What kind of movie is "The Moon and the Cabbage"?

A singer who has run out of inspiration is away from the metropolis and lives a life of growing cabbage in the countryside, and on the way back from a visit to a friend, he meets a cute girl dancing in front of him, and the two of them spend a summer together.

As for why you emphasize that it is a cute girl...... If this girl is not cute, she suddenly dances in front of the male protagonist, and she will only be regarded as a psychopathy and then turn around and leave.

During this time of living together, the male protagonist was re-energized by this lovely girl and began to write new songs. But at the same time, the girl's life story was slowly revealed.

It turns out that this cute girl is actually a ghost, who unfortunately died of a tornado while participating in a dance competition, because she was a fan of the male protagonist during her lifetime, so after becoming a ghost, she came to the male protagonist.

After she disappeared, the actor finally created a satisfactory work with his thoughts about her, and the name of the song was "One More Time, One More Chance...... That's right, it's the song that Sony Records ruthlessly rejected.

In the case of the movie "The Moon and the Cabbage", first of all, this story ...... In order to forcibly send a bento to the heroine, it is really a trick to make it. Car accidents and terminal illnesses no longer satisfy screenwriters......

But putting aside these few places that are a bit bloody, as far as this movie is concerned, the song "One More Time, One More Chance" written by Masaki Masaki, as the protagonist of the movie, is enough to be called tailor-made.

Maybe it's really like what kind of lid is used for any tea bowl, because Ye Zhao took away this "lid" in advance, which caused the most critical theme song part of the film to be difficult to give birth after entering the preparatory stage. Moreover, this theme song is not only the theme song, if this is the case, it is still too late to listen to the sample while the shooting begins.

What's special is that this song is like a vein buried deep in the film, and without this song, then the story wouldn't be able to hold up.

Therefore, when Masaki Masaki, who was in charge of the music part of the film, was unable to come up with a work that satisfied the production team, director Tetsuo Shinohara, through Yukihiko Tsutsumi, who had a little contact with him, gave this song invitation to Ye Zhao.

Shinohara-san was deeply moved by Ye Jun's "Singer's Love Song" and hoped that Ye Jun could provide a theme song for this new movie in preparation. ”

"However, because it is a low-cost production, the price of buying music over there is not too high......." Contributing songs to other singers, of course, is not free, the royalty share is a royalty share, and the money to buy the song before the release is a separate part. Now Ye Zhao, if he goes to film a TV series, even if he is the protagonist, the salary for one episode is estimated to be more than 600,000 yen, and even if it is the most expensive, it will not reach 800,000 yen. But in the music circle, it is already the most expensive batch of new musicians.

took the synopsis of the movie that came from the opposite side and watched it again and again, complaining and complaining, but Ye Zhao still seriously considered this invitation. When he first came here, in order to get rid of his predicament, he almost did not hesitate to take out this song and use it.

Later, he took many singers' songs to use one after another, and if you want to say that you are embarrassed, of course there is, after all, you have taken away the fruits of other people's labor. But what if he had to do it all over again...... He didn't even plan to do it all over again, because he didn't regret it at all.

The most he can do is not to get involved in tunes that have a special meaning for a certain singer.

For example, "Sakurasaka", which helped Masaharu Fukuyama's musical performance to a higher level, "Pride", the "declaration of love" by Miki Imai and Fubukuro Intai, or "First Love", which is not only a must-have for Mitsuta Utada, although these songs are all popular and popular, but for Ye Zhao, it is just one more best-selling song, but for these singers, it is of great and far-reaching significance.

So, from this point of view, the singer he feels the most guilty about so far, that is, the current actor of "The Moon and Cabbage", because of his messy entry, Yamazaki Masaki, who is really exhausted of inspiration. The song "One More Time, One More Chance" is just an abandoned song for him, but without this song, Yamazaki Masaki's salted fish career may last for a long, long time.

But maybe it's really a kind of "fate" in the dark, a small-budget movie, a director who is still not well-known, actually sent an invitation to the song, even if his current "worth" is a little expensive, he still tried it.

Since this is the case, Ye Zhao felt that he might as well push the boat down the river and return this piece to his original owner. …… Although it can't be regarded as a return, because even if it is given to Yamazaki Shoji, the copyright of the lyrics and songs has already belonged to him. But in the end, with "One More Time, One More Chance", Yamazaki Masaki is much better than nothing.

However, even if this song is not sung by Yamazaki Shoyoshi as popular as in the original history because of this variable, he will never give this song to a second person.

After making up his mind, Ye Zhao dialed Yukihiko Di's phone.

"Excuse me, Tysan. ”

"Oh...... Ye Jun. Is there something wrong?" the two have known each other for a long time and have worked together one after another, so they omitted those greetings without content and went straight to the topic.

"It's about the theme song of the movie "The Moon and the Cabbage". Ye Zhao said, "I read the synopsis of the movie and am very interested in this story. I just happened to have a song I had made before, and it was quite in tune with this story. So, I'd like to ask Tsutsu-san to help explain it to Shinohara-san, and if you don't mind, I'll send the tune over. ”

"So readily agreed?" Yukihiko Tsutsumi was a little surprised, "No problem, I'll help you contact Shinohara-san." I think he will be very happy to hear this. …… Of course, he will definitely be happier if you give him a friendship price. ”

At this time, he still remembered to help Tetsuo Shinoha say goodbye.

"Don't worry," Ye Zhao assured him, "I will definitely come up with a friendship price." ”

Soon after hanging up the phone, Yukihiko Tsutsumi called again and told Ye Zhao that Tetsuo Shinohara wanted to negotiate with him in person, and Ye Zhao had no choice but to agree immediately. Tetsuo Shinohara wanted to hear a sample of the song as soon as possible, and even though there were two days before his final concert by Hibiya None, he took a moment to meet him at a café in Yurakucho the next afternoon.

……

Putting down the phone, Ye Zhao opened the drawer and rummaged through the sample that Tadao Okazaki had returned to him at that time. However, it took a little time, and I didn't find it after rummaging around. I had no choice but to record it again.

Fortunately, the office is not too far from being's headquarters building, and although the company's in-house recording studio is not professional enough, it is more than enough to record a sample. He immediately set out from here and returned to being.

"It's been a long time, Ye Zhaosang. As soon as he entered the company, the young female receptionist greeted him for a long time.

"Yes, are you okay?" Ye Zhao greeted her with a smile. Unless something comes here, he often never shows up here for ten days and half a month, so the greetings of "long time no see" have to be heard every once in a while.

"Thanks to you, everything is fine. Hibiya None's final concert is coming soon, so I wish you all the best. ”

"Thank you. Ye Zhao bowed to her and walked to the elevator. When I came to the recording studio, I borrowed the right to use the recording studio, and when I had already made up my mind, I completed the new sample production in three times and five by two.

Putting the new sample in his pocket, Ye Zhao seemed to be incarnated as a "wind-like man", and hurriedly left being again. Before leaving, I didn't forget to say hello to the receptionist, "See you next time, Miss Aoyama." ”

is polite and kind to everyone up and down the company, which is also one of Ye Zhao's advantages. Thanks to this, he has maintained a high level of popularity among the company's employees. Notes: Especially female staff.

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Ye Zhao arrived at the agreed café five minutes earlier than the agreed time, and at this time, Tetsuo Shinohara's people had already arrived. However, a bit of an unexpected situation is that in addition to him, the actor of "The Moon and Cabbage" Yamazaki Shoyoshi also appeared in the café.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you when Ye Zhaosang is so busy. Tetsuo Shinoha greeted him.

"It's my pleasure to meet you. Ye Zhao replied with a very modest attitude. The longer I spend in the entertainment industry, the more I understand that you must not offend any behind-the-scenes staff. No matter how popular an artist is, there will always be a day when the momentum will run out, and in this ecosystem, it will always be an iron-clad Starf artist.

This was the first time Ye Zhao had met Tetsuo Shinohara, and from the outside, he looked like an ordinary Japanese. It was Yamazaki Shoyoshi next to him who made Ye Zhao subconsciously take a few more looks.

Without waiting for Shinoha Tetsuo to speak, Yamazaki Yoshisen politely owed and explained: "I heard from Mr. Shinohara-chan that Ye Zhaosang had prepared the theme song of the movie, and although he was very presumptuous, he still followed with a cheeky face. ”

How do you describe Masaki Yamazaki...... Probably just a person who doesn't have a sharp edge, right? However, although he doesn't seem to have a sharp edge and is modest and introverted, he can feel a kind of strength in this person. For example, if he met such a person when he was a student, and both of them happened to like music, then he would definitely take the initiative to invite him to form a band or something.

However, the biggest significance of these thoughts for now is that his first impression of Yamazaki Masaki is very good. Other than that, there is no real meaning.

"It doesn't matter. Ye Zhao also returned the salute to him. After another round of pleasantries, he put the small tape recorder and cassette tape he had brought with him on the table, "Please listen to it." ”

Afterwards, Ye Zhao learned that the reason why Yamazaki Shoyoshi deliberately followed Shinoha Tetsuo was because he was a singer-songwriter and played a role as a singer-songwriter, so he didn't want to sing songs provided by others, although he had to accept the reality of asking for external support because he couldn't set a suitable theme song for a long time, but he still had a persistence in his heart, and explained in advance to Shinoha Tetsuo that if this song couldn't move him, even if he apologized to Ye Zhao in person, he would flatly refuse.

I don't have a lot of time, so even if it looks a little weird, Tetsuo Shinohara, and Masaki Masaki still have one earphone per person, and they listen to such a "love song" together.

And when the two of them listened to the song, Ye Zhao took a sip of the coffee in front of him, maybe it was because of the last time he drank coffee or the time he drank it with Sakai Spring Water in Ginza, he subconsciously compared it in his heart, and secretly thought to himself, although the coffee here tastes good, but it is really better than the one he drank that night.

"How?" When Tetsuo Shinoha and Masaki took off their headphones, Ye Zhao took the initiative to ask.

"How do you say it...... "I don't know if it's cheeky to say that," I don't know if it's cheeky to say that, but when I hear this song, I feel a little like 'a song dug out of my own body.'" This is the so-called "father-son connection" between the composer and the song, right?

Ye Zhao smiled, "I think, this should be the highest reward, right?" Actually, his heart was a little bottomless. He wasn't sure if the original author would have the same inspiration after a song was preemptively decided by him, after all, he just registered the copyright of the song and included it in his library, not the official release of the song.

But judging by Yamazaki Masaki's reaction, his worries seem to be unnecessary. In this case, he can also relax a little, not only this song, but also many songs that will be registered for copyright by him in advance.

Quietly putting away the thoughts that had risen in his heart, Ye Zhao went to look at Shinohara-san again, "What does Shinohara-san think?"

"Quite a tune. To borrow a phrase from Mr. Yamazaki, it feels like a piece made for a movie. Shinoha Tetsuo said, "But listening to Tsutsusang, this is actually a piece that Ye Zhaosang has been making for a long time, and the degree of this harmony is really incredible." ”

"This is probably the so-called fate, right?" Ye Zhao said, "It's been more than a year since this piece was made, but it hasn't found a suitable home, so it hasn't been used." Now, it's great to be able to make the two of them feel like they're in tune. So ......"

"Although it's a bit rude, however, I have also said here before that because the crew's funds are a little tight, they may not be able to pay too high a price......" Tetsuo Shinoha expressed his embarrassment after thinking about it.

"Don't worry. Ye Zhao said, "A while ago, I was fortunate to participate in the production of the film with Tysang, and I also experienced the difficulties of the crew, and Tysang also told me so." So, I'll give you a friendly price. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Zhao smiled and stretched out a finger, "It's only a hundred yen." 2k reading network
