao chartered a nearby tavern, and more than a dozen people, including the photography team, the accompanying band, and the staff who assisted in the shooting, went there and drank a few glasses of celebration wine. Generous portions of grilled chicken skewers, grilled pork belly with just the right amount of charring, juicy grilled eggplant...... The chef in front of the cooking table calmly flipped through the bamboo skewers, and the clerk with a flat head quickly delivered the same things that had been baked.
"Thank you very much for today, and I hope to work together again if I have the opportunity in the future. Ye Zhao raised the beer glass in his hand.
"Cheersโโ!!" everyone raised their glasses in unison.
The celebration party was not a carnival party, so everyone present did not drink too much, and after eating and drinking enough, they quickly dispersed.

NTV counted the ratings of the SP of "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book" on Monday, 16.7%, as an SP drama to test the waters, it is considered above the passing line, whether it is the producer, the actors or the behind-the-scenes personnel involved in the production, they are relatively satisfied. The production team even sent a fax to thank Ye Zhao for the soundtrack. Although the biggest credit for the SP drama to achieve this result is still in the original work and screenwriter, as well as the appeal of the actors themselves, the set of suspenseful soundtracks he provided is also quite good to set off the plot, which can be regarded as fulfilling the mission.
The matter of SP drama has come to an end for the time being, and there are just eight days left before the release date of the new single on the 18th, and with the support of AMUSE's strong resources, the density of this single can be imagined.
On April 10, accompanied by Yuki Uemura, Ye Zhao went to the Fuji TV building in Kawada Town, Shinjuku Ward, to discuss the script of "HEY!HEY!HEY!" (hereinafter referred to as HEY3).
The HEY3 episode that Ye Zhao and Masaharu Fukuyama are going to appear in is scheduled to be broadcast on April 24, and the official recording date is set for April 19, but in order to confirm the script, Ye Zhao had to negotiate with the HEY3 staff about a week before the recording.
Compared with MS, HEY3 has two differences from the former, the first is the difference in the playback method, MS is a live broadcast that has been consistent for many years, and HEY3 is a recorded broadcast, and the recording has been completed a few days before the official broadcast.
The second point is the difference in the atmosphere of the show, the atmosphere of MS is more formal, and the back and forth in the brief interview before the official opening is also those car ramblings, and the overall atmosphere of HEY3 is more variety, without the constraints of orthodox music, and the funny artist group DOWNTOWN as the host is also fully exerting their powerful funny skills, so that this show has always maintained quite high ratings since it came out in 1994.
RB's variety show attaches great importance to the script, every dialogue between the host and the guests in the show, every question and answer, and even the improvisation or the part that seems to have caused a broadcast accident may be set in advance in the script.
Including the traditional sound of MS, although there is not such a detailed script, but in the first few days of participating in the show, the singer who is a guest will also receive a flow chart, which includes the program process of the guests who appear in the show, the order of appearance, the specific performance time period, etc., so that the guests who go to participate in the show know in their hearts.
Of course, although HEY3 is a variety show music group, it will not be as detailed as a real variety show, and what is handed over to the guests is a flow chart between MS and the variety show script, which roughly lists the questions that may be asked, as well as a simple script of the performance and conversation process arrangement.
REALLY SPEAKING, IN FRONT OF SUCH A SKILLED HOST AS DOWNTOWN, YOU CAN BASICALLY REST ASSURED, THERE ARE TWO OLD FRITTERS OF MATSU HONSHI AND HAMADA MASAKI, AND THE ACCIDENT IN THE CONVERSATION CAN BE SAID TO BE COMPLETELY NON-EXISTENT, BUT THIS TEAM OF BIG FUNNY ARTISTS WILL OCCASIONALLY LET GO OF THEMSELVES, GRAB THE PRIVACY PART OF THE GUESTS AND DIG HARD, AND TAKE PLEASURE IN THE GUESTS' REACTIONS, SO ON THIS SHOW, IN ADDITION TO HONESTLY LOOKING AT THE SCRIPT OF THE SHOW, YOU ALSO HAVE TO BE A LITTLE VIGILANT AND DON'T BE TRICKED.
Of course, after all, it is a prime-time music group, and the guests participating in the show are also singers and idols, so there must be no things that are too much, so the discussion process of this script may as well be changed to a confirmation process. About half an hour or so, Ye Zhao and Yuki Uemura got up to say goodbye to the staff of the program team: "Thank you today, and please take care of me later." โ
"Our side is, and I ask Ye Zhaosang to take care of it. The staff bowed ninety degrees and sent the two out of the room.
Coming out of the elevator, Ye Zhao met a somewhat unexpected character.
"Isn't this Ye Zhaosang? It's been a long time. "The woman who accosted her was short, mediocre, and had a strong woman-style lean short hair, who else could there be but Iijima Sanchi.
"Iijima-san, it's been a long time. Ye Zhao hurriedly greeted her.
"Ye Zhaosang has a job here?"
"Yes, come over to the HEY3 meet-and-greet. โ
Iijima Sanchi nodded, "Speaking of which, Ye Zhaosang and Fukuyama-san's collaborative single is about to be released, so the recent itinerary must be very intensive, right?"
"It's okay, it's just a booking for the magazine shoot and the sound. โ
"Having said that, I didn't expect Ye Zhaosang not only to write the song well, but also to do such a good job in the soundtrack of the TV series, which is really impressive. Iijima Sanchi led the conversation to the soundtrack of the SP of "Kanedaichi Shonen Incident Book".
Ye Zhao was a little surprised, "Does Iijima-san even know such a thing?"
Iijima Sanchi smiled, "Regarding this, I actually recommended you when I went to NTV to knock on the announcement, and I was chatting with the producer of "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book", but I didn't expect Sakuyama-san to really do it. โ
It's no wonder that NTV, which has never crossed paths, would think of sending him an invitation to produce a soundtrack, and it turned out that Sanchi Iijima was adding fuel to the fire. Come to think of it, if it wasn't recommended by someone, NTV wouldn't have put a good soundtrack composer out of use, and risked messing up to use a completely inexperienced singer to make the soundtrack.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhao said: "So that's the case, to be honest, I was quite puzzled when I first received the invitation. โ
"However, I'm really sorry to cause you trouble when Ye Zhaosang was busy making a new single. Iijima Sanzhi said politely.
"Where, thanks to Iijima-san, I have the opportunity to be exposed to different jobs. โ
Iijima Sanzhi accepted Ye Zhao's thanks with a smile, and then said without leaving his old business: "Ye Zhaosang's ability to produce best-selling songs is beyond doubt, our SMAP has not yet had a million singles, if Ye Zhaosang has any good songs in his hand, please don't forget us." โ
โฆโฆ
If the first time she met Sanchi Iijima backstage in MS, her sentence "Write a song for SMAP at any time" could still be regarded as a polite word, then this time Ye Zhao could no longer use her words today as social rhetoric. Anyway, if Iijima Sanchi is just to be polite to Ye Zhao, then there is no need to introduce him to Yuko Sakuyama, at least from this point of view, she values Ye Zhao very much, even if it is just for this "favor". Ye Zhao also had to say something.
Speaking of which, most of the people who provide lyrics and music for Genesys artists are well-known figures in the music industry. The previous smash hit Hikari GENJI, their first music was almost covered by Asuka Ryo, and a little later Kid, they were treated as nephews by Takuro Yoshida, and there were Yamashitaro Shitaro and Oda Tetsuro various Lang to provide songs, but SMAP sandwiched in the middle was relatively not so "superior" in terms of music, although there has always been no shortage of big-name songs, but they have never enjoyed the treatment escorted by gold medal producers.
And SMAP is not a group that wins with music, their singing skills are ...... It's very sparse, and even the most basic ones are barely out of tune, and the opportunity for them to become popular is not that any single sold millions of copies, but through the accumulation of variety shows and TV series, they finally ushered in an explosion, and then the soaring popularity drove the sales of singles.
If ordinary singers may sell well because they have a particularly good song, then Genesys's artists may be the complete opposite, and most of their sales come from the popularity of the group.
Speaking of which, I have to sincerely admire the forward-thinking vision of Kitagawa, the helmsman of Genesys, as early as when the music industry was still playing the past set of relying on music to earn word of mouth and gain popularity, he had already taken the first step to see that only the quality of music could not have lasting popularity, and if he wanted to capture old fans and attract more new fans, he must let his artists penetrate into various fields, so there was SMAP and a combination of multi-faceted development later.
