Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 803 803. Weighing the pros and cons
Wanyumi Watanabe actually didn't have the strong will to follow the advice given by her mother to get close to the established forces.This is why she is willing to bypass this issue for the time being.

But on the other hand, this matter is also related to which side the cooperation between her and Iwahashi Shinichi will go next.

Because of this, she chose not to talk about it.Until now, the album of THE BLUE HEARTS is on sale, and the future of the band is already clear.This question is unavoidable and must be decided.

Before talking about this issue with Iwahashi Shinichi, Watanabe Wanyumi first communicated with her mother Watanabe Misa.In a sense, the order of the discussions had already revealed the answer in her heart.

Yanqiao Shinichi's actions this year have caught the attention of half the industry.In Watanabe's house, Yoshida Masaki, who has always admired him, is now more confident in him.Yoshida Miki was speechless, it was one thing not to like Iwahashi Shinichi, but facing such a character, he had to admit his talent.

Only Misa Watanabe was expected of Shinichi Iwahashi to make such an achievement.But she didn't feel any regret about what she said to Yanqiao Shen. On the contrary, the more capable and ambitious he was, the more correct her decision was.

Not only that, Misa Watanabe has no ill feeling towards Shinichi Iwahashi himself, no matter in the past or now.Really want to say, there is an appreciation.It's just that everything depends on the long-term, so we have to take that step.

Even now, Misa Watanabe is calm after listening to Shinichi Iwahashi's plan relayed by Wanyumi Watanabe.There is no need to explain too much about many things, but after listening to it, Iwahashi Shinichi's ambitions and ambitions are spread out in front of their mother and daughter.

And displayed in front of Misa Watanabe, there is also the plan of her daughter Wan Yumi.

"Have you thought about going with Iwahashi?" Watanabe Misa asked.

Watanabe Wanyumi was noncommittal, "Iwabashi's plan is not impossible."

On the contrary, it is a road that, as long as it is passed through, it will be a broad road.

Misa Watanabe looked at her daughter's attitude and said, "It's just too ambitious. It's an ambition that succeeds in one step and fails in one step." It's another matter to really go well.If one does not walk well, it will die halfway.

At that time, Mayumi Watanabe still has a way out, and Shinichi Iwahashi may not be able to bear it.

"So far, I have done so many things, but I succeeded in one step and failed in one step." Wanyumi Watanabe replied.

Misa Watanabe didn't understand why, "But you trust Iwahashi..."

"Trust him." She answered without thinking—or perhaps it should be said that she had already thought about it.

Misa Watanabe seemed to expect such an answer from her daughter.Wanyumi Watanabe made up her mind, "Iwahashi is right, the old forces are complicated. Even with the help of your mother, you may not be able to integrate resources into your own hands."

"I don't fit in with the environment where seniority is ranked more than ability." Wanyumi Watanabe paused, "Instead of looking back, we should look forward. If we didn't look forward, we wouldn't be here."

If you don't use Yanqiao Shinichi out of the ordinary, and don't cooperate with him, then everything will be out of the question.

Watanabe Wanyumi made up her mind, and Watanabe Misa did not intend to forcefully interfere.

Yanqiao Shinichi is a person who doesn't act according to reason, and can't stand that fate can't be held in his own hands.It's just that when Misa Watanabe made this suggestion to her daughter, she didn't expect that Shinichi Iwahashi had such great ambitions.

Similarly, based on Misa Watanabe's understanding of her daughter, when Shinichi Iwahashi proposed this plan, she would be swayed by the suggestion she gave, and would be willing to take this more difficult road to cooperate with him. This is also a kind of "expected" middle".

Shinichi Iwahashi is ambitious, and Manyumi Watanabe is equally ambitious.Such two people coincidentally agree in many ideas, and they just put their energy into one place.

"I am different from Iwahashi." Wanyumi Watanabe told his mother sincerely, "I have a way out, but Iwahashi doesn't."

"Those who have no way out..."

"And I believe in people who have no way out." Mayumi Watanabe smiled, as if joking with her mother, "If I encounter difficulties, I will stand with Iwahashi."

She said "stand with Yanqiao", not that she can retreat if she has a way out, which shows her determination.

After hearing this, Watanabe Misa had nothing to say.

……

After talking to my mother, the matter is almost a foregone conclusion.

Wanyumi Watanabe knew in her heart that the road proposed by Shinichi Iwahashi would be very difficult.But compared to staying in a place surrounded by established forces, it is more energetic to face the future and challenge.

Everything should still look forward.

When film companies dominated the industry, they never imagined that Japanese films would decline to this point. In the 70s, it was unexpected that CDs have become mainstream now.When idols are in full swing, they never expect to be replaced by bands.

Things are constantly being refurbished, which means that there is a chance to get good cards and share the cake.

Wanyumi Watanabe weighed the pros and cons, and was willing to take a gamble and take this road that seems more difficult and more whimsical.Stand with Iwahashi Shinichi and continue to cooperate with him.impractical or not.

She made up her mind, but stood still, intending to wait for Yanqiao Shen to repeat the old story again and again. As soon as the results of this album of THE BLUE HEARTS come out, no matter who the management contract is handed over to, it is a signal of cooperation.

In this way, not only should they be cautious when letting out the brokerage appointment, but the receiving firm will also carefully weigh it.

Don't get involved with the intricate old forces, but also avoid Zhou Fangyuxiong's BURNING system. At the same time, you must have a certain amount of power. Even if you sift three times, there are not many left in the net.

Wanyumi Watanabe has a bottom line in her heart, but she is not sure about Shinichi Iwahashi's plan.At first, she guessed in her heart that Yanqiao Shinichi might want to have a good relationship with Kenyin.But after thinking about it, it didn't seem like something he would do.

At present, if it is to seek cooperation, there seems to be no reason to hand over this good card to Yanyin.Watanabe Manyumi didn't regard Kenon as the object of pursuit in this matter, and at the same time, she didn't think that Kenon would take this card.

But she made up her mind that if Yanqiao Shen didn't mention it, she would stand still.

……

When everything is not yet in place, the sales of THE BLUE HEARTS' album are still stable in the second week, and the word-of-mouth of the album is still stable.According to this situation, long-term sales are not a problem.

The brokerage appointment was not released, and the notices inviting the band to participate in the music program were sent to the record company first, and temporarily left to the record company team to decide.

For the band THE BLUE HEARTS, the typhoon during live performances is quite amazing.

The debut of the TV show for the first time. During the performance, he sang the title song "TRAIN-TRAIN" of the same name in the album.When the lead singer Hiroto Komoto sang on the stage, it was as if he was convulsing and stepping on a switch. He frantically stuck out his tongue, shook his head and rolled his eyes. The audience who knew the band through the documentary program before were shocked and called the TV station to ask—

"Is the lead singer out of his mind?"

Otherwise, it was an illness while singing, or it was purely deliberate mischief.

However, even looking at the chaotic singing, this song is unexpectedly good.Many viewers who watched TV even wanted to listen to the original song and planned to buy a copy.

However, this messy typhoon was unexpectedly popular with men and young people.To be honest, this messy appearance is similar to that of Japanese office workers who get drunk and mess around with alcohol.

As for young people, there are countless people who will be attracted by this kind of defiant behavior.

Of course, there are also old-school viewers who change channels when the lead singer is convulsed.However, the next time, I saw this band again on another music program. This time, the band sang a song called "Blue Sky".

Instead of sticking out his tongue, shaking his head and rolling his eyes, he just stood in the middle of the stage and sang seriously like a child.And the song he sang earnestly is so touching and beautiful.

Personality singers and bands who didn't appear on TV very much in the past, once they became regulars on TV, they often brought performances that confuse ordinary audiences.

Like sabotage on stage, sabotage in the studio, sabotage on yourself or your teammates...

Mess.Japanese audiences are well-informed.

……

When the album of THE BLUE HEARTS continued to sell well in the second week, the collaboration single of Nahoko Kawai and Hideki Nishijo was also put on the shelves of record stores.

From Fuji Ayako and BOLAN's first single to now, one after another.After this one, there is the ending single, "Kiss" by Nakamori Akina and ORIGINAL LOVE.

Afterwards, the projected single was released from beginning to end.But that's not the end.When making a project, what is prepared is a "project album". After the single is released, there is still an album waiting there.

This kind of project that connects half of the industry is a big headache in terms of profit distribution.A large part of the reason why the preliminary preparations are so troublesome is how to come up with a plan that satisfies all parties.

When negotiating at the beginning, what Iwahashi Shinichi proposed was that his record company wanted the distribution rights of this album.

Release every song in an album as a single, and the public has already bought the song they like.In this way, it seems obvious that it will affect the sales of the album.

But the word-of-mouth of the single is excellent, and every song is a masterpiece, and there are probably quite a few people who want to buy an album and listen to it from the beginning to the end.Of course, Shinichi Iwahashi will not do nothing and let the album sell as many copies as possible.On the contrary, he had other ideas.

The week of the release of this single by Kawai Nahoko and Saijo Hideki happened to be the day when this year's charts ended.Starting from this week, it will be the new year's list.

The planned singles have been released up to now, and they won the championship as soon as they debuted. Some of them only ranked in the top five in their debut, but their sales were stable after that. Regardless of the trend, every single has entered the top [-] of the annual chart. .

And how much can Kawai Nahoko and Saijo Hideki, the former brother-sister combination, sell, and will it be the one with the lowest sales...

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care, and it's unknown whether Saijo Hideki, a senior who only met once or twice during the recording, would care, but Kawai Nahoko was really worried.

The reason why I know this is because the week the single was released was also the day Nahoko Kawai delivered the manuscript.

When entrusting outsiders to provide lyrics and music, when delivering the manuscript, of course, it was not the case that Kawai Nahoko came to see Iwahashi Shinichi with a song demo, or agreed to meet in the recording studio.

Kawai Nahoko's manager sent the song to the record company, and she herself called Iwahashi Shinichi to inform him afterwards.Ordinarily, this step is not necessary, just send the song over, and just wait for Yanqiao Shinichi to contact her office.

However, Nahoko Kawai was grateful for Shinichi Iwahashi's approval, and let him know as a courtesy.

When Yanqiao Shenyi received the call, the demo of the song hadn't been delivered to him yet.After listening to Nahoko Kawai, thank her first, "I will listen carefully."

The two of them had a few polite words on the phone. The single was released this week, so it was inevitable to mention it.

Nahoko Kawai told Shinichi Iwahashi about the fact that she went to the record store quietly, "...the position of the single is very conspicuous, and there seem to be more people who bought it than expected."

It doesn't look like an older senior to do such a thing.However, I went to see it specially, and even told this incident to Iwahashi Shinichi as a joke, but I could see a corner of Kawai Nahoko's personality.

Yanqiao Shinichi listened and expressed curiosity, "Did Kawai-san buy one?"

Nahoko Kawai smiled on the phone, "Let's keep it a secret."

Yanqiao Shinichi accepted this little joke.The two chatted for a few more words. Before hanging up the phone, Iwahashi Shinichi said that if the song she provided was used, then she might need to go to the recording studio in person to meet and chat with Yoko Minano.

In this regard, Nahoko Kawai readily agreed.

……

Entering December, the atmosphere at the end of the year is even stronger.

Last year, affected by the self-sufficiency order of the locust disease, the shopping street was not very popular, and all the companies were very restrained. This year, with the drive to make up for last year's share, all kinds of luxurious entertainment, I have what I want.

The society is full of luxury, the stock market and the real estate market are constantly optimistic. Every day, new rich people drive new sports cars to show off their power. In the nightclubs of Roppongi, you can see the spectacle of spending a lot of money every night.

At the end of the year, Yanqiao Shinichi spends more time on socializing, and has more opportunities to see these wonders.He is also a producer, an operator of a record company, and occasionally plays a guest role as a band mascot. Regardless of his identity, he is busy at the end of the year, and his schedule is full every day.

He didn't have a chance to appreciate it when he was the mascot of the band, but the other two identities allowed him not only to personally enjoy the big bucks treatment given by the host, but also to entertain others with such treatment.

At the end of the year, GENZO's hospitality expenses doubled directly.

This kind of thing is also clear after thinking about it. Once the hospitality standards of other firms and companies are raised, his record company's hospitality standards will also be raised accordingly.Otherwise, you will offend people for your slow treatment.

After all, in such an era, we always have to participate in different ways, and it is impossible to stay out of it.
