Chapter 94: I won't give you thirty seconds
"Actually, when I got the song to try it out, I almost bit my tongue. Even now, I have to do a pretty warm-up before every official recording." Sakai Izumizu held the teacup in her hands as if she was a little afraid of the cold. "But although it was a bit difficult when singing, I actually liked this song very much. When I first got the song DEMO, I thought that if I had a ride, I must play this song in the car."
"I also like this song very much. Although the song is also very good, I like the lyrics more than the song." Ye Zhao said, "When I first listened, I felt a sense of resonance that 'Is this writing me'. Sister Quanshui is really a master of lyrics."
Sakai Izumi smiled shyly, "It's too much to praise this. I just put what I want to convey in the lyrics. Of course, I'm really happy to hear you feel a sympathy."
"After that, FIELD OF VIEW's new single is written by Sister Izumizu, right? I have also provided lyrics for DEEN Sang before," Ye Zhao looked at Sizumizu Sakai with some anticipation, "When will Sister Izumizu also write lyrics for my song?"
In the four years since her debut, Sakai Izumizu has provided lyrics to singers such as Teresa Teng, DEEN, FIELD OF VIEW, but the ones that led to these cooperation were the companies, not for her personal invitations, let alone her face-to-face and straightforward invitation songs like Ye Zhao.
"Are you providing lyrics for Ye Jun's songs?" Sakai Izumizu asked back as if confirming.
Ye Zhao nodded, "This is a sincere plea from the younger generation."
Some exaggerated words made Sakai Izumizu laugh, "It was definitely intentional, right?"
"Anyway, what do Sister Quanshui thinks?"
"Your younger generation is so 'really pleading', of course it's okay." Sakai Izumizu agreed and turned to half-joking: "But if the lyrics are written by me, you should get one less royalty."
At this time, if you say "The lyrics of Sister Quanshui are hard to find, let alone a royalty", it would be so vulgar and flattering that it makes people want to vomit. Therefore, Ye Zhao deliberately followed her words and said, "Yes. Otherwise, when Sister Quanshui releases a new song next time, consider using my song, so that will be even?"
"So smart, Ye Jun." Sakai Izumi laughed kindly.
"I will regard it as a compliment." Ye Zhao looked at her with a smile, "There are still many places to spend money in the future. If you don't save it from now on, you will definitely not be able to take advantage of it."
Sakai Izumizu was a little curious, "Where are there any places that need to spend money?"
"Well, there is no need to say about all kinds of food, clothing, housing and transportation, interests and hobbies. If you try to do something about planning, you will definitely have a lot of money. Then you will definitely get married in the future. You must buy land and build a house before getting married. I still live in a 1LDK with a monthly rent of 250,000 yen. After getting married, you will immediately work hard to earn money for your children's milk powder. If you get married with a child, the situation will be even more serious. If you give birth to a daughter, you must immediately start saving the dowry at the time of getting married. If your wife still wants to keep a pet, she must also consider the nutritional balance of the pet..." Ye Zhao turned his fingers seriously.
"If I continue, I'm leaving."
Ye Zhao made a gesture of zipping the mouth, "I won't say it."
...
After various preliminary preparations, at the end of May, the "Kinda Yi Youth Event Book" finally officially started.
The filming of Japanese dramas is basically carried out in order of the story, so on the first day of the filming, the content of the first episode "The Murder in Yirenguan Village". In theory, as the guest actor of the second episode, Ye Zhao should not have appeared on the set, but early that morning, he still came to a resort manor called Quanxiang in Higashimayama City, Saitama Prefecture, and watched the simple opening ceremony throughout the whole process.
As for the reason, of course, it was from the invitation of director Yukihiko Tori.
The shooting cycle of a Japanese drama will not exceed three months. Although the time seems to be quite relaxed based on the content of about ten episodes and fifty minutes per episode, this time seems to be quite relaxed, but this "looseness" does not include the director. As a director, not only must heal the live shooting throughout the process, but the post-production work must not be absent, so the overall workload is quite large.
This is also the reason why there is more than one director in Japanese dramas. In addition to making it easier to adjust the director's candidates based on ratings and other reasons, it is also because it is very difficult to be responsible for the same director and it is difficult to ensure the quality of the drama.
There is also an unreleased movie waiting for post-production, and only the first and second episodes of the TV series have been scheduled for the filming. In order to fulfill his previous promise to Ye Zhao, Yoshihiko Tatsu took the initiative to invite Ye Zhao to the set. In this way, he entered the set of a real Japanese drama for the first time in his life.
When Ye Zhao arrived in Quan Township, it was just dawn, but countless staff members were busy running around and starting to prepare. Not to mention the staff who were busy doing odd jobs and various extras, there were dozens of costume artists, props and makeup artists alone, plus lighting, photography, and equipment, there were almost a hundred staff members on the entire set.
However, even the advertisement he filmed used dozens of staff members. It was normal to send these people to the TV series, and it was even a bit shabby.
At the meeting, Yukihiko Tetsu, who was wearing a suit, changed into the legendary director's vest when he arrived on the set. When he saw him, Ye Zhao quickly greeted him: "Ti Sang, I'm really embarrassed, I'm going to cause trouble for you."
"In addition to watching the filming, Ye Jun can also take the opportunity to watch the actors' performances, which will be helpful for the subsequent official filming." Tsukiyohiko said.
"The filming time of TV series is very tight. There is a detailed itinerary for what to do every day. When going out for a scene like this, you must apply to the TV station in advance. During the shooting cycle of each episode, generally speaking, the time for going out for a scene cannot exceed three days, and the time for shooting for a studio is up to two days." During the shooting interval, Tsuki Yukihiko's assistant explained to Ye Zhao.
"In that case, you can make a TV series in about a week?"
"Yes, but for the first episode, it takes a little longer, because there are a lot of parts that need to be coordinated. After the shooting is completed, the post-production will take about two days." Speaking of this, the assistant added in an active tone, "The soundtrack provided by Ye Zhaosang will also play a role in the last two days."
"Kinda Ichiko Event Book" is not a big-produced TV series. This can be seen from the props on the scene and the cast. However, it is precisely because the budget is not that high and the rating pressure faced by the producers is not that strong, so the atmosphere on the set is also relatively harmonious.
Since the entire set announced the start of filming, even the axis rotation has been going on for a while. Ye Zhao pretended to be a semi-invisible person throughout the whole process. While minimizing his presence, he observed various details during the shooting throughout the process, carefully absorbing water like a sponge, even if it was just a little knowledge like a water drop.
The morning filming lasted until twelve o'clock. After the director called for a stop, the lunch break finally began. Lunch was a unified bento, the director team and the main actors ate roast pork bento, while ordinary staff ate rice bowl bento.
Ye Zhao, who suddenly came to disturb him, originally planned to treat him at noon, but considering that there were many older people in the crew, it was impolite to ask for a treat, so he asked Umura Yuki to prepare a considerable number of cookies for him the day before he arrived, and distributed them to the actors and staff when he first arrived on the set.
Thanks to Uemura Yuki for his rich experience and prepared hundreds of copies. If the number is not enough, it will not be a bit embarrassing.
Ye Zhao was having dinner with crew members such as Tsuki Yukihiko. Everyone had no habit of not talking about food, so they just ate and chatted casually. After dinner, when Ye Zhao was asking questions about some things he saw during the filming, Tomosaka Rie ran over with energy and showed a childish smile on Tsuki Yukihiko, "Ti Sang, I'll come to find Ye Zhao Sang."
Rie Tomosaka, who had already worked with SP, was very familiar with the crew members. Everyone was very tolerant and allowed him to take away his face. Ye Zhao, who had no expression on his face, but refused in his heart.
"San Tomosaka, is there anything wrong?" Ye Zhao asked after walking a short distance.
"Well," Rie Tomosaka, who was walking in front, turned around and smiled at him. "The lunch break is a bit boring. Gangjun and I plan to play the game of receiving the ball. Donggen Sasan will join after hearing this, but the three of us can't play, so I'll invite Ye Zhaosan."
"You are not an invitation, but a hostage..." Ye Zhao complained in a low voice.
Tomosaka Rie put her hand in her ear, "I heard nothing."
Tone Sakusan is about the actor Tone Sakusan who plays the first episode murderer Joe Odagiri. When Ye Showa Tomosaka Rie Ye came to the school stadium, he was just passing the ball back and forth with Domoto.
"It's so late!" Dongen Sasuyo, who is two years older than Ye Zhao, said to the two.
"It's already very fast, but I didn't even leave thirty seconds of thinking for Ye Zhaosang." Tomosaka Rie was proud.
Domoto was a little ashamed, "So, did you force Ye Zhaosang to come over?" He was wearing a high school uniform in the TV series and looked like an ordinary student at this time.
"That kind of thing doesn't matter!" Tomosaka Rie crossed her hands and made an exaggerated fork.
Dongen Satsuei also spoke, "Start quickly, if you continue chatting like this, the lunch break will be over."
...
There is an unwritten rule at the filming site of the Japanese drama, that is, when filming starts, the actors who play the leading role will invite the actors in the crew to dinner. However, when the actors who play the leading role are very young, this rule must be changed accordingly. After all, it is a bit rude to make a group of senior actors who are just over 16 or 17 years old and say to a group of senior actors who are over 10 or 20 years older than him, "I'll treat you today!".
