Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1307. 1308. Rock Bridge Thank You
After Yanqiao Shinichi returned to work, the first important thing was to contact the person in charge of the production company, urging to confirm the production of that extreme movie as soon as possible.

Previously, when he proposed this plan at the meeting, it was not immediately approved.This was expected by Shinichi Iwahashi, he didn't say the same thing in the production company as he did in GENZO, such a big event naturally had to go through several rounds of bargaining.

And in itself, the reason why he put this movie on the stage was to create a reason for him to approach the Inagawa Club in a fair and honest manner.

Now, the event has been decided.The more so, this extreme film must be produced.Only when the film is finished and it serves as an introduction to the conversation with the Inagawa Society, the mission will be considered complete.

He had just encountered such a major event as the attack, and as a result, as soon as he resumed work, he immediately focused on the Goblin movie.With such a style, the cadres of the production company can see from it that Iwahashi Shinichi's determination is imperative.

In fact, after the news of the attack on Shinichi Iwahashi, among the cadres of the production company, there were whispers of a possibility: the person who attacked Shinichi Iwahashi might be someone from the Inagawa Society.As for the reason for attacking him--Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to make such a movie, and even went to the Inagawa Association to collect materials. Such an approach angered the yakuza.

There will be such a guess, and it is not that the cadres of the production company are guessing out of thin air.Because just about a month ago, director Itami Shisan was attacked by members of the Goto-gumi of the Yakuza organization because he was filming a Yakuza movie. He was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital. He is still recuperating.

The Goto group was very dissatisfied with Itami Jusan's depiction of the Yakuza as a bullying villain in "The Daughter of Civil Violence", so they retaliated against him, and proved Itami Jusan's film was not deliberately discredited.

There is such a precedent not long ago that people have to think about it.

Although compared with Itami Shisan, who was attacked by five people and was seriously injured, Shinichi Iwahashi, who was not in any danger in the incident, did not seem to be so brutal when he was attacked, but other than that, there was nothing more serious. Reasonable explanation -

Perhaps the reason why this time it was just a near miss was because the movie hadn't started production yet, and this attack was just a warning from the Inagawa Association.

After Iwahashi Shinichi was attacked, the first thing he did when he returned to work was to decide on the production of this movie. This way of competing with this movie to the end seems to make him attacked by people from the Inagawa Society. The argument is more convincing.

And if we say that before, everyone still secretly thought that making such a movie was a narcissism of Yanqiao Shinichi's whim, but after he almost got knocked out of his head, he still insisted on making this movie. In the movie, the Yanqiao Shinichi at this moment, in the eyes of everyone, is a person who opposes the extremists and never bows his head.

Not only that, after being attacked, he went back to work as if nothing had happened, and the first job he thought of was to make a goku movie. This kind of style also made everyone feel that Shinichi Iwahashi's heart may be as hard-core as his appearance.

Besides, he is a dignified figure in the industry, if he is threatened because he intends to make a goblin movie, and he admits defeat, it would be too embarrassing.Even for the sake of saving face, Iwahashi Shinichi will definitely carry this matter through to the end.

Things have become a foregone conclusion, there is no point in bargaining.It's better to pass quickly, everyone is happy.

This time, Iwahashi Shinichi met with the production company for a meeting, and there was no delay in planning for this extreme film, and it was approved immediately.

However, for the production of a movie, the approval of the production plan can only be regarded as digging a hole in place, and nothing else.

This movie will be produced on the basis of the script written by Yuki Mitani. Now, Yuki Mitani is a screenwriter who has signed an exclusive contract with Fuji TV. Therefore, the distribution of the film after production can also be entrusted to Fuji TV station.

Japanese TV stations have what they want.

The screenwriter decided to use Mitani Yuki, and the director's choice had to be decided.

Now that a new screenwriter has been hired, maybe it will be more in tune with a fresh director.In the heyday of Ren Xia movies, those directors who made more than a dozen Ren Xia films a year, no matter how famous they are at the moment, are not suitable for Yanqiao Shinichi.

For this kind of script, Yanyin and U-MIZ, the two firms that have the right to choose first, do not have suitable actors at the moment. When the time comes, they will definitely exchange resources with other firms.

Shinichi Iwahashi, the nominal chief producer, has very important opinions in the selection of actors.

But other than that, he never intervenes in the specific production of the film, implementing the most truthful principle he learned when watching the adaptation of "Kitchen" led by Wanyumi Watanabe: laymen should not interfere with experts.This is especially true when it comes to filmmaking.

The film, which might have had to be negotiated until July to settle the dust, was finalized in late June.From the preparatory work in the early stage to the shooting in the middle, the whole cycle is about three months.Shinichi Iwahashi is named the chief producer, but in terms of specific execution, someone will naturally run errands for him, screen for him in advance, and then send the options to be decided to him.

Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to meet Mitani Yuki as soon as possible, but after thinking about it, he decided to contact Mitani Yuki after the director was finalized, and the three parties met to discuss and supplement the script in more detail.

Although Shinichi Iwahashi is an outsider, in a sense, he has a considerable say in this script.

……

After getting rid of the atmosphere of bargaining, he quickly settled this important matter. As soon as the meeting was over, Yanqiao Shinichi felt physically and mentally comfortable and in a good mood.

This is not only because I feel refreshed after the content of my plan is passed, but also a kind of physical and mental comfort that has returned to the right track.

Back on track, his work schedule began to rotate again.

On the same day, they held a meeting for the production of the film, and went to meet the producers of the record company to hear about the work arrangements of their singers for the second half of the year. In the evening, GENZO held a reception, and Shinichi Iwahashi also made an appearance.

The reception tonight had been finalized a week ago.The hosts were TV Asahi and Toei Animation, as well as several executives from Shueisha, in order to win the right to produce music for the "Slam Dunk" animation.

Today, the recording industry has come out of the slump of the 80s and made a lot of money in this era of bursting bubbles. Therefore, the entertainment from the record company is also quite luxurious.

After receiving the information from Watanabe Wanyumi that the manga will be animated, Iwahashi Shinichi immediately started preparations, and immediately finalized the music production of the animation.

During this period, the two parties have had several contacts. The relationship between GENZO and TV Asahi has been good for many years, and they have been paying attention to the animation of this manga in many ways, and they are the fastest action among all record companies.

The animation is produced by Toei Animation. Unlike the animations produced by Sony, which must choose Sony singers to sing the theme song, others cannot intervene. TV Asahi is willing to nod, and the music production rights are also going smoothly, which is not difficult.

GENZO also has experience in producing animation music for "Chibi Maruko-chan" and the successful release of "Let's Dance Together", which is not completely without experience in animation music production.

Although the famous song came out after Oda Tetsuro, Nagato Taiyuki, who was still in charge of BEING at that time, was responsible for the specific production. However, the one responsible for the distribution, packaging and marketing was Shinichi Iwahashi's GENZO.

The outside world thinks that Tetsuro Oda is a genius composer, but this song from a genius composer has indeed reached a higher level under the sales strategy of Iwahashi Shinichi.

As long as Fuji TV recognizes GENZO's contribution to "Chibi Maruko", then this is the achievement that GENZO can use externally.

Iwahashi Shinichi still maintains occasional contact with Oda Tetsuro.Earlier, at Iwahashi Shinichi's birthday party, Oda Tetsuro, who didn't like to join in the fun, even showed his face at his birthday party for the first time.

Today, Tetsuro Oda is concentrating on the girl named Saeki Misa, hoping that she can debut as a singer.

That girl was discovered at the selection meeting hosted by GENZO. In order to persuade her to keep in touch with Oda Tetsuro, Iwahashi Shinichi personally went to Osaka to meet Saeki Misa's family.

With such a relationship, Oda Tetsuro occasionally called Iwahashi Shinichi, met for a drink, told him about Misa Saeki's recent movements, and showed him new songs written by Misa Saeki.

Oda Tetsuro's creative power is very strong, and this time is undoubtedly the peak period of his creation.

Misa Saeki himself, after dropping out of school, is now working at a gas station. Although he is not as repulsive as he was at the beginning, he does not show any clear interest in becoming a singer.

However, most of the songs composed by Tetsuro Oda for her are fine works.

Maybe it was because Saeki Misa was not moved that inspired Oda Tetsuro's exuberant inspiration.

However, through the communication with Oda Tetsuro, Iwahashi Shinichi believes that the appearance of Saeki Misa brought the biggest change to Oda Tetsuro is that it made Oda Tetsuro firm in his new way of doing things.

This talented composer focused on composing music in the past few years, and later became interested in being a producer.But now, after meeting Saeki Misa, he has decided not only to be a music producer, but also to be the chief producer.

When Oda Tetsuro had such an idea, Iwahashi Shinichi was convinced that he would definitely leave VERMILLION.As long as he can realize his idea, he would rather pay some price.

Yanqiao Shinichi thought in his heart that at the right time, he would help Oda Tetsuro to draw a line between him and VERMILLION.

However, he had no intention of poaching Oda Tetsuro to GENZO.

This is not because the BURNING department stands behind the VERMILLION record, but because it is unreasonable for such an artist to keep him by his side.

If you treat him too intimately and obey him, then, sooner or later, GENZO will also become a stumbling block preventing Tetsuro Oda from realizing his ideas.When getting along with such an artist, if you want to respect his ideas, you have to respect them all the way to the end, otherwise, one day, it will become difficult to get along well with him.

Yanqiao Shen thought to himself, instead of recruiting him under his own hands, it is better to help him become independent.

Let Oda Tetsuro be independent and have his own personal firm in the industry.Afterwards, Shinichi Iwahashi can go to him to invite a song, and initiate a cooperation invitation to his firm through the record company.

Anyway, Tetsuro Oda is an artist full of personality. Even if his contract is in GENZO, if he refuses to make a song, Shinichi Iwahashi can't help it.It's better to use this method to maintain cooperation, everything is clear, and the relationship between the two parties can also maintain a good relationship.

And let Oda Tetsuro be independent-in this way, there will be less resistance to letting him leave VERMILLION Records.

However, for VERMILLION, whether Oda Tetsuro will contribute music to VERMILLION's singers in the future depends on Oda Tetsuro's own wishes.

But for GENZO, Tetsuro Oda is independent, and Shinichi Iwahashi can justifiably ask him to invite songs. From now on, singers of the GENZO department will have an additional source of songs.

For this attack, Zhou Fangyuxiong's BURNING suppressed the news.Since Zhou Fang Yuxiong had done him such a great favor, after Yanqiao Shenyi passed, he must thank him face to face.

At that time, as a reward for Zhou Fang Yuxiong's generous help this time, Iwahashi Shinichi is willing to advise him to handle the relationship between Oda Tetsuro and VERMILLION Records.

……

This time, there was no other competitor in the fight for the music production rights of "Slam Dunk", and the author of the manga, Takehiko Inoue himself, as a newcomer, still has no right to speak about the animation adaptation of this manga.

For Shinichi Iwahashi, the condition he negotiated with the producer and the TV station is that after winning the music production rights of "Slam Dunk", at least three groups of popular singers will be assigned to be responsible for the production of the opening theme song and the end theme theme song respectively. one of them.

But for the selection of singers other than this, it is up to GENZO to decide. Perhaps, Shinichi Iwahashi will use the opening and ending songs of this animation to promote its newcomers.

Of course, according to the usual practice, he still transferred the original copyright of the opening and ending songs to TV Asahi, ensuring cooperation with GENZO and employing GENZO singers is a sure thing for the TV station.

It is precisely because the cooperation has almost been finalized that this solemn reception was held. From the TV station to the animation producer to the publishing house, everyone was present.

In the past ten years, the singer's intensive promotional model has gone forever, and the shadow of the world's downturn has already been reflected in the investment of advertisers in TV stations. Opportunities have decreased, and the importance of TIE-UP has become unprecedented.

The theme songs of popular manga adaptation animations, although not as good as the theme songs of prime-time TV dramas, are undoubtedly a resource worth fighting for.

Big things have to be done one by one.
