Nagato Daiyuki has recently become close to the investors behind Star Agency, and even borrowed three models from Star Agency. He was also present at this reception as a related party.
As soon as a person arrives at the venue, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he will meet Iwahashi Shinichi again and again.
In fact, because of the cooperation on the theme song of "Chibi Maruko-chan", the officials of the Star Office were interested in connecting the two producers.
In the plastics industry, no matter what you think in your heart, the superficial relationship is sufficient.
Although Nagato Daiyuki hated Shinichi Iwahashi in his heart and wished he would never have to deal with this slippery guy again after the theme song cooperation was over, he guessed the intentions of the officials of the Star Office and still exchanged warm greetings.
After greeting Shinichi Iwahashi, he greeted the young woman who was with him.
It was the first time that Nagato Daiyuki and Watanabe Manyumi met. After exchanging business cards, the officials of the Star Office helped to make additional introductions, saying that Watanabe-san was Iwahashi Shinichi's partner.
"Please give me your advice." Watanabe Mayumi accepted Nagato Daiyuki's business card.
Iwahashi Shinichi spoke next to him, "The song "Let's Dance Together", after we received the finished product, everyone was full of praise for the song. Nagato-san's BEING talents are full of talents."
He may not have meant to chat about this song with Nagato Daiyuki, but in this situation, knowing the intentions of the officials of the Star Office, he did not want to stay silent. If he had nothing to talk about, he could only start talking about work first.
"Where is that?" Nagato Daiyuki said with a pleasant face and modestly. Judging from his appearance, he looked like a middle-level person in a company.
Watanabe Manyumi was watching the two producers talking back and forth and found the situation very interesting. Instinctively, she guessed that Shinichi Iwahashi and President Nagato didn't get along well.
While polite words were being said here, Utoku Keiko came with her manager and greeted them one by one. Artists from the agency who attended the reception were inevitably taken around by their managers to say hello. It was important for the artists to become familiar with each other at the reception.
A great significance of the reception.
When he saw Utoku Keiko, Nagato Daiyuki recognized him immediately as the singer from the video tape he had seen.
"Iwahashi-san!" Utoku Keiko said hello to Iwahashi Shinichi first.
After that, I greeted Watanabe Wan Yumi and Nagato Daiko. Iwahashi Shinichi acted as the introducer and introduced Nagato Daiko to her. By the way, he said, "...you also sang the song of President Nagato's company."
Nagato Daiyuki also laughed, "President Iwahashi showed me Utoku-san's video tape. Utoku-san's conditions are impeccable, and he is by no means inferior to any debut singer."
If he had the conditions of Iwahashi Shinichi and Utoku Keiko had been discovered by him first, he would have arranged to debut. After meeting the real person and seeing that Utoku Keiko was even more beautiful than in the video, Nagato Daiko felt even more regretful.
This compliment was true, but it was also a bit of a slap in the face.
Everyone says that Shinichi Iwahashi has the Midas touch and a keen eye for identifying pearls. So, what is he going to do with Keiko Utoku, the pearl?
Utoku Keiko was beside her, listening to Nagato Daiko's praise, her expression and attitude were very reserved. After saying hello to them, she was then taken by her manager to meet other people. Iwahashi Shinichi also asked Nagato Daiko to excuse her company at the right time.
, walked away with Watanabe Manyumi.
After walking a little further, Watanabe Manyumi smiled softly.
The two of them walked closer. Iwahashi Shinichi heard her laughter and glanced at her, "Why are Wan Yumi-san laughing?"
"How do you plan to arrange for Utoku Keiko?" Watanabe Manyumi asked without answering.
Upon hearing this, Iwahashi Shinichi understood why she suddenly said this, "Next year, isn't Daikuro Maki's debut scheduled for the second half of the year? The first half of the year cannot be blank."
BOLAN and ZARD should be promoted, and newcomers should also be promoted.
If she is a pearl, she will not be put there and suppressed at the bottom of the box. It is not the turn of outsiders to provoke her.
"Not only do we need to recommend new people, we also need to find new people. In addition, we also need to build a new production team. Relevant staff also need to be recruited." Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned, "Now is the time to hire people.
"
The foundation that needs to be laid has been laid firmly enough. In the new year, it is time to let go and go big.
"I am not going to get involved in Keiko Utoku's specific music production. I will only be named as her executive producer." Shinichi Iwahashi told Watanabe Manyumi, "I will mention this matter at the meeting in a few days."
"These two seemed to be able to create their own creations," Watanabe Manyumi recalled.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "Besides, they all have their own way of doing it."
Outsider Watanabe Manyumi continued her principle of not paying attention to specific musical details and mentioned another thing, "Utoku Keiko and ZARD's Sachiko-san have somewhat similar temperaments."
"That's why I want to release her music production rights. Not only that, but I also want to explore her unique side. Utoku Keiko's problem is that she is too average, which makes it difficult to stand out." Iwahashi Shin said clearly.
Watanabe Manyumi just listened, "So, next year, both of them will debut as solo singers?"
"Of course." Iwahashi Shinban joked, "I, a failed female solo producer, also want to make a comeback." He was talking about the unsuccessful promotion of female solo singer Yoshida Miwa, and instead formed a band for her.
It's a shame that Watanabe Manyumi can laugh at such a boring joke.
"President Nagato," she then changed the subject, "do you have any issues with me?"
This time, it was Iwahashi Shinichi who smiled.
"Did I ask a very strange question?" Watanabe Wanyumi glanced at him.
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "Why do you think Wan Yumi-san thinks so?"
"President Nagato looks like he doesn't want to delve deeper into the topic." Watanabe Manyumi said, "It seems that I am not very happy working with you, and I really don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."
Shinichi Iwahashi was quite innocent, "I didn't do anything. All the production rights were given to him. From the production of the songs to the formation of the group, it was President Nagato's decision. From the beginning of the production, he had no influence at all."
Watanabe Manyumi believed that he had not interfered with the production of BEING, so the problem could only arise during the negotiation stage. However, she had no intention of pursuing why Nagato Daiyuki had such an attitude, as long as she knew Iwahashi Shinichi's attitude was enough.
"However, judging from the intentions of Xingchen Agency, I really hope that you and President Nagato can cooperate in the future." She said the key point, "Xingchen Agency has also loaned models to work at BEING."
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care whether they cooperated or not, but looking at the appearance of Xingchen Office, I couldn't guess what their plan was to establish contact with the production company BEING.
I don’t care why Xingchen Office got connected with BEING, but the production company cannot sign a record contract. Even if Xingchen wants to maintain cooperation with music companies other than GENZO, it will not contact BEING.
Now, they are deliberately trying to connect GENZO and BEING, which is even more strange.
If something seems contradictory, consider that there is a hidden meaning in it.
As soon as Iwahashi Shin thought of this, he discussed with Watanabe Manyumi, "In short, let's first clarify the cooperation between BEING and Star Office."
This is not troublesome at all. Just ask the people they know well in Xingchen Office to find out.
The two of them discussed it well.
At tonight's reception, artists from Star Firm also performed on stage. As the top singer in the firm, ZARD also took the stage to sing two songs. On such an occasion, the members on the stage were a little reserved. However, this kind of thing
It's like participating in an annual meeting and getting a performance, you just bite the bullet and finish it.
When ZARD came on stage, Nagato Daiyuki, who was talking to the relevant parties present tonight, subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the stage.
Standing in the middle of the stage, the lead singer Sachiko Kamaichi is dazzling, and the three musicians work well with her. Even though it is a reception performance, the band still maintains its standard.
Looking at this band on the stage, I had a picture of the band that Nagato Daiyuki had always planned to have a female as the lead singer.
"Every party is very optimistic about ZARD now." A person from the related parties who was chatting with Nagato Daiyuki also looked at the stage. "Not only the band, but also Kamaike-san himself has a very high support rate among young women in Tokyo."
Star Office has rich model resources. It is not surprising that Sachiko Kamaiike has made good use of her advantages and has occupied a place in fashion magazines.
“You can’t underestimate Iwahashi-san from GENZO,” a person involved said with emotion.
Nagato Daiyuki heard it and felt it was harsh in his ears. He secretly worked hard in his heart, just waiting for "Chibi Maruko-chan" to be broadcast and the single to be released. As long as the single sells well enough, then there will be chips.
The one who can decide the release date is GENZO!
The attitude of Xingchen Office seems to be wavering. The investors behind it have contacted BEING, and Xingchen Office has nothing to say. However, judging from the situation tonight, there is still the idea of letting him cooperate with Shinichi Iwahashi.
If we can't produce a decisive work that makes investors make up their minds, we can't break this situation.
Nagato Daiyuki thought of this and agreed with a smile: "Indeed, working with Iwahashi-san is very reassuring. There is no doubt about Iwahashi-san's vision."
Unbeknownst to Shinichi Iwahashi, he tried his best to compliment the producer.
…
"This one, and this one..."
Akina Nakamori directed, "Except for these few items, everything else is required."
She gave orders, and everyone around her was not surprised. They followed her instructions and cleared out the store. After the bill was sent to the office, it was deducted as an expense when paying the salary.
At the end of the year, you have to attend many TV programs and award ceremonies, attend various receptions, and update your daily clothes... In short, if you don't go shopping in a hurry, it won't be the end of the year.
After all, she is Taopusida who can use Hermès silk scarves as singing clothes. Especially this year, she is in good condition and in a good mood. She is not merciless when buying things and is very generous.
This look is like the kid from the shopping street who cooks too much for dinner and would rather eat to fill his belly because he doesn't want to waste food, and is very careful when shopping for groceries. They seem to be two different people.
Although Ben who was following her was very familiar with her temperament, when he was communicating with the delivery clerk, thinking about this moment and the situation, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart for her willfulness.
As long as she likes something, she will buy it even just to take a look. This kind of generous personality makes her worry a lot.
But Nakamori Akina didn't care at all.
This Taopusida, when the fire is on, does not think about the fire extinguishing. It is as if he exists only for "this moment".
In December, the series of planned singles was coming to an end, and the collaboration between Akina Nakamori and ORIGINAL LOVE was arranged for the "finale".
When the time comes, I will also participate in a program for this collaborative song.
Not only did she have to dress herself up and prepare suitable singing clothes, but she also planned in her mind how to design the stage, how to perform during the performance, and how to coordinate with the band members. She could never stand on stage without being uncoordinated.
Thinking this way, I even started to worry about the stage costumes of the ORIGINAL LOVE members.
However, ORIGINAL LOVE is a band with an agency. I wonder if Watanabe-san will be involved in the band's costumes for performances.
That Watanabe-san is so capable in official matters, but as for his taste...
Nakamori Akina wrinkled her nose, "I don't know if it's really that good."
"Do you have any further instructions from Akina-san?" the assistant asked her.
Akina Nakamori was startled and her eyes widened. Only then did she realize that she had said what was in her heart. However, she immediately calmed down and said, "After buying clothes, I also want to buy gifts."
"Gift?"
Nakamori Akina said "hmm", narrowed her eyes and showed a small smile, "My second brother and second sister-in-law have another child born."
"She is a super cute girl." Akina Nakamori said, smiling, "Although I haven't actually met her yet, I heard it from my mother."
The assistant listened attentively and accepted Nakamori Akina's true feelings, "Would you like to choose a gift for the baby?"
"Of course I want it for the baby, and I also want it for the baby's mother." Akina Nakamori was planning with her assistant, and after a pause, she said, "I also want to prepare a big gift for Heita-kun, the baby's brother.
.”
At that time, in front of Akina Nakamori, Heita announced like a man that he was no longer a baby.
Akina Nakamori, a sister who was asked to be humble to her younger sister since she was born, often felt like her mother was taken away from her when she was a child. In her heart, she knows better than anyone else what it is like to be lonely at home.
After buying the gift, Nakamori Akina is still not satisfied with it.
However, the assistant was holding her schedule next to her and used work arrangements to prevent her from continuing. As a result, Nakamori Akina had no choice but to put away her fun.
Just saying that, I also bought a pearl ring, a crystal brooch, and gold jewelry...
There are also tie clips for men.
When she was buying clothes just now, she also bought men's clothes. However, when placed in the pile of trophies, it seemed insignificant. This Taopusida usually gave generous gifts to family and friends, not necessarily to whom.
What's more, with her style, she might be able to wear men's clothes and go on stage to sing.
Just like that, she was still thinking about buying something for the puppy at home. It would be inappropriate to go out and buy something for the whole family.
Or her schedule prevented her from taking further action. After finishing the shopping, she went to the recording studio first. After dinner, she went to the TV station to record the program.
Akina Nakamori feels very happy and does not find the busyness at the end of the year annoying, and is looking forward to the new year in her heart.
