Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 978 978. Limited combination
Someone set a precedent in the industry and did something unprecedented.Then, latecomers who want to do similar things again will face much less resistance.

Before X's mainstream debut, he had already performed in the underground music industry for several years, and has accumulated considerable popularity as an underground band.Lin Jiashu established an independent label with the support of his mother. In addition to taking care of X, he also provides services for other underground bands.Soaked in it, it's also clear how bands thrive in Tokyo's underground music world.

Good bands are waiting here, missing a chance for them to take over the mainstream.The popularity of the show Band Heaven opened the door for the bands who are ready to go.But even without Band Paradise, good bands still have a chance to get in front of the mainstream if given another chance.

In Lin Jiashu's view, Shinichi Iwahashi is certainly worthy of respect as a person who promotes the trend of the band, but he allowed various companies to break apart and work together to produce the same album. This pioneering work is also his great contribution.

Even, in Lin Jiashu's eyes, the latter incident was even more remarkable. Before X debuted, when dealing with mainstream record companies that were interested in them, they had experienced the twists and turns between various companies, so they admired Iwahashi Shinichi even more.

Of course, when Lin Jiashu heard that someone like Yanqiao Shinichi would associate with Nakamori Akina, Lin Jiashu also felt that it was a perfect match.Although Shinichi Iwahashi does not look like someone who would have anything to do with a fashionable female star, it is more normal for such a man who dares to think and act to conquer a female star who is famous for being rebellious and assertive.

What's more, if such a character is just hanging out with the little models in the circle, it would be a bit boring.

Lin Jiashu has dealt with Yanqiao Shenyi before, and knows that he is a person who strives for perfection in his work and has a clear and shrewd mind.Such a person would choose to associate with a big star from another company and do such an uninteresting thing. Lin Jiashu heard about his fresh gossip, and felt that this made Yanqiao Shenyi look like a lover.

This producer, who is famous for producing bands, is undoubtedly a qualified businessman in terms of his vision of things and the means of producing singers.However, this sensational love affair made him look like an artist.

Whenever Lin Jiashu drank, he was bound to get drunk.He met Tajima Takao on the way, and after a drink, the two parties parted ways, and he continued to wander until he was carried home by the accompanying manager.I woke up the next day with a hangover and dizziness. After all, I still remembered that there were plans for the afternoon, so I got up and packed myself and went to the recording studio in Shinanomachi.

However, instead of rendezvousing with X's teammates, I'm going to meet friends who have become popular recently.

"Komuro-san~"

Although Lin Jiashu said he had a hangover, he had put on his make-up before going out and was in good spirits, and he couldn't tell that he had drunk too much before.

However, Komuro Tetsuya looked at him and asked, "Would it be another whole night?"

Being exposed, Lin Jiashu smiled slightly.

As a bystander, this smile can be called "sweet".However, those who stayed in the recording studio knew his reputation all too well, knowing that this one, who only looked like a princess, was actually very violent.

...but it could also be a violent princess.

X and TM NETWORK belong to the same Sony family. However, one of the two bands is signed to CBS and the other is signed to EPIC.Sony has a big family and a big business. Basically, singers from different labels have little chance to be related.

The reason why Lin Jiashu and Komuro Tetsuya met was because they met outside of work, drinking and having fun outside.Talented people cherish each other, not to mention, both of them are handsome men with some appearance associations.

After going back and forth, after getting acquainted with each other, the two also exchanged music.Two fashionable wits, with all kinds of wonderful ideas in their heads, inspire each other, and the more they communicate, the more inspired they become.

Under the recommendation of Tetsuya Komuro, Lin Jiashu also met Toshihiko Takamizawa of THE ALFEE.According to Tetsuya Komuro, he is often associated with the image of Toshihiko Takamizawa.

Indeed, Takamizawa Toshihiko is a handsome man with long blond hair and fair skin.And as a musician, he can also be called a chosen genius.In addition, Takamizawa Toshihiko's guitar level is also ranked first.

Lin Jiashu and Komuro Tetsuya belong to the Sony family, so there are still more opportunities for communication.On the other hand, Toshihiko Takamizawa, although he chatted quite speculatively with the two of them, he signed with Polly Jiayin.

but……

After listening to the new song produced by Tetsuya Komuro, Lin Jiashu suddenly mentioned, "Why don't you take this opportunity to form a band for limited events?"

Lin Jiashu seemed to have a whim.Although Komuro Tetsuya felt that the communication between the two of them was quite speculative, he did not expect that Lin Jiashu's ability to act was so strong.

He is obviously well-known, but he is slow to make music like a person who is a foreigner.

But maybe, it's because Lin Jiashu is not only a musician, but also the person in charge of an independent label.Compared with Tetsuya Komuro who just had some business sense, Lin Jiashu is actually a serious businessman who wants to realize his ideas.

However, the reason why he suddenly made up his mind at this moment was because of another idea.

"Iwahashi Shinichi-san, does Komuro-san know?"

When Lin Jiashu mentioned this name, Tetsuya Komuro couldn't help being stunned.When I came back to my senses, I laughed hard.

……

Yanqiao Shenyi thought in his heart to find time to invite Tetsuya Komuro back, but before he could reply, that night, when he was out socializing, he received a call from Tetsuya Komuro again.

"Iwahashi-san, isn't it convenient to have a drink together now?" Regarding the recent frequent contact with Iwahashi Shinichi, Komuro Tetsuya didn't feel that he had gone too far. When he called, his voice sounded refreshed.

It looks like it's already drunk.Iwahashi Shinichi thought so in his heart, Komuro Tetsuya reported the situation first, "X's YOSHIKI-kun is also here, we chatted, it turns out that Iwahashi-san and X also have a relationship..."

"Fate?" Shinichi Yanqiao smiled at the word, recalling Lin Jiashu's princess-like face.Suddenly he realized that the feeling Xiaomuro Zhezai gave him was actually very close to Lin Jiashu.Beautiful, smart, and a little narcissistic.

It is not surprising that these two people will know each other, and still sit together and drink and talk happily.

Such a thought flashed through Yanqiao Shenyi's head, but he didn't say anything, "Before I was thinking, thanks to Komuro-san's hospitality, I should also invite you back. Now, I'm going to disturb you again."

Komuro Tetsuya didn't take it seriously, "Let's put the matter of returning the invitation to the next time."

Putting down the phone, Yanqiao Shinichi said goodbye to the people here, and went to the appointment with Komuro Tetsuya and Lin Jiashu.When he found him, Tetsuya Komuro and Lin Jiashu were chatting and laughing with the waitress of the club, which made the young waitress laugh non-stop.

It was Lin Jiashu who first spotted Yanqiao Shinichi and waved at him, "Long time no see, Yanqiao-san."

After drinking some wine, the princess smiled, and the corners of her brows and eyes looked a little delicate, quite delicious.In comparison, Tetsuya Komuro, although he is also a handsome man, is just a "man" and does not make people think of femininity.

"Long time no see, Yoshiki-san." Iwahashi Shinichi nodded at him.

After sitting down, he smiled and said tactfully, "I didn't expect that I could get to know both of you at the same time."

"I don't think Iwahashi-san is at all surprised that I acted with YOSHIKI-kun." Tetsuya Komuro said.

Lin Jiashu interjected, "It's not surprising that people who stay in the entertainment world will do anything or hang out with anyone."

"That's true." Yanqiao Shenyi agreed solemnly.But in this situation, the more serious the performance, the more ridiculous it seems.Rather, he did it on purpose.

……

The three drank and chatted.

The last time I wanted to test Iwahashi Shinichi, but after it turned out to be self-defeating, Komuro Tetsuya didn't want to take the initiative to lean over for a while.But he didn't expect that Lin Jiashu, who had been talking happily and had a good relationship these days, would hear this name from him.

Lin Jiashu mentioned that he will cooperate with Tetsuya Komuro in a limited group. However, the two belong to different record labels. If they want to cooperate, they have to obtain the consent of the heads of their respective labels.

They belong to the same record company system, so it should be much easier to coordinate than those belonging to different record companies.However, if you really want to do it, you have to discuss it.

However, this is just a trivial matter.

If it's just Lin Jiashu and Komuro Tetsuya working together, both of them are considered to be famous in the record company. When Sony signed X, they also promised to give the band the greatest autonomy. It may not be impossible for the two to work together.

The reason why I think of Shinichi Iwahashi is because there is Takamizawa Toshihiko from THE ALFEE.

To break through the difference between Sony and Polly Jiayin, and let three people form a temporary limited combination, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

Komuro Tetsuya and Lin Jiashu are not the kind of musicians who only focus on making music. They have their own views on how to behave in the world, and they also have the courage to deal with record companies.But Takamizawa Toshihiko is a pure musician, innocent and ideal, and at the same time helpless about troublesome things.

If Takamizawa Toshihiko quits by himself, the two of them join forces and have the confidence to try.But if you want to achieve a three-person cooperation, you need a strong character to clear away the difficulties.

As for Shinichi Iwahashi, who is able to link up the record industry to co-produce, he not only has such ability, but at the same time, because he is the one who set this precedent, if he comes forward, he will also occupy a name.

The matter of "cooperation" has not never appeared in the minds of Komuro Tetsuya, Lin Jiashu, and Takamizawa Toshihiko.It's just that they are still hesitating between themselves. The two people belonging to the same parent company are hesitating how to say it, and the person belonging to another company is hesitating whether to let it go.

But Lin Jiashu thought of Yanqiao Shinichi.The name prompted him to be the first to say the word "cooperation".

In the end, what he didn't expect was Tetsuya Komuro's reaction when he heard the name.Komuro Tetsuya smiled and explained that he and Iwahashi Shinichi went out to drink and dance together a few days ago.

By the way, let Lin Jiashu know that Yanqiao Shenyi is a master of dancing.

"In terms of how to complete 'integration', Yanqiao-san is a top expert in the industry." Lin Jiashu said a wisecrack.

Yanqiao Shinichi continued this sentence, "Although I really want to say 'where' modestly, but I did such a thing." In this situation, rather than expressing that he just did something insignificant, it is more appropriate to accept it generously.

After all, it has indeed done something unprecedented.

"If this is done, singers who want to cooperate across companies in the future will also thank Iwahashi-kun for opening up this possibility." Tetsuya Komuro also expressed his admiration.

Yanqiao Shen smiled, "If you continue to listen, you will be in a trance."

Komuro Tetsuya joked with him, "Just in time, when Iwashi-san is in a good mood, I ask you to agree, and I will leave the rest to you."

"But I'm drinking." Yanqiao Shinichi also jokingly blocked the words, "I'm talking about this now, and when I sober up, I might have the cheek to say that I'm just bragging."

Lin Jiashu replied lightly and cleverly: "If you want to say that, then we will also thicken our skins and ask you again."

"So, has it come to the thick-skinned part?" Komuro Tetsuya smiled.He suddenly said with emotion, "However, originally, if I wasn't thick-skinned enough, I wouldn't have called Mr. Yanqiao."

There was something in the words, as if he was saying that he was too embarrassing to invite him one after another in his current generation.

"Then let me say that if you don't have a thick skin, you won't be able to come to the appointment."

Yanqiao Shenyi didn't suffer from his mouth, let alone let himself fall into other people's words.He paused, "However, I feel very honored that Komuro-san invited me. After coming here, there is also YOSHIKI-san, which is also very happy."

Tetsuya Komuro teased him, "It's amazing, I've been complimented."

"Cannibalism has a short mouth." Yanqiao Shinichi joked back to him, "...I'm just kidding. I really think so. When I heard "My Revolution", I was thinking, Komuro-san's song, for me There’s a new wind blowing in the industry.”

The cynical expression on Komuro Tetsuya's face disappeared, "Really?"

The song "My Revolution" made Watanabe Misato attract attention in 1986, and Komuro Tetsuya also became a composer who attracted attention.However, there is still some distance from being first-class recognized by the industry.

Yanqiao Shinichi praised him face to face, and sincerely, which of course made him care.Not only that, if he had heard what he said earlier, if he had known that Yanqiao Shenyi admired him, he would have stopped making fools of himself.

"Of course." Yanqiao Shinichi affirmed.He casually said, "Before, I suggested to Akina-san that if there is a chance, I should cooperate with Komuro-san. For this album, considering the overall style, otherwise, I will probably invite Komuro-san to sing."

"Then I will respond immediately." Komuro Tetsuya said with a smile, "...This is not drunk talk."

Lin Jiashu interjected, "I'm so envious."

He joked, "For a while, I don't know if I envy Zhong Sensang who is always thinking of her, or I envy Xiaoshisang for getting such recognition."

Shinichi Iwahashi simply replied, "If YOSHIKI-san composes for Akina-san, there must be a wonderful cooperation."
