Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1043
Watanabe Wanyumi has no shortage of newcomers, and he has no idea of ​​recruiting newcomers from other firms. Of course, Iwahashi Shinichi knows this.However, he remembered in his heart that the girl he met on the set that day didn't mean Watanabe Mayumi came forward to poach her.

He replied, "Isn't the variety show on TV Tokyo just in need of actors?"

In TV variety shows, the importance of actors is self-evident.That girl's acting skills are fresh and natural, and her image is also full of characteristics.If it's appropriate, handing over an invitation is also a benefit for both parties.

As for the future, let's make future plans.

When Shinichi Iwahashi said his plan, Wanyumi Watanabe understood why this matter was not mentioned during the meal just now—it was indeed something that only needed to be mentioned in passing.

After thinking about it, she invited him to go upstairs and sit down, "Just wait a while."

Last month, Mayumi Watanabe's office just moved to a new location, still in Roppongi, but the place is much more spacious, and it rented a three-story office building in one go.

Among the singers, her agency holds the cash cow DREAMS COME TRUE in her hands. After ORIGINAL LOVE became famous by cooperating with Nakamori Akina, it has also developed rapidly in the past year or so, and there is also a big black Moji who has just become a blockbuster.

Among the actors, the morning drama heroine Takashima Reiko is at the time when her popularity and popularity are high. Advertisers are coming to her for products aimed at housewives. Ever since her debut work won an award, Izumi Inamura has been receiving a lot of attention from the industry. expect.

There is also the actor Kazuki Sawamura, who was signed by Wanyumi Watanabe for 800 million yen. This time he played the role of Kenichi Mikami in "Tokyo Love Story". Blast, after the last episode was aired, the audience rating was as high as 33.5, and it ended perfectly, giving Fuji TV a big step ahead in this spring, and also taking the lead in scoring in the TV drama war after entering the new generation.

Both the heroine Honami Suzuki and the actor Yuji Oda have greatly increased their attention due to this TV series. Kazuki Sawamura, who played the role of the romantic and suave Kenichi Mikami in the TV series, also won the " In this year's most promising newcomer actor survey, he ranked No.3.

Although the matter of voting is not counted, it can also be seen that Kazuki Sawamura has received a lot of attention.

To train an actor, one has to work steadily. Kazuki Sawamura got his first important role in a phenomenon-level work like "Tokyo Love Story". It can be said that it was his luck and the luck of the firm.

But how to transform the heat brought by this luck is another matter.However, now, relying on the popularity of Kenichi Mikami's character, Kazuki Sawamura booked three advertisements in one go, and the film appointments sent to the office came in a flood, which means the future is bright.

The firm's performance is good, and the financial resources are rolling in.But Manyumi Watanabe pursues the strategy of elite soldiers, and does not blindly expand recruitment. Counting the newcomers who have signed contracts and have not officially debuted, the entire firm now has only a dozen groups of artists. The scale cannot be smaller, and the resources are concentrated in these few. To praise the actor.

It's fine on weekdays, and artists don't come to the company. At noon, passing by the office, it's quiet, only occasionally the phone rings.

Shinichi Iwahashi and Wanyumi Watanabe went back to her president's office together, Wanyumi Watanabe told him to wait a moment and go to call by himself.After a while, I sat down next to him, "The information of the new actors who participated in the filming of "Lovely Season" will be passed on in a while."

Yanqiao Shin smiled and said, "As expected of Manyumi-san."

Mayumi Watanabe didn't like this, "Come on less."

Being exposed mercilessly, Yanqiao Shinichi stopped.He casually looked at the reception room, "It's really magnificent."

"Compared to the previous one, it's much better." Wanyumi Watanabe also answered casually.After a pause, he jokingly said, "In the early years, firms that made a fortune would go out and buy land and build buildings."

When Yanqiao heard what she said, he also jokingly replied, "Watanabe Production is probably the best among them."

"It's okay." She replied lightly.

Thinking about the huge property under the name of Watanabe Productions, the phrase "fortunately" sounds very interesting.

However, the previous office made a fortune to buy land and build an office building, and Mayumi Watanabe still rented an office. Compared with this, it is indeed frugal.Of course, in the current situation, blindly buying land must be causing trouble for oneself.

This year, not only Wanyumi Watanabe's office moved, but GENZO will also move to a new office building in September.Of course, it is also a rented house.Although there are many singers who can make money, Shinichi Iwahashi, who is stingy and budget-conscious, still has no idea of ​​buying land. He has to wait to build GENZO's own office building.

Victory belongs to the waiting party...

Actually not necessarily.The first bucket of gold he took for a loan at the beginning—the half-square-meter land in Shinjuku—suddenly disappeared during the period when he stood still.

To be precise, it is not just the piece of land that is missing, but the development of that block.

It was going on in full swing, and there were even extremely powerful front-end companies who came forward to take care of it, as if they wanted to annex the scattered land in one go, but after a headless murder case occurred in that block, it suddenly stopped. .

Yanqiao Shinichi didn't regard the ping and a half of the land as a trouble, nor did he regret that he didn't readily agree to the little hooligan's bid of 500 million yen.At most, I feel in my heart that this vigorous development plan stopped too inexplicably.

However, he didn't care about it.

If it really can't be sold, he will build a publicity booth there, specially used to post promotional posters of GENZO singers, and turn it into a scenic spot.At that time, posters will be hung outside the pavilion, and during the publicity period, in order to prevent someone from stealing the posters, the people sent out to guard them will be able to rest in the pavilion. ... definitely not a waste.

Wanyumi Watanabe's clerks were highly efficient. Before the first clerk brought in a few sips of tea, the other clerk sent over the sorted out materials of newcomers and actors who participated in the filming of "Lovely Season".

After all, there are specialties in the art industry, but actors' offices are different.

Wanyumi Watanabe took the folder without looking at it herself, and handed it directly to Shinichi Iwahashi.Yanqiao Shenyi said "thank you", opened it and flipped through it, and within a few pages, he found the newcomer he was looking for.

"It's Ryoko Shinohara." He took out this resume and showed it to Mayumi Watanabe.

Wanyumi Watanabe glanced at it, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence." She pointed to the office that Ryoko Shinohara belonged to, "It was opened by the manager of Watanabe Productions after she went out independently, and there is another office with the company. business partnership."

"Really?" Yanqiao Shinichi also smiled, "It's really a coincidence."

Wanyumi Watanabe became a little bit interested, carefully looked at Ryoko Shinohara's resume, and commented, "I have a face that is precocious but immature."

Yanqiao Shinichi couldn't help admiring, "Manyumi-san has a precise eye for seeing people."

"You have the same impression of her?" Wanyumi Watanabe teased, "It doesn't sound like you're complimenting me, it's like you're boasting."

Yanqiao Shen accepted her sentence with a smile, without replying.

Wanyumi Watanabe finished reading Ryoko Shinohara's resume, and said to him, "Afterwards, I called President Fujioka of her office to see if President Fujioka would let her go. I thought she was an actor, but I didn't." Thinking of being a member of an idol group."

Tokyo Dance Dolls has not released an album so far, and most of the members are active in the magazine modeling industry, or play tricks in TV dramas like Ryoko Shinohara.Considering the firm's positioning for the group, Ryoko Shinohara might not agree to act in short dramas and variety shows.

"In short," Yanqiao Shen has counted the twists and turns, "whether it is successful or not, just try it."

Watanabe Wanyumi agreed.

The words were almost finished, Yanqiao Shinichi originally came up to sit down by the way, but now, he planned to say goodbye in his heart.Wanyumi Watanabe spoke again, and asked, "Does Shinichi-kun have any plans to buy land?"

Iwahashi Shinichi reacted a little strangely.Reversely ask, "Do you want to buy land?"

Mayumi Watanabe saw his expression and smiled, "...it's nothing else."

He was a little helpless, "Even Wanyumi-san has become a master of trickery."

Watanabe Mayumi did not admit his accusation, "I don't think I'm trying to trick you." She said in a relaxed tone, "I just finished asking what I wanted to ask, so naturally I have nothing to say."

Yanqiao Shenyi was defeated, "Okay." Having said that, he was about to get up, "Thanks for the hospitality, I will take my leave first...in case you have nothing to say." He joked.

Watanabe Manyumi did not change her face, accepted his blow, and said softly, "Thank you for your understanding." Again Iwahashi Shinichi was defeated.

After all, it was Mayumi Watanabe.

Yan Qiaoshen was convinced and said goodbye to her.After coming out of her office, after walking a few steps, the question she had just raised came up again in her mind.

Buy land?

……

Tokyo Dance Dolls was established in 1990, with seven members in the first phase.It's hard to say whether the seven girls are good at singing and dancing, but they all look quite good, and they have all received systematic debut training.

It is said that the system of this group should be on par with the former Kitten Club, recruiting new members one after another.However, compared to the chaotic semi-amateur group of the Kitten Club, Tokyo Dance Dolls puts more emphasis on professionalism in the selection of members.

It's like a combination of traditional idol selection and the unprecedented kitten club model.

However, at the moment when this newly debuted idol is almost wiped out, everything is fine for this idol group, not to mention having a short-lived glory like Kitten Club, making a smooth debut and continuing to operate.

It has been a year since the group was established, and more than half of the members already had work experience in the entertainment industry before joining Tokyo Dance Dolls.

After Shinohara Ryoko came out of the actor training class, she played a few extra roles. Apart from her, member Ichii Yuri is a model, Anai Yuko is a beautiful girl audition, and Kawamura Zhisa, who is the team leader, is a member Among them, those who really want to be singers.

In terms of development momentum, Anai Yuko is the most sought-after now, and Ichii Yuri's modeling job is also handy. On the contrary, she is the big sister who plays small roles in TV dramas all day long.

It is precisely because everyone is not a blank sheet of paper, they will join this group, and they also want to accumulate popularity through idol activities, and use this identity as a springboard to achieve what they really want to do, so the relationship between members is quite delicate. There are no fuel-efficient lamps for individuals to form cliques.

Ryoko Shinohara, who was a bad girl in her hometown of Gunma, is also a big sister in the group.

However, Ichii Yuri, the young lady in the group who was born in Tokyo and has a good family background, never buys her, a stern country bumpkin.The more this is the case, the more Ryoko Shinohara plays prestige in front of the young lady in Tokyo, and the relationship between the two is so bad that the "Shinohara faction" in the group doesn't talk much to Ichii Yuri.

An idol group has not yet officially debuted, and the relationship is already so delicate, which can be regarded as a skill.

In "The Lovely Season", Ryoko Shinohara only had that scene of that day.After the shooting is over, there is no need to imagine that there will be flowers and applause. Instead, I have to bow one by one to thank them for their care.

The filming of the TV series is in full swing, and no one will care about the whereabouts of a secondary character.After Ryoko Shinohara finished acting in this part, she was about to go to another trick and was taken by her manager to bow to the producer.

The road ahead is boundless, and there is no chance to even get a decent role.

The good news is that the manager revealed that Tokyo Dance Doll is negotiating with Sony Records to sign a contract and prepare for their debut.If the idol makes his debut, he will get more opportunities to be exposed, and there may be a possibility of a comeback.

The members were naturally very happy when they heard that their idol would debut and sing, and Ryoko Shinohara was also looking forward to it wholeheartedly.

This is the first good news for April.

The debut is imminent, the members have to practice singing and dancing even harder, soaking in the practice room all day long, going back and forth between the practice room and the dormitory, with a common goal, the subtle ethos brought about by the group's cliques, and for the time being It stopped a little.

On this day, the members came to the practice room as usual.

There is always no shortage of supporters by the side of the eldest sister Ryoko Shinohara.Although the situation has temporarily returned to calm, there is still a clear distinction between the members when there is no practice.

For example, Ichii Yuri would never approach Ryoko Shinohara, and Ryoko Shinohara would never take the initiative to talk to her.

While the girls were chattering, the manager suddenly came over, stood at the door, and greeted, "Liangzijiang!"

Ryoko Shinohara raised her hand, "Here!" She stood up, walked to the manager's side, bowed, "Suzuki-san." She has always been the most courteous towards the staff.

The manager named Suzuki looked at her, and asked in a frivolous tone, "Have you met that Yanqiao-san?"

"Eh?" Shinohara Ryoko was a little overwhelmed.

Suzuki repeated, "Shinichi-san Iwahashi from GENO." Looking at Ryoko Shinohara's confused face, he said, "He invited you by name to join his program."
