After a few drinks in the bar, Iwahashi Shinichi moved to a nightclub.
Tonight, TV Asahi entertained him, eating and drinking, and selling food in succession. In the golden age of television stations, there was so much entertainment money that it was impossible to spend it all, and the people in charge of the entertainment were generous and showed no mercy.
These days, the easiest way to show sincerity is to see how much money is spent on the entertainment. The easiest way to show appreciation is to spend the host's money.
In society, I don’t know how many employees in companies who are responsible for entertaining have been scolded by their bosses because they didn’t spend enough money. They are afraid that the person receiving the entertainment will think that the other party is not sincere because they don’t have enough money.
It would be strange if such a magical era does not collapse after it passes.
Iwahashi Shinichi complained, but he also enjoyed it with peace of mind. The more he had fun and the more money he spent on entertainment, the happier the people responsible for entertaining him were.
Having just accomplished something big, the president Sang Zheng, who is famous in the industry, is very proud.
As soon as the documentary was aired, Iwahashi Shinichi became completely famous in the industry.
Not only did TV Asahi entertain him so much, the record companies he was cooperating with valued him even more and actively contacted him for new cooperation. Even various advertising sponsors looked at him with special eyes.
In the past, as a music producer, Shinichi Iwahashi has already demonstrated his "Golden Touch" ability. This time, the linkage of planned advertisements and documentary programs has allowed the entire industry to see his talents and courage outside of music.
The production team was preparing to use his name to attract advertisers for the prank show scheduled to be regularized on TV Asahi.
If the person who planned the program was the musical Midas producer Shinichi Iwahashi, advertisers might not take a second look at a prank program that he also participated in and had nothing to do with music.
However, after this time he showed his hand to the entire industry, everything was completely different.
However, this time he not only became famous in the industry, but also attracted a lot of attention and curiosity from the general public.
I originally thought it was just the popularity of the show just after it aired. Unexpectedly, a few days after the show aired, there were still people calling TV Asahi to ask about Shinichi Iwahashi - these people were basically housewives
.
As for the young people with stronger mobility, they had already found the address of Shinichi Iwahashi's record company and sent the letter there.
Not only did these people send him letters like fans, but LIVEHOUSE, a joint venture between him and Miwa-chan Nakamura that appeared in the documentary program, not only attracted underground musicians to come together for interviews, but the tickets also became extremely popular.
"Iwahashi-san is in the spotlight now, and the public is very curious about you." The staff responsible for entertaining him complimented.
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed after hearing this, "I was just a man in black behind the scenes."
However, even though I say this, I have already made up my mind to become famous in the industry through the collaboration between THE BLUE HEARTS and the planned album.
When he was about to take over the band, he was already thinking about it. It should have been like this. If he didn't have a motive, he wouldn't have taken action to catch this hot potato for no reason.
Now that the program is aired, the plan is a great success, and his reputation in the industry has greatly increased. But before the band can start again, the popularity has already reached its peak. The average ratings are 36.7, which is equivalent to half of the Red and White Song Festival. What's more, this is not an appearance.
Instead of singing a song for five minutes, the band is spread out in front of the audience.
After all calculations, the only thing that Iwahashi Shinichi didn't expect was that after the show aired, he, the man in black behind the scenes who only appeared once in the show, somehow won the hearts of housewives and became their favorite.
New love.
TV stations are places that don’t let go of hot spots and popularity. After THE BLUE HEARTS became popular, TV Asahi embraced the golden chicken and worked hard to produce programs. Now, Shinichi Iwahashi is so popular among housewives that he calls the TV station every day for inquiries.
, which made TV Asahi unable to help but want to target him.
After all, housewives are the main viewers.
"Have Iwahashi-san ever considered appearing on TV or something?"
After the staff finished their compliments, they joked and said, "For a talk show like "Tetsuko's House", even if you are a behind-the-scenes person, participating in it is not an exception. Isn't it?"
It was said as a joke, but it was 100% true as a joke to test his thoughts.
"Besides, Kuroyanagi-san is also very interested in interviewing you." The staff member added. The move of Kuroyanagi Tetsuko was not to put pressure on her, but to show that they valued her.
"Tetsuko's Room" is a longevity program launched by TV Asahi in 1976. It is broadcast every Monday to Friday at 12 noon and lasts for thirty minutes. "Tetsuko's Room", as the name suggests, is the host of this program.
It's Tetsuko Kuroyanagi.
Shinichi Iwahashi is very familiar with the name Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. She is also the host of "THE BEST TEN", and DREAMS COME TRUE has appeared on the stage of "THE BEST TEN" several times.
However, at that time, the band was just a budding star, and Kuroyanagi Tetsuko was a top figure in the industry, so there was little opportunity to meet and communicate with her backstage. Kuroyanagi Tetsuko was very busy, and even when the band went to her lounge to pay homage,
Almost all gifts are collected by her assistants.
In addition, this person also has another identity, that is, he is the author of "Little Doudou by the Window".
When Shinichi Iwahashi read her book, he didn't even know that she was actually a host and had such an image.
"Tetsuko's House" is published five times a week. This program invites guests from all walks of life, including singers, actors, sports figures, cartoonists, songwriters... There is no limit to what you can imagine.
Moreover, since it is the noon time, the main force in the ratings is housewives. As long as the wives are interested and curious people come to participate, the ratings on that day will definitely be considerable.
By the way, the show's highest ratings so far come from the former wives' favorite, Miura Tomokazu. Not only that, it was Miura Tomokazu when he first married Yamaguchi Momoe.
For TV Asahi, whose midday ratings are really not very good, "Tetsuko no Bunya" is definitely the trump card of the midday show.
The content of the talk show is nothing more than chatting. The setting of the program is "the living room of Kuroyanagi Tetsuko's house". Kuroyanagi Tetsuko and the guests sit separately and chat about various situations of the guests present - as if broadcasting to the audience
Watch the interview scene.
Being a guest on this show will not make you lose your value, it will even be a kind of recognition for him.
Although TV Asahi does not want to miss out on the hot spots and popularity, it does not come up with random ideas to consume Shinichi Iwahashi's fame, but it happens to have such a suitable program on hand.
"It is of course an honor for me to participate in "Tetsuko's House"." Shinichi Iwahashi said, changing the subject, "But now is not the time for me, the man in black behind the scenes, to stand in front of the stage."
For Shinichi Iwahashi, since he has obtained the fame he wants, there is no need to perform too much in front of the stage in exchange for useless attention.
At this juncture, things are not over, but a new round is about to begin. Records have to be sold, THE BLUE HEARTS has to make a new debut, and there are all kinds of things waiting to be taken care of.
If he, the producer, comes out to participate in the program, distracting the public's attention and blurring the key points, it will be more of a loss than a gain.
The spring breeze brings me back to my pride, but I haven’t forgotten it after all.
From this incident, Iwahashi Shinichi already had the fame he wanted to gain from it, so there was no need to appear on TV to satisfy the curiosity of housewives.
Instead of calling the TV station, the wives should give more support to the album for which he is the producer.
For Shinichi Iwahashi, just becoming famous is only half the battle. The other half is to study how to use the fame gained this time and exchange it for exchangeable benefits.
A young producer who became famous instantly and attracted countless curiosity and goodwill from the public, but he was able to remain unmoved by this fame. Now, when I was handed the invitation for a longevity program, I thought he would agree to it.
In the end, he chose to refuse without hesitation.
With this state of mind and determination, the staff of TV Asahi who entertained him had to admire him.
but……
"When the time is right, I would love to participate in "Tetsuko Nobuya"," he said.
Although part of this sentence is in response to the sentence that the staff put out, "Kuroyanagi Tetsuko himself also wants to interview him", leaving some room for it.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi was not just talking politely.
…
After drinking this lively meal of flower wine, I had to find a quiet bar to have a finishing drink. Before changing to a new place, Iwahashi Shinichi called his affectionate driver Mijima Iijima and asked her to go to the bar.
Waiting to pick someone up.
He had already made a plan before coming, and asked Mijima Iijima in advance to be on call at any time.
This staff member given to him by Sakai Masatoshi was treated like a brick that he could put wherever he thought.
Of course, there is no reason to call her around casually. Iwahashi Shinichi would also call in Mijima Iijima who was waiting for him when socializing and introduce people in the industry to her. It was not considered a free errand.
Mijima Iijima works hard and never complains. This kind of person is not stupid and is also diligent and down-to-earth. If nothing happens, she will definitely be reused in the future. Even if Sakai Masatoshi and Yoshida Masaki are not around, she is still worth cultivating.
Here, Iwahashi Shinichi finished his finishing wine, and over there, Iijima Mitochi came to standby.
When he was on the phone just now, Shinichi Iwahashi asked her to come in when she arrived. He took this opportunity to introduce Mito Iijima to the staff of TV Asahi, "In the future, we may let her go to your station to discuss work, so please take care of her."
"
The staff who were drinking together also had a great time drinking and agreed wholeheartedly.
Mijima Iijima acted according to the circumstances, and his attitude was such that even the people in the television industry could not find fault with it.
After the show ended, Iwahashi Shinichi got into the car.
Socializing is definitely a laborious job. After a night of hard work, he finally calmed down. Shinichi Iwahashi took a deep breath and sat quietly.
After a while, he remembered and said: "In a while, I will recommend BOLAN to the TV station, and then I will leave it to you."
Mijima Iijima agreed.
Since she was sent to join BOLAN's production team and BOLAN officially debuted, Shinichi Iwahashi called her as a part-time driver much less frequently. However, when he asked her to pick someone up, he called her in and introduced someone from the TV station.
The number of times she met him increased.
She knew in her heart that Iwahashi Shinichi was cultivating her consciously. Not only did he work hard without complaining, but he also resolutely adhered to the three no principles of "don't listen, don't tell, don't tell."
After Iwahashi Shinichi finished giving her instructions, he closed his eyes to rest and stopped talking.
Mitsuo Iijima took a look in the rearview mirror and drove silently. The whole journey was quiet until he sent Shinichi Iwahashi home.
When going upstairs, Iwahashi Shinichi was thinking about taking a bath and taking a rest when he got home. As a result, when he entered the house, there was a pair of women's casual shoes in the entrance hall.
She is the only woman in the world who can take off her shoes at the entrance of his house when he is not at home.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at the pair of shoes, slowly changed his shoes, and took off his tie. In about the same time, he heard the patter of footsteps, and Nakamori Akina stood opposite him, with her hands behind her back, saying hello with a smile.
: "You're back~"
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Oh" and nodded, "You're here."
Akina Nakamori corrected him, "What's 'you're here'? At this time, shouldn't you answer 'I'm back'?" She was pretending.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her appearance and found it funny, so he took two steps toward her.
Nakamori Akina stretched out her hand, took the tie he had taken off, and stared at his face. Iwahashi Shinichi followed her example and also stared at her face.
"What are you looking at?" she asked.
The two of them faced each other, and Iwahashi Shinichi's smell of alcohol, mixed with the smell of the nightclub, got into Nakamori Akina's nose.
She sniffed and suddenly sneezed.
"Ha ha!"
The way Iwahashi Shinichi called her made me laugh.
Nakamori Akina's little face wrinkled up and she became angry, "What's so funny?" She turned her head and said, "Are you hungry? Do you want to cook something for you?"
"Okay." I didn't say I wasn't hungry, but when I said it, my stomach felt a little empty.
Iwahashi Shinichi stretched out his hand and took her hand, "Then I'll take a shower first."
She nodded "Yeah, yeah", pulled her hand back, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Go ahead~ President Sang." President Sang got carried away in the nightclub~
Iwahashi Shinichi asked her to hit the point of laughter by saying "President-san". It was okay not to smile, but when she smiled, Akina Nakamori glanced at him, "What are you laughing at again?"
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "I'm happy to see you."
"..."
Akina Nakamori hummed twice, "I'm going to cook something." She looked like an adult was letting him go.
In fact, I felt happy.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her slender back and felt that such light steps were only for those with wings.
After a moment of strange associations, he walked into the bathroom. While taking a bath, he saw a shadowy figure reflected on the glass door of the bathroom.
"You didn't wash it either?" Iwahashi Shinichi teased her.
Akina Nakamori behaved like an older sister this time, and said arrogantly, "I'm just taking away the clothes you changed out of."
...What's there to be proud of?
Through the glass door, Iwahashi Shinichi was a little speechless as he watched this figure coming and going.
