Chapter 50 Public Expenses Travel
"Photograph the MV?" The woman hesitated for a moment, and her expression calmed down, "So that's the case. I can't make the decision for Xiaohui about this matter, so you'd better discuss her yourself."
"You're not her agent?"
"I am a teacher from the Okinawan Actors Society, and I accompany her to Tokyo for the audition." The woman explained, looking at Yuki Hiro Nakama, "You heard it just now, how about it, do you want to give it a try?"
Yuki Nakama's cautious gaze changed back and forth between Ye Zhao'a and the few people beside him, and the look of defense on her face finally faded a little. After thinking about it, she asked timidly: "Are you Ye Zhaosang who sang "Summer Color"?"
Ye Zhao nodded, "It's like a fake one to change."
After receiving a positive response, Yuki Ei Nakama relaxed and showed a shy smile, "This song is very popular in Okinawa, and everyone is singing this song in karaoke."
"Thank you for enjoying this song. Since that's the case, are you interested in being the heroine of my MV now?"
"But I can hardly act..."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a very simple MV. Even if you haven't learned acting, you can be fully qualified."
"If you don't dislike me for being dragged back, I'd like to give it a try." Yuki Eki Nakama said, "But will Teacher Yoshinaga go with you too?"
"Of course. You are underage, so it's time for the guardian to follow you."
Ye Zhao wanted to play an unprecedented trick in his new single, that is, shoot two different MVs for the main single, and play them on different TV stations, and use two completely different MVs to arouse the curiosity of the audience. In addition, he also plans to release 12CM singles boldly and attach the MV to it in this era when 8CM is popular.
8CM singles have many benefits, especially the convenience of carrying, which greatly promotes the sales of singles, but 12CM singles also have advantages that it cannot match: they have large capacity and can be accompanied by BOOKLET, which makes it easier for singers and companies to expand and produce CD content.
In the 1990s, the 12CM single was first shining in 1995. Fukuyama Masaji's single "HELLO" was released in 12CM form and won one million, becoming the first 12CM single in ORICON official statistics. Although the first one to get million certification from the RB Record Association was B’z released in 1989 as a mini album and finally became B’z’s 156 weeks in the charts, becoming B’z’s hit.
Nowadays, if 12CM singles were released, it would be like having a natural topic and would be of great use to promote the singles. If Ye Zhao hadn't been a little dismissive of plural commercial law, he would have planned to make a first-time normal system to reduce sales. However, this matter was just a thought. He didn't want to be criticized as the source of evil when people later traced CD commercial law...
The original MV was decided by Ye Zhao in the studio with the band LIVE, and later the company's scissors cut some of the recordings and made up a simple MV.
The content of the second MV was temporarily thought out by Ye Zhao. At the beginning of the MV, the heroine played by Yuki Nakama walked on the street with a mini video recorder. The scene under her camera was constantly changing with the rising snowflakes. On the other side, Ye Zhao, who also held a mini video recorder, also strolled on the street, and the scenery in the camera also changed accordingly. Of course, the so-called snowflakes must be special effects added later.
As the song gradually changed, the pictures that appeared in the video recorder of the two began to overlap. Until the song came to an end, the video recorder in Yuki Nakama's hand appeared in the video recorder of Ye Zhao slowly walking towards her.
After listening to Ye Zhao's idea, the director had no special opinions. Instead, Yuki Hui Nakama was a little embarrassed. Through Ye Zhao's description, she probably learned that this was the winter song, but as a native Okinawan, she had never seen Xue. "Is this really OK? Let me, who has never seen Xue, be the protagonist of the winter song's MV?"
"Of course it's okay. For example, you've never planted an apple tree, so don't eat apples?"
"It seems like that." Yuki Hui Nakama nodded in confusion and agreed to this statement. This confused expression is so cute... Ye Zhao expressed his uncle-like emotion in his heart, and said: "Hokkaido has already ushered in the first snow a while ago. Otherwise, this year's winter vacation, I would like to invite you and your family to go on vacation to Hokkaido and see the real snow?"
"Hey~" Yuki Nakama was a little moved.
"That's all," Ye Zhao made a decision. "If you leave your contact information and address later, I will ask Uencun to arrange everything, just treat it as a sudden request to ask you to give me a thank you. It's also you who helped me, otherwise it would be very troublesome to find a suitable actress temporarily."
After deciding to go out for a scene, Uemura Yuki hurried out to negotiate the place. During this time, the Ye Zhaohe bands completed the shooting of the first MV. The final decision was to requisition the Sanxuan Tea House area where Ye Zhao lived. The entire shooting process was very smooth. He really entered his own role. Neither Ye Zhao nor Yuki Hui Nakama had any previous concerns that they might lose their chains.
After the filming was over, Ye Zhao gave the bouquet he had ordered Uemura Yuki to set in advance to Yuki Nakama, "Thank you for your hard work, I hope I can work together again if I have the chance in the future."
Yuki Yuki took the bouquet, "I am here. It's a great honor to be able to participate in Ye Zhaosang's works."
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I'm not much older than you. There is no need to be so polite, just take it easy."
Yuki Ei Nakama said "um" lightly. Ye Zhao didn't force himself, and then went to thank the staff who participated in the shooting.
...
After the MV was filmed, the next thing to solve was the problem of the record cover and inner page. On the record cover, Ye Zhao chose to use Yuki Hika Nakama again, not because she wanted to take pictures of her current beauty and collect her, but just to echo the MV and create a little mystery.
The final record cover is a photo of Yuki Nakama holding a white rabbit in his arms and smiling at the camera. The white rabbit was sponsored by a pet store in Sanxuan Tea House.
Since Ye Zhao planned to use a 12CM single, he had to prepare some photos for the inner page. This time he did not refuse the BEING photographer's pursuit of excellence in finding angles. He was photographed for nearly two hours. Then he and his team picked out the part used for the inner page production from hundreds of photos.
After the finished product of the MV was released, due to technical restrictions, the snowflakes inside could not be fake anymore. Even so, the money they should spend was still not much - of course, that little money would be even worse than the hair of a certain Hawaiian diva who burned a house or a moldy woman lying in a bathtub diamond.
By the way, because it was an extra-budget shooting, the cost was finally paid by ZYE.
Using a single with a 12CM specification, the cost will increase accordingly. If the cost increases, the pricing will inevitably rise. The high price will make the single's advantage disappear. In the 1990s, the reason why singles were sold well and cheap was also one of the reasons. In the end, the single was priced at 1165 yen, of course, which included a 3% consumption tax.
Although BEING lacks media resources, it has a two-minute mini program "NO." in the prime time of Asahi TV. It is specifically used to play some behind-the-scenes shot by BEING singers in the recording studio or short versions of the program. After the single entered the promotional stage, Ye Zhao's first MV was sent here for broadcasting and promotional.
As for the second MV shot by Yuki Hira Nakama, Ye Zhao paid out of his own pocket again and contacted MTVJapan through ZYE to play the MV.
In addition, Takeda Toshi also tried to contact Ye Zhao for some group resources, but with the company's current strength, it is difficult to have any good resources. In the entertainment industry, 20% of people enjoy 80% of resources, while 80% of people have to compete for 20% of resources.
Faced with the various notices handed over by Takeda Toshi, Ye Zhao thought about it and put down the stack of paper, "Bada Sang, I have an idea."
"idea?"
