Chapter 401 305 You're Still Showing Off, Aren't You?

Chapter 401 305. You are still showing off, right?

However, there is one thing that Qing Zhiyuan did to satisfy Maeda Jun a little.

Because he asked Kazuma Takahashi to contact Ayumi Hamasaki's agency, hoping that she would sing the theme song of "86-Non-Existent War Zone".

"Really?" When hearing the request of President Qing Zhiyuan, even the other party's agency couldn't believe it.

"Are you sure it's Ayumi Hamasaki?" The voice of the person in charge came from the other end of the phone.

And he was quite surprised.

It's not because of anything else, but because Ayumi Hamasaki has no fame at all now.

And Pokeni is already a very powerful company in the game industry.

There are many voice actors lining up to dub for Paradox's games, but why did they find him, and the person in charge didn't understand it.

In 1994, Ayumi Hamasaki arrived in Tokyo and started working part-time while studying at Horikoshi High School. She also participated in some low-budget TV series and B-level films, and used "Hamazaki Kumi" as her stage name, but changed it to her real name "Hamazaki Ayumi" in September.

In 1995, Ayumi Hamasaki signed a contract with Columbia Records Japan and released her first mini album "NOTHING FROM NOTHING" under the name "AYUMI". Due to the complete lack of publicity, the album sales were not ideal and was soon abandoned by the record company.

Ayumi Hamasaki returned to the ranks of B-level stars and continued to perform in TV series;

In the same year, she starred in the movie "Flowing Sand Fantasy Love".

Didn't expect it?

When Ayumi Hamasaki is mentioned, basically people will think of her singer image. Ayumi Hamasaki also influenced a large number of singers later.

However, Ayumi also relied on [beauty] to eat the meal of an actor.

In 1996, when Ayumi Hamasaki was singing in a nightclub, she was discovered by a scout from Avex Records and joined SUN MUSIC, becoming an artist.

In other words, Ayumi Hamasaki is far from becoming the future Asian No. 1 singer or superstar. She is just a nobody.

Qing Zhiyuan doesn't know how Jun Maeda discovered this artist.

It can only be said that Jun Maeda has a good aesthetic sometimes.

Back then, Ayumi Hamasaki was the most popular Asian singer, and she was overwhelming and dominant in both singing, appearance and stage performance.

Now is the right time for Paradox to start.

On the one hand, she has been discovered by a new record company, and she will soon release her first solo album, thus embarking on the path of professional singing.

It is the time of youth.

As for later, Ayumi Hamasaki's emotional road was overturned, and her vocal cords were damaged, she became hoarse, unable to sing high notes, and she was deaf in both ears... It can be described as a life full of misfortunes.

…

If a person is close to deafness and has knee problems, and gains weight during rehabilitation due to medication, is it inevitable?

Even in this situation, Ayumi Hamasaki has never given up the stage, never given up singing, changed her music style, and after retraining, she still insisted on staying on the stage.

Such self-abuse efforts have led to serious physical problems. If it were someone else, Qing Zhiyuan would definitely think that it would be better to rest and not work too hard.

But for Ayumi Hamasaki, he had nothing to say.

In Qing Zhiyuan's previous life, Ayumi Hamasaki had a stubborn spirit and did her own thing. She was able to maintain her popularity for so many years because of this stubbornness and the spirit of not absolutely giving in.

She did not give in to the company forcing her to release a collection when she was not ready.

She did not give in to being treated as a commodity by the company

She did not give in to her unfortunate fate

She did not give in to the pity and sympathy of the outside world after learning the truth

As early as when she was 21 years old, she once said in an interview that the stage was her place to stay.

Later, she was 40 years old and had a lot of illness, but she still didn't forget her original intention.

Others may not understand why she is so successful, but why she is still working so hard. Perhaps only she herself understands this feeling of "uneasy" forever. There is always another self in her heart, secretly examining herself in the crowd.

At the end of "Wolf", Xiao Shao said that she didn't understand why Lilizi was so persistent, but who doesn't want to stand at the top forever?

What does a person's destiny consist of? Is it talent, hard work or luck? In Lilizi's arrogance, is there really no inferiority and fear of being driven by fate?

For a singer like Ayumi Hamasaki who regards her career as her life, it is better to let her die on the stage than to let her stop and retire.

...

In short, Ayumi Hamasaki is far from being ruined. She is still young and just standing at the starting point. Her voice, ears, and legs are all fine.

It's the best time.

And it's still a star buried in the soil that has not risen.

At this time, it would be a bit unreasonable for Qing Zhiyuan not to support her.

At the same time, thanks to Maeda Jun, he remembered——

Oh, there is such a person.

…

After agreeing on the time and place for the meeting, Qing Zhiyuan took Kazuma Takahashi and musician Yoko Shimomura to meet Ayumi Hamasaki and her agency.

The contract was signed very quickly, because for Hamasaki's record company, it would be better if she could be launched earlier to make money.

Now that pokeni is the sponsor and dad, and also provides the stage and songs, it is even more desirable.

After signing the contract, both parties negotiated a schedule.

In fact, apart from daily training, Hamasaki now has no extra work to speak of, and he is almost on call.

So, it just so happened that P Club’s 86 was about to be released, and the recording of the theme song for the game could be completed in a short period of time.

…

3 days later.

In the recording studio, when he heard the theme song of the game "86 - The Non-Existent War Zone" for the first time, Hamasaki was stunned.

Just listen to the moving melody coming from the headphones:

【

That faint light points to the front

Silent haze Kasumi Kasumi

Chasing the shadowy figure in the silent mist

8リズム掻き乱される

The 86-beat melody was abruptly interrupted

ぎこちない innocent calm

To protect this flawless peace

Close my eyes and figure out the vacancy

Close your eyes and try to understand the emptiness in your heart

I don’t know what I wanted or you made me do

I don’t know what I want in my heart, and I don’t understand what you expect from me.

Scattered

Leave a mark on the scattered life

...]

Although it is just a sample, it was recorded in advance through her.

I don’t know why, but as soon as I heard this, Hamasaki burst into tears.

What kind of divine composition is this?

It's so touching, it touches the heart completely.

is not that right?

Qing Zhiyuan was observing from the side.

Sure enough, choosing Ayumi Hamasaki this time was the right choice.

Even Teacher Yoko Shimomura expressed his admiration and appreciation for President Ao. Although President Ao's voice is not very nice, he is inexplicably talented in music.

It can't be said to be a talent, it's more like a kind of nerve knife. When inspiration comes, it can produce excellent music.

However, when you usually discuss something with him, this person can't even comment on it.

No matter good or bad, he will only say that you did a good job.

So until now, Shimomura Yoko doesn't quite understand whether the president has talent or not.

However, Yoko Shimomura really likes the melody hummed by Qing Zhiyuan on the 86 theme song Avid.

The melody was hummed by Qing Zhiyuan, and the lyrics were written by Qing Zhiyuan himself, but Shimomura Yoko concretized them and arranged them.

Now to Ayumi Hamasaki to sing.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Shimomura Yoko knew that she had found the right person this time.

Because Ayumi Hamasaki's voice is so stable, and the moving feeling of calling out in despair at the end of the world is really touching.

Moved to tears.

Just hearing the sound of Hamasaki Ayumi made Yoko Shimomura's eyes turn red.

"President, you are really amazing. Not only can you create such a song, but the singer you choose is also so suitable."

"No no."

Qing Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Why am I so powerful? Hiroyuki Sawano is clearly so powerful.

Just mention a few of Sawano Hiroyuki's arrangements, they are god-level works: for example, the soundtrack of the "Mobile Suit Gundam UC" series.

"Medicine Dragon", "Mobile Suit Gundam UC", "Guilty Crown", "Attack on Titan", "Blue Exorcist", "Seraph of the End", "Kabanelli of the Iron Fortress", "Mobile Fighter Gundam: Shining Hathaway"

…

Let’s put it this way, Hiroyuki Sawano is almost one of Neon’s best post-80s genius composers.

An absolute god-level figure.

Especially the music he wrote for 86, Qing Zhiyuan really can't get tired of listening to it. When combined with the scenes in the game, it has a beauty that touches the heart.

It's a pity that Sawano Hiroyuki is probably still in school. Otherwise, Qing Zhiyuan would really like to invite him over.

"And Shimomura Yoko, you are amazing. I can just hum and you can write a complete song to this extent. It suits me very well."

It's simply a divine song.

…

Ayumi Hamasaki's theme song has been recorded here, but the members of the project team are dissatisfied.

Ishino Mika's whole body collapsed.

"President! Isn't it a bit awkward to add a theme song to the game at this time? The soundtrack work has actually been completed."

Although there is no vocal singing part in 86, the overall music and sound effects have been configured, and there is no delay in the game being released.

However, if such a paragraph is inserted in the middle, what will happen to the work done before?

"It's not too late to join now, right?" Qing Zhiyuan said, "The game hasn't reached the burning stage yet, and we have just finalized the release date with the dealers."

"..."

Ishino Mika puffed up her face, "That's right, but... is there really no risk in doing this at this time? What if there is a new bug that causes the program to crash? What to do.

What should I do if the construction period is delayed?

What if it can’t be put on the shelves on time?

Are you going to postpone the release date, President? ”

“Postponement or something…” Qing Zhiyuan retreated a little. He didn’t expect this guy to be so fierce.

Ishino actually has such a tough side. It must have been tempered during this period of time as a producer, right?

That’s right. It’s not the first time that Qing Zhiyuan has done such a thing to change the requirements at the last minute.

Everyone was not very satisfied with the fact that a new song sung by Ayumi Hamasaki was inserted.

The only one who was particularly happy was Jun Maeda.

This guy was grinning foolishly beside him. He always felt that it was a pity that he couldn’t monitor the studio in the recording studio. It was also amazing to say that he noticed this girl through the movie “Quicksand Fantasy Love”.

At that time, I thought she was very beautiful and thought that she could be the heroine of “My Robot Girlfriend”.

But what I didn’t expect was that Ayumi Hamasaki’s singing skills were so good.

Isn’t she too talented?

Jun Maeda himself was a little stunned.

…

“It’s okay, President. ”

Just when Qing Zhiyuan felt embarrassed and wondered whether he should stop this guy and let him know how powerful the president was, Akanishi Ken's voice came from the side.

"We fully support the audio change and insertion functions in the game, and as long as there are resources, it is quite fast and can be done in a few seconds."

Akanishi Ken showed a smile as bright as the sun on his face.

Even Ishino Mika was stunned by him.

Good guy, we had such a hard time advancing the program work before, and you always told everyone to make fewer changes, try not to change, and change after thinking it over.

How come you are so flexible now when it comes to the president?

Seniors, you are too unprincipled, aren't you?

Seeing Ishino Mika staring at him with big eyes in surprise, Akanishi Ken turned his head embarrassedly and avoided the other party's questioning.

"As a programmer, it is right to cooperate with the needs of the planner and be ready to make changes to the game at any time, so we have already thought of a flexible way to insert and change audio effects when we built the initial structure. "

Ishino Mika was laughing beside him.

Good man, Akanishi-senpai, you didn't say that before!

This time, Akanishi Ken, the director of the programming department, was extremely calm and very cooperative.

Because he had long expected such a situation to happen, the music and the main body of all Pokeni games are separated, and generally they are directly imported into the game after the post-recording is completed.

The game has corresponding playback time and triggering methods for various tracks, and they are all stored in the same directory, neatly classified.

Demands like Qing Zhiyuan are particularly easy, just need to replace the audio resources.

Fortunately, the game has not yet entered the stage of burning to a disc, so there is still time to change it.

How to say it?

This is probably the instinct trained by Qing Zhiyuan. For Akanishi Ken, after stepping on many pits, he naturally knows how to prepare the wooden planks for paving the way in advance.

"Good job, Akanishi-san, then the next work is up to you. Later, Takahashi needs to import the music into the PV, so please pay more attention to it. "

Qing Zhiyuan gave him a thumbs up and walked back to his president's office.

Akanishi Ken's approach is the approach of a mature and old programmer. He disassembled the game into configurable parts. It is best to use the configurable mode for the parts that may be changed and will be changed frequently.

This guy finally got it.

Qing Zhiyuan was very pleased with the growth of the members.

...

After Qing Zhiyuan left, Akanishi Ken's younger brothers immediately cheered and gathered around Akanishi Ken.

"Akanishi Senior, you are so amazing, wise and brave, you have expected this day, right?"

"Akanishi Senior is so amazing, I will learn from you in the future."

"Akanishi Senior, you are really our role model, it's amazing, everything that happened today!

It's all under your control!"

"That's right, otherwise how can you be a programmer at Pokeni? "

Ishino Mika was so angry that she laughed. Good fellow, you are showing off, right?
