When Zhou Yan took Fumio Otsubo to the studio, he happened to meet Shizuka Kudo who came out of the recording studio.

"Zhou Yan, you're back." Shizuka Kudo happily greeted Zhou Yan.

Seeing Shizuka Kudo, Fumio Otsubo was stunned for a moment, although he usually pays little attention to the entertainment industry, but Shizuka Kudo has been too popular in neon in recent years, so he also knows Shizuka Kudo.

"This is, Ms. Kudo?"

Hearing Fumio Otsubo say neon language, Shizuka Kudo was also a little surprised, "Are you a neon person?" ”

Shizuka Kudo's sentence was said in Chinese, so Fumio Otsubo couldn't understand it at all, and it was Fumio Otsuba's accompanying translator who translated this sentence into neon before Fumio Otsubo understood it.

"Miss Kudo, hello, I'm Fumio Otsubo of Matsushita Electric." Fumio Otsubo introduced himself.

Although Shizuka Kudo didn't understand why the people from Matsushita Electric were here, she still responded with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Fumio Otsubo. ”

This time she was in neon.

After greeting Fumio Otsubo, Shizuka Kudo said to Zhou Yan in Chinese, "I'm going to record "The First Dream" in the afternoon, can you go and watch it?" ”

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "I'll take a look later." ”

Hearing that Zhou Yan would go to see it, Shizuka Kudo was very happy, "Then I'll wait for you." ”

With that, she nodded to Fumio Otsubo again, and then left.

Looking at the back of Shizuka Kudo's departure, Fumio Otsubo's eyes were full of surprise.

He wasn't surprised that Shizuka Kudo would appear here, after all, he had also studied Zhou Yan's resume and knew that Shizuka Kudo had covered songs written by Zhou Yan.

What surprised him was that Shizuka Kudo spoke Chinese so well that he was able to communicate with Zhou Yan normally.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Miss Kudo's Chinese is really good." ”

"I've really made a lot of progress lately." Zhou Yan smiled, and then invited Fumio Otsubo to his office.

After arriving at the office, Zhou Yan found a CD from the cabinet, "I have recorded a total of two versions of this song, both of which are in this CD." ”

Zhou Yan's office has a set of speakers, which he spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy before, which is not top-notch, but it is enough, and when he usually works here, he will put on some music.

Sometimes Yu Hua and they come over, and they will listen to music along with them, although Yu Hua has been clamoring to buy a better set of speakers, but in the end he is still reluctant to pay, after all, it is really not cheap.

Although Yu Hua's economic conditions are much better now, tens of thousands of yuan of things are not just bought when they are bought.

In fact, you can get a set of almost one for thousands or even hundreds, but Yu Hua's ears were nourished by Zhou Yan, and he couldn't get used to listening to those speakers with bad sound quality.

Now he even thinks that Zhou Yan's set of tens of thousands of yuan speakers is not good enough.

After pressing the play button, while the music had not yet sounded, Zhou Yan briefly introduced, "The first version is the piano and cello, which may sound a little softer." ”

As soon as the accompanying translator translated this sentence to Fumio Otsubo, the sound of the piano came out of the speakers, and several people began to listen carefully to the music.

As Zhou Yan said, this version of "Yellow" is indeed softer, and the piano and cello complement each other and are very elegant.

Listening to this version, Fumio Otsubo couldn't associate this song with rock at all, which was completely different from what he understood to be rock.

But he doesn't care if it's rock or not, as long as it's good, no matter what kind of music genre it is, it doesn't make a difference to them.

And this song is very audible, and Fumio Otsubo feels that it is even more catchy than "The Street Where the Wind Lives", and it is the kind of song that you will feel very good when you listen to it for the first time.

This is also something that Fumio Otsubo attaches great importance to, as an advertising song, it needs to attract the audience in a short time, preferably the first time.

When he finished listening to the song, Fumio Otsubo couldn't help nodding, he was very satisfied with this song, and Zhou Yan's level was really beyond doubt.

He couldn't help but applaud, but he stopped after just two drums because the second version had already started.

As soon as this version sounded, Fumio Otsubo's eyes lit up.

It's the same song, but the feeling is very different.

No, it can't be said to be exactly the same tune, because there is a clear difference in the first stanza.

This version uses only one instrument, the acoustic guitar, and the strumming of the first section is more ear-catching than the first version.

And this version also made Fumio Otsubo feel the rock style, but unlike those more restless rock tunes, this song sounded fresher.

Compared to the first version, this version is a little less elegant, but more positive, with a strumming guitar and a stronger sense of rhythm.

Fumio Otsubo couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yan, no wonder so many neon fans love Zhou Yan so much, with such talent, how many people can not love it?

Zhou Yan's tunes are really appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, not only the kind of very elegant and difficult tunes, but also some seemingly simple but hidden mysteries.

The most important thing is that the audience bought Zhou Yan's tunes.

After the second version was played, Fumio Otsubo applauded again, this time even harder, and the applause was full of excitement.

If it was just a choice to invite Zhou Yan to serve as their global image spokesperson for Panasonic, then now Fumio Otsubo feels that this time it must be Zhou Yan.

He couldn't accept that he had passed by such a good tune.

Shiseido's success story is just around the corner, and they are desperate to have an advertising song that will be accepted by the masses.

Zhou Yan got up and took out the CD, and then asked, "Mr. Fumio Otsubo, how do you feel?" ”

Fumio Otsubo said excitedly, "Very good, both versions are very good. ”

"If your company is interested, you can consider this song as your advertising song."

"Of course we have intentions, Mr. Zhou Yan, please put forward conditions, and we will try our best to meet them."

Zhou Yan was a little skeptical about Fumio Otsubi's words, after all, Fumio Otsubo was only the minister of the TV Department, could he do this?

However, Zhou Yan did not express his doubts, but said with a smile, "For specific details, you should talk to Zhang Youan, he can represent me with full authority." ”

Fumio Otsubo nodded and said, "I understand, we will talk to Mr. Zhang Youan in detail." Please rest assured that we are very sincere in this cooperation, and the conditions given will definitely be higher than those of Shiseido. ”

Zhou Yan did not go into further depth on this topic, but asked about Fumio Daping's itinerary, "How long will Mr. Daping stay in Yanjing?" ”

"There are other things on Yanjing's side, and it will take about a week to finish it."

"Mr. Daping is not very familiar with Yanjing, if you need any help, you can tell us. When you have nothing to do, you can also come and sit in my studio, you are always welcome here. ”

"Thank you very much." Fumio Otsubo nodded gratefully, and then asked Shizuka Kudo, "Miss Kudo has been here for a while?" ”

"Well, she's recording a new album over here, and she's been here lately."

Fumio Otsubo said unexpectedly, "Why did Miss Kudo's new album be recorded here?" ”

"Because she's recording a Chinese album."

Hearing this, Fumio Otsubo suddenly understood, no wonder Shizuka Kudo's Chinese level was so good, it turned out that he was going to record Chinese album.

It seems that this time Shizuka Kudo recorded a Chinese album, and Zhou Yan also participated.

"Miss Kudo, this is going to enter the Chinese market?"

"Naturally, I have such an idea to record a Chinese album."

"I believe that with the help of Mr. Zhou Yan, Miss Kudo's development in China will definitely be very smooth."

"My help is insignificant, and ultimately it's up to her."

"Of course, Ms. Kudo herself is also very good."

……

Fumio Oping didn't stay in the studio for too long, and after chatting with Zhou Yan for more than half an hour, he got up and said goodbye, he was still quite busy in Yanjing this time.

After Fumio Otsubo left, Zhou Yan went to the recording studio to watch Shizuka Kudo record "The First Dream".

"The First Dream" was originally the last song, and after the recording of this song, the recording of this new album is over, but because "Little Hands Holding Big Hands" was temporarily added, "Little Hands Holding Big Hands" will be recorded again after this song is recorded.

Zhou Yan stayed in the recording studio for a long time this time, and during the recording process, he would raise some problems with them.

However, without waiting for Shizuka Kudo to finish recording, Zhou Yan left early.

At dinner in the evening, the two met in the cafeteria, and Shizuka Kudo was eating with a bowl of mixed sauce noodles.

Because Shizuka Kudo likes to eat mixed sauce noodles, now there are mixed sauce noodles in the cafeteria basically every day, and this girl can't get tired of eating them, as long as the canteen has them, she will definitely eat them.

If Nangong Matsuko is next to her, she will probably remind Shizuka Kudo not to eat too much, they have strict body management, and Shizuka Kudo has indeed grown some meat recently.

After Zhou Yan finished eating, he sat down in front of Nangong Songzi, saw that she was eating very fragrantly, and also smiled: "If you like to eat, eat more." ”

Shizuka Kudo wiped her mouth, shook her head and said, "After eating a bowl, Matsuko will say that I will eat too much, she will be angry." ”

She pinched her arm again, "I've been growing flesh lately." ”

"It's good to have some meat."

"Too fat to be photogenic." She muttered.

"You're only over eighty pounds, and you have nothing to do with fat."

Shizuka Kudo smiled and looked at Zhou Yan's plate again, "You are also very thin, but you eat so much." ”

Zhou Yan's appetite is indeed very large, when he was one hundred and thirty pounds before, he was quite able to eat, but now his weight has increased to one hundred and fifty pounds, and his appetite has also increased a lot.

He now guarantees a certain amount of anaerobic exercise every week, and if he has time, he even goes to play health ball with Yu Hua and them.

However, his calorie consumption does not depend on these, but on high-intensity work, some seemingly low-intensity movements, in fact, quite energy-consuming, such as playing the piano, if you encounter a difficult tune, after an hour, people will be very tired.

The reason why Shizuka Kudo said that Zhou Yan was thin was because his body fat was not high, and now it remains at about 15% all year round.

"Recently, I've been storing energy, so I'm eating more." Zhou Yan explained, and then began to cook seriously.

Shizuka Kudo had finished eating, holding her chin and looking at him quietly, and after a while, she said, "Your new movie, how are you preparing?" ”

"Casting." Zhou Yan replied casually.

"When, will it turn on?"

"It's probably going to be next spring."

"When you were a director, it should have been very different."

"Nothing different."

Kudo Shizuka was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm leaving in a few days, can you take me to Yanjing for a walk?" ”

Zhou Yan was a little hesitant, he probably didn't have time to take Shizuka Kudo out recently.

Seeing Zhou Yan's hesitation, Shizuka Kudo said again, "Wherever you go, you can do it, I've always been there, the hotel, the studio, I haven't been out." ”

Looking at Shizuka Kudo's pitiful appearance, Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "Why don't I take you out for a walk in a while, do you have time tonight?" ”

"Yes." Kudo said very simply, and then asked, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

"Where do you want to go?"

"Do you have an izakaya here?"

"Hardly, you can go to a bar if you want to drink."

There are not many bars in Yanjing now, and the bar culture on the Shichahai side has not yet been formed, and most of the bars are still in Sanlitun.

"Is there a good bar?"

"I don't go to pubs very often, but if you want to, I can ask."

"Hmm."

……

After eating, Zhou Yan went to find a few people from the band at No. 43 Baojia Street, and they recommended a few bars for Zhou Yan, and finally Zhou Yan chose Yunsheng Bar, because Wang Feng said that his audio equipment was very good, which was more in line with Zhou Yan's requirements.

Zhou Yan and Shizuka Kudo arrived at the bar at seven o'clock, and there were not many people in the bar at this time, but the music had been put on, all of which were rock songs, among which Cui Jian and Black Panther were the majority.

As for the sound equipment in the bar, it can only be said that it is okay.

Zhou Yan rarely goes to bars, so he doesn't know much about the audio equipment of general bars. If you want to compare it with the audio equipment that Zhou Yan usually comes into contact with, then the bar is definitely not up to par.

The two ordered some beers and sat down.

There are quite a few foreigners in the bar.

The bars here in Sanlitun were for foreign guests at the earliest, so it is normal for foreigners to appear here.

The environment of the bar is a little noisy, but Shizuka Kudo is very relaxed at the moment, she sits lazily on the sofa chair of the booth, looking at the stage not far away, "Today, here, will there be a performance?" ”

"I guess so."

Normally, such a bar has a show every day.

"This bar, it seems, is a rock 'n' roll theme."

"Possibly."

Whether it's a rock bar or not, Zhou Yan is not sure, most of the bars now play rock songs.

In places like bars, rock and roll is more popular, especially in the current Chinese music environment, which is also more popular.

"Wang Feng, will they come to the bar to perform?"

"Yes, but very little."

Wang Feng: They have some commercial performances in contact with the company, so the bar is basically rarely visited.
