Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 849 849. Digging Another Hole

On the side of Iwahashi Shinichi, since the end of last year, he and Watanabe Wanyumi guessed Nagato Taiko's plan, and deliberately began to prepare for this cooperation.The finalized and finalized response strategy was to cooperate with the Star Office on a five-year newcomer discovery plan, aiming to "jointly develop and work together to deliver talents to the record industry."

During this period, Xingchen Office and GENZO worked together to discover talents, and GENZO was responsible for the cultivation and debut plan of the new star singers. After their debut, they will be jointly cultivated by both parties.

Then there's the point.At the same time as the cooperation plan is signed, GENZO and Xingchen will jointly invest to establish a sub-label affiliated to GENZO, which will be responsible for the operation of "Xingchen" singers.

As for Yude Keiko, who has not yet debuted, if this cooperation can be made, then she will be the first singer launched in this newcomer cooperation plan, and put the record contract under the cooperation record for management.

The first phase of this newcomer discovery program will last for five years.

During the cooperation period, Xingchen Office was no longer a hands-off shopkeeper like it was when ZARD debuted.Instead, they actually participated in the operation of the label, discovered new singers, and were trained, produced and launched by the new label.As for using the resources at hand to promote one's direct lineage, and mutual support and cooperation with the GENZO headquarters, there is no need to say more about these.

After the five-year cooperation period expires, it will be decided whether to continue or end the second phase according to the actual situation.Of course, how to continue and what kind of plan to end, these should also be left in the preparation of the first five-year cooperation.

In addition to cooperating with sub-labels, when formulating the plan, Iwahashi Shinichi also mentioned an additional point, that is, while GENZO and Xingchen reached a cooperation, they also tried to find ways to promote Xingchen Office and Watanabe Manyumi as much as possible. Established a business partnership relationship between the firms.

This plan is to deepen the relationship with the Xingchen Office. In addition, it also uses the cooperation in the record industry to win an ally for Watanabe Mayumi's office.

Although U-MIZ is small in scale, on the one hand, it is backed by Watanabe Production, and has a good relationship with Fuji TV and Asahi TV. On the other hand, it has experience in actor training, film production, and variety show production. There are many strengths.

If we reach a business tie-up with Xingchen, in the future, we can take care of each other and benefit each other in such places as co-funding and making movies to promote newcomers, mutual training and recommending each other's newcomers to play roles that are not suitable for us, and so on.

Similarly, Wanyumi Watanabe's office is booming, and GENZO, who has been prosperous with her, is making money along with her.

The plan is like this, if there is no objection in the general direction, it will enter the next stage and conduct more detailed discussions on more specific things.

The overall atmosphere of this night's reception was harmonious and harmonious, and the two sides could talk together.The details are yet to be discussed, but in general, everything is on that line and has not deviated.

In this way, entering the second stage of the negotiation is already secure.

After the reception at GENZO, the Xingchen Office quickly sent back an invitation card.Xingchen's return to the banquet also means that this cooperation will continue.

On Saturday night, Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe were in the same car to go to the appointment there.

……

Docklands, BEING.

Nagato Taiko suppressed the surprise in his heart, and confirmed with the other end of the phone, "Are you going to cancel the golf after?"

The previous itinerary was this Saturday, and I went to golf with a director who was very supportive of the cooperation with BEING from the investor side.

But now, I suddenly received a call from the other party, telling him that the subsequent golf social was cancelled.

"Although I'm very sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it." The director on the other end of the phone didn't feel apologetic in his tone, "This is no longer something I can continue to intervene in..."

There is something in the words.

It's not that Nagato Taiko couldn't hear it, let alone understand it.There is no way to cancel, not only golf, but also the possibility of reaching out to BEING.

Could it be that planning a game, such a long period of planning and foreshadowing, has just become a bamboo basket and fetching water?

"It was so sudden."

Nagato Taiyuki was both surprised and surprised, and there was still a faint displeasure in his heart of being betrayed and caught off guard, and he couldn't calm down for a while.Speaking out, for fear of being misunderstood and blamed by the other party, hurry up to smooth things over.

The director on the opposite side also felt that the matter was boring, and he was in a bad mood.

"Although it is difficult for some strong people," Taiyuki Nagato stabilized his mind, "Golf in the distance is not possible. If you can reward me, I will entertain you from here. I don't know what you want."

Taiko Nagato had to know the reason for the cancellation.

The director on the opposite side, who was close to Nagato Taiyuki before, tried his best to help matchmaking, but now that things have become like this, it is not happy, and he feels that he should give an explanation after all.

"Then, thanks to Nagato-san's hospitality." He said.

……

At the reception that Xingchen invited back, the two parties continued to exchange views and discuss cooperation matters, and finalized more details.

Both parties agreed on the idea of ​​establishing a sub-label. After the cooperation started, Star Office organized the selection of new singers every year, and GENZO assisted. The selected singers were signed to the sub-label to prepare for their debut.

At this point, there is no need for Nagato Taiyuki of BEING to continue negotiating with him.

He himself, Xingchen Office and the investors behind him are interested in taking a share of the record industry, but it's really hard to say how much he wants to deeply cultivate the record industry.

In this wave, Sachiko Kamachi was sent to participate in the audition, and a first prize was won by mistake, which made the cake in the record industry feel delicious.But in the next wave, if the recording industry is in a downturn, they will not be willing to fight.

This kind of mentality of wanting to take a ride rather than start from scratch is the reason why Iwahashi Shinichi has a well-thought-out plan to complete the cooperation.On the other hand, Nagato Taiyuki also has to wait for the theme song of "Chibi Maruko-chan" to sell well. He holds a group with best-selling songs and a B'z who just released a mini-album last year. This is the chance to enter the eyes of the stars.

To talk about cooperation, to clear Nagato Taiko's calculations, and to be exposed to potential crises, this process requires not only making a plan, but also thinking about the other party's mind at the same time as making the plan, so that the right medicine can be prescribed.

For the Xingchen Office, it is more reliable and realistic to choose to take advantage of Shinichi Iwahashi and GENZO than to start from scratch with Nagato Taiyuki who doesn't know what the future holds, and who may be empty-handed.Needless to say, there are ZARD's success ahead, Utoku Keiko's debut is in preparation, and Iwahashi Shinichi's reputation as a "golden hand".

After this reception, both parties have already figured it out, and no longer think about it.

The investors of Xingchen will no longer consider Taiko Nagato's BEING, and the crisis of being stuck on GENZO's side has also been resolved.When talking about a big event, the nerves are tense during the talk, and when the talk is over, after a sigh of relief, I feel physically and mentally exhausted.

After the show, GENZO found another place to have a drink and relax.

Shinichi Iwahashi, Manyumi Watanabe, the cadres sent by Takeda Printing Company to GENZO, and the staff who came to talk about business, it was another mighty scene.

Drink a glass of wine to relax and give benefits to the accompanying staff members. Let them play casually tonight, and send the bills to the company for reimbursement afterwards.

The crew is cheering and ready to hit the ground running this Saturday night.After sending off the cadres from Takeda Printing Company, Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe exchanged glances, both wanting to talk.

"Let's find another one to sit with." Yanqiao Shinichi suggested.

Wanyumi Watanabe made fun of herself, "It's not easy to take the staff to the nightclub when I'm present."

"Do you want to go? You can go in if you are led by a man."

Yanqiao Shenyi didn't answer her words, but turned to tease her.This cunning rhetoric can be used with ease.Wanyumi Watanabe smiled, and said back in a neither soft nor hard way, "I want to go to the male eldest sister's bar."

"Please forgive me for this." Yanqiao Shinichi conceded defeat at the speed of light.

Watanabe Manyumi was calm and relaxed, as if winning without any effort.

It's like this when you are too familiar, you know where to say the most painful spots with just one mouth.However, making fun of each other with such words may not be a way to relax after a big event has been accomplished.

I didn't go to the nightclub, let alone the male eldest sister's bar.Finally, go to the members-only bar in Roppongi.Both of them are members there, and Shinichi Iwahashi's introducer is Wanyumi Watanabe.

"In this way, it will be stable for the time being."

The two toast each other.Before the wine was in his mouth, he spit out such a relieved sentence first.

This breath of relief is to relieve the crisis of being attacked by Nagato Taiyuki and his BEING.However, while the crisis is over, there are also new challenges waiting.

"While the popularity of bands is on the rise, solo singers of creative type will also usher in the rise." Iwahashi Shinichi mentioned, "Because there are similarities between the two. Especially there is an idol era that lasted. more than ten years of background."

The reason why bands have taken over idols has become a new trend. On the one hand, the bands are highly watchable. On the other hand, it has a lot to do with bands that focus on strength and creation, and idols that focus on packaging.

If strength and creativity are the two reasons for the band's popularity, then singer-songwriters with individuality will have more opportunities to stand out.

"So, when Yude made his debut, he focused on 'personality' and 'creation'." Watanabe Wanyumi said.

Yanqiao Shen nodded, "That's right. If she stands on the stage and doesn't impress the audience, then it won't work. So, when making a debut plan, you must consider these things."

As he said, he thought of someone, "Yu De is a 'Star Series', but we still have a real 'GENZO Series' female singer-songwriter."

"Daihemoji." Iwahashi Shinichi mentioned the name.

He pondered for a while, "Compared to Yude, Dahei is not pretty enough. However, she has something more important than her looks. She is the kind of person who can naturally attract attention when she stands on the stage... like Nakajima Like Miyuki-san and Yumi-san."

"The evaluation is so high?"

Yanqiao nodded cautiously, "So, her brokerage contract must be placed in your office. Only in this way will you not be tied down."

This is what people who trust each other say.Watanabe Mayumi smiled.

"However," Yanqiao Shenyi changed the subject, "in the first half of the year, we will focus on completing the cooperation with Xingchen, so Yude's debut must be placed first. Dahei's debut time can only be temporarily delayed Squeeze it."

"Dahei is talented and proud. She is also a rookie in the reserve army. It will probably be a big blow to her if she wants to fall behind Yude Jingzi." Yanqiao Shenyi mentioned.

However, when considering the overall situation, it is necessary to make appropriate choices and change the order.

Wanyumi Watanabe didn't know much about the newcomer Daikoku Maki, she just guessed that he had another plan, and waited for the next article.

"So, we have to change our approach."

Shinichi Iwahashi told Wanyumi Watanabe, "I want to prepare a super-large debut plan for Daikoku. Therefore, in order to arrange the plan well, it is an expected adjustment to postpone it temporarily."

"It's really cunning." Wanyumi Watanabe said to him.

Yanqiao Shen smiled, "It's not cunning, it's a sincere intention. Dahei and Yude are two different types. Yude needs careful cultivation, but Dahei is an 'explosive' type."

Dahei Moji's energy, slowly, wasted her impact on the public.Therefore, it is necessary to hold back the big move.

"I'm not just saying this to you casually." He mentioned, "Dahei's agent will make an appointment with you. When preparing for the planning, the publicity expenses and necessary joints--I'll leave it up to you."

Wanyumi Watanabe was a little speechless, "Just to say this?"

"This is very important." Yanqiao Shenyi was serious.

He wasn't joking, Wanyumi Watanabe was also a little more serious.After thinking about it, I understood what he meant, and nodded, "Okay, in order to see this 'explosion', I accept Dahei's brokerage contract."

To put it bluntly, preparing a super-large debut plan for Dahei Moji was something that Iwahashi Shin had planned in his heart early in the morning.And handing over Dahei Moji to her was the step he really left to appease Dahei Moji.

"Stay tuned." Yanqiao Shinichi said.

Mayumi Watanabe accepted his people, too lazy to answer this question, and slowly drank whiskey.

……

On the same night, Nagato Taiko met with the director he had befriended.

The plan was in shambles, and the expected cooperation was also in vain. Nagato Taiyuki was in a panic, and when he saw his face, he still had to force himself to smile and act as if nothing happened.

With his behavior like this, the director who was also unhappy became more comfortable.

Even though both of them were pretending to be full of thoughts, they both knew what the other wanted to hear and what they wanted to say, so they endured it, drinking and having fun first as if nothing had happened, and chatting with the girls accompanying the wine with witty words.

After drinking two stalls, I switched to the third one, and finally got down to business, talking about Nagato Taiko's concern.

"It's Iwahashi-san from GENZO." The other party revealed the answer.
