Takenouchi Akihito also wanted to find another place to open another stall, but Iwahashi Shinichi had no enthusiasm and refused.
The two then broke up on the street.
"Iwahashi, you have to work harder in the future." Takenouchi Akihito smiled, "If you need money in the future, just come to me."
"I'll work harder." Shinichi Iwahashi laughed, "I'll try to earn something that can be used as collateral as soon as possible."
Takenouchi Akihito lives a carefree life, and Iwahashi Shinichi also has his own way of doing things.
After three days, on the fourth day, I started working as usual. In the first month of the year, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't have to go to pay New Year greetings, but Mori Shinichi had many places to visit. Iwahashi Shinichi also accompanied him when he was in charge of his schedule.
I went to pay New Year greetings and met a lot of big shots from all walks of life.
That evening, Watanabe Productions held an employee reception at the hotel under their name. All the artists from the agency also attended, and the hall was full.
Shinichi Iwahashi was a little hungry, so he left the small circle of the planning committee where they were talking and laughing, and wanted to get something to eat. On the way there, he greeted the colleagues or artists he met.
These days, he is a star figure at Watanabe Productions. Not only is the name Shinichi Iwahashi spread among the staff, but even the artists have heard about this young and promising agent.
Among them, he is most interested in second-rate artists who are half-famous but not black, or small-time artists who have never become popular. After all, Akiko Matsumoto, who he had tormented, was able to sneak into the office circle and chat and laugh at today's banquet.
.
"Iwahashi-san, good evening." Kyoko Miyano, an artist from the agency, saw him and took the initiative to say hello. She had been in the industry for three or four years, and she had always been tepid.
"Hello, Miyano-san."
"I've heard about Iwahashi-san's name a long time ago and wanted to meet him."
Given Kyoko Miyano's age and seniority, it was appropriate for Shinichi Iwahashi to greet her, but she didn't care and chatted with him cordially.
Iwahashi Shinichi responded politely and politely to Miyano Kyoko, and said a few words. Ahead, Watanabe Mayumi and Sekimura were walking this way one after another. It looked like Sekimura was following Watanabe.
Wan Yumi said something, and Watanabe Wan Yumi responded.
When she raised her head, she saw Iwahashi Shinichi and stopped.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Miyano Kyoko said goodbye politely, walked to the opposite side, first greeted Watanabe Wan Yumi, and then said hello to Sekimura: "Hello, Sekimura-san."
Guancun nodded, "Long time no see, Mr. Iwaqiao."
Although the person who recommended him to join the job was Sekimura, there were only a handful of opportunities for the two to meet after he joined the company. Sekimura had an idea for Yoshida Miwa, and until now, this matter is no secret to the two of them.
Therefore, whether it is Guancun versus him or he versus Guancun, although the two sides do not hate each other, there is still a little subtlety. The more subtle it is, the more polite they will be when they meet.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Sekimura and Watanabe Manyumi said goodbye.
There were only two of them left. Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Iwahashi-san...I saw you last night."
"Why?"
“Kagoshima restaurant in Shimbashi.”
Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly realized it, and then smiled and said: "Is it such a coincidence?" He briefly told her about Takenouchi Akihito asking him to go for free.
"However, I really don't understand, what are these young college students worth grabbing... In other words, it is right to want to attract talents, but it is too exaggerated to indiscriminately allow even irrelevant people like me to fish in troubled waters.
Already."
"Time is tight, and everyone wants to do something big." Watanabe Manyumi said half-jokingly, "The office is also feeling the gust of wind. From the beginning of last year to now, the office's entertainment expenses have been reduced.
It has risen three times in a row. However, because of the economic boom and soaring prices, there is nothing we can do."
"When the time comes, there may be people like me who come here to eat and drink, and also pay for carriage and carriage fees."
Watanabe Manyumi smiled and said, "It's very possible...but even if you know you are here to make fun of people, you will just turn a blind eye."
If the application is too strict and offends students, it will be very detrimental to the reputation of the recruiter if it is publicized. Now it is a seller's market where students are selective. If you treat them too harshly, they will be eliminated immediately.
Including Dayang Electric, who was slaughtered by him, the other party also knew very well that every reception was not always on target, and there were many people who fished in troubled waters, but even so, they had to do it. Only by casting a wide net could they catch more fish.
The company serves the students with good food and drinks, begging them to come to work, but even so, the students still have to be careful, and if they don't handle it well, they will be eliminated immediately.
If I were to write about such a strange scene, I would be scolded by the readers, and the protagonist would not have such an aura.
Reality is more exciting than reality.
The two walked through the crowd and walked to the sofa seats at the edge of the venue. They were chatting happily, and in the eyes of the people in the office, they had everything they wanted.
"The performance lineup sent by Rabbit Country will arrive in Tokyo on the afternoon of February 10th."
"oh?"
"How about you, as the representative of the office, entertain them then? It's not good if you let someone else go. It's you who suggested inviting them, and I want you to go." Watanabe Manyumi said, "It can be done.
Bar?"
Watanabe Wan Yumi's words were very careful, and Iwahashi Shinichi thanked her in his heart for her thoughtfulness.
"Of course." Iwahashi Shinichi agreed.
When Watanabe Manyumi mentioned that she wanted to send an interpreter to accompany him, Iwahashi Shinichi told her that he knew Chinese and could also serve as an interpreter.
"Can you even speak Chinese, Iwahashi-san?" Watanabe Manyumi felt incredulous.
After experiencing these incidents, Watanabe Manyumi believed that Iwahashi Shinichi was pragmatic and did not make big claims. Before, he had to test his skills, but now he simply acquiesced that everything he said was safe.
However, this judgment is correct.
What does "know how" mean? This is a special skill. Iwahashi Shinichi thought to himself and gave an affirmative answer.
Watanabe Wan Yumi thought for a while and said to him: "Iwahashi-san, you give me a feeling."
"What?"
"I think you are like a lottery wheel with no empty prizes." Watanabe Wanyumi said something childish, "Every time I spin the wheel, what I draw is a surprise."
This metaphor is powerful.
Shinichi Iwahashi was so amused by Watanabe Mayumi's words that he laughed at the ridiculousness and added: "That's what I say, maybe you are actually lucky, so you always draw the winning frame."
"Yeah?"
"So, if you get a bye one day, please don't be too disappointed." Iwahashi Shin reminded her, half jokingly and half seriously.
Watanabe Manyumi thought for a while and agreed, "Okay." Looking at Iwahashi Shinichi, she suddenly said: "Iwahashi-san, your tie looks great."
"Huh?" Shinichi Iwahashi was stunned.
What he was wearing today was the tie given by Okada Yukiko. Rather than who gave the tie, what surprised him was that Watanabe Manyumi was actually interested in what kind of tie he was wearing.
"You have a pretty good eye, Iwahashi-san."
Watanabe Manyumi did not go into depth on this topic.
…
Wang Xiaofang acted impulsively and tried to show off her skills in front of her boss.
As a result, she was selected in the first audition and became a candidate for this overseas performance. When she was selected, she started to feel a little scared.
Lao Hou laughed at her, "Where did that fearless energy go when I said I wanted to try it?"
After being aroused by him, the girl became more energetic.
Colleagues at the Broadcasting Art Troupe were surprised to learn that Wang Xiaofang, the well-known prick in the troupe, was going to bring glory to the country. The word "glory to the country" seemed a bit nondescript when used at a music festival.
But in this relatively closed era, having to go abroad to perform on the same stage with people from several countries, and singing in front of Wai Guoren, psychologically speaking, after all, it has the meaning of representing Guo Jia's image.
For the Rabbit Country, which is just starting out, what it has is still very limited, so it hopes to show its best side.
Don’t be slow to treat others, but don’t let yourself be left behind.
This idea is a simple respect for both parties.
In addition to Wang Xiaofang, there were three other girls who went to Japan together this time. The four of them formed a makeshift band. The boss acted as their consultant and took them to the recording studio every day for intensive tutoring.
After auditioning in the recording studio, Lao Hou appointed two lead singers for the band. One was Wang Xiaofang, and the other was Xiao Nan, a tall guy who was from the same hometown as Wang Xiaofang. He started learning the accordion and later switched to piano.
None of the four girls knew each other, and they all started to get along. They suddenly got together, and although they talked and laughed with each other, they were always polite.
Until one day, a young man came to the recording studio to find Lao Hou. When Xiao Nan saw him, his eyes widened and he said, "Cui Jian! I have seen your performance and I really like your songs!"
With just such a sentence, Wang Xiaofang suddenly felt that Xiao Nan's image in her heart was established.
The relationship between the two lead singers developed by leaps and bounds. Not only did they have contact at work, but they also began to communicate in private. The more the two of them chatted, the more interesting they became, and they began to look forward to the unknown music festival across the sea with nervous anticipation.
When the band gradually got along, Wang Xiaofang's relationship with Xiao Nan was obviously much better than with the other two girls. Wang Xiaofang's furry head, which was joked to be "thorny head", also grew half longer than short.
When the hair comes, the day of departure has also arrived.
…
The music festival is scheduled to be held on February 13th. For this performance, the organizers headed by Watanabe Productions rented out the Wangan Plaza for a whole week, including four days before and two days before the performance and the day of the event.
Considering that this is the first time, the performance lineup and cost issues, this naonのyaon will only be held for one day on the 13th.
Music festivals are different from concerts. After a concert rents a venue, the more concerts it holds, the more money it will earn. A music festival, especially if it is the first time it is held, will lose money every day it is open.
Since the goal has been achieved, forget about the extraneous matters.
The installation and dismantling of the stage are both major projects, and it is impossible to do it without setting aside time. Previously, it was still at the "paper talk" stage. After the stage planning began, Shinichi Iwahashi came to Wangan Plaza from time to time to inspect the progress and saw the empty space with his own eyes.
How to set up a stage and divide areas in the square.
Watching it come from nothing, Iwahashi Shinichi's sense of accomplishment is indescribable.
It's as if the child you worked so hard to raise has finally grown up.
Not only is he watching the whole process now, but on the day of the music festival, he will also be at the rear, responsible for coordinating front-line affairs and finishing the last shift. In contrast, performing on stage that day only took up one part of his day's work.
Just a small corner.
The program list has been arranged long ago and has been published through newspapers and magazines, as well as the music section of TV stations and radio stations. These days, unlike later generations, you can pick up your mobile phone and check everything.
The performance started at four o'clock that afternoon, started at five o'clock, and lasted until nine o'clock. Their DreamseTrue was lined up around seven o'clock and was on the main stage.
On that day, Watanabe Mayumi will be at the scene to see their performance with her own eyes and confirm whether Iwahashi Shinichi has the talent to form a team.
"It's so cold..." Shinichi Iwahashi inspected the steel frames erected on the main stage and exhaled.
According to solar terms, it is already the beginning of spring, but the weather is undoubtedly still very cold. Wangan Plaza is right on the edge of Tokyo Bay, and the sea breeze is so refreshing.
Staying at Wangan Plaza until the evening, Shinichi Iwahashi sat in the car and felt warm. He did not go back to the office, but went to a hotel owned by Watanabe Productions.
The musicians from Rabbit Country and the staff from both parties arrived in Tokyo this afternoon and stayed at a hotel invested by Watanabe Productions.
Watanabe Wan Yumi asked Iwahashi Shinichi to entertain them, not to accompany them to eat or go shopping.
These girls only had less than three days from arriving in Tokyo to performing on stage. During these three days, they had to communicate with the staff about the performance process, take them to the recording studio to record, and confirm the venue.
There is little room for a leisurely life.
Shinichi Iwahashi arrived at the hotel and made a phone call to make an appointment. After that, he met the girls and the staff for the first time in the reception room of the hotel.
There were four of them, Wang Xiaofang, and two staff members who came with them.
Before coming, the Japanese staff told Wang Xiaofang and the others that someone from Watanabe Entertainment who organized the event and was the proposer of the event would be coming later.
With such a general introduction, and then conveyed through a translator, everyone thought that the person who came next would be a rather dignified middle-aged man or something. As a result, what appeared in front of everyone was a tall young man in his early twenties.
He is tall, wears a well-fitting suit, has short hair, and looks very energetic.
"Hello, I am the manager of Watanabe Productions, which is hosting this music festival. My name is Shinichi Iwahashi." The young man smiled at them and spoke fluent Mandarin.
Regardless of whether the visitor matched the impression he had imagined, this fluent Mandarin and Shinichi Iwahashi's relaxed but not frivolous attitude miraculously eliminated the nervousness of several girls and weakened the feeling they felt when they first entered the door.
of precautions.
The middleman was eliminated, the two parties communicated directly, and the atmosphere heated up quickly. After roughly communicating about the concept and process of this music festival, Iwahashi Shinichi invited them:
"Let's go to the recording studio and try it out once to see the effect."
