674. A rift
After the meeting, Iwahashi Shinichi sent Daikoku Maki to the elevator and said goodbye to her.
Although the signing of the contract was not decided on the spot, both sides were aware of it and were confident that they had conveyed their thoughts and intentions to each other.
If you already know it in your heart, it will be calm and natural. This sense of relaxation is actually a kind of quiet trust.
Not only that, but for these two people, this meeting seemed to be very meaningful.
When I was 17 years old, I saw a music festival planned by Shinichi Iwahashi and decided that I would come to Tokyo and meet him after graduating from high school.
After experiencing being ridiculed and degraded, self-confidence being torn apart, and almost falling into the trap of "humiliating you for your own good", I finally met the person I once wanted to meet, and regained my natural confidence from him.
The humiliation of Nagato Daiyuki made Daikoku Maki feel painful, and having such an experience made Iwahashi Shinichi even more valuable.
For Daikoku Maki, confirming that Iwahashi-san is "Iwahashi-san" is both a dream come true when she was 17 years old and a new start for her new dream when she was 20 years old.
But for Shinichi Iwahashi, this meeting with Daikoku Maki was unprecedented, and he dropped all the vests he had worn since he entered the industry in front of strangers who didn't know his details.
It's never been so cool.
And the reason why Daihei Moji was able to guess all his identities when he was so far away from him was because from the first time he appeared in her sight, to today's meeting, everything was seen by her.
This girl from Hokkaido has been watching him for three years inadvertently.
For Shinichi Iwahashi, this meeting with Daikokumo is of special significance.
Although it was cool to drop the vest, Daikoku Maki told him that he had made up his mind to come to Tokyo after watching the music festival, and hearing this made Iwahashi Shinichi feel warm in his heart.
It was as if the seeds sown by the music festival at the beginning took root and sprouted in the heart of Daikokumo and grew a small seedling.
Maybe there would be no music festival, and Daikoku Maki would have come to Tokyo one day, but because of the music festival, the little seedlings that grew in her heart brought her to herself.
This made Shinichi Iwahashi realize the significance of the festival even more.
He even began to wonder in his heart whether to hold another NAONのYAON, or even a music festival that is not limited to gender. Not only that, but it is also necessary to make the scale of the festival larger, make it a regular program once a year, and even cooperate with TV stations to broadcast the festival on TV.
Sow more seeds, and the seeds fall into good soil and bear fruit.
Compared to the first time I did NAONのYAON, if I did it again, it would be much easier than then.
Iwahashi Shinichi is very optimistic about Daikoku Moji's talents, and is willing to open the door to welcome her to join at any time. The reason why it wasn't determined on the spot this time was because of the Daikokumo Age.
He sensed that there was something unspeakable in Daikokumoki's heart, and instead of urging her to make a decision, he was ready to wait patiently.
Of course, this kind of patience is also a kind of quiet self-confidence.
He is confident that he will sign Daikoku Moji, and he is also confident that Daikoku Moji has made a decision in his heart.
I had a chance encounter with Daikoku Moki backstage at ZARD's performance before, and this incident surprised Iwahashi when he first remembered it. But a little aftertaste, from which I realized the self-esteem and character of the Great Black Moji.
It was because of her self-esteem and character that she did not mention a single word about herself backstage at that meeting, but chose to send the audition tape to the record company later.
It is also because he has seen her self-esteem and character that Iwahashi Shinichi wants to protect this self-esteem and character even more.
So, even though it's not yet the standard for debut, the path of a solo singer is also difficult, and she doesn't have the beauty that can make the audience tolerate...... None of this is a problem.
The most important thing is not to find fault with her and belittle her to "bargain", but to affirm her value first.
Whenever you discover a person's excellence and want to sell her excellence, you must first affirm her excellence.
This is the principle that Iwahashi has always adhered to since Shinichi Iwahashi decided to enter the industry and became an agent for Miwa-chan.
......
It had been a few days since the incident, and Tetsuro Oda still didn't know how to contact Daikokuro Moki. Even if you make a phone call, how do you say it?
During this time, he worked with Ikeda twice more in the studio. When Ikeda saw him, he was very restrained and did not ask how things were going on with Daikoku Maki, but Oda Tetsuro felt uncomfortable when he saw Ikeda.
For this reason, Tetsuro Oda did not even want to attend the recording with Ikeda. His personality is one that would rather make himself unhappy than unhappy others, and it is impossible for him to let innocent Ikeda suffer unwanted emotions for no reason.
simply, I used lack of inspiration as an excuse, and I didn't go to the recording studio for a few days, and I wandered around alone to pass the time.
While killing time, he tried to kill the unhappiness in his heart when he talked to Nagato Daiyuki before.
On that day, after Ikeda introduced Daikoku Maki to the recording studio, Oda Tetsuro genuinely admired her and wanted to help her and say something nice to Nagato Daiyuki.
Tetsuro Oda never thinks that Daikoku Maki "can only be a harmony person".
Oda Tetsuro relied on a lot of energy, and the next day, he took the song that Daikoku Maki had helped sing, and went to find Nagato Daiyuki and asked him to listen to it.
"What is this?" said Nagato Daiyuki, although he took it, but his face hesitated.
Oda Tetsuro was asked by him, and he didn't know what to say, so he thought about it, "It's a good new song, so I asked someone to help sing it." ”
He paused, "Didn't you hear a girl's audition tape named Daikoku Moki here in Nagato-san?"
Hearing him mention Daikoku Moji, Nagato Daiyuki reacted first, and then remembered the girl who was like a chicken rib. Oda Tetsuro suddenly mentioned her, Nagato Daiyuki couldn't guess why, and his face was pleasant, "What's wrong?"
She was asked to sing this tune for her help. ”
Tetsuro Oda and Daiyuki Nagato said that they felt that this song was very suitable for the voice of Daikoku Maki, and that she was introduced by Ikeda, so they asked Ikeda to bring Daikoku Maki and help sing it.
Although he was not sophisticated, he was not a fool, and knew that it was inappropriate to push Ikeda to the front, so he took the matter on himself.
Nagato Daiyuki heard Oda Tetsuro's appreciation for Daikoku Maki's tone, and his heart became more and more unhappy.
Originally, a person like Daihei Moji, who had an ordinary appearance, an unruly personality, and didn't know the height of the sky, made him feel disgusted, and he wanted to beat her hard until all her edges and corners were polished, and she could be used for himself after she was obedient.
And now, Oda Tetsuro bypassed himself and took the initiative to ask Daikoku Moki for help, and after helping, he came to recommend this person to him who made him look down on him. Nagato Daiyuki also has a kind of unhappiness that Tetsuro Oda is good at asserting and disobedient.
A composer is a composer, and it's good to keep to one's own creation.
What kind of person to choose to debut and what song to use as the title song is a matter for the producer and the boss.
"Did you let Da Hei help sing a song sample?" Nagato Daiyuki was not happy in his heart, and he couldn't see it on his face, so he deliberately said: "That Da Hei sings a harmony or something, but he can do it." ”
Nagato Daiyuki's words confirm Daikoku's statement.
Oda Tetsuro shook his head, "Nagato-san, please listen to it first." This is not a sample, but she was asked to sing it officially. Daikoku-san's voice, even if he entered the recording studio, was not compromised at all. ”
"Really?"
Nagato Daiyuki was very calm, and listened to the music he brought. The tune is a good tune...... The voice is indeed a good voice. But there are so many people in the world who can sing, just a little good voice, what is there to be proud of?
It's better to stay behind the scenes and sing the backing vocals.
"I thought it was a surprise, and I looked forward to it, but it turned out to be the same as when I first met that Daikoku-san, and not only that, but because I entered the recording studio, there were more problems exposed. ”
After listening to the tune, Nagato Daiyuki said mercilessly.
The previous kind face was pleasant, just to talk to Oda Tetsuro at this moment.
"With all due respect, Oda-kun has an extraordinary genius in composition, but his vision in choosing newcomers is really not flattering. ”
Nagato Daiyuki affirmed Oda Tetsuro's ability as a "composer of BEING", but did not allow Oda Tetsuro to expand his power and become a powerful voice in BEING.
He connived at Tetsuro Oda, even if he broke a bone on his bicycle before the performance, so that he had to go to the TV station to apologize, he would not blame Tetsuro Oda for this, and sheltered Tetsuro Oda from the front......
In order to make him an artist forever.
Businessmen like Daiyuki Nagato think that they exist to manage these artists and sell their works for a good price.
Tetsuro Oda can do whatever he wants as an artist, but once he wants to touch something other than music, Nagato Daiyuki will try to make him understand that none of those things like him can do with the color of their socks.
Nagato Daiyuki is conniving at Oda Tetsuro, not putting on a boss's stand in front of him, and loving him like a younger brother.
But on the other hand, the boss claims to treat his employees as brothers, which means that the elder brother can ignore the rules and veto everything the younger brother does with his authority alone.
Tetsuro Oda was educated by Daiyuki Nagato.
Compared with the sarcastic and demeaning Daikokumoki, Nagato Daiyuki is much more gentle with Oda Tetsuro, even if he points out that he doesn't look at the eyes of newcomers, he still puts his firepower on this Daikokuomaki who "only has the ability to harmonize".
However, he came with optimism and expectations for Daikoku Moji, but he heard that Nagato Daiyuki kept counting how unbearable Daikoku Moji was, and if he wanted to think of the level of his debut, he had to polish it in his hands for at least a few years......
Oda Tetsuro felt sorry for Daikoku Moki in his heart, and he was unwilling to let his vision be denied like this. In addition, there is a subtle inferiority complex that I am not as good as the president of Nagato, and if it were not for the president of Nagato, I would not have my own subtle inferiority complex today.
However, in addition to the inferiority, there is also a little unconvinced, or the arrogance of musicians.
Is he really not good?
The matter of saying good things for Daikoku Moji has completely failed. Not only did he fail to help her, but Oda Tetsuro also left an inexplicable unhappiness in his heart during this exchange with Nagato Daiyuki.
That's how President Nagato thinks of Daikoku-san, so what does he think of me?
Tetsuro Oda didn't know how to contact Daikoku Maki, and he didn't feel comfortable facing Ikeda. I wanted to help but made a mess, and now even I am hesitating, not knowing what to do.
The more he procrastinated, hesitated, and avoided, the more he was forced to recall Nagato Daiyuki's conversation with him, as well as the talent of Daikoku Maki, whom he had personally seen in the studio.
On that day, everyone in the recording studio was also full of praise for Daikoku Moji.
Except for President Nagato, no one has been able to see through her shortcomings?
Oda Tetsuro kept chewing on the unhappiness in his heart, looking at it over and over again, interpreting one after another words, and the whole person kept sliding down, as if he was about to be sucked away by a black hole.
Until he received a call from Daikokumo Ki to him.
He hesitated to talk to Daihei Moji, but he didn't expect her to take the initiative to contact.
"About what happened before. ”
After the greetings, Dahei Moji took the initiative to get to the point.
Do you want to ask him, how is the situation?
Tetsuro Oda began to drum in his heart—he was thirty years old, nervous and uneasy like a teenager who was about to be asked questions by a teacher but had not reviewed.
"I'm so embarrassed. Daikoku Moki apologized to him.
Tetsuro Oda was stunned for a moment and did not say anything. I don't understand why she said that.
"Well, I sent the audition tape to the record company, and they invited me to an interview the other day. She explained.
"Ahh ”
Tetsuro Oda was unexpected. Hearing her say this, I had mixed feelings in my heart for a while.
I'm happy for her, but I'm sorry I can't work with her, I'm glad that she's appreciated, and I'm glad that my vision may not be as bad as President Nagado said.
Of course, I was relieved that the previous difficulties had disappeared.
"Congratulations, Daikoku-san. "Tetsuro Oda is sincere.
At the same time, I was really curious, "Which record company is it?"
"It's called GenZo," Daikoku Maki asked rhetorically, "Have you heard of it?"
Tetsuro Oda really hadn't heard of it.
Such a reaction was expected by Daikoku Moki, who happily introduced to Tetsuro Oda, "It's a very small record company, and it's normal that Oda-san hasn't heard of it." However, the head of the company, Iwahashi-san......"
"Iwahashi-san?"
"Yes, Iwahashi Shinichichi-san. I have a lot of respect for him, and when I was in high school, I went to Tokyo to see a music festival he planned, and I thought I would definitely meet him in the future. ”
The spirit of the whole person of the Great Black Moji has returned.
Oda Tetsuro listened to her confident and cheerful tone on the phone, and felt envious in his heart.
And that Iwahashi Shinichichi-san......
"I've caused a lot of trouble for you and Ikeda-san before. Daikoku Moki said on the phone, "I hope I can have the opportunity to thank you well." ”
"No, I didn't do anything. Tetsuro Oda deserves it.
But even so, after a phone call, before I knew it, I agreed on an appointment time, and he met with Ikeda and Daikoku Maki to have a meal together.
