A girl group with quite the style of Tetsuya Komuro.
Nagato Daiyuki seized the opportunity in the rolling wave of the band era. With his accumulation of band production and reference to trends over the years, he is now in charge of VERMILLION Records and has unlimited success.
What Baba Shunichi is doing seems to be following the path of success of Nagato Daiyuki.
However, band pop and Komuro pop are essentially completely different things. The former is a certain type of pop that can make a band bloom. But the pop created by Tetsuya Komuro is ruled by Tetsuya Komuro himself.
If Baba Shunichi was trying to imitate, he would definitely be nondescript.
Based on Iwahashi Shinichi's consistent impression of Baba Shunichi, I don't think he is such a short-sighted person. But if Baba Shunichi's move is not to launch imitations while the market is hot, then his real purpose needs to be considered.
After accepting the invitation, Iwahashi Shinichi went to the banquet as promised.
Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, they are still acquaintances after all. Moreover, both parties are well aware of the current situation. Both Iwahashi Shinichi and Baba Shunichi have a good understanding of each other.
Because of this subtle tacit understanding, the atmosphere of this meeting was not bad.
After the greetings, Baba Junichi introduced another man present to him: "This is President Taira Tetsuo of RISING PRODUCTION."
Iwahashi Shinichi nodded in greeting to Taira Tetsuo, and with a quick glance, he could still see the shadow of a Yakuza member in this man. Having dealt with the Inagawa Society for a long time, Iwahashi Shinichi knew a lot about the characteristics of "ungood people"
.
However, the point is not the origin of Taira Tetsuo, a former Yakuza member, but the reason why he appears here. The girl group SUPER MONKEY'S is the joint creation of Baba Junichi and Taira Tetsuo.
No matter what Baba Shunichi's real purpose is, Taira Tetsuo is his most capable collaborator.
…
The two parties exchanged cups and had a lively conversation, but they only revolved around unimportant topics. The host and guest seemed to be gathering together just to have a drink together.
Iwahashi Shinichi was invited, and the other party didn't talk about the topic, and he was not in a hurry. He just talked and laughed. He had no interest in exploring the purpose of this meeting, and he showed his attitude invisibly.
People in the industry don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Iwahashi Shinichi is so indifferent, but he is actually drawing a clear line.
Finally, Baba Shunichi and Taira Tetsuo exchanged glances, and the long-awaited greeting came to an end. He brought the topic to Komuro Tetsuya, and after a few compliments, he put forward his own request, hoping to invite Komuro Tetsuya to serve as his
The girl group serves as the producer.
Such a straightforward request was in sharp contrast to the previous implicit and ambiguous greetings. Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.
Instead of giving the singer's record contract to GENZO, he gave Komuro Tetsuya a production commission through GENZO.
Baba Toshihi smiled and continued: "Iwahashi-san is known in the industry for being good at promoting cooperation. If you can facilitate it, it will be another good thing."
Iwahashi Shinichi silently watched Baba Shunichi's performance.
The core of the popularity brought about by Tetsuya Komuro lies in Tetsuya Komuro himself. GENZO was able to benefit from supporting Tetsuya Komuro because it had a monopoly on Tetsuya Komuro's music production. The only time he produced music for Ryoko Shinohara in the early stage was just out of necessity.
After that, there will be no external concerns regarding contracts and favors.
If Tetsuya Komuro can produce singers for VERMILLION Records, then he can produce singers for any company in the industry. In this way, GENZO is equivalent to losing Tetsuya Komuro.
What Baba Shunichi made was an absolutely impossible request. But Iwahashi Shinichi didn't believe that this person didn't understand this.
I understand clearly, but I still have to mention it. And it seems that I am mentioning it just to rub someone in the face. Baba Junichi’s performance is not a “performance”, so what is it?
Iwahashi Shinichi knew that this person had ulterior motives. However, from the moment Baba Junichi made the request, there would be no second direction or second answer.
Thinking of this, he replied calmly: "There are established requirements for contract ownership. If we can get the singer's full record contract, then it will not be a problem to facilitate this matter."
Baba Toshiichi showed disappointment, "Other than that, is there no room for negotiation? If we can get Iwahashi-san's support, we will try our best to meet Iwahashi-san's ideas, including resource replacement." He changed his subject:
"Koizumi Kyoko can star in a movie. Isn't this a model of win-win cooperation?"
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, knowing in his heart that the reason for BURNING's change of attitude regarding Kyoko Koizumi's appearance in the movie was the person in front of him.
He remained calm and distanced himself from the incident, denying that he had benefited from it: "Mitani-san is Fuji TV's favorite. Koizumi-san can support Mitani-san. Fuji TV will probably have an impression of Koizumi-san."
The score increased significantly.”
When Baba Shuni heard this, he didn't get entangled.
Although Shunichi Baba was disappointed in this negotiation, Shinichi Iwahashi never won. Not only that, at the beginning of the banquet, Shunichi Baba seemed to be passive, but at this moment, he undoubtedly had the upper hand in making a comeback.
This sudden invitation ended in a subtle and unclear atmosphere. After bidding farewell to Junichi Baba, Shinichi Iwahashi sat in the car and fell into deep thought. During this meeting with Junichi Baba, the other party's behavior was full of dissatisfaction.
coordination.
Shinichi Iwahashi thought intently, picking up the scattered puzzle pieces piece by piece, looking at them, and trying to piece together the whole picture.
He thought of the girl group produced by Baba Shunichi who tried hard to be close to Tetsuya Komuro's style, and the absolutely impossible request made to him when they met tonight. Everything that Baba Shunichi did undoubtedly revolved around Tetsuya Komuro.
What did Baba Shunichi gain from tonight's meeting?
All I got was rejection - no, this rejection was what Baba Shunichi got. What Baba Shunichi wanted was Iwahashi Shinichi's personal rejection.
When Iwahashi Shin thought of this, he seemed to see the shadow cast by BURNING's actions.
BURNING has given up on tearing up the layer of cloth between it and GENZO by refusing Kyoko Koizumi to star in the movie. This does not mean that BURNING wants to maintain a superficial cooperation. Just as Shunichi Baba takes the initiative to discuss cooperation, what he wants is not to achieve the result of cooperation.
.
Putting the two things together, the answer is obvious. BURNING's idea lies with Tetsuya Komuro.
Iwahashi Shinichi was aware of this, but the shadow cast by BURNING's actions could not be caught or driven away. He could only see its existence. One cannot wave his fists at the shadow, and BURNING's plan was not as good as Baba Shunichi's.
No matter what, it's just a shadow now. It can be seen, but it's not really affected.
However, if he did nothing and remained indifferent while Shunichi Baba played a conspiracy and conspiracy in front of him, that would not be Shinichi Iwahashi's style.
He thought about it for a while and made up his mind. The next day, Iwahashi Shinichi called Mijima Iijima and gave her a task.
