However, the close cooperation between two people is not only a good thing, but it also comes with side effects.
Watanabe Manyumi told him, "The new system of DREAM Color T-E Tour has received very good feedback so far, and the reviews from the audience are also very high. It seems that it has been successfully accepted."
After announcing the band's new structure, the sales of singles have been stable, and there have been no negative reviews on the tour. In this way, we can rest assured that we can run the model of "daily twosome, threesome on TV, and Giraffe Man only live once every four years". Yan
Qiao Shen stabilized his DREAM-colored T-cup E. He felt completely relieved and could free up his hands to focus on the current work.
Watanabe Manyumi glanced at Iwahashi Shinichi and joked with him, "How do you feel now?"
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and replied, "This is the so-called coin with two sides." The two-person band can run smoothly, and the band and himself are no longer in a state of mutual pull, and the prospects are broader.
Of course it's worth being happy, but it's inevitable that I'll feel a little disappointed because I've changed my role.
"That's what you would say." Watanabe Wan Yumi said.
Iwahashi Shinichi pretended to be unhappy, "It doesn't sound like a good comment."
Watanabe Manyumi smiled and said, "No."
"Okay." Iwahashi Shinichi followed her and stopped.
As soon as this topic came up, the two of them fell into silence. Watanabe Wanyumi wanted to say something, but her eyes turned on his face, and she stopped thinking.
Iwahashi Shinichi stopped talking, raised his eyelids and looked at her peaceful face, and suddenly felt like Watanabe Manyumi was waiting for him to speak. What he was still thinking about how to say suddenly became something he had to say.
Watanabe Manyumi understood him to this extent. Even if she didn't know what he was going to say, she guessed that he had something to say. Not only that, she could also elicit his words calmly.
Iwahashi Shinichi spoke slowly, "A few days ago, Kenichiro-san from Kenyin invited us to dinner."
Watanabe Wan Yumi nodded, "You two have gotten close recently."
Indeed, it was Kenichiro who introduced Momoko Kikuchi to Kenin, and Kenichiro Nozaki who brokered the collaboration between Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori, so he has dealt with Kenin a lot these days.
But there was something in Watanabe Wan Yumi's words. Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her and said, "A paparazzi took a picture of me and Akina-san."
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Hmm" and looked into her eyes, "It's Nakamori Akina-san."
Without blinking, Watanabe Wan Yumi reminded him, "I was photographed with Kikuchi Momoko-san not long ago."
"That time with Kikuchi-san, her team was using me to stir up news." Iwahashi Shinichi replied.
The time with Momoko Kikuchi was in the news.
"So, what happened this time is true." Watanabe Wan Yumi said, suddenly smiled. Looking at Shinichi Iwahashi's confused expression, she said: "It's 'that time' again, and it's 'this time' again,
It’s like I’m making fun of you.”
Iwahashi Shinichi also laughed, "I didn't realize it just now, but after I said this sentence, it felt sarcastic."
"Really?" Watanabe Mayumi said easily, adding, "However, you can't take back what you said... Please bear with me."
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "This sentence is more like a sarcasm."
"Don't mind." Watanabe Wanyumi added lightly. After a few words, Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless, but she herself changed the subject and asked: "What did Kenichiro-san discuss with you?"
The scandal with Momoko Kikuchi started first, the paparazzi sent the photos for review, and Kenichiro Nozaki asked Shinichi Iwahashi to meet. Watanabe Wan Yumi thought about it for a while, and she had an idea in her heart.
She waited quietly for what was to come. Iwahashi Shinichi seemed to be expecting it, and Watanabe Manyumi went straight to the point. He naturally skipped the explanation of the causes and consequences.
After all, the most important thing is what conditions Yanyin put forward.
For as long as she can remember, Watanabe Mayumi has watched her parents handle work at home, and her understanding of the entertainment industry is by no means limited to how it operates.
Even Watanabe Productions, which is famous for its humane touch, only takes artists under its wing who follow the arrangements. On the other hand, as long as an artist is still under the wing of the agency, the agency is qualified to use her as a bargaining chip on the negotiation table. Iwa
Shinichi Hashi is the person in charge of GENZO. This alone is enough for Yanyin to seize his leverage and exploit it.
But Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe were walking side by side. Kenin wanted to use Akina Nakamori to reach out to Shinichi Iwahashi, but in fact he also reached out to Manyumi Watanabe.
What is the condition that Kenyin proposes, what role will she play in it, what will she gain or lose, this is what Watanabe Wanyumi is concerned about.
There is no difference whether it is Momoko Kikuchi or Akina Nakamori.
Shinichi Iwahashi carefully considered his words and told her, "Didn't Kenichi want to invest in the production of TV series before? Kenichiro-san mentioned to me that today's TV drama industry is in urgent need of innovation, and it is the time to show off its talents.
Yin Yuzhi wants to join the team at this moment, but Kenichiro-san also hopes to form a reliable ally, so he extended an invitation to us."
He said "we".
Watanabe Manyumi wanted to laugh or not, "Kenichiro-san has never contacted me."
Iwahashi Shinichi closed his mouth and did not answer this sentence.
Not only was Kenichiro Nozaki not a short-sighted fool, he was also quite shrewd in his calculations. Watanabe Manyumi had guessed the plans of this former junior and wanted to see what Iwahashi Shinichi would do.
She spoke rudely, not to embarrass Iwahashi Shinichi, but in her heart she was expecting him to say something and come up with some good ideas.
Iwahashi Shinichi spoke again, "If Kenichiro-san contacts Wanyumi-san directly, will Wanyumi-san nod?" He said and couldn't help but smile, "Kenichiro-san is lending me my hand."
Watanabe Wan Yumi did not comment on his words, "However, I can refuse Kenichiro-san's invitation."
"That's right." Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "That's why you want to lend me these hands."
Watanabe Wanyumi thought this was interesting, "If you extend your hands, won't I refuse?"
Iwahashi Shinichi denied, "That's not so narcissistic." He told the truth, "But the reason why Wanyumi-san wants to lend me your hands is not because you won't refuse me, but because what Kenichiro-san has been expecting from the beginning to the end is
The two hands of you and me."
...Because, the two hands of you and me have been holding each other together from the beginning.
Watanabe Manyumi silently completed the unspoken words of Iwahashi Shinichi in her heart. She experienced the side effects of close cooperation, but she couldn't help but think that the reason why these two hands were held together was because they held the same ideals and
Benefit.
is that so?
The thought in her mind suddenly changed, "That being said, how can you and I have the same foundation as Yanyin? Becoming an ally of Yanyin sounds easy."
Iwahashi Shinichi said without hesitation, "It sounds light, but does Wan Yumi-san really have no intention of participating in the production of TV series?"
Watanabe Wan Yumi looked at him.
Iwahashi Shinichi said it simply and neatly, "Just like Wan Yumi-san said, you and I are not as good as Kenyin, but since Kenyin invites us to join and wants to share the burden, you and I can be part of it."
The wisdom that plays our part.”
"It's your 'little guy theory' again." Watanabe Manyumi said.
Iwahashi Shinichi answered her, "Didn't Shin-san also say that the entertainment world is a place where the wisdom of little people without family background is concentrated." He carried Watanabe Shin.
Watanabe Manyumi did not answer the call.
Iwahashi Shinichi slowly said his story, "I have always thought, so what if I don't have a family background? If I don't have it, I won't be good. If Kenyin wants to take up this banner, I might as well see what kind of wind I can ride on. The TV drama industry
Sooner or later, it will become a place where big firms compete, and the last chance for little people with no family background is at this moment."
"At this moment." Watanabe Manyumi looked at him and said firmly.
Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "Don't you think so, Wanyumi-san? When the TV production bureau is not short of money, the producer can withstand Kanemoto's offensive and boldly recruit new actors from small offices. When the money is short, then
I just can’t say it.”
Watanabe Manyumi suddenly laughed. She looked at Iwahashi Shinichi, as if to remind him, "You are trying to convince me for Kenichiro-san."
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head and seriously denied: "I am trying to convince you."
He continued, "Even if Kenichiro-san doesn't accept such a request, I will consider it. The TV drama industry always needs to innovate and start a new era, and it will not just stick to the current mediocre plots and techniques.
And for us, seizing the new era of TV dramas will bring endless benefits. Whether it is the record company or Wan Yumi-san, you are focused on your career as an actor."
It is true that he received such a proposal from Mr. Nozaki because he and Akina Nakamori were photographed. But the premise proposed by Mr. Nozaki himself and the premise that he was willing to agree to it were that both parties could cooperate and win-win.
No one, including Kenichiro Nozaki, Shinichi Iwahashi, and Manyumi Watanabe, is willing to engage in loss-making business. If you adopt a blackmail posture during the negotiation stage, you are intending to break up, rather than discuss and negotiate.
.
"So, if Kenichiro-san doesn't discuss this matter with you, how will Shinichi-kun plan to participate in the TV drama industry?" Watanabe Wan Yumi was curious about this.
Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "Manyumi-san also said, how can your and my foundation be compared to Kenyin."
Watanabe Manyumi didn't feel that he was being ridiculed and waited quietly for the next sentence.
"This is a fact. We are not as good as Yanyin. In any case, we cannot take the step of investing in a TV series at this stage."
Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "So, I put my idea into a variety show again."
"Does Wan Yumi-san know "The Wonderful Story of the World"?"
Iwahashi Shinichi asked and answered, "It is a unit drama created by Fuji TV and led by them. Each episode consists of three short stories. As the name suggests, Miraculous Story, it is naturally a variety of strange stories."
Watanabe Wan Yumi nodded, "What then?"
"What I care about is not the content of this unit drama, but other aspects." Shinichi Iwahashi explained to her, "Producing three stories in one week, from planning to script to specific production, even for Fuji TV,
It’s also very difficult to make. I can’t guarantee the quality and quantity by myself, so I can only invite other companies to participate in the production.”
"Wanyumi-san, don't you think this is a good place to train new people and discover talented people?"
Fuji TV's production of this unit drama definitely has the intention of promoting relevant talents through this program that requires a large number of screenwriters, directors, and production staff. In fact, Japan's film market is about to die.
A large number of film company employees are busy changing jobs and changing careers. TV stations have money, so they can accept some of them.
Watanabe Manyumi understood, "You also want to produce such a program?"
She used "program", and she didn't think that Shinichi Iwahashi was trying to learn from "Amazing World Stories". After all, the two of them had such a tacit understanding.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "With all the efforts of Fuji TV, we can only produce a program called "Wonderful Stories of the World." That one program is enough. I also want to make a program to provide a stage for newcomers.
.”
"For example?"
"For example, for the same script, different directors will have different understandings of it, right? Similarly, for the same theme, different screenwriters will have different ways of handling it. We make a show,
It’s a show that shows what the same theme will become in the hands of different creators... It’s probably like this.”
"The most important thing," Shinichi Iwahashi specifically mentioned, "no matter what form it is presented in the end, it must be a late-night show."
Not to mention the fact that it is difficult to open prime time for this kind of program, or that prime time is extremely expensive. Since we want to encourage free creation, we must be able to let go of our hands and feet, without worrying about whether it is suitable for all ages or being banned.
Deadline for filing a complaint.
Iwahashi Shinichi finished explaining his preliminary plan, "Compared with the big investments in TV dramas, it's just a small effort, right?"
"That's not necessarily true." Watanabe Manyumi reminded him, "It's not easy to gather so many creators."
Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "If we can get the support of the TV station, then it won't be that difficult. Now, the private TV stations are working hard to discover new talents, and the entire industry is waiting to get innovative inspiration from the new talents.
"
Watanabe Manyumi remained silent.
"Besides," Iwahashi Shinichi took advantage of the situation and mentioned, "Manyumi-san, Kenichiro-san want to win over you and me to become Kenyin's allies. Since we are allies, there is no reason to only let you and me act based on Kenyin's ideas.
Kenichiro-san aims to develop the actor business, and you and I are equally willing to develop the actor business. We have the same goal, so we sat down together to discuss it, right?"
Does Kenin dare to say the words "I just used Akina Nakamori to find fault, rip off Shinichi Iwabashi, and kidnap Wanyumi Watanabe at the same time"?
At that time, if Yanyin can only get in but not get out, there will be a lot of legitimate reasons for official business.
When Watanabe Manyumi heard what he said, she couldn't help but be stunned. After reacting, she thought that it was Iwahashi Shinichi, and it was impossible to really let Kenyin use the topic. Iwahashi Shinichi didn't mess up because he was caught, and he didn't act because of it.
When Nakamori Akina is involved, she becomes submissive.
After confirming this, the tension in her heart relaxed a little, and her attitude towards Shinichi Iwahashi also softened.
