571. The so-called order(1/2)
After several dealings, Shinichi Iwahashi also had some understanding of the style of his sister and brother-in-law's behavior. He refused to agree easily, but once he nodded, he would definitely do his best to do the best.
Knowing this, after Narita Kinayoshi agreed to help, Shinichi Iwahashi felt relieved and waited for the good news.
At noon on Friday, Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe went to Narita's Hiroyuki's appointment together.
The person who invited me was Shinichi Iwahashi's brother-in-law, and Iwahashi's Shinichi Iwahashi's car. The driver who had no feelings was not allowed to appear, so Mito Iijima sent them over.
Watanabe Manyumi knew that Mitochi Iijima was the newcomer given to Shinichi Iwahashi by his brother-in-law. After Mitochi Iwahashi joined the company, Shinichi Iwahashi once mentioned it to her once, but it was only so I never talked in depth. He didn't say it, and Manyumi Watanabe did not ask.
There is a tacit understanding between the two and they are particularly sensitive to "boundaries".
Shinichi Iwahashima asked Mitoto Iijima to be a driver, so he naturally had the intention to use her. However, a new employee with poor ability to join the company was treated so differently, which was naturally due to the face of Sakai Masato and Yoshida Masaki.
However, bypassing her and introducing the person directly to Shinichi Iwahashi, Yoshida Masaki's intention to make him acquainted him was also obvious.
This is just like Narita Hiroyuki who wanted to talk about the band sponsor, but invited Watanabe Manyumi to have a meal together. In this way, Narita Hiroyuki's idea of getting along with her, or the Watanabe behind her, is also very clear.
Shinichi Iwahashi understands these things, and Manmi Watanabe also understands them.
However, people in the industry do not mind being approached with purpose. It would be better to say that they have agreed to this way of getting along. Whether it is Yoshida Masaki or Narita Kinayoshi, they all show it openly and do not conceal their own ideas.
Narita Hiroyuki wanted to make friends with Watanabe Manyumi, and what she valued was her identity as a second lady in Watanabe production, but she had a good impression of her because she appreciated her talents.
He has an ordinary family background like Dentsu MAN. In the first few years when he joined the company, he worked overtime all day long because he had no background to climb up. If he couldn't do a little bit of work well, he was scolded by his boss for being useless.
However, the children of wealthy families from the government who joined the company at the same time went to work easily every day. When it was the holiday, they made an appointment to have a dance party and play golf and had a very pleasant relationship. Even if they had a terrible job, it didn't matter.
Anyway, for Dentsu, ordinary employees are used to work, and second generations are used to build relationships with all walks of life.
After climbing up from such a place, Narita Hiroyuki has a clear distinction between "family background" and "ability". It is one thing to value a person's family background, and it is another thing to value a person's ability.
In his opinion, people like Manyumi Watanabe who has both family background and outstanding abilities are particularly outstanding.
...
When Hiroshi Narita invited him, he naturally decided the location of the meeting.
After the things I ordered were delivered one after another, today's topics changed from unpainful communication to the main business. Narita Hiroyuki was so sophisticated that he never mentioned the soft nails he had touched, and only told the results of the two people.
"When we met with Fujifilm representatives and discussed the new season's TV commercials, we mentioned the band's need to sponsor the tour, and we were very interested there."
Narita Hiroyuki introduced the situation. A senior executive of Fujifilm liked the band's debut song "So happy! So happy! So like!", so he said a lot of good things for the band at the subsequent meeting.
Of course, it is useless to say good things. After this matter was raised internally, it was put on the agenda because DREAMS COME TRUE is very popular and the high quality of the new album has also made their creative abilities highly recognized. Now, both in the industry and the public are full of expectations for their next moves.
Only if you have a transcript can you be qualified to discuss sponsorship.
But before making a decision, Fujifilm will also conduct a survey on DREAMS COEM TRUE, including their voices, the band’s music audience and so on.
It’s not enough to be famous. After all, if a celebrity’s audience is a teenager, then no matter whether he is popular or not, the rice cooker will not want to ask him to be an endorsement.
Now, Narita Hiroyuki was able to sit here and talk about this matter with them. It was obviously because Fujifilm's "first review" of the band was qualified.
...
"A few days ago, the representative of Fujifilm probably told me. What the other side means is to sponsor the band's tour, and this matter can be continued."
Narita Kinayoshi said this and his tone was paused.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe knew it well, and knew that what they were going to talk about was the conditions for agreeing to sponsorship.
"The TV commercial of Fujifilm's disposable camera, 'Quick Snap', will be updated in April." Narita Hiroyuki said, "With Fujifilm, I want to ask the band to create an advertising song."
"Advertising song." Shinichi Iwahashi repeated it and kept it in his heart.
"What kind of song is needed? If the cooperation is officially started, when Watanabe San’s office communicates with Fujifilm, it will give clearer conditions there." Narita Hiroyuki said.
In other words, we have to tailor the song according to the requirements of Fujifilm.
“Producing an advertising song is part of it.”
Narita Hiroyuki continued, "Fujifilm means that if they sponsor the band's tour this year, they hope that next year, the band will have another round of entertainment performances named after Fujifilm."
The so-called entertainment performance is a kind of performance that does not sell tickets to the public and is open in the form of "holiday vouchers".
The reception voucher may be distributed to Fujifilm and its employees of subordinate companies, or may be distributed to relevant sellers, or as a gift to give back to consumers. You can get a reception voucher if you buy a Fujifilm product for a few yen... and so on.
The reception voucher is distributed by Fujifilm. The performance venue and equipment rental fees are all borne by Fujifilm. The band only needs to be present to perform and complete the task.
Generally, there are not large venues for this kind of reception, but there are many occasions. Because Fujifilm business is spread all over the country, this round of reception may have to be held from Tokyo to Osaka, and then from Osaka to Fukuoka, and a trip to big cities.
However, basically speaking, singers host entertainment performances for sponsors is a relatively common way in the industry.
"How is it? Watanabe San."
After Narita Kinayoshi finished speaking, he stopped talking. Shinichi Iwahashi turned his head and looked at Manyumi Watanabe.
The two exchanged glances.
Narita Hiroyuki finished playing his cards and watched the interaction between the two people on the other side slowly.
His wife, Asako, had a few deals with Watanabe Manyumi, and then the two seemed to have a little polite relationship in private. Asako herself admires Watanabe Manyumi very much. On this point, the couple agreed that the second lady of Watanabe Manufacturer was outstanding.
However, in another matter, Narita Hiroyuki has different opinions from Asako.
When the couple chatted, they would occasionally talk about Shinichi Iwahashi's current work and their cooperation with Manyumi Watanabe. Although they did not say it clearly, in Narita's opinion, his brother-in-law and Manyumi Watanabe are quite compatible.
In his opinion, with Shinichi Iwahashi's ability, if he could tie the knot with the second lady of Watanabe's family, it would undoubtedly be like a tiger with a tiger's wings and his future was limitless.
But his wife Chaozi didn't think these two people were good matches.
Now facing each other, Narita Hiroyuki could feel the cooperation between Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe. These two people could convey their own ideas just by exchanging their eyes.
With such a perfect match, Narita Kinayuki couldn't help but guess why his wife had that kind of thought.
...
The band's agent was in U-MIZ, and Shinichi Iwahashi was inconvenient to speak at this time.
Watanabe Manyumi is the boss of the band. She took over the topic and said, "From the firm's perspective, I am very willing to continue talking with Fujifilm with such conditions."
These words were as expected by Narita Hiroyuki.
However, only by getting a positive answer can we enter the next step. The order is very important.
"Then, I will introduce the representative of Fujifilm to meet you later." Narita Hiroyuki put away the thoughts just now and entered his role.
Watanabe Manyumi agreed and thanked him.
When it comes to the sponsorship talk, the one who wants to come forward is her boss, Shinichi Iwahashi temporarily retreated. It was not until the topic ended and the atmosphere between the meals was relaxed again, and he joined the topic again.
Although it was for business, the atmosphere of the meal was still good. After the meal was dispersed, Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi also got into the car.
"Advertising theme song."
Wanyumi Watanabe thought about it for a while and told Shinichi Iwahashi, "Whether success or failure depends on the band itself."
"That's true." Shinichi Iwahashi agreed.
If you want to talk to Fujifilm to sponsor, you must first hand over this advertising song, and make it satisfied with this advertising song. After the successful acceptance, the sponsorship matter will be truly stable.
As for the situation conveyed by Hiroyuki Narita, now it was just a chance to send Fujifilm. If you can't come up with the advertising song, you missed this opportunity.
Whether it is the subsequent tour sponsorship or the second year's entertainment performance, it does not exist.
"It's best to hand over the song," said Shinichi Iwahashi. "It just happens to release the song as the mainstay of the new single, and it can also be promoted."
Watanabe Manyumi laughed at him, "...No matter when, I don't want to use everything I can, then I'm not you."
"You know, too, what I am best at." Shinichi Iwahashi didn't mind.
Wanyumi Watanabe poured some cold water on him, "That's right, you must first have 'power'."
First of all, you must be able to hand over the advertising song and get the opportunity so that you can use it later.
From this point of view, whether you can seize this opportunity depends on the band itself. As for the conditions proposed by Fujifilm, if the band does not have the strength, it would be useless if anyone is helping to speak nice things by the side.
"However, what is 'Quick Snap'?" Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly asked.
Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help but glance at him.
"I've seen related advertisements, and my brother-in-law Narita said just now, it's a disposable camera." Shinichi Iwahashi said something he had never seen before, "But I haven't used it once."
He had no hobby of taking photos, and after entering the industry, he had no chance to get in touch with this thing. Even though he saw advertisements, he would not buy them on purpose.
"It's just a disposable film camera."
Manyumi Watanabe patiently described the details to him, "The photos taken can be rinsed normally, but because the film cannot be replaced, the film is useless after taking the attached film and can only be sent back for recycling."
This toy camera is only sold for one or two thousand yen, portable and easy to carry, and easy to operate. If you forget to bring the camera when you go out, you can immediately become a combat power when you buy it. In addition to the lack of image quality - after all, it is a toy camera.
This toy camera was very popular when it was launched two years ago. Although it was not as fanatical as the previous two years, it is still a popular product of Fujifilm, and new advertisements are placed on TV every year.
"So that's it." Shinichi Iwahashi listened humbly.
After listening to it, I joked, "I deserve to be 'Teacher Watanabe'."
The funny point is that Watanabe Manyumi, who is on this "Teacher Watanabe", is sure that he did it on purpose.
"But don't just listen..."
Shinichi Iwahashi planned it together. After sending Wanyumi Watanabe back to her business, he did not go back to the company directly. Instead, he instructed Mitoko Iijima to go to the department store first and bought a Quick Snap disposable camera back.
When he got into the car again, Shinichi Iwahashi played with the disposable camera as big as a palm. His first impression was:
To be continued...
