458. Getting in the way
One more chip?"
Iwahashi nodded cautiously, "Actually, it's a strategy that has already been used once." Yamauchi-san, this year is the 17th anniversary of the debut and the 10th anniversary of the retirement of Nansha Weaving Sang. ”
Not only that, but in this year, her masterpiece "17 Years Old" became popular again and became a topic. ”
The page of the document that stopped in Iwahashi Shinichi's hand was about inviting Norinobu Sasayama to work on the plan for WINK's magazine serialization.
After the retirement of an idol like Nansha weaving, every important anniversary, fans must organize commemorative activities, record companies will also release anniversary selections, and even cooperate with TV stations to make some special programs to drive sales.
This year is an important anniversary after Nanshiori's retirement, and because of the popularity of Senkari Moritaka's "17 Years Old", the attention of this ancestor idol has soared, and CBS Sony has also republished Nanshiwo's "17 Years Old".
With such a background, coupled with the fact that the locust is critically ill, Showa is about to pass, Nansha Weaving, as the ancestral idol, is one of the representatives of Showa idol culture, and inviting her to return to the red and white stage must be a big topic.
Since this year's Red and White Song Festival will be held as usual, it is necessary to ensure the ratings. If you want ratings, you must also have a topicality.
The ancestor idol, which has been retired for ten years and whose famous songs have become popular again this year, is back in popularity, and this gimmick is not small.
Yamauchi Jian was thorough one by one, "What do you mean, you want to use the influence of Nansha Mulberry?"
But then he frowned again, "Do you want Sen Gao to sing "17 Years Old" on the same stage with Nansha Weaving Mulberry? If that is the case, whether you can convince Nansha Weaving Sang or not, wouldn't you want Sen Gao to become a foil?"
"How could it be. Shinichi Iwahashi corrected him.
It's not just Kenichi Yamauchi who doesn't approve of letting these two idols, old and new, sing the same song on the same stage...... "Even Nansha Ori-san himself would never agree to sing "17 Years Old" with Mori Taka-san. ”
Kenichi Yamauchi didn't quite understand the reason why Shinichi Iwahashi was sure that Nanshaori couldn't sing "17 Years Old".
"After Mori Gaosang's "17 Years Old" became popular, Nansha Zhisang wrote me a letter. Shinichi Iwahashi told him.
It's the first time Kenichi Yamauchi has heard about this matter, and he can't help but focus on it.
In the letter, she thanked me for choosing to remake 17. Shinichi Iwahashi explains, "It's worth thinking about writing a thank you letter on purpose. ”
will pay attention to the popularity of "17 Years Old", and because her old songs have become popular again, she specially wrote a thank you letter to the producer she had never met, Nansha Weaving's approach subtly exposed her nostalgia for her idol career, to be precise, her youth.
What she is grateful for may not be that Shinichi Iwahashi made the song "17 Years Old" popular, but that Shinichi Iwahashi made her youth reappear in the public's field of vision.
still has such nostalgia in her heart, and she is destined not to be like Yamaguchi Baihui, from the moment she puts down the microphone, she completely draws a line with the entertainment industry.
Although she returned home, Nansha Weaving did not think that everything in the entertainment world had nothing to do with her.
On the other hand, if this time it is replaced with a cover of Yamaguchi Momoe's "Manju Sawa" and becomes popular, Iwahashi Shinichi will definitely not whimsically use the light of this great god to send Senri Moritaka to red and white.
It was precisely because of this emotion in her letter that when Kenichi Yamauchi mentioned that he wanted to fight for a place for Chisato Moritaka to appear in red and white, Shinichi Iwahashi would hit her with the idea.
As long as Nansha Weaving can be invited to reappear in the Red and White Song Club to perform, this time the matter will be half done.
Nansha Weaving herself does not seem to have the possibility of mobilizing her out of the mountain at present, if she makes a temporary comeback and retires from the 10th anniversary of the Red and White Song Club, this stage is also enough.
In addition, CBS Sony released another compilation for Nansha Ori this year, and also republished her "17 Years Old", if Nansha Ori can appear at the Red and White Song Club, it will definitely drive record sales.
Driven by profits, there is also the motivation for CBS Sony to work hard for this matter.
“...... Therefore, persuading Nansha Weaving Sang to appear red and white is not a matter of imposing it. What's more, NHK can get the buzz and ratings from it, and CBS Sony can get the benefit of record sales, and everyone has the motivation to work hard. Only your firm works hard, it is better to work together with others. ”
"Hmm. Kenichi Yamauchi slowly digested Iwahashi Shinchi's words.
After a while, he said: "What do you mean, do you want to contact CBS Sony and promote the appearance of Nansha Weaving Mulberry at the Red and White Song Party?"
"That's it. Iwahashi Shinichi said this and paused, "But, Yamauchi-san." It's not enough to persuade Nansha Zhisang to take the stage, but also to let her not sing "17 Years Old" when choosing songs. ”
"Don't sing "17 Years Old"?" Kenichi Yamauchi felt a little inexplicable.
Nansha weaving is because "17 Years Old" became popular this year, so it has become a topic again and entered the public eye. Wouldn't it be nondescript to let her appear on the stage in red and white, but not sing "17 Years Old"?
However, he felt that Shinichi Iwahashi still had something to say, so he couldn't bear to ask the question.
"As long as Nansha Weaving Sang can appear in red and white, the probability of Sen Gaosang appearing in red and white will increase, but there is a high probability that it will be a chorus of "17 years old" together, which will become a foil that you are worried about. ”
"However, in my opinion, if Nansha Weaving Sang does not sing "17 Years Old", the probability of Sen Gaosang's appearance in red and white will be higher. ”
Shinichi Iwahashi still emphasized that "I don't sing "Seventeen". In his vision, asking Nansha to weave out the mountain is half the success, and the other half is what song she chooses to sing.
"One thing is obvious. The public knows why Nansha Weaving Mulberry suddenly became popular in the tenth year of her retirement, and re-entered the public eye, she appeared red and white, and the public will definitely think about the song "17 Years Old". ”
"If she appeared in red and white but didn't sing "17 Years Old", the audience would feel that something was missing. ”
When Iwahashi Shinichi said this, he smiled slightly, "As long as Nansha Weaving Mulberry does not sing "17 Years Old" on the stage, there will be another person who sings this "17 Years Old". At that time, NHK will definitely let Mori Taka-san into the field. ”
Inviting Nansha Weaving to appear in the red and white is not a borrowing, and not letting her sing "17 Years Old" is the real borrowing.
"It's incredible. ”
Kenichi Yamauchi was stunned when he heard it.
Inviting Nansha to participate in the Red and White Song Party was not enough to make Kenichi Yamauchi react like this. What really made him feel incredible was Shinichi Iwahashi's idea of not letting Nansha Weaving sing "17 Years Old".
As long as Nansha Ori doesn't sing "17 Years Old", he must let Mori Takachi sing "17 Years Old".
Because this song is Nansha weaving, an idol who has retired for ten years, and re-emerges from the mountain, without this song, it is not justifiable enough. This kind of justification is a bargaining chip for Mori Taka's samurai stage.
UP-FRONT AGENCY'S SIDE, ORIGINALLY WANTED TO LET MORI KASATO APPEAR ON THE RED AND WHITE SONG CLUB TO OPEN UP POPULARITY, AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T BECOME A FOIL, AS FOR WHETHER TO APPEAR AS A SINGLE SPOT FOR RED AND WHITE, OR TO MAKE A SPECIAL PROGRAM WITH HER, THESE ARE NOT A PROBLEM.
According to Iwahashi Shinichi's idea, he encouraged Nansha to make a red and white debut, and took the initiative to contact CBS Sony, and the two sides formed an alliance to go to the red and white song club to operate together, and the success rate was naturally much higher than letting Mori Takachi appear alone.
However, there is another thing......
"It doesn't matter if the matter of asking Nansha Weaving Sang to play the red and white can be done, but how can you make Nansha Weaving Sang not sing "17 Years Old"?" Kenichi Yamauchi pointed out.
Even if Nansha Weaving really makes her debut, can she still interfere with her song selection?
If Nansha chose "17 Years Old" to sing, wouldn't Iwahashi Shinichi's idea be completely overturned? Or, if Nansha insisted on singing "17 Years Old", even if Mori Takachi took the stage, he could only serve as a foil.
Faced with this question, Shinichi Iwahashi laughed.
Seeing his smile made Kenichi Yamauchi feel a little uncomfortable. What's so funny about that?
Iwahashi Shinichi noticed his emotions, but he was unhurried and reminded, "Yamauchi-san, there is one thing that cannot be ignored. That is, while considering the return of Nansha Zhisang to the stage, we must not only regard her as the idol of the ancestors, but also as a 'woman'. ”
"And a woman's mind is very subtle. ”
Nansha Weaving was seventeen years old when he debuted, retired for ten years, and is only thirty-four years old now, which is the best age in his life. However, there is a difference between the beauty of this age and the beauty of the idol era.
Such Nansha weaving, even if she is on the same stage with the young Mori Gao Qianli, in terms of appearance, she will not be compared to her juniors, let alone disillusioned by those who see her.
However, compared to Mori Taka, it is not suitable to sing "17 Years Old".
A woman's mind is subtle.
Such Nansha weaving will most likely not agree to sing the same song with a female idol in her youth, especially when this song is still sung by this female idol in her youth.
Therefore, if she releases the news that Chisato Moritaka will also appear in red and white with her in advance, she will definitely refuse to sing this song.
If she does go on stage, it is more likely that she will choose a masterpiece that shows her current beauty than to sing "17 Years Old", which was reinterpreted by a young female idol, with the role of her personality shown in the letter to Shinichi Iwahashi.
Of course, if Nansha Weaving doesn't think so and thinks it's okay to sing "17 Years Old", then you can also consider persuading her, and the idea of persuasion is also clear, which is to use this subtle female mind.
In any case, it was definitely much easier to persuade her to change her mind than to contact the production committee of the Red and White Song Society.
"I'm sorry. ”
Kenichi Yamauchi sighed after hearing Shinichi Iwahashi's words, "Can I say 'incredible' again?"
Iwahashi Shin didn't feel complacent about his reaction, but said politely, "That's the general idea, but I can't think of any other way to ensure that Mori Taka-san will appear in the Red and White Song Club." ”
"It's a powerful idea...... If it works. Kenichi Yamauchi had to admit it.
The idea given by Shinichi Iwahashi is just like the idea of using the "sense of the times" to make an article about "17 Years Old" in a comprehensive magazine, which is absurd and incredible enough.
However, if you can really do that, the goal will be achieved.
"Therefore, whether it can be done or not depends on your firm. Iwahashi said.
When you just come up with ideas and don't have to operate them yourself, you can say anything, dare to come up with any idea, and you don't even have to think about the difficulty.
"You've got another idea that looks like an acrobatic show. Kenichi Yamauchi smiled wryly. At this moment, I can't help but think back to the time when I was approached by a writer for a comprehensive weekly magazine to promote Chisato Moritaka.
Anyway, the idea has already been given, whether it will be used or not, whether it will work out or not, it depends on how UP-FRONT AGENCY does it.
Therefore, when Iwahashi Shinichi faced Kenichi Yamauchi, he just laughed.
......
On this side, he gave advice to Kenichi Yamauchi, and on the other side, Manyumi Watanabe teamed up with CBS Sony to fight for a red and white performance spot for DREAMS COME TRUE.
ON AMUSE'S SIDE, IT'S NICE TO HAVE BEGIN APPEAR IN THE RED AND WHITE SONG PARTY, BUT AFTER ALL, SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE DETERMINATION TO WIN LIKE MANYUMI WATANABE.
And after the relationship with Shinichi Iwahashi changed from two people to three legs, Watanabe Manyumi got the support of Watanabe Misa, and the network is wider than before, not only that, but with the support of Watanabe Misa, the power of Watanabe's production can also be used by her.
Coupled with the support of Watanabe Productions, this time the red and white quota was successfully defeated by BEGIN.
At this point, the matter of DREAMS COME TRUE starring in the Red and White Song Club is considered stable. However, after finalizing this matter, the production committee of the Red and White Song Club suddenly made a request to the U-MIZ side.
You can't sing the band's debut song.
......
"So happy, so happy, so happy. ”
In the president's office of U-MIZ, Shinichi Iwahashi stared at Manyumi Watanabe and read the name of the band's debut single, his face full of inexplicability.
Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help but smile, looking at his face that was rare to show such an expression.
"Because the title of the debut song is too joyful, and there is a suspicion of cursing the locusts to death, I can't perform it at the Red and White Song Party, and I hope to change another song. ”
Shinichi Iwahashi repeated the reason why the production committee of the Red and White Song Society, which Watanabe Manyumi had conveyed to him, asked them to change the song, and suddenly smiled, "It's hard to imagine that this is happening in modern society. ”
He smiled, and Watanabe Manyumi couldn't bear it anymore and smiled.
However, she could think about it, "However, in the modern world, it is not surprising that such a thing has happened." ”
This kind of thing has happened from time to time since the locust was critically ill and the self-suppression order was issued. On television, advertisements that were broadcast were warned to provoke locust chambers because they were too joyful or used words like "congratulations" and had to be urgently withdrawn.
Now, the self-suppression order has also been suppressed to them.
NHK didn't want to cause trouble and attract criticism, so it was besieged by the-stirring sticks, so it simply said hello in advance and asked the band not to sing such songs at the Red and White Song Party.
"I thought that the band's most popular song this year was "So Happy, So Happy, So Like!", NHK should have excluded the band from the list in the first place, so why bother now. ”
Iwahashi Shinichi complained, and suddenly a flash of inspiration dawned on him, and he realized something.
