781. Record Awards(1/2)
Regarding the signing of Kikuchi Momoko and Kento, Shinichi Iwahashi, the agent, did not pay any attention to anything other than answering a few phone calls and communicating with Nozaki Young Master and Kikuchi Momoko.
He trusted Yanyin and Yanyin promised to accept the person, which means that the resources he wanted would be delivered to him in the future.
With one more friend who can cooperate and win-win, the road ahead will be wider.
After asking her to treat her to lunch at the restaurant of Mako Kikuchi, Shinichi Iwahashi never met her again. However, the contract was not completed yet, and she still had to call her to report the progress during this period.
The first time, Kikuchi Momoko insisted on treating him to a meal, but she never asked for an invitation after that. However, after talking about the business on the phone, she had to tell Shinichi Iwahashi about her "leave experience" during this period, like a middle school student who was writing summer observation homework.
Popular idols always work full time. Because of the characteristics of the idol profession, they are destined to do anything. They can sing and perform. Even after Akiko Matsumoto made a funny head, they could still be funny even after she was funny.
Singers and actors only do the same thing, but idols have to do two or three things. It would be strange if they are not busy.
"I went to apply for a course in the cooking classroom today." Kikuchi Momoko told him, "Learn to make kaiseki cuisine."
Shinichi Iwahashi was a little scared, "Is that so? Can you do this?"
"I don't know yet..." she said with some trouble, "But, I will study hard and hard next time. I already like cooking."
"Yeah." Shinichi Iwahashi still remembered that this was someone who could inherit his aunt's restaurant if he was not an idol.
"In addition to the cooking classroom, I also attend acting classes four times a week." Kikuchi Momoko seemed to be worried about being considered unemployed, and added, "Even if she is cooking or acting, she will learn steadily."
Shinichi Iwahashi is not her boss, so it doesn’t make sense to report this to him. He heard it in his ears and replied politely, “Then I wish you success in cooking and acting.”
Kikuchi Taozi said "Yeah!", "If I can see progress when I work hard, I will be very happy."
Kaiseki cuisine.
Shinichi Iwahashi put down the phone and recalled it. He felt that Kikuchi Taozi was amazing. All the female idols were talents. Despite this, after he finished his feelings, he didn't take it to heart.
...
In the evening, Shinichi Iwahashi went to the appointment of the fat young Akimoto Yasuhiro.
For a while, he has been busy with the blue hearts. He hasn't met this fat young man for a while, let alone have a drink together.
"Shenyijun is really amazing now." Fat young Akimoto Yasuhiro narrowed his slick little eyes and teased, "Your era is coming."
This statement comes from others' mouths, which is a compliment. However, from this fat young man, even if he really thinks this way, he still has the feeling of playing tricks on others after getting drunk and waiting to see people get mad.
"Borrowing the words of Akimoto Sanji." Shinichi Iwahashi replied with a smile.
He was neither too slow, neither too proud nor too humble, which made Akimoto Yasushi feel like he was empty-handed. This fat young man had the intention of teasing Shinichi Iwahashi, but he either calmly resolved it or simply refused to accept the move.
If it was someone else, it would be boring. But the big loach Akimoto Yasushi doesn't think so.
Once upon a time, all aspects around Shinichi Iwahashi also changed.
Today, even when he comes to a nightclub, he is more popular among the drink-goers than before, and is not inferior to popular stars.
Shinichi Iwahashi's current status in the industry is only higher than that of fat young people.
A few years after entering the industry, he was a little idol who was just a floppy idol. In order to motivate the fat young man to help, he transformed himself into a small agent who went to socialize everywhere and became a person who could not be underestimated.
For Akimoto Yasushi, who watched this guy walk through his journey with bare hands, he saw his skills the most intuitively.
Not only did Akimoto Yasuhiro, his old acquaintance, look slightly changed when he looked at him, but the whole industry is like this.
On the one hand, Shinichi Iwahashi showed talents that are unignorable. On the other hand, he is young and promising, and his singers' records are so popular that he should be bulging. Not only that, he is also unmarried and has a grand appearance. He doesn't need to close his eyes when he gets along with him...
For such a young producer, people in the industry have everything they think.
"By the way, there's one thing."
Akimoto Yasushi was actually a little jealous of Shinichi Iwahashi who had become famous all the time. However, it was not that he was jealous of his fame and fortune and became a popular golden bachelor in the industry, but that he was jealous of his talent for acting.
But he is definitely not the kind of person who will be upset.
Although this fat young man is essentially a businessman, he still has the demeanor of a talented man. Even if he was a beautiful man in Iwahashi Shinichi for a while, he was jealous of his ability to act like this, and he would immediately resolve it afterwards.
Not only that, but because I saw his talent, I began to have higher expectations for him. Working with Shinichi Iwahashi will definitely be more exciting than working with others. For the same thing, if you work with Shinichi Iwahashi, you may be able to get different results.
The way Akimoto Yasushi relieves jealousy is to turn it into appreciation and the possibility of working together in the future.
Despite this, with his little bad personality, he must have a taste for talking. He dug a hole in his mouth and wanted to see him fall down, which was just right to tease him. He couldn't tease him, and he didn't feel annoyed. He drank a glass of wine and then turned on the article again.
It is precisely because the fat young man is such a person that this guy is like a fish in the industry and is friends everywhere.
Shinichi Iwahashi is of course his friend.
"What?" Shinichi Iwahashi listened.
Akimoto Yasuhiro told him, "Kato Kazuya-Mikami-Akira-Mikami-Akira-San's adopted son." He paused, "He is dealing with Mikami's relics. Should Shin-Yikami buy one too?"
"Are the relics?" Shinichi Iwahashi didn't expect that the fat young man told him something.
The generation of queens of singing has accumulated a lot of wealth. Of course, inheritance tax is definitely not a small amount. However, even so, Kato Kazuya would not make his adoptive mother's relics live, not to mention the royalties that will be paid every year thereafter.
As long as this adopted son is not smart enough to invest, he can rely on the Mikong Skylark's signature to enjoy the most. Therefore, the current treatment of the relics will definitely not be because he is rushing to make money.
"Columbia Records plans to build a memorial museum for Mikongsang, and to release some of her relics and costumes from previous performances."
"In addition, people in the song industry hope to express their nostalgia for Mikkosan by purchasing her relics. So Kazuya-kun took out a part of it," Akimoto Yasuhiro told him.
"So that's it." Shinichi Iwahashi immediately understood.
Buying the relics of Mikong Skylark is a cover, and taking this opportunity to continue to build momentum is the original intention.
Mikko Sky Creep loved beauty very much. During her lifetime, she had to have at least thousands of sets of kimonos. It is said that she couldn't put it in Meheri's house, so she bought another apartment, which was specially used to put her kimonos.
In the bubble era, land prices rolled upwards, and apartments in kimonos also appreciated.
Kimons are expensive, and just a thousand sets of kimonos are worth hundreds of millions of yen. In addition, there is also her collection, her art works - whether they have artistic value.
In short, the biggest gem in the singing world has fallen, and the enthusiasm of these people in the singing world is to create this momentum in one go until the end of this year.
The end of the year.
The last day's record award.
...
The only time this song queen won the record award in her life was in 1965 when she divorced the big star Kobayashi Ayumi, her single "Soft" was very popular, selling 1.8 million copies, and she deserved the award.
A few years later, she was deeply involved in the "Skylark Scandal", boycotted by the people, and her career was greatly hit. Until the end of her life, she had no chance to reappear the glory of the past.
In the past decade before her death, the most popular single was her last work "The Stream of the World".
The bonus of the last work, coupled with the intentional support of the singing industry - since her death, singers have occasionally sung this song in the music program in the name of commemorating Mikū Skylark.
As a result, this single has remained popular and its sales have steadily increased. So far, the sales have exceeded 500,000 copies this year, and it continues to stick to the rankings. By the end of the year, the guaranteed minimum is 550,000 copies.
This achievement is something that most living singers cannot do in the singing industry, which is generally on the decline.
The sales volume of 550,000 copies, plus it is the last work of the Queen of Songs.
It’s not unreasonable to win the record award?
Since Hiroshi Gomu won the Record Award in 1984, the award has never been sent to singers. However, not sending it to singers is not intended to target the industry, but the opponent is too strong.
The younger generation is not interested in singing, and singing is declining, which is a reality that is there. But even so, for the singer, they will never admit this. Not only that, they will also do their best to save face.
This group of singers who still retain the master-apprentice system and are quite similar to Jidao, take face seriously.
In recent years, first Akira Nakamori has three consecutive games, followed by Chang Yoshigao's famous song "Cheers"... It's about to be this year.
You can't let the Songs and Songs not get the medals for the Grand Prix for five years, right?
...
Whether it is a cover or other intentions, not everyone is qualified to buy the relics of Mikong Skylark.
The Mikawa Skylark man has passed away, and his soul has been sent to the distance by the never-ending river of life. But the signs she left in the sun can still be used in different ways.
Eighteen-year-old Kato Kazuko is just a student, and everything he listens to the company's relationship, the adoptive mother's sister, and his biological aunt Sato Sezuko.
Sato Mitsuko had no opinion. After her sister Mikami became famous, she was arranged by her mother to debut by taking advantage of her sister's fame. After that, her grades were not ideal, and she had no nostalgia for the art world, so she left the industry and returned to her hometown Yokohama to get married. She opened a music classroom to teach amateurs to sing.
Now, all the brothers and sisters of the Kato family have passed away except her. In order to help deal with her sister's funeral, she takes care of her nephew Kazuya, and travels back and forth between Yokohama and Tokyo a few days a few days.
However, she didn't mean to talk much, and it was all based on the company and record company relationships to plan.
What was reported in the news was the "Mikong Skylark Memorial Hall" and the one that would not appear in the camera was a "commemoration" of Mikong Skylark by many parties, a record company, and a singing industry.
Sato Mizuko had no objection, and Kato Kazuko felt even more happy. In his opinion, selling a little kimono of his adoptive mother, as well as collecting artworks, etc. is nothing.
Anyway, it’s useless to put the kimono there... Besides, even if you sell a hundred pieces of kimono, it’s just a little bit.
Not only that, the statement that the company's relationship members said to him "to express their nostalgia for the Skylark Sang" made the 18-year-old boy willing to cooperate with them to sell their adoptive mother's belongings out of his pride for his adoptive mother.
...
The closer it is to the end of the year, the more complicated things are.
For the industry, as soon as October begins, many things need to be prepared. Different fields, different factions, and everyone does their own things. Within the same day, I don’t know how many things are planned at the same time.
When the fat young man mentioned this, Shinichi Iwahashi forgot it before and waited to tell Watanabe Manyumi. However, 90% of the time, there was no need for him to say it, and Watanabe Manyumi would bring it up with him. These news can't be hidden from her.
Not only that, the two of them also thought of together.
&o me》 can officially release a press release that sells millions of copies at most until October ends."
Manyumi Watanabe nodded, "It is still the first million-dollar single that has entered the Heih school. At present, it seems that the only million-dollar single this year."
To be continued...
