Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 889 889. The so-called price

After Iwahashi Shinichi returned home, he opened the bag that Akina Nakamori handed him before going out, and inside was the breakfast prepared for him.

She got up too early and had no appetite, so she made breakfast and asked him to take it away.

Sleep for two or three hours, then get up and prepare breakfast for him, and don't let him go out with an empty stomach, or at least not with empty hands.From Nakamori Akina's thoughtful care, Yanqiao Shinichi realized what it means for a woman to be so devoted to him.

However, realizing this did not make Iwahashi Shinichi feel complacent.On the contrary, from the contrast between her meticulousness in private and the occasional restraint and forbearance in her words and deeds, she also felt the strong self-esteem of Akina Nakamori.

Knowing this, Iwahashi Shinichi is full of anticipation for this album in cooperation, full of enthusiasm for the public relationship with her, and feels that no matter what he faces at that time, it will not be a problem.

Yanqiao Shinichi hadn't been to Nakamori Akina's house for a while, and the suit he was wearing had a faint smell of mothballs.There are many office workers in the apartment he lives in.When he went out from his own home again, the residents in the apartment had almost started their day's activities at this moment.

When we arrive at the company, we will have a meeting with the production team of Dahei Moji this morning.

The three-month short-term study in New York ended just a few days ago, and she just returned to Tokyo two days ago.Iwahashi Shinichi gave her a three-day vacation to rest, and then went into the recording studio to prepare for the production of her debut album and single.

When Maki Daikoku was sent to Los Angeles to work as a producer assistant for ZARD, Shinichi Iwahashi took the lead in building a production team for her in Tokyo.Like ZARD, he is the producer of Daikoku Morki.These two groups are currently the only two groups of singers in GENZO in which Shinichi Iwahashi is in charge of everything from planning to execution to music production.

At present, the debut date decided for her is late November or early December, which is enough time.

The team was formed early, and the various promotions for her debut had already begun to pave the way everywhere, just waiting for Dahei Moji to enter the recording studio, and before her debut, the manager of the record company would lead her to pay homage to various hills.Daikoku Moji's music is full of impact, and the debut plan prepared for her is particularly fanfare, and the related publicity funds are also the highest since GENZO was established.

Ordinary singers, after learning that their debut scale is the largest among the singers in the company, will show panic rather than happiness, for fear that their performance will not be satisfactory, and the publicity expenses will be in vain, which will also accelerate their being rejected. refrigeration.

But Daihemoji is different.She was not the kind of submissive character. She was born as a young lady, and she never really encountered any setbacks until she was introduced to BEING and Nagato Taiko gave her a belittling meal.Even being introduced to BEING is not considered a setback, but an episode.

Signed up as a subordinate of Shinichi Iwahashi, whom he had dreamed of since high school, and was encouraged by his high hopes.During this period, although Keiko Utoku made her debut one step ahead of her, she felt confused for a moment, but immediately went to Los Angeles as ZARD's producer assistant, and then studied in New York for three months. After returning, the ready team was waiting Arrange for her to record and debut.

There were a few minor twists and turns, but overall it went pretty smoothly.In this way, her self-confidence was well preserved.Therefore, even if she knows the scale of her debut, she can only be happy and her confidence that she will never let down Iwahashi-san.

This kind of thinking is exactly what Iwahashi Shinichi wanted.

A genius with full of personality like Dahei Moji, once his edges and corners are worn away, he will lose his charm.The more she maintains this "who else but me" momentum, the more she has the chance to occupy a place in the music world.

Contrary to her, it was Keiko Ude who had debuted for two months, from mid-May to the whole of June, and used this time to travel to broadcasting bureaus all over the country for publicity.

After entering July, the role of her traveling all over the country to do publicity began to show. There was no media publicity for her debut single when it was released. In these two months, she really moved from the back of the list to the top of the list. To the sixteenth.This ranking doesn't look high, but as the first single of a solo rookie, it's not too low either.What's more, the real large-scale publicity is just about to start.

After returning to Tokyo, the TV promotion prepared for Keiko Utoku was picked up immediately, the rainy season will be over soon, and the refreshing summer single is just about to show its charm in summer.As the No.1 label of GENZO and Stardust’s cooperative label, Utoku Keiko not only contributes from GENZO, but Stardust also pays close attention to it and actively cooperates with the publicity.

After all, Keiko Utoku is not only a new female solo, but also a signboard for the cooperation between GENZO and Stardust.

Thanks to traveling all over the country to do publicity, the news that GENZO and Stardust's sub-label will hold an undisclosed rookie audition in October has also spread throughout the country.

Now, the sub-label side can receive more than one hundred application forms for selection every day, and a special person is responsible for the initial screening, eliminating those that are too outrageous, and then sending out the notification letter for the preliminary selection.

To be busy with Dahei Moji, there is also a newcomer selection meeting for the sub-label.

Although the two groups of solo singers and bands who just debuted did not have to go through the hands of Shinichi Iwahashi, they also received the debut commission from Masaharu Fukuyama from Hirokichi Osato, and the idol band that Johnny's is going to form...

In his free time, he still has to interview the newcomers who sent the audition tapes to GENZO, so as to add fresh blood to the headquarters of GENZO.This July, and even the entire second half of the year, Yanqiao Shinichi has to be busy dealing with newcomers.

A clever woman can't cook without rice. Since it wants to expand its scale, it can do without everything, and newcomers with potential must never be without.

And to expand the scale, it is not just about launching more popular singers and changing to larger office buildings.

The distribution entrustment contract with JVC was renewed in September, but in mid-July, related negotiations had to start.Today, GENZO is no longer the small nameless company it was in the past, and some clauses have to be changed in order to renew the entrusted contract.In addition, reducing the commission for JVC's distribution of goods is also something that is not only confident, but also must be done.

Talking about the distribution entrustment contract, Iwahashi Shinichi pondered whether GENZO should also consider establishing its own independent distribution network in the future if it can gain a firm foothold.

Right now, GENZO has the ability to produce and distribute records, and has also withdrawn the production and distribution of videos, so it can be called a regular record company.As for the distribution network, if you have the strength to build a logistics company to distribute your own goods, you can count such companies on your fingers. Not to mention small companies, medium-sized companies also entrust distribution to outsourcers.

When it comes time to build an independent distribution network, it is not only a matter of burning money or effort, but also competing for share with those distribution companies.After all, when the distribution network is established, it will not only release GENZO's own records, but will also accept distribution commissions from other companies.If you accidentally stumble on this, you may have to ask the singers of the whole company to go on a concert tour to pay off the debt.

However, if you really can build your own distribution network, it may not just be used to distribute records or magazines.

Of course, small workshops can't do such a big thing, and now they are at best considering such a possibility.

But at the moment, to expand the scale, we have to consider the addition of new partners.With GENZO today, it is not difficult to find a new partner, but to find the right one, you have to think twice.

Especially in the current state where Taketa Printing Company is the hands-off shopkeeper, Manyumi Watanabe is fully cooperating, and Shinichi Iwahashi is the center of operation, and new forces join in, it may not be feasible to continue to maintain this state.

Although Yanqiao Shinichi is not the kind of person who wants to be a talker and guarantee that he is in power.However, before considering bringing this matter to the table, we must first figure out what GENZO needs now and in the future, and what its goals are in recent years.

……

Gossip magazines have to work every week, no matter whether the news is big or small.Small news is big news when there is no big news.Recently, the industry has been fairly calm, so the news that idol star Eisaku Yoshida and a VIVI model are in love has become big news and has been reported with great fanfare.

Rising idols, regardless of gender, must have an explanation for their scandals.Either the firm clarified on their behalf and silenced the reporters, or the firm ignored them, and the reporter's microphone was placed in front of the parties involved.

In short, it doesn't work if you want to muddle through like nothing happened.Not only that, but this rule is especially strict for idols.Whoever makes an idol eats this bowl of rice that treats himself as a commodity exhibition.The reporters at the moment were very tough, divided into groups, and even went to the hometowns of both men and women, took the same framed photos they took, and asked their parents what they thought of their children's love scandal.

If I really want to say, the reporter has done this level, in fact, more or less, it is already a little bit deliberately embarrassing Yoshida Eisaku and embarrassing this new idol school star.The bigger the noise, the higher the attention, the more viewers will see it.

Similarly, the more multiple interviews, the easier it is to cause the parties to be ugly.When being put in front of the camera, a little mistake is enough to lose a lot of favorability among the public.

As for whether the reporters did this simply because they were free, or because the firm’s management was not doing well, it caused retaliation, or the competitor’s firm took the opportunity to manage and ask the reporters to add more information, then it cannot be put on the table. It's over.

Yoshida Eisaku is such an idol who has just become popular and has a relatively weak foundation. It is impossible to say that he will not be affected.If you delay this little bit, you may give up the opportunity that is in front of you and let other colleagues take the lead.And after taking such a blow, what will happen next will also test the firm's ability to operate.

However, Yoshida Eisaku is somewhat lucky.When he was being chased and intercepted, the eyes of the public were attracted to another piece of gossip.The former Shibukaki team Yamaru Yuying and the female idol Ishikawa Hidemi, the two published a joint letter in the newspaper that they will get married, and announced that they will hold a wedding conference on Tokyo TV.

In terms of popularity, Yuying Yao and Hidemi Ishikawa are not as popular as Eisaku Yoshida, but the camels of the two are bigger than horses, and the announcement of the marriage is quite interesting, which really attracts the attention of the public Force to attract the past.

Because, Ishikawa Hidemi has been pregnant for nearly four months. After getting married, she will withdraw from the firm she belongs to and temporarily retire from the entertainment industry.

The pair of Yaoying Yuying and Ishikawa Hidemi were photographed at the end of last year as proof of their relationship. At the beginning of this year, it was reported that they were going to get married, but they were immediately denied by the agency. This time, no more, no less, it is the third time.

The so-called things are only three things, and gossip is the same.If the love newsletter is frequent, it will annoy the audience, especially if it is not a popular star or a couple that the public likes to see.

Having said that, there are really not many stars who can satisfy both "popularity" and "the public likes to see their love".

Generally speaking, if the marriage rumors are denied, it means that the two parties have at least been in contact.In addition, the reason why the firm came forward to deny it was because the company objected, or there were contract issues that were not clarified, so I temporarily issued a draft to be stable.

If it is the latter case, when the contract is clarified, the previous negation will be negated again, leading to marriage.But if it is the former, if you want to get married, you have to fight the firm to the end.

The pair of Ishikawa Hidemi and Yaoying Yuying is the former situation.

Yaowan Yuying became independent from Genesis long ago, and no one told him what to do.But for Ishikawa Hidemi, her firm strongly opposed it.

These two people who were determined to get married insisted on fighting against the firm, so they resorted to the killer trick of marrying their son to force the firm to release them.As a result of confronting the firm to the end, Hidemi Ishikawa quit the firm and retired temporarily.

This retreat took at least three years.Three years later, if he can reconcile with the firm and get back the right to use the name "Ishikawa Hidemi", then he can return.If the firm refuses to let her go, she must either change her stage name or retire to the end.

……

Halfway through the recording of the show, Nakamori Akina returned to the waiting room during the intermission. Assistant Momoi showed her a newspaper, "Does Akina-san know? Yaomaru-san and Ishikawa-san announced their marriage."

The little assistant followed Akina Nakamori, knowing that the two had a good relationship with her.

Akina Nakamori reacted first, then took the newspaper and read it, amazed.

Last time, when the 82nd group got together, Yao Maru Yuying faced Koizumi Kyoko's question and said half-heartedly, "We will see the result soon."

It has only been a month or two since he said that sentence, and it has indeed come very quickly.However, I didn't expect it to be this way.

In terms of time, Ishikawa Hidemi was already pregnant when she attended the party.These two people have been opposed by Ishikawa Hidemi's office since they were photographed at the end of last year. They are obviously determined to come to this point.

Both Ishikawa Hidemi and Yaoying Yuying have a good relationship with Nakamori Akina, and Nakamori Akina and Ishikawa Hidemi are even more friends.It is certainly worth being happy that friends can enter into marriage after dating for many years.

When she was reading the newspaper, she had already planned in her mind that she should call Ishikawa Hidemi later.But after another thought, at this moment, the phone calls of Ishikawa Hidemi and Yaoying Yuying were about to explode.

If I call today, it will probably cause trouble for Xiumi-chan...

Akina Nakamori even started thinking about what wedding gift to give them.Thinking about it, he couldn't help sighing slightly.
