Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1557. Re-appointment
People may think that the fashion created by Tetsuya Komuro is a treasure that cannot be let go once you grab it. But Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't think so.

It is true that Tetsuya Komuro's talent is a treasure, but holding on to it too tightly means misfortune to some extent.

"In any case, people like Komuro-san can bring fresh air to the industry. But this industry is also extremely averse to change," Shinichi Iwahashi told Mayumi Watanabe.

In fact, Tetsuya Komuro's background is not tolerated by the industry.

His legendary success and his increasingly dangerous situation are two sides of the same coin. This person has a forward-looking vision but lacks rational judgment.

He doesn't even need anyone to fuel the flames. As long as he succeeds, his ambition will continue to expand, and naturally, he will challenge things that are not tolerated by the industry but are the general trend of the future.

Because of this, Tetsuya Komuro is more suitable than anyone else to be the person who lifts the roof and disrupts the industry.

During the meeting with Mayumi Watanabe, Shinichi Iwahashi did not give a definite answer. However, for the industry, when the news of Tetsuya Komuro's collaboration with VERMILLION Records spread, their eyes were already fixed on GENZO and Shinichi Iwahashi's reaction.

The longer Shinichi Iwahashi remains inactive, the more the industry's attention will be focused on him.

This means that the industry is more concerned about Shinichi Iwahashi's reaction than the new artist launched by VERMILLION Records who has attracted Tetsuya Komuro.

However, for the general public, the most eye-catching thing is, of course, the singer who is about to make a big debut.

In the flourishing record market, while the public is enthusiastically pursuing pop music, their demand for singers and works that stimulate their senses is also increasing.

In the beginning, people could get attention just by singing quietly. But nowadays, if you want to impress the audience who are becoming numb to pop music, you need stimulation, whether it is a topic or visual stimulation.

Namie Amuro, a girl who went solo from an already popular group, has a dazzling appearance, impactful star temperament, and a famous producer who is indispensable to her to protect her.

Intensive publicity, grand hype, and exaggerated revelations, whether true or false, these techniques that the industry is using more and more skillfully are particularly suitable and effective when used on Namie Amuro.

The way this girl appeared seemed like some kind of ingenious setting that reached its climax at this moment. Or maybe it was just that the times had come to such a moment.

A person who is born for the times and has the natural potential to become a superstar.

However, when the release date of Namie Amuro's new single was officially announced, not only the industry, but also the previously unaware public, could not help but turn their attention to GENZO.

After Maki Daikoku announced the release date of his new single, VERMILLION Records followed suit and announced that Namie Amuro's new single would be released on the same day.

For the public who are looking forward to excitement, such an arrangement undoubtedly adds to the excitement.

……

VERMILLION Records took the initiative to challenge GENZO, and Shinichi Iwahashi's silent strategy could no longer continue.

This time, Mayumi Watanabe's call came very quickly, shortly after the information was delivered to Shinichi Iwahashi's desk.

A hurried phone call often implies a certain determination.

"Did you know? Namie Amuro's new single."

Shinichi Iwahashi replied: "It seems that VERMILLION is very confident." This kind of provocation is meaningless if it cannot be won.

"Listen, it's none of your business."

"But there's no need to rush to call for punishment."

"You are confident."

Iwahashi Shinichi laughed, "That really sounds like sarcasm."

"Isn't it?" Mayumi Watanabe asked back.

She admitted it too readily, leaving Iwahashi speechless. After a pause, he replied, "It's just a declaration of war." "You also know that this is a declaration of war."

“It’s better to use the producers we fully cooperate with to compete with us.”

This operation is so cliché that it makes people laugh. However, it is indeed very tricky. The reason why the cliché operation is cliché is that it works every time.

Mayumi Watanabe said: "I am a little curious whether Komuro-san is happy to see such a declaration of war, or whether he has no say in it."

"Actually, there's no difference." Shinichi Iwahashi replied.

Maybe Tetsuya Komuro is the chess player, or maybe Tetsuya Komuro is also treated as a chess piece. But Shin Iwahashi only believes in one thing: people are not chess pieces.

Mayumi Watanabe reminded that "the singers produced by Komuro-san account for nearly half of the sales of the record company."

This is Tetsuya Komuro’s confidence.

"That's the theory."

Shinichi Iwahashi's overly calm tone stunned Mayumi Watanabe for a moment.

If all these singers can only live under the care of Tetsuya Komuro, then, in a sense, they are worthless. If Tetsuya Komuro can abandon them at any time, it also means that they will become obsolete along with Tetsuya Komuro.

If Tetsuya Komuro had planned to put these singers on the table as bargaining chips, he would have lost his right to negotiate.

Shinichi Iwahashi rarely makes such a cold decision. He is good at leveraging power and advocates win-win cooperation. The last time he was so decisive, it seemed that he was decisive and abandoned the popular band Heaven.

In the moment of silence, some fragments that were too distant flashed through Mayumi Watanabe's mind.

Shinichi Iwahashi's gentle voice came from the phone: "Mayumi-san, aren't you on my side?"

"I will believe you." Mayumi Watanabe said calmly, "But you have to give an explanation to your partners. - As long as the release date of Namie Amuro's new single is set, Shinichi-kun, you must stand up."

Why would Tetsuya Komuro, who had worked so hard to cooperate, betray GENZO?

Mayumi Watanabe doesn't need an answer to this question, but her partners do.

"Explain."

Shinichi Iwahashi was amused by the word. He said, "The last time I heard this word was when I resigned as president."

"That's right."

The more ruthless she was, the more interested Iwahashi Shinichi became. He asked, "So, what kind of explanation should I give this time?"

"What are you going to do?"

"What do you think Mayumi-san?"

The two of them briefly tugged at each other, but neither of them was in the mood to engage in a verbal fight. Watanabe Mayumi finally spoke out, "Next, there will be a tough battle to fight. But before that..."

"what?"

"You have to return to the position of president."

Mayumi Watanabe said firmly: "This is the best opportunity. Shinichi-kun, you have to take over as president again. There is no more legitimate moment than this."

If anyone is to confront Tetsuya Komuro, it can only be Shinichi Iwahashi. If anyone is to confront the Burning faction head-on, the only qualified person is Shinichi Iwahashi.

The determination hidden in this urgent phone call was revealed at this moment.
