"Do you want them to stay the status quo?"

"That's it, I'm not good at it anyway, since I can't do it well, just don't do it. Iwahashi said.

Kenichi Yamauchi couldn't help but laugh, "This sounds a little sloppy." ”

"On the contrary, it is very demanding to maintain the status quo of 'don't do' and make people feel that it is 'beautiful'. It is said that it is necessary to maintain the status quo because of laziness, but in fact, it makes it more difficult. ”

Shinchi Iwahashi almost hung Kenichi Yamauchi's appetite, and only then did he wind up the music box, so that the little girl who had no emotion continued to dance to the music.

First aroused his curiosity, and then under his guidance, he moved on to other topics, and after a big circle, and then back to the beginning, Kenichi Yamauchi suddenly realized that he was not being led by the nose by Iwahashi Shinichi?

This man must have done it on purpose......

However, after going around this circle, the attention has been attracted, the appetite has been satisfied, and now, since the opportunity to master the rhythm has been lost in the first place, now I have to continue to listen to what he has to say.

"If you look at the music box, the mirror is a stage. Iwahashi said.

Two big men are sitting in the café, staring at the music box in front of them, which is also quite interesting.

"The girls in the music box dance for everyone who sees the music box and buys it. But in reality, she didn't dance for whom, and she didn't care who she danced for. ”

In other words, it's a dance that doesn't work for anyone. Shinichi Iwahashi pointed to the point.

Kenichi Yamauchi smiled bitterly, "The girl in the music box has no feelings, and she won't dance for anyone." ”

"So, what about idols who don't dance for whom?" Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care about Kenichi Yamanuchi's reaction.

"Not for whom?"

"I don't dance for anyone, but I dance for everyone, and that's what I want to make. Shinichi Iwahashi guided Kenichi Yamauchi, "an unflattering, dreamlike combination that seems to have nothing to do with the real world." ”

The idea of "......" is also incredible.

In the era when celebrities fall from the clouds and celebrities become commoners, it becomes extremely difficult to create that feeling that has nothing to do with the real world.

It's like those weird settings can't be made up anymore, and now if you are like some idols, claiming that "your own fart is rose-colored", you can only laugh off the audience's big teeth, and be suspected of being paranoia from which madhouse it is.

Therefore, how to make the audience feel that "dreamlike", we need to use other methods.

Sometimes, you don't need to claim that you are a little public act from the south, and you don't need to talk about your rose-colored fart in an interview, you don't have to say anything, and you can make the audience feel that unreal.

Let them stand on the stage, dance like the girls in the music box, smile, wink, and don't do anything to serve the audience, and there is no need to self-advertise that we are girls who come out of the music box, as long as we dance on the stage, with the feeling that we are not for anyone, but for everyone, then that feeling will naturally appear.

"Suzuki-san and Aida-san, lacking some distinctive characteristics, are cute, but they don't have enough memory points, so it's not too much to describe them as 'ordinary'. It's also because of this ordinariness that they can't move as a single person. ”

However, such ordinariness, if you think about it the other way, can make the audience pay more attention to the effect of the clothes on the body than the models in the clothing catalog—in this case, they pay more attention to their performances. ”

Hayoko Suzuki and Shoko Aida, who have no color, are just the right time to paint them with such a dreamy color. If it's a girl with a strong personality, you can't dance in a music box.

Iwahashi Shinichi's words made Kenichi Yamauchi stunned when he heard it.

The lack of distinctiveness between Sachiko Suzuki and Shoko Aida is also recognized within the studio and the record company, so since they first formed a team before their debut, they have tried to discover their characteristics, including the interests and hobbies of the two girls, and even want to cultivate one or two of their specialties, hoping to find something special that is different.

The most terrible thing in the entertainment industry is not that there is no strength, but that there is no characteristic.

A star who is flawless in everything, unless it is so good that it is invincible, it is easy to be forgotten, not to mention these two girls who are decent in all aspects and balanced to the point that people have nothing to say.

As a result, when he came to Iwahashi Shinichi, the solution he came up with was not to discover their characteristics, but to directly erase the personalities of the two girls on the stage?

It's too unreasonable. However, it sounds absurd and unrealistic, but there is a subtle possibility that it can be tried.

Two girls without characteristics, so, if you think about it the other way around, isn't being featureless?

Expressionless, stiff dancing, these are the exact opposite of traditional idols, and if they do, wouldn't they be the only ones in the industry today?

Kenichi Yamauchi was considering the feasibility of this, and heard Shinichi Iwahashi speak again.

However, in this way, there is still an important link to complete this dream-like process. Iwahashi Shinichi said his thoughts without reservation, "It's the cooperation between your firm and the record company." ”

"Oh?"

"On the packaging, prepare gorgeous costumes for them, which should be extremely gorgeous, like girls dancing in palace-style dresses in European-style music boxes, so gorgeous that they have nothing to do with civilians, reality, and ordinary people. ”

From the stage style to the costumes, everything makes them look different from the traditional impression of idols, and there is no need to deliberately say "we are girls from the music box", so that the audience spontaneously has this impression.

"Hmm. Kenichi Yamauchi puffed out his mouth and didn't speak.

Originally, Wink was composed with a little bit of a desire to eat fast food, but if I had followed Iwahashi's suggestion, first of all, the production cost of Wink would have to be increased by a large amount, so that it would not be a casual decision.

Iwahashi Shinichi also knew that he didn't expect Kenichi Yamauchi to say anything to him immediately.

The formulation of the singer's route should refer to the office and the record company, and integrate the opinions of many parties, and it is not a responsible agent who can make a decision. Although he was privately commissioned, it was only at the stage of coming up with an idea.

As for whether to adopt or not, it will be discussed later by Kenichi Yamauchi. When he is accepted and officially invited to join the production lineup, this can be regarded as real participation.

If the office and the record company feel that it is unreasonable, the plan will not work, and it will end there.

Now he is like a young author who has just finished submitting his manuscript, waiting for the first and second review by the editorial department, and if the journey is smooth, he will be sent to the editor-in-chief for final review, and then he can determine whether the next issue of the magazine has his page and name on it.

Until then, all you have to do is wait.

The good thing is that the author who didn't finish writing a manuscript and sent it out, didn't do anything before he knew if he could publish it, and waited there for a month or two to wait for the result. Submitting a manuscript will not prevent him from preparing a new manuscript to submit to others, as long as he does not submit more than one manuscript.

Therefore, he fed back his ideas to Kenichi Yamauchi, and after the two broke up, how Kenichi Yamauchi digested and communicated these ideas to the studio and record company was a matter for him.

As for Iwahashi Shinichi himself, he went to his own business, not thinking about the draft that was submitted, and finally whether he could get the production fee just right.

On Wednesday, DREAMS COME TRUE's debut single "So Happy, So Happy, So Happy, So Like!", after a few days of distribution, the band's single appeared in record stores in Kanto, Kansai, and Tokai.

There is the fame bonus of the band's heavenly champion, which is already more eye-catching than the average newcomer, and CBS Sony's lavish promotion, and an agreement with a close-knit record store to hang the band's promotional poster in the store.

In addition, when the band Heavenly Kingdom is broadcast on Saturday, the host Yuji Miyake will also report to the audience on the progress of the band's debut on the TV show. A program with more than 20% of the ratings, such a sentence is a large exposure.

In addition, because the song has a joyful tone, it is especially suitable for broadcasting in shopping streets and other places, so the people at CBS Sony contacted the cable broadcasting association to promote their own tunes to the association.

Shops in shopping streets,To play songs in the store as BGM,The correct way to open it is to sign a contract with the cable broadcasting association.,Become their contract store.,The statistical range of the cable broadcast list,It's between these contract stores.,Otherwise,What songs will be put in a small store in the middle of nowhere that is not in the cable broadcasting association's cooperation list?,Who knows?

And to go to the cable broadcasting association to sell their own songs, and then through the cable broadcasting association, to sell their own songs to contract stores - although it is needless to say, this is a sales method that belongs to the current era.

This is not the kind of time when a singer can be known as soon as he gets into trouble, and he can only expand his influence and popularity through one way or another.

Considering the band's sales and sales trends, this is a matter for record companies and studios, and of course, Shinichi Iwahashi, who is one of the producers, must always keep an eye on it.

However, as far as the band itself is concerned, the main thing to do at the moment is to rehearse for the next tour, and at the same time as the release of the debut album, start the road of publicity that runs around the country.

Even if it is performed in a school auditorium-scale place, since it has officially debuted, it is not the same as in the underground period, and even their newly debuted band, CBS Sony has equipped the supporting musicians to perform, and in the rehearsal stage, it is also the stage of running-in with the supporting musicians.

......

Akina Nakamori participated in the recording of the program at the TV station in Osaka the day before yesterday, and spent two days in Osaka on location until 2:40 p.m. before taking the return Shinkansen.

When I arrived at Tokyo Station and got into the car of the office waiting there, the daylight was getting longer in June, and it was sunset.

"That's the end of this time. Big Ben confirmed the itinerary in his hand, "However, I have to go out tomorrow, and I will pick you up at four o'clock in the morning, in short, please have a good rest." ”

Akina Nakamori let out a "hmm", absent-mindedly. Kick off your shoes, clasp your hands on your knees, and put your feet on the edge of the seat like a kitten curled up in a ball.

After two days of exterior location, the workload is not small, and this appearance is not strange in the eyes of Big Ben.

"Do you want to take you home next, or do you want to get something to eat first?" asked Big Ben.

As a result, Akina Nakamori said, "Let's go back to the office first, okay?"

"Back to the office?" Big Ben was stunned when he received this answer, and then returned to normal, with an expression of guessing what she was going to do. Still, nothing was said.

The car started and drove towards the head office of the Ken Yin Office.

In May, after sending a letter to Shinichi Iwahashi, Akina Nakamori did not receive a reply.

Not long ago, she co-starred with Chisato Moritaka in "THE BEST TEN", AND PERFORMED ON THE SAME STAGE WITH A NEWCOMER PRODUCED BY SHINICHI IWAHASHI, AND Akina Nakamori couldn't help but think about Shinto, imagining that Shinichi Iwahashi, as a producer, would watch the performance of the singer she produced.

This association made her suddenly have a wonderful illusion when she was performing, as if she was performing for the public in front of the camera and for Shinichi Iwahashi.

What do you think? She unconsciously injected this kind of question into the performance.

When I returned to the office, the staff in charge of receiving the letters put the fan letters in a cardboard box, and in addition to delivering the letters, they also delivered the letters to the address used by the other industry insiders and related parties.

In fact, the letters marked with work letters have to go through the hands of the firm, so most of the letters that are actually delivered to her are so-called personal letters.

However, Akina Nakamori is not the kind of person who travels widely, has frequent contacts, and does not send letters to the office, so in the end, she will be asked to think about the letters that may be sent before receiving them, and it is only Iwahashi Shinichi.

"It's hard work~"

Akina Nakamori thanked the staff. I took those few personal letters, and at a glance I saw that Iwahashi Shinichi had sent them. When I saw the words on the envelope, I felt a faint cordiality in my heart, and I felt comfortable that I had been answered.

Big Ben's agent sent the box of fan letters to the car for her.

"Why don't you go get something to eat?" asked Big Ben.

Akina Nakamori shook her head, "I want to go back and make some of it myself." If you don't use the kitchen at home anymore, you're going to have hair. ”

"It's horrible. Big Ben complained and didn't say anything more.

But it's also true, and in the wet season, even mushrooms can grow under the tatami mats in the tatami family.

Big Ben carried the fan's letter upstairs for her and placed it in the hallway, "Then, please take a good rest." ”
