425. Grab a piece of the pie

On this day, Minejima paged Shinichi Iwahashi, saying that he wanted to meet him for something.

Since Shinichi Iwahashi joined Watanabe Productions and "came ashore" from the underground music industry, he has had a lot less opportunities to meet Minejima.

That said, whether it was producing a women's rock festival or a band Heaven, Shinichi Iwahashi received assistance from Mineshima to help promote the underground music scene.

Between the two, although they are not close friends, they also appreciate each other and help each other if they are helpful.

In the evening, Iwahashi Shinichi went to the appointment on time to listen to what Minejima had to say.

After meeting, having a drink, and exchanging a few words, Mineshima opened his mouth, but it was Tomohisa Kawazoe who approached him for help and asked him to introduce another band that needed musicians.

Minejima's words were a little ambiguous, "He wanted me to help introduce him to some other band." ”

In this way, it is impossible to guess whether Tomohisa Kawazoe plans to quit ABNORMAL and find another way, or if he plans to go to another band to work part-time.

It's not that Mineshima deliberately doesn't make it clear, but Tomohisa Kawazoe's intentions are not obvious enough.

He didn't know the situation inside GENZO, and he didn't know how Iwahashi Shinichi planned to arrange ABNORMAL, so he would say it to Iwahashi Shinichi, also out of a mentality of making it clear in advance.

Iwahashi Shin sees Minejima as the leader of his own path, and for Mineshima, such a nightclub waiter who was accidentally asked by Mimi Club to help with the dance, suddenly made up his mind to enter this industry without any experience, not only was he not beaten by reality, but he also did a good job, which is really remarkable.

It was precisely because he was optimistic about him and believed in his talent that Mineshima felt that he should at least let Iwahashi Shinichi know that there was such a thing. It is not only to make it difficult to be a person in the middle after he is not there, but also to make it difficult for Tomohisa Kawazoe.

After saying this, Mineshima observed Iwahashi Shinichi's reaction, and saw that he was acting very calm, and his heart was half relieved. Looking at it like this, Iwahashi Shinichi either knows about it or has a countermeasure.

......

For Iwahashi Shinichi, this was not so much to be expected.

After Haruko Akamatsu decided to quit the band, ABNORMAL fell into a virtual hiatus. The three members of the team did their own things, and they used to be on stage together, but now it is rare to get together.

This state of affairs has been going on for a year now, and it is normal for people's hearts to fluctuate. It's like a firecracker with a long letter, although I don't know when it will explode, but one day it will be blown up, unless a little Belgian hero comes to extinguish it.

Among ABNORMAL's team, the captain Tatsuya Hirakawa is also a steady person and has his own set of ideas about the general direction of the band, while Tomohisa Kawazoe is full of talent, and in Iwahashi Shinichi's opinion, he shows a better talent in music than Tatsuya Hirakawa.

However, Tomohisa Kawazoe is not the kind of musician who is content to stay behind the scenes and provide music and serve as a producer, and has always longed to be in front of the stage. After the band activity stopped, he was the most active person to support the musicians.

Now, hearing about this from Mine Island is more likely to be sooner or later than sudden.

In addition to lamenting "it finally happened", another thought in Iwahashi Shinichi's heart was that Kawazoe Tomohisa had endured it for so long, why did he think about it now?

Iwahashi Shinchi remained silent, and instead of going into the topic, he said: "Mineshima-san, it seems that your vision is very accurate. ”

At the beginning, it was because Haruko Akamatsu wanted to join the band that Minejima gave up ABNORMAL, and the band came into the hands of Shinichi Iwahashi. Looking at the later development of the band, as Mineshima said, Haruko Akamatsu almost ruined the band.

Now, Tomohisa Kawazoe went back to find Minejima, probably because he remembered Mineshima's opposition at the beginning.

Minejima knew what he was talking about, and smiled, "To be honest, I'm looking forward to how you're going to bring ABNORMAL back to life." ”

If someone else said this, or if it was told to others, it might be suspected of schadenfreude, but when Mineshima said this to Iwahashi Shinichi, he sincerely believed that Iwahashi Shinichi had such ability.

In the underground music circle, Minejima relies on discovering suitable bands and then selling them to record companies to earn commissions. However, Shinichi Iwahashi has something that he doesn't have.

That is the ability to solve problems and make the impossible possible.

"Bring the dead back to life. Iwahashi Shinichi made Mineshima's description amused.

After thinking about it, I decided to tell him, "I'm planning a record company here." ”

"Record company?" Mineshima was really shocked this time.

From the production company to the record company, I know that he has talent, but this is too incredible, right? However, in addition to being surprised, I also feel that with all the piles and pieces since he entered the industry, it is not surprising that he has come to this point.

"When the time comes, I'm going to reorganize ABNORMAL and let the band debut from here. ”

As soon as Iwahashi Shinichi said this, Mineshima understood why he didn't react when he heard about Tomohisa Kawazoe, which had already been planned.

However, Mineshima thought of one thing, "You're not going to let ABNORMAL join the band Heaven?"

"If I were to join the band Heaven Kingdom, I wouldn't get anything. Shin Iwahashi said it bluntly.

Even if there is no contract problem with Sachiko Kamaike, for him, letting ABNORMAL participate in the band Heaven is equivalent to handing over his hole card.

If you want to gain a foothold in the industry, you need to have a work that is completely marked with his mark, and ABNORMAL is this work. The formation of a record company also means that he wants to grab a piece of the band trend that he ignited himself.

"I see. ”

Mineshima smiled and said, "I really want Kawa Tian to hear what he just said." ”

"There is always a time to tell him. Iwahashi Shinichi was unimpressed.

Now that he had said it, Shinichi Iwahashi took advantage of the situation to invite Minejima, "The record company is newly established, and it needs a lot of manpower. Would you like to come along?"

"Come along?"

Iwahashi nodded cautiously, "Yes, the production is excellent, and the sales are excellent." ”

In the face of Iwahashi Shinichi's invitation, Mineshima was not immediately incited, but hesitated. Now he works with all the record companies in the industry, and if he accepts the invitation, he will only focus on this one in the future.

At that time, the form and content of work will change, and it can even be said that the future will be pressed.

Mineshima promised that Iwahashi Shinichi would not be surprised, and his hesitation was expected. However, the words are spoken, the mind is conveyed, and as for the answer, there is no hurry at this time.

Iwahashi Shinichi casually raised his glass.

It's rare to meet, and the two of them put this matter aside first, and they chatted about it without a match. Mineshima tells Shinichi Iwahashi about the underground music scene, some of which he wants to know, and some of which are purely jokes about being used as a drink.

"Lately, a lot of underground musicians have been sucked away by the games and animation industries. Mineshima said.
