Watanabe Manyumi called and asked about the record label. The two made an appointment, and on Friday afternoon, Iwahashi Shinichi went to Watanabe Manyumi's office.
dreamsetrue's tour period is not over yet, but performances are not scheduled every Saturday and Sunday, so he has time to go and negotiate.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi, who went to the office, did not bring the plan, but brought something else.
Watanabe Manyumi glanced at the cover of the magazine he put on the table, and immediately understood that it was a male-oriented photo magazine, and couldn't help but show a slightly subtle expression.
"Why did you bring this here?" Watanabe Manyumi asked.
Iwahashi Shinichi picked up the magazine and opened it, "I said before that I would like you to get to know Kamachi-san, but there has never been a suitable opportunity. However, I still want you to read this and get a general understanding of her."
"This is?"
"Photos taken by Kamachi-san." Shinichi Iwahashi told her.
After Watanabe Wan Yumi heard what he said, she looked at his face first, then took the magazine, and her eyes fell on the page he opened.
…
After making a promise to Kamai Sachiko and asking her to believe in him, Iwahashi Shinichi tentatively reached a consensus with her.
After convincing Kamai Sachiko, the next step is to consider how to negotiate with the Star Firm, which should not only preserve the dignity of the Star Firm, but also take into account Kamai Sachiko's persistence.
A good start is half the success. Since we want to cooperate, we cannot leave unhappiness at the beginning.
In order to negotiate, it was necessary to first understand the current working status of Kamaike Sachiko. So, before contacting Watanabe Manyumi, he first went to look at the photos that Kamaichi Sachiko had taken.
Kamai Sachiko debuted not long ago, is unknown, and has not appeared in many magazines. It is difficult to buy a copy even if you have to go out of your way. I have no choice but to pass the task to Akamatsu Haruko and ask her to help get a copy from Kamai Sachiko.
Iwahashi Shinichi does not think this approach is disrespectful. In his opinion, Kamaike Sachiko, who insists on not throwing aside the work he is doing just because of a good opportunity, will never think that the job he is doing is
Disgraceful.
Therefore, Akamatsu Haruko felt baffled when she received such a task. Considering that Iwahashi Shinichi was not the kind of person who would do useless things, she was obedient and went to make this strange request to Kamai Sachiko.
However, Kamatsu Sachiko, who was told this by Akamatsu Haruko, didn't take it seriously. According to Iwahashi Shinichi, she took a magazine in which she appeared and gave it to Akamatsu Haruko.
…
Watanabe Manyumi flipped through the magazine. As Shinichi Iwahashi said, Sachiko Kamaiike is a beauty with outstanding appearance, not inferior to Akamatsu Haruko.
The photo shoot was for a male-oriented magazine. In the inside pages, she was also wearing cool clothes and posing. She was a typical photo girl. There are as many such photo models as there are full-time and part-time ones all over Japan.
However, the special thing about Sachiko Kamaiike is that although the photo shoot is for a male-oriented magazine, there is no expression between the eyebrows and eyes that attracts people's imagination. Instead, she has a boyish and heroic look.
"To be honest," Iwahashi Shinichi said at this time, "Kamoike-san really has no charm at all."
After hearing his ruthless words, Watanabe Wan Yumi turned her attention to him.
"It's not that she lacks charm. On the contrary, she is a very charming person. I can feel it the few times I met her." Iwahashi Shinichi explained, "...It means that she lacks that kind of charm.
Fascinating and captivating.”
Even though she is so pretty and has a good figure, taking such cool photos has a bit of a sense of "being upright". I don't know if this problem of not being able to get into the state can be improved with more shooting experience, but at least now...
…
"I guess her photo card sales are not very good, and she can't gain much fame and popularity." Iwahashi Shinichi expressed his opinion.
"Hmm..." Watanabe Wan Yumi also somewhat agreed in her heart.
She moved her hand and turned over another page. The model inside was not Sachiko Kamaiike, but another one. Above the subtitle, the name of the model marked was "Natsuo Okamoto".
It becomes even more obvious when there is a comparison. Although Natsuki Okamoto's appearance is not as good as that of Sachiko Kamaiike, it is obvious that the photos she took have more of an "atmosphere".
Watanabe Manyumi has not read many male-oriented photo magazines, but based on her feeling, she thinks that men who buy magazines will like Natsuki Okamoto more.
As for the basis for thinking so, it's probably because she prefers Kamai Sachiko.
"To be honest, this person's charm value in the magazine is higher than that of Kamachi-san." Shinichi Iwahashi expressed this opinion, which indirectly confirmed her idea.
Hearing what he said, Watanabe Wan Yumi looked at Natsuki Okamoto in the inside page, and calmly turned the magazine back to the page where Sachiko Kamaiike was.
Shinichi Iwahashi noticed her little moves, "But Kamachi-san is the type that even women like, or at least won't hate."
"That's true." Watanabe Manyumi admitted.
Probably because of this, the sales of Sachiko Kamaike's photo cards are not very good. Often among photo actresses, those with the highest sales are those who are seen as little monsters in the eyes of men and vixens in the eyes of women.
For this kind of Sachiko Kamaiike, compared to being a photo model and taking photos with an upright face, perhaps if she appeared in a fashion magazine for ol's, the response would be better and the path would be smoother.
Of course, from the perspective of an agency, if you work as a model for the inside pages of fashion magazines, you will probably only be able to get a carriage fee, which is tens of thousands of yen at most, during the unknown stage.
However, if you go to shoot for this kind of magazine, even an unknown model can get almost 200,000 yen per issue, and more popular models.
It can be seen from this that after Xingchen Office signed Sachiko Kamaike, there was no plan for her at all, and no targeted arrangements were made. It was a fate-style operation to make quick money.
If there are any good opportunities along the way, I will tell you otherwise. Otherwise, I will be kicked out after the contract expires.
However, for Iwahashi Shinichi, Star Office's lack of planning for Kamaike Sachiko was actually an advantage for him to facilitate his operations.
In addition, even if he respects the persistence shown by Kamai Sachiko, Iwahashi Shinichi still believes that if everything goes smoothly and she is absorbed into the record company, she can continue to be a model, but it is not necessary to be such a model.
…
Watanabe Manyumi was talking on the phone about the record label. However, after talking about Kamaike Sachiko, she did not change the topic. Instead, she asked Iwahashi Shinichi, "Tajima's band will be at Romonikan later."
Do you want to go see the show?"
Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly heard this question and reacted. Without paying attention, he was bypassed by Watanabe Manyumi.
