Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 434
A few days after the interview, the record company got in touch with Xingchen Office, hoping to allow Sachiko Kamachi to participate in an audition for the band.

This invitation is almost showing to the other side that GenZo has fallen in love with Sachiko Puchi.

The Star Office sent out these eleven "cheap lottery tickets", but unexpectedly won one, and immediately coordinated with the record company about Sachiko Kabochi's participation in the audition.

The time was set at three o'clock in the afternoon on Thursday, and the location was the rehearsal room of the record company.

The process of co-performance is that Sachiko Kamachi sings two original songs of ABNORMAL, and then ABNORMAL accompanies Sachiko Kamaike and asks Sachiko Kamaike to sing two songs of other singers she likes.

When the audition meeting was finalized, the record company sent the score and audition of the two original songs of ABNORMAL to the Star Office to let Sachiko Kamachi familiarize herself with the music in advance.

By the way, the audition tape was sung by Akamatsu Haruko.

As the only official female employee of the production company, Bole who brought Sachiko Kamachi to Shinichi Iwahashi, the former lead singer who is very familiar with ABNORMAL's songs...

In short, there is no one but her for this task.

Similarly, Sachiko Kamachi also handed over the names of the songs of other singers to be sung to the record company. After the band got the songs, they first re-arranged and practiced.

……

There are only three days before Thursday arrives. After getting the audition tape and score from the agent, Kabuchi Sachiko has to practice these two songs well in these three days.

Because the modeling work has been going on without interruption, there is not much time that really belongs to her, and she can only go to the side to memorize the lyrics and melody when she is free and resting.

There are no secrets among the young models, and besides, this is not something to keep secret.On the night when Sachiko Puchi got the sheet music, she was picked up to be the lead singer of the band, and it began to circulate among the young models.

For this matter, most of the young models hold a spectatorial attitude.

For them, Sachiko Kamachi is going to an unknown record company, join a band they have never heard of, be their lead singer, and pretend to be cool on stage every day.

For such a job, it is better for them to be models, to show themselves in front of the camera, to be a butterfly traveling in the colorful world, which is more fun and exciting.

Only Keiko Utoku felt a sense of loss after learning that the record company had booked Sachiko Kamagai.

Utoku Keiko, who is the same age as Sachiko Uchi, also understands the truth, that is, as the age grows, opportunities will gradually decrease, not more and more.

Passing by an opportunity means that there is one less opportunity.

……

On Thursday afternoon, the band members headed to the rehearsal room first.After coming over, start debugging instruments in advance and conduct ensemble rehearsals.

Since the beginning of this year, Tomohisa Kawasoe and Masahiro Koyanagi went on tour separately, and Tatsuya Hirakawa stayed in the recording studio to help out. , get together again.

In the past few days, I have been intensively arranging music in the recording studio. This kind of busy state has brought back the tacit understanding between the three of them, as well as the comradeship of fighting side by side.

After coming here today, they also immediately made preparations in their positions.

Neither Tomohisa Kawasoe nor Masao Koyanagi have ever met the new lead singer, and they have only heard her audition tape, so they have a vague impression of her.

However, as far as Sachiko Puchi's performance in the audition tape is concerned, the two are quite satisfied with the new lead singer who has never met before.

Masahiro Koyanagi also said that he was always a kind person, no matter Haruko Akamatsu or Sachiko Kaminochi, as long as Tatsuya Hirakawa liked him, he would accept him gently.

However, for Tomohisa Kawasoe, who once gave birth to leaving the band, he was willing to give up the idea of ​​quitting, and now he appeared in the rehearsal room, which can already explain his attitude.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi never had contact with Tomohisa Kawasoe from beginning to end, but through Tatsuya Hirakawa's practice of reassuring him, not only did he pull out the seed of Tomohisa Kawasoe's resignation as soon as it sprouted, but also kept him. Take it easy and stay decent.

……

Five minutes to three, the door of the rehearsal room was pushed open.

Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe came in first. After a few words of pleasantries, Shinichi Iwahashi stepped aside and said to the door, "Kuichi-san, please come in."

Sachiko Puchi responded and walked into the rehearsal room.

Yanqiao Shen introduced the three musicians to her one by one, and the two sides greeted each other.Except for Sachiko Puchi and Tatsuya Hirakawa who had met once, it was the first time for both parties to meet each other.Even if they want to become colleagues in the future, they are very polite and unfamiliar now.

After the brief greetings were over, Shinichi Iwahashi went straight to the point, "Let's start now."

He was in charge of directing and coordinating the entire audition process, Tatsuya Hirakawa was in charge of communicating with his teammates and Sachiko Kamaike, and Mayumi Watanabe was on the sidelines, waiting to see the effect of the band's co-performance.

In addition to her as a spectator, there are also staff from the record company setting up a video camera, preparing to record the next audition.

In addition to keeping this record on file with the record company, a copy must also be sent to the Star Office.

……

The audition went fairly smoothly, although when singing the second song, Sachiko Kamachi was a little out of tune, so she stopped and started again, but overall, as the first co-performance, this performance was very good.

The three musicians in the band are also quite satisfied with the new lead singer.Hirakawa Tatsu also recognized her a long time ago, and the good old man Changfa Koyanagi felt that the new lead singer was good this time.

It was Kawasoe Tomohisa who had an idea in his heart.

This time, it's signing a brokerage contract and a record deal again, so there shouldn't be any resignation from the team, right?
Thinking of this, Tomohisa Kawasoe subconsciously glanced at Shinichi Iwahashi who was talking to Sachiko Kamaike over there.I thought, for this new lead singer, Iwashi-san even set up a record company, he should never allow that to happen.

With Iwabashi-san around, there is no problem.

Unknowingly, Kawasoe Tomohisa had such an impression of Iwahashi Shinichi in his mind.

Although I respected him before, it didn't reach the point of unconditional trust.Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it was when he found out that he had established a record company that he was convinced that there was no one more trustworthy than him.

After all, because they couldn't get a brokerage contract, they simply set up a record company. There are not many people who can do this.

This Yanqiao-san is really too rock and roll.

……

"You performed very well just now, Kamaike-san." On the other side, Iwahashi Shinichi was communicating with Kamaike Sachiko.

Received the compliment, Kamaike Sachiko showed a humble expression.

"By the way," Yanqiao Shinichi asked, "What's your impression of the three co-starring musicians?"

Sachiko Puchi thought for a while before answering him: "Those three perform at a very good level. Just now, I felt like I was dragging the band back."

"However, if you think about it differently, when you just joined the band and have no experience, performing with experienced musicians is just a bit of a hindrance, which is already beyond imagination." Iwahashi Shinichi told her.

Iwahashi Shinichi's words were very gentle, Kamaike Sachiko received the hint of encouragement, and replied: "I will practice very hard, Iwahashi-san."

The way she made the promise was really like a top student in school.

Yanqiao Shenyi smiled, "Practice hard is a must, but there is one thing, don't work hard in private. Whether it's singing or anything else, it's all about science. Blind practice will lead to problems."

In the long run, in order to make a singer's career longer, scientific voices must be grasped from the very beginning.

"However, put those aside first..."

Shinichi Iwahashi changed the subject, and told Sachiko Kawachi to follow him, and walked to the three members of the band.

"The audition just now was pretty good." Shin Iwashi praised the band again.

After boasting about the band, let's get down to business.

"Next, this side will work with Xingchen Office to finalize the band. At that time, Pu Chisang will officially become a member of the band."

Shinichi Iwahashi said, "At that time, the management appointments of the three of you will also be placed in Star Office, and the recording appointments will stay with GenZo."

Once the record company was established, for Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe, as long as the record was in their hands, they would not suffer.

Not only that, but after letting out the brokerage appointment, he became an artist affiliated to a certain firm. In order to make money, the firm will also provide promotional help, which is mutually beneficial with the record company.

When he and Watanabe Wanyumi were on three legs, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet to hook up with other firms.Now that the rope is untied and a common record company is established, we can safely and boldly put our eggs in different baskets.

Of course, the reason why he dared to put his eggs in different baskets is also related to his strength and confidence now.

"Before signing a contract to debut, there is something I want you four to think about."

Iwahashi Shinichi asked them to give up the name ABNORMAL and rename the band.

Shen Yanqiao had the idea of ​​changing the name of the band early on, but firstly, the band was in a state of suspension before it was difficult to speak up, and secondly, it was not yet the time, so it is just right to propose it now.

When he mentioned this incident, the reactions of the three musicians all looked like "should be changed".

"It's good to change the name again." Tomohisa Kawasoe said, "ABNORMAL is too unlucky."

What he meant was obviously that the band's first lead singer ran away home, and the second lead singer suddenly decided to go behind the scenes, and the band was almost dragged to disband on the spot.

Tatsuya Hirakawa and Masahiro Koyanagi, when they heard Tomohisa Kawazoe's words, one showed helplessness, and the other secretly suppressed a smile.

When Sachiko Kawachi thought of Haruko Akamatsu, what Tomohisa Kawasoe said made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Iwahashi Shinichi ignored this meaning and continued to explain, "Since we are going to be a band with female lead singers, and the market positioning is POPROCK, the name of the band should be more catchy and easy to accept."

A band with a name like ABNORMAL doesn't seem to be able to release songs that ordinary people can sing in karaoke.

"Anyway, me, and the four of you," Iwahashi Shin, including Sachiko Kamagike, "let's think of a suitable band name together, as long as you have a good idea, you can come and tell me. Of course, it's best It was decided before the formal signing."

The four members of the band—including Sachiko Kuchi, all agreed.

Before officially joining the band, give her the task of renaming the band.Iwahashi Shinichi left the matter of renaming until now, just to give the newly joined lead singer a sense of participation.

Regardless of whether the lead singer is Sachiko Kawachi or someone else, leaving this step aside is just waiting to go now.

Thinking of a new name for the band together is also the first "collective creation" among the four members of the band.

After the audition, Sachiko Kamachi was about to say goodbye.

She didn't come here by herself today, the Xingchen Office also sent someone to follow.Ordinarily, a small model is not eligible to have a separate agent, but this time is an exception.

After all, Xingchen Office is also curious about this project.

At this time, the band members began to pack their things.

Tatsuya Hirakawa put the guitar in the case, and Shinichi Iwahashi saw his guitar, and suddenly asked, "San Hirakawa, what model guitar do you use?"

"What?" Hirakawa Tatsu was also taken aback.

I can't guess why Shinichi Iwahashi asked this question, so I can only answer him first, "Gibson's Les Paul is just a low-end model."

"Even so, it sounds expensive." Yanqiao Shinichi said.

expensive guitar.When I went to see the performance of ORIGINAL LOVE before, Takao Tajima used an expensive Gibson.In fact, this is easy to understand. Musicians naturally pursue good instruments and instruments that are at hand.

"Is there a question?" Tatsuya Hirakawa asked him.

Yanqiao Shinichi shook his head, "It's not a problem. I'm a keyboard player. For me, I naturally prefer good instruments."

Of course, if you want to use a musical instrument well, you have to spend more money to buy it.

"I just thought about a problem."

When he saw the expensive guitar in Takao Tajima's hand, Shinichi Iwahashi began to think about this question.Today, when I saw Tatsuya Hirakawa's guitar, this idea came up again.

"I was thinking that an expensive guitar, for teenagers and freelancers with little income, is something that is dreamed of but out of reach."

"So, I have an idea." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "It doesn't matter when recording in the studio. In the future, when the band performs live or participates in TV performances, Hirakawa-san and Kawasue-san will also try to use domestically produced Affordable instruments."

This suggestion from Yanqiao Shinichi made everyone in the band a little confused.

Not allowed to use expensive instruments?
Noticing their reactions, Yanqiao Shinichi smiled, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not telling you not to use expensive instruments, as long as you occasionally use cheap instruments and use a certain model of cheap instruments."

"In this way, if there are teenagers or freelancers with little income who want to imitate your band, they can afford the same style as yours." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
