560. want to be in the limelight

Watanabe Manyumi is not so naΓ―ve that she can't tell the difference between politeness and sincerity.

However, she will not assert in her heart that she will not have any contact with the Burning Department in the future. In the plastics industry, there are no permanent enemies.

Even so, she knew better in her heart that if there was really a day when she had to deal with Zhou Fang Yuxiong...... There is never a free lunch in the world, but Zhou Fang Yuxiong's lunch must be extraordinarily expensive.

However, asking for help must come at a cost, which Watanabe has understood since she was a child.

When it comes to the day when she has to deal with her, she will also weigh the pros and cons.

It's not terrible to have to pay a price to get something, it's terrible that no matter what you do, it won't help.

Yoyoshi Osato thought through the inside story, understood how bad the previous situation was, and knew how important Shinichi Iwahashi's role was in this, and praised Shinichi Iwahashi to Manyumi Watanabe.

The business of the industry is to see the move.

But what Iwahashi Shinichi demolished was the trick of people like Zhou Fang Yuxiong.

Watanabe Manyumi accepts Yoyoshi Osato's praise for Iwahashi Shinichi on this side, and on the other side, protects Iwahashi Shinichi as he promised him before.

After reconciling with Zhou Fang Yuxiong, the matter came to an end. Watanabe Manyumi put aside this confrontation, and as long as it hasn't happened yet, put it aside, the important thing is the present.

This time I came to visit Yoyoshi Osato, because of the movie "Kitchen" produced by her office.

Needless to say, the heroine must be Izumi Inamura. During the previous trip to Osaka, Ishihara of the Cosmos Theater Troupe helped to make peace, and Watanabe Manyumi sent the script to Tomio Umezawa's troupe, asked him to read the script, and persuaded him several times, and finally finalized the role of the evolutionary mother of Tomio Umezawa.

This role can be said to be the central character, the most important thing.

It wasn't until Tomio Umezawa nodded in agreement that Watanabe Manyumi breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the actor Yuichi, it was not so difficult to choose, and Watanabe Manyumi's office organized a small audition, and AMUSE's Osato Yoyoshi knew about it and sent the newcomer from his company to the interview.

In the end, the selected actor is a newcomer under AMUSE.

His name is Masaharu Fukuyama.

Watanabe Manyumi and Yoyoyoshi Osato were chatting about DREAMS COME TRUE to kill time, and after a while, the agent led a young man over.

The young man was tall and well-proportioned, and he followed behind the medium-sized agent, and was lined more upright.

"President, Watanabe-san. ”

The agent greeted the two people who were talking happily, "Fukuyama-kun is here." ”

AMUSE held an actor audition for ordinary people last year, and Masaharu Fukuyama made his debut from this audition. He was not yet 20 years old, was born in the countryside of Nagasaki, and worked as an office worker for a few months after graduating from high school.

Masaharu Fukuyama has only been in the industry for a few months, and the only experience he has so far as to be an actor is participating in the movie "Just 5G" starring Yasuko Tomita, a senior of the same firm, in which he played a little Ah Fei.

After being introduced by his agent, Masaharu Fukuyama bowed and greeted his own president, as well as the president who met for the first time.

It was not Masaharu Fukuyama who was decided to play the leading actor, but director Jun Ichikawa.

Originally, with the meaning of Watanabe Manyumi, Izumi Inamura was an inexperienced newcomer, and in the choice of the leading actor, she remembered to use someone with some acting experience to facilitate bringing Izumi Inamura into the play.

However, Jun Ichikawa has the opposite opinion and prefers inexperienced rookie actors.

"Kitchen", the hero and heroine themselves are the kind of people who pay attention to their own hearts, but they don't care about the outside world, they seem to be close, but they are difficult to really get close, not only that, but they also have nothing to do with words like "sleek and old".

In the words of Watanabe Manyumi, he is a young man with a little "unreliable" temperament.

And something that is unreliable is an erratic atmosphere.

Since Izumi Inamura has no acting experience, Ichikawa Jungmy thinks that instead of using a male actor with solid acting skills to bring her into the play, it is better to use the somewhat unreliable sense of youth that comes with a rookie actor and choose a newcomer who is similar to Izumi Inamura to play.

Watanabe Manyumi doesn't understand movies, but she's not the kind of boss who will point fingers in areas she doesn't understand, and Ichikawa Jun proposed it, and Shunji Iwai, who was his partner, also agreed, and since that was the case, he listened to their opinions.

In the end, it was Masaharu Fukuyama, who had only one movie performance experience.

Masaharu Fukuyama finished greeting and straightened up.

Watanabe looked at him a little more. This young man, who was taken in by Ichikawa Jun at a glance after trying the play, has a handsome face, but at first glance it is not amazing, but the more you look at it, the more flavorful it becomes.

Masaharu Fukuyama had just arrived in Tokyo from the countryside of Nagasaki, and on such a stage as Tokyo, those who had just arrived in Tokyo were like new actors who had just appeared on stage, and from time to time they showed a sense of youthfulness similar to that of new actors who had just appeared on stage.

However, although he looked young, he did not show timidity.

Looking at him carefully, although Watanabe Manyumi doesn't understand movies, she can understand why Ichikawa fell in love with him at a glance.

Masaharu Fukuyama was called over just to say hello to Manyumi Watanabe. After the greeting is finished, after the task is completed, just stand next to it and wait.

While waiting, I was a little curious to see this young female president chatting with President Dasato.

It's only been a few months since he started in the industry, and he has only just figured out the situation of his own office, and Masaharu Fukuyama knows very little about the entertainment industry, and even if he heard his agent say that this is the second lady of Watanabe Producer, his impression of these things is still vague.

He couldn't figure it out, so he retracted his gaze without caring about himself, waited for Yoyoshi Dazato and Watanabe to finish speaking, and after telling the agent that he could leave, he bowed again and followed the agent out of the office.

"Anyway, Fukuyama-kun will ask for a while. ”

After Masaharu Fukuyama went out with his agent, Yoyoshi Osato said to Watanabe Manyumi again.

Watanabe Manyumi said politely and casually mentioned: "However, this Fukuyama-kun does have the face of an actor." ”

"Oh?"

Watanabe Manyumi explained, "It's very attractive, and the overall temperament is good. ”

"That's right. Yoyoshi Osato, with a smile, said, "I thought so when I got the selection materials for Mr. Fukuyama. So, it was immediately decided to sign him. ”

said, and mentioned it as an interesting thing, "However, Fukuyama-kun's registration form was filled out in a blur, and he himself seemed to have the idea of casually voting, and he didn't have a strong desire to be an actor at first." ”

According to him," Yoyoshi Osato, the more he said, the more interesting he became, "I wanted to be an actor because I could be in the limelight." ”

Watanabe Manyumi laughed when she heard this, "So that's the case?"

"About half of it is true, and the other side is joking. Fukuyama-kun looks pretty cool, cute and joking. Yoyoshi Osato told Watanabe Manyumi, "This Fukuyama-kun came to Tokyo because he resigned as a musician." ”

"Musician?" "Watanabe Manyumi was a little interested.

"Mr. Fukuyama was in a band in Nagasaki and worked for a while after graduating from high school, but he quit his job and came to Tokyo because he still wanted to do something music-related. ”

As a result, he debuted as an actor. ”

"That's right. Yoyoshi Osato nodded, "The road of male SOLO is not easy." Although Fukuyama-kun can write his own songs, the level is still lacking, and the style is not the current popularity, so it is not easy to get ahead. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head around, half jokingly, and brought it up, "Iwahashi-kun hasn't made a male SOLO yet, right? I kind of want to hear what he thinks of the SOLO singer market." ”

Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "I'd like to hear about it too." ”

Although Shin Iwahashi was not present, he had a strong presence from beginning to end.

However, the conversation did not continue and turned to other things in the industry.

Since Watanabe Manyumi became independent, he has had a good relationship with AMUSE, and the two sides are willing to exchange information that they can say.

New topics are opening up.

Yoyoshi Dazato was busy with business, and Watanabe Manyumi was not much worse, so she didn't continue to talk for too long, and after a while, she got up to say goodbye.

In the afternoon, Watanabe Manyumi also made an appointment to visit the producer Fujimoto of TV Asahi. In order to discuss the tricky show proposed by Shinichi Iwahashi.

The two of them had reached an agreement in advance to make one or two special programs on the TV station, and now, she went to negotiate with the TV station with this goal.

DREAMS COME TRUE'S ALBUM WAS A HIT, AND SALES WERE ALSO QUITE IMPRESSIVE.

2,800 yen for an album, and until now, this "LOVE GOES ON... The total sales volume has exceeded 200,000 copies, and the sales volume is nearly 600 million yen.

And this number is still increasing, with this popularity and sales momentum, in this era of long-term sales, it is not a fantasy to see this album on the charts all year round, and the final sales can sell at least 500,000 copies, and it is not a dream to be higher.

With the sales of 500,000 copies, the office has made a lot of money by relying on DREAMS COME TRUE.

Whether it's investing in the movie "Kitchen" or making a new tricky show, it's all about this cash cow.

In addition, there are also various royalty benefits brought by dominating the radio on-demand list and making a big splash in karaoke.

U-MIZ's commission is not exaggerated, and it is quite modest in the industry, so when Watanabe Manyumi made a lot of money with DREAMS COME TRUE's ability to attract money, the three members of the band also earned a lot this time.

Miwa-chan, who covers all the lyrics and more than half of the composition on this album, is still the most profitable in the team, and Shinichi Iwahashi, who is not involved in the creation, gets about the same amount of money as Brother Nakamura by virtue of his status as a producer.

However, as a producer, Shinichi Iwahashi, except for the part he received as a member and arranger, the majority of the money was distributed directly from sales, so he would not have a conflict with Brother Nakamura because he received a lot of money for his work.

γ€ŠLOVE GOES ON... At the same time as the big sell, Shinichi Iwahashi, who always told Watanabe Manyumi that he couldn't save money, was temporarily rich at hand-

Before he finds a way to spend this royalty again.

......

Watanabe Manyumi was the main "outside" and went to contact Asahi TV, and Iwahashi Shinichi was the main "inside" and made the script of this show.

A few days ago, Iwahashi Shinichi told Akimoto Yasusu about the tricky show, and the fat young man didn't give a reply at the time, but he didn't delay it for too long, and within three days, he contacted Iwahashi Shinichi and asked him to drink.

Roppongi carries the handle Akimoto Yasu, who did not change his lifestyle because he was trapped by Takai Masiko, and he is still the same as before, starting at 7 o'clock in the evening and constantly changing shops until the early hours of the morning.

Iwahashi Shinyi begged someone to do something, and naturally he would not drink less wine, and together with the fat young man, he changed four stores one after another. changed from "Yamei Sauce" to "Yayi Sauce", full of wine and food, the fat young man finally relented and agreed to be this alliance.

That's how the people in black in the entertainment industry are like this, how many shows and collaborations are decided while drinking wine.

pulled Akimoto Yasushi into the field, and Iwahashi Shinichi also relaxed a lot.

Although he was in charge of writing projects, he had never learned how to write a script, so he knew almost nothing about it. Although he has seen a lot of this thing, he will never do it if he asks him to do it.

It's like saying that Miwa-chan's talent only has one foot, and someone must help turn her invisible talent into tangible to make her run, and the tricky show that Iwahashi Shinichi is preparing to produce only has "one foot".

It wasn't until a professional script writer like Yasushi Akimoto came in that he could "run".

It was also because of the confirmation of Yasushi Akimoto's entry that Watanabe Manyumi began to contact Asahi TV.

Now that the band Heaven has already launched, the new show is not to be delayed, and the sooner it can be picked up, the better. She first took the plan to negotiate with Asahi TV, and Shinichi Iwahashi made the script with the fat young man as soon as possible.

......

It's not a day off, there are not many people in the evening screening hall, and the audience seats are quite scattered in the huge screening hall.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Akina Nakamori sat in this row, there were just two of them nearby, the movie started, the lights dimmed, and no one who watched the movie at the same time could not have imagined that there was a Taopu Star in the same screening hall with them.

Falling in love with a Taopu Star, the process is actually no different from other ordinary couples, I want to watch movies together, I want to play with the projects of the amusement park, and I want to go to delicious restaurants together......

However, because the other party is a Taopu Star who will cause a commotion when he appears in public, all the things that are "together" have to be hidden.

After the two of them talked, the way they got along didn't change much.

The most commonly used way of dating is still to meet in a rich residential area after work at night, and occasionally Shinichi Iwahashi works overtime at the production company, and Akina Nakamori brings a bit of office love mentality to his office.

Tonight, the two said yes and went to the movies together.

When the movie started, the lights dimmed, and Akina Nakamori didn't look at the big screen, but leaned over to Shinichi Iwahashi, looked at his face, and sat up straight with a smile, focusing on the movie in front of him.

Iwahashi couldn't guess what his Momopstar girlfriend wanted to do just now, and he followed her example and leaned his face towards her.

As a result, he was gently pushed by Akina Nakamori, and he had no choice but to set his sights on the big screen.
