Passing the steps that Shimada Sensuke sent him up, since Iwahashi Shinichi was willing to take this step up, Shufang Ikuo knew in his heart that at this moment, what the two sides were thinking was not much different.
They are all smart people.
Because of this, the atmosphere of this first meeting was harmonious. Ikuo Shufang showed the generosity of a senior in the industry, and Shinichi Iwahashi also fully supported his performance. Gon regarded himself as a junior who is open-minded and can be taught. In addition, Shimada was in charge of pulling the strings.
Sensuke lived among them, and this talented comedian acted as the master of ceremonies, which added to the atmosphere of the dinner.
Of course, no matter what kind of performance, it is always a warm-up before the main topic begins.
After three rounds of drinking, Shubo Ikuo brought the topic to Shimada Sensuke and asked about the progress of his cooperation with Iwahashi Shinichi. Shimada Sensuke was so excited that he told Shubo Ikuo all about his plans.
Iwahashi Shinichi listened to Shimada Sensuke talking to Shubo Ikuo about the production plan that the two had discussed together, and he was mentally prepared, waiting for the ball to be thrown into his hand.
As he expected, Shufang Ikuo turned to Shinichi Iwahashi and praised him: "Iwahashi-kun's ideas about music production and his sense of music itself are first-rate."
"Being able to capture the pulse of popular trends alone makes him a first-rate person." Ikuo Shufang smiled, "No wonder he can easily pick him up, whether it's an idol, a band, or a solo singer."
Iwahashi Shinichi bowed and accepted the compliment. He was thinking that the real business was about to begin.
No matter what happened between Shinichi Iwahashi and Ikuo Shufou before, and what their respective goals are now, the next step has been clearly determined, and the consensus reached is "cooperation."
Of course, things that did not happen on the table can be treated as if they have never happened in the future, and there is no need to explain anything to the outside world. However, Iwahashi Shinichi knows everything about the internal affairs, and Shufang Ikuo will never dare to treat him as a fool.
Therefore, in order to temporarily reconcile and start cooperation, this matter must be started by Ikuo Shubo. Let’s use the cooperation between Shimada Sensuke and Iwahashi Shinichi as an introduction. What we want to talk about after that is BURNING and Iwahashi Shinichi.
cooperate.
Following his praise for Shinichi Iwahashi, Ikuo Suho mentioned a name and said, "Speaking of which, we also have a singer who is rising to prominence thanks to Iwahashi-kun's promotion."
What he is talking about is enka singer Fuji Ayako. After Fuji Ayako made her debut by participating in Iwahashi Shinichi's project, she followed the route established by Iwahashi Shinichi and Sakai Masatoshi after discussing it, and cooperated with Wave LAN in the project to establish her reputation in the public's mind.
Her character, her debut this time has really made her full of life.
Shinichi Iwahashi echoed, "At that time, thanks to the support of Shu Fang-san, Ayako-san joined my willful project." He opened his eyes and told lies. At first, Ayako Fuji was entrusted by Sony's Sakai Masatoshi, and BURNING had no involvement at all.
.
Ikuo Shufang smiled, "A willful plan... It would be a good thing if I could collaborate with Iwahashi-kun on another project like that."
A new division of LLION Records was established, and Baba Shunichi was assigned to develop the SOLO market. At that time, he would not only sign exclusive contracts with new producers, but also actively seek cooperation with freelance producers.
But Shinichi Iwahashi is not a freelance producer. He is the head of a record company. It is impossible for him to abandon the singers of his company and produce new singers for other record companies.
Unless BURNING's newcomers and albums are arranged to be placed in GENZO. However, at the moment when we are temporarily shaking hands and making peace, it is not appropriate to be so deeply involved with Shinichi Iwahashi. Besides, Shufang Ikuo's plan is to use the power of Shinichi Iwahashi to increase VER
I am obsessed with the strength of LLION Records, instead of sending potential newcomers to GENZO to add more troops to Shinichi Iwahashi.
Since this industry hegemon has swallowed up Daiyuki Nagato's BEING and formed VER fans LLION Records, the idea is to let this company occupy a place in the industry.
He reconciled with Shinichi Iwahashi, but it is impossible for him to change his long-standing strategy. If he just wants to hold the management contracts of a few popular singers, then he does not need to go out of his way to pursue GENZO and BEING, and succeed.
BEING was annexed.
In order to realize his strategy of strengthening LLION Records among VER fans, the goal of this cooperation is to have a plan like the previous cooperation between Ayako Fuji and Bo LAN, to cooperate with singers under GENZO, and singers from LLION Records who are VER fans.
Participated, and Shinichi Iwahashi served as the chief producer.
The so-called "win-win cooperation".
Shinichi Iwahashi probably knew what Ikuo Subo had planned. He didn't think that this kind of cooperation would be disadvantageous, even if Ikuo Subo sent an unknown person to borrow the fame of GENZO's already famous singer.
To be precise, since this cooperation is a sign of reconciliation, Ikuo Shufu will not be too stingy in the distribution of benefits. Therefore, Shinichi Iwahashi is not worried.
After all, although it has not been put on the table, all parties in the industry who are paying attention to this matter probably know who was behind last year's Wenchun incident. When most of the industry knows that BURNING has targeted GENZO, once both parties
The announcement of cooperation is big news that attracts everyone's attention.
Iwahashi Shinichi is not only himself, but the forces behind him are also complicated. BURNING's cooperation with GENZO is also a temporary statement to the forces that are paying attention to GENZO and Iwahashi Shinichi.
In addition, what Shinichi Iwahashi wants to get from this cooperation is far more than just "profits".
…
Since this is cooperation during the reconciliation period, everything should be simpler.
However, it is true that the signal of reconciliation must be released by Ikuo Suho, but Shinichi Iwahashi still has a card that he has prepared long ago to play.
"Speaking of cooperation, actually, I have something here and I want to get Zhou Fangsang's help."
Iwahashi Shinichi opened his mouth and mentioned the name of Daikoku Maki.
Ikuo Shufang smiled, "In my opinion, the debut of Daikoku Moki is perfect. Especially the debut strategy surrounding her."
It was precisely because of the great success of Daikoku Maki's debut that GENZO no longer relied on the band alone, and Iwahashi Shinichi showed his determination and endless talents, that Ikuo Suho decided to join the band.
This side of him.
Shinichi Iwahashi accepted Ikuo Subo's compliment and continued speaking slowly, "The matter I want to ask Ikuo Subo for help is related to Daikoku Moki."
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Fang Yuxiong's eyes, and his expression remained unchanged, "Is there anything I can do to help this big black guy?"
"Yes."
Iwahashi Shinichi said slowly, "Before Daikoku's debut, he met Oda Tetsuro-san, who was a fan of LLION Records, and had musical exchanges."
Ikuo Suho raised his eyebrows. Of course he knew that before Daikoku Moki made his debut, he went to BEING for an interview.
The conversation started when Shinichi Iwahashi told Ikuo Suho about the song Oda Tetsuro gave to Daikoku Maki.
He said: "Normally, I hope that Dahei, as a singer-songwriter, will only sing his own songs. However, the agreement between musicians is very precious. Rather than abiding by the rule of 'only singing his own songs', retaining such a
Human touch is also a very precious thing for singer-songwriters."
Ikuo Shubo nodded, "There is such a thing." He looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, waiting for him to finish the rest of his words.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and continued, "Of course, even if we let go of the rule of 'only singing my own songs', if I want Daikoku to sing a song composed by Oda-san, I still need the consent of LLION Records, a VER fan.
.”
To be precise, that song was given to Daikoku Moki by Tetsuro Oda. It has never been in BEING's music library, and it does not belong to the VER fans LLION record. But since Oda Tetsuro's contract is still signed with VER fans LLION, and
If I'm not a free agent, I can't go over to LLION, a VER fan, and release the music directly.
If he really did that, he would be at odds with LLION Records, a VER fan, because he couldn't bear it morally, or he would be accused of legal problems and face a lawsuit that would be disgusting even if there was no loss.
Shinichi Iwahashi would not take that risk.
Of course, he also knew in his heart that VER's fan of LLION Records, Nagato Daiyuki, had a very bad relationship with him. If he had to come forward to discuss cooperation with the Nagato president, he would probably not be happy.
Therefore, it is one thing to promise Daikuro Maki and then let her release the song that Oda Tetsuro gave her, but it is another thing to find the right opportunity to fulfill the promise to her.
However, to fulfill a promise, when Daikuro Moki told him that there was such a song, Iwahashi Shinichi had another important point in mind. That is, how to make the song play its full potential.
of utility.
And now is the time.
He told Ikuo Sufang about the origins of the song and the difficulties of wanting to release it but being unable to see it released due to various problems. After the explanation, he smiled and said, "VER fan LLION Records, to which Oda-san belongs,
, it is under the protection of President Zhou Fang. Because of this, when Zhou Fang-san mentioned cooperation just now, it reminded me of that song."
If he had wanted Daikuro Maki to sing Oda Tetsuro's song, in other words, he would have wanted to collaborate with the BURNING department.
As Ikuo Shuukou digested Iwahashi Shinichi's words, he thought to himself that this young producer might not be expressing that he was not against the BURNING system.
…
Now, of course, is not the time to go against BURNING.
Let Ikuo Shubo come forward and lend his hand to facilitate the release of the song that Oda Tetsuro gave to her by Daikoku Maki. This is what Iwahashi Shinichi prepared when he thought that Ikuo Shubo might ask him to cooperate.
Good card.
Shinichi Iwahashi's plan was that if Ikuo Suho wanted him to produce a new artist, his exchange would be to let Daikuro Maki release that song. If Ikuo Suho wanted to collaborate, then work together on that song.
Since Shufang Ikuo hopes to have another "Fuji Ayako and Namami LAN"-style collaboration, he might as well use this song that Oda Tetsuro gave to Daikoku Maki. Let Daikoku Maki collaborate with the singer of VER fan LLION record on this song
.
Even if this song is not suitable and this song cannot be sung in this collaboration, I hope that in the future, Ikuo Shuukou will be the one to fulfill Daikoku Maki's wish and make this song that symbolizes the friendship between Daikoku Maki and Oda Tetsuro
Songs can be made public to the world.
The point is: that song must be released.
Now that we have started talking about cooperation, it is only reasonable for Ikuo Su to help pull the strings and get LLION Records, a VER fan, to nod so that the song can be released smoothly no matter what form it is in. It can't be done.
They only talk about cooperation, but they only get in and out. To cooperate, we need to help each other.
Even President Nagato can't stand in the way of the overall situation, right?
Nagato Daiyuki once tried his best to disparage Daikuro Maki, and the relationship with Shinichi Iwahashi was not very happy. In addition, Iwahashi Shinichi heard Daikuro Maki talk about the recent relationship between Oda Tetsuro and Nagato Daiyuki.
The relationship is a bit subtle.
With Nagato Daiyuki's personality, if Oda Tetsuro bypassed him and sent a song to Daikoku Maki, whom he despised, that song would have Shinichi Iwahashi as the chief producer, and there would also be a singer from LLION Records who is a VER fan.
What will happen if you participate?
Even if we take ten thousand steps back, this song cannot be released no matter what.
So, how Oda Tetsuro would view these numerous obstacles and the fact that his small wish cannot be satisfied is another matter.
Iwahashi Shinichi actually has no intention of becoming an enemy of Nagato Daiyuki, let alone targeting him. But since his goal is to compete with BURNING in the future and challenge Shubo Ikuo's dominance, then appropriate means must be used.
use.
What's more, he was upright. He told Ikuo Suho about Oda Tetsuro's intention to send a song to Daikoku Moki, and told Ikuo Suho about the cooperation plan. The initiative was never in his hands, but waiting.
Zhou Fangyuxiong made the final decision.
As for how Ikuo Suho makes decisions, how can he, Shinichi Iwahashi, influence the thoughts of this industry overlord?
Zhou Fangyuxiong thought about it for a while and replied: "I have kept in mind what Mr. Iwaqiao said."
Iwahashi Shinichi was not in a hurry and bowed, "Thank you, President Shu Fang."
Shimada Sensuke watched the words and knew that the discussion about cooperation here had come to an end. On the one hand, he was surprised that Shinichi Iwahashi and Ikuo Subo discussed cooperation when they first met. On the other hand, he felt that Shinichi Iwahashi and Ikuo Subo were discussing cooperation.
Cooperation is the best thing to join forces.
He inadvertently took on the role of a witness, even though he didn't know whether the cooperation would work. However, since the negotiation came to an end, he spoke at the right time to liven up the atmosphere, "So..."
"I couldn't help but ask about that girl just now," Shimada Shinsuke looked at Shinichi Iwahashi and joked, "Isn't she really the code name for a project you made?"
In fact, there is no such person as Dai Hei Mo Ji in the world. The newcomer that the audience saw was played by four girls named "Da Da Da", "Hei Hei", "Mo Mo" and "Ji Ji".
It's called SOLO, but it's actually BAND.
...that's weird.
Iwahashi Shinichi knew in his heart that Shimada Sensuke was joking, so he simply replied, "I'll tell you if this is true next time I invite Sensuke-san to the recording studio as a guest."
Shimada Shinsuke laughed loudly, "If it's just a guest, I won't go. Since I want to enter the recording studio, I have to start making music."
He deliberately wanted to be a witness to this cooperation, so he smiled and talked to Ikuo Sufang, "I think so, I look like a producer, right? Brother Sufang."
Ikuxiong Zhou Fang picked up the wine glass and said, "Then let's drink to this producer."
This industry overlord surprisingly has a sense of humor.
