484. Red and White Rehearsal

On the 25th, GenZo made the east and entertained the people of TBS TV.

At the end of today's reception, all the TV stations that have cooperated with us this year have been completed. Shinichi Iwahashi acted with Watanabe Manyumi as usual, but this time, according to the previous agreement, his brother-in-law Narita Kanyuki also came to participate.

Dentsu MAN's presence on such occasions was not only redundant, but rather popular with TV people.

In particular, TBS itself has a close relationship with Dentsu, and Hiroyuki Narita is a very popular person in the social scene.

Iwahashi Shinichi is in the upward stage, and since Narita Kanyuki wants to help, he simply helps to the end, and after finishing the advertisement in front, he is now also coming to help support the scene.

The person he was introduced to the TV station, TBS TV, knew that Shinichi Iwahashi had a brother-in-law who was working at Dentsu, and when he looked at him, the things to consider would also increase.

The place in the entertainment industry is not only a place where inconspicuous little people gather, but also a place where related households gather.

For example, TBS TV's ace "THEBESTTEN" is produced by the nephew of the president of Dentsu.

It's not for nothing that the show can make such a big deal on a comprehensive list and not be afraid of offending people.

Compared with Watanabe's production behind Manyumi Watanabe, it is not enough to say that Shinichi Iwahashi is a relational household, and he mainly has to rely on himself. However, having is better than nothing.

Besides, not only is he in the upward stage, but Narita Hiroyuki is also on the rise, and his future is immeasurable.

Narita Kanyuki is investing in Shinichi Iwahashi, and Shinichi Iwahashi is not investing in this brother-in-law.

Regarding this, the brother-in-law and brother-in-law each know it. Everyone is so frank, things are easy to discuss.

In the entertainment industry, Shinichi Iwahashi's main business is a producer for a record company, and he also quietly plays the band's giraffe mascot in private.

In the television industry, Shinichi Iwahashi has also attracted attention in another capacity: he participated in the production of two high-rated variety shows.

TBS TV released "Band Heaven", and saw that this show grew into a national-level variety show under TV Asahi, and was on the list of variety show ratings at the end of the year.

Then, the variety show of Fuji TV, which Iwahashi Shinichi participated in, was also a success this year.

Also attending the reception today were officials from TBS TV's No. 2 Production Department, which is in charge of variety shows. Compared with others, he has to be a little more enthusiastic about Iwahashi Shinichi, not just a courtesy entertainment.

Variety artists in the TV industry, although they will not regard Shinichi Iwahashi as a future variety show master - he is still a music producer.

However, he will definitely think that he has a certain talent in making variety shows.

There are not many high-rated variety shows for two high-ratings.

However, if a person makes two shots and succeeds both times, it deserves to be looked at differently.

The cadres of the second production department are enthusiastic about Iwahashi Shinichi, not on a whim, but with their own considerations.

Under the self-suppression order, the advertisements and programs of TV stations have been greatly affected, and now it is "entertainment restriction", once the locusts are braided, during the national funeral, there are not a few programs that are forced to stop broadcasting.

In addition, when the old era ends and the new era begins, there is a high probability that the TV station will take this opportunity to adjust the existing program.

At that time, one more candidate to collect ideas will have one more power that can continue to lead the people's release after the start of the new year.

For the TV industry, it is more willing to concentrate the fifty ideas of ten smart people than to rely on one genius.

......

It's also the 25th.,On this side, there was a lively party.,On the other side,Akina Nakamori went home at night and received a package from Shinichi Iwahashi.。

When I opened it, it was a new record from DREAMSCOMETRUE.

It's been exactly a week since the last time I called him to ask about the song and when I received the record today.

The "after" that Iwahashi Shinichi said on the phone came neither later nor too early.

However, during the same week, the popularity of this much-hyped song on the radio station rose again, to the point that even when I went to participate in the show, the people on the TV station talked about it.

The reason why it has become a topic of conversation in the industry is undoubtedly because the momentum of the song is getting better and better. This song won the first place on the radio on-demand chart for the first time. Not only that, according to the current momentum, two consecutive championships and three consecutive championships are very possible.

The data is performing well and deserves attention.

However, such a song with a duration of seven and a half minutes can perform so well on the data of radio on-demand, which is the biggest reason why it is eyed by industry insiders.

There are many champion singles, but there are not many champion singles whose length is worth two songs.

A song that breaks through the mainstream rule of "three to five minutes" on commercial radio to become a champion single can still succeed at such a difficult level, and the probability of becoming a hit is quite high.

While people in the industry are amazed that a non-mainstream song has achieved good results, they also want to investigate what magic this song has to do it.

Akina Nakamori also had many thoughts after hearing this song on the radio.

Now, the package has arrived, and the shopping street kid is eager to write down her thoughts on the song.

However, when I opened it, it was not the expected new single, but a new album.

The band didn't release a single this time?

Akina Nakamori opened the album, took out the attached lyric book and looked through it, and found this "Future Forecast II", and the song was ranked at the end of the album.

If it's a vinyl turntable, the listener will probably find it very difficult.

However, what Shinichi Iwahashi sent her was a CD that made it easier to switch songs. That said, she started with the first one.

Putting the record into the CD player, she sat down and listened to the song while reading the letter that Shinichi Iwahashi had attached.

In short, the answer is now revealed. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi told her in the letter, "This "Future Prospect II" is not a new single released separately, but as one of the title songs of the album, it was promoted in advance. ”

"So, now I'm going to ask you to taste a few more songs. However, as the owner of a shopping street, I am also quite confident in my other works. That being said," he wrote, joking in his letter, "I don't mind that the work has been quietly increased tenfold for you without you knowing." ”

Akina Nakamori smiled at this not-so-clever little joke.

However, Future Visions II ......

Akina Nakamori looked at the lyrics book again, and suddenly thought, is there still "Future Forecast I"?

Iwahashi Shinichi's letter was not written for long, and after finishing the album, he mentioned a few recent entertainments in bits and pieces.

At the end of this year, because of the order, it has become the most idle year-end for Akina Nakamori since 1985. Now reading Shinichi Iwahashi's letter, thinking back to the busyness of running from Kanto to Kansai in previous years, I can see his exhaustion between the lines, and I seem to be able to appreciate the hardship.

In the last paragraph, Shinichi Iwahashi mentions the Red and White Song Society.

This year's Red and White Song Party, Akina Nakamori naturally attended, and DREAMSCOMETRUE was divided into the red group because she was the female lead singer, so it is estimated that you will be able to meet at the venue of the Red and White Song Party.

The last time I saw Shinichi Iwahashi backstage at the Red and White Song Club, he was the agent who followed Shinichi Mori. At that time, Akina Nakamori herself had only met him once.

Who would have thought that now she could talk freely with him like this and read a letter full of small things in life.

The Red and White Song Party is about to start, and when the time comes, among the female singers dressed up in the red group, a giraffe man will be mixed in. It's funny just thinking about it.

It will probably attract the attention of the audience......

Akina Nakamori finished reading the letter and put it in the envelope.

Then, I listened carefully to the record sent by Shinichi Iwahashi.

......

On the 26th of the next day, the band's new album was sold in record stores across the country, because the highlight of the publicity was placed on Chinese New Year's Eve and the New Year holiday, and in the last few days of the year, the publicity was not too big.

Of course, it's not like quietly putting records on the shelves, and then starting to wait for people who have strayed into the deep alleys to find out.

There are also basic posters, and the linkage with the record store is the same, but except for the Red and White Song Club a year ago, the band did not have any scheduled appearances.

Because the publicity budget of the previous year was not drastically reduced, and the level was maintained at the same level as the previous album, which made Shinichi Iwahashi receive some criticism in the studio.

The publicity expenses were increased by 1.5 times, and the manager who was sent to U-MIZ to serve as the right-hand man of Watanabe Manyumi did not approve of this unrestrained use of funds.

Not counting the advertising scheduled after the year, if it is replaced by many other singers, the publicity period is just such a battle.

According to the traditional way of thinking, a single is released in November, and the album promotional page is attached to the single, and then it begins to warm up one after another, and a new album is released in December, and the songs are concentrated to play, so that it is more "mainstream".

Now this kind of propaganda is undoubtedly an over-standard treatment.

To do this, in the eyes of the people in the firm, it has reached the point where it is suspected that it is doing misdeeds.

The manager disagreed, but Shinichi Iwahashi came up with a complete plan, and Watanabe Manyumi also gave full support, so that he could only cooperate with this combination punch.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't feel this disapproval, but he didn't take it to heart.

After all, when Watanabe Manyumi arranged this project, she also half-jokingly said that this set of projects would never be approved by Watanabe Production.

Not only Watanabe Productions, but more than half of the firms in the industry will not cooperate like Watanabe Manyumi.

The band just debuted, and it's true that the first album performed well, but it's hard to say how the second album was. This is one of them.

Second, this kind of model of throwing money on propaganda and creating topics without topics is not very mainstream in itself.

Iwahashi Shinichi relied on the trust of Watanabe Manyumi, and the firm was independent and she had the final say, so that she could abandon the inherent mode of distribution and publicity in such a non-mainstream way, and proceed according to his vision.

By now, he is almost halfway through the large-scale propaganda he envisioned.

Next, it depends on how the Red and White Song Club and the follow-up combination will be played.

......

On the 29th, it was the first rehearsal of the Red and White Song Club.

The company's car went to pick up people early in the morning, and the three members of the band were led by their personal manager to NHK.

The last time Iwahashi Shinichi sneaked into the backstage, he was in charge of running errands and getting a boxed lunch, coordinating the service of Huadao, and various chores.

Today, while turning into a giraffe man, he also has an agent who helps him with his chores.

Today is the first rehearsal, and tomorrow there will be a rehearsal with makeup. The last three days of the year were all vacated for the Red and White Song Festival.

As long as Meihe-chan gets up early, she must be in poor spirits, and her makeup is not put on, and from the time she goes downstairs, her body exudes an ominous aura of "no one should enter".

If she wasn't going to the Red and White Song Party, but was woken up early in the morning for something else that didn't matter, then nine out of nine would have to get up in a series of ways to show how hateful she was when she was unreasonable.

There was silence along the way.

When they arrived at NHK, the agent reminded them that they should wear masks to cover their faces, and those who should wear hoods to cover their faces should quickly cover their faces, so as not to be photographed by reporters when they get out of the car.

At the rehearsal on the 29th, a reporter took pictures at the scene, and tomorrow will send some notice to the audience in advance.

It is said that when a photo of a popular idol rehearsal was published, the newspaper of the day was particularly popular. Real fans will not only buy records to sell them, but also make a newspaper clipping of their idols.

However, in the rehearsal with makeup, in order to avoid leaking the stage effect and the singer's costume in advance, reporters were not allowed to take pictures and interviews.

Therefore, it is important to prepare before going to the NHK parking lot.

Shinichi Iwahashi, who was wearing a giraffe hood skill level 10, took over his body and put it on skillfully.

In fact, the identity of the giraffe man, if the industry insiders have the heart, it is not impossible to find out, but just like Iwahashi Shinichi calculated in advance when he decided to appear on the stage as a giraffe man, even if the industry insiders knew the identity of the giraffe man, they would not reveal it to him.

Since this kind of rule exists, reporters will not break this rule and deliberately squat on the identity of the giraffe man. Otherwise, with the business level of this entertainment record, his various materials would have been all over the street long ago.

It's just that the reason why this kind of rule can exist and protect the identity of the giraffe man from leaking is that the giraffe man himself also has professional ethics and ensures that he does not show his face in public.

Once he is the first to show up in front of reporters, there will be nothing to protect in the future.

Iwahashi Shinichi put on his hood, and he was quite satisfied.

At this moment, a hand reached out to him and grabbed his arm. Don't think about it, except for Miwa-chan, who is sitting next to him, no second person will do this.

Shin'ichi Iwahashi, who had long given up struggling, turned to her and waited for her to finish her job.

Straighten out his head cover for him.

If there is really one, there are two, and there are countless times when there are two.

"Three, get ready to get off. ”

The car drove into the parking lot, and the agent alerted them.

Shinichi Iwahashi turned around and reminded Miwa-chan, "Put on your mask." ”
