When band members change, as a band member, you just need to nod your head and agree, and the rest will be handled by the people in black.
Whether it is "inconsistent ideas", "firing people and leaving", or "retreating behind the scenes" or replacing people, our predecessors have left behind many experiences that can be used as a reference.
What's more, this time is not only a peaceful change, but also not a complete withdrawal. It is not difficult to deal with it.
On the agency side, Watanabe Manyumi fully supports it. On Sony's side, since they know the identity of Giraffe Man, they will not be unclear about how big the consequences will be if they fail to handle the relationship between Giraffe Man and the band.
trouble.
Dream color T-shirt has become popular, and it has been made clear that it will be popular for a long time. It is better to come up with a good idea to solve it now than to continue to turn a blind eye and drag it out until the conflict is brought to the table.
Much better.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows the huge value of Dream, and the potential that is far from being fully tapped. As long as Sony holds the band in its hands, it will be a big money tree. There is a thunder under the money tree, and the sooner it is dealt with, the better.
.
On the other hand, choosing to side with Shinichi Iwahashi in this matter is also a sign of goodwill towards Shinichi Iwahashi.
As a record company manager, he competes with Sony even though his size is about the size of a mouse and an elephant.
However, even if a mouse gets into the trunk of an elephant, the elephant will suffer a little bit. Similarly, even mice and elephants sometimes cooperate with each other and achieve mutual benefit.
What's more, Genzo has a bright future, and Shinichi Iwahashi's influence as a producer is too strong for the industry to underestimate. If you sell him a personal favor, you can cooperate in other areas in the future.
As long as Dream's record deal is with Sony, Shinichi Iwahashi and Sony won't be at odds.
It was decided that the band's Giraffe Man should be moved to a semi-backstage position. Internally, relevant supplementary contracts had to be drawn up, the remuneration for the theme tours had to be reallocated, and various things had to be done.
The majority of Iwahashi Shinichi's income from Dream porn comes from the producer's share, and switching to a semi-backstage role has little impact on his pocketbook. Even minor deviations are normal.
Last year, Dream's singles and albums were both huge hits, and the income from various royalties and karaoke royalties was rolling in. All three of them made a lot of money, and the amount of money they received was in the amount of hundreds of millions of yen.
In order to avoid taxes, Miwa-chan and Brother Nakamura also established their own personal offices in the second half of last year. Brother Nakamura's office address is in his hometown, and Miwa-chan's is next door to the office.
Even so, the tax she has to pay after making a lot of money still makes Miwa-chan feel so distressed that she grins.
Regarding internal matters, whether it is within the band, the office or the record company, everyone is on the same page, so as long as the decision is made, there will be no problem in executing it.
As for external communication, it means to publicize the band's new structure to the outside world. It needs to say hello to sponsors, explain the situation to TV stations, publish it in newspapers, and issue press releases to the society.
These are things that the agency and the record company have to work together to solve, and even producer Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't need to take care of them.
The only task given to the band is to agree on the frequency of outdoor concert tours. The giraffe man, who only appears in circus tours, will appear specifically.
Regarding this, Miwa-chan has already had an idea. She is full of ideas and is waiting to show off her skills.
"For example, if I use the game wave to play against each other, I can win several games in a row, and it will only happen once every few years..." Miwa-chan, who has been fascinated by the hell lately, keeps talking about her beloved game wave.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought of her insignificant gaming skills and reminded her, "In that case, it would be the same as not quitting the theme tour."
"Hey." Miwa-chan was a little dissatisfied because he was trying to undermine her.
The staff members who were watching thought to themselves, why couldn't Iwahashi-san deliberately lose to Yoshida-san? In that case, the decision to hold the event once every few years would not be in Iwahashi-san's hands.
But in that case, it wouldn't be "leaving this matter to Miwa-chan to decide".
The game's wave battle method was rejected. Miwa-chan then came up with a few weird ideas that people didn't know how to react to. The staff were standing by and saw that Shinichi Iwahashi was very patient and blocked every bad idea.
, all secretly admired him.
...He is indeed a man who can serve as the heart and soul of Yoshida-san.
The center of the band is Miwa Yoshida, but the backbone of Miwa Yoshida is Shinichi Iwahashi. This matter is an unspoken consensus among the team.
Once the contract is over, if Shinichi Iwahashi offers to change jobs, Miwa Yoshida will never renew the contract.
This is also a major reason why Sony is willing to sell this favor and cooperate fully to complete this member change.
All the bad ideas that Miwa-chan brought with her were almost used up, and her previous pride was gone. She was dejected and rolled her eyes in boredom.
In the final analysis, she would come up with a lot of bad ideas, not because she was having fun in this matter, but because she had no idea in her heart.
Joking frivolity won't work, you have to return to reality after all.
"Two years is too short, five years is too long." This kind of thing is self-evident.
Miwa-chan pouted and told Shinichi Iwahashi, "The Olympics were held the year we debuted."
"Indeed." Iwahashi Shinichi also remembered.
The reason why I remember it is because the TV station was going to broadcast the Olympic games, and Band Heaven's program coincided with the Olympics once or twice, and the ratings for that period were cut by more than one-third.
Every Olympic Games, various sports seasons, TV dramas and variety shows have to face such strong opponents. If you are unlucky enough to run into the finals of an important competition, you will be left alone.
And because there are so many sports events in the summer, and people like to go out and have fun in the summer, the ratings of TV dramas and variety shows in the summer are probably the most average in the year.
When an outdoor tour concert is held, the songs to be sung are determined through audience voting, and the songs that appear on the program list are all songs that have won rankings from the "competition"... If you think about it that way.
"The Olympic Games is a sports meeting that combines sports events, and so is our outdoor concert tour."
Compared with the ordinary number of "three years", once every four years sounds more grand. Most importantly, holding an outdoor tour every four years will greatly reduce Iwahashi Shinichi's burden.
"A grand outdoor concert tour held once every four years, as grand as the Olympics, sounds awesome, right?" Meihe Zizi asked.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "It's quite powerful."
If it is once every four years, he would start planning the rental of the venue, soliciting sponsorships, and producing in a leisurely manner two years in advance. He does not have to devote too much energy to the concert.
"Because it is held every four years, it must be as gorgeous as possible." Miwa-chan began to make conditions.
Shinichi Iwahashi continued to nod, "Because it's the Giraffe Man's appearance every four years, I think sponsors will come in droves."
Miwa-chan made a grimace at him, "If you are so narcissistic, it's a shame that Shinichi-kun can say it as if nothing happened."
"It doesn't hurt to talk." Iwahashi Shinichi may not be trying to make her happy.
Not only was Nakamura-san used to these two talking about soybeans, but the staff also watched a lot of free crosstalk. Now that the words "held once every four years" came out of Miwa-chan's mouth, it was almost settled.
The unresolved matters were resolved, and everyone present felt at ease.
"Furthermore, since this is a super concert based on the Olympic Games..." Shinichi Iwahashi thought about it and said smoothly: "How about we make going to the National Arena to hold a concert a goal in the future?"
He uttered arrogant words. When the staff present heard Iwahashi Shinichi's words, they lowered their heads and started writing. They were afraid that this ignorant producer Iwahashi would really discuss the matter of applying to perform at the National Arena on the spot.
"Holding a concert at the National Arena" is a fantasy.
The National Arena, located in Kasumigaoka Town, Shinjuku District, was the main venue for the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics and the home stadium of the Japanese national football team. Since the day it was built, it has never been used for other purposes except for major sports events. It can be said that it is
The highest standard arena in Japan.
If you want to dance a disco at the Tokyo Dome, you can arrange a date as long as you can afford 30 million yen. But if you want to use the home stadium of the national football team to hold a concert, it is a whim that has no idea and is easy to talk about.
Not to mention that the owners of the National Arena have never planned to rent out the venue to singers for concerts. Since the stadium was built, no group of singers has performed here.
Even if you want to rent it, this large stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 people, was built in 1958. At that time, there were still large areas of farmland in Tokyo. Unlike now, every inch of land around it is at a premium, and every inch of it is worth every penny.
This large stadium is an open venue, which means that the sound leakage is so serious that it can be heard for several kilometers. It is also said that if a sports event is held here, if a concert is held, it is expected that there will be complaints from surrounding residents.
The National Arena is a big crab that no one has ever been able to gnaw on, and no one in the industry wants to gnaw on it.
Anyone who heard Iwahashi Shinichi's bold words would probably shake their head, thinking that he was used to going with the flow and was hot-headed. Only Miwa-chan responded enthusiastically, "Sounds pretty good."
"..."
The staff were all speechless. They thought to themselves that after all, Producer Iwahashi was the one who regarded him as the backbone. The two people started to have whims and they were in sync with each other.
"Then let's aim for this."
Miwa-chan tilted her head towards Shinichi Iwahashi, "Because we are dream girls." Therefore, any wish you make will come true.
Brother Nakamura was used to hearing the lofty words of these two unrealistic guys, but the promises he made came true. At this moment, he just smiled and listened without commenting.
…
Johnny & Associates.
"Really? I understand. Thank you." Kitagawa put down the phone, thoughtfully.
The leader of Dream Tee, that giraffe man, is the producer Shinichi Iwahashi who is most popular right now.
Once you know the identity of the giraffe man, many things become clear.
Why has this band had so many ingenious and effective publicity strategies since its debut? Why does the Giraffe Man appear on stage wearing a hood?
It's simple, because the band's producer is Iwahashi Shinichi, and the band Heaven's planner is also Iwahashi Shinichi.
The original intention of the band's Giraffe Man wearing a hood was to avoid suspicion.
When Kitagawa Kaguo got this answer, he felt a little lucky in his heart for a moment - fortunately, fortunately, the children at Smap were sensible and measured, and they were not really frightened by Morohoshi and Kijun and did anything wrong.
If the giraffe man's headgear really fell off backstage at the Red and White Song Concert, it wouldn't be a storm that could be calmed down by firing those kids from SMAP. At that time, Sony, Watanabe Productions, Shinichi Iwahashi, support Iwa
TV Asahi, where Shinichi Hashi appeared wearing a hood, had to find a solution for both sides, including Kitagawa Kaguya.
During the New Year's holiday, Kitagawa Hiro usually held a party at his home, inviting idols who had debuted from the agency, as well as juniors who had not yet debuted, to attend.
Previously, Kazuki Morohoshi, who was so excited, filed a complaint against Kitagawa Kaguya, saying that several members of SMAP secretly took his personal belongings to female fans and used the light of being so excited to brag about their nonsense outside.
This was a clumsy remark, but Jr. used Taoist idols to brag about himself outside, which is not without a criminal record.
However, before Kitagawa Kou could think about how to deal with it, at the party, several teenagers from SMAP took the initiative to go to Kitagawa Kou, Nakai Masahiro and Kimura Takuya. The two complemented each other and explained everything about the backstage of the Kohaku Song Concert.
Clearly.
Several teenagers are united and have a clear attitude: "What cannot be done cannot be done no matter what, and what cannot be acknowledged must not be acknowledged."
Compared to Morohoshi and Ki's one-sided words, Smap's solidarity is obviously more credible.
Or, the attitude and spirit displayed by SMAP's few teenagers make it unimportant in Kitagawa's case whether they have done bad things or not -
With this spirit, he is a qualified idol.
There is no evidence whether smap has done the bad things Morohoshi and Ji said.
However, based on Morohoshi and Mi's performance backstage at the Kohaku Utakara, if you ask Kogenge's manager, you can get a rough idea. With the words "Kirin'er is coming", Kitagawa Kaguya can guess that Smap is not lying.
Just irritating those little gangsters, bossing around the office staff, and bullying the juniors are all trivial, but if they really offend Sony and Watanabe Productions, offend the celebrities, they are extremely popular among musicians.
It is not easy to eliminate the bad influence of a prestigious producer.
In particular, the idol market is getting worse and worse now. The old man Tahara Toshihiko and the boy band have become outdated, the Shibu Persimmon team has disbanded, the new male Douhu group has become a joke in the band trend, and the popularity of the Heike group has been slow to increase.
Johnny looked at the scenery, but he also faced the embarrassing situation of being out of business.
The careers of idols are too short. Even if male idols are longer than female idols, they will not last much longer. No matter how popular they are, agencies are eager to prepare their successors.
In Kitagawa's heart, smap is his favorite candidate.
"That Iwahashi is a giraffe man with dreamy breasts."
Kitagawa Kaguya chewed the answer in his mind again. Johnny and Sony have cooperated for many years, and there are senior executives at Sony with whom he has excellent connections. If you have to inquire carefully, you can still find out. Morohoshi Kazuki directed Katori Shingo to remove the giraffe man's headgear.
When Kitagawa heard this, he wanted to know who was under the hood.
In other words, if this person is not Iwahashi Shinichi, but just an ordinary person, then Kitagawa Kao will not take it seriously. Even if Morohoshi and Kazuki personally take action next time, Kitagawa Kao will not think it is a big deal.
Unexpectedly, after asking about the Giraffe Man, I found out the other identity of Shinichi Iwahashi.
