The answer I received from Shinichi Iwahashi surprised Watanabe Wan Yumi.
All along, Shinichi Iwahashi's aggressiveness and courage, as well as the results he has achieved, prove that if there is an unfettered stage, he will definitely be able to achieve great results.
Now, taking him out of the office, he no longer has to be suppressed by his seniority. From now on, the sky is high and the sea is brighter... Originally thought it was something that hit it off, Watanabe Wan Yumi didn't expect Iwahashi Shinichi to refuse.
The emotion and happiness that surged in her heart when she danced with him just now were suppressed at this moment. After the tenderness in Watanabe Wanyumi's heart receded, she returned to rationality and began to think about this problem.
Previously, the two showed that they had similar minds, looked at things, and acted in similar ways. Even when they communicated just now, they both saw that the future would be the era of the band. Watanabe Wan Yumi listed in her heart and Iwahashi Shinichi
Similar views, intended to prove that his invitation is reasonable and not abrupt.
However, after thinking about it, the confusion after being rejected by him gradually pointed to a fact that Watanabe Manyumi ignored.
That is, we still lack the necessary understanding of Shinichi Iwahashi and Wanyumi Watanabe.
To be precise, she was clearly aware of his talents. However, this kind of like-minded connection confused Watanabe Wan Yumi and made her forget one thing. She lacked understanding of "Iwahashi Shinichi".
She didn't understand Iwahashi Shinichi's goals and what he wanted.
A considerable part of this disappointment of getting an empty prize came from the fact that Shinichi Iwahashi showed a side that she didn't understand.
Watanabe Wan Yumi fell into silence, and Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't say anything else.
After this incident, the two of them did not stay outside for a long time. When they returned to the lobby, the song was coming to an end. While the band was taking a break, Kenichiro Nozaki and Director Hosoda’s daughter came over together. Director Hosoda’s
My daughter invited Shinichi Iwahashi, "I didn't catch you just now, why don't we dance together?"
She was keen on dancing, and was impressed by Iwahashi Shinichi, who was an outstanding dancer. He was not at all as reserved as when they first met... Of course, besides this, there were other reasons.
Iwahashi Shinichi glanced at Watanabe Manyumi. At this time, Director Hosoda's daughter had already put her hand on his shoulder.
The two walked onto the dance floor.
The waiter holding the tray came over, and Watanabe Wan Yumi brought another glass of whiskey to drink. Nozaki Kenichiro asked Watanabe Wan Yumi, "Where were you two just now?"
Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled slightly, "I suddenly wanted to enjoy the night cherry blossoms, so I asked Kamiwahashi-san to go watch them together."
"Watching the cherry blossoms at night? It's quite romantic. If I had known this, I would have followed you." Kenichiro Nozaki said with a smile.
What else should I say? Looking at Watanabe Mayumi's reaction, it seemed like she wasn't very keen on this topic. Not only that, but the atmosphere between her and Iwahashi Shinichi also changed, so she wisely took back what she originally wanted to say.
Flashdance
There are no real idiots here tonight, even the ones who are having fun are the hot and sexy escort girls from Ginza.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Director Hosoda's daughter were swaying on the dance floor, and the two worked in perfect harmony. Watanabe Wan Yumi was sipping wine while watching the woman's skirt fly. Every time she spun, the red shoes under her feet were revealed.
Not many people can look beautiful in red shoes. Although her appearance is not outstanding, she is youthful and surprisingly energetic when wearing red.
As they passed by, Watanabe Manyumi heard Director Hosoda's daughter ask Iwahashi Shinichi, "...Is that so?"
Iwahashi Shinichi's lips moved and he didn't know what he replied.
Watanabe Wan Yumi was a little concerned. While she was attracted by the events in the venue, she was also thinking about the conversation she had just had with Shinichi Iwahashi in the courtyard and Shinichi Iwahashi's response. She drank all the wine in the glass unknowingly.
Picked up another glass.
…
Hosoda Ayako was just twenty years old and studying at Musashino Art University. She told Iwahashi Shinichi while they were dancing.
"Are you an employee of Watanabe Productions?" Hosoda Ayako asked him.
"Yes."
After hearing this, Hosoda Ayako smiled ambiguously, "Is it just a staff member? Wanyumi-san even specially brought you to the reception."
After asking this question, she was immediately satisfied, as if the main purpose of inviting Iwahashi Shinichi was to inquire about this matter.
"How can you lie about such a thing?" Iwahashi Shinichi replied politely.
Even so, Hosoda Ayako's question also made his heart move, and he subconsciously paid attention to the edges of the venue.
Watanabe Manyumi accepted Kenichiro Nozaki's invitation again and walked into the dance floor with him. As she danced, she suddenly felt dizzy, as if she was drunk. She was lightly guided by Kenichiro Nozaki, and danced around and around.
The more it spins in a circle, the more uncomfortable it becomes.
As soon as the dance ended, he left him and returned to his seat to sit down.
Iwahashi Shinichi let go of Hosoda Ayako, looked at how late it was, and wanted to ask if he wanted to go back. When he came to Watanabe Wanyumi, he saw her sitting there with her chin in one hand, "You don't look good, no."
Comfortable?"
"Maybe he's a little drunk." Watanabe Wan Yumi lowered her voice and said to him alone.
Her face was pink, not like she was blushing after being drunk, but like she was ashamed of being drunk on such an occasion.
Iwahashi Shinichi expressed his understanding without saying anything, and just got her a glass of ice water.
After drinking some ice water and feeling better, Watanabe Wan Yumi said to him: "Let's go back, Iwahashi-san.35xs"
…
Iwahashi Shin placed Watanabe Mayumi in the back seat of the car and started the car.
When they arrived, the two had a lively conversation, but remained silent on the way back. Although Watanabe Manyumi was a little drunk and couldn't cheer up, it also had something to do with the previous conversation.
Once the night train is silent, the return journey will seem particularly long.
After driving on the highway, Shinichi Iwahashi was worried about Watanabe Wanyumi, but he broke the silence and asked: "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Watanabe Manyumi did not answer, but asked: "Did Iwahashi-san decide to stay in Watanabe to produce?"
"..."
Shinichi Iwahashi did not immediately answer this question.
Although Watanabe Manyumi was a little drunk, she was still sober. Shinichi Iwahashi's hesitation made her realize: "Could it be that you want to resign from Watanabe Productions?"
"I can't tell." Iwahashi Shinichi was vague.
Even if Misa Watanabe agrees that he will continue to work in Watanabe Productions, Miki Yoshida may not be able to tolerate his "Manyumi faction". Besides, once Watanabe Manyumi leaves the office, he will be left alone.
, I'm afraid it's difficult to walk alone. When the situation comes, it will be difficult to perform even if you stay there, so there is no need to stay.
Failure to answer "yes" is almost equivalent to "no", and Watanabe Manyumi already knew this.
He didn't stay with Watanabe to produce, nor did he go with her, so what was he thinking?
Also speaking in a hurry, Watanabe Manyumi blurted out: "Is it possible that someone from other things want to recruit Iwahashi-san?"
She regretted asking this question.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care at all and replied: "It's definitely not because of that."
There was no poaching from other agencies. Even with his current situation and his two previous achievements, if he left Watanabe Productions, it would not be difficult to find a job in another agency even without the introduction of Misa Watanabe. However, he did not
I plan to change jobs to another firm.
"Then...what do you think?" Watanabe Wanyumi was confused by him.
Iwahashi Shinichi asked, "What do you think?"
"I?"
"In what capacity do you intend for me to follow you and leave Watanabe Productions?"
Watanabe Manyumi was startled.
Shinichi Iwahashi asked a question similar to his mother's.
Indeed, regardless of whether Iwahashi Shinichi will become Watanabe Shinichi, now that he is fighting for Watanabe Manyumi, he is putting himself on top of her.
So what about the future? You can’t say what’s going to happen in the future.
Watanabe Manyumi suddenly realized that her wishful thinking was that she was imagining the invitation made by Shinichi Iwahashi who had the same idea as her.
Now he is very compatible with Watanabe Manyumi, but once changes occur in the future, he will still have to fall into passivity. If he leaves her as a subordinate and his future depends on her, Iwahashi Shinichi cannot do it.
Having already tasted the feeling of being constrained, Shinichi Iwahashi wanted to hold his own destiny in his own hands more than believing that others would always be a boon and confidant.
However, if he is a collaborator, what will he use to invest in it? He can't just leave it empty handed.
Wait, a white wolf with empty gloves?
The little light bulb in Shinichi Iwahashi's head suddenly lit up, just as he was thinking over and over the choice that Misa Watanabe gave him.
It was the faint brightness of this small light bulb that gave him the determination to say "no" to Watanabe Wanyumi.
"I know that working with you is a good choice."
Now that things have happened, the two of them have opened up and started talking freely. Regarding this, Shinichi Iwahashi also admitted.
After talking to Misa Watanabe, Shinichi Iwahashi was thinking about this issue, "It's not that I don't want to work hard with you, I just want to consider another way of working hard."
"Another way?"
"Yes." Iwahashi Shinichi replied, recalling the idea that just popped up in his mind.
Hearing what he said, Watanabe Wanyumi felt relieved, "What are you going to do?"
"You found a goal to work for, and I also found something that can be sold." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
Just like Watanabe Wan Yumi firmly believed in independence because she found this goal, Iwahashi Shinichi also wanted to take this step because he found the goal of his next efforts.
"It's 'the band', right?"
"Yes. To be precise, I think there will be a golden age of D next." Shinichi Iwahashi had no intention of hiding his thoughts in front of Watanabe Wan Yumi.
"How do you say it?" Watanabe Wan Yumi was very interested and became more energetic.
Nowadays, the record market is obviously declining year after year. Strong players such as Akina Nakamori and Fanggezi Band are unable to change this situation. Last year, the number one record on the album chart was only over 500,000.
However, under such circumstances, this person asserted that the future would be a golden age of music.
"Now, the record market is indeed declining year by year, but I think it will soon usher in a new round of rise. The reason for this assertion comes from a statistics."
"Last year, d's production volume surpassed lp's, becoming the top shipment among various media."
"In fact, d has natural advantages among various media media." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
"The sound quality of lp is undoubtedly better than that of d, but it is not convenient enough, and the debugging of vinyl record players is also a big problem. Although tapes are convenient, compared with d, the latter's technology is more advanced and the music distortion is lower. Of course
, it’s still the same problem, it’s more convenient to use a D player to select music than a tape.”
"So it can be said that d is a product between LP and tape, combining the advantages of the other two."
"Excluding these technical factors, as far as we are concerned," Shinichi Iwahashi said, referring to their status as industry insiders, "the production cost of d is low enough, so even producers will definitely favor it more in the future.
d. In order to promote it to fully occupy the market, various efforts will even be made."
Watanabe Manyumi listened very carefully.
She did not expect that Iwahashi Shinichi would view the next situation from the perspective of the media. But it was indeed as he said, the advantages of D were extremely obvious.
"It's very similar to when televisions first started to become popular among people," said Shinichi Iwahashi.
"Thanks to the Olympics, the number of televisions in Japan has increased significantly. But at that time, many people did not believe that the next era of television would come. Watanabe Shinso, your father, saw the potential of television and worked hard to
After entering this industry, I became very successful.”
The background of the era is also similar. When the television era came, it was Japan's first golden age of economic take-off. But now, the background of the D era is the bubble era that boiled after the signing of the Plaza Accord.
"Yes." When mentioning her father, Watanabe Wan Yumi nodded. She couldn't help but feel in her heart that Shinichi Iwahashi, who was now firmly talking about the future D era, was similar to his father in behavior.
"So, now is the time to seize D."
Iwahashi Shinichi vowed, "The advantages of D are very obvious. Record companies think so, and the public after comparison will also think so. In the future, even the equipment in cars will change from tape players to D players."
"Besides, if we enter the era of bands in the future, bands will not be like idols and cannot participate in music programs intensively every day. If you want to hear their songs, you will have to pay for them. Therefore, the sales of records will definitely rise."
"As a result, the music market will usher in a big change."
Watanabe Manyumi saw a small flame of ambition in Iwahashi Shinichi's summary. This revealed ambition surprised Watanabe Manyumi.
After the conversation started, the two people began to talk freely again, and everything they talked about was centered around this common goal band.
When we arrived in Tokyo, it was already late at night. After getting off the expressway, Shinichi Iwahashi asked Watanabe Manyumi: "Where is your home?"
Watanabe Manyubi reported an address in the direction of Yotsuya.
Shinji Iwahashi drove over, thinking it was the Watanabe house, but it turned out to be a high-end apartment.
