Once the plan is approved, the next step is to brainstorm ideas.
It is necessary to bring together ideas from all walks of life, select the ones that are available, and use them properly. For this, not only the staff must use their brains, but it is also essential to listen to the opinions of Miwa-chan and Nakamura-nii.
Invite the two of them to participate in the meeting together. Instead of asking them to act as mascots to choose yes or no, we want them to join in and have a discussion around the theme of "outdoor tour".
The most important purpose of this tour is to build up the band's signature and make it the band's live representative work.
Just like "the best person you can be is yourself", the best way to make this tour completely bear the mark of DreamseTrue is to let all the members participate in the production and jointly create a circus in the minds of three people.
When making naon no yaon, Shinichi Iwahashi made an agreement with Miwa-chan that in the future the band would also be able to hold their own outdoor tour and the kind where you can watch fireworks displays.
Now, as he promised, he really had such an opportunity.
When called to attend a meeting on the tour, Miwa-chan was in high spirits and full of energy.
The idea of moving the stage won her heart. After sitting down, she enthusiastically put forward various ideas of her own, including but not limited to Diaowei, inviting a dance troupe to be the backup dancers, and letting the circus animals perform, which she personally
Served as stage costume designer, etc.
Regardless of whether it is realistic or not, it is still confusing to hear.
Judging from the way she opened her mouth, she probably had already rehearsed it in her mind on the way here after receiving Shinichi Iwahashi's call.
She is just waiting for this moment to show off her talents, to contribute her unique ideas and touching aesthetics, and to add a few funny bricks to this outdoor tour.
The meeting was hosted by Watanabe Manyumi. Miwa-chan's whimsical thoughts made her stunned for a while. She couldn't help but glance at Iwahashi Shinichi and saw his unchanging expression. She couldn't help but secretly admire him in her heart.
.
Miwa-chan is responsible for being unrealistic and unimaginative, while Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura are responsible for thinking about more realistic things.
Regarding the details on the stage, Iwahashi Shinichi decided to let Miwa-chan play freely, and then eliminated any ideas that were too unrealistic and bizarre. For example, letting circus animals perform would definitely not work.
The priority should be clear. No matter what you do on the stage, you must ensure that the protagonist is Miwa-chan. Unless she can tame animals and sing at the same time, she will not be discussed at all.
In addition, another important point is to ensure at this stage not to increase unnecessary expenditures outside the main stage.
A meeting was held in a lively manner. After the meeting, Miwa-chan, who had talked too much, had a dry mouth and was frantically replenishing water.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura waited for her to finish refilling the water, and the three of them came out of the office. At the beginning of the Seventh Day of Locust, the air pressure in Tokyo was a bit low, so they didn't run around anywhere and decided to go to Genzo's new office.
Actually, it doesn't matter where I go, I just want to chat.
Firstly, it was to communicate the results of the discussion just now, and secondly, Shinichi Iwahashi also wanted to talk to the two of them about the livehouse. There was no need to delay, especially after deciding to give up Band Paradise and return to the underground to aboveground promotion model.
Iwahashi Shinichi came from the record company, from Genzo to Watanabe Mayumi's u-miz, and you can get there just a short walk away.
So now, the three of them got into Brother Nakamura's Mark II.
The dream of an outdoor tour came true, and the agreement with Shinichi Iwahashi also came true. Miwa-chan was in a very good mood. She had a crooked neck from the moment she got in the car, so she leaned over to him and said, "We are really going to have an outdoor tour."
,Shen Yijun."
"They said we are 'dreamsetrue'." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Miwa-chan nodded, convinced, "So, any wish you make will definitely come true." However, she also knew in her heart that what really makes her wishes come true is not the name of the band "Dreams Come True", but the desire to be able to
Three people who work hard to make their dreams come true.
Especially Shinichi Iwahashi.
She trusted Shinichi Iwahashi unreservedly, so she made another wish for him, "If I want to go on tour, I must go to Hokkaido and Sapporo."
But rather than saying it is making a wish, it is better to say that it is pouring out the truth.
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled at her, "Are you going to 'return home in glory'?"
With the popularity of "Lovegoeson" and the two hit songs "So Happy! So Happy! So Liked!" and "Future Vision II", there is no doubt that DreamseTrue is something that no one in the music industry can ignore.
A powerful band.
Today, when she returns to her hometown in Hokkaido, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is "returning to her hometown in fine clothes".
"I am from Hokkaido, so of course I want to hold a concert in my hometown." Miwa-chan did not deny the matter of "returning to her hometown in glory".
Once you go to Beijing to work hard and become successful, you will naturally want to let the folks back home take a look. This is human nature.
"Besides that, I just want Shinichi-kun," Miwa-chan said, and then she paused and glanced at the back of Nakamura-san's head while he was driving, and then added his name, "and Masato-san."
"I want to take you to Hokkaido and let my family entertain you." Miwa-chan announced.
Masato Nakamura, who was driving in front, laughed, "No matter how I heard it, I felt like I was the one who happened to be there."
"Haha!" Shinichi Iwahashi smiled unkindly at Brother Nakamura's self-deprecation.
However, Miwa-chan corrected her seriously, "That's not the case. I also regard Masato-san as an important and irreplaceable teammate. Although Masato-san says some irritating words from time to time."
"..."
Who is always saying things that make people angry? Nakamura-san complained silently in his mind. However, Miwa-chan recognized him as an irreplaceable and important teammate, so for the sake of this sentence, he didn't care.
Brother Nakamura found a way out for himself and never admitted that it was because Miwa-chan couldn't afford to offend Miwa-chan, who was a rat carrying a gun.
In order to prevent the fight from overturning, Iwahashi Shinichi quickly changed the subject, "Sapporo is a must, but Shizuoka can only be forgotten. It is close to Tokyo and is still a small and inconspicuous place."
Large-scale tour performances will only be held in big cities, Shizuoka, Shinichi Iwahashi's hometown. Unless it is a national tour of small venues in the Mikago Auditorium, there is no need to think about "returning to hometown in glory".
Unlike Sapporo, the largest city in Hokkaido, you can't get around it as long as you launch a nationwide tour.
What's more, the giraffe man's return home in fine clothes is not interesting.
No one likes wearing a hood.
"I don't care. Tokyo is definitely the last stop scheduled anyway."
Nakamura-san, a Tokyo native, was unfazed.
…
When they arrived at the production company's office, the three of them sat down.
Iwahashi Shinichi asked the clerk to make tea. After resting for a while, he didn't hesitate and went straight to the topic, "What do you two think about the investment in the livehouse mentioned last time?"
Miwa-chan's attitude has long been clear, "My royalties are of no use anyway, so there's no harm in giving them to Shinichi-kun."
That’s how she believed in Iwahashi Shinichi.
Masato Nakamura was still concerned about that matter, "Will Watanabe-san join in too? Shinichi-kun."
Shinichi Iwahashi denied, "Watanabe-san is not involved in the production company's affairs."
"Then how do you plan to run the business specifically?" Masato Nakamura asked a more practical question.
Shinichi Iwahashi told him, "I plan to open a livehouse in Tokyo and Osaka at the same time."
"Osaka?" Miwa-chan was a little surprised.
Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "The performance of the road show band at Osaka Castle Park is not inferior to Walkers Paradise at all."
"Osaka seems to be competing with Tokyo everywhere." Miwa-chan said with a smile.
Even she, a native of Hokkaido, knows the grudges between Tokyo and Osaka people. As expected, regional disputes are always a hot topic.
Brother Nakamura was concerned about other things, "Open at the same time?"
"Yes." Shinichi Iwahashi explained, "opening in both places at the same time to create momentum. After the livehouse opens, local bands will be welcome to perform. Not only will they accept famous underground bands, but also unknown bands that have just debuted, and they will also provide additional support to those with potential.
Amateur bands provide performance opportunities, and perhaps good talents can be discovered from them.”
I left my business card to Sheran Q because I have already considered opening a similar livehouse in Osaka.
Although a few days have passed since then, the band has not called him yet. However, whether to call or not, Shinichi Iwahashi has already made his decision.
"Shinichi-kun wants to discover new talents through livehouse?" Masato Nakamura understood.
He thought for a while and said tactfully: "From this point of view, there seems to be no special benefit to me from investing in Livehouse. Livehouse will definitely lose money in its initial operation, and even if it starts to make a profit later, it will not make much money."
On the contrary, Shinichi Iwahashi, who uses livehouse to discover new talents, is the biggest beneficiary.
Teammates are teammates, and when interests are involved, brothers have to settle accounts clearly.
"I think it's good." Miwa-chan thought in her heart.
After stumbling around until she met Shinichi Iwahashi, she got a decent opportunity. She thought that if livehouse could provide opportunities for underground bands, that would be a good thing.
Unlike Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura, she has a complete artist character.
That's why people worry about her. And because of that, no matter how much they worry about her, they don't think she's a trouble.
"Indeed." Iwahashi Shinichi admitted.
"However," he changed his words, "I don't want to benefit myself by taking advantage of my teammates."
He told Brother Nakamura, "So, I plan to operate it in the name of a production company and divide the shares of the production company between you and Miwa-chan."
Talking about ideals with others sounds nice but empty, so you should be more realistic. Especially if the other person is someone like Nakamura-san.
Now is the time to seize the opportunity, decide the direction to work hard, and do not delay what you want to do.
The livehouse partnership was an ideal, but launching a production company made it more realistic. Iwahashi Shinichi showed this card, and Nakamura's attitude softened a bit.
"Actually, even a livehouse may not be worthless."
Iwahashi Shinichi added, "It may be too early to say this now, but after all, we are communicating with investors... Let's open two stores now. If we can establish a signboard in the future, we will open chain stores in major cities across the country and build a brand."
At that time, it will not only provide performances for underground bands, but also become a venue for singers’ touring concerts.”
For singers who pay attention to the live atmosphere, singers who are not popular but have some die-hard fans, and singers who have just debuted and are gaining popularity, a venue with a few hundred people and decent equipment is an excellent place to go.
"Roughly speaking, this is my plan. Of course, I am only focusing on the two companies in Tokyo and Osaka right now." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "If we do it, the specific distribution will need to be negotiated. At that time, we will ask professionals
Here to help.”
Masato Nakamura nodded, "Then let's sit down and discuss it seriously."
This is considered to be more than half settled.
After everything that needed to be said was said, he took off the mask he had been talking about and smiled like Winnie the Pooh, "Anyway, I didn't buy the stocks sold by Okinawa Electric Power Company yesterday. I still have some money on hand now.
"
In other words, after Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned the idea of opening a livehouse that day, Brother Nakamura gave up the idea of buying stocks and waited for him to explain the matter clearly before deciding whether to invest.
Giving up an obvious opportunity to make a fortune and waiting to see Shinichi Iwahashi's arrangements was obviously also out of trust in Shinichi Iwahashi.
However, Nakamura-san's trust is not unconditional like Miwa-chan's.
In other words, people like Miwa-chan are exceptions.
…
Things have almost been discussed, but we still have to do it slowly. The backlog of work at hand has to be done one by one.
If you want to open a livehouse in Tokyo, you will naturally have to rely on Mineshima to help with coordination and site selection. As for the Osaka side, depending on the situation, you can entrust an agency, or leave it to Mineshima and let him find someone you can trust.
Fengdao has been in the underground music circle for so long, driving his band everywhere to perform, and has some connections in the underground music circles in Kanto, Kansai and Guanzhong.
There is no need for Iwahashi Shinichi to do it himself for the time being, so he can just spare his energy to do other work first.
Operating the livehouse in the name of a production company is not simply to reassure the two teammates. Shinichi Iwahashi also has other considerations.
That is, his genzo is now in space.
This production company, which is completely controlled by him, is almost worthless at present. If it is broken down and sold, it will not make a lot of money. At the current stage, he is concentrating on the record company, but that does not mean that he will leave the production company alone.
Put it aside as an empty shell.
No matter what the purpose was, whether it was a way out or a bargaining chip to negotiate terms in the future, he would fill this production company with blood and flesh to make it more valuable.
In this way, it only makes sense for him, who has absolute control, to hold this production company.
…
In the evening, Shinichi Iwahashi stayed at the production company to work overtime.
The next meeting will be in the morning the day after tomorrow. Before that, he needs to sort out the ideas he has for the outdoor tour. He is indeed starting his own business, and he is willing to enjoy it even if he works overtime.
It was after eight o'clock, and all the staff at the production company had finished work, and he was the only one staying in the office.
I was busy writing when the pager on the table rang.
Iwahashi Shinichi glanced at the number above, put down his pen, and reached for the phone receiver on the table.
