The priority was to finish the video to be released today. The two of them went to the third floor and turned on their laptops.
Edit the audio and video together, align the timeline, and then cut off the behind-the-scenes footage at the beginning and end, and your audio and video will be ready.
"I'm done."
After a while, Igarashi Runa said.
“So fast.”
Sitting on the sofa at the side, Kurosawa Mitsuru took off his mask and looked at the piano music, looking a little surprised.
“Practice makes perfect.”
Igarashi Runa felt somewhat happy and complacent in the face of his surprise.
Although she had never received formal systematic training before, it was quite simple to combine audio and video.
"Want to take a look? See if there's anything wrong."
Then, she noticed that Kurosawa Mitsuru was still sitting there and didn't come over immediately, so she took the initiative to ask.
"No need, I trust you, just check it." Kurosawa Mitsuru shook his head.
As for the video, he didn't even need to watch it. He just needed to cut out the few seconds of footage at the beginning and the end.
As for the recording, he had also listened to it, and as long as it matched the timeline, there would be no problem.
Moreover, he believed in Miss Runa's ability and would never make such a low-level mistake.
"… "
Igarashi Runa, who was originally very excited, froze her smile when she heard this, and then gradually turned into disappointment.
"Let me see."
Kurosawa Mitsuru, who was still studying the music score to see if there was any room for improvement, noticed her melancholy, so he put down the score, stood up and walked over.
Seeing him coming over, Igarashi Runa was stunned for a moment, then moved her butt to make room for him.
Kurosawa Hikaru, who originally wanted to watch the video while standing, had to sit down after seeing her actions.
The distance between the two people was not close, about thirty centimeters. She was actively keeping her distance, which was a good thing.
Then, Igarashi Runa held the mouse and played the video.
Because it is different from the original version, it is a purely show-off version and the video duration is very short.
“This video will definitely go viral, even more popular than Croatian Rhapsody!”
Indeed, after watching it, Igarashi Runa felt like an electric current flowing through her body, her scalp tingling, and it was refreshing.
Perhaps Liszt's "The Bells", in the climax part where the hand speed is racing, can be regarded as a double feast for the visual and auditory senses, and a performance that is enough to bring sublimation to the human soul.
But that climax lasts too long, and you need to calm down and watch the entire process to appreciate its beauty.
In comparison, "Flight of the Bumblebee" explodes from the first second, which is very suitable for this impetuous and fast-paced era, and it only takes one second to catch people's hearts.
The most important thing is that there are many means and ways to market and promote this song.
"It will be a fire, but it won't sound good enough."
Kurosawa Hikaru also finished watching the video and was thoughtful.
Although the virtuoso version of "Flight of the Bumblebee", with more than a dozen notes per second, is indeed very explosive... but for a professional pianist, only the virtuoso elements can be felt, but the musical sense is lacking.
To put it bluntly, this is not art, but commercial piano.
"That's right... What should we do then?"
When Igarashi Runa heard this comment, he thought about it and agreed.
This song is actually very good when viewed alone, but if you compare it with the three songs before midnight, there is an obvious gap.
"It won't have much of an impact, as long as it's definitely a hit. This song will be licensed to Cats Carnival to be made into a song."
However, after thinking about it, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't care much about it.
For professional pianists, "Flight of the Bumblebee" is not good enough, but for ordinary listeners, this piece of music was definitely one of the most famous piano pieces in the 21st century in his previous life.
Ultimately, it is because of its extreme speed that it is extremely attractive to people who don't know how to play the piano.
Because he was not reborn but traveled through time, the world is different and he cannot completely replicate everything. However, bundling Flight of the Bumblebee with the music game is a perfect choice and they can complement each other.
"Okay, I'll watch the video a few more times to confirm if there are any details I missed." Igarashi Runa nodded.
"You take a look first."
Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly, then stood up and returned to the sofa on the side, picked up the paper on the table and started reading it again.
He had a lot of papers in his hands, on which were recorded three piano pieces: "Adeline by the Waterside", "Wedding in a Dream", and "Autumn Whispers".
These three pieces may not be very difficult to play, but as romantic piano pieces, they are very nice to listen to.
He gained fame through Maxim's piano music that was similar to pop music and had an absolute fan base. These three songs are the basis for his world-famous status.
To be honest, he didn't do much research and didn't know how well the album by the Piano Prince, Richard Clayderman, which included these songs, would sell.
But he only knew one thing, that the influence of these three pieces of music was terrifying. You couldn't name them, but the melodies were engraved deep in your mind, and you didn't know when and where you had heard them.
The music score in his hand was not the absolute original version, because the memories of his previous life were too far away. He could only vaguely remember 70% to 80% of the original song. The remaining blank parts were filled in by him relying on his talent for master-level piano and music theory.
That's right, he was checking the music score again and again, trying to find the problem.
"What are you thinking about?"
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
The sudden voice brought Kurosawa Hikaru back to reality from his thoughts.
Turning around, he found that Miss Runa had walked behind his sofa and was looking at the music score in his hand.
"Your painting skills are really amazing. This music score is so beautiful."
Igarashi Runa bent down slightly and looked at the notes in his hand. Although she couldn't understand the music score, she could see that the lines of the notes were smooth and neat.
Her short silver-gray hair was just shoulder-length, and even when she bent down her hair would not fall down.
Indeed, as she bent down, Kurosawa Hikaru smelled the scent of roses, which was very fragrant, with a subtle and intoxicating aroma.
"I'm playing it through my imagination to confirm the score."
Realizing her scent, Kurosawa Hikaru turned his gaze away from her and explained.
"Imagine playing? What is that?"
“It’s about silently reciting each beat in your mind and feeling its melody.”
"Wow… "
Igarashi Runa realized what he was doing and couldn't help but marvel.
In fact, she had learned to play the guitar and had an idea of the notes... But she was a person who only learned after a short period of time and gave up after realizing that she had no musical talent.
Precisely because she knows that she has no talent, she admires Kurosawa Hikaru's gifts and talents even more.
"I'm sorry, did I bother you?"
Then, Igarashi Runa came to her senses and realized that he was not staring at the music score in a daze, but was practicing, and she realized the problem.
"No. Have you finished the examination? When did you come here?"
Although Kurosawa Hikaru was simulating a performance, he couldn't find any problems.
After all, when he wrote the music score, he had already reached the master level of piano.
What's more, when he wrote these three romantic piano pieces, he was still immersed in the afterglow of his date with Miss Ninomiya. He was full of beautiful visions of the future and had rich emotions. He performed exceptionally well when filling in the blanks.
Unless his piano skills are upgraded to the perfect level, there will be no more inspiration for improvement of these three piano pieces.
It's not impossible for him to adapt it if he insists, but the song will be completely unrecognizable.
"I've been watching you from behind for at least ten minutes and have watched the video five times. There's no problem... If you want to do better, there will be problems, because if the camera position of the video remains unchanged, it will affect the loop playback. The MVs on YouTube that have been viewed over a billion times all have varied images that fit the theme."
Igarashi Runa nodded and expressed her opinion.
In fact, she didn't want to speak, but Kurosawa was immersed in the world of piano music, and she didn't know when it would end.
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't expect that she had been standing behind him for so long and was stunned.
"Am I too obsessed? Or do I think she would never hurt me, so I didn't take it seriously after she found out?"
He didn't say anything, but felt surprised in his heart.
As an expert in leg techniques, boxing, and survival in the wild, he was very sensitive to the movements of things around him, but Miss Runa ran behind him without him noticing and even stood there for ten minutes.
"MV? I'll think of a way."
Because this question cannot be verified, Kurosawa Hikaru thought about the question she raised, and as a photographer, he suddenly had a burst of inspiration.
In fact, he also knows that his videos are monotonous.
Pieces like "Croatian Rhapsody" and "Flight of the Bumblebee" are very enjoyable to play and there are no problems with them.
But the following three romantic piano pieces would be best matched with the plot of the MV to maximize their effect.
"So at times like this, we need the power of a team... Can you figure out a way to do it?"
Igarashi Runa responded subconsciously, but was shocked when she realized what he said.
She specifically brought this up because she thought of something she could do... but Kurosawa was planning to solve it himself
"Yes, after hearing what you said just now, I have a good idea."
After this reminder, Kurosawa Mitsuru felt that his ideas were flowing like a spring.
As a model, Yuki needs development and exposure. If she is made the heroine of the MV and the piano music becomes a hit, her popularity will also soar.
And when she faces herself, her unmistakable love can definitely express the theme of love very well.
"You've taken care of everything, what can I do?"
When Igarashi Runa saw that he had to do everything by himself, she suddenly became a little frustrated and lay down on the back of the sofa.
As a gold medal agent, she used to always solve all problems for artists in detail... But Kurosawa Hikaru is an absolute outlier. He is so powerful that she doesn't even need to worry about him.
"Teach Yuki how to become a qualified model."
Kurosawa Mitsuru saw her frustration from the side and gave her an important task.
Although he confirmed through online searches that modeling had a promising future in Japan, he did not have the time to study the many rules and matters in the industry.
"Then I will naturally do it. Can't I help you?"
"If you help her, you're also helping me."
"All right."
Igarashi Runa looked at him deeply and nodded.
