305. You're still showing off, aren't you?
However, there is one thing, Qing Zhiyuan still satisfied Ma Zhizhun a little.
Because he asked Kazuma Takahashi to contact Ayumi Hamasaki's agency, hoping that she would sing the theme song in "86 - The War Zone That Doesn't Exist".
"Really?" When I heard President Seijiwon's request, even the other party's brokerage company couldn't believe it.
"Are you sure it's Ayumi Hamasaki?" The voice of the person in charge came from the other side of the phone.
And behaved quite surprised.
Not because of anything else, but because Ayumi Hamasaki is not famous at all right now.
And Pokeni is already a very powerful company in the game industry.
There are a lot of voice actors lined up to dub the games of P Society, but how they found themselves, the person in charge didn't figure it out.
In 1994, Ayumi Hamasaki arrived in Tokyo and began working and studying, studying at Horikoshi High School while participating in some low-budget dramas and B-grade films, and using "Rimi Hamasaki" as his stage name, but changed his real name to "Ayumi Hamasaki" in September.
IN 1995, AYUMI HAMASAKI SIGNED WITH COLUMBIA RECORDS IN JAPAN AND RELEASED HIS FIRST MINI-ALBUM OF THE SAME NAME, "NOTHING FROM NOTHING", WHICH WAS QUICKLY ABANDONED BY THE RECORD COMPANY DUE TO A COMPLETE LACK OF PUBLICITY AND POOR SALES.
Ayumi Hamasaki returned to the ranks of B-grade stars and continued to perform in the series;
In the same year, he starred in the movie "Quicksand Phantom Love".
Didn't expect that, right?
When it comes to Ayumi Hamasaki, she basically thinks of her singer image, and Ayumi Hamasaki also influenced a large number of singers later.
However, Sister Step also once relied on [beauty] to eat actors' meals.
In 1996, when Ayumi Hamasaki was singing in a nightclub, he was discovered by a talent scout from Ibex Records, joined the SUN MUSIC studio, and officially became an artist.
In other words, the current Ayumi Hamasaki is far from being able to grow into the future Asian first sister, the emperor superstar, just a small transparent.
Qing Zhiyuan didn't know how Ma Zhijun discovered this artist.
It can only be said that pockmarks are sometimes aesthetically good.
Back then, Ayumi Hamasaki was a smash hit Asian sister, and both in singing and acting on stage was overwhelming and dominant.
Now it's actually just the right time for P to start.
On the one hand, she has been tapped into a new record label, and soon she will release her first solo album and begin to sing professionally.
It's the time of youth.
As for later, Ayumi Hamasaki overturned all the way on the emotional road, and his vocal cords were damaged, he became hoarse, unable to sing high notes, and deaf in both ears...... It can be described as fateful.
……
If a person is close to deafness in both ears and has knee problems, it is inevitable that he will gain weight due to taking medicine during rehabilitation, right?
In this case, Ayumi Hamasaki has never given up the stage, has never given up singing, changed the style of music, and after re-exercising, he still insists on staying on the stage.
Such masochistic efforts have led to serious problems in the body, and if there is a different person, Qing Zhiyuan will definitely feel that it is better to rest, not to work too hard.
But for Ayumi Hamasaki, he had nothing to say.
Ayumi Hamasaki in Qing Zhiyuan's memory of his previous life has a stubborn spirit, and she does her own thing, she has been able to maintain her popularity for so many years, relying on this stubbornness and spirit of not giving in absolutely.
She doesn't succumb to the company forcing out a collection when she's not ready.
Do not succumb to being treated as a commodity by the company
Nor do they succumb to ill-fated fate
Not succumbing to the mercy and sympathy of the outside world for her after learning the truth
As early as the age of 21, when she was interviewed, she once said that the stage was a place for her.
Later, she was 40 years old and sick, but she still did not forget her original intention.
Others may not understand why she is still so successful and so hard, maybe only she understands this feeling of being "uneasy" forever, she always has another self in her heart, secretly examining herself in the crowd.
At the end of "Embarrassment", Xiao Shao said that he didn't understand what Lilizi was obsessed with, but who doesn't want to be at the top forever?
What does human destiny consist of? Is it talent, hard work, or luck? In Lilizi's arrogance, is there really no inferiority complex and fear driven by fate?
For a singer like Ayumi Hamasaki, who regards his career as his life, it is really better to let her stop and retire than to let her die on the stage.
……
In short, the current Ayumi Hamasaki is far from being destroyed, she is still young, just standing at the starting point, her voice, ears, and legs are fine.
It's a good year.
And it belongs to a star that has not risen and is buried in the earth.
At this time, if Qing Zhiyuan doesn't praise it, it will really be a little too much.
At the same time, thanks to Ma Zhi Jun, it reminded him of-
Oh, there is such a person coming.
……
After making an appointment for a time and place to meet, Seichi Yuan took Kazuma Takahashi and musician Yoko Shimomura to meet Ayumi Hamasaki and her agency.
The contract was signed very quickly, because it would have been better for Hamasaki's record company to push her out earlier to make money.
At this time, there is pokeni as the father of the gold owner, and he also provides the stage and songs, which is even more demanding.
After signing the contract, the two parties negotiated a slot.
In fact, the current Ayumi Hamasaki doesn't have any extra work to speak of except for training every day, and it's almost on call.
So, it just so happens that the 86 here of the P company is also going to be released, and the recording of the theme song in the game can be completed in a short time.
……
After 3 days.
In the recording studio, when he heard the theme song of the game "86 - Non-existent War Zone" for the first time, Ayumi Hamasaki was stunned.
Just listen to the moving melody coming from the headphones:
【
The faint light pointed ahead
Silent haze 霞みがちに捉える影
Pursue the hazy figure in the silent mist
86(ハチロク)のリズム掻き乱される
The melody of 86 beats is interrupted stiffly
ぎこちない innocent calm
In order to protect this flawless peace
Close my eyes and figure out the vacancy
Close your eyes and try to understand the emptiness of your heart
I don’t know what I wanted or you made me do
I don't know what my heart wants, and I don't understand what you want me to hope for
散り散りに刻む
Leave a mark on the life that drifts away
……】
Although it was just a sample, it was recorded in advance through her.
But I don't know why, as soon as I heard it, Ayumi Hamasaki's tears fell.
What kind of fairy composition is this?
It's so touching, it's the kind that hits the heart completely.
Isn't it?
Qing Zhiyuan observed from the side.
Sure enough, this time it should be the right choice for Ayumi Hamasaki.
Even Yoko Shimomura expressed her admiration and appreciation for President Ao, who was inexplicably talented in music, although she said that Youth's voice was not very good.
It can't be said to be talent, it's more like a nerve knife, and when inspiration comes, it can give very good tunes.
However, when you usually discuss something with him, this person can't even say what he can say.
Good or bad, he'll just say you're doing a great job.
So far, Yoko Shimomura doesn't quite understand whether the president is talented or not.
However, on the theme song of 86 Avid, this melody hummed by Qing Zhiyuan, and Yoko Shimomura really liked it.
The melody was hummed by Qing Zhiyuan with his mouth, and the lyrics were also written by Qing Zhiyuan himself, but Yoko Shimomura concretized them and arranged them.
Now to Ayumi Hamasaki singing.
As soon as she spoke, Yoko Shimomura knew that this time she was looking for the right person.
Because Ayumi Hamasaki's voice is too steady, and the moving feeling of calling one after another, shouting in despair at the end of the world, is really touching.
I was moved to tears.
Just the sound of standing up to Ayumi Hamasaki, Yoko Shimomura's eyes turned red.
"President, you are really amazing, not only can you create such a tune, but the singer you choose is also so suitable."
"No, no."
Qing Zhiyuan waved his hand.
Where is my power, it's obviously Hiroyuki Sawano.
Just a few of Hiroyuki Sawano's arrangements are god-level works: for example, the soundtrack of the "Mobile Suit Gundam UC" series.
"Medical Dragon", "Mobile Suit Gundam UC", "Guilty Crown", "Attack on Titan", "Blue Exorcist", "The Seraphic Angel of the End", "Cabanelli of Iron City", "Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway of the Flash"
……
Let's put it this way, Hiroyuki Ssawano is almost one of Neon's best post-80s talented composers.
Absolute god-level character.
Especially the music he wrote for 86, Qing Zhiyuan really never gets tired of listening to it, and with the scenes in the game, there is a beauty that hits the heart.
It's a pity that the current Hiroyuki Sawano is estimated to be still in school, otherwise, Qing Zhiyuan would have wanted to invite him over.
"And Yoko Shimomura, you're amazing, I can write the whole tune to this extent by humming it casually, it's so much to my liking."
It's a divine comedy.
……
The theme song of Ayumi Hamasaki was recorded, but the members of the project team were dissatisfied.
Mika Ishino's whole person was a little broken.
"President! Isn't it a bad idea to add the theme song to the game at this time, but the soundtrack has already been completed. ”
Although there is no vocal singing part in 86 now, the overall music and sound effects have been configured, and it has not delayed the fact that the game can be released at all.
However, if such a paragraph is inserted in the middle of the process, what will happen to the work that has been done before?
"It's not too late to join in, right?" Qing Zhiyuan said, "The game has not yet reached the stage of burning, and we have just finalized the release date with the dealers." ”
“……”
Ishino's face puffed out, "That's right, but ...... Is there really no risk in doing this at this time, and what if there is a new bug that crashes the program?
What should I do if the construction period is delayed?
What should I do if I don't get on time?
Do you want to bounce the president? ”
"Skipping tickets or something...... Qing Zhiyuan flinched a little, he didn't expect this guy to be fierce.
Ishino actually has such a tough side, I guess it was honed as a producer during this time, right?
Isn't it, a temporary change in demand is not the first time Qing Zhiyuan has done such a thing.
Everyone was not satisfied with the fact that a new song sung by Ayumi Hamasaki was going to be inserted.
The only one who is particularly happy is Ma Zhi Jun.
This guy was smirking beside him, and he always felt that it was a pity that he couldn't be in the recording studio, and it was amazing to say, he noticed this girl through the movie "Quicksand Fantasy Love".
At that time, I thought she was very beautiful, and I thought that I could be the heroine of "My Robot Girlfriend".
But what I didn't expect was that Ayumi Hamasaki's singing skills were also so powerful.
That's too talented, isn't it?
Jun Ma Zhi himself was a little stunned.
……
"No problem, president."
Just when Qing Zhiyuan felt embarrassed and wanted to block this guy back and let him know how powerful he knew about the president, Ken Akanishi's voice came from the side.
"We're fully supportive of in-game audio changes and inserts, and as long as we have the resources, it's pretty fast, and it can be done in seconds."
Ken Akanishi had a smile like the sun on his face.
Even Mika Ishino was stunned by him.
Good guys, it was so difficult for us to move forward with the program, and you always told everyone to change less, try not to change, and then change when you think about it.
Why is it so flexible when you come to the president here?
Seniors, you don't have a position, right?
Akanishi Ken saw Mika Ishino glaring at him in surprise with big eyes, and turned his head embarrassedly, avoiding the other party's questioning.
"As a program, it is necessary to make changes to the game at any time in line with the needs of planning, so we have already thought of flexible ways to insert and change audio and sound effects at the time of the initial architecture."
Mika Ishino was laughing next to her.
Good fellow, Akasai-senpai, you didn't say that before!
This time, Ken Akanishi, the director of the program department, was extremely calm and very cooperative.
Because he had expected this to happen, the music and main body in all of Pokeni's games were separated, and they were usually imported directly into the game after the post-recording was completed.
The game has its own playback time and trigger method for each of the various audio tracks, and they are all stored under the same directory, neatly stacked in categories.
This kind of demand like Qingzhiyuan is very easy, and you only need to replace the audio resources.
Fortunately, the game has not yet entered the stage of burning to a disc, so there is still time to change it.
How so?
This is probably the instinct trained by Qing Zhiyuan, for Chi Xijian, there are many pits, so he naturally knows how to prepare the planks for paving the road in advance.
"Good Akasai-san, then I'll leave the rest of the work to you, and then Takahashi needs to import the music into the PV, so please pay more attention to it."
Qing Zhiyuan gave him a thumbs up and walked back to his president's office.
Akanishi Ken's approach is the practice of a mature old programmer.,Disassemble the game into configurable parts mode.,What may be changed.,The part that will change frequently is best to go to the configurable mode.。
This guy has finally practiced it.
Qing Zhiyuan expressed great satisfaction with the growth of the members.
……
After Qing Zhiyuan left, Akanishi Ken's younger brothers immediately cheered and gathered around Akanishi Ken.
"Senior Chixi, you are too powerful, wise and martial, you have long expected today, right?"
"It's too powerful, senior Akasai, I will study hard with you in the future."
"Senior Chixi, you are really our role model, you are simply too godly, everything that happened today!
It's all in the hands of the seniors! ”
"That's, otherwise how would you be a pokeni's programmer?"
Mika Ishino laughed angrily at him, good guy, you're still showing off, aren't you?
