Akina Nakamori reported the wedding day to the office. When she went home in the evening and saw Shinichi Iwahashi, she immediately told him excitedly that the marriage between the two had the support of the office.
Although she had made up her mind, she still received blessings for life-long events. Everything went well, which made her feel more comfortable. Toshio Nozaki sent his blessings to her as if an elder treated a junior. Such an attitude made Akina Nakamori feel warm in her heart.
When she is in a good mood, she likes to do something strange and has a rough voice. She imitates Toshio Nozaki's speech and relays it to Shinichi Iwahashi.
In addition to President Nozaki's blessing, Toshio Nozaki also praised Shinichi Iwahashi, "Iwahashi-san has always been very considerate in his work."
When Akina Nakamori relayed this sentence, she looked as if she was the one being praised.
But Toshio Nozaki's words of "doing things thoughtfully" are profound.
Kenyin's music department has hardly developed over the years, and the Nozakis apparently had the idea of cooperating with GENZO through Akina Nakamori's marriage. This was revealed at the end of last year, when Shinichi Iwahashi and Kenichiro Nozaki met with Mr. Nozaki.
At that time, I had already heard this meaning from the other party.
Of course, Iwahashi Shinichi himself has also revealed his intention to cooperate, consciously or unconsciously. However, until the day when the words are really spoken, all the tacit exchanges of glances may go unfulfilled at any time.
Today, the one who is more anxious than Iwahashi Shinichi is Kenyin.
Ever since Akina Nakamori went to meet Toshio Nozaki, Kenyin has probably been waiting for Shinichi Iwahashi to contact her. Now that TRF's single sales have come out, Kenichiro Nozaki probably can't wait to call him.
The more this happened, the more leisurely Iwahashi Shinichi became, whetting the appetite of the Nozaki family.
"It's good to whet your appetite for studying music, right?"
Looking at Shinichi Iwahashi's expression, Watanabe Wan Yumi suddenly laughed and joked.
Shinichi Iwahashi came back to his senses and stared at her face. The drunkenness surged onto her face. When Watanabe Wanyumi said this, there was a trace of the naughty and unrestrained tone of a tipsy person, as if she was proposing an interesting game.
He couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't say that."
"Writing it on your face is as good as saying it." Watanabe Wan Yumi said sarcastically at him.
If she continues to say this, she will only get slapped by her. Iwahashi Shinichi quickly stopped, "It's a very important matter. There is no reason for me to finish the phone call with Yanyin first and then let you know."
The smile on Watanabe Wan Yumi's face faded, and she said lightly, "Nozaki-kun will call me."
No matter whether Iwahashi Shinichi communicated with her in advance or not, after that, Kenyin would definitely not cross Watanabe Wanyumi.
There was something in her words. Iwahashi Shinichi asked her to remind him. He straightened his back subconsciously and replied a bit forcefully, "Those who are distant from each other cannot test the affairs between those who are close to each other."
Watanabe Wan Yumi raised her gaze, looked at Iwahashi Shinichi's expression, and nodded lightly, "...of course."
The conversation between the two people stopped immediately.
…
In the evening, the phone at Watanabe's old house rang, and the maid Tokie answered the phone. After a while, she went to report to Mizuo Watanabe, "Ms. Manyumi called and will be here during dinner."
The menu for dinner has been decided. At this moment, Tokijie asked Mizuo Watanabe for instructions.
Her office is on track, and Watanabe Wanyumi doesn't visit often except for the day she comes to have dinner with her mother every week. Even if she does come, she just sits for a while and exchanges the recent situation with Watanabe Mizuo.
Women exchange opinions with each other.
Because of this, when I suddenly called and said that I was coming over for dinner, there must be something important to discuss with Mizuo Watanabe.
Mizuo Watanabe now works three afternoons a week at Watanabe Productions. She is over sixty years old and her energy is not diminished. Although power has been gradually transferred to the eldest daughter Miki, she has never taken her eyes away from the entertainment industry.
We can see that the band wave is coming, we can see that the television industry is about to undergo big changes, we can also see that the old era is ending and a new era is beginning.
Similarly, I also saw the emergence of the TRF group, and how Shinichi Iwahashi treated Tetsuya Komuro. Back then, Watanabe Manyumi gave Shinichi Iwahashi as much trust as he does now to Tetsuya Komuro.
Shinichi Iwahashi cultivated Tetsuya Komuro in this way, which seemed to Watanabe Mizuo to have a special meaning. From the moment Tetsuya Komuro was pushed to that position, Shinichi Iwahashi was no longer the same Shinichi Iwahashi as before.
.
GENZO will also enter a new era.
Although Mizuo Watanabe lacks the vision for innovation, it is difficult for him to have the same energy as before. However, with the experience of creating a new era in the entertainment industry with her husband, she has witnessed the development of the entertainment industry to this day. When looking at what has happened, she has her own perspective.
her inspiration.
In the evening, Watanabe Manyumi returned to her old house.
Tokie liked Miss Wan Yumi the most, and she was overjoyed every time she came to greet her. As soon as she entered the door, being welcomed so warmly, Watanabe Wan Yumi also felt at ease, and greeted Tokie in a cheerful tone.
"Monday nights are always easier."
Mizuo Watanabe met her daughter in the Western-style living room and joked with her.
Watanabe Manyumi answered with a smile, "Isn't it because Fuji TV's Moon Nine drama is so popular because Monday nights are free?"
"Nowadays, Monday nights are free, so dramas on September 9 are popular. In the past, it was the opposite. When TV dramas were popular, Monday nights were free," Mizuo Watanabe replied.
In the past, people couldn't stay idle at night. They could go out and enjoy themselves instead of being bored at home.
"After the period of rapid economic development, folk songs were swept aside, and everyone enthusiastically cheered for new music." Mizuo Watanabe seemed to be sighing.
That era was an era she was familiar with. Although after entering old age, she can no longer feel the pulse of fashion, but no matter what is popular and what is eliminated, the core behind it always has similarities.
…
After dinner, the mother and daughter moved to the Japanese room on the first floor.
Mizuo Watanabe congratulated her daughter, "Another new style group has been successfully promoted."
"It's the credit of Iwahashi and Komuro-san." Watanabe Manyumi wrote lightly, as if she was afraid that her mother would associate her with the new group. "It was only today that I learned that this group was successful.
"
Mizuo Watanabe could hear the unpleasantness in her tone and said, "Knowing when to succeed is not important. The timing is not important. Success itself is the key point."
"You are right." Watanabe Wan Yumi lowered her head slightly.
The maid Rongzi brought tea in, and noticed that the atmosphere between mother and daughter was not like chatting. She hurriedly put it down and left quickly. However, being interrupted by this cup of tea, the topic just now was naturally dropped.
Watanabe Mizuo changed the subject and talked about last night, when Miju and her family came to have dinner with her, "...Hiroki-kun is full of energy."
"Hiroki" is the name of Yoshida Miki's eldest son.
Hearing her mother mention her little nephew, Watanabe Wan Yumi had a smile on her face, "Really?"
The atmosphere between mother and daughter once again turned to gossip and family matters.
Miki Yoshida finished her parental leave and returned to the office, still taking on important responsibilities. Her husband, Masaki Yoshida, took the birth of his eldest son as an opportunity to become more involved in the affairs of Watanabe Productions, but the focus of his work is still on Fuji TV.
At this age, Yoshida Masaki is in his golden age in the TV station production bureau.
"Gold." Mizuo Watanabe said this, and she laughed first.
Watanabe Wanyumi was a little confused and didn't understand why her mother suddenly laughed. Watanabe Mizuo looked at her confused daughter, smiled and said, "I'm sorry."
She explained to her daughter, "I just thought that people in the Japanese media have called Japan's 'golden age' in recent years... Only after I went to Europe did I know that in Europe, the 'golden age' had its past glory.
mean."
"Is that so?" Watanabe Manyumi also laughed, finding it interesting.
"However, when we talk about the 'golden age' now, it is natural for everyone to think that it refers to the present time." Watanabe Manyumi and her mother said, "The original meaning of allusions is somewhat deviant, and the meaning will change if they are used incorrectly.
Change."
Therefore, the dictionary is revised again and again to include new meanings.
"At present, it is quite appropriate to say 'golden age'." Mizuo Watanabe said meaningfully.
Watanabe Wan Yumi nodded, "...Indeed."
"These past few years seem to be a time of madness. Are those people really not aware of the dangers?" Mizuo Watanabe asked herself, "Knowing the dangers, but still speeding up, this is knowing the outcome but still doing it.
way of doing."
"There is no turning back when you shoot a bow." Watanabe Manyumi echoed her mother's words.
This is a golden age that is doomed from the beginning. For the big shots, relying on such an era to turn the world upside down, achieve greater ambitions, and then retreat as if nothing has happened. Only ordinary people are run over by the rolling wheels of the times and shattered to pieces.
.
But the irony is that it is often ordinary people who cheer crazily for such an era. Before the car crashes and people are killed, they think it is a racing game, and the Japanese are speeding in the fast lane and are invincible.
"But it's not a bad thing for the entertainment industry." Mizuo Watanabe said, "When the world faces major changes, not only will the television industry have more opportunities to perform, but creators will also receive a steady stream of inspiration.
"
In an era that remains unchanged, the creator's inspiration is also limited. In a new era, a new picture unfolds before the creator's eyes. Whether it is a golden age or a depression era, the creator does not hesitate when writing.
Watanabe Wan Yumi opened her palm and stared at the palm of her hand again and again. Watanabe Wan Yumi realized something and after finishing this sentence, she closed her mouth.
After a long silence, Watanabe Wan Yumi woke up. She spoke slowly and told her mother, "Iwahashi said that he is planning to marry Nakamori-san."
Mizuo Watanabe was not surprised when she heard this. She said calmly, "Then I have to say 'congratulations' to him."
Watanabe Wan Yumi suddenly smiled. She remembered that her reaction when she heard Iwahashi Shinichi say this was no different from her mother's reaction.
"Don't worry," she said to her mother, "you can't say to Iwahashi, 'Are you kidding me? That's Kenyin's signature.'"
Watanabe Mizuo laughed, "If you really say that, it makes sense." As a mother, she was eager to give it a try, as if she really wanted to say that to Iwahashi Shinichi.
"The signature of Yanyin."
Watanabe Manyumi asked her mother, "How did my mother and father feel when dies decided to disband?"
Dies back then was also a signature product made by Watanabe.
"You can stop what happens if you can. If you know what you can't stop, just let it go." Mizuo Watanabe replied to her daughter, "The flowering period of female idols is inherently short, but they retreat quickly while still maintaining popularity, leaving the audience with more imagination.
, it is a more long-lasting wealth for the firm.”
What's more, the members of dies were grateful for the tolerance and generosity of Susumu Watanabe and his wife. After disbanding and leaving the agency, they still maintained harmony with Watanabe Productions. After one of the members, Yin Tenglan, married the famous actor Yutaka Mizutani, even Yutaka Mizutani was also affected.
Due to my wife's influence, I am willing to cooperate with artists from the Watanabe family.
"Nakamori-san can be called a legendary idol." Watanabe Wan Yumi said to her mother.
This emotion can only be said in front of my mother. It contains both admiration for Nakamori Akina and a little subtle disbelief.
Watanabe Manyumi changed the subject and told her mother, "Kenyin readily agreed to Nakamori-san's marriage report."
"President Nozaki is a man with an open mind and a long-term vision," Mizuo Watanabe said.
He has a long-term vision, so he will not stop things that cannot be stopped, but look for opportunities that are beneficial to Yanyin from this matter.
Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled, "Maybe so... Mother, after that, Iwahashi will have to go see President Nozaki in person and talk about the marriage again."
"I hope President Nozaki can say to him, 'Are you kidding? That's Kenyin's signature!'" Mizuo Watanabe showed a trace of the liveliness of an old naughty boy and joked with her daughter.
"The target is Iwahashi. I'm afraid President Nozaki can't say this," Watanabe Manyumi replied.
Watanabe Mizuo thought deeply, "Even I can't say it."
The mother and daughter made fun of Iwahashi Shinichi, who was not present, and laughed heartily.
If the servant happened to be near the living room and heard the bursts of laughter coming from inside, he would probably think that it was a relaxed and happy chat between mother and daughter.
However, this is a very serious discussion on official matters.
While chatting and laughing with her mother, the past memories were vividly in front of Watanabe Manyumi. She slightly restrained her smile, "Iwahashi's idea is to have an in-depth cooperation with Kenon in music."
"Music too?" Mizuo Watanabe heard this sentence, and the expression on his face changed slightly.
Once she puts away the trace of old naughty liveliness and regains her composure, Mizuo Watanabe is still the Dinghai Shenzhen made by Watanabe.
Watanabe Manyumi nodded, "Yes. This time, GENZO will set up a new label for Komuro-san and fully cooperate with Komuro-san's new music production. Taking this as an opportunity, we also invite Kenyin to participate."
