Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 732 732. The so-called identity

Okada Yukiko told Iwahashi Shinichi that Minano Yoko was negotiating with Sony.Her producer at the record company was willing to help matchmaking and persuade Sony to help her become independent from Junichi Tokura's office.

"However, it is still in the negotiation stage and has not yet been finalized."

Once they agreed to accept Yoko Minano, Sony would have to communicate with Tokura Shunichi and the Music Association to negotiate terms.At that time, it is inevitable that we will continue to argue.

Okada Yukiko was happy for Yoko Minano that she had a turn for the better, but things couldn't be settled, and it wasn't the time to breathe a sigh of relief.Her simple worry seemed a little silly.

But even Iwahashi Shinichi felt that Minano Yoko was lucky to have such a friend as her.

Given Yoko Minano's current commercial value, it would be of great benefit to accept her, and it would be worth it for Sony to negotiate terms with Tokura Shunichi and Yinxie for her.

At any time, only if it can make the company profitable, someone will take the lead.

"By the way." Okada Yukiko suddenly mentioned, "Yoko-chan also said that Iwahashi-san helped."

Yanqiao Shinichi was a little surprised, "Me?"

"Yeah." Okada Yukiko nodded, "Yoko-chan said that the record company's willingness to assist seems to be related to your invitation to participate in the project album."

When Yanqiao Shen heard what she said, he was surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he somehow guessed something.

……

Now that I think about it, when I was drinking last time, Fuji TV's senior manager mentioned this matter, Sakai Masatoshi pointed out that Shinichi Iwahashi was cooperating with Yoko Minano, and he stopped him. Maybe Yoko Minano might want to borrow Sony For the sake of independent power.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi did not guess much, and within two days later, he met Masatoshi Sakai again—in the recording studio, in order to decide on the arrangement of the collaboration song.

At the end of the day's work, Sakai Masatoshi asked Iwahashi Shinichi to go drink together again and again.

"Minano is now negotiating with Sony, hoping to get asylum."

Before Kawamura came over, Sakai Masatoshi first talked about it with Iwahashi Shinichi.After finishing speaking, he looked at Yanqiao Shinichi, "Iyanqiao-kun has the expected expression."

"After all, Minano-san's record is at Sony." Shinichi Iwahashi explained.

This is the obvious thing.If the firms in the industry were concerned about Tokura Junichi, they would not extend their hand to her.The best way is to go to the record company for help and become independent with their help.

"Iwahashi-kun, you also helped here." Sakai Masatoshi also mentioned this matter. "Because of your plan, Nanye was brought in. Now, considering this plan, Du Cangsang can't act casually for a while, so he can take this opportunity to negotiate terms. Moreover, Nanye participated in the plan. After the publicity period, It can also guarantee her popularity and image during this time."

"Then I have no intention of planting willows." Yanqiao Shenyi said casually.

Although this planning invitation did not really play a decisive role in Nanye Yoko's independence - if she wanted to plan to be independent, she must have already started to ask the record company for help.But after all, it also indirectly brought her a little help.

Sakai Masatoshi smiled, "Tokura-san is very angry."

If he hadn't said it with a smile, then this sentence would have made Yanqiao Shenyi a little more apprehensive.But for the man in black who has made achievements in the recording industry, Tokura Shunichi has weight, but it is not yet to the point where he needs to be worried.

"The record company has plans for the record company, and Tokura-san and the Music Association have their plans." Sakai Masatoshi mentioned the Music Association in a rather disapproving tone.

The Music Association was established in the name of protecting singers, but now it is clearly stated that it is an organization that exploits singers.Reputable firms all join the music association, and the heads of big firms hold positions in it.

For this reason, the Music Association has another special function.The entire industry weaves a big net to firmly stick their respective artists to their own territory.

As long as the firms reach a consensus not to poach talent from each other or accept artists from other firms, then the singers under these firms will have to be exploited or take the risk of being banned independently.

Jun Tokura insisted on "the current idol is disobedient, we need to give her some color", and he would not break the rules by joining the music association's office, so he reached out to Yoko Minano.

The only thing that can help her is a firm that has nothing to do with the Music Association, or a record company.

In front of major record companies, all the Music Association can do is protest and condemn.Of course, the record company should also sell the music association's face accordingly, so it's not good to be too tough.

And now, Yoko Minano is participating in a project involving half of the industry.This large net involving many interests also left the Music Association with no choice but to stand still.

"If you say that, Nanye-san will have a turning point." Yanqiao Shinichi also heaved a sigh of relief for her in his heart.Or it should be said that I am happy for Yukiko Okada who is always worried about her friend getting stuck in it.

Although Sony is definitely not a charity company, and under pressure to get Yoko Minano, it will definitely put all kinds of expenses and favors incurred for it into Yoko Minano's contract later, and the wool comes from the sheep.

In addition, in order to demonstrate its authority, the music association will inevitably boycott Minano Yoko, and threaten the TV station to reduce her chances of appearing on the screen by saying that its singers will not co-star with Minano Yoko.

But after all, there is Sony behind her. As long as Sony comes forward and proposes that "the condition for Sony's singer performance is to bring Yoko Minano", then this resistance is not impossible to break.

No matter how bad it is, it's better than the current situation where no one dares to accept after breaking up with Du Cang Junyi.

……

The next time, when Iwahashi Shinichi saw Yoko Minano in the recording studio again, her complexion looked much better, and her whole spirit was different.

Although it was also full of vitality in the past, but this time, it looked more energetic.

"Yanqiao-san."

She was the first to arrive today, and when we met, she said hello to Yanqiao Shinichi.

"Hello, Minano-san." Iwahashi Shinichi greeted her.

Yoko Minano smiled elegantly and said softly, "You can just call me 'Yoko'."

Indeed, he always called Okada Yukiko and Asaka Yui by their first names, and it was a bit strange that he said "Nanno-san" in public and private.

Only Fuyumi Sakamoto and Shinichi Iwahashi still use honorifics when dealing with artists like Fuyumi Sakamoto, and it looks like they will continue to use honorifics in the future.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down across the table.

Probably because both of them are quite familiar with each other, both of them feel that they should say something, but because they are not very familiar with each other, they don't know what to start with.

For this reason, it was more difficult to talk to strangers than strangers, and he was silent for a while.

Yoko Minano looked at him, and Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her too.

"The weather is fine today." After she finished speaking, she blushed suddenly, and she felt that the topic was inexplicable at first.

Yanqiao Shinichi didn't expect her to say this, but still nodded, "Indeed, it's a sunny day."

"My name is 'Yoko', so I like sunny days very much." Yoko Minano said slowly.After adjusting, I didn't know what to say just now, and the embarrassment of subconsciously using the weather as a topic has disappeared without a trace.

Yanqiao Shinichi was about to answer the call when he called out, "Nanye-san..."

"Just call me 'Yoko'." Minano Yoko blinked her gentle eyes and smiled.

"Yes, Yoko." Yanqiao Shen changed his words and laughed, "You are really interesting."

Yoko Minano also laughed, "It would be nice not to be regarded as a strange person by you."

"Yukiko often talks about you." She finally mentioned Okada Yukiko's name naturally.

Yanqiao Shenyi answered, "Really?" The two exchanged glances, looked at the expressions on each other's faces, and for a moment, coincidentally, they both confirmed in their hearts that they were indeed familiar with each other unilaterally.

Thinking of Okada Yukiko holding the phone receiver, chatting with Iwahashi Shinichi for a while, and then Yoko Minano, I can't help feeling that she is really childish and cute.

"Thank you for inviting me." Yoko Minano said sincerely.

Although Sony and Du Cangjun are still negotiating, the dust has not yet settled.However, it does not prevent her from thanking Yanqiao Shinichi.

In fact, even with the support of Sony to become independent, apart from the contract, there is still the trouble of Tokura Junichi investing in her name that needs to be resolved. For Yoko Minano, independence is only a step.

However, as long as it has the support of Sony and can gain a foothold in the industry, it will have the backing to solve the trouble.Things can only be resolved one by one.

it is more than words.

"The two chatted so speculatively~!!"

Asaka Yui rushed into the recording studio and said while running.When he walked to the table, he straightened his face and bowed to Yanqiao Shen seriously, "Good morning, Yanqiao-san!"

This movement is quite big in all aspects.

She said hello to Yanqiao Shinichi solemnly, and said hello to Minano Yoko lightly.

Behind Asaka Yui, Sakamoto Fuyumi walked in slowly.For a while, the relationship between these two people is very good. The small idol who is as energetic as a small cannonball, and the dignified enka singer, get along unexpectedly.

Of course, the way of greeting is definitely different.

Fuyumi Sakamoto was polite, and greeted Shinichi Iwahashi and Yoko Minano, and the sound engineer, and even the assistant who served tea and water nodded politely to him.

After finishing the polite words, I started to read the score and arrange today's recording process.The time of the idols was sporadic, the recording ended in the morning, and Yui Asaka and Yoko Minano were going to participate in the program in the afternoon.

It's rare to get together like this, so we have to hurry up and get ready to start.

The performance of the two professional idols is impeccable. Fuyumi Sakamoto is also getting better and better, and her voice has the feeling of an idol.The difficulty of recording this idol song is not high. As long as Sakamoto Fuyumi finds the right state, the progress will be rapid immediately.

However, to be honest, the voice has an idol feeling, which is only the first challenge facing Fuyumi Sakamoto.

During the publicity period, the three girls had to go to the TV station to sing.When the time comes, Sakamoto Fuyumi will have to sing and dance along, and do her homework on being an idol.

"Oh, I always feel that the future is bleak."

At noon, both idols rushed to the next workplace, and only Shinichi Iwahashi and Fuyumi Sakamoto went out for dinner.During the banquet, Fuyumi Sakamoto, who was sold to Shinichi Iwahashi by the teacher and forced to become an idol, sighed when she mentioned that she would learn idol dance afterwards.

"Before the recording started, Sakamoto-san was also worried about singing well, but now it seems that he was worrying too much." Shinichi Iwahashi comforted her.

Sakamoto Fuyumi smiled wryly, and laughed at herself: "I have already used all the 'cute'."

Today is Friday and tomorrow is Saturday, July 22.

Tomorrow, Hibari Misora's funeral will be held at the Aoyama Funeral Home.Reputable figures in the entire entertainment industry went to the funeral.

In addition, outside the Qingshan Funeral Parlor, a place for ordinary people to mourn has been set up. The funeral time and mourning information have been made public to the public.

"Tomorrow, I will go see you off with Teacher Inomata." Fuyumi Sakamoto mentioned Hibari Misora, even though it was in private, her face was still a little more serious.

Shinichi Iwahashi will also be present tomorrow.

He's going, although Akina Nakamori is not in the same league with the enka world, and has no personal relationship with Hibari Misora, but he is Taopustar after all, so he will definitely go to this kind of occasion.

Not only to go, listen to her, but also arranged for her to participate in the final farewell chorus.

It was a commemorative session where representatives of singers from the entertainment world collectively sang Hibari Misora's posthumous work "Endless Flow".

When Hibari Misora ​​passed away, the entertainment industry had already intended to put her on the altar. Now, the entire entertainment industry is also willing to cooperate and give Enka a face.

And Akina Nakamori was invited to stand in front to participate in the chorus, which was actually a part of Warner and Kenyin's cooperation in creating the gods.

After all, she is the pinnacle of female idols, No.1 with a record of winning three consecutive awards.

And as long as Akina Nakamori stepped forward, for her, it was also an affirmation of her status in the industry.This Taopu Star, who has won three consecutive championships, is being regarded by the industry as a big thing in the future.

At this moment, the pop music world recognizes her, and the singing world also recognizes her.

Even though she is still young, she is not enough to be called a "big thing" in the entertainment world in terms of seniority, but for this sake, what she lacks is only seniority.

At this moment, no one doubts that Akina Nakamori is a big star in the future.

……

On Saturday, Iwahashi Shin got up early in the morning.

He washed up and changed into a uniform, and Sanchi Iijima came to pick him up.

Today's occasion, Watanabe Mayumi will not be absent.It's just that she went back to the old house of the Watanabe family first, and then went there with her mother, sister and brother-in-law under the name of "Watanabe's family".

Needless to say, Yasushi Akimoto, the chubby young man who wrote this song, will also be there.

In the auditorium where the funeral is held, the people who can go in and sit down are all figures in their respective industries.Yanqiao Shinichi acted alone, using the identity of the president and producer of the record company.

In a sense, being able to be invited to Hibari Misora's funeral and to enter the auditorium where the funeral was held also meant that Shinichi Iwahashi was no longer an unknown person in the industry.

Although it can't be compared with those big names in the industry, it has its own identity after all.
