In the afternoon, Kurosawa Hikaru went to the office to record ten piano pieces for the album.
The actual number of recordings is nine, because "Wedding in a Dream" played on a perfect-grade piano has already been recorded.
Recording an album is different from playing casually, so Chizuru Ninomiya and Runa Igarashi both listened with headphones on the center console. They could not walk into the recording studio together and watch from the side like before.
The recording process went extremely smoothly.
Because Kurosawa Hikaru's level is so high, there is no possibility of re-recording or supplementary recording, and everything is passed in one go.
For him, fulfilling the contract business is nothing more than playing ten piano pieces, and he can get Apple's 100 billion song copyright agency fee and sales share.
…
On that day, Yuki Ichinose's life also underwent a huge change.
In fact, she had become popular once before, but she was an internet celebrity at that level, and her scope was limited to the city of Tokyo, mainly around various universities.
But this time it was different. She was the heroine in the song MV of the currently popular and sought-after Zero Hour Master. She became an overnight sensation, and her fame spread across the country and even the world.
She does yoga at home in the morning to warm up and goes to dance class in the afternoon.
Perhaps before this, she was very conspicuous in the dance class because she was too beautiful, whether it was her figure, appearance, or temperament.
However, today, the other students in the dance class looked at her with awe after seeing her.
There is surprise, curiosity, jealousy, admiration and love.
"Ichinose, are you the blonde bride?"
With her arrival, the dance class teacher called her out for a private talk.
“Ah… Yeah.”
Yuki Ichinose was stunned when she heard that, but nodded when she saw her teacher's enthusiastic and excited reaction.
"Have you ever studied ballet? You dance so beautifully in the music video."
The dance teacher was very excited to get her affirmation.
Dance and music are two completely linked fields. As the saying goes, there is no song without sound and no dance without movement.
Because of this, she is also a fan of Zero Hour Master.
At 0:00 am last night, God knows how excited she was when she saw the scene in the MV of the song "Dream Wedding" on her YouTube live broadcast channel where Yuki Ichinose turned around and smiled at the camera.
"I never learned ballet before, it was the photographer who taught me."
Faced with the teacher's praise and recognition, Yuki Ichinose felt unprecedented attention and was overjoyed.
"You have no basics, and he just taught you a little bit, and you can dance like that?"
"It wasn't just one move. It took me more than an hour to learn it, and the photographer corrected me over and over again before I could dance like that."
"You can dance like this in just one hour, you are a ballet genius... You shouldn't learn modern dance, you should learn ballet."
The dance teacher was shocked and even more regretful, regretting why he had not discovered Yuki Ichinose's amazing talent before.
"I'm not really interested in ballet. I just want to learn modern dance."
Although she praised him a lot, Ichinose Yuki did not get cocky but shook her head.
She is very self-aware and knows that her ballet talent is just so-so.
The reason why she can dance ballet so well in the MV is because Brother Guang taught her well and it is also because of the short time.
Brother Guang’s ballet skills are extremely high, and his understanding of dance is even deeper. He taught her some moves step by step.
In the MV, the total time she danced was less than 30 seconds.
"Don't you want to learn ballet?"
"Ballet should be learned from childhood. It's too late for me to learn it now."
“For people with talent, it’s never too late to do anything.”
"… "
Yuki Ichinose was a little confused and didn't know how to reject her enthusiasm.
"Okay... Ichinose, the teacher has a request, I wonder if I can tell you."
Seeing her expression, the dance teacher, who was not the type to like to make things difficult for others, realized that something was wrong and forced himself to calm down.
"Teacher, please speak."
"If you have the chance in the future, can you tell everyone during an interview that you learned dancing in our dance troupe?"
This is her main purpose, because Yuki Ichinose is so famous that it is simply terrifying.
Even though their dance troupe has trained many artists and star idols, they are not even on the same level as Yuki Ichinose.
You know, Yuki Ichinose is an artist of Zero Hour Agency and has also reached a cooperation with Master Zero Hour.
Just one MV is enough to elevate Yuki Ichinose to the altar.
If there is further cooperation in the future, it is only a matter of time before Yuki Ichinose reaches the pinnacle of Japan as an artist.
"Even if you didn't ask me to do this, I would still do this."
Hearing this request, Yuki Ichinose agreed without hesitation.
Miss Igarashi had already told her about this.
Revealing which dance troupe you practice with is like telling your fans which school your alma mater is. Both are information that can do no harm to expose.
After talking with the teacher for a while, the teacher went to find her colleague with the good news, while she went back to the dance studio to warm up and wait for class.
However, as soon as she walked through the door, she was surrounded by other students.
"Ichinose, you are so amazing. You actually became the heroine of Master Zero Time's MV."
"Ichinose, I didn't expect you to be an artist of Zero Time Agency... Can you tell me what are the requirements and standards of Zero Time Agency for artists?"
"Ichinose, have you seen the real mask of Master Zero Time? Is he handsome?"
In an instant, she seemed to have become the protagonist of the entire dance class, surrounded by everyone like a star.
It was already 6pm when the dance class was over. Yuki Ichinose returned home and was taking off her shoes at the entrance when she discovered that there were guests at home.
Several young ladies came, but since they were visiting a girl’s home, none of them brought their boyfriends with them.
"Yuki, you're really famous now."
Shiina Lan heard the noise and ran out from the living room, naturally to congratulate.
"Yuki, you are truly stunningly beautiful."
Akizuki Aoi was also amazed. She knew that Yuki was very beautiful, with natural beauty and a good foundation. She had always been the beauty of the four hot girls group.
However, after putting on makeup, Yuki Ichinose appeared in the MV, and with the help of background music, she was simply stunningly beautiful.
"The discussion about you in the class group and the school group is really exaggerated. They are all crazy about @ing you to show up."
The children of Matsushita also gathered around and looked at Ichinose Yuki with great pride.
It feels like your friend has suddenly become a very powerful person.
Perhaps the difference in fame and status would lead to estrangement, but since Yuki Ichinose had just become famous, it wouldn't be that case.
…
The villa is very quiet at night and the lights are bright.
"Kurosawa, could you please make dinner?"
Igarashi Runa walked out of the kitchen with a sad face, holding a ringing cell phone.
"Of course."
Hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru stood up decisively.
If it weren't for the fact that Runa-san liked to cook, he wouldn't mind cooking whenever he had the chance.
Because mastery-level skills not only bring him talents and abilities, but also preferences.
Mastering Japanese cuisine made him truly fall in love with cooking...excluding washing dishes.
Walking into the kitchen, Kurosawa Mitsuru took over the task of cooking dinner and showed off his skills.
20 minutes later, Kurosawa Mitsuru came out one by one carrying the food.
"Have you been talking for so long?"
After Igarashi Runa smiled and greeted someone and finally hung up the phone, Kurosawa Mitsuru asked curiously.
"This is not the call just now. I received 5 calls while you were cooking."
Igarashi Runa shook her head and explained.
"With so many calls, can't you just hang up?"
Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't understand this situation.
Neither in his previous life nor in this life has he ever been so busy with business that the phone keeps ringing.
Although he is successful in his career now, he has a special identity as a masked artist, and only few people in the circle know him.
"They are all my friends in the entertainment industry. It would be bad if I didn't accept the offer... They all saw Ichinose's sudden popularity and are eyeing the position of the female lead in your song MV. They want to compete with me for it."
Igarashi Runa sighed and felt a headache.
Unlike Chizuru Ninomiya who has a Twitter account but does not have real-name authentication or make it public and only uses it as a private account, Yuki Ichinose, as an artist and public figure, has directly taught the industry a lesson.
The heroine of Zero Hour’s song MV has such a terrifying influence that she gained 3 million followers in just one night.
As the news continued to ferment during the day, Yuki Ichinose's Twitter account had soared to 7 million followers.
The number of followers increased so much in just one day, which is enough to show how exaggerated the growth rate is.
With such exaggerated publicity channels and incredible exposure rates, all major agencies in the industry went crazy. Like hungry wolves smelling meat, they all pounced on the event, wanting to get a piece of the pie for their own leading female artists.
The effect of making someone famous is much greater than taking the trouble to make movies, TV series, hold concerts, and run promotions.
However, she has no say in the matter of the female lead in the MV.
And there was no way she could agree to this, because Kurosawa Hikaru's plan was to make Ichinose Yuki famous.
It is worth mentioning that because the album was recorded very quickly, in the afternoon, Runa Igarashi made a special trip and personally delivered the memory card to the Japanese branch of Apple Music.
The album audio needs further review, even frame by frame, to ensure it is correct. After all, this is a business matter of great importance.
Reviewing ten songs requires a lot of effort.
That being said, Apple is very efficient.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Apple contacted Runa Igarashi and sent a text of the announcement. After confirmation by both parties, it officially released a tweet on its official Twitter account.
This tweet contains a lot of text, but the core points are: Zero Hour's album was sold by Apple at a cost of 100 billion yen!
The Twitter accounts of Reiji and Igarashi Runa also retweeted and responded to this tweet immediately.
