Masaki Yoshida was alert and noticed Shinichi Iwahashi's little move, stepped aside a little, and introduced him at the right time: "This is the newcomer recommended by Producer Sakai."
The young girl who had been standing behind him waiting silently from a moment ago lowered her head to Shinichi Iwahashi and handed over the business card she had prepared long ago.
"Hello, I am Mijima Iijima."
The young girl maintained a humble posture of bowing at ninety degrees.
Shinichi Iwahashi took the business card and glanced at it, "Hello, my surname is Iwahashi." He also took out the business card and handed it over.
A young girl named Mijima Iijima took the business card with both hands and straightened up.
The first impression is that she is a pretty ordinary-looking girl, probably in her early twenties, with an introverted and ordinary face that has nothing to do with being pretty or lively, the kind of nothing that you can find a few anywhere.
A girl with presence.
I won't have any fond impression of her, but I won't be bored at first glance either.
In short, he is an ordinary office worker. This is Shinichi Iwahashi's first impression of Mijima Iijima.
After Mijima Iijima presented him with his business card, he stood aside and remained silent.
Iwahashi Shinichi made an internal call and first asked the staff to take her to familiarize herself with the working environment - of course, after dismissing her, it was also convenient for Yoshida Masaki, the "introducer", to talk about more specific things.
"Iijima-kun used to work as a clerk in Sakai-san's personal office. Sakai-san thought highly of her. He thought she could endure hardships, was quite observant, and had a strong learning ability."
Yoshida Masaki said: "However, although she is not completely ignorant of the industry, after all, she was mostly talking on paper before. So, I have to work hard for you."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "Sakai-san's evaluation of her is not low, so I'm not too worried."
Being able to endure hardship and being able to observe words and emotions are two essential things for a behind-the-scenes staff member.
In comparison, things like being smart and clever are ranked behind these two.
There is no need to go out of your way to brag on her behalf by sending an unrelated employee. Iwahashi Shinichi believes that the evaluation given by Sakai Masatoshi is credible. It is not 100%, but it can be 70 or 80%.
"However, Sakai-san is so optimistic about someone, so he sent her to the small company Genzo." Iwahashi Shinichi said implicitly.
Yoshida Masaki understood immediately when he heard that he was talking nonsense, so he explained with a smile: "Although genzo has just started and is still inconspicuous, Iwahashi-kun is not an unknown person in the music industry. Sentaka Senri, wink, and
With those who are currently involved in the production of Dreams Come True, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are ‘always on target’.”
Masatoshi Sakai is affiliated with Sony as a producer, so he naturally knows the details of Dreams Come True.
Arranging Moritaka Chisato's transformation, using comprehensive magazines as an unprecedented means to promote her, and using Minami Saori's power to send her to the Red and White Song Festival, Iwahashi Shinichi's strategy was completed in one go, and it was enough to be regarded as a new promotion by the industry.
reference template.
Even though Wink only decided the route, was responsible for the song production, and was not deeply involved, his idea of turning the shortcomings of the two girls into features still showed his excellent vision.
Unlike when he was producing Chisato Moritaka, where he did everything by himself, Shinichi Iwahashi rarely met the two girls Wink, and only participated in their song selection meetings. He was not always there when the recording started, and he basically took charge of everything.
The reason for this is because Chisato Moritaka was directly outsourced to the production company Genzo, while in Wink, only Shinichi Iwahashi was hired as a producer by the up-front agency.
Nowadays, Wink, which started out as a cover singer, is developing smoothly because it has successively produced two sets of popular idols for the up-front agency, and the relationship between Shin Iwahashi and the agency is unprecedentedly harmonious.
However, the cover song opened up the popularity and popularity, and people like "Music Box Girl Who Dances for No One" established themselves and became widely known. Then it was time for Wink to arrange an original song to be sung as the title song.
Two sets of popular idols, one popular band, and today's Shinichi Iwahashi, as a producer, is no longer an unknown figure in the music industry. Before he even realizes it, he has caught the attention of many people.
Masato Sakai is also one of these "many people".
"Because you, Iwahashi-kun, are not unknown in the industry, in Sakai-san's eyes, genzo is a place worthy of entrusting promising employees."
Yoshida Masaki's words are very clear at this point. To put it bluntly, he agrees with Yoshida Masaki to introduce Iijima Mitoto to Iwahashi Shinichi. Sakai Masatoshi also has plans to establish a connection with Iwahashi Shinichi.
It is a good thing to be remembered by others. Iwahashi Shinichi understood it and expressed his position: "Afterwards, I will say thank you to Sakai-san for his trust."
...Of course, thanking you is a reason to contact me.
"And Yoshida-san, thank you for sending Iijima to my place."
Iwahashi Shinichi is not a fool, and Yoshida Masaki probably also contributed a lot in this matter.
Once the line is established, it will be beneficial to the record company. No matter who Yoshida Masaki is doing it for, since he brought Mitochi Iijima to him instead of handing it to Watanabe Manyumi, Iwahashi Shinichi thinks it is for him.
Sakai Masatoshi handed him the thread, and Yoshida Masaki was willing to match him. There was no reason not to seize it.
Shinichi Iwahashi appreciated it, and Masaki Yoshida nodded with satisfaction, "In short, I leave everything to you, Iwahashi-kun."
Yoshida Masaki first noticed Iwahashi Shinichi, naturally because of Watanabe Manyumi, but later on he also sincerely admired him. If he hadn't admired him, he wouldn't have insisted on speaking for him even though he knew his wife hated Iwahashi Shinichi.
As a producer, Masatoshi Sakai has a high status in the industry. Although he now does more than just work as a music producer, he still considers himself a musician.
Since he has such a mentality and wants to establish a connection, it is obvious that sending Iijima Sanchi to Iwahashi Shinichi would win Sakai Masatoshi's heart more than dealing with a pure black man like Wan Yumi.
Yoshida Masaki has been working in a television station all day long, and also represents Watanabe Productions in dealing with all walks of life. He has long been a human spirit.
Although after becoming aware of Wan Yumi's subtle attitude and being warned by his wife, Yoshida Masaki restrained his desire to bring Shinichi Iwahashi and Wan Yumi together, he knew in his heart that as long as the record company was around, both Iwahashi Shinichi and Wan Yumi would be prosperous.
Whether out of appreciation or considering the development of the record company, Masaki Yoshida doesn't mind, or in other words, he is happy to cultivate Iwahashi Shinichi.
Yoshida Masaki saw off Iijima Mitochi, but did not stay here for long. He chatted for a few words and quickly stood up to leave.
Iwahashi Shinichi made an agreement with him, and then the company would be the host to entertain him. Yoshida Masaki readily agreed and showed a very willing attitude to be on good terms with him.
After personally sending Masaki Yoshida downstairs, Shinichi Iwahashi looked at the time and saw that it was less than half an hour before the scheduled departure time for the recording studio.
He was thinking about how he should arrange this Iijima Sanchi.
