146. Production Company
Watanabe usually lives in an old house, but as an adult, she still lives with her mother, and sometimes she feels that she has no private space, so she has another apartment in Tokyo.
I went to the reception today, and I had a hunch that I was going to come back very late, so in order not to stir up the crowd, I explained that I would not go home in the morning, and then I reported the address here.
Driving the car into the underground parking lot, Watanabe Manyumi was still unsatisfied, and did not get out of the car, but continued the conversation with Shinichi Iwahashi along the way, "Iwahashi-san, as you said, the next will be the era of the band." So we-"
She said "we", thinking in her heart that she had been rejected by him in Atami before, and she felt that it was not a taste.
However, at the moment, reason made her ignore this discomfort and continue, "But at this stage, the era of the band has not yet come, and I don't know exactly when it will come. โ
"Actually, sometimes you don't have to wait for the opportunity to come. Shin'ichi Iwahashi laughed silently, if she was face to face with Watanabe at this moment, she would definitely be able to tell that this smile was the same as the smile he had on the previous two occasions when he was planning to make trouble.
"It's okay to create opportunities. He said.
Watanabe Manyumi listened and thought deeply, "That's right." โ
His words hit Watanabe's heart right. This also made her feel once again that at least in terms of career, the degree of their hearts and minds is far beyond imagination.
The more I realized this, the more I regretted not being able to go hand in hand with him.
"Are you feeling better?" asked Iwahashi Shinichi in a concerned tone, having already changed the subject.
Watanabe Manyumi's mood was a little cold, and she picked up her handbag, "I feel much better now, thank you." Today, he deliberately followed me to run east and west, and sent me back. โ
"It's said that 'the more occasional, the more thoughtful'. โ
Hearing this quotation mark again, Watanabe Manyumi still thought it was funny.
......
That's it, the more occasionally he talks, the more thoughtful he becomes, and in the end, Iwahashi Shin is all over the place, and he still sends Watanabe Manyumi upstairs.
Coming out of the elevator and stepping into the hallway, Iwahashi glanced at it and said casually, "This house is really good." โ
Watanabe Manyumi said "um", "I bought it after I graduated from university." However, I don't usually come to live much. Speaking of which, she thought of an interesting story and casually said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "Because of this, a real estate agent recently called me and asked if I had any intention of selling, probably thinking that it was a vacant house." โ
"I see. Iwahashi nodded cautiously.
The real estate agent will take the initiative to contact the sale, which means that the value of the apartment has appreciated. Shinichi Iwahashi then thought that the era of the crazy bubble was now.
If you want to make a fortune, hurry up and speculate in real estate and stocks.
If he had such an apartment like Watanabe Manyumi at the beginning, he would have reached the peak of his life by now, okay?
Watanabe Manyumi's household is 5002, and when he arrived, Watanabe Manyumi looked at him, "I ......"
After thinking about it, he didn't say the next words, but handed over the car key he handed over just now in his hand, "Iwahashi-san, drive my car back." โ
"What?"
"At this time, the train has stopped, and I don't know how long I will have to wait for a taxi, so Iwahashi-san will drive my car back to the office tomorrow. โ
"Thank you very much," Iwahashi Shinichi didn't pick up the car keys, "but tomorrow morning, if I drive your car to the office, I'm afraid I'll cause you a lot of trouble." โ
is already full of rumors about the little white face, if you drive the domineering president's Daben to work again, is this going to be a stone hammer to be raised?
The heroine's script can't be taken like this.
"Okay. Watanabe Manyumi was not reluctant.
Shinichi Iwahashi sent Watanabe to the porch, and then said goodbye and left.
Watanabe Manyumi opened the door and entered, changed her shoes in front of the entrance, and felt the electric switch pulled, and the room suddenly lit up. The usable area of this apartment is about seventy or eighty square meters, which is not large, and it is suitable for a person to come and live here occasionally.
On weekdays, there are housekeeping staff who come to the house at a fixed time for maintenance, and even if they only come to stay occasionally, they don't have to worry about the bad condition of the house - except for the empty refrigerator, the house is not very popular.
Her drunkenness had almost subsided, but she felt her mouth dry, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, and drank it little by little, only then did she feel tired and couldn't help but sigh.
When the decision was made to establish Watanabe Productions, his father proposed to his mother, asking her to be a partner in his career and life, and to work together.
When Watanabe was a child, after learning the story of her father and mother, she imagined that one day she would be able to meet someone she loved both at work and in life.
Therefore, when she met Shinichi Iwahashi, the trip to Atami, and the happiness she felt when she danced with him, she was particularly moved.
In the end, because of this wishful thinking, I felt unprecedented loss.
It's not Shinichi Iwahashi's fault...... Of course Watanabe Manyumi understands. He didn't know anything about it, and he didn't have the responsibility to help her fulfill her long-cherished wish.
My sister and brother-in-law went on a blind date and then entered the palace of marriage, so that Watanabe Manyumi learned early on that married life sometimes does not necessarily need love.
And the experience of some other friends she knows made her understand that love may not be able to achieve positive results.
Therefore, for Watanabe Manyumi, most of this loss does not come from the failure of happiness, but the regret of not being able to work with him in his career.
It's hard to find a confidant in life.
......
After Iwahashi Shinichi left the apartment, he waited outside for a long time before waiting for a taxi, and by the time he got home and settled in, it was already two o'clock in the morning. I had to attend the morning meeting in the morning, so I went to the office the next day with a tired face of lack of sleep.
Colleagues are not surprised, but it is just the after-effect of the weekend all-night party.
Not only him, but the Watanabe Manyumi I saw at the morning meeting, although she is still spicy and capable, she can also see a little lack of sleep fatigue.
It's a shame that I didn't borrow her Mercedes Benz to drive, otherwise I'm afraid the misunderstanding would be big.
After Atami's conversation, Watanabe Manyumi acted as if nothing had happened and was not rejected by Shinichi Iwahashi, and Shinichi Iwahashi was also logical and put aside the events of that day.
I haven't received an internal call from her for a while, on the one hand, there are no major things to show off recently, and there are a bunch of trivial things, on the other hand, although both of them tacitly agreed, but the night they rejected her, there were still side effects.
With that, Iwahashi Shinichi was busy with his own first, preparing to resign. The resignation was not called to his boss, but was first submitted to Misa Watanabe, the real ยท The boss has been waiting for him to make a choice.
When he met Misa Watanabe and told his final decision, Misa Watanabe was a little surprised: "You want to resign?"
"I thought about it and decided that it would be better to quit my current job so that I wouldn't bother you and Watanabe Productions. โ
"Really......" Misa Watanabe muttered.
"Or, do you want me to introduce you to work in another firm?"
Iwahashi declined, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm already grateful for the care I have now." โ
The goal was achieved, but he didn't expect that he didn't choose either option, but resigned directly. Iwahashi Shinichi's choice can be said to be quite strong, and Watanabe Misa faced with this result, and for a while felt that he was stingy.
"Okay, I see. Even so, she didn't stop it.
However, March is the month of the financial settlement, and the following April is the day when the TV station will change its program and the office will update the contract, so everyone is so busy that Watanabe Manyumi's independence has been temporarily pressed, and it will not be officially announced until the past period, and Iwahashi Shinichi can't leave just like that, and he has to finish the last shift.
Of course, neither of them was there during this period.
On this day, after "snubbing" Iwahashi Shinichi for a while, Watanabe Manyumi's internal phone called again and called him to the office.
As soon as he passed, Watanabe Manyumi told him, "Iwahashi-san, I would like to choose a location for the office in Minato-ku. โ
She got straight to the point, as if she saw Iwahashi as a partner.
"Minato?"
This location is far away from Watanabe's production headquarters, and it seems that he wants his new office not to be dyed in the colors of his family. But compared to this, Iwahashi thought about it and immediately understood, "You plan to change TV stations to cooperate?"
Watanabe Manyumi cast an approving look, "Exactly." โ
Watanabe Productions is a regular partner of Fuji Television, and Watanabe Manyumi's brother-in-law is the producer of Fuji Television.
Fuji Television is headquartered in Shinjuku, and Watanabe Manyumi avoided Shinjuku when she chose the site, making it clear that she wanted to distance herself from the old office โ at least on the route.
"In Minato, it's TV Asahi or TBS. โ
NTV (said to be the original TV) was once a mortal enemy of Watanabe Productions, even if Watanabe Manyumi wanted to be independent, there was no reason to turn around and cooperate with the TV station that had turned his face with his father.
As for TV Tokyo, which is also a member of the five major private television networks, it may be presumptuous to say this before it has been established, but the truth is that if you want to build a long-term relationship, it is not an option that can be listed.
For TV Tokyo, Shinichi Iwahashi has a very deep impression.
In later generations, whenever something big happened, the marketing number on the scarf had to take out a set of screenshots, which were broadcast by six TV stations at the same time, including NHK and the five major private TV networks.
While the other five companies were urgently switching their programs and reporting on major events, only TV Tokyo was the only one that broadcast the scheduled program unmoved by the fact that no matter what happened and the sky fell.
So, if even TV Tokyo urgently switches the content of the program, it will be the end of the world - there is such a funny saying.
The reason why this is the case is not because TV Tokyo is a beautiful girl who is different from the bewitching sluts outside, but simply because of its small scale, low ratings, lack of funds, and poverty makes it a strange painting style, so it can only break the jar.
"Roppongi is in a good location," said Watanabe, "and there are several TV stations and many record companies in the entire Minato-ku, so it's a separate portal...... Seriously, opening a business office is similar to opening a store, you have to consider the location, consider the neighbors, and then choose a suitable address. โ
"TBS doesn't have a good relationship with Fuji TV, so it was not good to have too much contact with that side in the past, but in the future, if we want to go our own way and reduce our cooperation with Fuji TV, we will be more relaxed in this regard. Watanabe said.
TBS was once the ratings leader among the five major television stations, and maintained the number one rating for 19 consecutive years from 1963 to 1981. It was Fuji TV that put an end to this myth. TBS's ace program "All Assemble at 8 O'Clock" was taken down by Fuji TV's "We Are Funny", which was broadcast in 1981.
Fuji TV not only ended a golden program, but also ended the myth of TBS's ratings, so the two TV stations have always been competitors, and it is difficult for artists who are not big enough to have programs at the same time on both TV stations.
"As for TV Asahi, Watanabe Productions used to have some friendship with them, but they didn't have as close a relationship as Fuji TV, so they didn't have to worry about conflicts with their own family. In addition, they recently opened a new music program "MUSCISTATION", which gives non-idols a lot of opportunities, and since they want to focus on the band in the future, it is a good way to promote it. โ
Watanabe Manyumi's unconcealed attitude to Shinichi Iwahashi hides another idea.
"Iwahashi-san, the president told me that you have decided to resign. โ
"Yes. I will call you later, and I will leave Watanabe Production after you become independent. โ
Obviously talking about business, Watanabe Manyumi's expression seemed to be saying a witty remark, "It is said that you have only been in office for a whole year, and you don't have any severance allowance when you leave your job." However, the president's meaning, you have made a contribution to Watanabe Production, and you should have been promoted, but now that you resign, you can't be treated lightly, so I will give you a generous severance allowance. โ
She may not have deliberately played treasures, but she felt a little funny when she thought of so many derailed things that had happened in a short period of time.
Shinichi Iwahashi probably understood her mood, and cooperated with her, replying, "That's really an honor." โ
But in his heart, he is not in a bad mood if he can have a sum of money.
Since you are leaving, the next step is to implement your own plan, and it is time to use money urgently. In this case, Watanabe Productions is willing to give a generous severance allowance, which is just the right relief for him.
"Earlier, you said that the future is the era of bands, and we have to work on it in a different way. "But I still don't know which way you've found." โ
She didn't hide it, she wanted to change Iwahashi Shinichi for an answer.
"You have to set up your own business and set up your own office. โ
"I wanted to start a music production company. Shinichi Iwahashi has finally revealed the mystery.
The dice that were thrown out were spinning around, but I didn't expect such points to be turned.
