He dreamed that he was walking on the promenade carrying a birdcage with a skylark in it. Car bells jingled behind him, and a bicycle rode up.
The girl on the bicycle was wearing his giraffe hood. Although he couldn't see her face, Iwahashi Shinichi knew that she was Akina Nakamori.
Akina Nakamori stepped on the pedal, and when she passed him, she rang the bell.
The bicycle passed by him, getting further and further away, and turned into a black dot. Unable to catch up with her, Iwahashi Shinichi opened the birdcage, and the skylark flapped its wings and rushed in the direction where the black dot disappeared.
The sharp ringtone passed from the dream to the outside of the dream, and then from outside the dream into the dream. When Shinichi Iwahashi opened his eyes, he realized that the ringtone came from the phone beside his bed.
A phone call early in the morning always carries an ominous sense of urgency. He stretched out his arm and picked up the phone.
"Shinichi-kun."
The voice on the phone was Watanabe Wanyumi's voice. She paused and said, "I'm sorry, aren't you up yet?"
"What happened?"
Iwahashi Shinichi went to get the watch on his bedside. It was almost ten minutes past seven. He usually woke up at this time. He probably ran too many places yesterday and was overtired, so he fell asleep until now.
"The locusts are dead and collapsed." Watanabe Manyumi told him.
Iwahashi Shinichi rubbed his temples and reacted, "Collapse?"
Watanabe Manyumi thought he didn't understand what "collapsed" meant, so she explained, "He died after being killed by a locust."
"Oh." Iwahashi Shinichi finished his reaction and woke up.
"I'll wait for you in the lobby, see you later." Watanabe Wan Yumi said nothing more on the phone, disturbing his dream.
Iwahashi Shinichi agreed, put down the phone and turned on the TV without changing the channel. Every TV station showed a still picture, accompanied by the six Chinese characters "His Majesty Tian Locust collapsed", and the male host repeatedly repeated that Tian Locust died early this morning.
He had no other thoughts on the matter of Tian Locust having his braids raised, except that he was very pleased with it.
Compared with whether the locust will die, he is more concerned about how to deal with the changes brought about by the national mourning period. After all, once such a special incident occurs, the entertainment industry will be the focus of attention.
The self-restraint period that has lasted for several months has given Shinichi Iwahashi a vaccination, giving him a certain understanding of the situation he may face next.
After confirming the news, Shinichi Iwahashi turned off the TV and walked into the bathroom.
After regaining consciousness and shaving in front of the mirror, he suddenly remembered the dream in the morning. Akina Nakamori wearing his hood...
Akina Nakamori always thinks about wearing his hood to play with. If I tell her this dream, I don’t know how she will react.
After cleaning himself up, Shinichi Iwahashi went to the lobby to meet Watanabe Manyumi.
Watanabe Wan Yumi was explaining something to the staff in the line. Iwahashi Shinichi walked over. She smiled at him and said, "Sorry, I seem to have woken you up."
The staff member exchanged greetings with Shinichi Iwahashi, spoke to Watanabe Wan Yumi, and walked away first.
"It's okay if you get woken up by something like this." Shinichi Iwahashi joked in a relaxed tone. He sat down opposite her and looked at Watanabe Wan Yumi. She also looked relaxed.
The same is true for Watanabe Manyumi. There is only one reason why she pays attention to the time when Tenko dies. It is that when Tenko dies, Japan will enter a period of national mourning that lasts for 7,749 days.
Unlike the self-restraint period in the second half of last year, the period of national mourning will have more and stricter restrictions on singing and dancing entertainment activities. This will undoubtedly be a big trouble for the entertainment industry.
In fact, not only the two of them, but also the people passing by in the hall, everyone looked like they were no different from usual. Whether the locust is alive or dead is a symbol to the general public.
Change.
"Call me in Tokyo early in the morning." Watanabe Manyumi told him, "After listening to the call, I don't know what to do next, so I might as well call you first and tell you about it."
The implication was that she could tell him when he came out, but since she didn't know what to do, she gave him a call first.
There is quite a demeanor of beating a child while doing nothing on a rainy day.
"Anyway, let's confirm first."
Iwahashi Shinichi thought openly and didn't care about her early morning prank, "What are the regulations at the TV station?"
"Within 48 hours, all programs and advertisements will be suspended, and news related to the death of Locust will be broadcast throughout the day, as well as a review of Locust's life."
Watanabe Mayumi also clicked to the end and rushed to the theme.
"As a result, deramsetrue's album advertising can only be temporarily suspended. What about forty-eight hours later?"
"We still need to discuss it. But during the first seven years, the TV station will definitely not have a good time."
It is impossible to expect the public to really watch the 7749 Heavenly Kingdom mourning period, but at least during the first 7 days, the TV stations have to put their tail between their legs and do things. Even if the artists participate in the program, they have to restrain their emotions and not be too happy.
.
After all, when the Locusts are raising their eyebrows, there are already activists who are busy campaigning for the abolition of the Locust System, and there are also conservatives who are keeping an eye on the entertainment industry, waiting to catch them and make various complaints.
"Fortunately, the publicity for the first week was completely completed," said Shinichi Iwahashi.
With this first week of advertising, the popularity has been maintained. Even if the advertising is temporarily suspended, the promotion campaign has been launched. The only thing that is relatively weak is the two days when the advertising is suspended. This part of the loss will be borne by the business
All costs are your own responsibility.
However, looking at the album sales feedback this week, this advertising fee is nothing.
Compared with the impact of the TV station being suspended, the worst thing is that there are singers scheduled to hold concerts today and tomorrow. As a result, the concerts can only be canceled and re-opened at a later date.
However, the stage of the venue has been set up long ago, and the venue rent has been paid. You have to pay for setting up the stage and dismantling the stage. The rent already paid will not be refunded. If there is a national mourning, you can only bear the losses yourself.
None of the singers under him have any ongoing concerts, which is really lucky for a small company like Shinichi Iwahashi.
Compared to other activities, losing money at a concert is more heartbreaking.
"There are also performances by the Takarazuka Theater Company." Watanabe Manyumi said, "The theater performances today and tomorrow have been confirmed to be cancelled."
She was a little disappointed. It was rare that she prepared to watch the troupe's performance with the heart of "come here".
They will return to Tokyo tomorrow. Now, they don't have to watch the show.
"The TV series also has to be postponed, right?" Shinichi Iwahashi thought about it.
Watanabe Manyumi nodded, "Fuji Channel's Moon Nine will be postponed for one week."
"If this is the case, the band's sales in the first week of debut will probably be very bad." Iwahashi Shinichi said this, but he was not very worried.
