"Lawyer Iwahashi is my sister." Faced with the female staff member's question, Shinichi Iwahashi replied.
"Why"
The female staff member seemed a little surprised and looked at him for a moment.
This reaction caught Iwahashi Shin's eye, and he asked: "Why, doesn't it look like it?"
"A little bit." The female staff member smiled slightly, moved her eyes upward, as if she was thinking about it, and added: "But if you look carefully, it's a bit like it."
Putting it this way, it sounds a bit like searching for common ground.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care. Even when he thought about his sister, he felt that the two of them looked nothing alike.
It's really hard for this young lady.
The phone rang again, and the female staff member put Shinichi Iwahashi aside and answered the person on the other end of the phone.
It was a very emotional phone call. Even if you couldn't hear the content of the call clearly, you could tell by the way the female staff member tried to comfort the other person. Having said that, people who would seek help from a lawyer would always be in trouble.
It's not surprising that there will be any reaction.
The female staff member finished the phone call and was about to talk to Iwahashi Shinichi. She was a little curious about Iwahashi Asahi's younger brother who suddenly appeared.
At this time, a woman wearing business attire and shoulder-length straight hair came over.
When the female clerk saw her, she took back what she was about to say and changed her words to greet her: "Lawyer Iwahashi."
"Shinichi?" Iwahashi Asako stood still in front of Iwahashi Shinichi.
In terms of age, Asako Iwahashi, who is ten years older than Shinichi Iwahashi, is already over 30 this year, but she looks younger than her actual age. She is of medium height, thin but not shriveled, with an oval face and a pair of bridges on her nose.
Glasses with transparent frames, the facial features are beautiful, but they look a bit bland. I don’t know if it’s because of my preconceptions about my career, but I look very aura. Even so, it doesn’t give people an intrusive feeling.
"Sister." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
The two sat down facing each other.
"The contract we talked about on the phone just now..."
Iwahashi Shin kept on going to the topic and introduced the ins and outs. After finishing speaking, he put the document bag containing the drafted contract on the table and pushed it gently.
Iwahashi stretched out his hand to Chaozi and took the document bag. Without opening it, he asked him first: "You opened a music production company? Shinichi."
It was said as a question, but the tone was affirmative. Iwahashi Shinichi never told Iwahashi Asako about opening a production company, but he mentioned it to Shizuoka's parents. It was 100% that he knew about it from his family.
"Yes. That's why there are contract issues to resolve." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
Iwahashi Asako didn't answer his question, but asked about his production company. Such as how much the registration fee was, how the equity was distributed, what the company's goals and business policies were, and what he had done in the next one to two years.
issues such as planning.
Regarding his sister's questions, Iwahashi Shinichi answered them truthfully. When he heard that he said that the current operating funds were obtained from land purchases and loans, Iwahashi Chaozi frowned slightly subconsciously.
Previously, Shizuoka's mother called Iwahashi Asako and told her that Shinichi had now opened a music production company.
At that time, Iwahashi Asako had just received the moving postcard from Shinichi.
When her mother talked about Shinichi opening a production company, she seemed very surprised. On the contrary, Iwahashi Asako was not surprised at all. Her mother always thought that this kind of calmness was due to her personality, but in fact, it was Iwahashi Asako.
I have an understanding of Shinichi’s observations since I was still in Shizuoka.
Her mother always felt that Shinichi's personality was too honest and introverted, but Iwahashi Asako believed that there was something restless in Shinichi's personality.
As for the evidence, it is that he has always been undecided about his future. After graduating from high school and deciding to go to Beijing, he did not choose to work in a company. Because of this, Iwahashi Asako had no interest in Shinichi doing something that had nothing to do with his previous life.
Not surprised.
Whether it is after two years of wandering, I joined a brokerage firm, or I resigned and started a production company.
Therefore, for such Shinichi, Iwahashi Asako never cares about his life. He has not even found his own way to go. At this time, it is superfluous to say or do anything to him. Iwahashi Asako does not do unnecessary things.
, sometimes it is not necessarily that a thing is superfluous to herself, but that it is superfluous to others.
But speaking of it, Iwahashi Asako feels that compared to "Iwahashi Shinichi", she may have set her life goals early and worked hard for them, and her personality is more honest.
After hanging up the phone with his mother, Asako Iwahashi thought for a while, wrote a postcard reply, and sent it back to the address on it.
At that time, it was not a surprise when she heard that Shinichi had opened a music production company, but now, after hearing with her own ears what he had done to buy land and take out loans to maintain the company's operations, Iwahashi Asako was really shocked.
I had known that there was an element of instability in his personality, but I didn't expect that this instability was symbiotic with another kind of all-or-nothing attitude that was determined not to look back.
Shen Yi is far more complicated than she has always observed.
Iwahashi Chaozi relied on his past observations of Shinichi to analyze what he was doing now, but little did he know that this Shinichi and that Shinichi were no longer the same Shinichi.
But it is also this kind of confidence in his own observations that makes Asako Iwahashi feel the subtle changes in Shinichi's mental outlook and behavior, but still thinks that this is "anything is possible" and is part of Shinichi's "unrest".
.
Iwahashi Shinichi answered the questions in a clear and logical manner, obviously thinking carefully and having a clear goal. Iwahashi Asako did not think that this was a whim or overestimation of one's capabilities.
But even so.
"Now you are basically relying on the connections you made as a manager to maintain the company," Iwahashi Naoko said.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "Basically, that's it."
"Then, just wait for the show you mentioned to start airing, and then fight for the opportunity to produce a single for a band that was eliminated in the first round?"
"That's a good opportunity."
Iwahashi Asako looked at him, "As a springboard, it's not bad. If it proceeds as you expected."
The program has its own topicality, and the rules of the game are that you can make a comeback if you sell 10,000 copies. It is also a natural chicken blood. As long as you produce a single in a satisfactory manner, you can get a promotion card.
The premise is to follow expectations.
"So, you just rely on your connections as an agent to do the work you are doing now, and then wait for the opportunity to fall on you?"
Iwahashi Shinichi moved in his heart and met Iwahashi Chaozi's gaze, "Of course that won't work. That's why we need to recruit composers, expand the company's music library, and make preparations."
Iwahashi Asako's words are on point. From production to uploading to broadcasting, there are still unknown prospects. If you only take on this kind of work that doesn't even count assembling parts, it's no different than hanging from a tree.
Both. He himself also knows that if he wants to make music big, he must be original.
Recruit songwriters and arrangers, and have the ability to completely produce songs, so that you can compete for outsourcing jobs.
Record companies sign countless newcomers every year, and there are dozens of groups that can debut. If there are those who are focused on training, there are second troops who are sent to the outside world, and there are also foils who are used as cannon fodder.
If you can provide lyrics, music and arrangement, and if you can also plan the route, you can be qualified to provide production work for newcomers or those who are not old enough. Only by doing original work and communicating more with record companies can you go further.
wide road.
After hearing what Iwahashi Shinichi said, Iwahashi Chaozi pondered for a moment, then picked up the document bag and said, "Let me take a look at this contract."
It seems that he agreed to help him.
Iwahashi Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief. Even if Asako Iwahashi didn't help, he wouldn't be unable to walk because of it. Therefore, it wasn't because he was relieved because one thing was solved.
But during this meeting and communication, I got to know more about Iwahashi Asako.
In the impression of "Shinichi Iwahashi", Asako Iwahashi is a person who never does unnecessary things. The two siblings are very different from each other in all aspects. However, now that he is here for this matter, Iwahashi
It's not surprising that Chaozi came to help, and the two of them didn't break off their relationship.
What surprised Iwahashi Shinichi was that Iwahashi Chaozi would remind him not to hang himself from a tree.
Judging from the behavior of this sister, she just helped him read the contract, and specifically reminding him of this matter is the so-called redundancy.
However, Iwahashi Chaozi reminded him specifically.
If she really doesn't do unnecessary things, it means that in her opinion, it is not unnecessary.
Iwahashi Shinichi recalled the postcard Iwahashi Asako sent back earlier, and seemed to understand a little more about her behavior.
For Iwahashi Asako, if what he does is meaningful to her, then she will not be stingy with her words. If it is meaningless to her, then taking action is the so-called "redundant".
If you want to win the favor of this sister and establish a good relationship with her, the secret may be to keep moving up.
Of course, Iwahashi Shinichi doesn’t think this is snobbery.
At this time, the female staff member just came over to call her, as if she had something to do. Looking at the time, it was already past the time Iwahashi Asako agreed on before she came.
However, Iwahashi responded to Chaozi, but did not stand up. Instead, he briefly reviewed the contents of the contract, then asked Shinichi Iwahashi several questions, pointing out the points that needed attention.
After such communication, she left the contract and agreed to contact him after drawing up a formal contract.
As soon as the business was done, Iwahashi Shinichi immediately said goodbye and did not drag her to talk more, which was exactly what she wanted.
Two days later, Iwahashi Shinichi received a call from Iwahashi Asako, went to her office again, and got a brand new contract.
When I visited again, the door was opened by the same female staff member I saw last time. The first time she came, she was "suspected to be a relative of Lawyer Iwahashi." When I visited again, it was "Lawyer Iwahashi's younger brother." The attitude of the female staff member also became more enthusiastic.
To be honest, in a place like a law firm, it's a little strange that the employees are so enthusiastic.
Therefore, it is not so much that we are enthusiastic about him because we know that he is Iwahashi Asako's younger brother, but rather that we know that he is not here for big things, so we can show enthusiasm despite it.
…
After the contract was prepared and both parties were satisfied after reviewing it, Seiichiro Kuribayashi officially became Genzo's composer.
After accepting him into the company, Shinichi Iwahashi first listened to the songs he had saved since he became a monk and studied music, and bought fourteen songs in one go.
If they were all included, it would be the size of an album.
Of course, that won't work. The album should consider the integrity and select from many songs instead of cramming them all in.
Yoshida Miwa's songs are not suitable for others to sing, but Nakamura Masato can write songs that are suitable for popular tastes. In addition to the stock songs from Arnormal, Genzo's current "music library" has about thirty songs.
It's a pitifully small number.
As Asako Iwahashi said, since the establishment of Genzo, the company can be said to have relied entirely on the connections Iwahashi Shinichi had accumulated as a manager. For the long-term, this certainly won't work.
However, in the short term, it is these connections that ensure the company's operation.
In the long run, of course, the road must be made wider and wider. No matter how thin a mosquito’s legs are, they are still meat. With the library, we will have the confidence to take orders.
Friends of friends may also become one's friends. Shinichi Iwahashi, who relies on his connections to keep his company running, also wants to rely on his connections to make new connections.
The next Friday, Iwahashi Shinichi stayed in Kawasaki's office and made phone calls all day long. In the afternoon, Akamatsu Haruko's class was over and he went to help.
Kawasaki's office is not big, but it is full of things.
The finished and semi-finished products made in the recording studio, as well as some useful materials recorded from TV, couldn't be put away, so they were all gathered here.
The two of them worked until evening, finishing work at almost seven o'clock.
While packing her things, Iwahashi Shinichi invited her, "Let's go have something to eat together later. It's getting late anyway."
Akamatsu Haruko nodded, "Yes."
After packing up their things and checking the circuit, the two of them went downstairs one after another and went to a nearby shop to eat. After ordering, Shinichi Iwahashi said, "I haven't thanked you yet for introducing Ribayashi-san."
"I'm supposed to treat you to dinner at a better place to say thank you," he said.
This was true. Akamatsu Haruko was dozing off and sent a pillow to Kuribayashi Seiichiro.
Hearing what he said, Akamatsu Haruko replied: "When you are hungry, anything you eat tastes good, and small shops are also good places."
"That's true." Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, "If I invite you back to Tokyo to eat now, you might still be angry."
"That's right." Akamatsu Haruko also smiled.
After eating, the two of them walked to the station together.
At this time, although the carriage was not terribly crowded, there were no seats.
The journey from Kawasaki to the center of the city was not short. Finally, when we arrived at the station, Akamatsu Haruko suddenly said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "Can you find a place to sit again? Iwahashi-san."
