Kenichiro Nozaki took the initiative to mention the Grand Prize and revealed an important piece of information.
This means that Akina Nakamori listened to his words and chose to believe the firm. Because of this, the ball was in Kenin's court.
Iwahashi Shinichi knew it all.
"That being said, the firm's position is somewhat difficult." Kenichiro Nozaki spoke vaguely and half-covered. In the end, he felt that it was not honorable to let his singers take the blame while trying to push things along.
Nakamori Akina decided at once that the things that were originally supposed to be shouldered by her were handed over to the firm instead.
It’s not hard to guess what Kenyin’s thinking is. On the one hand, he wants to stabilize Nakamori Akina, but on the other hand, he doesn’t want to offend the entertainment industry in this matter. However, because of Nakamori Akina’s unexpected choice, he is somewhat concerned about the grand prize.
Three consecutive victories.
A kind of "I want it all but I better not suffer the consequences" mentality.
But if necessary, start getting rid of the less important items.
When he first mentioned the Grand Prize to Nozaki Kenichiro, because he was not sure about Nakamori Akina's thoughts, his plan was missing the most important link, so he only spoke half of it. Now that things are developing as he thought, then,
Only half of what you said can be completed.
Thinking of this, Iwahashi Shinichi said: "Your office will take action later, no, it should be said that it is better to hold back and not take action first."
"What?" Nozaki Kenichiro was shaken by his meaningless words and looked confused.
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled instead, "Seriously, don't you think this year's Grand Prize is very interesting? The whole incident is being leveraged by various parties, and so far, no one has really taken action."
Yes, in this case, everyone made plans based on imagining what the other person would do, Enka Pa, Johnny, Kenin, and now even Iwahashi Shinichi is no exception.
But this is not a bad thing. On the contrary, this ambiguity and opacity make it more suitable for manipulation.
"The Enka School wants to borrow the strength of Johnny, and Johnny wants to borrow the strength of the Enka, and your office also wants to borrow the strength." Shinichi Iwahashi said this, and his tone paused.
Kenichiro Nozaki felt a thump in his heart, feeling guilty that he had seen through the office's disgraceful ideas.
Iwahashi Shinichi teased him lightly, but remained calm, as if nothing happened, and continued calmly, "Leverage the strength of both of them."
"What do Iwahashi-san mean?" Nozaki Kenichiro breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ituki-san still wants to retain dignity and doesn't want to do something too ugly. In this case, they won't ask you to come and express your position and say, 'Our Akina-san will withdraw.' So, what do they rely on to proceed?
Judgment and then reassurance? That’s Johnny’s attitude.”
Johnny is still slowly testing the waters now because Akina Nakamori's attitude is not yet certain. If Akina Nakamori doesn't quit, then no tricks can be used. But once they are convinced that Akina Nakamori has figured it out, their policy will change. If Johnny's countertop
The next movement suddenly became violent, which was sending a signal to the Enka Sect.
"A single that has only sold 180,000 copies is competing for major awards, but it still treats Akina-san as its close enemy. Johnny's side must be quite confident that they can make a comeback from Itsuki-san."
Let me talk about the selection criteria of the Grand Awards. It is not a final decision based on sales volume, but a manual selection. In other words, the shortlisted singers will be selected by the jury based on various data to determine the most justifiable one.
Human selection also leaves room for manipulation.
The reason why we have to find a way to get Nakamori Akina to withdraw is because as soon as she appears, the room for operation will be automatically erased by her results, and we can only act according to the results.
But if the person who is favored by the public withdraws, the reviewer will be able to amplify his or her "subjectivity".
There are thirteen judges for the Grand Prize, and if we can win over seven, then Kondo Masahiko will be able to win this award.
However, the Enka faction is very proud, that is, they are confident that at least seven judges will side with Hiroshi Itsuki. In this case, with the intensity of Johnny's activities, it is inevitable that his activities will affect the people of the Enka faction.
A reasonable guess is that if Johnny really has that confidence, maybe some of the people who originally supported the singing school will rebel...
Then, Hiroshi Itsuki would realize that after their apparent enemy Akina Nakamori withdrew, Johnny, an opponent they did not take seriously, was their real thorn in the side.
"So, all Yanyin needs to do is stay put. Once the enka faction's bottom line is touched, they will find out who the real enemy they need to be wary of is."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled slightly, "When that happens, I'll have to ask Itsuki-san to make the choice again."
Just like forcing Kenin to make a choice, they forced Enkapa to choose whether to let Akina Nakamori, who is powerful but looked down upon by them because she is a female idol, win the historic third consecutive championship, or whether she should be looked down upon by them and even stab them in the back.
Knife junk gets a prize.
In this battle, where no one wanted to end the fight on their own initiative, and everyone imagined what the other would do and acted, what Shinichi Iwahashi did was to force these people to make a decision.
And as long as you start taking action and making decisions, there will be loopholes to exploit.
Akina Nakamori has won the Daisho three times in a row, and the Daisho is still a Daisho. But if Masahiko Kondo wins the Daisho, the Daisho will be worthless and meaningless from now on.
"This..." Isn't this a gamble?
Kenichiro Nozaki's words came to his lips but he didn't say them out.
"It's true that you are gambling." Iwahashi Shinichi saw through his thoughts and took the initiative: "Actually, this grand prize is originally a gamble. You might as well regard this as a game of drawing ghost cards. In everyone's mind,
Calculate the cards the opponent may have, and draw the cards away from the opponent's hand one by one."
"Then, let's see who reveals his cards and leaves first, and who unfortunately becomes the ghost."
After hearing this lofty argument, Nozaki Kenichiro smiled and said, "That's true." After thinking for a while, he then asked: "But, assuming things develop as you imagined, and Enka is aware of Johnny's threat,
What role does Yanyin play?"
"The Akina Sauna Grand Prize is well deserved. If she wanted to win the prize, she could have done nothing. However, she still had to do one important thing after studying the sound."
"Oh?" Nozaki Kenichiro felt that this was the key.
What he wanted to know most from Iwahashi Shinichi was how Kenyin was going to become this fisherman.
"Prepare a step for the enka school." Shinichi Iwahashi revealed the answer.
He did not overestimate the moral integrity of all parties. On Johnny's side, Kosugi Riu's viciousness opened his eyes. He was just waiting there with his feet up, just in case someone jumps over the wall and threatens Akina Nakamori.
