284. A contract is renewed
The backstage before the concert starts is always busy and chaotic, and from time to time there are hurried steps, and the staff with work badges around their necks walk past him.
When Shinichi Iwahashi was working as an agent in Watanabe Productions, whether he was following a small idol or acting a big song, although he participated in the recording of various song programs, he did not participate in concerts.
And like now, in the singer's solo concert, it is the first time to enter the backstage as a relation.
There's no way, when Akiko Matsumoto handed it over to him, she was a street idol who held a small event in a shopping street and no one might be willing to stop for her, and she didn't even have a plan for a concert.
And the time to follow Mori Jinichi was too short, so he resigned before he could participate in the concert.
Then again, during this New Year, the frequency of Akiko Matsumoto's appearance on variety shows is not inferior to the frequency of popular idols performing in song shows.
The function of variety shows to brush up on popularity is first-class, and more than a year ago, there was no such person as a little idol on the street, but a year later, he has become an artist full of topics - of course, it is not an artist who refers to a funny artist, but an artist who is called "talent".
The specific difference is that the entertainer of a funny artist is engaged in TV or stage comedy to entertain the public for a living.
The "talent" artists are more inclined to comprehensive artists, and they will do all kinds of work. Watanabe Productions hasn't planned to tie her to the funny boat yet.
Matsumoto Akiko's idol is not very good, but she is like a fish in water as an artist, she reacts quickly, and she is not afraid of pretending to be ugly, although she is an idol transformation, she is not hypocritical, she can let go, and the real funny artists who have acted with her have a good evaluation of her.
Especially the starting point of her transformation is "We Are a Funny Family", relying on this show, at the beginning of the transformation, the object of cooperation is Takeshi Kitano, Akashi family saury, Shimada Shinsuke This grade of funny celebrities.
The evaluation from the co-actors and the TV station is good, which makes her finally come out on the road of variety shows with her own ability after a round of popular TV tours.
At the speed at which she is jumping, Shinichi Iwahashi can say that this is a "work" that he is proud of.
After Shinichi Iwahashi left Watanabe Production, Akiko Matsumoto kept in touch with him, and the New Year's postcard was also sent correctly.
What makes him interesting is that when he was still working on Watanabe, Matsumoto Akiko was always a bit arrogant when she got along with him, a young agent.
And after he left Watanabe Production to work alone, Matsumoto Akiko became more respectful of him.
Such a change made Iwahashi Shinichi have to admire Matsumoto Akiko.
When he was producing at Watanabe, Shinichi Iwahashi was an agent looking for a job for artists, and Akiko Matsumoto also regarded him as his trusted agent. When he left Watanabe Productions to go on his own, Akiko Matsumoto turned to him as the kind of behind-the-scenes clothes that could provide work to artists, and respected him as much as the producers.
Regardless of whether he will succeed or fail in the future, and whether he will become the person who provides her with a job, in short, the attitude will follow first.
Matsumoto Akiko This girl looks at the thick lines, which are actually typical thick and thin. It's no wonder that it gets good reviews from TV stations and funny celebrities, and it uses this praise to get more job opportunities.
To put it bluntly, it's not so easy to switch to variety shows, variety shows are not a garbage dump for everything, and if you want to get in without two brushes, you will only pounce more miserably and become a laughing stock by the way.
Each person has their own route and direction.
There was still about half an hour before the concert started, and in the background, you could clearly hear the announcement of the entrance from the venue in front of you, which was the voice of Chisato Moritaka who had been recorded in advance.
In the two concerts before the New Year, Shinichi Iwahashi did not come to show up.
First, it was the end of the year, which happened to be the busiest time of the year, and second, although he was responsible for the production of Mori Taka's single, Mori Taka's team was not his own person, and the preparation of the concert was also handled by her record company's team, which had nothing to do with GENZO, so she didn't need to follow along.
Even the last game that came to participate in the finale today is actually not just to cheer up.
The door to the lounge was not closed, and Shinichi Iwahashi stood at the door and knocked on the door.
"Iwahashi-san, you're here. ”
Chisato Moritaka was originally resting on a folding chair, but when he saw him coming, he quickly got up and saluted him with both hands on the hem of his skirt.
She had already changed into a costume for the show, and bowed in a MINI skirt that was only up to her knees, and this posture was really charming, and even Shinichi Iwahashi, who came up with the idea to let her wear it like this, was shaken.
Then, I silently thought in my heart, this decision is really the right one!
Shinichi Iwahashi came to say hello and didn't plan to stay long, so he just stood and talked to her.
Mori Taka's agent Kawashima smiled and politely said to him, "Iwahashi-san, our Mori Taka will continue to receive your care in the future." ”
"Where's that. Iwahashi Shinichi said politely, "I would like to thank your company for your trust." ”
The reason for this is that Warner Pioneer decided to renew the contract with GENZO.
With the two singles produced by GENZO and Shinichi Iwahashi's planning, Chisato Moritaka's career improved, Warner Vanguard decided to hand over the production rights of Chisato Moritaka to Genzo for the next two singles, and even the commission fee was increased by 30%.
What's a little special is that Warner Pioneer only released the production of the single, and the production of the album was led by the Warner Pioneer headquarters, and the songs were handed over to different producers.
This is a common situation when idols make albums these days. Not only do idols often change the producers of singles, but sometimes the albums are also contracted to different producers.
In this way, there will be a producer who produces several idols at the same time, and an idol has several producers at the same time, which is rare to see in singer-songwriters or bands.
This practice is not so much a change of producer and a change of taste, but a manifestation of the high commercialization of idols.
The head of Mori Taka's transformation is Iwahashi Shin together, Warner Vanguard wants to renew the contract, Iwahashi Shinichi has no reason not to agree, not only for the sake of Cha Fan, he also wants to personally send Mori Takachi to a higher place.
Therefore, in the future, Mori Takachi will have to beg for a life under his hands, and it is no wonder that Kawashima is so polite.
He will come over today to participate in this closing concert, and it is also because he decided to renew the production contract with Warner Pioneer, so he deliberately came to show his face.
"Is this today's playlist?"
Shinichi Iwahashi's gaze swept over a whiteboard in the lounge, on which were magnetically attached cards with song titles. It seems that this room is not only a lounge, but also serves as a meeting room.
