Chapter 67 Dinner is an eternal theme

Since his rebirth, he is not considered his boss, Nakato, the first big figure in the circle that Ye Zhao has ever met was BRUNING's Hashimoto Kawasaki, and the second one is the AMUSE senior manager, whom Masaharu Fukuyama now introduced to him.

Dari Kuroko is graceful and has neither the arrogance of a superior, nor the demeanor of a powerhouse, which is in sharp contrast to the cunning and cunning man who is a man of Hexi.

When AMUSE was founded, it received assistance from BRUNING - this is also BRUNING's usual trick to expand its territory in the art world. Their lending department always keeps its eye on ambitious people in the art world and incites them at the right time.

In fact, the current agreement between Ye Zhao and Hexi Chengfu is equivalent to ZYE receiving assistance from BRUNING, although it is not funds.

However, after AMUSE has grown stronger, it has long since left BRUNING and has become one of the top major companies in the industry. Its external style and the toughness of the combustion system are completely different, and the two have a strong contrast.

"Original officer, this is Ye Zhao." Fukuyama Masaharu introduced.

Ye Zhao quickly bowed and said, "There is good executive in Dali, I am Ye Zhao."

Oriri Kurenko nodded, "Hello, Ye Jun, I often hear your name recently."

The three of them sat down on the sofa in the reception room. Oriri Kurenko said, "I already know your cooperation. Fukuyama Jun kept praising you here, making me eager to meet your real person. Sure enough, he is a talented person."

"The chief executive of Dali praised it."

Oriri Kurenko smiled slightly, "Excellent means excellence. There is no need to be too humble. I admire excellent people very much, and I don't hate proud people. On the contrary, the pride of excellent people makes me feel very cute. Ye Jun, Fukuyama Jun has already told me about the double A single, and I also listened to these two songs with people from the record company. Of course, we tend to be Fukuyama Jun, but in terms of facts, your "Sakura" is indeed excellent, so we agree to release double A singles, and the corresponding TIE-UP and MV shooting will be responsible for you to the end. Please feel free to do it."

"Thank you, Director Dari, it's so great." Ye Zhao and Fukuyama Masaharu both bowed.

Oriri Kurenko seemed to have a good impression of Ye Zhao. Before leaving, she did not forget to say to him: "I heard that Ye Jun opened his own firm. It is not easy to work alone. If there is any difficulty, just raise it."

"Thank you, it's really reassuring to hear you say this." Ye Zhao said.

After leaving the elevator, Masaharu Fukuyama said: "Don't treat the words of the Dari executive as a scene. She rarely promises this way. Since she has told you that, if you really encounter any difficult things in the future, she will really lend a helping hand. AMUSE is different from other companies, and has a very strong human touch."

"I believe this." Ye Zhao nodded.

"It's also because you have your own firm, otherwise I'll advise you to come to our firm." Fukuyama Masaharu said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"If I had such an opportunity at the beginning, I would join." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"By the way," Fukuyama Masaharu suggested, "Let's exchange private contact information this time."

"No problem." Ye Zhao agreed.

Speaking of which, his first mentor, Kasuke Kuanda, who brought him a turnaround, is an artist under AMUSE. Later, he and Masaharu Fukuyama inexplicably became a formula rival. Later, because of his fate, he decided to work together on the singles. Now he has been introduced to the senior management of AMUSE and has received such a "life-saving hair".

The various things combined make Ye Zhao sigh at the depth of his relationship with AMUSE.

...

After the New Year holiday, Sakai Izumizu plunged into the recording studio and carefully prepared her new album that she would release in March.

Sakai Izumi, who looks gentle and easy to talk on weekdays, has a strong obsession with striving for excellence in music. She often overturns the subtle places such as not being coordinated enough in the arrangement of a drum. This point has become more and more obvious as her voice in production, so that she often has to postpone the original release period due to this "captivity".

The most famous example is the song "Rolling the Wheel of Fate". It is said that this song has been arranged in a total of 18 versions. Since it is difficult to determine the most satisfactory version, the release period has been postponed from the original June to September 17th, which can be regarded as a textbook-level delay.

Ye Zhao followed the recording studio he had made an appointment with her in advance and stepped on to the recording studio.

"Can you go in now?" Ye Zhao asked his assistant Ms. Imai.

Miss Imai looked at her watch, "This time is almost over and the recording is about to end, it doesn't matter."

...

However, it seems that he is not satisfied with one of the lines of a certain song. Sakai Izumizu, who should have finished recording, is still working in the recording studio.

In the control room, Katsuhiro Shimada, who was wearing monitor headphones, nodded slightly to Ye Zhao and focused on his work. Since Sakai Izumizu had the habit of putting together the curtains in the recording studio when recording, she was concentrating on her work and didn't know that a second person had quietly come into the control room.

The waiting time was boring. Out of a little curiosity, Ye Zhao signaled Shimada Katsuhiro with his eyes, and after obtaining consent, he picked up a monitor headphone and put it on his head.

The sound of Sakai Insumi is as clear and transparent as she is. Although her singing skills are not top-notch, this unique tone is enough to make her bear the praise of "natural singer".

This song, which she re-recorded because she was dissatisfied, is the song "forever you" of the same name on her new album. This song is of great significance in the song released by Izumi Sakai throughout her life, just because it is a "Song of Sakiko" written to the past.

Although she took out "Don't Give Up" to express her attitude, it took a long time to truly get out of the haze. It was not until the 1995 "forever you" that she finally put a summary of the past experience and wrote the lyrics like "I don't regret the past."

At this moment, listening to the authentic singing from the headphones, a wonderful feeling of time and space flowing in my heart.

...

Feeling a little tired, Sakai Izumi took off his headphones, opened a corner of the curtain, and made a pause gesture to Katsuhiro Shimada. As far as he looked, he saw more than Katsuhiro Shimada, but also Ye Aki, who was also wearing monitor headphones.

A hint of surprise flashed across Sakai Izumizu's face. She raised her wrist and looked at the time, and realized that nearly thirty minutes had passed without realizing it.

When he returned to the control room, Sakai Izumi was a little apologized, "Sorry, Ye Jun, I have made you wait for a long time."

"It doesn't matter." Ye Zhao said, "After that, I'm so embarrassed to eavesdrop on Sister Quanshui's recording without authorization."

Sakai Izumizu smiled slightly, "It's okay."

Assistant Miss Imai brought warm honey tea to Sakai Insumi. Katsuhiro Shimada went out to pick up two cups of warm water and handed one of them to Ye Zhao. He looked back and forth in front of the two, and asked tentatively: "Do you have something to talk about?"

Ye Zhao looked at Sakai Izumizu and saw that she had no intention of speaking, she took the initiative to say: "It's nothing, Mr. Shimada. Miss Sakai mistakenly sent something when she was sending New Year's greetings. I'll come and return it to her."

After getting the answer, Katsuhiro Shimada returned to his seat and sat down slowly.

Ye Zhao put the disposable paper cup on the coffee table, took out the necklace in the self-sealed bag from the pocket of the tannin coat and handed it over, "Sister Quanshui, see if this is it."

Sakai Izumizu opened her left palm and linked her neck to her hand. Her fingers were fair and slender, and her nail clippings were extremely short.

"That's right, thank you Ye Jun. Also, I'm so embarrassed."

"It's okay." Ye Zhao smiled, "Does Sister Quanshui like handicrafts very much?"

Sakai Izumi carefully put the necklace into her bag and raised her head, "Yes, I enjoyed this creative process."

Ye Zhao, who was going to enter the studio to record the next morning, sat down for a while and said goodbye.

Sakai Izumizu stood up and sent him, "I made such a misunderstanding, so you can go there more times and you should apologize to you."

It’s nothing to go for another trip, but this relationship is a bit wasteful... Ye Zhao thought silently, but there was a look on his face.

"I'm busy making new albums lately, and you have a single to record..." Sakai Izumizu thought for a while, "Let's do it, wait until you've been busy for a while and find an opportunity to have a meal together, how about it?"

"Of course there is no problem!" Ye Zhao thought for two seconds and quickly agreed.

...

The leading players of the new single are BMG and AMUSE, so the recording is also performed in the studio under the name of BMG.

The meeting place was the last time in Shibuya District. This time the recording was not officially started, but the two parties conducted a trial singing to confirm the fit.

In order to highlight the theme of the collaborative single, both songs will be performed in the form of a chorus. With the assistance of the producer sent by BMG, Masaharu Fukuyama and Akira quickly allocated and adjusted the lyrics, and determined the part they were going to sing and the timing of the harmony.

There are not many things that require the outside world to intervene when cooperating with two singer-songwriters. When it comes to the arrangement of songs, Masaharu Fukuyama still collaborates with his commonly used arrangers, and Ye Zhao takes back the arrangement of "Sakura" and completed it by BEING.

This time, it was not Akishi Masao Akishi, but Hiroto Koi, who had just emerged in BEING.

Speaking of Hiroto Koi, his name is known to many people as an arrangementist for singers such as ZARD and Miresuke Komatsu, and as a keyboardist and arrangement for GARNET CROW. In addition to his superb arrangement level, his amazing keyboard performance is also talked about.

Although the golden signs of Shuangro + Masao Akishi are deeply rooted in people's hearts, BEING has never stopped attracting fresh blood. The composer is not yet praised for the time being. Among the arrangementists, Daisuke Ikeda and Hiroto Koi are both the best.
