Chapter 143: The Artist's Troubles
The first batch of singles shipped, even Ye Zhao himself, only got ten.
As early as when the single was sent to the office, the "Four Heavenly Kings of the Ye Family", who was the patriarch of his office, was close to the water building, and each person took one first. This is also a practice that has been saved since the establishment of the firm. This first round of distribution alone has cut almost half of the ten singles.
In addition, there is also a copy sent to Yuko Takeuchi, who served as the cover of this single, which is also indispensable. Then there is the one sent to his sister Ye Qing in his Yokohama hometown and the one sent to Watanabe Lu in Kyoto, which have already been booked.
In this way, you cut it down with one knife and I cut it down, and what really belongs to Ye Zhao can be freely distributed is only three.
And among these three, one has been given away by the way when he met with Nakama Yukie, plus the one he left as a souvenir, and in the shortage of places, only the last one remains, and there is no owner of it.
Ye Zhao doesn't have many friends in Tokyo, and there are even fewer confidants, but there are few, and there is not only one. After thinking about it again and again, after getting off the train at Sanxuan Chaya Station, he still took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Sakai Springs.
The other end of the phone waited coldly for a long time, but it was not answered.
Hanging up the phone, Ye Zhao stared at the screen that was slowly dimming, and his heart inexplicably swelled up with a slight amazement. It's just that the moment of surprise is as fleeting as a meteor piercing the night sky, and then everything is calm again.
Anyway, when he had nothing to do, Ye Zhao relied on his memory to find the izakaya called Hotaru that he had been to when he met Yukihiko Tsutsumi last time. The shop was as quiet as last time, and the uncle, who was the manager, chef and waiter, was sitting at the bar reading the newspaper when he heard someone come in, and he raised his head, "Welcome." Is it a person today?"
"Yes. Ye Zhao sat down in front of the narrow row of bars, "The boss's memory is really good. ”
"Because you're so famous, if you come once in a while, you always have to let others remember it for a long time. The tone of the boss's speech, even when it was serious, was easy to give the impression of a joke.
Ye Zhao smiled and didn't answer. His eyes swept over the wooden sign with the menu on it in the store, and he ordered teriyaki cod and a small casserole stew. "Wine ......"
"There's authentic Kagoshima shochu that was delivered yesterday. The boss prompted.
"In that case," Ye Zhao gave up his intention to drink beer, "please bring me a pot." ”
The boss put down the newspaper and walked into the inner kitchen, and then, Ye Zhao heard the sound of turning on the faucet and washing his hands.
……
"Then again, business in the store is really bad. Drinking wine, Ye Zhao was quite casual, and even chatted with the boss a little rudely.
"This kind of thing is said directly, and you are really not polite at all. Although the boss said this, he was not angry at all, but happy. It seems that he not only speaks in a casual tone, but also has a very casual personality.
"It's just a pity, the boss's craftsmanship is obviously so good. Ye Zhao half-jokingly proposed, "Do you want me to help promote it for you?"
The boss shook his head, "It's just right now, if there are too many people, you have to find people again, and all kinds of troubles will follow, don't hurt me to increase my workload." ”
Getting this answer, Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing.
……
"Ye Zhaosang, how does it feel to be an artist?" the boss chatted with him.
Ye Zhao replied without thinking, "Well, of course, it's incomparably wonderful." ”
"That's such a quick answer, I thought you'd say something like, 'Artists have trouble with artists.'" ”
"I wouldn't say that, even if I did sometimes, I would never say it. Ye Zhao said seriously, "The troubles of those so-called artists are known before they become artists, and if you still have to complain, it is to be cheap and good." ”
"I can't see it, Ye Zhaosang's mentality is really good......"
As soon as the boss's words were halfway through, Ye Zhao's mobile phone in his handbag rang. I took out my phone, and the number on it showed Sakai Spring Water.
"Shouldn't I be better off with it?"
"It's not a confidential phone either...... although he likes to answer the phone in front of others, no matter who the call comes from.
"I know, I know. The boss smiled and took the initiative to avoid the inner room.
When he said this, Ye Zhao felt a little uncomfortable. However, the mobile phone is still ringing tirelessly, and it is imperative to answer the phone quickly.
Press the answer button, "Good evening, Sister Izumi." ”
"Good evening, Ye Jun. "The background sound on the other end of the phone is a bit noisy, and the sound of Sakai Spring Water is not very clear. "I'm sorry, I didn't hear your call just now. ”
"Is Sister Quanshui outside?"
"Well, I went to Nara with the staff to take pictures, and I just heard that there was a fireworks display in nearby Gojo City today, so I came over with everyone to join in the fun, because the scene was a little noisy, so I didn't hear your call. ”
"Is it over now?"
"It's been over for a while, but there are a lot of people on the scene, and it took a long time just to retreat. Now I'm about to go back to the hotel where I stay......" Sakai Izumi said slowly, "By the way, is there anything wrong with Ye Jun?"
"Actually, it's not important. I just wanted to tell Sister Quanshui that I received the first batch of new singles shipped today. Because Sister Quanshui was present throughout the recording of this single, even the inspiration for the cover was thought of when chatting with Sister Quanshui. So, do you want to accept one as a souvenir?" Although it has been a whole year since I joined being, and three regular singles have been released, it is the first time that I have taken the initiative to send a single to Sakai Izumi.
"Of course, I'm also looking forward to seeing the finished single. Sakai Izumi's tone was as happy as singing, "But, Ye Jun, it seems that there is no need to be so careful about sending singles." ”
"That being said, I'm still a little embarrassed. After all, even if I look a little cheeky, I'm actually the kind of person who is afraid of rejection. ”
"About this...... Actually, I have a little bit of it. Although I couldn't see her through the phone line, with Ye Zhao's understanding of her after getting along with her, she was probably unconsciously bowing her head lightly now, considering the words, "However, because I am the one who is afraid of rejection, I feel very happy when I am taken care of by others like this." ”
"Yes, I'm glad to hear Sister Quanshui say that. Ye Zhao laughed and deliberately said again, "Since this is the case, please ask Sister Quanshui to accept this single as a souvenir." ”
