1401. Meeting the Challenge

The wedding announcement banquet was coming to an end. The groom and the bride left and began to prepare for their wedding trip. The guests in the banquet hall also started leaving one after another since just now.

Friends who were close to the newlyweds came to see them off on their trip. Watanabe Wanyumi thought that she was not a friend who could go to the farewell scene. When the guests sitting at the same table with her also started to leave, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Kenichiro Nozaki, who was sitting at the same table, saw her getting up and came over to suggest to her, "Wan Yumi-senpai, how about having another drink?"

It is customary for a wedding announcement banquet to have a reception upstairs in the hotel for guests attending the wedding banquet.

Of course, Nozaki Kenichiro's drunkenness is not about drinking.

In a joking tone, he teased the tacit cooperation between Watanabe Mayumi and Iwahashi Shinichi: "Iwahashi-san is going on vacation. These days, Mayumi-san not only has to pay attention to the trends in the TV industry, but also the record industry."

Already."

Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled and replied: "I am a layman who doesn't understand music."

She keeps saying this all the time. In the past, some people might really believe that she was just a partner who silently supported Shinichi Iwahashi. But today, probably no one would believe this person who said with a smile that she was

A laywoman really lacks a keen sense of the record industry.

However, Watanabe Manyumi said that she did not understand music. The purpose was not to evade, but to show her support for Iwahashi Shinichi.

In a sense, showing support for Shinichi Iwahashi is to hide his own thoughts.

On one side, Shinichi Iwahashi is busy holding a wedding and enjoying his wedding trip. On the other side, TRF's single series project is coming to an end. Starting with a large-scale performance at Wangan Plaza, the popularity of this series of projects has been rising.

, the entire industry is deliberately avoiding the edge of this combination.

The end of this continuous single release project is a new album.

After releasing singles in a row, all the singles are then included in the album. This is the method used by Shinichi Iwahashi when he produced the planned album "Fusion". However, this new TRF album is a real album.

A new album, not a collection of singles.

Only the most popular combinations, only combinations that the public can buy without thinking, dare to do this.

But the fact is that with TRF's current popularity and the public's pursuit of the group, even an album of unknown quality will be purchased without hesitation.

The public's unhesitating attitude also comes from their trust in the talent of producer Tetsuya Komuro. A series of plans made by Shinichi Iwahashi are all designed to stimulate the public, test the public, and make the public "unconditionally" accept Tetsuya Komuro's music.

Matching the release of this new album is TRF's national tour. In the next few months, the group will be busy promoting the new album and promoting the concert schedule. Tetsuya Komuro, who has free time, is at the front of the queue

My job is to produce a new single for Ryoko Shinohara.

If Komuro Tetsuya can make popular a little-known artist like Shinohara Ryoko, who has no singing skills or talent, and only a few looks, then he can make anyone he wants popular. This is Iwahashi

Shinichi made a judgment from the beginning. He fully supported Tetsuya Komuro and praised him as a superhero, just to achieve this.

Kenichiro Nozaki is not an idiot. When he witnessed Shinichi Iwahashi supporting Tetsuya Komuro as the producer of Ryoko Shinohara, combined with the performance at Bayside Plaza starring Tetsuya Komuro, it was natural to see Shinichi Iwahashi's intention.

The new label jointly established by Kenyin and GENZO is an exclusive label for singers produced by Tetsuya Komuro. Kenyin will turn the resources of the music department to this new label. Kenichiro Nozaki certainly hopes that Tetsuya Komuro will soar to the sky. And than

Kenichiro Nozaki had an appointment with Sony's Shinohara Ryoko when he started recording, and it was natural that Nozaki Kenichiro was more concerned about the next newcomer after Shinohara Ryoko.

Shinichi Iwahashi put aside his official duties and left Japan temporarily. Kenichiro Nozaki was concerned about Tetsuya Komuro's future movements and also wanted to hear Wanyumi Watanabe's views.

However, Watanabe Manyumi did not change her usual attitude of "a layman who does not understand music" for Nozaki Kenichiro.

Kenichiro Nozaki hit a soft nail and smiled, "A layman who doesn't understand music is a partner of the most powerful independent record company now. Although Wan Yumi-senpai doesn't understand music, he has an excellent vision."

"Excellent vision, able to select suitable newcomers." Nozaki Kenichiro said.

Watanabe Manyumi ridiculed him, "It's because of your good taste in cooperating with Iwahashi. Is Nozaki-kun bragging?"

Kenichiro Nozaki's little cleverness didn't work out, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Seeing him like this, Watanabe Manyumi softened her attitude and joked with Nozaki Kenichiro, "Anyway, it would be too hard to start talking about work when you have just attended a wedding banquet and are still wearing a dress."

"That makes sense." Kenichiro Nozaki walked down the stairs and smiled, "At this time, I should have a drink and relax."

He suspected that Watanabe Manyumi was in a bad mood, and nodded as if to show her understanding. Watanabe Manyumi noticed this subtle attitude, which was a bit boring, but did not show it, and took the opportunity to talk about the subject.

In order to support Tetsuya Komuro in creating a new trend, Shinichi Iwahashi invested a lot of effort and resources.

However, Watanabe Manyumi noticed that although Iwahashi Shinichi had made unprecedented promotion efforts and fought against all opinions for Tetsuya Komuro, behind this full cooperation, Iwahashi Shinichi still had a rather ambiguous attitude hidden.

.

She was aware of this in her heart, which made Watanabe Wan Yumi reluctant to talk about things related to Tetsuya Komuro rashly. At least, she would not talk about these things when Shinichi Iwahashi left Japan and could not maintain communication with him for the time being.

At this time, someone from the industry came over and chatted with the two people. Watanabe Wan Yumi greeted the other party, and then took advantage of the situation to nod to Nozaki Kenichiro and say goodbye politely.

Today, Watanabe Wan Yumi and her sister and brother-in-law received invitations respectively. After entering the banquet hall, they acted separately. At this moment, after the party was over, the three of them came together again and left the Imperial Hotel together. It was still early and they could make it in time.

Before Mizuo Watanabe took a break, the family had a drink together and chatted for a while.

Sitting in the car, Yoshida Masaki, his wife, and his sister-in-law sighed, "After all, this is a wedding reveal party for the upstarts in the recording industry, and the singers will show off their talents."

Miki Yoshida took a serious look at Akina Nakamori for the first time. Although she was a star who became famous after her debut, she could only take a look at the signs of other firms from a distance. It was rare to have the opportunity to look at them so carefully.

She recalled the scene at the wedding announcement banquet, and somewhat understood why Iwahashi Shinichi chose a wife like Akina Nakamori. "Iwahashi's always boring look became more vivid at the wedding."

Masaki Yoshida said to his wife, "I think Iwahashi-kun has always been an interesting person." Masaki Yoshida had the opposite view than his wife. He felt that it was because Shinichi Iwahashi had always been interesting that he became so interesting.

Choose Mrs. Akina Nakamori.

My sister and brother-in-law have slightly different opinions, but they think of the same thing in a certain sense.

Watanabe Manyumi listened to the two of them talking about Iwahashi Shinichi's wedding, and found it interesting, so she couldn't help but smile. Her smile was noticed by Yoshida Miki, who was her sister. She was curious and asked her, "What is Manyumi-chan smiling about?"

Watanabe Manyumi looked at her sister and straightened her expression, "I was thinking that Iwahashi, that person, turns out to have two faces."

Yoshida Masaki and Yoshida Miki were stunned for a moment, and realized that she was teasing their conversation just now, and they both laughed. Yoshida Miki told his sister that BURNING's Ikugo Suho also attended the wedding disclosure party.

"Zhou Fang-san unexpectedly supported me." Yoshida Miki also knew that he was speaking ironically.

In fact, it is expected.

After the attack on Shinichi Iwahashi, Ikuo Suho used his influence in the media to minimize the impact of the incident. The wonderful thing about this incident is that it did not reflect the relationship between Shinichi Iwahashi and Ikuo Suho.

There was no friendship between them, but it was Shinichi Iwahashi who showed his power to the industry.

Given Ikuo Shubo's status in the industry, it would undoubtedly be detrimental to his face to bear such a breath. Because of this, he had to show that he admired Shinichi Iwahashi and was willing to be friends with him instead of being a quarrel with him.

enemy attitude.

However, with Shubo Ikuo's unyielding behavior, Iwahashi Shinichi would never become a friend with him from now on.

Ikuo Subo came to support Shinichi Iwahashi, and Miki Yoshida saw that the countdown to GENZ's public confrontation was beginning.

Yoshida Masaki agrees with his wife's judgment on Subo Ikuo's attitude, but he still feels that there is still room for improvement in the relationship between GENZ. In other words, Yoshida Masaki believes that if Iwahashi Shinichi and Subo Ikuo fall into hostility in a short period of time,

, it is inevitable to be at a disadvantage.

Watanabe Manyumi listened to the conversation between her sister and her brother-in-law and said: "The so-called challenge is originally the weak challenging the strong."

If the weak party wants to become stronger, it will inevitably touch the strong party.

There are not only two forces in the entire industry, the GENZ family. The two sides can never start a war when they are evenly matched. There can only be one strong enemy. Once you have a clear enemy in the industry, you must avoid making more enemies.

In this way, if you want to develop and grow, you can only actively target this only enemy.

Masaki Yoshida took in his sister-in-law's words, reacted briefly, and replied with a smile: "It seems that you and Iwahashi-kun are already confident."

There are no fools in the Watanabe family. However, the person who clearly revealed this was Watanabe Wan Yumi. After hearing what her brother-in-law said, she denied it, "I'm afraid only he knows what Iwahashi is thinking."

But Watanabe Mayumi is on Iwahashi Shinichi's side. Therefore, what Iwahashi Shinichi is thinking is both important and unimportant.



Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori flew away from Japan for a wedding trip. Their respective record companies and offices had to contact the media who had been waiting for a long time after the wedding announcement banquet, and send them a few photos of the wedding banquet, and

I communicated with the newlyweds in advance to confirm the content and cooperated with the media to release the news.

On Monday, the entertainment section of the newspaper published a large photo of the wedding scene jointly provided by the companies of both parties: the couple held a knife tied with a red ribbon and faced the cake tower at the moment when it slowly fell.

Only then did the public know that this super couple had completed their wedding in a low-key manner.

To be honest, there were 600 guests invited to the wedding announcement banquet. Before that, there had been some rumors. However, speculating and making a formal announcement to the world are two completely different things.

Over the years, top celebrities have broadcast their wedding ceremonies on television, and the public has long been accustomed to this repertoire. In other words, with the advent of the television era, it is common for public figures to make everything about themselves public. Audiences

I also find it a pleasure to peek into celebrities' private lives through television cameras.

It is human nature to gossip, and broadcasting a wedding ceremony is like watching a reality show.

Because they are accustomed to big stars showing their private lives to the public, and there are two super idols, Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko, as precedents, the public always has a conventional expectation to see this Taopusida wedding scene.

However, Akina Nakamori and Shinichi Iwahashi chose to get married in a low-key manner.

For the public, it was a bit of a pity not to be able to watch Taopusta and her famous producer boyfriend complete a lifelong event through the television cameras. However, after the regret, more

People showed their appreciation for this approach again.

A dreamy and luxurious wedding is certainly a wonderful event.

However, this newlywed couple chose to keep their private life out of the camera. This reserved approach satisfied the public's imagination of celebrities from another perspective, and satisfied the desire for a person who chose to be with the public when the golden age came to an end.

The imagination of stars who advance and retreat together.

In this time of panic, the public is eager for something good to happen.

She has gained happiness by becoming a star in the past golden age, which is a real comfort to the public. At the same time, because she only showed a corner of her wedding, the public will not be disappointed because of her.

happy but not angry.

When people only imagine a wedding through the words in the newspaper and a few photos, everything is full of warmth.



However, the typeface in the newspaper became vivid in the TV program.

In the morning news program, the newspaper that published the information about the wedding banquet of the two people was unfolded on the whiteboard. The newscaster pointed at the bold and eye-catching headline with the telescopic rod in her hand. As she began to explain, the TV set faced the audience.

, showed an exclusive behind-the-scenes photo of the celebrities who came to attend the wedding banquet near the Empire Hotel, responding politely in front of the camera.

If you can’t take photos of the newlyweds themselves, you’ll take photos of the celebrities attending the wedding.

Celebrities and entertainers who dress up for formal occasions show a different style in front of the camera than what they usually see on TV shows, providing a different kind of viewing pleasure for the audience.

What Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori declined were wedding photos, but after the wedding, they were not within the scope of the refusal. They couldn't take photos of their wedding ceremony and wedding reveal party, but they could take photos of their wedding trip.

Reporters lurked at the airport and took photos of Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori, dressed in casual travel attire, preparing to go on vacation.

"Congratulations on your marriage!" In the picture, the reporter shouted loudly to the two people.

Shinichi Iwahashi stopped, and Akina Nakamori bowed her head gently to the waiting reporters, mouthing: "Thank you, thank you for your hard work." After that, Shinichi Iwahashi gently hugged Akina Nakamori's shoulders, and the couple left quickly.

go.

The newlyweds who were unexpectedly photographed were polite and courteous, and the reporters stopped by and didn't bother them.

On the TV, the scene ended here, and the female host concluded with a smile as if she had witnessed a good thing: "No matter how many times I watch it, Iwahashi-san and Akina-san, these two are so well matched..."

Several middle-aged male news commentators solemnly echoed these words and sent their blessings. Commentators who can follow any news, this kind of scene is interesting to the audience.

The media showed their talents. Some focused on the celebrity artists who attended the wedding banquet, while others produced a review of the two people's process from public dating to marriage. They also took the audience to review Akina Nakamori's marriage failure at the concert.

Retirement announcement and the couple’s golden screen press conference.

With the efforts of the TV station, a wedding that is not open to the public can still become an entertaining program for the audience.

And witnessing a couple who have been blessed by everyone achieve true fruition, the comfort that the public gets from it is like rain soaking the land, it is natural and comfortable.



On the day when the media covered the wedding of Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori, GENZO ushered in its regular weekly meeting without the long-awaited Shinichi Iwahashi.

The highlight of this week is the release of the last single in TRF's continuous single release project. However, after the single continuous release project is over, we must immediately prepare for the distribution and promotion of the new album. The focus right now is,

Obviously we have to focus on this combination.

The larger the project, the more attention is paid to the specifications of the promotion. For a continuous project, not only do you have to worry about managing TV stations, radio broadcasts and other media related matters, but you also have to pay sufficient promotion fees to record stores and maintain constant communication.

.

After TRF's new album enters the promotion period, GENZO will cooperate with Sony and begin to prepare for the joint promotion of Tetsuya Komuro and Ryoko Shinohara. Tetsuya Komuro is not a GENZO cadre, unless specially invited by Shinichi Iwahashi, otherwise, naturally

He won't be there. He himself is not here, but the topics surrounding him are one after another.

However, although the success of TRF made Tetsuya Komuro famous, within GENZO, this success is regarded more as Shinichi Iwahashi's excellent vision.

The heart and soul of the record company, even if he does not appear in the meeting room, still makes his presence felt by those present.

Put matters related to Komuro Tetsuya after the initial communication, and the meeting will continue to move forward.

The upcoming November is the peak season for record releases of the year.
