688. A long-term household
I'm not here to sabotage your project, I'm here to join yours!
Needless to say, Daiyuki Nagato, as a producer, has his considerable vision and talent. Shin Iwahashi looked at the audition tape brought by Daiyuki Nagado and listened to his commentary, and I admired his talent as a producer, and at the same time, I saw the strength of BEING from the level of musicians who participated in his group temporarily.
In the end, it is a production company that has been established for more than ten years, and even further, Nagato Daiyuki has been active as a musician since before he started his own business, and there are many experienced musicians in the production team of the small BEING.
In contrast, GENZO, which has not been established for a long time, is basically signed by newcomers. Fresh blood is fresh enough, but again, it can't produce a mature performance like the one shown in this audition video.
As a producer, the president of Nagato is worthy of his experience working with BOWWY and LOUDNESS, and BEING is the production company that has been entrusted with Sony's carte blanche to produce best-selling bands like TUBE.
Shinichi Iwahashi has no problem with the combination prepared by Daiyuki Nagato and the combination configuration of the "Hinamotsuri dolls" that he envisioned, and he can even appreciate the ingenuity of this arrangement.
The group, which was made using the arrangement of the Hinamari dolls, is quite consistent with the concept that Daiyuki Nagato mentioned at the first meeting that the song could be sung at karaoke and parties.
Not only that, but it also provides an interactive template for people who are ready to sing this song at karaoke and social parties in the morning.
The president of Nagato is ambitious. Iwahashi Shinichi sensed Nagato Daiyuki's ambition, and his heart was even more confident.
Iwahashi Shinichi admired Nagato Daiyuki in his heart, and Nagato Daiyuki himself felt complacent with such an idea that concentrated his wisdom and sophistication. Before he could see the audition video brought by Shinichi Iwahashi, Daiyuki Nagato already had the confidence that he would not lose to this young producer.
However, Iwahashi Shin'ichi appreciated it in his heart, but he remained silent and continued to go through the process, asking Nagato Daiyuki to watch the audition video of Keiko Utoku.
Of course, unlike the combination of ease and warm atmosphere, the inexperienced Utoku Keiko seems quite clumsy. Even if you are an ordinary person, if you watch these two tapes in a row, you will vote for Nagato Daiyuki's side.
Iwahashi Shinichi admired Nagato Daiyuki's production talent in his heart, and Nagato Daiyuki, watching Utoku Keiko's performance, although he felt that she was immature and clumsy - he felt that Iwahashi Shinichi was too naïve to come up with such a girl to call him a board.
However, I have to say that the performance of this Yude Keiko made his eyes shine.
First of all, she is beautiful enough, with excellent appearance, good figure, and a memory point for temperament...... This young producer has a good eye for women.
In addition, the singing voice also has a flavor and a characteristic demeanor, which is the type of singer that Nagato Daiyuki likes. While watching Yude Keiko's performance, he felt a little regret and pity in his heart, and remembered the band plan that he had been planning, but could only be put aside for the time being because he couldn't choose a suitable female lead singer for a while.
Such a girl, if she could be under his hands, he would never let her perform so nondescriptly.
The two producers looked at the singer each other's preparation, thinking about their own things.
......
For Nagato Daiyuki, BEING's side has songs and ideas and talents, and it seems to be a loss just to get a production fee, so he wants to do everything he can to do his best to negotiate the conditions.
Now that the production rights are in front of him, Kansai businessman Nagato Daiyuki is preparing to propose his further plan - the original rights to the song after its release.
After getting the original right, not only will you not get an extra royalty from the original disk, but as long as the song is used for commercial purposes in the future, then BEING's income will be indispensable.
Nagato Daiyuki's abacus was as good as he wanted, he felt that the time was ripe, and he had always had the upper hand at today's meeting, and was about to take advantage of this momentum to start further negotiations on the conditions, but he was called back by Iwahashi Shinichi with a word.
"Regarding the original rights to this song, I can't agree to this. He said.
Nagato Daiyuki looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, he was unhurried, "It's not that I'm stingy with the original rights of the song, if I can, I also hope that President Nagado can get more benefits-"
When he said this, Nagato Daiyuki didn't believe a word.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi then bypassed the production of the song and brought the topic to the issue of publicity after the release of the song. He began to play cards unreasonably, and Nagato Daiyuki was flashed by him, so he could only listen to him first.
From the first meeting, Iwahashi Shinichi always played his cards one step late, waiting for Nagato Daiyuki to speak, and seemed to be passive. Now, he has switched from defense to offense, and Nagato Daiyuki has realized the cunning of this young producer.
"Even though it's an anime theme song, neither Nagato-san nor I'm going to want it to be just a children's song, are they?" Shinchi Iwahashi made clear the ambitions they shared.
Nagato Daiyuki was silent and listened to him continue.
"The pattern of the combination has been given, and the song is of course important, but if you want to become popular, you need to publicize it in place. ”
Iwahashi Shinichi was unhurried and said his idea, "Regarding the publicity, I have negotiated with Fuji TV and Shueisha before, and decided to sell the original rights in exchange for the corresponding publicity resources. ”
The original right to this thing, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't give Nagato a big luck, and he wasn't ready to stay.
Not only the original rights, but also the production rights to be left to BEING and the distribution rights to be kept by the record company, other things that can bring benefits have been arranged by Shinichi Iwahashi and dispersed to various forces such as TV stations and publishing houses.
Of course, this is not hot-headed, and it is impossible to prevent the long-term family from making a profit.
Iwahashi Shinichi knew that Utoku Keiko couldn't compare to the combination prepared by Nagato Daiyuki, so it didn't matter if he had to admit defeat and hand over the production rights, anyway, from the very beginning, he proposed to compete with Nagato Daiyuki, not to leave half of the production rights, but fortunately, he later entered the recording studio and quarreled with Nagato Daiyuki for the production.
On the contrary, his idea was to give all the production rights to Nagato Daiyuki, but nothing other than the production rights would give Nagato Daiyuki a chance to get involved.
As a production company, BEING takes that share of the production, and the rest of the production cannot participate.
To put it bluntly, the closer the cooperation between a small record company that has just opened and a small production company that is well-known in the industry but lacks support, the more closely the two sides cooperate and the tighter the distribution of benefits, the more disadvantageous it is.
Not only can't you put your eggs in one basket, but this kind of temporary cooperation in the plastic industry, when TV stations and comic publishers are very strong, instead of fighting with small companies like BEING for copyright and leaving the strong parties aside, it is better to release everything that can be released at the beginning.
The theme song of a family's daily animation, its original rights to the TV station, it doesn't seem to be worth much. In order to win the trust of the TV station, Shinichi Iwahashi briefly explained his plan to the TV station, saying that he wanted to produce a best-selling song instead of an anime theme song, so as to win the interest of the TV station.
After all, Shinichi Iwahashi still has the reputation of "golden hand", and the TV station is willing to believe him once. The two sides decided that the sales and trend of the single after its release will determine what kind of publicity the follow-up TV station will give.
In this way, the TV station will not suffer a loss, and it has the original right in hand, in case it is really popular, there are still a lot of cheap to make. And Shinichi Iwahashi also paved the way for the promotion of the song after its release.
Interests are involved, and as long as this song has signs of becoming popular in the future, the TV station will not sit idly by.
These were negotiated by Nagato Daiyuki when he didn't know it.
Similarly, the TV station didn't know about the things he was discussing with Nagato Daiyuki.
From beginning to end, Iwahashi Shinichi did not intend to hold all the benefits in his hands.
Nagato Daiyuki has outstanding production talents, and the "crackling crackling" tune is good, and the production plan he prepared Iwahashi Shinichi also admires.
Therefore, I will give the production rights to BEING, save my worries and be the shopkeeper, and then exchange other copyrights for the favor and support of TV stations and publishing houses, make good use of the publicity resources in exchange, and make the cake of this song bigger together.
As long as the TV station is involved, Nagato Daiyuki will not back down.
makes a hit song, and you can eat the oil at the corners of your mouth just by relying on the distribution rights in your hand. No matter how much copyright you have in your hand, it will be meaningless if you only sell 50,000 copies in the end.
The most important thing is that if you can work together for a win-win situation, you can also take the opportunity to save contacts and relationships.
For Shinichi Iwahashi, it is important to make money, and it is even more important to seize every opportunity to pave the way.
“......”
Nagato Daiyuki listened to Iwahashi Shinichi's words, and his heart was blocked and he couldn't speak.
I didn't expect this guy to be so cunning! Nagato Daiyuki had reason to believe that Shinichi Iwahashi had already arranged everything before the meeting, and he didn't say anything until he was stuck here and couldn't get up or down.
Kansai merchant Nagato Daiyuki, of course, also understands that the bigger the cake, the more you will eat in your stomach.
Scattering the various copyrights also means that there will be more cooperation in the subsequent publicity period. This song is light and lively, not afraid of being sung tiredly, but afraid that too few people will hear it, and it is self-evident what the propaganda of the big battle can bring.
At this point, there is no second option.
Only with full cooperation, singing and contributing, and using the best lineup to produce it - and the guy surnamed Iwahashi just needs to wait to get the finished product!
The reason why Nagato Daiyuki feels blocked in his heart is because, at this point, if he fails to cooperate in the end because of the lack of interest negotiations, then he will invisibly offend Fuji TV.
After Shinichi Iwahashi negotiated with Fuji TV and Shueisha, it meant that Nagato Daiyuki had no other choice. He hadn't even seen the TV station and the publishing house in person, so he was pushed here by Shinichi Iwahashi.
Nagato Daiyuki is ambitious and will never be willing to be just the head of a production company. Because of this, he will not be so short-sighted as to offend the TV station for a song no matter what. He came into contact with Iwahashi Shinichi, and the ambition that was inadvertently exposed just gave Iwahashi a way to balance him.
First of all, he said to Cherry, "I am willing to help President Nagato realize his wish", and left a good impression on the TV station and the publishing house. This young producer is light and ingenious, and he has done enough to be a good person, but he has to bow his head.
"I see, BEING will do their best to make this song. With the support of the TV station, Iwahashi-san is good at propaganda - he can definitely get good results. ”
Nagato Daiyuki pinched his nose and praised Shinichi Iwahashi.
When I watched the audition video of Yude Keiko just now, because of Yude Keiko's immaturity, I felt that this young producer was naïve......
It's naïve!
Bad and cunning!
When the matter was settled, Shinichi Iwahashi also behaved cheerfully and generously, "That being said, no matter how much publicity is given, there must be high-quality tunes first. It's up to Nagato-san to show his skills. In the meantime, if there is anything that needs my help, please feel free to ask. ”
"Of course," he emphasized, "I only listen to Nagato-san's orders, and I don't bother with the production." ”
Nagato Daiyuki squeezed out a smile and said in a cordial tone, "Then it's a pleasure to work together, Iwahashi-san." ”
There was a lot of kindness on his face, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, good people have let this guy be, and good things have been done by this guy, what is it if this guy says something beautiful now?
However, since everyone is a good person in this matter, he cannot be the only evil person.
In the plastics industry, Daiyuki Nagato can only cooperate with Shinichi Iwahashi to play this play of "Everyone is a good person, and he himself is no exception".
And so it was decided.
Iwahashi Shinichi shook hands with Nagato Daiyuki and agreed to decide on the time of the third round of the meeting. When we met again, we sat in the conference room and arrived with the relevant staff.
......
Originally, it was just a soundtrack for a family's daily animation, and it was enough to come up with a decent children's rhyme. However, once you jump out of the "anime theme song" and look at the song as a great opportunity, it has a different meaning.
After talking to Nagato Daiyuki about the theme song, Shinichi Iwahashi called Sakura and told her that the theme song had decided to use the song "Let's Dance Together".
"In other words, my lyrics come in handy?"
Cherry on the phone, although her voice was sleepy after staying up late at work, but when she heard what Shinichi Iwahashi told her, her emotions immediately rose.
"That's right, I want to invite people from all over the country to 'crackle and crackle' together. Iwahashi said.
He said this, and Cherry laughed on the phone.
"Did I say something inappropriate?" Iwahashi was confused.
Cherry denied, "It's nothing, just happy." ”...... I can't tell Iwahashi-san, I can't imagine that he looks so capable and calm, and he can still say witty things.
"Thank you again, Iwahashi-san. ”
Cherry thanked him, "Thank you for taking my wayward offer so seriously. Thank you also for your willingness to help Nagato-san and make his wish come true. ”
"You're so nice. "She meant it.
