Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 545
The initial sales of ZARD's debut single, the reported data is [-] copies. In this era of slow sales of records, it is quite an exciting start.

For pure rookie bands with no popularity accumulation, record sales have always been steady. At least one month after the release of the debut single, we can judge whether the debut is a success or a failure based on the sales trend.

Therefore, there are very few record companies who will talk about heroes based on their initial moves when promoting newcomers. Even, no matter how bad the sales are, they will insist on releasing three or five albums first before deciding whether to give up.

And ZARD's [-] singles, as a pure rookie band, can be regarded as a very qualified start.

In particular, if one considers that this is the number sold when more than half of the publicity preparations made in the early stage were not used due to the ban on entertainment in the first seven days of the locust. , this performance is even better.

With such a figure, the top executives of the record company were very optimistic and satisfied.

After all, he made his debut at such an opportunity. Before his debut, he also made his debut planning on the premise that "the national funeral may come at any time", and he had already prepared himself for the impact on his debut momentum.

Moreover, in order to cooperate with the biggest publicity of the debut single: the theme song of Yuejiu, when the publicity plan was first formulated, the company focused the publicity on Yuejiu after the broadcast.

Because of the postponement of September [-], the original publicity plan was also postponed—fortunately, it was postponed, not canceled directly.Therefore, the time for formal efforts has not yet come.

However, even if more than half of the publicity has not been used, nearly half of the publicity has come in handy.And these propagandas that have been used are divided into two parts.

Part of it is some small publicity before the band's debut and the first two days after its debut. This part of the publicity is concentrated in the Tokyo circle. Compared with the heavy publicity that has not yet started, it is the level of appetizers.

The other part is the publicity that Shinichi Iwahashi led the team to Osaka to fight for.

Because they knew this, everyone didn't have the idea that "the real game will start after the end of the first seven".

Rather, it is a consensus that although the game has begun, it has not yet entered a good stage.

When Yanqiao Shenyi got this initial sales volume, he was more concerned about where the [-] singles were sold than the number of [-] singles.

In the first week, the entire Tokyo circle added up, and this debut single sold about [-] copies.

In the Tokyo circle, affected by the national mourning period, all kinds of entertainment activities were suspended, all scheduled promotions were postponed, and the scope of the promotions that had been done was too small. Under such circumstances, a newly debuted band naturally had no sense of existence.

It was expected that it would not be sold, so, seeing the thousand or so pieces of data, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't think much of it.Although this figure is not very good.

However, among the more than 9000 singles, almost [-] were sold from the Kansai region.It can be said that the Kansai people supported this sales figure.

Seeing this number, Iwahashi Shinichi really felt that the ball he threw had "hit".

The band's song-playing program recorded on Kansai TV broadcasted two episodes, and Kansai Broadcasting also exchanged resources with DREAMS COME TRUE, and exchanged for the opportunity to promote ZARD Radio.

When the Tokyo side was shut down, everything in Osaka was basically business as usual.Shinichi Iwahashi teamed up to "buy insurance" in Osaka and won the opportunity to publicize. This moment was what he was waiting for.

These [-] singles are the return of the insurance he bought.Or should I say, the first round of returns.

A band that has just debuted and is very unfamiliar to the public can sell [-] copies a week in Kansai, which is a pretty good statistic.

The sales of [-] copies are enough for local TV stations and radio stations to give some attention to ZARD.And the sales of [-] singles are also [-] seeds sprinkled to the public.

Seven thousand seeds fall, and I don't know how many fruits they can bear.

After the first seven days of Tianlocust ended, the promotional programs that had been postponed before will start broadcasting one after another, and the drama on the ninth day of the month will also be broadcast on the next Monday.

While the publicity plan on the Tokyo side is restarted, the fruits of the seeds sown on the Osaka side will also be combined from the inside to the outside.That's when the game really gets better.

This trip to Osaka, if the locust had not died, there would not have been such a development.

Iwahashi Shin is confident about the prospect of ZARD's debut single.

……

On Sunday night, Shinichi Iwahashi went to have dinner with his sister and brother-in-law as scheduled.

When Hiroyuki Narita and Asako decided to get married, they bought an apartment in Shinagawa together.When the housing price was at its peak, being able to buy a house in Shinagawa, while lamenting the bloodliness of the couple, Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but wonder in his heart how much his sister and brother-in-law had borrowed.

However, the family combination of lawyer + Dentsu MAN gives people a feeling that in the bubble era, you have to live in a luxury house to match your status.

Although buying a house in the bubble era was not a good choice for Iwahashi Shinichi, the couple bought a house to live together, and there is a difference between just needing it and using it for speculation.

If you say "Don't buy a house!" to a couple who want to buy a house and get married, there is a high probability that they will be regarded as stupid fools.

Or, for couples like them, buying a house together when they get married can also be seen as a guarantee for married life.

Guaranteed to be "serious".

……

In the past year, Yanqiao Shinichi has been in contact with his sister and brother-in-law a lot, and the two have become more familiar and more natural.

During the dinner, Iwahashi Shinichi mentioned DREAMS COME TRUE.As soon as he mentioned the band, he didn't talk about his serious business. Hiroyuki Narita was full of praise for the advertising plan he made on the TV station earlier.

Although the pen is big, its success is beyond doubt.

Sales are rising, popularity and fame are both rising, and the current DREAMS COME TRUE is in the upward stage of momentum.

Of course, this success that Hiroyuki Narita is full of praise is also the confidence that Shinichi Iwahashi can take the initiative to ask his brother-in-law for help.If the band is still unknown, it would be difficult to mention such a thing.

If you are too weak and come to ask for help, it will be a stalker—of course, if you are too weak, even if you go to stalk, you will only make Narita Hiroyuki and Asako look down on you and refuse.

Yanqiao Shinichi has been in contact with his sister and brother-in-law a lot, and he also understands the thoughts of the couple.

Sure enough, Shinichi Iwahashi's band was going on a tour to find sponsors, and tailor-made promotional songs for the sponsor's advertisements. After telling these things to Hiroyuki Narita, the brother-in-law agreed to help out.

At the beginning, Narita Hiroyuki only knew that Asako's younger brother was not paying attention when he opened a production company in the entertainment industry.

As a result, time and time again, after seeing his talent, he also looked at him more and more differently.Since he is optimistic about his brother-in-law's future in the industry, and the current achievements of DREAMS COME TRUE are obvious to all, he is not stingy about speaking for him and helping out as much as he can.

To put it bluntly, to be optimistic about his future, appropriate "investment" is also necessary.

But no matter what the reason is, for Iwahashi Shinichi, a sister and brother-in-law who can find a way to get them to reach out is a hundred times better than a sister and brother-in-law who stand by and do nothing no matter whether he is good or bad.

Anyway, I came here, and after talking to my brother-in-law about finding a sponsor for the band tour, Iwahashi Shinichi turned his head away, and then mentioned to his sister that he wanted to invite two teammates to buy shares, and asked her to help recommend a lawyer.

Bringing two things at a time, Narita Hiroyuki listened to it and laughed first.

"Mr. Shenyi has a lot of tasks this time." He joked.

Yanqiao Shenyi replied jokingly: "Yes, so before I came, I was panicked."

Narita laughed at the way he responded.Chaozi was watching her husband and younger brother coming and going, and she actually admired her younger brother in her heart.

However, she readily agreed and asked Yanqiao Shinichi to go to the office afterward.

From the first time I found the firm, I asked her to draft the contract, and then Yanqiao Shinichi came to her more and more frequently. Every time I found her, there was a new trend. This kind of speed and energy to move forward, Zhao Zi thought. It feels a little weird.

Narita's generosity towards Shinichi's matter is probably because he felt his bursting momentum.

For Asako who regards "don't do unnecessary things" as her life credo, Shenichi like this now makes her feel that it is worthwhile to do something for him.

After finishing the two business matters, Yanqiao Shinichi's task tonight has been successfully completed, so he can feel at ease.Even so, the next topic still did not leave the entertainment world.

With the end of the first seven days of locusts, the streets of Tokyo have regained their vitality, and the backlog of programs on TV stations have also been released one after another, and TV series that have been postponed because of the national mourning have also begun to rebroadcast.

Tomorrow, the first episode of the Yuejiu drama "Fall in Love with Your Eyes", in which ZARD sings the theme song, will also air.

The TV industry is starting to wake up, and Hiroyuki Narita has been very busy recently.As a Dentsu MAN, he got together with his brother-in-law who also worked in the entertainment industry and was affected by the national mourning.

Chaozi doesn't talk much, and she's not interested in the entertainment world, so she's basically responsible for listening.

However, Narita Hiroyuki is quite outgoing and knows how to take care of the atmosphere, so he didn't neglect Chaozi.Yanqiao Shinichi, who has mastered the way of getting along with his sister and brother-in-law, can deal with the two of them with ease.

After getting along with this couple for a long time, Iwahashi Shinichi felt that the relationship between the two after they got married was actually quite good.

Although these two people choose each other as their marriage partner because of "suitability", it does not prevent them from managing and designing this marriage a little bit.

Or, it was precisely because they came together after choosing each other as their ideal marriage partner, Narita Hiroyuki and Asako, the relationship between these two people was unexpectedly stronger——

Many things are easy to accept as long as they are not associated with love.

Yanqiao Shenyi admired the boldness of his sister and brother-in-law, and the reason why he admired it was probably because he couldn't do it.

……

After [-]:[-], Yanqiao Shinichi bids farewell.

It was quite early when I came out of my sister and brother-in-law's house.Before leaving home, he called Nakamori Akina's apartment, but he didn't get through.

It is estimated that the work is not over yet.

Work in the entertainment industry has never had a fixed time, unlike office workers who clearly print their rest days on the calendar.Ordinary couples only need to say "Sunday" and they have a tacit understanding of what to do.

It's not like in the entertainment world, to fall in love, you must first master the skills of seeing every stitch.

Iwahashi Shinichi felt that the relationship between him and Akina Nakamori was not easy. They were busy in front of the stage, one and a half behind the scenes, and finally established a relationship, but it happened to be a national funeral. Up to now, even a serious date has been difficult. No.

After complimenting her on her thin waist that night, in the past few days, every time Iwahashi Shinichi thought of Nakamori Akina's laughing reaction after he said "the waist is really thin", he felt warm in his heart.

Nakamori Akina, who laughed heartily because of his feeling, was very lively.It was so vivid that as long as he remembered the situation at that time, Yanqiao Shinichi could feel the warmth coming from her and towards him.

This fresh heat moved Yanqiao Shenyi's heart, and his heart warmed up just thinking about it.As soon as it was hot, I thought of her again and wanted to see her.Since it's still early, I don't have any other plans... of course I'll call her.

It's a pity that I didn't get through.

Yanqiao Shenyi went home first, and after returning home, he called her again.

The call to Nakamori Akina was delayed, but there were two calls from work.It was almost 09:30, and he was about to fill up the bath water, when the pager rang again.

However, after calling back and connecting, a child's voice came from the other end of the phone, telling him: "This is a public phone."

child?
The voice was too realistic, and Iwahashi Shinichi reacted.

After reacting, I immediately guessed what was going on.He was not in a hurry to expose Taopu Star who was showing off his voice actor skills, and deliberately preached: "It's so late, it's dangerous for a child to be outside alone, go home quickly."

Finally, the other end of the phone couldn't bear it anymore, and Akina Nakamori's cheerful laughter came.

A meme that has been played once will be debunked immediately when played the second time.However, Akina Nakamori would do this, obviously not to hide it from him.

Having said that, her voice-changing ability is indeed very powerful, it would be a pity not to match it with a cartoon...

Yanqiao Shenyi thought to himself, and asked her: "Is it a real public phone this time?"

Nakamori Akina said "hmm", "It's true."

……

"it is true."

Akina Nakamori told Shinichi Iwahashi, "It's the public phone next to the recording studio." Tonight, she has been working in the recording studio.

Until now, the work has come to an end.

While she was on the phone, Big Ben went to the parking lot to drive, and the little assistant stood a little far away waiting for her.
