Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 630
"You asked me 'how'?" Mayumi Watanabe told him to laugh.

As soon as Yanqiao Shen said it out of his mouth, he couldn't help laughing, and said forcefully, "If you want to make a plan, you have to nod, of course I have to ask you."

Wanyumi Watanabe simply refused to answer, and asked instead: "So, what are your plans?"

"All in all, first prepare enough goods for 100 million singles." Yanqiao Shenyi was serious.

Watanabe Mayumi listened.

"Prepare a supply of 100 million copies, and send out a press release, saying that the shipment of this single has reached one million copies." Yanqiao Shinichi said.

Such a draft is to build momentum for oneself and to blow the public.

It is still necessary to grasp the psychology of the Japanese who like to follow suit.

It is a fact that DREAMS COME TRUE and the band's new single are now popular, and the meaning of the release is to deepen the impression of "popularity" in the hearts of the public again, so that people who were not interested in it before will start to be interested and incite Those who are still hesitating should also contribute one.

"If we can win three consecutive championships this week, the effect of the draft will be even better."

When Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned this, he added another sentence, "So, how effective the publicity strategy Manyumi-san prepared for the band this week is very important."

After winning the championship for two consecutive weeks, and in the third week of stalemate with popular idols, even if they lose to the male fighting group this week, it will not delay their release of the draft.But if he wins the male fighting group and knocks the popular idol to the ground, then the effect of this draft will definitely be doubled.

In other words, it is a necessary step to win the male fighting group this week.

"Um……"

Watanabe Wanyumi thought about it.Thinking of something, I grasped what he said just now, and suddenly asked again: "This is 'first', so is there a 'second'?"

Yanqiao Shen kept laughing, "It's really you."

Not only can he grasp the key points, but he also has a heart that will never give up until his ideas are exhausted.

When the unscrupulous boss Shinichi Iwahashi met the unscrupulous boss Wanyumi Watanabe...he went on to say, "Secondly."

Hearing "Secondly" in his accentuated tone, Mayumi Watanabe couldn't help laughing.

"The new album is about to be released, and the tour is about to start. Didn't we also include a voting ticket for the concert selection in the single?" Shinichi Iwahashi brought up the old story again.

"Start advertising this tour before the voting date closes."

It is not only necessary to advertise, but also to advertise so beautifully that people want to participate in it after seeing it.

When Yanqiao Shinichi said this, he paused, looked at Mayumi Watanabe with a serious expression, and said deliberately: "Then..."

"And 'then'?"

Watanabe Wanyumi really didn't expect this time.When I came back to my senses, I realized that he did it on purpose, and there was nothing I could do.

Yanqiao Shinichi didn't deliberately tease her, "Yes, yes."

He said, "Then, apart from the promise of "THE BEST TEN"'s three consecutive weekly crown celebration performances, I will not accept any more performances on music shows for the time being."

Music programs generally have to sing the whole song, and if you sing too much, the sales will disappear.

"Ok."

Watanabe Wanyumi agreed.In order to repay being teased by him just now, he deliberately asked again: "What's next?"

"Next..."

Unexpectedly, Yanqiao Shinichi really looked like he could go on.

Originally, she was waiting to laugh at him, but now, Mayumi Watanabe couldn't understand him, and she was waiting for him to talk.Seeing her reaction in his eyes, Yanqiao Shinichi said calmly: "Next, I want to invite Manyumi-san to prepare a good wine for celebration."

"..."

Wanyumi Watanabe, who was bullied again, was speechless.

If this continues, I don't know where the topic will go.Wanyumi Watanabe gave up trying to compete with him, "Understood. In short, in order to match your idea, I have to make arrangements first. In short, win this week."

……

It's not easy to sell a million copies of a single.

What is the concept of 100 million copies?

At this time, there are about 2000 million people in Japan.If the children are removed, and the old people are removed, there are only about 8000 to [-] million people who have the ability to buy records.

In the 70s and [-]s, when the record industry was booming, millions of singles were born every year.

After entering the 80s, due to the impact of a large number of music playing programs on TV, as well as the impact of the record rental market, and other reasons, the record market began to enter a downturn.

The year 1985 when Shinichi Iwahashi decided to enter the industry happened to be the first year when the record market shrank sharply.

His unlucky Taopusda girlfriend, whose peak period hit the downturn of the record market, sold more than 60 copies of his best-selling single. Opponents give pressure.

The annual singles chart has been suppressed for three years in a row. In the first year, it was understandable that they lost to the popular idol band THE CHECKERS. In the second year, THE CHECKERS withdrew, but a super powerful Akemi Ishii broke out halfway. A cover single overwhelmed the ground.

By the third year, she was Taopu Star among the idols, and there was no other strong one-shot house——

Then, he was thrown down and beaten up by Eiko Segawa, who was popular in the 70s and had been out for a long time.Not only that, but the single that won the annual crown was an old song that Eiko Segawa released the previous year. When it was released, it couldn't even sell [-] copies. It only became popular through radio demand.

Occasionally, I want to sigh for Nakamori Akina's luck.

Since last year, the record market has begun to show signs of recovery. The total sales volume of singers at the top of the list has also increased significantly. It is no longer just a pitiful 50 million copies as in previous years, but it has begun to reach the threshold of one million. spin around.

From this point of view, the record market has the soil for the birth of millions of singles.

Previously, the agency and the record company estimated that the final sales volume of the single "Eyes to me" was between 60 and 70 copies, but with the current sales momentum, the potential for this single to be tapped should be more than that number.

If there are 70 to [-] copies sold naturally, it is not a delusion to add a few more fires and hit the dragon gate of one million.

With a million goals, it seems far and difficult.

However, the momentum since the release of the single gave Iwahashi Shinichi the confidence to rush forward.

……

For DREAMS COME TRUE, in order to win the record for three consecutive weeks, they used temporary publicity methods that could be used.On Johnny's side, he also tried his best to win the championship for the male fighting group.

The single that just released in the first week is against the single that entered the third week after it was released, no matter how you look at it, the male fighting group has a better chance of winning... It should be so.

As a result, after the single was officially released, the male fighting group did not show enough energy.

With the help of their idol status and the topic of the band craze, the men's Douhu group had a brilliant debut, but at the same time they were born, the band that came out of the band Tianguo program began to emerge in the music world.

These bands, which need to win for five consecutive weeks before they have a chance to officially debut, have outstanding hard power, far from being comparable to idol bands like embroidered pillows.

In the hearts of the public, the form of a band is a symbol of strength.As for the performance-type band of Nan Dou Hu Group, people looked forward to it when they first appeared, but they also showed timidity when they debuted.While showing his own strength, there are constantly emerging real strength factions to set off, and they can only fall one by one.

This time, when it collided with DREAMS COME TRUE, many record stores even spontaneously played a "confrontation" drama for the sake of topicality, putting the singles of the two bands together.

When the manager told the members about this, Akiji Narita of the male fighting group blushed.

Immediately, he remembered what happened at the Red and White Song Festival last year.At that time, it was DREAMS COME TRUE who fought against the male fighting group.During the live performance, they were severely "lessoned" by DREAMS COME TRUE.

But at that time, in terms of sales, the male fighting group was still ahead.

Unexpectedly, in the new year, I will also meet DREAMS COME TRUE on the ranking list.Not only that, but they tried their best to fight against DREAMS COME TRUE which has already been in the third week.

The record store puts the singles of the two bands together, and if the customer comes in and listens to it...

No matter who wins or loses in the end, Narita Akiji thinks that the band's opponent this week is such a terrible band, and the pain of inferior skills revives in his heart.

To face DREAMS COME TRUE is to face the cruel reality that you have no talent, you can only rely on your appearance and the packaging of an office to be a band, and you are powerless to resist.

Because everything the band owns is given by the firm...

If you only regard idols or bands as a job, you may be able to avoid this kind of entanglement.However, the young men in the Nan Dou Hu Group formed a band in the first place because they were interested in the band.

On the one hand, there are members who are shy in the face of DREAMS OCME TRUE, and on the other hand, the manager is still encouraging the members, "Several, this week is very important, we must work hard, win the championship, and don't lose to Dolicom."

"We've worked hard."

Takahashi Kazuya of the male fighting team was also unconvinced and argued.

The agent was indifferent to his reaction, "But it's not enough. If you really work hard enough, then you don't have to try every means to promote it in order not to lose to Dolicom."

Takahashi was also choked, and became more and more annoyed, "It's Marisan..."

"Takahashi-kun!" Narita Shoji hurriedly stopped his manager when he saw the manager's cold face.

After being reminded, Takahashi Kazuya was still staring, with a look of trying to endure.A bunch of things he wanted to say in his heart made his expression stiff.

"It's because you didn't work hard enough."

The manager is a middle-aged man with thinning hair and always has a fat face. He ignored Kazuya Takahashi's anger, and said slowly: "Because you are not working hard enough, and you don't have the strength to match your fame, the office will reduce your resources."

Not long ago, Marie Kitagawa withdrew the show that was originally participated by members of the male fighting group, and replaced it with the new group "Heike Pai", which is preparing for its debut.

When they first debuted, the male fighting group had an astonishing momentum and enjoyed the best resources.However, with the subsequent exposure of the band's inferiority, the strength of the band has not improved much, and the potential that can be tapped can be seen at a glance. The firm has suspended its continued investment in the band.

It is understandable to suspend investment, but being cut resources to give newcomers caught the members by surprise.

Takahashi Kazuya, who has a strong personality, believes that the band was targeted by Kitagawa Marie.

Several members of the band have their own personalities, but they have personalities and ideas, but they don't have the ability to match. In addition, several members are not the kind of flattering people, so they have not been liked by Kitagawa Marie.

The person in charge of leading the Heike faction this time is Mary-san's daughter Keiko-san.

Takahashi also thinks that Marie Kitagawa is taking the opportunity to beat them, taking away the resources that should belong to the band to cultivate her daughter.

The Heike faction was the first group that Keiko Fujishima was really fully responsible for. After Masahiko Kondo's accident passed, Keiko Fujishima took over the brokerage affairs early.

In order to pave the way for her daughter to successfully become an heir in the future, Marie Kitagawa helped her both openly and secretly.

However, this kind of thing can be thought in the heart, and it must not be said.

At this time, one hand was placed on Kazuya Takahashi's back, and he pressed hard.It is Koyo Maeda, the leader of the band.He pressed Takahashi and lowered his head, and he also bent down, "Yes, I'm sorry."

"We will redouble our efforts."

Maeda Kouyo pressed Kazuya Takahashi hard.

Takahashi didn't feel ashamed at all for losing to DREAMS COME TRUE.Their talents and standards are inferior to them, and it is normal to lose.

From Takahashi Kazuya's point of view, it is a real shame to endure Mari Kitagawa's domineering, but still bow his head to her.

But how the goods are packaged and placed in the window is the operator's final say.

"I'm sorry." Takahashi was also discouraged.

The manager's expression relaxed a little, "Then please cheer up a few, and prepare for the next program recording."

……

The male fighting group made various efforts to stabilize sales, but on Thursday night, "THE BEST TEN" announced that DREAMS COME TRUE had won the second championship, and at the same time, they also celebrated the "three consecutive championships" that had been communicated in advance. The words are made public.

The audience who originally wanted to see DREAMS COME TRUE on the TV show began to work hard for the band to achieve three consecutive championships.

Those who buy records buy records, those who write postcards write postcards, and those who spontaneously recommend to relatives and friends.With a multi-pronged approach, all of a sudden, the sales of this single, which had been sold for the third week, became popular again in record stores.

Customers who entered the record store without knowing it, saw the single of the male fighting group that was put together with DREAMS COME TRUE, listened to it, and judged it.

Even the customers who came for the male fighting call group, some of them, after the audition, changed from buying one to buying two.

At the moment when the band boom is on the rise, the band must have strength, and this matter is recognized by the general public.

The more I believe in this point, when the super-strength band and the embroidered pillow band are put together, the latter not only cannot be the opponent of the former, but even advertises the former in an extremely subtle way.

By Sunday, this "battle" had a result in the minds of both sides.

Here at U-MIZ, the printing plate factory is running at full capacity, and the shipment volume has been supplemented by 100 million copies. The writers are asked to prepare a draft for the shipment of one million copies——prepared two copies, one of which wrote about the band triple crown.

After the official results come out, the sales volume will determine which version to release.
