324. The Final Word
Yes. Iwahashi nodded cautiously.
Asked Watanabe Manyumi, "Do you have any other ideas?"
If the brokerage contract of DERAMS COME TRUE is in the hands of another office, and it is a different matter if it is given to U-MIZ, a small store that has just opened, it is necessary to consider whether the record company and the studio are compatible.
On the premise of determining the firm first, the four record companies that finally entered the finals do not have to worry about this.
Among these four record companies, Watanabe Manyumi has no special preference for any of them, so Shinichi Iwahashi's thoughts have invisibly influenced her thoughts and made her add a little bit to CBS Sony in her heart.
Once you pay special attention to a particular company, things can make all the difference. This special attention has the potential to magnify the company's shortcomings and knock them out – if not, then they make the cut.
"CBS Sony is really good. Watanabe said.
"Strength is one of them, and the conditions they give are more sincere. ”
Shinichi Iwahashi has a good memory, and he can immediately remember the documents he had read before, "Of the four companies, CBS Sony is the most open to the production rights of the band, and in addition, the expected debut production fee is also the highest - although it is not like an idol to spend money on his debut, but it never hurts to have a high budget." ”
"It costs a lot more to package an idol's debut than to launch a band. Watanabe smiled.
When idols debut, they not only have to seek the cooperation of well-known songwriters, but also customize all kinds of singing costumes, and they have to go to the TV station to get close to each other, and every step is money.
In contrast, a band that can do the lyrics and arrangers himself, and who can do the instruments himself, and who doesn't need to prepare an extra thirty dresses to play songs, and who keeps bombarding his face on TV and magazines, is simply a first-class thrift.
"That's right. Shinichi Iwahashi agreed. And he added, "However, in the end, it was CBS Sony's tolerance that made me decide, which is important to me and to you." ”
THE IMPORTANCE OF TOLERANCE TO DREAMS COME TRUE IS OBVIOUS, BUT HE ADDS TO THE U-MIZ...... Watanabe's heart moved, guessed what he meant, and nodded in acknowledgement, "U-MIZ is too weak. ”
This is an unavoidable problem, and although this is a separate office from Watanabe Productions, Watanabe Productions itself has been depleted, and U-MIZ's most successful work so far is the band Heaven, which has invested in all of its productions.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that U-MIZ is planning to dig the first pot of gold from the show "Kingdom of Heaven" by the band.
The partnership between the studio and the record company is sometimes very close, otherwise one side is too strong and it will end up in a bad situation.
"At first, I was hesitating whether it should be a 'strong and weak combination' or a 'weak combination'. "U-MIZ is too weak, and the record company is too strong, which is a bit bad for me. ”
"But it's not appropriate to be too vulnerable. Shinichi Iwahashi said what she didn't finish, "You and I alone are enough for such a thing as the weak joining forces. ”
Hearing him say this, Watanabe Manyumi smiled.
"Still, Manyumi-san. He said, "Compared with the drama of the weak and the weak working together, at this stage, U-MIZ is still more suitable to cooperate with the strong." As you said, bands are not the same as idols. ”
Idols are exposed to a variety of jobs, and bands focus almost exclusively on music. The route of idols is jointly formulated by the studio and the record company, and the style of the band depends more on the band itself.
Unlike idols, the band has been in a state of almost finished products since its debut. Because of this difference, there are not many opportunities for disagreement between the firm and the record company, and the weakness of the weak firm is not a problem. This weakness, in turn, can be an advantage.
Of course, it is the strong, not the dictator. This is also the meaning of Shinichi Iwahashi's special emphasis on CBS Sony's tolerance.
"You're right. ”
The balance in Watanabe's heart finally tilted to the side of CBS Sony.
The most important "you and me" opinion was agreed, and the matter was almost half decided.
After that, Shinichi Iwahashi will be the representative and go to talk with Brother Nakamura and Miwa-chan, and if they agree, the next step is CBS Sony, U-MIZ, and DREAMS COME TRUE.
......
After saying this, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't stay with Watanabe Manyumi for a long time, but first went to report the results of the negotiations to Brother Nakamura and Miwa-chan.
Miwa-chan entrusts all this to Shinichi Iwahashi, as long as the record company doesn't let her do what she is not good at, or persuade her to give up her bizarre aesthetic - she herself doesn't think it's weird at all, then the vote that belongs to her is whatever Shinichi Iwahashi votes.
Having worked as a professional studio musician, the ambitious Masato Nakamura thinks a little more. However, there is nothing to question about the conditions of CBS Sony. Not only that, but he yearns for overseas, and because he is ambitious, it is much better to join a company with strength and overseas business than to join a medium-sized company.
In the final analysis, their band is not three laymen who don't know anything and rush in, the two male musicians are both behind-the-scenes people, and they are bound to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
"Then CBS Sony unanimously passed, so decided?"
Iwahashi Shinichi listened to the opinions of the two people, and finally made the final decision.
"It's decided-" Miwa-chan, who was almost dazzled at the end of the game, was quite relieved in the refreshment at this moment.
It's not easy to be picked by someone, and it's not easy to pick by yourself.
"After the decision is made, it will be a second meeting. Nakamura Masato thought of something and asked Iwahashi Shinichi, "Shinich-kun, do you still want to wear a hood during the interview?"
Iwahashi Shin didn't smile at it, and said deliberately: "Isn't it good for Masato Sang to be this leader again." ”
"Spare me. Masato Nakamura made an expression of being hit by something.
Mei and Chan listened to the two of them coming and going, and first thought it was very interesting, and then thought that the problem of this hood could not be solved if it was not solved, and also asked: "Shen Yijun will not really wear a hood to participate in the second negotiation, right?"
How can it be.
Sooner or later, the puzzle that should be revealed will be revealed.
......
After feedback on the results of the talks, the three-way talks were held on Tuesday of the following week.
On Saturday night, the band Heavenly Kingdom aired its first episode since entering April. Despite the increase in advertisers and the availability of funds, the studio, which has already made a lasting impression on the audience, has not changed much.
It's still a familiar record stage, or it's a familiar one that scares you suddenly.
After DREAMS COME TRUE won the championship and left the stage, Shinichi Iwahashi did not sit on the representative seat again, and took this opportunity to withdraw from the front of the band Heavenly Kingdom and completely retreat behind the scenes.
The absence of people in front of the stage did not delay him from continuing to be the mastermind behind the scenes, and he naturally would not be absent from the regular meeting on Monday.
DREAMS COME TRUE's agency contract was won by Watanabe Manyumi's U-MIZ, and the record contract was in favor of CBS Sony, which made Kazuo Hirai and Watanabe Manyumi temporarily become "allies" in this conference room.
After the meeting ended, Kazuo Hirai specially waited for Watanabe Manyumi to greet her and make a brief communication about tomorrow's meeting.
