"This is Chisato Moritaka's sales feedback last week."
At the office's regular meeting on Monday, after everything was reported one by one, we finally came to the part where Mori was a thousand miles away. Kenichi Yamauchi pricked up his ears, waiting to hear the results.
The sales statistics are collected by the record company and then transmitted to the office at the same time. At the same time, the same thing was probably said at the Warner Pioneer meeting.
Ever since Yamauchi Kenichi completed the task of persuading Kawahata Kichiichiro with great effort, he has been particularly concerned about the development of Senri Moritaka and was curious about the effectiveness of the publicity strategy given by Iwahashi Shinichi.
"Last week's sales, including CDs, LPs, cassettes, etc., sold a total of 19,000 copies, setting the best weekly performance since its release, and ranking 14th on the Oricon list.
In addition, there are record stores that are out of stock, otherwise the results should be even better."
"In addition, according to feedback from the Cable Broadcasting Association, the number of on-demand views of Moriko-san's single has surged. Especially the number of broadcasts on school radio and shopping street stores has shown a considerable upward trend, and the number of on-demand broadcasts on radio programs has also increased significantly.
To be eye-catching.”
"Now, according to feedback received from record sellers at Warner Pioneer, Chisato Moritaka's new single has excellent sales potential, and many record stores have already submitted requests for additional stock."
One after another, the direct agent in charge of Chisato Moritaka came out with exciting and good news. Kenichi Yamauchi listened and his mood became more and more comfortable.
Fortunately, the previous efforts were not in vain! ...There is no need to really shake my fist at Shinichi Iwahashi.
At this time, Chisato Moritaka's direct manager mentioned something else, "Warner Pioneer has an idea regarding the request for additional replenishment of record stores."
…
The first batch of 50,000 records shipped was about to be sold out. Warner Pioneer received a large number of requests for additional orders from record sellers, and naturally arranged for printing plants to press the records as soon as possible.
In the current situation, Sentaka Chisato is going to make a big splash. Warner Pioneer senses this impending momentum. Instead of replenishing the goods immediately, it plans to control the shipment volume first, replenish the goods in a small amount, and then give the public a proper lift.
appetite.
In the afternoon, a meeting about Sentaka Moritaka was also taking place within Warner Pioneer, attended by company directors and the team responsible for Sentaka Moritaka.
Now everyone can see the good momentum that is just around the corner. The atmosphere in the entire conference room is different from the past. Although it is still tense and serious, there is a little bit of excitement.
"Curious but unable to buy records, the public will consider radio-on-demand methods. In this way, they will spontaneously join the lineup to help Sengao promote. And the dance music style has a natural characteristic, that is, melody
The rhythm and rhythm are very easy to remember. Just by passively listening to it, you will remember the song."
"Of course, we can't let the public wait too long. When the brewing reaches the right stage, we should release the pressed records in one go and push Sengao's record sales to a new level. If we can have a place on the charts
, then it’s a different matter.” The executive producer expressed his opinion.
"The right stage." The director repeated the word and said, "Then we must focus on the on-demand rate of the broadcast, and then seize the opportunity." He gestured, "Good shot!"
After finalizing a new publicity strategy and determining a number for subsequent shipments to record stores, the meeting was almost over.
After getting down to business, the director said with emotion, "Genzo's Iwahashi-san cannot be underestimated."
This somewhat strange publicity strategy actually had such a strong effect that it even surpassed the publicity methods carefully prepared for her by record companies and agencies, with Chisato Moritaka herself as the absolute protagonist.
"Indeed." The executive producer nodded, "When I first heard Iwahashi-san say this, I felt a little embarrassed, but now it seems that it is really amazing. Iwahashi-san seems to be very good at capturing such seemingly unorthodox things.
Chance."
If you think about it carefully, when Iwahashi Shinichi was producing the music festival, when the situation was clearly not good, he was thinking of expanding the lineup with great fanfare. You will know that this person is bold and unexpected, and he is not a traditional behind-the-scenes person.
.
Warner Pioneer has assisted naonのyaon in the past and probably knows this better than others.
"It's best to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with him. Even if we no longer cooperate, we can still maintain a good relationship."
"This Iwahashi-san is the kind of person who makes people look forward to, but will not disappoint expectations. He is worthy of our friendship." Iwahashi Shinichi is not here, and the director is even more generous with his words of praise.
"Speaking of which, I originally wanted to invite Iwahashi-sanya to attend today's meeting," the executive producer said. "After all, it was his idea. I wanted to invite him to hear my results, and maybe I could learn from him.
Heard any interesting ideas there."
"However, I called Genzo and told them that Iwahashi-san had work matters and went abroad. It seems to take about a week." The executive producer casually mentioned this information.
Originally, they were just chatting about Iwahashi Shinichi. Now, the people here just listened and did not go any further. After that, the meeting ended and everyone continued to perform their duties.
…
help!
ineedsebody,
help!
If the entire trip to Japan was filmed and later turned into a documentary, Shinichi Iwahashi would like the Beatles' "Help!" to be the opening line. There is no special reason, he just thinks it's powerful.
Although they went not to Liverpool but to London, and it was still far from being filmed for a documentary, it was still a great feeling to be able to travel at public expense.
After leaving the idea that surprised Warner Pioneer, caused trouble to Ken Yamauchi, and led countless people to pay attention to Chisato Moritaka and her new single, Shinichi Iwahashi did not experience this atmosphere personally.
Accompanied by Miwa-chan, Brother Nakamura, and staff from CBS, Sony and U-Miz, we started this one-week publicly funded tour.
Normally, u-miz can send people or not, but Wan Yumi still asked Kurijima Shinji, who had previously participated in contract negotiations, to accompany her to help with matters. According to her, if she goes on location, the agency does not have an agent to accompany her.
Like words.
In this case, another member has been added to the accompanying army this time.
Before leaving, Iwahashi Shinichi had dinner with Watanabe Manyumi. After talking about business, he joked with her, "I'm supposed to bring you some kind of gift when I go abroad, but if it were you, I wouldn't be able to buy it."
Anything that makes you feel good?"
"Am I that unkind?" Watanabe Wan Yumi showed a subtle expression after hearing his words.
