437. Shocked(1/2)
Shinichi Iwahashi was responsible for writing and wrote the names that the four people thought of on the card.
The good old man, Xiao Liu Changfa, implements his "simple and easy to understand" style, and thinks about the kind of names that elementary school students can read.
Although the idea is correct, Shinichi Iwahashi also believes that since it is for the general public, it is crucial to be simple and easy to understand. However, Shinichi Iwahashi thought to himself that the level of the name of Xiaoliu Chang's method is "andyandrok".
How does Miwa-chan evaluate this name?-
I didn't feel the so-called momentum at all. No matter how you look, it doesn't look like it will be red.
Kawatian Tomohisa was similar. In the idea of choosing a cooler name, he finally signed up several of them, all of which were explosive names comparable to "phoenixlegend".
Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't bear to look at him and really wanted to give the sentence "no name talent" to Kawatian Tomohisa.
Both of them rejected the names, so their ideas focused on Hirakawa Tatsuya and Kasui Yukiko.
Compared with "andyandrok" and "phoenixlegend", even Tatsuya Hirakawa's metaphysical argument that "the last letter is s has a higher chance of becoming popular" seems to have become more reliable.
However, Tomohisa Kawata sang a counter-topic with his own team leader, "If you want to say that, there are many well-known bands whose last letter is 'd', such as pinkfloyd, lynyrdskynyrd. Can it be popular? What can the last letter mean?"
He gave an example to name the two bands.
"Indeed, the abnormal's 'l' or the creedeneclearwaterrevival's 'l'." Xiao Liu Changfa pronounced the name of the band in his Japanese-style English.
Shinichi Iwahashi reacted for a while before he understood what he was talking about the American band Claydens Shimizu Revival Choir, which was active in the 1960s and 1970s.
Having said that, these two people have been influenced by Western music enough.
Xiao Liu Changfa was not just adding fuel to the fire, but just completely declaring the facts and adding a sentence along Kawata Tomohisa's ideas. But the more this happens, the more effective it is to dissuade him.
Tatsugu Hirakawa also thought about it, but also felt that his ideas were a bit untenable.
The most important thing is to increase the probability of becoming popular, add a ‘s’ to the band name. If it doesn’t become popular at that time, it will feel uncomfortable to see this name again.
After walking around, the idea proposed by Yukiko Kasui should be more serious.
What is the meaning or something, it is more important to have enough momentum.
A strong momentum means cool enough, and there are many simple and easy-to-understand words at the beginning of the blast sound. Kuchiko's thoughts, whether it is Kawata Tomohisa or Koryo Masa, can find their ideal parts here.
To be honest, she would unify three opinions at once.
The four of them gathered their minds and took out all the words they could think of. After discussing a lot, they all looked forward to the name "blizzard".
This name is pronounced in Japanese style Katakana, and it is called "How to hide if you ignore it."
Having said that, Blizzard has not yet been established at this time, right?
Shinichi Iwahashi stared at the name and read it several times, but felt that it was not easy to read. It would be better to name a catchy one.
After thinking for a long time, I stretched out a finger to block the "bliz" of the "blizzard" on the paper.
“Zard…ok?”
He seemed to be asking for advice from the four people in the band, or asking himself.
“zard?”
The four people in the band also read it twice.
"Is there the word zard?" Hirakawa Tatsuya also recalled for a moment and asked.
Kuchi Yukiko thought about it and shook her head, "It seems that there is no." After a pause, she added carefully, "However, there are several related words, such as 'hazard', 'wizard' and so on."
"That's a word that is created?" Kawata Tomohisa said. He had no objection. Whether it was blizzard or hacked, it was pretty cool anyway.
Even Xiao Liu Changfa has no objection. "zard" is very easy to pronounce, just in line with his simple and easy-to-understand idea.
Shinichi Iwahashi took away his fingers, covered the "bliz", looked at it again and again, then picked up the pen and rewritten the "zard".
...
"Is the name of the band determined to be zard?"
At the signing ceremony, the representative from Xingchen Office confirmed Xiang Iwahashi Shinichi.
"Is it meaningful?"
Shinichi Iwahashi denied, "There is no special meaning. Of course, if you want to interpret it, you can find several corresponding words, such as blizzard, hackard, etc. The most important thing is to be easy to remember and catchy."
He also pointed out one more thing, "The name can be created by people, and sometimes it can be bound by people. Another advantage of using self-created words is that it can not be bound by the original meaning of the words, and can make the band's creative style more free."
"That's right." The representative from Xingchen Firm accepted this remark.
Finalizing the name of the band, there is another thing to decide on the name. At the Xingchen Office, Yuki Kazui was mentioned.
"It's about the name Sakiko Kasui."
Xingchen Firm mentioned this, "Pu Chi was active as a photo model before, and during this period he used his real name 'Pu Chi Yukiko'. Now he is planning to debut as the band lead singer. Should he change his stage name?"
The reasons for giving the stage name are strange, but when Xingchen Office mentioned this, the point of pointing to it was quite clear, which was to completely cut off the modeling career of Kuchi Yukiko while debuting.
Changing a name and surname means changing the face.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi objected to the change of his name.
If Kuroichi Yukiko had not invited him to meet, his opinion might not have been so firm. Or, if Kuroichi Yukiko felt that this past should have been cut off, he would have respected her.
However, taking the initiative to meet him is to convey the attitude she conveyed, which made Shinichi Iwahashi think that Satoko should continue to use the name "Satoko Puke" as she did not regret.
It’s not that this modeling career activity involves the issue of name copyright. Unless the name is changed, there is no way to re-engineer the artistic activity. If it is simply to cut from the past, there is no need.
Not only that, Shinichi Iwahashi also believes that it is okay to continue to do the modeling work of Yukiko Kasui.
Of course, it is not the kind of photo model, but the kind of fashion magazines that are feminine. Kusui Yukiko has a good figure proportion. She has seen it these few times and her dressing taste is also good. In addition, her temperament is very close to urban women, so she should be quite in line with the atmosphere of fashion magazines.
Besides, fashion magazines also have their own promotional function.
Shinichi Iwahashi's ideas are used to the lead singer of a rock band. In this era, it seems somewhat "non-mainstream".
However, he did not think there was no possibility of trying it out. Anyway, he has not done anything to sing opposites to mainstream people since he entered the industry.
It is not a solution to blindly follow the times. It is more interesting to create the times.
...
Shinichi Iwahashi and Xingchen Firm have different opinions on whether to change the stage name. However, I need to ask for my opinion on the name of the band, just as Shinichi Iwahashi himself made the decision and then notified them.
Shinichi Iwahashi believed that between continuing to call the original name and changing the stage name, Yukiko Puchi would choose the former. As expected, during the negotiations with her, Yukiko Puchi said that she was willing to continue to carry out band activities under the name "Yakiko Puchi".
The band's production was fully entrusted to Shinichi Iwahashi. Although the Star Office hoped to make a comeback when Kuchiko debuted, it was not the kind of tough "it was necessary".
To put it bluntly, Shinichi Iwahashi thinks it is unnecessary, and there is no need to deny the past. However, Xingchen Firm believes that even if he has been a modeling career for only about half a year, the impact will not be very big even if he does not change his appearance.
Now, since she herself thinks so, Xingchen Firm goes with the flow and agrees to let Yukiko Kasui debut under her real name.
All the names are decided, and the formal signing of the contract can be carried out.
After the contract was signed, the zard band consisting of Yukiko Kasui, Tatsuya Hirakawa, Tomohisa Kawata and Masahara Koriya officially put the record contract under the name of genzo. Next, Shinichi Iwahashi will serve as the producer to prepare for their debut.
After signing the record contract, everything was settled.
Until the most wanted to get it, Shinichi Iwahashi was chatting and asked a question to the representative of Xingchen Office, "By the way, all models named Yude Jingzi of your business participated in the selection of the band's lead singer with Pu Chisang."
"Is that true?" The representative of Xingchen Firm showed a polite expression. It seemed that he had no impression of the name Yude Jingzi at all. After all, he was just a small model.
"That Yudesang has good singing skills and his voice is also distinctive."
Shinichi Iwahashi praised a few words and asked for people, "The record company was just established and it was a shortage of staff. If you don't mind, can you lend her to us to help sing harmony or test the song? Or, my production company undertakes the production of some cover albums, so what if you ask Yu Desang to sing too."
Of course, whether you are singing harmony or singing a cover collection, you have to sign a serious job contract and pay a salary, and you will get a commission from Xingchen Firm. It is no different from taking photos.
During the signing and negotiation stage, Shinichi Iwahashi was worried that his hand would go wrong and did not mention Yude Jingzi's affairs at all. Now that the matter has settled, he can bring up this matter.
Of course, he just mentioned it in this casual tone. Not only that, he could give Yu De Jingzi a little music-related job, and he couldn't sign her down.
Just signed in to Yukiko Kamichi, Shinichi Iwahashi admired Yude Keiko's courage to sing and also admitted her musical potential, but it was not convenient to ask for her record appointment from Xingchen Office.
To bring people over, you need to have work to do and have specific plans.
After signing for Yukiko Kazui, she had the position of lead singer to fill it immediately, but after signing for Yude Keiko's record contract, Shinichi Iwahashi made her debut immediately.
Since this is the case, Xingchen Firm will no longer release a record contract for an unknown model because it does not make money.
Besides, as a businessman, Shinichi Iwahashi would not do a loss-making business. He just paid a contract fee to sign in to fulfill her "dream". To put it bluntly, there are many people who can sing, but if you want to debut, you must have the capital to debut.
It would be better to give Yu De Jingzi a music-related job first.
Let her get in touch with music and get all the commissions for Star Affairs. At the same time, during the contact process, Shinichi Iwahashi can learn more about her, maybe find inspiration and discover the route she can take.
...
In the evening, Yude Jingzi received a call from his agent.
"Yude, if you have a job, do you want to do it? It's related to music."
“What kind of job is it?”
"Do you remember the last time you went to the band lead singer selection hosted by genzo?"
"Didn't the lead singer choose Pu Chisang in the office?"
"It's right that I chose Pu Chi. The record contract has been signed. I'm about to prepare for my debut. The progress sounds quite fast." The young model transformed into a rock band lead singer. The agent felt it was a bit strange and wanted to say a few more words.
"Yeah." Yu De Jingzi felt a little bored first.
