"About this, I've actually been collecting songs. It's been a intensive publicity period this time. After this time, I will start to do DEMO." Ye Zhao replied.

Nagato Daiyu nodded, "Since that's the case, remember to let me listen after the sample is made." Even if Ye Zhao can do the lyrics, compositions and arrangements, his nominal producer is still Nagato Daiyu. Although this producer has never been to the recording studio to supervise him in the production process and rarely interferes in the single production process, this does not prevent him from holding the power of life and death for the singers in his hands.

Although there are many core veterans in the BEING company, Nagato Daiyuki has the final say, including the company's business policy, the creation of singer routes, etc., all of them are decided by him alone. Even if he established the company with him and as the company's chief composer, Oda Tetsuro, who created the BEING business myth, often had to lose sadly when he had a disagreement with Nagato Daiyuki.

If singers like Aikawa Nanase and Kazuyo Kawamoto really enter BEING, they may become lost in the crowd because of their "failure to adapt to the local environment", let alone create any records.

Ye Zhao quickly agreed. Even though Nagato Daiyu is not his producer, he was happy to ask Nagato Daiyu to help him listen to DEMO, because in the final analysis, releasing singles and releasing albums are actually two very different things. This difference is not only the amount of the song and the price.

RB has the largest single market in the world, and it is different from the European and American way of releasing albums first and then making singles. RB releases several singles at once and then includes singles into the album.

The reason for doing this is that the cycle of producing an album is very long and the cost is relatively high. Singles are much simpler. High-yielding singers can even release one single a month, so it will make money faster when posting songs in the form of a single.

Furthermore, singles are an efficient means to test the market. Whether singers are popular or not, whether the style of the song can be accepted by the public can be reflected immediately and adjusted according to market feedback. Moreover, if a hit single is released and included in the album, it can also effectively drive the album sales.

It can be said that the development of the single market is actually a reflection of the high commercialization of the RB record market.

Releasing a single is relatively rare, but the album is different. An excellent album is not only a single from the HIT or a hodgepodge of divine songs. In addition to whether the basic songs are beautiful, it also needs to consider the integrity of the entire album. If an album is too complicated and complicated, it is no different from driving a guest.

Moreover, compared to the price of a single of 1,000 yen, the album is almost three times more expensive. Spending 1,000 yen to buy a single you like is easy to make a decision, but spending about 3,000 yen to buy an album that may not be as good as your own taste is something that needs to be considered a little.

Nagato Daiyuki's business vision and musical taste can be believed at least now, so Ye Zhao is also willing to listen to his opinions and strive to make an "album" instead of wasting a "hodgepodge" of good songs.

After talking about the album, Nagato Daiyuki seemed to chat casually and asked: "Did you take the soundtrack of the TV series a while ago?"

"Yes, the soundtrack of "Kinda Yipin Event Book". It was originally just an SP, but this year's summer schedule decided to be regular. NTV continued to entrust me. In addition, I also sent an invitation to play a guest role." Although the soundtrack invitation was sent directly to the firm, the production process was still in the recording studio of BEING. It was impossible to say that Nagato Daiyuki didn't know. Despite this, Ye Zhao still cooperated to report to him once.

"I have to prepare an album, write a soundtrack, and shoot TV series, but I have to be busy."

"Fortunately, the soundtrack has already been provided by the SP before, so the workload is not that great, and the TV series characters are just guest appearances in a certain episode. President Nagato, please rest assured that it will not delay the production process of the album." Ye Zhao promised.

Nagato Yuki nodded, "I'm not worried about this. It's just Ye Jun. Although you may blame me for saying this by me, we are BEING, and everything should be based on music. It's better not to do extra things."

The soundtrack is also music... Ye Zhao complained in his heart, of course, he naturally understood the meaning of Nagato Daiyuki's "music-based" and was too lazy to argue with him, so he just nodded honestly and said, "I understand."

Nagato Oyuki was quite satisfied with his reaction and patted his shoulder with a smile, "Come on, Ye Jun."

Nagato Daiyu, who tasted the sweetness on the mysterious route, decided to implement this mystery to the end and win the victory with music. However, with the development of the times - even without looking forward to the future, just in 1995, the disadvantages of this business model have been fully revealed.

In order to implement this business strategy, Nagato Daiyu has continuously restricted the personal development of his singers, refused to take on advertisements for them, and opposed them participating in commercial activities. This has also caused dissatisfaction among some singers. After all, it is really worrying to be unable to convert popularity into money at its most glorious time.

...

The producer of "Kinda Ichiko's Event Book" finally met Ye Zhao's expectations and invited him to star in the murderer Hideji Toono in the episode "The Sorrowful Lake Murder".

Who is Tono Hideji? The heroine Miyuki Nanase used to be a senior high school senior, former student president, 18 years old, has a wealthy family, and is a super handsome guy. This character setting, when used in ordinary campus dramas, must be at the level of the male lead. Even if it is not the male lead, it must be the object of being deeply loved or secretly loved by the heroine.

But what about the case of "The Secret Love Lake Murder"? This is a German orthopedic brother adopted by a wealthy family who killed people crazy to avenge his sister who died unexpectedly. He even killed several people but did not kill the right person. After being exposed, he took a speedboat and revealed that his life and death were unknown... The brother and sister eventually became lovers. Although the handsome guy did not make a big deal, he belonged to his sister. The world is really beautiful.

Yukihiko Tsuki also called him specially and announced proudly: "This character was decided by the producer of Suoshan to discuss with everyone in the future. How about it? It's pretty good, right?"

"It's really good." Ye Zhao nodded honestly. No matter how much he complained, in Kaneda Ichi, murderers like Hideji Toono had already enjoyed the highest treatment.

"The TV station has only decided that I will film the two episodes of Yirenguan Village and the Grace Lake. When the filming is officially started, Ye Jun can come and go to the set to learn about the shooting of the TV series. After all, it is something that I promised Ye Jun." This is another feature of the Japanese drama in the production process. There are many screenwriters responsible for a TV series from beginning to end, but there are almost no directors responsible for a TV series from beginning to end, and basically several directors will take turns directing it.

...

After the first week of the single, the intensive publicity period finally came to an end. It was still half a month before the TV series started filming, and Ye Zhao finally took time to return to the studio. The TV series soundtrack and the production of the new album were collided, and between these two major projects, there was a promise to provide songs to SMAP.

So, before the real major project began, Ye Zhao decided to make a small example of "Overseas of the Night Sky" before talking about it. So it would be bad if he was really busy and forget about it.

Since it is officially offering songs to other singers, it is definitely not as simple as before, just recording a cappella recording with a tape. At least you have to consider the arrangement of harmony and orchestration. Even if the sample is only a semi-finished product, the person who received the song must understand the concept of this song. In addition, there is also a bit of selfishness. Ye Zhao thinks that the original song of this song is perfect enough. If possible, it is best to make the original song intact.

In the recording room, Ye Zhao sat on the ground, wearing headphones, humming the tune of the song, and writing and drawing on the paper in front of him from time to time. The content of the paper that was originally only the slit and lyrics became more and more abundant. It was not until the final version was finalized that Ye Zhao took the guitar, turned on the recording keys of the recorder, and recorded a formal sample.

At the end of the last syllable, Ye Zhao put down his guitar, and his unimportant laziness reached halfway through the half, and suddenly he was frozen: in front of the console opposite, there was the Sizumi Sakai who had not seen for a long time.

The moment the two of them met, Sakai Izumizu showed a small smile and moved her lips. Although she could not understand the lip words, the gesture she made after cooperation was mostly like "Continue, don't care about me".

After slowly stretching out halfway, he stood up from the ground, and walked out of the recording room with the recorder and score. Ye Zhao asked embarrassedly: "Have Sister Quanshui been here for a long time?"

"No, maybe it came in when you picked up the guitar." Speaking of this, Sakai Izumizu asked kindly: "Why don't you continue? Did I disturb you?"

"No, it's done." Ye Zhao smiled at her and showed the music score in his hand. "Will Sister Quanshui come here to record today?"

Sakai Izumi nodded, "It started about two or three days ago. There will be a new single in June, so it's okay to be busy. I just heard the studio staff say you're here today. I thought you haven't seen each other for a long time, so I came over to say hello."

"I just released a new album in March, right? There will be a new single soon." Ye Zhao was surprised and said with some concern: "Although it may be rude for me, I would like to ask Sister Quanshui to take care of her health when she is so busy at work." Especially her working habits of hiking during the day and going out at night will cause great damage to her body.
