133. The Third Encounter

On February 14th, not only Misa Watanabe and Mayumi Watanabe paid attention to the news, but Miki Yoshida of the Yoshida family in Azabu also subconsciously turned to the entertainment section to check the reports about this music festival while having breakfast.

Although Yoshida Miki is the eldest daughter who inherited the family business, her husband did not marry into the family. Even so, she has a strong personality, and she is the first to read the newspaper at home. Fortunately, her husband Yoshida Masaki does not care about these things and switches to traditional

I'm afraid this situation would never happen in a Japanese family.

In "Kojiki", Ienaki and his sister Ienami created the land of Japan together.

As the two walked around the Heavenly Pillar, they noticed that because Ienami spoke first, the child born at first had missing limbs. The two asked the God for advice, and the God said that it was because the woman spoke first that she could not give birth to a good child.

So the brother and sister went back to walking around the pillar. This time, the elder brother Ienaki spoke first, and then gave birth to fourteen islands and thirty-five gods in sequence. When giving birth to the God of Fire, Ienami was killed by the God of Fire.

Burned to death.

I won’t discuss the magic of myths, but since ancient myths there has been a saying that women cannot speak before men, which makes us understand why Japan’s social environment is “men first”.

In Heian period literature, men who treat women tenderly and are sometimes rejected by women do so not because they respect women, but rather because they care about precious things.

Regarding this point, the great writer Junichiro Tanizaki has a wonderful saying, which is that although people carefully serve and worship the antique Buddha statues enshrined on the Buddhist altar, in fact the Buddha statues are still their private property.

Although Miki Yoshida is not positive about the music festival, Watanabe Productions is the Watanabe family's Watanabe Productions. Now that the matter has been decided, she naturally takes it to heart and is also concerned about the final results.

A large space was reserved in the newspaper, indicating the successful conclusion of the music festival. Yoshida Miki saw it, but did not feel very happy.

The conflicts and disagreements I had with my sister during this music festival were like a small thorn piercing my flesh. Although it didn't hurt, there was always a slight discomfort.

Yoshida Miki is not the kind of person who is jealous of talents. She has admitted before that compared to this younger sister, she is lacking in talents.

Although she was a conservative, she was not a fool who could not see the pros and cons and insisted on going her own way. But she did not expect Wan Yumi to protect a newcomer like that.

Watanabe Manyumi's trust in the manager named Iwahashi Shinichi beyond seniority was what really displeased Yoshida Miki.

There shouldn't be such a die-hard "Manyumi faction" in the office.



For people in general professions, holidays are holidays. However, in the entertainment industry, especially for artists and managers, the distinction between working days and non-working days is not so clear.

After saying goodbye to the people from Rabbit Country, Iwahashi Shinichi returned to the office.

It was not a normal day, so not many people came from the First Production Department. When I went to my office, I saw a piece of chocolate on the table with a message card attached. I took a look and saw that it was a favor chocolate sent by Akiko Matsumoto. On the card

It said that she had work to do early in the morning and couldn't hand it over to him in person, so she put it here first.

As the name suggests, favor chocolate means that I didn't want to give it to you originally, but I had to give it to you because of my face, so don't think too much about it after you accept it.

Don't worry, it's not a gift from Sayuri Yoshinaga, so I won't think too much about it.

Iwahashi Shin picked up the chocolate and couldn't help but sigh when he saw the brand, this girl really made money.

Today he did two things. One was to check Mori Shinichi's schedule during the period when he was focusing on the music festival, and to make a simple handover with another personal manager that did not require his physical presence.

This is easy, just look through the itinerary sent by the other party and confirm the places that need to be confirmed.

As for the second thing, I need to go to Warner Bros. Pioneer and do some finishing work there.

After reading the schedule, Shinichi Iwahashi left the office and went to visit Warner Bros. Pioneer. As soon as he saw the people there, he received a string of congratulations, "Congratulations, Iwahashi-san, the music festival has come to a successful conclusion."

Shinichi Iwahashi greeted the other party politely, "It's all thanks to you all."

The success of this music festival made him famous. A small novice manager initiated this big project and overcame various difficulties along the way, even challenging people with higher qualifications than himself.

If this kind of thing fails, it is treason. If it succeeds, it is the so-called inferiority overcoming the superiority.

Japan is a country that loves the spectacle of an inch-and-a-half-inch-long insect biting a big snake to death. For example, there is no stipulated weight class in sumo wrestling competitions, which can be seen as a manifestation. In this way, that kind of magic may appear in the competition.

reversal.

This slightly distorted idea is probably related to the fact that the country itself is not very favorable in terms of time, place, and people.

To put it this way, it is really indescribable to feel that the bug that was fed two atomic bombs by the American daddy is now bitten by the American daddy until he grins.

In the same way, a nation that has the bottom and the top imprinted in its bones is like an invincible little strong. Unless it is suppressed forever and has one foot on it, otherwise it will have to wait for an opportunity to play the bottom to overcome the top.

Shinichi Iwahashi is indeed still an inch-and-a-half-inch long worm. Although he has accomplished these two things, he is still nothing in the huge entertainment world.

But on the other hand, a person who starts from the bottom with nothing can make himself famous in the entertainment industry in one year. No one will think that he is unsuccessful.

Now, to the outside world, everyone thinks that he is about to be reused and regards him as a promising rookie.

Saying goodbye to the staff of Warner Pioneer, Shinichi Iwahashi walked through the corridor to wait for the elevator, and met two people at the corner.

?how?old?are?you?Why is it always you?

Akina Nakamori's record company is signed to Warner Pioneer. Today, accompanied by her manager, she went to the company to hold a song selection meeting for her new album.

As a result, I met that young man again. His name was Iwahashi Shinichi.

How many times have you met him unexpectedly?

Nakamori Akina looked at the surprised Iwahashi Shinichi, and suddenly felt that such an encounter was very interesting, and couldn't help but laugh.

Taopusida looked at your face and suddenly laughed. This kind of thing...

Iwahashi Shinichi was a little confused, as if there was something on his face. But after thinking about it, he thought this way of meeting was funny, so he didn't hold back and smiled.

After laughing, he immediately responded, "Hello, Nakamori-san."

"Hello." Akina Nakamori nodded and returned the greeting.

Strictly speaking, the two of them were strangers who had nothing to do with each other. They met by chance and said hello, and that was it. Iwahashi Shinichi bowed, stepped aside, and prepared to leave.

At this moment.

"Iwahashi-san?" Before Nakamori Akina took a step forward, she thought of something and suddenly called him.
