Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 626 626. The right way

After Fujimura Manami won the competition in the talent show held by NHK, NHK was the bridge to introduce BURNING and Sony Records.

Zhou Fang Yuxiong, a gangster in the industry, has a close relationship with the state-run TV station.

However, although Kosho Inomata, one of the judges at that time, accepted her as a foreign student, he didn't care much about her.

According to Kosho Inomata, Manami Fujimura, who was 24 years old when she won the show and has been active as a folk singer in Akita for many years, has already been finalized in all aspects, and there is no need to start from the basics.

And after the failure of her first debut with luxurious equipment but no splash, there are many voices that the firm and the company are not optimistic about her.

BURNING's manager is not only in charge of Manami Fujimura, but now that her career has stopped, the manager simply put her aside.On the contrary, Ikuta Katsura, the manager of the record company, supported her as always and worked hard for her.

On Saturday, after Sakai Masatoshi informed him of Iwahashi Shinichi's thoughts, Ikuta Katsura left a message for Fujimura Manami to tell her about it.

The next day, Manami Fujimura called him back.Ikuta Katsura told her that Iwahashi-san met her once when he went to meet Sakai Masatoshi, and wanted to invite her to participate in his project album.

I only met her once, so I put my mind on her.

Not only Ikuta Katsura was surprised by this incident, Fujimura Manami also felt strange after hearing it.

However, accidents are accidents, Manami Fujimura does not reject it.It was because she couldn't figure out what the young producer was going to do, and curiosity prevailed. When Masaru Ikuta said that she was going to meet Shinichi Iwahashi on Monday night, she asked Masaru Ikuta to tell her the content of the meeting after the meeting. .

Masaru Ikuta knew that she was a die-hard rock fan. When the band under Sony Records held a concert in Tokyo, she asked Masaru Ikuta to ask for a ticket for the relationship seat because she couldn't buy tickets.

She is informal, and if there is a shortcut to take, she will take it generously.Occasionally cunning but not philistine, almost innocent.

"Fujimura has a beautiful face and a sweet voice," Sakai Masatoshi and Iwahashi Shinichi said.

He asked Kami Iwata to come to see Shinichi Iwahashi together, with the intention of speaking freely.At this time, I did not hide anything, and talked about the direction of the new debut route prepared by the agency and the record company for Manami Fujimura from the most basic place.

"The content of enka, generally speaking, is 'sorrow', 'life', 'nostalgia', and 'festival'." Sakai Masatoshi briefly cited a few examples.

Obviously, women like Manami Fujimura are not suitable for singing about life insights and harvest festivals.

For enka singers, those singing festivals or traditional themes of hard work are destined to miss a woman with her temperament.Masatoshi Sakai knew it well, and he didn't even intend to let her try.

He opened up the words, "I want her to sing a song of complaint, but not the heaviness of living and dying together, but the lingering sorrow that is destined to fail to achieve a positive result."

Manami Fujimura gives people the impression that she is not like a virtuous wife who warms wine for her husband who returns from fishing and handles the housework inside and out, but rather like wearing a kimono, holding an oiled paper umbrella, and walking on the path with a silent man. A lover who has a bubbly love affair.

"what."

Iwahashi Shinichi's heart skipped a beat when he heard Sakai Masatoshi's words.

He took advantage of the situation and said, "Sakai-san said that Enka pays attention to returning sweetness from bitterness. Therefore, Enka singers have rich experience, which is actually a good thing for them to perform songs."

"That's right." Sakai Masatoshi nodded.

Iwahashi Shinichi went on to say, "I heard Sakai-san talk about Fujimura-san's life experience before. At that time, I was thinking about one thing, the mysterious magic beauty, in the singing world, I'm afraid I can't find a singer like this Come one."

At least based on his knowledge of the singing world, he did not expect such a number one person to exist. ——At least none of the enka singers who are currently active.

According to Sakai Masatoshi's set of "enka singers have rich life experience and better" as the production credo, Fuji Ayako's life experience that everyone would be stunned for a while after listening to it is really "rare".

"Hmm..." Sakai Masatoshi didn't answer.

Hearing the current Ikuta Katsuki from the side, his expression began to change slightly.

Manami Fujimura's ex-husband committed suicide for her, Ikuta Katsuki knew it all, the record company and the office both knew about it, but it was brought up bluntly by such an outsider, and it was still in his ears. feel offended.

Ikuta Katsuyuki believed that Fujimura Manami would definitely become popular, so he worked hard to get her on the right track, including meeting the young producer and hearing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

But personally, he has deep sympathy and a faint affection for this charming and innocent woman.

If Fujimura Manami was present, Iwahashi Shinichi would have some scruples, but now, he doesn't know and doesn't care about Ikuta Katsuki's thoughts, and speaks for himself.

"In Akita, Fujimura-san's hometown, her divorced ex-husband committed suicide for her, and when it fell on her head, it became a scandal that made her a monster in the eyes of others."

"However," he paused, and finally expressed his true thoughts, "A witch who makes men willing to die for her. This is also a personal style that only Fujimura-san possesses, and no one can replace it."

Sakai Masatoshi heard what he meant and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"It's so cruel."

Ikuta Katsuki listened, feeling absurd.I began to wonder in my heart, what is this young producer going to do?
Yanqiao Shenyi heard his protest and looked over.

This evening, Sakai Masatoshi spoke freely, but this manager had nothing to say, just listened from the sidelines, occasionally added a sentence or two, and hardly expressed his own opinions, leaving Iwahashi Shinichi with the impression that he didn't like chatting.

This "cruel" accusation was his first opinion tonight.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi continued, "Anyway, a man committed suicide for Fujimura-san. This is a fact."

"..." Ikuta Katsuki didn't answer.

"It's also because it's a fact, so as long as Fujimura-san is a little bit famous, the weekly magazine will never let go of this gossip." Yanqiao Shin said, "Not only that..."

They will also treat this incident as a novelty gossip to exaggerate.

Therefore, as long as Fujimura Manami wants to hang out in the entertainment industry, this matter cannot be hidden.

Not only that, but when Shinichi Iwahashi first heard Sakai Masatoshi talk about her, he believed that Manami Fujimura didn't care much about it.

In this era when a celebrity is a little bit famous, even his ugly kindergarten photos can be provided to the TV station by enthusiastic people. If Fujimura Manami is really the kind of woman who thinks this is shameful, she will not choose Tokyo, which is bigger. stage.

All of Shinichi Iwahashi's ideas are based on Sakai Masatoshi's plan for her route and his guess about Fujimura Manami's thoughts.

"Fujimura-san's office is BURNING." Ikuta Katsura heard the meaning of Iwahashi Shinichi's "concealment is useless", and the discomfort in his heart eased, and he explained: "Zhou Fang-san has a strong ability to control the media. BURNING will show up."

"I understand the power of BURNING." Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "But, can Wenchun shut up?"

Wenchun's power left Ikuta Katsuki speechless for a while.

"Therefore, there's no point in covering it up." Yanqiao Shinichi said, "However, I don't mean to publicize this matter. There is no reason why others should not mention it, so I should expose myself first."

"Now, let's talk about the project I want to make." He turned around, "Sakai-san wants Fujimura-san to sing a sad and lingering song. And my idea is, 'Fujimura-san is a mysterious and magical beauty' base on which to make songs.”

"Neither deliberately avoided her past, nor deliberately publicized her past, but opened up her past as a part of her person."

Let this magical beauty cooperate with that fragile handsome man Mori Yulanshi.Even if this cooperation is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it will not affect her re-debut, but let her take advantage of the trend to start her prepared debut.

For the famous singer, this project is an attempt to make a new appearance, and for her, it is to pave the way for her re-debut.

Not only for her, but also for BOLAN.

Let her, a mysterious and magical beauty, set off with the fragile and beautiful man Mori Yulanshi, which further shows the charm of BOLAN and enriches BOLAN's image.

If the cooperation between BOLAN and Fuji Ayako is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not only will it not affect her re-debut, but it will make a good start for her re-debut.And the same is true for BOLAN.

"That is to say, let Fujimura not shy away from her 'demonic' side in the song?" Sakai Masatoshi listened with gusto.

However, adding this side made the route she was going to take more three-dimensional.

"There are all kinds of women in Enka, and witches are not uncommon."

Yanqiao Shinichi said, "Greatly took a part of her life as the charm of enka's "sweetness and sweetness", and skillfully blended it into the song. In this way, even after she became popular, her past was discovered by the media. It will only be the last piece of the puzzle to complete her route."

If it is deliberately covered up, once it is dug out, the image will completely collapse.But from the very beginning, she used her true side to formulate her exit route, and that past was part of her route.

This is also a kind of "safety air cushion".

"It's really yours." Sakai Masatoshi muttered, picking up his glass.

Ikuta Katsura listened beside him, speechless the whole time.I don't know if I want to say that this Yanqiao-san is whimsical, or if I want to say something else about him...

However, at the beginning of the "cruel" accusation, Ikuta Katsura wanted to take it back.

……

Talking about things while drinking wine is not counted, at most it is an exchange of ideas. Whether or not to do this will be discussed with BURNING, Sony, and Manami Fujimura before making a final decision.

For this sake, Yanqiao Shinichi did everything he could, and could only wait for the final response.

Ikuta Katsura promised Fujimura Manami to convey the content of the conversation to her-in fact, it was necessary to convey the conversation around her throughout the whole process.

"...Anyway, that's what that Iwahashi-san planned." Ikuta Katsuki repeated Iwahashi Shinichi's words.

After hearing this, Manami Fujimura smiled, "You want me to sing with the band?" Looking at the preoccupied Ikuta Katsura, she asked, "What does Ikuta-san think?"

"That's what I wanted to ask." Ikuta Katsuki smiled bitterly, "What do you think?"

"Me?" Fujimura Manami was taken aback, as if she didn't understand what Ikuta Katsura meant.After a while, I slowly said: "I don't mind being known about the past. If I mind, I will live incognito."

"But making the past one's own characteristic is not the same thing as not concealing the past." For some reason, Ikuta Katsura hopes that she can show her embarrassment about the past than a girl who doesn't care about the past at all.

Fujimura Manami laughed.When she smiled, she looked even more charming.Ikuta Katsuki's eyes lingered on her face, but he didn't want to. What she said next was:

"Ikuta-san doesn't know me yet."

"Ah." Ikuta Katsuki seemed to be knocked on the head by something suddenly.

A little confused, a little hurt, and a little annoyed.

"Takahashi's life is Takahashi's." Fujimura Manami was calm.

Takahashi is her ex-husband's last name.She went on to say, "If I avoid the past, wouldn't it be the same as my life being swallowed up by him? If I hide because of Takahashi, then I will be buried with him."

It was because of her ex-husband's suicide that she wanted to live a beautiful life.The more people in the world think that men are curious about her death, the more frank she has to be.Manami Fujimura's mentality is a bit of a struggle.

However, after listening to Manami Fujimura's words, Masaru Ikuta felt chills in his heart.

She is more ruthless than expected...

"To be honest, I am also a little moved by Iwahashi-san's proposal." Putting aside his concerns about Manami Fujimura's thoughts, Ikuta Katsura re-examined Iwahashi Shinichi's words.

"According to what he said, it is a suitable path."

Ikuta Katsura said, as if he wanted to drive away the cold just now, half-jokingly said: "That Iwahashi-san seems to be very good at bringing back to life singers who don't sell well. If you really listen to him, maybe you will get in touch with that person With luck, it can also become popular."

"Really?" Manami Fujimura smiled, "Then I'll be looking forward to it."

Ikuta Katsuki hopes that Fujimura Manami can become popular.As a manager, he believes that Manami Fujimura has the potential to become popular, and hopes to make her famous with his hands.

"After that, I will leave it to Ikuta-san." Manami Fujimura said, "I will cooperate."

……

"You turned out to be a famous producer!"

Fuyumi Sakamoto looked at Shinichi Iwahashi who was sitting opposite him with an incredulous expression.

"So is Sakamoto-san, he is already an enka star that cannot be underestimated."

As soon as Shinichi Iwahashi spoke, Fuyumi Sakamoto couldn't help laughing, "Iwahashi-san and I, are you going to flatter each other like this?"

"It's not impossible." Yanqiao Shen was half joking and half serious.

The former little driver and the little girl carrying bags sat together again after a long time, smiling at each other.
