Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 369 369. Word of Mouth Effect
(two chapters in one)
After Nansha Zhi married and retired, he did not put everything related to idols into a box like Yamaguchi Momoe did, and after adding three locks, he sank to the bottom of the sea again, just to make a thorough farewell.

When I was bored with children, I played a little bit as a lyricist, and I didn't deliberately avoid the idol career. Relatively speaking, the relationship with the entertainment industry is not so clear.

After retiring, CBS Sony took care of various copyright matters during her idol days. A while ago, Nan Saori received a call from the staff in charge of her retirement, telling her that a new idol planned to cover her debut song " 17 years old".

She didn't pay much attention to it. To put it bluntly, the staff's call was just telling her what had happened. Although it involved a re-adaptation, it was the songwriter of the song who really wanted to ask for permission.

For Nan Saori, it is not something that needs to be taken seriously if one of his songs is now covered by an unknown rookie idol.

Later, Chisato Moritaka's single was released. Out of courtesy, Warner Pioneer also sent the finished product of this single to Minami Saori, lyricist Arima Sankeiko, and composer Tsutsumi Kyohei through CBS Sony.

After Nan Shazhi received the single, she tried it out, and the song was adapted into a popular genre, without any trace of the past.

At first hearing such a strange "17 Years Old", Nan Saori was a little hard to accept, and really felt that his past idol career was covered by the new era.

However, such a strange "17 years old" is at the same time a familiar "17 years old". The feeling of the times.

It turns out that my old songs can still collide with the current popular ones to produce such sparks?

Nan Saori doesn't really like Chisato Moritaka's cover, but it cannot be denied that it is a unique cover.

After listening to it, Nan Sazhi put the single away.

As a result, after a while, this cover song "17 Years Old" suddenly became a hot topic, and even the staff in charge of CBS Sony called her to tell her that because of the enthusiastic response to Chisato Moritaka's cover song, even the song sung by Nansha Orihara The version also gained attention again, and the company also received a petition requesting a reprint of her "17 Years Old".

"From the current situation, Chisato Moritaka's cover song will definitely become popular and become a trend that cannot be underestimated. Therefore, the company is also counting record stores and feedback from listeners, and considering reprinting your "17 Years Old" about it.” CBS Sony staff reported to Nansha Zhihui.

Nan Saori was surprised when he heard the news.

Not only did the staff feed back such news to her, but the eldest son, who was already a primary school student, came home one day and told her that he had heard his mother's previous songs on the school radio.

Unexpectedly, ten years after she retired, a cover song brought her old songs into popularity.The old things bloom beautifully in the new era.

Coming from the era of Da Hong's original idol, he was once a star sought after by people all over the country. Nan Sazhi has seen many big scenes.However, the attention she has brought to her through a cover song now makes her particularly moved, even surpassing the kind of limelight that was once paid attention to by the whole country when she was a girl.

Through this cover song, the audience turned their attention to her debut song again.The audience will recall that she also had a 17-year-old time.

I also had a time when I was 17... When Nan Shazhi thought of this incident, tears welled up in his eyes.

For Nan Sazhi, who is already a mother of three children and has become a housewife in middle age, this cannot but move her. With the popularity of old songs, the memory of the audience is revived, and her youth seems to be coming to an end. followed by recovery.

Becoming an idol and leaving her works preserved her youth forever.

Because of this thought, after her husband Xiaoshan Jixin came home, she showed him this single.When I first received it, I only listened to it once, and put this single aside.

When introducing this single to Xiaoshan Jixin, Nan Saori said to him, "Now I can more appreciate the preciousness of the photographer's job. It will freeze the beautiful things forever, so that the 'beauty' will never disappear. , is an amazing job.”

It is rare for his wife to express his opinion on the work of Xiaoshan Jixin. Xiaoshan Jixin was very surprised to hear such words from her mouth suddenly, but anyway, even a first-class photographer can be recognized by his wife for his work. A delight.

Then, Xiaoshan Jixin knew that his wife's emotion was not for no reason, but came from a single that sang her famous song.

After ten years of retirement and becoming a mother of three children, she still felt the shadow of youth. Nan Saori felt that she seemed to have become younger again. Even Xiaoshan Jixin felt incredible in seeing the girlish demeanor. .

Even in middle age, the part of Nan Saori that belongs to a girl has not really been obliterated.

Realizing this, Sasayama Kishin felt proud.Cynthia, who used to come from the southern country, after marrying him, her married life with him has not lost the shadow of her girlhood, which is undoubtedly a kind of affirmation to him.

In fact, Nan Shazhi's youth has always been there, but it just fell into a deep sleep, rather than "disappearing".And now, this cover single undoubtedly arouses dreams and shadows about youth.

Saori Minami thanked the person who made this single from the bottom of her heart, and wanted to write a letter to the producer of the single and Chisato Moritaka who sang the song.

Before writing a letter, she must first confirm who the recipient of the letter is. She found the words "Producer: Shinichi Iwahashi" on the album cover, and called the CBS Sony staff to confirm that it was Warner Pioneer outsourcing to A single produced by GENZO.

"Iwahashi Shinichi-san..."

Nan Saori wrote this name on the letter paper, and Xiaoshan Jixin also knew it.

The surname Yanqiao is not very common. Today I came to shoot the cover of this band, and the members of the band have the surname Yanqiao.Xiaoshan Jixin thought it was a coincidence that his surname was Yanqiao, and he was also a musician, but he didn't say anything.

After a while, the break was over, and the staff came to call them.Yanqiao Shenyi picked up the headgear and was about to put it on his head again, Mihe-chan smiled beside him and said, "Shenyi-kun, thank you for your hard work~"

The giraffe man, who lost his feelings as soon as he put on the hood, ignored her.

Shinichi-kun?
In that case, this person should be called "Iwahashi Shinichi".Xiaoshan Jixin looked at it curiously, could it be that there is such a coincidence of the same name?Or is this Iwahashi Shinichi the same Iwahashi Shinichi?

Miwa-chan acted as if no one was around, and stretched out her hand to adjust the headgear for Iwahashi Shinichi. Masato Nakamura stood behind the two of them, with his hands on his hips, and looked at them with a smile on his face.

Such a picture looks so harmonious.

With a thought, Xiaoshan raised his camera and fixed the scene.

……

A few days later, when Shinichi Iwahashi returned to Kawasaki's office, he found a strange letter among the stack of letters sent by the clerk.

"Iwahashi-san, thank you for choosing this song and giving it a new color. I sincerely look forward to more excellent works from you in the future."

Such a thank you letter was signed by Nan Shazhi.

The letter was not sent by Nan Saori herself, but she wrote it and handed it to the staff of CBS Sony, and then sent it to GENZO through CBS Sony.

The top idol of the previous generation personally wrote him a thank-you letter. While Shinichi Iwahashi was surprised, he also realized how hot Chisato Moritaka's single is now.

Otherwise, this letter would not have been written before, but just now.

Famous singers, their famous songs are covered every year, but few are worthy of the owner's attention.It is undoubtedly a kind of affirmation to receive a thank-you letter from Nan Saori himself, whether it is from the quality of the song itself or the enthusiasm brought by the song.

The next day, Shinichi Iwahashi went to Warner Pioneer to participate in the song selection meeting for Chisato Moritaka's next single.Moritaka Chisato himself was also present at this song selection meeting, and he followed Iwahashi Shinichi's previous instructions and brought the lyrics she had filled out.

The route for the next single has already been set, and the style of music is still European dance style. After finally gaining attention through the adaptation of "17 Years Old", a rash transformation will only lead to failure.

Again, knocking out bricks one by one and replacing them is better than knocking down a wall in one go.

At the song selection meeting, the lyrics filled in by Chisato Moritaka were also placed on the conference table and included in the scope of discussion.Compared with when Shinichi Iwahashi took over, Chisato Moritaka has made significant progress in writing lyrics.

After confirming the sales method of giving up the strength faction and adding points from scratch, Chisato Moritaka's mentality was also calmed down, leaving room for self-examination.

Compared with the eagerness to show off the lyrics to be recognized at the beginning, the lyrics that Chisato Moritaka writes now seem much calmer.

Compared with how to "show herself", she began to pay more attention to thinking about what she wanted to express and the theme she wanted to describe. Although she was still immature, she already had the consciousness to build her own worldview of lyrics.

This is undoubtedly a good sign. Similarly, Chisato Moritaka's talent as a lyricist is also obvious after being able to realize his own problems after being instructed and correct them for the better.

Several lyrics were read by the people at Pioneer Warner, and they also felt that there was something remarkable about them.It's certainly not good enough to be the title track of a new single, but it's not bad if it's a C/W song or an album song.

The song selection meeting ended, and out of the conference room, Chisato Moritaka and his manager waited to say hello to Shinichi Iwahashi.Kawashima seems to be in the same way no matter what, "Iwahashi-san, Moriko will be counting on you from now on."

Being a manager is such a job that needs to keep bowing his head and saying good things. Shinichi Iwahashi is also a manager himself, and he is used to it. He greeted Kawashima politely, and then he set his sights on the expectant Chisato Moritaka. .

Her expression almost had "I want to tell you something" written all over her face.

"Yanqiao-san."

Moritaka Chisato finally got the chance to speak, "I received a letter from Nansa Zhisang himself."

"is it?"

"Nansha Zhisang said that he likes the version I sang very much, and even cheered for me. He is really a gentle star." Chisato Moritaka was flattered and satisfied with the encouragement from the master.

Nan Saori also really cares about writing letters to the producer and the singer respectively.But now, no matter who's affirmation, it's like icing on the cake, because the hot sales have already proved everything.

In the new week, the sales of records were counted. At the same time, whether it was Warner Pioneer or Chisato Moritaka's office, they were all reporting the same thing.

"...The next thing is the sales status of Moritaka Chisato's single "17 Years Old". " Moritaka Chisato's direct manager said.

Kenichi Yamauchi is still sitting here today, waiting to hear the sales of Chisato Moritaka's single.Ever since he was assigned the task of contacting Yoshiichiro Kawahata, he has been particularly concerned about the sales of this single.

And as the performance of the single got better and better, Kenichi Yamauchi's concern changed from "whether my efforts were in vain" to "I want to see how far this single can go".

"A total of 10 copies of CDs, LPs, and cassettes were sold. Once again, she refreshed her best record since her debut and won the eighth place in the ranking list. It is also the first time she has entered the TOP[-] since her debut."

Breaking into TOP10 for the first time, this is really exciting news!

And the report with the meaning of victory continued, "...on the cable broadcasting side, the number of on-demand singles of Sen Gaosan won the fifth place on the on-demand list, and he is the singer who has jumped the fastest recently."

There is nothing more refreshing than sitting on the sidelines and listening to the good news, Yamauchi thought.

It took a little more than half a year from being a street idol to breaking into the TOP10, which is not a long time.

After the transformation, the three singles will be carried out step by step. First, the transformation will be carried out through the first two, and then the cover of famous songs will be used as a signature to gain fame.

Although Yamauchi Kenichi had never met Iwahashi Shinichi, and did not know the background of this producer, but because of this beautiful transformation plan, he had an unknown trust in him.

The source of this trust may also have something to do with the fact that Moritaka Chisato is reporting the remarkable achievements at the moment, like when on a blind date, he already has a good impression of the other party, but there is a matchmaker who always speaks well of the other party.

Water can cook porridge and push a boat.

The small boat slowly floated over, and floated in front of Kenichi Yamauchi.

Listening to the report, Yamauchi Kenichi thought to himself that this Iwahashi-san seems to have a knack for making idols.Right now, the company is preparing to promote the newcomer who has been directly under his subordinates. Can you consider asking this Yanqiao-san to be the producer?
Although his reputation is not as good as those well-known big-name producers, his methods are very beautiful and he has his own ideas.

This idea popped up in Yamauchi Kenichi's mind, so the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was necessary to at least talk to this Yanqiao-san and listen to his thoughts.
