"So, are you going?" Watanabe Mayumi asked.

Yanqiao Shinichi said, "Of course I'm going."

Anyway, I have already experienced Wanyumi Watanabe's mother and sister, and this brother-in-law is not bad.Shinichi Iwahashi was full of energy, and Mayumi Watanabe didn't say anything, and played a prank secretly.

Conveying such an out-of-shape invitation to Iwahashi Shinichi, Watanabe Manyumi booked a restaurant and invited Masaki Yoshida to dinner.Rubbing the domineering president rubbing against the addicted Yanqiao Shinichi, put on his mouth and move his legs, rubbing against her car first, then her meal.

Yoshida Masaki is of medium height, dark complexion, looks like an ordinary office worker, and looks older than his actual age.When we met, Watanabe Wanyumi served as the introducer, and Iwahashi Shinichi exchanged business cards with him.

The three of them met because of business, and when they sat together, they talked about work.

"Manyumi told me Iwahashi-san's plan." Yoshida Masaki was kind to others, but he didn't feel hypocritical at all, and he was easy to get along with.

Looking at Wanyumi Watanabe's natural demeanor in front of this brother-in-law, one can understand a corner of Yoshida Masaki's character.

……

Masaki Yoshida had heard a lot about Shinichi Iwahashi before, and he admired this man, but now that he met him, the young man's speech and behavior gave a good impression.

Iwahashi Shinichi proposed to set up a line with the investors behind the animation production company. This idea is special enough. Not only that, but as far as it is concerned, it also means "non-mainstream". However, Yoshida Masaki did not think his idea was whimsical.

This kind of trust comes from the talent shown by Iwahashi Shinichi when he participated in the production of variety shows.

Thinking back on his previous writings, this person seems to play his cards unreasonably, but in fact, he is more practical than anyone else, and he is closely related to fashion.

With such a preconceived impression, Masaki Yoshida heard Wanyumi Watanabe talk about Shinichi Iwahashi's idea, thought about Shinichi Iwahashi's plan, and felt that the future he envisioned seemed logical.

Of course, the envisioned future is something that has not yet come true. What really makes this plan feasible is the proposal to seek investment from the upper-level company of the animation production company.It was after going around this circle that it was possible for this idea to be realized.

……

The three of them chatted for a while, and Shinichi Iwahashi was obedient, and guessed that the strange request conveyed by Wanyumi Watanabe was not Masaki Yoshida's own thoughts, so he couldn't help but glance at her.

Received his gaze, Mayumi Watanabe, who succeeded in playing a prank, acted as if nothing had happened, and did not react as a person who revealed her secrets should have at all.Or it should be said that this is not "revealing the secret", but "revealing the mystery".

Anyway, the two of them couldn't argue about this in front of Masaki Yoshida, and Shinichi Iwahashi could only laugh.

It was Yoshida Masaki who brought this subtle little interaction between the two into his eyes.

Masaki Yoshida's curiosity about Shinichi Iwahashi comes not only from his appreciation of his talents, but also from his curiosity about the relationship between him and Mayumi Watanabe.

Seeing Shinichi Iwahashi today, Yoshida Masaki didn't feel that the relationship between the two was ambiguous, but he could sense the tacit understanding between the two.

These two people are not only a perfect match in their careers, but also have a tacit understanding when they talk.

When Watanabe Wanyumi and Iwahashi Shinichi's band Tianguo was a big success, Yoshida Masaki once said to his wife that it would be nice if Iwahashi Shinichi could join Watanabe's family in the future.

Yoshida Miki felt that what her husband said was stupid, but Yoshida Masaki didn't just say it on a whim.

After Watanabe Shin passed away, as the only male in this woman's family, Yoshida Masaki also shouldered such a different kind of responsibility, and had to worry about his sister-in-law's lifelong affairs.

Since both father-in-law and mother-in-law planned to let Watanabe Wanyumi recruit a wife, he, the brother-in-law, also took this matter to heart.

Those in the arts industry, if they want to recruit a son-in-law, most of them will also choose someone from the industry.

Shinichi Iwahashi has outstanding abilities and a low background. The cooperation with Mayumi Watanabe these few times has been brilliant. He is still a staff member produced by Watanabe, and he knows the basics.In Yoshida Masaki's eyes, this is a perfect candidate for his sister-in-law.

Yoshida Miki felt that her husband's idea was boring and whimsical, and was angry that he associated his sister with Iwahashi Shinichi.But Masaki Yoshida never gave up on this idea.This time Wanyumi Watanabe is going to cooperate with Shinichi Iwahashi in the record company, and it just so happens that he has the opportunity to meet Shinichi Iwahashi.

Now that they met each other, he had a better impression of Iwahashi Shinichi, and felt that the two were a good match.Yoshida Masaki has his own way of doing business, but when it comes to these things, his ideas are very simple.

His attitude is not only because of Wanyumi Watanabe, but also because of his admiration for Shinichi Iwahashi.

……

"After Wanyumi told me about Iwahashi-san's idea, I also went to investigate, and it really helped me find a suitable investor." Masaki Yoshida was very efficient in handling affairs, and he came prepared this time.

"How about Takeda Printing Company?" Yoshida Masaki reported the name of a printing company.

Printing company?

Masaki Yoshida revealed the answer, Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe subconsciously exchanged glances.

"Taketa Printing is one of the top ten large-scale printing companies in China. Its printing business also includes comics, newspapers and magazines, and text novels. They are shareholders of Japan Animation Company and have a business partnership relationship with Toei Animation. Not only that, but also have a good relationship with the publishers of those bookstores." Masaki Yoshida explained.

"Japanese animation company?" Watanabe Wanyumi responded, "Is it the Japanese animation company that produced "World Masterwork Theater"?"

"That's right, that's the one, "Girl in the Alps" and "Three Thousand Miles to Find My Mother." Masaki Yoshida casually reported two cartoons produced by Japanese animation companies, perfectly revealing his age——

These two world-famous theater series are both products of the 70s. The animation director is none other than Hayao Miyazaki's good partner Xun Takahata.

From 1974 to 1979, Miyazaki Hayao and Takahata Xun co-directed several world famous theater series at Nippon Animation Company.

The name of the Japanese animation company sounds majestic, but it was actually founded by staff who were independent when Tezuka Osamu's insect production animation company went bankrupt.

Japanese animation companies are famous for producing world-famous theater series. They adapted children's literature and folk tales from Europe into animations. The entire series has continued since 1974.Not only popular in the country, but also sold overseas.

The characteristics of the two-dimensional world that blur the country, race, and customs are fully reflected in this world famous theater series.

Animation works adapted from European children's literature produced by a Japanese team were exported to Europe and broadcast on European TV stations. Europeans who watched the animation did not even know that it was a Japanese work.

Another point is that the copyright fee for exporting cartoons to Europe is much higher than exporting them to Asia. Therefore, Japanese animation companies are committed to selling animations to Omi, and this Japanese animation company has also gained fame and fortune through this series of theaters.

Not only that, from the cooperation in 1974 to the present, we have also accumulated considerable friendship with Fuji TV.

The relationship between an animation production company and a TV station, for example, is almost similar to the relationship between a production company and a record company.

The production company made the record, but it did not have the ability to distribute it. If there was no record company as the distributor, then there was no way to get the record on the shelf of the record store.

Similarly, if the animation production company does not have a TV station willing to be the distributor, there is no way for the animation produced to be broadcast successfully.

Conversely, the record company can not only help the production company release the record, but also find the production company to cooperate with them to produce a certain singer's record, and the TV station can also find the animation production company to jointly produce with them.

……

Japanese animation company is not that kind of large company in the animation industry. Yoshida Masaki would propose to go to Takeda Printing Company. The most important thing is their business relationship with Toei Animation and their special status as a printing company—— The relationship with the publishing house will be good.

Takeda Printing Company is one of the top ten printing companies in Japan, and this name can scare off quite a few people.

However, Japan has an absolute ACE among printing companies, occupying 26.3% of the domestic printing market, and Toppan Printing Company, whose business covers the world, is inferior to Toppan Printing Company, a veteran printing company with a domestic market share of 26%. Printing company.

These two giants have eaten up more than half of the printing market share in Japan, and Zhutian Printing Company is not He Qizheng after Jiaduobao and Wanglaoji. There are several printing giants ahead of him. Strength, but not to the point where it cannot be unattainable.

Of course, this is not an unattainable conclusion, and it can only be made on the premise of getting the support of Watanabe Productions.If there is no production of Watanabe to make the bridge behind, but Shinichi Iwahashi himself, he will definitely not be able to knock on their door rashly.

……

It was a great meal.

After finishing the business of meeting Masaki Yoshida, the next topic of the three of them became more casual.However, Yoshida Masaki, who was a variety show producer, discussed the most with Iwahashi Shinichi about the production of variety shows.

"Don't look at these irrelevant gossips. I don't know how many good programs are born out of such gossips." When Masaki Yoshida talked about the production of variety shows, he was in high spirits, and he lost his ordinary work routine. family look.

"Indeed." Yanqiao Shen nodded in agreement.

Among other things, the first inspiration for the fellowship show that the fat young man Akimoto Yasushi is having a lot of fun with was when he was playing with the bartender lady, he said it casually.

As for whether it is a good program, anyway, the ratings are pretty good now, and Fuji TV is planning to continue the second episode.

"When I was young, the producers of Fuji TV and my father were discussing program ideas casually in the living room at home." Wanyumi Watanabe made the conversation between the two of them evoke the memories of her teenage years.

"The little ideas they often talk about will appear on TV at some point."

When Masaki Yoshida heard Wanyumi Watanabe talk about this incident, he looked yearning, "So, this is what makes TV producers so powerful."

The ideas conceived while smoking a cigarette turned into a show for all ages to entertain the public. Such a sense of accomplishment is fascinating, and it is also a "privilege" enjoyed by the man in black behind the scenes.

……

After the meal, Masaki Yoshida said goodbye to the two of them outside the restaurant.On the occasion of parting, Yoshida Masaki said: "Iwahashi-san and Wan Yumi's previous collaborations have received very good responses, and this time is also very exciting."

"I wish you two success." Yoshida Masaki's tone was kind and friendly.

Watanabe Wanyumi and Iwahashi Shinichi thanked him.Yoshida Masaki said goodbye to them and got into the car.

Send Masaki Yoshida away, only the two of them.

Shinichi Iwahashi settled the accounts after autumn, and asked Wanyumi Watanabe, "If I don't come here in person, Yoshida-san won't help. Did you say it yourself?"

When he mentioned this matter again, Wanyumi Watanabe smiled, but didn't answer the question, and asked, "What do you think? Takeda Printing Company."

She diverted the topic like this, Yanqiao Shenyi was inconvenient to chase after him, but he was still a little unwilling to let him go like this, so he replied, "It's heart-warming."

Wanyumi Watanabe laughed hard when she got such an answer, "Okay." After smiling, she told Shinichi Iwahashi: "In that case, I'll go back and discuss it with my mother."

When it comes to this part, Iwahashi Shinichi will not express his opinion, but just listen.

The two got into the car together, Wanyumi Watanabe saw that it was still early, and reported the address of the old house to the driver, apparently planning to discuss it with Misa Watanabe and ask for a charter.

The car started, and the emotionless driver drove his car silently.

They had a very happy conversation just now, but along the way, the two had nothing to say and kept silent all the way.Shinichi Iwahashi considered the Takeda Printing Company proposed by Masaki Yoshida, occasionally distracted, and glanced at Mayumi Watanabe. She also looked thoughtful, not knowing what she was thinking.

Yanqiao Shinichi was a little curious, but it was inconvenient to ask.

It was almost at Watanabe's old house that Watanabe Wanyumi opened her mouth and said, "Thank you today, Shinichi-kun."

Yanqiao Shenben wanted to ask, "Did I do anything worthy of being thanked?", but before saying it, he thought for a while, so he changed his words and replied: "Nothing."

After receiving such an answer, Wanyumi Watanabe breathed a sigh of relief.

The car stopped outside Watanabe's old house, and Wanyumi Watanabe got out of the car.Yanqiao Shinichi skillfully picked up her handbag and handed it over.

"Good night," Mayumi Watanabe said to him, taking the handbag.

Yanqiao Shinichi also replied, "Good night."

Wanyumi Watanabe entered the old house, and the driver who had no emotion restarted the car.Yanqiao Shen looked at the time and felt that it was too early to go home, so instead of asking the driver to take him home directly, he asked him to take him to Yoyogi's recording studio.

The car drove forward, and another car behind it drove towards Watanabe's old house.
