803. Weighing the pros and cons
In fact, Manyumi Watanabe actually does not have that kind of strong feeling. She must follow the opinions given by her mother to get closer to the old forces. This is also the reason why she is willing to bypass this issue for the time being.
But on the other hand, this incident also concerns which side she will go in the future cooperation with Shinichi Iwahashi.
Because of this, she chose to avoid talking about it. Until now, the album of THE BLUE HEARTS has been launched and the band's future is clear. This issue is also unavoidable and must be decided.
Before talking about this issue with Shinichi Iwahashi, Watanabe Manumi first communicated with her mother Watanabe Misa. In a sense, the order of the negotiations had already exposed the answer in her heart.
Shinichi Iwahashi's actions this year have attracted attention from half of the industry. At the Watanabe family, Masaki Yoshida, who has always admired him, is now more confident in him. Miki Yoshida is speechless and it is one thing that doesn't like Shinichi Iwahashi, but when facing such a person, he cannot help but admit his talents.
Only Misa Watanabe was expected to achieve such a result. But she did not regret the fact that Shinichi Iwahashi was talking to Shinichi Iwahashi at all. On the contrary, the more outstanding he was and showed his ambition, the more correct her decision was.
Not only that, Misa Watanabe has no disgust for Shinichi Iwahashi himself, whether in the past or present. If you really want to talk about it, you still have an appreciation. However, everything depends on the long term and you have to take that step.
Even now, after listening to Shinichi Iwahashi's plan reposted by Wanyumi Watanabe, Misa Watanabe was calm. There was no need to explain too much about many things, but after listening, Shinichi Iwahashi's ambitions and ambitions spread out in front of them, mother and daughter.
And what was shown in front of Misa Watanabe was also his daughter Manyumi's plan.
"Did you think of going together with Iwahashi?" Misa Watanabe asked.
Wan Yumi Watanabe was unquestionable, "Iwabashi's plan is not a road that cannot be accessed."
On the contrary, it is a road that is smooth as long as it is completed.
Misa Watanabe looked at her daughter's attitude and said it out loud, "It's just that she is too ambitious. It's ambition of success and failure." If she really can walk well, that's another matter. If she doesn't walk well, she will die halfway.
At that time, Watanabe Manyumi still has a way out, and Shinichi Iwahashi may not be able to withstand it.
"So many things have been done so far, and they have succeeded one step at a time, but failed one step at a time." Manyumi Watanabe replied.
Misa Watanabe has no reason that he doesn't understand, "But you trust Iwahashi..."
"Trust him." Her answer was unreliable - but perhaps it should be said that she had already thought about it carefully.
Watanabe Misa seemed to expect this answer from her daughter. Watanabe Masumi made up her mind, "Iwabashi said nothing wrong, the old forces are complicated. Even if you get your mother's help, you may not be able to integrate resources into your own hands."
"I can't get along with an environment where seniority and identity is greater than ability." Wanyumi Watanabe paused in a tone, "Because of looking back, I should still look forward. If I hadn't looked forward, I wouldn't have been here."
If you don’t know how to use Shinichi Iwahashi and don’t cooperate with him, then there is no way to talk about anything.
Watanabe Manyumi made up her mind, and Watanabe Misa had no intention of interfering.
Shinichi Iwahashi, who was unreasonable in his work, could not bear the fate and could not hold it in his own hands. However, when he made this suggestion with his daughter, Misa Watanabe did not expect that Shinichi Iwahashi's ambition was so strong.
Similarly, with Watanabe Misa's understanding of her daughter, Shinichi Iwahashi proposed this plan. She would shake the suggestions she gave and would rather go on this more difficult path to cooperate with him. This is also a kind of "expected".
Shinichi Iwahashi was ambitious, and Manyumi Watanabe was also full of ambitions. These two people coincided with many ideas, and just put their efforts together.
"I am different from Iwabashi." Watanabe Manyumi told her mother the truth, "I have a way out, but Iwabashi does not."
"There is no way out..."
"And I believe there is no way out." Watanabe Manyumi smiled, as if she was joking with her mother, "If I encounter difficulties, I will stand with Iwahashi."
What she said was "standing with Iwahashi", not that she could retreat even if she had a way out, which shows her determination.
After hearing this, Misa Watanabe had nothing to say.
...
After engaging in the air with my mother, things are almost a foregone conclusion.
Wanyumi Watanabe knew in her heart that the road proposed by Shinichi Iwahashi was difficult to walk. But compared to staying in a place surrounded by old forces, it is more motivated to challenge the future.
It is better to look forward to everything.
When film companies dominated the industry, they could not have expected Japanese films to decline. In the 1970s, they could not have expected CDs to become mainstream now. When idols were in full swing, they could not have expected them to be replaced by bands.
Things are constantly renovated, which means you have the opportunity to get good cards and get a cake.
Watanabe Manyumi weighed the pros and cons, but was willing to take a bet, and took this road that seemed more difficult and whimsical at the moment. Standing with Shinichi Iwahashi and continuing to work with him, whether it is unrealistic or not.
She decided, but she remained silent, intending to wait for Shin Iwahashi to reiterate the old words. As soon as the results of the album by THE BLUE HEARTS were released, no matter who gave the agent's contract, it was sending a signal of cooperation.
In this way, not only do they need to be cautious when releasing the brokerage contract, but the receiving firm will also carefully weigh the trade-offs.
Without interfering with the complicated old forces, they should also avoid Zhou Fangyu Xiong's BURNING system. At the same time, they should have a certain amount of strength. They sieved three times in a row, but not much left in the network.
Wanyumi Watanabe had a clear idea in her heart, but she was not sure about Shinichi Iwahashi's plan. At first, she guessed in her heart that Shinichi Iwahashi might want to have a good relationship with Kenyin. But when she thought about it, it didn't seem like he would do.
It seems that if it is for cooperation, there seems to be no reason to hand over this good card to Kenyin. Watanabe Manyumi did not regard Kenyin as the target of her pursuit in this matter, and at the same time, she doesn't think Kenyin will take this card.
But she made up her mind and stopped moving if Shinichi Iwahashi didn't mention it.
...
Before everything was accurate, the sales of THE BLUE HEARTS album in the second week were still stable, and the reputation of the album was still stable. In this case, long-term sales are not a problem.
The agency's appointment was not released, and the notice of inviting the band to participate in the music program was sent to the record company first and temporarily handed over to the record company's team to decide.
The BLUE HEARTS This band has a wonderful typhoon during live performances.
When he debuted on the TV program, he sang the title song of the same name in the album "TRAIN-TRAIN". When the lead singer Ah Ben Ho Ren sang on stage, he was like he was stomping on the electric door, and he was crazy about sticking out his tongue, shook his head and rolling his eyes. The audience who had known the band through the record program was shocked and called the TV station to ask-
"Is this lead singer's brain problem?"
Otherwise, it would be that you were sick while singing, or it was just intentional trouble.
However, even if I watched the random song, the song was unexpectedly good. Many viewers who watched TV even thought about listening to the original song and were ready to buy one.
However, this messy typhoon was unexpectedly popular with men and young people. To be honest, this messy look is similar to the Japanese office workers who drink and make fun of themselves after getting drunk.
As for young people, there are countless people who are attracted by this kind of rebellious behavior.
Of course, there are also old-school audiences who see the lead singer go to the stage and change the channel. However, the next time, I saw this band again in another music program. This time the band sang a song called "Blue Sky".
Instead of sticking out his tongue, shaking his head and rolling his eyes, he stood in the middle of the stage, singing seriously, like a child. And the song he sang seriously was so moving and beautiful.
Personalized singers and bands who were not on TV in the past often brought performances that confuses ordinary audiences after becoming regular visitors to the TV station.
It's like doing sabotage on the stage, doing sabotage in the studio, doing sabotage on yourself or your teammates...
It's a mess. Japanese audiences are well-informed.
...
When THE BLUE HEARTS's album continued to sell well in the second week, Kawahara's collaboration single with Hideki Nishiki was also put on the record store shelves.
From the first singles of Fuji Ayako and BOLAN to the present, one after another. After this one, there is the single that is responsible for the ending, "Kissing" co-starring Akina Nakamori and ORIGINAL LOVE.
Then, the single planned was released from beginning to end. But this was not the end. When making the project, the "planning album" was prepared. After the single was released, the album was waiting there.
This kind of project that connects half of the industry makes people have a big impact on the distribution of benefits. A large part of the reason why early preparations are so troublesome is how to come up with a plan that is satisfactory to all parties.
When the negotiations were held, Shinichi Iwahashi proposed that his record company wanted the release rights for the album.
It seems obvious that each song in an album has been released separately, and the public has bought the song they like.
But the single has a great reputation, and every song is a fine product. It is probably a lot of people who want to buy an album specifically to hear it from beginning to end. Of course, Shinichi Iwahashi would not do nothing, and let the album sell a few pictures. On the contrary, he had other ideas.
The week when Kawahasako and Hideki Nishiki's singles were released is just the end of this year's rankings. From this week on, it will be the new year's charts.
The planned single has been released so far, and some have won the championship as soon as they debuted. Some have only ranked in the top five in the first appearance, but their sales have been stable afterwards. No matter which trend, each single has entered the top 100 in the annual chart.
How much can the outdated brother-sister combination of Kawahara Natsuko and Hideki Nishiki sell? Will it become the lowest-selling one...
Shinichi Iwahashi didn't care. It is unknown whether Hideki Nishiki, who had only seen him once or twice during the recording, would care, but Kawahasa Natsuko was really worried.
The reason I know about this is because the week of the single being released or the day when Kawahara Namoko submitted the manuscript.
When entrusting the outside world to provide lyrics and music, it was certainly not like Kawaka Naboko who came to see Shinichi Iwahashi with a sample of the song, or agreed to meet in the recording studio.
Kawahashi Naboko's agent sent the song to the record company. After that, she called Shinichi Iwahashi again to inform him. It was said that this step was not necessary, so the song was sent over, just wait for Shinichi Iwahashi to contact her office.
However, Kawaka Naboko was grateful to Shinichi Iwahashi for his approval and made it happen in order to show his politeness.
When Shinichi Iwahashi received the call, the song sample had not been delivered to him. After hearing Kawahashi Naboko's words, he thanked her first, "I will listen carefully."
The two of them were kind to each other on the phone, and the single was released this week, and it was inevitable that they would be mentioned.
Naboko Kawahashi talked to Shinichi Iwahashi about going to the record store quietly, "...The singles are placed very conspicuously, and it seems that there are more people buying them than I thought."
Doing such a thing is not like an older senior. However, when I went to see it, I even joked about it as a joke, and could see a corner of Kawakano's personality.
Shinichi Iwahashi heard this and expressed his curiosity, "Did Kawahisan buy one?"
Kawahara Naboko smiled on the phone, "This one should be treated as a secret."
Shinichi Iwahashi accepted this little joke. The two chatted for a few more words. Before hanging up the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi said that if the songs she provided were activated, she might need to go to the recording studio in person to meet and chat with Yoko Mino.
In response, Kawahara Naboko agreed very readily.
...
As December approaches, the atmosphere at the end of the year is even stronger.
Last year, due to the critically ill of the locust, the shopping streets were not very popular, and all companies were very restrained. This year, they were full of enthusiasm to make up for the last year's share, all kinds of luxurious entertainment, and whatever they wanted.
The society is full of luxury, and the securities market and the real estate market are rising. Every day, new rich people drive new sports cars to show off their power. In Roppongi's nightclub, you can see the rich scenery of spending a lot of money every night.
At the end of the year, Shinichi Iwahashi spent more time on social engagements and had more opportunities to see these amazing scenes. He is a producer and a record company operator, and occasionally guest-starred as a band mascot. No matter which identity he has, he is busy at the end of the year, and his itinerary is full of every day.
When he was a band mascot, he didn't have the chance to appreciate it, but the other two identities allowed him to enjoy the treatment he gave himself as a huge sum of money, and also to entertain others with such treatment.
GENZO's hospitality funding doubled at the end of the year.
Thinking about this kind of thing, it is clear that once the hospitality specifications of other firms and companies are all raised, the standards of hospitality for their record company and other record companies must also be turned up. Otherwise, they will offend people because of being slow.
After all, in such an era, you always have to participate in different ways and it is impossible to stay out of it.
