Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

"Woo... I want to eat the food cooked by Hong Xia..."

"It's no good to pretend... to be pitiful! Well... forget it, it's just today!"

"Hongxia, the best."

Unable to refuse Yamada Ryo's coquettishness, Ichichi Hikaru accepted her rude request.

"I also want to cook for Senior Ryo!" Kita was very annoyed.

Why can't I cook by myself...

Looking at the noisy girls, Kotobuki Hikaru suddenly felt that his sleeve was being pulled.

"Ok?"

"Speaking of which...how do you eat alone at home?"

Goto Ichiri was suddenly curious.

I had never paid attention to this before, but it was certain that Kotobuki Mitsuru couldn't cook at all.

"Well... let's take out or eat out... There are also bento boxes put in advance in the refrigerator, just heat them up and they'll be ready."

"This is very unhealthy!"

Goto Ichiri's expression changed and he nodded very seriously.

Then his cheeks turned slightly red, and he mustered up the courage to approach Kotobuki Hikaru's ear.

"I can make dinner for Hikaru...if you want...it doesn't matter if I get home later..."

"?!"

Kotobuki Hikaru was about to speak, but the girl's voice immediately sounded in his ears again.

"But it will take a while..."

Kotobuki Hikaru's brain fell into a sluggish state.

Then, under his gaze, the four girls in the band said a brief goodbye to him and left in the direction of the station.

When leaving, Goto Ichiri gave himself a startling glance.

"Wait a moment...what do you mean..."

Kotobukimitsu swallowed.

It's very cold outside, and I'm not wearing a coat now. After all, I'm just seeing him off, and I only have a thin piece of home clothes on me.

But he did not leave, but waited quietly at the gate.

It's been a long time.

I first saw a long shadow on the dim street, and then heard slightly hasty footsteps.

"Hoo...hoo...."

Goto Ichiri, who was running at a trot, returned to the door with red cheeks.

"One mile?"

Kotobuki Hikaru suppressed the surprise in his heart and tried to remain calm.

"Then...that...I told everyone that I forgot my mobile phone in the recording studio..." Goto Kazuri said awkwardly. "Let everyone go back first..."

"Well... this is just an excuse, right?" Kotobuki Hikari smiled and teased.

"Well...of course I'm here to make dinner for Hikari." Goto Ichiri responded with a blush on his face.

"There's no need to hide this kind of thing from everyone, right? Just tell Hongxia and the others directly?"

However, Goto Issato twisted his body and slowly opened his mouth to explain in embarrassment.

"Although that's the case... I'm a little afraid that if I say this... everyone will stay..."

Kotobukiko was confused for a moment.

"It's just making dinner. It's okay for everyone to stay. It's not something shameful..."

But mid-sentence, he suddenly stopped.

Yili will hide it from everyone... It's definitely not just that he doesn't want everyone to eat the dinner he cooked...

Shameless, indeed shameful.

There were no words to follow.

Surrounded by a shy atmosphere, the two of them returned to the mansion.

Chapter 2 The first pot of gold

Zilazila...

The air is filled with the sizzling sound of grease sizzling on a black baking pan, and the mouth-watering aroma of barbecue.

In a crowded barbecue restaurant, the five-member band and the producer sat in a booth, enjoying barbecue.

Through the ventilation window, you can see the red sunset outside the window.

There's nothing better than a bracing barbecue on a cold day.

"I'm treating you today. Order whatever you want, everyone."

If it were in the past, the person who said this would usually be Kotobuki Mitsuru, a big dog.

But today it was a different person who said this.

Maezawa sat at the main seat at the edge of the long table and patted the menu on the table with a proud face.

"Really...really?!" Yi Jihongxia said in surprise. "Mr. Producer...this is too expensive."

"I want to order Wagyu beef." Yamada Ryo opened the menu and pointed to the store recommendation on the first page.

"It's okay. As a senior in the industry, it's your duty to have dinner and treat guests with your juniors." Maezawa said confidently without batting an eye.

Although this is just a bad habit in the workplace, it should be abandoned.

"After all, you have been working hard on recording recently."

Several people who were physically and mentally exhausted from the continuous recording suddenly regained their strength.

A week has passed since recording began.

Because we usually have to go to school and work in a livehouse after school, we hardly have time to go to the recording studio during workdays. It took us five days to take turns to record a song.

Therefore, in order to finish recording the band's album, Maezawa, an office worker, has been working overtime for two consecutive weeks.

If it's hard work, he should be the one who has the hardest time.

When Yi Ji knew that Xing Ge knew that several people were recording an album, he said that he would stop working at his recent part-time job and concentrate on doing his own thing. However, Hong Xia, who knew Xing Ge's temper well, still chose to go to the live house to help after school.

This guy is also a hopeless sister-controller.

"The recording of the album isn't over yet... Why did Mr. Maezawa suddenly treat me to a guest? Is there any good thing?" Kotobuki Mitsuru asked curiously.

"Of course it's a good thing."

Maezawa mysteriously took out a black leather handbag from behind.

Then, he slowly took out two stacks of ten thousand yuan bills from his handbag.

"This... this is?!"

Ichichi Hongxia, who had just picked up the barbecue, didn't hold it properly, and the barbecue on the chopsticks fell to the table.

"This is your reward."

wow...

The banknote was pushed from in front of Maezawa to a position near the center of the table.

The girls held their breath. They were still in high school and had never seen so much money...

"Our album hasn't started selling yet..." Finally, Ichichi Hongxia raised doubts.

But Maezawa just showed a strange expression and said in a strange manner. "You guys...have you even forgotten about making money?!"

Then, he sighed and slowly explained. "It's the one I mentioned last week. The music director of the animation knew me well. Knowing that I was responsible for recording your album, he shamelessly came over and begged me to use your song as the opening theme of the animation."

"Oh...I remember..." Yiji Zhihongxia smiled coquettishly. "I didn't expect that there would be a reward for this..."

"Reward for work, equal exchange, these are the rules of the adult world. If the other party gets nothing, not even remuneration, how could I agree?"

Although Maezawa said it lightly, from the dark circles under his eyes caused by accumulated fatigue and the smell of alcohol all over his body in the past few days, you can know that this is not a simple matter.

Begging shamelessly...

I really don’t know who is asking whom.

After all, generally speaking, the soundtrack used in animations is basically decided by the music director of the animation company, and the composers are basically members of the production team.

It was really against common sense to suddenly use outsourced songs, and after that, Kotobuki Mitsuru also read the relevant news. That animation was not a late-night show that no one cared about, but a high-profile animation that had long been noticed. It is a popular animation, and the original work is also very famous.

Although their songs are also very popular on the Internet, it is impossible for others to borrow them shamelessly.

Qinbukiguang didn't expose it, but just buried this kindness in his heart.

"I didn't expect to earn our first pot of gold so quickly..."

Yamada Ryo's eyes shone brightly, and he could already guess what she was thinking.

Anyway, I just have my eye on some new bass, effects device, etc.

"But... I feel like I haven't done anything, but I suddenly made so much money... but I feel a little uneasy..." Ichichi Hongxia said a little uneasily.

There were millions of yen on the table. Based on their current income from part-time work, several of them together would not be able to make enough money in one or two years.

It's like suddenly winning the lottery, which makes people feel a little uneasy.

"The budget for this animation is quite sufficient, and the animation company is willing to spend money on it. Moreover, the prerequisite for such a large amount of compensation is that they only used the opening song, and they still composed the ending song themselves, so they can only get half of the budget. There are only 24 episodes of the planned 12-episode anime using your songs, so these are not too many.”

It seems that the price of the reward is determined based on the number of songs used in the animation, so if it is an animation with this number of episodes, the price is not too high.

Maezawa patted the table and continued. "The most important thing is... your music is worth the price."

This is where it counts.

Because it has sufficient quality, others will accept it and be willing to use it.

If the song is distasteful to the other party, no matter how much you ask, he won't accept it.

"So, just take it with peace of mind. For you, this little money is just a drop in the bucket in the future."

Yijizhi Hongxia picked up the banknotes from the table with some trepidation.

Heavy weight...

Somewhat cold to the touch...

"Mr. Producer...Thank you very much."

Ichichi Hongxia finally thanked her again. "But, are we going to accept all of this...is that okay?"

"Don't worry about me, I'm just a little matchmaking. These are the results of your own efforts and have nothing to do with me." Maezawa shook his head casually and said indifferently. "I won't compete with a few high school students just for this little money. As for the distribution... your band will divide it among yourselves after I leave."

Afterwards, everyone immersed themselves in the delicious barbecue.

If we continue to proceed in an orderly manner, the entire album will be recorded in about half a month.

Kotobuki Mitsuru replaced Kita as the rhythm guitarist during the recording.

Although saying this may hurt Kita's heart, after doing this, the recording speed is obviously much faster.

Today's recording was over before it got completely dark.

After dinner, a few people who were full walked out of the store.

call......

A gust of cold wind blew by, and I immediately felt a chill, sweeping away all the warmth accumulated in the store.

"Well...it's so cold..." Kita wrapped up her coat and moved closer to Yamada Ryo's body.

"After all, November is almost over..." Ichichi Hongka said.

The five people who finished the band stood in front of the door, looking at the sky.
