Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 831
Miwa-chan let go, and Nakamura-san nodded.

As for the change of band members, as a band member, as long as you nod your head in agreement, the people in black will handle the rest.

Whether it's "differences in ideas" or "fire and leave", or "retreating behind the scenes" or changing people, the previous seniors have also left a lot of experience that can be used as a reference.

What's more, this time is not only a peaceful change, but at the same time, it is not a complete withdrawal. It is not difficult to deal with it.

On the office side, Watanabe Wanyumi fully supported it.On Sony's side, since he knew the identity of the giraffe man well, he wouldn't be unclear about how much trouble he would cause if he failed to handle the relationship between the giraffe man and the band.

DREAMS COME TRUE is already popular, and it is clear that the president is popular. It is better to come up with a good idea to solve it now than continue to turn a blind eye and procrastinate until the conflict is brought to the table. many.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows the great value of DREAMS COME TRUE, and the potential that is far from being fully tapped. As long as Sony holds the band in its hands, it will be a big cash cow.There is a thunderstorm under the cash cow tree, so the sooner it is dealt with, the better.

On the other hand, choosing to side with Iwahashi Shinichi in this matter is also showing his goodwill to Iwahashi Shinichi.

As a record company operator, he is in competition with Sony—although his size is the difference between a mouse and an elephant.

However, the mouse can get into the elephant's trunk, and the elephant can suffer a little bit.In the same way, even mice and elephants sometimes cooperate with each other and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

What's more, GENZO has a bright future, and Shinichi Iwahashi's influence as a producer is already too strong to be underestimated in the industry. If he sells his personal favor, he will be able to cooperate in other areas in the future.

As long as the record of DREAMS COME TRUE is in Sony, Iwahashi Shinichi and Sony will not be against each other.

Now that it has been decided that the band's giraffe man will be half behind the scenes, internally, he has to draft relevant supplementary contracts, redistribute the remuneration share of the theme tour, and all kinds of things have to be done.

The majority of Iwahashi Shinichi's income from DREAMS COME TRUE is the producer's share. Even if he is half-behind the scenes, it will have no effect on his pocketbook.

Last year, both the single and album of DREAMS COME TRUE were sold well, and various royalties and karaoke royalties came in. The three of them made a lot of money, and the recorded income was in the unit of [-] million yen.

In order to avoid tax, Meihejiang and Nakamura brother also set up their own personal office in the second half of last year.Brother Nakamura's office address is in his hometown, and Miwachan's is next door to Wanyumi Watanabe's office.

Even so, the more he earns, the more taxes he has to pay, which still makes Mei Hejiang grin his teeth in distress.

Regarding internal affairs, no matter within the band, or the office or the record company, everyone is on the same page, as long as a decision is made, there will be no problem in doing it.

As for the outside world, it is to advertise the band's new system to the outside world.For this reason, we have to greet the sponsors, explain the situation to the TV station, publish in the newspaper, and issue a draft to the society.

These are things that the firm and the record company have to work together to solve, and even Shinichi Iwahashi, the producer, doesn't need to worry about it.

The only task given to the band is to agree on the frequency of outdoor concert tours.The giraffe man, who only appears in the circus tour, specifically how often he appears.

Regarding this, Meihejiang had already had an idea, pretending to be full of ideas, waiting to show her skills.

"For example, if I use GAMEBOY to fight, I can win a few games in a row, and it will be held once every few years..." Mihe-chan, who has been deeply fascinated by Nintendo recently, opened her mouth and closed her mouth, not leaving her beloved GAMEBOY.

Yanqiao Shinichi remembered her insignificant game technology, and reminded, "In that case, it would be no different from not quitting the theme tour."

"Tch." Meihejiang was slightly dissatisfied with being torn down by him.

The observing staff thought to themselves, why couldn't Iwahashi-san deliberately lose to Yoshida-san?In that way, if he wants to hold it every few years, the decision is not in Yanqiao-san's own hands.
-
But if that's the case, it's not "leaving this matter to Meihechan to decide".

The GAMEBOY battle method was rejected, and Miwa-chan then came up with a few weird ideas that people didn't know how to react to. The staff were by the side, seeing that Iwahashi Shinichi was very patient, and blocked every bad idea. Secretly admire.

...As expected of a man who can be the backbone of Yoshida-san.

The center of the band is Yoshida Miwa, but the backbone of Yoshida Miwa is Iwahashi Shinichi.This matter is a tacit consensus among the team.

Once the contract is full, if Iwahashi Shinichi proposes to quit, Yoshida Miwa will never renew the contract.

This is also a big reason why Sony is willing to sell this favor and fully cooperate to complete this member change.

Meihejiang used up all the bad ideas that Meihejiang brought, and the complacency just now was gone, and he was dejected, rolling his eyes boredly.

In the end, a bunch of bad ideas would come up, not because she was playing lightly on this matter, but because she had no ideas in her heart.

Playful indiscretion will not work, and we must return to reality in the end.

"Two years is too short, five years is too long." This kind of thing is self-evident.

Miwa-chan pursed her lips and said to Iwahashi Shinichi, "The year we debuted, there was an Olympic Games."

"Indeed." Yanqiao Shinichi also remembered.

The reason why I remember it is because the TV station was going to broadcast the Olympic games, and the program of the band Tianguo once or twice collided with the Olympic Games, and the ratings of the current period were cut off by more than one-third.

Every Olympic Games, various sports seasons, TV dramas and variety shows have to face such strong opponents.If you are unlucky and hit the final of an important competition, just wait for it to cool down.

And because there are so many sports events in summer, and the public likes to go out to play in summer, so the ratings of TV dramas and variety shows in summer are probably the most average in a year.

When holding an outdoor concert tour, the songs to be sung are decided by audience votes, and the songs that appear on the program list are all songs that won the rankings from the "competition"... If you think about it that way.

"The Olympic Games is a sports event that is a collection of sports events, and so is our outdoor concert tour."

Compared with the ordinary number of "three years", once every four years sounds more grand.Most importantly, holding an outdoor tour every four years will greatly reduce the burden on Shinichi Iwahashi.

"Held once every four years, a grand outdoor concert tour like the Olympics, doesn't it sound amazing?" Mihe-chan asked.

Yanqiao nodded cautiously, "It's quite powerful."

If it happens once every four years, start the design of the rental venue two years in advance, solicit sponsorship, and produce slowly.He also doesn't have to devote too much energy to the concert.

"Because it is held every four years, it must be as gorgeous as possible." Meihejiang began to raise conditions.

Shinichi Iwahashi continued to nod, "Because it's the Giraffe Man's debut every four years, I think sponsors must be pouring in."

Meihejiang made a strange face at him, "If you are so narcissistic, it's really a shame that Shenyi-kun can say it as if nothing happened."

"It's okay to talk about it." Yanqiao Shinichi may not be making her happy.

Not only did Brother Nakamura get used to these two people talking about fried soybeans, but the staff also watched a lot of free cross talks. Now that the words "every four years" have come out of Meihejiang's mouth, the dust has almost settled.

The unresolved matter is resolved, and the people present will have this kind of leisure.

"Besides, since the super concert is based on the example of the Olympic Games..." Iwahashi Shinichi turned his head and said casually, "Why don't you make going to the National Stadium a concert in the future, how about it?"

He uttered wild words, and the staff members at the scene bowed their heads when they heard Yanqiao Shinichi's words, writing and writing, for fear that this unknown Yanqiao producer would really discuss the matter of applying for a performance at the National Stadium on the spot.

"Holding a concert at the National Stadium" belongs to the Arabian Nights.

The National Stadium, located in Kasumigaoka Town, Shinjuku District, is the main venue of the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics and the home stadium of the Japanese national football team.Since its establishment, it has never been used for other purposes except for major sports events. It can be said that it is the highest-standard arena in Japan.

If you want to dance disco at the Tokyo Dome, you only need to spend 3000 million yen to get a schedule.But wanting to use the home stadium of the national football team to hold a concert is a whimsical idea that has no door, and it is a joy to talk about.

Not to mention that the owner of the National Stadium has never planned to rent out the venue to singers for concerts, and no group of singers have performed here since the stadium was built.

Even if you want to rent, this large stadium that can accommodate 6 people was built in 1958. At that time, Tokyo still had a large area of ​​farmland.

And this large stadium is an open venue, which means that the sound leakage is so severe that it can be heard for several kilometers.It is also said that if a sports event is held here, if a concert is held, it is estimated that the surrounding residents will complain in turn.

The National Stadium is a big crab that no one has ever eaten, and no one in the industry wants to eat it.

Anyone who listened to Yanqiao Shenyi's bold words would have to shake his head, thinking that he was used to going smoothly and his head was hotheaded.Only Meihejiang responded enthusiastically, "It sounds pretty good."

"..."

The staff were speechless.I thought to myself, after all, it is the person who will regard the producer Yanqiao as the backbone. The two people are whimsical, and they are synchronized enough.

"Then aim for that."

Miwa-chan turned her head towards Shinichi Iwahashi, "Because we are DREAMS COME TRUE." Therefore, all wishes will come true.

Brother Nakamura is used to hearing the rhetoric of these two unrealistic guys—but all the rhetoric that he promised has come true. At this moment, he just listened with a smile, noncommittal.

……

Johnny's Office.

"Really? I see. Thank you." Hiroshi Kitagawa put down the phone, thoughtful.

The captain of DREAMS COME TRUE, the giraffe man, is now the most popular producer Shinichi Iwahashi.

Once the identity of the giraffe man was known, many things became clear.

Why has this band had so many ingenious and effective publicity strategies since their debut, and why does the giraffe man appear on stage wearing a headgear.

It's very simple, because the producer of the band is Iwahashi Shinichi, and the planner of the band Paradise is also Iwahashi Shinichi.

The original intention of the giraffe man in the band to wear a headgear was to avoid suspicion.

When Kitagawa got this answer, he suddenly felt a little lucky in his heart. -Fortunately, fortunately, those children in SMAP are sensible and measured, and they were not really scared by Zhu Xing and Jijun to do something wrong.

If the giraffe man's headgear were to fall off in the backstage of the Red and White Song Concert, it would not be a storm that could be quelled by refrigerating and expelling the children of SMAP.At that time, Sony, Watanabe Productions, Iwahashi Shinichi, and TV Asahi, which supported Iwahashi Shinichi wearing a hood, will have to find a way to manage it on either side.

During the New Year's holiday, Kitagawa usually holds a party at his home, and invites idols who have debuted in the agency, as well as JRs who have not debuted, to participate together.

Previously, Kazuki Morohoshi of GENJI sued Kitagawa Hiroshi, saying that several members of SMAP secretly took his personal belongings to female fans, and used GENJI's light to brag outside.

These remarks are clumsy, but it is not without criminal record that JR took out his idol to brag about himself outside.

However, before Kitagawa could think about how to deal with it, at the party, several teenagers from SMAP took the initiative to find Kitagawa, Nakai Masahiro and Kimura Takuya. The two complemented each other and explained the backstage of the Red and White Song Club. clearly.

The teenagers are united and have a clear attitude: "What cannot be done must not be done anyway, and what cannot be admitted must never be admitted."

Compared with Zhuxing and Ji's one-sided words, SMAP's unity is obviously more credible.

Or, the attitude and vigor shown by the young people in SMAP made it unimportant to Kitagawa Ko whether they have done anything bad or not.
-
With this spirit, he is a qualified idol.

Whether SMAP has done the bad things Zhu Xing and Ji said, there is no evidence.

However, you can get a general idea of ​​Zhu Xingheji's performance in the backstage of the Red and White Song Festival by asking only GENJI's manager.With the sentence "The unicorn is here", Hiroshi Kitagawa guessed that SMAP was not lying.

Just those little devils in GENJI, usually bossing around the office staff and bullying the juniors, these are nothing to worry about, but if they really offend Sony and Watanabe Productions, offend the popular, popular musicians For a prestige producer, it is not easy to eliminate the bad influence.

In particular, the idol market is getting worse and worse now, the old man Toshihiko Tahara and the youth team have passed away, the Shibushizi team has disbanded, the newcomer male fighting group has become a joke in the band trend, and the popularity of the Heike faction has been slow to rise.

Janice looked at the scenery, but also faced the embarrassing situation of not receiving enough money.

The career of an idol is too short. Even if a male idol is longer than a female idol, it will not last much longer.No matter how popular GENJI is, the firm is eager to prepare their successors.

In Kitagawa Kou's mind, SMAP is the right candidate for him.

"That rock bridge is the giraffe man from DREAMS COME TRUE."

Hiroshi Kitagawa chewed the answer in his heart again.Johnny and Sony have worked together for many years. On Sony's side, there are high-level executives who have a good relationship with him. If you have to inquire carefully, you can still find out.Morohoshi Kazuki directed Katori Shingo to take off the giraffe man's hood. When Kitagawa heard this, he wanted to know who was under the hood.

In other words, if this person is not Shinichi Iwahashi, but just an ordinary person, then Kitagawa Ko will not take it seriously.Even if Zhuxing Kazuki did it himself next time, Kitagawa Kou didn't think it was a big deal.

Unexpectedly, when he inquired about the giraffe man, he found out another identity of Shinichi Iwahashi.
