Fujifilm's new season Quiap commercial invites Momoko Kikuchi to shoot.
She would give up the popular advertising stars at the moment, and instead of choosing a newer idol with a cheaper price, she would choose Momoko Kikuchi. This decision was made with Shinichi Iwahashi's advice.
Shooting advertisements costs a lot of money but has a high exposure rate.
Quiap is a popular product, so this job opportunity is excellent. The office is happy, and Momoko Kikuchi readily agrees. After it is confirmed, we will hold a three-way meeting with Fujifilm and Dentsu today.
Sign the contract, get the ad script, and finalize the details.
Momoko Kikuchi has a gentle personality and has always had a good attitude towards the staff. She is a veritable idol next door of the innocent school. With such a girl, when you talk to her about things, the other person will feel at ease.
When she smiles politely and implicitly, there is no sense of distance, nor does she seem too friendly and lose her idol-like feeling. The just right degree is not something carefully calculated, but is reflected in her person.
The person who came to discuss with Kikuchi Momoko today was still the representative from Fujifilm, and the one sent from Dentsu was Hiroyuki Narita's subordinate.
After the matter was discussed and settled, Momoko Kikuchi's agent thanked them.
The representative of Fujifilm thought about Shinichi Iwahashi's strong recommendation and wanted to sell it as a favor, so he told them that it was GenZo's Iwahashi-san who recommended Momoko Kikuchi.
He said it and asked half curiously: "Do Kikuchi-san and Iwahashi-san have any friendship?"
When Momoko Kikuchi heard "GenZo's Iwahashi-san", the name ZARD popped into her mind and she remembered that he was the producer of that band...
However, she had only heard of the name.
Momo Kikuchi looked confused when asked by the Fujifilm representative, "You're talking about GenZo's Iwahashi-san...?"
This confusion is not fake. The representative of Fujifilm made a little mistake and was a little embarrassed. He casually explained: "Iwahashi-san is the producer of DREAMS E TRUE. The advertisement song you are going to shoot this time is composed by DREAMS E
TRUE provided."
"When we contacted Iwahashi-san, he recommended Kikuchi-san and spoke highly of you."
Iwahashi-san recommended her to star in this commercial?
Momoko Kikuchi never thought that she would be able to get involved with the producer Iwahashi in this way.
The episode turned around, and the representative of Fujifilm didn't take it to heart. But the agent who was listening in did remember it. On the way back, he asked Momoko Kikuchi, "Momoko really doesn't know that Iwahashi-san?"
"I really don't know him."
Momoko Kikuchi responded to the inquiries from her agent with a good temper.
However, as I was talking, I remembered something. Although I don’t know Iwahashi-san, she once recommended ZARD’s single on a radio program.
Later, I heard that ZARD’s record company used her recommendation to produce a special program with J-WAVE, using the popularity brought about by her as a primer and adding fuel to the fire.
I recently went to the studio to film a movie and heard from the staff that the theme songs of TV series are currently selling very well.
That Iwahashi-san is really awesome.
This was not the first time that Momoko Kikuchi thought this in her heart.
"That Iwahashi-san is pretty awesome."
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard her agent say the same thing and was startled.
"Why?"
"That Iwahashi-san is good at making idols and bands. He's a good match for you, Momoko-chan."
The manager mentioned it, "In my opinion, if you let that Iwahashi-san give it a try, you might be able to become famous again. It just so happens that he thinks you're pretty good."
Momoko Kikuchi didn't answer.
The agency was eager for quick success and quick success in her transformation, and she no longer trusted them. After going round and round, she now came to the path of being an actor...
Momoko Kikuchi thought of Iwasaki Kayumi's words for a moment, and her words "I might as well set up a firm and be your agent myself." She said it was a joke, but she knew that these words may not contain Iwasaki Kayumi's sincerity.
In September, the contract with the firm expired.
She thought about it over and over again, and came across this problem that she had to start thinking about how to face. She was upset, thinking about it, and then thought of Iwahashi Shinichi.
Was it because she recommended ZARD's song that Iwahashi-san turned around and recommended her to star in the commercial? Momoko Kikuchi thought to herself.
If she wanted a reason, then this was the only thing she could think of that had anything to do with Iwahashi-san.
…
Iwahashi Shinichi finished replenishing the goods and came out of the convenience store with large and small bags. As he was walking back, he heard the pager ringing. He took it out and saw that it was a call from a representative of Fujifilm.
Not knowing what was going on, he looked around, walked into the phone booth, and called back.
"Hello, I am Iwahashi."
On the other end of the phone, the representative of Fujifilm was friendly and told him that he had signed a contract with Momoko Kikuchi to use her to shoot the next season of Quiap commercials.
"Today I met Kikuchi-san, and I feel that it is really suitable for him. Iwahashi-san's vision is indeed trustworthy." The representative of Fujifilm was sincerely convinced.
Iwahashi Shinichi politely and modestly said a few words.
"I also told Kikuchi-san that it was Iwahashi-san who recommended her."
This was the original intention of the call made by the representative of Fujifilm. It was a small mistake, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about it later, so he simply called Shinichi Iwahashi to express his gratitude, which just solved the presumptuousness just now.
Shinichi Iwahashi chatted with him on the phone for a while, and the Fujifilm representative started talking a lot. He also asked him about his progress in learning to develop photos.
"I've just been there two or three times, and I'm still struggling with the basics," he said.
The representative of Fujifilm said "Come on" in a decent manner, probably because it is rare to encounter a music producer like Shinichi Iwahashi who wants to enter the darkroom and learn to develop photos.
Iwahashi Shinichi was thinking that there was Topo Star waiting for him to take the towel back for him to take a bath at home. Since there was nothing on the phone, he thought about ending the call.
The Fujifilm representative also wanted to invite him out for a drink at night, and there was someone waiting to have dinner with him at home, so naturally he had no choice but to decline.
After Erren refused, Iwahashi Shinichi politely said that he would invite him next time, put down the phone, crossed the street and walked into the apartment.
After returning home, he put his things at the door. There was no one in the living room, and there was no movement in the bathroom. Shinichi Iwahashi opened the bedroom door and looked inside. Akina Nakamori was huddled in the bed, sleeping soundly.
The tiny person was completely hidden under the quilt, with only his head exposed.
Iwahashi Shinichi stood at the door, looking at her sleeping state. He was hesitating whether to wake her up, but she started to grumble and was about to wake up.
He was still huddled in bed, blinking his eyes, and then closed them again when he saw Shinichi Iwahashi standing at the door.
"..." Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless.
After a while, I opened it again and looked at him again. He was still in a daze and casually mentioned: "There was a call just now..."
It's the phone call again.
The representative of Fujifilm would not call his home, Iwahashi Shinichi thought to himself, he didn't know who it was.
