Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 8 008. Selling Excellence
What he said was really ordinary.

But because the tone and expression of his speech are so natural, it seems to hide a subtext: I don't know what style we are, because your knowledge is too shallow.

Tiangu Jinli's laughter awakened the teammates of the youth who had nothing to do with him and neither joined nor stopped the topic.

Everyone just met by chance, even if they are not used to seeing them in some places, and they are sarcastic, it will not really be too much.A slightly older person hurriedly rounded off the awkward chat.

"That's interesting! Iwahashi-san."

After walking a little further, Tiangu Jinli stopped and said to him with a smile.

Hearing what she said, Iwahashi Shinichi was a little confused, "Did I say something funny?" And then, can you stop saying something funny?Being told that all day by her made him feel as if he was deliberately playing tricks.

"No." She shook her head slightly, "I think it's great that you said that."

The other party is not polite, but he can maintain politeness and answer questions directly without being humble or arrogant.Tiangu Zhenli didn't expect Iwahashi Shinichi to respond like this, and felt that he was very graceful.

At this time, she had the opportunity to tell Iwahashi Shinichi the meaning behind the word "idol".

"Is that so?" Iwahashi Shinichi didn't quite understand this prejudice.

After all, he didn't grow up in such a cultural environment, and even if he went through the memories left by this body, he would never look for anything related to it.

Even if I go looking for it, I won't be prejudiced against idols because of this.

"Recently, Fuji TV made a show called "Twilight Meow Meow", and selected some female high school students who can't sing or dance well, and who don't understand anything to become idols. 'It's better to be an idol' to ridicule people."

Tiangu Zhenli also felt helpless when he talked about this incident, "... Obviously when I was a child, being an idol was still a very glorious ideal."

But when she grew up, she joined an underground band.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know what to say.

The air fell silent for a while.After a while, Tiangu Jinli asked him, "Isabashi-san, what are your plans in the future?"

"Intend?"

Iwahashi Shinichi digested this sentence and didn't quite understand what she meant.After a pause, he said, "Just go back to live your own life as usual... That's it. Besides, I just came here to help."

"That's right." Tiangu Zhenli nodded slightly and invited: "Although we can't work together anymore, if you have time, please come and watch our rehearsal and performance again. Of course, it's not social rhetoric, it's the truth. ."

"Okay." Iwahashi Shinichi agreed.Following her example, he said half-jokingly, "It's not social rhetoric, it's the truth."

Tiangu Zhenli made him laugh again.

She thought to herself that it was really relaxing and comfortable to be with this person.

Three days of rehearsal, together with tonight's performance, Iwahashi Shinichi received 1 yen from Mimi Club.Taking this money, even as a simple part-time job, is already a good salary.

Still, what surprised Shinichi Iwahashi was the payment for the band's performance.After this performance, the performance fee they actually received from the agent, the eight people received less than [-] yen in total.

In other words, the salary paid to Iwahashi Shinichi was entirely paid for by the people of Mimi CLUB.

The performance revenue of underground bands is divided into one-time appearance fee and box office share.

In this performance, the participating bands are paid for the appearance fee, and the price of Mimi CLUB is [-] yen.After deducting income tax and contacting Feng Dao, who worked, another [-]% will be taken. Finally, after deducting the bus rental money and fuel costs, what is in the hands of the band is only the pitiful remuneration.

It's completely subsidizing money to make music.

If you only live by performing in a band, you will have to live on grass.

For most underground bands, though, the opportunity to show up is more important than the pay for the show.

No matter what the purpose is, if you want to gain fame and move closer to the mainstream, after the fame and sales increase, you can participate in the box office share, and the income will also rise.

There are people who are willing to stick to the underground willingly, and there are people who want to make their music go mainstream and be heard by more people.No matter which choice you choose, people who make music seriously are worthy of respect.

After explaining the division with the band and sharing some things about the band manager, Mine Island was probably in a good mood, or perhaps out of tolerance for laymen, he said something that was particularly interesting in Iwahashi Shinichi.

He said, "In the underground world, I have met many excellent people. I, of course, are not as good as them, nor their talents. So I sell good people, and then I become a person who can't do without these good people."

Excellent sale.

Iwahashi was convinced by Mineshima's statement and his way of life.

The next day at nine o'clock in the morning, Shinichi Iwahashi went to "Losark", a chain pizza restaurant where he was working, to report on time.In addition to him, there is a female clerk named Yumiko who is on duty in the back kitchen today.

Yumiko, after taking off her sanitary cap and mask, reveals short red hair like a tomboy and a cold face like a tantrum cat. The relationship between the two is not very good.

Fortunately, there is no "must get along with your partner's colleagues" in the pizza shop's career manual.

The immutable work is also like a train that has a set trajectory and repeatedly runs on the track with the same rhythm.Such two people, even if they occasionally exchange sentences, are no different from honking their whistle.

Do the work you are used to, and naturally you can't go wrong.But while mechanically completing his own process, Iwahashi Shinichi's mind still reverberated with everything from last night.

The daily chains are interrupted by the enthusiasm and vitality of this world that I only enter because of freshness.The life that used to be taken for granted suddenly opened up.

He can no longer continue to live like this with peace of mind, even if it is the so-called "normal life".

All day, Iwahashi Shinichi was absent-minded.

He was tired of this lack of purpose in life, but he didn't know how to say goodbye to it.He felt that he had become unrealistic, and his mind was no longer just "life", but "ideal".

Ideals can be returned to ideals, ideals cannot cure hunger.If the pizza should be baked, the pizza should be baked, and the towel should be sent.The next day is Thursday, the busiest day of the week.

A tour group from Xiangjiang was brought into the store by the tour guide and stayed for a while.After this wave of customers left, the store seemed to be vacated for a while, and it was deserted.

A young lady named Mitsuko came over and asked Yanqiao to dance, and he declined, "I'm afraid I won't be able to dance today."

"Can't dance?" Mitsuko thought this statement was strange. "Can you dance with other people, but not with me?"

"That's not ... not in a good state today," he said.

Mitsuko disagreed, "Dancing doesn't need to be in a special state." The waitress in the store, occasionally at the waiter's place, would show a wonderful arrogance - say it's arrogance, maybe it should be said to be a different kind of kindness.

"Okay." Iwahashi Shinichi was a little helpless.

He didn't mean to reject Mitsuko.At the beginning of tonight's performance, he could hear that the keys of the piano were out of tune.Because the mind is absent, the more attention is paid to this point when the mind is distracted.The more he tried to ignore it, the more upset he felt about that discordant feeling.

This distraction also carried into the dance, making his performance extremely poor.

Finally, Mitsuko stopped abruptly, "Is it so annoying to dance with me? Iwahashi."
