When Yoko Minamino debuted, she signed a record deal with Sony through the introduction of Shunichi Mizukura. Shunichi Mizukura had worked closely with Sony and provided songs for Sony's legendary idol Momoe Yamaguchi.
Nowadays, idol songs are out of fashion, Sony has a good relationship with Shinichi Iwahashi, and more than one singer under Sony also participated in this project.
The snowball is getting bigger and bigger, and Sony is becoming more and more interested in this project, hoping that it can really make a name for itself.
When Shinichi Iwahashi was about to send the invitation to Minamino Yoko, he did not contact the office. Instead, he went directly to discuss with Sony, who would send the invitation on his behalf.
Through the record company, if Sony agrees to contact them on their behalf, it means that Junichi Mizukura will not only face the invitation of chief producer Shinichi Iwahashi, but also the wishes of Sony.
He refused rashly without giving a reason for his refusal, which inevitably made the people at Sony think he was petty.
It's not a big deal just to make Sony think it's trivial, but this project involves such a wide range of influence that if Shunichi Mizukura refuses, half of the industry will know about it.
Not only that, the three people who collaborated on this song include Sakamoto Fuyumi, whom Inamata Kimaki loves like his daughter.
Before her debut, Fuyumi Sakamoto worked part-time as a driver for Inomata Kōsho, and she met many people in the entertainment industry. Everyone in the industry knew how much Inomata Kōsho valued this disciple, and all her route planning since her debut came from Inomata Kōsho.
When a rising star of enka crosses over to collaborate with an idol, there must be something to do with the Inomata official seal. If the rejection is unreasonable and the song cannot be produced, Shunichi Mizukura will also be embarrassed by the enka group.
One thing after another is added together, and it's like countless threads are woven into a big net, trapping Junichi Mizukura in the middle. If he refuses, he will have to tear this net apart.
Tearing this network apart means losing face in the industry.
However, Junichi Mizukura pays more attention to his face in the industry than anyone else.
His peak period as a composer has passed, and it is difficult to regain his past glory. He is now actively serving in the Music Association in order to seek a higher position in the future. He has changed from pursuing sales to pursuing power.
Because of this, Mizukura Shunichi must be more concerned about his reputation in the industry, and he must not antagonize the enka school, which has a strong say in the Music Association.
If Iwahashi Shinichi had sent the invitation at the very beginning of the plan, Mizukura Shunichi could have been more stubborn and refused. But he sent it after the plan had already taken shape, so Mizukura Shunichi had to accept being given by this network.
Live the facts online.
For a long-term plan, I nodded and asked Minano Yoko to join this project.
Only in this way can you maintain your dignity.
Mizukura Shunichi used his power to suppress others and used his power in the music industry to force Minamino Yoko to the point where he could no longer advance or retreat, and could only fight to the death.
Unexpectedly, there would be another person later who would also take advantage of the situation to oppress others. It was the power in the music industry that Shunichi Mizukura wanted to make friends with, so that he did not dare to tear this network apart and had no choice but to submit obediently.
Everything is mutual.
For the sake of Shunichi Mizukura, no one in the industry reached out to Minamino Yoko who wanted to change jobs, so she had to face the worst outcome - she had to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages and become an independent artist.
But in the same way, Shunichi Mizukura must also give the same rewards to the industry.
When Minamino Yoko was still an artist under him and was invited to participate in a project that half of the industry was participating in, he agreed with the overall situation in mind instead of just rejecting it out of spite.
When it comes to that, Junichi Mizukura's reputation in the industry will be compromised. He is not a fool, and he will not really pay such a price for Minamino Yoko.
no way.
Mizukura Shunichi could only go against his will and leave time to complete this collaboration in Minamino Yoko's originally packed schedule.
…
Previously, Fuyumi Sakamoto was curious about what idol she wanted to collaborate with. Iwahashi Shinichi delayed telling her the answer. In fact, he did it intentionally to wait for the opportunity.
When attracting the forces behind other singers to participate, they can take advantage of the growing success of the project and the names of the big-name singers who have already joined.
However, Minamino Yoko's situation is exactly the opposite. Not only does Mizukura Junichi not want her to continue to be popular, he even wants to treat her as a disposable fast-moving consumer goods and put her in the recycling bin after the end of this year.
Therefore, in order to achieve the goal and bring Minamino Yoko in, we can only use this method of "pressing others with power" and change the time of sending the invitation until Mizukura Junichi has to agree.
And the invitation was sent directly to Sony, asking Sony to come forward to discuss with Shunichi Mizukura. Firstly, it was to add a few more threads to the network, and secondly, it was to remove himself quietly.
Sony came forward, so this cooperation project has the support of Sony, rather than Shinichi Iwahashi deliberately poking Shunichi Mizukura's lung tube with a stick.
From the first glance of Iwahashi Shin, this Mizukura Shunichi, who squeezed Minamino Yoko to the extreme while still being timid and afraid of offending the industry, was really not that much of a character.
Even if he has written songs for big stars and is a veteran in the industry, he may even be a senior executive in the music association in the future.
That's all.
The two female idols who are planning to collaborate with Sakamoto Fuyumi have both played the heroines of "Tai Mei Criminal", and they both became popular through this TV series. Asako Yui, her agency and record company agreed very happily
——
The reason for this is because she is planning to transform Yui Asaka.
It is obvious how long the journey of idols is, and this year's disastrous defeat of the Men's Douhu Team and Akina Nakamori put this matter on the table.
Seeing the rise of the band trend, companies are trying to find ways to extend the lifespan of their idols. As a promoter of the band trend, Iwahashi Shinichi's talent in producing bands is also recognized by the industry. Being friends with him will be beneficial to the transformation that is being brewed.
.
Unlike Yoko Minamino, who is fighting with the agency and whose future is unknown, Yui Asaka is still a treasure held by the agency. As long as anything that is beneficial to her future development, the agency and the record company are willing to pave the way for her.
Asaka only got it easy, Minamino Yoko waited a few days, Sony called Iwahashi Shinichi and informed Mizukura Shunichi that he was also willing to join this cooperation - as Iwahashi Shinichi expected
.
At this point, the matter is settled. I just have to wait for the two female idols to meet and communicate with Shinichi Iwahashi.
Once things were done, the next time Shinichi Iwahashi went to Yoyogi's recording studio, he saw Yukiko Okada and received a big smile from her.
"Iwahashi-san, you invited Yoko-chan to do the planning!"
Looking at her happy smiling face, it seems that Iwahashi Shinichi invited Minamino Yoko to do the planning, and she was the happiest person.
Iwahashi Shinichi picked up the tea she brought and said, "Well, I invited Minano-san."
"Youko-chan called me and said, 'The record company has received a cooperation project from Iwahashi-san of GENZO.'" Okada Yukiko pressed her knees with both hands, bent over and stood next to Iwahashi Shinichi, and couldn't wait to say
stand up.
Iwahashi Shin couldn't help laughing when he saw her wanting to talk and remembering that it was working time, and pointed to the empty seat next to her.
After receiving permission, Okada Yukiko immediately sat down. Looking at this, she had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
"Youko-chan was shocked. She was still undecided at first. She didn't know if the Iwahashi-san who sent me the plan and the Iwahashi-san I mentioned to her are the same person."
"I didn't expect that Iwahashi-san would invite her." Okada Yukiko sighed with emotion.
This tone made Iwahashi Shinichi laugh. When he met Okada Yukiko's incomprehensible look, he said, "I have never met Minamino-san in person. I have heard you talk a lot about her."
When mentioning this, Okada Yukiko showed a small, shy expression, "Youko-chan has also heard me tell a lot about you."
"You didn't say anything bad about me, did you?" Shinichi Iwahashi teased her.
Okada Yukiko shook her head repeatedly and said with a serious face, "I won't do that."
"Yeah, yeah." Iwahashi Shin nodded.
While ordering, I remembered the time when this working girl "complained" to Akina Nakamori for working overtime.
"Yoko-chan said she was very happy." Okada Yukiko said, "I didn't expect to be able to cooperate with you." She said, feeling a little embarrassed, "She also said, I will definitely tell you these words."
"Really?" Iwahashi Shinichi laughed.
Okada Yukiko was even more embarrassed by his smile, and her expression looked even more childish, "Youko-chan has seen through it. However, I still can't help it."
"I'm also very happy to be able to collaborate with Minamino-san." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "I'm relieved that she can participate."
"However, I was able to invite Yoko-chan in..."
Okada Yukiko recalled Minano Yoko's unexpected tone and looked at Iwahashi Shinichi and thought he was incredible.
Minamino Yoko's workload has been getting more and more complicated recently, and she sometimes only sleeps three hours a day. Mizukura Junichi has made it clear that he wants to destroy her. But Minamino Yoko is stubborn, and Mizukura Junichi becomes more and more arrogant.
The more you don't bow your head, you must get rid of this vampire boss.
Okada Yukiko was on the phone with Minano Yoko. Not long after they talked, she heard her yawning on the other end of the phone.
Minamino Yoko was really happy to accept this collaborative job. Compared to Mizukura Junichi's unruly oppression, the recording studio was simply a pure land where she could temporarily relax.
It would be great if Iwahashi-san could come up with a way for Yoko-chan to terminate the contract peacefully.
This thought flashed through Okada Yukiko's mind. Last time, she told him all about the contract. But she shook her head in her heart, feeling that she was so dependent on Iwahashi Shinichi and pushed everything to him.
, seems too willful, and should not cause him such irrelevant trouble.
"Yoko-chan is very cute and can sing well."
Okada Yukiko changed the subject, but she also sincerely praised her friends. While talking, she remembered that she had already learned that Nakamori Akina would also participate in this project, and said: "Now, my two best friends
Everyone is here to participate in your plan."
"Yes." Iwahashi Shinichi agreed.
Okada Yukiko smiled, "I'm very happy."
She has a good relationship with Minamino Yoko and also likes Akina Nakamori. She hopes to introduce her good friend to Iwahashi Shinichi. Not only that...
Okada Yukiko looked at Iwahashi Shinichi's side face, and the question that had been bothering her for a long time popped up in her mind.
"What are you doing recently, Yukiko?"
At this time, she suddenly heard Iwahashi Shinichi asking her.
Occasionally, like a big brother who cares about his sister, Iwahashi Shinichi asked Okada about Yukiko's current situation. Such conversations were common between the two.
When she was called while she was distracted, Okada Yukiko showed an expression as if she was called up to answer a question when she was distracted in class.
Shinichi Iwahashi saw it and thought it was interesting, "Is it a secret?"
If you are dating a boy, then it is really not appropriate to tell him.
Hearing what he said, Okada Yukiko shook her head repeatedly, "That's not the case!" She denied it seriously, with a sly look on her face, and hesitated for a long time, "I have been very interested in reasoning recently, and I read a lot in my free time."
"Inference?" Shinichi Iwahashi was unexpected.
Okada Yukiko nodded, "I watched Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, Mr. Matsumoto Seicho and Mr. Shimada Shoji..."
She named several famous mysteries.
"There are some other 'new mysteries' recently. There is a mystery writer named Yukito Ayatsuji who is currently popular..." Okada Yukiko and Iwahashi Shinichi reported their thoughts after reading.
Just as he was about to introduce Ayatsuji Yukito to him, he suddenly remembered that spoilers are the most taboo in reasoning, and he quickly shut up.
After talking for a long time, he showed a shy expression and said, "After reading so much, I kind of want to try writing reasoning."
"Okay." Iwahashi Shinichi encouraged her without thinking, "It's good to try it if you have an idea."
Okada Yukiko nodded her head, her eyes not leaving Iwahashi Shinichi's face. Suddenly she mentioned, "The DREAMS COME TRUE tour will also go to Nagoya, right?"
"The Nagoya show won't be until July, but ticket sales have already started."
It will open in Osaka on June 24th and 25th, followed by Nagoya, then Sapporo, and finally Tokyo.
The performances in Osaka and Nagoya were sold out immediately after the tickets went on sale, making them very popular.
"Father and mother have booked tickets for the band's Nagoya venue."
Yukiko Okada showed off to Shinichi Iwahashi, "Everyone in our family loves DREAMS COME TRUE's songs."
"Yeah?"
Iwahashi Shinichi felt happy when he heard this, "If you had told me earlier, I would have reserved the Nagoya venue tickets for you in advance."
Okada Yukiko shook her head, "It's enough if I can get it in Tokyo."
"Moreover," she said, "Father and mother don't know that the band's Giraffe-san is you yet. Telling them all of a sudden that I have prepared tickets for the relationship will definitely shock them."
Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help laughing when he heard her vivid description.
"However, I kept your secret well." Okada Yukiko looked at him with a small, proud expression, "In front of my family, I pretended not to know anything about Giraffe-san."
She blinked and looked at Shinichi Iwahashi.
"Really? Thank you for your hard work." Iwahashi Shin smiled at her appearance.
Okada Yukiko said enough and stood up happily, "I'm going to work, Iwahashi-san."
