408. A righteous spirit

Watanabe Manyumi called and asked about the record label. The two made an appointment, and on Friday afternoon, Shinichi Iwahashi went to Watanabe's office in Manyumi.

DREAMS COME TRUE's tour isn't over yet, but it's not every Saturday and Sunday, so he has room to go.

However, when he went to the office, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't bring a proposal with him, but brought something else.

Watanabe Manyumi glanced at the cover of the magazine he put on the table, and immediately understood that it was a male-oriented photo magazine, and couldn't help but show a slightly subtle expression.

"How did you bring this?" asked Watanabe.

Iwahashi Shinichi picked up the magazine and opened it, "I said before that I would let you get to know Kamaike-san, but there has been no suitable opportunity." However, I still want you to take a look at this and get a general idea of her. ”

"What is this?"

"A photo taken by Ka Chi-san. Shinichi Iwahashi told her.

Hearing him say this, Watanabe Manyumi looked at his face before taking the magazine, and his gaze fell on the page he had opened.

......

After promising Sachiko Kamaike and asking her to believe in herself, Shinichi Iwahashi reached a consensus with her.

After convincing Sachiko Kamaike, the next step is to consider how to negotiate with the Xingchen Office, not only to preserve the dignity of the Xingchen Office, but also to take into account the persistence shown by Sachiko Kamaike herself.

A good start is half the battle, and since you want to cooperate, you can't leave unpleasantness at the beginning.

In order to discuss, it is necessary to understand the current work status of Sachiko Kamaike. So, before contacting Watanabe Manyumi, he first went to look for a photo taken by Sachiko Kamaike.

Not long after Sachiko Kamaike's debut, she was unknown and didn't shoot many magazines, so it was not easy to buy a copy on purpose, so she had no choice but to push the task to Haruko Akamatsu and ask her to help ask Sachiko Kamaike for a copy.

Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't think this is rude, and in his opinion, Sachiko Kamaike, who insists that she can't throw aside the work she is doing because she has a good opportunity, will never think that the job she is doing is undignified.

Therefore, Haruko Akamatsu, who received such a task, felt inexplicable, considering that Shinichi Iwahashi was not the kind of person who would do useless things, so he was honest and obedient, and went to make this strange request to Sachiko Kamaike.

However, Sachiko Kamachi, who was conveyed by Haruko Akamatsu, did not care, and according to what Shinichi Iwahashi said, she took a magazine with her own appearance and handed it to Haruko Akamatsu.

......

Watanabe Manyumi flipped through the magazine, and this Sachiko Kamaike, as Iwahashi Shinichi said, is a beauty with outstanding appearance who does not lose to Haruko Akamatsu.

It's a male-oriented magazine, and in the inner page, she is also dressed coolly, posing, and is a typical photo girl. Such a photo model, full-time plus part-time, how much does it cost.

However, what makes Sachiko Kamaike special is that although she shoots a male-oriented magazine, there is no reverie between her eyebrows and eyes, but she has a kind of youthful heroism.

"To be honest," Iwahashi said at this point, "Kamaike-san is really not very attractive. ”

Hearing his relentless words, Watanabe Manyumi turned her attention to him.

"It's not that she's a person who lacks charm, on the contrary, she's a very charismatic person, and I can feel it the few times I've met her. Shinichi Iwahashi explained, "...... It's that she lacks that kind of charm that induces reverie. ”

Even if he looks so beautiful and has a good figure, taking such a cool photo has a little bit of "integrity". I don't know if this problem of not being able to get into the state can be improved after more shooting experience, but at least for now......

"I guess the sales of her photo cards are not very good, and she can't save any fame and popularity. Shinichi Iwahashi expressed his opinion.

"Well......" Watanabe Manyumi also agreed in her heart.

With a movement of her hand, she flipped another page. The model inside is not Sachiko Kamaike, and there is another one. On the top of the subtitle, the name of the model marked is "Natsuo Okamoto".

The contrast is even more pronounced. Although Okamoto Natsuo's appearance is not as good as that of Sachiko Kamaike, it is obvious that the photos she took have more of that "atmosphere".

Watanabe has not read a few male-oriented photo magazines, but I think that men who buy magazines should like Natsuo Okamoto more.

As for the basis for this opinion, it is probably because she prefers Sachiko Kamaike.

"Seriously, this charisma in the magazine is higher than Kamaike-san. Iwahashi Shinichi expressed such an opinion, which indirectly confirmed her thoughts.

Hearing him say this, Watanabe Manyumi looked at Natsuo Okamoto in the inner page, remained silent, and turned the magazine back to the page where Sachiko Kamaike was.

Iwahashi Shinichi saw her small movements, "However, Kamaike-san is the type that even women will like, or at least not hate. ”

"That's right. Watanabe Manyumi admitted.

Probably because of this, the sales of Sachiko Kamaike's photo card will not be very good. Often among the photo actresses, the ones with high sales are the goblins in the eyes of men and the vixens in the eyes of women.

Sachiko Kamaike, compared to taking photos with a righteous face as a photo model, may appear in a fashion magazine for OL, the response is better, and the road is smoother.

Of course, from the perspective of the office, when you become an inside page model for a fashion magazine, you can only get a car fee, at most tens of thousands of yen.

However, if you go to shoot this kind of magazine, even if you are an anonymous model, you can get about 200,000 yen for one issue, and there are even more popular models.

From this point, it can be seen that after Xingchen Office signed Sachiko Kamaike, it had no plan for her at all, nor did it make any targeted arrangements, and it was a fateful business to make quick money.

If there is any good opportunity halfway, say another one, otherwise, it will be the life of being swept away after the contract expires.

However, for Iwahashi Shinichi, the lack of planning of Sachiko Kamaike by the Star Office is an advantage for him to facilitate his operation.

In addition, even respecting the persistence shown by Sachiko Kamaike, Iwahashi believes that if everything goes smoothly, she will be accepted into the record company and continue to be a model, but it is not necessary to be such a model.

......

On the phone, Watanabe Manyumi said that she wanted to talk about the record label, but after talking about Sachiko Kamaike, she didn't change the topic, but asked Iwahashi Shinichi, "Tajima's band will perform at the Shikameikan next, do you want to go to see it?"

Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly heard this question and reacted. I didn't pay attention, and I was bypassed by Watanabe Manyumi.

Isn't it about the record label?
