Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 390. Chapter 390.
Before the production of the song started, the office first changed the choreographers for the two girls, and added two costume designers, and a group of people followed them when they came in and out. This configuration is comparable to first-line idols.

Having enjoyed the treatment of a first-line idol in advance, there is no choice but to work hard to rush into the front line.

Although the production right has passed to Shinichi Iwahashi, but this time, GENZO's investment is not large, unlike Chisato Moritaka's time, he had to work hard to select songs and find a lyricist.

The two girls made their debut plan as "WINK and Huagumi" at the beginning, and the title songs of the next two singles will also be cover songs. The songs are directly selected from the popular Western dance songs prepared by the record company. At most, they can participate in it Selection.

Since it is the "Hehua Group", one of the important steps is to replace the original foreign language lyrics with Japanese. The lyricist who is responsible for rewriting the lyrics, the record company has already signed with the lyricist and Chuan Mianzi when preparing for the debut of the group. about.

Oikawa Mianko made her debut as a lyricist through the audition held by Mitsubishi in 1985. Her qualifications in the industry are not deep. The main scope of work is writing lyrics for animation songs, and her reputation outside the animation industry is very small.

Being a lyricist is actually not her original intention. Her initial dream was to become a singer-songwriter, but on the way to learn musical instruments, she couldn't even press the basic F button well. Close the front of the chord.

I can't be a singer-songwriter, so I have to settle for the next best thing, change my dream to an ordinary singer, and then find that my intonation is poor, I can't become a great singer, but I may challenge the out-of-tune devil, and my singer's dream is shattered in front of the reality of a sound addict .

I can't be a singer, so I have no choice but to change my goal and decide to become a lyricist.

Repeated battles and defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles, relying on part-time jobs to make ends meet, changed a dozen jobs in a row, and finally made his debut as he wished, and lived a life of relying on music work for a living. Not too full.

This resume is a bit funny, but there is also a bit of bitterness in the funny, and there is also a little cunning in the bitterness.Yanqiao Shinichi had never met Oi Chuan Mianzi, but just got a general understanding of her resume from the people in the record company.After reading the resume, I just feel "funny".

When writing new lyrics for foreign language dance music, I don’t pay much attention to the deep meaning of the lyrics. The song itself is the key point. The lyrics only need to be catchy and fit the style of the original song, so there is no need to find famous artists.

POLYSTAR will use Jichuan Mianzi, who seems a bit unreliable, and the biggest reason is that she is cost-effective.

Even so, at the very beginning, the record company was thinking about how to save money, but because of Iwahashi Shinichi's participation, the money saved before was doubled, making the production of WINK soaring.

Of course, it was not so easy for Shinichi Iwahashi to be a producer.Although the work of selecting songs is not so cumbersome, when it is officially recorded, the arrangement must be made by GENZO, and how the two girls will sing and re-interpret, these must also be arranged by Iwahashi Shinichi.

As a producer, you need to have a good eye and a fashionable ear, not just to finish singing.

……

Taking Nagoya as the first stop of the DREAMS COME TRUE tour performance, after the performance, in the new week, the feedback indicators, the band's local sales, and the radio's on-demand volume all ushered in an increase, which is a good start .

After Nagoya are Kobe and Kyoto. From Friday night to Sunday night, there are a total of eight performances in the two places, which are still small venues.

Yanqiao Shen met and communicated with the two girls from WINK on Friday morning, and then set off from Kanto to Kansai in the afternoon, with a seamless connection between work and work.

The eight games in Kobe and Kyoto are similar to the situation in Nagoya, and the initial tickets will not worry about selling.There is a signboard of the band Paradise Champion here, and the locals all have the idea of ​​trying the newly opened chain snack bar with cheap and big bowls.

There is only one way to keep the lively audience and turn them into your own audience, and that is to present a performance that satisfies them.

In terms of live performances, the ability of DREAMS COME TRUE is needless to say.Watching with their own eyes and listening to it with their own ears, the audience who came to taste a certain signature dish suddenly found that no matter which dish was delicious in the store.

If it tastes good, there will be repeat customers, and there will be spontaneous promotion.Because of this, after the first performance ended, and after seeing the strength of the band, the next tickets were not only easy to sell, but also very popular.

In this sought-after situation, there are even temporary price increases and resale of tickets.

And whenever they arrive at a place and set off a scene of upsurge, when they leave and leave the audience with unextinguished fire, there are various ways to bring these little sparks to the audience. Many places to go.

The spark ignites the spark, and then becomes a small flame.Group after group of small flames, the band that has set off and left cannot see, but they can feel the temperature of the flames in another way, and see the rising smoke——

Whether the effect is good or bad, it will be reflected in the various data obtained by the record company and the firm afterwards.

……

A single spark illuminates the band's way forward.

The sales trend of the album is stable but rising vigorously. Waiting for the new week, the calculated album sales have sold 14 copies more than the previous week, and they have won No.[-] on the album list. This is the band's debut album The best result after the release, it is conceivable that this number will rise again when the publicity starts.

Selling an album is a long-term job. The key is whether there is any energy. If there is enough energy, the momentum will rise. In this way, even if it does not reflect the kind of explosive heat, it is enough to make people from all walks of life feel excited. feel at ease.

In addition to the album, the debut single "So Happy!"so happy!Really like! ", with the publicity, the sales have been rising all the way. By the new week, a total of more than 5 copies have been sold. If CBS and Sony had not prepared 15 copies in advance, they would now face a situation of out of stock. up.

The sales of real money made the band's debut single get the No.11 ranking on this song's list.If it weren't for the fact that several popular singers released singles this week, it would definitely be in the top ten.

The ranking of eleventh place always feels a little bit short of breath.

After receiving the sales data, not only Shinichi Iwahashi thought so, but also the people in the company.But the ranking of eleventh place, under a certain special calculation method, can sometimes bring about a small miracle of reversal.

"Appearing in "THE BEST TEN"?"

In U-MIZ's office, the three members of the band seemed a little surprised when they heard the news.

Since the band's official debut, they have been on a limited number of bands, and suddenly received an invitation from the current top band "THE BEST TEN", especially the band's single ranking is still No. 11, so I received such an invitation , not only unexpectedly, but even a little bit inexplicable.

"Isn't it eleven?" Meihechan asked directly.

Shinji Kurishima, who is in charge of managing the brokerage affairs of the three, explained: "If you only look at the sales performance, you will definitely not be able to get in. However, if you combine other data, you will not only be able to get in, but it will be more than enough."

"THE BEST TEN", which will combine various data of radio on-demand and audience letters, if the rankings other than record sales are strong enough, such a reversal may occur.

I don't know if this "reversal" can be said to be one of the highlights of the show.However, it will definitely be a great opportunity for a "reversed" singer.

"Although the single's sales chart is eleventh, but," Shinji Kurishima said, ""I'm so happy! I'm so happy! I like it so much!" This song performed very well on cable broadcasts and on-demand radio stations. On-demand is No.6, and the ranking on the cable broadcast chart is No.3, overwhelming the new songs of popular singers."

Once these two lists are combined, it's still not enough, at least in "THE BEST TEN", it's brought up.

And as long as this tone can be mentioned in the top-level music program "THE BEST TEN", are you still worried that you won't be able to mention the tone on the sales list?

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Shinji Kurishima emphasized, "It must be seized."

……

On Thursday, DREAMS COME TRUE, who was going to participate in the first performance of "THE BEST TEN" since his debut, the rehearsal location was not the studio of the TV station, but the top floor of the TV station.

For their debut tonight, they're going to sing their own songs here.The reason why such a location was chosen was because of Wanyumi Watanabe.

For this program, the luxurious background stage is standard. However, the stage when the singer himself performs is different. Not every TV station prepares a luxurious stage for every singer who enters "THE BEST TEN" .

The luxurious scenery of the singer's performance is actually contributed by many parties. On the one hand, the TV station is willing to spend money, and on the other hand, the singer himself is worthy of a large-scale stage decoration-that is, enough to be popular.

If it is not the kind of regular star who can let the program group help burn money, then you need to have a rich office, which has nothing to do with the record company.

The strength of the firm is also reflected in the setting of the singer's participation in the Yinfan. If the singer's stage is luxurious enough, then the firm behind him is not an unknown person.

DREAMS COME TRUE participated in "THE BEST TEN" for the first time. On the one hand, Wanyumi Watanabe wanted to make the band famous, and on the other hand, she also wanted to show the strength of the firm. People from the office went to discuss with the production team, planning to make an impressive debut.

With the face of Watanabe's production, and U-MIZ paying for it out of pocket, the production team also readily accepted this proposal.

However, what kind of stage to prepare is not simply piled up with money.Wanyumi Watanabe, who has first-class aesthetics, doesn't think much of the magnificent stage layout.

"Besides," she thought clearly, "it's the most important thing for the audience to remember their debut. If the stage is too exaggerated and attracts the audience's attention, it will ignore the performance itself."

It is necessary to impress the audience, but not let the scenery take the main role and steal the attention of the audience. It is necessary to find a balance between them.

Watanabe Wanyumi considered it for a while, and finally proposed the way to appear outdoors.

On the top floor of the TV station, I sang with my back against the lights of Wanjia lights in the city that never sleeps in Tokyo.Not only that, outdoor singing has high requirements on the technology of live radio and the performance ability of the band. If you don't pay attention, it will be the scene of a car accident.

Choosing to perform in such a place is exaggerated enough, and the difficulty has also increased a lot.

When mentioning "THE BEST TEN", what came to Iwahashi Shinichi's mind was the exaggerated glass door. He originally thought that he could go there and experience it.In the end, because of Wanyumi Watanabe's thoughts, he lost this chance to have fun.

There is no way, in order to be able to go for a while, I can only continue to work hard and strive for the next opportunity to appear on "THE BEST TEN".

Today's me you love to answer and ignore, tomorrow's me you can't afford (what?)

……

Even so, in front of every glass door that Mengxin dreams of leaving, there is a Taopusida who is about to leave.

Today, Akina Nakamori came to "THE BEST TEN" to play songs for her single "TATTOO".

It’s completely different from DREAMS COME TRUE, who avoided super-luxury stages as much as possible because of the lack of popularity when they just debuted. No one will know Taopu Star, and this first song has already firmly occupied the No.1 throne. After singing more times, in order to increase the audience's enjoyment, we should pay more attention to the luxurious and impactful stage.

She is liked by "THE BEST TEN", is also Taopu Star, and the firm she belongs to is still backed by a consortium that has never been short of money. Adding up the three aspects, she is the most luxurious stage tonight.

Before the rehearsal, she looked at the program list, and saw that No.8 was DREAMS COME TRUE, and she had a kind of "really amazing~" thought.

Before, as an audience, she watched DREAMS COME TRUE's performance in the band Paradise. Not only that, but the band also defeated BANILA, which she supported at the beginning.

Having seen that kind of super strength, I am not surprised that they can appear in "THE BEST TEN".

However, the rehearsal location for DREAMS COME TRUE is not here, and I haven't seen them from the beginning to the end during the rehearsal.

At [-]:[-] p.m. on Thursday night, the program officially begins.

After the opening remarks, the host announced this week's rankings starting from No.10 as usual.

……

"Next is No.8..."

The information on the flip board rotated rapidly and finally stopped.

"It's "So Happy! So Happy! I Love It!" by DREAMS COME TRUE."

After announcing the title of the song, Hei Liu Chezi said, "I like the title of the song very much. Just reading it like this makes me feel at ease. Happiness, happiness and liking are three very precious elements. So, let's see Look at a band that combines these three elements..."

At the same time, the figure of DREAMS COME TRUE on the top floor of the TV station appeared on the screen of the studio.

"good evening--"

The three members of the band who were ready stood there, led by Yumi and sauce, and greeted Kuroyanagi Tetsuko and the audience in front of the TV.
