Chapter Eighty-Seven: Give You Your Signature Back
The whole audition lasted less than five minutes, although there was basically no experience in acting, and the lines and dialogues were very immature, but the three onlookers still gave Ye Zhao a pretty good evaluation.
Fukasawa Masaki praised without hesitation: "Although it is very green, it is very aura." I think if I train a little, I will definitely surprise everyone. ”
The actor selection of the murderer of the Injinkan Village murder incident has been finalized, but after giving Ye Zhao's acting skills a good evaluation, producer Yuko Kazuyama said that he would respect Ye Zhao's wishes and try to arrange a murderer role for him.
Although it was a bit strange to swear that he would be the murderer, it did not prevent Ye Zhao from being happy that he had opened a new door.
After Yuko Sasayama announced that the meeting was over, the people from the producer still left the conference room first. Taking this opportunity, Ye Zhao thanked Gang Domoto: "Domoto-san, thank you for your help in the audition just now." ”
Tang Bengang was a little embarrassed, "It's just a gesture, Ye Zhaosang's performance is also quite good, especially the change in his eyes, to be honest, it scares me a little." ”
"If there is no accident, I will perform with Domoto-san again in the future, and then I will ask Domoto Sando-san to advise. Ye Zhao owes himself.
"I'm here, please advise. ”
Domoto, who still had a trip next, quickly said goodbye to everyone and left first, and Rie Tomosaka finally had the opportunity to talk to Ye Zhao, "Last time, Ye Zhaosang promised me to go to the crew to visit the class, but it didn't show up until it was finished." ”
"I'm sorry, but I really couldn't spare time at all, and the work on the soundtrack had nothing to do with the scene, so it was rude to the staff on the set to rush over. Ye Zhao explained.
"But this time, since Ye Zhaosang is also going to star, he can see him on the set, right?"
"Now it seems that this is the case, and I will have to ask Tomosaka Santado to take care of it then. As a newcomer to acting, it will definitely cause you a lot of trouble. ”
Rie Tomosaka replied boldly, "It's okay! If it's Ye Zhaosang, even if I NG a few more times, I won't be angry." ”
"This ...... It's the director and Shi Dafu San who will be angry, right?" Ye Zhao broke out in a cold sweat, "By the way, last time I promised Tomosaka-san to send you a CD, because I didn't go to the set, I didn't send it, so this time I brought you a new single." ”
"Really, thank you Ye Zhaosang!" said Rie Tomosaka smiled.
"However, I also have something I want to ask Tomosaka-san. ”
"Huh?"
"That's right, I have a friend who is a fan of Tomosaka-san, so I also want to ask Tomosaka-san to sign for me. ”
Rie Tomosaka looked incredulous, "Ye Zhaosang's friend is my fan?!"
"Yes, I admire Tomosaka-san quite a lot. He also told me that if it was Tomosaka-san, he would definitely bring a paper bag to school on Valentine's Day and put the chocolate he received in it. ”
"Hahahaha!" Rie Tomosaka laughed, "I didn't even know I was so popular!"
Coming out of the conference room, Yuki Uemura and Rie Tomosaka's agents were already waiting in the hallway. Ye Zhao asked for a backpack from Yuki Uemura and took out two singles of different specifications, which had been signed in advance, in addition to Ye Zhao, there was also the signature of Masaharu Fukuyama. This was signed by Masaharu Fukuyama yesterday when he was in the MS backstage.
Rie Tomosaka took the single with both hands, "There's even Fukuyama-san's signature? Handing over the single to the agent, Rie Tomosaka took the autograph book, signed his name, and then asked, "What is the name of Ye Zhaosang's friend?"
"It's called 'Koe', and it's the same word as Tomosaka-san's 'Megumi'. ”
"Xiaohui?" Rie Tomosaka repeated, teasing: "The girl's name, it shouldn't be Ye Zhaosang's girlfriend, right?"
"Unfortunately, no. ”
Rie Tomosaka wrote the words "TO Koe" on the autograph, and even painted a heart on the back with great interest. After handing over the autograph book to Ye Zhao, he didn't forget to quip: "If my signature can bring the relationship between the two of you closer, I will be very happy." ”
Ye Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth, "Why do you suddenly want to return the signature to you so much......
However, Rie Tomosaka had already waved goodbye to him vigorously, and hurried to the next announcement with her agent, 1995 was one of the busiest years of her entertainment career.
……
The next Monday afternoon, after making an appointment by phone, Ye Zhao went to the Sony Records Building to meet Tadao Okazaki, the director of the production of the first one.
In the reception room, Tadao Okazaki did not cut directly to the topic, but took out a cassette tape and put it on the coffee table in front of him. Ye Zhao glanced at it, and the tape said "One more time, One more chance", which was undoubtedly the tape he had sent to Sony.
"What does this mean?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows.
"In March this year, the company conducted a second screening of song samples that were eliminated last year, and the staff stumbled upon this. If that's right, this sample is from Ye Zhaosang, right?" said Tadao Okazaki.
Ye Zhao nodded, "Yes, I sent it out by myself around this time last year." ”
"We listened to the tune, it was really good, and it maintained Ye Zhaosang's usual level. We couldn't find Ye Zhaosang's jade at the beginning, but now it seems to be our loss. Tadao Okazaki pondered the language, "So I'm a little curious, why did Ye Zhaosang choose us this time?"
"Do you need a reason for this?" Ye Zhao rubbed his cheek with his index finger and thought for a while, "If I have to say one thing, it is that I have taken a fancy to your company's tolerance and strong strength for the singer's style, after all, no one will be unable to live with the future." ”
Ye Zhao's straightforward words made Tadao Okazaki smile, "It would be ashamed to say that the tolerance of the singer's style is ashamed, after all, this tolerance has not been able to accommodate Ye Zhaosang." ”
"About this," Ye Zhao said, "Although the music itself is unbiased, a good song is a good song, even children can tell whether a song is pleasant or not, but people who listen to music are subjective, since some people like it, some people will hate it, so there is nothing particularly regrettable." ”
"Don't hide it from Ye Zhaosan, Komuro-san brought about an electronic music frenzy last year, and even I think this whirlwind can last for a long time. Our company has no intention of competing with Komuro-san in this regard.,In the final analysis.,This kind of thing is just picking up people's teeth.。 ”
Tadao Okazaki paused, then continued, "Rather than following the tide of the times and picking up other people's leaks, our company hopes to be a pioneer of new paths, so throughout the last year, our company has focused on some relatively trendy music styles, signed several visual kei bands, and also absorbed talents in R&B, HIPHOP, etc. ”
The reason why we will conduct a second screening of last year's samples this year is also to consider that since most of the musicians who are responsible for listening to the samples are concerned about new music, it is inevitable that talented people who will be beaten down because of this subjectivity, in order not to appear in the dust, this screening is carried out again. ”
Tadao Okazaki's words sounded high-sounding, but to Ye Zhao's ears, he felt a little harsh. The record company, which holds the power of life and death, can not only veto the candidates without hesitation, but also take it for granted that it is extremely benevolent to give them a chance after a long time.
But even if this attitude made Ye Zhao a little uncomfortable, he had to admit that the reality was like this, for those who had no foundation in the candidates, even if it was a late opportunity, it was very rare. If he didn't have that series of opportunities, and was just an ordinary, occasional musician, then even if this sample reply was a year late, as long as he hadn't signed a contract with the company, he would still come right away, just to seize the opportunity that might be once in a lifetime.
After all, as a reborn, he is much luckier than the rest of the world.
……
Thinking of this, Ye Zhao no longer dwelled on those old things, but led the topic to Kazuyo Kawamoto, "Mr. Okazaki, let's talk about Miss Kawamoto." ”
"Okay. Tadao Okazaki nodded, "I watched the video of Miss Kawamoto's performance with several colleagues, and everyone was surprised that there was such a distinctive girl, especially me, who believed that she had the potential to become popular." ”
"I also have confidence in Ms. Kawamoto, so I put a lot of effort into the selection of her record company and the production of her songs. ”
"Ye Zhaosang means to personally serve as a producer for Miss Kawamoto?"
