Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1522. Topic Figure

These days, Shinichi Iwahashi spends more time in the recording studio than in the record company, and he seems to be a more traditional producer than before.

The new songs produced by Tetsuya Komuro in Los Angeles were sent back to Tokyo and handed over to the person in charge to promote the progress of the song production. When Shinichi Iwahashi went in and out of the recording studio, he also kept an eye on the recording progress of the singers of the Komuro School. He was not surprised to learn that everything was in order. After all, the characteristics of the Komuro School are highly commercialized and standardized.

Tetsuya Komuro was accompanied by Tomomi Shimokawahara on this trip to Los Angeles.

He left all the debuting singers in Tokyo and took this Cinderella alone. Although this romantic genius had excellent musical talent and business acumen, to some extent, his mind was extremely unpredictable.

Presumably, by the end of this trip to Los Angeles, Tomomi Shimokawahara's debut will be announced.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't worry about the Komuro singers who had already debuted. He left the recording studio and returned to the company to make arrangements to pave the way for Tomomi Shimokawahara's debut, reserving publicity resources for this newcomer in advance. People in the entertainment industry are doing work today that will be done three months later.

Before the summer vacation started, Shinichi Iwahashi received a huge package sent back from Africa by Terumi Utada, which contained a bunch of African folk musical instruments.

The accompanying letter stated that the couple had begun preparing to return, but there were still some things to be finalized before setting off.

The return date has been set, but not completely determined.

In addition to the travel gift sent to Iwahashi Shinichi, the couple also prepared a gift for Utada Hikaru. The child enjoyed her boarding life and was quite tolerant and generous to her parents who were uncertain about their return date.

Utada Hikaru will not leave for the time being, and the happiest person is Ayumi Hamasaki.

Iwahashi Shinichi found this very interesting and said to Akina Nakamori in private: "When Ayu came to our house, there was already a child here before her. Maybe she was used to the boarding life with Xiaoguang all the time."

"It gets stranger and stranger the more you talk." Akina Nakamori gave a brief, perfunctory comment on his discovery.

Recently, Akina Nakamori's mood has changed, and her taste in food has also changed. Sometimes she is very close to Shinichi Iwahashi, but the next moment she gets annoyed when she sees him. She is the eldest in the family, and when she sees her face gloomy, Shinichi Iwahashi immediately shuts up.

It was not often that one got the chance to see him being humiliated repeatedly like this, and the two young girls at home were enjoying watching the show.

However, when Akina Nakamori made a slight move, the two girls also ran to her side quickly. Looking after this familiar yet somewhat strange Akina-san, Ayumi Hamasaki's heartbeat unknowingly accelerated, and she felt incredible.

The appearance of a new life brought about a huge change in the atmosphere of the Iwahashi family.

……

It is September, and autumn has arrived according to the solar terms, but the weather is still hot.

Shinichi Iwahashi went from the recording studio to the record company. As soon as he entered the office, the clerk came over and handed him a sorted list of visitors and invitations.

He kept a detailed record of who called and who visited him when he was not at the office. Iwahashi glanced over the messages and picked out a few that he needed to respond to personally.

There is also a reception tonight, where I will meet with people from the production department of TV Asahi. The person who came out from the TV station was a director named Nomura who often dealt with GENZO.

When Shinichi Iwahashi first entered the industry, the first company to cooperate with him was TV Asahi. Because of this, the two sides have maintained a good relationship over the years, and the cooperation has become closer.

Today, the record market is booming, and Shinichi Iwahashi is a very influential figure in the record industry. The economy is bad, advertisers are cutting budgets, and TV stations are tightening their belts. GENZO has also entered the TV industry and started sponsoring TV stations. When Shinichi Iwahashi deals with people in TV stations, whether intentionally or not, the situation will inevitably change.

The people in the TV production department are the most calculating, and they will not do anything without profit. However, the more they are like this, the more room they have for bargaining. On the way to the appointment, Iwahashi Shinjiro subconsciously calculated the topics that might come up at the reception tonight. Even though he had made preparations in advance, he did not expect that Nomura would set his sights on him.

"A respectable person?"

Nomura nodded repeatedly. He had a round, raccoon-like face with a sly look in his eyes. Seeing that he had attracted Iwahashi Shinichi's attention, he quickly explained the show to him.

This is a personality program. Each episode selects a celebrity and introduces him or her to the audience through a simple documentary, including but not limited to legendary figures in the entertainment, sports and cultural circles.

After Nomura introduced the program, he then mentioned: "NTV already has a similar program, but the subjects of each episode are basically political and economic figures, which is a different direction from the program we are going to produce."

The purpose of programs is to inspire each other among different TV stations.

For programs of similar nature, since NTV emphasizes professionalism, if Asahi TV wants to attract audiences, it must change direction and add entertainment, which is the most effective way.

For ordinary audiences, a program that seems to be able to learn something and satisfy their gossip mentality is an ideal program.

"exactly."

Nomura showed an expression that showed he had already prepared for the event. "I wonder if Mr. Iwahashi would be so kind as to come and see me..."

"what?"

"Mr. Iwahashi has become a legend in the record industry. The public has always been curious about you, and you are probably the person who best fits the theme of this show."

Iwahashi Shinichi was known for his thick skin. He listened to Nomura's flattery without changing his expression and replied, "I am just a man behind the scenes who never comes to the stage. I just did what I should do when the time was right."

"The world beneath the surface that you live in is an alluring world for the audience. To be honest, even we, as producers, are full of curiosity about this world beneath the surface that Mr. Iwahashi is talking about."

Nomura used his eloquent tongue to encourage others.

An ordinary young man who worked hard in Beijing produced a trend-setting program, then founded a record company. He has always been at the forefront of fashion, launching hit singers one after another, and many of his ideas have become sensational topics.

Not only that, this person is young and mysterious. While his name is well known, the public knows very little about him. However, if we say he is hiding himself, the person he married is the superstar Akina Nakamori.

Since entering the industry, Shinichi Iwahashi has always adhered to a style of doing things that is not obvious, but in fact, he is the focus of everyone's attention.

TV Asahi wants to make this program famous, so it has approached legendary athletes and movie stars alike. But when it comes to topicality, no one is more popular than the "legendary Mr. Iwahashi."

This time, Nomura is determined to win after convincing Shinichi Iwahashi.

The TV station's production department was determined, and the initiative in bargaining fell into Shinichi Iwahashi's hands.
