"Because it happens to be a character whose personality is different from my own, so if you want to get into the mood, you have to be slower." Momoko Kikuchi told Shinichi Iwahashi.
"Is Kikuchi-san the type to concentrate on being a housewife after getting married?" Shinichi Iwahashi listened obediently.
Momoko Kikuchi nodded, "I hope to get married later and work less while getting married... Of course, I am still single now, so these are just my imagination."
She joked to herself, and Iwahashi Shinichi laughed.
"Before the filming, during the meeting, the screenwriting teacher mentioned that nowadays, more and more women are unwilling to go home and become housewives, while among men, they are gradually becoming more enlightened and more and more are willing to support their wives to work outside the home..."
"In the past, most wives who worked outside the home did so because their husband's salary alone could not support family expenses. However, in recent years, an increasing number of women have decided to continue working after marriage because they want to realize their own self-worth."
Momoko Kikuchi spoke eloquently, and Shinichi Iwahashi found it interesting to hear these words coming from the mouth of an actress. She raised her eyelids and saw Shinichi Iwahashi's smiling face, and suddenly felt ashamed and stopped her words.
.
In fact, Shinichi Iwahashi was not laughing at her. Momoko Kikuchi suddenly stopped talking, leaving him unsure of how to respond. After a pause, he said: "Listening to what Kikuchi-san said, the role you played is very meaningful.
Already."
He continued slowly, "In reality, the number of women who want to realize their own value and stay in the workplace after marriage has increased, so their images have appeared in film and television works. Kikuchi-san plays such a role
, now represents this image.”
Of course, today's relatively relaxed employment environment is also related to the economic boom during the bubble era.
After hearing this, Momoko Kikuchi couldn't help but smile, "Suddenly I felt that I was doing something great... Obviously my personality is different from the role I want to play."
"Isn't that what acting is like?" Shinichi Iwahashi replied, "When you act in a play, you become a different person."
His tone was tolerant, and Momoko Kikuchi seemed to be encouraged by Shinichi Iwahashi. She wanted to say something more, but the pager in Shinichi Iwahashi's bag rang.
He said "sorry", stood up and left the table to answer the phone.
…
To Shinichi Iwahashi's surprise, the call came from Yutaka Ozaki.
I went to Los Angeles on a business trip last month and met Yutaka Ozaki. It was agreed at the time that we would have the opportunity to meet and communicate after returning to Tokyo. However, just like the meal with Kikuchi Momoko, I put it off and forgot about it.
I've been very busy these days, and if I don't write down things in my itinerary, once I get busy, I don't know where to put them.
Miwa-chan and Nakamura-chan are currently performing the reception performance they arranged with Fujifilm last year under the name of the two-person system DREAMS E T Milk E.
Each entertainment performance is held in a small venue, and the audience present does not have any objections to the lack of the giraffe man, the duo DREAMS E T Breasts E. However, when it comes to entertainment performances, those who are present are either related households or lucky draw winners.
The lucky ones may not be supporters of the band. The real test of the new system's reputation will have to wait for the theme tour in the second half of the year.
At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi is busy with GENZO. He participates in DREAMS E T breast E activities and goes directly to the recording studio. Even if he occasionally goes to Sony once or twice to meet Yutaka Ozaki by chance,
Easy - to be honest, you are more likely to bump into someone in a record company than in a studio on the same floor as a TV station.
Of course, it's not that Shinichi Iwahashi has no interest in interacting with Yutaka Ozaki. On the contrary, a successful male solo, a genius among musicians, it would be good to have more exchanges, even if there is a "Yoko Ono" knitting sweaters in the recording studio.
When they first met, Yutaka Ozaki left an impression on Shinichi Iwahashi that he was not very proactive, so he was surprised to receive a sudden page from Yutaka Ozaki.
However, if you think about it, after all, he was a person who summoned friends and caused havoc during his student days, so he couldn't really be someone who doesn't like to socialize. Not only is he not as aloof as Shinichi Iwahashi imagined, but he is also a bit more whim-like.
enthusiasm.
That's what this phone call is all about.
Yutaka Ozaki happened to be recording this evening and it ended at nine o'clock in the evening. It was better to hit the sun and send a page to Shinichi Iwahashi, inviting him to meet him at the recording studio in the evening and have a drink together afterwards. In addition to him, there were
His friend's name is "Okamura Yasuyuki".
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't mind meeting one more person, and confirmed that there would be no entertainment tonight, so he agreed. After hanging up the phone and going back, the topic just now was naturally dropped.
…
"Thank you Iwahashi-san for your hospitality today."
After the plate was removed, Kikuchi Momoko thanked Iwahashi Shin. She smiled, her eyes sparkling under her charming eyelids, and she looked satisfied, "...I want to include this store in my 'ideal taste' list."
"What is that?" Iwahashi Shinichi sounded a little mysterious.
Momoko Kikuchi explained, "I like cooking, and I also like to taste food. Among the restaurants I have tried, if I think they are very good, I will record them. After that, I will visit them regularly every once in a while."
"I see." Iwahashi Shin nodded, understanding that this was a compliment from Kikuchi Momo for changing her technique, and couldn't help laughing.
Kikuchi Momoko's manager was still late, so Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but get up and leave. While drinking coffee, he and she chatted about random things to kill time.
The two were facing each other, Kikuchi Momo couldn't take his eyes away, watching Iwahashi Shinichi pick up a cup to drink coffee, which made him a little confused, "What's wrong?"
Kikuchi Momo shook her head slightly, pursed her lips and smiled. She blinked her eyes and then said slowly, "Does Iwahashi-san know? Moles are very popular recently for fortune telling."
"Fortune telling?"
She nodded and said, "It is said that fortune telling can be done by looking at the location of moles on the face and hands... just like facial reading and palmistry. There is a very powerful fortune teller in the Xinqiao area.
Teacher, it is serialized in the magazine every week."
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Oh" and thought for a moment, "Just now, were you looking for a mole on me?"
Momoko Kikuchi showed an embarrassed smile, "You saw through it." She said, "...I didn't see your mole."
Iwahashi Shinichi joked with her, "So, he is a person whose fortune cannot be seen through." He said it as a joke, but Kikuchi Momoko took it seriously, nodded, and sighed seriously, "That sounds really awesome."
"Let's forget it." Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and shook his head. He caught a hint of cunning in Kikuchi Momo's eyes. When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but praise her, "Kikuchi-san's acting skills are amazing."
Momoko Kikuchi pursed her lips and said, "I won't act in front of Iwahashi-san..." What she did just now was not considered acting deliberately. It was better to say it was a small tease.
She raised her elbow, "Here." Momoko Kikuchi pointed to the inside of Iwahashi Shinichi's wrist, "This mole, the fortune teller said, means you will have good luck at work."
Those round, girl-like wrists were right in front of Shinichi Iwahashi.
Iwahashi Shinichi's innocent tone amused her, "My work is going really well now, I just got a second role in the TV series Shui Ju." Not to say that it was a disappointment, the celebrity artist went to fortune telling, and Meng Ye got a few words right.
Momoko Kikuchi nodded and lowered her eyelids, "It's a mole that means someone will help you at work." Her voice sounded trembling, "I think it's very effective..."
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed it off and did not delve deeper into the topic.
…
Momoko Kikuchi's manager came to pick her up. When he saw Shinichi Iwahashi, who was chatting happily with Momoko Kikuchi, he was a little surprised and quickly said hello.
As soon as the agent arrived, the meal in return for the invitation came to an end.
The three of them left the restaurant together. Afterwards, Momoko Kikuchi followed her manager to the filming site of the TV series, and Shinichi Iwahashi went back to work.
Momoko Kikuchi said goodbye to Shinichi Iwahashi, "Thanks to your hospitality, I am very happy today." In mid-May, the sky was still clear and the sun was shining brightly at noon. Momoko Kikuchi narrowed her eyes and waved to Shinichi Iwahashi.
She is polite, generous and cheerful.
She said goodbye to Shinichi Iwahashi and got into the car. The manager started the car and drove slowly onto the main road. She said to Momoko Kikuchi, "I didn't expect it to be Iwahashi-san."
The person assigned by Yanyin to Momo Kikuchi was a female manager in her early thirties. Momo Kikuchi was easy to talk to, had a good personality, and got along well with her manager.
When Momoko Kikuchi called her agent and asked her to come here to pick her up, she said she was eating here with friends. But she didn't expect that the "friend" she mentioned was Shinichi Iwahashi.
The manager was surprised, but Momoko Kikuchi didn't take it seriously and said "Hmm", "It's Iwahashi-san."
"Peach-chan and Iwahashi-san seem to have a good relationship."
Momoko Kikuchi shook her head, "It's not 'very good' either."
"But, it's not very distant?" the manager replied, matching her words.
Being imitated, Momoko Kikuchi pursed her lips and smiled. She nodded slightly, "After meeting today, we are more familiar with each other than we were last time."
This sounds like talking in circles, but in the profession of an agent, one has always been obedient and listened to what is said.
After saying this, Kikuchi Momo said nothing more. In this case, the manager also stopped the topic and did not say anything more about Iwahashi Shinichi.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi is now a popular figure in the industry, and his agent certainly knows that he is now very popular.
…
Iwahashi Shinichi finished paying off the meal owed to Momoko Kikuchi for a month at noon, and in the evening he had to fulfill the promise to meet Yutaka Ozaki that had been delayed for more than a month.
When he arrived at the recording studio where they agreed to meet, the receptionist at the front desk took him to the room where Ozaki Yutaka was, and he realized that this was not the production of Ozaki Yutaka's album, but the production of Okamura Yasuyuki's album.
Ozaki Yutaka and Okamura Yasuyuki are the same age, but Okamura Yasuyuki is a few months older. The two are as close as brothers, and they are always available to each other. When Okamura Yasuyuki releases records, Ozaki Yutaka comes to help.
These two are the same young talents.
There is Yutaka Ozaki who was dug out by Sony producers after dropping out of high school and became the "Tenth Generation Patriarch". There is also Yutaka Ozaki who joined Sony after dropping out of high school as a musician. At first, he was behind the scenes, but he jumped around during the free breaks in recording.
I think of Okamura Yasuyuki, who was attracted by the producer who thought his "dance was sparkling and starry" as soon as he performed the dance, and made his debut as a singer.
Of course, the two people get along not only because they are both geniuses, but also because they get along in every aspect. This includes going out to drink and have fun together, doing some pranks where only the two of them laugh.
The prerequisite for a creature like a young genius to be free is to have a team of adults behind him to take care of the aftermath.
Compared with Yutaka Ozaki, who has also achieved commercial success, Yasuyuki Okamura has not achieved impressive record sales until now. This has a lot to do with their different music styles and different audiences.
Ozaki Yutaka is a very orthodox Japanese pop, but Okamura Yasuyuki, who is an avid fan of Japan, is deeply influenced by the idol and produces works that draw on black music styles.
Supporters call Okamura Yasuyuki "Japan's Pune" and speak highly of his musical talent and performance on stage. He also has a group of loyal supporters. However, for now,
He said that his business market has not yet been fully opened.
However, as long as he has a group of loyal supporters, he can do all the decathlons of writing, composing, arranging and choreographing. With his own talents, he can keep the cost of releasing an album as low as possible, relying on packaging and external songwriters to provide songs.
A singer needs to sell 10,000 copies of a record to make back his money. If it were him, 3,000 copies would be enough.
In addition, the concert venue is full, so even if he is not popular at all, he will not lose money. What's more, although Yasuyuki Okamura is not a "big hit", he is not some cat or dog that no one cares about.
For singer-songwriters, as long as the inspiration is still there and they can calm down and slowly make music, their careers will be long.
Because his commercial performance is not so outstanding, he does not have to rush to consolidate his popularity. Yasuyuki Okamura also has more freedom in music production. He does not need to rush the schedule, and he does not have to follow the rule of two singles and one album a year. Although he works slowly and produces
Just work carefully and polish your work.
To be honest, compared to making his own music, Yutaka Ozaki came to help Okamura Yasuyuki and slowly made music with him, which actually made him feel more comfortable and comfortable.
…
Yutaka Ozaki took the initiative to contact Shinichi Iwahashi and fulfilled the agreement to meet in Los Angeles. On the one hand, it was a whim-like enthusiasm, and on the other hand, it was also due to his personality. What he said must be fulfilled.
Therefore, I was very energetic when I made the phone call. When I actually met Iwahashi Shinichi, I returned to my unfavorable attitude of dealing with adults. When I met him, I smiled slightly, somewhat green, and said, "Iwahashi-san."
Yutaka Ozaki, whom he had met once, had such a reserved attitude, but Yasuyuki Okamura, who was meeting him for the first time, was carefree and greeted Shinichi Iwahashi with a playful smile, "Welcome, producer-san!"
Although these two people are both half a year and a few months older than Shinichi Iwahashi, they have shown their demeanor in their junior years.
Therefore, Iwahashi Shinichi looks older than the two of them. It is definitely not because he looks older, but because the two of them will always be teenagers.
