sings the theme song for the TV series to do publicity, naturally hoping that the higher the ratings and topics of the TV series, the better.

But the attention brought by ratings and topicality, how much can be divided into the theme song, and even the band that sings the theme song, is the real point.

After the end of the first episode, some of the various calls from the joke TV station asked about the theme song. There are not many of them, but there are some that praise the singer's good sound, some praise the singer's refreshing voice, and a few praise the lyrics are well written.

In short, the feedback received about the theme song was all positive reviews, and there was not even a neutral review.

This is to be expected.

It's not because the quality of this song is so high that it is applauded regardless of gender, old and young, but because the theme song, in the eyes of most viewers, is just an embellishment of the TV series.

For viewers who don't like it, even if they don't think it's good, they will just ignore it, and they won't make a special call to tell the TV station that "this theme song is really ugly".

On the contrary, the audience who thinks the theme song is good, because they like this song, will have a surprise similar to "I stumbled upon the little flowers on the side of the road is very beautiful", and they were encouraged by this sense of surprise, picked up the phone, and said to the TV station, "This theme song is well chosen".

In the end, the ones who will really put it into action are the people who are "absolutely praised".

Therefore, for Iwahashi Shinichi's side, the focus is not on the content of the audience's evaluation, but on the number of phone calls. Through the number of audience calls, you can roughly guess how much publicity effect each episode will bring after it is broadcast.

Based on the number of calls that came back after the first episode aired, the effect of publicity was not obvious.

However, the first episode has just been broadcast, and Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't feel anxious at all. The TV series has one episode a week, and one broadcast is ten weeks, and the publicity cycle is actually very long, and it is not an immediate process.

In addition to this, he has other considerations.

In this era, the theme song of TV series is not very important, and it is rare to write a theme song for TV series.

But ZARD's "まっすぐに..." (All the way forward), when Sachiko Kamaike wrote the lyrics, she knew that this song was going to be used as the theme song of the TV series, and she also deliberately revised it with reference to the plot of the TV series.

Therefore, the lyrics of this song are quite tailor-made for the TV series.

However, only the first episode has been broadcast, and the plot has not yet unfolded in the TV series, and it is difficult for the audience to perceive this kind of intention. It is not until the TV series continues to broadcast and the plot is fully unfolded that the mystery in the lyrics of this song can be fully brought into play.

It is precisely because of this that in Iwahashi Shinichi's heart, through the promotion of the Yuejiu TV series, this has just begun, and the good show is still to come.

If the feedback after this first episode is regarded as the "beginning", then this beginning not only makes him feel anxious, but also feels "relieved".

At the very least, everything is under control.

......

The chubby young man is doing Dong tonight, and before getting off work, Iwahashi Shinichi calls Iijima Sanchi and asks her to prepare the car first - there is a part-time driver, so you don't have to use it in vain.

Anyway, going to the winemaker's house for dinner and having a few drinks is simply a certainty.

After getting off work, Shinichi Iwahashi got into the car, and Iijima Sanchi started the car and sent him over.

After graduating from Iijima Sanchi Junior College, he worked as an ordinary office worker for a period of time, and later joined Sakai Masatoshi's personal office, where he worked as an office clerk for three or four years, and his work ability was quite affirmed and appreciated by this famous producer.

But the flowering period of the urban fan-collar family is not long, almost thirty years old, unmarried, and still working as an office clerk Iijima Sanzhi is quite an alternative existence.

However, anyone can replace the job of an office worker, and it is better to be younger than older.

Thirty years old is a watershed, and since he plans to continue working in the entertainment industry, Iijima Sanchi is not satisfied with being an office clerk all the time, and has been waiting for an opportunity to wait.

When Masatoshi Sakai expressed his willingness to introduce her to work at a record company in the entertainment industry, Iijima decided to seize the opportunity, even though the record company she was introduced to was GenZo, a new company.

Moving from the personal office of a famous producer to a new record label with an unknown future is a matter of courage. However, Iijima Sanchi was not wavered when he learned that he was going to be introduced to GenZo.

The reason why he is so sure is because of his understanding of Sakai Masatoshi. He has a good face and will never introduce the old employees of his firm to a place with no future.

When he first joined the record company, Iijima Sanchi was also arranged to work as a clerk, and the work he did was similar to when he was in Sakai Masatoshi Office.

The only difference is that on the day she joined, she was called by her boss to work as a part-time driver.

What it means to be a driver for the president, Iijima Sanchi knows it in his heart.

Although he believes in Sakai Masatoshi, before Iijima Sanchi joins the company, he still secretly collects information about the record company. In the past few years of working at Sakai Masatoshi Office, she has also known several people in the entertainment industry.

After joining the company, I also had a good relationship with the company's employees, and asked about the company.

It's not a secret that Watanabe Production's son-in-law personally sent her to the record company, and behind this company, there is the support of Watanabe Productions, a veteran force in the industry, and the largest shareholder is Watanabe Productions' Second Miss.

And the core figure of the company is the president, who is several years younger than her.

Shin'ichi-san Iwahashi.

Iijima Sanchi quietly glanced in the rearview mirror and looked at the overly young "President-san" in the back row.

But although Iwahashi Shinichi is young, she will not despise him at all - if he is a rich kid with an excellent background, he must not be offended, and if he is from a mediocre background, it is worth treating with caution.

After all, at a young age, he can achieve the position of president, and he is still a good hand at making idols, and people with such talents are definitely not idle.

Iijima Sanchi didn't know the temper and thoughts of this young president, and he didn't know how he planned to arrange himself in the future, so he sought stability and honestly became her emotionless driver.

But in private, she also observes and speculates about this young president, just as Shinichi Iwahashi asked her to be a part-time driver to observe her.

Tonight, this Iwahashi-san is going to the home of producer Yasushi Akimoto.

Iijima Sanchi drove the car into the apartment's guest parking lot, and Iwahashi got out of the car and went to visit the chubby young man.

......

In the chubby young man's house, on the long dining table, the large plates of the buffet are full and sumptuous.

A big table of meals is all handled by Mamiko Takai, she has cut off the road of idols, and she has a flash marriage with the former producer, so she naturally doesn't have to think about her comeback, because of this, she is all about her family.

After getting married, while being a housewife grabbing her husband's stomach, she learned to draw and other things to expand her interests, and occasionally went out shopping with friends she met at the kitten club.

Since it is not a marriage of Fengzi, the world of two people is more relaxed and comfortable than a family of three.

Yasu Akimoto boasted on the phone that Mamiko Takai's cooking skills had grown rapidly, and just by looking at the formation on the table, he knew that what he said was true.

As for the taste, you don't have to taste it to know that it must be good. After all, the chubby young man is notoriously picky, and he has a lot of attainments in eating.

Iwahashi Shinichi greeted him with a few words of greeting Takai Asamiko, and then went to greet Yasushi Akimoto.

"It's been a long time, Shen Yijun. ”

After not seeing him for a while, Qiu Yuanyasu seemed to have gained weight again, smiled, squinted his eyes, and looked more oily, and there was a feeling of being slippery and not leaving his hands that was difficult to deal with.

"Indeed, long time no see. ”

"Recently, Shen Yijun is estimated to have been busy enough. "It's about the national mourning period.

Akimotoyasu's tone sounded a little gloating, or maybe it was his slippery appearance, which seemed that his slightly ridiculous tone was also a little more unpleasant.

However, being able to talk to him in this tone shows that the two are already familiar enough.

With such a grand table, Shin'ichi Iwahashi was naturally not the only one who was invited.

There is a wife who takes care of the housework and cooks a big meal at home, and since Akimoto Yasushi got married, from time to time, he has invited people in the industry he knows to come to the house for parties.

Shinichi Iwahashi was talking to him when another guest arrived.

After a while, four or five invited guests arrived, all of whom were related to the TV station and the music industry, two of whom were seen by Shinichi Iwahashi before, and the rest were fresh faces.

Among the guests who visited tonight, there was no one in front of the stage.

Among the two people Iwahashi Shinichi had met before, one was a junior of Yasushi Akimoto when he was a broadcaster, and the other had seen it, but in fact it was only a face-to-face meeting.

It is a staff member of the Misora Skylark Office.

Before, in order to win the promotion of the theme song of the ninth month, when Shinichi Iwahashi asked the fat young man to connect him with Kameyama Chihiro, he once had a meeting with this person in the club.

I vaguely remember that it was Yasusu Akimoto who took over the work of writing the lyrics for Misora Skylark's new song.

Halfway through the meeting, the guests were divided into two or three circles to chat with each other.

Among the guests, there was a producer surnamed Nanchuan who had wanted to meet Shinichi Iwahashi for a long time, so he happened to meet him and pulled him to chat.

This kind of gathering is also a good opportunity to expand the social circle.

Shinichi Iwahashi has no contact with Toshiba Records, and he is happy to get to know more people. are all mixed in the music industry, and there is no topic to worry about. After exchanging business cards, the Nanchuan producer got up, and the two chatted about music production.

After talking for a while, Yasu Akimoto came here. The three of them chatted for a while, and the producer Nanchuan was shrewd and guessed that Yasuya Akimoto was talking to Shinichi Iwahashi, so he found a reason and walked away.

"The staff at Misora Skylark brought the record. Yasu Akimoto said.

Iwahashi Shinichi already knew in his heart, "Is it a new song written by Akimoto-san for Misora Skylark-san?"

"That's right. Yasusu Akimoto nodded, showing off to Shinichi Iwahashi a little proudly, "It's a song called "川の流れのように" (川流不止)。 ”

"Listen to the title of the song is magnificent. ”

However, Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't pay attention to the singing, and he doesn't know when Misora Skylark released the single. If you really want to talk about it, for the younger generation, singing is already a thing that is gradually becoming obsolete.

For him, an outsider, the beauty of singing is even more difficult to appreciate.

After receiving a majestic evaluation, Akimoto Yasushi showed a slightly proud smile, "After Misora Skylark-san received the lyrics, he specially called me and praised the song. ”

The slick chubby young man, when he talked about getting the Misora Skylark's appreciation, was unexpectedly sincere.

"Being recognized by a character like Misora Skylark-san, my identity as a lyricist is finally a little more justified. ”

The kitten club is already a thing of the past, and Akimoto Yasu will continue to be a lyricist in the future, and he can write lyrics for big singers, which is not only an affirmation of his status as a lyricist, but also proves to the outside world that he can write "serious things".

Such a song is of great significance to him.

Having said that, the reason why this chubby young man is not regarded as a serious lyricist is not because he writes too many lyrics such as "Banana Tears" and "High School Girl's Sailor Suit".

Iwahashi Shin whispered in his heart, admiring his flexibility to write lyrics for the queen of singing and to drive a small train with the kitten club.

However, the chubby young man deliberately said this, but it was not just to show off himself. Akimoto told him, "When I leave later, I'll give you a few records as a gift." ”

The people from the Misora Skylark Office came to the party on purpose, and they also came with a mission.

As soon as the records were distributed, they also had to "spontaneously" become propagandists.

Of course, when Iwahashi Shinichi came to the party, it was also a bit of a thing to go to the Three Treasures Hall without doing anything.

"I have a new idea for you, Akimoto-san. He explained his intention for this visit.

When Akimoto heard the "new idea", he really showed an interested expression, "Do you have any new programs to do?"

"Yes. Iwahashi said.

He came here on purpose, just to win over Yasushi Akimoto and let him join the team of the tricky show that was going to be produced.

Variety shows are different from talent shows.

Although no matter what the show is, no matter how natural it seems, there is a script behind the scenes - even if it is a talent show, which contestant is put on the court in each episode, which is already an operation in itself.

However, variety shows have higher requirements for scripts.

The difference is that the talent show gives a general direction, while the variety show is more specific.

Therefore, the talent show Shinichi Iwahashi can build the framework independently, but variety shows need professional script writers to work together and be responsible for finalizing every link.

When it comes to the specific implementation, the script of each issue, and even every line, needs to be written by a special person.

To make such a variety show, it is absolutely impossible to expect someone to do it, and it will not last long.

Shinichi Iwahashi was in charge of writing the proposal, setting up a rough framework, deciding on the general theme of the show, and next, there was also a need for a helper, or ally.

And Yasu Akimoto is the first choice in his mind.
