473. Worthy of you and me

Hearing this, Iwahashi Shinichi was quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, Watanabe Manyumi still had a little friendship with his sister in private.

In the matter of establishing a record company, Watanabe Manyumi had contact with Asako Iwahashi, and the two professional women had a good impression of each other.

Iwahashi Shinichi vacated his itinerary for the wedding day several weeks in advance, and with such fanfare, Watanabe Manyumi naturally knew that this day was the day of Iwahashi Asako's wedding.

However, she doesn't have a deep friendship with Asako Iwahashi, and she can't go to the wedding yet. Even so, a week before the wedding, I sent a gift to Asako Iwahashi's office to congratulate her on her new marriage.

In response, Asako Iwahashi also sent a wedding gift in return to Watanabe Manyumi.

"So. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't intend to ask the extent to which the domineering president and his elite sister had a so-called lack of friendship, and what she thought of Asako, but instead focused on another question: "As Asako's younger brother, what can I be congratulated on." ”

He was also angry about Watanabe's ridicule just now, and he had a feeling that he was united by his sister and Watanabe Manyumi, so Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately took words to push her.

Occasionally see him so cautious - the point is that occasionally, Watanabe Manyumi doesn't think he's looking for trouble, but thinks it's funny, and deliberately pushes back, "Asahko-san got married, congratulations to Shen Yijun for also entering the first place in the family to get married." ”

You're not the same yourself......

Before Iwahashi Shinichi opened his mouth to complain, he first realized Watanabe Manyumi's incomparably exquisite "also", and couldn't help laughing, and the idea of continuing to quarrel with her just now suddenly disappeared.

It's really worthy of Manyumi Watanabe, who can easily resolve the matter.

However, as far as this is the case, neither of them continued to talk about marriage as a joke.

......

After attending the wedding, I made a special trip to Watanabe Manyumi's office, definitely not to send it to the door and be burned by her eyes. On the eve of the wedding, Shinichi Iwahashi reached a consensus with Hiroyuki Narita that it was the right thing to convey to her.

However, after hearing Watanabe Manyumi say that she had a little friendship with Iwahashi Asako, Iwahashi Shinichi was a little curious, thinking that Narita Kanyuki, who knew Watanabe Manyumi, through him, did you know that Asako and Watanabe Manyumi have always had a relationship in private?

But in the next second, he first made a denial in his heart.

With Iwahashi Asako's personality, she would not do such a transgressive thing. On the other hand, even if Hiroyuki Narita wants to get to know Watanabe Manyumi, the path he chooses must be through Shinichi Iwahashi.

“...... Anyway, I talked about this with my brother-in-law Narita yesterday. ”

After hearing this, Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "Narita-san is also willing to help with the contact? That would be much smoother." ”

There are some things that need not be said explicitly, Narita Hiroyuki is the brother-in-law of Shinichi Iwahashi, and it is the power that he can win on his side. Iwahashi Shinichi threw a signal for help to Narita Kanyuki and enlisted his brother-in-law to join, still in order to get rid of the situation where he could only rely on the influence of the Watanabe family.

The addition of Hiroyuki Narita will not play a decisive role in the promotion of the band this time. But the more involved he is, the closer he gets, the more he can do for the partnership.

In the long run, the more power available, the better. At first, it was a leverage, and then it was a win-win situation.

Using the addition of Narita Kanyuki as an introduction, the two talked about this publicity plan.

It was decided that the rearranged "Future Forecast II" would be sung at the Red and White Song Party, and the original publicity plan of Iwahashi Shin was also changed.

That's the way it is, it's the clever one who is Zhuge Cheng.

"Originally, I wanted to focus the publicity on the new year, but now, I need to adjust it. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi said that he wanted to add a piece of publicity during the year to promote the song through radio broadcasts.

"Singing on the radio. Watanabe Manyumi pondered.

Iwahashi Shinichi told her, "The locust is critically ill, and the promulgation of the self-regulation decree has greatly affected the entertainment activities of the people, and this wedding of Sister Asako, if it is not booked several months in advance, I am afraid that it will not be held as usual." ”

"Not only are large-scale events affected, but now that the year-end party is not expected to be held with as much fanfare as in previous years, and as for various Christmas events, they can only be cancelled. ”

"Wouldn't this kind of atmosphere be very boring for couples in love?"

Iwahashi Shinichi asked jokingly, and his tone was full of single Wang's schadenfreude.

Originally, Christmas, a winter Valentine's Day when couples took the opportunity to come out and abuse dogs, was a day when men and women and men and women went on dates, gifts, meals, and sleeps, but now due to self-discipline, the shopping streets are deserted, and many of the original plans have to be ruined.

Men may take the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief. ”

In response to him, Watanabe Manyumi also made a joke casually.

Indeed, if the plan is lost, it will save a lot of money on dating. For this era when men may not be able to get a date opportunity after paying all the bills, it is indeed worth the men to quietly breathe a sigh of relief and secretly thank the locust for being critically ill.

"However, this kind of 'boring' may also become an opportunity for us. "Iwahashi Shinkazu.

If the end of this year runs at full speed as usual, couples will eat, drink and have fun without delay, and everyone will probably be more willing to go to the disco to dance the song "Jun の瞳に恋してる~Cant Take My Eyes Off You" than to listen to a slowly advancing song "Future Forecast II".

But in this somewhat boring Christmas, in this atmosphere that needs to be restrained, couples who have been forced to slow down the pace of rushing forward at high speed may be able to pay more attention to the song "Future Forecast II" than usual.

"In addition to this, there may have been a hundred ways of expressing affection in the past, but because of the self-discipline, there may have been only thirty of the hundred. Now at this juncture, it may become a new kind of promotion for "Future Vision II". ”

"Five brake lights?"

Iwahashi nodded cautiously, "That's right. So, play this song on the car radio. ”

Of course, the scene in the lyrics is that after the male protagonist sends the heroine downstairs, he flashes five times when he sees her enter the door, not when he is driving on the road.

If it is the latter, even if the production team is brain-pumping and releases the song word for word, it is estimated that it will be required to rectify by the folk broadcasting alliance because the lyrics convey a dangerous orientation.

Although there is no official department to regulate the entertainment industry, there are a large number of various civil society groups that keep a close eye on the industry. This so-called folk broadcasting alliance is responsible for staring at singers.

Those songs with strange lyrics, once broadcast, if they are determined by this non-governmental broadcasting alliance to be unable to be broadcast, they will either be removed from the shelves or rectified.

For example, a certain singing boss, Saburo Kitajima, the leader of the Kitajima group, was directly banned from broadcasting his debut single because of color.

"I heard this song in the car......" Manyumi Watanabe imagined.

The space in the car is confined and the atmosphere is quiet, and in this environment, you can share a car with the person you are in love, and then the radio broadcasts the song "Future Forecast II".

The quiet and closed carriage can give this slow but slowly advancing song a chance to unfold.

In a quiet and closed car, hearing the confession of "the brake light flashes five times", whether it is the person driving in the driver's seat or the person sitting on the side, in such an atmosphere, such a simple confession may just touch people's hearts.

"I've copied a few tapes of Future Vision II. Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "I deliberately put it in the car and listened to it for a while, and then decided that I could try this method by playing songs through the car radio." ”

"Hmm. "Watanabe Manyumi thoughtfully.

"One more point. Iwahashi Shinkazu mentioned, "This song is nearly seven and a half minutes long, and it is not easy to have an effect when you change to other platforms for a song of this length." ”

"Are you going to play the whole song on the radio?" asked Watanabe.

Iwahashi nodded cautiously, "Exactly. As you've said before, this song is characterized by interlocking strings, and removing one of the lyrics will tarnish it. ...... Unless it's familiar. ”

"So, go through the radio in advance to make this song familiar. ”

After listening to this, Watanabe Manyumi pointed out one point, "If this is the case, the Red and White Song Festival will still have publicity after the year, what will I do with the previous plan?"

Originally, I wanted to use the stage of the Red and White Song Club to play songs, but now, with the addition of radio songs, the original idea of the Red and White Song Club has lost its meaning?

"Plans need to be adjusted as they change. Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it in his heart early in the morning, and he came back quickly.

"However, it is not too much of a change, and in general, it is still going according to the previous plan. It's just that," he said slowly, "Manyumi-san, we're postponing the release date of this new album." ”

"......," Watanabe said, as she listened.

The release date of this album was postponed to the end of the year, but before the release, the song was played through the car radio.

The public listens to the song, but they can't buy it – because the album hasn't been released yet. So, you can't hear the song anywhere except on the car radio.

Wait until the end of the year when the album is released, and on the night of the Red and White Song Meeting, the band will take the stage and sing the song again. At this time, the public also knew who the song that was hyped on the radio and familiar to them came from.

It's Domuzcom's bald purr.

At the same time as the mystery was revealed, the next day, according to the original plan, it was advertised on TV. Iwahashi said.

Watanabe Manyumi listened carefully to his 2.0 version of the plan, thought about it, and said, "It feels like this plan was born by omitting one thing. ”

"Huh?"

It's a single called Future Visions II. ”

She pointed out, "I made a lot of noise on the radio a few years ago, and according to common sense, this is the specification for releasing a single. However, the way you come up with a promotional single, you promote a single that doesn't exist. ”...... It's another idea that goes against the other hand.

"Interesting. Iwahashi Shinichi admires her perspective on the problem, "It's worthy of Manyumi-san." ”

Watanabe Manyumi didn't take his words.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care, and went straight to the point, "So, can this plan get your support?" ”

DREAMS COME TRUE is a singer signed by U-MIZ, and this kind of promotional resource is indispensable for the help of the firm, and from this point of view, Shinichi Iwahashi, who is contracted by the agency at U-MIZ, is not wrong to call the boss.

But apparently, Shinichi Iwahashi deliberately called it that.

However, the long-lost "BOSS" still hit Watanabe's laughter with great accuracy.

"When I play a seven-and-a-half-minute song on the radio, I should say 'worthy of you'. Watanabe Manyumi complained about him.

According to the regulations of the Music Association, if a song is longer than five minutes, it will be counted as two. Although this kind of big long song makes a lot of money when collecting royalties, when the singer himself has to pay something, it must be calculated according to two songs.

So, playing a full field of seven and a half minutes on the radio, the U-MIZ side has to pay double the fee.

"Anyway, I'm counting on you. Iwahashi said with a smile.

"It's time for me to say, 'I'm counting on you.'" "Watanabe Manyumi doesn't eat him," the promotion fee is getting higher and higher, and now, you have to count on your plan to be a big success and the band's album to be a big hit. ”

That said, the amount of money earned by the company from their debut single and album, as well as the potential they showed, is not beyond the norm to prepare such a project.

Watanabe Manyumi fully supports this somewhat unobtrusive publicity plan.

With the Red and White Song Festival as the demarcation point, the publicity plan before the Red and White Song Festival has been reformulated, and then the publicity plan after the Red and White Song Festival needs to be confirmed.

There was no turning back when he opened the bow, and Iwahashi Shinichi simply proposed to play bigger.

"It's not interesting to put an audio of the title song in 15 or 30 seconds and only put an album in the background of the commercial. Iwahashi said.

Watanabe asked him, "What are you going to do again?"

Thanks to the fact that the boss of this office is Watanabe Manyumi, if it were someone else, how could he toss it like this.

"To borrow a phrase from you, it's an idea that was born after omitting something. ”

"Huh?"

"It's a MV. Shinichi Iwahashi revealed the answer.

He didn't sell it, but Watanabe Manyumi was a little confused because of his unforeshadowed directness.

"When releasing a new song, it is customary to shoot a MV. This time, to promote the new song, it is better to shoot a MV-like advertisement than just putting a song like other promotional advertisements. Iwahashi said.

"I see that the funding is increasing. This was the first thing that came to Watanabe's mind.

Iwahashi Shinichi laughed when he heard this, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't want you to worry, BOSS." ”...... Again deliberately.

It's ridiculous, he still gave an idea, "Actually, there is a way to save a little money on advertising." ”

"What's the solution?" said Watanabe Manyumi looked at him.
