There was something in Shinichi Iwahashi's words, and Kenichiro Nozaki was not a fool and could hear it.
He originally thought that Iwahashi Shinichi would continue to expand on this topic, but in the end, he did not continue, but simply transferred the matter.
Watanabe Manyumi also found it strange that he was the one who cared about the Grand Prize, and he was the one who kept silent now.
In the middle, Nozaki Kenichiro left the table to go to the bathroom. When they were alone, Watanabe Manyumi asked him, "Why did you only say half of what you said just now?"
"Is it so obvious?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked.
"It's just a matter of saying 'I have a backup plan' written on my face."
Iwahashi Shinichi's expression was subtle, "Can you please give up the strange idea of writing on my face?"
"Before that, can you please tell me completely?" Watanabe Wan Yumi counterattacked.
Iwahashi Shinichi was completely defeated and honestly confessed, "I'm not trying to show off. There is no such thing as an idea that is 100% successful. It's just that both Goki-san and Johnny were very satisfied, so they thought,
Maybe we can find a loophole instead."
Johnny was bound to work for Kondo and regarded Akina Nakamori as an opponent that had been banned. Hiroshi Itsuki regarded Akina Nakamori as his opponent and wanted to use Johnny's help to get rid of this powerful enemy.
However, since Johnny dares to compete for the grand prize with 180,000 copies, since he dares to operate it, it means that Johnny has the backing to ignore the sales gap between it and Hiroshi Itsuki.
The more incredible something is, the more precautions should be taken.
Their idea of letting Janis deal with Akina Nakamori may not work out as they wish. A fully drawn bow may not hold anything, and if the string is released with an empty string, it will only kill itself.
"However, I don't want the bow I drew to be released with an empty string." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "So, I didn't tell Nozaki-kun what I thought just now. Because I don't know Akina-san's own thoughts yet.
"
"If she is willing to withdraw from the Grand Prize and support Kondo to win the prize, no matter what the result is, there is no need to continue."
He wanted to do something for Nakamori Akina because she felt that her sacrifice in the game between the school and the agency was not worth it. However, if she has a positive attitude towards giving up the grand prize, it means that she thinks that her contribution
It’s worth it. Even if you offend the industry, the worst thing you can do is go home and raise your husband and raise your children.
If she really thinks so, then she can do whatever she needs to do.
Shinichi Iwahashi told Kenichiro Nozaki this to confirm Kenin's thoughts. However, after Kenyin's thoughts, what was even more important was Nakamori Akina's thoughts.
In other words, if we want to win the Grand Prix three times in a row, this is not what Shinichi Iwahashi should say, but what Akina Nakamori should say.
…
Recently, Akina Nakamori often thought about being able to meet Shinichi Iwahashi again.
Even she found it incredible to have such a thought in her mind. Until now, the encounter between the two had been accidental, without the constraints of an agreement, and they had always maintained a hazy distance.
Despite this, this mode of getting along is like turning over cards with unknown answers, giving her a sense of adventure and expectation.
Although a relationship is free without having to agree on a time and place for the next meeting, once the thought of meeting immediately arises, one realizes the weakness of this relationship.
If Shinichi Iwahashi leaves the entertainment industry or changes careers to engage in entertainment other than music, the connection may be severed.
Nakamori Akina's negative thoughts were entangled with something that had been bothering her for a while.
This year's career continues the glory of the previous year. At the end of the year, various awards are coming one after another, and the most important Record Awards are no exception. For singers, among the various awards, this award is probably the most sacred.
.
When she won the Grand Prize in the first year, she felt a sense of satisfaction that her long-cherished wish had been fulfilled and that her career had come to an end. When she won the Grand Prize again in the second year, she felt honored and realized that the Grand Prize was not the end, but a new starting point.
This year, it is possible to achieve three consecutive victories that no one has ever achieved before... It is impossible not to be excited.
Without ambition, relying solely on her mother's expectations of her and her desire to improve her family's circumstances, she would not have been able to reach this point. It is because of her enterprising spirit that she has the inspiration and courage to try in many ways.
However, along with the unprecedented success and unprecedented achievements, there was also the persuasion of director Riuzo Kosugi and the request of her boyfriend Masahiko Kondo.
Kondo Masahiko told her that he wanted to win the Grand Prize this year.
Akina Nakamori found it incredible. His tone, when talking about winning the grand prize, was like a child pointing to the toy in the window and saying "I want that" to an adult...as relaxed and casual.
It is obviously the highest award in the music industry.
And compared to that, how can she win the Grand Prize with 180,000 album sales? Even if she listens to Kondo Masahiko's persuasion and withdraws from the Grand Prize competition, she still knows that this is a fantasy.
If this is really done, Johnny's side will definitely use some shady means. At that time, either Kondo Masahiko's plan will fail even if he does this, or the fairness of the grand prize will be destroyed.
Nakamori Akina, who dreams of becoming a singer, feels that the Grand Prix is a sacred award. If she destroys its sanctity because of herself, then she herself will feel uneasy.
The Record Awards is a music program second only to the Red and White Song Festival at the end of the year. It attracts nationwide attention. Therefore, songs that win the Grand Awards will experience a wave of sales and popularity after the program ends.
This year, Kondo Masahiko's popularity is in crisis, and he may be trying to regain his momentum by winning awards. However, what is the difference between this approach and deceiving others?
Kondo Masahiko's request sounds arrogant and unreasonable.
However, when Director Kosugi tried to persuade her, he was talking about something else. He told himself that the Dai Awards might not want a female idol to achieve this unprecedented three consecutive victories.
According to Director Kosugi, under the guise of making way for Kondo Masahiko, he was actually making way for Itsuki Hiroshi, who was more likely to win the championship. Johnny and everyone else were just cooperating with the entertainment industry.
Kondo Masahiko did not really want to win this award, but to protect the face of the entertainment industry.
"With sales of 180,000 copies, how can I have the guts to win such a big prize?" Riuzo Kosugi said matter-of-factly, as if her idea that Johnny would use certain means was just random imagination.
He is the director of a record company. He is very visionary and opinionated in music, and he is also someone whom Akina Nakamori trusts. However, after hearing what he said, Akina Nakamori didn't believe it in her heart.
For no other reason than because what Kosugi Riuzo said was contradictory to Kondo Masahiko's attitude in front of her.
Kondo Masahiko, who talks about wanting a big prize, is like a naughty kid who won't give up until he gets his toy.
"Please think carefully, Akina-chan." Riuzo Kosugi said to her, "I will not hurt Akina-chan. I am telling you this now to protect you and find the best solution for you.
.”
"..."
Is this really protecting her?
At such a moment, Akina Nakamori suddenly wanted to meet Shinichi Iwahashi.
