Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 399 399. Is it worth it?
"The champion BLANKEY JET CITY, which was just decided not long ago, is very attractive. There is a band called Seven Bells. Although they failed to win the championship, the female lead singer's explosive singing is also impressive..."

Guided by Shinichi Iwahashi, Sachiko Kawachi talked about her impressive band and performance in the band Heaven.

With familiar topics, she felt a little more relaxed and talked more.After listing several bands one after another and expressing his opinion, he subconsciously went to see Shinichi Iwahashi.It was only when he found that he was listening intently that he felt relieved.

It is completely different from the insider attitude of the office worker of Tokuma Records that I saw at the sorority party. Iwahashi Shinichi's appearance, if he is not said to be the producer, he would never have imagined that he is the Iwahashi-san .

However, what he showed was a kind of tolerance that made people believe.

"And then DREAMS COME TRUE..."

Not only that, the name of their band came out of the mouth of Sachiko Puchi, but also a standard "DREAMS COME TRUE" instead of "Dolimuzicomtulu".

People who can pronounce the name of the band well always let Iwahashi Shinichi look at him differently in his heart.

Akamatsu Haruko on the side heard Kawachi Sachiko mention DREAMS COME TRUE, and thought of the other identity of Iwahashi-san sitting in front of her, she found it very interesting, so she looked at him quietly, wanting to see that after being praised face-to-face, Iwahashi Shinichi how to react.

This girl's core is cut open to see, it is probably a little dark.

However, Yanqiao Shenyi remained calm and listened silently.

Listening is a coping method that can make people unconsciously relax.

"I love DREAMS COME TRUE."

Sachiko Puchi said, "I like Yoshida-san's lyrics very much." Not only that, but the determination that made her decide to enter the entertainment industry at the age of 21 was obtained after being encouraged by DREAMS COME TRUE.

"lyrics?"

She nodded slightly, "Yoshida-san's lyrics are very fresh, and I think the life-like part is great. Like "I'm so happy! I'm so happy! I like it!" It's really great to be able to write such frank lyrics. sharp."

When talking about Miwa Yoshida's lyrics, Sachiko Kamanike's opinions are clear and well thought out.While chatting with her, Yanqiao Shinichi probably had an impression of this person in his mind.

He is a person who can use his brain and is willing to use his brain to think, not a superficial person who simply chases fame and fortune.The more so, it formed a wonderful contrast with the job she was doing now.

Yanqiao Shenyi suddenly remembered Imai's slightly sarcastic attitude when he talked about Kamaike Sachiko's entry into the entertainment world on the phone, and thought, such a Kamaike Sachiko would definitely not be the kind who was tempted by fame and fortune to enter this circle people.

The tension of Sachiko Puchi's first meeting gradually receded in the process of chatting about the band Tianguo and her favorite band.Yanqiao Shenyi felt the emotion revealed in her words and demeanor, and blurted out: "Puchi-san really likes music."

Hearing this sentence from his mouth, Puchi Xingzi suddenly felt her heart beat faster for some reason.Taking a deep breath involuntarily, he looked at Shinichi Iwahashi.

Did you tell Iwahashi-san that you like music?

Thinking of this, Sachiko Puchi felt warm in her heart.

The love and dream of music that was once hidden in her heart was awakened after watching "Band Paradise" produced by Shinichi Iwahashi for the first time.Let her make up her mind to take the current path, just to get close to her dream of singing. This courage and determination came after watching the performance of DREAMS COME TRUE from "Band Paradise".

Her dream had been connected with Yanqiao Shinichi in such a way when he was unaware of it.After resigning from a real estate company and becoming a model, even though her busy and irregular work made her unable to watch the live broadcast of the show, she always recorded the show every episode and watched it slowly during the break.

Such persistence may not be an inner manifestation of her insistence on her dream now.

But now, the person who invisibly ignited her dream was in front of her, not only that, but also felt her dream.

The "courage" in Sachiko Kamachi made her choose to resign to become a model at the age of 21, and that "courage" made her accept the invitation of Akamatsu Haruko to come to GENZO's recording studio and leave her own audition tape.

That "courage" has not been exhausted, not only that, it seems that there is such a spring of courage in my heart, the source is endless.

Why not let Iwahashi-san who ignited her dream and let her decide to take the current path know her dream?Sachiko Puchi thought to herself.

Since entering the industry, she has carefully distinguished which are opportunities, which are futile, and which are traps.

When she was introduced by Natsuo Okamoto to Tokuma Records staff, she knew it was futile. In the social gatherings organized by the firm, she knew that it was an inaccessible trap to imply someone who could help her.

And now, the person who ignited her dream is right in front of her.

In the face of opportunities, she is not a shy ghost who just waits for others to attack.

Sachiko Puchi looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, and said to him, "Yes, I like it very much. Because singing has always been my dream." She expressed her dream with a frankness that is rare for a restrained person. come out.

She is not afraid that talking about dreams in front of Shinichi Iwahashi will make her look ugly, and she also believes that if it is someone like Iwahashi-san who can bring dreams to others and make them "dreams come true", she will never laugh at anyone dream.

Such an attitude made Yanqiao Shinichi look at him with admiration.

The "rock spirit" is reflected in many places and exists in various ways.But in his opinion, the moment when the young model Sachiko Kamachi raps and sings is a dream, but it can also be called "rock spirit".

His sense of anticipation for this Sachiko Puchi, in addition to his previous appreciation for her voice, has an additional appreciation for her herself.

Such a person...

As soon as Yanqiao Shen thought that she was a contracted model of Stardust Agency, he seemed to see an invisible sea lying in front of the two of them, making him wonder how to cross this sea.

……

Pu Chi Xingzi signed the first contract at Stardust Agency, which is probably the basic newcomer contract. In view of the special nature of the profession of modeling, the contract period is either three years or five years, so it is not possible to sign a longer contract.

Although she is only a small model artist, so far, Stardust Agency has not given her much resources and investment, but in fact, the more such an artist, the more such a first contract, the liquidated damages will be fixed. The higher the.

Because the firm will take into account the investment in the cultivation of the signed artist during the first contract period and the accumulation of the artist during this period, the more newcomers, the more they need to be cultivated.

In addition, it is also necessary to consider the poaching of other firms, and set a high liquidated damages, which is also to prevent external hoes.In addition to guarding against outside hoes, it can also guard against the contracted artists themselves.

During the contract period, the contract cannot be terminated even if it is not popular and is placed in cold storage until the end of the contract. If you want to unilaterally terminate the contract, you have to pay liquidated damages out of your own pocket.

Therefore, even if she is just a small model artist, if you want to recruit her from Stardust Agency, you can't "buy" her with just a few dollars.

Besides, even if he can think of a way to deal with liquidated damages, the affairs of the entertainment industry cannot be solved by money alone.

After Gohiromi was poached from Johnny by Zhou Fangyuxiong of BRUNING office, in order to get the forgiveness of the old boss Kitagawa, she personally went to the door to apologize to him.

Because behind Gohiromi is Zhou Fang Yuxiong, who has a deep background in both black and white, even if he was stabbed, Kitagawa would have to pinch his nose to recognize it—of course, it is not a firm with a deep background, and it is impossible to poach the top card of other companies. The role is it.

But on the other hand, if Gohiromi set up a firm independently, or if she really lost her mind and went to a firm that is not strong enough, then it is estimated that she will be blocked forever.

Even the president of Manyumi Watanabe, who is known to be kind to his artists, if the artist does not terminate the contract with the agency peacefully but wants to run around because of his wings, he will issue a ban order to let the artist have a hard time with the agency. There will be no work to do in the future.

If there is no strong support, it will only slowly expire during the refrigeration period.

This is to maintain the authority of the firm, and it is also a tacit "hidden rule" in the entertainment industry.It is not only deterring and restraining artists, but also deterring those small firms that do not have two brushes, so that they do not use their brains.

As for those tough big firms, the so-called "hidden rules" have always bowed their heads in front of tough things.In other words, it has always been these big firms that adhere to such "hidden rules" while ignoring and destroying them.

Regarding this banning order, it is actually very similar to an ancient thing.

In the fireworks venues in ancient times, disobedient prostitutes who wanted to escape would be beaten and punished once they were caught.This kind of punishment is similar to the modern society's prohibition order for artists.

In the old days, artists and yakuza were classified as one category by the society, and artists had to seek the protection of yakuza wherever they wanted to perform.Because of these historical reasons, the relationship between Jidao and the entertainment world is inextricably linked.

This is not only reflected in the fact that the backers and even the investors behind many firms are Yakuza, but also in the fact that these things that used to be the rules of the Yakuza have gradually become the rules of the entertainment industry.

Artists changing jobs are like extremists breaking through to join other groups.

Those who are kicked out by their own group will be counted separately. If they are poached by other groups, for the sake of face, they will probably have to fight fiercely.Jidao attaches great importance to face, and sometimes he can even go all out for the sake of face.

The entertainment industry also values ​​face. In order to save face, they can even fight to the death with an artist until he is banned until there is no one left.

Because, once you lose face, you will be looked down upon later, and more sharks will be attracted because of this bleeding wound.At that time, the office will be divided up.

Therefore, even if it is a small model artist, if he pays liquidated damages to buy it, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to make a mainstream debut. The Star Agency will fight him and Sachiko Puchi to the end for their own face.Even Shinichi Iwahashi will be exiled for breaking the rules of the industry.From beginning to end, this is not a problem that can be solved only by money.

Or the contract can be terminated peacefully, and the matter of Sachiko Puchi can be handled harmoniously, then a stronger force is needed.

It's like when the Jidao team and the Jidao team are deadlocked, the only way for both parties to come down and end the dispute is to invite a godfather who is highly respected in the Jidao to preside over the overall situation, and let the two sides shake hands and make peace.

If Sachiko Kamaike is poached, she will definitely re-sign U-MIZ with Mayumi Watanabe.

Wanyumi Watanabe has been in contact with the entertainment world since she was a child, and she knows all about poaching. Because of this, after Shinichi Iwahashi told her that the lead singer Haruko Akamatsu had hired had signed with Stardust Agency, she didn't ask further.

On the premise that the selection meeting has already been held, and I still agree in my heart that Izumi Inamura performed well, Wanyumi Watanabe doesn't want to consider a lead singer who has never met before and already has a lead singer, adding unnecessary trouble.

Or take Kamaike Sachiko's audition tape to Watanabe Wanyumi, convince her with the ability she actually showed, and win her support... okay?
Sachiko Puchi told Yanqiao Shenyi her dream happily, but Yanqiao Shenyi was shaken even more.

Is it worth it for her to give up the candidate for the lead singer who was finally found in the audition, and to deal with Stardust Agency for her, just to receive her dream to me?

Iwahashi Shinichi chatted with Kawachi Sachiko for a while, and suddenly suggested to her that she would try singing again.Sachiko Puchi digested his words for a while, then nodded in agreement.

The three people sitting here got up together, and Haruko Akamatsu also walked to the console.

Seiichiro Kuribayashi stepped aside, and Shinichi Iwahashi picked up the monitor earphones, intending to monitor the shed for Sachiko Kamaike himself, and at the same time told Haruko Akamatsu, "Akamatsu, can you help adjust the recording equipment?"

Akamatsu Haruko agreed and walked into the recording room.

Through the glass wall, I saw her busy with her hands and feet inside.

"In short, you can sing whatever you want and like." Iwahashi Shin said to Kamaike Sachiko, "It doesn't have to be rock and roll, you can sing whatever song you think you are good at."

Puchi Xingzi bowed to him and agreed.

Akamatsu Haruko adjusted the equipment and came out.Sachiko Puchi walked into the recording room, the two girls faced each other, and Haruko Akamatsu silently gave her an encouraging look.

Kuchi Sachiko raised the corners of her mouth slightly to salute her.

Once in the studio, it was like falling into another world.The faint depression that there is only one left in the world, and that no one will come to her no matter what happens, once again weighs on Sachiko Kabochi's heart.

Across the glass wall, Shinichi Iwahashi, Haruko Akamatsu, and Seiichiro Kuribayashi were all there.

Yanqiao Shinichi had already put on the earphones, pointed to the microphone, and then lowered his head to look at the console, only waiting for her feedback: "Ready."

Sachiko Kawachi took a deep breath, picked up the monitor earphones and put them on.
