Chapter 281 Mr. Flirt
A sweet date must have a beginning and an end.
After watching Xiao Yuki walk into the house, Kurosawa Hikaru turned and left.
Although it was a special trip, he still enjoyed it. After all, it was quite fun to send his little girlfriend home.
Back home, it was exactly 8pm.
He took out his phone and took a look at it, and saw the message from Xiao Yuki.
"My neighbor's uncle told my dad, and he still found out."
"He started smoking again."
"I smoked a lot of them at once."
"Your dad quit smoking. Did he quit on his own initiative, or was your mom asking him to quit?"
Seeing this information, Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a while and asked.
"It seems that my mother asked him to quit when she was pregnant with me."
"He also smoked for a while when I was in junior high school. It was when I hid in my room and was depressed, but that was just that period."
"All right."
Seeing Xiao Yuki's replies one by one, Kurosawa Hikaru probably had an idea.
To be honest, he suspected that this father-in-law took this opportunity to smoke.
I said I quit smoking, but I didn't quit completely, and I still smoke occasionally.
"By the way, Brother Guang, many fans on my Twitter are urging me to post new pictures... Is it time to post new pictures?"
At this moment, Ichinose Yuki changed the topic.
"You can send out the one for the girl with glasses, but don't send out the one for the lolita with twin tails yet."
Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a moment and then gave his suggestion.
All in all, it has been more than half a month since Xiao Yuki registered an account.
It is normal for fans to urge for new pictures.
The three outfits he matched for Yuki at that time were all of a very high standard in terms of makeup and photography.
For those three sets of images, he even made a special trip to the Internet to research the popular makeup.
Different from ancient military skills such as archery, photography, makeup, etc., although there are sayings that classics will never go out of style, if they do not keep pace with the times, they will still fall behind the times.
When chatting about this matter, they also connected on video and exchanged ideas on how to write copy.
After tinkering for half an hour, the new picture was sent out, and the two of them also watched the reaction on Twitter along with the video.
"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!"
"goddess!"
"Senior sister is so beautiful!"
The response in the comment section was pretty good. Fans who paid special attention to Xiao Yuki came to comment within a few minutes.
"Wow, the comments came so quickly this time." Xiao Yuki was a little surprised to see such a response.
"Because you really have fans this time." Seeing the situation in the comment area, Kurosawa Hikaru was also very satisfied. He clicked on the pictures and looked at them carefully.
Although the setting is a little bad, after all, we are in a hotel, not in a library, which is more suitable for girls with glasses and literary girls.
But he also prepared books for the filming, so the overall performance was still very good.
For such a set of pictures, he purely relied on his photography skills to shoot, such as exposure, color contrast, etc., all adjusted directly with the function of a SLR without post-retouching.
The key to such a remarkable effect lies in Xiao Yuki as a model, a pair of eyes that discover beauty, and the level of makeup.
In fact, Xiao Yuki's appearance is super high, she is naturally beautiful, and she is very beautiful even without makeup.
The most important thing is that she is very talented as a model, able to control various makeup styles, and has a strong sense of atmosphere. As long as she finds the right angle and timing, she can take amazing pictures.
While chatting and laughing, Kurosawa's phone vibrated slightly, and a message popped up.
The sender is Runa Igarashi. The message is very short, with only one sentence:
"Are you busy?"
"I'm not busy, what's wrong?"
Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Hikaru immediately clicked on it, made the message read, and replied.
"Brother Guang, what's wrong?"
Because his expression changed, as if something had attracted his attention, Yuki Ichinose asked curiously.
"Miss Runa has a message." Kurosawa Hikaru didn't hide it from her either.
"Then chat with her for a while first."
"We can chat together. I'll text her to communicate."
"I'm not jealous, it's just that if you have something to do, you should deal with it first. It's not too late to talk slowly after you are done."
Yuki Ichinose saw his reaction and explained with a smile.
"Okay." Realizing that she was considerate and sensible, Kurosawa nodded.
As the video hung up, Igarashi Runa sent another message: "Are you still a Zero Hour?"
"Definitely."
Kurosawa Hikaru still likes playing the piano.
Regardless of this identity, although he can also play the piano, he is missing an opportunity after all.
"Youtobe fans are urging new videos, and fans on Twitter and social platforms are urging new activities. I plan to release the video for "Flight of the Bumblebee". What do you think?"
After receiving this answer, Igarashi Runa typed again.
There is also a stock video on Zero Hour Office’s laptop, which is of a flying bee.
It was specially recorded after Kurosawa's piano skills were upgraded to proficiency.
"Where are you? Is Miss Ninomiya with you?"
Thinking of this incident, Kurosawa Hikaru also asked after thinking about it.
Is it possible that this contact is a good signal... Miss Ninomiya is more arrogant and difficult to respond to, so she asked Miss Runa to contact him.
"I'm at home, not with her."
"Can I make a video? I can't tell you clearly by typing."
After thinking about it, Kurosawa Hikaru temporarily suppressed his unnecessary thoughts and asked.
"Okay." After a full minute, Igarashi Runa agreed, probably after a lot of inner struggle.
Immediately, as the video application was sent, the call was quickly connected.
The screen of Kurosawa Hikaru's mobile phone showed a very good-looking face. That was Runa Igarashi. She was probably at home. Her short silver-gray hair was a little fluffy and not neatly combed.
"Good evening, Miss Runa."
After seeing her again after two days, Kurosawa Hikaru felt as if he was in another world and spoke.
This greeting is a bit unfamiliar, different from before... Although they have never had a video call before, they usually talk in detail in person, or communicate by typing.
"Good evening, Mr. Huaxin."
Igarashi Runa responded calmly to this greeting.
"Well……"
Hearing this title, Kurosawa Hikaru could feel her dissatisfaction with him, which was a bit heartbreaking.
In fact, he could guess that Miss Runa would not be as close and friendly to him as before.
After all, when Chizuru Ninomiya ran away crying, before Runa Igarashi followed him, she looked at him and sighed, with disappointed and complicated eyes.
"Just kidding, don't pay attention."
Seeing his worried look, Igarashi Runa also said.
A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea.
"Actually, this is the case. I have re-researched the image issue of Zero Hour in the past two days."
Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't guess her mood, so he simply got to the point.
"Image?"
Talking about business, Igarashi Runa was also puzzled.
"Hold on."
Seeing the confused look on her face, Kurosawa Hikaru also stood up and returned to the room with his cell phone.
"I have new inspiration in the past two days. I think the mask from the previous Zero Hour was still a bit monotonous. As a logo and brand image, it was not recognizable and unique enough, so I redesigned it. Take a look."
Soon, he walked into the room, turned on the light, came to the desk, took out the things and put them in order, which was also an explanation.
After he was ready, he adjusted the camera and recorded the paper on the table.
“As for this image, I was thinking about the complete unity of zero hour and image, which is the clock plus the zero pointer.”
As he was recording, Kurosawa looked at the image on the paper and explained.
The clothes are still the same, but the mask has been completely changed.
The original single number 0 became a dial with hours, minutes, and hour hands painted on it.
In addition, there are two small discs that can be used as eye positions.
To put it bluntly, this time the image design has become more personalized as the painting skills have been upgraded to proficiency.
"Your logo and image design are as weird as ever, but they have also maintained their uniqueness and are better than before... But artists are different from technology products. The speed of innovation and updates cannot be too frequent."
Through the camera of her mobile phone, Igarashi Runa saw the new image on the paper. She was actually quite satisfied, but it also raised difficulties.
The image of Zero Hour has been shown through the war mourning "Croatian Rhapsody" on the video website, as well as the curtain call performance at the piano competition, Liszt's "The Bell", "Adelina by the Water", three piano pieces, and has been It completely made him famous.
So far, it has accumulated a considerable number of fans, and everyone is completely accustomed to Zero Hour's weird mask.
What's more, during this period, there were many derivative fanarts, namely gentleman hats, zero-hour masks, tuxedos, white shirts, and suit pants. This set can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"I know that it is best to have a fixed image of a public figure to be more recognizable... However, considering the long-term development and surrounding production issues, the performance effects can still be changed."
"The performance will also be better?"
"For example, if there is any large-scale concert in the future, you can make a short video on the big screen and use a clock to count down. The countdown starts at 11:59 and I will appear on time at 0 o'clock."
"But the numerical countdown you mentioned before is also feasible, 10, 9, 8, 7... wait until the moment 0 is reached, and then you will appear."
"Many people have this way of performing, but it's not unique enough."
"Do you think it would be better if I changed it?"
"Yes, if I design clothing peripherals in the future, this logo will be more beautiful and more recognizable. And for fans, if they are used to this image and see a standard clock, they will be more likely to associate it with Zero Hour This name.”
Kurosawa nodded slightly. It was not enough to make money from records alone. If he could create a trendy brand, that would be the real money.
You know, under the fan effect and follower effect, fashionable clothing brands are a profitable business.
"That's true."
"Although the update speed is very fast, the time now is still early to further improve the image. In the future, there will really be no chance to change it. I plan to re-record the video of the flying bee and take this opportunity to promote it. "
"Are you going to record the video again? Put on this new mask?"
"right."
“It takes time to find someone to customize.”
"how long?"
"It should be done in two days. Just spend money and have people work hard to process it... That piece of paper should be the design draft, right?"
"Yes."
"Where are you now?"
"At home."
"I'm going to get the design draft. This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible. The fans have been urging us for many days."
After deciding on this matter, Igarashi Runa took into account the pros and cons and acted decisively.
