Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 560
Watanabe Mayumi was not so naive as to be unable to distinguish polite words from the truth.

However, she will not assert in her heart that she will not have any contact with the combustion department in the future.In the plastics industry, there are no eternal enemies.

Even so, she knew better in her heart that if there was a day when she really had to deal with Zhou Fangyuxiong... There is never a free lunch in the world, but Zhou Fangyuxiong's lunch must be expensive.

However, there must be a corresponding price to be paid for asking for help. This is the truth that Watanabe Wanyumi understood when she was young.

When it comes time to deal with each other, she will also weigh the pros and cons.

It is not terrible to have to pay a price to get something, but the terrible thing is that no matter what you do, it will not help.

Osato Yokichi thought through the inside story, understood how bad the previous situation was, and knew how important Iwahashi Shinichi's role was in this, so he praised Iwahashi Shinichi to Watanabe Wanyumi.

The business of the industry is to see the tricks and break the tricks.

But what Yanqiao Shenyi dismantled was the trick of people like Zhou Fang Yuxiong.

Watanabe Wanyumi accepts Osato Yokichi's praise for Iwahashi Shinichi here, and on the other side, protects him as promised to Iwahashi Shinichi.

After reconciling with Zhou Fang Yuxiong, the matter came to an end.Watanabe Wanyumi put this confrontation aside, unknown friends or enemies, as long as it hasn't happened yet, put it aside first, the important thing is the present.

This time I came to visit Osato Yangji because of the movie "Kitchen" produced by her office.

Needless to say, the heroine must be Izumi Inamura.During the previous trip to Osaka, Ishihara of the Cosmos Troupe helped make peace, and Manyumi Watanabe sent the script to Fumio Umezawa's theater troupe.

This role can be said to be the core character, the most important.

It wasn't until Umezawa Fumio nodded in agreement that Watanabe Wanyumi breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the leading actor, Yuichi, it wasn't that difficult to choose. Wanyumi Watanabe's office organized a small audition meeting. Yokichi Osato of AMUSE knew about it and sent the newcomers from his company to interview.

In the end, the chosen male lead is the newcomer under AMUSE.

His name is Fukuyama Masaharu.

Wanyumi Watanabe chatted with Yokichi Osato to pass the time about DREAMS COME TRUE. After a while, the manager brought a young man over.

The young man was tall, with well-proportioned bones, standing behind the manager of a medium build, making him stand taller.

"President, Watanabe-san."

The manager greeted the two people who had a good chat, "Mr. Fukuyama is here."

AMUSE held an actor selection meeting for ordinary people last year, and Fukuyama Masaharu made his debut from this selection meeting.He was not yet twenty years old, he was born in the countryside of Nagasaki, and he worked as an office worker for a few months after graduating from high school.

Masaharu Fukuyama has only been in the industry for a few months, and his only experience as an actor so far is participating in the movie "Only 5g" starring Yasuko Tomita, a senior from the same firm, in which he played a little hooligan.

After being introduced by the manager, Fukuyama Masaharu bowed to his own president and the president who met for the first time.

It was not Manyumi Watanabe who finalized Masaharu Fukuyama to play the leading role, but director Jun Ichikawa.

Originally Wanyumi Watanabe meant that Izumi Inamura was an inexperienced rookie. When it came to choosing the leading actor, she thought of using someone with some experience in acting so that it would be convenient to bring Izumi Inamura into the play.

However, Jun Ichikawa held the opposite opinion, preferring inexperienced rookie actors.

In the novel "Kitchen", the male and female protagonists are the kind who pay attention to their own hearts, but don't care about the outside world. They seem to be close, but they are hard to get close to. Such words are useless.

In Watanabe Wanyumi's words, he is a young man with a little "unreliable" temperament.

The closest thing to being unreliable is an erratic atmosphere.

Since Inamura Izumi has no acting experience, Ichikawa thought that instead of using an actor with solid acting skills to bring her into the play, it is better to use the somewhat unreliable youthfulness that comes with new actors and choose a newcomer who is similar to Inamura Izumi. .

Wanyumi Watanabe didn't understand movies, but she wasn't the kind of boss who would dictate what she didn't understand. Jun Ichikawa suggested this, and Shunji Iwai, his partner, also agreed. In that case, I listened to their opinions.

In the end, it was this Fukuyama Masaharu who had only one film acting experience.

After greeting Masaharu Fukuyama, he straightened up.

Mayumi Watanabe sized him up a little more.This young man who was caught by Jun Ichikawa after the audition had a handsome face, but it was not amazing at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more interesting the face is.

Fukuyama Masaharu just came to Tokyo from the countryside of Nagasaki not long ago. On the stage of self-expression in Tokyo, people who just came to Beijing are like new actors who have just stepped on the stage, and from time to time they show a little youthfulness similar to new actors who have just debuted on the stage. sense.

However, even though he looked young, he did not show any timidity.

Looking at him carefully, Wanyumi Watanabe, although she doesn't understand movies, can understand why Ichikawa would definitely catch him at first glance.

Masaharu Fukuyama was called here just to say hello to Mayumi Watanabe.After saying hello and completing the task, he stood by and waited.

While waiting, he looked curiously at the young female president who was chatting with President Dali.

It has only been a few months since I entered the industry, and I have just figured out the situation of my own firm. Masaharu Fukuyama knows very little about the entertainment industry. The impression of something is still vague.

Not sure, he turned his gaze away again, and waited for Yokichi Osato and Mayumi Watanabe to finish speaking. After telling the manager that he could leave, he bowed again and followed the manager out of the office.

"Anyway, please Fukuyama-kun for now."

After Fukuyama Masaharu went out with his agent, Osato Yokichi said to Watanabe Wanyumi again.

Watanabe Mayumi said politely, and casually mentioned: "However, this Fukuyama-kun does have the face of an actor."

"Oh?"

Watanabe Wanyumi explained, "It's very attractive, and the overall temperament is also good."

"That's true." Osato Yokichi said with a smile, "I thought so when I got Fukuyama-kun's selection materials. So, I immediately decided to sign him."

As he said that, he brought it up again as an interesting fact, "However, Fukuyama-kun's registration form was filled in a muddle. He seemed to have the idea of ​​casting randomly, and he didn't have a strong desire to become an actor at first."

"According to him," Osato Yoshiyuki said, the more he found it interesting, "the reason why he wants to be an actor is because he can show off."

Wanyumi Watanabe laughed when she heard that, "Is that so?"

"Probably half of it is true, and the other side is a joke. Fukuyama-kun looks cool, so cute and joking." Yokichi Osato told Wanyumi Watanabe, "This Fukuyama-kun resigned and came to Tokyo to become a musician. .”

"Musician?" Wanyumi Watanabe was a little interested.

"Fukuyama-kun joined a band when he was in Nagasaki, and he got a job after graduating from high school. However, because he still wanted to do music-related things, he resigned and came to Tokyo."

"In the end, I made my debut as an actor."

"That's right." Yokichi Osato nodded, "It's not easy for a male solo. Although Fukuyama-kun can write songs by himself, his level is still lacking, and his style is not as popular as it is now. It's not easy to stand out."

As he said that, he changed the subject, half jokingly, and mentioned, "Yanqiao-kun hasn't produced a male solo yet, right? I would like to hear how he sees the market for solo singers."

Wanyumi Watanabe smiled, "I also kind of want to hear it."

Although Shinichi Iwahashi was not present, he was very present from the beginning to the end.

However, the topic did not continue and turned to other things in the industry.

Since Wanyumi Watanabe became independent, the relationship with AMUSE has been quite good, and the two sides are also willing to exchange information that they can say.

A new topic has opened up.

Osato Yokichi was busy with business, and Watanabe Wanyumi was not much behind, so she didn't continue talking for too long, and after a while, she got up and said goodbye.

In the afternoon, Wanyumi Watanabe made an appointment to visit the producer Fujimoto of TV Asahi.In order to discuss the prank show proposed by Shinichi Iwahashi.

The two of them have reached a consensus in advance about the big-budget production, and they will try to do one or two special programs on the TV station first. Now, she is going to negotiate with the TV station with this goal in mind.

The album of DREAMS COME TRUE is very popular, and the sales are also considerable.

An album costs 20 yen. So far, the combined sales of "LOVE GOES ON" have exceeded [-] copies, with sales of nearly [-] million yen.

And this number is still increasing. With this popularity and sales momentum, in this era of long-selling, it is by no means a fantasy to see this album on the charts all year round. The final sales volume can be at least 50 copies, and even more so. High is not a dream either.

With the sales of 50 copies, the firm took various commissions. It can be said that they made a lot of money by relying on DREAMS COME TRUE.

Whether it is investing in the movie "Kitchen" or making a new trick show, it all depends on this cash cow.

In addition, there are various royalties from dominating the radio on-demand list and being popular in karaoke on-demand.

U-MIZ's rake is not exaggerated, and it is quite moderate in the industry. Therefore, when Mayumi Watanabe made a lot of money with the ability to absorb money from DREAMS COME TRUE, the three members of the band also made a lot of money this time.

Miwa-chan, who writes all the lyrics and more than half of the music in this album, still earns the most in the team. Shinichi Iwahashi, who doesn't participate in the creation, gets about the same money as Brother Nakamura by virtue of his status as a producer.

However, as a producer, Shinichi Iwahashi, except for the part he gets as a member and arranger, most of it is allocated directly from the sales, so it won't be because he works for less money I took a lot and had a conflict with Brother Nakamura.

While "LOVE GOES ON" was selling well, Shinichi Iwahashi, who always told Wanyumi Watanabe that he couldn't save money, temporarily became a little richer——

Before he managed to spend the royalties again.

……

Watanabe Manyumi advocated "outside" and contacted TV Asahi, and Iwahashi Shinichi advocated "inside" to make the script of this program.

A few days ago, Yanqiao Shenyi told Akimoto Yasushi about the prank show. The fat young man didn't reply at that time, but he didn't delay too long. Within three days, he contacted Yanqiao Shenyi and asked him to go drink.

Yasushi Akimoto, the leader of Roppongi, did not change his lifestyle because of being trapped by Asako Takai. He was still the same as before, starting at [-] o'clock in the evening, constantly changing shops and drinking until the early morning.

As soon as Yanqiao Shen asked for help, he naturally didn't drink less alcohol, and followed the fat young man to change four stores one after another.Changed from "Ami Sauce" to "Yaiyi Sauce", full of wine and food, the fat young man finally let go and agreed to be the ally.

That's what happened to the people in black in the entertainment world, how many shows and collaborations were decided while drinking.

When Yasushi Akimoto entered the field, Shinichi Iwahashi also relaxed a lot.

Although he was in charge of writing the plan, he had never learned how to write a script after all, and he knew almost nothing about related things.Although he has read a lot of scripts, it is absolutely impossible for him to do it.

It's like saying that Mihe-chan's talent has only one foot, and someone needs help to make her invisible talent tangible in order for her to run. The tricky show that Yanqiao Shinichi is going to produce has only "one foot" only foot".

It wasn't until a professional script writer like Yasushi Akimoto came in that he was able to "run".

It was also because of the confirmation of Akimoto Yasushi's appearance that Watanabe Wanyumi started to contact TV Asahi.

Now that the band Heaven has already been released, the new program should not be delayed, the sooner it can be picked up, the better.She first took the plan to negotiate with TV Asahi, and Shinichi Iwahashi worked out the script with the fat young man as soon as possible.

……

It's not a rest day, there are not many people in the screening hall of the evening show, and the audience's seats are scattered in the huge screening hall.

Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori were sitting in this row, and they were the only two nearby. When the movie started, the lights dimmed, and no one watching the movie would have guessed that there was a Taopu star in the same screening hall as them.

Falling in love with a Tao Pustar, the process is actually no different from other ordinary couples, you want to watch movies together, you want to play together in amusement park projects, you want to go to delicious restaurants together...

However, because the other party is a Taopu star who will cause commotion in public, all "together" things have to be concealed.

After the two of them had spoken, the way they got along didn't change much.

The most common way of dating is still to meet the wealthy residential area on the street after work at night. Occasionally, Shinichi Iwahashi works overtime at the production company, and Akina Nakamori will go to his office with a bit of an office romance mentality.

Tonight, the two agreed to go to the movies together.

The movie started, the lights dimmed, Nakamori Akina didn't watch the big screen, but leaned over to Iwahashi Shinichi, looked at his face, sat upright with a smile on his face, and focused on the movie in front of him.

Yanqiao Shenyi couldn't guess what his Taopusida girlfriend was thinking just now, so he followed her example and turned his face towards her.

In the end, he was gently pushed by Akina Nakamori, so he had no choice but to turn his attention to the big screen.
