At 9 a.m., Ye Zi and Wenhui drove to this HMV record store in the M ring. Within a week, this was the second time Ye Zi had set foot here.

The last time Ye Zi came here, he was still cheering for Chen Yichen's new album, but this time it was Ye Zi who held a signing event for the official release of his new album. The last time he came here, Ye Zi didn't pay attention to the decoration of the store at all, but this time, as soon as he came over, Ye Zi saw at first glance a large poster of himself hanging on the glass wall of HMV on the street, which was also an enlarged version of the album cover.

On the poster, Ye Zi was wearing a light gray suit vest and no tie, looking comfortable and relaxed, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, sitting quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking out of the window. Outside the window, there are thousands of blue waves, the clear blue sky is dotted with a few lazy white clouds, and a few seagulls fly lightly between the blue sky and the blue sea, which makes people feel relaxed and happy at a glance.

The environment around Ye Zi's body was in a dark color, and he could only see a rough outline vaguely, and he couldn't see too many details. Judging by the coffee on the small table in front of him and the spread of newspapers, it looks like a café by the sea, but judging by the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, delicate sofas, coffee tables, and faint lighting in the shadows, it looks like a corner of the golden lobby of a hotel.

I want it to be such a hazy effect.

On Ye Zi's face, the makeup artist only used a thin layer of carefully blended light brown foundation, which was extremely close to Ye Zi's natural skin tone, and it was almost impossible to see that the foundation was used. For the wings of the nose, eye sockets, eyebrow line, etc., the makeup artist does not use conventional techniques to simply deal with them, but first uses the eyebrow pencil to outline the outline, and then uses the palmar edge and the two muscle groups of the larger fish to blur the line, the effect is to create a clear facial contour, but natural and not stiff. From the transition of the skin tone from the face to the neck, as well as the harmony between the color of the palm and the complexion, the makeup artist has also considered everything thoughtfully, so that no one can see the slightest flaw.

The hairstylist pushed Ye Zi's hair and sideburns high, the short inch hair was slightly raised on the head ding, and the hair strands were almost erected, which seemed to be completely natural, but in fact, it was carefully designed by the hairstylist, which made people feel extremely spiritual. This hairstyle was not popular in this era, Ye Zi told the hairstylist some hairstyle concepts in later generations, and the hairstylist cut it out little by little with shredded scissors according to Ye Zi's requirements. At the beginning, just for this hairstyle, the hairstylist, the stylist and Ye Zi studied it for a whole afternoon.

However, the effect is still very satisfying.

Makeup, hairstyle, and costumes match the corners of Ye Zi's mouth with a shallow smile and gentle eyes, and the whole picture makes people feel comfortable and relaxed. Coupled with the contrast between light and dark and the transition between colors, such a picture has a laid-back style that is rarely seen in the "busy" Xiangjiang in this era, which complements the style of Ye Zi's entire album, and even subtly enhances the taste of the whole album.

This is inseparable from the overall design of this poster.

On this poster, Ye Zi's position is slightly lower, revealing only half of his face, and the larger space is occupied by the vague dark outline around Ye Zi's body and the scenery outside the window, such a composition has rarely been seen before.

For his first album, Ye Zi did not get too involved in the cover design and poster design except for the insistence on the hairstyle. The difference of more than 20 years makes each other's concepts completely different, and it is extremely difficult to communicate. Ye Zi thinks that the design concept is quite good, but it seems that it is completely unacceptable to be deviant in this era, and similarly, the design of this era is nothing more than making a fuss around the singer's "big head sticker" in Ye Zi's view, which is old-fashioned and ugly, and there is no creativity at all.

But after the first few communications, Ye Zi still chose to compromise.

After all, he has to continue to live in the present era.

However, these professional designers hired by Huaxing have excellent skills, although they can't accept many of Ye Zi's suggestions that seem too whimsical to them, but some of the novel ideas they can accept are finally integrated into a series of designs such as album covers, back covers, inner pages, posters, etc.

For example, in the poster in front of him, the singer Ye Zi is only a part of the overall picture, and only half of the side face is exposed. In Ye Zi's view, this kind of design is only half done, but it is this kind of "only half done" design concept that has never appeared in the Xiangjiang music scene before. Compared with the album poster similar to the "head sticker" of the previous album, Ye Zi's poster is more like a cleverly conceived and beautifully shot photographic work.

It's no wonder that after the first draft of the design came out, all of them, including Tantai Wenhui, Keny and others, finalized the plan as soon as possible.

……

Ye Zi did not follow Wenhui in for the first time, but stood alone on the stormy street with an umbrella, looking up at this enlarged super-large poster that was more than four meters high, unable to divert his gaze for a long time.

This is my album!

This is, my, album!

Standing there with his head tilted up, Ye Zi completely ignored the heavy rain that fell from the sky and drenched his hair and clothes again, and there was only this one sentence left in his mind, echoing back and forth. For a moment, Ye Zi completely forgot where he was, and his heart fluttered and fluttered, passing through the rain falling in the sky, and flying towards the vast sky.

"It's beautiful!" A voice suddenly sighed in Ye Zi's ear: "Xiao Yezi, the first time I saw your album poster and cover, I couldn't wait to throw away my own album poster." ”

"It's so impersonal!"

Chen Yichen was carrying a wet umbrella and squeezed together with Ye Zi, and also looked up at the poster in front of him, and the envy on his face was clearly visible. The rain blew in the wind, and soon drenched the corners of his trousers and shoes, but he didn't feel it at all.

Hearing Chen Yichen's words, Ye Zi let out a long breath, and the whole person finally returned to the real world again.

"Huh? Ethan, you're here, why are you here so early? It's wind and rain again, why don't you rest at home more? Ye Zi said with a smile.

He knew that Chen Yichen had been busy enough recently, and the hot sales of the album had made his invitations to various programs continuous, and he had to be busy until midnight almost every day for a week before he could go home to rest, so he asked such a question.

Chen Yichen glared at Ye Zi very dissatisfied: "Xiao Yezi, if you talk like this, you don't treat me as a brother." Didn't you come early when I signed the booking, and I should have rested at home when it was your turn? ”

"Besides," Chen Yichen looked left and right twice, and his tone immediately changed: "Won't you still be able to help me massage if I come over early?" I've been so tired these days. ”

"How about Xiaoyezi, can you do me this favor?"

Ye Zi laughed, patted Chen Yichen's arm, and said with a smile: "Then what are you waiting for?" Get on in. ”

As he spoke, Ye Zi held an umbrella and pulled up Chen Yichen and walked in the direction of the employee passage.

……

At 9:30, Chen Yichen fell asleep after accepting Ye Zi's "massage", and the gift check had already been delivered to Ye Zi. Last time, Ye Zi gave him 5 8s, and this time Chen Yichen returned Ye Zi a 98888, and the return of gifts is always a little more than that of gifts, this number is very normal. But if you really want to talk about it in detail, compared to Ye Zi's beginning, Chen Yichen's gift is a little heavier. Chen Yichen's album is priced at 99 yuan Hong Kong coins, and the gift money given by Ye Zi is almost equal to more than 880 albums. The price of Ye Zi's album is slightly lower than that of Chen Yichen, only 88 Hong Kong coins, which is equivalent to about 1,100 albums given by Chen Yichen.

However, there is still an exchange of gifts, and no one will suffer from such an exchange.

"Waiting" Chen Yichen, asked the staff of HMV to open another lounge for him to sleep, Ye Zi changed into the formal clothes of the signing - a set of hand-made black dresses, tied a bow tie, and asked the hairstylist to help him take care of his wet hair, and the makeup artist helped him with a little tweaking. After making today's look, he went to the reception room, sat down on a single sofa, picked up his coffee and sipped it softly.

Wenhui sat on the single sofa opposite him, and a cup of steaming freshly ground coffee was also placed on the coffee table in front of him.

In HMV's store, all the decorations were completed last night, and Wen Wenzheng, the assistant who had arrived here a long time ago, and the staff of Wenhui Entertainment were conducting the final inspection. These don't need Ye Zi and Yutai Wenhui to worry more about this, and when the time is almost up, they can go out directly.

At this moment, Ye Zi and Yutai Wenhui can still enjoy the last tranquility for the time being.

There was a soft knock on the door, and then, Sister Mei pulled it open. The door walked in. This time, she was followed by Mrs. Chen, a well-known agent in Hong Kong.

"Sister Mei, you're here."

Ye Zi got up and greeted Sister Mei, and immediately greeted Mrs. Chen.

"Mrs. Chen, why are you here too? Ye Zi is really flattered, please come in. ”

"You're welcome, little one." Mrs. Chen walked into the room, stood in front of Ye Zi, and said with a smile: "Amei praised you as a flower in front of me, and in order to help you, I also deliberately announced the news of your comeback in advance, I will definitely find a chance to take a good look at you, this little guy." Aren't you doing a signing today, the opportunity is just right, so I'm here. ”

"How about the little one, welcome or not?"

Ye Zi's face was a little shocked by Mrs. Chen's words, and Tai Wenhui stood up and greeted with a smile: "Mrs. Chen, Amei, let's sit down and talk again." ”

"Coffee? Or tea? (To be continued.) )
