Poverty story after Tokyo actress

"...It seems that singing is a bit too high..." Makoto muttered in a low voice with a blushing face.

Jiang Bai also responded softly: "It's true that the voice is a bit loud...but... Zhenqin, it's really nice to sing, and it really deserves to be a vocal music student."

"Uh~hee, it's good that you know~"

Chapter 97 Makoto's birthday present

Recently, Jiang Bai discovered that since Zhenqin visited Liuli's house last time, she has been addicted to K songs and can't extricate herself. She even brought back the electric guitar and bass used for music at home, and came back from the Conan crew every day. You can hear the passionate music of Makoto playing the bass.

Jiang Bai, who was extremely curious, asked him: "Zhenqin, are you planning to play music again? Are you planning to make a new debut?"

"No, it's just a sudden whim~"

Naturally, Jiang Bai doesn't believe this kind of answer. Although this girl said that her behavior is self-willed, she always has her reasons for doing things. To put it bluntly, there must be reasons for whim.

"Then why the whim?"

"Hey~ A whim is a whim, so why?" Zhenqin replied to Jiang Bai without any fluctuations in her face, making her unable to see any problems for a while.

Looking at Zhenqin's eyes that seem to have no other emotions, Jiang Bai, who can't see why, can only do it. Forget it, she can do whatever she likes...

Seeing that Jiang Bai didn't seem to be aware of his own thoughts, Zhenqin couldn't help but feel happy, hahaha, I'm sorry, Jiang Bai, it's time for me to betray you this time~

"By the way, Jiang Bai, what do you want to hear? I can sing it to you~"

"Huh? Well, let's go to "Modern Love" by David Bowie."

"Okay~"

In the days that followed, Jiang Bai's life gradually returned to normal. During the day, he worked as a director for Conan's production team and directed filming. At night, he cooked for Zhenqin and listened to Zhenqin singing to himself.

And Jiang Bai thought that Zhenqin would be popular for 3 minutes, but unexpectedly, this kind of life lasted for almost a week, and she seemed to be addicted to playing music, which even made Jiang Bai wonder if she didn't want to engage in performances and planned to switch to music .

However, of course, Zhenqin would not have such an idea, because all this is the preparation for Jiang Bai's birthday.

From the moment when Miyano Liuli's suggestion made Zhenqin Maosai suddenly enlightened, Zhenqin already had an idea of ​​how to surprise Jiang Bai in his heart.

Liuli said that she can surprise the one she loves with what she is good at, and besides acting, Makoto only has music.What's more, the acting skills are not as good as Jiang Bai, so if you exclude it, there is only music.

In this way, a wonderful attention emerges from Zhenqin's heart, as long as it can be achieved, it will definitely give Jiang Bai a great surprise!

And before that, she was going to find someone...

"Ding dong..." Zhenqin looked at the address in her hand, and thought in her heart: It should be right here.

As the doorbell rang, a capable and agile woman with short haircut opened the door. The woman seemed to be in her 30s, but the agility and free and easy personality in her eyes made this person seem to be in her twenties. old vitality.

"Ah, welcome, you are Ms. Hoshino Makoto, right? Come in!" The woman greeted Makoto warmly, and led her into her room.

As soon as I entered the room, all kinds of top-level musical instruments and electronic synthesizers were regularly placed in the empty hall. The rich three generations of real pianos from top brands were a little surprised. Compared with the few basses he knows, he is as poor as a poor man.

"Hahaha, please sit down, this is the first meeting, right? Ms. Makoto?" Sitting comfortably in her seat, the woman invited Makoto to also take a seat. It should take a second look.

Sure enough, is she worthy of being the top talented woman in the industry?This talent and confidence...

"Hello, Ms. Yoko Kanno. It's indeed the first time we meet, so I'm sorry to bother you."

That's right, the woman Makoto came to visit was none other than Yoko Kanno, who Jiang Bai said was her favorite Japanese musician, the most famous and talented female musician in the Japanese music industry.

"Khan, there's nothing to bother you. In the past few years, I have taken a lot less work. I usually have a lot of free time. Occasionally someone comes to visit me. I wish for it. What's more, I am the eldest lady of the Hoshino Consortium."

Yoko Kanno said, got up and made a cup of tea for Makoto, brought it to Makoto, then sat down here again, and continued to ask Makoto: "Then, I don't know why Ms. Hoshino is looking for me, a soundtrack artist who has quit the industry a little bit. ?”

When it came to the topic, Makoto couldn't help straightening her body, looked at Yoko Kanno in front of her, and said to him with a hint of pleading: "I, I hope Yoko Kanno can write two songs for me..."

After saying this request, Kanno Yoko's face didn't change much. After all, it's a matter of course. What else can I ask for from the soundtrack artist?Of course, please write songs.

And Yoko Kanno did not immediately agree, but said: "Well...Actually, I have listened to the albums you released, Ms. Hoshino."

"Eh?"

Makoto couldn't help being taken aback, she didn't expect Yoko Kanno to suddenly mention this matter, and, looking at the appearance of this music tycoon, she had actually heard those songs she released... Suddenly, Makoto felt like It was as if the black history was discovered, and he couldn't help but panic.

She quickly asked: "That, that...Miss Kanno Yoko... What do you think of my songs...?"

Seeing Makoto's nervous appearance, Yoko Kanno couldn't help laughing, and said, "Hahaha, don't be so nervous, I won't eat you, Miss Makoto. How about those hands, avant-garde electronics, hardcore rock, Metal rock, I'm actually quite surprised that Ms. Hoshino would like these styles."

"It's hard to imagine that a girl like you has the guts to release an album of that style. Everyone in the industry says I'm the most free female musician. If you ask me, I'm nothing. Ms. Hoshino is you, hahaha ..."

Makoto couldn't help but smile at Yoko Kanno's ridicule, and she said a little embarrassedly: "Well, when I was young, I was more ostentatious and liked to play with something different. Now that I think about it, I was really like a Like a goat with no brains to go around..."

"No, no, no, this is not publicity, this is the vitality that young people should have! That's how I came here back then. That's why I have such a changeable style now."

Yoko Kanno laughed and praised Makoto, but then changed the subject and asked Makoto, "Actually, after listening to your songs, I was surprised that you asked me to write songs."

"Because according to your previous style, you should be more suitable to find Mr. Ryuichi Sakamoto, Susumu Hirasawa, Toshi Ishii or Kuniaki Oishima with strong personal style to write songs for yourself. I personally think that my style It doesn't really suit you."

"However, if I'm really asked to write avant-garde electronics or hard music, well~ Although I haven't tried it, but there is a first time for everything, I don't mind giving it a try~ Of course, I can't guarantee the quality~"

Speaking of Yoko Kanno, she smiled slightly, saying that she would not guarantee the quality, but the confidence shown in that calm smile seemed to tell Makoto, I will definitely satisfy you with my shot!

Is this the confidence and calmness of a boss?Makoto couldn't help but smiled wryly, and quickly explained: "No, no, Miss Kanno, you misunderstood, I didn't ask you to write about my previous style..."

"Uh, actually, the reason I'm looking for you is because my friend likes your music very much. Her birthday is coming soon, and I'm going to... ask you to write a song and sing it to her as her birthday present... "

For this reason, Yoko Kanno couldn’t handle it anymore. She has seen countless parties who asked her to make music, some for manga dramas, some for Dahe dramas, some for movies, and even animation soundtracks, game soundtracks Also, on a more personal level, writing album songs for others...

But this was the first time she met a party A with such a request. Her friend was going to celebrate her birthday. In order to prepare a gift for her, she specially asked her friend's favorite composer to write a song?Good guy, is this the brain circuit of the wealthy young lady?

What a... what a... what a... what a fucking genius idea!

When she came back to her senses, Yoko Kanno couldn't help but brighten up!Most of the party A I came into contact with before came for the fame of her soundtrack. In their eyes, their own soundtrack is more material benefits than musical meaning.

At the moment, Makoto, who is looking for her own songwriting, is actually to give her friend who likes her music a birthday surprise. Although this behavior is so small and even a little funny, it is the behavior that Yoko Kanno admires the most. Isn’t making music by yourself Is it the purest joy to give to those who love their own music, who love their own music?

To respond to the purest love for my own music...

So, without any hesitation, Yoko Kanno replied directly: "Okay, I understand! I will take this music."

"Oh, okay...huh? I agree?" Such an unhesitating answer made Makoto unable to deal with it. She thought that no matter how bold Yoko Kanno was, she would ask more questions, but the reality was Yoko Kanno. I agreed without asking too much!

"Hmm~ Isn't it natural to make music for fans who love your own music~ What's more, Ms. Hoshino, you are the eldest lady of the Hoshino Foundation. I believe that my salary will not be less. Why not do it?" Yoko Kanno shrugged , replied with a chic smile.

Listening to Kanno Yoko's confident and self-willed words, Makoto Hoshino couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, feeling... the music boss in front of him is like him in character!

"That's good! Happy cooperation! Ms. Yoko Kanno!"

"Happy cooperation! Ms. Hoshino." The two shook hands with each other, and then Yoko Kanno continued to ask: "So, what are your requirements for your song, Ms. Hoshino? What is the theme?"

When it came to the theme of the song, Makoto Hoshino's words began to get stuck. After all, this question reminded her inexplicably of those evil reading questions, the question about explaining the theme of the article.

For a while, she stammered and replied: "Well... I... hope, um... Ms. Kanno, you can make two songs for me. The theme of one... is friends. Um... I hope I can show That kind of feeling... between bosom friend and friend... supporting each other and going to the future together."

"I... I met at the best time. At that time, I was confused and confused. I wanted to go to the stage I was looking forward to, but I didn't know how to go. Everyone was telling me to recognize the reality , when you can't do it... She grabbed me and said to me, follow me, I will take you, I will accompany you, I can let you go..."

I don't know if it's because I have done too many reading questions. Makoto obviously felt that her speech became smoother and smoother. From the stuttering at the beginning, she began to analyze her mentality and emotional changes at that time.

If it was her former self, she would definitely not be able to say so much. At that moment, she felt like her mouth was opened, and she couldn't stop every sentence, constantly expressing her feelings for Jiang Bai.

After she had been talking for several minutes, she finally had no more ink to continue speaking, so she stopped her words, and after she finished speaking, a hearty sense of pleasure rushed straight to her forehead.

She seems to understand, no wonder Jiang Bai likes long speeches so much, it turns out that it is such a fun feeling to pour out such a long list of words in one breath!

While listening to Makoto speak a few minutes of lyrical prose words in one breath, Yoko Kanno looked at Makoto in surprise, and said: "Didn't you expect Miss Makoto to have such a high literary quality? It really opened my eyes. Listen to you With these words, I already have some direction.”

"It seems that Miss Makoto cherishes that friend of yours very much. If you can say so many things from your heart, if you "Well, since there are two songs, what theme do you plan to use for the other song?" "

Hearing Yoko Kanno's ridicule, Makoto couldn't help but blushed, and said with some embarrassment: "Well...Actually...the second song...my idea...the theme...is love..."

"..."

Immediately, Yoko Kanno's smile froze, and for a while, an atmosphere of embarrassment and embarrassment arose between the two of them. She still held a trace of luck and asked, "Love...is...for whom?"

"That's right, my...that friend..."

"...Sorry, I said something wrong just now..."

"It's ok……"

Chapter 98 Interview with producer's thoughts

Jiang Bai is naturally ignorant of Zhenqin's little tricks. She has been focusing on the crew for the past few days, and as the first part of the casino suicide case is about to start broadcasting, Jiang Bai is watching the sample again and again, looking for any Areas for improvement.

"Mr. Morishita, you are a screenwriter, do you think there is anything that can be improved?" Jiang Bai looked at the sample while holding his chin, and asked Morishita.

On the other hand, Morishita pinched the bridge of his nose, relieved some sore eyes, and said, "Tsk... ah... I don't have any ideas... I feel that Miss Miyano is a bit too demanding..."

The staff who went to him to accompany Jiang Bai to watch the samples couldn't help but nodded and agreed with Morishita's statement. Watching the samples was originally a very relaxing and cheerful thing. After all, everyone came to enjoy the finished film after a few weeks of hard work. That sense of satisfaction.

However, after Jiang Bai asked everyone to come over, he actually came to do a seminar, brainstorming to see if there is anything that needs to be changed... This... the samples are all finalized, but he still wants to change it, although the former director Yoshioka is quite perfunctory. Okay, but Jiang Bai's cautiousness is too much.

In fact, Jiang Bai himself knows that this is very strict, but there is no way. To be precise, this episode of Conan is his directorial debut in the true sense. She is not at ease if she is not cautious!

In fact, she herself can no longer see any flaws, but who wouldn't want her work to be better?That's why I asked everyone to brainstorm, but everyone didn't seem to have any ideas for improvement, so Jiang Bai could only give up.

"Hey... tsk, it's mainly because I don't have much confidence..." Jiang Bai sighed helplessly. She has watched the 10-minute samples ten times, and she also changed a lot of places in the middle. Produce this final sample and send it to everyone to watch.

As for directing, she doesn't have as much experience as an actor. Although she has been exposed to it for many years, she has no idea about the quality of her finished film for the first time, and she is a little entangled when watching it by herself.

There are four or five shooting shots in one content, but she has no idea which shot is better.

She had thought about imitating the camera styles of some movie masters, after all, borrowing from the master's techniques was at least better than messing around with a rookie like herself.However, Jiang Bai has been obsessed with film and television for many years. After he really got started, he found that the biggest problem is not whether he can imitate, but which one to imitate.

If you really want to imitate, Jiang Bai is really not afraid. After all, if you study this thing more, you can shoot a seven-to-eight-point charm. However, with so many masters' lens styles, which one is more suitable is really difficult for Jiang Bai.

So in the end, Jiang Bai still relied on his instinct and intuition to arrange the shots.

To be honest, it is really worthwhile to visit the old man. After all, most directors in the industry are only responsible for shooting the material, and there are other people who edit the material.Being able to let Jiang Bai participate in the editing, it can be said that the producer really gave all the rights to himself, an outsider.

From this point of view, interviewing this old producer is really a rare enlightenment.

Regarding this point, Wangqu admitted that he actually had a gambling element. When Jiang Bai said that he wanted to participate in the editing, Wangqu was hesitant, but he thought about it carefully. She must have a good relationship. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

At the same time, Jiang Bai would lose an episode of Conan's reputation even if he cut it randomly, but Conan has already penetrated the center of the earth, so what else can he lose if he loses his reputation?Losing an episode of innocuous word-of-mouth, Jiang Bai's favor, this is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see is a steady profit.

And, what if, Jiang Bai really has the ability to edit?With word of mouth and favor, it's a direct win-win!I won twice directly, and I made a lot of money!

But now sitting in the auditorium, after watching the completed film of the previous part, the smile on his face never stopped.Because... the quality really made him overjoyed, the quality of this film is completely comparable to the theatrical version!

What's more, what I'm talking about here is not the quality of the plot, but the quality of the picture. The quality of the picture here doesn't just include the emotion of the picture, but everything from the way of obedience to the color matching of the picture. The exquisiteness really amazes Fangqi.

And this kind of delicacy is different from the superficial gorgeousness of the theater version. The special effects and rendering TV of the theater version are naturally without money, but Jiang Bai uses a special method to make the picture look It looks more refined.

That is to use a dark yellow tone to render the picture. According to Jiang Bai himself, the bright color rendering will make the details of the picture look like plastic, and the dark yellow tone can not only blur the details of the picture, but also Make the picture appear thicker.

Although I have heard of this method, I have never really experienced it. I didn't expect it to be used by this young actress.

Although it is said that the picture quality of the finished film is greatly torn from the previous Conan style, but from the results point of view, the tearing is torn, at least, it looks good!

So, Wenqu stepped forward with satisfaction and patted Jiang Bai's shoulder to comfort him: "Miss Miyano, it's not that we can't think of any way to improve it, but that your finished film is perfect, and we can't find any flaws. Flaws, so don't worry."

Regarding his relief, Jiang Bai could only nod his head lightly, and let it go. Although he still had no idea in his heart, he couldn't find any members who could find problems for her in terms of the quality of the current crew members.

"Hey, I have no idea. After all, I can only be regarded as half a director. Although it seems that the film is not bad, but I can only send some non-professional amateurs..." Jiang Bai muttered distressedly .

The pictures and camera editing of her entire episode were basically copied from one big guy to the other, and another big guy from the west. Although the results made me feel that there was no problem, as long as anyone who understands can basically see The choreography of this entire episode is a stitch monster.

But this kind of worry caused Morishita on one side to raise his eyebrows. He rubbed his chin and said with some doubts: "But...we shoot this thing, isn't it just for the audience? Those audiences...but the audience, don't they all Is it an amateur?"

"...Eh, that's right..."

Morishita's words made Jiang Bai suddenly come back to his senses. That's right, I took a picture of Conan for fans to see, and I didn't ask the judges of the film festival to appreciate it. What kind of professional is there?

Suddenly, Jiang Bai couldn't help laughing at himself. It's true that I've been thinking about the three major film festivals for the past few days, and I'm almost in a daze. I forgot that I was just filming Conan, not some world. masterpiece...

Jiang Bai couldn't help but smiled wryly on his forehead, and said apologetically: "Hahaha, sorry everyone, I'm a little too nervous, and I'm a little too demanding."

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, it's a good thing to have pursuit. As far as the quality of the film is concerned, even if it's a theatrical version, few dare to challenge it. Once this episode is released, it will definitely recast Conan's glory!"

With the confidence of high-quality episodes, the access is smooth for the whole person, and he pointed to the picture on the screen and shouted proudly.The speech of the Second Second made the staff of the crew behind Jiang Bai also respond.

Looking at the high morale of the crew, Jiang Bai couldn't help but smile knowingly.

At the end of the day's work, Jiang Bai packed up his things and was about to leave the crew. Just as he was about to leave, Mr. Wenqi suddenly followed up and stopped Jiang Bai: "Miss Miyano, can you wait?"

"Huh? What's the matter? Interview with the producer? Any questions?"

The interview seemed a bit unspeakable, and asked Jiang Bai to come to the dark place, and then he said: "Well, it's like this, Miss Jiang Bai, you must watch, the shooting of the suicide case in the casino is coming to an end...About the signing..."

Looking at Wang Qu's obviously a little hard to speak, Jiang Bai immediately understood what he meant. As Jiang Bai expected, Fang Qu should be worried about the content of his contract. After filming the episode and leaving the director's position, Conan episode quality.

But... Jiang Bai can't help this problem, he is not bound to Conan's crew, he just came to play a role to eat Conan's traffic, it is definitely impossible to bind himself to Conan.
