351. The Best Times
Watanabe Manyumi thought of the reaction that Iwahashi Shinichi might have if he heard her say that, and felt funny and a little unpleasant.
Obviously her mother didn't ask, but she took the initiative to tell Misa Watanabe, "Tonight, I had dinner with Iwahashi." β
Watanabe Manyumi said this suddenly, Watanabe Misa subconsciously glanced at her, but she was not surprised, she just responded indifferently, "Really?" After a pause, he said again: "You get along with Iwahashi quite well." β
"DREAMS COME TRUE is about to make its debut, and now is the time for all kinds of big and small things to come together. The person who took the initiative to talk about Shinichi Iwahashi was Watanabe Manyumi, but she couldn't say it anymore, and turned to work a little bluntly.
She didn't even know, or had forgotten, what the reason for suddenly telling her mother about Shinichi Iwahashi was.
At this time, Noboru Kie came over to deliver tea for Watanabe Manyumi.
Misa Watanabe sensed her daughter's emotions and played a round for her, "His band has unlimited potential, it's really exciting." "It was not salty or light.
Watanabe Manyumi didn't make a sound, and also cooperated with the teacup.
......
After Shinichi Iwahashi sent Watanabe Manyumi home, he didn't go anywhere and went home directly. After a comfortable night's rest, I went back to work the next day.
In the morning, he called to make an appointment, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, he went to Warner Pioneer to meet with the executive producer of Chisato Moritaka.
The new single has not been released for a long time, and Chisato Moritaka is still in the intensive period of song promotion, running between various TV stations and radio stations all day long, and also holding small events in shopping malls and other places, whether it is high-level publicity or a meeting that looks a little shabby, all kinds of publicity methods are multi-pronged.
Singers who are already popular are another matter, they still have to play singers who have accumulated popularity and can do anything when promoting. All kinds of propaganda methods, no matter how effective they are, need to be used.
And when she is busy in front of the stage, the person in charge of her behind the scenes will only be busier in order to be able to take advantage of the natural publicity period after the release of the new single.
After the release of "17 Years Old", GENZO signed a contract with Warner Pioneer, and there is still a single that has not been put into production and is still in the pre-preparation stage. Today, Shinichi Iwahashi made a special trip to the record company, and the executive producer thought he was here to discuss the new single, but they ended up chatting for a few words, but it was still for the released "17 Years Old".
SIGNED A PRODUCTION CONTRACT WITH GENZO, AND IT IS SAID THAT AFTER THE SINGLE IS COMPLETED, IT WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IWAHASHI SHENICHI, BUT HE WANTS TO USE MORI TAKA CHISATO TO LAUNCH HIS OWN SIGN, SO HE IS PARTICULARLY INTERESTED, AND WARNER PIONEERS, BECAUSE MORI TAKA CHISATO NOW HAS HIS SHARE OF CREDIT AND ROUTE PLANNING, AND IT IS QUITE EFFECTIVE, SO HE RESPECTS HIS OPINION.
At this time, the executive producer also talked to him generously about the single.
"The sales of the singles are good, and the reviews that have been received are now mostly positive and medium, and the on-demand feedback from cable broadcasts is also good. β
Chisato Moritaka's executive producer told Shinichi Iwahashi, "In the current situation, it must be better than the last single." Looking at the feedback of the sales trend, it is not a problem to sell all the inventory in the warehouse, and it should be possible to add orders. β
When the executive producer said this, he said, "Iwahashi-san, this step can be regarded as the right step again." β
"That said, but it's not enough, is it?" said Shinichi Iwahashi, who had in mind the executive producer.
That's right, with such a high investment, just becoming popular on the basis of the original, I always feel that it is still a bad breath and a little unwilling. The executive producer's thoughts were expressed by him, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's really a little bit of a fire." β
This single can be regarded as a turnaround that opened up popularity, and when the previous single accumulated a certain amount of popularity, I thought about how to let more people know about Mori Gao. β
The executive producer told the truth, "When I decided to choose a cover song, I also had this consideration. During the production period and publicity period, the company's investment is also very large. Beyond the previous single, this is something that is taken for granted and is not worth boasting about. β
Although the current grades have exceeded the passing line, for parents who are anxious to hope for their son Jackie Chan, I am afraid that they will not think that only a passing mark of more than 60 points is enough.
"If you want to open up popularity, you may not only rely on the promotion of music groups. Iwahashi Shin brought the topic to his own meaning.
The executive producer looked at him, "What do Iwahashi-san mean?"
Actually, I came across a music review about Mori Taka-san's single. Shinichi Iwahashi took out the copy of "MUSIC LIFE" that he bought at the convenience store before he came over and handed it over.
The executive producer took the magazine, glanced at the cover, and showed a clear expression, "It's a music review by Ryohei-san Sato." β
"Have you seen it yet?" Iwahashi Shinichi was not surprised.
The executive producer lowered his head and flipped to the page where the music review was published, "After all, it's a record company, and it's part of the job to pay attention to music magazines and collect articles from music critics. I can't always know if my singers are scolded. β
The last sentence is clearly a joke, though not very funny.
"Sato-san is a signed music critic for "MUSIC LIFE", and his style has always been like this, which is his personal characteristic. However, as far as this music review is concerned, it can't help but seem a bit vexatious. The executive producer commented, "Sato-san is not criticizing Moritaka but the timesβif you want me to say, this kind of article should be published in a general magazine." β
Iwahashi smiled Shin smiled, "That's true. The executive producer said, "Why did you choose this magazine?" and said unhurriedly, "If the article that should have been published in a general magazine is put in a music magazine, there is no need to limit music promotion to music-related things." β
"Huh?" the executive producer was a little stunned.
"In this day and age, there are people like Sato-san who are worried, and there are people who are cheering because this is a golden age. In contrast, there were more people cheering. Iwahashi said.
The executive producer's tone is reasonable, "What better time is there than now?" and even if there is, it is the future, and the future will only get better and better." If you want me to say, Sato-san is just eyeballs. β
Not necessarily.
As long as Ryohei Sato is not the kind of person who frantically speculates in stocks and buys land while writing this kind of article, then this guy sees things unexpectedly thoroughly.
But the idea of the executive producer that "there is no better time than now" represents the idea of the masses.
