As soon as Misa Watanabe arrived, there was a moderate commotion in the venue.
As the current helmsman of Watanabe Productions, she and Susumu Watanabe met at a young age and started a business together, which resulted in the flourishing territory of Watanabe Productions. Although the office is not as powerful as before, she herself is still a leader in the entertainment industry.
A highly respected person.
The reason for this is that most of the founders of prestigious agencies in the entertainment industry have worked at Watanabe Productions.
Kitagawa Kaguya, the founder of Johnny's Agency in the kingdom of male idols, Yokichi Ohato, the founder of amuse Agency who signed the super band Nan Tianjunxing, and had a bad relationship with Susumu Watanabe and his wife, and later got married to Watanabe.
Taking advantage of the quarrel between production and TV stations, Horiuo Hori, the founder of horipro, achieved success with "Star! Birth" and Momoe Yamaguchi.
The founders of these three major firms used to be the younger brothers of Susumu Watanabe and his wife.
Although it was the apprentices who ended the master's prosperity, the situation where the disciples of the church starved to death did not happen. Although the master had less food to eat, now that Misa Watanabe is speaking, there is still some dignity left in it.
As soon as she arrived, the guests, including those from the firm and not from the firm, who had some respectability, spontaneously walked up to her and greeted her. The young people who were not qualified to appear were on the periphery a little further away.
While welcoming her, I was also watching the excitement caused by the arrival of the president.
There were two or three people following Misa Watanabe, including a woman who was about thirty years old. Her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Misa Watanabe's. Judging from her age, she was her eldest daughter.
Mr. and Mrs. Watanabe Susumu have two daughters. The eldest daughter is named Miki. After graduating from college, she first worked at Fuji Television, which has a good relationship with Watanabe Production, and then returned to Watanabe Production. Her husband is also a producer at Fuji Television. Today,
She took her husband's surname and called her "Yoshida Miki".
I heard that the younger daughter's name is Wan Yumi. She just graduated from college and is currently working at Watanabe Productions. She is not married yet.
The senior management of Watanabe Production led the way and led Misa Watanabe to the seats in the venue. The big-name singer Kazuya Mori, who came in with Misa Watanabe, accompanied him.
"Let's go say hello too." Guancun greeted Iwahashi Shinichi.
The two approached and stepped forward. Guancun bowed first, and Iwahashi Shin also lowered his head when he saw this.
"Guancun, thank you for your hard work." Misa Watanabe could call him by name. As Busch Ming's agent, Guancun is considered a prominent figure in the firm.
After greeting Sekimura, Misa Watanabe's eyes paused for a moment at Shinichi Iwahashi behind him, probably because he felt unfamiliar. After all, she has not delegated power yet, and when recruiting new people, she always has to get in front of her.
"Is he the new guy who just signed a contract?"
Suddenly being called upon, Shinichi Iwahashi hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to reply, Guancun rushed back: "It's the agent."
This answer was vague, but it was hard to fault. Even if Shinichi Iwahashi had sneaked in along with him, he just stepped down and bowed again to express his acquiescence.
"Agent?" Misa Watanabe looked at him again and smiled slightly, "With such a decent appearance, I thought he was an actor who had just signed a contract."
The word "correct" is used wonderfully. Shinichi Iwahashi's face, even if he plays the role of a puppet soldier, still has the demeanor of an undercover agent.
The good thing is that it looks trustworthy to older people, so even though you are young, talking about things goes more smoothly. The bad thing... is not really bad, it can only be said that in the eyes of some girls, it is a little bit.
Outdated and old-fashioned looks.
However, for an agent who works behind the scenes all day long, having such a face is pretty good.
"Then, keep working hard." Misa Watanabe encouraged her kindly when they met for the first time.
This kind attitude is because Watanabe Productions is famous for its humane management, and Mr. and Mrs. Watanabe are also famous for their kindness in treating employees and contracted artists.
In 1977, the idol group Candies, owned by Watanabe Productions, decided to quit and disbanded at the height of their popularity.
After they made such a decision and knew that they could no longer stay, Susumu Watanabe said to them "Thank you for your hard work" and thanked them for their efforts over the years. The two parties reunited and parted.
In this way, after leaving behind the famous saying "I want to live a life of an ordinary woman" (although they all came back within a few years), the next year in 1978, the group held a concert in Korakuen Stadium in front of 55,000 people.
They had a large-scale disbandment concert and said goodbye in style, leaving behind a legendary career in the art world. Even now, fans still miss them.
When Candies was on the rise, Pink Lady made her debut.
Pink Iday became a big hit when they debuted, and Candies also made solid progress and gained a group of loyal fans. The two record companies also sold formula rival sets. The two groups were put together and compared again and again, comparable to Yamaguchi Hundred
In the cartoon "Crayon Shin-chan", the team of Megumi and Junko Sakurada, there was an episode where Hiroshi and Mizu argued about the two teams.
Of course, in terms of sales, pink lady has always dominated the candies.
When Candies released their penultimate single before disbanding, Pink Lady was a bit "unkind" and chose to release their own work on the same day, which was their famous song "ufo", vowing to fight head-on.
posture.
Naturally, the result was that Pink Lady, who had already had several million-dollar singles, was a big winner. In the end, before Candies disbanded, they put the "second child" hat on their heads.
However, things are changing.
Pink ladies are becoming famous like never before. First, the agency made a mistake and asked them to pursue beauty careers. Then, as the beauty career failed, their popularity plummeted. The agency did not think about how to remedy the situation, but instead only wanted to squeeze out their remaining value.
Finally, after the speed of light, Pink Lady could only announce its dissolution. Shortly after the dissolution, the agency also closed down.
Interestingly, Pink Lady’s disbandment concert was also held at Korakuen Stadium.
As a result, compared to the grand occasion of the disbandment of the Candies, who were retreating at a rapid pace, Pink Lady's disbandment concert was deserted and desolate. Coupled with the cold and rainy weather that day, it was even more pitiful.
For celebrities, good office decision-makers are extremely important.
Not long after Candies was disbanded, Yamaguchi Momoe also retired bravely. Of course, her legend must also be thanked for the magnanimity of her company Horipro to let go.
Horipro's founder, Horibu, although he later had some unpleasantness with Watanabe Susumu and his wife, he did learn a lot of experience from Watanabe Production. When he went independent, Watanabe Production did not let him take advantage of him even though he was weak.
Weakness kills him, which also reflects the generosity and kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Watanabe Shin.
It may be difficult for Watanabe Productions to return to a first-class office, but as long as the popularity accumulated by the older generation is still there, there will not really be no way out.
"Yes, thank you very much." Even if Misa Watanabe said it casually, Shinichi Iwahashi must maintain enough respect in front of the superior. Of course, this respect is also sincere.
At the beginning, Watanabe Shin and his wife were just like him now, starting from discovering singers and progressing step by step. Since their goal is to be an agent, this couple is an example to follow.
Watanabe Misa's attention only stayed at him for a moment, and was attracted by Miwa Yoshida who was singing on the stage. "It seems that I have never seen this child before."
