Ye Zhao received the notice handed by Jun Takeda, which was an interview invitation from CDDATA.

"CDDATA" is of great significance on Ye Zhao's road to fame, this magazine not only brought him considerable help during his underground period, and later many music magazines attacked him, "CDDATA" not only did not join the camp of falling into the well but chose neutrality, and when his new single was released, he made a reasoned and well-founded analysis of the title song of the new single, and even wrote at the end of the article "We have reason to believe that he is a real genius", which can be said to be the top praise.

Although he had not had a single contact with the magazine, there was no doubt that the relationship between them was very deep. It is also because of this understanding that Toshicai Takeda did not arbitrarily make a judgment on whether Ye Zhao should accept it or not.

In this invitation, there is a rough list of things that may need to be asked about him, mainly around his music creation and some inconsequential hobbies and other questions, in addition, the magazine also wants to take a set of photos for Ye Zhao. As for the timing of the interview, the magazine said that it respects Ye Zhao's schedule, but it is best to complete it within this month.

After confirming that there would be no sensitive issues, Ye Zhao instructed Nanjo Kuan, "Help me contact CDDATA, and say that I agree to accept their interview." As for the timing, if that's okay over there, let's do it in a day or two. ”

"Received!" Nanjo Kuan turned around and made a call, and came back after a while, "Ye Zhaosang, I have made an appointment with CDDATA at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon." Is that okay?"

Ye Zhao made an OK gesture.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Zhao, accompanied by Yuki Uemura, came to a studio somewhere in Shinjuku 3-chome.

The first part of the first part is to take pictures, the stylist confirmed that Ye Zhao's hairstyle and makeup are okay for the last time, and the costume artist has adjusted the collar of the gray casual suit for him, and the octagonal light reflector and so on are all in place.

The main purpose of this time is to interview, and only one or two photos are taken at most to make a picture, so the photographer did not ask Ye Zhao how to concave the shape, but just took a few sets of hard photos, and after confirming that there was no problem, he announced that the photo part was successfully completed.

The interview was conducted in the café downstairs, and in order to create a relaxed atmosphere for this interview, CDDATA specially chartered this café with a rather atmospheric decoration.

The female reporter in charge of the interview, whose name was Yoshie Nagano, wore long hair in a shawl and a pink camel biker jacket, and was about twenty-five or sixteen years old.

Yoshie Nagano greeted: "First time we meet, I am Yoshie Nagano, the exclusive reporter of "CDDATA" who will interview you next, so please take care of me." ”

Ye Zhao returned the salute: "My side is here, I want to ask Miss Nagano to take more care." ”

The two sat down at a small table for two by the window, and Yoshie Nagano placed a silver pocket tape recorder on the table. The waitress in the shop presented the menu, and Yoshie Nagano asked, "What does Ye Zhaosang want to drink?"

"Let's have a latte. Ye Zhao didn't open the menu.

Yoshie Nagano looked at the waiter waiting on the side, "Please give us two lattes." ”

The waiter stepped back, and a short time later, the screaming of the coffee machine came from the corner of the bar.

……

"I've heard all of Ye Zhaosang's songs, and they are all quite good tunes. Yoshie Nagano took a sip of coffee and announced the start of the interview as if it were small talk.

"Thank you. ”

"When I was an underground singer, I released the famous song "Summer Color", and the folk flavor is quite strong. Having said that, how did Ye Zhaosang come up with the idea of composing such a song?"

"Well," Ye Zhao smiled, "The summer was really hot at that time, so I thought about making a refreshing summer song, and even discarded the superfluous instrument arrangement, and then came up with such a song." ”

"This time, "WINTER, AGAIN" is a winter-themed song, and it is still a big success, and it seems that you are really good at making songs related to the season. So where did the inspiration come from to make this song?"

"I just wanted to make a song that was completely different from the previous single, because I love winter, and the release date was just in December, so I made a winter song. ”

"I see~" Yoshie Nagano nodded, "Then again, creators often say that there is such a thing as 'inspiration', so when Ye Zhaosang created songs, where did his inspiration come from?"

"For example, if you're talking to Miss Nagano right now, you might suddenly have an inspiration, or maybe you might dream about it while you're sleeping. Since it's 'inspiration', it's an indescribable feeling. ”

Since we will continue to produce a variety of "original works" in the future, it is necessary to find a pretext for our own creation. Sure enough, after hearing this answer, Nagano Yoshie looked at him with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

……

"Speaking of which, after Ye Zhaosang's mainstream debut, where do you think the biggest change came from?"

"Suddenly there are agents and assistants. Ye Zhao smiled, "Just kidding, if you want to say that the biggest change should be a broader horizon." There are so many great musicians in the circle, and there is still a lot to learn. ”

"Speaking of studying, has Ye Zhaosang been studying anything recently?"

"That's a lot of this, not to mention musically, outside of music, I recently went to screenwriting school. ”

"Screenwriting school? This is far from music, does Ye Zhaosang want to cross over?"

"If I say that, when the interview is published, someone will definitely say that I have a low eye. Ye Zhao smiled, "I like movies very much, so I also want to know the specific process of creating a script, if I have the opportunity, maybe I will try 'crossover' as Miss Nagano said, but at this stage, I should be regarded as a pure learner." ”

……

After asking questions about music, Yoshie Nagano symbolically asked a few questions about his personal life, after all, a mysterious musician like him, the outside world is very curious about him.

"What kind of person is Ye Zhaosang in private?"

"The personality is super bad.,If you can't sleep enough in the morning, you'll get angry.,In short,It's a very self-contained person.。 ”

Yoshie Nagano smiled, "But I didn't see the bad part of Ye Zhaosan's personality at all." On the contrary, I think you are a very gentle person. Having said that, what will Ye Zhaosang do when he is resting?"

……

……

The atmosphere of the interview is relaxed and harmonious, Yoshie Nagano is not a reporter who asks tricky questions, and Ye Zhao is not the kind of artist who speaks vaguely, and under the premise of cooperating with each other, the rhythm of the whole interview is very smooth. After about forty minutes, Yoshie Nagano turned off the tape recorder and got up to thank him, "Thank you very much for your cooperation today, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to interview you again in the future." ”

Yoshie Nagano stretched out his right hand, Ye Zhao shook it politely, and quickly let go, "Each other, it's very pleasant to talk to Miss Nagano, it would be great if we could chat like this again in the future." ”
