Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 881
Mikami Ken's brokerage appointment is affiliated with Wanyumi Watanabe, and her office is responsible for taking care of it.

GENZO is beautiful, and Watanabe Wanyumi's U-MIZ has also made great progress.The singer business makes a lot of money, and the funds used to support the actor business are quite sufficient.

With a lot of money, Wanyumi Watanabe is more generous in promoting newcomers.Previously, after hearing from Michiyo Yamada of PAPADO that Fuji TV was planning to adapt "Tokyo Love Story", Wanyumi Watanabe went to Masaki Yoshida to verify and planned to sponsor the TV series through her brother-in-law.

Of course, the condition for paying the sponsorship fee is that the actor Kazuki Sawamura whom she strongly recommends has a role.

Wanyumi Watanabe spent 800 million yen as a signing fee to sign this rookie actor. A while ago, when Shinichi Iwahashi went to her office, she was finally introduced by her and met him.

Similar to what she described, he was a tall, straight, suave and handsome man.The domineering president's vision is trustworthy.

This year, Takashima Reiko won the heroine of the morning TV series. Izumi Inamura is the most recommended actress who has won the Newcomer Award for her acting skills.

Two actresses who have developed well and have no conflicting routes, right now, they are short of a good actor.

If you think about it this way, it is not difficult to understand why Watanabe Manyumi first spent a lot of money to sign an actor who has no conditions to speak of, and then invested a lot of money to raise his starting point to the lineup of Yuejiu TV series.

Watanabe Manyumi focused on her actor management, and Iwahashi Shinichi was in charge of his record business.The actor training class she runs is very impressive, and Shinichi Iwahashi is preparing to run a music class under the name of GENZO, so as to train and discover newcomers through one train.

The more prosperous the business each of them is handling, the less it is like doing everything together when starting a business.

……

At the end of June, Yokichi Osato of AMUSE was the host and entertained Shinichi Iwahashi.

Since the intention to build a recording studio in Los Angeles, Iwahashi Shinichi and Osato Yokichi have been very close, and they want to learn from this firm that has been committed to overseas development for many years.

Iwahashi Shinichi was still producing in Watanabe, and when he was in charge of the music festival, he got help from Yokichi Osato. Later, when he made the band Tianguo and recruited allies, his AMUSE was the first thing that came to mind.

With the previous two helping hands, Iwahashi Shin was grateful and admired Osato Yokichi.We have helped each other twice before, and this time, GENZO intends to go overseas, and Yokichi Osato is not stingy with advice and help.

At the beginning, Watanabe Shin generously let Oli Yokichi go and become independent, and the feng shui cycle turned again and again. After all, this step was not wrong.

Shinichi Iwahashi's GENZO is going to build a recording studio in Los Angeles, and Yokichi Osato's AMUSE is currently planning to open a subsidiary company in Xiangjiang.

At the banquet, Osato Yokichi did not shy away from it, and told Yanqiao Shinichi about the plan, and looked forward to Yanqiao Shinichi.

Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment learn from Japan, this matter does not need to be repeated.

The Japanese idol star who has passed away in the local area has moved to Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he is still a big star.I don't know how many years ago, Japanese companies arranged their business in Xiangjiang.Not only arrange local stars to develop, but also bring local stars to Japan.

However, there were Hong Kong and Taiwan singers who became popular in Japan a few years ago, but in recent years, only Japanese idols who are popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan have been seen, and there are no Hong Kong and Taiwan singers who can make a name for themselves in Japan.

Last year's Red and White Song Concert, NHK brought Xiangjiang's Tan Yonglin to the stage, but this year we didn't see him doing anything in Japan.

What I have to say is that Japanese idol stars can go to Hong Kong and Taiwan to play tickets and walk around, and the local supporters will give them enough support.However, artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, no matter they are popular or black in the local area, if they want to make a splash in the Japanese music scene, they have to start from scratch and work a little bit to have a chance of becoming popular.

But give up the great local business and go to Japan to develop. To do this, first persuade a lot of people to leave.If one fails, he goes back to his hometown with his tail between his legs in despair, and the base camp has already been snatched away by the latecomers.

This kind of thing is exactly the same as when Japanese singers and actors went to the United States to make a living.

This truth, the industry has not understood.

Osato Yokichi told Iwahashi Shinichi that what he planned to do was to dig people from Xiangjiang to Japan to develop.

"I remember that year, when the music festival was held, Yanqiao-kun also invited a band from China." Osato Yokichi suddenly mentioned it.He has a deep memory of the projects he has participated in.

Yanqiao Shen nodded, "Yes." After a pause, he told him, "Watanabe-san and I are still planning to continue the music festival as a brand."

"Really?" Oli Yangji was very interested.

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't hide anything, "Besides NAONのYAON, there are also plans to make a gender-neutral music festival."

Oli Yangji was curious, "Is it already in the plan?"

"Well." Yanqiao Shen said carefully, "It's already in the plan. The last time the music festival was held in February, but winter is not suitable for outdoor activities."

When the music festival was scheduled to be held in February, I said to the outside world that "use the enthusiasm of rock and roll to dispel the winter chill".

Anyway, mouths grow on people, so they can say whatever they want.

Yokichi Osato laughed, "When it comes to music festivals, summer is the most popular. Summer is the season for outdoor activities."

For Japan, the period of high incidence of hay fever is ruled out, the cold winter is ruled out, and the moldy rainy season is ruled out.In addition, the opening season and exam season, which prevent students from joining in the fun, should also be excluded.

Looking back and forth, it is indeed the most suitable time for summer vacation.

When dealing with THE BLUE HEARTS incident last year, Iwahashi Shinichi had plans to remake the music festival.When the music world was swept by the band craze, by holding music festivals, the band craze was pushed to the height of a "social phenomenon".

Oli Yokichi listened with gusto.After listening to it, he took the initiative to say: "Our agency also signed Nantian Qunxing, BEGIN and other excellent bands."

Yanqiao Shenyi said politely, "If you are all the stars of the Southern Sky, if you appear at the music festival, it will feel like it is actually a special outdoor concert."

Yokichi Osato laughed at him, then changed the subject and said, "However, if you plan to invite overseas bands, I might recommend one to you."

Yanqiao listened attentively.

Dali Yangji reported the name, "There is a band called beyond in Xiangjiang."

The commissioner sent by AMUSE visited Xiangjiang and was recommended to contact this band.So far, both sides are fairly satisfied with each other.

This band, which is already well-known in Hong Kong, not only longs for the Japanese music market, but also has the determination to let go of being a big star in Xiangjiang and start from scratch in Japan.

In particular, Japan is now at a time when bands are hot, which is exactly what this band wants.If the talks go well, the band should sign with AMUSE and be brought to Japan for development.

Osato Yokichi talked eloquently, looked at Shinichi Iwahashi's subtle expression, "Does Iwahashi-kun have any ideas?"

Being interrupted, Yanqiao Shenyi shook his head, and his expression returned to normal, "I was just thinking, it is quite courageous to have the determination to let go of the achievements in the local area and come here to start from scratch."

"Indeed." Osato Yokichi nodded, "It is also because of receiving this determination that I feel a heavy responsibility."

So, did you lose your life after signing with your firm?

Yanqiao Shenyi thought secretly.

I only heard that Huang Jiaju passed away accidentally when beyond was developing in Japan. Could it be that AMUSE was responsible for running them at that time?

Or it was originally another firm, but now it is under the attention of AMUSE?
He thought about it, and Osato Yokichi thought about it, and said as an anecdote: "The people in the band also know the name of Iwahashi-kun. They said that they flew to Tokyo for a special trip to watch the concert of THE BLUE HEARTS."

A THE BLUE HEARTS incident spread the name of Iwahashi Shinichi all over the world.

Yokichi Osato is humorous and has no pretensions. When talking about witty words, he said, "Although ordinary people may not know GENZO's Iwahashi-san, but those who look at the Japanese music industry cannot ignore the brilliance of this name."

Iwahashi Shinichi was a little speechless to be able to say the words of the second year from the mouth of someone who was more than 20 years older than himself.I didn't know what to say for a while, so I picked up the cup to drink.

Osato Yokichi laughed out loud as if he was waiting to see this reaction.It seemed that the joke he told would be finished after seeing Shinichi Iwahashi's reaction.

"It's true." Dali Yangji said.

Yanqiao Shenyi also believed it.Today, any band that intends to enter the Japanese music scene cannot ignore his name.

He returned to the topic, "Since it is the band recommended by Da Lisang, of course I welcome them to join."

Oli Yokichi raised his glass to him, drank it politely, and suddenly smiled, "I invite Yanqiao-kun this time, because I want to ask you about music."

Iwahashi Shinichi guessed that Yokichi Osato mentioned beyond in passing, but followed his words and said, "Just now I have been talking about music."

Oli Yangji laughed until the corners of his eyes were wrinkled.

Yanqiao Shinichi finished joking, put down his cup, and pretended to listen to him carefully.

Yokichi Osato also became serious, "Indeed, beyond is also an out-and-out music matter. To be honest with Iwahashi-kun, I trust the production ability of GENZO, and hope to deepen the cooperation with Iwahashi-kun and Watanabe-kun."

Speaking of Wanyumi Watanabe, Yokichi Osato always called her "Watanabe-kun".

Yokichi Osato made it clear that he wanted to make friends with GENZO, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't make any detours, and bowed to him, "I also trust Osato and AMUSE here."

However, the subtext of what Oli Yangji said just now is that the beyond is put aside in advance.

The signing of the contract has not yet been decided, and people from AMUSE can't say it well, so there is no need to waste words in advance.The right way is to choose the right record company after considering the situation.

"Actually, there is an artist who wants to recommend it to Yanqiao-kun."

After expressing mutual trust, Osato Yokichi was satisfied, and told Iwahashi Shinichi for dinner this time, the name of the singer he really wanted to recommend to him, and he thought it was suitable, "Actually, there is a bit of overlap with Iwahashi-kun... yes An entertainer whose name is Fukuyama Masaharu."

Saying this name, Yanqiao Shinichi suddenly realized.

Masaharu Fukuyama did a second episode of "Kitchen" starring Izumi Inamura. At that time, I heard Manyumi Watanabe mention the lively atmosphere that Masaharu Fukuyama played and sang on the set.

Oli Yokichi repeated the old saying, "Actually, when I was filming "Kitchen", I asked Mr. Yanqiao what he thought about making a male solo."

Iwahashi Shinichi actually doesn't remember whether Watanabe Wanyumi conveyed Osato Yokichi's words to him.However, he didn't change his face, and Yokichi Osato didn't plan to observe Shinichi Iwahashi's reaction at this time.

There are ready-made realities ahead.

Ken Mikami is about to make his debut, and GENZO also issued a press release stating that Shinichi Iwahashi intends to enter the solo market.

That kind of small composition, outsiders watch the excitement, Oli Yokichi, who has been in the industry for decades, has published many such drafts, and he is naturally very clear about the routines in it.

Since Shinichi Iwahashi announced to the outside world that he has the willingness to produce a solo singer, Osato Yokichi dared to cooperate with him, a producer who has no experience in producing male solo singers.

"When Fukuyama-kun participated in the audition, he thought of becoming a singer."

Osato Yokichi and Iwahashi Shinichi introduced Fukuyama Masaharu's situation.I wanted to be a singer, but I was not discovered by the record company, so I stumbled into AMUSE's actor selection meeting. After being selected, Yokichi Osato persuaded him that he can also be a singer after becoming an actor, and his appearance is so good, it's a pity not to be an actor .

Compared to being an actor who can also be a singer, what really convinced Masaharu Fukuyama should be "the appearance is so good, it's a pity not to be an actor."

Even so, there has been no splash at all since the actor's debut.I want to become famous by becoming an actor first, and then act while You sing, this envisioned path is now out of the question.

"When I invited Fukuyama-kun to join the firm, I promised that after debuting as an actor, I would also be able to debut as a singer," said Yokichi Osato.

It is said that he has the demeanor of a good boss.However, to uncover this demeanor, the real reason is rather that Masaharu Fukuyama's career as an actor was too rough. Since he acted and Yuu couldn't sing, Yokichi Osato also wanted to try singing and Yuu played this one.

Shinichi Yanqiao agreed, "If it's Da Li-san's recommendation, there is nothing else I can do besides 'welcome'. But," he changed the subject, leaving a thread for himself first, "in terms of producing solo singers , I have neither sufficient experience nor relevant grades."

If Yokichi Osato is eagerly looking forward to short-term returns from Fukuyama Masaharu, it is better to choose a big record company and an experienced big-name producer.

To a certain extent, the actor made no splash in his debut, so he turned to release a record for him.Yokichi Osato did this because he was very optimistic about Masaharu Fukuyama.

Dali Yangji's tone was hearty, dispelling his worries, "Since I have invited Mr. Yanqiao, of course I trust Mr. Yanqiao unconditionally."

Speaking of this, there is nothing else to say.

Iwahashi Shinichi accepted the commission and made an agreement with Yokichi Osato, and then met Masaharu Fukuyama to discuss the details of the record contract.
