Although he began his career as a self-producer, it was the executive producer who decided the release plan, and in the end, both parties took a step back, and Izumi Sakai, who had always opposed the release of the selection, agreed to the so-called "new song + selection".

In exchange, she re-sang all the tracks that were going to be included in this album quite sincerely.

Since the beginning of the Heisei period, a new record has been born in the recording industry every year.

As old records are broken and new ones are created, the bar for record sales is getting higher and higher, and some methods that were rarely used in the past are being used as common methods.

In the same way, the record company's discipline has been lowered again and again, and the thinking has gradually shifted to "as long as you can make money, you can use it", and it is difficult to avoid it as a musician.

Even Ye Zhao himself, in fact, is mentally prepared, and when the contract with being expires and leaves, when dealing with the copyright of the music works released through being in the past three years, if he can't be good, he will be given a selected gift package by Nagato Daiyu.

After all, there are only a few people who can take away their copyrights, and from the past to the next few decades, there are very few who can really do it, and on the contrary, maybe there are more people who have lost the right to use old songs because of the change of owners.

Many big-selling compilations, when tracing back to the source, are only because the record company routinely made a selection after the singer jumped ship, and took the opportunity to make a fortune.

In addition to the fact that the company's compilation, which can make a lot of money, has a very small investment, but the return is very high, probably because of the passers-by who are interested in the singer but don't want to buy the record one by one.

But on the flip side, the significance of the compilation is a little subtle for fans who have supported the singer from the beginning.

In this case, it is very sincere to re-record the songs that have been recorded. And from this incident, you can also see Sakai Izumi's attitude towards music.

At the same time, Ye Zhao has to think of the two compilations released by ZARD in 1999 in the original history. Compared to the current "Summer Planning Anthology", the two albums from 1999 are genuine selections.

Throughout 1999, Zard released a selection of singles, albums, and C/songs, including a ticket to the famous cruise concert.

For passers-by and fans, these two compilations are naturally very valuable, but for fans who have always supported Zard, the two compilations released in the same year are just overdrawing their purchasing power.

A compilation can become a good medicine for popularity, take a singer's fame and sales to the next level, and at the same time, it can also become a poisonous weed that ruins a singer's future plan and hurts the singer's vitality. In the case of Zard, it is clear that the latter component is a bit heavier.

What's worse is that ZARD, which released two compilations, did not have better song resources to retain the hearts of fans, and this year of incomparably brilliant sales performance became a turning point in ZARD's decline.

Sakai Izumi and Being signed a record contract until the turn of the millennium, so if you want to make Zold's career more permanent and stable, 1999 is undoubtedly the most critical year.

Whether it was the butterfly dropping these two Lian Zhuang anthologies, or preparing a good song for her that was enough to heal the wounds caused by the anthology, these things were all things he had to do for her...... Ye Zhao thought silently in his heart.

"What is Ye Jun thinking?" Sakai Izumi's voice called his thoughts back.

Ye Zhao came back to her senses and raised her head, she was standing in front of her, looking at him with a smile on her face.

After the New Year, she cut her long hair a little shorter, which is also interesting, Ye Zhao was completely unaware of her cutting her hair, so she complained a little.

However, it's just a little shorter, and it's not a change of hairstyle, so it's a little embarrassing to notice...... At that time, Ye Zhao was still quietly defending himself in his heart.

Of course, with a strong desire to survive, such words must not be spoken.

"Hmm......" Ye Zhao looked at her, "I'm thinking about something interesting." ”

"Interesting?" Sakai Izumizu was intrigued.

"Yes," Ye Zhao nodded, and put down the headphones in his hand casually, "Sister knows that urban legend, 'Paul McCartney died in a car accident as early as 1966, and the one after that is the replacement', that kind of saying." ”

"I've seen the information about this before, and the conspiracy theorists are well-founded," Sakai Izumi thought for a moment, "but this is fake, right?"

"I think it's fake, because it doesn't make sense. "But, compared to this, what I think of is what the conspiracy theorists say, if you put 'i'mtired' upside down, you can hear the death message left by the Beatles." ”

At this, he paused in his tone. However, Sakai Izumi did not interrupt him, but waited patiently for his next words.

"So, I have an interesting idea," Ye Zhao told her about this idea that was suddenly born during the recording, and maybe it would be called sullen, "that is, put a little information into this song as well...... Not a death message, of course. ”

He subconsciously added the last sentence, even if he didn't say it, what he wanted to express would not be misunderstood.

"Do you want to put it upside down?"

"That's right, that's right," Ye Zhao gave her a thumbs up, "Make a separate soundtrack of the message and mix it upside down." ”

"But, normally, no one would go out of their way to put the song upside down, right?"

"That's interesting," Ye Zhao said with a smile, "It's like burying a time capsule under the big tree in the school." ”

"Of course," Ye Zhao said, "If one day, someone really has a whim, plays this song upside down, and then finds out about it, isn't it also very interesting." I think it would definitely surprise them if they were discovered. ”

I heard the meaning of prank from Ye Jun's words again. Sakai Spring reminded.

"Is there it......" Ye Zhao smiled indifferently, "If there is, there will be it, just think of it as adding condiments to life." Turning the subject back to the subject, "How? Is there any chance that this proposal will come to fruition?"

"So, what kind of message should I put in it?" asked Sakai Izumi.

"Well," Ye Zhao pushed the problem back to her, "It's better for my sister to think about it." 2k reading network
