Kamai Sachiko entered the recording room with the music score.
As soon as she walked in, she looked around and then at the three people waiting for her to take her seat on the other side of the glass wall. She pursed her lips, stretched out her hand, pinched a corner of the curtain, and blocked the glass wall.
This is the "escape method" taught by Shinichi Iwahashi.
Kamaike Sachiko entered the recording studio for the third time, but she still couldn't figure out any good way to overcome this discomfort, so naturally, she continued to follow Shinichi Iwahashi's advice.
This escape may not be very good, but it is very effective.
Once the curtains were closed, Kamaike Sachiko became calm.
On her third audition, she already knew the recording process well. After drawing the curtains, she picked up the headphones and put them on, immersing herself in her own world. After thinking about it for a while, she told the other person through the microphone, "Iwahashi-san, you can start.
Already."
On the opposite side, Shinichi Iwahashi, who had handed the initiative to her, received the signal from her, replied: "ok.", and began to skillfully operate the equipment.
…
This was the first time Sachiko Kamaichi sang this song. As soon as she started singing, the tune started to get higher.
The singing voice that is fed back from the monitoring headphones has various small flaws caused by unfamiliarity, but there are also highlights brought about by her small mistakes, such as her clear and explosive high notes, which are unforgettable.
.
With some training, it is not certain that it will become a characteristic of her singing style.
Shinichi Iwahashi listened carefully and made sure that there was no sense of incongruity between her singing voice and the abnormal song.
This kind of mysterious feeling, at least in music, is something that actually exists. Some songs are just not suitable for someone to sing, and some songs can only create sparks with someone. That’s the point of the interview.
here.
But now it seems that there is no need to worry about "something not feeling right" between her and Abnormal.
Tatsuya Hirakawa, who was also listening to Kamai Sachiko's recording, looked attentive. He was not the kind of person who showed his thoughts on his face, but his heart was pounding. Kamai Sachiko's performance gave him hope.
The hope of a fresh start for the band.
If Sachiko Kamaiike can be recruited as the lead singer of the band, then this period of rest and waiting will not be in vain.
…
After the audition, Sachiko Kamaike walked out of the recording room. Shinichi Iwahashi behaved as usual, but Tatsuya Hirakawa looked like he had something to say to her.
"Pretty good." Shinichi Iwahashi said to Sachiko Kamaike, ignoring Tatsuya Hirakawa.
Being praised so directly, Kamaike Sachiko showed a humble expression.
Shinichi Iwahashi greeted her, "Would you like to hear it, Tachi-san?"
Kamai Sachiko took the headphones from his hand and put them on, and also wanted to know her own performance... So this is how it feels when she sings abnormal songs?
The abnormal song is different from the songs that have been released on the market. It is brand new and unknown to Kamai Sachiko.
She had never sung a song that had not been officially released before. Because of this, Kamai Sachiko felt a little excited.
When she took off her earphones, Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her and said to her: "Can we talk for a while? Kamaike-san." He got straight to the point, omitting the usual polite words. Because of this, he seemed sincere.
The four people sat together again.
Iwahashi Shinichi explained the cause and effect of the abnormality to Kamaike Sachiko. Even though he knew it well and knew that Akamatsu Haruko had probably mentioned it to her, out of sincerity, he explained it again from beginning to end.
Of course, also to lead to the next topic.
"If there is a 'place in life', Akamatsu's life work probably lies behind the scenes, and she has indeed done a decent job, filling the role of black clothes very well." Iwahashi Shinichi is not stingy in praising others.
"But," he changed the topic, "it wasn't until she showed me Taichi-san's audition tape that I really recognized her."
Even though she knew that Kamai Sachiko was a contracted model at Star Agency, she still gave him the audition tape. When Akamatsu Haruko decided to do this, she was no longer simply looking for a replacement for the new lead singer, but also to make herself happy.
Get away from it, but really have a heart that cherishes talents.
From this point of view, she has indeed tempered herself in finding a lead singer.
Iwahashi Shinichi's words made Akamatsu Haruko look at him subconsciously. She couldn't hide her inner thoughts from Iwahashi Shinichi. This was his brilliance.
But aware of her gaze, Iwahashi Shinichi remained unmoved and concentrated on talking to Kamaike Sachiko.
"As for me, I'm the kind of character who wears black. So, after listening to Kamachi-san's audition tape, I became very interested in you, so I asked Akamatsu to help me arrange an appointment with you," Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Kamai Sachiko listened carefully.
"To be honest, after actually meeting you and listening to your singing, I also gained some strength from you."
"strength?"
Sachiko Kamaike was surprised by Shinichi Iwahashi's choice of words.
"Yes." Iwahashi Shinichi admitted, "A force that, although still very weak, still wants to work hard to win Kamachi-san to join."
It takes extraordinary determination to convince an artist who has signed a contract with an agency but is not an unknown small agency to join him.
…
What Akamatsu Haruko told her at that time, hoping that Iwahashi-san could make her dream come true, came true.
Kamaike Sachiko knew that Shinichi Iwahashi was different from the bumbling employees of Tokuma Records, or people with ulterior motives in socializing and socializing. This person who rekindled her dreams could really make her dreams come true.
but……
"I'm sorry, Iwahashi-san." Kamaike Sachiko probably spent a lot of courage when she said these words, and her cheeks turned red.
The opportunity was right in front of him, but the first thing that came to his mind was rejection. Tatsuya Hirakawa was okay, but Haruko Akamatsu, who knew how persistent she was for her dream, was completely surprised by what she did.
Iwahashi Shinichi was calm and politely waiting for her next words.
The opportunity is in front of her, and Kamai Sachiko wants to seize it, but she has not forgotten her identity. Even now, she has signed a modeling contract that is just waiting to be completed.
Compared with the noisy photo studio and the various modeling jobs that made her embarrassed, of course the environment in the recording studio made her yearn for it more. However, without this noisy job, she probably would not have followed the model that ignited her dream.
people meet.
"Wouldn't it be very bad to immediately put aside what you are doing just because you have a better opportunity?" Sachiko Kamaike said her thoughts like a girl.
"Iwahashi-san, I feel honored and moved that you are willing to invite me. However, without this current modeling job, I would not have met Akamatsu-san and you today." She told Iwahashi Shinichi frankly.
.
It was the job of model that sent her to Shinichi Iwahashi, and brought her to the front of her dream.
She doesn't want to abandon the "now" immediately just because she has a good future.
Therefore, even though she has been appreciated by the producer she has always respected, and the opportunity is right in front of her, she also believes that she should put the fulfillment of the contract with Xingchen Agency first, speak her mind out, and not be afraid of losing because of it.
This opportunity.
If a dream becomes an excuse to excuse one's bad faith, then such a dream is meaningless.
Similarly, she also believed that if it was Iwahashi Shinichi, he would be able to understand what she was doing. Moreover, she also believed that if she told Iwahashi Shinichi the truth without hiding anything, he might be able to come up with a good solution.
In the face of opportunities, there is no better way to communicate frankly than this.
This is a small, a bit cunning idea. However, this is also a kind of trust that Kamai Sachiko has in him.
…
This is a rather old-fashioned idea, and may be ridiculed by today's young people for being ignorant of current affairs. However, when Iwahashi Shinichi heard what she said, he did not feel that Kamai Sachiko was pedantic. Instead, he had a new appreciation for her.
know.
Sachiko Kamaike is at a disadvantage, but when good opportunities come to her, she first thinks about the beginning and the end. She has a precious and admirable character.
This kind of character made him think from the bottom of his heart that Kamachi Sachiko was worthy.
It was worth him to have a showdown with Watanabe Wan Yumi for her, it was worth negotiating with the Star Agency for her, and it was worth him putting his hopes and dreams of starting the first battle of Genzo on her.
Before, he felt that it was too late for him to discover Sachiko Kamaike. However, after Sachiko Kamaike said that he wanted to finish his current work first, Shin Iwahashi suddenly felt that it was just right to meet Sachiko Kamaike now.
The work of a model did not delay her, but rather polished her in a sense. Today, Sachiko Kamaiike shines with even more dazzling brilliance than when she was still a pink-collar worker at Kanzaki Real Estate.
Kanzaki Fudosan’s real estate girl Sachiko Kamaiike will not be looked down upon by Shinichi Iwahashi. However, the model Sachiko Kamaiike is worthy of working hard for her.
"There's nothing wrong with thinking this way." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
"Ordinarily, for me and you to bypass the office and negotiate privately, this is a bit over the line." Iwahashi Shinichi said this, which was also Kamaike Sachiko's concern.
The agency has a very strict system for controlling artists, especially in terms of work, and he is already acting unreasonably.
"However," he changed his subject, "if Puchi-san is not interested in my invitation, let's talk about it separately. But now, there is no need to push away the opportunity in order to keep the promise. Let's find a way to satisfy all parties.
?"
Kamai Sachiko looked at him, and then she really felt like "the dream is about to come true."
"The opportunity for me to enter the industry was because of a saying that the job of an agent is to 'sell excellence', that is, to bring excellent things to the public."
Shinichi Iwahashi met her gaze, "Agents think about how to bring excellent things to the public, while producers have to find ways to polish and produce excellent things."
Now, the excellent Sachiko Kamaiike was here, right in front of him, and he couldn't let her go.
"Can you please leave the next thing to me?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked.
Kamachi Sachiko bowed her head to him solemnly, "Then I'll leave it to you, Iwahashi-san."
Although she still didn't know what he was going to do, Kamachi Sachiko was willing to believe him.
