Chapter 36: Appearance

SMAP, which was formed in 1988 and officially debuted in 1991, is Ye Zhao's predecessor in terms of artistic age, and when he saw them walking towards him, Ye Zhao hurriedly took the initiative to greet him: "SMAP Hello everyone, I'm Ye Zhao." ”

Hearing him introduce himself, Nakaju Masahiro joked: "Thank you for the mercy of your "Rainbow" subordinates and for leaving us a Zhou crown." "The debut single was cut off by Chuck and Asuka, and it wasn't until this year's release of "HEY HEY Thank You for Coming" that SMAP won the weekly championship for the first time, and he didn't take the championship as seriously as the later Jennis idols, so Masahiro Nakaju didn't have any trouble laughing about competing for the weekly championship.

"Where is it, Zhongju-san has a reputation. Ye Zhao said modestly.

"It's not an exaggeration, I've heard both your "Rainbow" and "Summer Color", and it's amazing to be able to write such a song!" Takuya Kimura, who just starred in "White Paper on Love" in 1993, was at the peak of his appearance at this time, and occasionally female staff members passed by here, and they would pay special attention to him.

Iijima Sanzhi handed Ye Zhao a business card, "Hello Ye Zhaosang, I am Iijima, the agent of SMAP, and I will take more care of myself in the circle in the future." "If this is a few years later, as a newcomer, it will be a fantasy to be treated so courteously by Iijima Sanchi. But now, SMAP is still on the rise, and Iijima Sanzhi is far from the iron-fisted agent who later caused the Jennis heir war, and the group has to rely on the energy in the circle if it wants to go to the next level, and Ye Zhao, as a singer-songwriter, is still a singer-songwriter who has just debuted and has two best-selling singles, Iijima Sanzhi naturally hopes to have a good relationship with him - when SMAP is promoted to a national group, it may be Gao Pan to provide them with songs, but now, it is still a win-win situation of 1+1>2.

Ye Zhao took the business card, "I'm here, and I'll ask Sister Iijima and SMAP Sanduoduo to take care of me in the future." ”

Ye Zhao's humble attitude won the favor of Iijima Sanchi, and she couldn't help but say a few more words, "Ye Zhaosang's song is so well written, when will you write a song for our SMAP too?"

"Okay, as long as Sister Iijima can see it. Ye Zhao agreed very happily, even if he doesn't mention things like having a good relationship with SMAP, just providing songs to popular idols is a very cost-effective deal, after all, idols and singers are different, they have a group of fixed die-hard fans, and these die-hard fans greatly guarantee the sales of idols, and Ye Zhao, as a music provider, as long as the lyrics and songs are sent over, once they are adopted, they can wait to count the money.

Just when the conversation was energetic here, with the greetings of "Koizumumi Sanhao~" one after another, a woman with a gentle and beautiful appearance and a graceful figure walked into the backstage accompanied by four staff members. The actress surnamed Koizumi can have this pomp and circumstance, and there is no one else except Koizumi Kyoko.

Kyoko Koizumi debuted in 1982, from the idol boom all the way to the idol ice age, and when many female idols of the same period have disappeared, she has successfully transformed and become a big star in film and television songs. She has been in the arts for 12 years, and she is undoubtedly the senior among the groups of singers who appeared today, even so, her age is only 28 years old.

Seeing the seniors, SMAP hurriedly greeted her: "Koizumizumi-san is good!"

Kyoko Koizumi smiled easily, "Hello, let's cheer for today's performance." "It is worthy of the ancestor who loves to shake the dew, and the sweetness of the voice when he opens his mouth makes people feel like their bones are about to be crispy.

Seeing this, Ye Zhao also hurriedly followed, "Koizumi Sang is good!"

Koizumi looked Ye Zhao up and down, "Hello, you're a newcomer?"

"Yes, my name is Ye Zhao, and I am a newcomer who has just signed a contract with BEING. ”

The smile on Koizumi's face suddenly faded a lot, and her tone was completely different from when she spoke to SMAP, becoming a little formulaic, "Oh, then come on." After speaking, Shi Ran left accompanied by his assistant.

What is the situation? Ye Zhao was a little confused, this eldest sister's face change was too slippery, right? Ye Zhao glanced at SMAP and Iijima Sanzhi around him in confusion, SMAP everyone was also a little confused, Iijima Sanzhi's expression was a little intriguing, obviously knowing something but not easy to say it directly.

"Sister Iijima?" Ye Zhao called tentatively.

Iijima Sanchi said perfunctorily, "SMAP has a dress rehearsal next, so let's go first." After thinking about it, he still mentioned vaguely, "Ye Zhaosang, don't look at the entertainment industry as a big circle, there are also many small circles in the big circle." ”

There are also many small circles in the big circle? In other words, the camps to which Ye Zhao and Koizumi belong are different. Ye Zhao nodded thoughtfully, turned around to find the assistant Aragaki Akihiko, and asked, "Brother Akihiko, which office is Koizumi from?"

"Koizumi-san, she's the head of the BUNING headquarters. Akihiko Aragaki said, "Have you met her, don't worry if her attitude is not good, our company and BRUNING, that ...... Not very coping. ”

NOT VERY GOOD WITH BRUNING...... Ye Zhao suddenly felt a little headache, there is such a big enemy in such a small production company as BEING? Regarding BRUNING, Ye Zhao's most direct impression comes from an article about RB Entertainment Studio that he has read in later generations, in which the author proposed the concept of "one super and four strong", and the "one super" refers to BRUNING.

Founded by Zhou Fang Yuxiong, although it is nominally only a medium-sized office, the most important thing about him is that more than half of the small offices in the entire entertainment industry are related to him, either by his support, or simply by his subsidiaries. Moreover, the founder of BRUNING, Zhou Fang Yuxiong, who eats both black and white, backed by RB Black, has a strong style and vicious methods, and it is not too much to say that he is a capable hooligan.

Such a big man in the industry, what did BEING do to offend people......

7:50 p.m., "MUSIC STATION" soundstage.

There were still ten minutes before the official start of the broadcast, and the host Tamori and assistant host Ikushima Hiroshi walked into the studio, and the staff outside the venue handed over two microphones, "Tamori San, Ikushima-san, please try the microphone." ”

Speaking of MS hosts, from 1987 to 2017, Tamori was as immobile as a mountain in this show, but the female hosts standing next to him changed nine times one after another, so some people ridiculed this show as "the iron Tamori, the female host of flowing water", having said that, in the first few years of the show, it was not the female host of flowing water who stood next to Tamori, but this man named Ikushima Hiroshi, with a flat head and bulky glasses frames.

"The microphone is fine. Tamori made an OK gesture.

"There are nine minutes left in the live stream, so be prepared. After speaking, the staff hurriedly ran off the stage, and in the huge studio, there was a sudden silence, only the sound of the staff shouting a countdown every minute.

Backstage, the participating singers have already changed into their costumes and are waiting there. SMAP, who was dressed in casual clothes during the rehearsal, had changed into bells and whistles at this time, like the costumes of circus artists, and this ostentatious dress style is said to be the tradition of Denis; the members of DEEN wore neat black suits, and BEING's packaging of its singers has always been simple; the complete opposite of DEEN was that he was dressed wild and uninhibited, and he knew at a glance that he was LINDBERG who sang rock 'n' roll; Kyoko Koizumi changed into a black cut-out printed long dress, and her long and silky hair was draped over her shoulders, while NOKKO was wearing a white dress, and the two women were black and white, although they stood on the same side of the backstage, their aura was different。

As for Ye Zhao, he is wearing a white casual shirt today, with Levi's brand blue jeans, looking like a college student who has just come over directly after class, and Makihara Keiyuki, who is wearing a tweed jacket, chats with him without a match, perhaps because of the same creative male SOLO, Makihara Keiyuki showed great kindness to Ye Zhao when they first met.

"Guys, the show will start right away. The staff came over to inform.

……

In the studio, the staff made the final countdown with gestures: ...... Three, two, one!

At the same time as the gesture of one fell, the music sounded.

"Good evening, I'm Tamoli. ”

"GOOD EVENING, I'M HIROSHI IKUSHIMA. September is about to pass.,Schools around the world are almost ready for the school festival.,These groups of singers who appeared today,It is said that their songs are very popular in the school.,Covered by many campus bands.,So let's invite these groups of singers to appear!"

As Ikushima Hiroshi's voice fell, several cameras that had been focused on the middle of the stage quickly dispersed and roamed the stairs and auditoriums where the singer had staged.

LINDBERG WAS THE FIRST TO APPEAR, FOLLOWED BY SMAP, FOLLOWED BY DEEN AND TAKIYUKI MAKIHARA, NOKKO AND KYOKO KOIZUMI WERE PLACED LAST, AND YE AKIRA WAS PLACED IN THE THIRD-TO-LAST POSITION.

WALKING DOWN THE STAIRS SLOWLY, HIROSHI IKYU INTRODUCED: "THE NEXT SINGER TO APPEAR IS YE ZHAO, AS THE MOST MYSTERIOUS AND HIGH-PROFILE SINGER IN THE WHOLE RB AT THE MOMENT, TODAY IS HIS FIRST TV APPEARANCE, WELCOME!"

MS's audience has always been conscientious in welcoming singers, and as long as the singers stand on the steps, they can always let out a deafening scream at the first time when the host announces their names, and their level of dedication is comparable to that of a fake crying audience in a sensational show. When Ye Zhao appeared, whether it was his meal or not, the audience gave cheers and applause that were not lost to any singer on the stage.

Walking down the stairs and standing still in front of the stage, the lights of the audience gathered and fell on Ye Zhao.

This feeling of being in the spotlight was first experienced at the championship press conference of the DOCOMO draft, when he was only a minor supporting actor in the middle of the stage, and now, although it is still not his home turf, he is finally no longer just an unknown small character.
