Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1197
New trends, new partners, and new eras.

Misa Watanabe was speechless for a moment when she heard the news her daughter told her.After a while, he said, "Yanqiao's plan this time is too big."

Mother's evaluation may have hit the nail on the head.

Watanabe Wanyumi also admitted to her mother, "Yes. This new fashion envisioned by Iwahashi is completely different from the previous band craze."

Regardless of whether the band is popular or not, there will always be popular bands that sell well in the record market.There will never be a shortage of newcomers in the light music clubs of colleges and universities, and in the folk music clubs of universities. In the underground music circle, musicians who are willing to suffer poverty for their musical ideals will never stop.

In recent years, the popularity of bands has come. When GENZO started as a band and created popular bands one after another, other companies in the industry have also been launching their own popular bands.Each company has its own special skills, and talented musicians are constantly being discovered. This band craze that buried the idol era and ushered in a new era is the result of the joint efforts of the entire industry to burn to such an extent.

However, at this moment, the plan of Shinichi Iwahashi and Tetsuya Komuro, the new trend he wants to create, cannot let other companies in the industry participate in the same way as Band Fever, and let the fire burn more and more together. strong.

Centering on Tetsuya Komuro's music production concept, the popularity created in this way is not the popularity of a certain music style, but "Komuro Pop", and those who can enjoy this popularity are the cooperation with Tetsuya Komuro GENZO.

As a result, other companies cannot be expected to launch similar newcomers.The bands launched under Band Fever are bands with their own style, but the singers launched under Xiao Shi Fever are imitations of Xiao Shi's pop.This new fashion can only be enjoyed exclusively by GENZO, and cannot be shared by other companies in the industry to make the cake bigger.

When the band is hot, other companies in the recording industry can live in peace with GENZO, because the more popular bands, the more prosperous the band.But if the cake is exclusively enjoyed by a certain company, it will be difficult for the industry to sit by and watch.

If this new plan of Yanqiao Shinichi can't become a new trend created as imagined, that's another matter, but once it is really made by him this time, the future will never be the same as before. So easy when it comes to selling bands.

As soon as Wanyumi Watanabe mentioned Shinichi Iwahashi's plan, Misa Watanabe saw the problem.But at this moment, Watanabe Mayumi herself pointed out the problem, and Watanabe Misa couldn't help but nodded slightly, expressing a little appreciation.

Now that the mother and daughter understood what this "epidemic" meant, Misa Watanabe said directly, "It's not a bad thing to win over Kenyin."

Wanyumi Watanabe remained silent for a while, and did not express her position immediately.

But she also knows in her heart that if Shinichi Iwahashi devotes all his efforts to supporting Tetsuya Komuro, it means that GENZO will single-handedly provoke a new trend.This requires not only an unprecedented investment of resources, but also a considerable ability to resist blows.

Yanyin, which is backed by a strong consortium and is also quite powerful in the music publishing industry, is a good choice.

Watanabe Misa didn't care about her daughter's silence, and smiled, "Iwashi's ambition is always after being surprised by him, and then feeling again, he actually has such an ambition."

This time, Yanqiao Shinichi chose a completely different next step from the previous one.

Watanabe Wanyumi looked at her mother who was showing admiration, and commented, "Iwahashi has been making progress. The farther he steps forward, the more he sees, and he acts naturally and changes accordingly."

"There are not many people who are not immersed in success, but show the courage to go further." Misa Watanabe praised.

Wanyumi Watanabe couldn't help laughing, her tone was brisk, "In my memory, this is the first time I heard my mother praise Yanqiao so straightforwardly."

"Really?" Misa Watanabe was a little surprised.

Wanyumi Watanabe nodded, "Although I knew that my mother admired Iwabashi in the past, she hasn't been praising Iwabashi like this now."

"Praises all the time?" Misa Watanabe made her daughter laugh.She looked at her daughter with such an expression that Watanabe Wanyumi felt that she was a child who was jealous of other children.

Realizing this, Watanabe Mayumi lowered her head and avoided her mother's gaze.

"Watanabe Productions has gained a lot from the band boom in the past few years because of its participation in the band boom."

Misa Watanabe put away her smile, and talked to Wanyumi Watanabe.In addition to the profits from GENZO, there is also the name of holding the copyright of the Women's Rock Music Festival.

"GENZO has gained a firm foothold in the record industry, and continues to operate in a stable manner. It is still a medium-sized record company. But Yanqiao, this time, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it must bear considerable pressure."

Watanabe Misa's tone was flat, and she was analyzing with her daughter.Without Mayumi Watanabe's support, Shinichi Iwahashi would not be able to realize his plan, but the cooperation between the two has been maintained for many years, and since then, there has been a rift that is difficult to repair.

Supporting Shinichi Iwahashi, he succeeded, and Watanabe will join him in meeting the impact from the record industry.If he fails, Watanabe will bear the loss together.

"However," Wanyumi Watanabe was finally led by his mother, and finished the other half of the sentence, "If Iwahashi succeeds this time, GENZO will go to a higher level. In the future, the goal is to be the top record company in the industry."

"If he fails..." Wanyumi Watanabe paused, "He needs to take responsibility and give Watanabe an explanation."

"So," Misa Watanabe asked directly, "This time, will you still support Iwahashi?"

Mayumi Watanabe looked at her mother.The eyes of mother and daughter met, and she showed a gentle smile to her mother, "Mother, as long as Yanqiao and I have common goals and common interests, when I think a proposal is feasible, I don't have a second answer."

Even if we have to share risks and face challenges together.

However, the last time she asked Iwahashi Shinichi to take responsibility for failure was when she met him for the first time. Iwahashi Shinichi was still a new manager and boldly proposed to make Matsumoto Akiko transform into an artist.

Looking back at the past, Mayumi Watanabe couldn't help feeling that the wheel of fate was turning again.

But she also knew clearly that the turntable of fate—this thing was not reliable.If Yanqiao Shinichi's ambition fails this time, he must give an explanation to Watanabe and pay the price he should pay.

This is not because she suddenly became tough, but because, up to now, it is not only she herself, but the entire Watanabe clan who has a cooperative relationship with Iwahashi Shinichi.Just as he was still an agent in the firm, she represented Watanabe Productions.

"I'm a bit of a lucky man, Mother," she said half-jokingly, half-seriously, thinking of it. "I voted for Rock Bridge, and he never failed me once."

Misa Watanabe laughed at her daughter's words, "With you saying that, I have a lot of confidence in this cooperation."

Yanqiao Shinichi is ambitious, and the Watanabe family knows this very well.From his attitude towards BURNING, you can tell that he is not the kind of person who lives under others.

To challenge BURNING, it is certainly not enough to be the head of a mid-sized independent label.Today, Zhou Fang Yuxiong is indeed scruples about the complex forces behind GENZO and dare not act rashly, but BURNING is powerful, and GENZO cannot challenge it.The relationship between the two families is only maintained at a level of peace and harmony.

Yanqiao Shenyi wants to make his business bigger, unite a new alliance, and take away BURNING's dominance. Naturally, he wants to take risks and do things that are risky but rewarding after success.

Today, Iwahashi Shinichi is about to take another new step after gaining a firm foothold.When this step is taken, the relationship between the Watanabe family and the Yanqiao family will usher in a new change.

Yanqiao Shinichi is no longer alone, he is already a force that cannot be underestimated in the industry.

"Mother." Wanyumi Watanabe asked suddenly, "If my father could know what I have done in the past few years, would he be happy for me?"

"Of course." Misa Watanabe replied quickly and affirmatively, "Your father said that Wan Yumi can keep the spark of innovation in the Watanabe family... With your current achievements, it can be seen that he always has a first-class eye for people."

Mayumi Watanabe nodded, showing a trace of satisfaction, "I'm at ease when you say that."

"Anxin?" Watanabe Misa was slightly surprised by her words.

Watanabe Wanyumi rarely showed the look of a child in front of her mother.But she quickly put away this childishness, straightened her body, and replied to her mother, "I didn't go the wrong way." Her tone was extremely certain.

Therefore, this time, I also believe in Iwahashi Shinichi, and I am willing to vote for him again.This is not only trust in Yanqiao Shinichi, but also confidence in herself.

Such firmness made Watanabe Misa feel a little admiration for her daughter's self-confidence for a moment.

……

In the first lunar month, when Iwahashi Shinichi returned to his hometown in Shizuoka, he announced to his parents, sister and brother-in-law that he was going to get married.Before getting married, the parents of both parties also have to meet and see each other according to the custom.

Although in today's era, there are many newlyweds who notify their parents after naturalization, or even get married for a period of time, and there are many newlyweds whose parents have not met, but when it comes to life-long events, neither Iwahashi Shinichi nor Nakamori Akina Such new human beings who pursue casualness and live their own lives.

On the one hand, it was Akina Nakamori who reported the marriage to the office, and on the other hand, Shinichi Iwahashi was in charge of arranging for the parents and Chieko to meet each other.

Chieko and Akio Nakamori have divorced, and Shinichi Iwahashi communicated with his parents in advance and informed them of this.Not only that, neither the pre-marriage discussions nor the preparations for the marriage will involve Akio Nakamori.

For excluding his biological father in this way, Yanqiao Jiangming felt a little bit injustice as his father, "Anyway, isn't it a little too much to be so merciless?"

The person in charge of communicating with Iwahashi Shinichi was his mother Iwahashi Chiyo. Iwahashi Masaki's words failed to reach his son, but he got his wish. When it came to being merciful, I didn't think about whether it was too much."

Yanqiao Jiangming was not convinced, "Can parents and children be the same?"

Iwahashi Chiyo asked back, "What's the difference?"

Her tone was light and delicate, and her attitude of being ready to accept a move with ease made Yanqiao Jiangming speechless. ... I also know that the more long-winded I am, the more my wife will make a fuss.

"You yourself are still a wife and a mother." Yanqiao held Ming for a long time, and only said this.

Iwahashi Chiyo replied, "It is precisely because I am also a wife and a mother myself."

That's why I realized how difficult it was for Qian Huizi to make such a decision.It can also be understood that Nakamori Akina would rather bear the reputation of not recognizing his father, but also draw a clear line with Nakamori Akino, such a decision.

Although speaking for Nakamori Akina, Iwahashi Chiyo may not fully agree with Chieko and Nakamori Akina's mother-daughter approach.However, even if they cannot agree, they should retain the basic respect for their choices.

Yanqiao Masamune paid a little attention, it's not that he doesn't know what kind of "character" Nakamori Akina's father is.

Firstly, it wasn't necessary, since he had nothing to do with his son's marriage anyway.Secondly, Akina Nakamori didn't have his father present, making it clear that the mothers on both sides played the leading role in this meeting, and he himself was the one who carried it along.

He can't discuss with Nakamori Akina's mother, or chat with her about office workers, right?
That being the case, it is even more impossible to evaluate the actions of the mother and daughter opposite.

Yanqiao Chiyo has been with her husband for decades, and no one knows her husband better than her.The husband and wife talked about it, but they knew in their hearts that Yanqiao Jiangming's opinion was at most just lip service.And, still complain to her.

Knowing this, she stopped immediately and changed her words, "Anyway, each family has its own situation, and we have no right to be picky."

The wife said soft words, and Yanqiao climbed up when there was a pole, and then said, "I'm not picky."

"Well," Chiyo Iwahashi nodded, "it's just lip service, right?"

Yanqiao Jiangming put on his reading glasses and flipped through the newspaper, "I knew it earlier, so I wouldn't say it."

He was deflated, and when his wife turned his back, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and went to call Yanqiao Shinichi again, and told his son the result of the old couple's discussion, and asked him to make arrangements.

"At that time, your father and I will take the express train to Tokyo." Chiyo Iwahashi, who was talking to her son on the phone, could not hear the aftermath of the quarrel with her husband just now.

"By the way," Iwahashi Chiyo added before hanging up the phone, "Say hello to Akina-chan for me too."

Yanqiao Shinichi on the other end of the phone, when he heard his mother's instructions, he smiled and agreed, "When Akina comes home, tell her the first thing."

Iwahashi Chiyo felt it was exaggerated.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi knew that if she really conveyed this to Akina Nakamori, she would definitely be happy.
