Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1547. Intolerable

Once the net is cast, we look forward to the moment of pulling it in.

However, in such a volatile era, the hunter is also the prey, and the targeted target has his own way of survival. Until the fateful event occurs, no one knows the answer to the times, and no one knows the final winner.

The unknown is frightening, but it also excites adventurers. The more vague the outline of the road ahead is, the more they want to explore it. This is because in the eyes of conceited people, the vague outline is not the true face of the unknown world, but the prototype of their grand plan.

To move towards the vague outline is to get a glimpse of the full picture of unknown things for others, but in Tetsuya Komuro's view, the so-called unknown is to use more power for one's own benefit, so that the truth of the future is infinitely close to what one has in mind.

Such a person is naturally an extraordinary figure.

Cooperating with Iwahashi Shinichi, accepting Suho Ikuo's flirtations, and even going on a blind date with the son of a media tycoon, he set his first sight on the Hong Kong market when entering overseas markets...

By completing the creation of popularity in the Japanese record market, Tetsuya Komuro gained the confidence to stretch himself into an octopus.

Even though he had known about Tetsuya Komuro's actions for a long time, and knew how ambitious this person was, and how many calculations he had, even so, when Tetsuya Komuro was about to collaborate with Masahiro Hamada, a member of the comedy group DOWNTOWN, and this project was sent to Shinichi Iwahashi's desk, he was displeased for the first time because of this person's frivolous arrogance.

On this day, Akamatsu Haruko came to discuss with him the direction of record production for the second half of next year. She was allowed in, but saw that the boss had a bad expression on his face. She was unsure whether it was the right time to come.

Iwahashi Shinichi raised his eyes, caught a glimpse of her pretending to be stupid, and said to her: "Don't act stupid if you have a smart face."

Akamatsu Haruko didn't understand but agreed: "Yes."

...More like playing dumb.

The eldest disciple is a white-skinned person. This kind of personality makes her successful in her work.

Similar to Akamatsu Haruko is another capable female assistant of Shinichi Iwahashi, Michi Iijima, who has an inconspicuous face that works hard and never complains, but anyone who really underestimates her will definitely suffer at her hands.

Iwahashi sighed, accepting that there are two sides to the story. He changed the subject and chatted with Akamatsu Haruko as a fun thing: "Mr. Komuro sent me an interesting project."

Akamatsu Haruko pretended to listen attentively, and when Shinichi Iwahashi saw this, he simply handed over the plan.

Tetsuya Komuro planned a script for his cooperation with Masahiko Hamada. When he and his female singers participated in a variety show hosted by DOWNTOWN, Masahiko Hamada would "challenge" them, saying that the Komuro group only had female singers, and whether it was because Tetsuya Komuro himself did not know how to produce male singers.

Tetsuya Komuro then made a bet with Masahiro Hamada on the spot that he would tailor a debut plan for him.

Akamatsu Haruko finished browsing the project plan and said, "Until I entered this industry, I believed that the impromptu projects on TV were real."

“So, those who have fantasies about television are advised not to enter the television industry.”

Shinichi Iwahashi said: "Famous producers and popular comedians decide on a project while chatting and laughing on the show. This is what the audience likes to see the most."

How can it not be a pleasure to watch a genius display his talent? Tetsuya Komuro is well aware of the audience's psychology.

Akamatsu Haruko suddenly said, "In other words, if it's just a show effect, then what you said doesn't count, right?" This was a clever way of answering. Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her seriously for a while and praised her, "You have made more progress. From now on, even I will look at you with new eyes."

Akamatsu Haruko showed a humble expression. She then asked, "Do you think this plan is not good?"

"Tetsuya Komuro and Masato Hamada, a combination like this, people will buy into whatever they produce." Shinichi Iwahashi stated a basic fact.

Who is Hamada Masatoshi? His group DOWNTOWN is one of the top comedy groups today. He and his partner Matsumoto Hitoshi are both versatile comedians who have reserved their seats at the top of the entertainment industry pyramid.

Masatoshi Hamada has a signature move of hitting the guest's head in the show, and it is also known as "People who are hit on the head by Hamada will have good luck", which has become a popular fashion item. The television industry has always liked to play obedience tests, and this little thing can give us a glimpse of it.

However, what makes these two people so outstanding is not only how successful they are as comedians, but also that they have a very high status within Yoshimoto Kogyo.

This cooperation plan of Tetsuya Komuro seemed to be a spur of the moment idea. However, the intention of involving Yoshimoto Kogyo's big artist was to put pressure on Iwahashi Shinichi.

He has such a big ambition, but he looks around so much, trying to bind all the power to himself. Little does he know that for a small person, the necessary small cleverness is very important. But if he leaves the situation of a small person and pursues something bigger, small cleverness will not only be useless, but will also put himself in a bad situation.

No matter how talented Tetsuya Komuro is, he has fallen behind by using such petty tricks.

Akamatsu Haruko suddenly mentioned: "The single you produced for Shinsuke-san was also well received."

"You mean, Komuro-san and Hamada-san working together is no different than that?"

“There are always many comedians who can show off their singing skills.”

Shinichi Iwahashi smiled and said, "As long as GENZO is responsible for the production and distribution, it will be no different from the previous cooperation." He was originally in a bad mood, but at this moment, he felt a lot better because of Haruko Akamatsu's clever repartee.

Akamatsu Haruko pondered the reason why Iwahashi Shinichi was in a bad mood because of this project, and said, "There are some people in the world who say that 'Komuro's songs are too high-pitched and are tailor-made for female singers.' Komuro-san himself seems to be very concerned about the evaluation related to himself. But in this case, choosing a tone-deaf comedian as the first male singer to cooperate is a clever way to please people."

The fact that they invited a comedian to sing the song was to avoid such views from the outside world and to cleverly use the way the topic was handled. The choice of Hamada Masahiro shows that Tetsuya Komuro has an outstanding business mind.

"Having said that, what Mr. Komuro created is itself an independent trend..." So he also has the right to interpret the trend he created.

When she said this, she realized that "independence" in this context could also be replaced by "monopoly" and stopped talking.

Click till.

Iwahashi Shinichi did not go into the topic any further, and only said, "We can do the project, but we have to choose a good time." He turned the page and said to Akamatsu Haruko, "Tell me about the direction of your record production in the second half of next year. Then, we can free up our hands to produce more than one super-large new artist."

It's time to throw this hot potato away.
