After playing in the recording studio for more than an hour, the takeaway arrived at 7:30 in the evening.
The reason why we didn’t go out to eat is that if we go out, we might be seen by others.
To avoid trouble, I ordered takeout and ate in the lounge on the third floor.
"That's amazing! You played even better than last time. I think your level has improved a lot."
Igarashi Runa sat at the table, the excitement she had just felt in the recording studio had not yet dissipated from her body.
"The difference in the piano is thanks to Ms. Ninomiya for choosing such a good piano."
Kurosawa Hikaru smiled and gave the credit to others.
After all, he couldn't say that the huge gap in level was because he went on a date with Shifengyuan Mirai, got a reward, and upgraded his piano skills, right
After these words were spoken, no one responded and both of them looked at Ninomiya Chizuru.
She was seen holding her hair with one hand and eating a mouthful of ramen. Although she didn't wear lipstick on a weekday, her lips had a glossy sheen due to the oily soup, making her look very sexy.
The movement was very elegant and graceful, and even had a kind of exquisite charm.
"To forge iron, one must be strong himself."
After taking a mouthful of ramen, Ninomiya Chizuru spoke.
The decoration and layout of the lounge have not been completely completed, only the basic parts have been solved. They sat at a high table.
This was chosen by Igarashi Runa because if the table was too low, one would have to bend over to eat, which would easily cause indigestion and would not be comfortable.
Kurosawa Hikaru feels that when she gets married, she will definitely be a virtuous and fashionable hot mom. Her outfits are very beautiful and she looks very delicate, but in fact she is very good at housework and can take care of everything.
"How can you eat ramen so beautifully?" At this moment, Igarashi Runa exclaimed.
"The key is to have good looks. Everything you do will look good." These words expressed Kurosawa Mitsuru's thoughts, and I immediately agreed.
It was just like a category he had seen in his previous life, the cute pig category. As long as there were a group of beautiful girls, no matter what they did, people would watch it and enjoy it.
The key is not what you do, but the charm of the role.
"No way... Come eat something, didn't you say you were hungry just now?"
Ninomiya Chizuru didn't expect them to say that, and was a little embarrassed for a moment.
She didn't do anything, just to avoid having her hair splashed by the ramen oil.
"I'm starting."
Seeing that she was a little shy, Kurosawa Hikaru and Igarashi Runa looked at each other, smiled at each other, and started eating.
It wasn't long before they finished their ramen.
"By the way, the two sets of clothes you asked me to order will arrive tomorrow. To be honest, since you are wearing a mask, you can save money on the makeup artist."
Leaving the high table and sitting down in the sofa area, Igarashi Runa relaxed as she leaned back on the sofa and said.
She crossed her legs and spread her arms. Because she was in a lowered position, her curvy figure was even more obvious against the tank top.
Seeing that her action did not expose her but was very indecent, Ninomiya Chizuru, who was sitting next to her, pushed her gently.
"Will it arrive tomorrow? I'll come try it on again after school on Friday."
"Can't you come tomorrow? My plan is to start preparing for the shoot on Friday, shoot the actual shoot over the weekend, and upload it after post-processing."
"I have tutoring classes on Tuesday and Thursday." Kurosawa Hikaru explained, shaking his head slightly.
"Why don't you stop being a tutor? You're already an artist. With your ability, you won't have to worry about money soon."
When Igarashi Runa heard this, she thought about it and suggested.
"It's not about money, but I have been tutoring for more than a year, and the college entrance examination will be in about half a year, so I have to be responsible to the end. What's more, my hourly salary as a tutor is as high as 20,000 yuan, which is also raised by others. I can't be ungrateful."
Kurosawa Hikaru had anticipated this proposal, but he had also thought of an explanation.
In fact, after he came to Tokyo, he was able to rent an apartment and live alone without worries about food and clothing, thanks in large part to this tutoring job.
"All right."
After hearing this, Igarashi Runa felt that it would be inhumane if she continued to insist.
"Then come try on the clothes on Friday, rehearse and prepare, shoot on Saturday, and upload the video on Sunday."
Immediately, she rearranged her schedule.
"I have something to do on Saturday."
Kurosawa Hikaru raised his hand and spoke again.
When it comes to such business decisions, Chizuru Ninomiya doesn't say much, after all, she is not a professional.
"What's up?"
But after hearing this, she couldn't hold back any longer and couldn't help but speak.
I have something to do on Saturday, could it be that I have a date with a girl
"I promised Mr. Uesugi from the Kyudo Club to participate in club activities."
Being stared at by her, Kurosawa Mitsuru subconsciously thought of a reason.
Although he was determined to take them all, he still felt guilty in front of her and couldn't muster up the courage to come clean for the time being.
After hearing this reason, Ninomiya Chizuru did not doubt it and just nodded.
"You are such a busy man..."
Then, Igarashi Runa couldn't help but complain.
Kurosawa Hikaru is so busy even though he hasn't become a big star yet. If he becomes a big star in the future, won't it be even more difficult to deal with him
"no way."
Kurosawa Hikaru could do nothing about it.
"Then let's do it on Friday and Sunday. We can squeeze in the time and try to start work this week. Is that ok?"
Igarashi Runa didn't force it. After thinking for a while, she said.
"Okay." Kurosawa Hikaru nodded.
"Then I'll ask a director to come to the office?"
"A date with the director?"
"Shooting a video is not as simple as starting and ending. You also need to consider a series of factors such as scene layout, camera switching, shooting details, and post-editing to shoot a good video. In order to make a big splash, I plan to use the MV shooting method for my first video."
Seeing that he didn't understand, Igarashi Runa smiled and told him her plan.
If possible, she hopes that Kurosawa Hikaru can become famous with one song.
"Ms. Runa, I have an idea. Can I tell you?"
When Kurosawa Mitsuru heard the decision, he thought about it carefully and said.
"sure."
"Honestly, I think it was a bit too hasty to hire a director right away."
"Why?"
"Because if the starting point is too high, it will be difficult to surprise and improve people. According to my conception, the first video is Flight of the Bumblebee, which simply records my piano playing. I have also considered the camera switching, so as to gain some fame and fans. The second video is Croatian Rhapsody, which will become an instant Internet hit."
"According to you, we only hire a photographer?"
“I don’t need to hire a photographer. For the first video, the theme is my piano, not the lens. I just need to adjust the camera parameters, light it, and shoot it in a fixed position.”
"You're right. If it's too commercial, it might backfire. But things that are carefully made are more enjoyable to watch. Your Flight of the Bumblebee is a feast for both the eyes and the ears. It won't bring out its full effect this way."
After hearing his plan, Igarashi Runa thought for a while and then said.
"If we try to cover everything, people will be put off. We want to be high-end, but not too high-end."
"Why?"
“What I want is to arouse the enthusiasm of piano lovers.”
“Positiveness?”
"I played Flight of the Bumblebee and released the sheet music so that piano lovers can imitate and play this piece of music, and let them help us promote it."
Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly and told his plan.
According to his memory, in his previous life, the song "Flight of the Bumblebee", which seemed to be a show of skill, had attracted many music lovers to follow suit and imitate it.
“Do you think this piece will get everyone to follow suit?”
Seeing his confident eyes and smile, Igarashi Runa was a little surprised.
"I will."
"Then I'll listen to you once. If the effect is not good this time, then Croatian Rhapsody will have to be carefully packaged."
After much thought, Igarashi Runa decided to listen to him.
Their business venture this time was not going to follow the usual path. Although she was better at packaging and publicity, Kurosawa Hikaru was so talented in piano that it might not be a bad thing to trust his judgment and give it a try.
"Summer vacation is coming soon, so it's best to get your career on track during the school term."
Ninomiya Chizuru heard this and reminded.
“I understand that communication between students is important for publicity.”
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded, he also had some idea about this.
Compared to the summer vacation when students are scattered, the situation of students gathering together during the school day is definitely more conducive to publicity.
Moreover, it is not a movie release or a concert. You can watch the video anytime and anywhere with a mobile phone, which is more convenient.
“That’s why I’m in a hurry.”
"Speaking of which, these are the storyboards and music scores I drew."
Seeing that she was a little anxious, Kurosawa Mitsuru thought for a moment, then took out a stack of papers from his schoolbag, put them on the table, and pushed them over.
"Storyboard?"
Ninomiya Chizuru found it a little strange to hear this.
"It's the whole process of the first shoot. I've thought about the process. Although it's not the whole process, it can show my thoughts."
"You're really good at drawing. If you have this talent, why don't you consider becoming a cartoonist?"
Igarashi Runa took the paper and was shocked after taking a few glances at it.
On the paper, there was an image of Zero Hour drawn... If what I saw before was a character design, now it was like reading a comic.
The virtual identity of Lingshi seemed to be alive.
"Manga artists have a short life." Kurosawa Hikaru was not interested in this.
"indeed."
Igarashi Runa was amused and laughed out loud, agreeing very much.
Although the commercial value is high, creating comics is a laborious and time-consuming task and is prone to occupational diseases.
"… "
Ninomiya Chizuru leaned forward slightly to look with her, without saying anything, just staring.
While they were watching, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't say anything, just waiting for their thoughts.
But at this moment, a line of words appeared before my eyes.
