Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 804
At the end of the year, Kenon's reception continued to send invitations to Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyu.

In the past, there was a friendship between Wanyumi Watanabe and Koko Nozaki. This year, Akina Nakamori and ORIGINAL LOVE will release a collaborative single soon. Shinichi Iwahashi also recommended Momoko Kikuchi to Kenne. The relationship between the two parties is at a good time.

Backed by a consortium, Yanyin has so much money that it has to organize all its employees to charter planes to travel overseas during the New Year holidays. The specifications of the reception are among the best in the industry.

With this gold and dollar offensive, the relationship between Yanyin and TV stations and magazines is getting better every year.It is estimated that when the bubble bursts and the industry lowers the hospitality standards, the effect of this large amount of money will probably be better.

Not long after Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi entered the arena, Mr. Nozaki came to them and greeted them cordially, "Iwahashi-san, Manyumi-senpai."

After the courtesies were over, Yanyin's manager brought the newcomer over to say hello, "This is Mr. Tang Zeshou."

The young man named Toshiaki Karasawa bowed and introduced himself as a newcomer in a proper manner.By the looks of it, he's a handsome guy.

Tonight's reception, people from the TV industry will be here, it is a chance for newcomers to show their faces.

After saying hello and saying a few polite words, the manager took Karasawa Shoumei to another place to continue visiting.After they left, Mr. Nozaki told the two of them as if to add, "Tang Ze was a stage actor in a small theater before."

Born in 1963, Toshiaki Karasawa is 26 years old this year. For an actor, he is at the best age and has acting experience.Mr. Nozaki personally signed the person, and he has high hopes for him.

"At this age, there are almost no restrictions on anything other than being a teenager. It's just right." Kenichiro Nozaki didn't mind sharing his signing experience in front of Wanyumi Watanabe and Shinichi Iwahashi.

Of course, these are the most obvious and well-known truths in the industry.If you really want to say it, it belongs to an alternative cliché used when expressing intimacy among colleagues.

Yanyin wants to shift its focus to the actor career, on the one hand, it needs to train newcomers, and on the other hand, it also needs immediate combat power.Actors like Toshiaki Karasawa who have a foundation of acting skills are capable of fighting immediately, as are actors with a foundation of popularity like Kikuchi Momoko.

From this point of view...

"Iwahashi-san, I owe you a favor again." Kenichiro Nozaki repeated the old saying.This time, Kikuchi Momoko was accepted, and when she was arranged to participate in a TV series, Karasawa Toshiaki, an unknown newcomer, was inserted into it.

In other words, Mr. Nozaki will repeat the old story, which means that Kikuchi Momoko's immigration and current work arrangements are going smoothly.

Yanqiao Shinichi smiled politely.

"Afterwards, Akina-san's collaborative single will also be released." Kenichiro Nozaki also smiled, "It would be great for this side to be able to cooperate happily with Iwahashi-san and Wan Yumi-senpai."

For Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Wanyumi, it is also a good thing to maintain cooperation with Kenyin.However, cooperation and cooperation are not the same thing.Mayumi Watanabe was thinking about what Shinichi Iwahashi might have, and her attitude was reserved.

Speaking of that collaboration single, Iwahashi Shinichi mentioned something else.

"During the production of that single, I saw Akina-san's talent. Akina-san also had many ideas worth trying. However, due to the integrity of the project, many of Akina-san's ideas could not be used."

During the production of the single, the producer and the singer being produced quarreled in the recording studio from time to time. Akina Nakamori's manager followed him all day long and bowed and apologized.Kenichiro Nozaki had also heard about these things.

Now, when Shinichi Iwahashi said this, Kenichiro Nozaki thought he was speaking politely, but after listening to it, it was obvious that he was sincere.

"If there is a chance, I really want to cooperate with Ming Cai-san again."

Shinichi Iwahashi and Koko Nozaki suggested, "Make an album based on the song "Kiss" and all according to Akina-san's ideas."

"Want to make another album?"

Listen to the sound.It is obvious that Yanqiao Shinichi is sincere when he can say this.The more this was the case, Kenichiro Nozaki couldn't say much.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi, a producer, has a lot of achievements and is attracting attention at the moment. There are a lot of singers who want to cooperate with him.If you really want to cooperate with him again, it may not be a good thing.

If you really want to cooperate, there are too many involved.

The office, the record company, and Akina Nakamori all had to nod to make the trip.Most importantly, it depends on the performance and response of this collaboration single.Or it should be said that Kenichiro Nozaki will really seriously consider this proposal only if the performance and word-of-mouth of this collaboration single pass the test.

Therefore, now he just listens, knowing that Yanqiao Shinichi has this plan.Of course, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't intend to ask for an answer here.The two sides have a tacit understanding, and the point is over.

Mayumi Watanabe listened, thoughtful.

……

Kenichiro Nozaki chatted with the two of them for a while, said goodbye and walked away, and went on to continue the new entertainment.Wanyumi Watanabe asked Shinichi Iwahashi, "Are you still planning to continue working with Akina-san?"

"If the performance and response of the collaborative single released next week is good enough, maybe we can collaborate again." Shinichi Iwahashi said honestly.

It wasn't his whim.As early as when he was arguing with Nakamori Akina in the recording studio, Iwahashi Shinichi vaguely had such an idea in his heart.It is not impossible to make a version of Nakamori Akina's original hope for this collaboration song, which is produced and released based on his ideas, re-sung once after ORIGINAL LOVE.

However, a bare single, no front and no back, according to her singing style that pays attention to the atmosphere, may not be able to produce results.But if it is a song in an album, it may be able to fully reflect the atmosphere she imagined.

It may not be a regular album with ten songs, maybe it can be a mini-album.Just follow Akina Nakamori's idea, she can put in whatever she wants to experiment with, and Shinichi Iwahashi will name it as a producer, and play support beside her.

With his name, even if the response is not good, the public will at most say that the cooperation has failed and the two of them have no spark.If it succeeds, it will be sparks of cooperation between the two.Anyway, there is no problem.

But the premise is that the single "Kiss" can sell well, so that Yanyin and Warner can be interested in this proposal.And there is a big-selling single as the foundation, and the attention of the album is also guaranteed.

However, for this sake, Iwahashi Shin is confident in the sales of this single.

He revealed that he wanted to cooperate with Akina Nakamori again, Wanyumi Watanabe listened, and his mind turned.However, compared to whether Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to cooperate with Nakamori Akina and how he planned to cooperate, the first thing she thought of was that he did not regard Kenyin as the next partner to seek cooperation.

Presumably it should be so.Kenyin is a person worthy of friendship, a person who can cooperate, but not a person who can cooperate in the way of sending a cash cow's broker to make an appointment.

Although the relationship is intricate, Watanabe Wanyumi believes that Iwahashi Shinichi will not make a mistake.

From this point of view, the two coincided once again.

Thinking of this, Wanyumi Watanabe changed the topic, "Original Love's new album is almost ready. After the single is released, taking advantage of the popularity, the band's new album will be released immediately."

Of course, in the new album, "Kiss", which is only sung by the band alone, will be included.

After this cooperation, the popularity of the band has definitely increased greatly.Then came a good time for a new album—with that "Kiss" ahead of it, there wasn't even a need for an extra single.

However, ORIGINAL LOVE has nothing to do with Iwahashi Shinichi, whether it is the production rights or the record contract.Now Watanabe Wanyumi said, he just listened, and didn't ask a word.

……

At the reception tonight, not only the newcomers promoted by Yanyin will be present, but also famous artists in the office will also come to show their faces one after another.

Newcomers will be led around by their managers to bow, and famous celebrities and entertainers should take it easy.

Just changed to a new agency, and decided to transform into an actor. Tonight, Kikuchi Momoko, accompanied by the manager of the agency, greeted the TV station's contacts.

This occasion is to convey the fact that "Momoko Kikuchi is an actress of Kenon" to those who are related.

As soon as she changed to a new office, Kikuchi Momoko was cast as an important role in TBS TV's spring series, thanks to Kenyin's top and bottom management.Of course, she is well-known and popular. After she gave up singing, her original firm didn't do anything about her job-hopping.In this way, it is logical to talk about work.

In this TV series, in addition to her, two newcomers from Yanyin also played small roles in it.

Recently, Momoko Kikuchi is studying acting. In order to maintain her exposure, she also appeared in several magazines, in which she introduced her experience in learning cooking recently. Her life is quite peaceful and comfortable.

There is only one thing, Iwasaki Jiayunmi, who once encouraged her to be independent but failed to get her wish, was deeply disappointed by her betrayal.Kikuchi Momoko thanked Iwasaki Kayunmi for her care, but this is not the same as being independent with her.In particular, Iwasaki Kayunmi's way of independence was to use Kikuchi Momoko, which made it impossible for Kikuchi Momoko to follow her after she knew about it.

To be honest, everything went wrong.Because I was recommended by that Iwahashi-san to shoot a commercial for Fujifilm, I slowly came to hesitation, and then consulted with him, so that at this step, I became an actress of Kenyin.

Kikuchi Momoko scanned the venue subconsciously, and when she saw a tall and straight figure, her heart skipped a beat.Actually, she didn't expect to see Shinichi Iwahashi here.

But he was the one who introduced himself to Yanyin. From this point of view, it is not surprising that he appears here.

……

"Good evening, Iwahashi-san!" Kikuchi Momoko said generously.

Yanqiao Shinichi told her to look with soft eyes, nodded at her, and returned the courtesy, "Hello, Kikuchi-san."

"You're here today too." Kikuchi Momoko laughed, her eyes were crooked, she even looked like a girl.

When Yanqiao Shen asked her to take it with him, he also smiled.Without answering, he asked her instead, "How is Kikuchi-san doing?"

"There is a new TV series to be filmed soon, and I will play a fashionable urban woman in it." Kikuchi Momoko pursed her lower lip, as if she just got a new hairstyle and was waiting to be praised as "very suitable".

However, this look flashed across his face.Kikuchi Momoko continued, "Then my kaiseki learning progress..."

When she mentioned this, Iwahashi Shinichi was also a little curious.Before, Kikuchi Momoko had a lot of phone calls with him about the contract. At that time, she talked about learning kaiseki cuisine.

"Still studying hard." Juchi Momoko made a fool of herself, and laughed at herself first when she said such an answer that seemed to be teasing.

She told Iwahashi Shinichi, "To understand the flavor of kaiseki cuisine, you still have to try it yourself. Therefore, I have been trying to make reservations for famous cooking kiosks and hot spring hotels. My tongue is the most trustworthy."

"It sounds strange and leisurely." Yanqiao Shinichi said.

Kikuchi Momoko replied "Yes", and smiled, "Compared to the idol era, I have a lot of leisure time. But soon the TV series will start filming, and I will be busy..."

She said with a pause, "Is Yanqiao-san interested in kaiseki cuisine?"

"Me?" Shinichi Iwahashi thought for a while, "Kaiseki cuisine looks gorgeous."

However, apart from the fact that it is necessary to choose a cooking kiosk when entertaining guests, he himself has no interest in eating.However, it is not good to say this in front of someone who is working hard to learn kaiseki.

Kikuchi Momoko was considerate and said what he hadn't said, "But I'm not very interested in eating it. Right?"

Yanqiao Shinichi was exposed, so he replied frankly, "Indeed."

"Then, does Iwahashi-san have any favorite dishes?" Momoko Kikuchi asked.

Yanqiao Shinichi was a little bit caught by the question, "Well, it's better to be ordinary, not flashy." His words may not be perfunctory, but Kikuchi Momoko listened carefully.

After listening, he smiled, "Being pragmatic is very similar to Yanqiao-san's style of doing things."

"Can this be put together?" Yanqiao Shinichi found it interesting.

Kikuchi Momoko didn't answer yes or no, "Just now I was thinking that if Iwahashi-san is interested in kaiseki cuisine, I will talk to you later and recommend a good restaurant I have been to."

"yes……"

"But," she said generously, "I know a lot about restaurants that are less fancy but delicious."

Yanqiao Shinichi felt a little sorry for being too straightforward just now. Hearing what she said, he followed her words and replied: "If it's that kind of restaurant, I welcome Kikuchi-san to recommend some."

"Although I am a little boastful, I am still very confident in the taste of the restaurant." Momoko Kikuchi was in high spirits.

The two stopped here and chatted for a while.

Yanqiao Shinichi calculated that the time was almost up, thinking of saying goodbye, Kikuchi Momoko also had people who wanted to go with the manager to say hello, so they greeted each other, Kikuchi Momoko followed the manager to the side.

Just as Shinichi Iwahashi was about to leave, he saw Akina Nakamori's manager Daben coming up to him, "Iwahashi-san, Jiushu greetings."

He returned the salute to Big Ben, "Big Ben Sang."

With a glance, he saw Akina Nakamori standing near Omoto.Just about to say hello, Nakamori Akina greeted him first, "Good evening, Iwahashi-san."

"Ming Cai-san." Yan Qiao Shen nodded at her.

The two masters of pretending to be garlic, and at Yanyin's reception venue, they competed in pretending to be garlic.
