837. Different identities

The three-year period has come, don’t bully young people into poverty. And so on...

None of them exist.

For a reception like this, if you don't get approval, you won't even have a chance to know which way the entrance door of the venue opens. But once you get approval, you will only be treated politely if you show up as an invitee.

.

Even Miki Yoshida, who has always disliked Iwahashi Shinichi, today, when he came to attend a banquet as a guest invited by Watanabe Productions, she was still personable when they met.

No matter what, he is still the head of Watanabe Productions.

Watanabe Manyumi and Iwahashi Shinichi also moved together. They met their sister and greeted her, "... I came here with Iwahashi."

Shinichi Iwahashi nodded to Miki Yoshida, "President Yoshida."

Miki Yoshida smiled and was polite and generous, "Thanks to Iwahashi-kun for coming to support me."

Anyone here tonight, as long as they pay a little attention, will know that Shinichi Iwahashi was once the manager of Watanabe Productions. There is no need to hide this kind of thing, and it cannot be hidden at all.

In less than three years, this young manager has become a well-known producer in the industry, and he runs a record company in partnership with the second daughter of Producer Watanabe. With such achievements, everyone must take a second look at him.

Not only that.

The Watanabe Production family has long lost its former glory, and the flame of the "band" that was ignited was taken away when Watanabe Mayumi and her sister separated. But because Matsumoto Akiko started the idol comedy trend, the agency has tasted the benefits, and recently this

In the past two years, we have signed many comedians or variety artists.

Watanabe Manyumi was very cautious when signing new employees, believing that the firm does not need to rush to expand its scale and it is safer to cultivate a star seriously than to cast a wide net and open cheap lottery tickets in the hope of winning.

But Yoshida Miki behaves completely opposite.

Although Watanabe Productions is in decline, its scale is there. There are even hotels and restaurants invested by Watanabe Productions to provide work for artists who have not debuted and those who have just debuted and have not made much progress. Therefore, she pursues the strategy of a sea of ​​​​people. In the same way,

I also have the confidence to do so.

On the one hand, there is the Watanabe Production Company, which is as skinny as a camel than a horse. On the other hand, there is Watanabe Manyumi's small but sophisticated agency, which has just started, and her cooperation with Iwahashi Shinichi, which has a bright future.

GENZO.

Such Watanabe Mayumi is now the first in the Watanabe production line.

As a result, everyone's attitude towards Watanabe Wanyumi and her collaborator Shinichi Iwahashi is even more different.

If you really want to talk about it, the reason why Watanabe Productions is currently focusing on the variety show industry and has such a path, Iwahashi Shinichi is also indispensable.

Although in order to reach the current level, the road must be wider and wider, and the most important thing is the hard work of Watanabe Production. But the person who opened the thin path at the beginning was Iwahashi Shinichi.

If you think about it carefully, although he left Watanabe Productions, he made his presence felt in the agency.

Yoshida Miki is not a person who follows people's influence, and it is definitely not because Iwahashi Shinichi has become famous that she has changed her attitude towards him. In fact, until she saw him tonight, she was less unhappy with this person and more

Very admired.

It would be too false to talk about "liking this person". But I have to admit that Iwahashi Shinichi is an amazing person.

It's all obvious why his sister is willing to put her wealth on him, and why her husband wants to be friendly and cooperative with him.

Tonight, my son-in-law, Masaki Yoshida, is also here.

Watanabe Shin once contributed to the founding of Fuji TV, and Yoshida Masaki also worked as a producer at Fuji TV. With this line, Watanabe Productions and Fuji TV have always had a close relationship. Today's reception also invited people from Fuji TV

People come to participate.

Yoshida Masaki had long wanted to see Iwahashi Shinichi. As soon as the two people met, they pulled him cordially and said, "Iwahashi-kun, long time no see."

After the two of them exchanged greetings, Watanabe Manyumi greeted her brother-in-law again.

"The Iijima Sanchi recommended by Masaki-san is here to be the driver tonight." Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned casually, expressing his importance to the person he introduced.

Yoshida Masaki smiled politely, "After all, he is from Masari Sakai-san's office."

Whether he was praising Miji Iijima for his intelligence or his ability, or whether he was right to wait for Sakai Masatoshi's introduction was a matter of opinion.

Tonight's reception, as the host of Yoshida Miki, cannot stop here. Even Watanabe Manyumi, even if she is present as the president of U-Miz Agency, she can't really stay out of it.

Without paying attention, it became a situation where Masaki Yoshida and Shinichi Iwahashi got together to chat.

Masaki Yoshida took Shinichi Iwahashi and introduced him to the producers of Fuji TV who were attending tonight. There was also a familiar face among them, Chihiro Kameyama of Fuji TV.

In addition, there is a young talent under thirty years old, producer Nobu Kikuchi who participated in the production of "Night Studio".

Kameyama Chihiro is an old acquaintance, but Kikuchi Nobu is a stranger.

Iwahashi Shinichi has participated in "Night Studio" several times as the Giraffe Man, but he has never paid attention to the staff on site.

No one likes wearing a hood anyway.

Compared to Kameyama Chihiro's sleek and sophisticated character, Kikuchi Shinbu appears to be quite restrained, polite and restrained in his behavior.

Shinichi Iwahashi was very polite to the producers of the TV station.

By establishing a good relationship with the producers, the singers under him will have more opportunities. Among other things, ZARD was able to get the theme song of Yuejiu TV series when he debuted, which was a favor exchanged from Chihiro Kameyama.

There is also Shin Kikuchi. As a TV station employee, he is considered young, but there are chances of interacting with him in the future.

This year marks the 22nd year since "Night Studio" was launched. In the past 22 years, there have been countless producers. Because the program process has become quite mature, even non-experienced producers can manage it.

Therefore, the younger generation who are valued and cultivated in the TV station have the opportunity to take over the production, which is just a good addition to their resume.

However, Kikuchi's timing to take over was unlucky. Since he took charge of "Night Studio" in October, the show's ratings have been in decline. Although the decline in ratings cannot be attributed to the change of producers, but to a combination of factors.

Nobu Kikuchi accepted this program at the hottest time, so he probably had enough headaches.

Especially after the New Year, the stock market continued to fall, and today is Black Friday.

Practitioners in the television industry are deeply touched by today's sharp decline in the Nikkei stock index and have a greater sense of crisis. Regardless of whether they have joined the stock market in private, just thinking about the aftermath of the stock market crash is enough to give them headaches and panic.

Endless.

After the Plaza Accord, the rapid appreciation of the yen was detrimental to exports, and many large export-oriented companies suffered huge losses. On the other hand, the real estate and securities markets were in full swing.

Whether it is to make up for losses or to join in and make a fortune. In an era when even housewives are heading to the stock market after sending their children to kindergarten, and elementary school students are starting to dream about being stock investors, it is even less possible for companies to stand still.

The right way to make a fortune is to invest in real estate and stocks instead of building a company.

There are countless companies that have established specialized financial management subsidiaries, and there are also many companies that have abandoned their own business and devoted themselves to financial management. Now, the stock market has plummeted, and there are big holes waiting to be filled later. Even if it can be relieved later, at least this time

For several months, TV station practitioners have been worried about whether there will be a large-scale withdrawal of sponsors.

This concern is strongest with "Night Breaking Recording Studio", which Shin Kikuchi is responsible for.

Originally, this program was a major deficit contributor to Fuji TV. After the ratings dropped, every time there was a meeting, the production bureau would name those who needed to be rectified and reduce funding.

If the existing sponsors really have problems and need to withdraw, I am afraid that they will not be able to wait for a chance to come back to life, nor will they be able to wait for the companies that have invested in financial management to slow down.

"In that case, we will have to change our strategy for future music programs." Shinichi Iwahashi added casually.

Before Masaki Yoshida could speak, Chihiro Kameyama laughed first, "Did Iwahashi-kun come up with any good ideas again?"

The opportunity for Shinichi Iwahashi and Chihiro Kameyama to get acquainted was when they came up with the idea of ​​a luxury social show. When Chihiro Kameyama asked, Masaki Yoshida seemed to be belatedly and answered: "By the way, Iwahashi

You are also the planner of variety shows."

Only Shinichi Kikuchi, who met Shinichi Iwahashi for the first time, was dazed and out of state.

"How can I have such a quick idea?" Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, "I just feel that if the route of "Night Studio" doesn't work, we can't use the original routine when making music programs."

"That's right. "THE BEST TEN" is barely holding on, but TBS wants to cut it off every few days." Kameyama Chihiro believed Iwahashi Shinichi's words and casually complained about "enemy station".

If the sponsors really withdraw, "Night Blast Recording Studio" will not be able to survive, and "THE BEST TEN", which relies entirely on long-term sponsors, will not be comfortable either.

However, on the one hand, it is a fact that the stock market is plummeting and collapsing. On the other hand, there are still people who have hopes and believe that the government will not sit idly by and will definitely take action.

Compared to Nobu Kikuchi who was anxious because of his urgent needs, Chihiro Kameyama was much more relaxed.

"However," Kameyama Chihiro was half joking and half serious, "Even for the sake of my relationship with Masaki-san, whenever I have a good idea, I should bring it to Fuji TV for discussion."

"Indeed." Yoshida Masaki also smiled, "I can always wait for you. If you really have a good idea, I will discuss it with you even if you call me at two o'clock in the morning."

Shinichi Iwahashi dealt with this with a smile.

The first regular episode of the prank show jointly produced with TV Asahi has not yet aired. It is too early to talk about new programs. Of course, Yoshida Masaki is here and there are precedents for previous cooperation. We will talk about it later.

It is not impossible to cooperate with Fuji TV.

However, since he cooperates closely with TV Asahi, he cannot do anything that harms the interests of TV Asahi.

That’s not to say that you should bind yourself to TV Asahi, but when making suggestions for other TV stations, don’t let the programs you participate in compete with TV Asahi’s flagship program. The reason for the bad relationship between Watanabe Susumu and NTV back then was his foot.

I stepped on two TV stations and produced a program for TV Asahi that competed with NTV.

This is what TV stations are most taboo about. Live examples are in front of us, and lessons learned cannot be forgotten.

What's more, at this stage, Shinichi Iwahashi has to rely on Masaki Yoshida if he wants to make friends with Fuji TV. However, Shinichi Iwahashi's connections with TV Asahi are real and hard-working. Naturally, he cannot cut off his own path.

thing.

Here, after the topic changed, Masaki Yoshida and Chihiro Kameyama chatted animatedly with Shinichi Iwahashi about other things. Only Shinichi Kikuchi, who was too preoccupied to get in the conversation, was thinking about Iwahashi.

What Hashi Shinichi said just now.

"Music programs in the future must change their strategies."

Kikuchi Shinichi always felt that Iwahashi Shinichi had something he didn't say at the same time.

Although it was the first time I met Iwahashi Shinichi, in the entertainment industry today, the only people who don't know the name "Iwahashi Shinichi" are probably the seniors who have retired from the world and are not interested in worldly affairs.

Shinichi Kikuchi participated in the production of music programs, and it is impossible not to know Shinichi Iwahashi.

If Shinichi Iwahashi was just an ordinary little person, he wouldn't have let Nobuchi Kikuchi ponder the true meaning of his words that he had never said aloud.

But as long as you really have this doubt in your mind, the more you think about it, the more true it becomes.

Unfortunately, throughout the night, Kikuchi Shinichi did not find a chance to ask Iwahashi Shinichi for an answer. Not long after, someone new came to talk to him, and Iwahashi Shinichi and Yoshida Masaki also walked away in time and went elsewhere.

Even though Shin Kikuchi cared, there was nothing he could do.



Shinichi Iwahashi walked a little further and met Akiko Matsumoto who came up to say hello.

"Good evening, Iwahashi-san." She lowered her head.

To be able to attend the reception, Matsumoto Akiko's status in the club is obviously not low. Tonight, not only did Iwahashi Shinichi's identity change, but Matsumoto Akiko, who had gone through hardships together, also became better and better every year.

"Long time no see, Matsumoto-san." Shinichi Iwahashi returned the greeting.

After leaving Watanabe Productions, Shinichi Iwahashi has never seen Akiko Matsumoto again. People in the entertainment industry are on their own paths. When Shinichi Iwahashi became a music producer, he couldn't meet Akiko Matsumoto who was focusing on variety shows.

On the other hand, when he followed the street idol Matsumoto Akiko to the notice, he had no chance to meet Taopusida Nakamori Akina.

The prank show he planned had previously decided to invite Akiko Matsumoto to be a guest in the special test program, and now she has been confirmed to be the assistant host after the program becomes regular. She will be chosen because of her own image and program effects.

, another big reason is, of course, because this is an artist he has led before.

More or less, they all have the meaning of "one's own people".

Akiko Matsumoto was so dignified and decent that Shinichi Iwahashi could not relate to her performance as a great performer in a variety show, nor to the cunning girl who worked with him as an agent to earn money for the company's transportation expenses.

This "appropriateness" comes from different occasions and changes in status.

Not only does she no longer need the money from the office, but Shinichi Iwahashi is no longer someone she can get along with. Especially after receiving an invitation to participate in a program planned by Shinichi Iwahashi.

Although there is no three-year period, don't bully young people into poverty.

However, changes in identity bring about changes in all aspects, which are still reflected everywhere.
