Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 819 819. Unexpected
This year's Red and White Song Concert, among the singers in the red group, only the two Zeng Yi from DREAMS COME TRUE were mixed in the female singer team.

Yanqiao Shenyi was bored while waiting for the rehearsal, so he set a small goal in his heart, next year's Red and White Song Concert, send ZARD to the list, and ask ZARD male musicians to accompany him and Nakamura brother.

He even thought about forming a band with a male vocalist and female musicians, or making a co-ed group.

Last year, DREAMS COME TRUE, a newly popular band that didn't know if it was a one-shot house, was assigned to share a lounge with other singers.

This year, the band is very popular, which is recognized by the TV industry as a guarantee of ratings. NHK has also made more thoughtful arrangements and prepared a separate lounge for the band.Not only that, but he also said kindly that in this way, KIRIN-kun of the band can also have a good rest.

In terms of adapting to the wind, the staff of NHK TV station is naturally first-class.

This year's red and white song meeting, the host of the red group is the famous actor Mita Yoshiko.This is the former Toei Film Company's signature. As a film actor, he won awards and was soft-handed. He also starred in NHK's Dahe drama.By the way, this husband is a producer of NHK.No matter which angle you look at, it has a close relationship with NHK.

The host of the white group is Takeda Tetsuya, the teacher of the three-year B group.

Takeda Tetsuya was originally the lead singer of the folk song group Haiyuan Team. This group became famous with a song "Mother に振げるバラード" (a song dedicated to mother), and was also invited to participate in the red and white song meeting.

However, the group as a whole did not sell well. Takeda Tetsuya himself really became famous. It was not until 1979 that he played the role of "Sakamoto Jinpachi-sensei" in the TV series "Kinpachi-sensei of Group B for Three Years".

After the TV series was broadcast, it was well received, and after that, many sequels and special programs were produced. "Mr. Jinpachi" became a household name in Japan and became synonymous with a good teacher.The theme song of the TV series, "Giving る言葉" (Giving Words) sung by the Haiyuan team also sold nearly one million copies, and Takeda Tetsuya's career as a singer and actor reached the peak at the same time.

Speaking of which, school dramas like "Teacher Jin Ba of Group B for Three Years" have always been a big stage for various firms to promote newcomers.After all, school dramas require a large number of student actors, and because the main character of the TV drama is a teacher, the rhythm is also played by the actor who plays the teacher, so even if it is a newcomer who has no acting experience, there is no problem in putting it in.

Participating in the performance can make you look good, as long as you can show a little sparkle, you may gain attention, which is an excellent way to promote newcomers.Of course, in order to be able to squeeze newcomers in, the firm needs to go to various places to manage.

Established firms often have a good relationship with the TV station, and such opportunities have always been given priority, which makes resources tilt to their side.If a firm that has no relationship in the industry wants to get the priority number on the TV station, it must either have a strong means or a strong Jin Yuan offensive.

……

The music world is changing very fast, every year there is a singer who becomes a hit, and every year there is a singer who is a hit at the Red and White Song Festival.

When DREAMS COME TRUE came last year, it was also an instant hit singer.I will participate again this year. Last year, they were the same debut singers, and more than half of them lost the selection.The male fighting group that played against the band last year lost the Red and White Song Contest this year.Their places to play were replaced by the new combination Heikepai that Johnny strongly promoted this year.

Last year's Red and White Song Concert, because of a Polaroid camera beside Nansha Ribbon, during the rehearsal, Yanqiao Shinichi, a giraffe man, became the mascot of the backstage, and was pulled by various female singers in turn to take pictures. .

This year, Nan Saori, who made a limited comeback, continued to go home to teach her husband and son, and there was no second camera in the background. In this way, during the rehearsal, Shinichi Iwahashi was able to get rid of the shadow of being surrounded by layers, and waited quietly. process.

Of course, from another point of view, the reason why the giraffe man has not continued to be regarded as the mascot of the scenic spot also has a lot to do with the band's popularity and stability in the top line this year.A band that may only be popular once and a band that can create records, not only the staff of the TV station care about this difference, but also the singers on the same stage.

Backstage this year, the only female celebrity who will hold him back is Meihejiang.

After Christmas Eve, for a while, neither of them mentioned that matter again, and of course, they didn't tell Brother Nakamura for the time being.

It is impossible for Miwa-chan to talk about this with Nakamura-san, but Shinichi Iwahashi thinks about it, and will formally discuss this matter when the band's work is restarted in the next year.

However, he called Wanyumi Watanabe and told her that Meihechan almost gave him a big expulsion package.Of course, it also includes the fact that he told Mihe-chan about the plan he had thought up.

In the words of Mayumi Watanabe, the timing of this showdown was brilliant.

Yanqiao Shenyi's delay in talking about this matter has something to do with not being able to find the right time.However, if he alone is acting, then no matter where he finds the timing, it is still not suitable enough.

After all, in this matter, no matter how detoured, it is impossible to bypass Meihejiang.

Miwa-chan attaches great importance to the bond with Iwahashi Shinichi, that's why Iwahashi Shinichi wears a giraffe headgear for two purposes, and he tries to find the right time.But it was precisely because Miwa-chan valued the bond with him that this "wonderful opportunity" was sent to Iwahashi Shinichi.

The reason why the perfect timing can appear is that both parties have each other's consideration.

After that Christmas Eve, Meihejiang still laughed and laughed with him, still in the attitude of that mouse carrying a gun, as if the expulsion of the big gift bag and the restriction of the giraffe male outdoor tour had never been mentioned.But when Yanqiao Shinichi was dragged around by her, she could feel that in some places, she was also relieved.

With a solution to the dilemma, the burden on Meihejiang's heart became lighter.Although he was in the nest all day long, he wasn't really unreasonable after all.On the contrary, she is sensitive inside and cares about this matter more than anyone else.

After talking with Mihe-chan, on the last day of the year, when participating in the band's last group activity of the year, Iwahashi Shinichi was busy, but he still felt light.

……

In the morning, I rehearsed with the band in the NHK hall with make-up. In the evening, Shinichi Iwahashi appeared alone at the Budokan, waiting to go on stage to receive his record award project award.

The previous FNS song festival was held at the Budokan, and now I come here to receive the awards, even if they are different awards sponsored by different TV stations, there is an inexplicable feeling of "one time and two times familiarity".

This year, the appearance order of DREAMS COME TRUE Red and White Song Festival is arranged in the second half. Although the time is tight, running between the NHK hall and Budokan will not be in a hurry.

As for the awarding sequence of the grand prize, the timing of the planning award is about in the middle, and there is a long period of time between the awarding of the gold award that requires DREAMS COME TRUE to appear later, enough for Shinichi Iwahashi to leave the Budokan after receiving the planning award, and then Rendezvous with DREAMS COME TRUE who came to receive the prize.

Anyway, that night, the singers who came to the Budokan were almost all in a hurry.Either to participate in the Red and White Song Festival, or there is a New Year's Eve program.People in the entire venue came in and out, and it was not conspicuous who came and who went.

Taking the award as a producer, Shinichi Iwahashi was not too formal today, so as not to appear on stage like a record company employee who came to accept the award for his singer.The suit he chose was quite casual, and Akina Nakamori bought the shirt for him.

It's not that I bought him a new shirt just to receive the award this time.It's just that, after eating bowl after bowl of soft and fragrant rice, it's only natural that something from Akina Nakamori appears on her body.

This Akina Nakamori not only likes to dress up herself, but also likes to dress up Shinichi Iwahashi.Not only that, since she went to see the final tour of DREAMS COME TRUE and realized that her fashion aesthetic is actually a "disaster" from another point of view, she also carefully studied how to choose the president Sang The matter of clothes.

Yanqiao Shen saw her going all out from time to time.

Even so, she didn't feel the pressure from her recklessness.On the contrary, when he thought of being loved by her so much, his heart was warm, and he was also full of tenderness towards her.

The more we get along, the deeper the feelings for her, and the more I feel that I need her by my side.

Backstage at the Red and White Song Concert this year, when I was a giraffe man, I was unexpectedly quiet—although this kind of quietness may actually be normal, being surrounded by groups like last year is a special case.

At this moment, he entered the Budokan as the producer of Shinichi Iwahashi, but unexpectedly became the focus of attention in the venue, and from time to time, someone would take the initiative to talk to him.However, considering his big money this year, it will be regarded as the focus of attention, which is quite normal.

While dealing with people who took the initiative to talk to him, he also took the initiative to talk to people he met.The business cards were collected one after another, and my own business cards were also scattered in the business card holder.

"Yanqiao-san?"

Yanqiao Shenyi was stopped by someone from behind, turned around, and saw a face that was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it at the moment, a hard-working middle-aged office worker's face.

"Hello." Yanqiao Shenyi nodded slightly to the person who came.

"Sure enough, it's Iwahashi-san." A polite smile appeared on the face of this diligent office worker, and he paused, "My surname is Mizoguchi. We met at Yukiko's retirement concert..."

While introducing himself, he handed over his business card.

"Mizoguchi-san." Yanqiao Shinichi remembered.

The big manager of SUNMUSIC is also the manager of Yukiko Okada.Before Yukiko Okada retired, when she called Shinichi Iwahashi, she mentioned Noburo Mizoguchi's care on the phone from time to time. When she was about to retire, she often expressed her apology to Noburo Mizoguchi in her words. .

Because there is Okada Yukiko in the middle, although Shinichi Iwahashi and Mizoguchi Noburo only met each other at Okada Yukiko's retirement concert, and now it is the official first meeting, they are surprisingly familiar with each other.

This is not only the credit of Okada Yukiko, but also related to Mizoguchi Shinro's outstanding ability to communicate with others.This manager not only takes good care of the artists under him, but also has strong working ability. He is also a big manager with a certain reputation in the industry.

"I haven't congratulated Yanqiao-san yet..."

The Grand Prize hadn't started yet, but everyone present knew the awards that had already been decided.Especially the planning award of Shinichi Iwahashi.

Since he successfully led the project, he has received half of this award.Afterwards, the project was full of topics, and the sales of the released singles were outstanding. No one except him could win this project award.

Noburo Mizoguchi really admires Shinichi Iwahashi's outstanding ability, although he doesn't appreciate some of Shinichi Iwahashi's techniques.Especially as a staunch guardian of orthodox idols, this producer who started the route of making idols funny is not the same as him.

Of course, the orthodox idols began to decline before the appearance of Iwahashi Shinichi. Iwahashi Shinichi's ingenuity also opened a new way for the idols who are not good enough... Noburo Mizoguchi knows this.

Likewise, Noburo Mizoguchi is well aware that orthodox idols have almost nowhere to go.

After Okada Yukiko retired, the orthodox idol Noriko Sakai who he cultivated wholeheartedly, won many rookie awards when he debuted and gained a firm foothold among the idols of the same period, but his popularity and sales were not top-notch.

It is not only the orthodox idols who have nowhere to go, but rather, all idols are walking a narrower and narrower road.However, Noburo Mizoguchi sometimes thinks that Noriko Sakai can't go to the next level, and it has something to do with herself.

Noriko Sakai had a bumpy life experience. When she was on stage as an idol, she was pure, lovely and innocent, but in fact, her personality is not so sunny in private, and she doesn't like to talk to people.

This is different from the innocence of Okada Yukiko.Of course, Noriko Sakai did not grow up in an environment full of love like Yukiko Okada.It would be better to say that I have never been cared for.

After winning the Newcomer Award, the media dug up her background.His father was an extremist expelled from the organization, abandoned by his biological mother, and abused by his first stepmother...all of these were revealed to the world.

Of course, SUNMUSIC knew her background as early as when they signed the contract with her.Even so, he still had to sign her, naturally because he had prepared countermeasures.

The countermeasure is her innocent image on stage.

Pure flowers bloomed in the mud pit.As long as Noriko Sakai's image on the stage can stand up, then her background is not a deduction for her, but can be a plus for her in turn.

Noburo Mizoguchi approved of this sales strategy, but, as the person who stood closest to Noriko Sakai, he also clearly saw Noriko Sakai's somewhat gloomy real personality in private.

Although she has the determination to be a good idol, but after all, she does not have the outstanding stage performance ability of Matsuda Seiko, and she can play the image on the stage seamlessly.Second, unlike Yukiko Okada, as long as the whole person stands there, he will naturally exude a cheerful aura.

This also means that Noriko Sakai, as an orthodox idol, may only be able to reach this level.

Noburo Mizoguchi realized this, and he was infinitely entangled in his heart.Meeting Shinichi Iwahashi today, the producer of an anti-orthodox idol, reminded him of this thorn in his heart that he couldn't let go.
