Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 667
At noon the next day, Kikuchi Momoko and Iwasaki Kayomi met again in their aunt's restaurant.

There are still almost five months until the contract expires at the end of September.Five months is not short, but when it comes to the termination of the contract and independence, it seems a bit urgent.

Kikuchi Momoko has been slow to express her opinion, and Iwasaki Kayunmi has no idea.If you can't get this crucial card, it will be difficult to start a new firm from scratch and want to get ahead in the industry.

Kikuchi Momoko has been slow to make a statement and is unwilling to renew her contract with the current firm. This vacillating attitude makes Iwasaki Kayomi feel a sense of threat. I am afraid that when she persuades, Kikuchi Momoko has actually secretly negotiated with other affairs. contacted.

But for Kikuchi Momoko, she is disappointed with the current firm's career plan for her, but if the contract is terminated, it will take more than courage to start a new struggle with Iwasaki Kayunmi.

Those who are anxious have reasons for being anxious, and those who hesitate also have reasons for hesitating.

"I'm in the preliminary work of preparing the office. Having said that, starting from scratch, I have come into contact with all kinds of things that I hadn't been exposed to before, and there are many interesting things..."

Iwasaki Kayunmi stopped at the right time, stopped persuading, and turned around, "Do you want to hear it? Peach Jam."

"I want to hear it." Kikuchi Momoko also cooperated.

After lunch, Iwasaki Kayomi left first. Kikuchi Momoko had work in the afternoon, so she borrowed the phone number from the restaurant and called her agent, asking him to come here to pick her up later.

The contract has not been decided yet, and at this juncture, contacting forces other than the firm seems somewhat sensitive.With the development of society today, although the industry will no longer be like in the early years, once the artist terminates the contract, they will send out a jacuzzi to deliver a disfigured sword, but if the contract termination is not pleasant, the old office will always send some messy drafts. of.

The artist and the firm have to cooperate with each other tacitly. Because of this, the firm also holds many unknown secrets of the artist.

Although Kikuchi Momoko and her current office have gradually lost their working understanding, the relationship remains good.Even though she hasn't decided whether to go or stay, the firm has only routinely reduced her work.

But even so, if you want to terminate the contract peacefully, at least you can't put the fact that you are in contact with people from other forces on the table that will be known by the current firm.

This is a tacit etiquette between firms and artists.

Because of this, Iwasaki Kayunmi's persuasion will be carried out quietly, and Kikuchi Momoko will not let the firm know.

……

The representative of Fujifilm saw the excitement and introduced Momoko Kikuchi to Shinichi Iwahashi.

Previously, one of the two helped to publicize with little effort, and the other reciprocated the recommendation, which was somewhat related, but that was the first time they met in Yokohama.

Not long after we met, Kikuchi Momoko called Iwahashi Shinichi to ask for concert tickets, which seems somewhat presumptuous in retrospect.

However, even though he hesitated before making the call, Kikuchi Momoko finally made the call.

After staying in the industry for so long, she couldn't get tickets the week the show started. It was impossible for her not to know such common sense.Knowing that she wanted to fight without hesitation, Kikuchi Momoko wasn't just because she was a fan of ZARD.

Moreover, to be honest, if people in the industry want tickets for related parties, if they are not familiar with it, they will probably contact the staff of the other company through their own company, and they will not even let the singer who is asking for tickets know.

Kikuchi Momoko would find out the business card she got from Iwahashi Shinichi that day in Yokohama and call him directly, whether she had other thoughts in her heart.

……

In the afternoon, when her manager came to pick up Kikuchi Momoko, she brought her the reception tickets sent to the office and the band's new album.In addition to the album, there is also a thank you card included, as well as autographs from all the band members.

Looking at the handwriting of the signature, the content of the card was written by the lead singer Pu Chi-sang.

Before, after calling Shinichi Iwahashi and hearing him talk about the release of the band's new album, Kikuchi Momoko didn't go to buy the record by herself, but waited to listen to it after receiving the album and tickets.

She opened the album and took out the national tour with the theme of the new album that came with it.From north to south, I almost have to go to larger cities. Looking at the names of the venues, they are basically venues with about a thousand people.

"That ZARD lead singer Sang seems to be working as a model." The manager chatted with Kikuchi Momoko.

Kikuchi Momoko is flipping through the album's lyric book, and there are photos of the band on the inside page.She looked at the crisply dressed, long-armed and long-legged Sachiko Puchi in the photo, and she had a good impression of her crisp and neat demeanor.Hearing the manager's words, he subconsciously said "Huh?"

The manager mistakenly thought that Kikuchi Momoko's reaction was surprise, and said with a smile, "You also find it interesting to hear it, right? The lead singer of a rock band went to shoot a fashion magazine for women in their twenties, and was interviewed by the magazine."

It sounds a bit bluffing to shoot the female lead singer of a fashion magazine with great fanfare.However, Kikuchi Momoko stared at the face of Kamachi Sachiko on the inside page of the album, and subtly felt that the effect of Kamachi Sachiko's fashion magazines would be good.

Was it that Yanqiao-san who asked her to participate in a fashion magazine shoot?I don't know why, but Momoko Kikuchi felt that it was Shinichi Iwahashi's idea of ​​anything that didn't make sense.

In other words, when I heard ZARD's song for the first time and admired the vision of the lead singer Shinichi Iwahashi, Kikuchi Momoko planted a thought in her heart, "That Iwahashi-san can see deeper and farther something" seed.

"The lead singer of the band is going to be a model. In comparison, your idol who is going to be the lead singer of the band is nothing." The manager didn't care what Kikuchi Momoko was thinking or what he was thinking, so he just joked with her casually.

Kikuchi Momoko never complained about her failed transformation, nor did she deliberately avoid talking about it, but it was not something that would make her feel "good memories" when she thought about it.

Kikuchi Momoko didn't know how to react when her agent compared her going to form a band with Kamachi Sachiko being a fashion magazine model.

But I always feel that it is not a joke that can be laughed off after hearing it.

However, what the agent said was not false.The tide of idols is declining, and the market cannot accommodate so many idols. On the contrary, the bands are huge, and the little idols who have not improved, the old idols who have not improved, either give up singing to become actors, or form a band, or go to transform and talk comedian.

This scene of going their separate ways feels a bit like an idol's twilight.

Kikuchi Momoko didn't answer the phone anymore, and the manager also kept his mouth shut.There was a moment of silence in the car.Kikuchi Momoko flipped through the lyrics book of the album while letting go of her thoughts.

I haven't listened to the song yet, so I read the lyrics first.After reading the lyrics, she put the inner page back into the album, picked up the thank you card that came with it just now, and wanted to put it in the box together.

After receiving such a thank you card, Kikuchi Momoko felt the tenderness and caring of the person who sent the album.

……

"Never go to that kind of place, Moji-chan!"

In the evening, the three friends got together to drink, and Huang Tang drank a few cups, Shen Gu said.

It has been a few days since Nagato Taiyuki derogated Daikoku Maki that day, but when Kamiya mentioned it again, the degree of brooding was still no less than when he just came out of the building where BEING was located.

Seeing his righteous indignation, Daihei Moji found it a little funny at the beginning, and gradually became bored.

He was the one who tried to persuade her to meet Nagato Taiyuki back then, and now he is the one who tried to persuade her never to consider becoming a Harmony member.

But Kamiya's feelings are really complicated. This kind of brooding is not only about complaining for Dahei Moji, but also a kind of resentment that he has been humiliated.Not only is Nagato Taiyuki the kind of person who pretends to be good and bad, but even Yoshiko--

"It's because of your presumptuous assertion that Moji-chan was ridiculed so much." Liangzi, who already knew the ins and outs of the matter, said mercilessly to Shengu.

Yoshiko was also upset that Kamiya went to see Nagato Taiyuki with Daikoku Moki without telling her.Kamiya boasted too much, Ryoko always thought that what he said was bragging, but this time he really brought Daikoku Moki to the president of the production company.This slightly damaged Ryoko's self-esteem.

But this time the opportunity to introduce Daikoku and Nagato Daiyuki to meet, ended with Daikoku being ridiculed and derogatory. While Ryoko was aggrieved for Daikoku, she was a little subtle, "I know that Kamiya is unreliable !", the feeling of being able to restore self-esteem.

In order to restore self-esteem, he must resolutely support Dai Kuromoji and crusade against Kamiya who is arbitrarily assertive.But doing so would add fuel to the fire for Kamiya, making him hate Nagato Taiko even more.

It's all the fault of that self-righteous Ojisan!Moji-chan must never have anything to do with that kind of person!

Although Kamiya and Ryoko have different ideas, they are unified on this point.The reason for this is probably because hating Taiyuki Nagato together is the best solution for these two people to have a step down and get back together.

People's hearts are complicated, and this sentence is suitable no matter when and where it is used.

The two friends were indignant about what happened to her, but Daihei Moji felt angry and unreasonable at the time, and when he thought of the harsh and merciless evaluation later, he didn't have such a strong unpleasant feeling.

Of course, it certainly doesn't feel good either.

Ordinarily, with her pride, being so belittled and ridiculed by others, she should have blacklisted the company BEING long ago, and avoided it from now on.

However, on the one hand, Taiyuki Nagato’s aura of being a production team for LOUDNESS and BOOWY is so dazzling that even his arrogance seems to be justified.

On the other hand, there was Ikeda's persuasion.

Since that unpleasant meeting, the relationship between Daikoku Moki and Ikeda has been drawn much closer at once.Ikeda admires Daikoku Moki from the bottom of his heart, and hopes to bring her on the right path, so while encouraging her, he also speaks good words for Nagato Taiyuki.

A person as far-sighted as President Nagato must have criticized you so mercilessly because he saw the potential of Dahei-san, which is far beyond that, and worried that Dahei-san would be complacent.

If it wasn't because he was optimistic about you, why would he spend so much time talking about someone like him?

Ikeda's persuasion sounds reasonable.

Is it really?

"If you ask me, I should have recommended myself to Yanqiao-san that time." Liangzi repeated the old saying.

But in this situation of fighting Kamiya, it is not surprising that Shinichi Iwahashi is mentioned.To be honest, this pair of enemies, unknowingly, stood up between Nagato Taiyuki and Iwahashi Shinichi respectively.

Now, Kamiya has lost a lot, it's time for Ryoko to muster up his energy and push the people he supports to the front.

"That being said, how can there be such a suitable opportunity now."

Kamiya muttered, "Besides, that Yanqiao-san may not be a great person."

Hearing what he said, Ryoko's eyes widened. This appearance was not much different from when Kamiya was firmly on the side of Nagato Taiyuki.

Dai Hemoji looked at these two friends and couldn't help but think in his heart:
Hope the two of them get married someday.

Dahei Moji decided not to discuss music matters with these two friends anymore.Similarly, I will not tell them that I sent the audition tape to Iwahashi Shinichi's company.

However, after the audition tape was sent out, there has been no response so far.

Does Yanqiao-san also think her music is not worth mentioning?
The moment Dahei Moji had this idea, he couldn't help shivering, and took a big sip from his wine glass.The self who has always been so confident has become timid and hesitant.

It seemed to be a subtle change in mood after being satirized by Nagato Taiko.

After all, she is just an ordinary girl who is not yet 20 years old and has not been in Tokyo for a long time from her hometown.

……

"It's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong!"

Shinichi Iwahashi's movements were wrong, and Akina Nakamori grinned like a kitten whose tail had been grabbed.This bluffing, unreasonable appearance is a lifelike paper tiger.

Yanqiao Shen sighed, "Got it, got it."

Nakamori Paper Tiger Akina said aggressively, "'Got it', just answer it once."

Then what did you say three times in a row?
Yanqiao Shenyi glanced at her, the paper tiger's face was full of arrogance that she was on top today.

At this time, if you point out her unreasonable place, [-]% will be thrown down by this paper tiger.But there is no way, this paper tiger can only scare one person when it opens its teeth and claws.

It is him who is being pressed under the paws of the paper tiger-guiding the steps of origami.

Yanqiao Shinichi was obedient under the paws of the paper tiger, but Akina Nakamori was steadfast, stretched out his paws to guide his origami techniques, stared at him, and then attacked, "...you can really pretend."

"..." Yanqiao Shinichi was speechless.

For this sake, it would be strange if it can no longer be seen that it was intentional.

With this awkward look, she just had a feeling of displeasure in her heart, and she was looking for trouble in different ways.
