This is the first time that Shinichi Iwahashi has proposed to cooperate with another firm.

Saying this is also breaking the tacit pace that has always been maintained with Watanabe Manyumi. The first step is difficult, which is why Shinichi Iwahashi is so tactful.

GENZO has improved slightly, and as a producer, he is not unknown in the industry, and behind this, he is inseparable from the support of Watanabe Manyumi.

It's just that Watanabe Manyumi is not his unconditional backing, and their cooperation is based on being able to achieve a win-win situation, so Iwahashi Shinichi can't do whatever he wants.

In the final analysis, he started from scratch and has no background, and if he makes a wrong move, it may be difficult to turn the tables, so he must be careful. However, despite his weakness, when the opportunity arises, he still has to find a way to seize it, even if it is a showdown with Watanabe Manyumi, who has always cooperated and relied on it to some extent.

Of course, Watanabe Manyumi understands these things, and she also understands the intentions behind his caution.

Iwahashi Shinichi is a person who can be said to be both pragmatic and idealistic. So that when these two qualities are reconciled together, there is still a little awkward cuteness.

However, whether it is pragmatic or idealistic, he has never deceived her from beginning to end. Even if he used this little calculation, it was to tell her about it.

If she wants to blame, she will only blame him for not speaking directly.

However, the stakes of this relationship are indeed more suitable for Watanabe Manyumi to say by himself than for him. Knowing this, she didn't blame Iwahashi Shinichi for this little calculation, nor did she blame him for not saying things directly.

When she invited Shinichi Iwahashi to join her firm, he chose to be independent instead of agreeing, which was a kind of honesty. And now, when you have the right idea, you don't hide your thoughts because you need to consider the relationship with her, which is also a kind of honesty.

Watanabe Manyumi thanked him for this candor in her heart.

Because she knows one thing. Disputes and dissenting relationships may not be unrepairable, but if one party wants to hide, suppress, and give up their ideas for a long time, such a relationship will collapse sooner or later.

When she was still working on Watanabe, she hated Ichigendo and respected everyone's opinions, not to mention that Shinichi Iwahashi was not yet her employee, but her partner and ally.

It is precisely because he is a weak ally that he must pay more attention not to let him be forced to give up his ideas.

Watanabe Manyumi picked up the water cup and took a sip.

After briefly sorting out his thoughts, he looked at Iwahashi Shinichi again and asked his own question, "How are you going to cooperate with the Star Office?" ”

That's the next point, and that's what she's focused on.

Rather than caring about the little scheming just now, the most important thing is why you have to use such a careful scheming.

How he plans to negotiate cooperation with the Xingchen Office, what he wants to get from the Xingchen Office, what he has to give, how to persuade the Star Office to nod and accept, and what he wants her to do, this is the most important thing.

It is only by knowing what he is going to do that she can react accordingly and decide how she should choose.

"That's a problem. Shinichi Iwahashi admitted, looking distressed.

Watanabe Manyumi waited for his next words, not believing that he had this idea and didn't come up with any suitable plan at the same time.

Shinichi Iwahashi looked at the expression on her face and smiled, "Don't look at me like that. It's complicated, and I'm thinking of a good idea. ”

"Okay?" Watanabe felt that he had something to say.

This smile is the same, every time he wants to come up with an idea, he will show such an expression.

"Supposedly, things are in front of us, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi said, "Prepare a plan and an ABNORMAL performance video, and go to the Stellar Office. ”

"To be honest, ABNORMAL's musicians have no problem with their standards. After Akamatsu withdrew, the three of them did not stop honing themselves.

"The technology is enough, and the company's music library has also saved enough songs to produce at least two regular albums. For just the three of them, the degree of completion is already good. Besides, Hirakawa-san listened to Kamaike-san's recording and praised her. ”

And Sachiko Kamaike is not a future star who was carefully cultivated after being signed by the Star Office, but an ordinary model who is not arranged to work all day long, and there are a lot of such models in the same period alone.

Inviting her to join a highly completed band is not a sabotage of her career plan for the Star Agency, but a more feasible path in front of her.

Besides, now there is a trend brought by the band Heaven, and the attention of the band has soared, and there are companies that take the opportunity to pull people to form a band, not to mention such a band sent to the door.

Because of this, it may not be easy to convince and get the support of the Star Firm, but it is not so difficult. ”

When Shinichi Iwahashi said this, the conversation changed, "It's not how to negotiate that I can't make up my mind. But if the negotiation is successful, it will be a matter of the future. ”

"In the future......" Watanabe Manyumi thoughtfully.

Who to hand over the band to, or who to work with, in the end, these are still superficial things, and the deeper problems have not been solved.

Shinichi Iwahashi wanted to bypass Haruko Akamatsu and reorganize ABNORMAL in order to seize the opportunity to produce a band that was completely branded as GENZO, and to make a name for himself in the industry. To do this, he needs absolute control over the band.

He believes in Watanabe Manyumi because they are both in their infancy in the first place, and they also see making a band as the next goal, so they put the agency contract to her, and Shinichi Iwahashi can let it go.

But the Star Office is different, and it lacks the tacit understanding and trust between it and Iwahashi Shinichi to move forward on three feet.

Besides, it has a big business, and its main business is not in music, so it gives the brokerage contract to Xingchen, and then sets up a band with a high degree of completion, but it can't guarantee its control over the band, and in the end it is equivalent to handing over all its net worth to others.

This kind of thing that pays for oneself if you are not careful must not be done.

What is the point of a fateful battle if fate cannot be held in one's own hands?

"Wanyumi-san. Shinichi Iwahashi called her.

Watanabe Manyumi looked up at him.

"I was thinking, why don't you start another record label. Iwahashi Shinichi slowly said that he had thought of this plan after thinking about it for a long time.

Formed a label to produce a band that "really belongs to GENZO".

There are as many production companies in Tokyo as there are record labels, there are labels affiliated with record labels, there are labels affiliated with record labels, and there are underground labels, and it is not difficult to set up a label, although there are many differences between different labels and labels.

However, one thing can be confirmed, after having his own label, he, the foundry of "Five Hamsters", also has the qualification to sell his own "Six Totoro" brand.

The establishment of the label was a part of the consideration when the production company was established, but it was not intended to be put into action so soon. Meeting Sachiko Kamaike made him speed up his actions.

In addition, he also has other plans in mind.

Now I trust each other with Manyumi Watanabe and work together. This trust is precious, but it is also fragile. blindly relies on and domineering the president, a two-person and three-legged state, in fact, he still divides half of his fate for her to hold. To this end, on the one hand, we must strengthen our relationship with her, and on the other hand, we must also leave room for ourselves.

Therefore, it is inevitable to take this step forward.

It was not so much that Sachiko Kamaike asked him to do this, but that it was in the matter of Sachiko Kamaike that he realized that this step could not wait for a long time, so he strengthened his determination to do so.

This thought pops up in my mind, and I can't stop it from continuing to think like this.

"However, we can't do an underground label anymore. Iwahashi Shinichi figured it out, "The small workshop can't be on the table." ”

Planting as many radishes as you want to fry vegetables in your own one-third of an acre of land is not a way after all. If you want to move forward, you need to seek support from other sources, including Manyumi Watanabe.

"Do you want to be involved with this label as well? Shinichi Iwahashi asked her.

When we met today, when he brought Sachiko Kamaike's audition tape, Watanabe Manyumi would never have thought of it, the topic turned around, and his real idea was this.

After a while, she said, "Like you can say it." ”

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled heartily and asked jokingly, "Then this is a compliment...... At least not sarcastic, right?"

Watanabe Manyumi is at ease, "It's hard to say. ...... If it's just a casual remark, it's not necessarily true. ”

You've got to come up with a plan.

"Hmm. Iwahashi Shinichi nodded pretending to be in response, "This is also like what you said." ”

Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help but laugh when she saw him like this. But I know that this topic is over for the time being.

Suddenly making such a blockbuster proposal, we can never expect to get a reply in the first place. In the same way, if you want to set up a label, how to plan it is not something that can be completed by clapping your hands while eating lunch.

It's easy to come up with ideas, but it's hard to get things done.

Patronizing and chatting, and by the time the meal is over, it's almost over.

SHINICHI IWAHASHI GOES TO POLYSTAR'S RECORDING STUDIO IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THAT'S WHERE THE TWO BREAK UP. Before leaving, he remembered something and said to her: "I have to come up with a suitable plan for the establishment of the label, and compared to that, the matter of Kamaike-san has strengthened my determination for another thing." ”

"In addition to urging you to set up a label, it also makes you want to do something else, is that Kamaike-san so powerful?" Watanabe teased him.

"If you're curious, I'll ask you to meet Kamachi-san next time. ”

Watanabe Manyumi thought it was a good idea, "I'm also quite interested in this Kamaike-san. You say she's a model, and her looks and figure must be good?"

"The beauty that doesn't lose to Akamatsu. "To be honest, the configuration of the female lead singer and the male musician, the appearance of the female lead singer is outstanding and distinctive, which is a big advantage. ”

It's not the first time I've heard this argument from Watanabe, and it's not surprising that he's emphasized that he should draw nutrients from his idol's stage experience and apply it to the band.

"Actually," Shinkachi Iwahashi turned back to the subject, "I'm planning to take the lead in organizing a Shizuoka association in the underground music circle. ”

"Fellow townspeople?"

"Miwa-chan has always been involved in the Hokkaido Association of the underground music scene, and there are regular events where people get together, communicate with each other, and sometimes be introduced to work through their fellow villagers. ”

"Shizuoka doesn't have such a hometown association, so I thought it would be better to take the lead in setting up one myself and bring together Shizuoka's underground musicians, and in the future, Shizuoka musicians will also have an organization in Beijing, and maybe they can find a standard in it, so as not to waste the really talented people. ”

"Is that Kamaike-san from Shizuoka?" Watanabe guessed.

Shinichi Iwahashi denied it, "It seems to be a Kanagawa person." ...... Kamaike-san's dream was to sing, but he became a model. I don't know how many people like him have passed by the opportunity. ”

If you want to go to Beijing for the sake of music, there is still a small window open for them. And GENZO has also been given a way to replenish fresh blood.

"I see. Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "To put it that way, I also have something urgent to do." ”

"Oh?" Iwahashi Shinichi also expressed curiosity.

Watanabe Manyumi told him, "Sign Izumi Inamura." ”

Even if it's not as the band's new lead singer, she won't miss Izumi Inamura. In other words, it is precisely because Iwahashi Shinichi insisted on choosing Sachiko Kamaike that Watanabe Manyumi must sign Izumi Inamura.

Izumi Inamura's temperament doesn't match the theme of this draft, and although the winner can't be sent to her, he can set up a special award for her to sign alone.

Manyumi Watanabe, who pays attention to the first feeling, has a deep impression of Izumi Inamura and thinks that she is very malleable. Especially her occasional unreliable temperament is the best embodiment of young people in this era.

Izumi Inamura caught Watanabe's attention because of that first feeling, but the idea that Watanabe Manyumi thinks that there is a possibility of cultivating her is not out of "feeling", but "confidence".

......

The two broke up here, and Watanabe Manyumi returned to the office to discuss the draft. SHINICHI IWAHASHI WENT TO POLYSTAR'S RECORDING STUDIO, AND AT 2 P.M., THERE WAS WINK'S FIRST RECORDING.

Compared to when he was making Chisato Moritaka, this time I took over WINK, although I was under a lot of pressure because I came up with a money-burning idea, but this time the workload was relatively small.

There is no need to drink with the fat young man and listen to him talk about what he has and does not have, and ask him to help write the lyrics, nor do you need to choose the right song in GENZO's music library.

Even so, it's not just that you can earn money by going to the recording studio to supervise a studio, and I didn't participate in the lyrics and songs, but I gave a general opinion on the choreography and costumes. Although it is mainly the responsibility of professionals, it is indispensable to personally check the gates at that time.

It wasn't until then that I remembered that I was a very good dancer.
