778. Different from the Past

Previously, Shinichi Iwahashi assigned homework to ZARD, asking the band to make new songs with the goal of "best-selling", which was to prepare for this tone.

Best-selling songs are definitely not something that depends on luck. On the contrary, for record practitioners and songwriters, there is a set of judgments on what kind of song has the potential to become popular and how to write them more easily.

Otherwise, there would be no difference between the main and non-main, A-side curve and B-side curve at the beginning.

Of course, best-selling is one thing, and to reach the phenomenon level and gain topicality is another thing - at least it is the right time, place and people.

But opportunities are left to those who are prepared. For the man in black behind the scenes, it is to do his best to prepare everything you can so that the God of Opportunity can grab his forehead when he arrives.

On the one hand, several ZARD people were working hard in the recording studio. The song was written, and the lyrics Yukiko Puji, who was responsible for writing the lyrics, went over and over again, and modified one of the words over and over again. Every time they changed, the entire recording studio had to work overtime.

Fortunately, it is a band musician, who has this kind of freedom to toss people.

On the other side, Shinichi Iwahashi also wants to prepare for the release of this single of the band.

Previously, he had put his ideas on Fujifilm, and now he naturally met with the representatives there to discuss the use of ZARD.

What Shinichi Iwahashi wants to talk about is not only an advertisement theme song, but also hopes to use Kurai Yukiko to shoot advertisements. Not only does it use Kurai Yukiko to shoot advertisements, but also hopes to cooperate with Fujifilm to hold events for the public.

If you want the public to be more impressed by the band and make the songs last longer, it is nothing more than to invite the public to participate.

To mobilize the enthusiasm of public participation, there are selections, prizes, and the real sense that the public has indeed participated.

Fujifilm is the sponsor of DREAMSETRUE outdoor concert. It had previously accepted Shinichi Iwahashi's proposal to shoot a Kikuchi Momoko, and the subsequent response was excellent. The company that operates image products naturally has the conditions and advantages to hold such events.

As early as when the advertisement for Kikuchi Peachi was broadcast, Shinichi Iwahashi was inspired to plan this matter.

Now that the TS incident has come out, Shin Iwahashi's reputation alone has been rising, and his ability to plan the whole thing has allowed the industry and even advertisers to see his ability to make calculations-

Not only that, his technique was clean enough and he never used any means to make people feel uncomfortable when they remembered. This is the important reason why he was constantly praised after showing his strategy.

Today, Shinichi Iwahashi is famous in the industry, and ZARD is not an unknown person. It is not difficult to promote such a cooperation.

Starting from the new quarter, all the ads on TV stations will be updated, and now is the time.

However, before the action, Shinichi Iwahashi did not contact the representative of Fujifilm by himself, and he took the previous way to attract sponsors for DREAMSETRUE's tour. He first contacted his brother-in-law Narita Kinayuki and told him his plans.

For the sake of his dating with Akina Nakamori, Kushin Narita's attitude towards him changed a lot.

However, this was not beyond Shinichi Iwahashi's expectations. It would be better to say that he had taken the initiative to reveal himself in front of Hiroyuki Narita that he deliberately wanted to make a choice.

Iwahashi Shinichi knew what kind of hopes this brother-in-law had for him and what plans he had. Since it was a profit, it was better to tell him about it first and let Kuanyu Narita make the decision.

If you hadn't had such an idea, you wouldn't have to disclose it to Narita Hiroyuki first.

It is precisely because he and Hiroyuki Narita have their own intentions, but they do not have common careers and interests like he and Manyumi Watanabe, that they have to say what they want to say in advance.

After the showdown, despite his change in attitude, Hiroyuki Narita did not completely stay away from Shinichi Iwahashi.

When the first round of the project album was broadcast, in front of Shinichi Iwahashi's ability, although that move was still not wise enough in Narita Hiroyuki's opinion, it had more or less an idea that it would be finally resolved by this brother-in-law.

And after the TS incident in October, the whole society was talking about this matter, and it was even more impossible for the well-informed Hiroyuki Narita to know the details.

In the praise of Shinichi Iwahashi, Narita Hiroyuki's mood was extremely complicated. I knew that this brother-in-law was capable, but at that time I could not have imagined that this guy could be so strong.

It seems that even that step of chess is not a big problem now. It is not that Hiroyuki Narita changed his mind. He thought this step was unwise from beginning to end, but he was increasingly convinced that he must have a way to resolve it with his brother-in-law.

Last time Iwahashi brought Akira and Chiyo Iwahashi to Tokyo, Shinichi Iwahashi had already mentioned that he wanted to work with Fujifilm again.

At that time, Narita Hiroyuki showed interest in this matter. It was both from his original curiosity and also to convey a certain attitude of his own—

He did not intend to stay away from Shinichi Iwahashi's affairs.

Since then, Narita Hiroyuki has not forgotten this matter and has been waiting for Shinichi Iwahashi to contact him at what time. Unexpectedly, before he could talk about cooperation, he had to wait for Shinichi Iwahashi to be a big deal that anyone would admire after hearing this time.

Since Shinichi Iwahashi revealed that he had dated Akina Nakamori, his brother-in-law and brother-in-law tried each other. Now, in the face of absolute abilities, it seemed as if the dust had settled.

Narita Kiyoshi had no other idea except to continue working with his brother-in-law.

To be honest, Shinichi Iwahashi did this and first revealed to Hiroyuki Narita to give him a chance to retreat. This is his openness and integrity. Later, he showed his strong talents again and again.

Such a person is worth working with him. Even if it is really an irreversible time, with his openness and integrity, he will probably not involve others.

Narita Hiroyuki made up his mind, and after that, Shinichi Iwahashi contacted him one by one and responded immediately.

The same is true for Shinichi Iwahashi. Narita Hiroyuki's future is bright for Dentsu, and it is beneficial to have such an ally. He has also revealed himself and performed, and now his brother-in-law is still willing to continue to cooperate, so even if he reaches a consensus.

The conflicts between him and his brother-in-law caused by his relationship with Akina Nakamori was temporarily put aside because Narita Hiroyuki was willing to run for ZARD this time. Narita Hiroyuki continued to act as an intermediary and negotiated with Fujifilm, it would be even smoother.

...

Famous industry, for Shinichi Iwahashi, it brings far more than the appreciation and praise he has been in the past few days, as well as the opportunity to be delivered to him.

For help, you can steal book tickets like stealing vegetables. Come and steal your friend’s book tickets and vote for my book.

In addition to these, he also opened a door that had not been opened for him before: joining the Recording Association.

The Japanese Records Association initiated an invitation to Shinichi Iwahashi, hoping that GENZO can also become a member of the Records Association.

Before this, this small sparrow temple was not actually on the member list of the Record Association.

Although Shinichi Iwahashi was responsible for leading a large-scale project, the project is planning, and cooperation is cooperation. In a small company, the only singer who really debuted was ZARD. Although the band was also popular, it has not yet reached the front line. Besides, there are no other people who can show off except ZARD. The old men from the Record Association really look down on this small company.

Those who work in this association include both record companies, super big lyricists, senior figures and people related to the official palace. This is so complicated that you can't just lead a project album.

In other words, in this planning album, GENZO has the weakest presence, which is entirely due to Shinichi Iwahashi himself making beads, and by the way, he has brought his own personal goods, and arranged his own people to gain popularity.

In the industry, Shinichi Iwahashi is highly recognized as a producer, and his name is definitely better than GENZO.

But now it's different.

First of all, the company has joined TS and launched a new band BOLAN - this band also participated in the project album. The two bands clearly show that the prospects are worth looking forward to, and there are more eggs in GENZO's basket.

This means that Shinichi Iwahashi and the second lady of Watanabe's producer are not having a small fight, but have higher ambitions.

However, this is not the real reason why the Recording Association wants to absorb GENZO into a member. To put it bluntly, the person who invited GENZO to join the Recording Association was for the sake of Shinichi Iwahashi.

His work this time was too big and the response was too strong. If there was only one planning album to support the stage before, it would not have been astonished by those old men. However, if TS was included and the amazing influence he gained in the underground music circle, it would be to the point where he had to take the initiative to invite him to join.

The underground music circle supplies the mainstream music circle, and now, this young producer is very accustomed to the underground music circle. In addition, he is outstanding in his ability, young and capable of calculating, and he is not afraid to underestimate him.

Now that he can connect half of the industry with his own strength, he can make TS safe and become famous, who knows what else he can do in the future?

Of course, such a person needs to make him his own person.

He is young and has no relevant resume, so he can't be absorbed into the Recording Association.

Since that's the case, I turned his attention elsewhere. Since Shinichi Iwahashi put all his wealth on the record company, he had to absorb his company into the record association.

...

Of course, for Shinichi Iwahashi, the benefits of joining the record company outweigh the disadvantages in the long run.

The so-called disadvantage is that you have to pay some protection fees after joining an organization, but the benefits are more. For example, after joining, some things are supported by the organization, and there are more communications with other companies...

In fact, when I was leading the album project, I also had the idea of ​​establishing a good relationship with the industry and entering the Recording Association in the future. If GENZO does not plan to become bigger and is not going to play with others, it doesn’t matter if I don’t join, but since I am ambitious, it is unrealistic to be a minority, and I still have to plan to get in.

As for whether to become a dragon slaying boy, an evil dragon, or a gem in the dragon treasure chest in the future... that's what happened in the future.

Now the opportunity is delivered to your door, and the cards are given enough, so it is good to take advantage of the opportunity to join.

Moreover, according to industry rules, the record companies that do not join the Record Association will not be qualified to obtain sales certification.

In other words, if you are not a member of the Records Association, no matter how much you sell, it has nothing to do with certifications such as platinum records, and you are not qualified to participate in the annual "Yuan Benjin Records Awards".

The Record Awards and the Golden Record Awards look similar to the Golden Record Awards, but this Golden Record Awards was founded in 1986 and held the first new awards in 1987. The selection criteria are simple and rough. Depending on the sales volume, whoever sells more is the "Artist of the Year".

By the way, the first artist of the year was Akina Nakamori.

In short, if you want to have a record certification, you have to join the Record Association. After joining, you have to pay a protection fee every year and obtain corresponding protection. To be honest, the biggest difference between the Record Association and the Music Association is probably that the Record Association almost does not play the ban on artists.

For companies like GENZO, whose goal is to hit the industry's popular market, there is no reason not to join the Records Association. Moreover, this invitation is explicitly for GENZO, but in fact, it is for Shinichi Iwahashi. It would be bad if he didn't agree.

This is the time when you are about to go all out and go forward, and it is the time to avoid being excluded by the industry.

Shinichi Iwahashi thought so, and Watanabe Manyumi had an agreement with him. Both of them felt that this was a good opportunity to seize. The company was about to show its strength, and it was just a lack of such an opportunity.

The two of them hit it off and join the Recording Association is a foregone conclusion.

After replying to the Recording Association, after agreeing to join, the other side began to make relevant preparations. In addition to various necessary business links, it also included a welcome party for Shinichi Iwahashi and his GENZO, specially customized related souvenirs for GENZO, and even prepared to issue gold record certification to ZARD-

Certified for the record released by ZARD before. Don’t be afraid of late for a good meal.

...

On this side, we have to find ways to monetize the fame brought by the planning album and the TS incident into something more practical.

On the other hand, Watanabe Manyumi contacted a firm that mainly focused on the actor's career at Shinichi Iwahashi, and prepared to release TS's agent contract.

Taking this opportunity, Shinichi Iwahashi also had a detailed discussion with Wanyumi Watanabe, and both sides made the conversation in advance.

The singers signed by the record company cannot put all their agent contracts in her U-MIZ. They are not Sony's self-produced and sold behemoths, and they can't afford to have so many singers' appointments.

Of course, not all of them were released.

The best way is to use singers to contact other firms in exchange for TV resources.

The resources exchanged are on the one hand, the singer's own publicity resources, and on the other hand, there are also drama resources that can be used by Watanabe Manyumi's actor business.

In addition, I have to leave a few good cards and put them in U-MIZ to support the actors in her firm and collaborate with the TV station to produce programs.

The industry is a place for win-win cooperation. If you hold all the good things in your own hands, the final outcome will be either stolen or destroyed.

Shinichi Iwahashi could think of this, and Manyumi Watanabe understood more.
