858. The Merry Talent(1/2)
On the last day of March, Warner and GENZO will hold official music selections.
Previously, the record company and the firm sent Akina Nakamori's requests and proposals for the album to Shinichi Iwahashi. Now, they finally have to discuss face to face.
Shinichi Iwahashi works with her as a producer, and the song selection meeting will be held in Warner's conference room.
That morning, Akina Nakamori was still in Osaka. He booked a program for Kansai TV. He arrived in Osaka the night before. After recording the program today, he rushed back to Tokyo to participate in the afternoon music selection. The music selection was over, and at 1 a.m., there was a radio program to participate.
I have long been used to this kind of busy life, and no matter whether it is Akina Nakamori or the staff accompanying me, I don’t feel it is very urgent. Even after recording the program and before returning, Akina Nakamori still has the luxury of buying some local specialties.
While wandering around, she asked as if she was discussing with Da Ben: "Do you want to bring a meeting gift to Iwahashi Sang?"
After saying this, she shook her head, was attracted by something else, and walked forward. She couldn't guess whether she wanted it or not.
This self-righteous style is used to Daben, but she feels helpless, and she feels too childish.
Previously, during the planning and negotiation stage, Akina Nakamori was not ruthless at all. At this moment, after the plan was decided, she was satisfied with the plan she gave, so she could discuss everything and even remembered the meeting gift for Shinichi Iwahashi.
During the first cooperation, Akina Nakamori had a big argument with Shinichi Iwahashi in the recording studio. Everyone related to this matter knew. The firm thought that she was particularly picky because of the unpleasant cooperation last time.
But Daben is close to the site and is really looking at it. I feel that it is not what the people in the firm think.
It is true that there was a big quarrel in the recording studio, but afterwards, I just conveyed a sentence that Shinichi Iwahashi praised her for her good ideas. Akina Nakamori seemed to have been recognized and smiled.
Now this arrogant attitude is more competitive than to hate Iwahashi Shinichi's faults.
However, that Iwahashi Sang is not an ordinary person.
After praising Akina Nakamori's idea, he could really make a new plan in the future. Da Ben has to admire this action.
In addition to admiration, as an agent, I really thank the producer for his appreciation of Akina Nakamori.
Of course, no matter how much he appreciates, no matter how much he admires, he still thought quietly in his heart that he hopes that this round of cooperation will end safely.
...
This time, we have prepared all the songs provided by the band. The song collection was handed over to Shinichi Iwahashi, and the song selection was carried out by him, Akina Nakamori, and Warner's team.
First determine the theme and style of the new album, and then find a suitable partner to invite songs based on the theme and style. Shinichi Iwahashi promoted the development of the band trend and was regarded as a hero in the band circle. Now he came out to invite songs. The parties he invited, whether popular or not, personal or easy-going, almost responded to his invitation.
Although he neither writes lyrics nor composes, with this kind of person, he will not lack good songs. Besides, he also has signed contracted singer-songwriters and bands, as well as songwriters signed under his personal production company.
In this song selection, Shinichi Iwahashi did not get the song from the record company's music library, but instead used the production company's music library.
Shinichi Iwahashi cooperated frequently with Warner, from the first time he received Warner's assistance when he held a music festival, and then later he went out to open a production company independently and got the first production order. Then, he had two cooperations with Akina Nakamori.
The song selection meeting was held at 3 pm, and Shinichi Iwahashi arrived on time. When he went there, Akina Nakamori had arrived. Her agent and assistant were waiting outside, and she also acted as the role of welcoming Shinichi Iwahashi.
Yanyin has always entrusted the production matters to Warner, but he did not ask about the details. However, after the song selection meeting ended, the one who was responsible for paying for the entertainment of the relevant person in this conference room was Yanyin's firm.
"Iwahashi Sang." When Omoto saw him, he quickly said hello.
Shinichi Iwahashi returned the polite words and said a few words. When he raised his eyelids, he saw Akina Nakamori looking at him. His eyes met. The assistant first opened his eyes wide and lowered his head to him.
This reaction is unspeakable.
Shinichi Iwahashi withdrew his gaze, said goodbye to Omoto, and walked to the conference room.
The others walked away, and Assistant Momoi breathed a light sigh.
When Da Ben heard it, he thought the little assistant was funny, "You shouldn't be nervous, right?"
The little assistant wanted to nod and shook his head, so he stood there motionless and changed the topic, "That Iwahashi Sang man is really amazing."... He said that he wanted to cooperate and could immediately invite him to come.
Daimoto admitted that "it is indeed an amazing person." He remembered that when he first knew that there was such a person, Shinichi Iwahashi was still a staff member who ran errands everywhere. However, because he was different from the past, he would never mention these things.
"Amy Caisang is looking forward to this cooperation, are you?" said the little assistant.
Although Iwahashi Shinichi sent the invitation to cooperate and gathered together for negotiations, and the people in charge of the record company and the relevant people in charge of the record company have heard of it, the assistant felt that it was precisely because of the expectation that Akana Sang was so picky.
"Do you think so too?" Da Ben smiled.
The little assistant nodded, "If Akana Sang's words are not expected, they will not be so picky."
With Akanasan's usual personality and voice in work, if she doesn't like it, she will directly refuse from the beginning.
What's more, the other party is Iwaki Sang.
The little assistant thought of this and stopped. While silently reciting the assistant manual in his heart, he quietly looked at the big book. He gave up on the private affairs of Akana Sang, but he couldn't help but want to observe Big Ben Sang and see what his reaction was.
Damoto thought to himself, but didn't notice the little assistant's eyes. He said, "The last cooperation was a great success. Iwahashi Sang is now in the limelight. It would be great if this cooperation could achieve good results."
"But..." He changed his mind.
The little assistant was halfway through listening and curiosity came to his senses, "But?"
Only then did Omoto look at the little assistant and ask her to laugh at her waiting to satisfy her curiosity. He said, "Warner is responsible for music production, and the firm has to be responsible for entertaining Iwahashi Sang in the past moment."
He mentioned, "That Yanqiao Sang is a romantic talent."
The little assistant said, "Oh?"
Da Ben's interest in speaking became weak. He stopped telling the little assistant what was missing, and began to confirm the itinerary in his hand. The little assistant felt confused after hearing the words without any end.
Is Yanqiaosang a romantic talent?
...
Shinichi Iwahashi, who was driving the music selection meeting, suddenly felt his nose itchy. After rubbing it, but fortunately he didn't sneeze.
After a song sample was played, Akina Nakamori and Warner's team each expressed their opinions. Shinichi Iwahashi put his distracted attention on the current song selection meeting.
After quarreling through the firm in advance, we have reached a consensus. The atmosphere at the music selection meeting is quite good, neither tense nor relaxed.
All the talks about the songs, Akina Nakamori no longer felt like she was excluded. On the contrary, she was the protagonist of the album, and she became the absolute central character in this song selection.
However, when she saw Shinichi Iwahashi today, she couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart.
It was about Saturday, or because he was holding a music selection meeting as a producer, Shinichi Iwahashi was not dressed in a suit and tie today, but was wearing a not-so-formal jacket.
It looks like this, but it doesn't look so good at pretending...
That night, the thing that tricked him into dressing his suits neatly flashed through her mind.
Seeing him casually dressed, I laughed in my heart, probably because I laughed in my mind for not wearing a suit.
This little thought only appeared in my mind when I came in and said hello. Later, I started to focus on the topic, talking about music and album production topics, pretending to be garlic and counter-producing garlic. All of these things were put aside by Akina Nakamori.
The song was invited after determining the theme and style of the album. In this way, this song selection was also held in the "led by Akina San's ideas" planned by Shinichi Iwahashi.
He wanted to cooperate, so Akina Nakamori let go of her mind, so the atmosphere of the music selection was particularly dedicated.
Of course, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't raise his hand to agree with everything. As a producer who focused on business achievements, he also played assists and pulled the offside back a little back on the right track.
After the song selection meeting was held, Kento came forward to take charge of the subsequent entertainment. He had to entertain both Shinichi Iwahashi, the producer, and also the team of Akina Nakamori on Warner. He had dinner first, and there was a series of programs after the meal.
Akina Nakamori also participated in the dinner. Everything went well for the song selection. Akina Nakamori was in a good mood. There were no strangers present at the dinner. They were all teams that they worked with. They were all her own people, and she was feasting and had a good appetite.
This look was absent-minded when she attended the discussion meeting with her last cooperation project, as if she was two people. But on the other hand, this was the manifestation of her relaxed mood.
Shinichi Iwahashi heard her witty words and talked and laughed at the familiar black people, thinking that this happy Akina Nakamori was more interesting than the jokes she told.
I ate dinner together, and after the subsequent reception, it had nothing to do with her.
Yanyin sent a manager in charge of the entertainment, and then went to the club for leisure, and then changed three stalls in succession. When all of them were over, it would take one or two o'clock.
The next day is Sunday when you don’t have to go to work. Tonight, Tokyo’s always rich nightlife is particularly colorful.
After dinner, Akina Nakamori said goodbye to the people who were going to go to the next casual ones. She smiled and said politely, "Thank you all today..."
His eyes fell on Shinichi Iwahashi and nodded to him, "Thank you Iwahashi today."
Shinichi Iwahashi returned the favor with politeness, "I am here."
When you talked about the album in the song selection meeting, you didn't feel that you said goodbye politely. The disappearing meaning of pretending to be garlic was unknowingly, as if it had come between the two again.
Akina Nakamori blinked and showed this guy's appearance as if nothing had happened.
It seemed as if she didn't look like she was as if nothing had happened.
Shinichi Iwahashi finished politely with her, turned his head and talked to the people from Warner.
His appearance that he only regarded Akina Nakamori as the partner of his cooperation made Akina Nakamori feel sour. With a sourness, he subtly showed a little excessive concern for Shinichi Iwahashi.
On the other hand, the people in black behind the scenes continued to eat, drink and have fun. On the other hand, Akina Nakamori left the restaurant where she was eating and got into the car.
The agent Omoto wants to entertain these men in black behind the scenes with the manager sent by Kenyin, the assistant and the driver. Next, listen to Akina Nakamori's dispatch.
It's not even eight o'clock in the evening now.
The next work starts at 1 a.m., for a period of time, not long or short. Akina Nakamori plans to go home first and take the little dog Kenta out for a walk, and even if you have to walk, it will be enough to take a walk downstairs for a walk.
After that, I asked my friend to dance, have a drink, and I tried to kill until twelve o'clock, and then I went to the TBS Broadcasting Bureau to record the program.
Akina Nakamori got into the car and told her assistant what she planned.
Assistant Momoi said, "Yeah, yeah" and remembered it in his heart, "Is it okay for Kenta-kun to be alone at home?"
"Very good." Akina Nakamori said of puppy, and maternal love immediately spread.
During the time when Jiantai first picked him up, the little assistant helped him take him to the dog school for class. Sometimes he took the puppy to the workplace. When she was busy with work, the puppy would be handed over to the little assistant to take care of him.
Both of them are young girls and have no resistance to cute things. The little assistant also likes Jiantao very much.
"Although sometimes I feel that Kenta always wants to send him to foster care when he is on a business trip, I feel a little sorry for him..." Akina Nakamori would not tell Omoto about puppy.
