108. The place of life
Applause, and praise. 35xs
In the past, after the meeting, the members of the group would at most give him a polite nod of greeting, but this time, after Otsu Shusaku announced the end of the meeting, his colleagues, who had previously looked at him coldly with scrutinizing eyes, surrounded him.
"Congratulations, Iwahashi"
"It's yours, Iwahashi-kun"
"It's worthy of Iwahashi-kun, even Otsu-san is full of praise for you"
"Iwahashi, let's get off work tonight, let's go have a drink together"
The enthusiasm of his colleagues reached the point where Shinichi Iwahashi was a little overwhelmed.
Whether it was the gossip he had with Watanabe Manyumi, or the disagreement with him at the meeting, whether it was unpleasant or not, it seemed as if the previous prejudices had disappeared as the festival was planned.
Everyone had mixed feelings, and not all of them congratulated Shinichi Iwahashi.
He proved his ability with practical actions and did what others did not do. They thought about what Shinichi Iwahashi had done for the festival, and they couldn't help but admit in their hearts that he was indeed very good.
At the same time, he also has the help of Watanabe Manyumi, who no one else has, and now he has even been publicly praised by Otsu Shusaku, an old qualification.
With both abilities and relationships in hand, the future is limitless.
"It's all the result of everyone's efforts. ”
In the face of colleagues who made a 180-degree turn in attitude, Iwahashi Shin'ichi smiled and socialized with them in a relaxed tone. There is no self-restraint, no arrogance, as if after the prejudice against him by his colleagues has disappeared, the memory of his side has also been cleared.
Hello, hello, everyone. It doesn't matter what you think in your heart.
That's not how the workplace works. Unless you are going to resign and leave at this moment, you have to leave a line in life. Because in such an industry, individual heroism does not work.
The world behind the scenes is actually an intricately constructed machine. The staff plays the role of the parts, and they work together to keep the machine running smoothly and have all kinds of wonderful projects in front of the stage.
But then again, it's so cute that you didn't like me for a while, and now you're trying so hard to change your attitude towards me.
Shinichi Iwahashi and his colleagues from the planning committee walked out of the conference room collectively and laughing. Returning to his first production department, not long after, Watanabe's secretary Manyumi's internal phone call came again.
Iwahashi Shinichi hurriedly wrapped himself up, oh no, he put the work in his hand to see her. As soon as it passed, Watanabe Manyumi congratulated him, "I knew that Iwahashi-san's ability was worth looking forward to." ”
Other people's praise may have an element of business, but Watanabe's praise must be 100% sincere. 35xs Shinichi Iwahashi accepted it calmly and said to her, "But thanks to your trust." ”
"It's said that it's a hero and cherishes a hero. Watanabe smiled lightly, turned around, and walked to the small living room that had been carved out of the office.
On the table was a glass of wine and two wide-mouthed glasses.
Watanabe Manyumi unscrewed the cork, poured light wine into two glasses, took one in each hand, walked up to Shinichi Iwahashi, and handed him one of them.
Shinichi Iwahashi took the glass and cast an inquiring glance at her.
Watanabe Manyumi saw it, smiled and blamed him, "At work, Iwahashi-san and I have many ideas that coincide, but I didn't expect that in this kind of thing, it became dull. ”
Hearing her say this, Shinichi Iwahashi smiled as well.
Watanabe raised her glass, "To celebrate with you." ”
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her and asked knowingly, "However, this is work time, is it okay to drink openly?"
"You're still shirking the invitation from your boss, and that's the big problem. Watanabe Manyumi suddenly realized that he had known for a long time but deliberately pretended to be stupid and domineering the president.
Iwahashi Shin heard this and laughed hard. Then he raised his glass, "Okay, boss." ”
This call poked Watanabe's laughter again.
The two lightly clinked glasses and drank the celebratory wine. After drinking one glass, Watanabe Manyumi took the glass back from his hand and put it back on the table, saying to him, "It doesn't matter if you drink only this." ”
Shinichi Iwahashi was a little unsatisfied, "However, it's really good wine." ”
"I've heard that Iwahashi-san has a good amount of alcohol, and even the staff at AE call you the Ginza Roppongi Guide for Walking. Watanabe Manyumi threw a cold sentence, as if he was taking revenge for his stupidity just now.
Iwahashi Shinichi Waterfall Khan, "How can there be such a thing." ”
"Did I hear me wrong," Watanabe said with a smile.
Shin Iwahashi denied it again and again, and pulled the chubby young man Yasushi Akimoto out, "It was when I was running for Matsumoto-san before, I followed Mr. Akimoto to play and listened, and it was just a talk on paper." ”
If he really played Ginza and Roppongi, he couldn't admit anything he hadn't done.
"I see. Watanabe Manyumi nodded, "It seems that Akimoto-san values you very much." ”
I don't know if I value it or not, but the messy and boring theories have taught him a lot. Iwahashi Shinichi thought.
Tonight, Akina Nakamori is traveling from Tokyo to Kyoto for two days on location. Before leaving, she stood in front of the telephone in the entrance of her house and talked to Yukiko Okada on the phone. Flash Dance
Akina Nakamori, who is at the peak of her career, rarely has a holiday, and after going to see Joan Jet's concert that day, until today, there is no more than two hours of time.
"Taking the Shinkansen to Kyoto is just the perfect opportunity to take a break. Akina Nakamori said into the other end of the phone.
Yukiko Okada was a little worried about her, "You have to pay more attention to your body." ”
The simple care made Akina Nakamori's heart warm, "No problem, I'll pay more attention." Thank you, Nozomi Yukiko. ”
Recently, Yukiko Okada has been working very little, and her heart is no longer focused on her career, but more focused on her studies, and she is also on the job site for the next year's university exams.
Her family used to oppose her because she insisted on being an idol, but it turned around, and the fierce opposition turned out to be a real omen of misfortune.
Fortunately, there is no danger. Now, Yukiko Okada lives with her mother. She also confided in Akina Nakamori that she would leave the entertainment industry after the contract ended.
After hearing this, Akina Nakamori was sincerely happy for Yukiko Okada. I'm glad she's found a new place in life.
At this time, Yukiko Okada suddenly said, "Speaking of Joan Jet's concert just now, Akina-san must also know about the women's rock festival." ”
"Of course, Joan Jett announced it at the concert venue. At that time, everyone was confused. ”
As soon as Akina Nakamori's words fell, she suddenly remembered the young man next to her who was about to high-five her in celebration. When the people in the venue were confused, he said "it worked".
The impression that young man left on Akina Nakamori was really vivid and profound.
Yukiko Okada was on the other end of the phone, as if announcing a big event, and said in a somewhat proud tone, "Akina-san, this music festival is planned by Iwahashi-san." ”
Yukiko Okada tells Akina Nakamori something she doesn't understand.
"Is that Iwahashi-san" Akina Nakamori's heart moved. She still remembered the agent who helped Yukiko Okada when she was standing on the edge of the cliff and pulled Yukiko Okada back from the line of death.
Akina Nakamori has always been grateful to the agent she has never met, and thanked him for being able to lend a helping hand to her friend. If that call hadn't worked, she couldn't imagine what would have happened next.
Although now, after several medical aesthetic surgeries, there are almost no traces on Yukiko Okada's wrists. However, when Yukiko Okada mentioned the name, Akina Nakamori couldn't help but think of the hideous wound she had seen lying on Yukiko Okada's slender and white wrist.
"Yes. "Yukiko Okada didn't know what Akina Nakamori was thinking, and couldn't wait to share with her about Shinichi Iwahashi," I talked to Iwahashi-san on the phone, and he told me. ”
Such an innocent and simple voice makes people feel a trace of haze, and it also dispels the picture that just appeared in Akina Nakamori's mind.
Now Yukiko Okada has found a new path in life. Then, Akina Nakamori thought that the person who rescued her from the quagmire of life and left a hideous wound on her wrist is now the one who is actively facing life is Shinichi Iwahashi.
What kind of person is that?
At this time, Yukiko Okada said again, "Iwahashi-san said that Joan Jet was like a prank, and he must go to the concert site." As a result, he didn't expect that she would make such a statement, which shocked him, but he was very happy."
Shinichi Iwahashi didn't tell Yukiko Okada that his next door was Akina Nakamori. He always felt that if he told it, he would be no different from a gossip person. It's just a chance encounter, and it's not worth talking about.
However, hearing Okada's words, Akina Nakamori's mind suddenly appeared with the figure of the young man who was about to high-five her in celebration, as well as his proud and innocent eyes.
"If you were someone else, you would be shocked when you heard it suddenly," said Akina Nakamori.
She didn't tell Yukiko Okada about the young man.
Not only Akina Nakamori was curious about Shinichi Iwahashi, but after the plan for the music festival was announced, the name was paid more attention.
With Watanabe Productions officially announcing the plans for this festival, the question of "what is a women's rock festival" has been answered.
The public, relieved of their doubts, also turned their attention to this unprecedented music festival. Whether it's curiosity, anticipation, or something else, the publicity is in place.
However, the industry, which was caught off guard by Watanabe's big moves, raised another problem.
That's what kind of person is Iwahashi Shinichi
Diners will think that the food in the restaurant is delicious, but the rival restaurant will care if the restaurant has changed its cook.
In this project, outsiders pay attention to the music festival, but insiders pay attention to the people behind the festival.
The entertainment market is huge, but the entertainment industry is not big. In other words, although the entertainment industry is big, because of the characteristics of this "circle", there is nowhere to hide secrets for insiders, and at the same time, there are no questions that cannot be answered.
On the other hand, it is precisely because of the characteristics of the "circle", when the insiders want to let the outsiders know something, they open the circle, and when they don't want the outsiders to know, once the circle is closed, a trace of wind can't be seen.
Because of this, as soon as he breathed a little, the name "Shinichi Iwahashi", which had never been heard of, appeared in the ears of the executives of various studios and record companies who were following Watanabe's big move.
This Iwahashi Shinichi, who the hell is it?
His resume is simple and excessive, a new employee who has just turned 20 and only joined Watanabe Productions this year. However, this simple and excessive resume is, to some extent, at the same time strong enough to make people look at it.
Watanabe Productions, which has been silent for a long time, has done two things that have caused a sensation in the industry in the past year.
The first is to plan the transformation of the idol Matsumoto Akiko, who is not in the stream, and even the atmosphere of the entire idol industry has also been affected, and now I don't know how many little idols are imitating Matsumoto Akiko's road to popularity.
The second is to plan an international women's rock festival centered on Yuben, and even the world-recognized rock queen Joan Jet has publicly stated that she wants to participate.
In the 80s, Watanabe Production, which had turned to Shoucheng and gradually withdrew from the first-line hegemony, suddenly changed his sex, and did these two major events in one go, and behind these two major events, they are related to the name Shinichi Iwahashi.
As soon as this young member joined the club, he planned the transformation of Akiko Matsumoto, and then proposed a plan for a women's rock music festival, and personally came to persuade Joan Jet to win the strongest hole card that could successfully hold this music festival.
It's not uncommon to have an idea, but it's not the same if you have an idea and you can put it into action and be successful.
For a while, the eyes of the industry focused on this young member named Shinichi Iwahashi, wondering if he would come up with any eye-catching plans next.
But in the midst of the speculation and attention about Shinichi Iwahashi, there is also a pinch of eyes that looks at the woman hidden behind Shinichi Iwahashi, the second daughter of the late President Shin Watanabe.
Watanabe Manyumi has always been behind the scenes, quite mysterious, and the outside world knows very little about her, and the most distinctive identity is "Watanabe Shinji's daughter". But this time, it is said that she firmly supported Iwahashi Shinichi's plan.
Could it be that this second lady hidden behind the scenes is ready to come to the stage
None of it, Watanabe Production, which is on the decline, is ready to take advantage of this fresh wind to carry out reforms
Could it be that there is about to change power within Watanabe Productions, so he has changed his course
Isn't it
While the public is talking about the festival, the industry is secretly speculating about Watanabe's two successive abnormal actions.
