Iwahashi stretched out his hand to Chaozi, Yoshida Miki relented, her sisters were willing to lend their strength to them, Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi stayed behind, and the next step was to upgrade from a twosome to a threesome.
Finding a partner is also a skill. Don't think about the future, just look at the present. If you want to get on the right track and show off your skills as quickly as possible with your bare hands, the most convenient and efficient way is to go to
Join the record company and seek investment from the industry. But if you do this, you will undoubtedly lose a considerable part of your autonomy, which is no different from rushing to become a retainer.
If it were only Iwahashi Shinichi, he would probably work hard in this area and try every means to get a hold of the record company, as long as he could get into work as soon as possible. If it were just him and Watanabe Manyumi, this would not be impossible.
However, now that Watanabe Production is involved, things are completely different.
If Watanabe Productions stands idly by, Shinichi Iwahashi and Watanabe Manyumi can give up more rights and interests in order to gain strong support. But once Watanabe Productions' power in the record industry can be used by them, this partner will no longer be able to choose a record company.
.
Watanabe Productions would not agree to Mayumi Watanabe going through all the trouble just to build a sub-label. If they continue to contact the record company, Watanabe Productions will definitely fight for more control and voice to ensure that everything is based on their
As the leader, the one who will be harmed will definitely be the weakest Shinichi Iwahashi.
He wants to become one of the partners, even if he wears pants for this purpose, rather than using his production experience and influence in the underground music circle to become a technical investor. To take a long-term view, he must prevent this possibility in advance.
situation.
It is proposed to invite a third party to join, but the need for funds is secondary. The most important thing is for the power in its hands. In addition, another important reason is to untie the legs that bind him and Watanabe Manyumi.
of that rope.
Watanabe Production has clearly stated that it stands behind Watanabe Mayumi, so this third party cannot be too weak or too big, at least it cannot exceed Watanabe Production by much.
In the early stages of starting a business, if the partners you find are too powerful, it is easy for them to fall into passivity.
When the time comes, Watanabe Mayumi will be backed by Watanabe Productions, and a one-and-a-half-inch-long insect like Iwahashi Shinichi, who is truly unarmed, will naturally bear the brunt. If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and the weak will think more than the strong.
If you can't be a sub-label of a record company, you can't have a joint venture with a record company. And although he and Watanabe Manyumi are now close to TV Asahi, this is a big business, and a TV station is an industry giant like that.
Wu Ba looked down upon him, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe had no intention of finding an evil mother-in-law to dominate them.
With Watanabe Productions on the scene, we can no longer consider contacting other agencies.
It is obviously impossible for a group that has already invested in or owned the record industry, and the related record companies are running a prosperous business, to allocate their attention and resources to the sudden appearance of Xiaodouding Company. If they become a sub-label, there will be another group.
Don't talk about it.
And since it's not just about attracting investment, ordinary companies are not within the scope of consideration.
You need to find something that has something to do with the entertainment industry, so that the record company can get help in promotion and distribution. It should not be so big that it can't afford to climb up, and it should not be involved in the record industry.
Looking over the past, companies related to bookstores, publishing industry, or game industry are more suitable.
After determining the direction of their search, Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi began to prepare an investment plan and contacted the listed potential partners. Except for the scheduled work, they devoted all their time to each other.
On the one hand, I am working on a production plan, and on the other hand, I have to take care of the production of Wink, as well as the recording of DreamseTrue and the unfinished tour. In addition, I also have work related to Genzo. I am still busy. Although I still have no ppk,
But he is an out-and-out 007.
However, seeing that Watanabe Manyumi is also extremely busy, Iwahashi Shinichi has gained a lot of psychological balance. Although he is just a hard-working young entrepreneur, Watanabe Manyumi is a domineering president.
Having said that, how can there be so many overbearing CEOs who leave their work to their subordinates and spend all day talking about love and sending fish to the fish pond, and wandering around the elevator entrance, just waiting for the little confused to attract attention?
…
At this stage of continuous ups and downs, the best news Iwahashi Shinichi received was that he received the first royalties and production fees since the debut of the band he had longed for.
For Shinichi Iwahashi, who was waiting to use the money to invest in his record company, this money saved him from disaster.
In Japan’s royalty system, the royalty for a single accounts for about 6% of the record’s selling price, of which the lyricist and composer can get 2% to 3% respectively, the singer can get 1%, and the arranger generally does not participate.
Royalty distribution is a one-time buyout, because the arrangement cannot exist independently, and even if you "borrow" other people's arrangements in the name of sampling, you don't have to go to court.
In addition to record royalties, there are also royalties from radio and television stations, and karaoke singing royalties. You can get various kinds of money. As long as you can sing a popular song and don't commit suicide and lose the copyright, you will have no worries about food and clothing.
It's no problem.
For dreamssetrue's current song, Miwa-chan wrote all the lyrics and most of the music. Naturally, she made a lot of money. After various commissions, she still got almost 7 million yen. Of course, this is pre-tax income.
Iwahashi Shinichi, who also serves as a producer, also earns a lot of money, which is similar to what Miwa-chan gets. The difference is that Miwa-chan has to pay the highest level of personal income tax, while Iwahashi Shinichi pays corporate tax through genzo.
And this is just the first royalties. As long as there are subsequent shipments, radio broadcasts, and people singing in karaoke, there will be a steady stream of income.
He made a lot of money as soon as he debuted. He is not a top-tier singer, but he is just a little popular. Iwahashi Shinichi was filled with emotion, it is really fast to make money as a musician.
Of course, the premise is that you can be popular, stay popular, and participate in creation and production. Otherwise, if you just sing a song, you won't get much money. If you encounter a firm that charges a lot of money, you will be cramped and skinned, and you will get it.
There will only be less.
Miwa-chan, who wrote the lyrics and most of the music, and Shinichi Iwahashi, who was also the producer and could get extra production fees from sales, made a lot of money. Brother Nakamura, who only participated in singing, arranging, performing and a small amount of composing, didn't earn much.
Halfway to Miwajiang, the gap is huge.
However, this situation will not last long. Miwa-chan has learned about the same lyrics, and Nakamura-san’s songs will appear more and more in the band’s singles and albums.
According to this division of labor model, the income of the three people will be balanced sooner or later.
Having said that, if Iwahashi Shinichi hadn't been named as the producer and could directly receive the production fee, and he only participated in arranging and singing, the amount of money he would receive would be the lowest in the band.
Now is the time when we have just debuted and are working together to climb up. It’s okay to have more or less. If there is a personal income and contribution in the group that has a huge distance from other members for a long time, sooner or later something will happen because of this imbalance.
.
After George Harrison's composing skills came to light, Ringo Starr's position in the Beatles was extremely awkward. During the recording period, he went on strike and no one invited him. In the end, he went back on his own.
Being able to become a millionaire by playing drums seems to be the best and cheapest thing, but it can't help the feeling of dispensability.
In other words, it is precisely because I have made enough money that I have the time to consider these things.
During this time, the band was in the process of producing their second single and album. With the popularity of the band in heaven, they got off to a first-rate start. If they want to move forward, they need good works.
Singles don't need to be bombarded. It's much better to have one hit song in one year that lasts for four years than to release four hit songs in one year and all the hits in the next three years.
After the royalties were calculated and the recording was over, Miwa-chan, whose waist suddenly swelled a lot, treated her to dinner. Brother Nakamura, who was going to use the royalties to replace the 100,000-yen eight-hand Suzuki lunchbox, planned to use the production fee.
Iwahashi Shinichi, who works in a record company, has two grown men who can eat her soft food without any blushes.
After Brother Nakamura gets his new car, he may not only let his girlfriend sit in it, but he may also have to serve as a driver for two teammates from time to time. As a beneficiary, Miwa-chan turns a blind eye to Brother Nakamura's stinginess.
On the other hand, it was Iwahashi Shinichi, whose stubbornness made Miwa-chan despise him.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi still insisted on that. He would not talk casually when things were not yet certain. Therefore, even in front of his two teammates, he remained silent and did not say anything about forming a record company.
"Shinichi-kun is so stingy~" Miwa-chan teased him.
Iwahashi Shinichi in turn taught her earnestly, "...Don't spend all your money in one go and still have unpaid taxes." I don't know how many people in the entertainment industry are like this.
Hua Tehua was already bankrupt when he came to his senses.
As soon as the tax was submitted, Miwa-chan was so distressed that she grimaced, and Iwahashi Shinichi's blow to her seemed to be extremely accurate.
However, the band has just debuted, and we don’t know how far it will go in the future. It is far from being able to open a special office to avoid tax for the mere millions of yen in royalties.
I can only endure it for now.
Having said that, "a mere few million yen" is quite an exaggeration.
…
Iwahashi Asako promised to help, which was true, and she got involved. Iwahashi Shinichi introduced her to Watanabe Manyumi.
Iwahashi Chaozi had heard Iwahashi Shinichi talk about the reasons for establishing a production company before, and she also guessed that something might have happened between him and Watanabe-san.
However, rather than guessing about the relationship between Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi, the reason why Iwahashi Asako was really curious about Watanabe Manyumi was that although she did not keep Iwahashi Shinichi for her own use, she could still be with him.
A cooperative approach.
