You can't hide things in the entertainment industry, let alone things that you don't intend to hide deliberately.
Every move of a big star is watched by countless paparazzi. And Shinichi Iwahashi, the man in black behind the scenes who frequently appears, has naturally become the target of attention.
The rules of the industry are like this. When a man in black adheres to the principle of not appearing on the stage, the media and magazines have a tacit agreement and stop there. But as long as he steps onto the stage, it is natural that he will receive more attention than before.
Not long after Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina moved to their new home, they once again became the focus of the magazine's current issue, and the magazine's publication notice was posted in bold letters
"Nakamori Akina and Iwahashi Shinichi started living together! Are they living together on the precondition of getting married...?"
The photo of two people entering and exiting the same apartment was from "Female VEN". Since Iwahashi Shinichi started dating Nakamori Akina, a popular star, he has embarked on the road of appearing in major well-known weekly magazines, and he also experienced it personally. The style of each weekly magazine.
"Weekly Bunshun" has a big format, and even if it doesn't capture scandals, it still has to use the topic to make some sense. "F-Day" has high photography skills, and all kinds of high-definition beautiful photos look like staged photos, which is worthy of its classification as a "photo weekly magazine".
As for magazines like "Weekly Women" and "Female VEN", which specialize in tracking popular figures and satisfying ladies' gossiping desires, although they don't have much in the way of digging for news, they must have gathered the most outrageous and sensational writers in the industry. Regardless of whether there are pictures or no facts, the essay must be brilliantly written and full of details.
This time is no exception.
"Female VEN" seized the opportunity and was the first to sniff out the information that the two people were living together. They successfully set up a spot and took photos of the young couple entering and exiting the same apartment one after another, and quickly put up a preview of the big news.
A women's weekly for ladies to kill time, it has always paid little attention to the authenticity of the events reported. One after another, there are short essays about popular on-screen couples. Maybe the actors have not seen each other since they finished filming, but But it is possible to fall in love thirty times due to drama in a short essay in a women's weekly.
Even if a celebrity is photographed, there is a half chance that the magazine will just look at the picture and tell the story, without even asking for verification, and will directly arrange to publish the article.
Anyway, unless it is a scandal of scribbling, the firm will probably not pay attention to it even if it is a graffiti scandal. At most, they will negotiate sternly with it.
So, it wasn't until the current issue of "Female Color VEN" was released that the two of them knew that they wanted to appear in the weekly again. Unfortunately, there was no appearance fee and they could only be consumed.
The writer of "Female Color VEN" not only wrote brilliantly, but also compiled immersive descriptions of the two travel photos. He also got a contact person ABCD from nowhere to testify that the two planned to get married.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori have been photographed together since they started dating publicly. They are dating smoothly, and everyone probably doesn’t know about it. It is expected that they are photographed living together at this moment. thing.
Big stars and famous producers, talented men and beautiful women, also have a strong appetite for ladies who spend their time reading gossip magazines.
Iwahashi Shinichi's previous deeds have gained a lot of popularity among the ladies. But after all, he is a man in black behind the scenes. The ladies like him and they will definitely not chase him as a star. In the eyes of the ladies, In my eyes, Iwahashi-kun, who is young, promising and full of masculinity, would be a perfect match for him to marry a famous star with excellent reputation like Akina Nakamori.
For the general public, if the news about these two people can still shock them, then there are only three possibilities: marriage, breakup, or one of them cheating.
As for fans of Akina Nakamori, most of them have mixed feelings. On the one hand, they are very clear about her dream of being a good wife and mother, and are ready to wish her that her dream will come true and marry this good man.
Since Nakamori Akina's relationship with Shinichi Iwahashi became public, fans have seen her looking like a spring breeze all day long. During interviews, she also looked confident and cheerful. They also knew that her relationship was going well and that the big producer was not a bad person.
But on the other hand, I also began to regret that if Nakamori Akina gets married and retires, she will never see her new works again.
The general public thinks that these two are a perfect match. Fans of Akina Nakamori are half happy and half worried. However, the industry's considerations are particularly simple. They only care about the two people's movements and find out whether they really have plans to get married.
After all, if Akina Nakamori gets married, then whether she quits or withdraws temporarily, the market and opportunities left by her departure must be filled by new people.
For the industry, they are probably happy to see this big star getting married quickly to make way for her.
…
However, Shinichi Iwahashi, who had just moved in with Akina Nakamori, was busy with his audition and participating in V3's album promotion, but he also had time to plan on bridging the cooperation between Akina Nakamori and V3.
Tetsuya Komuro, Jiashu Hayashi, and Toshihiko Takamizawa, it was already very difficult for these three people to come together. If they could hire these three people, they could also convince Akina Nakamori to plan for these four people to form a limited band to collaborate.
Once, now, it is probably something that only Iwahashi Shinichi can do. After all, he is the only one who has both the will and the strength.
Akina Nakamori has always been very interested in new challenges.
Not only that, this time's cooperation is no longer like the previous two times. Iwahashi Shinichi was almost ready and then sent an invitation through the office so that she could learn the news through the office. Instead, he was following Iwahashi.
When Shinichi Hashi went to a party together, he was introduced to these three people by Shinichi Iwahashi. They all sat together chatting, drinking, and exchanging music. This was how they came up.
Iwahashi Shinichi has been dealing with V3 a lot these days. Now that he had such a plan, he simply took action. Once the cooperation was in sight, he would go and talk to the record company and the agency.
On the Kenyin side, I was looking for a house for Nakamori Akina and Iwahashi Shinichi to live together. After running around, I guessed that these two people were planning to get married, and secretly made a plan to discuss it with Iwahashi Shinichi if they got married.
What conditions.
But Shinichi Iwahashi is actively promoting the cooperation between Akina Nakamori and V3, which makes Kenyin confused and unable to guess what the big producer is thinking.
If he wanted to marry Nakamori Akina, he shouldn't be so enthusiastic about her work.
Could it be that this big producer is actually the kind of workaholic artist who regards Akina Nakamori as a star on the stage and only wants her to shine, without any intention of marrying her?
It was impossible to guess what Shinichi Iwahashi was thinking, which made it impossible for Kenyin to determine when there would be a chance to negotiate terms with him.
The office cannot raise the topic first and ask for accurate information from Iwahashi Shinichi. Kenyin is prepared to strike later. At this time, it cannot act rashly and destroy the previous considerations. But in this way, it is also
Unknowingly, we were put into a passive position and could only wait for Shin Iwahashi to hit the first ball.
This time, Shinichi Iwahashi invited Akina Nakamori to the party, introduced her to her friends, and chatted with three people from V3 about cooperation with her. Such full participation made her enthusiastic about this cooperation.
Full of expectations. This is not only because of the expectation of cooperation itself, but also because this time she was not excluded by Shinichi Iwahashi.
This sense of participation in being invited into his world by Shinichi Iwahashi made Akina Nakamori feel both nervous and at ease.
As soon as Taopusida spoke, Kenyin and Warner had to circle around her. If she wanted to cooperate, her team would have to deal with Shinichi Iwahashi and other companies on her behalf, trying to find ways to implement the plan they had agreed upon privately.
come true.
V3 is originally a collaboration between two record companies and three labels, and with Akina Nakamori, a new record company and an agency getting involved, the new project is about to enter the negotiation stage, which really poses a problem for the agency.
... Ever since I got involved with Shinichi Iwahashi, such troublesome arrangements have been arranged one after another.
Nakamori Akina herself, who dropped the news to her agency, went all out and devoted herself to her tour plan for the second half of the year.
In late October, the first stop of the tour was held in Nagoya. After that, she will perform 22 consecutive performances in 12 cities. From now to the end of the year, she will travel between major cities.
…
Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori had just started living together, and immediately started living apart again. Only Kenta, the puppy, no longer had to move between the two people's homes this time, becoming the biggest beneficiary of living together.
His girlfriend is busy with her national tour, and Shinichi Iwahashi has been attending at least two parties every night these days. When he returns home, only Inuko comes to the entrance to greet him warmly, and it seems that he has suddenly returned to the situation of returning to his own home at night before living together.
However, when he opened the refrigerator, he saw the neat ingredients inside, as well as the food that Akina Nakamori had prepared for him in advance and put in crisper boxes, sitting in the living room, or entering the bathroom and bedroom, in the corners of this apartment.
Every detail made Iwahashi Shinichi extremely certain that he had entered a brand new life.
He went to put in the water and take a bath, and the clerk who sent him back first acted as a sentimental driver, and then took Kenta out for a walk for Shinichi Iwahashi. When the clerk brought the puppy back and wiped it clean in the entrance, Shinichi Iwahashi had also finished taking a bath.
bath.
The clerk got his permission, bowed and left his house. Shinichi Iwahashi was not sleepy, so he went into the study again and looked through the information about this selection meeting that he had brought home.
The selection meeting was held on Saturday and Sunday last week.
For this audition, GENZO received more than 20,000 application letters. Among the auditions held by various record companies and offices every year, the scale is quite large.
More than 20,000 application letters were first rough-selected by dedicated personnel from the record company, and then subjected to more detailed screening. In the end, about 2,500 people were qualified for interviews. These 2,500 people were scattered across the country.
Therefore, we will first set up interview points in several big cities and conduct a regional interview, and then the real interview will begin.
After rounds of screening, about 300 people were finally qualified to come to Tokyo for interviews.
Selection meetings are something that practitioners in the industry are very familiar with. Iwahashi Shinichi, the person who suggested holding selection meetings, may still be an "amateur".
But no matter what, if there are agreed-upon rules of the game, then everything will be much simpler.
About three hundred candidates who entered the interview completed the initial review in two days last week, and the number of people qualified to participate in the final review meeting was set at seventy-two.
GENZO will pay for the interview in Beijing, transportation, board and lodging. Not only that, even if you are unsuccessful, you will also be given a souvenir. In this way, the enthusiasm of the candidates is high enough, and the evaluation of the record company is high enough.
I don’t know how many auditions will be held in the future, but it is more important than ever to leave a good reputation.
The final review meeting is one week apart from the interview, and the final review meeting will be held this Saturday.
In this short week, Shinichi Iwahashi will lead the people at the record company to discuss and exchange opinions on these "future stars", and also exchange opinions with the reviewers. Within this week, almost
I'm running for the same thing every day.
Long nights and many dreams.
Large-scale selection meetings often attract the attention of the industry, and I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are looking here. At this time, outside the venue where the selection meeting is held, there are actually not only candidates who come to apply, but also people who come to interview.
Horse lovers.
Most of the talent scouts from other agencies will be observing the people who come to apply for the job.
After all, even in the preliminary meeting, these 300 people were selected from more than 20,000 applicants, and they already stood out from ordinary people.
Selecting people outside the venue of the selection meeting is to borrow the light of other companies and save a selection process.
Even candidates who are eliminated by GENZO may not catch the eyes of other talent scouts.
Different selection meetings have different themes and goals. And each firm has different requirements and preferences for newcomers. For example, if you want to select a pure newcomer, you may get rid of a charming one.
Potential players should be picked up by talent scouts outside the venue.
Naturally, the next destination of the eliminated candidates has nothing to do with GENZO.
However, newcomers who have already entered the final selection committee may not be affected by other firms. Although it is taboo in the industry to extend your hands to other companies' selection committees, there are forces in the industry that do not care about this taboo.
If the time between the interview and the final review meeting is too long, some candidates may not attend the final review meeting for one reason or another.
If the finalists of the audition are really poached, even if the company still has an impression of the newcomer when he debuts, there is nothing you can do. At most, you can only say hello to the TV station, and our company will perform with the other party's artist.
.However, it is not worth it to antagonize a firm for a newcomer with an unknown future.
In this case, we can only seize the time and work overtime.
Iwahashi Shinichi flipped through the information of the finalists one by one, recalling the thoughts and opinions he heard from the reviewers in his mind, and mentally checked with the people on the shortlist.
