In the evening, people attending the party gradually arrived.
It wasn't a big party, but there were more than a dozen people here, almost all of whom Shinichi Iwahashi didn't know. There were songwriters, producers, actors, and athletes.
Mori Shinichi's social circle is really wide, and by the way, Iwahashi Shinichi also broadened his horizons.
The last person to come is Mr. Ino. This guy likes to join in the fun and drink. He never misses any news at a party. However, today he comes with the girl and driver who used to follow him, Sakamoto, who carries bags and has a cute bun face.
Fuyumi no longer followed.
Sakamoto Fuyumi finally made her official debut in the first half of this year, around the same time as Iwahashi Shinichi retired from the club. As a novice student, her debut song was written by her teacher Mr. Ino Tamaki. Once it was released, the response was good, and she emerged as a new enka artist.
Now that I have graduated from school, my old life of serving tea and water for teachers as a driver has come to an end.
Shinichi Iwahashi and her met for a time, but they each took different paths, and I don't know if they will meet again in the future.
Zhu Yangongzhang still remembered the agent who helped him, recognized him, and said with a smile: "This 'Shen Yijun' is also here, long time no see."
He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "Shenyi" in front of Mori Shinichi and had a great time playing this joke.
After nine o'clock in the evening, people began to leave one after another. Watanabe Manyumi borrowed the Morishin family's phone number.
Both of them were invited guests, and there was no reason to leave one of them without drinking to be the driver, so Watanabe Manyumi arranged for a driver early in the morning and came to pick them up when they were about to leave.
After the driver arrived, Shinichi Iwahashi and Wan Yumi Watanabe also said goodbye.
Before getting on the bus, Shinichi Iwahashi was about to sit in the passenger seat when he was stopped by Watanabe Manyumi, "Let me sit in the back with you. I also want to talk to you about something."
"Okay." Shinichi Iwahashi closed the passenger door.
I thought Watanabe Mayumi was going to say something, but when she opened her mouth, the conversation was still about the Record Awards. Judging from her calmness when she was just listening, I thought she wasn't interested.
"Akinana-san will probably withdraw from the Grand Prize," Watanabe Manyumi said.
They are not fools. What Shinichi Iwahashi thought of, Watanabe Wan Yumi can also think of.
"Three consecutive victories have special meaning."
Iwahashi Shinichi was reserved in his words, but Watanabe Mayumi was direct, "Besides, it was a female idol who won the unprecedented third consecutive championship." When she said this, she herself felt ironic.
"However," Shinichi Iwahashi was thinking about another thing, "How can Akina-san withdraw from the Grand Prize? Even if she nods, it still depends on what the office says. Although she has a lot of autonomy in Kenyin,
However, I'm afraid she can't make a decision on such an important matter by herself."
"Kenyin is not easy to do either." Watanabe Mayumi explained to him the composition of the Music Association, the Composers Association, and the Grand Prize-making Association. People in the performing arts industry have a lot of say in this.
"It's okay for Johnny's side, but Ohki-san is also insisting, and Kenyin also wants to give way."
Yanyin started out as a music publishing company, and is still regarded as a music office, with its focus on singers. Without shifting to other fields, it is better not to offend the music industry than to win this historic three consecutive championships.
People with the right to speak are more important.
After all, although recording is a powerful thing, making money is the most important thing for the firm.
Awards are not just a competition between singers, but also a game between the agency behind the singer and the record company. Is it absolutely fair and just? It doesn’t exist.
Even if it is just a comparison of sales volume, and the gap is very small, if the company helps to buy back the company and turn defeat into victory, since it is real money spent, you cannot say it is cheating.
However, for Nakamori Akina, if she takes this step forward and achieves three consecutive championships, she can make history. Similarly, if she chooses to step back from this step, she may not have such an opportunity again from now on.
This is also her last and only chance.
"Ituki-san doesn't want to be a bad person, and there is no need to take action to be a bad person, but Johnny will definitely take action." Watanabe Manyumi said this, her tone paused, "Kondo-san is Akina-san's boyfriend."
"Oh." Shinichi Iwahashi responded coldly.
"My boyfriend is betting on an important prize for his career in the art world. Can you help him?" Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled, "If it were me, I would definitely refuse."
"If you don't refuse, it won't be you."
Iwahashi Shinichi believes that she is a clear-headed person who puts her career first. Of course, this kind of vigor and vitality that is full of professionalism and ambition is also the most charming thing about Watanabe Wanyumi.
"But Akina-san, that's not necessarily the case." Watanabe Manyumi said.
Thanks to the gossip tracking of weekly magazines, no one in Japan does not know the love process of these two people who were once regarded as golden boys and girls.
Kondo Masahiko made no secret of his impatience with Nakamori Akina in front of the TV cameras, but Nakamori Akina seemed unaware of this matter.
"What would Akina-san think if Kondo said, 'If I win the coveted grand prize this time, I will become an idol. By then, I can almost think about life-long events.'"
Watanabe Wan Yumi herself lacks this kind of experience, and her personality is far different from Nakamori Akina, but this does not prevent her from making such assumptions as a bystander.
You have already sacrificed so much, maybe there will be a turnaround this time? I'm afraid she thinks so.
As long as you have such thoughts in your heart, you are like a donkey with a carrot tied to its nose, being completely led by others.
"Not only that, if we put it another way..." Iwahashi Shinichi had a flash of inspiration, "If someone analyzes to her the fact that the industry does not want her to win the Grand Prize for three consecutive years, and then encourages her to follow the trend and act silently.
The woman who was supporting the man finally said to her, 'If you don't believe this, go discuss it with the firm and see the firm's reaction.'"
If Kenyin didn't want to offend the people at the Music Association, he would have pushed the flow and said that he respected Akina Nakamori's choice. At that time, all the things going around would have been concentrated on Nakamori Akina.
It was because she wanted to withdraw from the Grand Prize because she was in love and wanted to withdraw from the Grand Prize. She did this to support her boyfriend in winning the Grand Prize. It was her own stupidity and it had nothing to do with anyone.
It’s not that Daesang is dissatisfied with the situation of female idols winning three consecutive times, it’s not that Kenin wants to avoid the limelight so as not to offend others, it’s not that Johnny uses all means to fight for things that don’t belong to him, all of this is done by Akina Nakamori
One person has to carry it.
it was all your fault.
"Just thinking about that situation makes me feel numb." Watanabe Manyumi rubbed her wrist.
Iwahashi Shinichi also felt that this situation was terrible.
