The Music Association wants to suppress idols with independent ideas. If Sony keeps Matsuda Seiko and Minamino Yoko at the same time, it will be no different from the Music Association breaking up with each other.
By then, all the firms that have joined the Music Association will unite to fight Sony to the end in order not to be pressured by the record companies.
It is impossible for Sony to offend most of the entertainment industry over an idol, but if it does nothing and allows two of its idols to be banned, it will not allow itself to suffer and be looked down upon by others.
The current situation is a classic one of "protect the big or the small".
We must not only give face to the Music Association, but we must also save our own face. The best case scenario is that both parties take a step back and choose one of the two female idols to save their respective faces.
Now, Matsuda Seiko is the first to announce that he will hold a press conference, and to seize the opportunity, Sony will reconsider supporting Minamino Yoko. And Minamino Yoko, who is at a disadvantage, will definitely attract the Music Association if he stands up and declares independence in the future.
of encirclement and suppression.
If Seiko Matsuda cannot be banned, then the Music Association will definitely kill Yoko Minamino.
With Matsuda Seiko's announcement, Minamino Yoko will either become independent and be treated as a chicken to be killed for the monkeys, or he will withdraw his independent thoughts and continue to work for Mizukura Shunichi. The two paths, no matter which one, are clearly bad.
.
"I can only say that she is worthy of being the Holy Son. This is what she can do." When Sakai Masato said this, his tone was full of admiration for Matsuda Seiko.
Ordinary idols cannot think of a way to attract other idols to attract fire and ease their own independent pressure.
Girls like Minamino Yoko, even if they want to be independent, all they can think about is how to be decent and considerate in everything. Unlike Seiko Matsuda, she is worried that things will not cause a big fuss and that not enough people know about it, so she just wants to beat them up.
Caught off guard.
"It's indeed an eye-opener."
Iwahashi Shinichi echoed. This was the first time he had seen the power of Matsuda Seiko. He now had a deeper impression of this famous super idol.
It's one thing to feel in your heart that you were tricked by Seiko Matsuda, but it's another thing to feel that Minamino Yoko's situation is not good.
For Iwahashi Shinichi, Minamino Yoko is independent and has no direct relationship with him. Now, I sympathize with her and feel sorry for her, but other than that, it's hard to say anything else.
…
"There's nothing we can do about it."
In the lounge, Seiko Matsuda pursed her lips in front of the mirror and applied pink lipstick carefully and evenly on her lips. She was calm and relaxed as she talked with Shimane, her manager at the record company.
Shimane is about thirty years old, has a slender face, and usually obeys the advice of Seiko Matsuda.
"Independence is all about timing. And the so-called timing means the right time for you." After applying lipstick, Seiko Matsuda picked up the comb and combed her permed short hair over and over again.
Shimane stood behind the mirror, looking at her innocent face and listening to her innocent tone.
When it comes to looking cute as if nothing happened, no one can beat Seiko Matsuda.
Matsuda Seiko didn't think she had done something bad, she even took it for granted. She looked at Shimane in the mirror and plausibly said, "If someone takes the lead and pushes me to the front, I won't think that the other person is so
Too much."
"Shimane-san, really, this is true." She emphasized as if she was afraid that Shimane wouldn't believe it.
Shimane just listened and didn't answer. It didn't matter whether Matsuda Seiko really thought so. Anyway, Shimane felt that Matsuda Seiko would never put himself in a crisis.
However, as a staff member who follows her, this kind of personality is just right.
"The press conference will start in twenty minutes," Shimane reminded, looking at his watch.
Sony is willing to help Matsuda Seiko become independent. Her guardian at Sony, Kawamura, came forward to discuss with SunMusic’s President Aizawa. At the same time, Sony also invested in establishing her personal agency with Matsuda Seiko.
The president of the new agency is Kawamura, her guardian at Sony. Today, Seiko Matsuda will hold a press conference to explain the termination of the contract and the next arrangements to the media present.
Declaring independence does not mean immediately drawing a clear line with the original agency. After talking about it, Sony will send an agent to clean up the affairs with SUNMUSIC on behalf of Seiko Matsuda.
"I am very sensitive to the time of the press conference." Seiko Matsuda boasted.
Shimane remained silent, watching as she finally finished styling her hair and put down the comb with satisfaction.
"Because I want to be responsible for my lifestyle, work, and other aspects, I decided to be independent from SUNMUSIC Office."
The reason for independence given by Seiko Matsuda at the press conference was published in the entertainment section of the newspaper the next day. On the morning news, her performance at yesterday's press conference was replayed, and on the other side, news commentators expressed their opinions on the matter.
the opinion of.
When it comes to such a sensitive matter as artist independence, the attitude of the TV station is also very interesting. Commentators either criticized Matsuda Seiko for being too arrogant and frivolous for "wanting to be responsible for himself in all aspects", or they were trying to get along with each other.
It cannot be said that there are absolutely no people who have taken a clear stand in support of Seiko Matsuda, but it is almost impossible to find.
But no matter how she performed at the press conference, what the commentators said, or what people who watched TV thought of her, Seiko Matsuda truly dropped a bomb in the industry.
At the same time, it indeed put Minamino Yoko on the receiving end of a fire when he was planning for independence.
…
The next time Iwahashi Shinichi saw Minamino Yoko in the recording studio, she looked a little haggard.
During the beginning of the recording, I met and worked with her not once. In the previous few times, although Minamino Yoko looked tired due to heavy work pressure, she still looked full of energy and vitality.
But when I saw her again this time, I felt uncertain about what to do.
The diminutive idol Asaka Yui is still heartless, and Sakamoto Fuyumi knows nothing about Minamino Yoko's independence. The atmosphere in the recording studio is not bad. While working, Minamino Yoko tries to cheer up. During the break, she faces
Yui Asaka, who chatters endlessly, will also be amused by her words.
Only in the gaps of silence, I occasionally wandered away, showing a trace of confusion.
Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to talk to her, but the occasion was inappropriate and it was inconvenient to talk about her independence. Besides, if he really wanted to ask, he didn't know how to talk about this topic.
Yui Asaka and Fuyumi Sakamoto are on the right track. The recording progress of the three girls is very fast. By the end of this time, the chorus part will be no problem. After that, there will be one or two separate recordings, but the recording is almost done.
end.
As August enters, not only does Seiko Matsuda have an independent press conference, but the first round of paper trailers for this long-planned album has finally been officially released.
The large-scale cooperation and the entertainment section of the newspaper also left a considerable space for this project. Among the singers invited to participate, some of them were well-known and popular. Their names were listed in the subtitles and came with cutouts.
little avatar.
The names of singers who are not popular are mentioned in the text.
As for Shinichi Iwahashi, the leader and chief producer, his name, as well as that of GENZO, were also published in the newspaper. In order to make it easier for the public to understand him, the article listed all his achievements since he entered the industry.
come out.
The band Tianguo that he has produced has led the current band craze. He is also a famous idol producer and the producer of the new generation popular band (ZARD).
In order to increase his prestige, endorsements from celebrities are indispensable. For example, "a talented producer that Masahide Sakuma likes", "a sense of flexibility that even Tsutsumi Kyohei praises", and so on, and so on.
Although they are not as exaggerated as written, these good words are basically well-documented and are not made up casually.
In any case, the whole project has attracted half of the industry. Based on this alone, we must first work together to praise him as a producer to prove that this project is reliable.
There is no need for Shinichi Iwahashi to act on his own, he is responsible for praising him.
The more you get promoted, the higher your status will naturally rise. From this point of view, just by successfully leading this project, Iwahashi Shinichi's status in the industry has risen a notch.
After the newspaper disclosed the cooperation plan, the morning news also explained the news.
There is nothing for commentators to discuss about intelligence news, and there are so many forces involved that they can only be mentioned with nothing but praise and expectations.
TV commentators know what to say to whom.
The name of the chief producer, Shinichi Iwahashi, was also mentioned when the morning news broadcast this news. However, the group of housewives who watch the morning news are concerned about the movements of the singers and have little interest in the producer.
Therefore, this name, which was specially introduced in the newspaper, was only briefly mentioned on the morning news.
The industry was interested in praising Shinichi Iwahashi. Not long after the release of the album, Shinichi Iwahashi received requests for exclusive interviews from many magazines. Since joining the industry, he has been in front of faceless men in black. Now, he has become the center of attention.
focus.
Of course, one advantage for people in black is that they can refuse interviews.
However, hiding from interviews is not a problem. To expand the reputation of the record company, he himself is also a useful sign. He just happened to take advantage of this opportunity created with the help of the industry.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it and chose an exclusive interview with a music magazine. After deciding on the interview, the other party first sorted out the questions to be asked and showed them to him. After that, they agreed on the time and place of the interview.
After all, he is a famous producer and the head of a record company, which is different from interviewing ordinary musicians.
…
Although the information about the planned album has been released to the public, so far, singer Shinichi Iwahashi who is about to enter the studio has not met all of them.
This is normal. In most projects, the producer and the singer only meet at the end. What’s more, this time the project spans a long time and involves a wide range, so it is more convenient to proceed part by part.
Anyway, before the album is officially released, it still has to be released in the form of a single. Although there are many singers involved, the only ones who really have a cooperative relationship are the collaborators of the same song, and the other singers are not related to each other.
In August, the first group of singers Iwahashi Shinichi met was Deng Lijun and her partner, the Okinawa band Kariyushi.
Iwahashi Shinichi met Deng Lijun once when he was working as a bag boy and driver for Mori Shinichi. However, a small follower was not qualified to talk to big stars. At that time, he never thought that one day he would be able to invite idols to participate in his projects.
Shinichi Iwahashi, a model star chaser, should find a way to be the producer of whichever star he likes.
But speaking of it, when Mori Shinichi saw Iwahashi Shinichi again and Iwahashi Shinichi greeted him, his former job no longer just accepted it as before, but also returned the favor to Iwahashi Shinichi.
Change your identity, make achievements, and many things will change accordingly.
Because Deng Lijun is recuperating her body, she does not live in Japan now, but is recuperating abroad. This time, in order to participate in the project, she flew to Tokyo specially, which can be said to be a good deal.
It was a serious first meeting, and it was rare for Shinichi Iwahashi to be seen showing a bit of trepidation.
When he had something to say, he said, "I am a fan of Theresa Sand." - This is a sentence that most people would never have the chance to say. Because of this, he spoke it very smoothly.
The recording studio where the recording is being conducted is Iwahashi Shinichi's own territory. He has the largest territory. Even if he is really embarrassed because of his success in chasing stars, people present will not make fun of him.
Only Deng Lijun herself stretched out her hand with a hearty smile and offered to shake his hand.
The star-chasing part ends here. When we first met, we were celebrities and fans. But once we started talking about the work at hand, we were producers and the singers being produced.
Although, Shinichi Iwahashi believed that he had nothing to guide Deng Lijun - just let her sing.
Deng Lijun is not only good at singing, but the most powerful thing is her ability to understand songs. Even Okinawa songs, after her dismantling, they are really sung in style and full of Okinawa flavor.
The collaboration between Deng Lijun and Kariyushi is quite special. The recordings were all done separately. Deng Lijun only recorded her own part, and then Kariyushi recorded the harmony and accompaniment of the song alone. For this reason, after the recording of Deng Lijun's part was completed, she was not included in the project.
Even if the part is over, there is no need to come over to participate in the recording afterwards.
As for the subsequent arrangement, Shinichi Iwahashi didn’t know much about Okinawa songs, so he tried his best not to give any advice to the young people. Not only that, but he also made preparations on the other hand. If the young people’s arrangement level was not good enough, he would move it to another place.
A foreign aid cooperates with the arrangement.
To him, the atmosphere of Okinawan songs is very important. To enhance the atmosphere, the importance of arrangement and orchestration is self-evident.
Shinichi Iwahashi is here today, and Terumi Utada is also helping with the supervision.
It wasn't a day off, and his little tail Utada Hikaru didn't come with him. Iwahashi Shinichi came here to work before and met Utada Hikari several times. When they first met, he made origami for her, and he successfully gained her favor and became her
good friend——
The evidence is that the next time Iwahashi Shinichi saw her, Utada Hikaru introduced another good friend of hers to him.
She carried a brown teddy bear in her schoolbag to the recording studio just to show it to Shinichi Iwahashi.
