After going around in a circle, Shinichi Iwahashi met up with Watanabe Manyumi again.
I have shown my face when I should, and I have exchanged greetings when I should. In one night, I both complimented others and was complimented by others. I said a lot of polite words that I couldn't really do, and I also received a lot of greetings that I couldn't take too seriously.
.
Of course, since there is falsehood, there must also be truth. After working separately for a while, when they met again, the two of them had saved up something they wanted to say.
Iwahashi Shinichi discussed with Watanabe Manyumi, "Are you planning to go back?"
"I still want to find a place to sit."
Watanabe Manyumi looked at her watch and said something. When she looked up, seeing Shinichi Iwahashi silent, she asked, "Do you have any other plans next?"
"There is a friend I want to meet." Iwahashi Shinichi thought that he would have an appointment with Takenouchi Akihito later. Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, he changed his words: "However, it's not someone I have to meet."
Watanabe Manyumi smiled and spoke cleverly, "I'm not the one who insists on dragging you into talking tonight."
Iwahashi Shinichi heard the meaning of her words, and after thinking about it, Takenouchi Akihito couldn't get away for a while. Tonight, this man probably had to have a drink with his sad boss and colleagues, and he had to show professionalism.
, don’t be discovered and escape unscathed by yourself.
It is said that every office worker in Japan has the reincarnation of a white lady, and after two glasses of realgar wine, her original shape will appear.
When he thought about meeting a half-drunk Japanese office worker later, Iwahashi Shinichi felt that Watanabe Mayumi had a more approachable face.
Iwahashi Shinichi said: "Even if we want to meet, it will probably be later. It's okay to find a place to sit for a while first... Otherwise, just go to the store where I agreed to meet him and wait for him to come over."
He briefly introduced the origins of Takenouchi Akihito, but concealed the fact that he suggested Takenouchi Akihito to withdraw early, saving him a large loss.
Watanabe Manyumi started to laugh when she heard half of it. While laughing, she complained about herself, "It's so evil to laugh at such a thing."
Being able to laugh at such a thing is obviously also a problem with the words narrated by Iwahashi Shinichi.
She said of Iwahashi Shinichi, "Afterwards, you have to comfort and encourage him. This matter is more important than what I want to say."
Iwahashi Shinichi seemed to hear the hidden meaning of her words.
Human life is at stake.
If you don't comfort and encourage the other person well, it will be bad if the other person can't hold on.
"Who says it's not?" Iwahashi Shinichi was right, thinking that Takenouchi Akihito was also an unlucky guy who was sunk by today's Black Friday and was waiting to drag him to drink and complain.
However, Watanabe Manyumi heard him introduce that this was the person who helped him loan the one and a half square meters of land, and asked him, "Isn't that small piece of land still unfinished?"
"Of course you don't have to worry about the loan." Shinichi Iwahashi laughed at himself, "Even if the house prices in Tokyo plummet by 90% tomorrow, I will not be dragged down by that small piece of land."
Watanabe Manyumi complained, "If land prices really plummet by 90% all of a sudden, they will not be dragged down by housing prices, but they will be dragged down by other things."
"It's really cold." Iwahashi Shinichi pretended to pat his arm.
This reaction earned Watanabe Mayumi a "little come" smile.
Just like that, the two people who came together left the venue together. They behaved magnanimously. As for tonight's attendees and the office staff who greeted them at the entrance and exit, how do they view these two people who cooperated well?
people, that is not within their scope of consideration.
When Shinichi Iwahashi was working at Watanabe Productions, because he was a die-hard "Manyumi faction" and was promoted and protected by Watanabe Manyumi many times, he was often speculated by his colleagues in the office. However, he later left his job and started a business with his former Bo SS.
, up to this point, the two of them were still just walking side by side.
This actually caused the staff who had speculated about the relationship between the two to stop.
It seems that the more famous Iwahashi Shinichi is, the more status and status he has, the less attention will be paid to his relationship with Watanabe Manyumi. In other words, it will become less and less important.
It is not the same thing for a small agent to feed off the second lady of the firm, or to work with a famous producer, president Sang, and the second lady of the firm.
On New Year's Day last year, after Yoshida Miki had a heart-to-heart talk with Watanabe Manyumi, even Yoshida Masaki, a man who wanted to bring his sister-in-law and Iwahashi Shinichi together, put his hands and feet away and only talked about business.
On the other hand, only Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi were tacitly understanding each other and getting along calmly from beginning to end.
…
The Katamachi where the one and a half square meters of land is located was undergoing a vigorous demolition.
At this juncture, the young man who sounded like a young man called Iwahashi Shinichi and wanted to buy his small piece of land for nearly twice the market price.
Something unusual happened, and Shinichi Iwahashi felt unsure, so he asked Imai from Kanzaki Real Estate to help inquire. As a result, in an entire block, only his one and a half square meters of land received a purchase call at this time of demolition.
However, although only that one and a half square meters of land was purchased with a large amount of money, there was a dispute over another house. The land owner agreed to demolish the house, but the tenants who rented the house refused to move and became deadlocked.
In the second half of the year, Shinichi Iwahashi was busy planning the album and busy with various things. He didn't receive any more calls from that little Ah Fei, or that little Ah Fei called again, but he didn't receive the call. That small piece of land
He was forgotten again.
During that period, in Katamachi, where the land was located, the merchants of the shopping district were dissatisfied with the demolition plan and protested.
The ownership of this piece of land is complicated and it is not easy to break through. Even the front-end companies of the Daochuan Society are still constrained in doing so.
It was delayed again and again, and even in 1990, the clearance was not completed.
The stock market plummeted by 70% in the new year, and it will definitely affect the real estate market sooner or later. This land is like a mess now. If it is not handled well, and land prices start to drop later, it will really become a mess.
Iwahashi Shinichi holds this square and a half land in his hand. Even if the land price bubble blows to Mars, he will not be able to make a fortune from this land. Even if the land price plummets to the center of the earth, he will not go bankrupt because of this square and a half land. He feels at ease and takes his time.
.
At most, this development plan was unfinished, and he passed on this first pot of gold land as an ancestral property.
However, he thought to himself that he would contact Imai later to find out how much trouble there was in that area.
Not only that, Iwahashi Shinichi still found it strange that a young man wanted to buy his land at the critical moment of demolition, but Tachikawa Kosan, the company responsible for developing the land, had not contacted him.
…
"I guess, 'Night Studio' and 'THEBESTTEN' are not far from the end." Sitting in the car, Shinichi Iwahashi started the topic.
Watanabe Manyumi was not surprised by this conclusion, "Moreover, as long as one of these two programs is announced to have ended, the other will not continue." To be precise, as long as one of these two major audio show deficit makers can support it,
If it doesn't go on, then the other TV station will naturally have a reason to end it.
"When you are willing to invest heavily on the stage, the people on the stage are valuable."
Iwahashi Shinichi said what he didn't say in front of Kameyama Chihiro and Kikuchi Nobu, "On the other hand, if the stage budget is cut, people will be worthless."
The stage cannot bring the same effect as before, and the people on the stage must find ways to bring it.
When only exchanging ideas with Watanabe Manyumi, Iwahashi Shinichi had something to say, "In the future, when producing music programs, we must focus on 'people'. We must pay attention to the program effects brought by 'people'."
"
"Do you have any plans to produce a music show?"
Iwahashi Shinichi neither admitted nor denied, "It's not bad to try. No matter how things change, singers must have a program that is convenient for them to appear."
"Yes." Watanabe Wan Yumi remembered. After thinking about it, "Do you still want to cooperate with TV Asahi?"
"It's a bit risky to always be tied to a TV station." Shinichi Iwahashi said what she was thinking.
It is impossible for Watanabe Manyumi to be unaware of what he is worried about. If he really becomes a die-hard Asahi clique, he will inevitably be alienated by several other TV stations. Rely on TV Asahi to gain a foothold, and then while maintaining the relationship with the Asahi clique,
We also need to communicate and cooperate with other TV stations.
Whether it's TBS, the TV station that rejected Band Paradise, or NTV, which they haven't dealt with yet. Or TV Tokyo, which has no sense of existence and is famous for its poverty.
It's another matter of finding a balance between the various TV stations.
"When the time comes, it will be up to you." Watanabe Manyumi teased him.
Iwahashi Shinichi surrendered and said, "Please spare me."... He was not a Duanshui master either.
Watanabe Manyumi found it quite interesting to see him deflated.
But joking aside, Iwahashi Shinichi does have plans to produce music programs. Before it completely collapses, he will try to produce music programs in the form of a "special program".
Find out the experience, and then make a regular music program as a matter of course.
…
Tonight's reception, NOKKO, the lead singer of the band Rebea, was also present.
The band members were not present, and she was the only one who came to the reception as the face of the band. This band was originally a pioneer of female vocalists and male musicians, as early as when Iwahashi Shinichi was still working as a waiter.
It has already become popular.
Unlike Matsumoto Akiko's reserve, NOKKO's attitude was much calmer when he saw Iwahashi Shinichi again.
After the Women's Rock Festival, NOKKO took the opportunity to release a single under his own name. He first participated in the music festival as an individual, and then released a single under his own name. Rumors that the band was going to disband and that NOKKO was going to go solo became popular for a while.
So far, although the band has not disbanded, it has passed its peak period and entered a stable period.
However, when Shinichi Iwahashi met NOKKO tonight, the information he got from her was that the band was planning to disband next year, and after that, NOKKO would make a solo debut under his own name.
The reason for the band's disbandment is that the creative inspiration that the current composition can bring has reached its limit. Even if it continues to form a band, it has no ability to innovate. It is better to form a new group after disbanding and create new sparks.
Of course, this is an obvious reason.
As for what he thinks privately, this will not be made public, and it is not something Shinichi Iwahashi is interested in asking about.
The disbandment of a band involves changes in the record contract and management contract. If there are endorsements, the endorsement contract must also be considered. Unless they break up on bad terms, the concerts and selections must be disbanded, all of which must be arranged.
Even if the band wants to break up, it must leave a buffer of one and a half years for the agency and record company to make arrangements.
When I met with NOKKO this time, she brought up old things again and even talked about the music festival a few years ago.
Iwahashi Shinichi told Watanabe Wan Yumi, "NOKKO-san asked me if the music festival will be held again." He didn't wait for Watanabe Wan Yumi to speak and went on, "I answered that there are plans to hold it."
Watanabe Manyumi asked him, "This year?"
"If we can get a suitable venue this year, we will hold it this year." Shinichi Iwahashi replied, "However, in addition to the Women's Rock Music Festival, we also want to hold a large-scale music festival that is not limited to gender."
As for whether the two music festivals should be held together or separately, we need to make a plan.
The only thing I want to do is to host a large-scale music festival to show the general public the momentum of the band trend. The more momentum it builds, the more people will follow the trend, and the fire will get hotter and hotter.
Watanabe Wan Yumi thought for a moment, guessed his plan, and answered smoothly, "Apply for the open-air venue at least six months in advance. If you act now, it will be just in time for the summer vacation."
Maybe it will attract students from all over the country.
Shinichi Iwahashi thought about it, "This time it may not be held at Wangan Plaza, or even in Tokyo. The scale needs to be large, and sponsors must also actively discuss it... I think it will be very difficult to find sponsors this time.
easy."
He paused and looked at Watanabe Wanyumi's face.
"Why are Wan Yumi-san laughing?"
Watanabe Wan Yumi shook her head, "I remembered the time when I was running NAON YAON."
Three years later, now, we will no longer be unable to put together a topical lineup. There is no seniority standing in the way that needs to be challenged. Everything is very different.
Iwahashi Shinichi also laughed, but what he said was: "When the time comes, I ask Watanabe Productions to be involved."
After all, it is the organizer of the first NAON YAON.
Watanabe Manyumi did not answer the call and was noncommittal.
The car drove into Roppongi and went to the club where Iwahashi Shinichi and Takenouchi Akihito had arranged to meet. He and Watanabe Manyumi seemed to have made up their minds to discuss business matters before Takenouchi Akihito came over.
"After that, I have to ask you to take Watanabe-san back." Shinichi Iwahashi and Mijima Iijima told them, and they planned to take a taxi and leave after drinking.
At this time, the store in Roppongi has not yet reached the busy time for customers.
However, after all, it was Friday, and it was still more lively than usual, and there were more drunk people than usual - let's get ourselves drunk now, which shows that we are not enjoying the wine.
Tonight is both "Flower Friday" and "Black Friday".
Some people are heartbroken over the hemorrhage in the stock market, while others party all night long because they escaped a disaster.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Wanyumi Watanabe got out of the car and were about to walk forward.
Suddenly, a burst of noise not far away came into their ears. The two of them subconsciously looked in the direction of the noise. They thought it was a drunken man going crazy and something like that, which was probably especially strange tonight.
But that's not the case.
Iwahashi Shinichi opened his eyes wide and was sure that there was someone standing on the rooftop of the building diagonally in front of him. He felt nervous and blinked.
The people on the rooftop disappeared.
The next second, I seemed to hear a dull sound falling to the ground. The voices around me became more and more noisy, and screams came one after another.
