Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 870 870. Young and promising
Before Boys' Day on May [-]th comes, at the end of April, carp banners crackling by the wind can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

On April 330, [-] three carp streamers were hung in Tokyo Tower to celebrate the coming Boys' Day.

During the day, Iwahashi Shin passed by Tokyo Tower and heard the crackling of carp streamers. He didn't feel irritable, but pleasant to hear.I still remember when I first started my business, it was the time when carp banners were hung all over the streets and alleys.

Ordinary people hang up ordinary carp banners. Since it is the bubble age of luxury and money, when consumerism sweeps the whole society, it is absolutely impossible to let children go—to be precise, adults are not let go in every way.

On March 300rd, there is a luxurious version of Hinamatsuri dolls for little girls, and on May [-]th, there is a luxurious version of carp streamers for little boys.A set priced at [-] million yen, limited to [-] sets of local tyrant carp streamers, was sold out within three days of being on the market, which became instant news.

Five hundred nouveau riche families...

One of the nouveau riche buyers is GENZO of Shinichi Iwahashi.

Yanqiao Shenyi is not married and has no son, so it is not possible for him to buy a set of local tyrant carp streamers for his son to show off at home. He paid a lot of money to buy such a luxurious set of carp streamers, which is naturally related to work.

The last day of April ends with great news.The song "Let's Dance Together" won the top spot in the second week of its release, and fell to No.3 in the third week. After four weeks, it returned to the top and won two weekly championships.

At the same time, without any suspense, they also won the monthly single champion in April.

The broadcast of "Chibi Maruko-chan" a week before Boys' Day is also quite appropriate. The plot is that Chibi Maruko is envious of other people who have carp streamers in this season when the carp streamers are crackling, and wants to buy carp streamers when she is coquettish with her mother. , but was rejected by her mother on the grounds that "there is no boy in the family", Xiao Maruko did not give up, and made carp streamers with her grandpa, and found grandpa's old long johns and hung them in the courtyard.

When Cherry and Grandpa get together, ten to ten will end with a head full of black lines.

Maruko in the cartoon, in the poor but humane 70s, picked old long johns on the flagpole and pretended to be a carp flag. In the real world outside the cartoon, he won the theme song of the cartoon "Come Together" "Dancing" will set up a flagpole on the stage in the music group before Boys' Day, and hang a 300 million yen carp streamer on it.

In itself, BBQQUEENS, a band formed by Taiko Nagato with Hina dolls as inspiration, has a lively and gorgeous stage style. The local version of the carp streamer hangs on their stage, absolutely no sense of disobedience.

It is not only to celebrate Boys' Day, but also to celebrate the single winning the monthly championship. The cumulative sales volume has touched the threshold of 30 copies, and it is making great strides towards the hit single.Likewise, celebrating with great fanfare is a form of publicity.

For the sake of momentum, topics, and stage effects, knowing that the 300 million yen set of carp streamers is exaggerated, it will no longer be of any use after the music group before the Boys’ Festival runs out of songs... Even so, I still have to buy it and hang it up .

The single sold 30 copies, and the sales exceeded [-] million yen.

In addition, this song "Let's Dance Together" has a high on-demand rate in karaoke, and has become a must-have golden song for family gatherings, company gatherings, and social gatherings.Every time a song is ordered in karaoke, the copyright fee will go into the pockets of record companies and songwriters.As long as the song can become an enduring karaoke hit, the income from this part will definitely exceed the income from selling singles.

GENZO held the publishing copyright of this song in their hands, and they did nothing, and they received a steady stream of money.I made a lot of money by relying on this song. I bought a carp streamer for 300 million yen, but it was just a little bit of water.

After receiving the on-demand data collected by the karaoke business, Yanqiao Shenyi thought about the on-demand data of "Let's Dance Together" and pondered an idea in his heart.If this single is re-edited and a version with song accompaniment is released, there must be quite a few people who will buy another copy for the accompaniment.

No need to do anything extra, as long as you change the version, you can easily make another fortune.

Revamping singles and albums is nothing new in the industry.But the revision is to sell the single accompaniment, and there are probably not many companies doing this.The only thing is, once the single is revised, it will be calculated separately when it is on the sales statistics list.

Although the money was earned, the chance to hit the sales record was gone.

Taking this into consideration, Yanqiao Shinichi has a plan in mind to revise the single and make another cut, but right now is definitely not the time to do so.If you really want to do it, you have to wait until the current one on the market can no longer be sold, or when it reaches a memorable number, it is logical to celebrate a new version or something.

Of course, considering the possibility that the accompaniment can stimulate sales, even if it cannot be used on "Let's Dance Together" for the time being, Iwahashi Shinichi has to ponder whether it can be used on other singles.

"Eyes to me", produced and participated by Shinichi Iwahashi, is the first million-dollar single in the Heisei era.With such a record in his hand, he is not only inflated, but more confident in the singles market.

"Let's Dance Together" sold nearly 30 copies a month after it was released, and the popularity has not dropped too much. As long as it works properly, and the hit cartoon "Chibi Maruko" is on the air, I really want to touch it The threshold of one million is not a fantasy.

For this reason, it is necessary to find ways to make this single closer to Café de Coral, which is suitable for all ages, and "crackling crackling" for the whole people.Celebrate Boys' Day together on Boys' Day, and celebrate Qixi Festival again on Qixi Festival.With Fuji TV, which holds the original disc rights, helping to stir up the popularity, we don't have to worry about not being able to sing from April to the end of the year, creating a crowd of people singing and dancing.

In the first week of May, taking advantage of the popularity of the weekly champion last week and the monthly champion in April, the originally reduced publicity became stronger again.However, rather than saying that the record company did it intentionally, it might be better to say that the more popular the single, the more opportunities to come to the door for cooperation, and what the company has to do is to follow the trend and make good use of the opportunity of sending it to the door.

……

On International Labor Day one day, the news section of the evening paper reported nationwide protests again.In the bubble era, the manufacturing industry was hit hard. Although it was the most prosperous era, the shadow of corporate layoffs still loomed over some people.

Land prices stopped rising in March, making the whole world look to Tokyo, waiting to see whether this high-rise building will continue to rise or collapse——

By April, in the first half of the month, land prices dropped slightly, and the voice of "Tokyo's land price myth will be shattered" sounded from all directions.But in the second half of the month, there was another round of sharp rise. Not only did it rise back from the previous fall, but it also went higher.In the first half of the month, people who shouted that the myth was shattered were slapped in the face, and the inflated Japanese were even more inflated, firmly believing that the land price in Tokyo is as eternal as a diamond.

Those who were originally dissatisfied with the austerity policy implemented by the Ministry of Finance also breathed a sigh of relief, believing that Japan has survived the imminent crisis, and the next few years will still be as prosperous as previous years.

As for the people who climbed onto the rooftops and fell off the railroad tracks just a few months ago because of the stock market crash, their families became ruined. Once this chapter is turned over, it becomes a small lead on the paper.

On the one hand, it is the tone of the bubble that continues to rise in Japan.On the other side, turning to the international sector, the situation in the Gulf region has intensified and become more tense.If a war is really launched, the world does not know what it will look like.

For the Japanese at this moment, the future seems to be something that can be seen clearly, but in fact it is vague.What can be done is to continue to be trapped in the crowd, pass one red light after another, and silently say in my heart:
"When the red light is on, as long as you run together, you don't have to be afraid!"

After several years of bubbles, things that can be blown up have been blown to high places, and all kinds of outrageously expensive things have become popular among the public, and things that are useless except to prove that you are an upstart.A diamond-encrusted golf club priced at 300 million yen, and a limited-edition product priced at tens of millions of yen...Compared with these, the [-] million carp streamer is just a small microcosm.

On May 300th, everyone from BBQUEENS stepped onto the stage of "MUSIC STATION". During the interview, the host Tamori took the "[-] million yen limited edition carp streamer" as the topic and the highlight of the next performance, and The band members chatted.

When it was mentioned that this was specially prepared for today’s stage and the carp streamer was worth 300 million yen, Funosuke Kondo, who was in charge of the speech, said with a smile, “It feels like the producer’s brain is broken.” With a self-deprecating tone, there was a burst of laughter in the studio.

Even the audience watching the program in front of the TV laughed at the words of the producer.

As for Shinichi Iwahashi, who was described by the singer as "brain broken" in the program, after the performance of the day, the carp streamer bought for 300 million yen will soon be completely useless. Call Momoko and ask her to sign the carp banner.

The limited-edition carp streamer bought for 300 million yen was immediately upgraded to the unique koi streamer in the world that has been featured in "MUSIC STATION", as well as a koi streamer signed by the manga author.Afterwards, GENZO changed hands and auctioned the carp streamer bought for 300 million yen for 1000 to [-] million yen.Even after paying the copyright royalties to "Chibi Maruko-chan", he still made a lot of money.

It's hard to say who the brain is broken, but it's definitely not the producer Iwahashi.

……

As soon as May entered, they took advantage of the heat to publicize it and took advantage of the Boys' Day. After the week ended, "Let's Dance Together" once again won the weekly chart championship, achieving a two-week consecutive championship and a cumulative three-week championship. .

The cadres at Fuji TV called Shinichi Iwahashi and agreed with him to hold a celebration banquet.

GENZO is in charge of the management, and now the single is selling well, and the celebration banquet has to be organized by GENZO.Of course there is a celebration banquet, and at the same time, it is also a good opportunity to get in touch with Fuji TV, the parties involved in "Chibi Maruko", the brother company's Japanese animation production company... and so on.

Without the suggestion from the cadres of Fuji TV, Iwahashi Shinichi made preparations before receiving the call, and at this time, he replied to the other party. He had already made preparations and was about to send out invitations.

After receiving such an answer from the other side, he suddenly felt relieved, and felt that Yanqiao Shinichi was well-organized and trustworthy.

Even though Shinichi Iwahashi was only 24 years old after his birthday on June [-]st, his talent and achievements outweighed everything else, so no one would mention his age anymore.Sitting firmly on the throne of the president, with a Bentley to sit in and out, and three cash cows in hand, now, even the phrase "young and promising" is rarely uttered in front of Iwahashi Shinichi.

This also means that there are even fewer people who can put their seniors in front of him and say that he is "young and promising"——

"Yanqiao-san is really young and promising."

At the banquet held to celebrate the hot sale of "Let's Dance Together", Iwahashi Shinichi heard someone praise him so much after a long absence.

It's a middle-aged man who doesn't seem to have seen him before.

When the other party handed over the business card, it was even more certain that they had never met.Not only that, but Yanqiao Shenyi vaguely guessed who this person was.

The man's name is "Baba Shunichi", and his title is the executive of the record company VERMILLION.

BBQUEENS is a group produced by BEING, and most of the members are from BEING. The single is produced by Taiyuki Nagato. To hold a celebration party, of course, invite BEING people.

This record company called VERMILLION, Iwahashi Shinichi has the impression that it was the record company established after Nagato Taiyuki accepted the inclusion of BURNING.

As expected, this Baba Shunichi was the person sent by Zhou Fang Yuxiong to "assist" Nagato Taiyuki.

Yanqiao Shenyi didn't mind being called "young and promising", so he accepted the compliment, accepted the other party's business card, and handed over his own, "Thank you, Baba-san."

Shunichi Baba, who was in charge of carrying out the task of incorporating BEING, knew the details of Shinichi Iwahashi.Not only that, but he also knew in his heart that if it weren't for Iwahashi Shinichi not being able to move, Nagato Taiyuki and his BEING would definitely not be able to do so.

However, although I knew a lot about Shinichi Iwahashi, this was the first time we actually met each other.

Nagato Taiyuki established the record company VERMILLION with the help of BURNING.With the backing of the Combustion Department, when the company was established, it communicated with the offices under the Combustion Department and prepared to launch newcomers.

This May, newcomers will debut through VERMILLION soon, and the press conference will be held in one week.Zhou Fang Yuxiong made a statement, and the media will give the BURNING department a face, and the momentum at that time can be imagined.

"Speaking of which, I'm still new to the record industry."

Ma Changjun smiled, as if he had announced his identity, and said such a sentence.

Yanqiao Shinichi also smiled, "There is no one who doesn't start with a newcomer." He didn't treat Shunichi Baba differently just because he was from BURNING.There is not much willingness to play Tai Chi with him, or to talk about things that can only be circled around the periphery.

They were chatting politely here, when there were footsteps approaching, it was Mayumi Watanabe coming.

Yanqiao Shinichi turned his head and saw her, and greeted her with a smile, "Watanabe-san."
