On the 23rd, He Jin attended the interview event of Oricon.

In this interview, besides He Jin, there were several other people.

Among these people, He Jin only knew one person.

This person is Masahiko Kondo, the current number one scumbag in Japan who is hated by both men and women.

Masahiko Kondo, although he is a scumbag, you can't deny that he is still very talented.

Plus his looks.

Throughout the 80s in Japan, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the well-deserved No. [-] idol.

Masahiko Kondo made his debut in 79 by forming the "Tahara Trio", a combination of Japanese male idol Shingosanke in the 70s.

In 80, the development of this combination was unfavorable, and it was announced that it was disbanded, and he began to fly solo.

It is also this time of solo flight, his era is coming soon.

He released a single "sneakerblues" in December 80.

As soon as this single was released, it rushed to No. [-] on the Japanese Oricon Chart in the first week, and won the championship for three consecutive weeks.

The total sales of this single directly exceeded one million.

He also became the first person in Japanese history to win the Oricon chart with his debut single.

Subsequently, throughout the 80s, Kondo Masahiko won the Oricon Chart 14 times, and won the Japan Record Award in [-] with "The Fool".

And because of his emotional entanglement with two of the three major singers of the Showa era, Nakamori Akina and Matsuda Seiko, he directly became the number one male idol in Japan in the 80s.

Oh!In addition, by the way, his song "タ烧けの歌" has been adapted by many people.

Anita Mui's "Song of the Sunset", Priscilla Chan's "Song of a Thousand Thousand Ques", and Li Yijun's "Promise in the Wind" are all adapted from this song.

……

Perhaps it was because He Jin and Akina Nakamori behaved intimately yesterday, and when I met He Jin again today, Masahiko Kondo nodded politely, but He Jin could clearly feel that he was still a little unhappy with him.

Therefore, He Jin didn't bother to talk to him in the following interviews.

If you ignore me, I naturally ignore you.

Oricon interviews are mainly about the songs on the list, not about your scandals or the like.

Therefore, He Jin and others talked with the host all about music issues.

The host is a musician invited by Oricon, and he knows a lot about music.

So the interview questions are all very professional questions.

For example, why do you add drums to a certain section of this song, and how do you feel after adding drums?

The interview lasted for an hour, during which He Jin personally sang the Japanese version of "Love Story Part [-]" on the stage.

After the interview, He Jin didn't stay long, although several Japanese singers in the same company invited him to eat together.

But because he contacted Polygram Studio to record "I've Thought About It" and had to see the equipment in the afternoon, he rejected them.

In the afternoon, He Jin finished the interview and went straight to PolyGram's branch in Japan.

He Jin plans to complete the song "I've thought about it once and for all" within ten days.

Therefore, there will be some rush in time.

Especially for this single He Jin plans to shoot an MV.

This mv is not a simple mv.

It's an MV about redemption.

If it is said that among the global MVs, whose MV is the best-selling, it can most enhance the artistic conception of the song.

That would definitely belong to Michael.

His mvs are all mvs that reflect social issues.

As long as it is played, it will immediately arouse people's reflection.

And that's what He Jin intends to do in this MV.

According to his plot concept, the protagonist of the MV had to be a once successful person who was burdened with countless debts due to Japan's economic problems.

The bursting of the economic bubble made him become a poor person who could not afford three meals.Valley

This strong gap made him think of suicide.

So, he took action for it.

However, when he was on his way to commit suicide, Haiou, who spread his wings soaring along the road, and the little girl who staggered along with her rotten father on her back, reminded him of his family and his seven or eight-year-old child. He carefreely shouted about his father's situation.

Later, he received a call from his wife, who told him that he would face it with him.

All kinds of warm memories in the world and the inspiration of family love made him give up suicide.

To be honest, He Jin doesn't know if the MV story he made up is good or not.

Maybe you will be scolded as worthless.

But he decided to shoot it anyway.

For the whole film, he decided to describe the darkness in the first half, describing the darkness caused by the current economic turmoil in Little Japan.

The second half will be memories, the beauty of the world.

Half dark, half light.

Like the song, from darkness to light.

Because the plot design is almost similar to a movie.

It's only a 4 minute movie though.

But the difficulty of shooting is definitely difficult.

Especially the decadence of the protagonist in the early stage and the vigor in the later stage, this requires acting skills very much.

So it definitely takes time to get it right.

ten days.

He had to record the song and shoot the mv.

The difficulty of this can be imagined.

It can be said that time will be very, very rushed.

Therefore, He Jin was unwilling to delay for a while, and came to PolyGram's recording studio after the interview.

"Do you need me to get someone to help?"

Zheng Donghan recently came to Little Japan on a business trip, so he will always be in Japan.

When he arrived at Polygram, he personally received He Jin and took him to Polygram's recording studio.

"Thank you! But it shouldn't be necessary!"

He Jin nodded and thanked him for his help.

In his contract with PolyGram, he needs to produce the single himself before handing it over to PolyGram for distribution.

Because the contract was so clearly written, Polygram, the album's producer, was not going to help.

He Jin even paid for the current recording studio.

However, once the album is completed, the remaining imprints and promotional releases will need to be resolved by Polygram.

He Jin didn't want to owe Polygram favors.

Debts of favor are the hardest to repay.

He didn't want them to bring it up when he didn't want to cooperate with them in the future because Polygram helped him.

During yesterday's contract negotiations, under He Jin's efforts, the clause that they could only cooperate with PolyGram was changed to a clause that they could only sign with them for the first two years, and that they should be prioritized for cooperation with PolyGram for the next few years.

That is to say, if two years later, other companies offer higher contracts than theirs, He Jin has the right to give up cooperating with them.

"Ding ding..."

After playing on the instruments in the arranger room next to the recording studio, He Jin started to arrange the music.

The various instrumental accompaniments of this song are less than He Jin expected, so the arrangement will not be too difficult.

According to He Jin's estimate, starting this afternoon and working hard for another morning tomorrow morning, it should be completed.
