Flying over the bubble era

1451 Chapter 1452. Subtle understanding
Again, going to Tokyo.

This time, though, was different from every previous one.In the future, there will never be the same mood as this time.

People who regard Tokyo as a stage to realize their dreams, with apprehensive longing for the future and a slight melancholy of leaving their hometown, approach the center of Tokyo from all directions.There are countless songs and TV series about Shangjing, but for Ayumi Hamasaki, who is still a girl, these seem a bit distant and incomprehensible.

For her, the motivation to go to Tokyo comes from a rebellious idea.

For a small office operating locally in Fukuoka, it is a dream to be able to catch up with the GENZO department and the Watanabe department.Itself, a small office far away in Fukuoka, does not have much influence in the local area, and it is not easy to climb up to the power in Tokyo.

Although Ayumi Hamasaki's firm has some connections with the firm affiliated with the Yiying Department, they have neither alliance nor deep friendship with each other.

Now, Shinichi Iwahashi has taken a fancy to Ayumi Hamasaki, and personally came forward to ask for someone, which happened to be an excellent opportunity to make contact.The office in Fukuoka gave up Ayumi Hamasaki's contract almost without thinking.

Cut off before the contract will be finalized, Yanqiao Shinichi will bring criticism from the industry to himself by doing so.However, with his current status and situation, there is no need to make any elaborate arrangements in order to win a small rookie.

After his phone call, three days later, Zhang Zi and Ayumi Hamasaki, mother and daughter, went to Beijing again as planned.

However, the person who negotiated the contract was replaced by Iwahashi Shinichi.

……

After Zhang Zi and Ayumi Hamasaki's mother and daughter arrived in Tokyo, the staff who came to pick them up sent them to GENZO.

It was the first time for Zhang Zi to visit the headquarters of GENZO, or in other words, it was the first time to visit a record company, and he felt quite strange in his heart.

The daughter who once contradicted the president of the record company she met for the first time, is now going to become a member of the record company.

Looking back now, I can't tell if it was because Iwahashi Shinichi, or this legendary producer with first-class vision, really saw a certain possibility early on in Ayumi Hamasaki, who was only a child.

But for Zhang Zi, no matter what the answer is, the appearance of Shinichi Iwahashi brought Ayumi Hamasaki out of the predicament he might have faced.

Unlike her complicated mother, when she came to GENZO again, Ayumi Hamasaki was in a calm mood.

However, on the third visit, the reception lady at the front desk and the clerk of the president Sang probably felt that this girl was familiar to many people.

The mother and daughter were taken to the reception room, and after a short wait, Shinichi Yanqiao opened the door and came in.

"Welcome both of you." He was in a good mood.

Zhang Zi exchanged pleasantries with Yanqiao Shenyi, expressing his apology: "This incident has caused Yanqiao-san a lot of trouble."

Yanqiao Shinichi denied: "I should thank Zhang Zisan and Ayu for their trust." His eyes fell on Ayumi Hamasaki, and he smiled, "Welcome, Ayu."

This "welcome" is no longer the same as in the past.Ayumi Hamasaki seemed to have such a consciousness in his ignorance, facing Shinichi Iwahashi, showing a humble expression.

After consulting Zhang Zi and Ayumi Hamasaki's opinions, she immediately made a move at the last minute and stopped her contract.No matter what the outside world thinks of Iwahashi Shinichi's actions, for Ayumi Hamasaki, the president, Sang Yinuo, is worthy of trust.

Unspeakable excitement surged in her heart, until Yanqiao Shenyi poured cold water over her.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Zhang Zi talked about their plans, "Ayu's record contract, needless to say, will be signed with GENZO next. The first contract is for five years, and GENZO has her priority to renew the contract. In the first five years During the year, we will ask Ayu to do some training as a singer, but the exact date of debut depends on the situation."

About these, is expected.

Zhang Zi felt that it was not easy for a daughter who had never been trained as a singer to start from scratch, but Ayumi Hamasaki was still thinking about how to become a person like Akina-san.

The mother and daughter have their own ideas, but both have no opinion on the fact that they will not debut for the time being.

"Then there is Ayu's agency appointment." Shinichi Iwahashi changed the subject and mentioned another key point, "Although Ayu will not formally start performing arts work in a short period of time, there are still some occasions or contracts. It is more appropriate for the office to take care of it.

What's more, Ayu is still a minor and needs the care of a guardian.Watanabe-san's office has always been the closest partner with GENZO, needless to say, Watanabe-san's talent is even inferior to me, and his character is even more noble..."

Yanqiao Shen has high hopes for Ayumi Hamasaki, and insists on coming forward to her contract through himself.Since he has shown the change of his acting style to the outside world, and he has not concealed his ambition in front of Wanyumi Watanabe, then he can't show nothing to Wanyumi Watanabe.

Even if Ayumi Hamasaki's brokerage contract is handed over to Wanyumi Watanabe now, and Shinichi Iwahashi does not make plans, Wanyumi Watanabe will not plan the future of Ayumi Hamasaki without authorization.For Ayumi Hamasaki, whether there is an office or not has little influence.

But for Shinichi Iwahashi and Wanyu Watanabe, handing over Ayumi Hamasaki's management contract to Wanyu Watanabe is like proof that the two have reached a tacit consensus before preparing to enter a new era.

Watanabe Wanyumi suggested to Iwahashi Shinichi before that she should come forward to get Ayumi Hamasaki's contract, which is a response to this approach.

Yanqiao Shenyi did not hesitate to praise Watanabe Mayumi, Zhang Zi heard it in his ears, and felt that it would be great to have such a female president to take care of his daughter.

Hamasaki stared at Shinichi Iwahashi's lips, and an idea came to his mind.

... Not only this president-san, but also another president-san.

Waiting for her here is not only Shinichi Iwahashi, but also Mayumi Watanabe.

A few years ago, when Shinichi Iwahashi met Ayumi Hamasaki for the first time, he left her the business card of Wanyumi Watanabe, but Ayumi Watanabe went to Beijing twice, but he did not move to meet the company who was praised by Shinichi Iwahashi. Chang Sang's thoughts.

Earlier, on the set of "Twin Teachers", Ayumi Hamasaki saw Wanyumi Habebe from a distance, and he still remembered that she looked very professional and calm like a professional woman in a TV series.

As a female president who is older than herself, Ayumi Hamasaki had serious thoughts about Watanabe Watanabe. However, when she actually saw Watanabe Watanabe from afar, the female president seemed quite gentle.Still, that doesn't take away Hamasaki's reluctance to be dominated by older women.

Or perhaps, her resistance does not come from her rejection of the older female president's control of her, but from some kind of secret hope, and some kind of disappointment in the failure of hope.

Ayumi Hamasaki couldn't help asking: "Why did you sign with Watanabe-san's office?"

Zhang Zi was surprised by her daughter's rude attitude, "Ayu..." She showed an apologetic expression.But in my heart, I secretly rejoiced that the president of the firm whom Shinichi Iwahashi praised was not present at this moment.

……

"You said, let me do what I want to do." Ayumi Hamasaki stared at Shinichi Iwahashi.

Yanqiao Shinichi corrected, "I want you to do a job to maintain yourself."

He looked at Ayumi Hamasaki's irritable face, and before she asked her questions, he told her first: "GENZO doesn't manage the singer's management contract, Watanabe-san's office is the closest partner here, Watanabe Bian Sang only takes care of the singer's work on his behalf, and does not participate in the planning of the singer."

"So, you can rest assured." Yanqiao Shinichi told her.

Zhang Zi looked at his daughter, unable to figure out why she was so entangled in this matter.Ayumi Hamasaki himself knew that he was being rude, and when he raised his eyes, he felt awkward seeing Shinichi Kamiyanhashi's gentle and tolerant face.

She hesitated, and finally said only one sentence: "I thought, I just need to sign a contract with you."

Childish speech.

Yanqiao Shen smiled, "The contract is a very complicated thing." He didn't change his mind, but repeated "Don't worry about it", and told her, "The signing of the contract with Watanabe-san's office is just for the convenience of arranging your pick-up. Come down to life in Tokyo."

"I thought you would arrange my life in Tokyo." Ayumi Hamasaki nodded at him without thinking.As soon as the words were spoken, my heart skipped a beat.

Yanqiao Shinichi was surprised by her sudden arrogance and unreasonableness, "I'll arrange it?"

He calmed down and told her about his arrangement: "Usually, the senior management of the company is the guardian of underage artists. This is the industry's practice. Watanabe-san is a woman, and she will take care of you. Just right."

"But, isn't there a child living in your home?"

When Ayumi Hamasaki said this, seeing Iwahashi Shinichi's stunned expression, he felt guilty for a moment, as if asking him for something he shouldn't have.

Why is he always so arrogant and unreasonable in front of this president Sang?
When this idea appeared in Ayumi Hamasaki's mind, she suddenly refused to be outdone, opened her eyes, and faced Shinichi Iwahashi with her eyes, as if she was asking him for something that belonged to her.

The meeting with Akina Nakamori and Hikaru Utada, and that dinner, cast such a shadow in Hamasaki Ayumi's heart.She thought to herself that if the child named Utada Hikari had not lived in the Iwahashi family, she would not have such thoughts.

...I am not making trouble out of no reason.

Under such circumstances, Yanqiao Shinichi was surprised to hear her mention Utada Hikaru.

Zhang Zi was very sorry, and apologized to Yanqiao Shinichi: "Ayu's matter has caused trouble to Yanqiao-san..."

As a mother, I can't understand that her daughter's rejection of the female president who has never met officially comes from the rebellion born in a woman's home.

Similarly, Zhang Zi, who only raised an only daughter, failed to understand her daughter's competitiveness for a while.

When his mother Zhang Zi apologized to Iwahashi Shinichi, Ayumi Hamasaki fell silent.The girl who was almost messing around just now disappeared without a trace at this moment.

……

Watanabe Wanyumi arrived a little late on purpose to give Iwahashi Shinichi a chance to communicate with Ayumi Hamasaki's mother and daughter.

She has an excellent memory and can remember the names of even little-known minor characters.Because of this, when I was flipping through the production materials of "Twin Teachers", I saw Ayumi Hamasaki's name at a glance, and it left a vague impression in my heart.

However, apart from this name, the others are not clear.

After Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned this girl to her, Wanyumi Watanabe remembered the TV series "Twin Teachers", and originally planned to watch the performance of the character "Tachibana Momo" in it.However, he immediately dismissed the idea.

Seeing what Shinichi Iwahashi meant, he treated Ayumi Hamasaki as a blank sheet of paper.

That being the case, instead of leaving a vague old impression of Ayumi Hamasaki, it is better to wait for her to stand in front of him, like a blank sheet of paper.

GENZO and her office were very close to each other. As Watanabe Wan Yumi set off there, she secretly thought about it.

A young girl who entered the entertainment world as a young actress, but threatened that she would not be able to work as an actress.Before seeing Ayumi Hamasaki herself, Wanyumi Watanabe has already felt the stubborn and self-willed part of this girl's personality.

On the one hand, she felt that the girl's personality was more flexible than on the other hand, and on the other hand, she felt that Yanqiao Shen's accommodating to this girl was unbelievable.But after thinking about it, the girl who would rather bend than bend would have suffered a lot if she hadn't met such a person who could accommodate her.

From this point of view, the encounter between Shinichi Iwahashi and Ayumi Hamasaki was a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer.

When Mayumi Watanabe was thinking about this, a ridiculous thought flashed through her mind.Nakamori Akina in "STAR!After "Birth" wins, if the contracted firm is not Yanyin, with such a prominent personality, I am afraid it will suffer a lot.

This momentary inexplicable association made Watanabe Wanyumi frown slightly, but she also had a subtle understanding of Iwahashi Shinichi.

The headquarters of GENZO has arrived.

Watanabe Wanyumi was in a trance, when she was suddenly interrupted, thinking that the two companies are too close, sometimes it is not a good thing.

Shinichi Iwahashi's clerk led the way and sent Manyumi Watanabe to the reception room.She knocked on the door lightly and stepped in. A middle-aged woman and a young girl had already stood up.

Shinichi Iwahashi naturally acted as the introducer, "This is Watanabe-san....The two here are Ayumi Hamasaki and her mother Zhang Zi-san."

Wanyumi Watanabe nodded slightly and smiled: "It's the first time we meet."

……

This female president, who was admired by Shinichi Iwahashi a few years ago and is still admired by him a few years later, is as gentle and capable as Ayumi Hamasaki has seen from afar, not like the kind of older woman who treats people harshly.Not only that, but when he smiles, he looks very approachable.

After everyone sat down again, Ayumi Hamasaki raised his eyelids and secretly looked at Watanabe-san.

Zhang Zi had a very good first impression of this Watanabe-san, and he was relieved for the most part.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care about Ayumi Hamasaki's little tricks, and brought Wanyumi Watanabe into the discussion, "What's your first impression of Ayu?"

Watanabe Wanyumi looked at Ayumi Hamasaki, smiled again, and answered him: "Now, I can understand how you must sign her."

Watanabe Mayumi made a pun.

However, there is another "understanding" in her words that only she knows.
