Eleven years ago, Kenyin drew the good card of Akina Nakamori from "STAR! Birth". The inexperienced agency and the newborn idol, crossing the river by feeling for the stones, unexpectedly created a representative of the times.
superstar.
Riding on the last glory of the idol era, during the most gorgeous years in the entertainment industry, Kenyin relied on Nakamori Akina to build a brand and make a lot of money, and now it has the appearance of an entertainment agency. Kenyin and Nakamori
Mingcai is the mutual achievement of the firm and the stars. However, even if the company becomes famous thanks to a certain artist, it cannot change the fact that "artists are commodities displayed in the window".
At the beginning of the new year, after Akina Nakamori returned to work, she was busy participating in New Year's special programs, appearing at meetings that required her presence, and also flitting between different recording studios. Songs produced in her own name were recorded in Warner's recording studio.
The collaboration with V3 was carried out in Sony's recording studio.
After the most stressful period of work, she made a special trip back to the office to report about her upcoming marriage this year.
"Iwahashi-san and I have discussed getting married this year. I hope to get the support of the office."
Nakamori Akina's words are not so much a discussion or request with the office, but rather a notice to the office. Although her tone is not strong, however, considering her personality, she will not look back on what she has decided.
, now that she has come here and made this matter clear, it means that she has made up her mind.
Nozaki Toshio saw Nakamori Akina's appearance at this moment. He seemed to feel helpless and speechless, and smiled. From the first time they met to now, in the past eleven years, Nakamori Akina's personality has hardly changed.
.
Seeing her president Sang smiling as if she had no choice but to do something about it, Akina Nakamori felt that maybe she was a little too tough and announced the matter too suddenly. She looked for her own fault in her heart and looked at Toshio Nozaki with a childish look.
court.
Toshio Nozaki softened Akina Nakamori's attitude with just a smile.
In the eyes of an old fox like him, Akina Nakamori is so naive at all times that people find it incredible. Such an innocent person actually talks about marriage with a scheming person like Shinichi Iwahashi...
When Toshio Nozaki thought of this, he actually had a good impression of Shinichi Iwahashi. The character this young man showed in his interactions with Akina Nakamori made people think he was trustworthy. This young man is indeed very calculating, but looking at him
His behavior and how he treats his interactions with Akina Nakamori are definitely not the kind of villain that people want to stay away from.
For the past eleven years, I have watched Akina Nakamori grow up. To say that she has no feelings is not true.
Nozaki Toshio spoke slowly, "Congratulations, Akina-chan. You can find your own happiness, and the office is also happy for you."
He said to Nakamori Akina, "If you and Iwahashi-kun feel that the time is right, getting married would be a good thing."
Although he will not back down from anything he has made up his mind to do, there is nothing more gratifying than receiving blessings as soon as he says it. Akina Nakamori is in high spirits, and she feels warm in her heart for President Nozaki's tolerance.
of.
"Thank you." She lowered her head and thanked Nozaki Toshio.
However, Toshio Nozaki did not respond, but asked her about her specific plans, "Have these been decided on the date of naturalization and the time of the wedding?" He thought, "This year is the tenth anniversary of your debut. During the anniversary celebration,
, the announcement of your marriage is a good memory for the fans who support you."
"It hasn't been decided yet," Akina Nakamori answered honestly, "Iwahashi-san's parents will come to Tokyo in a few days." She implicitly said that she would wait until her parents met before making a decision.
But then, he told Toshio Nozaki, "Iwahashi-san also mentioned that this year is the tenth anniversary of my debut as a singer. I must consider the arrangements for the anniversary celebration and not cause too much trouble to the office."
"Iwahashi-kun has always been very considerate in his work." Toshio Nozaki didn't mind praising Shinichi Iwahashi. He changed the topic, "So, what are your plans for Akina-chan and Iwahashi-kun after you get married?"
Should she announce her retirement and leave the entertainment industry, or keep the possibility of continuing to work in the industry? For Akina Nakamori, the answer is probably obvious. Toshio Nozaki waited for her to speak and tell the answer.
Nakamori Akina bowed her head to him, "Anyway, I hope to be a competent wife who supports Iwahashi-san."
"That's incredible." Toshio Nozaki smiled.
Being the wife of a big shot in the entertainment industry is definitely not an easy task. By marrying Shinichi Iwahashi, Akina Nakamori will have to act like a eldest sister in front of the artists of the Iwahashi group. Other than that, go to
It is also her job to socialize with the wives of big shots. Akina Nakamori will stand in the same banquet hall with the wives of the Nozaki family in the future.
When she had to explain her marriage to the president of the office, Nakamori Akina was not prepared to be opposed or asked to impose conditions. However, everything went smoothly. President Nozaki was tolerant and approachable, as if he was concerned about the marriage of a junior.
Happy elders.
After successfully explaining to the office, Nakamori Akina felt a stone fall in her heart. With the joy of being blessed, she left Nozaki Toshio.
After seeing off this "guest", Toshio Nozaki thought for a moment, picked up the receiver, and called Kenichiro Nozaki.
Nakamori Akina's determination will never change. Once she is disappointed with someone, she will completely lose her trust in that person. If you know her temper, you must follow her and always maintain a sense of trust in her. There is no need to say anything to her.
Stop it when something happens.
It can only be said that the person she chose was Shinichi Iwahashi, making it difficult for Kenin to stop him.
Otherwise, whether this relationship can be consummated depends on whether the office wants her to get married.
Kenichiro Nozaki arrived neither too quickly nor too slowly, leaving Toshio Nozaki time to collect his thoughts. The father and son moved to the small reception room next to the president's office.
"Just now, Akina-chan came over." Toshio Nozaki got straight to the point.
Nozaki Kenichiro figured out his father's expression. Nozaki Toshio could not express his emotions or emotions. Because of this, Nozaki Kenichiro developed the ability to catch the clues revealed by his father. He guessed, "Are you going to marry Iwahashi?"
"The timing is neither too early nor too late," Toshio Nozaki commented.
Nozaki Kenichiro nodded, "Yes, father...it's just right for Kenyin."
"Really?" Toshio Nozaki suddenly threw the ball into his son's hand and asked him to tell him how it was just right.
Kenichiro Nozaki caught the ball and calmly said, "Father, TRF, the newbie launched by GENZO, looks at the current momentum and is already making a grand debut as a phenomenal newbie."
When talking about "phenomenal newcomers", Kenichiro Nozaki had an idea in his mind. In the past few years, there have been quite a few phenomenal newcomers.
Phenomenal newcomers emerge one after another, which increases the public's demand for singers and attracts more attention. The public is pursuing the latest trend that can be bought for 1,000 yen: a single from a "phenomenal singer".
"Speaking of this group, Iwahashi-kun has devised a very interesting promotion strategy, allowing the group to randomly appear at disco live performances in Tokyo. If you want to meet them, it is best to devote yourself to disco entertainment."
Kenichiro Nozaki told his father his thoughts after participating, "...as long as I join this game, I will forget everything. Although I had the idea of finding out, in the process of chasing, I unknowingly
, also became enthusiastic and wanted to see the combination and watch a show."
"That's it." Toshio Nozaki listened with interest.
"I have to say with emotion, 'As expected of Iwahashi.'" Kenichiro Nozaki couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Nozaki Toshio turned a blind eye to his son's subtle emotions at this moment. He rolled his eyes and said, "The public just likes Iwahashi."
Rather, it was Shinichi Iwahashi who once again accurately felt the pulse of this era.
Kenichiro Nozaki leaned forward slightly, "Father, a new era is coming, it has already arrived. Of course, Iwahashi will not be unaware of this. If he was not aware, there would be no TRF group.
Show up."
The so-called golden age has become a dream. The middle class still has some ability to maintain their dignity, but for young people who have nothing, they first experience what it means to be lost at the moment they prepare to enter society.
Whether it is the group TRF or the publicity method arranged by Shinichi Iwahashi, when the public is led by this publicity strategy, they have unknowingly turned all their attention to the group.
I have no time to think about other things. In the process of chasing, I regard this group that mobilizes everyone's emotions as a "hero".
The premise that Shinichi Iwahashi can allow TRF to do this is that young people have enough emptiness.
In other words, this is because the recession era has arrived. At this stage in previous years, young people were either playing games with their lives or fooling the recruiters of large companies to live a leisurely life.
However, this year, they need to collectively face the dark clouds hanging over their heads. When they feel that the future is uncertain, people's consumption outlook will subconsciously tend to be conservative, and they will gain a sense of security from collective activities.
What TRF provides them is not only the sense of security in group activities, but also the intoxication of temporarily forgetting their worries.
"We have already seen the signs of the new era, and now we can almost see the whole picture." Kenichiro Nozaki talked about the excitement, his tone seemed a bit urgent because of his excitement.
"Father, Yanyin already knew this when it decided to go all out to enter the television industry. The era when television stations had endless production funds and showed off their power to the agency will be swept away with the advent of the new era.
Entering the old era. According to the data sent by Dentsu, in the new quarter, the advertising expenses of TV stations decreased for the first time."
Once the bubble bursts, the era in which programs could not be produced without going abroad or going to heaven or earth will also come to an end. TV stations will find ways to reduce costs and treat artists more and more harshly. In turn, TV stations will face the money and money of agencies.
Offensive, you will no longer be as dismissive as before.
From now on, whoever has strong strength will be able to push his actors to prime time, whoever will be able to become guests of the television station, and whoever will have the right to speak in television production.
The end of the old era means the arrival of a golden age for firms like Yanyin.
Toshio Nozaki did not criticize his son for his excitement, but simply said lightly, "Television stations have always been a place of fierce competition. The production bureau said that the power of the agency needs to be restrained. When it comes time to compete for strength, the winner will
It doesn’t matter who it is.”
There is the BURNING Department, which is number one in the industry, and there are other firms that are also supported by the foundation.
Kenichiro Nozaki felt a little ashamed after being reminded by his father. He straightened his body and softened his tone, "But for Kenin, it is already an advantage to be able to use the weapons we are good at."
"Furthermore," Kenichiro Nozaki mentioned, "when the TV station needs to refer to the opinions of the firm, it will be more difficult for the small firm to continue. Kenyin can take advantage of this opportunity..."
He opened his palms and gently closed them again, making a gesture as if he was taking the small office into his pocket.
"When BURNING's Zhou Fangsang expands his power, his favorite method is to use money and dollars to win over senior managers from other agencies, so that they can lead their artists to become independent. With BURNING as a protective umbrella, even if he leaves the original agency,
It can also avoid being sanctioned by the industry.”
"Yanyin does not have as many intricate forces as BURNING, but it also has ways to strengthen itself."
"To be honest, what Zhou Fangsang did was just attracting a group of miscellaneous fish around him."
Kenichiro Nozaki looked down upon Ikuo Shubo's small favors and methods of using kindness and power at the same time. Of course, Ikuo Shubo was born as a poor young man in embarrassment, and the methods he could use were all those of the Yakuza organization. To put it bluntly, Kenichiro Nozaki
Of course, such a pampered young man cannot look down on Ikuo Zhou Fang.
Since Kenyin turned around and shifted its business focus to the actor business, the past two years have been quite fruitful. Kenichiro Nozaki has made a name for himself, and now that he is seeing the arrival of a new era, he is naturally complacent and does not take Ikuo Subo seriously.
inside.
The worse the economic downturn, the more popular consumption of cheap entertainment becomes.
The public will sit in front of the TV again instead of going out to party or travel. Therefore, it is on the table that the golden age of the TV industry is coming.
At this moment, it is definitely not just Yanyin who knows this and has begun to think about how to act.
The golden age of the television industry is still in prospect, but the golden age of the record industry has already begun. For several years, record sales have been booming, and the public has reproduced the record craze of the 1970s, and even worse.
At a moment like this, facing this big fat player in the recording industry, Yanyin cannot remain indifferent.
"Now, we just have to wait for Iwahashi." Nozaki Toshio said.
