Similar to the composition of the amateur band in Walkers Paradise, among the amateur bands gathered in "Chengtian", students account for a considerable part.
However, although today is not Sunday, it is still at the tail end of winter vacation.
Taking advantage of the fact that school hasn't started yet, the students brought their musical instruments and equipment and gathered here to do some activities.
Before going over there, Watanabe Mayumi remembered something and said she wanted to change some change first. Seeing Iwahashi Shinichi's confusion, she told him, "If you see a good performance, of course you have to express it."
Iwahashi Shinichi teased her, "When I was in Walker's Paradise before, I was obviously very generous."
The reason why I was so impressed was that not many viewers tipped 1,000 yen after watching an amateur band perform.
When he said this, Watanabe Manyumi smiled and explained to him: "Osaka people are different from Tokyo people. If you do that in Osaka, you will be regarded as a fool."
Is there such a thing?
Iwahashi Shinichi said he was taught.
After all, "Tokyo has Walker's Paradise, and Osaka has Osaka Castle Park." The liveliness of Osaka Castle Park is not inferior to Walker's Paradise.
Regarding the band, Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Mayumi can be said to be "well-informed". During the production of Band Paradise and the review stage, they had different backgrounds, different styles, and various bands of varying standards. At least they saw hundreds of them.
.
In the middle of the program, TV Asahi cooperated and negotiated with local TV stations under their network to accept registrations from amateur bands nationwide, including many bands from the Kansai region.
However, watching the videotape used for review is still different from visiting it in person.
The differences between Kanto and Kansai are also reflected in the band.
Although this is not necessarily the case, during the review period, Shinichi Iwahashi was deeply impressed by the bands from Kansai that many of them are good at writing colloquial and somewhat self-deprecating lyrics.
In terms of being down-to-earth and having a sense of life, Kansai people have their own talent.
Of course, the words are not absolute, and there are many poets and lyricists in Kansai. But one thing is certain, in terms of writing lyrics for the common people and putting aside their airs to laugh at themselves, Kansai people have something that Kanto people do not.
Talent.
Nowadays, when walking in the "City Sky" and watching live performances, the difference between the bands in Tokyo and Osaka is even clearer. Here, the probability of seeing a band that is of poor quality and almost funny is much higher than in Walker's Paradise.
However, no matter what the level is, it does not prevent them from enjoying themselves.
The two of them walked around slowly, stopping for a certain band from time to time.
The band they like may not necessarily be of outstanding quality, but may also be a band with unique characteristics, or a band whose quality is so poor that it has a comedic effect——
This ability to turn pulp into comedy is another strength of Kansai people.
When Watanabe Manyumi saw a performance she liked, she put a coin in the band's piano case.
Without the performance of a rich woman throwing a thousand yen at a time, it would not be noticeable here at all. Iwahashi Shinichi still kept his money and calmly regarded the coins she threw out as belonging to two people.
Quietly touch her wealth.
After stopping for several bands, Watanabe Manyumi felt that the time was right and mentioned to him, "Dreams e True was temporarily asked to change the song by NHK before the Red and White Song Festival."
"Hmm." Iwahashi Shinichi listened.
The premiere of dreams e true's red and white song show was naturally a complete success. However, while turning the crisis into an opportunity and ushering in the current good sales momentum, he has not forgotten the crisis.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi judged that this stumbling block was not aimed at Dreams e True, but at the Band Heaven-type band, or to be more precise, the Band Heaven program.
Therefore, they speculated that the forces causing obstruction were forces that did not participate in the bidding for this program.
"I asked my mother to help me investigate."
Watanabe Manyumi told him the result of Watanabe Misa's inquiry from NHK, "It's Shu Fang Ikuo-san from Bruning."
Hearing this name, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but frown.
Everyone in the entertainment industry knows the name Ikuo Sufang.
This boss was a gangster from Chiba when he was young. He was recommended to work as a driver for Representative Hamada Koichi, who was also a gangster from Chiba Prefecture. Later, he was recommended to the leader of the Kitajima Group, an evil force in the entertainment industry.
Saburo Kitajima is the driver.
In short, he has been closely related to the Yakuza from the beginning. After entering the entertainment industry, relying on the Yakuza power behind him, Shufang Ikuo quickly expanded his territory and founded the Bruning Agency.
In addition to being closely related to the Yakuza, because of his status as Representative Hamada, Ikkio Shufang also has some connections with Zheng Jie.
The Yakuza need him to help front-end companies clear their name, and members of Congress need his political donations to be elected.
With these two backers, Zhou Fangyuxiong is like a duck in water in the industry.
There are three signature trump cards. The first one is poaching, which involves coercion and inducement to poach the top names of other firms. It hinders Bruning's power in the industry, and the firms being poached often have no choice but to swallow their anger.
The second thing is to encourage cadres in large firms who want to be independent, provide them with independent financial and resource support, and take the opportunity to recruit them under their command.
When Amuse's Ohki Yokichi and Ogi Production's Toru Ogi decided to resign and start their own businesses, they both received the support of Ikuo Subo - both of them were agents from Watanabe Productions.
This move was quite clever, and soon the Bruning Firm expanded into the "Bruning Department". All firms that received his funding automatically became his subordinates.
As for the third thing, he used Bruning's power to suppress and block firms that refused to obey his arrangements. When necessary, he would even send out gangsters to teach the other boss a lesson.
The undisputed number one evil force in the entertainment industry.
Ikuo Suho is now eyeing the show Band Paradise?
Iwahashi Shinichi is partnered with Watanabe Manyumi. Regardless of his grassroots background, Watanabe Manyumi is backed by Watanabe Productions. Therefore, I never imagined that Shubo Ikuo would interfere with the program she is leading.
But when I think back to Band Paradise, Bruning's own power did not participate in the show, I feel that it is not unusual for Ikugo Subo to use such a trick one day.
However, since you take action, you must have a reason.
We must first know the reason why Shubo Ikuo did this, and then we can prepare countermeasures. With Watanabe Productions on hand, Iwahashi Shinichi did not believe that Shubo Ikuo would really deal with Watanabe Manyumi.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. An established power like Watanabe Productions cannot be easily manipulated by Ikuo Suho.
Moreover, even if such an established firm does have a conflict with a rising power, there will always be many big figures in the industry waiting to help mediate, not to mention that there is not yet - at least there is no conflict on the surface.
He thought for a moment, "What does Zhou Fangsang mean?"
Watanabe Manyumi did not answer, but first told him, "I discussed with my mother and planned to ask my mother to come forward to make peace and visit Zhou Fang-san."
