Chapter 82: I Will Really Be Retributed
Masaji Fukuyama and Ao Ye are both one of the hottest characters in the music industry at present. Therefore, in terms of the first shipment of the double A single "Mei Shiki/Sakura", BMG also printed 300,000 copies in one go. It was not a total of 300,000 copies, but 300,000 copies each of the 8CM version and 12CM version. Total, it was already a single with a shipment volume of up to 600,000 copies.
After a series of magazine promotions before the official release and the musical songs on April 15, this single, which was released from February and received high attention during the entire production process, was finally on April 18th and was released on record stores of all sizes across the country.
On the morning of April 19, in ZYE's office, Yuki Tamura was dancing to Ye Zhao and said, "President, last night, my friend and I went to Shibuya to play. I saw that the record store was full of people. The singles of the president and Fukuyama Sang were placed in the most conspicuous place in the store. Many girls were queuing up to buy them, and even I couldn't help but buy one of the two versions."
"Hasn't I already given you a single? Wouldn't it be a waste to buy it specifically?"
"In order to show your support for the president, what is it to buy a single?"
"real?"
"This..." Yuki Tamura looked up at the ceiling with some guilt, "Actually, because my friend was going to buy it, I bought it with me. Otherwise, everyone was rushing to buy it, and I was there looking like a big Buddha who was completely unmoved, wouldn't it be strange?"
Ye Zhao showed a "I know" expression, "You can hold on for a while, I'm almost moved by you." Having said that, following the trend is really everywhere.
...
With the name of ZYE, Kawamoto and Yoshi no longer need to send DEMO like Ye Zhao before his debut, like a headless fly, and then start waiting for an infinitely long time. As long as you send DEMO, even if you refuse, the record company will at least send a notice.
Among the record companies such as Sony, Universal, Ai Hui, EMI, and VICTOR, Ye Zhao's ideal ranking is Universal, Ai Hui, Sony, EMI, and VICTOR. However, when seeking Kawamoto Kawamoto Kawamoto Kawamoto expressed his willingness to "really want to go to Sony the most."
"Because Sony is a big company with many resources?"
"It's not all." Kawamoto Kawamoto shook his head, "Because I like JUDY AND MARY San, the dreams come true, and Suzuki Masanosan are both Sony singers. It feels like Sony is more inclusive to singers in various styles. Although it must be very good if I can become popular, I still want to make the music I like more."
If Kawamoto and signed to Sony on behalf of the company, that would not be a bad thing, or a good thing. Needless to say, Sony's resources are quite rich, and they can't count the various anime and game works they invest in every year. Of course, the theme songs of these anime games are also rich and are organized by their own singers.
Sony's strategy of promoting people is also very smart. It will not catch a super-large newcomer and pile all resources on him, but will spread it to more newcomers and test the waters and invest in a wide net. It will neither place hope on a certain group of singers like gambling, nor will it rashly give up a certain group of singers because they are unlikely to achieve results in the short term.
But although there are many advantages to joining Sony, there is also a place that makes Ye Zhao afraid. What if the power of history is so strong that Kawamoto and Yoshi have a dispute with Sony?
But when he thought about it, he felt relieved. Anyway, Kawamoto and Yoshi's agent contract were in his hands, and the record contract was also based on the premise that he was the producer. In this case, if history was repeated again, he might as well just wash his hands and retreat to his hometown to fish.
As for the initial resentment towards Sony? It was not that Ye Zhao found a reason for himself, but that this resentment was really like jealousy of Okada Taro marrying Yoshinaga Koshuri, illusory and meaningless. And after all, it was completely different that he signed a contract with Sony and signed a singer to Sony. In the former, the goods being sold were himself, and the latter was purely a win-win situation with the big tree of Sony.
In this way, Sony Records once again became Ye Zhao's first choice. As for the result, it is still unknown for the time being.
...
On the afternoon of April 19, in order to complete the official recording of HEY3, Ye Zhao came to Fuji TV again.
The HEY3 program has been officially launched in October last year to now. Although it has only been half a year's qualifications, both the ratings and the guests participating in each episode are worthy of its prime time specifications. When HEY3 ends, the famous "Monthly Ninth" is followed.
No matter what happens in the future, Yuejiu can really blew up a phenomenal whirlwind. Many people will transfer the station in advance to wait for TV series. This is also one of the reasons why HEY3 has remained high since its launch.
Contrary to the MS that must have Johnny in each episode, HEY3 has a good relationship with the Komuro family. The singer who Komuro Tetsuya is the producer often appears on this show. He even formed the group H Jungle With t not long ago with Makoto Hamada, one of the hosts.
When he arrived in the backstage and before the recording officially started, Ye Zhao took the single to visit the host DOWNTOWN as usual. Of course, this kind of visit to the younger generation and senior, as well as guests with good relationships, would never happen if the older generation took the single to look for the younger generation.
Compared to the head that was touchingly, Matsumoto Hiroshi also had thick black hair, and his appearance was not as deterrent as it looked later. Although he was a funny artist, both of them had considerable talents. Last September, Matsumoto Hiroshi published his work "Suicide Letter", which won the 12-week championship on the ORICON book list, adding the best-selling author to various titles of Matsumoto Hiroshi.
Matsumoto, who is always wearing a suit on the show, is wearing a black T-shirt and sports trousers at this time, which is a rare scene to some extent.
Matsu himself received the single, "Please give me more advice for the next program, Ye Zhaosang."
"I am here, please give me some advice." Both of them met for the first time, so after just a little greeting, Ye Zhao got up and offered to say goodbye.
DOWNTOWN's lounge is separate. The lounge of Hamada Matsumoto is opposite Matsumoto Shi, leaving Matsumoto Shi's lounge. Uemura Yuki was waiting outside to hand over the prepared single to Ye Zhao.
Makoto Hamada is naturally curled and looks a bit like a gorilla. Whether on stage or off stage, he always wears sports and casual clothes, with a sloppy and sloppy look in his image.
After accepting the single, Makoto Hamada joked and asked, "When the recording is officially started, it doesn't matter if you play a little too much, right?"
This kind of question is not appropriate whether it is an answer or not. After thinking about it, Ye Zhao pretended to be stupid: "This... Does Hamada Sang's 'excess' refer to the strength of knocking his head?"
Hamada Masako knocks on someone else's head. In addition to knocking on his partner Matsu himself, there are even people like Ryuichi Sakamoto and Ayumi Hamasaki among the people who are "attacked".
However, in urban legends, anyone who is over-tatted by Makoto Hamada will become popular, so many people dream of being hit by him, just like waiting in line to be slapped by Antonio Pigwood in the face and "soul-fighting injected".
This strange funny way and ceremony was something that Ye Zhao could not understand no matter what.
"The strength of the head knocking? You can tell it." Ye Zhao's words made Makoto Hamada laugh. He, who is known for his shaking S in the show, looked kind and cheerful at this time. However, perhaps this kindness is limited to treating guests, because there is another legend that when a meeting with Makoto Hamada, the staff had to kneel down and communicate with him throughout the whole process.
...
After the video was over, he returned to the backstage and Masaharu Fukuyama invited him again: "Ye Jun, do you want to have a meal together later?" Speaking of this, he added with malicious intentions: "Don't worry, this time it's only me and you."
Ye Zhao looked disgusted, "Fukuyama Sang, this sentence is a bit disgusting by you."
"Anyway, do you go or not?"
"Of course someone has to go to treat him!" Ye Zhao replied with a smile.
"Who said I'm going to treat you?" Fukuyama Masaharu raised his lips, "AA."
The sushi restaurant he had already booked in Akasaka. This small shop hidden in the basement of Miyazaki Building can only accommodate eight or nine people to eat at the same time. Two younger chefs started, and the chef's sushi chef's hair and beard were all white, full of aura, and he had a craftsmanship in every move.
Here, there is no need to worry about being disturbed by star-chasers, nor do you have to worry about paparazzi coming in. The chef's craftsmanship is even more impeccable. Therefore, this place has become a good choice for people in the art world to gather.
Fukuyama Masaji, who had a few glasses of sake with sushi, suggested after leaving the sushi restaurant, "Ye Jun, why don't we go and renew it again? I know there is a very good lounge in the Tornomen, and Nakamura San and the others often visit there."
"I'm afraid it won't work today," Ye Zhao said a little apologetically, "There will be a temporary appointment next."
"Appointment? Is it a date or a meal?" Fukuyama Masaji was not displeased at all. Instead, he looked at Ye Zhao with gossip, as if he wanted to find something on his face.
I thought Ye Zhao would make a violent complaint about this, but what was abnormal was that this guy hesitated for a long time before he stammering: "It's better to say it's a shame PLAY conference than a date or a dinner party."
"ha?"
"Fukuyama Sang," Ye Zhao looked at Fukuyama Masaji seriously and said in a deep tone: "Facts have proved that if you keep talking about the train, you will really be retribution."
