Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 773
That night, TV Asahi's operator was extremely busy.

After the program was broadcast, a steady stream of phone calls came in, and all kinds of questions flooded in.All these phone calls include those who support the band, and those who criticize the capital for being too domineering.There is sympathy for the band, and there is outrage at the band's brutal interference.

It has been decades since the TV era, and the public has long known how to use the power in their hands as an audience.

After the show is over, the phone calls one after another will be a boost for THE BLUE HEARTS.

And among the continuous calls from the audience, quite a few were asking about the producer Shinichi Iwahashi who appeared in the show.

Some viewers wanted to know more information about the producer Shinichi Iwahashi, some viewers praised the producer Iwahashi's courage, and some viewers asked TV Asahi to invite Iwahashi-san to participate in the TV program.

This program is not only a documentary of THE BLUE HEARTS, but also a promotional film of Shinichi Iwahashi.

In addition to these, there are many more viewers who are asking the same question: Is the last producer Shinichi Iwahashi and this producer Iwahashi in the "fusion" series of commercials on TV during this period of time? the same person?

For other requests, the operators skillfully used working rhetoric to resolve the response.Only when faced with this question from the audience, did he give an affirmative answer——

This Iwahashi-san is also the producer of the planned album "Fusion".

……

It turned out to be the plan led by this Iwahashi-san!
It would be no surprise if such a daring producer could have these almost unrelated people appear in the same ad!

There is no reason not to look forward to a project produced by such Iwahashi-san!

So, when is the album coming out?
On October [-]th, after the documentary program of THE BLUE HEARTS was broadcast, the public knew who the producer Shinichi Iwahashi was, and they were full of affection and admiration for him.

I emphasized this name every day before, and when I whetted the appetite of the audience, I told them who this name is.

Then, at this moment, an advertisement for the planned album and the release date were announced.

……

Office U-MIZ.

After answering the phone, Mayumi Watanabe walked back and looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, "Can you say 'As expected of you' again?"

Her tone was both admiring and joking, with a bit of sarcasm like a joke.

Once you hear it, it's something that can only be said by someone who is familiar with it.

As soon as Yanqiao Shen heard it in his ears, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, he calmly waited quietly.

"Huh?" Watanabe Mayumi looked at him.

He also followed suit, looking at Mayumi Watanabe.

The two looked at each other for a while, Wanyumi Watanabe guessed what he meant, sat down, and said to herself, "The episode of THE BLUE HEARTS got a rating of 36.7. The highest point reached 42.1."

She repeated the information on the phone just now, "This rating is exactly No. 5 in TV Asahi's program ratings list this year."

TV Asahi, when they first agreed to do this program, they were a little bit concerned about the cooperation between Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe and their cooperation. Afterwards, it became popular and they realized that they had seized a great opportunity.

It wasn't until the ratings came out that it was a golden rooster that jumped into their arms.

wrong.It was Yanqiao Shen who delivered the golden rooster to their arms.

"When you go back later, you will definitely receive a call from TV Asahi." Wanyumi Watanabe said firmly.

Yanqiao Shinichi joked with her, "After hearing this, I want to go back quickly."

Mayumi Watanabe didn't mind either, she took it easy and replied, "I'm not changing ways to drive you away."

"The things I've been waiting for haven't come yet, and I can't drive them away." Yanqiao Shenyi was also in a good mood.

Wanyumi Watanabe smiled, walked into the reception room, and came back after a while, holding wine and two wide-mouthed glasses.Yanqiao Shinichi watched her pour the wine, and picked up one of the glasses.

The two wine glasses touched lightly.

"There is one more thing." Yanqiao Shenyi drank, but still refused to let go.

Wanyumi Watanabe was about to reach out her hand, when she suddenly thought of something, she couldn't help smiling, "It's really 'as expected of you'."... Just waiting for her to say the unspoken "as expected of you".

Iwahashi Shinichi showed an expression of winning the round.

He put down his glass and stood up, "I'm going back."

Mayumi Watanabe escorted him to the door.Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her, "THE BLUE HEARTS's record deal will be passed and entered the company soon, and the production of the new album will start immediately. And then the management contract—"

"Take your time." Wanyumi Watanabe interrupted him.

Yanqiao Shen nodded, "Okay, then do the same."

……

When he went back to the record company, sure enough, the clerk told him that TV Asahi had called.Not only TV Asahi, but also the industry from all over the world received calls.

Iwahashi Shinichi first returned the call from TV Asahi.As soon as he connected, the producer of the TV station on the other end of the phone was very kind, and he only had to call him a brother.

In other words, he and TV Asahi had produced "Band Paradise" together before, and there might be a prank show in the future. Usually, the two sides cooperate a lot, and the relationship is not bad, but today, it is obvious that the producer of the TV station The attitude is even more different.

The ratings of the first episode ranked among the top five programs of TV Asahi in the year, which is certainly worthy of the TV station's celebration. I would like to thank Shinichi Iwahashi who passed on this plan politely.

However, if you add what he did in this matter, it will be different.

For the sake of the current effect of this program, he set up the layout in the early stage, set up a line with Joan Jeter, and arranged such a wonderful ending technique, which is already meticulous and powerful enough.

But if we add a series of advertisements for the planned album that are interlocking with this program——

It is of course intentional to choose to broadcast the promotional advertisement before the broadcast of this episode.After satisfying the appetite of the audience, and then giving such an answer, the effect of publicity is ten percent.

This project involved half of the industry, and the participating companies all hoped that the project would become hotter and better. For this publicity strategy he planned, they had to actively cooperate.As for an underground band, other companies did not get involved in the past, and now, judging by the face of Iwahashi Shinichi and the interests of the project, they will not disrupt the situation.

With this plan, the industry almost gave the green light to Iwahashi Shinichi collectively, allowing him to go smoothly during the layout.

On the one hand, the power of the program is used to promote the plan, and on the other hand, the sweetness of the publicity is used to stabilize the industry.

The two unrelated things were strung together by him using his own name as strings of beads.

Now, after the broadcast of the program, the ratings exploded, and the topic of commercials reached the top. Even his own name became a hot topic. There were constant calls to TV Asahi, asking about "Producer Iwahashi".

Even he, the man in black behind the scenes, has become the focus of public attention, and the "name" of fame and fortune has already been obtained.

When I first received Shinichi Iwahashi's plan, the production team only saw a corner of that program. However, for this reason, if we look at the previous and subsequent events, there is nothing but admiration for this young producer. he thinks.

With such a talent, how could he miss him, how could he not befriend him?

The producer of TV Asahi had a friendly tone on the phone, and proposed that in order to celebrate the great success of this program, the TV station would treat guests as the host, and entertain the proposer and maker of this plan.

Usually, the office pays for entertainment, and entertains these TV people with delicious food and drinks. It can be said that it is the first-class treatment that the TV station, the "parents of food and clothing" of the people in black behind the scenes, will take the initiative to invite and pay for the entertainment.

Of course, it was impossible for Yanqiao Shinichi to refuse such an invitation.

……

After accepting the praise and invitation from TV Asahi, the next call came from the record company involved in the planning of the album, telling him that after the program was broadcast, the publicity effect exploded, and there were waves of inquiries.

The next call reported an increase in orders from the record store.

The next pass is the record store's additional order for "I'm Standing Here". The first batch of 15 copies has been released, and the second batch of 15 copies has also been released. open.

Up to now, when the decision was made to pay for it out of pocket, the worry of "don't sell it if you can't fill it up" has long since disappeared.Not only will it not lose money, but the fact that it has already been sold will allow Yanqiao Shinichi to make a fortune in this matter.

Putting down the phone again, Yanqiao Shenyi just took a breath when the pager rang again.Take it over to take a look, and call back the phone, opposite is Mine Island.

"It's really amazing, Yanqiao-san." Mineshima spoke the first sentence.

Watching him step by step from an ignorant layman to the present, Mineshima has always admired him.This time about THE BLUE HEARTS, Iwahashi Shinichi reached out and resolved it meticulously, and Mineshima's admiration has become admiration.

However, this is not a special call, just to say "great".

Mineshima told Shinichi Iwahashi that there is an endless stream of underground musicians applying to perform at his LIVEHOUSE, and there are also many underground musicians who have submitted their resumes to the production company, and the production company has also received a lot of underground orders. song production order.

"There are too many, this time there is no way to 'accept everything'." Mineshima said.

Yanqiao Shenyi listened, "It's really incredible."

"After the show was broadcast, the underground musicians knew that it was Yanqiao-san who had been running for the band, and they all regarded you as a hero." Mineshima's tone was not without emotion.

Previously, because of that projected album and ZARD's debut, there were many criticisms of Iwahashi Shinichi in the underground music circle, thinking that he was too commercialized, not a musician, but a businessman.

But with the broadcast of this episode, THE BLUE HEARTS, which affected the underground music circle but made them helpless, in the end, it was the rock bridge-san they had criticized who extended a helping hand to the band.

It cannot be said that underground musicians have no opinions and only see one side of the wall.Even if Shinichi Iwahashi helps THE BLUE HEARTS under pressure, it still cannot change his idea and practice of commercializing the band.

However, this time, the underground musicians realized that Iwahashi Shinichi was never a "betrayer", he was just walking on another road.But even if you are walking on a commercial road and see people stuck in the muddy path next to you, you will not stand by.

It is true that Iwahashi Shinichi is a businessman, but he is also a qualified musician.

With such a person, the underground musicians feel a strange sense of peace in their hearts.

If you want to turn to commercialization, this Yanqiao-san is committed to expanding the territory in the mainstream industry and making the band's road wider and wider.Even if they refuse to compromise with the mainstream, Shinichi Iwahashi, a hero who will not stand by the weak, is there, giving them the courage to stand upright.

Regardless of whether this idea is too naive, but at least at this moment, the underground musicians are impressed by the courage of Iwahashi Shinichi, and feel at ease for having such a character.

But for Yanqiao Shinichi, establishing such an image in the underground music circle has no harm at all.

No matter when, "people" are the first.As a record company, "talent" comes first.With such influence in the underground music circle, there is no need to worry about not having a steady stream of talents flocking to him.

Similarly, with such influence, he himself cannot be underestimated in the industry, and he has to find a way to make good friends.

……

Before the documentary program was broadcast, people in the music industry were relatively restrained, and few people expressed their thoughts publicly.The people in the entertainment industry who spoke before are also creators who dare to speak out.

And after the documentary program was broadcast, the direction of the trend was detected, and more and more people spoke about it.However, the popularity of the band is already so high that it cannot be higher, and these speeches cannot push the popularity to a higher level, that is, to the extent of adding a few firewood next to it.

On the contrary, there are a few comedians who have always been outspoken. They deliberately confronted the mainstream on the show and said something critical of the band, but they lived up to expectations and were bombarded by the audience who watched TV—success was hated even more.

As soon as October enters, the focus of the first half of the month will undoubtedly be THE BLUE HEARTS, which has continued to rise in popularity, and the much-anticipated project album.

And the third hot spot among them is Shinichi Iwahashi who created these two hot spots.

This name was frantically inquired by ordinary audiences, regarded as a hero by the underground music circle, and worked hard by the industry to make friends——

But somewhere in Tokyo, in the eyes of someone, this name, this program, has no meaning.

The day after watching the episode of THE BLUE HEARTS, Miyuki Nakajima went to her record company Boli Jiayin.

This year, Nakajima Miyuki planned the musical "Night Party" led by herself, and the premiere time is scheduled for mid-November. At this stage, it happens to be the time of intensive rehearsal.

Because of this, the sudden appearance in the record company surprised the staff.

Not only that, but when she came here this time, she also made a somewhat strange request.

"I remember the live video of the NAONのYAON Music Festival was in charge of Boli Jiayin, is that so?"

Although Miyuki Nakajima said a question, her tone was quite certain.But the staff, who were suddenly asked about old things, were a little unsure, so they called first.

After a while, I came back and reported to her: "Yes, we did the routine archiving on site."
