Although both parties know that this negotiation will not shake the fundamentals, the more so, the less likely it is that the matter can be decided in a chat.
In the final analysis, it is impossible to finalize the contract tonight. Therefore, bargaining has become necessary.
"No matter what, although I continue to work, my family must come first."
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care that he said this to Kenichiro Nozaki. Anyway, it was just to set the stage for what follows, "For Akina, continuing to work after getting married is because she hopes to realize ideas and attempts that she has not yet made."
"Akina-chan has always been her own music producer and has considerable autonomy in music selection and stage. This will probably not change in the future. The office will fully support her attempts and look forward to her
idea." Kenichiro Nozaki seemed to be making a promise.
Iwahashi Shinichi listened silently and replied, "If this is the case, I'm afraid it's not enough. Of course Akina needs the support of the firm, but from now on, it is more important to move forward at her own pace."
"Akina has shown her talents and opinions both as a singer and an actress. Regarding the future, in order to be able to carry out activities according to her ideas and pace, sometimes her ideas will inevitably conflict with Kenyin's current treatment of artists.
There is a conflict between the policies.”
Iwahashi Shinichi paused, looked at Mr. Nozaki, and then said: "Considering the positions of both parties, if we want to maximize Akina's talents, we will not make Kenyin change his policy because of Akina..."
"Establish a personal office for her and let Yanyin manage it. In this way, we can get the best of both worlds."
Iwahashi Shinichi expressed his plan.
Nozaki Kenichiro shook his head, "No matter what Kenin's policy is towards artists, he will always have the intention and energy to treat Akina-chan wholeheartedly and let her realize her own ideas."
"An artist who wants to be treated wholeheartedly and fully supported is no longer an artist." Iwahashi Shin replied quickly.
Kenichiro Nozaki smiled and said, "From a emotional point of view, Akina-chan and Iwahashi-kun are getting married, and Kenine is just like his beloved daughter getting married."
"Once a daughter gets married, she becomes a member of her husband's family." Iwahashi Shinichi didn't mean to be sarcastic, but at this moment, using such warm words seemed hypocritical and missed the point.
Kenichiro Nozaki was choked up and replied a little stiffly, "Even if my daughter gets married, her family will not change."
Both sides fell into silence for a moment, and both seemed to think that these words were too rude. However, Nozaki Kenichiro was led by Iwahashi Shinichi and ended up at a disadvantage.
Since Kenyin wanted to pretend to marry his daughter, he had to be a good mother. After Nozaki Kenichiro finished speaking, he realized that he was being led by Iwahashi Shinichi and lost for a while.
"Well said." Shinichi Iwahashi smiled. He spoke first, "If Akina hears these words, she will be deeply honored to know that Kenyin bids off her wedding in such a mood."
Kenichiro Nozaki also breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down, "At the beginning, Kenin was just an unknown firm. It was only after meeting Akina-chan that we got the cards that lead to winning the team. For Kenin, the existence of Akina-chan
, her meaning is irreplaceable.”
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Kenyin to agree to set up a personal agency for Akina Nakamori, so that she will no longer be Kenyin's Akina Nakamori.
"Akina, who has been cooperating with Kenin, can bring out the best of her talents. Akina believes in this, and so do I." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "Akina also feels like siding with Kenin."
"As for me," Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, and there was something in his words, "I'm always on Akina's side."
Does siding with Akina Nakamori mean that he is fighting for her interests, or does it mean that he is siding with Kenyin because of Akina Nakamori? Thinking of this, the string in Nozaki Kenichiro's heart that was getting tighter and tighter because of what he just said suddenly relaxed.
.
He couldn't help but think why he needed to be so nervous. After all, this negotiation was still an internal negotiation between Kenyin and Nakamori Akina.
"From a practical point of view, Akina's next work plan is based on the premise of creating more possibilities and realizing more ideas. This is also the reason why she is willing to continue working."
"It sounds like Akina-chan will be involved in behind-the-scenes production work in the future."
"Akina is originally an excellent producer, but this talent was only reflected in her own plans before. Possibilities outside of this may not exist... Therefore, autonomy is crucial.
"
When Iwahashi Shinichi worked for Nakamori Akina as a producer, everyone knew that he admired Nakamori Akina unabashedly. So much so that when the two of them first started dating, Kenin thought that this person regarded Nakamori Akina as an artist.
People who come to see me will not want to marry a born stage artist home.
Now, it is precisely because he admires Nakamori Akina that he personally acts as an agent to fight for her.
"We can be sure that Akina-chan has an autonomy that few others in the entire industry can match." Kenichiro Nozaki has such confidence.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "As an artist, Kenin really respects Akina's ideas. However," he changed the topic, "Today, Akina's meaning is not just an 'artist', she will pursue it in the future.
Ideas and attempts are no longer as simple as being an 'artist'."
"Not an artist..."
Kenichiro Nozaki considered Iwahashi Shinichi's words in his mind and knew that the critical moment had arrived.
"For Akina, she is very grateful to Kenyin for her support at the beginning, which made her what she is today. Therefore, her trust in Kenyin has never wavered. Regarding the future, there are various possibilities to be realized. Compared with continuing to be under the influence of Kenyin,
Under the protection of Yin, Akina is more willing to advance and retreat with Kenyin." Shinichi Iwahashi stated his request.
"To advance and retreat together" sounds good. Shinichi Iwahashi is asking for Kenyin's shares on behalf of Akina Nakamori.
However, the conditions he proposed were not unexpected by Yanyin.
Nozaki Kenichiro figured out one thing. No matter how hard Iwahashi Shinichi fought, he was fighting for Nakamori Akina. And as long as what he was fighting for was Nakamori Akina's interests, it was still an internal matter between Kenyin and Nakamori Akina.
.
Understanding this in his heart, Nozaki Kenichiro became more and more calm.
In fact, in today's discussion, no matter what Shinichi Iwahashi's request was, it was impossible to make an on-the-spot decision. It was about a contract, and he even asked for shares. Kenyin was not the sole proprietor of Nozaki and his son, so of course he couldn't give any answer on the spot.
On the Kenyin side, the reason why Nozaki Kenichiro came forward was because of this consideration.
Iwahashi Shinichi is not in a hurry. To be honest, Kenyin is actually more anxious than him. The contract cannot be finalized, and it is uncertain what position Nakamori Akina should have in Kenyin in the future. Then, Kenyin can only remove Nakamori Akina first.
Offer it up.
After he finished speaking about his plan, Nozaki Kenichiro accepted his plan, and the two of them put the matter aside for the time being and started drinking and talking happily.
Before Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina dated and worked hard to get married, every time Kenichiro Nozaki interacted with Iwahashi Shinichi, he was almost always discussing cooperation with him, and the atmosphere was relaxed. To be honest, compared to what he did just now
Chatting with Iwahashi Shinichi and relaxing at this moment was the way he was more familiar with getting along with Iwahashi Shinichi.
But in fact, the relationship between Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori did not bring about opposition between him and Kenin, but instead deepened their cooperation.
It wasn't until the end of the show that Nozaki Kenichiro brought up the old conversation again and spoke politely to Iwahashi Shinichi, "I'm now clear about Iwahashi-kun and Akina-chan's thoughts. After I go back, I will complete their thoughts."
Bring the whole piece to the office."
Iwahashi Shinichi lowered his head slightly, "I'll leave everything to Kenichiro-san."
"As a messenger, you can still do this." Kenichiro Nozaki said with a smile. He changed the topic and said, "Anyway, Kenin hopes to maintain cooperation with Akina-chan."
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, "No matter what, Akina and I are willing to trust Kenin."
His tone was normal and natural, as if he was just responding to Nozaki Kenichiro's words.
However, when Kenichiro Nozaki heard Shinichi Iwahashi say "trust in Kenin", he couldn't just regard it as a social rhetoric before saying goodbye.
Asking for shares is a very important matter, and Yanyin will of course have to make careful decisions. Yanyin is not a father-and-son shop of the Nozaki family. Promoting artists from the firm to become shareholders is not something that can only be accomplished by a decision made by both father and son.
Once an artist owns shares in an agency, he is no longer just a commodity. Therefore, agencies must be cautious when facing such requirements. In the entire industry, artists who can obtain shares in their agencies also
Not many.
It can even be said that for an artist to become a shareholder of a firm is a taboo-breaking act.
For a firm, it can indulge its big-name stars in every possible way, but one day, the star will no longer be a hit, and it can sweep him into a corner at any time. However, owning shares means breaking away from the original kind of today's
I don’t know what the status will be tomorrow.
Shinichi Iwahashi, the agent, would ask for shares from Nakamori Akina, simply because he, the man in black behind the scenes, knows best what the nature of a celebrity artist is. Therefore, the goal of efforts is to get Nakamori Akina out of her status as a "commodity".
Although the matter is of great importance, the good thing is that Iwahashi Shinichi has been fighting for Nakamori Akina's rights and interests from beginning to end. As long as the negotiations revolve around Nakamori Akina, then it is still an internal matter within Yanyin.
After Nozaki Kenichiro returned, he first conveyed the contents of his discussion with Iwahashi Shinichi to his father. After hearing this, Nozaki Toshio thought of something and suddenly laughed.
"Father?" Nozaki Kenichiro was curious.
Toshio Nozaki said, "I remembered the time when the relationship between Iwahashi-kun and Akina was first exposed."
At the beginning, the relationship between Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori had just been exposed, and he was worried that the office would embarrass Shinichi Iwahashi. Akina Nakamori did not hesitate and stood by his side.
On that first day, we should have been able to predict that this day would come.
…
Chieko traveled to Nagoya by herself a while ago.
She had not traveled alone for many years. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel like she was traveling alone for the first time. Before departure, she didn't say hello to anyone. She packed her simple luggage and bought a ticket to Nagoya.
Her current body is not considered strong, but she is not weak either. Chieko is high-spirited, and since she feels energetic, she can't help but take action. Until Nakamori Akina's next visit to her mother, Chieko bought herself a trip
As a souvenir, the daughter realized that her mother had gone on a trip for three days and two nights.
"That's awesome." Akina Nakamori smiled.
When her daughter heard about this incident, she did not blame her for her misbehavior. Chieko was in a happy mood. However, Akina Nakamori was still worried. She thanked her mother for the gift and said, "Mother also gives me a call when she is traveling."
Well."
"Next time, before setting off, I will definitely call Akina-chan." Chieko blinked.
It seems that Nakamori Akina's ability to survive in cute ways was inherited from her mother.
At this moment, Chieko also began to feel that she had acted inappropriately, "If someone comes to visit during this period and finds that they can't be contacted, it will be a shock."
"If I call my mother every day, I will definitely be scared this time." Nakamori Akina said.
Chieko laughed heartily, "I receive greeting calls every day, and I am also scared. I wonder, what happened?"
If Chieko had known about this when she went out, she would probably have been worried. But now, Chieko's trip has ended successfully. She is sitting at home drinking tea and chatting with her daughter. After a moment of fear, she is only happy.
Chieko suddenly mentioned, "Shinichi-kun's hometown, that house is so beautiful."
"Eh?" Nakamori Akina didn't expect that her mother's topic would suddenly jump here, and she reacted, "Mother went to Shinichi's hometown?"
Chieko showed an expression of a successful prank - it seemed that it was a funny thing to surprise her daughter. After convincing her, she explained, "On my way back, I was invited by Chiyo-san to visit Iwahashi's house."
Nakamori Akina was even more surprised now.
Do your mother and Shen Yijun's mother still have a private relationship?
Not only that, neither she nor Iwahashi Shinichi knew about this matter. But considering Chiyosana's free and easy behavior, they probably didn't feel the need to tell their son such a trivial matter.
Chieko was still talking about her feelings, "The first time I saw a house like that, I was shocked. Before Chiyo-san opened the door, she was still worried that she might have got the wrong address and pressed the foreigner button by mistake.
Doorbell for home.”
"Shura Martial God"
It was rare for Chieko to say such cowardly words. However, seeing such a Western-style house made Chieko think to herself, no wonder Iwahashi Shinichi sometimes doesn't look like a Japanese.
This time, Shinichi Iwahashi did not come to see Chieko with Akina Nakamori.
Speaking of Iwahashi Shinichi's hometown, Chieko expressed a little nostalgia, "I haven't seen Shinichi-kun for a long time."
"Shinichi has been acting like President-san lately."
Akina Nakamori took advantage of her boyfriend's absence and secretly arranged for him.
