473. I Worth You and Me(1/2)
After hearing this, Shinichi Iwahashi was quite surprised.
Unexpectedly, Watanabe Manyumi had some friendship with his sister in private.
When it comes to establishing a record company, Watanabe Manyumi had contact with Iwahashi Asako. The two professional women had a good impression of each other.
Shinichi Iwahashi vacated his itinerary for the wedding several weeks in advance. With such a big fanfare, Watanabe Manyumi naturally knew that this day was the day when Iwahashi Asoko got married.
However, she had not had a deep relationship with Iwahashi Asako and could not attend the wedding. Despite this, a week before the wedding, she still sent a gift to Iwahashi Asako's office to congratulate her on her wedding.
In response, Iwahashi Asoko also sent a return gift to Watanabe Manyumi.
"So."
Shinichi Iwahashi did not intend to ask the domineering president how deep the so-called friendship between his elite sister was to the point of being in a bad mood, and what she thought of Toko and instead focused on another question: "As Toko's younger brother, what can I be congratulated on."
He was also worried about the ridicule of Watanabe Manyumi just now, and he felt that his sister and Watanabe Manyumi had joined forces to make a move, so he asked Shinichi Iwahashi to deliberately use words to push her.
Occasionally, seeing him so stingy once, the point is that occasionally, Watanabe Manyumi doesn't think he is looking for trouble, but it's quite fun, so she deliberately took it back, "Asakusan gets married, congratulations to Shinichikkun for being the first priority in the family to get married."
You are not the same...
Before Shinichi Iwahashi started to complain, he realized that Wanyumi Watanabe's extremely exquisite "Ya" and couldn't help laughing. The thought of continuing to argue with her just now disappeared.
It is truly worthy of being Watanabe Manyumi, and it can easily resolve things.
But, until now, neither of them took the marriage as a topic of jokes and continued.
...
After attending the wedding, I came to Watanabe Manyumi's office, not to be so hot that she looked hot with her eyes. On the eve of the wedding, Shinichi Iwahashi and Hiroyuki Narida reached a consensus that it was the main thing to convey this matter to her.
However, after hearing that Watanabe Manyumi said that she had a bit of friendship with Iwahashi Asuko, Iwahashi Shinichi was a little curious and wanted to know Narita Hiroyuki through him. Do you know that Asuko and Watanabe Manyumi have been in private with each other?
But the next second, I first made a denial in my heart.
With Iwahashi Asuko's personality, he would not do such a thing that goes beyond the line. On the other hand, even if Hiroyuki Narita wanted to know Watanabe Manyumi, the way he chose would be through Iwahashi Shinichi.
"...Anyway, I talked about this with Narita's brother-in-law yesterday."
After hearing this, Manyumi Watanabe smiled, "Naruda Sang is willing to help contact us? That will be much smoother."
There are some things that need not be said explicitly. Narita Hiroyuki is Shinichi Iwahashi's brother-in-law, and it is the power he can gain. Shinichi Iwahashi sent a signal of help from Narita Hiroyuki, and attracted his brother-in-law to join, or to get rid of the situation where he could only rely on the influence of Watanabe's family.
Narita's joining Hiroyuki will not play a decisive role in the band's promotion this time. However, as long as he is involved and the closer he is, the more he can do for this cooperative relationship.
In the long run, the more power you can use, the better. At first, it is to borrow strength, but then it is to win-win.
Using Narita Kinashinori's joining as a guide, the two talked about the promotional plan this time.
It was decided to sing the reorganized "Future Prediction Picture ii" at the Red and White Song Festival, and the original promotional plan of Shin-kan Iwahashi must also change as well.
That's how it is. The one who is smart and capable is Prime Minister Zhuge.
"I originally wanted to focus on the promotion after the New Year, but now I need to adjust it."
Shinichi Iwahashi said that he wanted to add a piece of publicity during the period before the New Year and promote the song through radio broadcasts.
"Playing songs on the radio." Wanyumi Watanabe thought for a moment.
Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "The locust is critically ill, and the self-sacrifice order is promulgated, and the private entertainment activities have been greatly affected. If the wedding of Tokiko had not been booked a few months in advance, it would probably not be held as usual."
"Not only are large-scale events affected, but now, the year-end meeting at the end of the year can't be held as vigorously as in previous years. As for various Christmas events, there is only a cancellation."
"Don't this kind of atmosphere feel boring for couples in love?"
Shinichi Iwahashi asked quips, his tone filled with gloating of a single man.
Originally, this winter Valentine's Day, where couples take the opportunity to abuse dogs, was the day for men and women to date and give gifts and sleep. Now, due to the order of self-sacrifice, the shopping street is deserted, and many plans had to be ruined.
"But, men may take the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief."
In order to respond to him, Watanabe Manyumi also joked casually.
Indeed, the plan to lose money will save a considerable amount of dating expenses. For this era when men may not be able to get a date opportunity even if they pay the bill, it is indeed worth the men to quietly breathe a sigh of relief and secretly thank the Locust for being critically ill.
"However, this kind of 'powerless' may also become our opportunity." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
If the couples were running at full speed as usual at the end of this year, they would not delay eating, drinking and having fun, and they would probably be more willing to go to Discori to play a song "Kun's Eyes Off You~canttakemyeyesoffyou" than to listen to a slowly moving song "The Future Prediction Picture Ii".
But in this somewhat boring Christmas, in this atmosphere that needs to be restrained, couples who are forced to slow down their pace to rush forward at high speed may be able to pay more attention to the song "Future Predictions Picture Ii" than usual.
"In addition, there may be a hundred ways to express love in the past, because there may be only thirty of 100 types left. At this critical moment, promoting "Future Prediction Picture Ii" may become a new type."
"Press the brake light five times?"
Shin Iwahashi nodded, "That's right. So, I have to play this song on the car radio."
Of course, the scene in the lyrics is that after the male protagonist sent the female protagonist downstairs, he watched her enter the door and flashed five times, not while driving on the road.
If it is the latter, even if the production team is ignorant, the song will be released without changing, and it will probably be asked by the folk broadcasting alliance to rectify because the lyrics convey a dangerous direction.
Although Japan does not have an official department to regulate the art world, there are a large number of civil groups that always keep a close eye on the industry. This so-called folk broadcast alliance is responsible for watching singers.
Once those songs with strange lyrics are broadcast, if they are considered unavailable by this folk broadcast alliance, they will either be removed from the shelves or rectified.
For example, a singer-songwriter, the leader of Kitajima Group, Saburo Kitajima, his debut single was directly banned because of color.
"Heard this song in the car..." Watanabe Manyumi imagined it.
The space inside the car is closed and the atmosphere is quiet. In this environment, I ride the same car with the partner in love, and then the radio broadcasts this song "Future Prediction Picture ii".
In the quiet and closed carriage, this slow but slowly advancing song can be given an opportunity to unfold.
As a quiet and closed car, when you hear the confession method of "brake lights flash five times", whether it is the person driving in the driver's seat or the person sitting next to you, such a simple confession may just be touching.
"I copied several tapes from "Future Predictions Iii" before." Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "I put them in the car for a while, and then decided that I could try this method."
"Yeah." Watanabe Manyumi thoughtful.
"There's another point." Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned it, "This song is nearly 7 and a half minutes long. If you switch to other platforms to play songs, it will not be easy to produce results."
"Are you going to play the whole song on the radio?" asked Manyumi Watanabe.
Shin Iwahashi nodded, "That's true. You have said before that the characteristic of this song is that it is linked together, and removing one of the lyrics will make it lose its color... unless it is familiar."
"So, go through the radio in advance to make this song familiar."
After listening to this, Manyumi Watanabe pointed out one thing, "If this is the case, the Red and White Song Club will have the publicity after the New Year, what should I do with the previous plan?"
I originally wanted to use the stage of the Hong and White Song Club to play songs, but now, with the radio songs, the originally planned Hong and White Song Club has lost its meaning?
"The plan needs to be adjusted according to changes." Shinichi Iwahashi thought in his mind, and he replied quickly.
"But it wasn't too much adjustment. Generally speaking, it was still based on the previous plan. But," he said slowly, "Miyomisan, let's postpone the release date of this new album."
"..." Manyumi Watanabe listened.
The release date of this album was postponed until the end of the year, but before the release, we should first play songs through the car radio station.
The public can't buy this song because the album has not been released yet. Therefore, there are no places other than car radio stations to hear this song.
When the album was released at the end of the year, the band took the stage to sing the song again. At this time, the public knew who the song was widely promoted on the radio and made them familiar with.
It's Dolimuzcomb.
"At the same time as the answer was revealed, the next day, the next day, the advertising campaign was launched on TV as planned," said Shinichi Iwahashi.
After listening to his plan for version 2.0 carefully, Manyumi Watanabe carefully thought about it, and said, "It feels like this plan was born after something was omitted."
"Um?"
"It's a single called "Future Prediction Picture II."
She pointed out, "I was very popular on radio stations a few years ago. According to common sense, this is the specification of releasing singles. However, the way you promote a single is a single that does not exist."... It's another idea that comes from the opposite of others.
"Interesting." Shinichi Iwahashi admired her perspective on the problem, "It is worthy of being Misan Manyu."
Watanabe Manyumi didn't take his words.
Shinichi Iwahashi didn't care and went straight to the point, "So, can this plan get your support? boss."
dreamsetrue is a contracted singer of u-miz. This kind of publicity resource must be helped by the firm. From this perspective, the agency contracted Shinichi Iwahashi in u-miz, and the boss was also right.
But obviously, Shinichi Iwahashi called that on purpose.
However, the long-lost "boss" still hit Watanabe Manyumi's funny point with great accuracy.
"I should say 'It's you' when I scored 7 and a half points on the radio." Wanyumi Watanabe complained about him.
According to the regulations of the Music Association, if a song exceeds five minutes, it must be calculated based on two songs. Although this kind of long song is profitable when collecting royalties, the singer himself must also calculate based on two songs when paying for the fees.
So, if you scored 7 and a half points on the radio, you have to pay double the fee.
"Anyway, I'll count on you." Shinichi Iwahashi said with a smile.
"It's time for me to say 'redeem you'." Watanabe Manyumi won't take his trick. "The promotional fee is getting higher and higher. Now, you have to count on your plan to be successful and the band's album will be very popular."
Even so, dreamsetrue's debut singles and albums earned money for the firm, as well as the potential they showed, preparing such a plan is not beyond the standard.
Watanabe Manyumi fully supports this somewhat unregulated publicity plan.
Taking the Red and White Song Club as the dividing point, the publicity plan before the Red and White Song Club has been re-formed, and then what needs to be confirmed is the publicity plan after the Red and White Song Club.
There was no turning back when the arrow was drawn, Shinichi Iwahashi simply suggested that he could play bigger.
To be continued...
