539. flesh and blood

The plan is approved, and then it's time to brainstorm.

It is necessary to bring together ideas from all sides, and then select the ones that are available and put them to good use. For this reason, it is essential not only for the staff to use their brains, but also to listen to the opinions of Miwa-chan and Brother Nakamura.

Ask the two of them to join us at the meeting, not to let them choose yes or no as the mascot next to them, but to have the two of them join in and discuss the theme of "outdoor touring".

The most important purpose of this tour is to make the band's signature and make it a representative work of the band's live performance.

Just like "the best character is yourself", the best way to make this tour completely brand DREAMS COME TRUE is to have the members participate in the production and work together to create the circus in the minds of the three people.

When making NAONのYON, Shinichi Iwahashi made a pact with Miwa-chan that in the future, the band would also be able to hold their own outdoor tours - and fireworks displays.

Now, as he promised, there really is such an opportunity.

Summoned to the meeting party on tour, Miwa-chan was in high spirits and full of energy.

The idea of moving the stage won her heart, and after sitting down, she enthusiastically came up with various ideas, including but not limited to hanging Weiya, inviting a dance company to be a backup dancer, having the circus animals perform, and having her own stage costume design, etc.

Whether it's practical or not, it's a head-scratching sound.

Looking at her posture of coming as soon as she opened her mouth, it is estimated that she had already practiced it in her heart on the way to this side after receiving a call from Iwahashi Shinichi.

Just waiting for this moment to show off her talents, contribute her strange ideas and touching aesthetics, and add a few funny bricks to this outdoor tour.

The meeting will be hosted by Watanabe Manyumi, Miwa-chan's whimsy, she was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't help but look at Iwahashi Shinichi with her eyes, and saw that his face did not change, and she couldn't help but secretly admire it in her heart.

Miwa-chan is responsible for unrealistic and imaginative, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura are responsible for thinking about more realistic things.

Regarding the details on stage, Iwahashi Shinichi decided to let Miwa-chan play freely, and then weed out the overly unrealistic and strange brain holes, such as letting circus animals perform that was absolutely not okay.

The main and secondary are clear, no matter what you do on the stage, you have to ensure that the absolute protagonist is Miwa-chan. Unless she can sing while taming the beast, she won't talk about it.

Another important point is to make sure at this stage that you don't add too useless expenses outside of the main stage.

A meeting was lively, and after the meeting, the beauty and sauce that talked too much were dry, and tons and tons of crazy hydration.

Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura waited for her to finish replenishing the water, and the three of them came out of the office. At the beginning of the first day of the locust, the air pressure in Tokyo was a little low, so they decided to go to GENZO's new office without running around.

Actually, it doesn't really matter where you go, it's just that you want to talk.

First, to communicate the results of the discussion just now, and secondly, Iwahashi Shinichi also wanted to talk to the two of them about LIVEHOUSE. Without further ado, especially after deciding to abandon the band's kingdom and return to the underground-to-surface mode of promotion.

Shinichi Iwahashi came from the record company - from GenZo to Watanabe Manyumi's U-MIZ, just a short walk away.

So now, the three of them sit together in Brother Nakamura's Mark II.

The dream of an outdoor tour has come true, and the agreement with Shinichi Iwahashi has also come true, Miwa-chan is in a pretty good mood, and she has a crooked neck disease from the moment she gets into the car, so she leans towards him, "I'm really going to go on an outdoor tour, Shin Yi-kun." ”

"THEY'VE ALL SAID WE'RE 'DREAMS COME TRUE.'" Iwahashi said.

Miwa-chan nodded, convinced, "So, the wish will definitely come true." However, I also know in my heart that what really makes the wish come true is not the name of the band that "Dreams Come True", but the three people who work hard to make their dreams come true.

Especially Shinichi Iwahashi.

She unreservedly trusted Shinichi Iwahashi, so she made a wish to him, "If you want to go on tour, you must go to Hokkaido and Sapporo." ”

But it's not so much about making a wish, it's about pouring out the truth.

Iwahashi smiled at her, "Are you going to 'return home'?"

With "LOVE GOES ON... AS WELL AS THE TWO HIT HITS OF "SO HAPPY, SO HAPPY!SO LIKE!" AND "FUTURE VISION II", NOW DREAMS COME TRUE IS UNDOUBTEDLY A POWERFUL BAND THAT NO ONE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY CAN IGNORE.

To this day, when she returns to her hometown in Hokkaido, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is "returning home".

"I'm from Hokkaido, so of course I want to do a concert in my hometown. Miwa-chan did not deny the matter of "returning home".

When you work hard in Beijing and get ahead, you naturally want to let the villagers in your hometown take a look at it, and it is normal for people to see it.

"In addition, I just want to put Shin Yi-kun," Miwa-chan said this, his tone paused, glanced at the back of the head of Brother Nakamura who was driving, and added his name, "And Masato-san." ”

"I want to take you with me to Hokkaido and let my family entertain you. Miwa-chan so announced.

Masato Nakamura, who was driving in front, smiled, "No matter how I listen, I also feel like I'm the one by the way." ”

"Haha!" to Brother Nakamura's self-deprecation, Iwahashi Shinichi smiled unkindly.

However, Miwa-chan corrected quite seriously, "It's not like that, I also see Masato-san as an important and irreplaceable teammate." Although Masato-san says something that makes people angry from time to time. ”

“......”

Who the hell is always saying things that make people angry? Brother Nakamura complained silently in his heart. However, being recognized by Miwa Chan is an irreplaceable and important teammate, so I don't care about it for the sake of this sentence.

Brother Nakamura found himself to go down the stairs, and he would never admit that it was because Miwa-chan who carried a gun with a mouse couldn't afford to provoke him.

In order to prevent the fight from overturning on the spot, Shinichi Iwahashi quickly diverted the topic, "Sapporo is a must-go, but Shizuoka can only be counted, it is close to Tokyo, and it is still a small place that is not very inconspicuous." ”

Large-scale tours will only be held in big cities, Shizuoka, the hometown of Shinichi Iwahashi, and unless it is a national small venue tour of the Sanxia Rural Auditorium, there is no need to think about "returning home".

Unlike Sapporo, the largest city in Hokkaido, you can't get around it as long as you have a national tour.

What's more, the giraffe man's return to his hometown is not interesting.

When you wear a hood, no one loves it.

"I don't care, anyway, Tokyo is definitely the last stop on the schedule. ”

Brother Nakamura, a native of Tokyo, is not flustered.

......

When they arrived at the production company's office, the three of them sat down.

Iwahashi Shinichi instructed the clerk to make tea, and after resting for a while, he didn't sell the guanzi, and went straight to the point, "What are you two thinking about the matter of investing in LIVEHOUSE mentioned last time?"

Miwa-chan's attitude has long been clear, "Anyway, my royalties are useless, and it doesn't hurt to hand them over to Shen Yijun." ”

That's how she believes in Shinichi Iwahashi.

Masato Nakamura was still concerned about that matter, "Is Watanabe-san also joining in?" ”

Iwahashi Shinichi denied, "Watanabe-san is not involved in the production company's affairs. ”

"And how exactly are you going to run it?" asked Masato Nakamura a more practical question.

Shinichi Iwahashi told him, "I'm going to open a livehouse in Tokyo and Osaka at the same time." ”

"Osaka?" Miwa-chan was a little unexpected.

Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "The formation of the roadshow band in Osaka Castle Park is not lost to the Walker Heaven at all. ”

"Osaka seems to be competing with Tokyo everywhere. Miwa-chan smiled.

Even her, a native of Hokkaido, knows the grievances and hatreds between Tokyo and Osaka, and sure enough, regional disputes are always a hot topic.

Brother Nakamura paid attention to other things, "Open at the same time?"

"Yes. Shinichi Iwahashi explained, "The two places opened at the same time to create momentum. When the LIVEHOUSE opens, local bands are welcome to perform. Not only does it accept well-known underground bands and unnamed bands that have just debuted, but it also provides additional performance opportunities for potential amateur bands, and maybe they can find good talents. ”

I left a business card for Q because I was thinking about opening the same LIVEHOUSE in Osaka.

Although a few days have passed since then, the band has not yet called him. However, whether to fight or not, Iwahashi Shinichi has already decided so.

"Shin Ich-kun is trying to discover new people through LIVEHOUSE?" Masato Nakamura understood.

He thought for a moment and said euphemistically: "In this way, it seems that there is no special benefit to me to take a stake in LIVEHOUSE. LIVEHOUSE will definitely lose money in the initial operation, and even if it starts to make a profit later, it will not make much money. ”

Instead, Shinichi Iwahashi, who wants to use LIVEHOUSE to discover new people, is the biggest beneficiary.

Teammates are teammates, and when it comes to interests, brothers have to settle accounts.

"I think it's good. Miwa-chan thought to herself.

Stumbling and stumbling, she didn't get a decent opportunity until she met Shinichi Iwahashi, and thought that it would be nice if LIVEHOUSE could provide an underground band opportunity.

Unlike Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura, she is a complete artist.

Because of this, people worry about her. Because of this, even if you worry about her, you don't feel that she is a trouble.

"Definitely. Shinichi Iwahashi admitted.

"But," he said, "I'm not trying to use my teammates' light to my advantage. ”

He said to Brother Nakamura, "So, I plan to operate it in the name of a production company and give you the shares of the production company and Miwa-chan." ”

Talking about ideals with people is nice but empty, and you still have to be practical. Especially when the other party is someone like Brother Nakamura.

Now is the time to seize the opportunity, decide the direction to work on, and do not delay.

Partnering with LIVEHOUSE is about ideals, but it is more realistic to launch a production company. Iwahashi Shinichi showed this card, and Brother Nakamura's attitude softened a little.

"EVEN A LIVEHOUSE ISN'T NECESSARILY WORTHLESS. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi said, "It may be early to say this, but after all, I am communicating with investors...... Now we will open two first, and in the future, if the signboard can be erected, we will open chain stores in major cities across the country and make them brands. At that time, it will not only be a performance for underground bands, but also a venue for singers to tour concerts. ”

Singers who pay attention to the atmosphere of the scene, singers who are not popular but have a certain diehard, singers who have just debuted and accumulated popularity, for these singers, a venue with a scale of several hundred people and reasonable equipment is an excellent place to go.

"Basically, that's what I'm going to do. Of course, for now, we will only focus on Tokyo and Osaka. "If you want to do it, you will have to negotiate the specific allocation." When the time comes, it's time to call in a professional to help. ”

Masato Nakamura nodded, "Then sit down and discuss it carefully." ”

That's more than half of the deal.

After saying everything that should be said, he took off the mask he had just talked about serious matters, and showed Winnie the Pooh's smile again, "Anyway, I didn't buy the shares sold by the Okinawa Electric Power Company yesterday." I have a little money to spare. ”

In other words, after Iwahashi Shinichi mentioned that he was going to open a LIVEHOUSE that day, Brother Nakamura dismissed the idea of buying stocks, and waited for him to explain things clearly before deciding whether to buy shares.

Giving up an obvious opportunity to make a fortune and waiting to see Iwahashi Shinichi's arrangement is obviously also out of trust in Iwahashi Shinichi.

However, Brother Nakamura's trust is not as unconditional as Miwa-chan.

In other words, talents like Miwa-chan are outliers.

......

Things are more or less discussed, and you have to take your time to do it. The backlog of work at hand has to be done one by one.

If you want to open a LIVEHOUSE, here in Tokyo, you naturally have to rely on Mineshima to help coordinate and select a location. As for Osaka, depending on the situation, you can entrust an intermediary or continue to hand it over to Mineshima and let him find someone he can trust.

Mineshima has been in the underground music circle for so long, and he personally drove the band around to perform, and there are some connections in the underground music circle in Kanto, Kansai and Kanchu.

For the time being, there is no need for Iwahashi Shinichi to do it himself, he can just divide his energy and do other work first.

Running a LIVEHOUSE in the name of a production company is not simply to reassure the two teammates, Iwahashi Shinichi has another consideration-

THAT IS, HIS GENZO IS NOW IN SPACE.

This production company, which he completely dominates, is almost worthless at the moment, and it can't be exchanged for a few bucks if it is broken up and sold. At this stage, he is concentrating on the record company, but it does not mean that he will put the production company aside as an empty shell.

No matter what the purpose, whether it is a retreat or a bargaining chip for the future, he will fill this production company with blood and flesh to make it more valuable.

In this way, it makes sense for him, who has absolute control, to hold this production company.

......

In the evening, Shinichi Iwahashi stayed at the production company to work overtime.

The next meeting will be the morning after tomorrow, and until then, he's going to put together ideas for an outdoor tour. It is worthy of starting your own business, and even if you work overtime, you are willing to enjoy it.

After eight o'clock, all the employees on the production company's side had already left work, and he was the only one in the office.

I was struggling to write a book when the pager on the table rang.

Iwahashi glanced at the number on it, put down his pen, and reached for the telephone receiver on the table.
