Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 858
On the last day of March, both Warner Bros. and GENZO will hold an official song selection meeting.

Previously, it was the record company and the office that sent Akina Nakamori's requests and proposals for the collaboration album to Shinichi Iwahashi, but now, they finally have to negotiate face to face.

Shinichi Iwahashi came to cooperate with her as a producer, and the song selection meeting was scheduled to be held in Warner's conference room.

This morning, Akina Nakamori was still in Osaka.I booked Kansai TV's program to be recorded, and I arrived in Osaka the night before. After recording the program today, I rushed back to Tokyo to participate in the song selection meeting in the afternoon.The song selection meeting is over, and at one o'clock in the morning, there is another radio program to participate in.

I have long been accustomed to this kind of intense life, neither Akina Nakamori nor the accompanying staff feel it is very urgent.Even after recording the show, Akina Nakamori still had time to buy some souvenirs before returning home.

While strolling around, she asked, as if discussing with Daben, "Do you want to bring a meeting gift for Yanqiao-san?"

After saying the words, he shook his head, and was attracted by other things, and walked forward.With this appearance, it is impossible to guess whether she "yes" or "no".

Da Ben is used to this self-righteous style, and feels helpless, and thinks she is too childish.

Previously, during the planning and negotiation stage, Akina Nakamori was not at all soft-hearted in provoking the opponent's problems.At this moment, the plan was finalized and she was satisfied with the plan given, so everything was easy to discuss, and even thought of giving Yanqiao Shen a meeting gift.

During the first collaboration, Akina Nakamori had a big quarrel with Shin Iwahashi in the recording studio, and everyone involved knew about it.The office thought that she was extra picky this time because of the unhappy cooperation last time.

But Da Ben stood close and saw it clearly, and felt in his heart that it was not what the people in the office thought.

It is true that there was a lot of quarrel in the recording studio, but afterwards, I just conveyed that Shinichi Iwahashi praised her for her good idea, and Akina Nakamori smiled happily as if she had been recognized.

The current arbitrariness is not so much a dislike for Iwahashi Shinichi who picks on him, but a competitive spirit.

However, that Yanqiao-san is not an ordinary person.

After complimenting Akina Nakamori's good idea, I can really make a new plan later.Daben had to admire this power of action in his heart.

In addition to admiration, as a manager, I really thank the producer for his appreciation of Akina Nakamori.

Of course, thanks are thanks, admiration is admiration, he still thinks quietly in his heart, hoping that this round of cooperation will end without incident.

……

For this project, I am ready to use all the songs provided by the band.The collection of songs was handed over to Iwahashi Shinichi, and the selection of songs was carried out by him, Akina Nakamori, and Warner's team.

First determine the theme and style of the new album, and then find suitable people to invite songs according to the theme and style.Shinichi Iwahashi has promoted the development of the band trend, and is regarded as a hero in the band circle. Now he comes forward to invite songs, and the objects he invites, whether popular or not, with personality or easy-going, almost all respond accepted his invitation.

Although he neither writes lyrics nor composes music, but with such a person around, there will be no shortage of good songs.Plus, he has signed singer-songwriters and bands, as well as songwriters signed to his own production company.

For this song selection, Iwahashi Shinichi did not take songs from the music library of the record company, but used the music library of the production company.

Shinichi Iwahashi has been cooperating frequently with Warner. He received Warner's assistance when he first organized the music festival, and later became an independent production company and got the first production order.Then, there are these two collaborations with Akina Nakamori.

The music selection meeting will be held at [-]:[-] pm, and Shinichi Iwahashi will be there on time.When we went, Akina Nakamori had already arrived, and her manager and assistant were waiting outside, playing the role of welcoming Shinichi Iwahashi.

In terms of production, Kenyin has always entrusted Warner to not ask about the details, but after the song selection is over, it is Kenyin's firm that is responsible for spending money to entertain the people in this conference room.

"Yanqiao-san." Da Ben hurriedly greeted him when he saw him.

Yanqiao Shenyi returned the salute, and said a few words of politeness.When he raised his eyelids, he saw Akina Nakamori's little assistant looking at him.When the eyes met, the little assistant opened his eyes wide and then lowered his head at him.

This reaction was indescribably funny.

Yanqiao Shinichi withdrew his gaze, said goodbye to Daben, and walked towards the meeting room.

As the others walked away, Assistant Momoi breathed a sigh of relief.

Big Ben heard it in his ears, and thought the little assistant's appearance was funny, "You shouldn't be nervous, are you?"

The little assistant wanted to nod and shake his head, so he stood there motionless, and changed the subject, "That Yanqiao-san is really amazing."... If he said he wanted to cooperate, he could immediately send a cooperation invitation.

Daben admitted, "It is indeed a remarkable person." He remembered that when he first knew of such a person, this Yanqiao Shinichi was still a staff member running errands.However, because he is different from the past today, he never mentions these things.

"Ming Cai-san is looking forward to this cooperation, right?" the little assistant said.

Although Shinichi Iwahashi sent a cooperation invitation to now gathered together to discuss, and the people in charge of the twists and turns agency and record company in the middle have heard of it, but the assistant feels that it is precisely because of expectations that Akina-san will do it. So picky.

"Do you think so too?" Big Ben smiled.

The little assistant nodded, "Ming Cai-san, if you don't look forward to it, you won't be so picky."

With Ming Cai-san's consistent character and style and the right to speak at work, if she didn't like it, she would reject it directly from the beginning.

What's more, the opponent is Yanqiao-san.

The little assistant thought of this and stopped quickly.While reading the assistant manual silently in his heart, he quietly glanced at Daben.He gave up on inquiring into Ming Cai-san's private affairs, but he couldn't help but want to observe Da Ben-san and see how he reacted.

Da Ben pondered in his mind, but didn't notice the little assistant's eyes.He mentioned, "The last cooperation was a great success. Yanqiao-san is in the limelight now. It would be great if this cooperation can achieve good results."

"But..." He turned around.

The little assistant listened halfway, and became curious, "But?"

Big Ben just glanced at the little assistant and made her laugh at the way she waited to satisfy her curiosity.He said: "Warner is in charge of music production, and the office has to take care of Yanqiao-san for a while."

He mentioned, "That Yanqiao-san is a romantic and talented man."

The little assistant said "Huh?"

Da Ben's interest in talking faded, he stopped talking to the little assistant, and started to check the itinerary in his hand.The little assistant was in a daze after hearing a sentence without beginning or end.

Iwahashi-san is a romantic talent?

……

Iwahashi Shinichi, who was holding the selection meeting, suddenly felt his nose itchy.I rubbed it, but luckily I didn't sneeze.

After a song demo was played, Akina Nakamori and Warner's team expressed their opinions.Iwahashi Shin turned his distracted attention back to the song selection meeting right now.

After the quarrel was passed through the office in advance, the consensus that should be reached was also reached, and the atmosphere of the music selection meeting was quite good, neither tense nor slack.

The conversation was all about the song, and Akina Nakamori no longer felt excluded.On the contrary, she is the protagonist of the album, and she has become the absolute central figure in this song selection meeting.

However, when she saw Yanqiao Shinichi today, she couldn't help secretly laughing in her heart.

It was probably Saturday, or because he was here as a producer for the selection meeting, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't wear that suit and leather shoes today, but wore a less formal jacket.

Looking at it this way, it doesn't look so good at pretending...

That night, the matter of tricking him into putting his suit on neatly flashed through her mind.

Seeing him in casual clothes, he secretly laughed, probably because he didn't wear a suit on purpose.

This small thought only appeared in my mind when I entered the door to say hello.Afterwards, we started to get down to business. We talked about the production of songs and albums, the installation and reverse installation, some of which were not, and were all put aside by Akina Nakamori.

The song was invited after the theme and style of the album were determined. In this way, this song selection meeting was also carried out in the "led by Akina-san's ideas" in Iwahashi Shinichi's plan.

He wanted to cooperate, so Akina Nakamori let go of his hands and feet to think about it, so the atmosphere of the song selection meeting was particularly devoted.

Of course, Yanqiao Shinichi did not agree with everything.As a producer who pays attention to commercial achievements, he also plays as an assistant beside him to bring the deviation back to the right track.

After the song selection meeting, after that, Yanyin came forward to be responsible for the follow-up entertainment.It is necessary to entertain the producer Shinichi Iwahashi, as well as the team of Akina Nakamori at Warner.Have dinner first, and there will be a series of programs after dinner.

For dinner, Akina Nakamori also participated.Everything went well at the music selection meeting, Akina Nakamori was in a good mood, and there were no strangers present for dinner, they were all a team that had been working together.They are all her own people, she eats a lot, and has a good appetite.

This appearance, compared with the absent-mindedness when I went to the seminar for the last joint project, seemed to be two people.But on the other hand, this is the embodiment of her relaxed mood.

As soon as Yanqiao Shen heard her witty remarks, talking and laughing with the familiar people in black, he felt that this cheerful Nakamori Akina was more interesting than the jokes she told.

Eat dinner together, and wait until the follow-up reception, it has nothing to do with her.

Yanyin sent a manager in charge of hospitality over there, and then went to the club for leisure, and then changed to three stalls one after another, and it would take one or two o'clock when everything was over.

The next day was a Sunday without work, and tonight, Tokyo's always rich nightlife was extraordinarily colorful.

After the meal, Nakamori Akina said goodbye to the group of people who were going to Xiaosa next.She smiled and said polite words, "Thank you everyone today..."

His eyes fell on Yanqiao Shinichi, and he nodded, "Thank you Yanqiao-san for today."

Yanqiao Shinichi returned the salute politely, "It's on my side."

At the song selection meeting, when you talked about the album with each other, I didn’t feel it, but now I’m saying goodbye politely, the disappearing meaning of pretense, unknowingly, seems to come between the two again.

Nakamori Akina blinked, seeing this guy's nonchalant look——

As if she herself was not such a nonchalant look.

Yanqiao Shinichi finished his courteous conversation with her, turned his head away, and talked to the people on Warner's side.

The way he only sees Nakamori Akina as the partner of cooperation makes Nakamori Akina feel sour.A sour, subtly showing a trace of over-concern for Shinichi Iwahashi.

On the other side, people in black behind the scenes continued to eat, drink and have fun. On this side, Akina Nakamori left the restaurant where she was eating and got into the car.

Daben, the agent, will go with the manager sent by Yanyin to entertain the men in black behind the scenes, assistants and drivers, and then he will be dispatched by Akina Nakamori.

At this moment, it is not yet eight o'clock in the evening.

The next job starts at one o'clock in the morning, and the middle period is neither long nor short.Akina Nakamori made up her mind, go home first, and take Kenta the puppy out for a walk—a little puppy with little exercise, even if it needs to be walked, a walk downstairs is enough.

Afterwards, I invite my friends to go dancing, have a drink, kill the time until twelve o'clock, and then go to the TBS broadcasting station to record the program.

Nakamori Akina got into the car and told the little assistant about her plan.

Momoi's little assistant "hmmm" listened, and kept it in mind, "Is it okay for Kenta-kun to be alone at home?"

"Pretty well behaved." Akina Nakamori immediately overflowed with maternal love when she mentioned the puppy.

When Kenta just picked it up, the little assistant also helped send it to the dog school, and sometimes took the puppy to the workplace. When she was busy with work, the puppy was taken care of by the little assistant.

Both of them are young girls who have little resistance to cute things.The assistant also likes Kenta very much.

"Although sometimes I feel that Kenta is always at home by himself, and I have to send him to foster care when he is on a business trip. I feel a little sorry for him..." Akina Nakamori would not tell Daben about the puppy.

The little assistant made suggestions, "It's not too noisy work, how about taking Kenta-kun with you next time? I will help take care of it."

"Thank you." Akina Nakamori smiled.

Whether you take Kenta with you next time or not, I will be happy for the little assistant's enthusiasm.

This car can drive directly into the underground parking lot of Akina Nakamori's apartment.Nakamori Akina invited the little assistant to go up together, and took Kenta out for a walk.

Kenta heard the movement and ran over, the puppy was neurotic, and once he got acquainted with people, he became a coquettish ghost.Even though I haven't seen her little assistant for a while, once we got acquainted with each other, we circled around her.

The little assistant was playing with the puppy while waiting for Akina Nakamori to come out.

The room was clean and tidy, which was in line with Akina Nakamori's habit of always loving to be tidy.The little assistant glanced at the bookshelves, and they were also neatly arranged.

However, there are a few books that Akina Nakamori, who has never liked to study, would read.

She looked back and patted Kenta's head.

After a while, Akina Nakamori came out.She washed her face again and changed into the sports clothes she used to go out.

"Awaited."

Akina Nakamori smiled.

Once the makeup is removed, it looks childish.Looking at her defenseless face, the little assistant suddenly remembered what Big Bensang said in the afternoon.

Yanqiao-san...is he a flirtatious wit?
