Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 126 126. Unanimous vote
The audition studio was in Yoyogi, not far from the hotel where the girls were staying.

When Shinichi Iwahashi drove, the Japanese staff did not accompany him, but a staff member who came from Rabbit Country accompanied him.In this way, it is a bit strange that the car has become a scene where all the communication is in Mandarin.

On the way to the recording studio, Shinichi Iwahashi chatted with the girls.

When it comes to girls, the girl named Wang Xiaofang, who has short hair that is neither too long nor too embarrassingly long, has almost finished talking.This girl is very talkative, she asks questions generously when she thinks of something, her brain is quick and easy to use.After talking a few words, she reported her family background, saying that she was originally a Yangqin learner, and she became a monk halfway and started playing drums.

Shan Yanqiao Shinichi was not surprised.

The musicians of the art troupe have the basics of music and learn musical instruments quickly. In addition, they have many opportunities to get in touch with musical instruments and new music. Here, you can still sprout.

Cui Jian, who Lian Yanqiao Shenyi is most familiar with, was born as a trumpet player.At the beginning, he formed a band called Qiplywood, and Qing Yishuier, a member of the band, was from an art troupe or something.

Speaking of it, the seeds of rock and roll first germinated here, among the employees of the iron rice bowl and the children of the big courtyard, and it seems that the fate of Rabbit Country Rock and Roll dances in shackles.

When Wang Xiaofang was in the Rabbit Country, she made good friends with the Aris band. This band mainly sings covers of Japanese band songs, so she is quite confident and feels that she knows a lot about Japanese music. However, chatting After a few words, I found that it was not the case.

"Alice has already disbanded?"

"Yes, but both Mr. Tanimura Shinji and Mr. Horiuchi Takao continue to release records as solo singers."

"Is Off Course not popular anymore?"

"It's not that it's not popular, it's entering a stable period. Moreover, the band's guitarist Mr. Suzuki Yasuhiro withdrew from the band a few years ago, and since then, the band's activities have decreased."

One by one, Wang Xiaofang popped out the names of the bands that were popular in Japan in the 80s and [-]s, and the answers they got were either disbanded, dead, or they couldn't be called bands at all.

Wang Xiaofang was chatting, feeling a little discouraged. If this is the case, Aris and the rest of the cover bands in China have been making music that has been eliminated by others?
When she was chatting with Yanqiao Shenyi in full swing, Xiao Nan had been quietly listening to the two of them, occasionally making a few sentences and asking questions about what she was curious about, but most of the time he acted very calm, and had a kind of strange relationship with Wang Xiaofang. With a sense of complementarity, Yanqiao Shinichi felt that there was a word to describe her graceful appearance: general demeanor.

The other two girls who came together were almost completely attracted by the street scene passing by outside the car window. For a moment, they forgot their purpose of coming, and looked through the car window without blinking their eyes like pure tourists. looking out the window.

This is a very strange world, with the turbulent traffic, the steel and iron frame of the big city, and the non-stop pedestrians, there is even a sense of oppression.

It used to exist in TV sets and broadcast radios, and in the vivid descriptions of people who returned from here.Now, it has become a "reality" right in front of our eyes.

The feasting and feasting in Tokyo made them curious.Curiosity about this strange world overcame the sense of mission to come here to perform.

……

When they arrived at the recording studio, Yanqiao Shinichi greeted them and led them to the reserved recording room.

Compared with the recording studio in Laohou in Beijing, which is always full of the smell of smoke and various foods, and the sound-absorbing panels are yellowed by smoke, this recording studio looks clean and dignified.

After entering, Xiao Nan, who was appraised by Yan Qiao Shenyi in his heart as a general, looked at all this from the perspective of a layman, not caring at all whether he would be treated as a bumpkin, and neither looked highly at it nor acted like it. impatient.

On the contrary, Wang Xiaofang, who was full of energy in the car just now, suddenly showed a little timidity.

She was not afraid of Tokyo, a modern metropolis, or a foreign country away from home, but she suddenly felt a little flustered when faced with the top recording equipment.

Like a candidate who is about to sit in the examination room.

Yanqiao Shen was very impressed with the two girls, Wang Xiaofang and Xiao Nan.

"Horio-san, I brought everyone here." Shinichi Iwahashi greeted the sound engineer.

The four girls didn't understand Japanese, and the sound engineer naturally didn't understand Chinese, so Shinichi Iwahashi and the Japanese-speaking staff member who accompanied him acted as translators.

He has his own band, and used to go to the recording studio to make demos and so on. Although the relevant experience is not that rich, it is enough.

The sound engineer was worried that there would be poor communication when some professional things were involved. When the communication started, I found that Shinichi Iwahashi knew almost everything. Show off your absolute pitch to the point that the sound engineer will impress him.

Good guy, not only is he good at being a manager, but he's also good at recording in the recording studio.

As everyone knows, this is a question from the staff in the recording studio when I was in the recording studio with Meihejiang.Since he intends to eat this bowl of rice, he must make a lot of effort.

Ever since he formed a team with Meihejiang, he felt that he had turned into a sponge that couldn't be fed enough, and wanted to learn everything.

During the audition, the sound engineer surnamed Horio even simply gave Iwahashi Shin a monitor earphone, and the two partnered in the studio.In this situation, if Mayumi Watanabe saw it, it would have to be said that his lottery wheel had not turned to the empty prize.

After the first sound audition, Iwahashi Shinichi was a little surprised.

It's not that these four girls have shown any strong strength, but Yanqiao Shen once thought that this is a temporary team, and if he can perform this way, he can at least score around [-]%.

However, surprises are surprises, and the faults that need to be pointed out still have to be pointed out.

The sound engineer told the question to Iwahashi Shinichi, and when Iwahashi Shinichi relayed it, he added his own opinion, and then made corresponding suggestions here, which is roughly the process.

Tonight's audition came a total of six times.

Every time it ends, there is a gap for suggestions, and then adjustments will be made next time.

In cross-border cooperation, the necessary communication is the most important, and the people who shoulder the task of communication are the most important.Because we not only need to consider how to communicate ideas, but also ensure that there are no misunderstandings in communication.

From this point of view, Iwahashi Shinichi is an excellent candidate.

However, at the end of the audition, he noticed that the chattering girl Wang Xiaofang had lost her momentum.

When she came to Tokyo and saw such a colorful world that she had never seen before, Wang Xiaofang didn't feel that she was at a disadvantage.However, the meaning of today's audition is different. She saw her own huge shortcomings in music. The problems pointed out by Shinichi Iwahashi and the sound engineer on the opposite side were all on point, but she didn't have enough time to make up for it. ——

In two days, the music festival will start.

Wang Xiaofang felt that she was a student who found out that she was not prepared enough when she went to the examination room.

Yanqiao Shen saw this change in his eyes and didn't make a sound.

……

After the sound test, the four girls led by Yanqiao Shen, plus the sound engineer and accompanying staff, went to eat something together—anyway, they received the entertainment fee, so it doesn't hurt to be generous.

The money you don't have to pay out of your own pocket is extraordinarily generous.

After eating, Xiao Nan suddenly asked Shinichi Iwahashi: "Mr. Iwahashi, where is there a video store in Tokyo?"

"Tomorrow afternoon there will be a half-day event, I want to go and see what kind of songs are popular in Japan now." Xiao Nan said.

When I came here, I sat in the car and listened to the chat between Wang Xiaofang and Yanqiao Shinichi. Every Japanese band Wang Xiaofang mentioned was outdated, which made Xiao Nan realize that Japanese music, or the music of the world, has moved forward. took a chunk.

When you are in China, by the time you can get in touch with foreign music, it is often already lagging behind their popularity by a large margin.Now that he came to Tokyo this time, Xiao Nan thought, he couldn't let go of this opportunity to get in touch with real fashion directly.

This reminded Wang Xiaofang, and she also raised her hand in agreement, "Mr. Yanqiao, I want to see it too."

The other two girls were a little hesitant. When they were in China, they heard that Shinjuku was the most prosperous place in Tokyo and wanted to go shopping. However, the two core members of the band proposed to go to the record store. In a state of unwillingness to agree but also unwilling to accept.

When Shinji Iwahashi proposed to Watanabe Wanyumi to invite musicians from Rabbit Country, he mentioned that he wanted them to bring back the fire of rock and roll.

But now, Wang Xiaofang and Xiao Nan's proposal fit right into his hands.There is nothing better than hearing it with your own ears.

"Okay." Yanqiao Shinichi agreed, "Tomorrow afternoon, I will accompany you to the record store."

After sending the girls back to the hotel, Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it, and then called Haruko Akamatsu.

Her band didn't perform tonight, and Akamatsu Haruko went to support other bands as usual, but she didn't hear it, so she contacted Iwahashi Shinichi again very late.

The two were talking on the phone.

"Today I accompanied the musicians from Rabbit Country to the recording studio to audition, and I also played a guest role as a producer." Yanqiao Shinichi said, "I just sent them back."

"I heard the program on the radio. I know you have invited a band from Rabbit Country to perform."

"Akasong-san learned the literature of Rabbit Country, so, can he also speak Chinese?" Shinichi Yanqiao asked a somewhat idiot question.

Akamatsu Haruko replied: "It is necessary to learn, there is a class called 'Public Chinese'...But, in fact, many major students have studied Chinese for two or three years and can understand it, but they can't speak it well. "

"Dumb Chinese" that's it.

"I see."

Yanqiao Shinichi was a little disappointed, so he asked casually, "What about Akasong-san?"

"It seems to be able to read and speak a little bit." As a result, Akamatsu Haruko replied.As soon as Yanqiao Shen knew her, she had always been humble, leaving a little room for everything, and if she could say "say something", it was okay.

"Really?" Yanqiao Shen said to her, "Actually, I want to say, if Akamatsu-san's Chinese is not bad, I will ask you tomorrow."

"Is there a problem?"

"I would like to ask you to take two girls from the Rabbit Country for a stroll." Yanqiao Shinichi said.

Since the two girls are hesitant, it doesn't matter if the soldiers split into two groups.After telling the matter to Akamatsu Haruko, she thought for a while, "If it's just a guide for shopping, maybe I can give it a try."

"So, how about I contact you tomorrow afternoon?" This sentence is in Chinese.

Akamatsu Haruko froze on the other end of the phone.After reacting for a while, he slowly said in Japanese-style Chinese: "Do you understand Chinese?"...and he spoke so well.

Yanqiao Shinichi heard her speak Chinese for the first time, and thought her accent was very cute, so he couldn't help laughing.

……

Early the next morning, Iwahashi Shinichi went to the hotel to pick him up to the recording studio.

The music festival is approaching, so he temporarily puts down Mori Shinichi's schedule and concentrates on preparations.As for Mori Shinichi, the other personal agent worked overtime to turn the alternate-day system into a full-time system.

The practice lasted until noon. Shen Yanqiao had said it early in the morning, and found a guide for them to go shopping with them. The two girls also regained their energy. They felt that Mr. Yanqiao, who was young, was really considerate.

After dinner, Iwahashi Shinichi took the four girls to find a cafe to sit for a while, and then borrowed the phone from the shop to call Akamatsu Haruko.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, Akamatsu Haruko came.

Seeing her, the four girls were quite surprised. They didn't expect Yanqiao Shenyi to find such a beautiful woman when he said he was looking for a shopping guide.

"Mr. Yanqiao, isn't she an actress of your company?" Wang Xiaofang spoke quickly and asked for the two girls first.

Yanqiao Shen smiled and said: "If she wants to be an actress, I will definitely sign her without a second thought."

Akamatsu Haruko probably understood the conversation, but she just smiled and greeted the four girls, "Hi, I'm Akamatsu Haruko."

"Miss Chimatsu is a student of Waseda's Chinese Department." Shinichi Iwahashi introduced her, and after the introduction, he entrusted the two girls to her.

Afterwards, the two sides split into two groups. Yanqiao Shenyi took Wang Xiaofang and Xiao Nan to the record store, introduced them to the popular bands and popular styles, and led them to the floor dedicated to selling records imported from Europe and America to try them out.

This is fresh first-hand information. The two girls are swimming in the ocean of records like ducks in water.I took the two girls to the record store for a few hours, and when the lights first came on, the two met at the restaurant we had agreed upon.

Yanqiao Shenben thought that the record team he led would be one step ahead, but when they arrived, Akamatsu Haruko had already taken the shopping team to occupy a good seat in the store.

The three of them chatted happily, and it seems that they had a good time this afternoon.

Yanqiao Shinichi was worried that Akamatsu Haruko would be busy at night, so he asked her if she had other arrangements. After thinking about it, she replied: "I originally wanted to go to the show, but it's okay not to go."

"What good band did you find this time?" Yanqiao Shinichi was curious.

"A punk band called THE BLUE HEARTS, I heard it's very unique." Haruko Akamatsu hasn't seen it yet.

Yanqiao Shinichi thought for a while, "You don't mind having a few more companions, do you?"

"Of course." Akamatsu Haruko understood.

Iwahashi Shinichi asked the four girls for their opinions, "I'll call the hotel, and then, how about inviting the four of you to go to the show together? Go to the LIVEHOUSE."

This time the opinions were quite unanimous and passed unanimously.
