Shinichi Iwahashi knows very few Taiwanese writers, and the chubby young man is undoubtedly the one he knows best.

However, the reason why Yasu Akimoto is listed as the first choice for cooperation is not because there is no one to choose except him.

If you are just looking for a script writer, it is naturally not difficult when there is already a project plan and Watanabe Manyumi's office is ready to throw money.

The reason why Qiu Yuanyasu was chosen is because in Iwahashi Shinichi's opinion, this chubby young man definitely has a hand in doing tricky shows.

This impression is not a day or two, when he first met Yasu Akimoto, and was dragged by this fat young man to fight in the clubs of Ginza and Roppongi, he felt that this fat young man was both slippery and cold.

Not only that, but there is also a kind of bad taste that is keen to watch as an observer after playing tricks on people.

This bit of bad taste was evident when Yasu Akimoto accepted his proposal to produce that friendship program with Fuji TV.

And now, if you want to make a tricky show, the eyes of the observer and the bad taste of playing tricks on people are essential.

It is precisely because he has long understood this that this time he wants to produce a tricky show, and in the selection of script writers, Iwahashi Shinichi listed this chubby young man as the first choice.

The framework of the show, Iwahashi Shinichi, is probably on board, and now he just wants to persuade Yasushi Akimoto to join the gang, and he doesn't need to tell him everything, just tell him the theme and general direction of the show.

Akimoto listened carefully and narrowed his eyes, "It's quite interesting." ”

All kinds of tricks on ordinary people, and then record their reactions and spread them out on TV, so that the audience can not only substitute the identity of the trickster to watch the fun, but also because the object of the trick is an ordinary person, so as to substitute themselves into the identity of the tricker, imagine what would happen if they encountered this situation.

In a sense, this is a "double-sided" whole person.

This kind of show with a bit of bad taste and making people appear in their original form is exactly what Yasuya Akimoto likes - after all, Shinichi Iwahashi also saw that this chubby young man would be interested, so he came to him on purpose.

"So, should Akimoto-san consider getting involved as well?"

The chubby young man is not a person who can be instigated to join the gang in just a few words, "Which TV station will the show do with then?"

Watanabe-san of the office has been working closely with TV Asahi lately. Shinichi Iwahashi replied to him.

Deliberately said this, which is a vague telling Akimoto Yasusu that this show was funded by Watanabe Manyumi Office first, and the plan and the script of the first one or two episodes were taken out first, and then the cooperation and time slot were negotiated with the TV station, rather than being produced through the TV station production bureau at the beginning.

"TV Asahi. Yasu Akimoto was thoughtful.

The chubby young man is a free body, not a producer exclusive to the production bureau of a TV station, so there is no dispute between Iwahashi Shinichi and pulling him in.

However, since the day this chubby young man entered the industry, the TV stations that he has worked closely with are Fuji and TBS, and he has also participated in several programs on NTV, and he has no contact with TV Asahi and TV Tokyo.

If I agree to Shinichi Iwahashi this time, it will be the first time I will participate in TV Asahi's program.

"If you want to do such a program, the investment is bound to be not small, and because it relies heavily on the script, it is obviously difficult to broadcast it as a regular file. "Iwahashi Shinichi is open and honest.

TV Asahi, whose ratings are at the bottom of the four major broadcasts, Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe sent the band Heavenly Kingdom, a prime ratings program.

With the success of the band, the two of them now have a good relationship with TV Asahi.

There is a high-rated program funded by U-MIZ that is there, and then I take a new book to negotiate with TV Asahi, and the words are naturally easier to say than when I first came to the door, but the more so, the more cautious Shinichi Iwahashi and Watanabe Manyumi became.

As an office that relies on the TV station for food, what kind of friendship with the TV station is too ridiculous, investing too much in the program, overturning the car, and the wind review on the TV station has not been slowed down for a long time.

Besides, not to mention the relationship with the TV station, the firm wants to invest real money, and the amount is not small.

What we want to do this time is a variety show, and we can't use "choosing newcomers" as bait to pull other firms in like a talent show, and it's not okay if you're not careful.

"Regardless of whether Asahi TV will sell the schedule and what kind of schedule it will sell, Watanabe-san of the office is also worried that if the response is not good after the show is made, there will be a lot of trouble in the future. ”

The difference between doing variety shows and talent shows is reflected in this aspect.

Even if the ratings of the talent show are not good, it is relatively easy to make it difficult to produce by insisting on completing the schedule for half a year.

But if the variety show has a bad response, it is simply to do it while pinching the neck and waiting for the day when the half is cut.

"So, I consulted with Watanabe-san at the office, and I planned to prepare a script that would last about two hours, and then take the script and negotiate with TV Asahi. ”

Shinnichi Iwahashi said that he and Watanabe Manyumi were going to say, "Let's do one or two special programs to test the waters, and then decide whether to regularize the program based on the audience's feedback." ”

Of course, testing the waters with a special program first is something else to consider for Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe. If the feedback on the special program is very good, on the one hand, TV Asahi will be more confident in regularizing the program.

On the other hand, if the program looks good at the prospects, it will be more confident when it goes to attract advertising sponsorship, and it will be easier to fall into the eyes of advertisers.

"Hmm. Akimoto nodded, his attitude still ambiguous.

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't immediately ask for an answer, "Anyway, please think about it carefully." If you can help us, this project will definitely be a great success. ”

His words were by no means flattering, but from the bottom of his heart.

......

After nine o'clock in the evening, the visiting guests said goodbye one after another.

Shinichi Iwahashi wasn't the first to go, but he didn't stay until the end either. Before leaving, he also took away today's souvenir - the single brought by the staff of the Misora Skylark Office.

There are a lot of them, and when you weigh them in your hand, there are always ten sheets.

I had no choice but to "spontaneously" promote the queen of singing later.

In a sense, this is also a kind of socialization. When Shinichi Iwahashi got the singles, he was already wondering where to send these records.

Toshiba Records' Nankawa producer and Shinichi Iwahashi said goodbye together, and each took their own record with them.

Shinichi Iwahashi learns that he came by taxi and invites him to hitchhike. The Nanchuan producer gladly accepted it and did not twist it at all. The two went down to the parking lot, where Iijima Sanchi was waiting.

Sitting in the car, Iwahashi Shinichi instructed Iijima Sanchi, "Send this Nankawa-san back first." ”

Nanchuan Producer reported the address, "Please, Miss Driver." His tone was hearty, and the chatty impression he left on Shinichi Iwahashi tonight hadn't changed at all.

Iijima Sanchi pretends to be her emotionless driver and honestly executes instructions.

On the way back to send the Nanchuan producer, he still talked a lot, in addition to music production, he also chatted about some things that he didn't have, and he couldn't close the conversation box when he opened it, on the one hand, the two of them chatted quite well in the fat young man's house just now.

On the other hand, it probably has something to do with the fact that he drank a lot of alcohol.

"Iwahashi-san has made idols and now bands, do you have any plans to produce solo singers in the future?" asked producer Nanche.

"Not yet. Iwahashi Shinichi replied.

So far, the only SOLO singer he wants to promote is Miwa-chan before the group.

"I thought I could get some inspiration from you. "Nanchuan producer is half joking and half serious.

He is in charge of the production of SOLO singers at Toshiba Records, the kind of music producer who is not responsible for creation and is rooted in the studio.

"It's a pity. Shin Iwahashi smiled, "I have zero experience in producing SOLO singers. ”...... If you really want to say it, you tried to sell Miwa-chan in the underground period but failed miserably, which is barely a bit of experience.

"Making SOLO singers is a completely different field. "The producer of Nanchuan didn't get the scripture he wanted, even so, he didn't mind, he felt it first.

"Now if you are not an idol, you can make your debut as a 'singer', although it is not impossible to get ahead, but it is not easy to be popular. To be honest, it feels like it's a mystery how SOLO singers are popular. ”

Whether it is a powerful person with impressive singing skills, or a talent that knows how to compose lyrics and music, these are not the keys to the decision.

If you really want to talk about it, this sentence also applies to idols or bands. Iwahashi said.

Xiaohong relies on support, and Dahong relies on life. In the entertainment world, the matter of coming out has always been mysterious.

"That's just as well. Nanchuan producer smiled.

He is a producer specializing in SOLO singers, and when he talks about the world, he also looks at the problem from a perspective that also revolves around SOLO singers, and for Shinichi Iwahashi, he is a new friend who can bring a relatively fresh perspective.

When Nankawa producers talk about the production of SOLO singers, they may not be seriously discussing with Shinichi Iwahashi about how SOLO singers are so popular, but Shinichi Iwahashi listens carefully.

Who knows when it's going to be used.

At this stage, the goal of the record label is to market the band, but it is impossible to specialize in the band format forever. Feng Shui takes turns, singing is squeezed by idols, and there will definitely be a day when the band tide rises.

Besides, when singing is in the ascendancy, there are also popular singers, and when idols are in their prime, there are also smash hit bands.

The music scene is generally diverse, and if a record company wants to go formal, it is impossible to launch only one type of artist, starting with a band, and it will definitely expand the scope of production in the future.

Shinichi Iwahashi himself may not be able to produce SOLO singers as a producer, but he must have some understanding of how to make SOLO singers.

Moreover, the words of the producer of Nanchuan also made Iwahashi Shinichi thoughtful.

When he met Miwa-chan, he changed to a band because the path of SOLO singers was difficult.

Since then, in the past few years, there have been several celebrities in both male and female solo singers, although they are relatively weak compared to the huge idol team and the bands that are growing in popularity.

SOLO singers are really mysterious if they want to become popular, and they are powerful people with first-class singing skills, or talented people who can write lyrics and songs, these cannot be the guarantee of becoming popular.

Driven by the producer of Nanchuan, he couldn't help but think about what the focus should be if he wanted to produce a SOLO singer.

For a rainy day.

......

Sending down the Nanchuan producer who can't close the conversation box as soon as it is opened, Iijima Sanchi turned around and sent Shinichi Iwahashi home.

After talking a lot, the atmosphere that was in full swing before suddenly changed, and even made Iwahashi Shinichi a little uncomfortable. In addition to him in the car, it was Iijima Sanchi, and he subconsciously looked at her.

Sanchi Iijima, who has made up her mind to be an emotionless driver, drives her car quietly.

The female driver that Iwahashi Shinichi impressed the most was the cute bun-faced Fuyumi Sakamoto that he met when he was a male driver for Mori Shinichi.

As a disciple of the famous composer Inomata Gongji, Fuyumi Sakamoto was obviously highly valued by her teacher, so she was entrusted with the important task of being a driver.

Not long after he resigned from Watanabe Productions and ended his career as an agent and driver, Fuyumi Sakamoto also ended his life as a disciple and driver, and was personally escorted by the official seal of Inomata, and now he is a new star who has appeared in the Red and White Song Club.

Since ancient times, drivers have produced talents.

Iwahashi Shinichi pondered in his heart, half out of boredom, and half to get to know this Iijima Sanchi, and took the initiative to talk to her.

"You're doing your job, aren't you?"

Suddenly accosted by the young president, Iijima Sanchi was not in a hurry and switched from emotionless mode to normal mode, "Yes." ”

On the conversation, Iwahashi Shinichi has a ride or not, and chats with her casually. There's no theme, just talk about her record company, and ask a few more about her Sakai Masatoshi Office.

Iijima Sanchi listened to what he should have listened to, and said everything he could say - although she had been working as an office clerk before, and her work experience was not complicated, she had some ideas and opinions of her own in her heart.

She understands that an employee who had worked at Masashi Sakai for several years was suddenly introduced to a new company. For the new boss, what he wants to figure out most may not be what his ability is, but which side of his heart he wants.

Since Iwahashi Shinichi took the initiative to talk, Iijima Sanchi immediately decided, just as when Sakai Masatoshi asked her if she wanted to work at GenZo, she did not hesitate to choose to agree, and seized the opportunity.

Dispel the doubts of this new boss.

Now that GenZo is here, all she thinks about is how to get ahead in this company, and for this reason, she is also willing to charge for the company - as long as she is not tied to the position of an office clerk and can be old.

Before I knew it, the car drove to the downstairs where Iwahashi Shinichi lived.

At this time, he realized that he had chatted with Iijima Sanchi all the way. This employee who was sent by Masaki Yoshida has a well-organized mind, a clear speech, and not only that, but he speaks in a very measured manner.

has a brain but is not pretentious, not the kind of "smart person" who makes people annoying.

And the most powerful thing is that she was just an ordinary employee of Sakai Masashi Office before, and there was nothing bright on her resume.

It would be a pity if such a person was placed in a company and only acted as an office clerk to deal with something that anyone could do.

Iwahashi Shinichi was thoughtful.
