Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 755 755. Gear Rotation
At this stage, no record company has come forward to pay liquidated damages to redeem the band.

The record companies in Tokyo were indifferent to the fact that things were so ugly, but after thinking about it, this kind of ignorance was reasonable.

Small companies weigh how much they are, and dare not stretch out their hands.Big companies weigh the weight of the band and don't want to stretch out their hands.

Shinichi Iwahashi's GENZO is of course a small company, too small.Because of this, when Mineshima mentioned such a thing at first, he didn't respond.To bring in a band that has a dispute with the record company, for a small record company that is just starting out, if it does not operate well, it will get burned.

This piece of sweet potato is hot to hold, and it is not easy to eat it in the mouth.

Therefore, if you want to eat, you have to use your brains and be strategic.

The good thing is that disputes belong to disputes. Judging from the movement of Meldac Records and the phone call heard tonight, the situation facing the band is not particularly bad, at least not like Yoko Minano, who is about to be banned by the industry. All of them were killed.

Of course, in the final analysis, it is because an idol artist is not the same thing as a singer band, nor is an office and a record company the same thing.

But in this way, when Yanqiao Shenyi decides to intervene in this matter, the pressure will not be too great.

Previously, although Shinichi Iwahashi had a solid mind and consciously made some preparations to intervene in this matter, until he saw the band's performance, to be precise, he was listening to the recording of the phone call between the band and Mitsubishi executives, and the song After writing a new song for this purpose, I finally made up my mind.

Mitsubishi's executives called and threatened the band to delete the song, which just proved that there was room for meddling in this matter.

……

Now that he has decided to be the band's agent, he has to communicate with Mayumi Watanabe about this matter.After watching the band's performance, Iwahashi Shinichi, who promised to protect the band, called Watanabe Mayumi's office.

At noon, the two sat down to have a light meal together.

Shin Iwahashi told Wanyumi Watanabe about THE BLUE HEARST, and told her that he was going to be the band's agent.

Wanyumi Watanabe listened, and said to him: "You are really self-willed."

Manyumi Watanabe is probably the only one who would use "willfulness" to describe Shinichi Iwahashi.But on the other hand, since working together, Iwahashi Shinichi did give her such problems from time to time.

Yanqiao Shenyi accepted her "willfulness", "However, I also have my own considerations, Wanyumi-san. From the current point of view, there are some troubles to meddle in Lan Xin's affairs. Even if the troubles are resolved, it may not be taken back and dealt with." the cost of the contract."

When he opened his mouth, he first talked about the difficulty of intervening in this matter. Wanyumi Watanabe knew that he was very clear about the matter, not because he was overheated, but because he had already made some plans.

If you consider the difficulties, you must also consider the benefits.And, after weighing it, he thinks that the benefits far outweigh the difficulties, and it is worth running for the band.

Others may misunderstand, but Wanyumi Watanabe does not think that Shinichi Iwahashi got involved out of the loyalty of "friends of the underground music circle".

Working together in the past few years, the two of them have a tacit understanding in this regard, and it is easier to communicate.

Even though Mayumi Watanabe didn't approve of accepting bands with contract disputes, she didn't mention her own thoughts, and planned to figure out what he was thinking first, "So, how do you plan to intervene, and how do you deal with it?"

"I want to make the matter as big as possible." Shinichi Iwahashi said his plan, "Let the attention of the media and the public focus on this matter, and the band's reputation will be heated up."

Watanabe Mayumi raised an eyebrow.

Yanqiao Shen took her reaction into his eyes and changed the subject, "However, the emphasis should be on 'creative freedom', and other things should be lightened as much as possible. The most important thing in rock is 'spirit'. "

"Some words are very beautiful, but we are people in the entertainment industry after all." Yanqiao Shen stopped at one point.

Wanyumi Watanabe also understood what he meant. "Creative freedom" is a topic that can be talked about but is safe under the current situation.

"However, it is impossible to create an image of a band that is pressured by capital and is in a dilemma. In this incident, no one is required to play the poor guy. That would be too useless. Second, if the audience feels bad about Mitsubishi, it will also It caused dissatisfaction from Mitsubishi."

It is said that it is going to make a big fuss, but after all, it is not about tearing faces, so we should leave as much room as possible.Even, Yanqiao Shinichi also thought about how to prepare a step to expose this matter.

"However, even if the band simply said 'no', a band that just sang their own song in response to Mitsubishi's threat over and over again in the live house, this level of resistance is still not enough..." Iwahashi thought carefully.

"So, how do you make him 'enough'?" Mayumi Watanabe asked.

In the end, Yanqiao Shinichi replied, "It's not sure yet."

Wanyumi Watanabe showed a disapproving expression, "So, is it only half prepared?"

"It's only half way." Yanqiao Shinichi corrected her.

Most of the ideas have been drawn up, it just depends on whether the road will work or not.Now, telling Watanabe Mayumi about taking over the band is also moving forward on this planned road.

Listening to his explanation, Wanyumi Watanabe suddenly said, "If the company objects to accepting this band, what will you do?"

"Do you object? Wanyumi-san." Iwahashi Shin threw the ball to her.

Wanyumi Watanabe showed a "come on" expression, waiting for his answer.

"Then there's no way."

Yanqiao Shen smiled, "Then I have to settle the band in my production company first, and I will continue to find ways to stir things up, proceed to the situation I planned, and then transfer them."

"If it was you, you would have to go to the record company before you start to act." Mayumi Watanabe added for him as if complaining.

Yanqiao Shen kept laughing, "Of course, you can't wait until it rains to take out your umbrella."

"It's the same now." Watanabe Wanyu pointed out kindly.

"That's right," said Iwahashi Shinichi, "the 'now' too."

When he decided to intervene in this matter, he prepared two plans. If GENZO agrees with his plan, everything will follow as he thought.

If you disagree, turn to the second plan he told Wanyumi Watanabe.

Anyway, Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't fight unprepared battles.

"So," Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "is Manyumi-san objecting to this?"

If he really objected, Wanyumi Watanabe would not specifically ask him about his backup plan.When Yanqiao Shinichi said this, he somehow meant to ask the question knowingly.

Sure enough, she said, "Before you support and oppose, can you please come up with a plan?"

Hearing the familiar proposal, Yanqiao Shinichi couldn't help smiling.

……

The production of the planned album entered the second half, and Shinichi Iwahashi was very busy.Not only should we pay attention to the projected album, but also the upcoming film projecting meeting of our singers. In September, [-]th and [-]th, DREAMS COME TRUE will be held at Wangan Plaza for two consecutive days. The next circus tour ends.

Compared to these major events, planning for THE BLUE HEARTS has become trivial.

Watanabe Wanyumi Matsuguchi and Iwahashi Shinichi are about to prepare a detailed plan.

In addition to work, nights are mixed with this reception, that party and other entertainment from time to time.Sometimes it's within Tokyo, and sometimes it's farther away, somewhere in the Tokyo area.

Looking through the itinerary, it is full every day, and I have to play golf to socialize on Sunday.Fortunately, it's busy, but it's not chaotic, and it doesn't feel like going around in circles.It was methodical.

Among these various entertainments, there was also an invitation from Kenneth—an invitation to clean up for Akina Nakamori.

The producer and the singer who was produced started to quarrel from the first recording, Nakamori Akina also yelled "You bastard!" at the producer, saying he was "what a joke!".

Although the producer of Yanqiao is open-minded and doesn't care about it, it is impossible for the agency to pretend to be stupid. Afterwards, there are many kinds of entertainment and condolences.

Kenyin's thoughtful aftercare service is the strong backing for Akina Nakamori to "domineeringly" in the recording studio.

Having said that, the office is still carefully helping Taopu Sida to deal with the aftermath, but they don't know that the two guys who were arguing in the recording studio have already reconciled in private.

In this way, it feels a bit like a young couple singing together, cheating their company's entertainment funds for their boyfriend.

However, the manager at Yanyin treats guests, needless to mention eating and drinking well, flower wine is an important item that cannot be skipped...

In this way, after being scolded by the girlfriend, "You bastard!", the girlfriend's company invites her boyfriend to drink flower wine in order to make amends.

Can't think about it any further.

……

However, a quarrel is a quarrel, but because both parties have a consensus to find a suitable way to deal with it, although they quarrel occasionally and say "what's going on?!" at each other when they are in a hurry, the more noisy the better.

After quarreling all the people who wanted to quarrel, the production of the song gradually got on the right track.Once a treatment method that both parties can agree with is decided, with Akina Nakamori's singing ability, it will be easy to complete this job.

During this period, Shinichi Iwahashi listened to all the albums released by Akina Nakamori since her debut, taking advantage of the car ride or taking a break, and also learned that she had released an album that was produced and sung in English, and the album was also released. Released simultaneously in the US.Although there is no splash at all.

On the contrary, the fans in Japan are very supportive, even if it is an all-English album, they still buy it for her, which shows that she is indeed popular enough.

Japanese singers probably have an American dream in their hearts, but it can’t be said that there are no Japanese singers who have made it to the United States, but it is true that they can be counted on one finger.

However, Japanese people also have different attitudes towards singers breaking into the United States.If you completely abandon the domestic market and enter the United States, if you fail, you will be ridiculed by the crowd and your vitality will be greatly damaged.

But if the focus is still in China, and it’s just a matter of releasing one or two records abroad, then it doesn’t matter.

This Taopu star obviously belongs to the latter category.

As for Shinichi Iwahashi, after listening to the album made in English, what he thought was that the English pronunciation of this Taopu star is really cute, the standard "Dolimuzicomtulu" level.

But the occasional rants are all rants. After listening to all her albums, Yanqiao Shenyi admires her the most in his heart.

I admire this Nakamori Akina's growth rate, as well as her bold and superb song selection and singing skills.

The so-called "talent" can actually be experienced from her.

"Akina-san has considerable talent, it's not an exaggeration to call her a genius."

When accepting the reception from the staff at Kenyin, Shinichi Iwahashi and the others chatted about Akina Nakamori with Daben who came over to deal with the aftermath, and bragged to him, "It's because she has her own ideas, and these ideas are quite standing. You have to hold your ground, that’s why there are differences.”

"Do you think so?"

Omoto is not only happy for Iwahashi Shinichi's recognition of Nakamori Akina, but also reassured that the Iwahashi producer is really open-minded.

In this way, if the two of them quarrel in the recording studio later, they don't have to be too nervous when apologizing.

Having said that, this Yanqiao-san and Ming Cai-san met before this cooperation.Big Ben still remembered greeting each other when he saw the two of them meet.

Daben knew that Shinichi Iwahashi had been an idol's manager - it was written on his resume, so he could tell if he paid a little attention.Therefore, it is not surprising why he knew Akina Nakamori.

It's quite normal to meet someone familiar by chance at the work site.

However, acquaintance and cooperation are definitely not the same thing.

Just looking at the usual Akina Nakamori, who would have thought that she would be so difficult to deal with at work?

But in Daben's view, it is true that Akina Nakamori, a daughter of ordinary people who has grown up to such a star, is a genius.Shinichi Iwahashi, who was born as a small idol manager and turned into a famous producer, should not be underestimated either.

To some extent, the resumes of these two people are quite similar.

"To be honest, I also think it's a pity to sacrifice part of Akina-san's expressiveness this time because of the consideration of the overall effect." Shinichi Iwahashi sighed casually with Omoto.

This is naturally the best thing to hear in the ears of the Yanyin staff who came to help with the aftermath.

"There is no way around this. From the overall effect, the current approach is reasonable." Iwahashi Shinichi said good things about Nakamori Akina, and the staff of Kenyin praised Iwahashi Shinichi to the utmost.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi was not talking politely, but really thought so, so he went on to say, "It would be a pity if Akina-san's own ideas were abandoned like this."

"If possible," he mentioned, "I would really like to make a version dominated by Akina-san's ideas."

After saying this, the staff of Kenyin will no longer feel that this is Yanqiao Shinichi's polite words.

However, now is not the time to talk about it.The priority at the moment is to complete the production of "Kiss", which is part of the project album.

After eating and drinking well, Yanyin's staff prepared a taxi for Yanqiao Shinichi, nodded and bowed, and sent him to the car.

Now, the production of this projected album, which has gathered half of the entertainment world, not only made Iwahashi Shinichi a big hit as a producer, but also made him a friendly object of various record companies.
