Shinichi Iwahashi pondered the meaning of Watanabe Mayumi's words.
Since Misa Watanabe wanted to help make peace, it would be better to say that the visit to Ikuo Shufu was Misa Watanabe's idea, or at least the idea she approved of.
However, when talking about peace, the key is to say what can be said to be "harmony".
To decide what to say, you also need to know what the other person wants by doing so.
After the decline of Watanabe Productions, the number one force in the entertainment industry today is naturally the combustion system of Ikuo Shubo.
However, it is different from the time when Watanabe Productions monopolized two-thirds of the entertainment industry. In addition to the combustion genre, the industry also has Horipro, which rose to the top of the industry with "Star! Birth", and male idol professional Johnny, who are backed by large conglomerates.
of rising stars Yanyin and Xingchen, as well as other established and stalwart firms.
Although Burning is a powerful force, it is actually just a family-sized office. It relies on countless connections and the intimidating power of black and white to combine small forces in the entertainment industry to form this behemoth.
The Combustion Department is powerful, and the offices under the Combustion Department all do their own thing. Although it is powerful, it is not a monopoly.
Because of this, there will not be that kind of fierce confrontation, and it will not follow the footsteps of Watanabe's production.
The industry assumes that there is a pyramid-shaped boss and several large and powerful firms. Under this premise, all parties show their special powers and seize resources.
When resources are gradually controlled by large firms and the voice of small firms is continuously squeezed, there are only two ways to go.
One is to survive in the cracks, and the other is to join a big firm and rely on its protection to survive in the industry. With such a choice between the two, it is no wonder that more and more firms are being absorbed into the combustion department, but in fact there is no way out.
Walk.
At first, no one paid much attention to the show Band Paradise. Looking at the plan, it was just a second-rate talent show, otherwise it would not have been rejected by TBS TV station.
Zhou Fangyuxiong didn't pay attention to this kind of program.
However, it has gained momentum since its launch and has become TV Asahi's signature program. Most importantly, outstanding bands have participated in the program one after another, and have been signed by various agencies and record companies.
This program allows all firms and record companies in the industry to select candidates, giving small firms another opportunity to get in touch with strong newcomers.
Good seeds were scattered everywhere, growing in the soil of other offices and bearing good fruits. This made Zhou Fangyu alert to his ambition.
For the incident of temporary song changes at the Red and White Song Club, what he was targeting was not Watanabe Mayumi's U-Miz or Iwahashi Shinichi's Genzo, but the program Band Paradise itself.
He would not take the initiative to offend the daughter of a former industry hegemon, let alone a small company as big as sesame seeds and mung beans.
As a result, when the stick was pushed down, the cake was not broken, but became even sweeter.
"My mother reminded me of something, Shen Yijun."
Watanabe Manyumi told him, "She told me that when "Star! Birth" first started airing, the first thing her father and she considered was to come up with an idea that could compete with this show."
The background of the program "Star! Birth" started was that Watanabe Productions was the dominant company and could even challenge the TV stations. Therefore, the threatened TV stations and the entertainment industry joined forces to form a Watanabe encirclement network.
Faced with the situation of being besieged, the first thing that Susumu Watanabe and his wife considered was how to break out of the siege.
This kind of thinking was normal twenty years ago, when TV programs were not as abundant as they are now, and Watanabe Productions monopolized two-thirds of the entertainment industry.
Unlike now, the operation of TV stations is infinitely mature and can control the life and death of the firm. Nowadays, firms in the entertainment industry have to turn to TV stations to beg for food.
But in the end, the couple had to accept the reality that "Star! Birth" was irresistible.
The TV station cannot tolerate being threatened by the firm. The small firm wants to take advantage of the conflict between the big boss and the TV station. The most important thing is that the audience has received rave reviews for "Star! Birth".
It's not that the appearance of "Star! Birth" has changed the entertainment industry, but that when the soil of the entertainment industry is sown, good fruits will grow.
Times have changed, and Watanabe Productions can only give up confrontation and accept the reality, choose to join in, and become one of the representatives sitting on the "Star! Birth" representative seat.
Although from beginning to end, they didn't get any good cards in the show - they finally signed a champion, and it was a street idol like Akiko Matsumoto.
Having had such an experience, Watanabe Misa is better able to guess what Nakasubo Ikuo is thinking.
If the confrontation fails, then the next step is either more intense revenge or joining in.
"Rather than accepting Zhou Fang-san's advice, it is better to take the initiative to negotiate peace with Zhou Fang-san and invite Zhou Fang-san to the Band Paradise." Watanabe Wan Yumi said calmly, "This is what my mother meant. Although..."
"Although, once Zhou Fang-san's combustion type officially enters the show, the current balance of the show will be broken sooner or later." Iwahashi Shinichi finished what she didn't say.
Since we want to take the initiative to negotiate, we must give away the interests at hand. What's more, the object of negotiation is the kind of evil forces in the industry.
Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "But it's better than having a strong enemy ready to bring down your show at any time." If you fight against Ikuo Suho, the show will end hastily.
"But if it is given to Zhou Fang-san, the program will be in doubt." Iwahashi Shinichi is not optimistic.
Watanabe Manyumi did not accept the words, "My mother and I... According to the usual practice, a mediator is needed in this situation, and I am going to ask President Tanabe of the Tanabe Office."
After Watanabe Manyumi finished speaking, she turned to look at Iwahashi Shinichi, only to find that he looked thoughtful.
She shut her mouth and waited for him.
…
Iwahashi Shinichi did not expect that the answer he heard from Watanabe Manyumi would be this. Although it was unexpected, it was also expected.
He would never even think about going head-to-head with an evil force like the Burning Element.
People like Su Fang Ikuo are accustomed to taking by force. They rely on poaching other companies' top names, and then rely on their own powerful power behind the scenes to make the poached firms have no choice but to hold their noses and recognize them. They also use soft and hard tactics to deal with the agents who want to be independent.
Financial assistance, the entire history of wealth is dirty.
People who are used to being dirty can simply and roughly hit them with a stick at times like this.
If you go head-to-head with this kind of person, you not only risk bankruptcy, but you also risk being beaten with a sack on the road.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi also has other ideas about Band Heaven.
Although this is not something that comes to mind now, but only during the New Year period, it is just right to use it now when Zhou Fangyuxiong is eyeing it.
He made up his mind and went to see Watanabe Wanyumi, and found that she had been waiting for him to speak.
"Wanyumi-san."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled at her, "I said before that I have something to discuss with you about Band Paradise."
