In this matter, Shinichi Iwahashi should give an explanation to Watanabe Manyumi.
In this situation, it is not convenient to continue talking about it. However, the sarcastic exchanges of words and the restraint in speaking but not being able to say something bring about a subtle atmosphere of "you have to speak out".
The next day after the party, Shinichi Iwahashi called Watanabe Manyumi and agreed to visit him later.
In the last days of the year, the entertainment industry is at full speed, not only busy with the various special programs in the form of parties, but also preparing for the following New Year's schedule. Whether it's Watanabe Mayumi or Iwahashi Shinichi, their schedules
The schedule is so densely packed, but seeing this, I still took a break from the busy schedule.
"Time is precious." When they met, Shinichi Iwahashi joked with her, "Fortunately, we are each other."
Watanabe Wan Yumi did not laugh, "Such a witticism is too blunt."
"It doesn't hurt to show your support...right?"
Watanabe Manyumi showed a smile that was obviously flattering at first glance, and returned the words Iwahashi Shinichi had said intact, reminding him, "Time is precious."
"As expected of Wan Yumi-san." Iwahashi Shinichi surrendered to her and stopped joking.
At the end of the year, he suddenly said that he wanted to have an interview, which made it clear that he wanted to talk about important things. Moreover, the night before, the two of them only talked half of what they said. Watanabe Wan Yumi had a premonition and guessed the topic he was going to talk about. However, Iwahashi Shinichi
He carefully considered his words, and when he spoke, he just told her, "I am very optimistic about Komuro-san. The target he is aiming for has a limitless future."
"So, the establishment of TRF has grasped the pulse of the times?" Watanabe Manyumi was not impatient and followed his words.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "... to be precise, I felt the pulse of the times in the idea proposed by Komuro-san. Wan Yumi-san, when the bubble burst, and suddenly had to face the panic of the public, they would fall into some kind of
In a delicate situation.”
"That is to say, on the one hand, one wants to gain a sense of security by conforming to the crowd, but on the other hand, one desires individuality."
Iwahashi Shinichi explained to Watanabe Manyumi, "If electronic dance music wants to become popular, its premise is that 'everyone follows the herd'. At that time, the person on the stage will become the one chosen by the public and own it."
A hero who has power as he pleases.”
Tetsuya Komuro's electronic dance music is almost mass-produced, coupled with singers who are full of personality on stage. This combination wants to assimilate the public into the same kind of music in an era when the public has lost the ability to pursue individuality, but is still hungry for individuality.
Man, how easy it is.
In fact, in the past few years, bands have been able to flourish and various styles have found their place. One reason is that in the golden age, the public has the ability to pursue individuality, but they have to follow the trend to ensure that they are not "left behind".
As a result, the band form as a whole became very popular, but upon closer inspection, bands of various styles all have their own loyal audiences.
To like bands is to follow the crowd, and to like bands with different styles is to pursue your own individuality.
According to Shinichi Iwahashi's judgment, this situation will next change to assimilating himself to the public through a certain form of music, and then by looking up to singers with unique personalities to satisfy the desire and yearning for individuality.
The electronic music that Tetsuya Komuro brought to him now seems to be the most suitable form of music.
If TRF can become popular and receive the level of popularity he expected, Shinichi Iwahashi will believe that Tetsuya Komuro can launch more celebrities one after another, and he will be sure that his judgment is correct.
On the other hand, if TRF fails miserably, or is only a minor splash, it means that his judgment is wrong, and this form is not accepted by the public. At that time, it becomes another matter.
The future of TRF will determine how Shinichi Iwahashi controls this group and how he can further cooperate with Tetsuya Komuro.
TRF is just the beginning, and at this moment, it has not even officially started.
"Komuro-san is not the kind of person who would rather be subordinate to others or just be a producer."
Iwahashi Shin kept talking to Watanabe Manyumi about his impression of this talented man. If he just asked Komuro Tetsuya to help make this TRF, there would be no need to consider these things.
However, since we believe that Tetsuya Komuro's electronic dance music is the pulse of the future trend, and we intend to produce music with him as the core, we cannot let him just be a "producer", let alone treat him as just a producer.
You need to make him feel like a collaborator and give him temptations that satisfy him. You need to make him feel satisfied with his power and at the same time gain immediate benefits. Tetsuya Komuro has the temperament of a businessman, so that he can be truly won over.
"So, if you ask me now how to arrange TRF, I can't give you an answer." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
It is precisely because of this consideration that the future of TRF and the future of cooperation with Tetsuya Komuro are uncertain. Therefore, Shinichi Iwahashi has gone against his usual approach and has kept all the contracts of the group in his own hands.
From this point of view, it is indeed the most trivial matter which firm the TRF contract is awarded to... Watanabe Wan Yumi heard this meaning from Iwahashi Shinichi's words.
But this did not satisfy her. On the contrary, she sensed a possibility from these words. If Iwahashi Shinichi did not intend to give TRF's contract to Kenyin, then it is very likely that it would be another one.
A deeper collaboration.
Now that we have already established a TV production company together...do we also want to collaborate in depth on music?
Watanabe Manyumi was not impressed by Iwahashi Shinichi's heartfelt words. She asked, "Then, on the other hand, when arranging TRF, what degree of cooperation will be involved? It is not clear now, is it
Is that so?"
"Yes." Iwahashi Shinichi admitted.
He was categorical and told her, "But no matter what, I promise that my interests and yours will not be harmed."
"you promise."
Watanabe Manyumi's tone was more like repeating, recalling his words. She suddenly smiled and wanted to say that even if he didn't guarantee it, she was sure of it. But it was not so much the trust between the two parties as
, is a confirmation of the deep involvement of the interests of both parties today.
As soon as Iwahashi Shin heard that she didn't want a "guarantee" from him, he didn't say anything.
He didn't speak, but Watanabe Manyumi suddenly spoke, "Shinichi-kun's speaking skills are first-class."
Iwahashi Shin was half-joking and asked her, "Just now, what did I say that made Wanyumi-san suddenly come back to his senses and realize that it was a rhetorical thing?"
But this time, Watanabe Manyumi remained silent and did not answer his words.
