096. Sudden changes

The poster was not posted on the window or hung on the street lamp pole, but was held in the hands of the worker responsible for replacing the poster and was about to hang it on.

What attracted Shinichi Iwahashi's attention was the theme of this poster

"Join Jet's visit to Japan, the first performance in eight years since the therunaways period."

Who is Joan Jet?

She was the guitarist of an all-female hard rock band called therunaways in the 1970s. The band, although only existed for just four years, was the first female hard rock band to have achieved commercial success.

After the band disbanded, Joan Jet continued to play her rock and roll and released a famous song called "iloverokn" roll, which shone in the field she loved deeply, and was also very successful as a female rock singer.

...

"I'm sorry." Shinichi Iwahashi called out to the worker who was hanging the poster.

"May I ask, is Joan Jeter coming to Tokyo to perform?"

"Yes." The worker replied, without looking at him, and focused on hanging the poster. Shinichi Iwahashi stood beside him, watching the worker hang the poster, marking the time and location of the performance on it.

The martial arts hall one month later.

The poster is wearing a leather jacket, and the shape looks quite "rock". The worker who has hung the poster then moves to the next place, ignoring the young man staring at the poster.

Shinichi Iwahashi stared at the poster for a while, feeling the fog blocking his eyes dissipated.

Instead of looking for a place to have cold drinks, he found a public telephone booth on the street, called the inquiry desk, and asked about information about Joan Jet's visit to Japan.

The young lady on the other end of the phone probably thought he was a fan who consulted on ticket purchases. She patiently talked about the phone number and payment process of the phone ticket purchases. At the end, she kindly reminded him that there would be tickets on the opening day.

"Thank you." Shinichi Iwahashi hung up the phone and walked towards the office.

When he returned to the first production department, his colleague told him that when he was out just now, Secretary Wanyumi Watanabe called from the inside and asked him to come over.

"I didn't expect you to come back so soon." said the colleague.

Shinichi Iwahashi politely gave a reason and changed the topic, "Misuan let me go?"

Since the project was officially launched, Watanabe Manyumi has not yet looked for him again.

"Yes." The colleague's reaction was also very polite.

Watanabe Manyumi's support for Shinichi Iwahashi made him famous in the Planning Committee, and this gust of wind blew to the First Production Department. However, unlike the atmosphere of the Planning Committee, the colleagues in the First Production Department did not respond much.

In fact, in the art world, the relationship between men and women is not as sensitive as in other industries, and moral constraints are relatively loose, especially for the black-clad men who are behind the scenes.

You can eat fast food, just remember to pay the bills after you finish eating. Even if you are having an affair, just don’t make everyone know that mistresses come to the door and the company receives the letter of exposure. In other words, don’t cause trouble to others if you make a big deal.

His abilities are obvious to all in the first production department, so no one cares about his private life. Especially when he is not from a high school and clearly shows that his family is not suitable for the right person.

Even after his colleagues on the Planning Committee officially joined the group, he handled his work well and gained a foothold, he confirmed that he was not a fool to cause trouble, and his colleagues' eyes were fading when they stared at him and Wanyumi Watanabe's gossip.

Since you do a good job and have the ability, it doesn’t matter what else you do.

Back at his position, Shinichi Iwahashi picked up the phone and called Watanabe Manyumi's secretary. After a while, Watanabe Manyumi called him over.

Putting down the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi went over to see her.

A while ago, Watanabe Manyumi didn't want to see Shinichi Iwahashi.

The blow from his mother Watanabe Misa directly pressed her to the point and couldn't move. Because of her mother's actions, she could not provide any help to Shinichi Iwahashi who had just joined the group, so she could only let him work hard.

Until he watched him stand firm and slowly eliminated the negative impact brought to him by his own work attitude because of the differences in opinions between her and her sister, Manyumi Watanabe was relieved.

Waiting for the time when Shinichi Iwahashi came, the phone suddenly rang. Wanyumi Watanabe picked up the receiver and just heard the beginning, her expression changed slightly.

When Shinichi Iwahashi knocked on the door and was allowed to enter, Manyumi Watanabe had just put down the phone. Seeing him in, his face was not very good, but he quickly calmed down, making people unable to see anything.

"You're looking for me."

"I just received the call, Matsuzaki Junmisan from Tom★cat, said I can't come."

"Can't come?"

Tom★cat is a band that combines men and women, and debuted in the same year as Rebecca. However, Rebecca is April and Tom★cat is November.

tom★cat became famous with his debut single "Roknroll". When Matsuzaki Junmi performed on stage, she liked to wear welding protective glasses as sunglasses, which is also a very famous feature.

Matsuzaki Junmi was not the group who responded to Terada Keiko, but was contacted through Watanabe production after the establishment of the planning committee. She was not very enthusiastic about this music festival, and she agreed after several communications.

"Contract dispute." Manyumi Watanabe explained, "Tom★cat's record contract and agency contract were signed separately. The invitation to this music festival was accepted through the record company. But we didn't know in advance that Tom★cat is preparing to become an independent firm."

"As a result, during the negotiations, due to the unclear copyright, they had a disagreement with the firm, and offended the president. Matsuzaki Sang initiated the suspension of the show, and all the performances were affected. Now it is hard to say where the band will go."

"Tonight, the formal fax will be delivered to the Planning Commission's office."

If you say you don’t do it, you won’t do it. I really don’t know if you want to praise it, “Girl, you are so rock!”

But judging from the current situation, as the affected party, Shinichi Iwahashi only wants to say, "Girl, you really know how to make trouble."

It is better to disperse than to get together. To create such a big battle, not only will it offend the firm, but it will also offend the surroundings. I am afraid that even if the contract ends smoothly, they will no longer have their place in the mainstream world in the future.

“It’s awful.”

Junmi Matsuzaki is a bit famous among the invited female singers. Now she suddenly said no to do so, which is another blow. But what Manyumi Watanabe said is "bad" is more about expressing her criticism of such employees as the decision-maker of the firm.

However, after hearing this, Shinichi Iwahashi was optimistic, "It's a good thing for us."

Watanabe Manyumi looked at him.

"The official list has not been announced yet. Matsuzaki Sang has now announced his withdrawal. It is a hundred times better than when we have already started publicity with great fanfare. She will withdraw again."

"That's true." Wanmei Watanabe smiled.

After looking at Shinichi Iwahashi, he was calm and confident. His expression was exactly the same as when he thought of a good idea. He couldn't help but be curious, he had a new idea again?

Sure enough, the next moment, Shinichi Iwahashi spoke and said his plans.

"I think we can open our eyes to this music festival in terms of lineup selection."

“For example?”

“Invite female bands and singers from overseas to attend the show.”
