Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 255. 255. New Year's Gift
(two chapters in one)
In general, for TV stations or newspapers and magazines, advertising revenue occupies a large part of their source of income.

If there is no advertising fee, then it will be difficult for the media to survive.

However, these media are limited and cannot directly conduct transactions with customers who need to publish advertisements, so it is necessary to set up an agency in the middle, on the one hand, to communicate with interested companies and make advertisements for them, on the other hand, to buy It is the so-called advertising agency to arrange advertisements in the advertising time slots of TV stations or in the pages of newspapers and magazines.

And Dentsu is the industry leader among advertising agencies, and it belongs to the kind of super boss who can't even shake it by a single bit from the second to the one hundred and eighth bundles together.

In Japan, Dentsu has an extremely terrifying influence, especially in the entertainment industry.

As the largest advertising agency, Dentsu is trusted by large corporations.Dentsu has a close relationship with large corporations and controls the flow of their advertising fees.And the media can only survive by relying on advertising fees. Therefore, Dentsu, which controls the advertising expenses of most companies, has become the parents of the media, making the media have to act according to Dentsu's face.

For the entertainment industry, the media is their only stage.Therefore, in the industry, Dentsu has a terrifying influence, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "behind the scenes" of the Japanese entertainment industry.

And the identity of the behind-the-scenes manipulator in the entertainment industry is just an ordinary item among the huge influence of Dentsu.

In a large enterprise like this, there are two types of people who can work in it.One is the official N generation and the rich N generation with good backgrounds. This is also a common problem in Japanese companies. In addition to the rank of seniority, there are also a bunch of related households who come in through the back door to enjoy the blessings.After this group of people came in, their jobs were easy, mostly for the purpose of gaining connections with their seniority.

Of course, Dentsu does not have a habit of raising idlers.Taking in these entrepreneurs, high-level TV stations and publishing houses, or the children of Zheng Zhi's family to work is precisely to deepen ties with all walks of life.

And this group of officials and rich people are not just looking for a place to hang around.They use Dentsu as a communication stage to develop their respective relationships, so that people in the upper class can be closely linked together, and they can defend the barriers of the upper class in Japan.

In addition to this gang of officials and rich men, the other part is actually recruited to work.After joining the company, I started from the basics, while enduring difficulties from my superiors, and at the same time endured the huge difference in treatment from colleagues who came in through the back door, and climbed up step by step.

Either be eliminated under the wheel and be crushed to death, or climb up and become the so-called "Dentsu MAN", and beauties with money and status keep coming.

Especially because of the special relationship between Dentsu and the media world, making pleasing Dentsu MAN a way for some unknown female artists to get promoted, and being willing, they became the little bugs that were eaten on the Internet.

As for whether there will be any reward after being swallowed, that's another matter.

"Dentsu MAN, either domineering, or a bunch of messy relationships."

Given his consistent impression of Dentsu as a company, Asako Iwahashi's boyfriend either has a strong background or worked hard all the way here. come object.

"I think that my sister's boyfriend is not the kind of person you think." Yanqiao Shenyi said after considering his words.

This is not to say good things for this future brother-in-law who has not met, it is simply out of the impression of Yanqiao Chaozi's consistent behavior.As his elder sister, she knows what she wants better than anyone else, and she will never let herself fall into an unseemly situation.

"Anyway, Asako chose it herself." Iwahashi Chiyo's reaction made Iwahashi Shinichi realize that his mother agreed with him.

Yanqiao Masaki did not make a sound. On the TV, the Red and White Song Club entered the final stage, and the female singer Wada Xianzi appeared as the grand finale.She made a big splash at the party this year, not only serving as the main finale, but also the host of the red group.

Yanqiao Masaki watched her performance and muttered: "How long has it been since Wada-san released a best-selling song?"

"I don't know," said Iwahashi Chiyo, "It feels like a long time ago."

Wada Xianzi, who debuted in 1968, is a bit outdated even in the eyes of those who have experienced her youth.But with qualifications and fame, and rising status, he naturally became a member of the list of the Red and White Song Club.

Having said that, in terms of seniority, it was even reflected in the red and white song meeting.

……

This year's Red and White Song Concert ended with the victory of the Red Team.

As the host of the red group, Wada Xianzi took over the pennant symbolizing victory from the head of NHK. Tonight can be described as extremely beautiful.

On the TV screen, the singers who attended the Red and White Song Concert took the stage collectively and began to sing the Japanese version of Unforgettable Tonight - "The Light of the Firefly".

Yanqiao Masamune yawned, "Now I can go to bed."

Since they were young, the couple did not have the habit of going to the shrine overnight to pay homage. Instead, they would choose to avoid the peak flow of people and go slowly to the shrine near their home.

From this point of view, it can be regarded as "it's not that a family does not enter a house".

Yanqiao Shinichi, an outsider, is even better. He doesn't even pay New Year's visits.

Sleep late at home, and sleep until noon... Anyway, what I eat is the food box that my mother Chiyo bought before the New Year... It was originally planned to be like this.

As a result, at eight o'clock in the morning, the crickets on the pager woke him up.

He went downstairs in a daze, and called back, it was Miwa Yoshida.

"Happy New Year, Shinichi-kun—"

New year and new weather, but Meihejiang's vigorous voice is the same every year.

"Happy New Year." Yanqiao Shenyi was sleepy.

Yoshida Miwa sounded in a good mood, "Could it be that he hasn't woken up yet? Shinichi-kun."

"You know you still called..." Yanqiao Shen complained in a low voice.

"Aren't you going to the shrine today? Remember to drink Tusu wine when you come back." Miwa Yoshida has mastered the two skills of pretending to be stupid and climbing along the pole.

"When will Shinichi-kun come back?" She immediately jumped to a new topic.

"I'll be back the night after tomorrow."

"I didn't go back until five days ago. I haven't seen my friends in Hokkaido for a whole year, and we made an appointment to play together." Miwa Yoshida said, "By the way, Shinichi-kun. I prepared a gift for you."

"King crab, cantaloupe, or white lover?"

"It's a beautiful thought." Yoshida Miwa smiled, "In short, you will know when the time comes." After she finished speaking, she immediately showed her fox tail, "By the way, remember to prepare a gift for me in return."

"I know." Yanqiao Shen raised his forehead, "I don't really want your gift..."

"Then, let's make a decision!"

Yoshida Miwa made a final decision, hung up the phone happily, and said that she was going to the temple soon.

After hanging up such a chaotic phone call, Iwahashi Shinichi's drowsiness dissipated amid Miwa-chan's New Year's bombing, he simply washed up and walked into the living room.

"Happy New Year, Father, Mother." He wished his parents New Year greetings.

"Happy New Year, Shinichi." Yanqiao Masaki called him to sit down, Yanqiao Chiyo poured a glass of Tusu wine and brought it to him, "Drink a glass of wine, the new year has begun."

"Tusu wine is different from other wines. Young people drink it first." Yanqiao Jiangming said, "However, my mother and I spent the New Year together for the past two years... two old guys."

Yanqiao Masaki finished drinking the wine in the glass, then stretched out the glass again, "Give me another glass."

Iwahashi Chien poured the wine for her husband and stood up, "I'm going to cook rice cakes."

While sitting, the pager on Yanqiao Shinichi rang again.He got up to answer the phone, an acquaintance in Tokyo.

After eating rice cakes, Yanqiao Shinichi changed his clothes for going out, and greeted his parents loudly, "I'll go for a walk."

One day at a time, no one will come to the door, and I will not visit the door.Although they are both Chinese New Year, Japan and Rabbit Country are still different.

Going for a walk outside alone is boring if you have no destination.Yanqiao Shinichi went outside for a stroll, and when he was almost home, the pager rang again.

Anyway, it was only one street away from home. After he got home, he went to find the phone first.

After connecting, it was Yukiko Okada.

The little girl went back to her hometown in Nagoya with her mother before the new year. When the new year comes, she must call him one day to pay New Year's greetings. She is very polite.

At the busiest time at the end of the year, she didn't have much work, and only attended a few large-scale ballad shows. After the New Year, she only booked a few important idol gala shows.

Male and female idols these days are often brought together by TV stations to do programs, such as alumni reunions of idols who debuted in a certain year, programs like this.

By April of this year, the contract between Okada Yukiko and SUNMUSIC will officially end. At that time, she will officially retire from the entertainment industry and become an ordinary person.

For this reason, SUNMUSIC planned a retirement concert for her at the end of March, drawing an end to her idol career.

As the final curtain call, it was Yoyogi Daiichi Gymnasium.

"At that time, can you go to see my performance?" Okada Yukiko asked, "If you go, I will send the tickets to your company after the tickets are issued."

"Of course I will." Yanqiao Shinichi promised her.

……

"Fazijiang has achieved good results since her debut, and Mizoguchi-san is also relieved."

Okada Yukiko told him these trifles, not suddenly mentioning it, but at the end of last year, Noriko Sakai won the Best Newcomer Award at the Music Awards, and as a new debut singer, she was well recognized.

Noburo Mizoguchi fell in love with Noriko Sakai after the incident of Yukiko Okada, and had high hopes for her. At this time, her debut was going well, and Yukiko Okada was also happy for her, or rather, for the kindness of Mizoko who had been kind to her. Noburo Kuchi is happy to have found a future star again.

When a new generation replaced the old one, Okada Yukiko gradually retreated to the second line, the resources that were originally put on her began to transfer to Sakai, because of this, SUNMUSIC will support Sakai and hope that she will be the top of Okada Yukiko as soon as possible After retreating, SUNMUSIC lost the market.

Speaking of which, the reason why Okada Yukiko was suddenly pushed to the front at that time was also because Matsuda Seiko suddenly announced that she would temporarily stop working after getting married and having a daughter. When someone advances, someone retreats, and when someone retreats, someone steps up immediately.

"By the way, Iwahashi-san." Before hanging up the phone, Okada Yukiko said to him, "Yesterday's Record Awards, Akina Sauna won the third consecutive championship."

"I know," Yanqiao Shen smiled, "I also watched the live broadcast last night."

"As expected of Ming Cai-san, it's amazing!"

Yukiko Okada was excited, as if she was the one who won the grand prize.

After hanging up Yukiko Okada's call, Shinichi Iwahashi finally took a break.Walking into the living room, Chiyo Iwahashi said to him, "Shinichi's phone calls have been going on since early in the morning, he's busy enough."

"His job is to communicate with others." Yanqiao Masaki said slowly.

The son of Shangjing’s third year opened his own production company, but even so, Iwahashi Masaki hardly asked him about his work when he returned home.

"Speaking of this, I was chatting with Mrs. Ueno next door a while ago, and I heard her say that the lead singer of the band called BEGIN in the band Paradise is a very kind young man."

Chiyo Iwahashi, who was reading a magazine, answered, but it wasn't that she didn't care about her son's career.

Hearing what she said, Iwahashi Shinichi remembered the shy face of BEGIN lead singer Higa Eiseki, and felt that it was not surprising that he would be supported by older housewives.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard two chuckles from Iwahashi Chiyo.

"What's wrong?" Yanqiao Jiangming asked.

"This manga is really interesting." Iwahashi Chiyo said, "It would be nice to have a daughter like Maruko."

"What little ball?"

"This," Iwahashi Chiyo raised the magazine in his hand, "it's a manga called "Chibi Maruko-chan". The author is also from Shizuoka, and the background of the manga is also Shizuoka, so it looks very familiar."

"Chibi Maruko-chan?" Yanqiao Shinichi's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, the comics serialized on "RIBON". This is a combined issue that was released last week, but I was too busy to read the Chinese New Year, so I haven't read it." Iwahashi Chiyo said.

"Just because of this, she is already an old woman, but she still goes to buy girls' manga magazines as if nothing happened." Yanqiao Masamune made fun of his wife.

Yanqiao Chiyo was too lazy to answer, so he said that the couple couldn't even quarrel.

However, for Shinichi Iwahashi, when he heard the name of this manga, the first thing that came to mind was... crackling crackling?
Having said that, when did Chibi Maruko start animation?
While talking, Iwahashi Shinichi's pager rang again.

Yanqiao Masaki looked at his son and joked, "Here we go again. It's rare to go home, but Tokyo keeps calling you."

Yanqiao Masaki has a special speaking skill, that is, he speaks coldly and deadly metaphors in a serious manner.Yanqiao Shenyi broke out in a cold sweat, got up to answer the phone.

This call was from Akina Nakamori.

After exchanging contact information with each other, Shinichi Iwahashi never dialed this number, and neither did Akina Nakamori.

After the call was connected, she said on the other end of the phone: "Happy New Year, Yanqiao-san."
