Even Watanabe Manyumi can feel Kenichiro Nozaki's closeness to Shinichi Iwahashi. Of course, she also knows where the close attitude of Kenichiro Nozaki towards Shinichi Iwahashi comes from.
...In order to continue to cooperate more closely and long-term with Shinichi Iwahashi, I can consider the agency's signature star as my sister.
Of course, the truth is not that simple. But when Watanabe Mayumi watched Kenichiro Nozaki's behavior, he couldn't help but have a slightly evil thought in his heart.
At this celebration party held for Tetsuya Komuro, the three people stood together again and congratulated each other on the success of this performance.
Today, both Kenin and Watanabe are involved in the music label led by Shinichi Iwahashi and cooperate with him. Once, when Watanabe Manyumi introduced Shinichi Iwahashi to Kenichiro Nozaki, even though she knew Iwahashi better than anyone else
Despite Shen Yi's talent, he never imagined that there would be such a three-party cooperation situation today.
However, when I think about this person being Iwahashi Shinichi, and looking at how he got to where he is now, I feel that this is a matter of course.
As electronic dance music becomes more popular, the next most important thing is to strike while the iron is hot.
Therefore, this celebration party where three big figures were present at the same time was, on the one hand, a celebration to Tetsuya Komuro, and on the other hand, it was a verbal communication.
In terms of formulating specific plans, Nozaki Kenichiro, like Watanabe Manyumi, has the consciousness that laymen will not express opinions on expert matters, and will only provide relevant assistance when Iwahashi Shinichi needs it.
Only with such a cooperative relationship of unreserved trust can Iwahashi Shinichi be able to better demonstrate his talents.
When the celebration party reached the second half, people from related parties who came to participate began to leave one after another. Shinichi Iwahashi, Kenichiro Nozaki, and Manyumi Watanabe were also preparing to leave. Tetsuya Komuro, who was the protagonist tonight, remained as usual.
In the lively center.
At the entrance, GENZO executives acted as receptionists, bowing to every departing guest and giving gifts. If in the past, Nozaki Kenichiro took the opportunity to leave, Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi would have to find another place to chat.
It took a while, but today, Nozaki Kenichiro seemed to have made up his mind to act together with these two people.
"I just learned about a good store recently. Are Iwahashi-san and Wan Yumi-senpai interested?" Nozaki Kenichiro suggested to the two of them.
The person who answered was Iwahashi Shinichi, "I'm always happy to treat someone."
Watanabe Manyumi nodded slightly, meaningfully and slightly teasingly, "That's true."
Stingy and stingy, he never pays for anything out of his own pocket when he can get a meal, he usually takes other people's rides, and he beams when he hears there are gifts for him. This is the other side of Shinichi Iwahashi.
Shinichi Iwahashi expressed deep admiration for Watanabe Manyumi because he remembered the old events so clearly and made a light sarcastic comment when he was caught off guard.
However, Kenichiro Nozaki only heard that Watanabe Manyumi was teasing Iwahashi Shinichi, but did not know that Iwahashi-san was such a person. He achieved his goal, smiled broadly, and invited Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi to ride in his car.
…
Kenichiro Nozaki was not always so impatient, but the response to the performance at Wangan Plaza was unusually enthusiastic. Komuro Tetsuya and TRF were pushed to unprecedented heights. He was really curious about how to take this next step. Curious.
, there is still a bit of anxiety about the unknown.
In the eyes of Nozaki Kenichiro, there is huge heat, and what will happen next is still an unanswered question.
It's one thing to trust Shinichi Iwahashi in terms of cooperation, but it's another thing to have a certain understanding of Shinichi Iwahashi's next plan and be aware of it. Kenichiro Nozaki's attitude seems to be inconsistent, but it's actually normal.
.
Three people were sitting in a members-only club.
However, after leaving the celebration venue and entering a quiet and confined space, Nozaki Kenichiro became much calmer. He talked about innocuous little things and for a while, he was not in a hurry to ask the most important questions.
Kenichiro Nozaki wanted to consider the timing, so Watanabe Manyumi glanced at Shinichi Iwahashi and opened the topic. When she spoke, she mentioned not Tetsuya Komuro, but TRF, "...how will they make their next film release plan?"
Let’s talk about TRF first. Watanabe Mayumi’s angle. Iwahashi Shinichi was surprised at first, but also expected, and cast an approving look at her.
Nozaki Kenichiro rolled his eyes and decided to wait and see what happened.
"Although the industry generally believes that TRF is a group that became popular as soon as they debuted... Of course, from the perspective of popularity and sales, this is indeed the case. They won the sales championship at the same time as their debut and became a topical figure."
"But," Shinichi Iwahashi changed his mind, "It seems that the time for TRF to become popular is now, not at the same time as their debut." In other words, with the grand conclusion of the Wangan Plaza performance, TRF really entered the stage of becoming popular.
Red express lane.
At the beginning, they debuted as a disco dance group and opened up the situation through nationwide disco promotion. At that time, TRF and Tetsuya Komuro were still mutually successful. On the one hand, Tetsuya Komuro created this group, and on the other hand, this group
The group's popularity propelled Tetsuya Komuro to the position of a new producer.
And when the show with Tetsuya Komuro as the protagonist ended and Tetsuya Komuro became a hero in the eyes of the general public, the previous situation was reversed. The relationship between TRF and Tetsuya Komuro was no longer a mutual achievement, and TRF was no longer a hero.
A disco dance group, but the first character chosen and created by the hero in this wave created by Tetsuya Komuro.
As a result, TRF, as the first group produced by Tetsuya Komuro, will definitely gain more popularity than before.
As long as the trend remains unchanged, when a group of popular singers enters the explosive stage, there will always be a peak period of two or three years. In other words, TRF has just begun.
Because of this, when talking about Tetsuya Komuro, Watanabe Mayumi will first talk about TRF. Compared with those that have not yet been implemented and cannot be formulated into plans, TRF is the next most profitable cash cow and the core of all plans.
Although Watanabe Manyumi rarely gives advice on record company matters, she claims to be an outsider, but she actually has a thorough vision. Shinichi Iwahashi started to explain, and Kenichiro Nozaki was slow for a moment to understand the joints involved.
Iwahashi Shinichi was a little reserved when he said this, "Next, as a record company, the focus is to fully plan TRF's work plan within two years. Release of films, performances, advertising...every aspect."
As for what kind of newcomers will be selected again, that is Komuro Tetsuya's business. Iwahashi Shinichi flashed in his mind the appearance of Shinohara Ryoko who appeared backstage at the Wangan Plaza performance, but he did not mention Komuro Tetsuya's next plan.
.
Tetsuya Komuro fell in love with a female idol from Tokyo Dance Dolls. This was only established when Tetsuya Komuro personally sent the proposal to Shinichi Iwahashi.
Before that, Iwahashi Shinichi had thought that this had never happened.
Iwahashi Shinichi knew Tetsuya Komuro's narcissistic nature, so he suppressed his arrogance where necessary to prevent him from getting carried away. He also wanted to take care of his face as much as possible within the allowable range and let him decide.
It is up to him to announce various matters related to music production.
Shinichi Iwahashi, on the other hand, acted as a boss and collaborator who gave his full support without a second thought when he submitted the proposal.
Of course, the reason for deliberately concealing the existence of Ryoko Shinohara was not because Shinichi Iwahashi wanted to cooperate with Tetsuya Komuro to be an unknowing boss, so he kept it a secret from Kenichiro Nozaki and Manumi Watanabe.
The reason why he kept this matter secret for the time being was because he had other plans for this collaboration. And this plan could not be announced until Tetsuya Komuro picked up the production plan.
…
It makes sense for a mere Shinohara Ryoko to become the Cinderella chosen by Tetsuya Komuro. However, it is far from qualified for her to be able to bear the popularity of Tetsuya Komuro's trend. What's more, she is a female idol under Sony's EPIC.
The relationship between Tetsuya Komuro and Ryoko Shinohara is not clear. It doesn't matter that a talented and romantic man wants to flatter the person he likes.
Tetsuya Komuro, who signed an exclusive producer contract with GENZO, produces singles for members of Sony EPIC's idol group. To promote such a cooperation, Shinichi Iwahashi's intervention is indispensable. Similarly, it is also indispensable to play around with the specific profit distribution.
But this time, Iwahashi Shinichi's focus is not on the specific distribution of benefits. Compared with the various copyright issues that were focused on during the previous cross-company cooperation, this time, he wants to get more important and more important benefits from this cooperation.
Something grand.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Tetsuya Komuro also have a close relationship with Sony. With Tetsuya Komuro serving as a producer for Ryoko Shinohara, it is justifiable and a suitable opportunity to maintain a good relationship with Sony.
Although Tetsuya Komuro only had a record contract with Sony as a singer, and the producer contract had nothing to do with it. When Tetsuya Komuro signed the producer contract to GENZO, Sony was not unaware of it. However, as Tetsuya Komuro made great achievements as a producer
If it succeeds, Sony must face up to the fact that it made a mistake and let the big fish go.
Considering Sony's family's big business and consistent behavior, it's not hard to feel resentful about this.
What's more, Tetsuya Komuro's producer contract is in the hands of GENZO. This is an established fact. The trend of electronic dance music has now been completely ignited, which has already happened.
Under such circumstances, Sony does not need to focus on the fact that Tetsuya Komuro joined the GENZO series. In fact, this is the least important thing. It is better to look for opportunities that can be exploited through this relationship.
No matter how plastic the cooperation relationship between industries is, any relationship that can win cooperation and benefit both parties is a good relationship.
The same goes for Shinichi Iwahashi.
When Tetsuya Komuro jokingly proposed that Ryoko Shinohara be the producer, Shinichi Iwahashi agreed without hesitation and was willing to negotiate with Sony EPIC for this great opportunity.
Iwahashi Shinichi and GENZO started out as a band, launched a series of hit bands, and then launched a solo singer who made a sudden debut, and started the trend of electronic dance music. Over the years, they have been at the forefront of the record industry.
Although it is only a small independent record company, the number of best-selling singers it holds is unmatched by even some large companies in the industry.
The record industry is booming, and GENZO has accumulated considerable wealth in recent years, surpassing several established companies that have been in business for many years.
However, as an independent record company, GENZO still does not have its own independent distribution network, and the distribution rights of its singers' records still have to be entrusted to several large distribution companies.
As early as two years ago, when GENZO first started to develop, Iwahashi Shinichi had considered laying out his own distribution network in the future. Now, the time is almost ripe and planning should be seriously considered.
Rolling out a distribution network across the country is a huge project, and it will cost countless money. It is said that the distribution rights of GENZO singers' records are what distribution companies are scrambling to grab. Even if they don't have their own distribution network,
Does not affect the company's operations.
In fact, very few domestic record companies, large and small, actually have their own distribution networks.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi’s ambitions are not limited to the present, and his expectations for GENZO are by no means limited to just an upstart record company.
In the future, GENZO's business will definitely not only be related to records. This is the development law of record companies. As the scale grows, they will naturally get involved in planning under various trends. At that time, some businesses of affiliated companies will need to have their own
The distribution network can be implemented smoothly.
As long as this distribution network is spread out, it can do more than just distribute records.
And even if we don't consider these, just focus on the record industry. In the future, after entering the era of competition for resources and company strength, in order to start a singer war with other companies, powerful and independent of outside influence
Distribution and publicity will become a decisive and important part.
Iwahashi Shinichi even has plans to fight for the distribution rights of foreign singers in Japan and become the Japanese agent for foreign singers.
In order to become a first-class record company and completely get rid of the business model of a small workshop, it is almost time to start establishing this distribution network.
In the initial laying stage, not only does it need to burn money, but it also needs some other help.
If you want to make the other party willing and willing to help even though you know his plan, the best way is to offer benefits that you cannot refuse. And truly irresistible cooperation is to tie your own goals and interests together.
Tetsuya Komuro wants to be the producer for Ryoko Shinohara, which is a good opportunity.
Sign Tetsuya Komuro's producer contract, fully support him, and elevate him to a high position as a superhero. Shinichi Iwahashi wants to get more from him than what is on the table.
It was not convenient to say these words to Nozaki Kenichiro and Watanabe Manyumi for a while. At least, it was not convenient to say them at this moment. However, Iwahashi Shinichi had something to hide, but he could not hide it from Watanabe Manyumi.
Kenichiro Nozaki showed closeness to Shinichi Iwahashi, but in fact he lacked understanding of him.
Watanabe Mayumi remains calm but captures subtle things at any time.
