Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 733
Today, all the famous people in the industry are present.

Under the background that the entertainment industry deliberately created gods, and the entire industry and even the general public were willing to cooperate, the scale of this funeral was unprecedentedly large.

In addition to those who came to express their condolences after receiving the funeral notice, there were also those who were not invited, and the office sent wreaths on their behalf.

And around the Qingshan Funeral Home, there are still a large number of ordinary people who spontaneously came to bid farewell to the Enka Queen.In order to facilitate the spontaneous mourning of ordinary people, arrow signs pointing the way are hung around the Qingshan Funeral Home.

In addition, there are also flower-laying places set up outdoors.

The rainy season is over, although the weather is a bit gloomy, but at least there is no trouble of rain, and there is no need to worry about the flowers and circles being wet and messed up by the rain——

There were too many people mourning, and the wreaths could not be placed, and a considerable part of them were placed in the open air.

The cameras of the TV station were also working nearby, and the reporters were busy recording the scene.

Of course, the camera is also interesting, and the focus is on familiar celebrities and artists.On such occasions, the most feared being photographed with inappropriate expressions and behaviors, therefore, everyone present paid great attention to the management of expressions.

The men wore black suits, and the women showed up without makeup, some in suits and kimonos.

Iwahashi Shinichi registered at the entrance and delivered the envelope containing the ceremony.Attending funerals and weddings, one does not show up empty-handed.Sign, enter the auditorium, and offer incense.

Misora ​​Hibari's adopted son, Kato Kazuya, saluted and thanked those who came to express their condolences.

Yanqiao Shinichi finished offering the incense, temporarily withdrew, went to the reception room on the other side to rest, and returned to the auditorium after the funeral ceremony began.Two cameras in the auditorium were responsible for recording, and outside the auditorium, reporters from the TV station were hunting for celebrities.

At times like this, if a star's unsightly facial expressions are accidentally photographed, he will definitely be condemned.

At Misora ​​Hibari's funeral, the young and fresh face of Iwahashi Shinichi will always attract attention.Occasionally, someone he didn't know came over to talk to him, exchanged polite greetings, and exchanged identities.

Occasions such as funerals have unconsciously become a stage for socializing.

……

After offering incense, Nakamori Akina walked out of the auditorium under the guidance of the staff.

She is wearing a black western-style dress today, with her hair up and no makeup.After exiting the auditorium, he walked quickly across the road with his head down, avoiding the ubiquitous cameras.

Although it was a solemn funeral, the reporters outside the venue seemed to be suppressing some kind of secret excitement.Because of this, the celebrity artists present consciously avoided it.

It wasn't until he walked into the lobby where the reception room was located that he breathed a sigh of relief.

When she was a child, Nakamori Akina, who sang Hibari Misora's songs with her mother, was definitely not out of etiquette.She lowered her gaze and walked down the aisle.

On such an occasion, even in the reception room, the atmosphere makes people feel uncomfortable.Acquaintances met each other, greeted each other in low voices, and shared a few words of grief for Hibari Misora.Whether out of sincerity or courtesy.

Akina Nakamori met Mori Shinichi and his wife, stopped and bowed to them.

Masako Mori's face was pale, eyes were red, and she followed behind her husband, bowing her head slightly in return.This former idol, who has been married and retired, was a disciple of Hibari Misora ​​and has a deep relationship with Hibari Misora.

"Akira sauce." It was Tokiko Kato who came to say hello.

Seeing her, Akina Nakamori became a little more emotional, and quickly lowered her head at her, "Hello, Kato-san."

"Long time no see." Kato Tokiko greeted her.

The two walked towards the reception room together with similar steps.

Two years ago, Tokiko Kato sent "The Difficult Ship" to Akina Nakamori, hoping that she could sing that song.Afterwards, the song was released, and she won her third record award with this song.

His career has reached an unprecedented peak, and because of that song, he opened his heart to Shinichi Iwahashi.

"It's too young." Kato Tokiko looked sullen.What she said was, of course, the age that Hibari Misora ​​passed away.Only 52 years old is indeed a premature age.

She raised her eyes and looked at Akina Nakamori.The face without makeup looks like a child, which is difficult to associate with the appearance on the stage.But precisely because of this, it is full of plasticity.

"Akina-chan just celebrated her birthday a while ago." Tokiko Kato remembered.To be honest, this Taopu Star who became famous at a young age has countless birthdays celebrated in front of the camera.

Akina Nakamori showed a small smile, nodded, and told her, "I'm already 24 years old."

"It's a good time." Tokiko Kato smiled, "The next stage will be the peak period of stage creation."

Akina Nakamori listened carefully, accepting the encouragement and optimism from her seniors.Kato Tokiko saw the appearance of her obedient student, and her heart was full of elder-like love and sympathy.

Now Nakamori Akina, the whole person shines like it has been washed, which makes people happy for her.

……

At the funeral ceremony afterward, representatives of singers from the entertainment world gathered in front of the altar to sing the posthumous work "The Stream Never Ends" by Hibaro Misora.

All the big names in the enka world stepped forward, among the female idols, only Akina Nakamori received this "honor".

The TV station's cameras were dutifully operating. When introducing the singers who will sing "Endless Stream" to bid farewell to Hibari Misora, the words used were "representing everyone in the entertainment industry".

As for who will stand in front of the stage, apart from the distance and closeness of the relationship with Hibari Misora, identity and status are also taken into consideration.

""The Endless Stream" was written by Yasushi Akimoto and composed by Yuezhang."

Together with the name of the songwriter, it was read out and sent to the ears of thousands of households through TV.

While the funeral ceremony was held in the venue, outside the venue, there was still an endless stream of ordinary people from all over the country who came to mourn.

When the singers representing the industry sang "The Stream Never Ends" together, the public outside the venue also spontaneously sang this song.Afterwards, according to statistics, there were about 4 people who went to bid farewell to Hibari Misora ​​that day.

However, just like the "continuous flow", the farewell river flows by, Misora ​​Hibari goes with the wave, and everything in the world is going on as usual.

Both within the arts circle and among the general public, they were quickly attracted by new major events.

The idol Seiko Matsuda suddenly announced that a press conference will be held, and the SUNMUSIC agency, which has been there for ten years since its debut, will become independent.

A blockbuster exploded in the industry.

……

Seiko Matsuda called the president of SUNMUSIC, Aizawa Hideyoshi, and told him that he was going to end the contract with the firm, open his own personal firm, and take responsibility for his career and life.

After receiving such a call, Aizawa Hidezhen choked on her words and got very drunk.

Seiko Matsuda's scheduled press conference hadn't even arrived yet, and gossip details about her independence flew all over the entertainment world, and even reached Shinichi Iwahashi's ears.

"President Hideharu Aizawa was sulking and drunk." This kind of detail that seems to be hidden under the table of the president's house can grow legs and run around in the entertainment industry. No matter how you look at it, it is deliberately spread out. Blow it all over the industry.

In 1978, Seiko Matsuda participated in an audition jointly organized by Sony Records and the girls' fashion magazine "SEVENTEEN" and won the championship in Kyushu. After that, she signed a contract with SUNMUSIC and went to Tokyo.

The brokerage contract until this year is exactly ten years old.

In the past ten years, he has become a top idol, an unprecedented mother idol, and a unique idol. Behind this, it is inseparable from SUNMUSIC's all-out promotion.For this firm, Matsuda Seiko is also a heavyweight in the town's facade.

Now, the facade of the firm announced that it will leave SUNMUSIC and become independent.

For SUNMUSIC, it is undoubtedly a huge blow.

But for Matsuda Seiko, it is not so easy to get out of the office.The more important it is to the firm, the more difficult it is to become independent.

SUNMUSIC is not a small office in the industry, not only that, but also the backbone of the music association, and the president Hidezhen Aizawa still holds a position in the music association.

As long as there is an order, it will be a "siege of the Son of God".

However, things are not that simple.Seiko Matsuda, who decided to be independent, didn't think about everything, and announced to go it alone as soon as his forehead got hot.

Back then, when she and Kanda Masaki got married in a flash, there were rumors in gossip magazines that "the Son of God has taken a fancy to the strength of the Ishihara Legion".

Kanda Masaki is the backbone of Ishihara Office, and Ishihara Office is a firm founded by the industry's leading star Yujiro Ishihara. The members under his command are collectively referred to as "Ishihara Legion".

Such a well-known Yujiro Ishihara died of illness two years ago, and the influence of the Ishihara Legion in the industry has plummeted.At the same time, rumors of a discord between Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda spread repeatedly.

In the eyes of the Japanese, Seiko Matsuda, a scheming woman, has nothing to lose.On such a major matter as independence, she is definitely not someone who acts without thinking.It can be said that only after having an idea, dare to make a big one.

If Ishihara Yujiro is still alive, with the strength of her husband, Ishihara Yujiro will mediate, and the Music Association can sell him some face.But Yujiro Ishihara passed away, and the influence of the Ishihara Legion was greatly reduced, so this road would not work.

From the looks of it, it was the record company that could make the most of it.

And Seiko Matsuda's record company is Sony - also a ten-year win-win cooperation.

……

The situation is not good for Minano Yoko.

When the news that Seiko Matsuda was about to hold an independent press conference was released, Shin Iwahashi subconsciously remembered Yoko Minano who was negotiating with Sony.

Yoko Minano, Shunichi Tokura, and Sony are still negotiating. Before the matter is conclusive, they have been suppressing it and not revealing it.

The Sony family has a big business, and each department does its own thing. Yoko Minano and Seiko Matsuda are in charge of different people, and they don't have much contact with each other at ordinary times. No one knows who is busy with what.

Or, Minano Yoko doesn't know what Matsuda Seiko is up to, but Matsuda Seiko has a chance to know what Minano Yoko is up to.

"The current idols are disobedient." The next time I met Masatoshi Sakai, Iwahashi Shinichi repeated the old words, talking about the words of the Fuji TV executive.

Hearing these words come out of his mouth, Sakai Masatoshi laughed and clapped his hands, "That's what happened."

Indeed, from the standpoint of the firm, it is irritating that there are popular idols whose wings are too hard to fly one after another.The cash cow has grown legs and wants to run. If he can't trap him, he will want to chop it into firewood and burn it.

"Be honest" is the firm's basic requirement for its artists.

Yoko Minano would hide it, and secretly communicated with her coordinating producer, and just happened to meet Iwahashi Shinichi who invited her to participate in the cooperation project, and helped her a lot, and finally made progress.

But Seiko Matsuda knows how to hide things better than her.I am afraid that long before Yoko Minano sought asylum in Sony, she had already discussed independence with her guardian in Sony.

Signed with Sony for ten years, she was once the pinnacle of idols, she can get what she wants, such Matsuda Seiko, the influence in the record company is far beyond that of Yoko Minano, a little girl who has only been popular for two years .

"Can Sony help two female idols become independent at the same time?" said Iwahashi Shinichi.

It is not so much a question as a statement.Sakai Masatoshi remained silent, took a sip from his glass.Tonight, it was Yanqiao Shinichi who took the initiative to ask him to meet, and when they met, they chatted about Matsuda Seiko's independence.

The answer is obvious, it is impossible for Sony to help two female idols become independent at the same time.

What's more, the original firm will go bankrupt after one independence, and the original firm will lose its appearance after another independence.

The two female idols have special status in their respective offices, and the heads of the offices are both closely related to the Music Association.Even a big company like Sony can have a little friction with the Music Association, but it can't freeze the relationship with the Music Association.

If the face is really torn, the record companies of the competitors will contact the Music Association and take the opportunity to snatch people.

Among the backbone of the Music Association, there are many famous songwriters and songwriters.These people and the idols achieved each other and opened the idol era.But as ballads gradually became obsolete and idols began to use more new songwriters, a sense of crisis followed.

Now, self-singing bands have become popular, and the idol market has shrunk, and these former big-name songwriters have been greatly affected.Because of this, they cannot allow idols who rely on songwriters to "harden their wings".

The songwriters who work in the Music Association cannot tolerate the betrayal of idols, and the firms that join the Music Association cannot bear the departure of the facade and the years of training in vain.

On this point, it is almost natural for the entire music association to reach a consensus.

Now, the two female idols have to be independent. If the Music Association does not take action, I am afraid that other idols will follow suit.Even if it is to suppress other people who are ready to move, action must be taken.

Masatoshi Sakai felt that Shinichi Iwahashi was paying attention to Yoko Minano.

Compared with Seiko Matsuda, whom Shinichi Iwahashi has never met before, Yoko Minano, whom Shinichi Iwahashi is familiar with, deserves more attention.What's more, because of his unintentional intervention, he had indirectly promoted her independent negotiation. Not long after he was happy for her and Yukiko Okada, such a big change suddenly happened, which made him feel a little bit put together.

Yanqiao Shinichi always felt that Seiko Matsuda chose this timing on purpose.

Now that she declares her independence, Yoko Minano will be on fire.
