Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 458
"Another chip?"

Yanqiao nodded cautiously, "Actually, it's a strategy I've used once. Yamauchi-san, this year marks the [-]th anniversary of Nansa Ori-san's debut and the [-]th anniversary of his retirement."

"Not only that, this year, her masterpiece "17 Years Old" became popular again and became a momentary topic."

The page of documents in Iwahashi Shinichi's hands is about inviting Shinoyama Kishin to write a magazine serialization project for WINK.

For an idol like Nan Shazhi, every important anniversary after retirement, there will be fans organizing commemorative activities, the record company will also release anniversary selections, and even cooperate with TV stations to do some special programs to drive sales.

This year is an important anniversary after Nansaori's retirement, and because of the popularity of Chisato Moritaka's "17 Years Old", the attention of this original idol has soared. CBS Sony also republished Nansaori's "17 Years Old".

With such a background, coupled with the critical illness of the locust, Showa is about to end. As the original idol, Nan Shazhi is one of the representatives of Showa idol culture. Inviting her to return to the red and white stage must be a big topic.

Since this year's Red and White Songs will be held as usual, it is necessary to ensure the ratings.If you want ratings, you also need topicality.

Retired for ten years, the original idol who became popular again this year with famous songs is back in red and white, this is not a small gimmick.

Yamauchi Jian made it clear, "You mean to use Nansha Zhisang's influence?"

But then he frowned again, "Should Morigao be asked to sing "17 Years Old" with Nansha Zhisang on the same stage? If that's the case, regardless of whether Nansha Zhisang can be persuaded or not, wouldn't Morigao be the foil?"

"How could it be?" Yanqiao Shinichi corrected him.

Not only was Kenichi Yamauchi disapproving of letting the old and new idols sing the same song on the same stage... "Even Nansa Ori-san himself, there is a high probability that he would not agree to sing "17 Years Old" with Morigaka-san."

Kenichi Yamauchi didn't quite understand the reason why Shinichi Iwahashi insisted that Minami Saori couldn't sing "17 Years Old".

"After Morigaka-san's "17 Years Old" became popular, Nansa Ori-san wrote me a letter." Iwahashi Shinichi told him.

This was the first time Yamauchi Kenichi had heard of this, so he couldn't help but focus on it.

"In her letter, she thanked me for choosing to re-produce this song "17 Years Old." Shinichi Iwahashi explained, "The practice of writing a thank-you letter is actually worth thinking about."

Will pay attention to the popularity of "17 Years Old", and write a thank you letter to the producer who has never met because her old song has become popular again. Nan Saori's approach subtly reveals that she is interested in her idol career. Nostalgia for my youth.

Perhaps what she is grateful for is not Iwahashi Shinichi who made the song "17 Years Old" popular, but Iwahashi Shinichi who made her youth reappear in the public eye.

With such nostalgia in her heart, it is destined that she will not completely draw a line with the entertainment world from the moment she puts down the microphone like Momoe Yamaguchi did.

Although she retired and went home, Nan Saori didn't think that everything in the entertainment world had nothing to do with her.

On the other hand, if the cover of Momoe Yamaguchi's "Manjusawa" becomes popular this time, Shinichi Iwahashi will never be whimsical to use the light of this great god to send Chisato Moritaka to red and white.

It is precisely because of such emotions from her letter that when Kenichi Yamauchi mentioned that he wanted to win a red and white spot for Chisato Moritaka, Shinichi Iwahashi would put his mind on her.

As long as Nan Saori can be invited to come out again to perform at the Red and White Song Festival, half of the matter this time will be accomplished.

It seems that Nan Sazhi herself has the possibility of mobilizing her to come out. If she makes a temporary comeback, the red and white singing party for the [-]th anniversary of her retirement, the stage level is enough.

In addition, CBS Sony released another collection for Nan Saori this year, and also republished her "17 Years Old". If Nan Saori can appear in the Red and White Song Club, it will definitely drive record sales.

Driven by interests, there is also the motivation for CBS Sony to work hard for this matter.

"...So, convincing Nansa Ori-san to appear on the red and white stage is not impossible. Besides, NHK can get topicality and ratings from it, and CBS Sony can get benefits from record sales. Everyone has this to work hard on. Motivation. It is better to work hard with others if only your firm works hard.”

"Hmm." Yamauchi Kenichi slowly digested Iwahashi Shinichi's words.

After a while, he said, "You mean to contact CBS Sony to facilitate Nansha Zhisang's appearance in the Red and White Song Concert?"

"That's it." When Yanqiao Shinichi said this, he paused, "But, Yamauchi-san, it's not enough to just persuade Nansa Ori-san to take the stage, and we have to ask her not to sing "17 Years Old" when selecting songs."

"Don't sing "17 Years Old"?" Kenichi Yamauchi felt a little puzzled.

Nan Shazhi became popular this year because of "17 Years Old", so it became a topic again and entered the public's attention.Wouldn't it be nondescript to let her appear on the stage, but not sing "17 Years Old"?
However, he felt that Yanqiao Shinichi still had something to say, so he restrained himself from asking this question.

"As long as Nansha Zhisan can appear in red and white, the probability of Morigaka-san's appearance in red and white will increase, but the high probability is to sing "17 Years Old" together, which will become the foil that you are worried about."

"However, in my opinion, if Nansha Zhisang doesn't sing "17 Years Old", the probability of Sen Gaosang's debut will be higher instead."

Shinichi Iwahashi still emphasizes "not singing "17 Years Old".In his vision, asking Nansha to weave out of the mountain is half the battle, and the other half is what song she chooses to sing.

"One thing is obvious. The public knows why Nansha Zhisang's popularity suddenly soared in the tenth year after her retirement, and she re-entered the public's field of vision. She made her debut, and the public will definitely think about the song "17 Years Old"."

"If she appeared on the red and white stage but didn't sing "17 Years Old", the audience would feel that something was missing."

Yanqiao Shinichi said this, and smiled slightly, "As long as Nansa Ori-san appears on the stage and does not sing "17 Years Old", another person will sing "17 Years Old". At that time, NHK will definitely Let Senko-san come in."

Inviting Nan Shazhi to appear on the stage is not a leverage, but not letting her sing "17 Years Old" is the real leverage.

"It's incredible."

Yamauchi Kenichi was taken aback when he heard that.

The idea of ​​inviting Nanshaori to participate in the Red and White Song Festival is not enough to make Yamauchi Kenichi react in this way.What really surprised him was Shinichi Iwahashi's idea of ​​not letting Nansaori sing "17 Years Old".

As long as Nan Saori doesn't sing "17 Years Old", he must ask Moritaka Chisato to sing "17 Years Old".

Because this song is Nan Shazhi, an idol who has retired for ten years and came out again. Without this song, it would not be justifiable.This kind of name is justifiable, and it is a bargaining chip for Moritaka Chisato on stage.

UP-FRONT AGENCY originally wanted Chisato Moritaka to appear on the red and white songs to increase popularity. As long as it is not reduced to a foil, as for a place to appear alone as red and white, she and Chisato Moritaka will be compiled together to make a special program, none of this is a problem.

According to Iwahashi Shinichi's idea, to encourage Nanshaori to appear in Kohaku, take the initiative to approach CBS Sony, the two sides form an alliance, and go to the Kohaku Song Club together, the success rate is naturally much higher than letting Moritaka Chisato appear alone.

But, there is another thing...

"It doesn't matter whether we invite Ori-san Nansa to play Kohaku, but how can we make Ori-san Nansa not sing "17 Years Old"?" Kenichi Yamauchi pointed out this point.

Even if Nan Shazhi really made her debut, could she still interfere with her song selection?

If Nan Saori chose "17 Years Old" to sing, wouldn't Iwashi Shinichi's idea be completely overturned?Or, if Nan Saori insists on singing "17 Years Old", even if Moritaka Chisato is on stage, it can only be used as a foil.

Faced with this question, Iwahashi Shinichi laughed.

Seeing his smile made Yamauchi Kenichi feel a little uncomfortable.What's so funny about that?

Yanqiao Shenyi noticed his emotions, but he was not in a hurry, and reminded: "Yamauchi-san, there is one thing that cannot be ignored. That is, when considering the return of Nansa Ori-san to the stage, we should not only She is regarded as the original idol, and we should regard her as a 'woman'."

"And a woman's mind is very subtle."

Nan Shazhi was 17 years old when he debuted and retired for ten years. Now he is only 34 years old, which is the best age in his life.However, the beauty of this age is different from the beauty of the idol era.

Such Nansha Zhi, even if she is on the same stage as the young Moritaka Chisato, in terms of appearance, she will not be compared by the younger generation, let alone disillusioned by those who see her.

However, compared to Moritaka Chisato, it is not suitable to sing "17 Years Old".

Women's hearts are very delicate.

Nan Shazhi like this would probably not agree to sing the same song with a female idol in her prime, especially if this song was re-sung by this female idol in her prime.

Therefore, if she releases the news that Moritaka Chisato will also appear in red and white in advance, she will definitely reject singing this song.

If you really go on stage, instead of singing the song "17 Years Old", which was reinterpreted by a young female idol, choose another song that can show her personality in the letter she sent to Iwahashi Shinichi. For the current masterpiece of beauty, the possibility of this is even greater.

And that's why Shinichi Iwahashi thought that there was a high probability that Nan Saori would not sing this song from the very beginning.

Of course, if Nan Shazhi didn't think so and felt that it would be okay to sing "17 Years Old", then she could also consider persuading her. As for the idea of ​​persuading her, the idea of ​​persuasion is also clear, which is to use this subtle female intention.

Anyway, it was definitely easier to persuade her to change her mind than to approach the production committee of the Red and White Song Club.

"sorry."

After hearing what Shinichi Iwahashi said, Yamauchi Kenichi sighed, "Can I say 'unbelievable' again?"

Faced with his reaction, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't feel complacent, but said politely: "The general idea is like this. Other than that, I can't think of any other way to ensure Moriko-san's appearance at the Red and White Song Festival."

"This method is already very powerful...if it works." Kenichi Yamauchi had to admit this.

The idea given by Shinichi Iwahashi is just like the idea of ​​making a fuss about "sense of the times" in general magazines to make "17 Years Old" popular, which is absurd and unbelievable enough.

However, if that level can really be achieved, the goal will be achieved.

"So, whether it will work or not depends on your firm." Yanqiao Shinichi said.

When you just come up with ideas and don't have to operate them yourself, you can say anything and dare to come up with any ideas, even without considering the difficulty.

"You gave me another idea like an acrobatic show." Kenichi Yamauchi smiled wryly.At this moment, I can't help but think back to the time when I was approached by the writer of a comprehensive weekly magazine to promote Chisato Moritaka.

Anyway, the idea has been given, whether it will be used or not, depends on how UP-FRONT AGENCY does it.

Therefore, when Iwahashi Shinichi faced Yamauchi Kenichi, he just laughed.

……

On one side, he made suggestions for Kenichi Yamauchi, and on the other side, Wanyumi Watanabe teamed up with CBS Sony to fight for the red and white performance spots for DREAMS COME TRUE.

On AMUSE's side, it's good to have BEGIN appear in the Kohaku Uta, but after all, it doesn't have the determination to win like Watanabe Wanyumi.

And after the relationship with Shinichi Iwahashi changed from a three-legged relationship to a cooperation, Wanyumi Watanabe got the support of Misa Watanabe, and her contacts were wider than before. Not only that, with the support of Misa Watanabe, the power of Watanabe Productions can also be used for she used.

Coupled with the support of Watanabe Productions, this time the red and white spots were successfully defeated by BEGIN.

So far, DREAMS COME TRUE's performance in the Red and White Song Concert has been settled.However, after finalizing this matter, the production committee of the Hongbai Song Club suddenly made a request to U-MIZ.

Can't sing the band's debut song.

……

"So happy, so happy, so happy."

In U-MIZ's president's office, Shinichi Iwahashi stared at Mayumi Watanabe and read the name of the band's debut single with a puzzled expression on his face.

Wanyumi Watanabe suppressed a smile, looking at his rare face with such an expression.

"Because the title of the debut song is too joyful, it is suspected of cursing the locust to death, so I can't perform at the Red and White Song Festival. I hope to change another song."

Yan Qiaoxin repeated the reason why Watanabe Manyumi told him that the production committee of the Kohaku Uta Club asked them to change the song, and suddenly smiled: "It's hard to imagine that this happened in modern society."

When he smiled, Mayumi Watanabe couldn't bear it anymore and smiled.

However, she could think about it, "However, in modern Japan, it is not surprising that such a thing happened."

Since the locust was critically ill and the self-suppression order was issued, this kind of thing happened from time to time.On TV, because the advertisements broadcast were too joyful or used words such as "congratulations", they were warned to provoke the locust room and had to be withdrawn urgently.

Now, the self-suppression order has also come to them.

NHK didn't want to cause trouble and attract criticism, and was besieged by the shit-stirring sticks, so they simply said hello in advance and asked the band not to sing such songs at the Red and White Song Concert.

"I thought that the band's most popular song this year would be "So Happy! So Happy! I Love It!". NHK should have excluded the band from the list from the very beginning, so why bother now."

Yanqiao Shenyi made a complaint, and suddenly he realized something.

　Happy Women's Day to our female readers.I should have female readers, right?
