549. Native Characteristics

"Please don't worry about me. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi pulled out a chair and sat down, motioning for them to continue.

He was not speaking kindly, and the people present were not polite to him, continuing the unfinished discussion in his presence. Shinichi Iwahashi took the sheet music that had been placed there, flipping through it and listening to their discussion.

The scope of work of the chief producer and the music producer in charge is different. Shinichi Iwahashi is in charge of finalizing new songs to be released at the song selection meeting before entering the studio.

Wait until the song is finished, and then he decides on the final release from a bunch of arranged versions.

As for the specific production in the middle, although he is not a hands-off shopkeeper, he will confirm it several times in the middle and put forward his own opinions, but in terms of details, it is mainly handed over to the band members and the music producers who are specifically responsible.

It's the details that are finalized at the current meeting, and before he can play a role, he doesn't need to pay too much attention to the content of the meeting, and then he can communicate directly with the music producer and listen to the main points.

The most important thing for him to come over this time is not to see the production progress of the band's new song, but to Sachiko Kamaike.

After seeing her performance during his trip to Osaka, Shinichi Iwahashi thought about how to adjust her style on stage. As a result, she bumped into a national funeral, and after returning to Tokyo, all kinds of things were waiting, and now she has spare time to see her.

At the same time, the band has been arranging performances at the LIVEHOUSE in Tokyo, holding free events, and performing at universities, so it will be a round of intensive live performances.

Before the start of this round of performances, make it clear what needs to be said.

......

After performing so many times, Sachiko Kamaike is still in a hurry in front of the audience. In this case, we should not only consider the question of whether the training level is enough or not, but also face up to one fact:

The restraint and youthfulness that cannot be eliminated in front of the audience is part of Sachiko Kamaike's personality and part of her stage style.

If this restraint must be removed, then it is very likely to go to the other extreme.

Iwahashi Shinichi thought of the amateur band he saw in Osaka Castle Park who "turned themselves into funny artists" in response to the ridicule of the audience, and felt that the tough dissolution of shortcomings would dissolve even the characteristics of Sachiko Kamaike herself.

In that case, it's better to find a way to strengthen the shortcomings until they become completely distinctive – of course, you can't simply cancel the live performance just because you're restrained by the audience.

Just confirm one thing from Sachiko Kamaike: that is, she is not the same as Haruko Akamatsu in the first confrontation with the audience.

During the ZARD performance, Haruko Akamatsu was always in charge of Sachiko Kamaike, and she followed through on what she learned from Shinichi Iwahashi, only to ignore it.

Unlike Haruko Akamatsu, who gained the courage to perform by confronting the audience, Sachiko Kamaike herself has always been full of kindness to the audience.

Therefore, she will be so embarrassed that she sticks out her tongue to the audience because she eats the screws, she will be happy because she is affirmed by the audience, and she will go all out for the performance in front of her and in order to be able to convey her feelings to the audience.

Having confirmed this in advance, Iwahashi Shinichi was much more confident.

......

After the meeting, ZARD's personal manager reported to Shinichi Iwahashi that the band was going to take photos for promotional purposes early tomorrow morning, and he booked to borrow tomorrow's costumes and prepare to take the first step.

The singers of the rookie era wear clothes that are either their own private costumes - such as the various aesthetic explosions that Miwa-chan prepared for her debut, and her self-proclaimed "performance costumes", many of which she transformed and sewed by herself.

A little better clothes are borrowed by the company, and during the entire publicity period of a record, one or two sets of clothes that are really purchased by the company are within the scope of good treatment.

If you want to buy on a big scale, you still have to wait until it becomes popular.

However, when the agent said this, Shinichi Iwahashi stopped him, "Wait a minute." ”

As soon as he spoke, not only did the agent move, but the band members also turned their eyes to him.

"Let's change the itinerary on the fly. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi instructed, "Put down the recording beforehand, and then let the band go with you to borrow costumes." ”

The agent showed a puzzled expression at his words.

Shinichi Iwahashi explained, "Let the members choose their own favorites, but if they can't choose the right ......one," he said, he raised his hand and looked at the time, "It's still too late to go to the department store, so I'll go buy it." ”

"Is that okay?" the broker did not immediately comply.

He has been in the industry much longer than Shinichi Iwahashi, a former agent, and he is not a newcomer recruited from outside, so he has his own set of ideas about bringing newcomers.

For celebrities, when they are on stage, they should pay attention to expressiveness. Expressiveness is not only reflected in conversation and performance, but also in clothing and makeup.

Leave it to the costume artist to choose, and leave it to the makeup artist to take care of it, just to find the style that suits the members, and to highlight this style and temperament, to prepare the costumes and apply makeup.

If you give this task to the members, they will most likely wear rustic shirts and go straight to the camera.

In fact, she is not afraid of being rustic, and the clothes that explode in the aesthetics of beauty and sauce really have nothing to do with the word foreign, but her strange aesthetics that are complained about from time to time are part of her on the stage.

Iwahashi Shinichi knew that she had a surprisingly strange vision, but she still defended her right to choose her own costumes for the performance, just to preserve her whimsical seed - at least in the music world, no one can imitate her.

The broker's biggest concern is "featurelessness".

If the members were allowed to come on their own, they would get a featureless rustic atmosphere, and at that time, the expressiveness they were pursuing would no longer exist.

"No problem. Iwahashi said.

He looked around at the four members of the band, then fell on Sachiko Kamaike. When I came to record today, she barely wore makeup, but it would not be appropriate to describe her as "clear soup noodles".

Looking at this face without powder, he remembered for a moment that when Sachiko Kamachi was brought to him by Haruko Akamatsu for the first time, she had just finished the modeling shoot, her face was covered with heavy makeup, and she looked no different from a girl of her age on the street.

Sachiko Kamaike is a beauty with outstanding appearance, and she is not a bowl of somen noodles with clear soup, but it is not suitable for heavy makeup.

Modelling requires extreme expressiveness, but for Sachiko Kamaike, she clearly knows better what she fits into.

Whether it's because she knows she's suitable for light makeup, or because of her personality, it's clear that makeup that is up to her discretion is more suitable for her.

And when he looked at Sachiko Kamaike, Sachiko Kamaike also looked at Shinichi Iwahashi.

She looked like a good student listening to the lecture and listened carefully to his conversation with the agent.
