Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 473
Hearing this, Yanqiao Shinichi was quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, Wanyumi Watanabe had a little friendship with his sister in private.

In the matter of establishing a record company, Wanyumi Watanabe had contact with Asako Iwahashi, and the two professional women had a good impression of each.

Iwahashi Shinichi had vacated his schedule for the wedding a few weeks in advance. With such a big fanfare, Watanabe Manyumi naturally knew that this day was the day when Asako Iwahashi got married.

However, she didn't have a deep friendship with Yanqiao Chaozi, and she couldn't go to the wedding ceremony.Even so, a week before the wedding, a gift was sent to Iwahashi Asako's office to congratulate her on her newlyweds.

In response, Asako Iwahashi also sent Mayumi Watanabe a wedding gift in return.

"So."

Yanqiao Shenyi didn't intend to ask the extent of the so-called lack of friendship between the domineering president and his elite sister, and what she thinks of Chaozi, so she turned to another question: "As Chaozi's younger brother, I have What can be congratulated."

He was still worried about Wanyumi Watanabe's ridicule just now, and he felt that his sister and Wanyumi Watanabe had joined forces to put on a show, which made Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately speak up against her.

Occasionally, I saw him being so narrow-minded—the point is that occasionally, Watanabe Wanyumi didn't think he was looking for trouble, but thought it was quite amusing, and deliberately pushed back, "Asako-sang is married, congratulations to Shinichi-kun for being the first marriage in the family order."

You yourself are not the same...

Before Yanqiao Shenyi opened his mouth to complain, he realized Watanabe Mayumi's incomparably subtle "yes", and couldn't help laughing. The idea of ​​wanting to continue arguing with her just now disappeared.

As expected of Mayumi Watanabe, she can resolve the matter with ease.

But, so far, neither of the two of them continued to treat the matter of marriage as a joke.

……

After attending the wedding, I made a special trip to Wanyumi Watanabe's office, definitely not for the purpose of being scalded by her eyes.On the eve of the wedding, Shinichi Iwahashi and Hiroyuki Narita reached a consensus that it was business to convey this matter to her.

However, after hearing Manyumi Watanabe say that she had some friendship with Asako Iwahashi, Shinichi Iwahashi was a little curious, thinking that Hiroyuki Narita, who got to know Manyumi Watanabe through him, knew that Asako and Manyumi Watanabe had been in private contact for a long time?

But in the next second, I made a negative in my heart.

With Iwahashi Asako's personality, she wouldn't do this kind of transgressive thing.Conversely, even if Hiroyuki Narita wanted to get to know Wanyumi Watanabe, the way he chose must be through Shinichi Iwahashi.

"...Anyway, I talked about this with brother-in-law Narita yesterday."

Wanyumi Watanabe smiled after listening, "Narita-san is also willing to help contact? That will be much smoother."

There are some things that need not be said clearly, Narita Hiroyuki is Iwahashi Shinichi's brother-in-law, and he is the strength he can win over there.Shinichi Iwahashi threw a signal for help to Hiroyuki Narita, and enlisted his brother-in-law to join, in order to get rid of the situation where he could only rely on the influence of the Watanabe family.

The joining of Hiroyuki Narita will not play a decisive role in the promotion of the band this time.But just getting him involved, getting closer, and the more involved, the more he can do for the partnership.

In the long run, the more power that can be used, the better.At first it was a leverage, and later it was a win-win situation.

Using Narita Hiroyuki's joining as an introduction, the two chatted about this promotional plan.

It was decided to sing the re-arranged "Future Vision II" at the Red and White Song Festival, and the original publicity plan that Iwahashi Shin must have made will also change accordingly.

That's how it happened, and it was Prime Minister Zhuge who had a clever plan.

"Originally, I wanted to focus the publicity on the next year, but now, I need to adjust it."

Yanqiao Shinichi said that he wanted to add a piece of publicity during the period of time before the year, and promote the song with great fanfare through radio broadcasts.

"Singing on the radio." Wanyumi Watanabe thought for a while.

Yanqiao Shinichi told her, "The locust is critically ill, and the self-suppression order was promulgated, which greatly affected folk entertainment activities. If the wedding of Sister Chaozi hadn't been booked a few months in advance, I'm afraid it wouldn't be held as usual."

"Not only are large-scale events affected, but in the current situation, the end-of-year year-end parties cannot be held with such fanfare as in previous years. As for various Christmas events, they can only be cancelled."

"Such an atmosphere, wouldn't it be boring for couples in love?"

Yanqiao Shinichi asked jokingly, his tone full of gloating about being single.

Originally, Christmas, the winter Valentine's Day when couples took the opportunity to come out to abuse dogs, was the day when men and women and men and women dated, gave gifts, ate, slept, and now, because of the self-sufficiency order, the shopping streets were deserted, and many original plans had to be scrapped.

"However, men may take the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief."

In response to him, Wanyumi Watanabe also joked casually.

Indeed, if the plan fails, it will save a lot of dating expenses.In this era when men pay all the bills and may not get a date, it is indeed worth the men quietly breathing a sigh of relief and secretly thanking the locust for its critical illness.

"However, this kind of 'boring' may also become our opportunity." Yanqiao Shen said.

If the end of this year is running at full speed as usual, couples will not be delayed in eating, drinking and having fun. Rather than listening to a slowly advancing "Future Vision II", everyone is probably more willing to go to the disco to dance a song "Jun の Hitomi"に恋してる~Can't Take My Eyes Off You".

But in this boring Christmas, in this atmosphere that needs restraint, couples who are forced to slow down the pace of rushing forward at high speed may be able to pay more attention to the "Future Vision II" than usual. song.

"In addition, there may have been a hundred ways to express love in the past. Because of the self-restraint order, there may be only [-] ways to express love. Now at this juncture, promoting "Future Vision II" may become a A new kind."

"Five taps on the brake lights?"

Yanqiao nodded cautiously, "That's right. So, I'm going to play this song on the car radio."

Of course, the scene in the lyrics is that after the hero sent the heroine downstairs, he flashed five times when he watched her enter the door, not when he was driving on the road.

If it was the latter, even if the production team had brain twitches and released the song without changing a word, it is estimated that the folk broadcasting alliance would ask for rectification because the lyrics conveyed a dangerous direction.

Although Japan does not have an official department to control the entertainment industry, there are a large number of various non-governmental organizations that keep an eye on the industry all the time.This so-called private broadcasting alliance is responsible for keeping an eye on singers.

Those songs with strange lyrics, once they are broadcast, if they are deemed unavailable by the private broadcasting alliance, they will either be taken off the shelves or rectified.

For example, a certain enka tycoon, Saburo Kitajima, the leader of the Beidao group, had his debut single banned directly because of his profanity.

"Hearing this song in the car..." Mayumi Watanabe imagined.

The space in the car is airtight and the atmosphere is quiet. In this environment, I share a car with the object of love, and then the radio broadcasts the song "Future Vision II".

In the quiet and airtight compartment, this slow but slowly advancing song can be given a chance to unfold.

And in a quiet and airtight compartment, hearing the confession of "flash the brake lights five times", whether it is the driver in the driver's seat or the person sitting on the side, in such an atmosphere, such simple confession words, perhaps Just enough to touch people's hearts.

"I copied a few tapes of "Future Vision II" before." Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "I deliberately put it in the car and listened to it for a while, and then decided that playing songs through the radio station is a good way to try. "

"Hmm." Watanabe Mayumi thought thoughtfully.

"One more thing." Shinichi Yanqiao mentioned, "This song lasted for nearly seven and a half minutes. For a song of this length, it is not easy to play songs on other platforms."

"Are you going to play the whole song on the radio?" Watanabe Mayumi asked.

Yanqiao nodded cautiously, "That's right. You said before that this song is characterized by interlocking, and removing a certain part of the lyrics will make it lose its color....Unless you are familiar with it."

"So, it is necessary to go through the radio station in advance to make this song familiar."

After listening to it, Wanyumi Watanabe pointed out, "If this is the case, the Kohaku Song Club will still have promotion for the next year, what should we do with the previous plan?"

Originally, I wanted to use the stage of the Red and White Song Club to play songs, but now, with the addition of the radio station, the original idea of ​​the Red and White Song Club has lost its meaning?

"The plan must be adjusted according to the changes." Yanqiao Shenyi thought about it in his heart early in the morning, and returned quickly.

"However, it's not too much adjustment. Generally speaking, we still follow the previous plan. It's just," he said slowly about his plan, "Manyumi-san, we might as well change the release date of this new album Postpone."

"..." Wanyumi Watanabe listened.

The release date of this album was postponed until the end of the year, but before the release, the song was played through the radio.

The public listened to the song, but couldn't buy it—because the album hadn't been released yet.Therefore, this song cannot be heard anywhere except on the radio.

Wait until the album is released at the end of the year, and on the night of the Red and White Song Concert, the band will go on stage and sing this song again.At this time, the public also knew who the song that was hyped on the radio and familiar to them came from.

It's Dolimuzi Kangmu Tulu.

"And at the same time as the answer to the mystery was revealed, on the next day, an advertisement was launched on TV according to the original plan." Yanqiao Shinichi said.

Wanyumi Watanabe listened carefully to his version 2.0 plan, thought for a while, and said, "It feels like this plan was born by omitting one thing."

"Ok?"

"It's a single titled "Future Vision II"."

She pointed out, "There was a lot of hype on the radio years ago. According to common sense, this is the specification for a single release. However, the way you promote a single is to promote a single that does not exist."… ...Another idea that is the opposite of others.

"Interesting." Iwahashi Makoto admired her point of view, "As expected of Manyumi-san."

Watanabe Mayumi didn't answer his words.

Yanqiao Shinichi didn't care, and went straight to the point, "So, can this plan get your support? BOSS."

DREAMS COME TRUE is U-MIZ's signed singer, and this kind of publicity resources must be helped by the agency. From this perspective, it is not wrong for the manager to sign with U-MIZ's Iwahashi Shinichi, who is called BOSS.

But obviously, Iwahashi Shinichi called it that on purpose.

However, the long-lost "BOSS" still hit Mayumi Watanabe's smile with great precision.

"I played a seven-and-a-half-minute song on the radio, and I should say, 'As expected of you'." Wanyumi Watanabe complained about him.

According to the regulations of the Music Association, if a song exceeds 5 minutes, it must be counted as two songs.Although this kind of long song is cheap when collecting royalties, but when the singer himself has to pay any fees, he has to calculate it as two songs.

Therefore, U-MIZ has to pay double the fee for playing seven and a half minutes on the radio.

"Anyway, I'm counting on you." Yanqiao Shen said with a smile.

"It's time for me to say 'I'm counting on you'." Wanyumi Watanabe didn't like him, "The promotion fee is getting higher and higher. Now, I have to count on your plan to be a big success and the band's album to be a big hit. welcome."

Having said that, with the money earned by DREAMS COME TRUE's debut single and album, and the potential they have shown, it is not beyond the standard to prepare such a project.

Watanabe Wanyumi fully supports this somewhat inconspicuous publicity plan.

Taking the red and white song meeting as the dividing point, the publicity plan before the red and white song meeting has been re-established, and then the publicity plan after the red and white song meeting needs to be confirmed.

There is no turning back when the bow is opened, so Yanqiao Shinichi simply suggested that the game should be bigger.

"In ordinary album promotional advertisements, there is an audio of the title song in 15 or 30 seconds, and only one album is used as the background of the advertisement. This is not interesting." Yanqiao Shinichi said.

Watanabe Mayumi asked him, "What are you going to do?"

Thanks to the fact that the boss of this firm is Wanyumi Watanabe, if it were someone else, he wouldn't be able to make such a fuss.

"Borrowing from what you said just now, it is an idea that was born after omitting something."

"Ok?"

"It's the MV." Shinichi Iwahashi revealed the answer.

He didn't make a fool of himself, but Mayumi Watanabe was a little confused because of his unprepared directness.

"When releasing a new song, shooting a MV is a common method. This time, to promote the new song, it is better to shoot a MV-like commercial than other promotional advertisements." Shinichi Iwahashi said.

"I saw the increasing funds." Wanyumi Watanabe thought of this first.

Yanqiao Shenyi laughed straight after hearing this, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't let you worry so much, BOSS."...It was intentional again.

It was ridiculous, but he still came up with an idea, "Actually, there is a way to save a little on the cost of advertising."

"What way?" Watanabe Wanyumi looked at him.
