Sato treats this incident as a topic of conversation during small talk, and when he speaks of it, not only the people present do not take it seriously, but even he, the person who said it, does not think it is a big deal.

"I told Cherry Ko-san that the commissioned music producer was an amazing person, and asked her to rest assured. ”

Sato didn't mind saying a little more nice things about Shinichi Iwahashi. However, he concealed the fact that Cherry praised him for the tune brought by the music producer.

In Sato's view, this is not a deliberate concealment, but it is unnecessary, anyway, the manga author has never had much say in the matter of animation.

If there is no related record company behind this animation company, then, at the negotiation stage, Sakuriko has a recommended producer, and the production committee may listen to her opinions as appropriate and list the songs she recommends as candidates.

But now that there are must-have record labels here, it's impossible for the production committee to consider other options. In itself, I will deliberately take this matter out and say it, just to compliment the young producer present and get closer to each other.

This kind of thing is well known to everyone, and it is enough to listen to the kind words.

However, although the others present did not pay attention, Shinichi Iwahashi was a little curious, wondering what kind of production company the person in charge of ran to the manga author to recommend himself.

After all, it's just a family routine, and even if you get the production rights of the theme song, you may not be able to reap much benefit from it, and it's not a good resource worth fighting for.

In this way, I will also run to recommend myself to the original author of the comic - deliberately bypassing the editorial department of the magazine and the animation production committee and going straight to the original author of the comic, which seems a bit deliberate.

Iwahashi Shinichi felt that the person in charge of the production company who went to recommend himself to the original author was a little suspicious, and pondered for a while, not planning to just forget it, but he still went to ask Sato again.

"Did Cherry Zi Sang say that she recommended herself to be the head of a production company?"

Sato said it as a small talk, originally to lift Iwahashi Shinichi, but he didn't expect Iwahashi Shinichi to take it to heart, so he deliberately ran over to inquire again.

"What kind of production company?" he himself was confused, and thought for a moment, "It seems to be called BEING? ”

At that time, when Sakuriko told Sato about this, Sato felt that since he was already going to cooperate with Shinichi Iwahashi, there was no need to make any extraneous problems, so although Sakuriko praised the song he received as "sounding good", he had no intention of auditioning, and he was not interested in the person in charge of the production company who had found the manga author.

Now Iwahashi Shinichi asked about it, and I can't tell you too much information.

“BEING？”

However, hearing the name, Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

The dice of life spin around, and another unexpected point is turned.

Previously, when he was first asked to make the theme song for "Cherry Maruko", he immediately thought of the song "crackling, crackling", but the song had already been registered for copyright, and the person who held the copyright was the production company BEING.

Now, he heard the name BEING from the people in the editorial department of RIBON.

If memory serves, their person in charge is a man named "Nagato Daiyuki". And now, the person in charge of the production company has gone to the original author of the manga with the song to recommend himself.

Or did you deliberately bypass the magazine's editorial office and the animation production committee?

Shinichi Iwahashi felt that it was a bit of a coincidence that he heard the name of BEING, the production company that he had investigated, in such a situation.

However, after thinking about it, I feel that it is inevitable that the production company that holds the copyright of "Crackle Crackling" has found the original author of the comic.

He was thoughtful, but Sato was vague and continued to say what he heard from Cherry, "I heard that it was because the person in charge of their company liked this manga, so they specially gave the song made by the company to Cherry-ko-san." Say, one day, if the manga can be animated, hopefully you can consider using their tunes. ”

"I see. Iwahashi nodded cautiously.

However, I was still reminiscing about the fact that the person in charge of BEING went to find the cherry seed.

It's because Nagato likes this manga that he proposed to make the manga's theme song, and if it is explained in this way, it seems to make sense why he bypassed the magazine's editorial office and animation production committee.

But even so, before the official announcement of the anime of the manga, it is possible to find the comic author himself, and the timing is either to hear the rumors of the gossip or to feel keen.

Anyway, "it just so happened that the time to find a cherry to recommend himself bumped into a manga to be animated", Iwahashi Shinichi would not think that Nagato Daiyuki had such good luck like a koi, so that he was able to bring such good luck with cherry seeds as soon as he found it.

"I don't know what kind of song it is. He said.

Sato looked at Shinichi Iwahashi's reaction and felt incredible. What the hell is this young producer thinking, and why is he always interested in what he has or doesn't?

"Well," he provoked, and he had to continue, "I don't know. It's just that I heard Cherry Zi-san mention such a thing on the phone. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi also felt that there was no point in asking Sato again, so he stopped in moderation and politely removed the topic.

However, I still haven't completely let go in my heart, pondering, I don't know if the song that Nagato Daiyuki took to recommend himself is the song "Crackling and Crackling"?

If Daiyuki Nagato really said when he went to visit Cherry Seed, because he is a fan of "Cherry Maruko", he wants to make the theme song of the anime.

If that's the case, it seems that the difficulty of negotiating with BEING and the president of Nagato to buy the right to use "Crackling Crackling" has been reduced a lot.

After all, to use it for Shinichi Iwahashi's company was also to fulfill Daiyuki Nagado's wish that "if the manga can be animated, I hope I can consider using their tunes".

Iwahashi Shinichi thought to himself that he would have to attend a meeting of the animation production committee in the future, and it was said that he was just making a tune, and there was no need to meet with the original author of the manga. But now, he felt the need to visit Cherry Seed before he started.

Figure out whether this "famous pop" who already has a master can be used by him.

Since Nagato Daiyuki deliberately went around in circles, bypassing the editorial office and the production committee, and went directly to Cherryko. Shinichi Iwahashi might as well push the boat along the way, bypass the producer who doesn't know what he's thinking, and talk to Cherry Son.

The person who said that he wanted to make the theme song because he was a fan of the manga was Daiyuki Nagato himself, so there was no better way to do it than to let the author of the manga be the middleman.

Iwahashi Shin'ichi probably had some idea in his mind and knew how to do it.

And he was finally willing to let go of this topic, and Sato also quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, for fear that this puzzling guy would ask some more questions.

After that, no one mentioned it again.

......

On Sunday, Akina Nakamori has been busy since the morning.

An assistant arrives early in the morning to help her prepare for next week's trip to Los Angeles. Things like storage and tidying are not something that an assistant can do.、You can only be commanded by Ming Cai-san.,Do some work such as covering furniture with dust covers.、Check equipment.。

After being in the industry for so long, I have been familiar with the assistant manual, and not long ago, I passed the first crisis of my assistant career in a thrilling way.

Akina Nakamori is full of energy, directing the little assistant to be busy, and he is not idle at all, when he is doing something, the whole person looks at the endless energy, and the little assistant looks at it, willing to bow down.

In this way, I will go to the afternoon to be interviewed and photographed by a magazine, and then I will go to Nagoya, and in the evening I will record a program on Tokai TV, and I will spend the night in Nagoya.

Then the next day, I had to go to Osaka. Osaka is followed by Los Angeles......

You have to pack two portions of luggage alone, one for today and tomorrow, and the other for when you are on a long business trip. These are all sorted out by Akina Nakamori herself.

She has a lot of experience in business travel and is very comfortable doing it. While tidying up, I thought about the agreement I made with Shinichi Iwahashi on the phone last night, and I suddenly felt full of energy for today's trip.

It's not a rare opportunity to meet Shinichi Iwahashi, and this high mood seems a bit exaggerated. If you say it, you will be ridiculed.

But only Akina Nakamori herself knows that the full expectation does not come from the "meeting" itself, but from the satisfaction of Shinichi Iwahashi doing something for her that he would not have done before.

Just to see each other for a short while, he deliberately made a big circle, which is not like what the capable Iwahashi Shinichi did. However, if you make up your mind, you will do it, and you will not shy away from it, even if you are in trouble, and this is something that the determined Shinichi Iwahashi can do.

Akina Nakamori is like an elementary school student who has just been given a beautiful new eraser on Sunday and is looking forward to showing off to her classmates when she goes to school on Monday, so much so that she forgets the pain of going to school after the holiday, and is looking forward to tonight's business trip for a while.

Even Nagoya, which I've been to many times, suddenly felt that the city was full of charm because there was an agreement there.

If these thoughts were known, it would be very silly, and she would never say them. It's just that when Akina Nakamori herself is busy, she occasionally thinks about it and feels happy in her heart, and she is satisfied first.

In the evening, she and her accompanying staff went to Nagoya. On the way to Tokai TV, Akina Nakamori sat in the car, her eyes swept over the streetscape outside the window, swept to the phone booth on the side of the street, and took a serious look.

It seems that it is necessary to confirm in advance what the phone booth that Iwahashi Shinichi will use will look like after that.

I repeated this two or three times, and suddenly I felt weird and funny, and withdrew my gaze.

The most important thing on the street is a telephone booth, and if you look at it like this, it will be endless. I don't know which one Iwahashi Shinichi will use. However, because of the agreement in advance, even the most common phone booths have a special meaning.

It was the first time she saw a phone booth on the street and thought of calling Shinichi Iwahashi, and since then, the phone booth on the street has been given a special meaning.

In a way, talking on the phone in a phone booth and jokingly saying the code "this is a public phone" is also evidence that two people tame each other without knowing it.

However, at this moment, when she began to realize the special significance of the phone booth, she also became aware of the fact of "taming".

Akina Nakamori retracted her gaze, gathered her thoughts, and prepared for the next work.

The assistant sat next to her, occasionally turning his head to look at her to make sure she had any needs, and occasionally checking his workbook.

I arrived at Tokai TV on time and went to the lounge to prepare for makeup. Once in the workplace, Akina Nakamori immediately sat in front of the dressing table with a strained face and applied makeup to herself.

Tonight's program is a joint production of Tokai TV and Fuji TV, and in order to share the risk, the four major Minfang will adopt a joint production method and co-produce the program with local TV stations under the same simulcast network.

In this way, the production cost can be shared and the pressure can be relieved.

......

Akina Nakamori entered the studio, and the accompanying staff, her agent Omoto and her assistant were all guarding outside the studio, on call.

The recording of the program went smoothly. The scheduled recording was two to three hours, and now it seems that it will be over by ten o'clock.

Sure enough, after 9:40 p.m., it was all over.

The signal of "end" was issued, and the atmosphere in the studio was suddenly relaxed.

It's boring to watch the recording progress outside.,It's better to do something more comfortable.,The little assistant is the kind of person who is easy to get distracted at night.,It's hard to wait until the end.,Go over to greet Akina Nakamori.。

Akina Nakamori, her co-actors, and the staff at the scene greeted each other politely, and then walked to her side.

Recording the show is very hard, and the people facing the camera have to think about the expressions on their faces. As soon as the shouting was over, she was physically and mentally exhausted, returned to her own side, and wrinkled her face at the little assistant.

"Ha~"

sighed with such an image, and couldn't say whether he was coquettish or how.

The little assistant looked at Akina Nakamori like this, and felt that she had been busy all night, and that her tired appearance was strangely interesting.

Looking at poor Akina Nakamori, I went back to the lounge and the first thing I did was to check the pager.

"Would you like to go get something to eat? Big Ben consulted with her.

Akina Nakamori shook her head, "I can't eat anything." She put down the pager and began to remove her makeup. Big Ben then got up and avoided it, leaving only the little assistant beside him, ready to be called.

The little assistant sat behind Akina Nakamori and looked at her face in the mirror.

Akina Nakamori lowered her gaze, glanced at the pager that was set aside, and smiled.

"Ahh ”

The little assistant looked at Akina Nakamori in the mirror with a smile on her face.

"What's wrong?" asked Akina Nakamori.

The little assistant shook his head in the mirror, sincerely, "I think Mingcai-san is beautiful." ”

"Huh?"

Akina Nakamori didn't expect to hear such words, so she reacted and laughed.
