Nowadays, urban white-collar fashion dramas are on the air. This subject matter alone has a built-in viewership base, and the original work of a popular comic book ensures that it will be topical before the broadcast. There is no need to speculate on the news.
As long as Fuji TV's scriptwriters don't mess around with their brains, it will be a sluggish TV series.
Iwahashi Shinichi was a little curious, "Wanyumi-san wants to get roles for the actresses in the agency?"
Watanabe Manyumi shook her head, "Inamura Izumi is not old enough to play an urban white-collar woman, so Takashima Reiko needs to prepare a morning TV series."
"Did you pass the final selection?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked her.
Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "The news of the decision has not been officially released yet. It has been decided that Takashima Sanlai will be the heroine of the 30th anniversary morning TV series."
Iwahashi Shinichi was also happy for her and Takashima Reiko, "This is a great opportunity."
"My Name" is a classic of its generation, and it coincides with the morning drama's 30th anniversary. It has no worries about not having good ratings. After the TV series was aired, it appeared in front of the public six days a week, including the most important families in the ratings.
Housewife. The future is unlimited.
The only thing is, since she is scheduled to appear in the morning TV series, during this period, Takashima Reiko will have to prepare for the filming with all her strength, and can no longer audition for other TV series on her behalf.
This is an unspoken rule on the part of the NHK production office. In this way, regardless of whether Takashima Reiko's image has a suitable role, just for this one rule, she will be excluded first.
Although the conditions are a bit harsh, considering the huge rewards from performing a morning drama, I can still accept it.
If you really want to say it, what Watanabe Manyumi wants to prepare for Takashima Reiko is the next TV series on a private broadcaster after the morning drama ends. Pick a good script and at least serve as a second-hand, after the morning drama ends.
Push her up.
As a result, the two actresses her agency recommended have no chance of joining this TV series.
Iwahashi Shinichi was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Watanabe Manyumi mention, "It's not an actress, it's an actor."
"Actor?" He responded.
"Last year, the editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine next door recommended a model to me."
""KIRAKIRA"?" Shinichi Iwahashi remembered that the neighbor of her office was a women's information magazine.
Watanabe Manyumi nodded, guessing what he was thinking, and explained: "It's not their own model, it's a fashion magazine model that belongs to the same publisher as "KIRAKIRA"."
"Oh." Iwahashi Shinichi listened.
Watanabe Manyumi told him, "My real name is Nomura Kozo. However, my stage name as a model is 'Sawamura Kazuki'." She raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "I am still inspired by you."
"I?"
Watanabe Manyumi replied, "Choose newcomers from among the models."
The story was about Shinichi Iwahashi who picked Sachiko Kamaike and Keiko Utoku from Stardust's models. Shinichi Iwahashi asked her to make a joke and raised his eyebrows.
"Sawamura-kun will be twenty-three years old in July. He is 184 centimeters tall. He was the leader of the volleyball club during his student days. He is a very handsome and handsome man." Watanabe Manyumi told him.
In order to sign Kazuki Sawamura, Watanabe Manyumi paid him a signing bonus of 8 million yen.
Kazuki Sawamura comes from a poor family. His father ran away from home after running away from home after running away from home after running into huge debts when he was in elementary school. His mother worked to pay off the debt while supporting him and his sister. He is an introvert, and the biggest reason why he wants to enter the entertainment industry is to make more money.
some money.
Becoming a star is the most promising path for a person from a poor family and outstanding appearance. The reason why Kazuki Sawamura is willing to join Watanabe Manyumi's office is because of the eight million yen
of signing bonus.
"It's worth it," Watanabe Mayumi said to Iwahashi Shinichi.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "Manyumi-san's vision has always been trustworthy. I know this best." He never asked about Watanabe Manyumi's office, but he didn't know that she recently had a new actor who she had high hopes for.
.
However, by spending eight million yen in signing bonus to sign a new model, Iwahashi Shinichi felt her determination from her actions.
Being flattered by him, Watanabe Manyumi smiled and said, "Please meet Sawamura-kun another day."
Shinichi Iwahashi agreed. As for recommending Kazuki Sawamura to audition for "Tokyo Love Story" and whether he would become a rival for the male actors of PAPADO, these were not within their scope of consideration.
If the entertainment world was really such a polite place where whoever said it first would get the place, it wouldn't be the entertainment world it is today. Besides, it's all auditions, and there's no telling which cloud will have rain.
.
Watanabe Manyumi was thinking about getting a role in the planned TV series, but Iwahashi Shinichi was thinking about whether there would be a chance to get the theme song of the TV series.
If Watanabe Manyumi hadn't set her sights on "Tokyo Love Story", he wouldn't have put his idea into this TV series.
…
In mid-May, Keiko Utoku, the first female solo singer launched by GENZO, officially released her debut single. For this debut single, Shinichi Iwahashi served as the chief producer, and a music producer named
Musician Konishi Yasuyo.
Konishi Yasumasa is in his early thirties and is the soul of the band "PIZZICATOFIVE". Although his reputation is not obvious, his musical quality is not to mention, and he can easily pick up various styles. This is also reflected in the style of the band he is in.
Shinichi Iwahashi chose Konishi Yasuo as the producer of Utoku Keiko, which was recommended by the industry's big shot Kyohei Tsutumi.
When Shinichi Iwahashi sang "17" for Chisato Moritaka, the two met for the first time when he visited Tsutsumi Kyohei to ask for the right to cover it. After that, "17" became a great success, and the remade version was not only recognized by the original singer Minami Saori, but also
It was affirmed by Tsutumi Kyohei. Last year, when Shinichi Iwahashi produced the planned album, Tsutsumi Kyohei also expressed support for him.
After all, when Shinichi Iwahashi visited him for the first time, he told him that "idols and bands can be perfectly integrated."
The planned album was successfully produced, and Shinichi Iwahashi became more familiar with Tsutumi Kyohei, and became one of the people invited to attend the party held by Tsutsumi Kyohei at his home. At this person's home party, all the people present were music producers.
Shinichi Iwahashi has also seen people, singers, songwriters, people like Hosono Haruomi and Sakamoto Ryuichi thanks to Mikyohei's blessing.
The rest, such as the couple Tatsuro Yamashita and Maria Takeuchi, the couple Ryuudou Uzaki and Yoko Amu, as well as the siblings Takao Afterlife and Etsuko Afterlife... these have also been met one after another.
All the people invited to the gathering were music producers, singers, and songwriters, which meant that Tsutsumi Kyohei and Iwahashi Shinichi valued his status as a producer. This would be a good time to get to know more people in the industry.
These musicians have many more opportunities for collaboration.
Konishi Yasuhiro's band was signed to Hosono Haruomi's record label, and his talents were highly appreciated by Tsutsumi Kyohei's small group. This time, he was recommended to Iwahashi Shinichi.
Konishi Yasuhiro was entrusted as the music producer for Utoku Keiko's first two singles after her debut, and did not sign a long-term production contract. Based on Iwahashi Shinichi's determination of Utoku Keiko's "fresher guitar girl solo" style,
Make it.
After two singles, a new music producer was decided based on external feedback.
After deciding to make a debut, Keiko Utoku cut her long hair short under the arrangement of the company. From the beginning of the new year to now, she still has a fresh and short-haired image. In addition, she also works hard to learn guitar and composition.
When formulating the debut plan, the company realized that Keiko Utoku was not the kind of singer who would become an "instant hit". Therefore, when formulating the debut plan, they also adopted a steady and steady publicity method, and did not make it clear at the beginning.
We are preparing for an overwhelming large-scale publicity plan, but rather, participating in radio performances across the country, recommending a single to a radio program as the theme song, etc., to maintain a certain distance from the public, but at the same time, stay close to the public.
Utoku Keiko is positioned as a short-haired female solo with a fresh image. The producer Yasuhiro Konishi is invited, and her best is also a light and beautiful music style, which is very suitable for summer. She debuted in mid-May, and started promoting it slowly.
, wait until the rainy season passes and the summer vacation arrives. At that time, TV performances and other publicity methods will be arranged.
Mid May.
On one side, there was Keiko Utoku's unassuming debut, and on the other side, there was the release announcement of LLION Records, a fan of VER, with great fanfare. The company held a press conference at the Akasaka Prince Hotel, announcing that it would launch a band called REV.
VER fans LLION Records has recently been established and is about to launch a new band. The reason why it has such a huge momentum is naturally because of BURNING's reputation. If he leaks some news, the media in the industry will praise him.
However, it would be impossible for a new band to occupy such a large position on the newspaper page just by relying on BURNING's influence. If it is not done well, it will first leave a "no work, only airs" in the public's mind.
impression.
This kind of thing is something that Ikuo Suho would not be unaware of. In this case, there are other reasons why we still want to bring this band to the public with great fanfare.
REV is a band with a female vocalist as the core and four male musicians. The female vocalist is Yoko Nagayama, a female idol signed by BURNING Agency.
Nagayama Yoko is not an unknown person. She debuted as an idol singer as early as 1984. Catching up with the disco craze, she also had a popular single "Venus". However, her subsequent idol career results were mediocre, and she was not as good as those popular idols.
Not a single person. His popularity was not good. In the past two years, he started to try to star in movies and try his hand at being an actor.
If a well-known idol wants to transform into the female lead singer of a band, then it is worthy of a high-profile announcement.
And this high-profile announcement also revealed the fact that LLION Records, a VER fan, has a close relationship with BURNING.
…
REV's debut press conference was held on the same day as Keiko Utoku's debut. REV's high-profile press release suppressed Keiko Utoku's low-key debut, making it appear that this GENZO female solo debut was quiet.
Nagato Daiyuki flipped through the newspaper and saw REV, which was very prominent in the entertainment section, and Keiko Utoku, who was inconspicuous next to it, and couldn't help but smile.
Choosing this day to hold a debut press conference for REV may not be without the intention of causing trouble for GENZO.
Of course, in the entertainment industry there are new people debuting every week, so it is inevitable that we occasionally bump into each other. It cannot be said that this is intentional, it just happens to happen.
Nagato Daiyuki's eyes paused for a moment on the news about the release of Keiko Utoku's debut single, and then fell on REV's debut press conference report.
It is not uncommon for idols to transform into the lead singer of a band. It is not unusual for Yoko Nagayama to be selected as the female lead singer of the band.
Yoko Nagayama debuted as an idol in 1984, but she is still only 22 years old. To sing opposite ZARD, the female lead singer selected must not be too young, otherwise, she will not be able to sing lyrics with an "urban feel".
Nagato Daiko wanted to find a beautiful lead singer to form a band, and Nagayama Yoko was one of the most beautiful girls among idols. What satisfied him most was that Nagayama Yoko had learned shamisen since he was a child. Before his debut as an idol, his dream was
When you become an enka singer, your whole person's temperament has both modern beauty and the feminine temperament of Showa era.
In Nagato Daiyuki's mind, the image of a female lead vocalist is exactly that of a modern woman with Showa temperament. She falls in love with a man who already has a lover. If she doesn't want to take away someone's love, she quits on her own and sincerely gives her love to him.
bless……
In addition to her image being in line with Nagato Daiyuki's ideas, Nagayama Yoko has excellent singing skills, explosive voice, and is quite recognizable. In the idol era, she was recognized as a powerful idol.
Now, transitioning into being the lead singer of a band will definitely not give people the impression of being a show-off.
In addition, Nagayama Yoko has the ability to play shamisen. When he appears on the stage, he can bring shamisen with him, or integrate shamisen into the band's arrangement style. These possibilities are not impossible to explore.
When Nagayama Yoko had a negative attitude towards her transition to the lead singer of a band because she longed to become an enka singer, Nagato Daiyuki made such a bold explanation to her.
Nagato Daiko believed that with the help of Ikuo Shufu, he was able to let Yoko Nagayama serve as the lead singer of the band he planned. It was many times better than expected. It was really easy to enjoy the shade with the big tree at his back.
However, Nagayama Yoko still has a recording contract with Victory Records that has not yet been completed. If he wants to switch to VER fan LLION Records to be the band's lead singer, Ikuo Suho will have to come forward and negotiate with Victory Records. Finally, it was decided that Nagayama Yoko's contract period
For the records released by REV, the production rights and original disc rights belong to VER fans LLION Records, while the distribution rights belong to Victory Records.
It is equivalent to temporarily outsourcing Nagayama Yoko's production rights to VER fan LLION Records. However, together with not only the production rights, but also the original disc copyright that Nagato Daiyuki cherished.
REV's debut press conference has ended, and they will make their official debut soon. B.B.QUEENS's contract with GENZO has ended, and the record deal has returned to the hands of VER fan LLION. "Let's Dance Together" has been a hit, and B.B.QUEENS's worth has skyrocketed.
Although he was fooled by that naughty boy Iwahashi Shinichi, he did not suffer any loss.
In addition, B’z, who is already somewhat famous, will soon negotiate to sign them back to VER fans LLION Records.
Nagato Daiyuki checked the cards in his hand and found that they were all good cards.
