After hearing this, Iwahashi Shinichi was quite surprised.
Unexpectedly, Watanabe Wan Yumi had some friendship with his sister in private.
When it came to setting up a record company, Watanabe Wanyumi had contact with Iwahashi Asako. The two professional women had a good impression of each other.
Shinichi Iwahashi had made time to attend the wedding several weeks in advance. With such fanfare, Watanabe Manyumi naturally knew that this was the day that Asako Iwahashi would get married.
However, her relationship with Asako Iwahashi was not close enough to attend the wedding. Even so, a week before the wedding, she sent a gift to Asako Iwahashi's office to congratulate her on her wedding.
In response, Iwahashi Asako also sent a wedding gift in return to Watanabe Manyumi.
"So."
Iwahashi Shinichi had no intention of asking the extent of the so-called lack of friendship between the domineering president and his elite sister, and what she thought of Asako. Instead, she focused on another question: "As Asako's younger brother, I have
Nothing to be congratulated on."
He was still worried about Watanabe Wan Yumi's ridicule just now, and he felt that his sister and Watanabe Wan Yumi had joined forces to create a plot, so Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately used words to contradict her.
Occasionally, I see him being so petty. The key point is occasionally. Watanabe Manyumi didn't think he was looking for trouble, but thought it was quite funny, and deliberately pushed back, "Asako-san is getting married. Congratulations to Shinichi-kun for being the first in line to get married in the family."
."
You yourself are not the same...
Before Shinichi Iwahashi opened his mouth to complain, he first realized Watanabe Wanyumi's extremely subtle "ye" and couldn't help but laugh. His previous thoughts of continuing to quarrel with her disappeared immediately.
As expected of Watanabe Mayumi, she was able to resolve the matter easily.
However, so far, neither of them took the marriage as a joking topic.
…
After attending the wedding, I made a special trip to Watanabe Manyumi's office, and it was definitely not to be delivered to her door and receive hot looks from her. On the eve of the wedding, Iwahashi Shinichi and Narita Hiroyuki reached a consensus that it was only right to convey this matter to her.
thing.
However, after listening to Watanabe Mayumi saying that she has some friendship with Iwahashi Asako, Iwahashi Shinichi was a little curious. He wanted to meet Narita Hiroyuki through him to get to know Watanabe Mayumi. Did he know that Asako and Watanabe Mayumi have been in private contact?
But the next second, I made a denial in my heart.
With Asako Iwahashi's personality, she would not do such an out-of-bounds thing. On the other hand, even if Hiroyuki Narita wanted to get to know Watanabe Manyumi, the path he would choose would be through Shinichi Iwahashi.
"...Anyway, this is what I talked about with Brother-in-law Narita yesterday."
After hearing this, Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled and said, "Narita-san is also willing to help with the contact? That would be much smoother."
There are some things that need not be said clearly. Narita Hiroyuki is Iwahashi Shinichi's brother-in-law, and he is the power he can win over. Iwahashi Shinichi threw out a signal for help to Narita Hiroyuki and roped in his brother-in-law to join him. In order to escape, Iwahashi Shinichi could only rely on Watanabe.
The situation of Bian family’s influence.
The joining of Hiroyuki Narita will not play a decisive role in the promotion of the band. However, as long as he is involved, the distance will be shortened, and the deeper the involvement, the more he can do for this partnership.
The more.
In the long run, the more forces you can draw on, the better. At first it is borrowing, but later it is a win-win situation.
Using Narita Hiroyuki's participation as an introduction, the two chatted about this publicity plan.
It was decided that the re-arranged version of "Future Vision II" would be sung at the Kohaku Song Festival, and the original promotional plan planned by Shinobu Iwahashi also had to change accordingly.
That's what happened. It was Prime Minister Zhuge who had the uncanny plan.
"Originally, we wanted to focus our promotion after the new year, but now, we need to adjust it."
Iwahashi Shinichi said that he wanted to add a promotion during the period before the year and promote the song through radio broadcasts.
"Playing songs on the radio." Watanabe Mayumi thought for a while.
Iwahashi Shinichi told her, "The locusts are critically ill and the self-restriction order has been promulgated, which has greatly affected folk entertainment activities. If Asako's sister's wedding had not been booked several months in advance, I am afraid it would not be held as usual."
"Not only are large-scale events affected, but under the current circumstances, the year-end New Year's Eve party can no longer be held with as much fanfare as in previous years. As for various Christmas activities, they can only be cancelled."
"Wouldn't such an atmosphere be boring for a couple in love?"
Shinichi Iwahashi asked jokingly, his tone full of gloating about being single.
Originally, Christmas, the winter Valentine's Day when couples took the opportunity to abuse dogs, was a day for men and women to date, give gifts, eat and sleep. Now due to the self-restriction order, the shopping streets are deserted, and many of the original plans have to be scrapped.
"However, men may take the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief."
In response to him, Watanabe Manyumi also made a casual joke.
Indeed, if the plan is scrapped, it will save a lot of dating expenses. In this era where men may not get the chance to date even if they pay all the bills, it is indeed worthy for men to breathe a sigh of relief and secretly thank Tian Locust for his critical illness.
"However, this kind of 'boring' may also become an opportunity for us." Iwahashi Shinichi.
If the end of this year runs at full speed as usual, and couples eat, drink and have fun, everyone would probably be more willing to go to the disco and dance to "Jun's Eyes" than to listen to the slowly advancing "Future Vision II"
に爱してる~canttakemyeyesoffyou》.
But in this boring Christmas, in this atmosphere that needs to be restrained, couples who are forced to slow down their high-speed rush forward may be able to pay more attention to "Future Vision II" than usual.
song.
"In addition, there may have been a hundred ways to express love in the past, but due to the self-restraint order, there may only be thirty of the hundred. Now at this juncture, promoting "Future Vision II" may become a
A new kind."
"Press the brake light five times?"
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "That's right. So, I want to play this song on the car radio station."
Of course, the scene in the lyrics is that after the hero sends the heroine downstairs, he flashes five times when watching her enter the door, not when driving on the road.
If it were the latter, even if the production team had their wits about them and released the song verbatim, they would probably have been asked to make corrections by the Civil Broadcasting Alliance because the lyrics conveyed a dangerous message.
Although Japan does not have an official department to regulate the entertainment industry, there are a lot of various private organizations that keep a close eye on the industry. The so-called Private Broadcasting Alliance is responsible for keeping an eye on singers.
Once those songs with weird lyrics are aired, if the Civil Broadcasting Alliance determines that they cannot be aired, they will either be removed from the shelves or rectified.
For example, a certain enka tycoon, Saburo Kitajima, the leader of the Kitajima group, had his debut single banned directly because of its coloring.
"Hearing this song in the car..." Watanabe Wan Yumi imagined.
The space inside the car is closed and the atmosphere is quiet. In this environment, I share a car with my love partner, and then the song "Future Vision II" is played on the radio.
The quiet and closed compartment gave this slow but advancing song a chance to unfold.
And in a quiet and airtight car, when you hear the confession of "brake lights flash five times", whether it is the person driving in the driver's seat or the person sitting next to you, in such an atmosphere, such simple words of confession may be...
Just enough to touch people's hearts.
"I had copied several tapes of "Future Vision II" before." Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "I put them in the car and listened to them for a while, and then I decided that I could try this method of playing songs through the car radio.
"
"Hmm." Watanabe Manyumi thought thoughtfully.
"One more thing." Iwahashi Shinichi mentioned, "This song lasts nearly seven and a half minutes. It is not easy to achieve results by switching to other platforms for a song of this length."
"Are you going to play the whole song on the radio?" Watanabe Manyumi asked.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "That's right. You said before that the characteristics of this song are that they are intertwined. Taking away some of the lyrics will make it lose its luster...unless you are familiar with it."
"So, we need to go through the radio in advance to make the song familiar."
After listening to it, Watanabe Manyumi pointed out one point, "If this is the case, the Kohaku Song Festival will have promotions after the new year. What will happen to the previous plans?"
Originally, the idea was to use the stage of the Red and White Song Contest to sing songs, but now, with the addition of singing songs on the radio, wouldn’t it mean that the originally envisioned part of the Red and White Song Contest has lost its meaning?
"Plans need to be adjusted as changes occur." Iwahashi Shinichi thought in his mind early on and replied quickly.
"However, we are not making too many adjustments. Generally speaking, we will still act according to the previous plan. However," he said slowly about his plan, "Wanyumi-san, we have postponed the release date of this new album.
back."
"..." Watanabe Wan Yumi listened.
The release date of this album was postponed to the end of the year, but before the release, the song was promoted through car radio stations.
The public listens to this song, but cannot buy it because the album has not been released yet. Therefore, this song cannot be heard anywhere except on car radio stations.
When the album is released at the end of the year, and on the night of the Red and White Song Concert, the band takes the stage to sing this song. At this time, the public will know who this song that has been widely promoted on the radio and has become familiar to them comes from.
It's Dolimuzcom Turu.
"At the same time that the mystery was revealed, the next day, we launched an advertising campaign on TV according to the original plan." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Watanabe Manyumi listened carefully to his version 2.0 plan, thought about it, and said: "It feels like this plan was born by omitting one thing."
"Um?"
"It's a single called "Future Vision ii"."
She pointed out, "It was promoted on the radio a few years ago. According to common sense, this is the standard for releasing a single. However, you used the method to promote a single, but what you promoted was a single that did not exist."…
...Another idea that goes against the grain of others.
"Interesting." Shinichi Iwahashi admired her perspective on the problem, "As expected of Wan Yumi-san."
Watanabe Wan Yumi refused to answer his words.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care and went straight to the point, "So, can this plan get your support? Boss."
DreamseTrue is a singer signed by u-miz. This kind of publicity resource is indispensable and requires the help of an agency. From this point of view, Shinichi Iwahashi, who is signed by U-miz's manager, is right to call him boss.
But obviously, Shinichi Iwahashi called him that on purpose.
However, the long-lost "boss" still hit the point of laughter of Watanabe Manyumi with great accuracy.
"It's my turn to say 'As expected of you' when a song is rated seven and a half minutes on the radio." Watanabe Manyumi complained about him.
According to the regulations of the Music Association, if a song exceeds five minutes, it must be calculated as two songs. Although such long songs are cheaper when collecting royalties, the singer himself has to pay what fees.
, also calculated as two songs.
Therefore, u-miz has to pay double the fee for playing a seven-and-a-half-minute full-time broadcast on the radio station.
"Anyway, I'm counting on you." Iwahashi Shinichi smiled.
"It's my turn to say, 'I'm counting on you.'" Watanabe Manyumi didn't accept his words. "The publicity fees are getting higher and higher. Now, I have to count on your plan to be a big success and the band's album to be a big hit."
welcome."
Having said that, considering the money that DreamseTrue's debut single and album earned the agency, as well as the potential they have shown, preparing such a project is not beyond the standard.
Watanabe Manyumi fully supports this somewhat unremarkable publicity plan.
Taking the Red and White Song Festival as the dividing point, the publicity plan before the Red and White Song Festival has been re-formulated, and then what needs to be confirmed is the publicity plan after the Red and White Song Festival.
There was no turning back when the bow was fired, so Iwahashi Shinichi simply suggested to play bigger.
"Ordinary album promotion advertisements play an audio clip of the title song for fifteen seconds or thirty seconds, and only use one album as the background of the advertisement. This is meaningless," said Shinichi Iwahashi.
Watanabe Wan Yumi asked him, "What are you going to do?"
Fortunately, the boss of this office is Watanabe Wan Yumi. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be able to do this to him.
"To borrow what you said just now, it is an idea that is born after something is omitted."
"Um?"
"It's the mv." Shinichi Iwahashi revealed the answer.
He didn't show off, but Watanabe Mayumi was a little confused because of his directness without any foreshadowing.
"When releasing a new song, it is common practice to shoot a music video. This time, to promote the new song, instead of just playing a song like other promotional ads, it is better to shoot a serious advertisement like a music video." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
"I saw the increasing funding." This was the first thing Watanabe Manyumi thought of.
Shinichi Iwahashi laughed after hearing this, "Sorry, sorry, I don't want to worry about you, boss."... It was intentional again.
It was funny, but he still came up with an idea, "Actually, there is a way to save a little on the cost of advertising."
