Although it was the first time they met, both sides had a clear idea of what they were going to discuss. Therefore, after the greetings, it quickly got to the point.

The copyright of the song is in the hands of BEING, and compared to Nagato Daiyuki, whether it is age or resume, Shinichi Iwahashi is a serious junior. No matter from which point of view, the first to play the cards is the luck of the long family.

Iwahashi Shinichi listened attentively, waiting to hear Nagato Daiyuki's plan.

The desire to use that "crackling, crackling" as the anime's theme song is what led to the sitting of two producers who had never met before.

The discussion was about how to use the piece.

Selling the right to use the song and selling the song directly to GENZO is the simplest cooperation model, which was excluded by Nagato Daiyuki without hesitation.

He wanted Shinichi Iwahashi to subcontract the production rights of the song to BEING, and BEING would be fully responsible.

Nagato Daiyuki is essentially a producer of the Ichibundo type. There's nothing you can do about B'z, a band that does its own production and leader Takahiro Matsumoto is too assertive, but when it comes to making TUBE, it's the same.

In this way, he can tolerate a Matsumoto Takahiro who he can't restrain himself, but he may not be able to get along peacefully with Shinichi Iwahashi, who he never knew and who had secretly married him, in the recording studio.

Especially this young producer is famous, and there are even guys who like to pat on the back, calling him a "gold pointer". Since it is a "gold hand", it means that he has an authority in the recording studio.

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers.

......

Daiyuki Nagato wants 100% of the production rights to the theme song.

Iwahashi Shinichi listened obediently, and when he heard what this producer was thinking, he couldn't help frowning slightly. Giving full authority to BEING means that you don't say a word during the production process, and it all depends on what Nagato Daiyuki wants to do.

Just to make a theme song, you need 100% production rights, and the conditions of Nagato Daiyuki not only reveal the arbitrary side of this person, but also vaguely reveal a little ambition that people have to care about.

At least, the president of the long family didn't see this song as a theme song for a family's daily animation.

If it's just for the royalties of 50,000 copies, there's really no need to bite the "100% production right".

If the president of Nagato also has high hopes for this resource, in a sense, it is the same thing that Shinichi Iwahashi, who intends to sell this song as a pop song rather than a children's rhyme.

But the more this happens, the more Shinichi Iwahashi can't let go.

The more similar ambitions there are, the more important it is to examine each other's intentions.

At first, I don't know what the president of Nagato plans to do. Second, he himself wanted to take this opportunity to make a big deal and completely hand over the production rights, which meant losing control.

The person who plays the card first is easy to show his feet, and Nagato Daiyuki tells his intentions, which means that he exposes his true thoughts in front of Iwahashi Shinichi.

However, the production rights of the anime theme song were in the hands of Shinichi Iwahashi, and he was more confident, so he said slowly: "If it is an absolute production right, please forgive me for not agreeing to it." ”

"With all due respect," Iwahashi Shinichi decided to reveal the details of his words after deciding to reveal the need to go around in circles with Daiyuta Nagato, "If it's just the anime theme song, I don't think there's a reason to sell all the production rights." ”

"Just".

Iwahashi's words are subtle enough, but they are also direct enough. Nagato Daiyuki understood when he heard it.

The two of them seemed to want to go together.

This young producer, doesn't he also think that this time is a great opportunity?

Nagato Daiyuki's heart moved, thinking back to the resume of Shinichi Iwahashi that he had investigated in advance, and it was not surprising that he would set his sights on this opportunity.

But the more this happens, the more it makes Nagato Daiyuki feel unhappy.

If Iwahashi Shinichi is a producer who can't see the power of his family's daily animation, he casually sells the production rights, and Nagato Daiyuki may look down on him. However, he wanted to go with Nagato Daiyuki, which made Nagato Daiyuki feel tricky.

Once he discovers the hidden opportunity, he will not let go easily.

When Nagato Daiyuki thought of this, a subtle sense of passivity surged in his heart-

At the beginning of the negotiation, when he took the initiative to play his cards, Nagato Daiyuki didn't feel passive, but after Iwahashi Shinichi made it clear that this "just", he began to feel this strong sense of passivity.

Since Shinichi Iwahashi has discovered the hidden opportunity in it, he will not let it go. If Nagato Daiyuki bites 100% of the production rights, it can only end in collapse.

Now that he has found an opportunity, even if he can't get this song, Shinichi Iwahashi can still come out with another song.

As long as the theme song of "Cherry Maruko" is not regarded as a simple children's song, then it doesn't matter whether or not to use the "crackling, crackling, crackling".

But on the other hand, if you can't get the resources of the theme song, Nagato Daiyuki's plan will be ruined, and the song will lose its greatest value.

Now this scene is not so much that Shinichi Iwahashi is asking Daiyuki Nagato to wink for an opportunity from Shinichi Iwahashi.

To this opportunity or not to do so?

Iwahashi Shinichi is not attached to that song, and that song will not play a role in this negotiation. Nagato Daiyuki has no second choice but to say what he thinks.

It's better to negotiate terms with this young producer than to rot your ideas in your hands.

Be able to bend and stretch.

Nagato Daiyuki made up his mind, and simply followed the "just" that Iwahashi Shinichi had just said, "It's really meaningless to just say it's for the theme song of the anime, but if you can seize the opportunity to do something else." ”

Shinichi Iwahashi asked him to continue.

After being in the industry for a few years, he was used to trying to impress others with his own plans, but this time, it was his turn to wait and listen, and then decide whether to agree or not.

There is a sense of holding power in your hands.

"I think 'Cherry Maruko' is an anime that you can watch with the whole family. In the same way, I wanted to make a song that I could sing together as a family. If a song can be sung in a family karaoke, then the company party, the Katamachi event, the school festival, ...... It can be sung on any lively occasion. ”

Nagato Daiyuki told Shinichi Iwahashi that what he wanted to do was not only such a lively song, but also that he planned to take the opportunity to form a limited group for this song.

"I see. Iwahashi nodded cautiously, thoughtfully.

He looked at Nagato Daiyuki, who was constantly introducing the plan, and he figured out one thing - to make such a group and such a song, this is the real reason why the president of Nagato went to Cherry to recommend himself.

It's not because I like "Cherry Maruko" that I want to get its theme song. It's because this plan can only be realized if you get the theme song.

A song that can be sung in any lively occasion has a high potential to stir up popularity. Especially in this day and age, on the one hand, the public is keen on all kinds of gatherings. On the other hand, it was a time when karaoke was booming.

In the last year or two, karaoke rooms have become popular, and people who are keen on partying have a new place to go and have fun after drinking.

If you really follow Nagato's plan and make a complex but somewhat exaggerated and dreamy group with a catchy song, it is not difficult to imagine that it will achieve good results.

Of course, there is also a big premise, that is, you can borrow the east wind of "Cherry Maruko".

"Sounds great. Iwahashi said.

Nagato Daiyuki came up with the idea and the plan, so the topic came back to the topic, "I also deliberately paid attention to the selection of this group in advance in the company and among the musicians related to the company. ”

That's why it's important to have 100% production rights.

Only when he has all the production rights in his hands can he make everything from the decision of the manpower, to the style of the group, and how the music should be made, all aspects can be carried out according to his own vision.

"To be honest, when I received this production commission, I also paid attention to the right musicians. Since the company's existing debutant singers were not suitable, I also considered new ones. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi seems to be deliberately working against Nagato Daiyuki.

However, this is not so much a deliberate attempt by Iwahashi as it is because the two sides happened to have one thing in mind, so in order to reach a cooperation, someone had to back down and someone abandon their plans.

"With all due respect. ”

At this point, Nagato Daiyuki also worked hard for himself, "The whole plan, I started to polish it when I had relevant ideas, even if I boasted, but I think I prepared a person who is absolutely suitable for this plan." ”

Iwahashi listened and nodded, "I see." ”

"Then," he took a step back, "if I can, I hope Nagato-san will send you a copy of the audition of the combination you have prepared over there." ”

"But again, after that, I would like to ask you to take a look at the musicians I have prepared here. ”

Both sides take out the singers they have prepared for an audition, and whichever side performs better, then use whichever side. That's what Shinichi Iwahashi thought.

If the singer he recommended is finally used, he and Daiyuki Nagado will be the producers.

However, if the performance of the people on Nagado Daiyuki's side is more suitable, then all the production rights will be handed over, and Iwahashi Shinichi will never ask about the production period, and will only be responsible for the subsequent release.

But that's not enough.

Shinichi Iwahashi thinks so, and Daiyuki Nagato thinks so too. Both of them left half of the words behind, and after they were ready, they decided on the production rights and then said what they didn't say.

......

Such a meeting was not pleasant to Nagato Daiyuki in any way. Even if Iwahashi Shinichi relented on the matter of production rights, for him, there was still a feeling that he was trying to sell himself at a good price.

But the matter has come to this point, and the only way to find a way to fight for more benefits from it is to see the trick and dismantle it.

Nagato Daiyuki doesn't know what kind of singer Iwahashi will prepare and what kind of ideas he will have, but he is confident in his plan and is indeed prepared for it.

BEING has been established for ten years, and there are many musicians who have signed contracts or have cooperative relationships. When he thought about this plan in his heart, Nagato Daiyuki thought of the two of them first.

One is the singer Yuiko Tsubokura, who once participated in the production of TUBE. Short and cute-looking, she first debuted as a singer but was not very successful, and later participated in behind-the-scenes production, helping to sing harmony in the studio.

The other person is named Kondo Bonosuke, a blues singer who has been active since more than ten years ago, and he has not achieved much success commercially, and has been focusing on performing in places such as LIVEHOUSE, and the typhoon is quite lively.

These two people, the former is a musician signed with BEING, and the latter has a close relationship with BEING.

The small Yuiko Tsubokura, with a young and elastic voice, is the lead singer, and she can definitely sing that tune with a playful feeling. And Kondo's solid foundation can be used as the background color of this song, as if in the comics, when Maruko thinks of something stupid, the "voiceover" that complains next to him.

Nagato Daiyuki has an older sister in the family, and when she was a child, every Daughter's Day, her mother would arrange the Daughter's Day doll she bought for her sister in the living room.

When he conceived according to the "Japanese family configuration", he couldn't help but think of the Hinmata dolls that needed to be placed in a fixed pattern.

The two lead singers, a man and a woman, are simply the Son of Heaven and the Queen sitting at the top of the Daughter's Day puppet altar.

If you want to talk about this tradition, there are always Daughter's Day dolls.

Of course, the real reason for this is that it can be used to heat up the atmosphere when doing group activities such as karaoke.

There's the protagonist at the center, and there's the person who is on the side to stir up the atmosphere – if it's at a karaoke or family gathering, it's someone who is on the side to sing the song, with a shaker and a rattle bell next to them.

If it is carried out according to the idea of the Daughter's Day puppet, the lead singer is the Son of Heaven and the Queen placed at the top, then the harmony should be placed on the next floor of the three female officials.

Harmony elects three young girls...... Be pretty!

Further down from the three female officials are the five young children who are responsible for playing music. Then find five musicians from the company to join. During the performance, on the stage, the dolls are also arranged in the same way as the Daughter's Day puppet, with the lead singer at the front, then the harmonies, and then the musicians......

Nagato Daiyuki thinks that this idea is perfect.

Even the singer he was ready for in Iwahashi's mouth didn't let him waver.

For Nagato Daiyuki, only by winning the absolute production rights and letting him produce the singer in charge of singing can he go one step further and discuss the next step with Iwahashi Shin'ichi, that is, he left half of the words at the first meeting.

He wanted to get the original rights to the song.

......

Iwahashi Shinichi said that he wanted Nagato Daiyuki to meet the singer he was preparing, but in fact, he was not as active as when he negotiated terms with Nagato Daiyuki.

It's better to say that he also prepared a singer, which is to facilitate the conversation in the future.

But since it was a spoken, in his heart, he did think of a available candidate.
