Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 882 882. Wrist luck
Fukuyama Masaharu is only 21 years old this year, young and young.When we met, he was a handsome guy with a tall figure and outstanding temperament. AMUSE Yokichi Osato's vision is as trustworthy as Wanyumi Watanabe.

Having said that, these days, most of the young actors promoted by the office are remarkable in terms of appearance, figure and temperament.

Idols like Johnny who go to acting are another thing... But even Johnny, who has been delayed by acrobatics, among the idols who have become famous, there are Higashiyama Noriyuki who are excellent in all aspects as an actor.

Masaharu Fukuyama, a young man, wanted to work in music when he came to Beijing from his hometown.By accident, he was first selected as an actor, but the road to acting was not smooth. In the past two years since his debut, he has been living a poor life.Now, being recommended by Yokichi Osato to Shinichi Iwahashi and signed to GENZO, for him, it is undoubtedly a rare good news since his debut.

Having been an unknown young actor for two years, I have tasted the hardships of the entertainment industry and fully understood the difficulty of getting ahead in the entertainment industry.Even so, Fukuyama Masaharu was not lacking in self-confidence when he was told that he had a chance to make a music debut.

But it is not blind self-confidence, but a kind of self-confidence that knows that it may not go well and will suffer a lot, but is already prepared.

For such a young man, Yanqiao Shen saw his bearing and demeanor, but he was not convinced by his bearing.However, in my heart, I admire Oli Yangji's vision of the candidate even more.Even, I understand why Yokichi Osato tried his best to persuade Masaharu Fukuyama to act.

There are many handsome singers, but there are not many handsome singers who can have the expressiveness of actors.

When Fukuyama Masaharu was in his hometown, he tried to form a band, and he also wrote lyrics and music. His dream is to be a singer-songwriter.When I came to Tokyo, after the actor made his debut, he never stopped creating.According to him, he has amassed about forty stock songs.

If you can compose yourself and include all the lyrics and music, the cost of making records for Fukuyama Masaharu can be kept very low.In terms of publicity, AMUSE entrusted the production, and what kind of publicity specifications to give depends on Yokichi Osato's plan.

When entertaining guests before, Yokichi Osato spoke loosely, without the sense of urgency of "making Masaharu Fukuyama popular as soon as possible".Iwahashi Shinichi knew that Yokichi Osato would not give too much publicity to Masaharu Fukuyama, so when we met for the first time, the focus of attention was Masaharu Fukuyama's creative ability and his thoughts on his own music route.

It was agreed a long time ago that I would ask Shinichi Iwahashi to record Masaharu Fukuyama's record, and the interview at this moment is just a formality.

Iwahashi Shinichi asked Masaharu Fukuyama about his thoughts on the music route, and then agreed with him. When he attended the meeting with the record company, he would bring songs that could make an album and listen to them at the meeting.

"An album?" Fukuyama Masaharu and Iwahashi Shinichi asked again as if confirming.

His tone was cautious and careful, as if he was trying to figure out what the producer was thinking.

Yanqiao Shen didn't change his face, "Yes. Just pick an album from your inventory." After a pause, he emphasized again, "It's picking an album."

It's not about asking him to choose ten of his best works from the inventory, but to take the opportunity to see Masaharu Fukuyama's taste.And from his selection of songs for his album, we can also see his thoughts on his own music route.

After the chat, Shinichi Iwahashi and Hirokichi Osato put Masaharu Fukuyama aside and began to discuss the record deal.Orally discuss the things to be agreed on first, and then send a special person to sign the contract.

When the president started talking about the signing, Masaharu Fukuyama, who was waiting to be signed, left with his manager.

There is a ready-made template in the industry for record appointments.If Fukuyama Masaharu was a well-known actor who came to play tickets, he might sign a short-term contract, or a one-time contract or something like that, but given his current reputation, he would sign a five-year standard contract. .

Iwahashi Shinichi and Osato Yokichi reached a consensus, and after that, there was no need for the two of them to personally come forward for the signing of the contract with Fukuyama Masaharu.

In addition to Fukuyama Masaharu's record contract, another thing that Iwahashi Shinichi and Osato Yokichi have to negotiate is what kind of debut announcement should be issued.

Fukuyama Masaharu's debut announcement is also an announcement to the public that AMUSE is the first to respond to Iwahashi Shinichi's wish to make a solo singer.

Such a quick response also means announcing to the industry that the two companies have a good relationship.

……

After making a record contract with Masaharu Fukuyama, Shinichi Iwahashi will start planning his career path.

According to Iwahashi Shinichi's instructions, Fukuyama Masaharu selected the music of an album, and brought it to the meeting to try it out.In all fairness, listening to these pieces, Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't think Fukuyama Masaharu is a genius musician.

After being a music producer for so long, I have dealt with many "geniuses".When Miwa-chan sang "Lovers Once a Week" for the first time, Shinichi Iwahashi felt hit. When he listened to Yasuyuki Okamura's song in the recording studio, he immediately felt his unbridled talent .

But these are not felt in Fukuyama Masaharu's music.

It's not that he has no musical talent, but the songs he writes are very ordinary.If you really want to say, among the pieces he handed over, there is no shortage of melodies that make people's ears shine. He is considered to be more talented among ordinary musicians, but he lacks talent and aura.

After listening to his songs, you can understand why he was first selected as an actor and not as a singer.If you really are a musical genius who makes people feel that you can't let go of it, you won't take the actor's way first.

However, although in terms of musical talent, Iwahashi Shinichi does not think he has picked up a genius—after all, geniuses are not available everywhere, but the songs he got for this album did not give him a low initial evaluation of Fukuyama Masaharu.

Because this young man showed a little self-knowledge and intelligence.

What Shinichi Iwahashi wanted was "an album", Fukuyama Masaharu was really able to hold his breath. He didn't choose ten favorite works from his own inventory regardless of 21, but really made an album according to the The idea of ​​the album, I chose an album that is immature, but can really see the overall feeling.

Based on this alone, Fukuyama Masaharu's vision and taste are definitely not bad.

With such a mentality, coupled with that kind of calm self-confidence, you are no ordinary person.

In the recording industry, there are not so many truly recognized geniuses, and even geniuses may not necessarily be popular.The one who is best at writing best-selling songs may be a "musician" who sets up best-selling song routines, and the creators who are not popular may often have amazing pens.

Among the popular singers, there are always more ones who know how to use their own advantages than those who rely on their talents.If you really want to say, if the pop music industry was a business that only allowed talents to enter, it would not be where it is today.

Similarly, for singers, it is aimed at ordinary listeners.What is welcome to the average audience is just the right amount of talent.Therefore, as long as there is an average level of talent, it is worth selling.

With talent higher than ordinary musicians, self-knowledge smartness, and good vision and taste, Iwahashi Shinichi felt that the card handed to him by Osato Yokichi had a lot of points.

Since Fukuyama Masaharu is a smart person...

Yanqiao Shen thought in his heart that the direction to start is to make him more intelligently.First of all, use this intelligence of Masaharu Fukuyama to assist him, and use this intelligence of self-knowledge to give full play to your own advantages.

If a solo singer wants to become popular, he must have a distinctive personal style.

And this distinctive personal style can be innate and cannot be ignored.It can also be presented to the public just right after ingenious design.

But no matter what, in Yanqiao Shenyi's heart, artificially creating a singer who sells people's designs is still a bad idea.

In particular, Fukuyama Masaharu is still an actor and a singer in parallel.Then, in order to formulate this route, it has to complement his career as an actor, and he cannot make things that are self-defeating and self-defeating.

After listening to Masaharu Fukuyama's "self-selected album", the first order Shinichi Iwahashi gave him was to assign him homework.

Type back this "self-selected album" and let him collect songs for another album.

The request made by Iwahashi Shinichi is to let Fukuyama Masaharu "only write songs that his own singing voice can control, and tailor general songwriting for himself."

Fukuyama Masaharu's singing skills are neither bad nor bad, and his vocal range is not wide. It's better not to let him roar on stage and act like a rock star.However, although the singing skills are not good, the voice is magnetic, full of charm, and highly recognizable, which is another kind of blessing from God.

Since he is a smart person with self-knowledge, then carry out this smartness to the end.

Make good use of this self-knowledge, tailor-made for yourself a song that complements his singing voice, and you can know it is his song as soon as you hear it.Matching songs and voices just right is a unique personal style.

Since Yokichi Osato was not in a hurry to see Masaharu Fukuyama's achievements, Shinichi Iwahashi slowly "tied up" him.

……

GENZO wants to sign Masaharu Fukuyama, before making an announcement to the public, Manyumi Watanabe must first know.Let her know that Yokichi Osato of AMUSE also intends to deepen cooperation with this side.

Masaharu Fukuyama first acted for Izumi Inamura, and then was signed to Shinichi Iwahashi. The two parties are considered to be destined.For a "Kitchen", Izumi Inamura won the Newcomer Award and was appreciated by famous directors. On the contrary, Masaharu Fukuyama didn't get any light.

However, previously, when making the movie, Yokichi Osato asked Wan Yumi and Iwahashi what their thoughts were on making a solo singer.Maybe I thought about it at that time, and someday I will hand over this record to you.

Watanabe Mayumi was half joking and half serious, "It's up to you next."

Yanqiao Shenyi shook his head, "It's as if it was pushed to me."

"Aren't you a golden hand?" Wanyumi Watanabe said to him.While lightly joking, he smiled and sent the cod into his mouth.

The two made an appointment to have dinner at Nanqingshan's restaurant.

Shinichi Iwahashi made an expression as if he had been slapped by something, "Please forgive me."

However, just kidding, now that the person has been signed, Iwahashi Shinichi is also working hard, trying to make something famous for Masaharu Fukuyama.It doesn't have to be big purple and big red, but it can't be signed.

Plan out a path that seems feasible to the outside world, and let the industry see that GENZO has a clear path to produce solo singers. Only in this way can more firms recognize the feasibility of cooperating with GENZO.

Mayumi Watanabe's sentence "It's up to you" is not just about how he made Masaharu Fukuyama popular.

"Speaking of which...Xiaohong looks at her wrist, Dahong still has to be a little lucky." Needless to say, I know it in my heart.As for Fukuyama Masaharu's marketing, what depends on the skills of GENZO and Shinichi Iwahashi.

Mayumi Watanabe remembered, and said, "There is another band entrusted to you by Junisan."

"That's different from Dali-san's side." Yanqiao Shinichi replied.

Osato Yokichi wants to deepen cooperation with GENZO, but Kitagawa Hiroko's band that has not yet confirmed its official list is better to say it is to test and stabilize Iwahashi Shinichi.

"Has the list been finalized yet?"

Shinichi Iwahashi said "Yes", "Shigeru Jojima is the scheduled captain, besides that, I've found two or three JRs." One is called Kokubun Taichi, one is called Nakajima Ryo, and the other is called Sakamoto Masayuki of……

Wanyumi Watanabe didn't get involved, just listen to it casually.

However, Yanqiao Shen said it, and smiled to himself, "Only I am useless, the decision is in Jenisan's hands. Forming a band for an idol agency is troublesome in these matters."

Kitagawa Hiroshi is not in a hurry for this idol band that was promised verbally and is under construction.

Right now, Johnny is busy preparing for SMAP's debut.This combination has high hopes and shoulders heavy responsibilities.It is also arranging the production of their debut single, and producing a group variety show for them on the TV station, investing a lot of money.

"Last time I went to NTV to talk about things, and I even had a face-to-face meeting with Julie." Mayumi Watanabe casually mentioned, "Julie resigned from the firm and now joins NTV's planning office..."

"It's not surprising at all." She stopped talking and teased him, "It's someone who is working with Johnny after all."

Yanqiao Shenyi surrendered, "Please spare me." This domineering president, if he really wants to make a sarcasm, his skills are also first-class.

Wanyumi Watanabe smiled lightly, but she didn't hold on to him after all.I didn't stay too long on this matter, and turned to another topic, "the outdoor music festival mentioned earlier."

This naturally comes to the tone of business affairs, as if they are talking about the same thing from beginning to end.

Yanqiao Shinichi said "Yes" and put away his smile, "Dari-san also said that he has an outdoor music festival to recommend, and he has a band from Xiangjiang to recommend."

"The band in Xiangjiang?"

"AMUSE intends to enter the Xiangjiang market, and the bands approached there." Shinichi Iwahashi explained briefly to her, "Anyway, since there is a music festival to be held, it is meaningless to only invite local bands."

Watanabe Wanyumi laughed at this, and remembered the rush of the first music festival and how to overcome difficulties.
