Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 581
Meihechan's lyrics are in place, and the stuck progress immediately moves forward rapidly.

Back from Atami, Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamura brother worked overtime to make the first version of the arrangement for the new song.

This song was described by Wanyumi Watanabe as "I want to go on a picnic after listening to it", but Miwa-chan really filled it into a pleasant spring picnic.

In the lyrics she wrote, the protagonist takes a camera and puts the cherry blossom tree, the rose garden, every scenery in the outing, and the friends who travel together, all of which are included in the photos.

The lyrics of the whole song are simple and lifelike, and what is sung is an ordinary outing.

But it is this kind of "living life", in the eyes of Iwahashi Shinichi, that can be called wonderful.

The melody of the whole song is light and smooth, fresh and natural.The simple and life-like lyrics faithfully describe an outing, matching the revitalized phrase "Look at this side and smile, don't be shy, Smile, Smile, Smile~".

A relaxed and comfortable outing to spend the holiday with friends is unfolding in front of you, and the picture is full of sense.

And best of all, this is an unassuming, lifestyle outing that anyone can do.

As long as you think about it, you can have an outing like the one in the song.Bring a camera and take photos of the scenery that can be seen everywhere in life, such as cherry blossom trees, rose gardens, and sand pits in the park, as well as friends traveling together.

This kind of freedom to do whatever you want is exactly in line with Quick Snap's concept of "shoot as you want".

If you want to go on an outing, let's go.When you want to take a photo, just raise the Quick Snap in your hand.

……

Shinichi Iwahashi got the first version of the arrangement, and before sending it to Fujifilm, he gave it to Mayumi Watanabe and Sony's producers for an audition.

Once the song passes the acceptance test, it will be released as the band's next single, and it will also be included in a subsequent new album.

After listening to the song, Mayumi Watanabe commented: "Yoshida-san is really talented."

"Really?" Yanqiao Shen was happy when he heard her say that.

"Speaking of which, it's thanks to your idea of ​​going on a picnic." He also admired Wanyumi Watanabe's "ordinary audience" vision.

Watanabe Wanyumi heard him mention this, and laughed at herself: "In the end, the person who didn't go on an outing was me, the one who wanted to go on an outing after listening to the song."

"Haha!" Yanqiao Shin laughed loudly, "So, it sounds so pitiful."

Mayumi Watanabe saw his smile, but didn't care, and continued: "In this song, the lyrics and the melody fit together just right. Moreover, Yoshida-san didn't use the word 'happy' or 'happy' throughout."

What she paid attention to made Iwahashi Shinichi feel ingenious.

"Indeed, after all, he is the one who wrote "So Happy! So Happy! I Love It!" He teased.

Wanyumi Watanabe smiled, knowing that he said that on purpose, "It's not because of that song that I pay attention to whether she uses such words."

"On the contrary," she said, "I feel very relaxed and happy when I listen to this song. After listening to it, when I think about it, there is not even a word 'happy' or 'happy'."

Yanqiao Shinichi understood what she wanted to say, "How should I put it, daily happiness does not require such effort."

When you like someone, your heart is high and you go forward bravely, so you shout "Happy! Happy! Like!".

And enjoying life, enjoying the scenery of nature, and spending outing time with friends are relaxing and natural.The joy of not emphasizing "happiness" is the charm of this song.

The life-like lyrics and brisk foreign-style melody, combined with Meihejiang's refreshing singing voice, the three are seamless.

"That's true."

Mayumi Watanabe nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "What's the name of the song?"

""Eyes to me"." Iwahashi Shinichi told her.

……

After getting through with both the office and the record company, Shinichi Iwahashi sent the song "Eyes to me" to Fujifilm.

Fujifilm has a director surnamed Saito, who likes the band's "So Happy!"so happy!Really like! "The song, this time, was able to enter the stage of discussing sponsorship cooperation. At first, it was also thanks to director Saito who said good things for the band.

Now, the cooperation is going on, the song is delivered, Director Saito is looking forward to it.

For Fujifilm, in fact, as long as the band can come up with a song that is "light and comfortable, with a foreign style" and used as an unobtrusive song for camera advertisements, this cooperation can proceed smoothly.

However, because he liked the band's songs, while speaking good words for them, this cooperation was facilitated. In addition to the official cooperation, director Saito also privately expected what kind of song the band would hand over in the end.

Although he had expectations for the band in his heart early in the morning, he received a song like "Eyes to me" that could be said to be tailor-made and had impeccable lyrics and music. Director Saito still felt deeply for the band's talent.

On the premise of already expecting them, you can still be surprised by them.

While being pleasantly surprised by the new song of DREAMS COME TRUE, Director Saito had another thought in his heart.

He was the one who recommended the band to make the commercial song. The band was able to hand over such a song that the people in charge were full of praise. As the recommender, he was also happy and felt proud.

Although the production of the commercial has not yet started, this commercial song received in advance has already been confirmed to be the commercial song for the new season of Quick Snap.

In this way, the follow-up tour sponsorship has become a matter of course.

For a band that can write songs of this level one after another, it is definitely worth sponsoring them.

……

At Fujifilm, discuss with the agency about various matters related to the sponsorship of the tour.

Talking about tour sponsorship, these things have nothing to do with Iwahashi Shinichi.Watanabe Wanyumi came forward, and the manager of her firm was responsible for accompanying her to drink flower wine to connect with each other.

However, in addition to work entertainment, Iwahashi Shinichi thanked him and played an extra role. He invited the representative of Fujifilm and his brother-in-law Hiroyuki Narita to have dinner together, and also called the manager of the record company to accompany him.

The commercial song handed over by the band was well received. Not only director Saito felt that his face was honored, but also the representative who had been in contact with Shinichi Iwahashi, and his brother-in-law Narita Hiroyuki who was the recommender, also felt that this cooperation happy.

All happy things, after the end, the three parties feel happy, the food is comfortable, and the wine is also happy.

After the wine was refilled, the four of them moved to the next store.

The representative of Fujifilm obviously talked more after drinking, "The new song sent by the band, the lyrics can be used as the script of the advertisement."

"is it?"

The person who asked the question was Hiroyuki Narita, who hadn't heard the song - it was out of his scope.

"That's right, the picture is full of sense." The representative of Fujifilm said firmly.

Shinichi Iwahashi casually recounted a passage of lyrics to his brother-in-law, and Hiroyuki Narita smiled, "Isn't this just a spring outing?"

"When the ad was broadcast, it happened to be the graduation season. The graduation trip is also considered a spring outing."

The representative of Fujifilm laughed, "Isn't the song repeating 'look at this side and smile, don't be shy, Smile, Smile, Smile~'? So, the company wants to make this part the core of the advertisement."

"Then we need to find a commercial protagonist who has a good smile." Yanqiao Shinichi answered casually.

The representative of Fujifilm rushed to the conversation, and asked casually: "Has Mr. Yanqiao thought of any suitable candidates?"

Miwa-chan with a carefree smile and Yukiko Okada with an innocent and cheerful smile.

...and Nakamori Akina who looks so pretty when she smiles.

These three people came to Yanqiao Shenyi's mind, but it's a pity that no one is possible.One is not the kind of beauty favored by advertisers, and the other has retired for two years and has nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

The last one, if she was about the same in the first few years of her debut, it would not be a good fit to shoot commercials for disposable cameras now.Besides, a Taopu star, if Fujifilm is interested, it has already gone to negotiate.

After a little consideration, Shinichi Iwahashi said personally, "It feels good to have Momoko Kikuchi as the shooter."

"Kikuchi Momo?"

The representative of Fujifilm, brother-in-law Narita Hiroyuki, was a little surprised.

Yanqiao Shinichi explained slowly, "I just thought that the melody of the commercial song was fresh, the lyrics were more routine, and the disposable camera was not that expensive thing, but a very civilian thing. Even if you shoot commercials, you must It's lifelike."

A 2000 yuan one-off camera that can only be recycled when it is used up cannot be used to make a blockbuster commercial.

Shinichi Iwahashi said, "Since Kikuchi-san's debut, she has been the girl next door, a popular but approachable female student in school, isn't that what she looks like?"...Although she recently played a frivolous girl in order to transform.

"The most important thing is that her image has been very good since her debut, and even girls don't hate her."

The pure girl next door, this setting is completely natural for Kikuchi Momoko, without any sense of pretense.Because of the high degree of favorability, even the group LA·MU—failed badly, which had no effect on her personal popularity.

Her fans can even automatically distinguish her from the band. On the one hand, they don't buy the band's account;

Although the popularity has declined and the albums have begun to sell, but the favorability and popularity are still there, which is the so-called popularity of passers-by.

Well-known, highly favored, and with a suitable image, isn't this a good choice for advertising?Moreover, because her popularity has declined, and she is eagerly looking for a transformation, she was asked to shoot commercials, and the money spent was still small.

"Considering these, Kikuchi-san would be a good fit."

"Hmm." The representative of Fujifilm was listening and joking, but Shinichi Iwahashi said clearly and logically, but he gradually became a little more serious.

……

Continuing to the third booth, Iwahashi Shinichi asked the representative of Fujifilm to lend a darkroom, and then help introduce a photographer to teach him how to develop photos.

This is a matter of little effort, and the representative of Fujifilm agreed without hesitation, and then asked, "Is Yanqiao-kun still interested in how to develop photos?"

Yanqiao Shinyi smiled and rounded up the topic.

Those photos of Akina Nakamori were handed over to others for development, so I don’t feel at ease after all.Even if the relationship between two people really wants to be known to the world, it can't be done in this way, it's too embarrassing.

Do it yourself to have enough food and clothing, and it is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. The ancestors have a basket of such truths.

I don't know how many photos I want to take of her in the future, so I might as well learn a craft while I'm working with Fujifilm and the relationship is getting hotter.

Skills do not overwhelm.

……

After finishing the stall, send the representative of Fujifilm to the car first.

At this point, it is not easy to take a taxi.During the bubble era, people in Tokyo had a rich nightlife, driving up taxi prices crazily, and the start-up fee was [-] yen during popular hours.

Taxi drivers choose passengers, either cute and beautiful girls are preferred, or those who can make them earn more.These people who drink flower wine with Yanqiao Shinichi all day long, cute, beautiful, girls, none of them are related.

That being the case, the driver can only earn more.

The manager of the record company that Shinichi Iwahashi called played a role at such times.In charge of stopping the car for the representative of Fujifilm.

Handing over the half-drunk Fujifilm representative to him, Shinichi Iwahashi and Hiroyuki Narita went with him.

The representative of Fuji Film was sent to the taxi ticket of the record company, and Shinichi Iwahashi was in charge of the reception. This is the rule.

However, when there were only the two of them left and they hailed a taxi, they exchanged it for a taxi ticket from Dentsu.For a Dentsu MAN of Hiroyuki Narita's level, it is said that the annual taxi expenses are in the millions of yen.

Yanqiao Shinichi was curious about whether it was true or not, but it was not convenient for him to ask his brother-in-law such a question.

He was thinking wildly there, and after getting into the car, Narita Hiroyuki asked him first, "Does Shinichi-kun know Kikuchi-san?"

"I don't know." Yan Qiao shook his head.

Hiroyuki Narita let out a "hey", "Then it's her fan, right?"

"No." Shinichi Yanqiao heard it right away, and explained to his brother-in-law: "Before, Kikuchi-san helped promote ZARD on the radio."

This time it happened to be a small talk, and he felt that Kikuchi Momoko's image was suitable, so he mentioned it by the way.

If it works, it will be her reciprocation for promoting ZARD.It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out, no one knows anyone anyway.

"I see."

Narita Hiroyuki nodded, and said, "Just now you recommended her to be a commercial so seriously, I thought she was your friend or your idol." He smiled and asked casually, "Do you want me to do it too?" Help me recommend her?"

"It's fine up to this level." Yanqiao Shinichi politely declined, "It's too much."

"That's true." Narita Hiroyuki nodded, making fun of him, "If you overdo it, your motives will become suspicious."

Iwahashi Shinichi could only laugh.

It's strange if you can't hear what this brother-in-law means.

……

On such an evening, Yukiko Okada made an appointment with Akina Nakamori to meet in the cafe they frequented since their idol days.

After Atami's outing, when talking on the phone with Nakamori Akina, she really talked about the outing.On the phone, Okada Yukiko told Nakamori Akina that she sent the photos taken in Atami to be developed.

"Would you like to take a look at Akina-san? The early cherry blossoms in Atami bloomed beautifully this year. I also took pictures of the rose garden and the plum blossoms in Atami." On the phone, Okada Yukiko talked about her enthusiasm this time with great interest. Sea outing.

Akina Nakamori replied "I want to see it".

So, the two agreed that the next time they came out to drink tea together, Okada Yukiko would also bring the photos taken in Atami.
