The familiar voice made Ye Zhao couldn't help but let out a "Ah......".

"Sister Quanshui?"

Sakai Izumi on the other end of the phone chuckled, "It's been a long time, Ye Jun." It was probably his own thoughts, as if the voice was coming from far away, with a slight sense of unreality.

Of course, this is also the case. They are now separated by tens of thousands of kilometers in a straight line.

"Indeed......" Ye Zhao echoed casually. There was no contact for a long time, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

Sakai Izumizu didn't care, "The first day's concert has ended successfully, right?"

"Yes, I'm having a party with the staff and the band at Nakano Sunplaza. Ye Zhao said slowly, with some memorable warmth in his heart, "I am really grateful for remembering this." ”

"Of course, because it's Ye Jun's first memorable concert. Although, I can't go and help you. Sakai said with a little regret.

"I received a flower basket from Izumi-sama Imai-sama, so I'm very grateful. Ye Zhao laughed silently, feeling that his mood relaxed a lot with such a small talk, "By the way, does Sister Quanshui still have to stay in Europe for a long time?"

"Not really...... Around the middle of November, I will be able to go back. As he spoke, the sound coming from the earpiece was interspersed with stinging noises.

"I thought Izumi-sama was going to spend the New Year on an overseas trip this year. ”

"I'd like to give it a try, but there's still a lot of work waiting for me in the Tokyo studio. ”

At the peak of his career, Izumi Sakai produced at least one album and three to four singles a year on average, spending most of his time in the studio except for such a combination of public and private travel. This time was no exception, after enjoying this window period of overseas travel, what awaited her was a busy schedule that reversed day and night.

"If I say it now, I'm going to make you feel very embarrassed. Ye Zhao said deliberately, "Although the work is very important, it is ......"

“…… Please also pay attention to your body. Sakai Izumisui took half of what he had said. Then he smiled: "This sentence is really, I've heard it too many times." However, thank you very much, and then, I also give this sentence to Ye Jun, who has been very busy recently. Please take care of yourself. ”

Ye Zhao also smiled, "Please rest assured about this." ”

……

"Is it in England, France, Spain, or now?"

Sakai Spring said "um......", "It's a pity that I didn't say anything right." She sold it a little, and Ye Zhao also waited cooperatively, until she said the answer: "Actually, I am in Chianti, Italy now." ”

"Chianti, where Chianti wine is made?"

"Yes, roughly an hour from Florence? Originally, I just wanted to come and see it, but I found an interesting inn that had been converted into a winery, which was really new for tourists like me. So I couldn't help but want to stop for two days. ”

"And," Ye Zhao added jokingly, "since it's in a wine-producing area, of course you have to drink a little bit." ”

Sakai Izumi smiled, "Indeed. Although I don't think I'm a lover of alcohol, from France to Italy, I'm fluttering if I don't pay attention. When she said fluttering, she probably meant that she was slightly drunk after drinking.

"In the middle of November," Ye Zhao pondered, "there is probably a chance to catch up with the final performance of Hibiya None on the 25th, right?"

"I think so. ”

"If that's the case, I'll leave a ticket for the final show for Sister Izumi. Ye Zhao said.

"Thank you. Then I'll take it unceremoniously first?" From the voice of Sakai Spring Water, you can feel that her mood is very pleasant, "By the way, Ye Jun's side, it's late at night, right?"

"Well," Ye Zhao raised his hand and looked at his watch, "It's almost eleven o'clock at night." What about Sister Izumi? Probably ......" He probably converted the time zone.

However, before he could figure it out, Sakai Izumi replied first, "I'm enjoying the afternoon sun leisurely here." ”

"It's amazing. Ye Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

Hung up the phone and returned to the lively celebration site, everyone was still drinking happily, and the people who drank more openly had obvious drunkenness on their faces. After returning to his place and sitting down, Mika Kawashima, who was next to his seat, hooked his neck quite "informally", and held a beer glass in the other hand, "It's been a long call, Ye Jun." ”

"It didn't take long, right?" Ye Zhao looked at Mika Kawashima, whose cheeks were flushed, and replied in a vague tone.

Mika Kawashima didn't want to dwell on who this call came from, so she didn't care about his perfunctory, "It's a pity, Ye Jun can't drink today." is a rare celebration party, and I want to explore Ye Jun's alcohol consumption. ”

"That kind of thing doesn't need to be excavated. Ye Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth and pointed to the wine glass in her hand, "Also, Sister Meixiang, if you don't exercise a little moderation, if you drink your throat down, I won't forgive you later." ”

The two concerts in Osaka are on November 10 and 11, less than half a month away, and during this time, there are three concert rehearsals, and if someone does have a small accident, it will definitely bring a series of troubles.

"Big husband, big husband~" Mika Kawashima took a sip of beer with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it's just such a small drink." ”

"......" But your posture has nothing to do with "a small drink", right? While complaining in his heart, Ye Zhao lowered his body, dodged the arm that Mika Kawashima pressed on him, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Of course, although she said "big husband", Mika Kawashima didn't really care about letting go of herself, and after drinking the glass in her hand, although she was still a little unhappy, she still put down the wine glass. Ye Zhao poured a cup of oolong tea and handed it to her with a good look, and Mika Kawashima patted his head, "People are so gentle, Ye Jun." ”

"Although thank you very much, Sister Meixiang's patting technique seems to be touching a puppy. Ye Zhao said in disgust.

Mika Kawashima couldn't help but be happy, "How can there be such a thing." ”

It was already 12 o'clock in the evening, the last train had stopped, and transportation in Tokyo became the world of taxis.

I don't know if it's particularly worth mentioning, that is, in addition to the dinner party tonight being made by Nagato Daiyuki, the transportation expenses of everyone present are also fully reimbursed by being. Although it is a stingy being in production and publicity, there are still benefits that should be available.

Yuki Uemura also drank, and Ye Zhao had to call a taxi back. However, before leaving, he put Mika Kawashima in a taxi first. Fortunately, she drank an amazing amount of alcohol and was not drunk at all.

……

In the last week of October, the Shiseido commercial accompanying Makoto Kawamoto's debut single officially began to be broadcast on TV, and thanks to the daily rounds of bombardment by the TV station, the single was immediately unprecedentedly popular.

After officially finalizing the cooperation with Shiseido, Sony anticipated the possible future of the grand event, although the cumulative sales of this single at that time were less than 100,000 copies, but Tadao Okazaki still defied public opinion and boldly produced 200,000 copies in advance and put them there for stock. Of course, this also takes a considerable risk, and if the follow-up sales of this single are not as expected, the record company will lose a lot of money.

On October 27, the day before Ye Zhao's concert began, Shiseido's advertisements officially began to be broadcast on TV stations.

On October 29, Sony received a request for additional orders from record stores.

By the last day of October, when the weekly charts came out, Makoto Kawamoto's single sold 90,000 copies this week, more than she had sold in the first three weeks of its release. And, given that Shiseido's ad was only two days from the beginning to the week's list, the 90,000 copies were a staggering one, and there is no doubt about the effectiveness of this ad.

180,000 copies were sold in October, and it is expected that with the bombardment of advertising, sales of this single will continue to climb in November, and the bet that Ye Aki and Tadao Okazaki made about Ami Ohuni and Yumi Yoshimura is also close to victory.

If you want to say that this single is a big hit because it was photographed by Shiseido, it can't be regarded as Ye Zhao's own strength, it is almost like playing a scoundrel. Small things, things that don't have a big impact, can be done by your own efforts, such as studying hard by yourself, and finally being admitted to the university you want.

But what is the "own" effort to do something like selling a record? Is it ridiculous to camp in the open air, put 300,000 singles there and sell them on the street, and shake hands and high-five everyone who bought the record?

Therefore, now, Tadao Okazaki did not wait for Kawamoto Makoto's single to really sell 300,000 copies, and directly found Ye Zhao and discussed the debut of two girls, Ami Ohuki and Yumi Yoshimura. Anyway, since it is profitable, of course, the sooner you start making money, the better.

For these, Ye Zhao is naturally confident. After all, there's a template that has already worked out in your head. In fact, from the success of Makoto Kawamoto and the performance of some other rookie singers in 1995, it can be felt that the music scene is not only becoming more and more inclusive, but also gradually getting tired of some of the routines they were playing before.

Even if they start preparing for their debut half a year in advance, the debut dates of Ami Otsuki and Yumi Yoshimura will have to be put to at least March or April of the following year, which is not much different from the debut dates in their original historical trajectory.

Interestingly, just when the two of them were notified by Tadao Okazaki that they would have the opportunity to debut, and the corresponding courses were arranged, the two met the person who was supposed to be their real Bole in Sony's internal studio: Okuda Minsheng.

At this time, after the disbandment of Unicorn, the self-adjustment after the disbandment of the band, and the successful restart after the solo flight, Okuda Minsheng has more and more his own opinions on pop music. After meeting two interesting girls, Ami Okan and Yumi Yoshimura, he immediately became interested in these two girls.

It's just that when he found his executive producer and proposed this production plan, he learned that Ye Zhao already had a plan for the two of them to debut as a group. What's even more interesting is that after briefly listening to Tadao Okazaki's description of Ye Zhao's idea, Okuda Minsheng found that the two of them had the same idea.

In this way, in November, Ha Akira, who had just completed his first rehearsal in Osaka and returned to Tokyo by Shinkansen, met with Okuda Minsheng, one of his favorite musicians, under the mediation of Tadao Okazaki.

Facing Aotian Minsheng, Ye Zhao's expression was a little restrained. Although after entering this circle, he has seen a lot of big people, even in the face of a character like Saburo Kitajima, he just follows the etiquette of treating his seniors.

But Okuda Minsheng is different, if he goes to participate in some strange talk show now, and when it is about to end, the host with a bitter face asks him to say the last word, and he will definitely come to say, "I really want to meet Okuda Minsheng/Hiroto Komoto". No matter what age or position a person is, there are always one or two people in my heart who I particularly admire and want to meet.

However, there is absolutely no such thing as being so excited that you can't speak or dare to look at each other. At most, after bowing to each other, Ye Zhao specially added: "I like Mr. Okuda very much. ”

From the outside, Okuda Minsheng is like an ordinary club member, if he wears a black suit, a white shirt and a twill tie instead of casual clothes, he definitely looks like an honest office worker. In the face of Ye Zhao's direct "confession", Aotian Minsheng, who was a little introverted by nature, was embarrassed, but still smiled, "Thank you." ”

The two of them met to discuss the debut of two girls, Ami Ohuki and Yumi Yoshimura.

Tetsuya Komuro's success has made many musicians unwilling to be lonely, and they have changed careers to the role of producers, and Okuda Minsheng is no exception, wanting to see his ability to be a producer, so when he met Ami Ohuki and Yumi Yoshimura in the studio, he immediately moved the idea of making them into a group.

Although in the end, his idea fell through because Ye Zhao had booked the two of them in advance, but the coincidences with Ye Zhao still made him decide to come to meet with Ye Zhao and discuss the specific debut matters together.

In the current music scene, Tetsuya Komuro is unstoppable, and being is in decline, and as for love and dew, they are still trembling in their winter. They can't go against Tetsuya Komuro, and they can't go down the old path that others have already taken. Therefore, the goal of both people is very clear, that is, to take a new path that learns from the experience of their predecessors, but has never been seen before. 2k reading web
