Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1523. Every Moment

It is risky to praise people who are still active, but the characteristic of being a trendsetter in such an era is to seize opportunities at a certain moment and light up your name in a rapidly changing world.

From this perspective, people in the entertainment industry, whether they are behind-the-scenes practitioners or stars active in front of the stage, all exist for a certain moment.

Despite this, wise people will seize every opportunity and connect every moment, and the trajectory they draw will become what people call a "legend." Legends are moments that are illuminated one after another.

When Nomura sent out the invitation, he recognized Shinichi Iwahashi as a legendary figure.

Shinichi Iwahashi was willing to agree, but he believed that he could still seize every opportunity in the future and light them up one by one.

As soon as he agreed, TV Asahi's Nomura immediately sent out staff to deliver the details of the shoot. The speed was so fast that it seemed they were afraid that Iwahashi Shinichi would go back on his word.

However, for Shinichi Iwahashi, as long as the other party offers enough benefits, it would be a good thing for him to be treated as a part of a documentary at such a young age. The only way to persuade such a big shot to participate in the filming is to exchange resources.

This program will closely follow Shinichi Iwahashi for a month, showing the audience the daily work of a record company head and a corner of the operation of a popular record company.

Of course, the scissors are so good that the only things that can be shown to the audience are the most insignificant bits and pieces. After the program is finished, it will be sent to Shinichi Iwahashi for review to make sure nothing is shown that shouldn't be there.

Shinichi Iwahashi's clerk came forward and took Shinichi Iwahashi's schedule for the next month to communicate with the staff sent by the TV station to agree on the time and scene of each shooting.

It is said to be a one-month shoot, but of course it is impossible to actually shoot for a month, but the time span is one month.

The TV station proposes the content they want to shoot, and the record company gives the content that can be shot. The two sides add and subtract, and finally decide on the script. As long as it is a program, there will be a script. However, some programs have scripts that are specific to every sentence, while for some programs, the script is just a general direction.

Being genuinely emotional about a show, no matter when, is very innocent.

……

After the specific itinerary was communicated, a camera appeared next to Shinichi Iwahashi on the next Monday.

Being able to remain calm in front of the camera is, I have to say, a great talent. This is a simple feeling that can only be expressed by someone who has experienced being closely followed by a camera.

"As expected of Mr. Iwahashi, he was followed by a 'respectable person'."

After the morning meeting, Iwahashi Shinichi went to Mayumi Watanabe's office in the afternoon to exchange information as usual. Cameras were not allowed to follow Mayumi Watanabe's office, but it did not prevent Mayumi Watanabe from making fun of it after hearing about it.

Shinichi Iwahashi was shameless enough to be followed by the show, and now he is not afraid of her sarcasm, and replied frankly: "I wanted to give Nomura-san some advice. If you want to talk about big names who can represent the entertainment industry, why not interview Misa-san."

"You're even going to drag my mother into this?"

Shinichi Iwahashi laughed happily when he heard her witty remark.

Back then, this person was just a rookie and his future seemed to depend on a word from Watanabe Misa.

Mayumi Watanabe joked with him about her mother, and suddenly he felt a sense of emotion. The past cannot be brought back - this conversation at this moment is the best proof.

She came to her senses and said to Iwahashi Shinichi: "People from the old era cannot board the ship of the new era."

This program is not about showcasing the big names in the industry, but about the trends of today's era.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know where the sudden emotion in her tone came from, and calmly continued: "Different times have different ships."

He is a person who neither feels sad about the past nor hesitates about the future, and seems to live only in the present. Such a person is born to exist in this uncertain and helpless era.

Mayumi Watanabe smiled and said, "That's amazing. It's really awe-inspiring."

"It's not good to use the same trick twice in a row... Are you just trying to make fun of me?"

"Do you take my sincere compliments as sarcasm?"

Shinichi Iwahashi finally surrendered: "Please spare me." If he had known this would happen, he would have been a little more thick-skinned from the beginning.

Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe work closely together, but this will not be reflected in his program. In the morning, the TV station's camera follows him, but in the afternoon, there is no chance to film him meeting Mayumi Watanabe. Despite this, Shinichi Iwahashi will share the content of the filming with Mayumi Watanabe.

For those behind the scenes, every appearance on stage is actually carefully planned.

"The show will be broadcast in mid-November, and Tomomi Shimokawahara will make her debut around this time." Shinichi Iwahashi compared his own schedule, GENZO's upcoming arrangements, and the show's broadcast time.

"Are you trying to use the show to promote her debut?"

"That's not the case." Iwahashi Shinichi explained, "It's just that during this time period, Shimokawahara Tomomi is the most suitable material to appear in the program."

At present, the most eye-catching collaboration is between GENZO and Tetsuya Komuro. Tomomi Shimokawahara will debut soon, and in the past month, there has been a lot of preparation for her debut. Rather than promoting her, it is better to show the audience a corner of the "Komuro assembly line" through her.

Although Shinichi Iwahashi has always been the least involved in the Komuro-style singers.

The more you make it yourself, the less likely you are to reveal too much in front of the camera.

"Both Mr. Komuro and the singers he produces are stars who are very suitable to appear on TV," said Shinichi Iwahashi. "They are bright and beautiful."

Mayumi Watanabe suddenly said, "Your comments about Komuro-san sound like sarcasm, even though they are clearly compliments."

Iwahashi Shinichi laughed and said in reply, "Do you take my sincere compliments as sarcasm?"

When it comes to tit-for-tat, the two men are evenly matched.

Mayumi Watanabe didn't realize she had dug a hole for herself and started laughing. Although it was funny, Mayumi Watanabe's words tested Shinichi Iwahashi's true attitude.

"This Komuro-san is also going to produce a single for a teenage actress from BURNING."

Mayumi Watanabe was referring to Yuki Uchida. Higuchi Norio took the initiative to connect with GENZO, and even bypassed VERMILLION Records to directly give Yuki Uchida's record contract to GENZO.

Although the cooperation is in the form of a single contract, with each single and album signed separately, it is also a serious cooperation.

In addition, Kyoko Koizumi and Akina Nakamori co-starred in a movie. Such continuous collaboration made the relationship between Shinichi Iwahashi and Ikuo Suho quite delicate in the eyes of the industry.

When Mayumi Watanabe mentioned this, Shinichi Iwahashi was very calm, "Since the record deal is with GENZO, then she is a GENZO singer."

He characterized this cooperation in an almost joking tone.
