Pull open the drawer, take out a silver-shiny paper-cutter knife from it, and carefully cut it along the seal. Open the package and there is a thick kraft envelope inside.

Open the envelope and pour out the things inside. What fell into your hand was a stack of landscape photos, a small glass necklace, and a beautifully written letter paper.

"Hello, Ye Jun, thank you for the local products you sent last time. It was the most special 'local products' I received. This year's New Year, my family and I went to Europe for a trip. There, I saw the scenery with different styles, experienced many novel things, and tasted quite delicious coffee. Traveling is really a wonderful thing."

"I like the local products you gave me last time, so as a gift, please accept my little thoughts. And, the new single has successfully reached one million, which is really gratifying."

The signature is Sakai Izumizu.

When he went to the north to promote and travel, Ye Zhao bought a lot of local local products along the way. After returning to Tokyo, he handed them over to Yuki Tamura to give them to his friends who had a good relationship in Tokyo and members of the BEER club.

But what was given to Sakai Insumi was a special "local product". It was not a souvenir bought in a local local product store, but dozens of landscape photos.

When he decided to go to Yuzawa, Ye Zhao bought a camera in a department store in Akita City, and then he fell in love with the feeling of pressing the shutter and saving the scenery forever. Every time he went there, whenever he had time to go out for a walk, he would definitely bring his camera to take a big shot.

After returning to Tokyo and washing out the photos, he did not give her ordinary local products out of a sudden idea, but instead selected more than 30 pictures of the scenery that he was more satisfied with, and sent them to Sakai Izumi's personal office, and "send" her the scenery he had seen.

So, Sakai Izumi also gave him a unique gift for her travel photos.

After roughly looking through those photos, unlike a layman like Ye Zhao who only knows how to press the shutter, Sakai Izumi, who runs all day long, has a very good technique for taking photos. Whether it is light or composition and scenery selection, it has some remarkable wonders.

Putting the photo back into the envelope, Ye Zhao planned to wait a moment to ask Uemura Yuki to buy an album for him and put it on. Although he was nominally an agent, the announcement was always the responsibility of Takeda Toshi, and Uemura Yuki has always been an assistant job.

After placing the photos, Ye Zhao pinched the small necklace and looked it in his palm. To be fair, the production process of this necklace is not very good. Although it is not ugly, it is quite awkward. It should be the work of an outsider.

Speaking of the layman, a thought flashed through Ye Zhao's mind... No way?

After thinking about it, Ye Zhao took out his cell phone and found Sakai Izumizu's number. He hesitated for a moment, and dialed it in.

In fact, this was the first time Ye Zhao called Sakai Izumizu. Although she successfully got her number at that time, the relationship between the two could only be considered as a senior and junior in the company with more interactions, and they were not even friends. Ye Zhao was too lazy to call for nothing and attracted people to be disgusted. It was even more impossible for Sakai Izumizu to contact him on his own initiative. In addition, he was so busy that he couldn't light up the new single, so although he had a shameless attitude to get the number, he didn't even have a place to use it.

But this time, there is an exception, at least thank her for her gift? After all, that is probably her own work.

I waited for a while before I was picked up.

"Hello, Mr. Ye."

"Hello, Sister Quanshui, I have received the package. Thank you for your gift."

"You're welcome. That..." He hesitated for a moment, as if he had something to say but couldn't say.

Realizing this, Ye Zhao asked, "Is there anything wrong with Sister Quanshui?"

Sakai Izumizu was silent for a while before asking embarrassedly: "That Ye Jun, have you found a necklace in the package?"

"There is a glass necklace." Ye Zhao looked at the necklace in his hand, "I called you for this, Sister Quanshui, did you make it yourself?"

Sakai Izumizu apologized even more, "Yes, but Ye Jun, although I feel embarrassed to say that, that necklace is not for you..." Speaking later, Sakai Izumizu was almost weak enough to hear clearly.

"Eh?!" Eh eh—

Is reality so cruel?

"But please don't get me wrong," Sakai Izumi quickly explained, "That necklace was learned from my master in a local workshop when I went to Italy. I made four pieces in total, and only this one was quite reasonable, so I originally wanted to keep it as a souvenir, that..."

"So that's the case," Ye Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Since that's the case, I'll take some time to send it back to Sister Quanshui."

"Thank you really, Ye Jun. Also, I'm really sorry."

"It doesn't matter. Those landscape photos are luxurious enough. Since the necklace is a souvenir of Sister Quanshui, I certainly cannot win over what I love. But I have to be busy preparing the new song these days, maybe it's a little later, right?"

"Of course it doesn't matter. Just call me then, and I will set aside time for you."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhao looked at the necklace again. He shook his head, then opened the drawer and carefully put the necklace in.

...

We agreed with Masaharu Fukuyama to meet at 8 o'clock that evening.

As soon as he entered the door, Ye Zhao saw an unexpected person.

"Miss Uchida?"

Looking at Ye Zhao with a surprised look on his face, Fukuyama Masaji raised the corner of his mouth and gently hugged Uchida Yuki's shoulder, "I'll introduce you to you, this is my girlfriend Uchida Yuki."

At this time, the fact that Masaharu Fukuyama and Yuki Uchida were dating was almost public, so he brought his girlfriend to the recording studio without hesitation.

Uchida Yuki broke free from Fukuyama Masaji's arms shyly, and owed her body, saying, "Hello, I'm Uchida Yuki."

Hiccup~ I didn’t eat much tonight, so why did I suddenly feel very full?

...

Masaji Fukuyama and Akihi Uchida came here together after dinner at a barbecue restaurant in Shibuya. I heard that both of them were going to take out a new song to have a "defend", and Akihi Uchida was also very interested.

Fukuyama Masaharu and Uchida Yuki occupied a long sofa, while Ye Aki pulled over a swivel chair and sat down. They each picked up an acoustic guitar, looking like they were about to fight.

"Fukuyama Sang is senior, please ask first." Ye Zhao covered Yinkong with his right hand and took the initiative.

Fukuyama Masaharu was not polite either. He took off the picks on the neck, adjusted the pitch, gently swept the lower strings, and played the guitar casually.

The song that Fukuyama Masaharu is called "Beautiful Flower".

In terms of singing skills, Masaharu Fukuyama is definitely not the kind of amazing type, but his voice makes up for the flaws of singing skills. As a singer-songwriter, Masaharu Fukuyama has always been aware of his shortcomings and rarely writes songs beyond his ability.

This song "Beautiful Flower" is no exception, continuing the usual Fukuyama style. After savoring it carefully, the matching of chords is quite exquisite, which shows his solid musical skills.

After the song ended, Ye Zhao applauded gently, "What a smooth song, it's worthy of being Fukuyama Sang."

Masaharu Fukuyama has always been confident in his music. When he heard Ye Zhao's appreciation, he was not humble, but raised his lips confidently and accepted it calmly. Uchida Yuki, who was sitting next to him, looked intoxicated, and his big eyes, which later called "Pregnant Eyes" seemed to be filled with stars.

A feeling of being full and panicked came up again.

Fukuyama Masaji put the guitar on the side stadium, "It's your turn next, Ye Jun."

"Okay!" Ye Zhao rubbed his palm against the strings, "Fukuyama Sang, Uchida Sang, please listen to this song "Sakura".

...

It was not until Ye Zhao covered Yinkong with his hands that Fukuyama Masaharu and Uchida Akito both applauded, "What a great song!"

To be honest, in the selection and creation of spring songs, Masaharu Fukuyama and Ao Ye thought of it together. Neither of them directly took out a song titled "How is Spring like?", but borrowed the image of flowers to express the theme they decided in obscurely.

"Oh, it's hard to deal with this now." Fukuyama Masaji sighed, "Although I don't want to admit defeat, Ye Jun's song is not inferior to me at all. It's hard to deal with."

"Not necessarily, I think the main song of Fukuyama Sang will give people a stronger impression." Ye Zhao told the truth. In terms of ear-grabbing, this song "Beautiful Flower" is more suitable for the main song.

"On the record company, I should also think that Fukuyama Sang's song is more suitable, and it's okay to do this song C/W." Ye Zhao said on his own initiative.

Fukuyama Masaharu hesitated a little, "You have such a good song, and it's too incompetent to do C/W."

As a layman in the recording industry, Uchida Yuki's consideration is much simpler. Although her boyfriend's rights and interests must be fully protected, in her heart, she also has a very high evaluation of the song "Sakura".

There were only three of them in the room, and Uchida Yuki thought about what he said, "Since that's the case, wouldn't it be better for you to make a single with Zhang Shuang's A-side."

Ordinary singles usually have one main song (A side song) with one or two C/W side songs (B side song). When promoting, in principle, only this main song will be promoted. This main song is basically the only one for shooting MVs and recording albums.

The so-called double A single refers to the situation where both songs in a single are all the main themes. Double A single can be traced back to the 1970s, so it is not a rare thing, it is just a little troublesome.

The two title songs included at the same time are not just changes in the title. They have to be changed in TIE-UP, MV shooting, the selection of song promotion, and even the cover. After all, since both songs are title songs, you can't just give one of them a full set of treatment.

The dominant single is in the hands of AMUSE and BMG. Ye Zhao is not suitable to ask this question. Uchida Yuki is so unscrupulous that it would be better to break this matter openly.
