When he just resigned from Watanabe Productions and started his own business with five million yen in savings, Iwahashi Shinichi was extremely poor. He only took the first step by relying on the one and a half square meters of land and the back door of Takenouchi Akihito.
When Nakamori Akina mentioned it, Iwahashi Shinichi recalled the past when he was short of money and would ride on Watanabe Mayumi's car from time to time.
When he opened a production company, he initially relied on his connections as a manager to produce a large collection of covers for the Tokyo Music Industry Association. For one album, he could get about 500,000 yen, and an order was for five copies.
The production fee paid in advance has to be deducted. In addition, the company's daily operations, even if it is a sparrow temple, is not a small amount, and the 12 million yen obtained from the loan are constantly burning.
It wasn't until Band Paradise decided to launch and the production company negotiated and obtained the production rights for the singles of the band that only won one issue that they were able to find a relatively stable job.
During this period, he took over the production rights of Chisato Moritaka and allowed her to successfully transform. The production company received about 80 million yen from just one song of "17".
However, as soon as Chisato Moritaka became famous, the production contract signed with Warner ended, and the other party took back the production rights. However, during the entire contract period, including production fees, song royalties, and record sharing, approximately 130 million was recorded.
Ten million yen.
Not counting the subsequent royalties generated by Chisato Moritaka singing Seiichiro Kuribayashi's songs.
In addition, "17" also made Iwahashi Shinichi famous in the industry, allowing him to obtain the production rights of WINK.
The two girls have a good momentum, and they are not like Chisato Moritaka, who had their production rights taken back by the record company as soon as they became popular. So far, the production shares they have received from them are quite considerable.
At the moment, with WINK in hand and the band Heaven as a job, we continue to produce cover albums and undertake underground album production...
Although due to the sale of Band Paradise, Shinichi Iwahashi had to face the reality that the show may end sooner than he imagined and think about the production company's new way out, but for now, it is still stable.
While working as a producer in a production company, he also serves as the producer of DREAMS COME TRUE in his personal capacity, and also participates in arranging and singing -
Although Miwa-chan has been praised as having no singing talent, it doesn't stop him from earning some money.
The share of individual named producers is different, but since the debut of DREAMS COME TRUE, the total number of singles and albums released has reached approximately 1.5 million copies. The price of singles and albums are different, so calculate them separately.
, together with the production fee, plus the share of arrangement and singing——
From the arrangement and singing portion, the portion given to Watanabe Manyumi's U-MIZ will also be deducted.
If you only calculate royalties, singers, especially singer-songwriters, seem to make a lot of money. However, the royalties they receive have to be redistributed with the agency according to the share signed in the contract, and not all of them go into their own pockets.
But even so, Shin Iwahashi alone earned 120 million yen from the band.
That is to say, the two identities of producer and singer are calculated separately when calculating the tax amount. If they are all included in the singer, Shinichi Iwahashi will be on the singer tax list next year as a fake harmonist.
After settling the accounts, it seems that I am not so serious about being poor anymore...
But he couldn't bear to spend as much as he earned. In the early stage, he had to burn money all by himself. The money he earned could not just stay in his pocket, but had to be kept by his side in other ways.
.
Now that I have a girlfriend again, even though I talk about how soft and delicious I am every day, I don’t really wait for my girlfriend to pay with a credit card in a restaurant.
And now we are in the bubble era where just going out for a date costs a lot of money...
Still very poor.
Especially when he thinks about his girlfriend sitting next to him, who is a rich little woman who has been on the singer tax list every year, this feeling of poverty is even worse.
However, before that, he still answered Akina Nakamori, who was waiting for an answer after asking this question, "It's okay."
The little rich girlfriend who is listed on the singer tax list every year is concerned about financial issues, which is more or less soft and fragrant.
It may be soft and fragrant in daily life, but it is different when it involves large sums of money.
Shinichi Iwahashi could more or less guess what she was thinking, and he was obedient. According to Akina Nakamori, if Shinichi Iwahashi said that his financial situation was not good, Taopusida could really lend him money.
But the more he felt her unthinking purity, the less willing Iwahashi Shinichi was to do that.
He thought for a moment and mentioned something, "The band's 'Blue Shirt' sold 206,000 copies in the first week."
"I know, champion of the week." Akina Nakamori clapped her hands, "Congratulations!"
In fact, when the first week's data came out, she called to congratulate her once. However, there is such a side in her personality. It is difficult to say whether it is a natural childishness or a residual habit of the person who has been the lively atmosphere at home since she was a child.
"Looking at the feedback data, it seems that we can win another championship this week." Shinichi Iwahashi smiled and accepted her congratulations, "I heard from people at the record company that there seem to be sellers requesting additional orders.
"
With this momentum, there is a high probability that this single will be reprinted. It was originally expected to have a final sales volume of 600,000 to 700,000 copies, but the current situation, what kind of number will it end up at, the agency, the record company,
As for Iwahashi Shinichi, it is also difficult to determine.
"Really?" Nakamori Akina was stunned when she heard this.
Iwahashi Shin nodded and smiled, "Thanks to Akina-san for choosing the blue shirt for me."
"Um……"
She nodded her head, but what she said was: "But it was Yoshida-san who wrote the lyrics, and it's thanks to her."
"So, you and Yoshida-san secretly cooperated with each other."
Iwahashi Shinichi said this, and Nakamori Akina glanced at him secretly, "Because Shinichi-kun looks very suitable in a blue shirt."
The person who chooses the blue shirt, the person who wears the blue shirt appropriately, the person who can write the appropriate blue shirt into the lyrics...
That's how the song "Eyes to me" came about.
Iwahashi Shinichi quickly brought the topic back, "Anyway, I can make a lot of money just from this single. So don't worry, now it's President-san who can go out with his girlfriend without any burden.
"
The inspiration she provided to Miwa-chan came back to her in another way.
Hearing what he said, Nakamori Akina couldn't help laughing.
"Yeah, after all, he is the powerful president Sang." She nodded.
She didn't know anything about the company. She only heard Iwahashi Shinichi say that the band was popular and would get a lot of profits, so she felt relieved and put the matter aside, and started talking about other things.
The journey between the two of us was more interesting, it didn't feel boring, and we returned to Tokyo unknowingly.
Back in Tokyo, we had agreed to stay overnight. Iwahashi Shinichi did not send Nakamori Akina home, but took her to his place.
Although the soft and fragrant rice was not eaten, there was another fragrant and soft rice——
