At least for now, Masaharu Fukuyama has shown limited creative talent. Of course, although he has not written any great works, he is still qualified to be a singer-songwriter regardless of whether he is a bestseller or not.
Perhaps this young man's creative talent has not yet matured, and one day he will be favored by the god of inspiration. But before that seemingly distant and illusory period of mature inspiration arrives, Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't really expect him to become popular with his music.
Over at AMU, looking at the singer's debut specifications they prepared for Masaharu Fukuyama, although they are not perfunctory, they obviously do not regard him as some kind of music wizard. To put it bluntly, if he really showed his superhuman creative talent, he would be
I won't start my career as an actor first, and then wait until my career as an actor has slowed down before I have the opportunity to release a record.
Similarly, because we know that he is not a prodigy in the music industry, AMU is not disappointed with the results of Fukuyama Masaharu's debut single.
Despite this, AMU's expectations for Fukuyama Masaharu are definitely not that he will be satisfied as long as he can sell 50,000 records. His previous career as an actor was not going well, so sending him to debut as a singer may not be a coincidence.
The idea of luck. If the road of acting and singing is not improving, then try the road of singing and singing again...
Although this debut result obviously has nothing to do with being "popular".
Fortunately, this sales volume was able to recoup the cost, and even make a little profit. In contrast, Masaharu Fukuyama has not even recovered the investment capital so far in his acting career. The staff of the agency joked that he is a "resource black hole"
”.
The sales and response of this debut single were mediocre. As a singer-songwriter, there is nothing worthy of special attention. However, regardless of the results, the next work is being prepared on time.
Taking into account the cost and to facilitate trial and error, Shinichi Iwahashi is not going to let Masaharu Fukuyama release a formal album. However, it does not make much sense to release another single. The next work finally decided is a mini album.
The album only contains four songs.
Through the effect of radio promotion a while ago, Shinichi Iwahashi was able to determine that singing songs on the radio was quite effective for Fukuyama Masaharu. Knowing this will be very useful in adjusting the publicity strategy for the release of new works in the future.
In addition, since your creative talent is limited and you cannot win through music alone, you need to consider other methods.
Whether it's a topic, popularity, or a lucky chance to be widely sung, it may lead to high sales. Among the singles that have sold well, there are many that make people feel strange, and they don't know why they can sell.
He has released so many songs. However, if he is too clever, he will face the possibility of becoming a one-stop shop.
In addition, while considering the method, we must also take into account AMU Color’s plan for Fukuyama Masaharu. The agency obviously believes that Fukuyama Masaharu’s conditions as an actor are better, and Fukuyama Masaharu himself does not reject acting. Because of this,
No matter what the plan is, it must be ensured that his career as an actor is not affected and his image as an actor is not damaged.
If anything, Iwahashi Shinichi thought to himself that the best way not to damage the actor's image was to seriously manage his acting career.
…
Shinichi Iwahashi waited until today's shooting was over and the atmosphere on the set had relaxed, before he went to say hello to the production team and say a few polite words for his uninvited appearance.
Nowadays, no one knows that he is Akina Nakamori's boyfriend. The people on the set knew exactly why he came here, and they all responded politely.
When Iwahashi Shinichi was greeting him politely, Nakamori Akina was not far away from him, listening. She had to maintain her professionalism and reserve in front of others, and avoid showing any differences with Iwahashi Shinichi in front of the crew.
She is intimate, but at the same time she cares about other people's attitude towards Iwahashi Shinichi, and can't help but stay behind him like a worried wife.
Nakamori Akina accompanied Iwahashi Shinichi to say hello in this way, and then she remembered her own affairs and was about to take off her makeup and change clothes. Before she moved, she only gave her a look. Iwahashi Shinichi understood the idea and followed her silently. So
After walking two steps in tandem, Nakamori Akina felt awkward and stopped, waiting for him.
"What's wrong?" Shinichi Iwahashi was curious.
Nakamori Akina said to him, "...you walk a little faster."
Iwahashi Shinichi said "huh?" and couldn't guess why she said that. However, looking at Nakamori Akina's appearance, she definitely wouldn't tell him the answer.
"Walk slower so that I can follow you." Shinichi Iwahashi reminded her.
Akina Nakamori muttered, "That's how strange it is." After she finished speaking, she looked at Shinichi Iwahashi's face as if nothing had happened, and suddenly commented seriously: "Shinichi, you are really a foreigner, right?"
"What?" Now, Shinichi Iwahashi was filled with questions.
He couldn't understand the situation, couldn't understand what Akina Nakamori cared about, and this look made her laugh. Akina Nakamori reached out her hand, tugged on his sleeve, took a small step back, and Iwahashi
Shinichi stood side by side.
"Let's go, let's go~"
She smiled and patted Shinichi Iwahashi on the shoulder. Compared to the situation where the man followed the woman silently, the two of them walked side by side, talking and laughing, which did not make people feel weird. Although if you want to say it is conspicuous, this look is
The way he talks and laughs is quite conspicuous.
In fact, if Iwahashi Shinichi hadn't come to visit the crew to pick up someone, Nakamori Akina wouldn't have been so concerned about the walking order.
As soon as Iwahashi Shin came to pick them up, Ben and his assistant felt relaxed.
When Akina Nakamori took off her makeup and changed clothes, the two of them said goodbye to Omoto and took the first step. The two walked away, shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing. The assistant saw this and couldn't help but sigh.
The relationship is really good.
After the little assistant read the assistant manual thoroughly, he just thought this in his heart. On the other hand, Ben on the side shrank his lips and commented: "Iwahashi-san is really informal."
The assistant was a little confused and looked at Ben.
The old manager recalled how Iwahashi Shinichi was like a little follower at the end of the filming, following Akina Nakamori in a leisurely manner, and then looked at the two people leaving talking and laughing. Even though they were there not long ago,
I complained about the romantic talent in my heart, but I had to admit that he and Akina Nakamori had a very good relationship.
In addition, anyone can see the respect that the romantic talented man has for Nakamori Akina.
…
The indoor scenes of "Lovely Season" were all filmed in the Akasaka Media Building. There are eight TV studios in the Akasaka Media Building and its annexed buildings, and there is an endless stream of big-name stars and supporting actors every day.
, it’s not surprising to meet anyone here.
Even so, when Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina act together, it is still somewhat eye-catching. One of the reasons for this is that the two people are in a relationship, especially Iwahashi Shinichi, the man behind the scenes who rarely appears.
Conspicuousness is the second one.
For a big star like Akina Nakamori, entering and exiting the studio is like entering and exiting her own living room. But when Shin Iwahashi appears here, it feels like a guest.
When two people move together, it's probably like a daughter taking her boyfriend in and out of her living room. It's strange that they are inconspicuous.
"How is it?" As soon as she got into the car, Akina Nakamori couldn't help but ask him. She repeated her old talk, "Have you seen me making a fool of myself?"
Iwahashi Shinichi answered her, "I was shocked."
"Eh?" Nakamori Akina subconsciously looked at his face, "Did I scare you by speaking suddenly?"
Iwahashi Shinichi teased her, "It's almost the same."
Akina Nakamori looked a little embarrassed, but couldn't help but ask him, "So, what was Shinichi thinking about just now?"
"I was thinking," Shinichi Iwahashi suppressed a laugh, "I was shocked when I saw you acting."
Nakamori Akina subconsciously answered, "What's so scary..." After realizing it, she finally came to her senses and asked this guy to tease her, and couldn't help but stare.
At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't bear it any longer. Looking at her appearance, he laughed. When he smiled, Akina Nakamori pouted, feeling unhappy and said to him, "Anyway, when you want to tease me, I will
There is nothing we can do."
"I'm an idiot." When she was angry, she only talked bad things about herself. As she said this, she glanced at Shinichi Iwahashi's smiling face and muttered, "You're still smiling."
This look is absolutely childish.
Iwahashi Shinichi stretched out his hand and touched her finger. Nakamori Akina's finger was indifferent and she just let him hold it. Iwahashi Shinichi said, "I was really scared by the way you acted."
He looked at Nakamori Akina's unmoved face and said slowly, "I was thinking, who is this person? He doesn't look like Akina."
Nakamori Akina seemed to be angry at him and laughed, "How can it be so exaggerated?"
"It's true." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "When your scene was over and I saw you talking to everyone on the crew, this feeling disappeared." He himself also smiled, "That said, it seems a bit
mysterious."
"It's good to know." Akina Nakamori seemed to be complaining about him.
Iwahashi Shinichi felt a little regretful, "If I had known earlier, I would have been more direct and praised you for your participation in the drama."
"Now that I say it, it sounds like a temporary remedy." Nakamori Akina pretended. As long as the paper tiger has the upper hand, it can't help but spread its teeth and claws.
Iwahashi Shinichi glanced at her pretending to be arrogant, thought about it, and discussed with her, "Otherwise..."
Akina Nakamori said "Huh?" "What?"
Iwahashi Shinichi said seriously, "Can I kiss you now?"
This is a secret code that only the two of them know... But! Nakamori Akina glared at him and reminded him, "This is the parking lot of a TV station."
Kissing here, if you are lucky, maybe in the next two weeks, you will be able to see high-definition photos of KISS in the car in a weekly magazine.
Iwahashi Shinichi saw her reaction in his eyes and said, "However, I can't think of any other way to change Akina-san's opinion."
However, the paper tiger was fooled once and learned to be smart. He glanced at him and said, "You said that on purpose, right?"
"I want you to know that I am complimenting you...this is true." Iwahashi Shinichi followed suit this time.
However, Nakamori Akina's words made him laugh. She smiled happily, and Iwahashi Shinichi was a little confused. This time, it was Nakamori Akina's turn to appreciate his somewhat depressed expression.
Her indifferent fingers finally warmed up, and she held Iwahashi Shinichi's hand and said with a smile: "I know." At this moment, her satisfied expression seemed to reveal the answer to a riddle.
As a result, he was actually teased in reverse.
Shinichi Iwahashi reacted and asked her, "Where did it start?" There was always a feeling that when he deliberately teased Nakamori Akina just now, Nakamori Akina herself knew it.
"What? I don't know." Nakamori Akina giggled and pretended to be stupid with him. She urged, "Aren't we going to go bowling together? If you don't start the car, maybe someone from nearby will come over to investigate the situation!"
Akina Nakamori's tone sounded like she was making up lies to fool a child. But on the other hand, it was also the elation of a winner after her great victory.
Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't do anything to her. However, he was the one who had the evil intentions first. Even if he was led by the nose and made fun of her in turn, he was still causing trouble for himself.
He agreed, fulfilled his duties as a driver, and started the car.
…
Akina Nakamori is in a very good mood.
Part of this good mood comes from playing a trick on Shinichi Iwahashi just now, which is hard to say. However, in the past, Shinichi Iwahashi was always leading the way, but now he can tease him in turn.
Suddenly, this incident made her very happy.
Although it seems childish to be overjoyed over the success of a prank. But because the target was Shinichi Iwahashi, it gave her a sense of accomplishment that she had accomplished something big.
She herself couldn't quite explain why she was so petty.
Iwahashi Shinichi occasionally cast a quick glance at her, and seeing the undisguised joy on her face, he also felt at ease. He said casually, "She looked extremely happy."
Akina Nakamori smiled, "It's only fun for newbies, isn't it?"
From the perspective of novices pecking each other, the confrontation between novices is quite interesting. Shinji Iwahashi couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
"Today's shooting with Yasuda-san was not the same." Speaking of bowling, Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned. He made a joke of his own, "Although I have never met Yasuda-san, I am quite familiar with her lines.
"
When he was at home, he acted with Akina Nakamori. Although his acting skills were only 11%, it made him very familiar with the other heroine in "Lovely Season".
Mentioning this, Nakamori Akina laughed. She said, "Shinichi has a very good memory." He has a very good memory. He holds the script in his hand and turns it over several times, and he clearly remembers the lines. But...
"However, my acting skills are not very good." Shinichi Iwahashi said about himself.
