Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 18 018. Breaking hair is popular
Audition tape?
Seeing Shinichi Iwahashi's reaction, Minejima understood, "Aren't you prepared? This is impossible."

To sell something, of course, you can't leave the "sample".

The same goes for the pitching singer, prepare an audition tape, preferably a videotape of her performance, so that the party receiving the pitch can get a general idea of ​​her.In addition, a resume is also indispensable.

Feng Dao is not a person who hides and hides. In other words, he is very happy to share everything about the agent with others, and he is also proud of his work. Otherwise, he would not have told Iwahashi Shinichi when they first met. Say the words "selling excellence".

At this time, Iwahashi Shinichi asked for his help, and he also taught him all the money, earnestly helping him analyze it.

Mineshima said, "There are various ways for singers to debut, but whether they are discovered by record companies or talent scouts, or participate in music competitions, they really get to the bottom of it. In order to achieve their goals, the most important point is ' Self-presentation'."

Choosing singers is not about choosing models and actors. Talent scouts can chat up people with outstanding appearance in places where young people like Takeshita Dori haunt, ask them if they would like to become models (actors), and then invite them to interviews, but they cannot. To say "whether you want to be a singer" to someone who doesn't know anything, you must fully understand the singer's own strength in advance.

And in the huge Tokyo, there are always hundreds of record companies.The same goes for screening labels before self-promotion.A mainstream debut is not just about pursuing a "debut".

Although as an obscure little person, most of the time, he is picked and picked by the record company, but the choice has always been mutual.When you are selected, you will also choose the other party.

For Yoshida Miwa, Minejima's suggestion is quite simple, "As you said, Yoshida-san's style is not popular enough, so you might as well actively contact performances, clubs, LIVEHOUSE, or street shows, in short, perform as many performances as possible to accumulate fame. ."

Mine Island casually took Mimi CLUB as an example, "Like this troublesome group, they started performing in the club three years ago. I met them because they wanted to hold a concert in LIVEHOUSE, and they found me for help through others. Contact. I thought it was a popular band, but after the opening, only twelve spectators came in. "

"Mine Island-san was deeply impressed by our desolate and desolate scene, and this became our manager." Ishii Ryu also laughed at himself.

Mine Island smiled, "It's really impressive. Just like that, they happily finished the performance and distributed the band's video tapes to the audience for free."

"The LIVE HOUSE can accommodate 150 people. We thought it might be overloaded if it was full, so we specially prepared [-] videotapes." Onoda Yasuhide said.

Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but laughed.Isn't this really funny?

"However, starting from there, it is now a relatively well-known band, and now it has successfully signed a record company." Feng Dao smiled, and his expression became serious again, "In short, from the underground to the mainstream, that's how it is. Hard."

Nowadays, Shinichi Iwahashi lives in an era where idols are popular and the record market has shrunk a lot compared to previous years. Even if it is Akina Nakamori who has killed the Quartet or the Plaid Band, even if the phenomenon-level popularity is limited to In the market environment, it is also difficult to reproduce the sales glory of the 70s.

The market shrank, and the record companies became cautious.What's more, such a country with a highly developed entertainment industry, as a grassroots, has no right time and place, only down-to-earth accumulation, and then looking for opportunities in the gaps.

This is something you can't get around even if you can sing well, write best-selling songs, and be impeccable in every way.

"By the way, Iwahashi-kun, can you drive?" Fengjima asked him.

Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "If it's an ordinary exemption, yes."

This body has already obtained a driver's license before going to Beijing, and the qualification is a general exemption, which is about equal to the domestic C1 books.

"That would be a lot more convenient," Mineshima said. "I sometimes take the band out to perform, and if you can drive, you can help me with it—basically, it's all chores, pretty hard and tedious work. Get some experience."

"I'm asking for nothing." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "If you need it, please call me."

Feng Dao came over in a hurry, and after talking about this big pass, he was ready to leave in a hurry.Before leaving, he and Iwahashi Shinichi exchanged contact information.

Yanqiao Shen wrote down the apartment's phone number, and Feng Dao picked it up, "Is there no pager in Yanqiao-kun?"

"No." Iwahashi Shinichi said,
"Since you want to be an agent, it's best to have a pager that can contact you at any time." Feng Dao gave his last suggestion for the trip and left in a hurry.

As soon as Feng Dao left, the band members lost the thought of rehearsing, surrounded him, and asked about the details of his being an agent.Iwahashi Shinichi had no choice but to tell the truth.

When it comes to his acquaintance with Yoshida Miwa, it was because he heard the sound of the piano and the people in the band were all an unexpected and appreciative reaction of "you can do it, boy".

In such an atmosphere, Iwahashi Shinichi was not satisfied, but felt a sense of recognition, and his yearning for this industry increased.

Sakamoto Takuji said of him, "With such talent, it is better to come to the band than to be an agent."

"How can a band do it so easily?" Iwahashi Shinichi said.

"The band," Ishii Ryuu also joked, "there are a lot of root bassists and 1645 guitarists. Can you play C, G, F?" Seeing him nodding, he incited: "That's not a problem, come on. Bar."

Hearing what he said so rashly, Iwahashi Shinichi simply followed suit and joked, "If I knew it was this simple, I wouldn't be a manager for Yoshida-san."

After chatting a bunch of jokes about the three-legged cat band, the focus of this group is finally back.

I haven't seen her for a while, Minako Ishii's foot injury has also healed and she can continue dancing.Ryu Ishii is still rambling, and likes to add his rakugo to his performances.

During the period, the members quarreled for a rhythm, and they repeatedly contacted tirelessly.Iwahashi Shinichi watched from the side, staying with them until the end of the rehearsal before leaving.

-

Iwahashi Shinichi decided to record a test tape for Yoshida Miwa first, following the suggestion of Mine Island.

Mine Island introduced him to a recording studio at a reasonable price. After the decision was made, Iwahashi Shinichi called Yoshida Miwa and asked her out.

As soon as we met, she hadn't seen each other for a few days. She also changed her hairstyle, cut her hair to an unusually short length, with uneven bangs on her forehead, and looked like a little boy.

Thinking of Tiangu Jinri who had just met, Iwahashi Shinichi was a little amused, "Is there any 'cutting hair trend' these days?"
