203. Shunji Iwai
The director of the MV is handed over to Warner Pioneer, and it is easy for them to find, and they can choose from the new directors signed by film schools or TV stations, anyway, they must be of good quality and low price - the key is low price.
searched and searched, and finally hired a rookie director named Shunji Iwai.
Hearing that Warner Pioneer reported the name, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't react on his face, but he was surprised in his heart.
Among the directors of this book, if you want to say that Shunji Iwai can be called a famous name, not to mention anything else, just an unfading masterpiece like "Love Letter" is enough to make this name known to many people.
It is also enough for Shinichi Iwahashi to remember this name for a long time, from the previous life to this life.
The name Shunji Iwai is not an ordinary name like Ken Sato, who grabs a lot of names casually, plus his profession is still a director, and there will be almost zero "Zengzi and Zengzi".
Shinichi Iwahashi thinks it's incredible, the future great director, wants to shoot a MV for Chisato Moritaka...... It's amazing.
But it's not surprising to think about it, after all, the big director is the "future", and the current Shunji Iwai is just a person who is no different from an unknown producer like him, who stepped on the mud and didn't climb up.
In this case, what is it to get a job to shoot a MV for a new singer?
So after the accident, Shinichi Iwahashi thought more about it, Shunji Iwai came to shoot the MV of Chisato Moritaka, and the theme was to show the youthful vitality of the girl...... What will it take?
Shunji Iwai is now a director at Fuji Television, and although he has made a few short films, he has made no splashes and is basically unknown, making TV shorts and commercials to make a living, and at the same time honing himself.
In this way, he has to keep his style from being worn out and become more distinct, and at the same time, he must listen to the requirements of the client and shoot according to their requirements.
It's not easy to find a sense of balance, and when he received the shooting of the MV, he didn't think the job was worth mentioning, and he was meticulous in his personality, so he went to get to know Mori Taka, and listened to her songs, and drew the storyboard seriously, and took a MV to show the youthful vitality of a girl, and took it seriously with the attitude of the movie.
Because of this, after getting the shooting plan, not only Shinichi Iwahashi, but also the entire team were amazed by his plan, and there is no doubt about the level of professional directors.
The filming producer of the MV didn't need to go to the scene to stare at it, so Iwahashi Shinichi never met Shunji Iwai from beginning to end, but it doesn't matter if you see it or not, it's a long time coming.
Not only did he not meet with Shunji Iwai, but after the recording ended, Shinichi Iwahashi also stopped meeting with Chisato Moritaka.
This kind of vacation from each other didn't last long, because it was the right to produce two singles at once, so at the same time that the previous single was produced, the production of the next single also had to enter the preparation stage before it began. Because of this, even the contract signed with Shunji Iwai is a MV for two singles, and after filming this time, when the next single is finished, he will have to work him again.
The next single is scheduled to be released in early December, and when it comes to December, it's snow, it's Christmas, in short, it's a month with a strong festive atmosphere, and I hope my heart is warm when I'm cold.
Shinichi Iwahashi has a clear goal, seizing the theme of the season and festivals to create a Christmas song.
......
While preparing for Chisato Moritaka's next single, the long-awaited first episode of "Band Heaven" is getting closer and closer.
"Band Heaven" adopts the form of live broadcast, and the live broadcast of the talent show can win the trust of the audience more than the recorded broadcast, and it can also increase the excitement, not only that, but the strength of the band is more important.
A month or two before the start of the program, TV Asahi began to arrange publicity one after another, and the closer the time, the more intensive the publicity became. TV series and records need to be promoted, and variety shows are the same.
TV Asahi's new music program "MUSIC STATION" has good ratings, and the "Band Heaven" advertisement also appeared in the commercial gap of "MS".
In addition, radio stations and music magazines have also collaborated, and the cooperative music magazines have attached opinion survey cards to encourage viewers to send their opinions to the TV station after watching the program.
This formation, although it is a late-night file, is indeed made with ambition.
At the same time, the amateur bands also received their own televised qualifying letters.
The three members of the human chair who were selected as the starters set aside the day's time in advance and asked for leave from their part-time jobs. BOLAN, who was also selected as the starter, and two university students are also ready to depart from Kanagawa for Tokyo.
......
And in another corner of Tokyo, Takao Tajima, who was not selected as the first player, but received an invitation to record the second episode of the program, prepared the video early in the morning. He was performing at LIVEHOUSE on the night of the show, so he planned to record the show to see what kind of opponents his band was going to face.
Everything was ready to go until the day the first episode started airing.
The amateur bands were full of energy, the audience interested in the band was also excited, and those attracted by the advertising campaign also set their sights on the area...... There are also regular viewers in this time period, looking at this new show with a scrutinizing mentality.
When others are expecting or curious, Shinichi Iwahashi, as the planner of the show, seems to be unenthusiastic.
It's normal to think about it, all kinds of preparations have been made in advance, and the bands that debuted are also selected by themselves after watching the video, considering the effect of the show, and this kind of meticulous preparation has consumed Shinichi Iwahashi's enthusiasm for the show, and he seems indifferent to the broadcast of the show, in contrast, he is more concerned about the results - ratings and winners.
......
"Moxi Moxi...... Is it Mom?"
In the evening, Shinjuku Kanzaki Real Estate, Sachiko Kamoike took the receiver and called home.
The mother on the other end of the phone picked it up, which made Sachiko Kamaike unconsciously feel a lot more relaxed. Her father was a traditional and old-fashioned person, and talking to her gentle and considerate mother made her feel more at ease.
Sachiko Kamaike called home to tell her mother that she would not return to Hatsuno's house tonight, and that she would stay in Tokyo and attend a yacht party organized by a real estate company.
In the bubble era, there were all kinds of carnival parties every night, and Kanzaki Real Estate was thriving in business, and it was even more generous, and there were many subsidies and group activities.
Sachiko Kamaike is not the kind of reception lady who likes to join in the fun, and invitations between colleagues are often politely declined by her, but the activities organized in the name of the company are still necessary to participate.
Explaining the situation, telling her mother that she didn't have to pick her up at the station tonight, and hung up the phone, Sachiko Kamaike breathed a sigh of relief. When I turned around, I saw the bright smiling face of my colleague Junko Aoyama, who was also a receptionist.
"Sachiko," Junko Aoyama was full of anticipation, "the next party, you have to enjoy it to the fullest!"
