In order not to let Nagato Daiyuki's efforts go to waste, Sakura introduces the tunes he provided to Shinichi Iwahashi.
In order to help Daiyuki Nagato fulfill his wish to make BEING's song the theme song after the manga was animated, Shinichi Iwahashi decided to let go of the gate and seek cooperation with Daiyuki Nagato's BEING.
They are all good people......
So who is the wicked?
When Nagato Daiyuki received a call from Sakurako, and heard her tell herself, "That Iwahashi-san is very talkative, and after knowing Nagato-san's wishes, he would like to meet with Nagato-san to talk about cooperation", he couldn't help but ask in his heart.
first took the lead in signing Seiichiro Kuribayashi, and then obtained the production rights of the theme song with the advantages of the brother company.
Nagato Daiyuki thought that this was the end of the matter, and he was thinking about how to patch it and remake the planned plan.
As a result, now, that Iwahashi is a good person at Cherry, and what do you say that you are willing to cooperate with BEING?
Such a favor ......!!
When he first learned that it was Shinichi Iwahashi who won the production rights of the anime theme song of "Cherry Maruko", although Nagato Daiyuki was helpless, he also understood that it was not a boiled duck that flew, but a calculation that fell through.
If it was someone else who took the production rights, he wouldn't even feel unnecessary. It's because the other party is the young producer surnamed Iwahashi, so he feels unhappy.
It's as if whenever he's going to do something, the guy named Iwahashi is going to mess with him.
And now, the producer who made Nagato Daiyuki want to stay away and no longer want to be associated with this name, offers to help him realize his wish and work with BEING.
When Nagato Daiyuki heard such an offer, he couldn't laugh and had no reason to be angry. I just feel that my heart is not smooth, as if something is stuck in my chest, I can't go up and down, I can't spit it out and I can't swallow it.
"What do you think? β
On the other end of the phone, Cherry, who didn't know anything about Nagato Daiyuki's thoughts, was still seriously persuading, "To be honest, I like the music brought by Nagato-san, and it's my first time trying to compose...... Iwahashi Sancoln thought so, and I was actually very happy in my heart. β
During his contact with Sakurako, Daiyuki Nagado made a good impression on the young manga artist. Therefore, Cherry is becoming more and more sincere, and if she wants to help Nagato-san, she must make his efforts rewarded.
β......β
Nagato Daiyuki faced the eagerness of the cherry seeds, and he couldn't say what he was suffering about.
You can't tell her that you don't want to have anything to do with that guy named Iwahashi, right?
In that way, the previous image in front of the cherry seed will completely collapse, leaving only a hypocritical face. He put a lot of effort into being able to recommend himself, but this effort in turn pushed him to such a dilemma.
Is this a shot in the foot?
"Well, let's meet that Iwahashi-san and hear what he thinks. "Nagato Daiyuki pinched his nose and did a good person to the end-
You can't be a good person, only he is a wicked person, right?
"I didn't expect Iwahashi-san to be so polite and easy to talk to, amazing. He tried to swallow the surging discomfort, and praised Iwahashi Shinichi with a clear conscience.
Be able to bend and stretch.
The two then agreed on the phone, and then Cherry went to contact Shinichi Iwahashi. Putting down the phone, Nagato Daiyuki sat down at his desk and lit a cigarette with a calm face.
......
Iwahashi Shinichi intends to get in touch with BEING's Nagato Daiyuki to discuss the "crackling crackle" thing.
Putting aside whether Nagato Daiyuki will refuse for the time being, for now, if you cooperate with BEING, it will be nothing more than two models.
The first is that BEING sells the song to GENZO, and Shinichi Iwahashi is solely responsible for it.
As for the second, when GENZO gets the production rights, the production rights of the theme song will be subcontracted by Shinichi Iwahashi and transferred to BEING of Daiyuki Nagado to produce it, and he will be responsible for the distribution.
Daiyuki Nagato's BEING is a production company that has production capabilities, but it doesn't have the ability to distribute them. In other words, even if he wins the production rights of the theme song, he must be supported by the record company. At that time, they will either be affiliated with a record company that they have a relationship with, or the animation production committee will introduce the record company that will help with the release.
As far as these two cooperation models are concerned, Nagato Daiyuki sells the songs, and everything is fine after that, just waiting for the song to be released and the animation broadcast, and his production company collects the copyright royalties of the songs, which is obviously the most trouble-free.
If the production rights are subcontracted, Shinichi Iwahashi will provide the singer and distribution, and BEING will be responsible for the music and production, and in addition to the copyright royalties, there will also be a production share, which will make more efforts and make greater profits-
The premise is that the song can sell well. Otherwise, after the release of a single song, the first print of a family's daily animation theme song will not exceed 50,000 copies, and no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to make a fortune with a song.
Just like Daiyuki Nagato, who prepared the song and sent it to Cherry when he was not sure that he would be able to get the production rights, Iwahashi Shinichi is now assuming that he can get the right to use the song before he has decided to cooperate with BEING, and then think about the corresponding countermeasures.
In Iwahashi Shin's hands, among the singers who are currently debuting and those who are about to debut, there is no one who is suitable to sing this song. After taking over the production, a singer in charge of singing will be selected.
The selection of this singer seems to be easy to choose, but it is also a little tricky.
It's easy to say because you don't have to worry about it at all, and there is even the easiest option - let the voice actor who voices the protagonist "Cherry Seed" sing it.
It's tricky because Iwahashi Shinichi felt that he shouldn't have done it so hastily as a task.
After meeting Sakuko that day, Shinichi Iwahashi went to the recording studio and wrote down the "crackling, crackling, crackling".
In all fairness, although it was written as the theme song of the family's daily anime, and the cherry was filled with the same lyrics as a children's song, this song is undoubtedly not ordinary.
Catchy and easy to remember, this song is absolutely appropriate to sing at karaoke parties.
Some songs, as long as you listen to them with one ear, you will know whether they are likable or not.
If you really want to do it casually, you can make it like handing in your homework, and it's a waste of all kinds of work that he asked Sato to help introduce and asked Cherry to be the middleman.
Next, before meeting with Nagato Daiyuki, Shinichi Iwahashi was thinking about these things. It is necessary to find a way to win this song at the minimum cost - without the guarantee that it will be a big hit, no one dares to invest too much in children's songs.
Although the animation production committee or Fuji TV did not expect a family to sell the theme song of the anime on a daily basis, as long as it did not let the audience play and behave, Shinichi Iwahashi still had to think about where to find what kind of singer, how to produce and release the song, and how to maximize its benefits.
Even if it's a children's rhyme...... But the power of the "Cherry Maruko" animation is beyond imagination after all.
Or think about it the other way, although it is a song prepared for cartoons, and the lyrics written by Cherry Zi herself are very simple, it does not mean that this is a children's rhyme.
Thinking about it further, "Cherry Maruko" has a wide audience, and the reason why it can have such popularity is not because it has been widely supported by children. It's because adults can smile when they see this comic.
Adults grow up from children, and songs for children are songs for adults.
Just like the manga drawn by Cherry Seed, although it is the daily life of elementary school students, it is actually drawn for adults who have grown up from elementary school students.
So, when I got this song, I wanted to make it as a pop song, not a children's rhyme.
While it is played on TV as an anime theme song, it does not necessarily mean that it cannot be promoted as a regular pop song using other promotional methods.
The animation has just started, and the TV station will not refuse the topic. At that time, I will be able to use the light that the song is the theme song of the anime to find a way to discuss the cooperation with Fuji TV and the editorial department of "RIBON".
The more Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it, the more he felt that he could play a role in the resource of the theme song of "Cherry Maruko", regardless of whether the final release was "crackling and crackling".
Even if he can't agree with Nagato Daiyuki on the right to use the tunes, he can only take the tunes from his own music library, and he has to prepare songs that are "suitable for all ages" instead of "children's songs", and then use the popularity of manga and animation to promote it with great fanfare.
I haven't seen Nagato Taiyuki yet, and I'm not sure if Iwahashi will be able to get the song, but Iwahashi Shinichi already has a little direction in mind for the production.
......
BEING only has the production rights but not the distribution rights, which is the biggest reason why Nagato Daiyuki is reluctant to cooperate with GENZO.
Nagato Daiyuki hates Shinichi Iwahashi, who has made him deflated three times and twice, and doesn't want to have anything to do with him, but if he wants to cooperate with his record company, either BEING will sell the rights to use that song to GENZO, just like completing an ordinary song for other singers.
But in that case, except for a royalty at the time of the song, plus a royalty share after that, everything else has nothing to do with BEING.
A mere royalty, and that pitiful royalty shareβ
Daiyuki Nagato conceived a singing pattern for this piece and was ambitious. He decided in his heart that if he left his idea, this great opportunity would definitely be wasted by the guy named Iwahashi.
If Iwahashi Shinichi was made into a theme song as an ordinary children's song, and finally sold tens of thousands of copies at most, that little bit of sharing would not only be shabby, but also a waste of the opportunity that Nagato Daiyuki had carefully considered.
However, if you have to take over the production rights from that Iwahashi, and take full responsibility for yourself, and then GENZO will be in charge of the distribution, it means that Iwahashi will do nothing, just wait for the final profit.
Such a cheap thing!
The most important thing is that GENZO is a small company, although Shinichi Iwahashi is somewhat famous in the industry, but he is not a big man with a deep background, and if he sells favors to him, BEING will not get any benefits other than money.
However, he is such a nasty and useless guy for the company...... But what Nagato Daiyuki wanted the most was in his hands.
I obviously hated that guy, but I was pushed into a dilemma.
If you refuse to cooperate with him, the image you built up in Cherry will all collapse, and you will lose the opportunity to use the anime "Cherry Maruko" to carry out your plan forever.
However, if you want to cooperate with him and hand over the production rights, you can only watch Iwahashi Shinichi mess around. If you don't hand over the production rights, you have to let that Iwahashi sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Kansai merchant Nagato, who can't afford to make a profit, is lucky, and at this moment, there is a subtle feeling of being sold and helping to count the money.
How could such a thing be?
Maybe it's an idea to deliberately open harsh conditions, talk to Iwahashi Shin, and turn the page on this matter.
However, although Nagato Daiyuki likes to hold grudges and hates that Iwahashi Shinichi hates, he is still a businessman in his bones, and he hates it, but he will not get along with interests.
The current situation makes it clear that if the talk with Shinichi Iwahashi collapses, the previous statement that he wants the animation to use the theme song he made himself will become a joke, and Nagato Daiyuki will have to find another way to implement his plan.
Sending the song out casually Iwahashi Shinichi tossed, in Nagato Daiyuki's opinion, ruined the tune.
In the end, the only way to maximize the benefits of this song is to seize the opportunity that Iwahashi Shinichi delivers, work with him, and make that plan.
Previously, Nagato Daiyuki thought that the theme song had ended here, so he hoped that he would no longer have anything to do with Iwahashi Shinichi. But now, since Shinichi Iwahashi took the initiative to come over, instead of refusing, he should think about how to use this young producer to gain more benefits in this matter.
It's the first head-to-head confrontation with that annoying guy.
Nagato Daiyuki made up his mind, waiting to meet the "Iwahashi" who had made trouble for himself three times and twice, and see what kind of character he was.
......
He was a young man who stood there like a brand-new fountain pen.
Nagato Daiyuki looked at Shinichi Iwahashi and had such a thought in his heart. I knew he was a young producer, and I looked into his production history, but I never saw him in real person. I didn't expect him to be like this.
"First meeting, Nagato-san. β
Iwahashi Shinichi is a junior, and as soon as they met, he took the initiative to hand over his business card, "My surname is Iwahashi." β
Nagato Daiyuki is short and has a mild-looking face that seems to be easily trusted by people.
Shinichi Iwahashi had previously investigated BEING for that song, and he also knew the resume of Daiyuki Nagato, so he had a general understanding of the producer's career in front of him, the singers he had handled, and so on.
"Hello. β
Nagato Daiyuki took the business card and handed it his own. He smiled like a senior, "Iwahashi-san is young and promising. β
In praise of him, Iwahashi Shinichi politely modestly took a moment.
They are all in the industry, as long as they have the heart, they can find out the relevant information. Although the two of them are meeting for the first time, they already have some understanding of each other in advance, and they just know each other.
It's just that Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't have any personal emotions for Nagato Daiyuki.
But when Nagato Daiyuki faced this young producer, his feelings were even more delicate.
