Chapter 200: Fruitful Harvest
"For example, I love fishing, but I don't have to be disturbed, so I set off as soon as I think about it, and then I stay by the beach for a week and go fishing by boat when the weather is nice. It's not the luxury of fishing, it's the fact that you can set off as soon as you think about it. ”
"The streets of Tokyo are very narrow, so you can't do a flick of the car without dragging your back. But it's something you can't do, so you find it tempting. ”
Okuda gave two examples in quick succession, using his favorite fishing and cars.
"I think I probably understand...... These things that even Mr. Okuda can't do as he pleases, and there is probably no way for the general public to accomplish them. So, it's going to be such a laid-back combination, right? At least on the surface, it's laid-back. Ye Zhao said.
Tadao Okazaki, who was the matchmaker for the meeting between the two, sat quietly drinking black tea and did not intervene at all. It's not so much that it's not about themselves, but rather waiting for the final outcome of the discussion between the two.
"Since Komuro has taken electronic music to the extreme, there is no point in picking up people's teeth. Then, when it comes to the Komuro family, they are all beautiful beauties, and they are very good at dancing, and their figures are also first-class. As for the female idols, they are really bouncing, gorgeous or cute costumes, and reserved words and deeds, right? I think that everyone else has already done those things anyway, so it would be better to do something that no one else has ever done. ”
"Not dancing, not foreign, not cute, not gorgeous?" Ye Zhao laughed, "It sounds really inferior." It feels like you're going to bring fried natto to a French table. ”
"But, it's interesting, isn't it?" Okuda Minsheng looked quite confident.
FFY is a bit of a quirky group, but it's really interesting, and the "abnormal" part of them is the most attractive part of them. If you're tired of watching the bouncing love dew and listening to electronic music with some noisy side effects, why don't you try this special fried natto?
Moreover, fried natto, a popular food, has one of the biggest advantages, and everyone can do it. There are two kinds of national idols, one is admired and worshipped as a person on the clouds, and the other is imitated by the trend.
In the case of having the same goal, Ye Zhao and Okuda Minsheng's discussion went smoothly, as if they had skewered their lines in advance, which made Okuda Minsheng feel like a confidant.
In fact, as a purely orthodox musician, Okuda Minsheng is a little unaccustomed to a guy like Ye Zhao who likes to toss around blindly to some extent, but for the sake of him who has basically nothing to do so far, Okuda Minsheng still maintains enough politeness when he is ready to come over to meet him.
But after chatting like this and having a friendly discussion for the same goal, he was originally unaccustomed to Ye Zhao's point in his heart, and he almost dissipated.
It's not that Ye Zhao has any pig's feet of the king's spirit, and the shock of the tiger's body makes Okutian Minsheng happy and convinced, mainly because Okuda Minsheng has been chatting with him for so long, and he doesn't feel the feeling of eagerness to chase fame and fortune in him at all, but only feels a kind of "That thing seems to be very fun, why don't we try it".
It is precisely because of this casualness that the original inherent impression of "doing things around in the entertainment industry = not doing business" in Okuda Minsheng's heart has been diluted a lot, and even has a feeling of "the reason why this guy likes to toss so much is that he actually likes to play, right?"
Playing this kind of thing, everyone has their own way of playing. Thinking about it this way, Okuda Minsheng, who was originally a little unaccustomed to Ye Zhao, even likes him a little bit now.
Ye Zhao didn't know that while chatting like this, Aotian Minsheng's inner activities never stopped, and his evaluation of him made a super turn.
If you want to talk about chasing fame and fortune, Ye Zhao feels that of course he is a person who wants to chase fame and fortune. Otherwise, he would not have entered the entertainment world, and even if he likes things behind the scenes, he still chooses to stand directly in front of the stage.
But if you want to ask him about his ultimate goal of an ideal life, after standing at the top of his career, he will buy a mountain in Kyoto, or live on a small island, build a house there, build a recording studio, and live a semi-secluded life.
When he has a job, he does it directly at home, and when he doesn't have a job, he invites his friends to his private property to meet and cook for them with his wife. On a whim, I packed up my things and stayed for a while regardless of where I was, or I only brought a guitar with my family, and the whole family drove all the way to a concert with only one guitar while traveling.
For him, it is very simple to get fame and fortune, at least much simpler than ordinary people. Therefore, when he does something new, in addition to weighing the pros and cons, he will also use "whether it is interesting or not" as a criterion for whether it can be achieved. From this point of view, he is indeed doing a lot of things with a "seems to be fun" mentality.
However, it is difficult to get enough fame and fortune to make him "forget fame and fortune", and it cannot be achieved immediately. That's why he kept tossing and rolling in this vanity fair.
It may sound contradictory, but human nature is what it is. Although the word "human nature" is also slightly exaggerated here.
And this mentality of "it seems to be fun" has also appeared in the current discussion.
When Okuda Minsheng mentioned the clothing style of Ami Ohun and Yumi Yoshimura, Ye Zhao suddenly had a bad taste and said: "Although they are all T-shirts and denim, it's also fun to play a little tricks, such as couple clothes and the like." ”
"Eh~" Okutian Minsheng's eyes looked at him a little subtlely, "It turns out that Ye Jun likes this." ”
"Don't worry about that kind of detail, Mr. Okuda. Ye Zhao laughed silently.
As for the name of this duo, Ye Zhao blurted out the name without hesitation: "Puffy, how about this name?"
"Puffy, that's pretty catchy. Tadao Okazaki repeated. "Is there any special significance, though?"
Ye Zhao shook his head, "It doesn't have any special significance, I just think it's very interesting." ”
"In my opinion," Okuda Minsheng smiled, "It's Ye Jun himself who is more interesting." ”
Whether it was a compliment or not, in short, Ye Zhao accepted Aotian Minsheng's words as a compliment very calmly.
When it was time to separate, Ye Zhao made a slight reluctant request, "That, Mr. Okuda, can you sign for me?"
"Absolutely. Okuda Minsheng agreed, "However, where do you want to sign?"
I knew that I was going to come to see Okutian Minsheng, Ye Zhao was naturally prepared, "The autograph book is at the agent's place, please wait a minute......"
"No," Okuda said, "there is no point in signing books. I've got a guitar in the studio here, and if I don't like it, I'll sign it and give it to you, right? ”
"It's a real honor. Ye Zhao owed himself and sincerely thanked him.
"In addition to giving you the guitar, we also stopped by the studio to meet the two girls and listen to their auditions. Didn't Ye Jun prepare a debut song for them? "Okuda Minsheng arranged everything very well.
In the recording studio, seeing Ye Zhao, Okuda Minsheng, and Tadao Okazaki who came over together, the expressions of Ami Okuni and Yumi Yoshimura were not so much surprised as uneasy. But in the midst of the uneasiness, there is still a little excitement hidden.
The two of them naturally heard of Kawamoto Makoto's momentum, and thinking of the bet that Ye Zhao and Tadao Okazaki once played, they could also guess the meaning of the three of them.
"Now I have good news for you. Tadao Okazaki announced, "The two will be produced by Ye Zhaosang and will debut as a double girl group, the group's name is Puffy, and the official debut date is scheduled for the first half of next year." ”
In the case of having done a good job of psychological construction in advance, the two of them were not so excited that they were "discolored" when they heard the news, but they still had the emotions they should have when they heard the news of their upcoming debut. Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura shook each other's hands as if they were confirmed, and then bowed to the three of them: "Thank you!
Ye Zhao also returned the salute to the two of them, "In the future, we will work together for a while, and please give me more advice." ”
Okuda Minsheng urged from the side, "Quickly take out the tune." ”
Ye Zhao took out the sample of "The Innocence of Asia" that he brought with him, and did not forget to say in advance: "Although it is a bit rude, this song was actually written by me in imitation of Mr. Okuda's style. ”
"Really?" this is a high level of flattery, and Okuda Minsheng is a little embarrassed.
Tadao Okazaki said with a smile: "Ye Jun is really a big fan of Mr. Okuda." ”
Ye Zhao smiled, put the sample into the CD player, and pressed the play button. The sample was sung by himself, and when he heard "put all the white pandas side by side", Ami Onukun and Yumi Yoshimura subconsciously glanced at each other, revealing an expression of "you know" that only the other party understands. It seems that the "panda terrier" between Ye Zhao and the two of them has been deeply rooted in the hearts of these two people.
It is almost conceivable that when these two people were asked in the interview why they became a group, Yumi Yoshimura replied with a ruffian smile: "Because Ye Zhaosang is a panda controller, and the two of us happen to like pandas very much".
After listening to this song, Okuda Minsheng first smiled and said: "The lyrics are really casual." White panda or something...... For the sake of rhyme. Then he added, "The song is very good." ”
Anyway, that thing is already done, and it is not interesting to pretend to be reserved, Ye Zhao smiled and accepted Aotian Minsheng's evaluation.
While they were discussing Puffy's debut song, Okuda Minsheng's agent also brought over the guitar he had deposited in the studio here, which was a silver-gray Gibson electric guitar with a "I'm expensive" temperament.
"This ...... It's really too valuable. Ye Zhao was a little frightened. After all, the two had only met for the first time.
Okuda Minsheng didn't care, took the pen handed by his agent and wrote down his name, dried it a little, and handed it over, "However, although it is a signed guitar, please take it out and play it occasionally, so as not to be too lonely." ”
"Yes, don't worry, I'll take good care of it. Ye Zhao took it with both hands. I have already begun to think about what kind of things I should give back in the future, and I can thank Okuda Minsheng politely and with all my heart.
Having said that, the instruments he owns now, except for the Yamaha left over from his predecessor in the beginning, were all given by others. Nagato Daiyuki gave him a Martin, Riku Watanabe gave him a Fenderbes, and Minsheng Okuda now gave him another Gibson. …… It's really rewarding.
Puffy's debut became a foregone conclusion, although Okuda Minsheng failed to become the producer of these two girls as he wished, but because of the same goal as Ye Zhao, he was quite keen to join the team that gave advice to Puffy, of course, in addition, he began the process of looking for new people.
In the process of contacting Okutian Minsheng, Ye Zhao also successfully exchanged contact information with Okuda Minsheng. Although this doesn't mean anything, for fans, it's still worth being happy to get the contact information of their idols.
However, while I was happy that everything was going well on this side, on the other side, a little trouble also arose at the right time. In other words, it is a seed that has been planted for a long time and has not grown until now.
Ye Zhao officially signed a contract with being in August last year and became their singer. As of now, the three-year contract period has just passed a little over a year.
Because he only signed a record contract, being can rarely interfere with his other things, correspondingly, because it is not a strong lineage, the records he releases are also slightly lower in terms of tie-up treatment. Although there are, those top tie-ups still have to let the sons and daughters come first.
It doesn't matter, since you decided to break away from the brokerage contract, you have to be prepared for it.
In the past year or so, he first launched Kawamoto Makoto with Sony, and Nagato Daiyuki naturally knew about it, but he just turned a blind eye. Anyway, Kawamoto Makoto's style is incompatible with being, and Nagato Daiyuki doesn't think she can really become popular.
However, as Kawamoto Makoto began to become popular, Nagato Daiyuki looked at the rising record sales, and felt a little bit unpleasant in his heart for such a good seedling, why did he bypass being and sign to Sony?
But this is not a taste, at most it is just a little dissatisfied, and the fuse that really led to the outbreak of Nagato Daiyuki was actually the newcomer Aikawa Nanase launched by Tetsuro Oda and Ai Hui. 2k reading web
