Miwa-chan's initial worries were unnecessary, and when the two people who had stolen Suzuki's lunch box came out for a spin and filled up the gas tank, they returned to Yoyogi's recording studio, where Nakamura Masato was still asleep.

The two people who had done "bad things" looked at each other and laughed, Iwahashi Shin put the car keys back in their place, picked up the small note left on the table, threw it into the wastebasket, and whispered to Miwa-chan, "Are you leaving?"

Miwa-chan yawned slightly, "Let's go." ”

After an all-nighter, the only way to go home is to catch up on sleep.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the station was full of people with puffy faces after a hangover. Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa-chan, who also have a tired face, will probably be regarded as one of the people who return home early in the morning after an all-night party.

Many of those who returned home early in the morning had not been home since Friday night.

Nowadays, land is expensive, and land in Tokyo has reached a prohibitive and terrifying number, and ordinary office workers want to have a house of their own in Tokyo.

After the city couldn't afford to buy in the suburbs, and even the land prices in the suburbs became unaffordable, real estate developers began to encourage buyers to consider satellite cities around Tokyo.

There are more and more office workers who work in Shinjuku, but buy houses in Kanagawa, Saitama, and even Utsunomiya, and when it comes to holidays, they are too lazy to go home and come to Tokyo to be chic, so they simply stay in a hotel in Tokyo for two days and go home early on Sunday morning.

The background of the whole people's land speculation breeds a panic, and the sense of urgency that they can't afford to buy it now and after they can't afford it is forced to pay their entire net worth, take out decades of loans, and buy a house in the suburbs far from Tokyo. For this reason, even if you spend a few hours a day commuting to and from work, you still have no regrets.

Shinichi Iwahashi said goodbye to Miwa-chan at the station, then returned to his apartment and slept like a student who had just finished his exam.

After a big sleep, I opened my eyes again, and it was almost one o'clock, and there was a pager, and it was Watanabe Manyumi.

"I just woke up. Shinichi Iwahashi said to her.

On the other end of the phone, Watanabe Manyumi expressed understanding, "Did you celebrate all night when you went back?"

"Bingo, that's right. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "Is there something wrong?"

"In the afternoon, can I come to the office?" asked Watanabe, "I have something to discuss with you." ”

Iwahashi knew that it was mostly about the band's subsequent signing, and replied, "Okay." ”

Hanging up the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi opened the refrigerator to check the stock, and cooked something to fill his stomach.

After eating, I went into the bathroom to take a shower, shaved my beard, cleaned up almost at 10:20, and set off from home to U-MIZ's office in Roppongi.

As soon as I entered Watanabe's office, I saw wine and two wide-mouthed wine glasses on the coffee table in the small reception room in the corner.

Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but smile, "Do you want to celebrate again?"

Watanabe Manyumi got up and walked towards him, "I won the championship, and the band's debut is also close at hand, so of course I want to celebrate." ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. ”

She had the heart to celebrate, and Shinichi Iwahashi didn't have anything to say. What's more, when something good happens, clink glasses to celebrate, which is a common practice between him and Watanabe Manyumi when he was still making Watanabe.

Watanabe uncorked the wine, poured about the same amount of wine into both glasses, and handed one of them to Shinichi Iwahashi.

The two clinked glasses lightly and drank the celebratory wine.

After drinking this glass, Shinichi Iwahashi said casually, "It's really good wine." ”

Watanabe Manyumi listened, smiled, and asked him, "Would you like another drink?"

"Okay?"

"So what's the matter, it's Sunday anyway, so it doesn't hurt to drink a little. Watanabe said, pouring wine into the glasses of the two of them.

Shinichi Iwahashi took the glass and touched it lightly in her hand, "Then let's do it again." ”

After the second drink, Watanabe Manyumi looked at him, "Do you want to do it again?"

"Save it for another time when something good happens. Iwahashi Shinichi said, "If you drink it again, it's not a celebration, but a decadent life with a glass of wine in the afternoon." ”

Hearing him say this, Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "Yes." I had a hunch that something good would happen again soon. ...... After last night's game, you and Yoshida-san and Nakamura-san probably drank a lot?"

"Not really. Iwahashi Shin put the glass back.

"To toast with me like this is to drink two celebratory wines. Watanabe Manyumi's tone was relaxed, "However, you and Yoshida-san Nakamura-san are partners, and you and I are also partners." ”

"Of course. Shin'ichi Iwahashi made a little joke, "Besides, you still have such good sake here." ”

Watanabe Manyumi also put down her glass and held out her hand to him.

Shinichi Iwahashi looked puzzled.

"How to celebrate......" Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "You and Yoshida-san Nakamura-san have your way of celebrating, but if the two of us are the same, it's better to shake hands." ”

She remained silent and gave a little soft nail.

Iwahashi Shinichi heard this, and his ears twitched. Reach out and take her hand, "That's fine." ”

"Then we will continue to cooperate happily, Shen Yijun. Watanabe Manyumi looked at him.

They are also like-minded comrades-in-arms and partners, however, Watanabe Manyumi can't and won't act as he wants like Miwa Yoshida.

The two hands were clasped together, and after a while, she was the first to let go.

"A total of 26 record companies have expressed their interest in the band. Watanabe Manyumi turned to business, "Do you have any ideas?"

She immediately got to the point, which made Iwahashi hesitate for a moment. stared at her cheeks, which were slightly pink because of drinking, and then said slowly: "The first thing is two things, one is to ensure the current style of the band, and the other is to let the band have a certain degree of autonomy in music production." ”

"These two points are basic," said Iwahashi Shinichi, "and after ensuring these two points, the next step is to look at the conditions." ”

"Reasonable. Watanabe Manyumi nodded, "The date of the signing meeting is set for Wednesday next week......" Seeing Iwahashi Shinichi's expression of approval, he continued, "When the time comes, it's up to you." ”

"Not necessarily. Shin Iwahashi joked, "Before on the TV station, the staff regarded Nakamura-san as the leader of the band. ”

"Who told you to wear a hood, or a giraffe. Watanabe Manyumi laughed hard, "If you're wearing a panda hood, maybe it's a different feeling." ”

Hearing her say this, Iwahashi Shinichi thought a little nonsensically, if Miwa-chan went to Ueno Zoo or Wakayama Zoo, it would be another matter, but if she went to Asahiyama Zoo, if you want to talk about bears, I'm afraid there will only be polar bears.

If you wear a polar bear hood, your current nickname will be White Bear-kun.

However, Watanabe could tell his intentions from his joke, "Shouldn't you wear a hood to the meeting?"

Shin'ichi Iwahashi smiled a little mischievously, "Isn't that interesting? If you reveal the answer at the beginning, it will be inconvenient for subsequent negotiations." ”

"That being said, once you're signed to a record label, it's only a matter of time before your identity is revealed. Watanabe said.

There is no reason to wear a hood to attend a business meeting, but there is no reason to wear a hood and sign a contract with a fake name.

"It doesn't matter, it's been thought about for a long time. Iwahashi smiled and didn't take it seriously, "The headgear is worn for the audience, not for the people behind the scenes." When participating in the competition, the judges and representatives are spectators, so they can't be taken off, but when the competition is over, it doesn't hurt to show the stuffing. ”

"Besides," he knew in his heart, "the company that signed the band will never be stupid enough to expose this matter to the audience, even if other companies know about it, they will not be able to say it." ”

The reason why he is so confident is because the show "Kingdom of Heaven" is now comparable to the prime-time ratings and rising topicality, as well as broad prospects.

"That's right. Watanabe's tone was also relaxed and not very attentive.

The show now has a lot of promise, with various record labels and studios involved, and a steady stream of companies wanting to come in and get a piece of the pie.

This show is not only about a DREAMS COME TRUE, before this there is the high-profile BEGIN and the human chair in the preparation of the debut, after which it is not known how many bands will come out, and these bands will be the seeds that will be valued by the record companies and companies in the audience.

In this case, since DREAMS COME TRUE did not break the rules, he won five games in a row to win the championship with his ability, which convinced the companies to chase after him. At this time, if anyone jumps out and says that the giraffe man of the band is the planner of the show, and there is a shady thing and the show is questioned, it is simply offending the industry.

Which is more important, the industry always has a clear distinction. Although the plastic flowers are fake, the advantage is that they will not wither.

......

After discussing the record company, Watanabe Manyumi mentioned another matter to him. However, it has nothing to do with Iwahashi Shinichi's side, it is a matter of U-MIZ.

"The firm is going to collaborate with the magazine next door to do an audition event. Watanabe said.

Her U-MIZ also has special scouts operating everywhere, however, the resources of the small firm are limited, and in the spirit of specialization, she does not eat too many people in one go, but adheres to the principle of focusing on the form of refinement rather than more.

This time, hearing that she was going to make a selection, Iwahashi Shinichi was a little surprised, but he immediately calmed down and felt that it was expected. However, the affairs of U-MIZ, Watanabe Manyumi casually mentioned, and Iwahashi Shinichi heard about it, so he didn't ask more.

In this era, I know how common the draft is, and all kinds of drafts are everywhere, and I can't wait to call the canteen aunts across the country to a "Miss Canteen" selection, and choose the one who can shake the spoon the most when cooking.

Nowadays, in these days, advocating luxury and advocating the limelight, young people are eager to be on TV, eager to become a star in the limelight, even for bonuses or Hawaiian travel vouchers, they are willing to show off their beauty.

Because of this, auditions are everywhere. There are talent shows that are broadcast on TV, and at the same time, there are also private talent shows with a poster flyer.

"In a word, it's an era of selling what you can sell. When Watanabe said this, she also felt a little incredible.

This sentence, Iwahashi Shinichi has heard more than one person mention it, and this is not Watanabe Manyumi's own feelings, but this is probably a portrayal of this era.

......

Monday.

Early this morning, Shinichi Iwahashi received feedback on the ratings as usual, and on the night of the championship of DREAMS COME TRUE, the ratings ushered in another increase, as high as 23.7. Ratings began to rise when the band came out, and the moment they announced their victory, they soared to 26.4, a record since the show began.

After the show aired, viewers called TV Asahi to ask about the debut of DREAMS COME TRUE, expressing their concern for their debut.

WHEN BEGIN WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP, THAT RATING WAS ENOUGH TO BE EYE-CATCHING. No one expected that after reaching that peak, the ratings of the show still had room to climb up, and after the decision of the second KING, a new record was set.

After receiving this rating, not only Shinichi Iwahashi was excited, but the entire program production team was in a super energetic state.

The adjustment period in April is approaching, and the high ratings of each episode before this are the confidence of the TV station to negotiate with the advertising sponsor. The staff who participated in the production of this band Heaven are now also in the TV production bureau.

One family is happy and one is sad.

In stark contrast to the band's climb to the top, Fuji TV's show, which plays against the show every Saturday night, is overwhelmed by ratings.

At the same time that the ratings of the band's heavenly kingdom climbed to a new peak, the ratings of Fuji TV's programs fell again, and the production team was anxious, although they survived the adjustment period in April, and if they continued like this, until October, sooner or later it would be cut in half.

However, after the cut in half, if the band Heaven can continue to maintain this momentum, what kind of program will they need to challenge them? After so many years of playing under TV Asahi, Fuji TV has finally tasted a headache for TV Asahi.

Watanabe's brother-in-law, Masaki Yoshida, works as a producer on Fuji TV, and although it has nothing to do with the show that was beaten to the ground, it doesn't prevent him from hearing about it.

When he got home, Masaki Yoshida told his wife and felt strange, "Wan Yumi really did something big this time." ”

Miki Yoshida listened and was speechless.

When BEGIN won the championship, she could still say that Wan Yumi would be busy in the next season, but now, the show is not only stable, but also getting better and better, and those superficial difficulties have been overcome by Wan Yumei one by one, and she can only watch.

There is also the band called DREAMS COME TRUE, Miki Yoshida remembers that the band once had to sign a contract with Watanabe Productions, and because of her conflict with Wan Yumi, they parted ways with the office, and now they are ......

Miki Yoshida looked at her husband and knew there was nothing else to do but shut up. Now, if you say anything else, it will only be regarded as jealousy.

However, Miki Yoshida couldn't help but think in her heart, is she really not jealous?
