He asked Watanabe Manyumi, "Do you have any other ideas?"
If DeramseTrue's management contract is in the hands of another agency, it would be a different matter. If it is given to U-Miz, a newly opened store, you must consider whether the record company and the agency are compatible.
On the premise of confirming the agency first, there is no need to worry about the four record companies that finally entered the finals.
Among these four record companies, Watanabe Wan Yumi did not have a particular preference for any one. Therefore, Iwahashi Shinichi's thoughts had an invisible influence on her thoughts, which made her favor CBS and Sony in her heart.
Once you pay special attention to a certain company, things will become very different. This special attention may magnify the shortcomings of this company and make them out of the game. If not, then they will be promoted successfully and become the final choice.
"CBS Sony is really good," Watanabe Manyumi said.
"Strength is one of them, and the conditions they gave are also more sincere."
Shinichi Iwahashi has a good memory and can immediately recall the documents he had seen before, "Among the four companies, CBS and Sony are the most liberal in terms of the band's production rights. In addition, the estimated debut production fee is also the highest. Although it is not
As for spending money to debut like an idol, there is no harm in having a high budget."
"It costs much more to package an idol's debut than to launch a band." Watanabe Manyumi smiled.
When an idol makes his debut, he not only has to seek cooperation from well-known songwriters, but also has to customize various singing uniforms, and also has to get close to TV stations. Every step of the way costs money.
In contrast, a band that can do all the lyrics, music, arrangement, and musical instruments by itself, and does not need to prepare thirty additional dresses to play songs, and is constantly bombarded with appearances on TV and magazines, is simply a first-rate thrifter.
"That's true." Shinichi Iwahashi agreed. He added, "But in the end, it was CBS and Sony's tolerance that made me make my decision. This is important to me and you."
The importance of tolerance to DreamseTrue is obvious, but he also mentioned u-miz... Watanabe Wan Yumi thought about it, guessed what he meant, and nodded and admitted, "u-miz is too weak."
This is an unavoidable problem. Although this is a company that was separated from Watanabe Productions, Watanabe Productions itself has been exhausted, and u-miz's most successful work so far has bet all their wealth on it.
Produced by the band Heaven.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that u-miz is planning to make the first pot of gold from Band Paradise.
The partnership between the agency and the record company sometimes requires a good match. Otherwise, if one party is too strong, it will eventually turn into a bad situation.
"At first, I was hesitating whether it should be a 'strong and weak alliance' or a 'weak and weak alliance.'" Watanabe Manyumi said, "u-miz is too weak and too a strong record company, which is not good for me."
"But it's not appropriate to be too weak." Iwahashi Shinichi said what she hadn't finished, "For weak people to join forces, just you and me are enough."
Hearing what he said, Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled.
"However, Wanyumi-san," he said, "compared to the drama of the weak and the weak working together, at this stage, it is more appropriate for u-miz to cooperate with the strong. You also said that bands are different from idols."
Idols are exposed to a variety of jobs, and the focus of a band's work is almost all on music. The idol's route is jointly formulated by the agency and the record company, while the band's style actually depends more on the band itself.
Unlike idols, bands have been almost in a finished product since their debut. Because of this difference, there are few opportunities for disagreements between the agency and the record company, and the disadvantages of a weak agency are not a problem. Even
, this weakness can in turn become an advantage.
Of course, he is a strong man, not a dictator. This is why Shinichi Iwahashi particularly emphasizes the tolerance of CBS and Sony.
"you're right."
The balance in Watanabe Mayumi's heart finally tilted to the side of CBS and Sony.
The most important thing is that "you and I" have reached an agreement, and the matter is almost settled.
After that, Iwahashi Shinichi will be the representative to discuss with Nakamura-san and Miwa-chan. If they agree, the next step will be three-way negotiations with CBS, Sony, U-Miz, and DreamseTrue.
…
After talking about this matter, Iwahashi Shinichi did not stay at Watanabe Manyumi's place for a long time. Instead, he went to report the results of the negotiation to Nakamura brother and Miwa-chan.
Miwa-chan has entrusted all this to Shinichi Iwahashi. As long as the record company doesn't let her do things she's not good at, or persuade her to give up her weird aesthetic. She doesn't think it's weird at all, then the vote that belongs to her is up to Iwahashi.
How to vote for Shen Yi.
Having been a professional recording studio musician, the ambitious Nakamura Masato has more to consider. However, there is nothing to question about the conditions of CBS and Sony. Not only that, he is yearning for overseas. Because of his ambition,
It is much better to join a company with considerable strength and overseas business than to join a medium-sized company.
After all, their band is not just three amateurs jumping in without knowing anything. The two male musicians are people behind the scenes, and they are bound to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
"Then CBS and Sony unanimously approve it. Is this the decision?"
Shinichi Iwahashi listened to the opinions of both people and made the final decision.
"It's decided." Miwa-chan, who was almost blinded at the end of the competition, felt a sense of relief in her exhilaration at this moment.
It’s not easy when someone picks you, and it’s not easy when you pick by yourself.
"After the decision is made, there will be a second meeting." Masato Nakamura thought of something and asked Shinichi Iwahashi, "Shinichi-kun, do you still want to wear a hood during the interview?"
Iwahashi Shin smiled but said deliberately: "It would be great if Masato-san continues to be the leader."
"Spare me." Nakamura Masato made an expression as if he had been hit by something.
Miwa-chan was listening to the two of them going back and forth. She found it very interesting at first, but then she thought that the problem of the headgear could not be solved, so she also asked: "Shinichi-kun, you don't really want to wear a headgear for the second meeting, do you?"
?”
How can it be.
The mystery that needs to be revealed will be revealed sooner or later.
…
After feedback on the results of the negotiation, the formal three-party negotiation was scheduled for Tuesday of the following week.
On Saturday night, Band Heaven broadcast its first episode since April. Although advertisers have increased and funding has become more abundant, this studio that has left a deep impression on the audience has not changed.
It’s still a familiar record stage, and it’s still familiar and will suddenly scare you.
After DreamseTrue won the championship and left the stage, Shinichi Iwahashi did not sit on the representative seat again. He took this opportunity to withdraw from the stage of Band Paradise and completely retreated behind the scenes.
Being away from the stage has not stopped him from continuing to be the mastermind behind the scenes. Naturally, he will not be absent from the regular meeting on Monday.
DreamseTrue's management contract was won by U-Miz of Watanabe Manyumi, and the record contract was with CBS and Sony. This made Hirai Kazuo and Watanabe Manyumi temporarily have a relationship like "allies" in this conference room.
After the meeting, Hirai Kazuo specially waited for Watanabe Mayumi to greet her for a few words and briefly communicated about tomorrow's business meeting.
