The so-called MV is a music short film, which is a short film paired with music.
In today's era, MV is an indispensable part of singles.
An outstanding MV mainly focuses on two points: interpreting the meaning and message that the music wants to express, and showcasing the singer's style and story.
As long as these two points can be achieved, it is a qualified MV... If these two points can be done very well, it is outstanding.
This is a visual, auditory and even spiritual feast.
It may be very short, less than three minutes, but with the background of music, it tells a love story.
The moment people finished watching, viewers who were watching the live broadcast flocked to the comment section of the single video.
As for those who watched the show through special means, such as screen projection and computers, they also picked up their mobile phones.
However, not everyone likes to express their opinions on the Internet, and a considerable number of people will replay and watch it again.
"Adeline by the water, a dreamy and perfect masterpiece!"
"Divine Comedy, I would like to regard it as the best divine song of the 21st century!"
"Master Zero Time, I love you! You are so handsome."
"It's a double enjoyment of vision and hearing. I've waited from 14:00 to now for 10 hours, and it's worth it!"
"Is there any netizen who can tell me who is the female lead in the MV? She is so beautiful!"
"Adilina's figure and appearance perfectly match my imagination!"
“Although Croatian Rhapsody and Flight of the Bumblebee gave me a very amazing and shocking feeling, they were like a popcorn movie that I could only enjoy for a short time. For me, Adeline at the Water’s Edge is better. It is a piano piece that I will love for the rest of my life.”
"Master Zero Time, I'm sorry!
When I heard that the single was "Adeline by the Water", I was actually disappointed because I had listened to it many times before and didn't expect the MV to be so amazing. "
"I want to learn piano. Are there any piano training classes you recommend in Kyoto?"
“It sounds so good!
I won’t say any more. I’ll listen to it a few more times. I was confused just now.”
"Oh my God, how can there be such a beautiful piano piece?"
"That last look and smile was so stunning... Mom, I'm in love."
"Women are better. I decided to be straight from today."
"Does anyone know the name of the leading actress?"
"Can someone tell me what the relationship between Master Zero and Adirina is in real life?"
The comment section is very excited. Maybe this piano piece is very short, but the enjoyment and experience it brings to people is even more addictive than rhythmic songs like "Flight of the Bumblebee".
There is no other reason, it’s just because "Adeline at the Water's Edge" tells a love story that makes people yearn for, envy and longing.
No matter what it is, even a branch or a leaf, when it is given more meanings, its value is no longer limited to the original.
If a lifelike work of art is accompanied by a romantic and beautiful story, it will be even more fascinating.
Love is a feeling that always haunts people.
…
The comment section is very hot. After the video ends, just refresh the page and you will see a lot of new comments.
"860,000 real-time viewers! Chizuru, Kurosawa, we succeeded again!"
At the Zero Hour Office, Igarashi Runa held Kurosawa Hikaru's arm with one hand and shook it wildly, while holding the mouse with the other hand. Her joy and excitement were hard to contain.
“Check out the comments section.”
Chizuru Ninomiya was also in a good mood. After watching the MV again with all the audience, she could say with confidence that this viewing experience was invincible.
However, compared to the data, she was more curious about what the audience thought of the MV she starred in.
"Only 860,000?"
With his arms held in her arms, Kurosawa Mitsuru lowered his eyes to glance at her, and then looked at the laptop.
"Only 860,000? Are you still not satisfied?"
When Igarashi Runa saw their reactions, especially Kurosawa's, she was shocked and said immediately.
860,000 is a terrifying number even if we look at the global music scene, or even history.
Her most outstanding artist in the past, Fujiwara Rikka, never reached such heights during her heyday even after many years of debut.
"Didn't you say that the highest real-time audience record for the first broadcast on YouTube was 1.54 million? This is only half of that."
Kurosawa Mitsuru looked up and looked at him, nodded slightly and said affirmatively.
It's not that he is overly arrogant or picky, but he is very clear about how terrifying his mastery of piano, techniques and skills are.
In addition, the piano piece "Adeline at the Water's Edge" is a world-famous piece that won the Golden Piano Award in the previous life. It is a phenomenal work that caused a sensation once it was performed.
The mastery level of piano that a piano genius can only achieve in his entire life, plus the classic piano piece "Adeelina at the Water's Edge", and the works he shot through mastery level photography, starring super beauties like Chizuru Ninomiya, and completed through permanent entry-level computer-audio and video editing.
He knows the value of this MV better than anyone else in this world. He is really not satisfied with just such data.
“It may not be as high as the highest record, but 860,000 real-time viewers can rank among the YouTube single premiere history rankings. Others have debuted for several years when they got this record. They are a phenomenal national idol group. It is the combination of all factors such as time, place, and people that has achieved such a strong record.
Moreover, the real-time audience size is greater than the number of fans and the stickiness of fans. How long have you been in the industry? Less than two months, you haven’t released an album yet, only three singles, and you haven’t even promoted it extensively. You only had one public performance that lasted less than half an hour.”
Seeing that he was not excited at all and had such high demands, Igarashi Runa also tried to persuade him.
In fact, Zero Hour is now a huge firestorm.
Perhaps the first single "Croatian Rhapsody" did not have an exaggerated number of plays on the first day.
However, after the first public performance, the second single "Flight of the Bumblebee" had an astonishing number of plays on the first day and topped the Twitter hot list, which directly brought a major earthquake to Japan's entertainment industry.
As for this time, the typhoon has just brought the first breeze, and the horror of natural disasters will only be revealed in the next 24 hours, or even in the next week or even a month.
"That's true."
With her reminder, Kurosawa Mitsuru reacted and was immediately relieved.
Although he can pat his chest and say that this song "Adeline by the Waterside" is definitely many times better than the singles created by South Korea's national-level groups in terms of reputation, melody, honor, value, and power.
However, his foundation is too shallow after all... It is indeed worth being happy that he has achieved what he has today after such a short debut period.
Different from Kyudo competitions, the winner can be directly determined through a showdown of strength and technique.
The value of music varies from person to person. It is a visible but intangible concept.
"This song is popular, be happy."
Seeing his relief, Igarashi Runa patted his arm.
"good."
Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Perhaps the data of real-time audiences is indeed not the highest, but he can be sure that this piano piece will soon be heard throughout the country and even around the world, and will last forever and become a world classic.
"Kurosawa, you have to know that the market is very demanding. Many singers' last song was popular all over the country, but the next song may be ignored. This is true for singers, directors, and writers. Because of this, when you achieve something, don't pursue something that is out of reach, but be content and enjoy the moment. Only by maintaining a stable and positive attitude can you surpass yourself."
In order to prevent him from experiencing such a psychological gap in the future, Igarashi Runa reminded him when she saw his smile.
Many singers and actors, young directors, and writers will encounter similar situations, that is, they have excessive expectations for their own works, thus ignoring the present and completely unaware that the achievements they have made are already very good facts.
"I see... You just said this song is going to be a big hit, how big will it be?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly and then asked.
Speaking of how popular it was, Igarashi Runa was extremely excited and gave him a detailed explanation of why she wanted him to feel her joy:
"860,000 real-time viewers means that in the first round of broadcasts, there were 860,000 views. Just think about it, when you first released "Croatian Rhapsody", it only had 430,000 views in six hours. Just compare it and you will know how exaggerated it is.
The first-day views may be higher than Flight of the Bumblebee. I will know when I wake up tomorrow morning. I already know why Flight of the Bumblebee has so many views overnight. It is because viewers on the other side of the ocean, with regional time differences, are watching videos on YouTube.
It's not that she was making a fuss, but because she has been a practitioner for many years and is very clear about the benefits that these data can bring.
"How much money can this single make?" Kurosawa Hikaru asked again.
Although it is a good thing to release a single and get recognition and praise from fans, but to be realistic, his goal is still to make money and profit.
"I can't estimate it either... If this single can exceed 100 million views on YouTube, it will be around 40 million yen before tax."
Igarashi Runa couldn't come up with a conclusion for this, and could only speak based on what he understood.
You know, the commercial value of a song is difficult to measure and depends on marketing and luck.
In fact, although the firm has not yet launched any formal business activities, the startup capital is almost recovered by uploading videos to YouTube for promotion.
After all, the number of plays for "Croatian Rhapsody" and "Flight of the Bumblebee" is insane.
"I still have to trouble you with making money."
After hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru paused and sighed.
Professional matters should be left to professionals.
Although he has a master-level piano and has world-famous songs from his previous life... but how to maximize the value of the songs is a difficult problem.
After all, he had things to do, not only piano, but also Kyudo, studying, and several girlfriends. He simply couldn't devote himself to the piano.
"What's the trouble? Everyone should do their job."
Igarashi Runa waved her hand. She was very happy to do this kind of work. It was not like she was working for Kurosawa for nothing.
"Chizuru, how about the comments section?"
After exchanging their thoughts, Igarashi Runa noticed that Chizuru had not interrupted and had been playing on the computer with the mouse, so she asked curiously.
"There were a lot of compliments, but there were also a few comments saying it wasn't as good as Flight of the Bumblebee and Croatian Rhapsody, and there was a quarrel in the comment section."
Chizuru Ninomiya, who was bending over and playing on the computer with a graceful figure, turned her head with a faint smile on her lips.
It was clear that she was pleased with the reaction in the comments section.
"Don't worry about that kind of criticism. There will always be people who find fault. As long as it's widely praised, that's fine... How are they praised?"
Igarashi Runa was already accustomed to this situation, so he just asked.
“Most people think this piano piece is very nice.”
Although Ninomiya Chizuru received a lot of compliments, it was difficult for her to repeat them all.
After all, everyone's points of praise are different, but there is still one thing in common, that is, love.
"Only nice comments? No comments saying you're pretty?"
Seeing her bending over and showing her beautiful figure with an amazing waist-to-hip ratio, Kurosawa Hikaru realized that the release of the new single was a huge success, and he put his arm around her waist with some pride.
A person's self-confidence comes from many aspects.
The best way to gain confidence is to succeed.
"What do you think?"
Ninomiya Chizuru did not stop him from putting his arm around her waist, but just rolled her eyes at him.
"Judging from your reaction, they should all be praising your beauty."
Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't help but laugh when he realized that her rolling eyes were as if to say, "You're asking this question even though you already know the answer."
I should say it or not, he really asked the question even though he knew the answer.
Chizuru is impeccable in appearance, figure, and temperament. Coupled with her expert makeup skills, it's hard not to think she's beautiful.
“Just unanimous praise.”
Igarashi Runa couldn't help but take another look at Kurosawa Hikaru hugging Chizuru's small and thin waist, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was happy about the real-time audience number, she knew very well that fan feedback was more important.
After all, the real-time audience count is just an indicator of the number and stickiness of fans. Whether a song is good enough depends on various aspects.
"Some people recognized me and knew that I used to be a teacher at the University of Tokyo."
Ninomiya Chizuru added, having already felt relieved while browsing the comments section.
“How’s the discussion going?”
Igarashi Runa was not surprised by this and asked curiously.
“It was directly ranked as a hot comment.”
Chizuru Ninomiya held the mouse and slid the scroll wheel, and it quickly moved to the top, and then changed the arrangement of the comment area.
"Let me see."
Kurosawa Hikaru poked his head out curiously.
I saw a comment where the mouse pointer was pointing.
IDTodai Fujimura: "The female lead in the MV is Ninomiya Chizuru, a second-year teacher in the Department of Economics at the University of Tokyo."
This comment has a lot of replies, the highest number so far.
"A teacher from the University of Tokyo? Is that true?"
“Isn’t she an artist?”
“I didn’t expect she was such a talented woman.”
"No wonder she has such a good temperament, she is actually a teacher."
"I was wondering why I had never heard of such a beautiful woman before."
"Are you kidding? She looks so young, how could she be a teacher at the University of Tokyo?"
"I can testify that she is indeed a teacher at the University of Tokyo. She was my former teacher."
"I can also testify. I have taken classes from Ms. Ninomiya and her voice is super nice."
"Are you all from Dongda University?"
The identity of the female lead has aroused curiosity in the first place, and now someone has revealed that she is a teacher at the University of Tokyo, which has immediately caused heated discussion.
You know, the University of Tokyo is a very mysterious top university for most people in Japan.
All Japanese people know the name of the University of Tokyo... However, at least half of the people in the country have never been to the University of Tokyo. It is very mysterious and solemn.
"After everyone knew you were a teacher, there was a lot of discussion."
After taking a quick look, Kurosawa Mitsuru didn't see any negative comments that were heartbreaking or eye-catching, and he felt relieved immediately.
Previously, Ms. Runa said that letting Chizuru shoot a MV and uploading it to the Internet might cause big social news, and he was quite worried.
“It’s normal that there is a lot of discussion… The problem lies in what comes next.”
Ninomiya Chizuru was not very surprised by this.
Not to mention teachers from the University of Tokyo, even if they are teachers from any other school, if something they do is made public, it will definitely attract attention.
This attention is not only limited to the student group, but also to the parent group, covering a wide age range.
"I have already contacted the public relations team in advance to handle this aspect, and public opinion will be controlled." Although Igarashi Runa had said it several times, she still reminded.
“When will the official tweet be released?”
Just then, Kurosawa Hikaru saw the subsequent discussion and couldn't help but say.
"Ninomiya-sensei resigned recently. I don't know where she went. I didn't expect to see her again in Zero Hour Master's new MV. Is she going to debut as an artist?"
"No way, you're leaving such a good job as a teacher at the University of Tokyo to become an entertainer?"
Although these two comments were not obviously negative, he could sense that the momentum was not right.
Looking at the whole of Japan, being a teacher at the University of Tokyo is the best, most outstanding, most glorious, and most socially prestigious job.
Although the status of artists in Japan is not looked down upon, it is not on the same level as that of teachers.
The only artist who wants to be recognized and admired by the parents' generation is an artist.
"Wait a little longer. Although the comment section is very lively, these people are scrolling while listening to the song. Most people should be listening to the song repeatedly, waiting for the main battlefield of discussion to move to Twitter."
Igarashi Runa naturally noticed this, but she knew it was not the time to act yet.
After that, she took out her cell phone and sent a message to the public relations team.
Having Chizuru be the female lead in the MV is a double-edged sword.
If the effect is good, then it will naturally be mutually beneficial. If the effect is bad, then it will be troublesome.
At the same time, the hot girls’ group chat became lively again.
The blue-blue beautiful girl: "It's so beautiful. I'm going to sleep listening to this song tonight."
Aoi: "The female lead is the pretty older sister I saw at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan that time, right? She's really pretty."
Hinata: "Yes, it's her."
Sato: "At the time, I was thinking about the people who came to the piano concert, the quality of the audience was so high... I didn't expect that she knew Master Zero Time."
Yamamoto: “Have you seen her?”
Tong: "I wonder what her relationship is with Master Zero Time."
Yuki: "She is really beautiful."
Yuki Ichinose sat on the bed with her back against the wall, chatting with everyone on her cell phone.
She was wearing summer pajamas, with a pair of beautiful legs that were white and tender, her slender toes tightly closed, and she was in a somewhat subtle mood.
This song "Adeline by the Water" is really nice. Listening to its melody can remind her of the memories of her first date with Brother Guang at the beach.
However, she now knew that this piano piece was composed by Guang Ge specifically for Ninomiya Chizuru.
She felt a little jealous, but only a little.
Because Brother Guang had played a song called "Wedding in the Dream" for her before, and also said that he wanted her to be the heroine of the MV.
What impressed her more than jealousy was the beauty of Miss Ninomiya.
Although she had seen her in person that day at the Budokan, she knew the charm of Miss Ninomiya.
But in this MV, the charm and beauty of Chizuru Ninomiya are displayed to the fullest... She is so gorgeous and charming that she is enough to amaze everyone.
No dancing is needed, no extra movements are needed, whether it was the back view at the beginning, the side glance later, or the final smile when looking back, she was amazed.
With such beauty, she is the most stunning beauty in the world, attractive to both men and women, young and old.
“Can my MV be as good as hers?” Yuki Ichinose bit her lip and suddenly felt a little nervous and her heartbeat quickened.
Maybe it’s a good thing that Brother Guang composed a piano piece for her and tailored a MV for her.
But with such a good example before her, she felt like she was standing on the stage and facing off head-on.
…
On the other side of the apartment, also on the bed in the bedroom.
A girl with white hair like a waterfall, skin like winter snow, beautiful face and delicate features, was sitting at the head of the bed, wearing a pair of headphones and holding a mobile phone.
Most of her body was hidden by the thin blanket, but her arms were thin, and you could still see how slender and slim her figure was.
"Kurosawa-senpai plays the piano so beautifully... It would be great if he didn't have a girlfriend."
Miki Baiyu lowered her head, her long hair hanging down, her beautiful light blue eyes reflected the picture on the phone screen, her cherry lips slightly parted, and she sighed unwillingly.
She knew that the Master of Zero Time was Senior Kurosawa.
Because of this, no matter how many times she saw it, she would always be fascinated by his performance.
His gentleness.
His romance.
His elegance.
His power.
His character.
The feeling of knowing what you want but not being able to get it is really frustrating.
