150. Squeeze out the value
 ...... It smells so good!
After eating this bowl of fragrant rice, Shinichi Iwahashi continued to enrich his ideas:
"On top of that, I also take on a little bit of work to help underground musicians make underground records, which is an opportunity to broaden my network and discover a few decent songwriters. 35xsā
In fact, the music production company itself does not provide lyrics and songs to the singers, but the songwriters who have useful songwriters at hand will have correspondingly more hole cards and more jobs to receive.
Only when you have enough cards in your hand can you not only be a foundry.
"But," Shin's head changed to say what Watanabe really wanted to hear, "making a living is just a means, and the most important thing is to brew something famous and make a name for yourself." ā
"From my standpoint, in short, you must be able to establish a good relationship with a certain record company, whether it is to become their outsourcing company or to put the distribution rights of your own singers, in short, you must successfully play a group of singers to prove yourself, and then you can attract more attention, and even follow-up investment and cooperation. ā
"The previous festival performances have signed us and Warner Pioneer and Polly Sound. However, no matter which record company we sign with, we have to go through the production company and leave the production rights in our own hands. ā
If you control the production yourself, you will be able to fully grasp the style and route of the band.
"Exactly. Watanabe said, "It's the same on my side, after independence, the first thing I have to do is to come out." ā
Immediately, she proposed, "Iwahashi-san, how about you put the band's agent with me? Or we-"
"On the contrary, I can maintain a long-term cooperation with you in this way. ā
Iwahashi smiled, "Coincidentally, I think so too." ā
The two then looked at each other and smiled, and the previous imagination of each other as the best partners was confirmed in this moment, like a thin veil covering the middle.
After confirming the idea, Watanabe asked him, "So, how are you going to lead with the record company?"
The more I admired him, the more Watanabe wanted to hear useful and meaningful words from him. The harmonious relationship between them today was established because of Iwahashi Shinichi's "ability".
"Boss, this is the next problem you will face. ā
Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "That's what 'boss' is called...... In a few days, you leave Watanabe Productions, and I will set up a separate portal, so I can't call it that anymore. ā
"What's that going to be called? Watanabe-san?"
She shook her head slightly, "We already have a lot of 'Watanabe-san' in our family. Since you want to cooperate in the future, if you don't mind, you can call me by my name. Flash"
"Manyumi-san...... Is that so?" Iwahashi Shinichi is as good as a stream. In fact, in the office, in private, they are also called "Mishu-san" and "Manyomi-san".
"Yes. In return, I'll call you 'Shen Yijun' in the future, is that okay?"
Iwahashi nodded cautiously, "You can call it whatever you want." ā
...... Then back to the topic, "You have just become independent, and although you have chosen an address that is very close to the TV station, if you want to attract the attention of the TV station, you must also do something to make yourself a blockbuster." ā
"So, what do you think I should do?" The two seemed to be playing a game of passing, kicking the ball to Manyumi Watanabe, and she kicked it back.
Since they want to cooperate, Shinichi Iwahashi is generous and unabashed, "How about continuing to make a fuss about idols?"
Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help laughing, "Isn't Shinich-kun going to let go of idols?"
"Almost, sell what you can. Iwahashi raised his eyebrows, not feeling that this self who kept playing bad idols was hateful, and he was even a little nervous in his heart.
Sure enough, compared to a musician, he is still a businessman in his bones.
"How about we plan a talent show?"
"Draft?"
"Yes, the band draft. Shinichi Iwahashi said, "Although Star! is over, there are lessons to be learned from its model. Now, although the public is a little tired of idols, it is a routine that has proven successful. In addition to "Star! Birth", the amateur development model of the kitten club also has something to learn from, and you can still get good results by changing the skin and reserving it on the table. ā
"That's right. ā
Now everyone is a little tired of idols, but what remains in the body is still the habit of idols, and all of a sudden there is a 360-degree rotation, and the possibility of overturning is relatively high. In this case, it is better to continue to put idols in the pot to boil the dregs, absorb the experience of idol management for so many years, and squeeze out their value.
"It's not difficult to follow the old ways, but it's hard to come up with new ideas. "Watanabe Manyumi pointed out the key.
Part of the framework of the kitten club show is on "Star! Birth", but Akimoto Fat came up with the concept of amateur idol cultivation.
So, what concept do you have to come up with for a band audition?
"You can amplify the two concepts of 'athletic' and 'amateur'. Iwahashi thought for a moment, "What is the best thing about the band? is the music, the typhoon, and the technology. In terms of competition, let the stage mode become a ring competition, "Star! Birth" can have a chance to be held up by the record company as long as it wins, but the band draft we have to do is not good, the winner of the current period, let him become the champion of the next issue, accept the challenge of the next band, and only by successfully defending several consecutive episodes and graduating from the show can he get the opportunity to debut. ā
"The winners of this issue may not be able to debut, and there may be more powerful people in the next issue, and the bands they support may not be successful, so they will always hang the audience's appetite. And the constant appearance of bands that come to challenge also keeps the stage fresh at all times. In addition, the band should let the audience see their progress, such as coming up with a new song every issue, or in other places, such as adaptations, in short, they have to challenge themselves. ā
"Interesting. Watanabe Manyumi nodded and added, "However, don't keep the number of periods too much, and let the band graduate before the audience gets tired of it." Either way. ā
"Exactly. "It's not tiring to talk to her at all.
Watanabe Manyumi asked with interest, "So, what about the concept of amateurs?"
"Well, if you're not satisfied with the current band and think you can do it, you can form a team with your friends and family to take on the challenge. How's that going?"
In other words, wide entry and strict exit, lower the threshold of entry and raise the threshold of exit.
"I'd like your band to go to the show and see how long they can hold the ring. "Watanabe Manyumi is a little thorough.
Iwahashi smiled with a smile, "Needless to say, it must be directly entering the hall." ā
After talking about what business to do, Watanabe Manyumi finally turned the topic to money, "How do you solve the problem of funds for opening a company?"
