203. Shunji Iwai

The director candidates for MV are given to Warner Pioneer. It is easy for them to find. Just choose from new directors from film schools or TV stations. Anyway, the key to being cheap is low-quality.

After searching for it, I finally used a new director named Shunji Iwai.

When Shinichi Iwahashi said the name, he didn't react much, but was surprised.

Among Japanese directors, Shunji Iwai is a famous name. Not to mention anything else, just a famous work like "Love Letter" that is not faded is enough to make this name well-known to many people.

It is enough to make Shinichi Iwahashi remember this name for a long time, from the previous life to this life.

The name Shunji Iwai is not an ordinary name like Ken Sato who can catch a lot of things. In addition, he is a director, so there will be almost zero situations in "Senko and Soko".

Shinichi Iwahashi found it incredible. The future director will shoot MVs for Morika Chihiro... How magical it is.

But it is not surprising to think about it. The great director is "future" after all. Shunji Iwai is just a person who is no different from an unknown producer like him, who is stepping on the mud and not climbing up.

In this case, what is it that I received the job of filming MVs for new singers?

So after the accident, Shinichi Iwahashi thought more about it. Shunji Iwai came to shoot Morika Chihiro's MV, and the theme was to show the girl's youthful vitality... What would he take?

Shunji Iwai is now the director of Fuji TV. Although he has tinkered with short films, he has no splash. He is basically unknown. He makes a living by filming short films and advertisements, and also hone himself.

In this way, he must keep his style from being worn out and becoming more distinct, and at the same time he must listen to the client's request and shoot according to their requirements.

It is not easy to find a sense of balance. When he received the MV shooting work, he didn't think the job was worth mentioning. With a meticulous personality, he went to know Morika Qianli, listened to her songs, drew a storyboard seriously, and took a MV who was in order to show the youthful vitality of a girl with an attitude towards film.

Because of this, after getting the shooting plan, not only Shinichi Iwahashi, but also the entire team was amazed by his plan, and there was no need to question the level of professional directors.

The producer of the MV shooting did not need to go to the scene to stare, so Shinichi Iwahashi had never met Shunji Iwai from beginning to end, but it doesn't matter whether he or not, the future is long.

Not only did they not meet Shunji Iwai, but after the recording was finished, Shinichi Iwahashi also suspended the meeting with Chihiro Mori Takayaki.

This kind of holiday will not last long. Because they got the right to produce two singles at once, the production of the next single must also enter the preparation stage before the beginning. Because of this, even the contract signed with Shunji Iwai is the MV of the two singles. After filming this time, after the next single is finished, he will have to work on him again.

The next single is scheduled to be released in early December. Speaking of December, it is snow and Christmas. In short, it is a month when the festive atmosphere is strong and the body is cold and the heart is warm.

Shinichi Iwahashi has a clear goal, seizing the seasons and festivals as themes, and creating a Christmas song.

...

While preparing for Morikatsu Chihiro's next single, the first episode of "The Band Heaven" that has been prepared for a long time is getting closer and closer.

"Band Heaven" adopts the form of live broadcast. The talent show adopts live broadcast to gain the trust of the audience more than recording broadcasts, and also increases the sense of excitement. Not only that, the strength of the band seems to be more crucial.

One or two months before the show started, Asahi TV began to arrange publicity one after another. The closer the time was, the publicity became denser. TV series and record sales were to be promoted, and variety shows were the same.

Asahi TV's new music program "musicstation" has good ratings and is also a music series, and the advertisement for "Band Heaven" also appears in the gap between the advertisements of "MS".

In addition, radio and music magazines have also been linked, and opinions survey cards were attached to the cooperative music magazines, encouraging viewers to send their comments to the TV station after watching the program.

Although this formation is late at night, it is indeed made with ambition.

At the same time, the amateur bands also received their own TV match qualification letters.

The three members of the selected human chair were freed up in advance for the day and asked for leave from the place where they worked. The two college students, who were also selected, were also ready to set off from Kanagawa to Tokyo.

...

In another corner of Tokyo, Takao Tashima, who was not selected but received the invitation to record the second program, prepared the video tape early in the morning. He had a performance in Livehouse that night, so he planned to record the current program and see what kind of opponent his band will face.

Everything is ready until the day the first episode starts broadcasting.

The selected amateur bands are full of energy, and the audience who are interested in the band are also very excited, and those who are attracted by advertising are also looking at this... There are also fixed audiences during this period, looking at this new program with a scrutiny mentality.

When others are expecting or curious, Shinichi Iwahashi seems to be unenthusiastic as the planner of the program.

It's normal to think about it. I made all kinds of preparations in advance. The bands selected them themselves after watching the video, considering the performance of the program. This meticulous preparation consumed Shinichi Iwahashi's enthusiasm for the program, and seemed indifferent to the broadcast of the program. In contrast, they were more concerned about the result ratings and winners.

...

"Moshimothy...is it a mother?"

In the evening, Shinjuku Kamisaki Real Estate, Yukiko Kamii took the receiver and called the phone home.

The mother picked up the phone, which made Kuchi Yukiko unconsciously relax. Her father was a traditional and old-fashioned person. In contrast, talking to her gentle and considerate mother made her feel more at ease.

Kuchi Yukiko called home to tell her mother that she would not go back to Qin Ye’s home tonight and would stay in Tokyo to attend a yacht party organized by the real estate company.

In the bubble era, all kinds of carnival parties are available every night. The business of Kamisaki Real Estate is booming and he is even more generous. Various subsidies are as good as group activities.

In the receptionist of the real estate company, Kuchi Yuki is not the kind of person who likes to join in the fun. She often refuses invitations from colleagues politely, but she still has to participate in activities organized in the name of the company.

Explain the situation and told her mother that she didn't have to go to the station to pick her up tonight. After hanging up the phone, Kuchi Yukiko breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and saw the bright smiling face of Junko Aoyama, who was also the receptionist.

"Yuiko," Junko Aoyama was full of expectations, "You must enjoy the next party!"
