Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 714 714. Three generations of sisters
The film adaptation of "Kitchen" received a good response, and the leading role, Inamura Izumi, was also well received.Wanyumi Watanabe successfully paid back the capital, the most important thing is the tailor-made character, and she also made a shining business card for Izumi Inamura.

After the film was released, the office received many invitations for Izumi Inamura to participate in the program or audition.Once there is a little splash, you must never let go of any opportunity.So Izumi Inamura was so busy that he became dizzy and began to brush his face.

In addition to showing your face, you have to improve your acting skills and go to acting training classes on a regular basis.

The heroine of the film, Inamura Izumi, was well-received, but her leading actor, Fukuyama Masaharu, was not as good.When he was appointed to play the male lead, he was more valued for his young acting skills as a newcomer, and when he played against Izumi Inamura, he was more able to perform that kind of erratic feeling.

In the end, the "feeling" is in place, and Fukuyama Masaharu is like the dregs of medicine that was thrown away after being fried, and is rarely mentioned.

Throughout the movie, the heroine Izumi Inamura and the veteran actress Fumio Umezawa, who played the role of a transgender mother to perfection, were hotly discussed.

Inamura Izumi's status as the absolute protagonist makes Masaharu Fukuyama a part of the image of Inamura Izumi in the movie.

During the movie promotion period and the release period, AMUSE also sent a few drafts to Masaharu Fukuyama in cooperation, but there was no splash, so forget it.

The two young actors have their own paths after the filming. The two co-directors, Jun Ichikawa, who became famous in the first battle of "Ugly Girl", this "Kitchen" once again affirmed his ability to shoot girls' films. During this period, he became the best candidate to promote new actors among major firms and film companies.

However, Jun Ichikawa's debut film "Ugly Girl" and the follow-up "Kitchen" are both girls' films. He also wants to try new styles and needs breakthroughs, so he plans to stop for the time being.

As for Shunji Iwai, who was his partner, he was unknown before. He filmed a short play on Fuji TV, and occasionally filmed commercials and MVs. Opportunity.

For him, being hired to participate in "Kitchen" this time is undoubtedly a good opportunity for his career.

The person who gave him this opportunity was Shinichi Iwahashi.

When he was suddenly appointed to participate, Yoshida Masaki told Iwai Shunji that the person who recommended him was Iwahashi Shinichi.Iwai Shunji thought about it, and had an intersection with that Iwahashi-san. It was when he signed a contract with Warner that he shot a MV for Chisato Moritaka.

However, filming MV and music production are two completely unrelated things. Iwai Shunji never met Iwahashi Shinichi from the beginning to the end, and it was even more unexpected that he would get such an opportunity later because of filming a MV.

Because I filmed a MV, I got this opportunity.

To explain why Shinichi Iwahashi recommended himself to Masaki Yoshida, we can only think that the level of that MV was approved by Shinichi Iwahashi.

In this day and age, record companies don't pay much attention to the MV of a song, and few of them spend a lot of effort on the MV.In this regard, Iwahashi Shinichi, who pays attention to the quality of the MV, is also a special producer in the eyes of Iwai Shunji.

When shooting the MV for Chisato Moritaka, Shunji Iwai took it seriously.If it was because of that MV that he got this opportunity, in Iwai Shunji's opinion, he should not only thank Iwahashi Shinichi for giving him the opportunity, but also thank him for his appreciation and recognition.

However, despite participating in "Kitchen" thanks to him, Shunji Iwai never had the opportunity to meet Shinichi Iwahashi.I thought this intersection would come to an end for now, but I didn't expect to be contacted by him again.

This time, Shunji Iwai finally met the Iwahashi-san who gave him a chance.

Shinichi Iwahashi contacted Shunji Iwai in order to ask him to shoot another advertisement for him.

A promotional advertisement for that planned album.

The snowball is getting bigger and bigger, and for this reason, this planned album, which originally only had three or two kittens, now includes Taopu Star, old-fashioned talents, and new stars in the singing world.

The old-fashioned powerful faction has more than enough power in the field, and the popularity may not be enough, but needless to say, the topic is first-class.

There are big names, new stars, and unknown newcomers, with a combination of meat and vegetables and balanced nutrition.

There are many singers involved, and the record companies they belong to are also different. Fortunately, the division of interests is clear enough, and there is no ambiguity.

The chief producer is Shinichi Iwahashi, who is in charge of the production of all songs.This kind of collaborative album puts the power in his own hands, one is to ensure the overall style, and the other is to avoid disputes caused by the dispersion of power.

When the snowball gets bigger, the participating record companies also hope to achieve benefits, and are willing to cooperate in terms of publicity, no matter how big or small the cooperation is.

According to Iwahashi Shinichi's idea, it is rare to make such a planned album, and it must be publicized with great fanfare.So, he planned to shoot an advertisement with all the participating singers appearing collectively, and it would be played on TV before the album was released.

The advertisement should be shot cleverly, but it doesn't have to be so unexpected. Iwahashi Shinichi thought it would be convenient, and contacted Iwai Shunji first to see if he has a schedule.

This is another great opportunity.

Shunji Iwai was just about to repay him, and he was willing to take over the shooting of the commercial without saying a word.Because of this, the two met for the first time.

Shunji Iwai has long hair fluttering, behind the frame glasses, a pair of quiet eyes, too quiet, as if everything seen by these eyes will become slow.

He is three years older than Iwahashi Shinichi, but with a slovenly appearance and a short beard, he looks older than his actual age.

When Iwahashi Shinichi sized him up, Iwai Shunji sized him up too.

Those slow eyes looked over, as if they were holding back their thoughts.

Very young.

This is Shunji Iwai's first impression of Shinichi Iwahashi.Young and tough.Not like a music producer.

After the two greeted each other and sat down face to face, Shin Iwashi told Shunji Iwai about his plan and his thoughts.When he talks about this project, he is a full-fledged producer.

Facing the fully capable Iwahashi Shinichi, Iwai Shunji even felt somewhat timid.

"In short, generally speaking, I want to shoot the feeling of coexistence of fusion and difference." Shinichi Iwahashi gave a general direction.

He insists that laymen do not interfere with insiders, and tries his best to give creators freedom.

Shunji Iwai accepted the cooperation list he had drawn up, and wrote down the request he made. The whole meeting was extremely simple, so simple that after the topic was over, when the room fell into a brief silence, Shunji Iwai felt the silence was abrupt.

He looked at the cooperation list in his hand again, read it carefully, and after a while, he began to feel unbelievable-he couldn't figure out how the producer managed to get the people on the list together.

"correct."

Yanqiao Shinichi suddenly broke the silence and mentioned, "The branch about ZARD in "Kitchen" was handled very cleverly. I heard Watanabe-san mention it, this is your idea."

Shunji Iwai raised his eyes and explained, "I want to be as natural as possible, more natural."

This Iwahashi-san is also the producer of ZARD.

"I like the handling of this place very much." Yanqiao Shinichi thought sincerely.

Being praised so bluntly, Shunji Iwai showed a small, not necessarily shy smile.

"Anyway, I'm counting on you this time too." Yanqiao Shinichi said.

He sent Shunji Iwai to the door.On one side is an unknown new director, and on the other side is a well-known producer in the industry. Such a first meeting was so indifferent, but Shunji Iwai kept this meeting in his heart.

Because Yanqiao Shinichi really showed his appreciation for him.In the initial stage, although it needs to be tempered, but the real appreciation from others makes Iwai Shunji heart-warming.

Shunji Iwai secretly made up his mind to make an appearance of the task that Shinichi Iwahashi entrusted to him.

……

Tokura Junichi's office is crumbling, and it all depends on Yoko Minano.

But now, the conflict between Yoko Minano and him is deepening, and "termination" has become a loaded shell, which may be fired at any time.Once this cannonball is fired, the firm can only close its doors and go down the road.

Du Cang Junyi flourished as a composer, and got a position in the music association.But the ability to run an office is almost zero, just blindly follow the trend.

Not only that, when the bubble blows and real estate speculation is hot, he also follows the trend and buys.The money for him to invest and squander in this way came from Yoko Minano.Not only what she earned for the firm, but also what he borrowed from the loan in the name of Nanye Yoko.

In Tokura Shunichi's view, an idol is just a beautiful and soulless product in the window, and as the person who manufactured the product and put her beautifully in the window, whether he takes her as collateral or puts her in the She was thrown into the corner, all of it was taken for granted.

Could she have climbed into the window without him?

From Tokura Shunichi's point of view, Minano Yoko is really ungrateful, which makes people feel unhappy.

Yoko Minano is very popular, she is a rare popular idol in recent years, but in Tokura Toshi's eyes, this popularity is illusory, once she dares to jump out and terminate the contract, it will disappear in an instant.

This confidence comes from him, Tokura Shunichi, and his extensive network in the music industry.

Yoko Minano's contract will be renewed by the end of this year, and she has made it clear that she will not renew her contract with the firm.But Du Cangjun holds her priority to renew the contract in one hand, as long as there is no next family to pay for her to terminate the contract, he still has to make a living under his hands.

If she wants to terminate the contract, she has to go to court.Either pay liquidated damages by yourself, and obediently abide by the industry rules that you are not allowed to appear on TV for two years, or stay obediently.

In addition to liquidated damages, there is also a bank loan borrowed in her name.

Du Cang Shunichi is confident that no firm in the industry will offer her an olive branch.

This popular idol is a hot potato, and no one dares to take her over, and then take the blame for the collapse of Du Cang Junyi's office on himself.

How can a mere Yoko Minano compare with the rules and face of the industry?

As the conflict deepened, Minano Yoko had no trust in Tokura Shunichi, and it was impossible to sit down and renegotiate it by easing the relationship. The only option was to tear her face apart and use power to oppress her.

Du Cangjun thought that Yoko Minano would recognize the reality, bowed his head, and came back to apologize to him to ease the relationship, but he didn't expect that she had made up her mind, even if no firm accepted her, she would never change her mind.

Everyone in the industry abides by the rules, only Yoko Nanno is ready to break through all this.

Thoroughly tearing his skin apart, Du Cangjun held his breath secretly, wanting to make Nanye Yoko suffer——

He wanted to spread her scandal and ruin her reputation, but during the years since signing the contract, Nanye Yoko has been working continuously, and his daily work is nothing but work. Even the firm that knows her best can't find any negative news about her.

Wanted to stop all her jobs, but couldn't bear to part with this cash cow.

Before the end of the contract, Yoko Minano was still the firm's only cash cow.

Therefore, Du Cang Junyi wanted to squeeze her hard before the contract period ended, so as to make another fortune.For this reason, in the past year, Du Cangjun has been in a mess, taking on some scattered jobs for her with fast money, and making this Yoko Minano around.

However, while taking revenge on Yoko Nanno, he was also timid and fearful. Considering that the end date of the contract was at the end of the year, he avoided giving her a job until the end of the year, and did not want to offend the industry.

Such a despicable face fell into the eyes of Nanye Yoko, and he looked down on him even more, and he firmly believed in not bowing his head.

At such a stalemate and weird stage, Sony, the record company where Yoko Minano worked, gave her an invitation to collaborate on a project.

Iwahashi-san of GenZo is taking the lead and is planning to make a project album, inviting enka singers, bands, and idols from all walks of life to collaborate on such an album.

Among them is an idol-style song with lyrics and music provided by a rock band, and the rising star Fuyumi Sakamoto in the enka world has been confirmed as one of the lead singers.

The other people Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to invite to share the stage with her were Yoko Minano and Yui Asaka.

It is applied to the TV series "Taimei Criminal", which successively popularized three generations of heroines, Saito Yuki, Minano Yoko, and Asaka Yui. Fuyumi Sakamoto took the position of Saito Yuki, sharing the same stage with the second and third generation heroines.

Play without Yuki Saito, of course, because she is already an actress who has starred in morning dramas.It is also because it is impossible for Saito Yuki to participate in this project that Iwahashi Shinichi thought of a set of "Taimei Criminal".

This project was sent to two generations of heroines at the same time. While waiting for Yoko Minano's approval, Asaka Yui readily agreed, saying: "Being able to participate in Iwahashi-san's project, being able to work with so many outstanding It is an honor here to include singers in the same album."

However, when this invitation was delivered to Du Cang Junyi, his first reaction was: "Something inexplicable!"

In the past two years, a person surnamed Yanqiao has established himself in the music world, but in Tokura Shunichi's view, he is just a person who is used to speculating and has two talents, but he is not yet Worth keeping in mind.

It's only been a year or two, so let's talk about other things when we can really gain a foothold.

But I didn't expect that this person would send the project proposal to him one day.

Not only that, when Tokura Shunichi felt that this kind of plan was meaningless and would not make him any more money, but would take up a lot of Yoko Minano's time and wanted to reject it, he suddenly realized that he hadn't Way to refuse.

The producer, surnamed Yanqiao, has already woven a net that Du Cang Shunichi can't refuse.
