Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 872
At the moment when urban white-collar fashion dramas are on the air, this theme alone has its own basic ratings, and the original works of popular comics guarantee the topicality before the broadcast, and even the news does not need to be hyped.

As long as the screenwriters of Fuji TV don't have twitches, it will be a solid TV series.

Shinichi Iwahashi was a little curious, "Manyumi-san wants to get a role for the actresses in the agency?"

Wanyumi Watanabe shook her head, "Izumi Inamura is not yet old enough to act as an urban white-collar woman, Reiko Takashima has to prepare a morning TV series."

"Did you pass the final selection?" Yanqiao Shinichi asked her.

Wanyumi Watanabe smiled, "The news of the decision has just been made, and the draft has not yet been officially released. It has already been decided that Takashima-san will be the heroine of the [-]th anniversary commemorative TV series in the morning."

Iwahashi Shinichi was also happy for her and Takashima Reiko, "This is a great opportunity."

"Excuse me" is a classic of a generation, and with the big production of the morning drama's [-]th anniversary, there is no need to worry about not having good ratings.After the TV series was broadcast, it appeared in front of the public six days a week, including the most important ratings disk - housewives.The future is infinitely broad.

The only thing is, since she is scheduled to star in the morning TV series, during this period, Reiko Takashima has to do her best to prepare for the filming, and can no longer audition for other TV series for her.

It is a rule that the NHK Production Bureau does not say anything at all.In this way, regardless of whether there is a suitable role for Takashima Reiko's image, just for this one, she will be excluded first.

Although the conditions were a bit stricter, it was acceptable in view of the generous rewards for performing morning dramas.

If I really want to say it, Wanyumi Watanabe is going to prepare for Reiko Takashima, which is the next TV drama on Minfang TV after the morning drama ends.Pick a good book, at least act as a second-hander, and push her up after the morning drama.

In this way, the two actresses promoted by her firm have nothing to do with this TV series.

Shinichi Iwahashi was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Mayumi Watanabe mention, "It's not an actress, it's an actor."

"Actor?" He responded.

"Last year, the editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine next door recommended a model to me."

"Kirakira?" Shinichi Iwahashi remembered that the neighbor of her office was a women's intelligence magazine.

Wanyumi Watanabe nodded, guessing what he was thinking, and explained: "It's not their own model, but a fashion magazine model belonging to the same publisher as "KIRAKIRA."

"Oh." Yanqiao Shenyi listened.

Wanyumi Watanabe told him, "My real name is Kozo Nomura. However, my stage name as a model is Kazuki Sawamura." She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "I'm still inspired by you."

"I?"

Watanabe Wanyumi replied, "Choose newcomers from among the models."

It's about Shinichi Iwahashi picking Sachiko Kaminochi and Keiko Utoku from Stardust's models.Yanqiao Shinichi asked her to joke and raised his eyebrows.

"Sawamura-kun will be 23 years old in July. He is 184 cm tall. He was the leader of the volleyball club when he was a student. He is quite a suave and handsome man." Watanabe Manyumi said to him.

In order to sign Kazuki Sawamura, Wanyumi Watanabe paid him a signing fee of 800 million yen.

Kazuki Sawamura comes from a poor family. His father ran away from home after incurring huge debts when he was in elementary school. His mother supported him and his younger sister while working to pay off the debt.With an introverted personality, the biggest reason why he wants to enter the entertainment world is to make more money.

Becoming a star is a person with a poor family and an outstanding appearance. It is the most promising path before you.The reason why Kazuki Sawamura was willing to join Mayumi Watanabe's office was because of the signing fee of 800 million yen.

"It's worth it." Watanabe Mayumi said to Iwahashi Shinichi.

Yanqiao Shinichi smiled, "Manyumi-san's vision has always been trustworthy, and I know this best." He never asked about Watanabe Wanyumi's office, but he didn't know that she recently had a new actor who had high hopes .

However, Shinichi Iwahashi felt her determination in signing a new model with a signing fee of 800 million yen.

Being flattered by him, Mayumi Watanabe smiled, "Please meet Sawamura-kun some other day."

Yanqiao Shinichi agreed.As for recommending Kazuki Sawamura to audition for "Tokyo Love Story", whether he will become the opponent of the male actor of PAPADO, these are not within their consideration.

If the arts world was really such a polite place where whoever speaks first would take over, it wouldn't be what it is today.What's more, it's all auditions, so it's a matter of which cloud has rain in it.

Wanyumi Watanabe was thinking about getting a role in this planned TV series, but Shinichi Iwahashi was thinking about whether he would have a chance to get the theme song of this TV series.

If Wanyumi Watanabe hadn't set his sights on "Tokyo Love Story", he wouldn't have put his mind on this TV series.

……

In mid-May, GENZO's first female solo singer Keiko Utoku officially released her debut single.For this debut single, Shinichi Iwahashi is the chief producer. In terms of music production, a musician named Xiaoxi Kangyang was hired.

Xiao Xikang is a masculine man in his early 30s and is the soul of the band "PIZZICATO FIVE".Although the reputation is not obvious, but the musical literacy is nothing to say, and various styles are at your fingertips - this is also reflected in the style of the band he is in.

Iwahashi Shinichi chose Konishi Yasuyo as the producer of Utoku Keiko, which was recommended by Tsutsumi Kyohei, a big figure in the industry.

For the cover of Chisato Moritaka's "17 Years Old", when Shinichi Iwahashi visited Tsutsumi Kyohei to ask for the right to cover the song, the two met for the first time.Afterwards, "17 Years Old" was a great success, and the re-made version was not only approved by the original singer Saori Nan, but also by Tsutsumi Kyohei.Last year, when Iwahashi Shinichi produced that project album, Tsutsumi Kyohei also expressed his support for him.

After all, when Shinichi Iwahashi visited for the first time, this man said to him that "idols and bands can also be perfectly integrated".

With the successful production of the planned album, Iwahashi Shinichi and Tsutsumi Kyohei became more familiar with each other, and became one of the members who were invited to participate in the parties held by Tsutsumi Kyohei at home.This person's family gathering was attended by music producers, singers, and songwriters. Thanks to Tsutsumi Kyohei, people such as Hosono Harutomi and Sakamoto Ryuichi, Iwahashi Shinichi has also met.

The rest, such as Tatsuro Yamashita and Maria Takeuchi, Ryudo Uzaki and Yoko Aki, and Takao Kaiseki and Etsuko Kaiseko...these also met one after another.

Those who were invited to the gathering were all music producers, singers, and songwriters, which meant that Tsutsumi Kyohei and Iwahashi Shinichi valued his identity as a producer.It just so happens that in the industry, if you get to know these musicians more, there will be more opportunities for cooperation.

This little Nishi Yasuyo, whose band is signed to Hosono Harutomi's record label, his talent is quite appreciated by Tsutsumi Kyohei's small group, this time, he was recommended to Iwahashi Shinichi.

Konishi Yasuyo was entrusted to be the music producer of Keiko Utoku's first two singles after his debut, and did not sign a long-term production contract.Based on Shinichi Iwahashi's determination of Keiko Utoku's style of "fresh guitar girl SOLO", the production is carried out.

After two singles, according to the feedback from the outside world, a new music producer was decided.

After deciding to debut, Utoku Keiko cut her long hair short under the arrangement of the company. From the beginning of the new year to now, she has a fresh image of short hair. In addition, she is also working hard to learn guitar and composition.

When formulating the debut plan, the company realized that Keiko Utoku was not the kind of singer who would "become an instant hit". Therefore, when formulating the debut plan, it also adopted a long-term publicity method, and did not make it clear at the beginning. Prepare that kind of overwhelming large-scale publicity plan, but such as participating in radio performances nationwide, recommending singles to radio programs as theme songs... etc., keep a little distance from the public, but at the same time be close to the public.

The positioning for Yude Keiko is a solo girl with short hair and fresh image. The invited producer Xiaoxi Kangyang is also good at the brisk and beautiful music style, which is very suitable for summer.It will debut in mid-May, and it will be promoted on a low fire. When the rainy season is over and the summer of vacation arrives, then it will arrange TV performances and other publicity methods.

mid-may.

On the one hand, there is the unassuming debut of Utoku Keiko, and on the other hand, there is the release of VERMILLION Records with great fanfare. The company held a press conference at Akasaka Prince Hotel, announcing that it will launch a band called REV.

VERMILLION Records has recently been established, and they want to launch a rookie band. The reason why they can have such a big momentum is naturally because of BURNING Zhou Fangyuxiong's face.If he leaks any news, the media in the industry will go to praise him.

However, a rookie band can occupy such a large position in the newspaper, just relying on the influence of BURNING, it is impossible to see it.If one is not done well, it will first leave an impression in the hearts of the public that "there is no work and there is air".

This kind of thing, Zhou Fangyu Xiong will not be unclear.That being the case, there are other reasons to present this band to the public with great fanfare.

The REV band is centered on a female vocalist, with four male musicians.The female lead singer is Yoko Nagayama, a female idol signed by BURNING.

Yoko Nagayama is not an unknown person. She debuted as an idol singer as early as 1984, caught up with the disco craze, and even became popular with the single "Venus".But after that, his idol career was mediocre, and he was far behind those popular idols.The popularity is not good. In the first two years, I also started to try to act in movies, trying to be an actor.

If a well-known idol wants to transform into a band female lead singer, then it is worth giving a fanfare draft.

And this fanfare release also revealed the fact that this VERMILLION record has a close relationship with the BURNING department.

……

The press conference for REV's debut was on the same day as Keiko Utoku's debut. REV's press release with great fanfare suppressed Keiko Utoku's low-key debut, making it seem that this GENZO female solo debut was made quietly.

Nagato Taiyuki flipped through the newspaper, looked at the extremely conspicuous REV in the entertainment section, and the inconspicuous Utoku Keiko next to him, and couldn't help smiling.

Choosing this day to hold a debut press conference for REV may not be without the intention of creating an embarrassment for GENZO.

Of course, there are newcomers debuting in the entertainment world every week, and it is inevitable to meet them occasionally.It can't be said that it was intentional, it was just a coincidence.

Nagato Taiko's eyes stopped for a while on the news of the release of Utoku Keiko's debut single, and then fell on the report of REV's debut press conference.

It is not uncommon for an idol to transform into the lead singer of a band. It is not uncommon to choose Nagayama Yoko as the female lead singer of the band.

Yoko Nagayama made her idol debut in 1984, but she is only 22 years old.To sing against ZARD, the chosen female lead singer must not be too young, otherwise, she will not be able to sing lyrics with an "urban feel".

Nagato Taiko wants to find a beautiful lead singer to form a band, and Nagayama Yoko is one of the most beautiful women among idols. What makes him most satisfied is that Nagayama Yoko learned shamisen since she was a child. Before her idol debut, her dream was To become an enka singer, the temperament of the whole person has both modern beauty and Showa feminine temperament.

In Nagato Taiyuki's mind, the image of the female lead singer conceived is a modern woman with Showa temperament. She likes a man who already has a lover. bless……

In addition to the fact that the image fits Nagato Taiko's ideas, Nagayama Yoko has excellent singing skills, and her voice is also explosive and quite recognizable.The idol era is recognized as a powerful idol.

Now, transforming to become the lead singer of the band will definitely not give people the impression of flamboyance.

In addition, Yoko Nagayama has the ability to play the shamisen. When she appears on the stage, she will bring the shamisen on stage, or integrate the shamisen into the arrangement style of the band. These possibilities are not impossible to explore——

When Yoko Nagayama yearned to become an enka singer and had a negative attitude towards the lead singer of the transition band, Nagato Taiyuki explained it to her so much.

Nagato Taiyuki thinks that with the help of Zhou Fang Yuxiong, Nagayama Yoko was able to serve as the lead singer of his planned band, which was many times better than expected.It really is good to lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade.

However, Yoko Nagayama and Victory Records still have an unfinished record deal. If they want to switch to VERMILLION Records as the lead singer of the band, Zhou Fang Yuxiong needs to come forward and negotiate with Victory Records.It was finally determined that during the contract period of Yoko Nagayama, the production rights and original disc rights of the records released by REV belonged to VERMILLION Records, and the distribution rights belonged to Victory Records.

It is equivalent to temporarily outsourcing the production rights of Yoko Nagayama to VERMILLION Records, but what he got together is not only the production rights, but also the copyright of the original disc that Nagato Taiko has been thinking about.

REV's debut press conference is over, and they will make their official debut soon. The contract between BBQUEENS and GENZO ended, and the record contract returned to VERMILLION. "Let's Dance Together" is a big sale, and BBQQUEENS's value has risen. Although he was tricked by that cunning boy, Shinichi Iwahashi, he didn't suffer a loss.

In addition, B'z, who is already a little famous, will soon negotiate to sign them back to VERMILLION Records.

Taiko Nagato checked the cards in his hand, they were all good cards.

There is only one trouble...
