Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 675
This Saturday is Miwa-chan's birthday, and the little fox is eagerly waiting for a birthday present from Iwahashi Shinichi.

She has been asking for it for a long time, if she doesn't deliver it in the end, will she be disappointed? I don't mention it in advance, it will make her feel bad, and the possibility of pushing Yanqiao Shinichi to the ground is not low. .

No way, just treat it for yourself——

In order for Meihechan to give him a gift in return a month later, the birthday gift that should be given must also be given.

Iwahashi Shinichi went to a meeting with Wanyumi Watanabe, and while chatting, he casually complained to her about Miwachan asking him for a gift.He was helpless with Miwa-chan, and Wanyumi Watanabe looked happy to watch the fun.

As Yanqiao Shenyi was talking, he glanced at her, seeing her smile that was not a big deal when watching the excitement, and suddenly felt that he had chosen the wrong person to complain.

But then again, there is no one else to complain about besides her.

Speaking to Mayumi Watanabe, at most she would laugh at her.If you tell Brother Nakamura, [-]% will be gloated at.As for telling others, there may not be any reaction.

"Then," Watanabe Wanyumi accepted as soon as she saw the deal, "Has Shinichi-kun thought of anything to give?"

Yanqiao Shenyi shook his head, "Afterwards, I'll go shopping." Thinking of it, he said casually, "However, if you want to give a gift to Mihe-chan, the gift-picking skills you gave me before will not be used at all. "

"It's conceivable." Watanabe Wanyumi thought deeply.

If Meihejiang was satisfied with receiving ordinary gifts, it wouldn't give him such a headache.

In the same way, Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't have any extra expectations about what gifts he will receive in return on his birthday, he just hopes that Meihechan's aesthetics will not be too explosive.

"Speaking of which, have you decided to sign the advertisement for Meihejiang lip balm?" He turned back to the topic.

After getting an affirmative answer, Shinichi Iwahashi suggested to Wanyumi Watanabe to negotiate with the lip balm advertiser and use the song DREAMS COME TRUE as the theme song for the advertisement.

"Thinking of going together." Wanyumi Watanabe replied, "I'm planning to do that too. The band's popularity has already opened up, and it's when the popularity is high, so it's not difficult to negotiate."

"Besides, it's an advertisement with the core characters of DREAMS COME TRUE as the protagonist." She was sure.

Firms, advertisers, no one in any link is stupid enough to use the songs of other singers in the advertisements with the lead singer of other bands as the leading role.

"Indeed." Yanqiao Shen nodded, "Either there is no commercial song, or only the band's song."

In this way, as long as you can come up with a song that makes the advertiser feel that it matches the advertisement, there is almost no problem.

The lip balm commercials are signed on a quarterly basis, and will be filmed and broadcast soon after the decision is made.

The first show of the circus tour was held on June [-]. At the end of May, the band will release a new album and sing songs from the new album during the tour.

Whether Shinichi Iwahashi or Mayumi Watanabe, what they want to negotiate with the advertisers is to use the songs from the new album.

There is not too much advertising, at least so far, the promotional specifications for this unreleased new album can only continue to increase, there is no reason to cut it.

Release an album in the middle of the year, and work hard on a national tour. In the second half of this year, DREAMS COME TRUE is only planning to release a transitional single at the end of October and early November to maintain exposure. Other than that, there will be no more large-scale activities , Except for the promotional period, it will no longer be on TV, keeping enough mystery.

From "Future Vision II" to "Eyes to Me", it is enough to play two good cards a year, and if there are good songs that are expected to be popular, they will be saved until next year.

After finishing the business, Shinichi Yanqiao spoke nice words to himself in front of the domineering president, "Is there no advertiser who wants to use all DREAMS COME TRUE at the same time, or wants to use the image of Mr. Giraffe?"

With more money and less work, he really wants to shoot commercials.

"Unfortunately, not yet." Wanyumi Watanabe replied.

Yanqiao Shenyi did not give up, and continued to ask for a job with the boss of the firm, "Can you also give me and Nakamura-san a little more income? Boss."

Time and time again, Watanabe Wanyumi's smile grew firmly on the phrase "BOSS".

Maybe it's not the word "BOSS" that's funny, but Shinichi Iwahashi when he called her "BOSS".

"By the way," Wanyumi Watanabe recalled something and said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "Momoko Kikuchi helped recommend ZARD's new album on the radio."

Yanqiao nodded cautiously, and responded casually, "That's what happened."

Before Kikuchi Momoko called to ask for ZARD concert tickets, he told Watanabe Mayumi, and both of them knew what was going on.

Mayumi Watanabe mentioned it, and said casually, "The enthusiasm of this fan, Kikuchi-san, is really long enough."

Iwahashi Shinichi made her say this amused, "It's only been a few months, and it's still far from 'long time'." But it's not that he doesn't understand the true meaning of Mayumi Watanabe's words.

When the Yuejiu drama was broadcast before, there was still a relationship with the TV drama, but now there is no spontaneous recommendation related to the interests.To such an extent, Kikuchi Momoko’s liking when she recommended ZARD’s songs for the first time is true.

Of course, it doesn't matter to Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Wanyumi whether it's true liking or false liking.However, Kikuchi Momoko's generous way of expressing her liking shows that she has a rather amiable personality.

"but,"

Mentioning Momoko Kikuchi and ZARD reminded Manyumi Watanabe of the Guanzi sold by Shinichi Iwahashi before, "What are you going to do with your idea of ​​increasing the popularity of the band?"

"It's not the time yet." Yanqiao Shen said.

The most unpleasant thing is when a man plays tricks.

Yanqiao Shen saw her unhappiness, and explained: "It's really not the time, at least this advertising season must pass."

Mayumi Watanabe had no choice but to accept this rhetoric, so she followed Momoko Kikuchi with him and chatted about ZARD again.

Anyway, a star from another firm who likes the band, won't be the subject of their conversation.

In fact, after Kikuchi Momoko received the album and concert tickets from the record company, she called Shinichi Iwahashi to express her gratitude.

Yan Qiaoshen did it with a gesture of his hand, but he didn't take it to heart after ordering it.After receiving her thank you call again, she said she was polite, but she had a good impression of this gentle and submissive girl who was not submissive.

The sales of ZARD's new album are going steadily, and the plan for the promotion period is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Everything is going smoothly, and there is nothing to worry about. If there is no accident, this album may continue to sell on the album list for a long time.

However, it is also unlikely that this album will usher in a big explosion in sales and popularity.Because of this, Wanyumi Watanabe looked forward to Shinichi Iwahashi's idea of ​​hiding but not saying.

Instead, it was the proposal to let Kamachi Sachiko participate in a fashion magazine shoot, and the feedback after the magazine was released was unexpectedly good.

Sachiko Kamachi, who is tall and straight with a refreshing temperament, appeared in fashion magazines as the lead singer of a rock band, and even subverted the inherent impression of the identity of "lead singer of a rock band" among ordinary women.

In the accompanying interview in the magazine, Sachiko Kamachi's dual identities of "urban woman" and "lead singer of the band" showed the world more possibilities for women.

At the same time, this approach also pushes ZARD into commercialization, and separates it from "orthodox rock bands".Of course, Shinichi Iwahashi's positioning for ZARD has never been an "orthodox school" who only produces music and does not participate in anything else.

Since the response to getting Sachiko Kabochi to shoot fashion magazines was good, it is worthwhile to take this branch line seriously in the future and let her do some modeling work properly.

After chatting for a while, Yan Qiao took a look at the time, got up and said goodbye.

Watanabe Mayumi reminded him, "See you tonight."

Yanqiao Shinichi let out an "ah", remembered what she said, and agreed, "I know."

……

Asking for a job with the boss of the firm is far away, and occasional communication with other firm stars is irrelevant. Only preparing birthday gifts for Mei Hechan is a matter that is close at hand.

After leaving Watanabe Wanyumi's place, Iwahashi Shin took a look at the time, fished in broad daylight, and took some time to go shopping.

However, Iwahashi Shinichi went to the department store alone, and didn't know what to give her as a birthday present.

He has no interest in shopping, and he usually goes straight to the topic of what he wants to buy, but when he is aimlessly choosing gifts, he has no other choice but to go shopping one after another.

There are very few office workers who can leisurely go shopping at this time, Yanqiao Shinichi turned and turned, and in the end, he didn't choose a gift for Mihe-chan, but bought something for his paper tiger with teeth and claws.

When he looked at the jewelry, he couldn't imagine the situation of giving jewelry to Miwa-chan. He always thought the picture was funny, but he thought it was appropriate to give it to Nakamori Akina——

Even if his vision is not very good, he still feels good about himself and generally thinks it is appropriate.

As a result, Shinichi Iwahashi gradually forgot the real purpose of going shopping for fishing during the day, and when he came out of the department store, he was holding a bracelet for Akina Nakamori in his hand.

It wasn't until he got into the car that he thought about buying a gift for Mihe-chan—this forgotten thing.

no way……

The department stores in Ginza couldn't find anything suitable for Miwa-chan, so Shinichi Iwahashi switched positions again and continued to fish for it.Turned and turned, and finally at the musical instrument store that had no relationship with Mihe-chan, I spent a huge sum of [-] yen to buy Mihe-chan... an ocarina.

Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't understand the ocarina at all, so he wants to buy it for Miwa-chan, and it's not because he wants to encourage her to learn an instrument he doesn't understand at all, he just bought it for his eyes.

The ocarina I bought for her was fired into the shape of a cartoon cat. There was a small paw protruding from the mouthpiece, and the cat's ears were additionally fired. In addition, the cat's shape and expression , was painted onto the front of the ocarina.

Give a cat to a mouse who likes to carry a gun, this gift has a lot of meaning...

It's not that complicated, I just think this little thing is cute.

However, just for the fun of spending [-] yen to buy an ocarina that may not be useful, and may only be left there to shed dust, Iwahashi Shinichi’s poor people’s setting is vaguely loose.

After shopping for birthday presents, Iwahashi Shinichi seemed to have made a big deal, and was only waiting to give it to Mihe-chan in two days.

There is also a gift for Akina Nakamori, and I can't wait to give it to her.

Even so, in the last two or three days, the two of them had their own busy schedules, and they didn't have much time to see each other.But gifts, unless they are prepared and waited in advance for a special day, otherwise, if you buy a gift on a whim when you are thinking about someone, there is a feeling that the sooner it can be delivered to her, the better.

Yanqiao Shen was thinking about giving her a gift, and suddenly felt that this restless look was very interesting.

Buying gifts to pass the time until the evening, tonight I'm going to have dinner with people from TV Asahi, and the discussion is about the tricky show that is being planned.

Mayumi Watanabe, who just met in the afternoon, also brought the manager of the firm to attend——

The phrase "see you tonight" refers to this dinner.

After the plan is finalized, first in early August, two episodes will be broadcast in a row at [-]:[-] p.m. on Friday in the form of a special program. Afterwards, it will be decided whether it is necessary to regularize it based on the ratings and feedback from the audience.

Watanabe Wanyumi's office is the biggest sponsor of the show. The popularity of DREAMS COME TRUE this year has made Watanabe Wanyumi's office a lot of money. They are quite ample, and they just use it to fill the sponsorship fee for this show.

And the "Kitchen" she invested in was released in a small restaurant and did not have much hope at the box office, but it has a good reputation and has been kept in theaters.

As for making money, the big head still has to wait until later to release video tapes and make money by selling video tapes.

It is not only a question of whether the wallet will suffer or not, but also how the outside world perceives how much this young lady who separated from Watanabe's main family has.

At least from her independence to the present, every step she has taken has been very stable, so stable that people cannot underestimate her, and cannot regard her as "the second lady of Watanabe Producer", especially the TV Asahi people, let alone underestimate her. she.

TV Asahi is also willing to conduct a trial broadcast of this program. I hope that the two partners Wanyumi Watanabe and Shinichi Iwahashi can make another new program comparable to the band Heaven.

After the band Heaven, a new show was necessary in every sense of the word.

Of course, for such a dinner, the fat young Yasushi Akimoto, who was brought over by Shinichi Iwahashi to cooperate, was also present as a matter of course.It's been a while since I saw him. The fat young man's physique remains the same, and his smile and slow-moving slickness haven't changed at all.

The absolute protagonists of this meal were Wanyumi Watanabe and TV Asahi. Shinichi Iwahashi was in charge of assisting the domineering president. The fat young man stood on the sidelines and only spoke when he mentioned something related to the content of the program.

The female boss of the office is not good at socializing. After the meal, Wanyumi Watanabe was about to leave the venue, and handed over the rest of the reception to the manager of the office who came with her.As for the topics that may be discussed later, Iwahashi Shinichi will continue to be in charge.

As soon as she leaves, the men head to nightclubs.
