Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 549
"Please don't pay attention to me."

Yanqiao Shinichi pulled out the chair and sat down, beckoning them to continue.

He didn't say polite words, and the people present were not polite to him, continuing the unfinished discussion in front of him.Iwahashi Shinichi took the sheet music put there, flipped through it and listened to their discussion.

The chief producer and the specifically responsible music producer have different scopes of work.Shinichi Iwahashi was in charge of the overall situation and was responsible for finalizing the new songs to be released at the song selection meeting before officially entering the recording studio.

After the song is finished, he will decide the final version among a bunch of arranged versions.

As for the specific production in the middle, although he is not a hands-off shopkeeper, he will confirm several times in the middle and put forward his own opinions, but the details are mainly left to the band members and the music producer in charge.

The current discussion meeting finalizes the details. Before he can play a role, he doesn’t need to pay too much attention to the content of the meeting. Afterwards, he can directly communicate with the music producer and listen to the key points.

The most important thing for him to come here this time is not to see the production progress of the band's new song, but for Sachiko Kamachi.

After seeing her performance during the trip to Osaka, Shinichi Iwahashi thought about how to adjust her performance style on stage.In the end, there was a national funeral, and after returning to Tokyo, various things were waiting, and now I have spare time to see her.

These days, the band has successively arranged performances at LIVEHOUSE in Tokyo, and there are also plans to hold free EVENTs and perform at universities, and there will be a round of intensive live performances.

Before the start of this round of performances, let's make it clear.

……

After so many performances, Sachiko Kamachi was still in a hurry when facing the audience.That being the case, we can't just consider whether the level of training is enough or not, but we have to face up to a fact:
This restraint and youthfulness that cannot be eliminated in the face of the audience is a part of Sachiko Kamachi's personality and a part of her stage style.

If this restraint must be eliminated, then it is very likely to go to another extreme.

Shinichi Iwahashi thought of the amateur band he saw in Osaka Castle Park that "turned himself into a comedian" in response to the ridicule of the audience, and felt that if he tried to eliminate his shortcomings, he would also eliminate his own characteristics.

That being the case, it's better to find a way to strengthen the shortcomings until it becomes a full feature-of course, you must not simply cancel the live performance just because you are facing the audience's immaturity and restraint.

Just confirm one thing from Kawachi Sachiko first: that is, she is not the same as Akamatsu Haruko who confronted the audience at the beginning.

During the ZARD performance, Akamatsu Haruko was always in charge of Kamaike Sachiko. She carried out what she learned from Iwahashi Shinichi, but she ignored it.

Unlike Haruko Akamatsu, who gained the courage to perform by confronting the audience, Sachiko Kamachi herself is always full of kindness to the audience.

Therefore, she would stick out her tongue at the audience because of the embarrassment of eating a screw, she would be happy to be affirmed by the audience, and she would go all out for the performance in front of her and to convey her feelings to the audience.

Having confirmed this in advance, Iwahashi Shinichi has a lot of confidence.

……

After the discussion meeting, ZARD's personal manager reported to Iwahashi Shinichi that the band will take promotional photos tomorrow morning, and he made a reservation to borrow tomorrow's clothes, ready to go first.

Singers in the rookie era usually wear their own personal clothes—such as Mei Hechan’s self-proclaimed “performance costumes” that Mei Hechan prepared for her debut, some of which she modified and sewed herself.

The slightly better clothes were borrowed by the company. During the entire promotional period of a record, if there were one or two sets of clothes that were actually bought by the company at the expense of the company, it was within the scope of good treatment.

If you want to buy a lot, you still have to wait until it becomes popular.

However, when the manager said this, Yanqiao Shinichi called him back, "Wait a minute."

As soon as he spoke, not only did the manager not move, but the band members also cast their gazes over.

"Adjust the itinerary temporarily."

Shinichi Yanqiao ordered, "Put down the recorder first, and then let the band go with you to borrow clothes."

The manager showed a puzzled expression at his words.

Iwahashi Shinichi explained, "Let the members choose what they like, if they really can't choose the right one..." He raised his hand and looked at the time, "It's still too late to go to the department store, so go buy it."

"Is this okay?" The agent didn't immediately follow suit.

He has been in the industry much longer than Shinichi Yanqiao, the former manager, and he is not a newcomer recruited from the outside, so he has his own ideas about bringing in newcomers.

For celebrities, when they are on stage, they must pay attention to expressiveness.Expressiveness is not only reflected in speech and performance, but also in clothing and makeup.

The costumers are handed over to the selection, and the makeup artists are handed over to take care of it, in order to find the style that suits the members, and to highlight this style and temperament, to prepare the clothes and to do the makeup.

If this task is given to the members, then there is a high probability that they will be on camera wearing rustic shirts.

Rusticism is not to be feared, and Meihejiang’s aesthetically bursting costumes have nothing to do with foreign style, but her strange aesthetics, which is often complained about, is part of her on stage.

Yanqiao Shenyi knows that she has a strange vision, but she still defends her right to choose her own costumes for the performance, just to preserve her unrestrained seeds—at least in the music world, no one can imitate her.

Brokers are most worried about "uncharacteristic".

If the members are allowed to come by themselves, what they get is a featureless rustic, and by then, the expressiveness they are pursuing will no longer exist.

"No problem." Iwahashi Shinichi said.

He looked around at the four members of the band, and then his gaze fell on Sachiko Kawachi.Came here to record today, she has almost no makeup on, but it would not be appropriate to describe her as "noodles in clear soup".

Looking at this face without makeup, he remembered for a moment that when Sachiko Kawachi was brought to him by Haruko Akamatsu for the first time, she had just finished shooting as a model, with heavy makeup on her face, looking at her in the street. Girls of this age dress no differently.

Puchi Xingzi is a beautiful woman with outstanding appearance. Her beauty is not as simple as a bowl of noodles in clear soup, but it is not suitable for heavy makeup.

Modeling work requires a strong expressiveness, but for Sachiko Kamachi, she obviously knows what she is suitable for.

No matter it's because she knows that she is suitable for light makeup, or because of her personality, but the makeup that she decides by herself is obviously more suitable for her.

And when he was looking at Sachiko Kawachi, Sachiko Kawachi was also looking at Shinichi Iwahashi.

She looked like a good student listening to the lecture, and listened carefully to his conversation with the manager.
