Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 150

...It smells so good!
After eating this delicious bowl of rice, Iwahashi Shinichi continued to enrich his ideas:
"Besides, I will also take on some work to help underground musicians make underground records. I will take this opportunity to broaden my network and discover some decent songwriters."

In fact, the music production company itself does not provide lyrics to singers. However, if they have useful songwriters, they will have more cards and more jobs.

Only when you have enough cards in your hands can you not only be a foundry.

"But," Shinichi Iwahashi changed the subject, and said what Watanabe Mayumi really wanted to hear, "Life is just a means, the most important thing is to brew something famous and make a name for yourself."

"From my point of view, in short, we must be able to establish a good relationship with a certain record company, whether it is to become their outsourcing company or let go of the distribution rights of our own singers. In short, we must first successfully produce a group of singers to prove ourselves. , and then it can attract more attention, and even follow-up investment and cooperation.”

"The previous performances at the music festival signed contracts with Warner Pioneer and Poli Jiayin. However, no matter which record company we sign with, we have to go through the production company and keep the production rights in our own hands."

If you own the right to produce, you can fully control the style and route of the band.

"Exactly." Wanyumi Watanabe said, "It's the same here. After independence, we must first do one thing."

Immediately, she suggested: "Yanqiao-san, how about putting the band's management appointment with me? Although it's a different way, I feel that this might be a good thing. Or we—"

"You and I can maintain a long-term cooperation in this way."

Yanqiao Shenyi smiled, "Coincidentally, I thought so too."

The two then looked at each other and smiled. The previous imagination of seeing each other as the best partners was confirmed at this moment, as if the tulle covering the middle was lifted.

After confirming his thoughts, Wanyumi Watanabe asked him, "So, how are you going to lead with the record company?"

The more she appreciates him, the more Wanyumi Watanabe wants to hear useful and meaningful words from him.The harmonious relationship between them today was established because of Iwahashi Shinichi's "capability".

"Boss, this is also the problem you will face next."

Wanyumi Watanabe smiled, "The name 'BOSS'... After you leave Watanabe Productions in a few days, I will set up another company, so I can't call it that anymore."

"What's the name? Watanabe-san?"

She shook her head lightly, "Our family already has many 'Watanabe-san'. Since we want to cooperate in the future, if you don't mind, just call me by my name."

"Manyumi-san... Is that so?" Yanqiao Shinichi followed suit.In fact, in the office, they are also called "Miki-san" and "Manyumi-san" in private.

"Yes. In return, I will call you 'Shinichi-kun' from now on, is that okay?"

Yanqiao nodded cautiously, "You can call it whatever you want."

... Then back to the topic, "You have just become independent. Although you have chosen an address that is very close to the TV station, if you want to attract the attention of the TV station, you have to do something that will make you a blockbuster."

"So, what do you think I should do?" The two seemed to be playing a passing game, kicking the ball to Wanyumi Watanabe, but she kicked it back.

Since they want to cooperate, Yanqiao Shinichi is generous and unabashed, "How about continuing to make fuss about idols?"

Mayumi Watanabe couldn't help laughing, "Isn't Shinichi-kun going to let go of your idol?"

"Basically, sell what you can sell." Yanqiao Shen raised his eyebrows, not feeling that this self who kept playing bad idols was hateful, and he was even a little embarrassing in his heart.

Sure enough, he was more of a businessman than a musician.

"How about we plan a talent show?"

"Draft?"

"Yes, the band audition." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "Although "STAR! Birth" is over, its model has something to learn from. Now, although the public is a bit tired of idols, it has already proved its success. Routine. In addition to "STAR! Birth", the kitten club's amateur development model also has something to learn from, and it can be re-served on the table with a different skin, and it can still reap good results."

"It is."

Although everyone is a bit tired of idols now, what remains of the body is the habit of idols. If you make a 360-degree rotation all at once, the possibility of overturning is relatively high.That being the case, it is better to continue to put the idols in the pot to boil the dregs, absorb so many years of experience in idol management, and squeeze out their value.

"It is not difficult to follow the old track, but it is difficult to come up with new ideas." Wanyumi Watanabe pointed out the key.

Part of the program of the Kitten Club is based on "STAR!In "Birth", however, Fatty Akimoto came up with the concept of cultivating amateur idols.

So, when doing a band audition, what concepts should you come up with?
"It can amplify the two concepts of 'competition' and 'amateur'." Yanqiao Shenyi thought for a while, "What is the most worth seeing in the band? It is music, typhoon, and technology. In terms of competition, let the stage mode become In the group arena, as long as you win the "STAR! Birth", you will have a chance to be picked up by the record company, but the band audition we are going to do is not good. The winner of the current period, let him become the champion of the next period, and accept the following The challenge for the band is that only by successfully defending the ring for several episodes in a row and graduating from the show can they get a chance to debut."

"The winners of this issue may not be able to make their debut. In the next issue, there may be even more powerful people. The bands they support may not be successful. In this way, the audience's appetite will always be hung. And the bands that come to challenge constantly appear , and keep the stage fresh all the time. In addition, the band that guards the ring must let the audience see their progress, such as releasing new songs every issue, or in other places, such as adapting, in short, they must challenge Own."

"Interesting." Mayumi Watanabe nodded, and added: "However, don't keep too many episodes. Let the band graduate before the audience gets bored. Either way."

"Exactly." Talking to her wasn't tiring at all.

Watanabe Mayumi asked with great interest, "So, what about the concept of an amateur?"

"Well, if you are not satisfied with the current band and think you can do it, you can form a team with your relatives and friends to challenge. How about this?"

In other words, wide entry and strict exit, lower the threshold of entry and raise the threshold of exit.

"I want your band to participate in the show and see how long it can hold the ring." Wanyumi Watanabe said it all.

Yanqiao Shen smiled, "It goes without saying, it must be directly entering the hall."

After talking about what business to do, Watanabe Wanyumi finally turned the topic to money, "How do you solve the problem of starting a company?"
