043. is a broker

As soon as Misa Watanabe arrived, there was a small commotion in the venue.

As the current helmsman of Watanabe Production, she and Watanabe Jin met in Weimo and started a business together, which led to the flourishing territory of Watanabe Production. Although the firm's reputation is not as good as before, she herself is still a highly respected figure in the entertainment industry.

The reason why this is the case is because most of the founders of the most well-known firms in the entertainment industry have worked in Watanabe Production.

Hiroshi Kitagawa, the founder of Genesys Studio of the Male Idol Kingdom, Yoyoshi Osato, the founder of AMUSE Agency, who signed the super band Nantian Stars, and Hiroo Hori, the founder of Horipro, who had a falling out with Jin Watanabe and his wife, and later took advantage of the feud between Watanabe Productions and TV stations, and relied on "STAR! Birth" and Yamaguchi Momoe's success.

The founders of these three large offices were all the younger brothers of Shin Watanabe and his wife in the past.

Although it was the apprentices who ended the master's prosperity, the situation of the apprentices starving the master to death did not happen, although the master had less to eat, and now Watanabe Misa spoke, there is always a little face in it.

As soon as she came, the guests, from the office, not from the office, and people with a little face, all spontaneously walked up to her and greeted her. The young people who are not qualified to show up are a little farther away, greeting her, and watching the excitement caused by the arrival of the president.

Watanabe Misa was followed by two or three people, one of whom was a woman about thirty years old, whose eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Watanabe Misa, and judging by her age, she was her eldest daughter.

Mr. and Mrs. Watanabe Jin have two daughters, the eldest daughter is called Miki, after graduating from university, he first went to Fuji TV, which has a good relationship with Watanabe Production, and later returned to Watanabe Production, and married her husband who is also a producer of Fuji TV, and now she has changed her husband's surname to "Miki Yoshida".

The youngest daughter heard that her name is Wan Yumi, who just graduated from college, and now she is also working at Watanabe Production, and she is not married yet.

The senior management of Watanabe Production led the way in front and led Misa Watanabe to the upper seat in the venue, and the big-name singer Shinichi Mori, who came in with Misa Watanabe, accompanied him.

"Let's go say hello too. Sekimura greeted Shinichi Iwahashi.

The two approached and stepped forward, Sekimura bowed first, and Iwahashi Shinichi also lowered his head when he saw this.

"Guan Village, hard work. Misa Watanabe could call his name. As Bu Shiming's agent, in the firm, Sekimura is also a bit of a figure.

After greeting Sekimura, Watanabe Misa's gaze paused slightly on Shinichi Iwahashi behind him, probably feeling angry. After all, she hasn't delegated power yet, and when recruiting new people, she always has to go through her face.

"Is it a newcomer who just signed a contract?"

Suddenly clicked, Iwahashi Shinichi hesitated. Just as he was about to reply, Sekimura rushed back first: "It's the agent." ”

The answer was vague, but it was not faulty. Iwahashi Shinichi was supposed to follow in, but at this time, he also got off the donkey, and once again owed his body, indicating his acquiescence.

"Agent?" Watanabe Misa looked at him again and smiled slightly, "With such a decent appearance, I thought it was an actor who had just signed a contract." ”

Correct the use of this word wonderfully, Iwahashi Shinichi's face, even if he went to play the puppet army, he also had an undercover demeanor.

The advantage is that it looks trustworthy to older people, so even though it is younger, it is easier to talk about things, which is not good...... It's not bad, it can only be said that in the eyes of some girls, it's a little outdated and old-fashioned.

However, it's still nice to be an agent and work behind the scenes all day.

"Well, let's do it. When we met for the first time, Misa Watanabe gave me a kind word of encouragement.

This kind attitude is due to Watanabe Production's reputation for humane management, and the Watanabe Jin couple are also known for their kindness towards employees and signed artists.

In 1977, Candies, an idol group under Watanabe Productions, decided to retire and disbanded at the height of their popularity.

When they made such a decision, they knew that they could not be saved, so Watanabe Jin said to them, "It's hard work", and thanked them for their efforts over the years, and the two sides got together and dispersed.

In this way, after leaving behind the famous saying that "I want to live the life of an ordinary woman" (although they all came back after a few years), the following year in 1978, the group held a 55,000-person disbandment concert at Korakuen Stadium, saying goodbye to the scenery, leaving behind a legendary art career that is still missed by fans to this day.

When Candies was on the rise, it was also the time for PINK LADY to debut.

PINK LDAY became a hit when they debuted, and Candies is also moving forward solidly and has a group of loyal fans. The two record companies also sell formula rival settings, and the two groups are compared to the combination of Momoe Yamaguchi and Junko Sakurada - in the anime "Crayon Shin-chan", there was also a series in which Hiroshi and Miya argued about the two combinations.

Of course, in terms of sales, it is always PINK LADY who is crushing Candies.

When Candies released their penultimate single before the disbandment, PINK LADY was a bit "unkind" and chose to release their own work on the same day, which is their famous song "UFO", vowing to face it head-on.

As a result, PINK LADY, which already has several million-dollar singles, won a big victory, and in the end, before Candies disbanded, the hat of "second child" was put on their heads.

However, feng shui takes turns.

The unprecedentedly popular PINK LADY, first the firm made a mistake and let them go to the United States, and then with the failure of the United States, their popularity plummeted, and the office didn't think about how to remedy it, but only wanted to squeeze their surplus value quickly.

Eventually, after the speed of light passed, PINK LADY had no choice but to announce its dissolution – and shortly after the dissolution, the firm also collapsed.

Interestingly, the venue for PINK LADY's disbandment concert was also chosen at Korakuen Stadium.

As a result, compared to the grand occasion when Candies disbanded, PINK LADY's disbandment concert was cold and bleak, and the cold and rainy weather on that day was even more pitiful.

For celebrities, a good firm decision-maker is extremely important.

Shortly after the dissolution of Candies, Momoe Yamaguchi also retired—and of course, her legend is also thanks to the generosity of her HORIPRO.

Wai Hori, the founder of HORIPRO, although he later had some unpleasant trouble with Watanabe Jin and his wife, but he did learn a lot of experience in Watanabe Production, and when he became independent, he was not weak by Watanabe Production how to take advantage of his weakness to kill him, which also reflects the generosity and kindness of Watanabe Jin and his wife.

It may be difficult for Watanabe Productions to return to a first-class studio, but as long as the prestige accumulated by the older generation remains, there is really no way out.

"Yes, thank you very much. Even if Misa Watanabe said casually, in front of the superiors, Iwahashi Shinichi must maintain enough respect. Of course, this respect is also from the heart.

At the beginning, the bare-handed Watanabe Jin couple was also like him now, starting from the discovery of singers, and came step by step. Since the goal is to be an agent, the couple is a role model to follow.

Watanabe's attention only lingered for a moment, and was attracted by Miwa Yoshida, who was singing on stage, "This kid seems to have never seen it before." ”
