Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 484
On the 25th, GenZo was the host and entertained people from TBS TV station.

Today's reception is over, and all the TV stations we have cooperated with this year have been arranged.As usual, Shinichi Iwahashi acted with Wanyumi Watanabe, but this time, according to the previous agreement, his brother-in-law Narita Hiroyuki also came to participate.

The appearance of Dentsu MAN in such an occasion is not only unnecessary, but also quite popular with TV people.

In particular, TBS TV itself has a close relationship with Dentsu, and Hiroyuki Narita is a very popular person in the social arena.

Shinichi Iwahashi is on the way up. Since Hiroyuki Narita wants to help, he simply helps to the end. He has finished advertising before, and now he is also here to help support the scene.

He was introduced to people from the TV station, TBS TV station, who knew that Shinichi Iwahashi had a brother-in-law at Dentsu, and when looking at him, things to consider would increase accordingly.

This place in the entertainment world is not only a place where humble people gather together, but also a place where related households gather together.

For example, the producer of TBS TV's ace program "THE BEST TEN" is the nephew of the president of Dentsu.

It's not without reason that the show can make such a comprehensive list without fear of offending people.

Compared with Watanabe Productions behind Wanyumi Watanabe, it is not enough to say that Shinichi Iwahashi is a related household, and he has to rely mainly on himself.But something is better than nothing.

Besides, not only he is in the upward stage, but Hiroyuki Narita is the same, his life is upward and his future is boundless.

Narita Hiroyuki is investing in Iwahashi Shinichi, and Iwahashi Shinichi is investing in this brother-in-law.

Regarding this point, both brother-in-law and brother-in-law are well aware of each other.Everyone is so frank, and things are easy to discuss.

In the entertainment world, Shinichi Iwahashi's main job is a record company's producer, and he secretly plays the role of the band's giraffe mascot.

In the TV industry, Shinichi Iwahashi has also attracted attention with another identity: he participated in the production of two variety shows with high ratings.

TBS TV let go of "Band Paradise", seeing that this show has grown into a national-level variety show under TV Asahi, and it was on the list of variety show ratings at the end of the year.

Then, the Fuji TV variety show that Shinichi Iwahashi participated in also achieved success this year.

Those who came to the reception today were also the cadres of the second production department of TBS TV station in charge of variety shows.Compared with other people, he is more enthusiastic towards Yanqiao Shinichi, not just out of courtesy.

Variety artists in the TV industry, although they would not regard Iwahashi Shinichi as a future variety show master - he is still a music producer.

However, one must think that he has a certain talent in producing variety shows.

Two variety shows with high ratings are not too many.

However, a person who takes two shots and succeeds both times deserves to be looked at differently by others.

The cadres of the second production department are enthusiastic about Yanqiao Shinichi, not on a whim, but on their own considerations.

Under the self-restraint order, the advertisements and programs of TV stations are greatly affected. Now it is "restricted entertainment".

Furthermore, the old year number ends and the new year number begins, and the probability that the TV station will take this opportunity to adjust the existing programs is quite high.

At that time, one more person who collects ideas will have more power to continue to lead Minfang after the new year begins.

For the TV industry, it is better to rely on fifty ideas from ten smart people than rely on one genius.

……

Also on the 25th, there was a lively party on one side, and on the other side, Akina Nakamori went home at night and received a package from Shinichi Iwahashi.

Open it to see, inside is the new album of DREAMS COME TRUE.

Exactly a week has passed since I called him last time to inquire about the song and received the record today.

The "after" that Yanqiao Shenyi said on the phone came neither too late nor too early.

However, during this week, the popularity of this song, which was hyped up by the radio station, rose again, to the point where people on the TV station were talking about it even when they went to participate in the program.

The reason why it became a topic in the industry is undoubtedly because the momentum of the song is getting better and better.It was the first time the song had won the title on the radio on-demand list.Not only that, according to the current momentum, two consecutive championships and three consecutive championships are very likely.

The data is performing well and deserves attention.

However, such a song with a duration of seven and a half minutes can perform so well on the radio data, which is the biggest reason why people in the industry pay attention.

There are many champion singles, but there are not many champion singles whose length is equal to two.

A song that broke through the mainstream rule of "three to five minutes" on commercial radio and became a champion single, and it can still succeed under such difficulty, the probability of becoming a hit is quite high.

People in the industry are amazed that a non-mainstream song has achieved good results, but they also want to study the magic power of this song to achieve this.

After hearing this song on the radio, Akina Nakamori also had many thoughts.

Now, when the package arrives, the shopping street kid is eager to write down her thoughts on the song.

However, upon opening it, what was sent this time was not the expected new single, but a new album.

The band didn't release a single this time?
Akina Nakamori opened the album, took out the accompanying lyrics book and looked through it, and found this song "Future Vision II", which is the last song in the album.

If it is a vinyl turntable, the audience will probably find it difficult.

However, what Shinichi Iwahashi sent her was a CD that was more convenient for switching songs.Even so, she still listened to the first song first.

Putting the record into the CD player, she sat down and listened to the song while reading the letter attached by Shinichi Iwahashi.

"In short, the answer is now revealed."

Shinichi Iwahashi told her in the letter, "This song "Future Vision II" is not a new single released alone, but as one of the main songs of the album, the promotion started in advance."

"So, now I would like to invite you to taste a few more songs. However, as the owner of the shopping street, I am quite confident in my other works. Even so," he wrote this, joking in the letter, "Before you knew it, I quietly increased your workload by ten times, please don't mind."

Nakamori Akina smiled at this not very clever joke.

However, "Future Vision II"...

Akina Nakamori looked at the lyrics book again, and suddenly thought, is there still "Future Vision Picture I"?

Yanqiao Shinichi didn't write this long letter. After talking about the album, he mentioned a few recent entertainments in bits and pieces.

At the end of this year, because of the self-suppression order, it became the most leisurely end of the year for Nakamori Akina since 1985.Now reading Shinichi Iwahashi’s letter, thinking back to the busy running from Kanto to Kansai in the past years, while seeing his exhaustion between the lines, I seem to feel that kind of hard work.

In the last few paragraphs, Yanqiao Shinichi mentioned the Red and White Song Festival.

This year's Red and White Song Concert, Nakamori Akina will naturally attend, and DREAMS COME TRUE is divided into the red group because it is the female lead singer. In this way, it is estimated that we will be able to meet at the Red and White Song Concert venue.

The last time I saw Shinichi Iwahashi backstage at the Red and White Song Club, he was Shinichi Mori's manager.At that time, Nakamori Akina herself had only met him once.

How could she have imagined that the current her would be able to talk freely with him like this, and read a letter full of little things in life.

The Red and White Song Concert is about to begin, and when the time comes, among the well-dressed female singers in the red group, a giraffe man gets mixed in.This situation is funny just thinking about it.

It will probably attract the attention of the audience...

Akina Nakamori finished reading the letter and put it in an envelope.

Then, I listened carefully to the record sent by Iwahashi Shinichi.

……

On the 26th of the next day, the band's new album was sold in record stores across the country, because the highlight of the promotion was placed on New Year's Eve and the New Year holidays. In the last few days of the year, the promotion was not too big.

Of course, it's not like quietly putting the record on the shelf, and then waiting for people who strayed into the deep alley to find out.

There are also the basic posters that should be there, and the linkage with the record store is still the same, but, apart from the Red and White Song Concert, the band did not have any plans to appear on any music show.

Because the publicity budget of the previous year was not greatly cut, and it was maintained at a level similar to that of the previous album, this caused Iwahashi Shinichi to receive some criticism in the office.

The publicity funds have been doubled by [-] times, and the manager who was sent to U-MIZ to serve as the right-hand man to Wanyumi Watanabe does not agree with this unrestrained publicity method in the use of funds.

Not counting the advertisements scheduled for the next year, if replaced by many other singers, the promotion period is just like this.

According to the traditional way of thinking, release a single in November, with an album promotion page attached to the single, and then start to warm up one after another, release a new album in December, and play songs together, so that it is more "mainstream".

Now this kind of publicity is undoubtedly an over-standard treatment.

To achieve this point, in the eyes of the people in the firm, it has reached the point where it is about to be questioned as doing anything wrong.

The manager disagreed, but Shinichi Iwahashi came up with a complete plan, and Wanyumi Watanabe also fully supported it. In this way, it was only possible to cooperate to beat this set of punches.

It's not that Yanqiao Shenyi can't feel the voice of disapproval, but he doesn't take it to heart.

After all, when Watanabe Wanyumi arranged this project, she half-jokingly said that this project would never be approved by Watanabe Productions.

Not only Watanabe Productions, but more than half of the firms in the industry will not cooperate like Watanabe Mayumi.

The band has just debuted, and the first album performed well, but it's hard to say how the second album will fare.This is one of them.

Second, this model of spending money on publicity and creating topics if there is no topic is not very mainstream in itself.

Shinichi Iwahashi relied on Wanyumi Watanabe's trust, and she had the final say because the firm was independent, so she could abandon the inherent mode of film distribution and publicity in such a non-mainstream way, and proceed according to his vision.

Up to now, almost half of the large-scale publicity he envisioned has passed.

Next, it depends on how the Hongbai Songhui and the follow-up combination boxing will be fought.

……

On the 29th, it was the first rehearsal of the Red and White Song Concert.

The firm's car went to pick them up early in the morning, and the three members of the band were led by the personal manager to NHK.

The last time Yanqiao Shinichi sneaked into the backstage was as Mori Shinichi's agent, responsible for running errands to get a lunch box, coordinating the way of serving Huadao, and various chores.

Today, while turning himself into a giraffe man, he also has a manager who helps him with cooking and chores.

Today is the first rehearsal, and tomorrow there will be another rehearsal with makeup.The last three days of this year are all vacated for the Red and White Song Festival.

As long as Meihejiang gets up early, she must be in poor spirits, and her makeup is not on. From the moment she goes downstairs, she has an ominous aura of "don't let strangers in".

If it is not going to attend the Red and White Song Concert, but was woken up early in the morning by other unimportant things, then ninety-nine out of ten will have a series of wake-up qi to show how abominable she is when she is unreasonable.

They were silent all the way.

As soon as they arrived at NHK, the manager reminded them that they should wear a mask to cover their bare face, and those who should wear a headgear to cover their faces quickly, so as not to get out of the car and be photographed by reporters with bad expressions.

In the rehearsal on the 29th, some reporters took pictures on the spot to collect materials. Tomorrow, we will send some previews to the audience in advance.

It is said that the newspapers on that day were extremely popular when they published the rehearsal photos of popular idols.True fans will not only buy records to sell, but also make a newspaper clipping of their idol.

On the contrary, in the subsequent rehearsal with makeup, in order to avoid revealing the stage effect and the singer's costume in advance, reporters were not allowed to take pictures for interviews.

Therefore, before going to the NHK parking lot, it is necessary to prepare first.

Shinichi Iwahashi, who wears a giraffe headgear skill level [-], took over his own body and put it on skillfully.

In fact, if people in the industry are interested in the identity of the giraffe man, it is not impossible to find out if they investigate. The identity of the giraffe man will not be revealed to him.

Since there is such a rule, the reporter will not break the rule to guard the identity of the giraffe man.Otherwise, with Japan Yuji's professional level, all kinds of information about him would already be all over the street.

However, the reason why this kind of rule can exist and protect the giraffe man’s identity is an important premise that the giraffe man himself has professional ethics and guarantees not to show his face in public.

Once he took the lead in showing his face freely in front of reporters, there would be nothing to protect in the future.

As soon as Yanqiao Shen put on the headgear, he was quite satisfied.

At this moment, a hand reached out to him and grabbed his arm.No need to think about it, except for Meihechan sitting next to him, no one else would do this.

Shinichi Iwahashi, who had long given up struggling, turned to her, waiting for her to finish her work.

Put the headgear on for him.

If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be countless times.

"Three, get out of the car."

The car pulled into the parking lot, and the agent reminded them.

Yanqiao Shinichi turned around and reminded Miwa-chan, "Put on the mask."
