Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1308 1309. More Than One

Long serial comics, after accumulating a certain amount of popularity, have the opportunity to be animated.After that, depending on the popularity of the manga itself and the ratings of the animation, it will be decided how many seasons to produce.

In the agreement reached between Shinichi Iwahashi, TV Asahi and Toei Animation, GENZO is responsible for the music production of the animation adapted from "Slam Dunk".

In other words, no matter how many seasons the animation is serialized, GENZO will be responsible for the music production of the animation.

And this contract only includes animation music, if "Slam Dunk" releases a theatrical version, the producer may entrust other companies for specific music production.However, the producer has the right to use the original music soundtrack of the animation in the theatrical version.Of course, usage fees will be paid.

When the animation decides to make it, it is not uncommon to package and sign out the music production rights of the animation, and a certain record company is responsible from the beginning to the end.In other words, this is a way that can save the animation producer a lot of trouble.

Now, in the hands of GENZO, there is also the right to make music for the anime "Chibi Maruko-chan".

For the record company, when a manga is about to be adapted into an animation, it is also a matter of luck to negotiate and win the music production rights of the animation.

Unlucky, the comics went up and down, and the ratings of the animation were not good, and the final season was cut in half.

But if the comics are popular in Changhong, the animation ratings are high, the end is far away, and there is a contract in hand, then there will be a stable long-term meal ticket.

Now is the time for GENZO to be in the limelight. The record company in its heyday, when negotiating cooperation, is also very smooth.On the one hand, the strength of the company is sufficient, on the other hand, the management of Jin Yuan's offensive is also thoughtful.

The industry is such a place where the strong get stronger.

……

After winning the music production rights of the "Slam Dunk" animation, Shinichi Iwahashi contacted Wanyumi Watanabe and told her about it.

After all, in this matter, Watanabe Wanyumi, who has been paying attention to the information related to the animation adaptation, has contributed a lot.

The two met in Mayumi Watanabe's office.On this trip, in addition to telling Wanyumi Watanabe about the music production rights of the "Slam Dunk" animation, the two also had to chat about the work arrangements of several singers under their banner for the next half year.

As soon as they met, Wanyumi Watanabe poured "Congratulations."

She still remembered the reason why Shinichi Yanqiao found her and asked her to pay attention to the animation information of "Slam Dunk". At this moment, she casually used it to ridicule him, "Congratulations, I can realize my bad taste."

Let a football song written by Dai Kuroki become the theme song of basketball animation.Anyone who hears this kind of reason will probably feel that he is baffled.

Yanqiao Shinichi smiled and defended himself, "Isn't it an excellent topic to use the song of football as the theme song of basketball animation?"

One of the secrets to making a TIE-UP song sell well in the future is not to stick too closely to the plot.Only when the music is independent, can it also impress the audience after breaking away from the plot.As long as the atmosphere can match the plot, that's enough.

A few days after Iwahashi Shinichi returned to work, he first promoted the production plan of a Goku movie, and then won the music production rights for the animation "Slam Dunk". He teased, "Speaking of which, Shen Yi-kun is really motivated."

Yanqiao Shinichi returned her sentence, "I've said everything, and it's time to be busy next time."

This sentence is what he said when Wanyumi Watanabe asked him if he wanted to rest for a few days after he was attacked.

Wanyumi Watanabe remembered, smiled slightly, and didn't answer.

Yanqiao Shen paused, and told her, "Now, when I go in and out, there are people nearby who are secretly protecting me." He said, mocking himself, "Like a nouveau riche."

Mayumi Watanabe joked with him, "Isn't it?"

Yanqiao Shinichi laughed, "That makes sense." He sarcastically said, "Compared to me, Manyumi-san is a descendant of a famous family."

"So," Watanabe Mayumi took his words easily, "I feel relaxed when I go in and out."

Iwahashi Makoto admired her ability to answer the conversation, "As expected of Manyumi-san."

"Come on less." Watanabe Mayumi could of course hear his sarcasm. The sentence just now was not so much a boast as a self-deprecating one.She said, "The art world was born in just a few decades, so there is no real famous family."

When Iwahashi heard what she said, he said instead: "Manyumi-san guards the fire made by Watanabe, who in the industry doesn't think that the Watanabe family is a famous family in the entertainment world?"

In fact, just participating in the formulation of the rules of the modern entertainment industry, the Watanabe family is a famous family in the industry.But Yanqiao Shinichi chose not to mention these things.

After hearing this sentence, Wanyumi Watanabe was noncommittal.

It is not clear whether this conversation is a joke or not, so stop here.

There was a slight silence between the two of them.

Watanabe Wanyumi has many doubts about the attack on Iwahashi Shinichi.However, the more doubtful it is, the more difficult it is for Yanqiao Shinichi to ask any questions without opening his mouth.

Yanqiao Shen opened his mouth again and again, and then turned the topic to the work arrangements of the singers under his banner for the next half year.

Next year will be the fifth anniversary of DREAMS COME TRUE's debut, and the year after that, the second round of outdoor circus tour will begin.To celebrate the fifth anniversary, plus audience votes from the circus tour, a new album will be released in November.

And as a warm-up, between the end of September and the beginning of October, a pre-release single will be released as the beginning of the [-]th anniversary celebration plan.

The production of the new album is scheduled to start at the end of August. According to production practice, the production of this pre-release single will be carried out simultaneously with the production of the album.

However, until now, the selection of songs for the new album has not yet been finalized.

Although Miwa-chan and Nakamura have hundreds of songs in their back-box inventory, when making a new album, for a ten-song album, the number of stock songs and new songs is three and seven respectively.

The band is at its peak right now, and the creativity of Miwa-chan and Nakamura is also at its peak. Using stock songs is a lazy and unprogressive approach.

The band was at its peak, and the number of advertisers who invited the band to commercial songs was enough for the firm to pick and choose. For an album scheduled to contain ten songs, all ten songs had already been booked for TIE-UP.

Because next year's circus tour needs sponsors, when discussing the TIE-UP of this album, it is carried out at the same time as the sponsorship of next year's concert.Half of the advertisers for this album's song TIE-UP will also sponsor next year's concert.

In addition to celebrating the fifth anniversary of the band's debut, there is also a contract renewal.

Back then, he signed a five-year record contract with Sony, and a five-year management contract with Mayumi Watanabe.Next year, the first contract will expire.

The current sales of DREAMS COME TRUE are at the level of monsters in the entire industry.A single album sold 200 million copies and a single album sold 300 million copies, both records were set by the band.

Such a giant cash cow, even though Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe will not make a decision to transfer the band considering the long-term cooperation with Sony, but the new contract will increase the share and take the highest-end producer share. All must be discussed.

The record contract will be renewed, and the management contract on Watanabe Wanyumi's side will also be renewed.

Talking about the work arrangement of DREAMS COME TRUE from the second half of the year to next year, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help thinking of Koji Takeyama who yelled "KIRIN-san!" at him.

The reason why that person was encouraged was his obsession with exposing the true identity of the giraffe man.

……

In the second half of the year, Mami Mimitsu will debut as a solo singer.

Asami Yonemitsu's agency contract, this time, was also signed to Mayumi Watanabe.For the singers who debuted in the past few years, except for the contract of Daikoku Maki, the management contracts of others were dispersed by Iwahashi Shinichi, and this time, they returned to Watanabe Mayumi.

With the start of Daihemoji, the public has considerable expectations for female solo singers with powerful voices and talents.

This Mimitsu Asami, in terms of talent, is not inferior to Dai Kuromoki.Not only that, but she was born in a classical composer, although now she has changed the track and entered the pop music world, but the experience she has accumulated as a classical composer since she was a child has added a unique characteristic to her songs.

It’s not enough just to write good songs. If you debut as a singer-songwriter and can write songs with your own distinctive characteristics, you will have a better chance of occupying a place in the industry.

Sign the brokerage contract to Wanyumi Watanabe, and Wanyumi Watanabe will follow Mami Yonemitsu's debut.Although she said that "a layman does not participate in the affairs of an expert", after the insider has made a debut plan, her firm must cooperate with it to implement it.

For Asami Mimitsu's debut, Shinichi Iwahashi's plan for her debut is quite satisfactory.A single with the theme song of a prime-time TV series, and a small "national tour" through the performance at the LIVEHOUSE under his name.

Although Daikoku Moki and Yonemitsu Asami are two completely different types of styles, both of them are "creative female SOLO", and they are both ugly female singers.

The audience still had an impression of Dahei Moji's vigorous debut at that time.If there is another debut method like the promotion of Dahei Moji, which turns out to be out of nowhere, the effect among the public will definitely be reduced.

In Yanqiao Shinichi's view, this kind of publicity method can be used again, but it should not be used on a singer-songwriter.

On the one hand, it is an ordinary and traditional way of debut for Asami Yonemitsu. On the other hand, after the disco dance conference at Wangan Plaza ends in the second half of the year, and after the fame of Tetsuya Komuro and his dance music has been made famous, this new producer will come back again. Introducing new singers.

Generally speaking, when a record company wants to launch a newcomer, they have to sign him at least half a year in advance and give him some training.For strict companies, or newcomers with high expectations, sometimes the training period can last as long as one or two years.During this period, the company will explore the characteristics of newcomers, so that after their debut, they can leave a clear impression on the audience among the newcomers.

However, this time, Tetsuya Komuro plans to launch a new singer in the second half of the year, but until now, he has not even made a decision on who the newcomer will be.

His plan is to determine who the right newcomer is while deciding to launch a newcomer.A new plan that can be said to be fresh, bold, or nonsense.

Regarding this approach, within GENZO, there are many objections to Tetsuya Komuro, but Shinichi Iwahashi gave Komuro Tetsuya enough autonomy, enough for him to go his own way and take this unique step.

When selling other newcomers, the consideration is how to discover the characteristics of the newcomers.But for Tetsuya Komuro, he is looking for a container that can accommodate his musical ambitions.

If it weren't for full self-confidence and narcissism, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come up with such an idea.

But on the other hand, the reason why Shinichi Iwahashi wants to host a dance party for Tetsuya Komuro that made him famous all over the world is to satisfy his narcissism.Tetsuya Komuro's unprecedented way of doing things was just acquiesced by Shinichi Iwahashi.

"No matter what kind of newcomer Komuro-san chooses, I'm not surprised." Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned something to Mayumi Watanabe.

Wanyumi Watanabe is very smart. Although she did not participate in the cooperation between Shinichi Iwahashi and Tetsuya Komuro, she already understood in the communication with Shinichi Iwahashi, "The focus is on Komuro-san, not the newcomers."

"Exactly." Yanqiao nodded cautiously.

Wanyumi Watanabe thought for a while, and suddenly commented, "It's like a test for the audience."

"Test?" Shinichi Iwahashi was amazed by her words.

Wanyumi Watanabe smiled, "No matter what kind of singer, as long as they sing Komuro-san's songs, they will be accepted by the audience."

Iwahashi Shinichi really laughed, "That's because Komuro-san's songs can shine in this era." It's not that they are trying to get the public to accept Komuro's songs, but the public needs Komuro's songs.

Wanyumi Watanabe thought of the popularity of TRF in discos across the country, and nodded slightly, "That's right."

When the waiter came over to change the tea, she realized it later and felt dry mouth.

Ever since the two met, they talked about one thing after another.Watanabe Mayumi picked up the teacup and sipped the tea.Yanqiao Shinichi also stopped the business topic, stretched his legs in front of her, and let out a long sigh of relief.Wanyumi Watanabe saw his appearance and joked casually, "It looks like a big event has just been completed."

Yanqiao Shenyi took his time and joked with her, "What we talked about just now was more than just 'one' big thing."

Watanabe Wanyumi couldn't answer this sentence, and it was rare for him to choke, and replied: "It's really quite fussy."

Iwahashi Shinichi laughed at her comment.

For a while, the two of them didn't talk to each other.

Yanqiao Shen glanced at his watch and suddenly mentioned, "Akina and I are naturalized."

Wanyumi Watanabe reacted to his sudden speech, swallowed her tea, and commented, "Now, another big thing has been said."

Gently and skillfully, she picked up what Yanqiao Shinichi had just said, and returned it to him in turn.
