When Masaki Yoshida commented that Shinichi Iwahashi's concerns were unrealistic, the reason why Watanabe Manyumi chose to remain silent was because she had her own opinions on the concerns raised by Shinichi Iwahashi.
In other words, although she calls this "worry," Watanabe Manyumi does not think that Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned this out of worry. In fact, this is simply part of Shinichi Iwahashi's outlook for the future.
He did not mention this matter to Watanabe Manyumi to come up with a coping strategy, but to communicate with her about future development. However, when Watanabe Manyumi mentioned this matter, Yoshida Masaki failed to understand the true meaning of it.
.
But this does not mean that Masaki Yoshida is short-sighted.
Firstly, the situation envisioned by Shinichi Iwahashi is indeed very far away. Secondly, Japanese newspapers and media are colluding with each other to firmly control and block the mass media. Even if the mass media usher in innovation,
It is difficult to break through such a blockade.
In fact, after the birth of the Internet, various TV stations unanimously issued bans on new media advertisements. It was not until the 1990s that the wave began to emerge, and relevant controls were relaxed.
Compared to Masaki Yoshida's disapproval, Shinichi Iwahashi might have made a fuss. It was as if he was a foreigner who had not yet understood the essence of Japanese media.
Even if there are any disruptive changes in the mass media in the future, unless the wave is so strong that it is unable to stop it and breaks through the obstacles in one go. Before that, there is no need to consider whether it will be impacted by a strong enough force.
Of course, Watanabe Wan Yumi also knew in her heart that blindly blocking the closed environment, if the new changes were to break through the obstacles with the unstoppable momentum of the old forces, then it would mean instantaneous collapse with a single blow.
That is what Shinichi Iwahashi said, the entertainment industry will be "strongly impacted".
Shinichi Iwahashi assumed that this impact was strong, which meant that he understood the essence of Japanese media.
In fact, when Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned this possible future to Watanabe Manyumi, it would be better to say that he sent her another invitation for future cooperation.
Based on the fact that "mass media will undergo disruptive changes in the future", we will start working hard on this. In the future, when such an era comes, the two of them will be able to seize the opportunity again and again.
Seizing one opportunity can ensure stable development for ten years.
It is not about being the one to break through the siege, but to be prepared before that era really comes. And Watanabe Productions, a veteran force, can still provide solid assistance when necessary.
It can even be said that standing with Watanabe Productions ensures that Shinichi Iwahashi will always be "one of his own" in this industry.
In the future, Shinichi Iwahashi will hold an important position in the Recording Association, and as GENZO develops and grows, he may not become a senior executive of the Recording Association and participate in formulating the rules of the recording industry. He has the ability and courage to challenge the order, but he is already a part of the order.
.
In the future, his and Nakamori Akina's children may follow their mother into the entertainment industry, or they may inherit Iwahashi Shinichi's career.
When Watanabe Wanyumi thought of this, what flashed through her mind were fragments of memories from her childhood.
"I can have another drink."
Watanabe Mizuo spoke in a leisurely manner, and started mixing drinks for herself. She didn't care about her daughter Wan Yumi's silence, but she didn't mean to be aggressive.
Watanabe Wan Yumi said at this moment, "Mother has understood it a long time ago."
"What do you understand?" Mizuo Watanabe was calm and collected, showing a hint of an old naughty child.
Looking at her mother like this, Watanabe Wan Yumi couldn't help but smile. She then thought that, as her mother said, cooperative relationship is the most important.
Iwahashi Shinichi is a person who can challenge the order, and now, this person is also in this order. No one can achieve long-term results better than cooperating with such a person who knows everything well and has outstanding abilities.
It was successful.
Watanabe Manyumi knew that her mother had a sophisticated vision. Although her mother no longer had the energy to pioneer and innovate to face the ever-changing industry, she also lost her sense of following trends. However, her mother knew best what the human heart was like.
Despite this, there was still an inexplicable sense of sadness passing through Watanabe Wanyumi's heart. It was not something that could not be let go, it was just there. And then, this sense of sadness disappeared without a trace.
"Aren't you going to have another drink?"
Mizuo Watanabe tried to persuade his daughter like an old naughty boy.
Watanabe Wan Yumi looked at her mother and smiled again.
The mother and daughter were leisurely and comfortable, drinking whiskey. Watanabe Mizuo was in a good mood. She talked with her daughter about the current direction of TV drama production and the impact of the bursting of the bubble on the world. Practitioners in the entertainment industry seemed to be just creating entertainment.
But in fact, entertainment is society.
To entertain the public, practitioners in the entertainment industry must have a serious attitude.
Watanabe Mizuo remembered that Yoshida Masaki mentioned that Iwahashi Shinichi's capable staff was now seconded to Fuji TV. She was curious about this matter, so she mentioned it to her daughter, "Does Iwahashi intend to get closer to Fuji TV?"
At the family dinner, the Watanabe family sat together and talked about major and minor issues in the industry. But after that, the two daughters of the Watanabe family talked with their mother in private.
However, the two daughters of Yoshida Miki and Watanabe Manyumi have different tasks, and their conversations often take different directions.
Watanabe Manyumi understood immediately when she heard it, "Mother was talking about Iwahashi sending Mito Iijima to join Fuji TV."
Mizuo Watanabe asked her, "Have you seen that Iijima-kun?"
"She worked as a driver for Iwabashi for a period of time." Watanabe Manyumi thought for a while, "She is taciturn and only keeps her head down when doing things." Watanabe Manyumi realized that her mother cared about this Iijima Sanchi, and subconsciously thought about this person's resume.
special features.
However, Mizuo Watanabe was thoughtful and said with a smile: "It sounds like he is a future star who is valued and trained by Iwahashi." Such words may not be without a hint of respect for Shinichi Iwahashi who was not present.
of ridicule.
It is impossible to guess what Shinichi Iwahashi was thinking.
With Watanabe Mizuo's many years of experience and perspective, when looking at Iwahashi Shinichi and Iijima Sanchi's arrangement, she instinctively feels that there is something complicated in it. However, it is not so much that she really saw something, but rather that there is no evidence.
Intuition. Until Iwahashi Shinichi reveals more about his plan, everything is just a guess.
However, Watanabe Mizuo did not just make fun of Mizuo Iijima by commenting on him as a "future star".
If Iijima Sanchi is a future star that Iwahashi Shinichi values, then just by looking at Iijima Sanchi's future movements, we can see the real plan behind Iwahashi Shinichi.
After Shinichi Iwahashi resigned from Watanabe Productions, Mizuo Watanabe did not have a long face-to-face conversation with him. Most of the information about this young man’s movements came from the words of others.
But this does not prevent Mizuo Watanabe from secretly deducing in his mind and observing quietly.
