Chapter 77: Two or three things about defeating the Sandman
The 1990s were not only an era when the music industry was full of flowers, but also an era when the production trend was the most prosperous. GLAY producer Masae Sakuma, Mr. Kobayashi, producer of Mr. Kobayashi, producer of SPEED producer Hirosaki, producer of SPEED, producer Tetsuya Komuro, and even later created PUFFY's Minsheng Okuda and Junjun, father of Good Morning Girl, have all seen the success of these people.
From 1978 to now, Oda Tetsuro's name has been tied to BEING. Although the sales volume of songs provided to others in his career have been tens of millions, it is almost impossible for him to take over the producer and control the singer's style. As a top composer, with the precedent of Tetsuya Komuro being a star, it is impossible to say that he does not want to upgrade to a producer and create the "work" he likes the most.
This is evident from his discovery of Aikawa Nanase and his love for her so much. If he hadn't had high expectations for her, Oda Tetsuro wouldn't have taught her music step by step and gave her the best things.
Hearing Ye Zhao's answer, Tetsuro Oda scratched his hair, "You don't want to be a producer by yourself, right?"
"It's better to be like this." Ye Zhao replied honestly, "Even if it's not for a long time, in the past or two years since Miss Kawamoto's debut, her musical style is best controlled by me." If the production power is not in his hands, then his plan will be impossible to talk about.
"I'm not too ambitious." Oda Tetsuro smiled and turned to serious. "But I want to remind you first that for newcomers, the importance of producers is unquestionable. I know that you have some talent in composing, but being a singer-songwriter is different from being a producer for others. Ye Jun, every decision you make may be related to her future, so you must be very cautious."
After listening carefully to Oda Tetsuro's words, Ye Zhao responded solemnly: "I understand, teacher."
"These are also felt when I decided to be a producer for Misaki," Oda Tetsuro leaned his back to the sofa and relaxed himself. "Some people think it's a quick thing to hold someone else's future, but for me, I only feel a lot of pressure." Speaking of this, I realized that the atmosphere was a bit serious and joked: "After that, I haven't tried this kind of pressure for many years, and it's pretty good to some extent."
"It's not bad if you have pressure?" Aikawa Nanase turned her head to look at him.
Tetsuro Oda looked at her with a smile, "Only if you have pressure, you can have the motivation to break through yourself. This is essentially the same as I keep asking you now. If I don't spur you, I'm afraid you will be complacent long ago."
Aikawa Nanase snorted, but this time it was no longer because she was not willing to be outdone, but because she was a little guilty. This was proven when she entered the studio to record later.
After drinking coffee, Aikawa Nanase took the initiative to ask to go to the recording room to try singing, and Ye Showa and Oda Tetsuro jointly supervised her seat. The debut song prepared by Oda Tetsuro for Aikawa Nanase was called "The Girl Who Don't Want to Just Dream", and the composition and arrangement were handled by Oda Tetsuro. In terms of arrangement, it is different from BEING's keyboard style, which strengthens the presence of bass, so that although the composer is the same person, it does not have the taste of BEING.
Aikawa Nanase sang for a while, and Oda Tetsuro invited Kawamoto and Dai to join in, and asked two girls of similar age to collaborate with one song. Unfortunately, the voices of these two people were not chemical at all, so it would be fine after a song. While they were still in the recording room, Oda Tetsuro said to Ye Zhao: "Why do you want to consider Ai Hui about the ownership of Miss Kawamoto? This company is quite inclusive to the new producers. If you have any intention, I can recommend it for you."
"For this, let's wait until Miss Kawamoto's DEMO recording is completed." Ye Zhao neither accepted nor refused.
Tetsuro Oda nodded, "Okay."
...
After leaving the recording studio, Kawamoto Kazuyo didn't say to Ye Zhao until he got back in the car: "I didn't expect to see Oda Sang, which scared me."
"Do you like Oda Sang very much?" Ye Zhao asked.
“It’s better to say that Oda San is like a god in my eyes.”
"The evaluation is so high? Why didn't you take the opportunity to talk to Oda San in the recording studio just now?"
Kawamoto Kawamoto shook his head, "I have tried my best to deal with Oda Sang's question. If I talk to him again, I will probably only be able to say those words that sound like intentional flattery."
Ye Zhao laughed when he heard this. Then he turned around and said, "After that, you get along well with Miss Misaki."
"Yes, before leaving, we had already exchanged BP machine numbers with each other and were ready to be 'BP machine friends'."
The so-called BP machine friends are similar to later MAIL friends, who use the BP machine's message function instead of text messages to contact friends. Nowadays, there is still a long way to go before mobile phones occupy the market, and text message technology is just in its infancy. However, nothing can stop the public from loving text messages, so the BP machine friends are born in time.
...
Since I don’t plan to sign Kawamoto and to BEING, I naturally can’t use BEING’s music teachers and recording studios anymore. However, when I’m not short of money, these two things can be solved in minutes.
The firm contacted Kawamoto Kawamoto Kawamoto a vocal classroom in Kawamoto town. It required reports five times a week, and the course fee was paid by ZYE. After Kawamoto Kawamoto officially debuted, it would be deducted from the share. As for the two days when there was no need to go to the vocal classroom to report, Kawamoto Kawamoto had to go to the recording studio for trial singing and recording.
With Kawamoto Kawamoto Kawamoto, he actually didn't worry much about Ye Zhao. The only thing he needed to "make up" for her was her singing skills. However, her strong voice in style was not a weakness, but a unique feature, and also a lack of breath. If other singers were too angry to sing, the audience would have long boasted her, but if Kawamoto Kawamoto Kawamoto Kawamoto, it would have become a unique charm.
...
April 8 at 8:55 pm.
"Brother Ye Zhao, have the channel changed?" Yuki Yuki on the other end of the phone urged.
Clipped the phone between his ears and shoulders, and while cutting the ham meat, Ye Zhao replied: "Wait a minute, I'll change it right away."
"If I hadn't called you, you probably would have forgotten this?"
"Uh... Isn't this remembering?" Spread the chopped ham meat, the right cut eggs, and the shredded karibanum layer by layer onto the bread bought from the convenience store, and a sandwich that cut corners was finished.
Between March and April, which is expected to be continued, Ye Zhao rarely got a day off on the 8th. He neither had a short trip to the day nor went out to party with his friends. The guy hid at home and slept hard on the clock for a circle.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, after three hundred rounds of fighting with the Sandman, Ye Zhao finally got rid of the constraints of the bed and crawled out of the bed. He went to the coffee shop downstairs for a simple meal, wandered aimlessly in the street like the maze of Sanxuan Tea House, and watched the drama "Caligula" in the small theater. The actor's performance was average, but it could be seen that he had put in a lot of effort, and it was always worth the return ticket price.
After watching the performance and returning home, Ye Zhao sat in front of the typewriter for a long time, carefully continuing to convert the movie scenes flowing in his mind into words.
At the end of the first course of the screenwriter's school, the teacher in charge gave him a very good evaluation. With a little confidence after being affirmed, Ye Zhao decided to "practice" with one of his most familiar movies. This movie is "Calling Love at the Center of the World" directed by Xing Dingxun in 2004.
At this moment, Xing Dingxun was also following Shunji Iwai as an assistant director. At the premiere of "Love Letter", Ye Zhao also found his name from the movie's cast and crew list. As for the actual filming independently, it will take a while to go on.
Ye Zhao adapted "Call Love in the Center of the World" and did not intend to make this movie. The success of the movie "Call Love in the Center of the World" was not just the success of a movie. Before that, the original novel of this movie was a best-selling book that sold more than one million copies, and then exceeded three million copies. The radio drama of the same name also caused a very sensational effect. Now, this novel has not appeared, so Ye Zhao is even more unlikely to write such a novel by himself. Without the original background and the times are different, if ZYE dies suddenly, ZYE can go bankrupt directly.
The reason why I chose this movie to practice is that since it is famous, it must be outstanding. The other is that the movie was filmed in 2004 and now it is 1995. Some of the situations in it are not comparable to the current ones. Unlike songs, once there is something "super time and space" in the movie, it will become very strange. However, in this case, if Ye Zhao really wants to get involved in movies in the future, whether it is filming Japanese movies or other countries, he must face this problem.
Before he really needs to face this problem, he has to try to come up with a solution.
...
"Brother Ye Zhao?" On the other end of the phone, Yuki Hiro Nakama woke him from his meditation.
"Oh, I heard it, I'll turn on the TV." Rescued the phone from between my shoulders and ears, came to the living room, found the remote control, and adjusted it to the NTV channel.
Today is the day when Ye Zhao played the SP drama "Kinda Ichiko Event Book" where the music was played. It only provided the soundtrack, but there was no actual performance. At most, it was just to scroll on the list of producers. So Ye Zhao didn't have any expectations. It was Yuki Hikaru Nakama, but he mentioned it briefly when she came to the office to play, but she didn't expect it to be remembered by her.
