(Two chapters in one)

On Monday, Shinichi Iwahashi appeared on TV Asahi again for a regular meeting of the band's Heavenly Kingdom.

The content of the meeting was as usual, neither missing anything when Iwahashi Shinichi was absent, nor anything more after Iwahashi Shinichi's return, and the current program was like getting on the right train, as long as no one died on the tracks or in the train, it could run so smoothly.

After the meeting, Kenichiro Nozaki of Kenne ran over to say hello to Shinichi Iwahashi. It's just been a week since he appeared, and this buddy's performance is like a reunion after a long absence.

From the broadcast of the show to the present, the weekly regular meeting, Shinichi Iwahashi was only absent last week, and the person who is always full of work occasionally takes a leave, which is particularly surprising.

It's like the salted fish author has made an unprecedented number of days, and some readers have asked if they have eaten the spring Xiaoyao pill.

"Iwahashi-san, if you want to say that the idol who has been in the spotlight recently, it has to be Sentaka Chisato. Kenichiro Nozaki and Watanabe Manyumi praised him for not counting, but when he saw him, he came again.

Watanabe Manyumi watched from the side, secretly holding back a smile.

Iwahashi Shinichi was the first time he heard it, and if Nozaki wanted to praise him, he accepted it, anyway, it's true that Chisato Moritaka is now in the limelight.

Nozaki Kenichiro is not a broken mouth, when he told Watanabe Manyumi about this, Kawabata Kichiichiro's article had just been released, Warner Vanguard was still waiting for a big move and refused to replenish on a large scale, and Nozaki Kenichiro was more impressed by this propaganda strategy.

But now, after the publicity from the magazine to the radio, the replenishment of Warner Pioneer is also in place, and the publicity effect has come out, and it has begun to be transformed into something more practical, and it is not only the idea of Shinichi Iwahashi that is praised, but the achievements of Chisato Moritaka.

"Iwahashi-san's whimsical tricks seem to be inexhaustible. Kenichiro Nozaki said, "I also said this to Manyumi's seniors before, it's really amazing. ”

He said it himself, and Watanabe Manyumi didn't need to hold back a smile and testified for him: "Yes. "Of course, if Iwahashi Shinichi is an alien, neither of them will ever say it again.

was caught by Nozaki and boasted wildly, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know what to say, and in order to break up this atmosphere, he turned his face to look at Watanabe Manyumi, revealing an expression of "Then why didn't you tell me?".

Watanabe Manyumi returned his salute with a smiling face that "happened to forget".

Kenichiro Nozaki had other arrangements for his itinerary, and after a few words of greeting, he left in a hurry. Since this year, Nozaki Kimi's actor career has basically entered a semi-suspended state, although he still has the identity of an actor, but more have begun to participate in the operation of the studio, and prepare for the official retirement and return to the office.

Originally, Kenichiro Nozaki envisioned that his career as an actor would be longer, but because he was attracted by the idea of Shinichi Iwahashi exposing his hole cards in the show, he took the initiative to invite Ying to join the production of the show as a representative of Kenne.

I wanted to see what other wonderful tricks Iwahashi Shinichi would have next, but through Iwahashi Shinichi, I learned more about the beauty of my job as a behind-the-scenes person, and the original idea of accumulating experience as an actor and going deep into the industry also seemed superficial.

Kenichiro Nozaki is eager to try and become a person who can bring fresh air to the industry.

Compared to Shinichi Iwahashi, Kenichiro Nozaki's start is a hundred times better than him. Such Kenichiro Nozaki has a kind of confidence that is completely different from Shinichi Iwahashi and has confidence.

Iwahashi Shinichi's self-confidence comes entirely from the momentum generated in the process of rushing forward.

......

The back of Kimi Nozaki looked imposing, like a tree growing straight, and Kazuo Hirai of CBS Sony looked at Kenichiro Nozaki, withdrew his gaze, walked up to Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe, and said hello.

"Good work, Iwahashi-san. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi said politely, and said: "After that, I have to go to CBS Sony, and today I have to choose the cover of the single, and I also have to pick the inside page of the album." ”

With less than two weeks left before the scheduled release date of DREAMS COME TRUE's debut single, production has already been completed, and when the cover of the single is decided, it will immediately enter the printing and pressing process.

The release of the debut album will be two weeks later, and with the release of the debut album, the band's national tour will also begin.

and Glico Pocky's commercial song was scheduled to be broadcast a week later, a few days before the release of the single, during the commercial time of the band's Heavenly Program, to give the audience a touch of oil in advance.

"I'm looking forward to the debut performance of DREAMS COME TRUE. Kazuo Hirai laughed. Unlike those who pronounce the band's name as "Dorimuzcom Bald", my uncle's pronunciation is very standard.

The band's name was pronounced correctly, which may be one of the reasons why the band finally chose to sign with CBS Sony (what?)

"This kind of mood, I'm Hirai-san and Watanabe-san, the three of us should be the same. Iwahashi Shinichi replied.

With the band as a bond, the three of them are now teammates on the same front.

Kazuo Hirai also wants to go back to CBS Sony, so next, Shinichi Iwahashi said goodbye to Manyumi Watanabe, got out of the TV station, stopped a taxi, and went to CBS Sony with Kazuo Hirai.

Fortunately, it's just a taxi instead of a ride, otherwise Iwahashi Shinichi rubbed the list of cars, and the name of the uncle-in-law would have to be added......

That's right.

However, because the taxi tickets given by CBS Sony to the staff were unusually generous, the taxi fare was paid by the uncle. In this way, it seems to have become a rubbing car again?

Forget it, the life of being able to rub the car is also commendable.

Even so, Iwahashi Shinichi also secretly thought that when the production of the 100,000 sheets of Senri Moritaka was received, the matter of buying a car would be put on the agenda. Anyway, it's convenient to have a car.

The previous insistence on not buying a car may not be just because of lack of money. Today, when installment payment is so convenient, even college students have to pay in installments to buy a car and drive it, and GENZO also has some money on his books, so he doesn't have to worry about emptying his family if he really wants to buy a small car.

The reason why it has been delayed until now, Mori Gao Qianli's performance has improved, and the company only considers buying a car when it wants to make a large amount of money, naturally in order to buy a better one.

The size is also the president of a production company, if you drive a Corolla to talk about work, in this era of looking at people first and horses first, respecting people first and clothes first, nine out of nine will be blinded.

......

For the work of selecting the cover and inner pages of the record, all three members of the band were present, and the staff in charge of the team were also there, and everyone brainstormed and discussed.

During the three days they were recuperating, CBS Sony washed out all the photos taken during the trip to London, and now they are piled up on the long table in the conference room, and they look at them one after another.

Miwa-chan is very fond of the photo of three people poking their heads out of the corner of the wall, trying to secretly observe but being betrayed by a tyrant man who is too big a target, and the team staff also likes this photo.

Through the photos, you can also feel the good, harmonious, and joyful atmosphere of the three people.

The cover of the signboard is naturally the most important, so it needs to be unanimously agreed by everyone.

And when it comes to the choice of inner pages, it is much more relaxed. Generally speaking, the cover should make the team nod, and the photos on the inside page should be based on the preferences of the three bands, and pick out their favorite photos.

A little fox who smiles all day long and loves to wear the aesthetic disaster clothes he designed on the stage, a bear with amazing faces, commonly known as having too rich facial expressions, and is more like a comic contestant than a musician, and the giraffe man at the end is even more terrifying, which is directly on the stage.

Such an atmosphere in the team is destined for their band, which has nothing to do with words like cool and handsome. Not only is the cover of the single happy, but the inside pages of the record are similar, and more than half of the selected photos are in a joyful atmosphere.

This is very different from the public's impression of the band as "cool and handsome, not talkative, and very gorgeous", which seems very popular.

In fact, the lyrics written by Miwa-chan are also like this, neither cynical nor philosophical about life, let alone a theme floating in the clouds, but always with ordinary people as the protagonist, with the theme of ordinary people's love and joy, which is unusually close to "people".

Iwahashi Shinichi has always regarded this bit of pyrotechnics in Miwa-chan's music as a valuable trait, and "So Happy, So Happy, So Happy, So Like!" was a big hit in the band Heaven precisely because it was a song that sang about ordinary people.

The song sung to ordinary people has received a response from ordinary people.

And the wonderful thing is that no matter what kind of person he is, he has the side of being an ordinary person.

Because of this importance, even if you sign a record label, when choosing a record label before signing a contract, Shinichi Iwahashi's first review condition is whether or not you can respect the style of the band.

If you have to let Miwa-chan be a lady, he and Brother Nakamura are both pretending to be cool brothers, and they must not take the train when they go out, which is absolutely impossible.

Although most of the selected photos have a joyful atmosphere, there is always a combination of movement and static, so a few more stable and focused photos were also selected.

The photographer's skills are passable, and if Miwa-chan and Brother Nakamura are willing to manage their expressions well, the photos they take can also be done. One is a girl with a delicate face, and the other is also a spiritual young man.

As for the faceless giraffe man Shinichi Iwahashi, he only chose two. One is of him taking off his hood and facing away from the camera, with a plastic giraffe on his shoulder to identify himself. The other is one of a real giraffe at the London Zoo.

......

The cover of the single was chosen from the photos of the London trip, and the cover of the debut album was taken later. CBS Sony decided early on that the cover shoot would be done by famous photographer Norinobu Sasayama.

This recent schedule is quite full, and it is said that he could not be invited to the debut album of a band with an unknown future, but CBS Sony came forward, and he married the popular singer of CBS Sony, who is considered the son-in-law of CBS Sony, so he took an afternoon to help shoot the band's debut album cover.

The album cover was filmed at the CBS Sony studio, and in the afternoon, Noranobu Sasayama came in a hurry. The face of a frog with bulging eyes gave him a nervous feeling.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know anything about this achievement in photography, so he knew that he especially liked to shoot beautiful girls, and he also liked to shoot beautiful girls who had taken off all their disguises, and I don't know how many beautiful girls were included in the lens.

Not only did the beautiful girl shoot enough, but she also married the beautiful girl Nansha Weaving, the ancestor idol, back home, and she was a real ginseng winner.

Until he came to the scene, Norinobu Sasayama didn't know anything about the subjects he was going to photograph, and he only knew that he was going to shoot an album cover for a band.

He is more or less a photographer who believes in intuition and inspiration, and does not make any understanding and preparation before shooting, and pays more attention to the "first feeling" after coming here.

So, when I came, I found out that one of the members of the band was going to wear a mask.

"How did you come up with the idea of wearing a giraffe hood?" Before the shooting, Noshinobu Sasayama looked at Iwahashi Shinichi's giraffe hood and looked Iwahashi Shinichi himself up and down, as if he was evaluating him.

"This is the captain and producer of the band. The staff explained to him, "It's basically behind the scenes." ”

Noshiyama Noranobu pouted, "Really? ”

It is the captain and producer of the band, and that is the support of the band on the "inside" side.

An orchestra is made up of three people, either three points in a straight line or a triangle. The triangle is the most stable figure, and the triangle relationship is the most stable relationship. Sasayama Noshinobu muttered in his heart and made up his mind.

For such a formal matter as shooting the album cover, the costumes are selected by the costume artist, and there is no strange aesthetic of indulgence in beauty and sauce. All three of them changed their clothes, the makeup artist touched up Miwa-chan and Brother Nakamura, and Shinichi Iwahashi also put on a hood.

"Let's shoot the triangle. Sasayama Kishinobu decided.

Then, according to his idea, Miwa-chan, who appeared in front of the stage, stood in front of the camera with Brother Nakamura, and the two dots formed a line. Shinichi Iwahashi turned his back to the two men and stood behind them.

He stood there with this "point", which just formed an equilateral triangle.

In this arrangement, there is also a sense of understanding of the band's table and interior.

As the leader and producer of the band, the giraffe man, who is mainly active behind the scenes, is the "li" of the band, and Miwa Yoshida and Masato Nakamura, who are active in the front, are the "table" of the band.

The combination of the surface and the inside forms the perfect triangle now.

And, having the giraffe man with his back to the camera also diminishes the sense of antics that a hooded man in the band might have in the audience.

The shooting lasted about two hours, and in addition to the triangle that Norinobu Sasayama decided on in a flash with his intuition, several costumes were changed, and several different sets of candidates were shot.

During the break, the three members of the band gathered in front of the computer to check the results of the shooting just now, and chatted with Noranobu Sasayama. Although he looks a little nervous, he is also easy to talk to, and he is not the kind of artist whose temper is unpredictable and can only be provided.

When it comes to the setting of the giraffe man, Brother Nakamura calls Shinichi Iwahashi's name. In front of outsiders who met for the first time, the three of them politely called each other by their surnames.

However, when Sasayama Noshinobu heard the surname Iwahashi, he felt a little familiar.
