773. Hero's Rock Bridge(1/2)

That night, the operator of Asahi TV Station was so busy that he was too busy to hand in hand.

After the show was broadcast, a steady stream of calls came in, and a variety of questions came over. These calls included support for the band, criticizing the capital for being too domineering, and sympathizing with the band, as well as indignation for being rudely interfered with.

The TV era has been around for decades, and the public has long known how the power in their hands can be used as the audience.

After the program ends, this call will be a helping agent for THEBLUEHEARTS.

Among the continuous calls from audiences, a considerable number of them asked about the producer Shinichi Iwahashi who appeared in the show.

Some viewers wanted to know more about Shinichi Iwahashi, some praised the courage of the producers of Iwahashi, and some viewers asked Asahi TV to invite Iwahashi Sang to participate in the TV program.

This episode is not only THEBLUEHEARTS documentary, but also like Shinichi Iwahashi's promotional video.

In addition to these, there are more viewers asking the same question: Are the "fusion" series of advertisements on TV over the past period of time, the last producer of Shinichi Iwahashi, and the producer of Iwahashi, the same person as the producer of Iwahashi?

For other requirements, operators are proficient in using work rhetoric to resolve and respond. Only when facing this question from the audience, they give a positive answer—

The producer of the project album "Fusion" is also the producer of Iwahashi Sang.

...

It turned out to be the project led by Iwahashi Sang!

It wouldn't be surprising if such a bold producer could allow these almost unrelated people to appear in the same advertisement!

What reason is there to not look forward to the project made by such a Iwabashi Sang?

So, when will the album be released?

On October 8, after THEBLUEHEARTS's record program was broadcast, the public knew who the producer Shinichi Iwahashi was and was full of affection and admiration for him.

I emphasized this name every day before, and when I fully appreciate the audience's appetite, I told them who the name is.

Then, at this moment, the advertisements about the planning album and release time were announced.

...

Firm U-MIZ.

After receiving the phone call, Manyumi Watanabe walked back and looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, "Can you say again, 'It's worthy of being you'?"

Her tone was both admiring and joking, and she was somewhat joking.

When you hear it, you can only say something that someone who is so familiar with it.

Shinichi Iwahashi was not uncomfortable at all when he heard it in his ears, and he was calm and waited quietly.

"Hmm?" Watanabe Manyumi looked at him.

He also followed suit and looked at Manyumi Watanabe.

The two watched each other for a while, and Watanabe Manyumi guessed what he meant, sat down, and said his own, "That episode of THEBLUEHEARTS got a rating of 36.7. The highest point was 42.1."

She retelled the information on the phone just now, "This rating is ranked fifth on Asahi TV's program ratings list this year."

When Asahi TV first agreed to do this program, it was a bit of a consideration of the cooperation between Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe. After that, it became popular and realized that he had seized a great opportunity.

It was not until the ratings came out that I realized that this was a golden rooster jumping into their arms.

No. Shinichi Iwahashi brought the golden rooster to their arms.

"If you go back later, you will receive a call from Asahi TV station." Wanyumi Watanabe said with a firm tone.

Shinichi Iwahashi joked with her, "After hearing this, I want to go back quickly."

Wanmei Watanabe didn't mind either, and she was not too slow and replied, "I'm not trying to drive you away in a different way."

"The things I'm waiting for haven't arrived yet, so I can't drive them away." Shinichi Iwahashi was in a good mood.

Wanyumi Watanabe smiled and walked into the reception room. After a while, she came back, holding the wine and holding two wide-mouthed glasses. Shinichi Iwahashi watched her pour the wine and picked up one of them.

Touched the two wine glasses gently.

"There's another one." Shinichi Iwahashi drank the wine and refused to let go.

Watanabe Manyumi was about to reach out to her hand when she suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but smile, "It's really 'deserved you'."...I was waiting for her to say the words "It's worthy of you" that she didn't say.

Shinichi Iwahashi then showed a look of winning the game back.

He put down his wine glass and stood up, "I'm going back."

Watanabe Manyumi sent him to the door. Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her, "The record contract for THEBLUEHEARTS will be released soon, and the new album will be started immediately. Then the agency contract-"

"Take it slow." Manyumi Watanabe interrupted him.

Shin Iwahashi nodded, "Okay, then come all the same."

...

Once at the record company, the clerk told him that the phone number of Asahi TV station had come. Not only Asahi TV station, but also the industry has calls.

Shinichi Iwahashi first returned to the phone number of Asahi TV. As soon as he answered, the TV producers on the other end of the phone were very kind, and they were just about to call him brothers.

I want to say that he had produced "Band Heaven" with Asahi TV Station before, and he might have to start a prank show later. The two sides usually cooperate a lot, and the relationship is not bad, but today, I obviously feel that the attitude of the TV producer is even more different.

The ratings of the first episode ranked among the top five programs of Asahi TV in the year, which is certainly worth celebrating by the TV station. Iwahashi Shinichi, who has handed over this plan, thank you for your kindness.

However, if he adds to what he does in this matter, it will be different again.

For the current effect of this episode, he arranged such a wonderful finishing technique with Joan Jet in advance, which is meticulous and powerful enough.

But if you add the series of advertisements that are linked to this episode of the program, the album is planned—

Of course, it is intentional to choose to play promotional advertisements before the start of this program. After raising the audience's appetite, give such an answer, and the promotional effect is 100%.

This involves half of the industry's plans. The companies involved hope that the hotter the plan, the better. They only have active cooperation in the publicity strategy he planned. As for an underground band, other companies have not been involved in the past. Now, looking at Shinichi Iwahashi's face and the interests of the plan, they will not disrupt the situation.

With this plan, the industry almost gave Shinichi Iwahashi a green light, allowing him to have a smooth sailing during the layout period.

On the one hand, we use the power of the program to promote the planning, and on the other hand, we use the sweetness of publicity to stabilize the industry.

He used his name to string two things that were originally unrelated to each other and were strung together as beads.

Now, the ratings of the show exploded after it was broadcast, and the advertisements were at the top, and his name became a hot topic. He kept calling Asahi TV to ask about the "Iwahashi Producer".

Even the man in black behind the scenes has suddenly become the focus of public attention, and the "fame" that gains fame and fortune have been obtained first.

When I first received Shinichi Iwahashi's plan, the production team only saw a part of the show. However, when it comes to such a part, let's look at the previous and next things, and there is nothing else to think about this young producer.

With such talent, how can you miss him and how can you not make friends with him?

The producer of Asahi TV station spoke in a friendly tone on the phone and suggested that in order to celebrate the great success of the program, the TV station would treat him to the proposer and developer of his plan.

Usually, the firm provides hospitality funds. It is delicious to entertain these TV people, so that the "food and clothing parents" who are behind the scenes can actively invite them and pay for the entertainment. It can be said that it is a first-class treatment.

Of course, Shinichi Iwahashi could not refuse such an invitation.

...

He received praise and invitations from Asahi TV. The next call came from the record company that participated in the album planning, and told him that the promotional effect exploded after the program was broadcast, and the inquiry phone calls came one after another.

Another call was made to report on the increase in orders from record stores.

The next one is the record store’s additional orders for the album “I’m Standing Here”. All 150,000 printed copies were released, and all 150,000 printed copies were released in one go.

Now that the matter is now, when the decision is made to pay out of your own pocket, the worry of "not reclaiming the land if you can't sell it" has long disappeared. Not only will it not lose money, but just selling it, Shinichi Iwahashi makes a big profit in this matter.

After putting down the phone call, Shinichi Iwahashi took a breath when the pager rang again. He took it over and took a look, and called the phone back. The opposite was Fengdao.

"It's really amazing, Iwaki Sang." Fengdao said the first sentence.

Seeing him walking step by step from an unknown layman to the present, Fengjima had always admired him. This time, Shinichi Iwahashi reached out to solve the problem carefully and carefully. Fengjima's admiration has become admiration.

However, this is not a call to me specifically, just to say a "amazing" call.

Fengjima told Shinichi Iwahashi that there were a lot of underground musicians applying for his LIVEHOUSE performance, and there were many underground musicians who submitted resumes to the production company. The production company also received a lot of orders for production of underground singles.

"There are too many, and this time I can't 'accept it all'." Fengdao said.

Shinichi Iwahashi listened, "It's amazing."

"After the show was broadcast, people in the underground music industry knew that it was Iwahashi Sang, you had been running around for the band, and they all regarded you as a hero." Fengjima's tone was filled with emotion.

Previously, because of that planning album and ZARD's debut, there were many criticisms of Shinichi Iwahashi in the underground music circle, believing that he was too commercial and not a musician, but a businessman.

But with the broadcast of this episode, THEBLUEHEARTS, which has touched the underground music circle but has made them helpless, end up being the one Iwahashi Sang whom they had criticized, extended a helping hand to the band.

It cannot be said that underground musicians have no opinions and only look at fences. Even Shinichi Iwahashi helped THEBLUEHEARTS under pressure, he cannot change his ideas and practices to commercialize the band.

However, this time, underground music people realized that Shinichi Iwahashi was never a "betrayer", and he just chose to go on another road. But even when he was walking on the road of business, he would not stand by and see people stuck in the muddy road next to him.

Shinichi Iwahashi is a businessman, but he is also a qualified musician.

With such a person in the underground musician, people feel a sense of peace of mind.

If you want to turn to commercialization, Iwahashi Sang is committed to expanding territory in the mainstream industry and making the band's road wider. Even if you refuse to compromise with the mainstream, there is Shinichi Iwahashi, who will not stand by and watch the weak, which gives them the courage to stand up straight.

Regardless of whether this idea is too naive, at least at this moment, the underground musicians were impressed by Shinichi Iwahashi's courage and were at ease with such a person.

For Shinichi Iwahashi, establishing such an image in the underground music circle will be of no harm.

No matter when, "people" are the first. When working in a record company, "talent" is the first. With such influence in the underground music circle, there is no need to worry about not having a steady stream of talents gathered around him.

Similarly, with such influence, he himself cannot be underestimated in the industry, and he has to find ways to make friends with people.
