Chapter 24 Big Black Senior

The contract was in duplicate, and BEING had already stamped the official seal. Just waited for Ye Zhao to sign and press the fingerprint, the contract officially took effect. After signing his name on the contract, Ye Zhao thought nonsense, was he considered to have become BEING's male SOLO first when he first came?

After putting away the contract, Ye Zhao asked: "What do I want to do next?"

"Your Summer Color is in good momentum now, right?" Nagato's Oyuki's words seemed a little irrelevant.

Ye Zhao nodded, "I heard from Apollo that he had printed another 200,000 copies."

"It's really not easy to be an underground single." Nagato Yoshiki paused, "But in my judgment, the potential of this song is far more than that. Now it's just the beginning of the hottest. If you make your debut immediately, it will definitely affect the sales of your single. After all, in the hearts of ordinary people, there is still the idea that regular singles are better than underground singles."

"What does President Nagato mean?"

"I heard that you have not received any formal voice training when you perform in a single." Seeing Ye Zhao nodding, Nagato Daiyuki continued: "With your current singing skills, you are fine in the recording studio, but you must sing on the spot for your official debut. You can't perform too badly at that time. And if you can't learn the correct voice method, it will accelerate your voice degeneration. What I mean is to arrange for you for about a month first. During this period, you can learn while preparing the next single song. When the popularity of "Summer Color" reaches its peak, we will take advantage of the opportunity to push you out."

This proposal was reasonable, so Ye Zhao accepted it happily. After his assistant sent the pass to and from the company, Ye Zhao offered to say goodbye. Daiyuki Nakato personally sent him to the elevator entrance and gave him a courtesy that was absolutely flattered for the newcomer.

...

Although as a musician, you don’t have to go to work like an ordinary office worker, as a student who wants to attend vocal classes, Ye Zhao must go to BEING to report at 9 o’clock every day to complete the vocal class one and a half hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. The distance from Ikebukuro to Roppongi is far away, and every morning, squeezed into a sardine-like carriage. Thinking of him as he has become a contracted singer, he still feels unreal.

When he arrived at the company, he asked the specific floor of the vocal classroom from the front desk, and Ye Zhao walked towards the elevator entrance. At this time, a woman wearing sunglasses and simple black short-sleeved and blue jeans entered the elevator first. The elevator door was halfway closed and opened slowly. It should be the woman who pressed the door button.

Ye Zhao walked into the elevator and politely thanked the woman: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The woman had taken off her sunglasses at this time. Her face was not beautiful. Instead of describing it like a heroic and handsome girl. Coupled with her familiar cheerful voice, a name appeared in Ye Zhao's mind.

Among the theme songs provided by BEING for Slam Dunk, in addition to the most famous "Four pounds of soybeans and three belts", there are "Until the End of the World" and "Only Staring at You". As a fan of Slam Dunk, Ye Zhao is familiar with these songs, and even who is the singer is very clear, so he can see at a glance that the person in front of him is-

"Big Black...Moji?" Ye Zhao blurted out subconsciously, and even forgot to add the "Sakura" behind him.

Fortunately, Dahei Moji was free and easy by nature and did not care about his impoliteness. Instead, he greeted him friendly: "Hello, I am Dahei Moji. Are you a newly signed newbie?"

Ye Zhao quickly introduced himself: "My name is Ye Zhao, I just joined the company yesterday."

"Ye Zhao? Is the underground singer who released "Summer Color"?" Daguro Moji smiled, "Your single is quite sensational in the industry. I didn't expect that our company would find a treasure."

"But then again, how did Sister Da Hei know that I am a newcomer or not a staff member?"

"It's all right," Daguro Moji teased and didn't care about Ye Zhao calling her sister, "Because you are handsome, President Nagato is famous for his debut as a person who likes to discover good-looking people."

When it comes to BEING's singers' appearance, they can be said to be the top part of the art world. Nagato Daiyuki used the set of packaging idols to package singers and launched "rock idol singers". The first factor that can debut under Nagato Daiyuki's hands is that they must have a high appearance. Otherwise, no matter how talented you are and how good your singing skills are, you have to wait in the back.

Just talking about the Dakuro Moji in front of her, she had a very high degree of completion when she joined BEING, and she was invincible in singing. She was one of the few singers in the company who could not rely on Oda Tetsuro. But even so, Nagato Yasuki still refused to let her debut for a long time, and only let her take on Kazuno. Although there is a saying that Dakuro Moji's personality is too strong and difficult to grasp, the trail has always been said that Nagato Yasuki thinks she is not beautiful enough.

However, in Ye Zhao's opinion, this elder sister's appearance is above average. Although it is incomparable to beauties like Sakai Izumizu, she is more than enough as a singer.

The elevator stopped on the sixth floor, and Ye Zhao and Daguro Moji walked out together, but one went to the vocal classroom and the other went to the rehearsal room next to it.

When he heard Ye Zhao was going to take a vocal class, Daguro Moji said intimately: "Medita Maeda in the vocal class is very high. Although it is a bit harsh, if you get scolded, you don't have to take it to heart. She has no bad intentions."

Ye Zhao nodded, "Thank you for the reminder of Dahei Sister."

The vocal classroom is located at the end of the corridor. Ye Zhao arrived about five minutes earlier than Mr. Maeda. When Mr. Maeda came in, he saw that Ye Zhao had arrived and nodded secretly. No matter what, being modest and polite is a common law in the world.

Mr. Maeda is about forty years old and has a plain appearance. The two vertical lines on the corners of her mouth make her look a little difficult to get along with. "Hello, I am Maeda Yuki who will be your vocal teacher from today."

"Hello, Mr. Maeda, I am Ye Zhao, a newcomer who just joined the company. Please give me some advice."

"Well," Maeda nodded, "Then let's start the class. First, you sing a cappella and I'll see your level."

As a half-baked guy who has never received training, he was also a lead guitarist in the band before. What level can Ye Zhao have? He used his capital to fool the layman in the past because of his youth. In the face of real singing, it was a terrible sight. Teacher Maeda listened to Ye Zhao's song with a stern face and pointed out five or six points that needed to be corrected. Then he urged Ye Zhao to start with his basic voice and voice method, and turn it back bit by bit in the professional direction.

The one and a half hours of the course passed quickly, and as the get out of class was over, Mr. Maeda finally showed a smile and encouraged: "Although your foundation is a bit poor, your understanding is good, and the learning speed is a bit unexpected to me. I believe that at this level, you can become a professional singer when you finish this course."

Farewell to Mr. Maeda, Ye Zhao walked out of the classroom. At this time, the door of the rehearsal room was also pushed open, and Dahei Moji walked out of the inside while making a phone call. Seeing Ye Zhao, Dahei Moji said to the other end of the phone: "What a coincidence." After saying a few simple words, hung up the phone, hello to Ye Zhao and said, "Is it over?"

"Yes, Big Black Sister."

"How about it, are you still used to the course?"

"Fortunately, thanks to Mr. Maeda, I corrected many of my bad habits in making voices."

Dahei Moji nodded, "Is there anything wrong next? If it's okay, I'll take you to a place. Someone is very interested in you!"

"Who?" Ye Zhao asked.

"You will know when you go!" Darkmoji made a gesture of let's go!

...

The elevator slowly fell to the negative floor, and Maji Okura took Ye Zhao to the recording studio located inside BEING. The equipment of this recording studio is relatively simple, and it is incomparable to the top recording studios owned by BEING in Tokyo. However, this is a place where many composers and singers in the company create and sing.

Three people had gathered in the recording studio, and Ye Zhao, the tallest man, recognized it as BEING's gold medal composer Tetsuro Oda. At this time, he stepped on one foot on the chair and talked to the other two with great enthusiasm, without the qualifying of a producer.

The other two, one is a middle-aged man with gray hair, fat body, and a kind-looking middle-aged man, and the other woman is about 20 years old, with long wavy hair spread out, wearing a crimson T-shirt with sequins, and a black miniskirt, which has a wild feeling of being the same as the Big Black Moji.

"Mika, I've brought you people." Okuromoji said loudly as he walked in.

He was able to chat and laugh with a big shot like Tetsuro Oda, and his name was Mika. Ye Zhao could only think of one person: Mika Kawashima.

Mika Kawashima is a female composer under BEING and one of the company's main composers. She has two of her most familiar masterpieces. One is ZARD's song "Don't Forget That Smile", which was once ranked first in fan votes, and the other is "Capture the Shining Moment" sung by MANISH for Slam Dunk. Although she may not be much compared to the well-known Tetsuro Oda and Seiichiro Kurirabayashi.

Fame, but strength cannot be underestimated. Many BEING singers including ZARD, WANDS, MANISH, Ai Na, and Aya Kamiki have sang the songs she wrote. In addition to BEING, she also provided songs for Sakai Nobuko. By the way, the lyricist of the song was a fat man with black-framed glasses. Perhaps it was the thread that was tied at that time. Later, Mika Kawashima wrote a theater song for Namba 48.
