Also following a big shot in the entertainment industry, the probability of meeting her on such an occasion is quite high. When they met again, Shinichi Iwahashi greeted her, "What a coincidence, Sakamoto-san."
Sakamoto Fuyumi pressed her knees and saluted again, "Thanks to Iwahashi-san for helping me last time."
This time, there were not only the two of them in the lounge, but also the live-in driver of the lyricist Ajiuyu, and the disciple and driver of the composer Tsuyoshi Miki.
I gathered enough four to play sparrows. Although there were no sparrows to shoot, I got a deck of playing cards and played together to spend some time.
Big bosses have big boss interactions, and drivers also have friendly interactions with each other.
When there were more people, there was no shortage of topics to talk about, but it was difficult to talk between acquaintances. So, except for a brief exchange of greetings with Fuyumi Sakamoto when they first met, the two of them didn't talk much after that.
…
This time, Zhu Yangongzhang was not drunk, but when the drivers went to pick up their respective bosses, looking at his rosy face, he still drank a lot.
As soon as they passed by, Mr. Ino recognized Iwahashi Shinichi at a glance and said "Oh", "The manager from last time?"
"Teacher Inomata," Iwahashi Shinichi responded.
"Thank you last time, agent." Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly to the people traveling with him, "Jin Yijun's new agent is a very energetic young man." He asked him: "What is the agent's name?"
"Shinichi Iwahashi," he replied.
Putting this name together with Mori Shinichi's name naturally created a topic. After hearing this, the big guys laughed and teased Mori Shinichi, "Two しんいち."
When Mori Jin first debuted, he sang songs by Zhu Huan Gongzhang. Even if he is a celebrity, he is still a younger brother in front of these big guys. At this time, he can just let them tease him.
After finishing his joke, Mr. Ino asked for a leather bag from Sakamoto Fuyumi, took out his wallet, pulled out a stack of bills, and stuffed it into Shinichi Iwahashi's hand, "This is your year-end reward, take it and have something to eat."
This situation, rather than being a year-end reward, is better regarded as a tip given by a nightclub guest to a waiter. Iwahashi Shinichi hesitated for a moment, then naturally took the stack of money and thanked Mr. Ino for his official seal.
Zhu Yan Gongzhang nodded with great satisfaction and patted his upper arm, "Keep your energy up, agent."
There was no hitchhiker this time, so Shinichi Mori was dropped off and Shinichi Iwahashi headed home.
Roppongi was noisy and lavish, but the residential area where he lived was quiet and shabby, which gave him a sense of separation.
He sat down on the tatami, took out the money that the pig husband and wife had given him, and counted it. It turned out to be one hundred thousand yen.
I just gave him a hand...
This stack of money made Iwahashi Shinichi deeply aware of the class gap, and then he felt infinite fighting spirit in his heart.
You have to get ahead.
But the next day, I still have to devote myself to trivial work.
On the 29th, in order to participate in the rehearsal, Shinichi Iwahashi followed Shinichi Mori to the venue of the Kohaku Utakai Festival, the Nhkhall in Shibuya.
Not long ago, Bushi Ming held the final venue of his tour here. This old venue was built in Showa 48 (1973). The year it was built was the first oil crisis, and people across the country were rushing to grab toilet paper.
That year, the 24th Red and White Song Festival was held here.
Normally, this place is used to record programs and hold concerts. At the end of the year, there will be enough time to prepare for the grand event of the Red and White Song Festival.
The Spring Festival Gala has always been the highest-level stage, and preparations must be thorough. It does not have to be anything new, but it must not make mistakes. For this reason, special attention is paid to rehearsals.
nhkhall was crowded today and it was very lively. The backstage space was limited, but there were many singers who came to participate. Those who didn't have enough seats had to squeeze in with others.
At this time, the advantage of the boss becomes apparent. A singer like Mori Shinichi, who dominates the stage, can undoubtedly occupy a lounge and wait comfortably.
Although I spent almost the whole day in this nhkhall, most of the time, because it was not my turn, I had to wait in the background. It was very important to have a place to stay.
During this period, Shinichi Mori was waiting in the lounge, but Shinichi Iwahashi had to walk back and forth to confirm the flow and progress of the performance and notify him before Shinichi Mori appeared.
The backstage of the Red and White Song Festival is star-studded, gathering the hottest and most popular stars at the moment, including Kenji Sawada, one of the three Shingos, Kyoko Koizumi, who can dominate the world just by being cute, Yumiko Koyanagi, a singer who also belongs to Watanabe Productions, and
There is Deng Lijun who Iwahashi Shinichi is most familiar with.
Mori Shinichi and Deng Lijun have a close friendship. Although Deng Lijun has left Watanabe Productions for many years, they still greeted each other when they met on this occasion.
For Shinichi Iwahashi, the impact of meeting Deng Lijun was greater than the impact of meeting any big star backstage. This is not only because he is most familiar with Deng Lijun, but most importantly, the Deng Lijun standing in front of him has already
The face of the deceased when he was still alive.
"Iwahashi-kun is your fan." Mori Shinichi spoke for Iwahashi Shinichi without hesitation.
When Deng Lijun heard about it, she smiled sweetly and greeted him politely: "Hello, thank you for your support."
"I'm so glad to see you." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
He wanted to greet her in Chinese, but Mori Jinichi was present and it was impolite to use a language that Mori Jinichi did not understand, so he had to suppress it.
Deng Lijun sat for a while and then left Mori Shinichi's lounge. Iwahashi Shinichi didn't have the chance to stay there and quickly went to the front of the stage again.
At noon, the lunch box ordered by nhk arrived, and Iwahashi Shinichi was responsible for getting it. After getting it back, he walked to the lounge backstage. As a result, he met someone in the corridor.
…
Akina Nakamori had just finished confirming her position when she appeared on the stage. Accompanied by her manager, she retreated from the front to the backstage.
At the peak of her career, she is well-deserved to be selected for the Red and White Song Festival this year. Not only that, at such a young age, she is already enjoying the treatment of a top star in this venue.
The corridor was not spacious, and Akina Nakamori, who was responding to her manager's words without a word, saw the person walking towards her holding a bento box.
The young man who high-fived Joan Jett at her concert.
Shinichi Iwahashi had seen the list of attendees and knew that Akina Nakamori was also attending the Hongbai Song Contest, so it was not a surprise to meet her.
At this time, he seemed to have forgotten that he had met her at Joan Jett's concert. He greeted her in a business-like manner like other staff members: "Nakamori-san, thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you for your hard work." Nakamori Akina instinctively responded to him in a business-like manner.
The young man who said "success" and then high-fived Joan Jett at her concert... Now, I met him backstage at the Red and White Song Concert.
