Shinichi Iwahashi and Masaori Sakai greeted each other, followed Iijima Sanchi who came up together, and said hello to his former boss.

After greeting him around, Sakai Masatoshi introduced him to the other two or three staff members present. When he heard that one of them was BURNING's agent, Shinichi Iwahashi was moved.

An agent, but not a big name worth paying attention to.

It's just that there was a little friction with BURUNING secretly before, and although it was reconciled smoothly, the whole process was handled by Watanabe Manyumi, and Shinichi Iwahashi was not allowed to come to the table. However, for this well-known firm in the industry, Shinichi Iwahashi inevitably pays more attention than before.

BURNING'S AGENT WAS PRESENT, SO TO SPEAK......

SHINICHI IWAHASHI'S GAZE FELL ON THE YOUNG WOMAN WHO DIDN'T LOOK LIKE A STAFF MEMBER, GUESSING THAT SHE WAS THE ONE WHO BURNED.

The etiquette between the people in black came to an end, and Sakai Masatoshi thought about it and introduced Shinichi Iwahashi, "This is singer Manami Murase. ”

Manami Murase, who was introduced, bowed to Shinichi Iwahashi.

Shinichi Iwahashi also greeted her, his gaze politely sweeping over her face.

She's beautiful.

Manami Murasei is dressed in a dress, and her style of dressing is a bit like a pink-collar family in the office. The shoulders are thin, and the suit is worn on the body, which is actually not very suitable.

However, although she is dressed as an ordinary office worker, when she salutes, she can still see the appearance of a jerky kimono woman.

This is probably because Shinichi Iwahashi just came in, and the first time I saw her, I didn't think she was like a staff member.

Before the debut of a singer, a very comprehensive training is required, in addition to singing, an important part is posture training, especially for female singers, which must be particularly strict in this regard.

Fujimura ...... I'm sorry," Masatoshi Sakai said of this, casually explaining, "Fujimura is her real name. ”

Iwahashi nodded in understanding. For him, who has been a singer and has actively and passively understood singing, these things in the singing industry are very clear.

Among the singers, there are not many people who debut under their real names, or it should be said that in the entire entertainment industry, stage names have been mainstream for a long time, and it has not changed until recent years.

As for the reason, there are many things to say, such as from ancient times to modern times, the status of practitioners of popular arts is very low, so it needs to be named.

Or if you need to learn from a teacher, after getting started, the master will give you a stage name, which is actually a ritual to establish a father-son relationship between master and apprentice.

For modern ordinary singers and actors, it may be that their real names are not loud enough, or that their stage names will not disturb their daily lives......

Even in the book of books, which are also keen on feng shui, there are still big guys in the entertainment industry who think that a good name is easier to become popular.

Iwahashi Shinichi's former rice bowl Mori Shinichi, his real name is Moriuchi Kazukuan. On the contrary, it is the little girl Sakamoto Fuyumi who used to be a driver with him, which sounds like a stage name, but it is actually her real name.

"Fujimura is a disciple of Mr. Inomata Kosho. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi was thinking about Fuyumi Sakamoto, and Masatoshi Sakai talked to him about it.

"Ahh ”

He nodded, "I see. ”

Manami Murasei and Fuyumi Sakamoto are both disciples of the official seal of Inomata, and both of them stood out in the same singer talent contest hosted by NHK.

However, the little sister Sakamoto Fuyumi is the inner disciple of the lineage, and now the village Shinami in front of her is a registered outer disciple.

And Manami Murasei met unexpectedly. After the pleasantries, Sakai Masatoshi said a few more words to her firm's agent, and then the team got up to say goodbye.

In the rehearsal room, only Shinichi Iwahashi and Michimo Iijima were left, and Masaori Sakai and Manami Murasei were the agents of the record company.

"I just took over the production rights of this Fujimura-san this year. ”

The four of them sat down on the couch in the rehearsal room. Sakai Masatoshi chatted casually and brought up this matter. He was quite relaxed about Shinichi Iwahashi, so it was natural for him to talk to him about music production.

In fact, he was treated like this because Sakai Masatoshi valued him more as a music producer than as the head of a record company.

"A disciple of Inomata Gongsho-san. Iwahashi Shinichi replied casually, "Even if it's an outer disciple, it's not ordinary." ”

Sakai Masatoshi smiled and didn't say directly, "Fujimura's debut single invited Tetsu-san Funamura to compose the music, and Miyuki Ishimoto wrote the lyrics. However, Fujimura's office is indispensable for such resources. ”

Before Zhou Fang Yuxiong made his fortune, he worked as a driver for the leader of the North Island group, Kitajima Saburo, and he was also a person who had been in contact with many people in the singing industry and had a deep relationship with them.

Toru Funamura is Saburo Kitajima's teacher and has a transcendent position in the industry.

Miyuki Iwahashi Shinichi met him a few times when he was an agent, and as a lyricist, he was also a person in the singing world.

The debut single can be produced by these two people, and this lineup is very good.

However, Sakai Masatoshi specifically mentioned Murasei Manami's office, which meant to tell him that the official seal of Inomata had not given much effort to this foreign disciple, and he did not plan to make much effort.

"Mr. Inomata Gongzhang's favorite disciple now is still Sakamoto Fumi-san. Sakai Masatoshi mentioned it and smiled, "However, his vision is also really accurate, and Sakamoto-san is the strongest newcomer in the limelight at the moment." ”

Of course, the daughter and the girl can't be generalized.

Iwahashi listened and didn't mention his acquaintance with Fuyumi Sakamoto.

"Fujimura and Sakamoto-san participated in the same show, and they were hit by the same teacher. The time of her debut, Sakamoto San was two months earlier than her. Sakai Masatoshi said, "However, Sakamoto-san is now a rookie singer, but Fujimura has had no response in the past two years." ”

asked Toru Funamura and Miyuki Ishimoto to escort him, and he didn't make a splash.

"I can't see hope for a year or two, so I have to find another way. Sakai Masatoshi was blunt.

Iwahashi smiled and responded to his straightforwardness, "So, even the production rights have been handed over to you." ”

"I was taken aback. Sakai Masatoshi's words sounded like a joke, but his expression was serious, "I've never handled a singer like this." ”

So far, Shinichi Iwahashi can't know how Manami Murasei is "different".

The two of them chatted about Manami Murasei, and Manami Murasaki's agent at the record company sat on the side. It was a man of medium stature and thin physique, about thirty years of age, and had remained silent all this time.

"At the end of the day, what's on the table is pretty clear. "Sakai Masatoshi only said half of what he said.

Iwahashi took a moment and took it, "You have to think about the route." ”

"That's right. Sakai Masatoshi smiled.

Top songwriters, first-class studios and record companies, if they can't become popular, then they can only consider whether the route is wrong and whether they want to transform.

When I came over, I didn't mention anything serious, and I first chatted with Sakai Masatoshi about this street singer.

Shinichi Iwahashi has never heard of who Manami Murasei is, and I don't know what works she has worked in the past two years as a singer. If you really want to talk about it, he looks at the career of this singer like he looks at Akiko Matsumoto.

It's just that singers who sing and act, even if they transform, can't make people become funny artists......

What's more, this village is Manami, and it doesn't look like funny.

Although it was only a chance encounter, Shinichi Iwahashi had a deep impression of her. There is no shortage of beauties in the entertainment industry, but a beauty like her, who is a little pyrotechnic, thin, but subtle with a hint of flesh, is really rare in the entertainment world.

After Manami Murase's agent got up to say goodbye, Shinichi Iwahashi got to the point with Masato Sakai.

When I made an appointment to meet before, I talked about the purpose of this trip on the phone in advance. Now, without waiting for Shinichi Iwahashi to stretch out his hand, Iijima Sanchi handed over the brown paper bag he brought with the song sample at the right time.

"Anyway, please listen here. Iwahashi Shinichi handed it over.

Janis's method of arranging the debut of idols is the same as that of singers trying to find ways to fire the first shot when they debut. It's all about finding ways to work with big names and find first-class songwriters.

The creators of these samples brought by Shinichi Iwahashi have nothing to do with words like "big names", and they know that there is no chance to be a debut single, so they are songs selected for inclusion in the album.

Choosing an album song is not the same thing as choosing a title single, and a really title-level good song can't get here.

Although he is not very interested in male idols, and not only has he not had a friendship with Janis, but he has also secretly clashed with him, it does not prevent him from seizing this opportunity to make money and take the opportunity to make a name for himself among his songwriters.

That's what happens in the plastics industry.

Sakai Masatoshi accepted these samples, but he didn't listen to them on the spot.

The rehearsal room has a special projector and record playback equipment – all produced by Sony. Although Sony's entertainment department and music department go their own way, in this kind of place, it is subtle to see the "family".

Just as when Warner was still a "Warner Pioneer", "Pioneer" can be seen everywhere, and Toshiba EMI singers often have the opportunity to cooperate with "Toshiba" products.

Sakai Masatoshi finds the video materials of the Heike faction sent by Genesys.

"I want to show it to Iwahashi-kun, you can take a look at it too. Sakai Masatoshi said to him.

In the picture, four teenagers dressed in fancy costumes that look like Genesys are singing, dancing and dancing as if they were performing a stage play.

“......”

No matter how many times Iwahashi Shinichi looks at Janis idol, he will think of words like "honey aesthetics".

THE FOUR TEENAGERS SANG THE HIT SONG "剣の DANCE" (SWORD DANCE) BY THEIR DANCING PARTNER LIGHT GENJI. This video is to let the producers know about them.

Although it is a group sent to Sony with a debt nature, however, according to convention, only the music production and distribution rights belong to Sony, and what the group wants to do on the stage depends on Genesys's magical aesthetic arrangement.

Demonic nature is demonic nature, but it is in the same vein from top to bottom, Kitagawa Kokuto can be said to have cultivated this "honey aesthetic" of the people in the past ten or twenty years, so that they can unconsciously accept this style of painting, and can only accept the style of male idols.

In this way, just like leeks, after cutting one stubble and another stubble, it grows endlessly.

Cultivating idols is nothing, but cultivating fans is terrible.

"How do you feel?" asked Masatoshi Sakai.

Shinichi Iwahashi shook his head, "I have no clue at all about male idol production. After a pause, "However, since it is Janis's idol, it is safer to sing idol songs." ”

Anyway, this combination comes with a basic disk, and when it first debuted, the fans were enthusiastic, and the sales were not much worse.

"It's not song making. ”

Masatoshi Sakai shook his head, "It's about seeing this group, what is their first impression of them." ”

In the picture, the four teenagers finished singing and dancing, and finally made a similar appearance after completing the fighting action.

Next, the scene shifts from a stage to a dance studio, with four teenagers standing in a row, all dressed in modest sportswear embroidered with "Johnnys," introducing themselves in front of the camera.

"I'm Jiro Matsubara, the captain of the Heike faction......"

The boy looks at the camera and talks about his hobbies, favorite music, and so on.

Sakai Masatoshi brought it up, and Iwahashi Shinichi was also a little more serious.

It's not that he didn't see something, but because this is an artist from another company, he doesn't praise it. Now, one must listen, he thought for a moment, and said implicitly: "There is a sense of urgency." ”

"A sense of urgency. ”

Sakai Masatoshi repeated, his expression much more solemn.

Iwahashi Shin's words hit the nail on the head.

When Masatoshi Sakai received the group, met with the four teenagers, watched the video of the performance, and listened to their audition harmony, his first reaction was to feel the urgency of Kitagawa Koku's eagerness to let them form a group.

This sense of urgency from top to bottom, not only is Kitagawa in a hurry to launch a new group, but the four teenagers also don't seem to be so compatible, and there is no sense of relaxation that should be between groups.

Of course, the reason for such an "urgency" is also clear to Sakai Masatoshi, so he naturally does not mention it.

Shinichi Iwahashi contacted him a few days ago and wanted his songwriter to give music to the Heike faction. Masatoshi Sakai is quite happy to meet new songwriters, and with the face of Masaki Yoshida and his appreciation and curiosity for this young producer, he doesn't mind providing an opportunity.

However, giving a chance to give a chance, Sakai Masatoshi is still curious about how this young producer views the Heike faction.

And now, Iwahashi Shinichi's words coincide with Sakai Masatoshi's thoughts. In his heart, he couldn't help but admire Shinichi Iwahashi's precise vision.

A combination that does not have a sense of relaxation is a combination that is inherently shrouded in an aura of misfortune.

Sakai Masatoshi thinks so in his heart, but he doesn't care about the future of the Heike faction, and only intends to focus on the present. - To be precise, the future of this group is never in the hands of the record company, but in the hands of Genesys and Keiko Fujishima.

And he didn't ask Iwahashi Shinichi for his impressions, but he didn't want to get any inspiration from him about the Heike school.

It's better to get to know this young producer a little more through the Heike faction, and by the way, evaluate his ability in planning and production.

"That's right. ”

After Sakai Masatoshi finished chatting with the Heike faction, he went to get a piece of paper as if nothing happened.
