Akina Nakamori left two days ago for a concert in Fukuoka. She arrived in Fukuoka the day before the concert and held three performances in three consecutive days. This business trip will take four days.
This is also the first time that Akina Nakamori has been away from home for four days at a time after Iwahashi Shinichi and her naturalized.
While living together, Akina Nakamori would go on business trips from time to time, from Kyushu to Hokkaido, and then overseas. Every time, she would pack up her things with great enthusiasm, finish work, and come back with gifts.
However, once she became "Akina Iwahashi", the mood of this Tao Pu star changed drastically. It didn't feel bad to be temporarily separated from her boyfriend who lived with her, but she left her husband at home and stayed out for several days in a row.
It made her feel uncomfortable and felt that she was being disrespectful to her husband at home.
This kind of thinking is not old-fashioned. But for Nakamori Akina, when she was preparing to become Mrs. Iwahashi, she had already taken this sense of responsibility into consideration as a matter of course.
But Iwahashi Shinichi has always been slow on this kind of thing. Before Nakamori Akina apologized to him, he never thought about it at all. Even after hearing her serious apology, his first reaction was to find it funny.
"what's so funny?"
When Nakamori Akina glanced at him, her tone was neither soft nor hard, and she stared at Shinichi Iwahashi with a look that was a little unhappy and a little guilty, the wifely airs she finally put up disappeared without knowing where they were.
.
However, when Nakamori Akina, who pretended to be a good wife with enthusiasm, asked this question, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know how to answer her.
If he told Akina Nakamori that her appearance was funny, wouldn't it be the same as bullying her?
Since she started living as a newlywed, Nakamori Akina has become more and more considerate in all aspects of her life. This time, she is leaving home for a business trip, and even the clothes that Shinichi Iwahashi will wear in the next four days are prepared one by one.
Before going on a business trip, Akina Nakamori put her luggage aside and arranged the clothes for Shinichi Iwahashi to wear for the next few days. When Shinichi Iwahashi and Kenta looked on, he felt that it was a bit exaggerated.
In a sense, this newlywed couple is still in the getting-together stage.
They have obviously been dating for several years and have lived together for a long time. However, they both lack experience in how to be a husband, how to be a wife, and how to live as a family... In these matters, both of them lack experience.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi at least has a bright mind and knows one true truth: when his wife wants to do something, the best way to deal with it is to let her do it.
Seeing Akina Nakamori preparing carefully and with great energy, Iwahashi Shinichi did not throw cold water on her. However, he was not used to reaching out for clothes, so he watched her busy from the side, and he also thought about doing something for her.
What. When Akina Nakamori discovered it, Shinichi Iwahashi was thinking seriously about her suitcase.
She laughed loudly, "If you help me sort it out, Shenyi, I won't be able to find anything."
...Why can the wife throw cold water on her husband so naturally when he wants to do something? However, what Akina Nakamori said is not wrong.
In the past few days, before going out every day, Shinichi Iwahashi dressed as Akina Nakamori had prepared. After two days of this, he seemed to understand, more or less, what it was like to be someone's husband.
…
For the production of TV series with a regular number of episodes, preparations should start at least six months in advance.
TV Asahi plans to adapt Fujisawa Hiroshi's manga "Twin Teachers" on Monday nights at 8pm in next spring. When it comes to adaptation rights, this TV series has become the first project that TV Asahi has decided to start in next spring.
On a sultry Saturday afternoon, Shinichi Iwahashi visited Watanabe Manyumi's office to discuss arrangements for the fifth anniversary of DREAMS COME TRUE. During the meeting, he listened to her talk about the TV series.
The general plot of the comic "Twin Teachers" is that a pair of twin brothers who separated when they were young became teachers in the same school and the same class when they grew up. One of them is the head teacher, the other is the deputy head teacher, and the other
The student is full of enthusiasm, and the other is a control freak who sees the relationship between teacher and student as "God and slave."
Such a pair of twin teachers with completely different behaviors have different opinions on students' issues, and various developments have taken place.
"Such a setting is not very friendly to students in this class." Iwahashi Shinichi looked at the plot synopsis of this manga-adapted TV series and complained casually.
After hearing this, Watanabe Manyumi replied, "What a boring person."
This kind of thing doesn't sound right when it comes from other people's mouths, but when it comes from someone like Watanabe Manyumi, it becomes especially funny.
After the manga-adapted TV series "Tokyo Love Story" became a phenomenon-level hit, the Japanese TV industry has set off a new trend of manga-adapted TV series. Every TV station is busy exploring how to cater to the audience's taste.
At this point, it is quite practical to find themes from popular comics or novels.
The original comic book "Twin Teachers" contains many plots that are not suitable for children. To make it suitable for broadcasting on TV and to suit the rhythm of a TV series, it all depends on the skill of the screenwriter.
TV Asahi's Monday night show at 8 p.m. is a TV drama slot that was established last year. Fuji TV's "Monthly Ninth Time" at 9 p.m. every Monday has become a golden sign. In contrast, Asahi TV's "Monthly Eighth Time"
”, it seems much bleaker.
Despite this, it can be regarded as a prime time slot after all. After a period of trial broadcast, the ratings have been well received. Therefore, TV Asahi is determined to regularize this time slot.
Since it is a TV series set in a school, various actors playing the roles of students are indispensable.
In the era of "Mr. Kimpachi, Three Years Eight Group", TV stations and agencies already knew that one of the main purposes of campus dramas was to promote new talents.
This principle holds true for any school drama. As soon as the news of the preparation of "Twin Teachers" got out, various offices were ready to take action.
"The people at the production bureau want to create a buzz." Watanabe Manyumi told Shinichi Iwahashi, "We are recruiting students from all over the country for roles."
If you think about it for a moment, you can imagine that when the TV series enters the promotion period, the Asahi-Japanese newspapers will make a big deal about "someone who stands out among thousands of people".
But from another perspective, this nationwide recruitment of actors is actually a small talent show.
However, for Watanabe Manyumi, what she is looking at is not the small role of "Student A", nor the teachers of other subjects who play supporting roles, but the starring role of this TV series.
Today, in her agency, there are both popular actresses who have already established themselves, as well as popular actors who are in urgent need of more exposure to their works and get to the next level.
The relationship with TV Asahi is good, so when it comes to fighting for starring opportunities, it will be given priority.
…
For Shinichi Iwahashi, the head of a record company, even if he pays attention to a TV series, what he needs to pay attention to is whether the theme song of the TV series will be available to his own company's singers.
However, striving for the lead role in a TV series and striving for the theme song of a TV series may not necessarily be incompatible. In fact, when the two are combined, "one plus one is greater than two" will be harvested.
"It's actually a very simple method."
Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi suggested, "Just like when a TV station proactively invites actors from the agency to perform, we can take the opportunity to negotiate conditions and ask the TV station to agree to allow the newcomers from the agency to also get a small role in the TV series.
"
When negotiating with TV Asahi, we discussed both the character and the theme song at the same time.
If it is agreed that an actor from Watanabe Manyumi's agency will star, then a GENZO singer will be the singer for the theme song of this TV series.
At first glance, it seems that Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi got double benefits. However, if the TV series theme song is distributed through TV Asahi’s publishing house, or the original copyright of the theme song is transferred to TV Asahi, it will be a big blow to the TV station.
On that side, there is an additional benefit.
If the production bureau has no special preference and requires that a certain actor must be used, but each agency relies on their own abilities, this method of giving away actors and singers in a package will be given priority by the television station.
The record company and the entertainment agency maintain cooperation. This method will allow GENZO to become a supporter of Watanabe Manyumi Agency at the beginning. But when the actors of Watanabe Manyumi Agency jump to the front line, the reverse will happen.
He became an actor in her agency and a supporter of GENZO.
Because, when fighting for roles, let the theme song become a weight to increase weight. This method is also used in reverse. When fighting for the promotion opportunity of the theme song of the TV series, it can also allow "their actors to participate"
"Performance" becomes a weight that adds weight.
For an actor who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of ratings, if the TV station wants to invite him to star in a TV series, he must pay extra conditions.
In this era where the TV drama theme song TIE-UP has become a good publicity opportunity and the record industry is prospering like never before, it is beneficial and harmless to maintain a good relationship between record companies and entertainment agencies.
As the world changes, all walks of life will be affected. TV stations are now in a stage of reform and change. It can be said that in recent years, the forces in the entertainment industry will be re-divided, and the influence of offices on TV stations will also change.
There will be changes.
At this juncture, it is time to find ways to expand your influence and get more and more cards in your hand. It is most undesirable to worry too much about gains and losses.
The necessary transfer of interests to the TV station and mutual cooperation with allied offices are very necessary.
Of course, when the division of power in the industry is completed and everything is settled, the situation will change again when negotiations with the TV station begin.
…
The waiter came in to change tea for them, and Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi also stopped talking and took a short rest.
This midsummer, Watanabe Manyumi is busy running the office and searching for new talents, while Iwahashi Shinichi is busy dealing with all kinds of big and small affairs. He is also dragged by the Recording Association to participate in various entertainment events. The two of them talk on the phone once a week.
We exchanged information, but we haven't seen each other for quite some time.
After GENZO joined the Recording Association, Shinichi Iwahashi's job content included "socializing with people from the Recording Association."
After he resigned as the president of GENZO, he took the opportunity to put down a lot of such activities. However, as a person who led the trend of the band's era, he hit it off with Tetsuya Komuro and launched a popular group. It seems that he has once again
Let a new trend begin to sprout. Once again he did something big, and Shinichi Iwahashi became the focus of attention once again.
To the outside world, what the public saw was the producer Tetsuya Komuro who was pushed to the front and stole the limelight.
But for the recording industry, what deserves to be taken seriously is Shinichi Iwahashi who brought Tetsuya Komuro to his side and achieved success again.
In this summer when TRF and Tetsuya Komuro are enjoying great success, Shinichi Iwahashi is also the focus of attention at the Recording Association’s entertainment.
Iwahashi Shinichi casually mentioned this to Watanabe Manyumi, which actually made her laugh.
"It's as if I said something that I haven't seen in the world." Shinichi Iwahashi was not so much sarcastic on himself as he was sarcastic on Watanabe Manyumi.
Hearing the implication of his words, Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled and asked, "Why do you think so?"
...I just barely said "Shen Yijun feels uncomfortable himself, so he doubts others".
There are some things that you should not answer if you can. Arguing with Miwa-chan will only lead to a free cross talk. However, if you want to face Watanabe Manyumi, you will most likely be defeated by her in just a few words, and in the end you will have to surrender.
Son.
Iwahashi Shinichi is extremely self-aware, and Watanabe Manyumi is unwilling to pursue him any longer.
However, it is undoubtedly a good thing for GENZO to be able to handle the relationship with the Recording Association. Watanabe Wan Yumi just remembered that her father Watanabe Shin once held an important position in the Recording Association, so she smiled that way.
Iwahashi Shinichi is ambitious and challenges Ikuo Suho. He must be aiming to dominate the industry. Perhaps one day, he will also take up an important position in the Recording Association and participate in formulating the rules of the recording industry.
From this point of view, Shinichi Iwahashi's resignation as president of GENZO Records gave him such freedom.
Watanabe Manyumi suddenly remembered the wedding conference between him and Nakamori Akina. When a reporter asked Nakamori Akina how she called Shinichi Iwahashi in private, one of the answers she gave was: "President-san."
While secretly praising Shinichi Iwahashi's clever move of resigning as president, he remembered Akina Nakamori's innocent reply. In her heart, Watanabe Manyumi thought this association was strangely interesting.
But Shinichi Iwahashi could not know the reason for Watanabe Manyumi's sudden smile.
