Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1036 1036. Super idol
Komuro Tetsuya doesn't act like a musician, but this evaluation is accurate.

After repeated contact with this talented musician, he gave Iwahashi Shinichi the impression that he was like an ambitious businessman.But it would be wrong to say that he was a businessman.

To be precise, he seems like a naive musician with a businessman's shrewdness, the kind of artist who doesn't need an agent to sell.

Tonight, Tetsuya Komuro introduced Katsuto Matsuura to him first, and then talked with him about the prospect of electronic dance music.Although he didn't say what this musical talent was thinking directly, Yanqiao Shinichi was not unconscious.

It was only when he realized Tetsuya Komuro's thoughts that Shinichi Iwahashi stopped treating him only as a "music talent".

Komuro Tetsuya and Matsuura Katsuto, these two people seem to be out of reach. The thing that can make the two of them have a good time together and connect these two people is obviously the Eurobeat series made by Matsuura Katsuto with all his wealth.And the reason why these two people chose to contact him is also obvious, it is the important topic mentioned tonight: electronic dance music.

When asked about his opinion on electronic dance music, Shinichi Iwahashi replied that this type of music may have great prospects, not just verbal social rhetoric, but really thinks that this type of music has a chance to soar into the sky.

At this moment, the bubble economy is on the verge of collapse, but the real winter has yet to come.When the economy is booming, people sing and sing every night, and go out to play during holidays, and accordingly, cheap entertainment is thrown aside.In turn, the economy is down, and people, willingly or not, are abandoning their old ways of life and refocusing their attention on cheap entertainment.

In addition, in an era of falling from a height and panic, people are more likely to fall into blind conformity, and they need more entertainment to numb themselves.

Dazzling and crowded, disco is a cheap and fun entertainment place that can bring a sense of security and satisfy the inner emptiness.The strong beat of electronic music can bring the most direct sensory stimulation to the audience.

From this point of view, the power of combining the two into one is extraordinary.

The more sluggish the economy is, the more developed the entertainment industry is. This is an irrefutable truth.For practitioners in the arts industry, the bursting of the bubble means the arrival of opportunities.

However, there is another important reason why Shinichi Iwahashi believes that electronic music will be promising in the future.That is, compared with electronic music, the cost of production is lower, and it is more suitable for mass production.

In times of inner turmoil, people will seek to hide in a certain group in order to gain a sense of security from it.One of the characteristics of electronic music is that as long as you eat this style, it is very "safe" in terms of hearing. It is a type of music that is full of security, but without losing variety and freshness.

Komuro Tetsuya and Matsuura Katsuto are optimistic about the future of electronic music, and Iwahashi Shinichi also believes that it is worth a try.Even if it is an idea with little certainty and only a little possibility, it still needs to be pondered, not to mention that with a little thought, you can already see something in the future.

The band's current craze will always fade away, and new trends will emerge. Whether it's producing solo singers or exploring other possibilities, it's all an effort to keep record companies ahead.

During the idol boom, there were a lot of firms and small record companies that took advantage of the shareholder style. Some companies seized the opportunity to grow bigger and bigger, and some companies had to close down after eating up the dividends of their idols. .

The current GENZO, of course, has gained a firm foothold in the industry.But Shinichi Iwahashi's pursuit obviously goes beyond that.We must seize the opportunities we can, let GENZO always run ahead, and become a first-class record company in the industry.

For this reason, whether it is recruiting talents or engaging in win-win cooperation, if you have the confidence to try and make mistakes, you must seize the opportunity.

Tetsuya Komuro pulled Katsuto Matsuura and actively expressed his willingness to cooperate with him. Shinichi Iwahashi did not intend to miss such an opportunity.Regardless of whether the results are as good as imagined, but at least for now, this matter is worth a try.Of course, of those two, one was still signed to CBS, and the other, no matter how embarrassing, also ran a record label.To cooperate, we must first solve the troubles and problems.

The attitude of Sony, and the Abex DD of Katsuto Matsuura.Solving these two matters is the prerequisite for discussing cooperation.

The exchange tonight made Iwahashi Shinichi feel that Tetsuya Komuro is a naive and shrewd music businessman.Seeing this side of him and knowing his thoughts, Makoto Iwahashi probably has an idea of ​​what Komuro Tetsuya will ask of him.

If this talented musician wanted to be the producer himself and create the products he had in mind, then Shinichi Iwahashi could understand why this talented musician would choose him instead of other major record companies.

besides……

Yanqiao Shinichi grasped the flash of inspiration.He then thought that if electronic music can become popular, then the opportunity to launch a new type of idol may be hidden in it.

If the premise of popular electronic music is "conformity", then, in the era when everyone conforms to the crowd and everyone is cautious about falling off the steel wire, the public will long for the emergence of maverick "heroes" and give them the freedom to do whatever they want. that power.

If you think this way, a new "super idol" may not appear.It's just that he or she will be different from the previous idols and appear in the world in a new form.

Of course, these are still distant things.At least, until Tetsuya Komuro clarified his goals and ideas to him, before the two sides really entered the step of considering cooperation, it was not something that required Shinichi Iwahashi to consider.

Yanqiao Shinichi was full of thoughts, but was suddenly interrupted by Nakamori Akina's voice.He turned his head and looked at her.This Taopu star looked at him thoughtfully, "Did I disturb you?"

"No." Yanqiao Shenyi replied.

After speaking, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, as if I ran out from the mountain of work.He was half joking, and said, "It's better to say, thanks to you, I'm relieved."... Withdrawing from business.

Akina Nakamori couldn't help smiling, "You can really talk."

The driver who was driving silently in the front row, gradually changing from emotional to emotionless, couldn't help holding his breath when he heard such words coming from someone like Shinichi Iwahashi.

It turns out that when Iwahashi-san was in love, he could speak beautiful words like this.

……

After meeting with Tetsuya Komuro this time, Shinichi Iwahashi went to formally discuss with Boli Jiayin, hoping that the other party would agree to Toshihiko Takamizawa joining Tetsuya Komuro and Lin Jiashu in this cooperation.

He has a "previous record" of producing a cross-border album that unites half of the industry, and he has received support from Sony. He is not so much here to negotiate for Takamizawa Toshihiko, as it is to negotiate as a representative of Sony.Of course, as long as Sony doesn't make a public commission, it's still a private commission between those three beauties and his mediocre producer.

The projected album produced by Shinichi Iwahashi, in addition to becoming the first million-dollar album after entering the Heisei era, also made a contribution to the industry.That is:

The cross-company cooperation between singers, which rarely happened before, has a precedent that has achieved great success, and this precedent has also left a template for cross-company cooperation.

In this way, when Shinichi Iwahashi, a producer who set a precedent in the industry, came forward to discuss cooperation in person, Boli Jiayin's side was also more talkative than expected.

In itself, Sony and Boli Jiayin are not antagonistic enemies, and THE ALFEE, the band that Toshihiko Takamizawa belongs to, is not the kind of unknown small band that has to do everything step by step.The object of cooperation with him, X is now a red star in the band, and TM NETWORK was once all the rage. In terms of status and fame, no one has dragged anyone down.

As for seniority, it doesn't matter much.

The lobbyist job that Shinichi Yanqiao sneaked out of his busy schedule went smoothly. Polly Jiayin let go, and then the two record companies began to discuss cooperation arrangements, plans for the promotion period, and the most important copyright. problem.

Loose mouth agreed, but it was just the beginning of the battle.

Of course, Iwahashi Shinichi had only accepted the private entrustment of those three people after all, and his job was only to get Polly Jiayin to nod, and that was it.

Next, let him come forward again, it is time for the two record companies to talk about the same.After all, in order to be famous as a teacher, Shinichi Iwahashi was also the executive producer invited by those three people.

As soon as the cooperation was negotiated, the record company started a joint negotiation meeting, and when the three of them were about to officially enter the recording studio, Shinichi Iwahashi, the named executive producer, would also go to sit in town for a few days at that time.

Although it is obvious that the cooperation of the three people is to have fun, and it is definitely more important to express what they want to express through music than to put best sales first.

Since Yanqiao Shinichi knew it well, he didn't want to tell the three of them what to do. When the time came, he would just play a support at ease, and by the way, when the three geniuses were tense due to differences, he would come forward to fight.

He successfully completed the task, unloaded the burden, and had an explanation to the three people who were waiting for him, Tetsuya Komuro, Lin Jiashu, and Toshihiko Takamizawa.

As soon as Polly Jiayin let go, the three beautiful men were about to treat the guests and have a big drink.

Lin Jiashu and Komuro Tetsuya didn't sing and said something else. Takamizawa Toshihiko, the lead singer of a band, drank a lot. His voice has not fallen much except for the high pitch, which is also a representative of talent.

Komuro Tetsuya introduced Matsuura Katsuto to Iwahashi Shinichi, and vaguely revealed his ambitions and ideas to him. In a sense, the relationship between the two parties is no longer limited to wine and meat friends, or commissioned and The object that was entrusted.

However, Tetsuya Komuro acted as if nothing had happened in this gathering of four people, but he held his composure.Not only was his attitude calm, but for a while, he didn't ask Yanqiao Shinichi to meet again to talk about electronic music.

Yanqiao Shinichi was even less anxious.

He knew it.Now that Komuro Tetsuya has revealed his thoughts to him, next time we talk about this matter, we must cut to the chase.Knowing this, Iwahashi Shinichi felt that it would not be a bad thing to wait a while.

Dealing with Polly Jiayin, I was almost busy with business, and Shinichi Iwahashi had some free time, and he couldn't help but think of Chuck and Asuka, who were the behind-the-scenes team for Hikari GENJI.He silently planned in his heart that after the formal negotiation of this cooperation here, the chances of contacting Polly Jiayin at the music selection meeting and business meeting will also increase greatly. At that time, he will take a small step by the way.

A talented musician should stand in the most conspicuous place and attract the attention of all.

……

On March 27th, Dahei Moji's debut album was released. Two or three days before that, her album had already been placed on the shelves of the record store.

Compared with the indiscriminate publicity scale when the debut single was released, this time, the release of this debut album is much smaller.Of course, there is all the publicity that should be there, and because of the success of her debut single, she herself is a topical figure, plus Dentsu's support, and BURNING also intends to sell favors. In this debut album, among the ten songs, there are actually A total of six songs were used as commercial songs, theme songs of variety shows, etc., absolutely the treatment of first-line celebrities.

The debut single has successfully accumulated a strong reputation, and the public is full of enthusiasm for her every move. At this moment, as long as they get a little information about her album release, someone will immediately rush to the record store to buy the next one.And when they opened the album, the first thing they saw was the flyer placed inside the album.

"Dakoku Moki, April [-]th, Tokyo Dome, public performance!!"

This year's most successful female solo rookie, who has attracted everyone's attention and speculation, will hold her first public performance at the Tokyo Dome in less than a month.And the first time she stood on stage was at the Tokyo Dome!
Tokyo Dome, that's a place where only top stars hold concerts.Now, this newcomer who has never met before, is she going to hold a concert in such a place?
However, instead of questioning whether a newcomer can perform at the Tokyo Dome, for the audience who saw the promotional flyer enclosed in the album, or the performance advertisement that was carried out almost at the same time as the album promotion, another one prevailed in their minds. Thoughts, that is—

What kind of newcomer is worthy of such super-standard publicity.And what kind of rookie can stand on the stage of Tokyo Dome as soon as he debuts?
The success of Dahei Moji's debut single told the public that she deserves that kind of publicity.

Because of this, this time, the public is more surprised, expecting, and curious about her performance at the Tokyo Dome.

And these various ideas lead to a common choice.

That is: be prepared to call in as soon as the ticket sales are opened.For Daikoku Moki!
　Thank you to the leader of "Janzijin".Thank you for your rewards
