1062. Idol Breakdown
The artistic world is cruel and impermanent. There are hundreds of groups of singers who debut every year. Those who can have a splash of water are considered victory. A popular star will of course be treated particularly differently.
After the successful holding of the Dome Performance of Okuro Moki, the invitations for cooperation and interviews flew over like snowflakes. Even the debut album that has been released for more than a month, advertisers have expressed their hope to use it as an advertising song.
As the new album reaches the stage of the song selection, it has not even decided which songs it will be included, but three songs have been scheduled to be used as advertisements or TV programs. Deciding on cooperation first and then the songs is a common operation in the industry.
Since she has made her debut on the public, she has shown her skills in the TV station and is trying to invite her to participate in a TV show.
After the Dome performance, Okuro Moki's debut album, sales, which had already begun to decline, have risen strongly again. The attention brought by the public appearance is still there. Shinichi Iwahashi plans to wait until the popularity begins to fade and let her appear on TV.
There is no need to worry about which show you will make your debut, except "MU Private". It's not because of your relationship with Asahi TV, but the prime-time music drama that is still alive now has a high rating and there is not much room for choice.
Dakuro Moki wants to be a pure singer-songwriter, so in principle, she will not be allowed to participate in entertainment variety shows except for music programs and interview programs. Since she is a celebrity singer, she must choose the best one for the first time participating in a music program.
When she used the popularity she had brought about in her debut in "MU Private", her new single and collaboration with VER fan LLION Records were announced immediately, and there would never be a shortage of new topics.
When a singer is on the rise, he must release works one after another, maintain a steady stream of topics until he takes a step further, and until the public in the world remembers this star who emerged and the works of this star.
Tonight, in addition to the "introduction" of Okuromoji, there are several newcomers who have plans to debut next. Follow Shinichi Iwahashi and were introduced to relevant people by him.
The Darkmoji, who has become a star, is calm and composed, while the nameless newcomer who has not debuted is cautious.
Brothers Kenichi Kurosawa and Hideki Kurosawa, who have been behind the scenes at Shinichi Iwahashi's production company for almost two years, have also made plans to go to the front stage. Tonight, Shinichi Iwahashi called him to make him familiar with him.
The band's momentum is still strong at the moment, and GENZO has entered a period of rapid development. Since the level of these two brothers can be seen as the threshold for their debut, then let them stand on the stage. Of course, it's good to be popular, and it doesn't matter if they don't.
This is how the creator behind the scenes turned to the front stage, unlike the singer who was trained as a pre-stage star from the beginning.
...
Shinichi Iwahashi took advantage of this thank-you meeting to bring new people to meet the big guys. On the side of VER fan LLION Records, Shinichi Mabashi came here this time and also brought a few young people to lead them to say hello to Shinichi Iwahashi.
After the greetings, Toshiichi Mabashi introduced: "Iwahashi Sang, these are members of the band WANDS."
As he said, several young men bowed and bowed. Shinichi Iwahashi's eyes swept quickly across the faces of these young men. The three young men, who were only in their early twenties, each with a stern face and looked like they were not good at socializing.
Among them, there were the one standing in the middle, a rebellious face. Although I was not sure how good the band was, looking at the face of this young man, he was a natural lead singer of a rock band. As soon as he stood there, he felt like he was coming.
WANDS debuted a little later than Okuro Maki, but after his debut, he was still going to be taken to worship the newcomer everywhere. This band was discovered and formed by Nagato Daiyuki. In VER fan LLION records, it belongs to the "Nagawa school" and is said to be unable to pass through the hands of Toshiichi Maba.
But this band may have to cooperate with Okuro Moki, which makes things change.
Shinichi Mababa and Shinichi Iwahashi, the two of them have had several dealings and are also considered familiars. This time, VER fan LLION will cooperate with GENZO, and Shinichi Mababa is also a representative of VER fan LLION to deal with this place.
Previously, both sides knew what happened between the two families. Now it is true to cooperate. In the next period of time, both sides will also do their best to complete this cooperation, but what will happen after the cooperation is over is another matter. Because of this, the people on both sides met and were particularly polite and enthusiastic, and happy.
生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生
It is because I know that this flower is a plastic flower that I can perform without reservation.
On this side, two men in black behind the scenes were chatting and laughing. On the other side, when Ma Chang came to worship the three young men of WANDS who were on the hill, they felt in a bad mood.
The legendary producer of Shinichi Iwahashi
The three young men could not know about Shinichi Iwahashi's daimyo.
Not only that, for the three people who have a dream of music in their hearts and volunteer to form a band, they had long before they formed the WANDS band and had officially signed up for VER fan LLION Records, as music lovers, they were full of respect for this man who had a strong influence in the underground music circle.
I wanted to meet this hero in the music industry. I had this idea for all three young people. But I didn’t expect that this wish was realized in this way.
It turned out to be a newcomer released by Shinichi Iwahashi.
The debut time between Darkmoji and WANDS was only about a month apart, but Darkmoji jumped to the front line at an unprecedented speed and became a star singer.
However, WANDS's debut single only sold less than 20,000, and the highest ranking on the chart was 17. The second single released last month only sold about 10,000 copies, and there was no such band on the charts within three weeks.
In front of Big Black Moji, who was shining with light, WANDS was just a small character to set off her.
The debut single did not cause much splash, but the three WANDS people were calm and did not feel impatient.
Not only that, because this single composed by Tetsuro Oda did not get much good results, when deciding on the second single, Nagato Yukio Masaguchi agreed to let the band's own songs be tested as the main single. This unexpected opportunity to sing the band's original songs also excited three young people who are full of confidence in themselves.
In imagination, if this second single could be sold more than the debut single, it proves that the band can create it independently. At that time, they can negotiate with the president of Nagato, who always thought the band was not hot enough, and insist on singing the band's own originality.
However, reality is cruel.
What doesn't work is not Oda Tetsuro's song, but the band WANDS.
The band's own original singles sold out in a mess. The three young men were lucky enough to let them give up the requirement of singing original songs for the time being, and there was nothing to say. They could only continue to create and hand in their homework, and wanted to write a good song that President Nakato would also like to express his appreciation after listening to it.
In addition, I just calm down and listen to President Kazuo’s arrangements humbly. At first, I felt that the young people who were underestimated by President Kazuo had to lower their heads in the face of real money sales. However, what I didn’t expect was that what followed was the company’s plan to arrange a single with the band and Maki.
The female singer who emerged from nowhere once participated in an interview with BEING, a production company. However, according to President Nagato's explanation, because she was arrogant and arrogant, she was incompatible with President Nagato, and the two sides failed to reach a consensus. In the end, Okuro Maki turned to Shinichi Iwahashi.
It was also when she tried to join BEING that she and Tetsuro Oda formed friendship.
Now, Okura Maki is famous and wants to sing the song that Oda Tetsuro gave her to witness the friendship between the two. Due to copyright issues, Shinichi Iwahashi came up with this idea to let WANDS and Okura Maki work together.
...WANDS is the object chosen by Shinichi Iwahashi, and the object chosen by him to set off the Okuromoji, right?
A band, three young people with ambitions, were first asked by the producer to debut by the song "Singcall Composer", and were used as a green leaf to set off the stars. Since the beginning of their music career, they have always been merciless and unable to be themselves.
Okuro Moki is very strong. Even if she doesn’t mention her unique way of debut, as a creator, she has outstanding creative ability and as a singer, her singing skills are impeccable. She can even provoke a Tokyo Dome concert alone. But so what?
Even if WANDS is not as creative as her, her fame is not worthy of being comparable to her, but she doesn't want to be a foil.
If you cannot be independent in everything and have to follow the arrangements for everything, can such a band be called a "band" and deserve to be a "band"?
Since I learned that I was selected to cooperate with Okuro Moki, the three young people were not very emotional. Especially as the band captain Yasuo Oshima, he was even more dissatisfied with this matter.
However, unlike Uesugi and Hiroshi Shibasaki, these two young people trusted President Nagato. After hearing the explanation that Nagato was helpless and had to compromise, both young people expressed sympathy for President Nagato's situation where President Nagato was stuck in the middle. But in Yasuo Oshima, what they saw was Nagato's hypocrisy
As the president, I always say that I have full confidence in them, but I can't even protect the dignity of the band.
The band can temporarily sing songs from other composers because of their lack of quality, but how can they curry favor with famous singers and serve as a foil for a female singer who debuted almost at the same time as them?
However, no matter how you view Nagato Daiyuki, whether he was sympathetic or contemptuous about the president, when he looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, the three young people had a surprisingly consistent idea and were deeply disappointed.
They longed for heroes they had longed for, but did such a thing. It was true that the three of them were not very good at socializing, but tonight it was not just because they were not good at dealing with such occasions, so they seemed so dull.
Otherwise, why would you react like this when you can see the legendary music producer?
...
Shinichi Iwahashi reciprocates, met three young men from WANDS, and introduced Okuromoki to Shunichi Maba.
Toshiichi Mabata smiled and said, "I went to see the concert of Okamisan. Such a performance was amazing." He praised Okamisan and turned to Shinichi Iwahashi and sighed: "It is admirable that Iwahashi's Sand is able to make such a debut plan."
It is true that Okuro Maki's performance is impeccable, and it is also true that I admire Shinichi Iwahashi's plan.
But these words were somewhat subtle when said by Toshiki Mabashi.
Last year, when Okuro Moki's first debut plan was cancelled, Toshiichi Maba went to contact Okuro Moki in private and persuaded her to leave GENZO.
Dahei Moji still remembers this "good-hearted" horse farm specialist. At his thank-you meeting, he was introduced to someone who had poached him. Perhaps no one has the chance to have this experience.
...Of course, it is best not to have this kind of experience.
When Dahei Moji saw that face, his heart tightened a little, his eyes quickly glanced at Shin Iwahashi, and he couldn't help but relax. The little discomfort immediately disappeared.
But in her heart, she couldn't say it well, because she was glad that she told Shinichi Iwahashi that the incident of Machang Tsuna came to her, but she still felt that she shouldn't have told Shinichi Iwahashi that the incident was told.
In this situation, Dakuro Moki directly experienced the complexity of the artistic world for the first time. After saying hello, she lowered her head slightly, silently listened to Shinichi Mabata's praise, Shinichi Iwahashi's response, and thoughtful.
After Okuromoki told Shinichi Iwahashi that Shinichi had found her, he didn't feel at all. At this moment, he had no special thoughts to accept Shinichi Mabata's compliment in person.
Not only him, but Toshiichi Maba himself, after the failure of provocation, he only thought nothing had happened. After the debut of Okuro Moki was a great success, GENZO and VER fan LLION discussed cooperation now, and what happened in private will never be mentioned again.
Shinichi Mabashi didn't know, but he didn't care whether Shinichi Iwahashi knew what role he had played. The past was written off, and he was even more at ease at this moment, and he praised Okuro Maki's debut.
However, after witnessing this series of arrangements with his own eyes and understanding why Shinichi Iwahashi had canceled the debut of Okuromoki, Shinichi Mabata was also a secret pity while admiring Shinichi Iwahashi's methods and courage.
If Maki Okuro was not so firm at the time and chose to terminate the contract with GENZO... the current situation would be very different.
But from another perspective, it also proves how trust Okuro Moki has for Shinichi Iwahashi. A newcomer trusts so much that the person who determines her career destiny also proves the charm of Shinichi Iwahashi as a producer.
GENZO is a company that is condensed by Shinichi Iwahashi's personal charm. When Shinchi Mabashi thought of this, he thought it was impossible to weaken GENZO by poaching.
As soon as Mabashi Shun put away his thoughts, he said politely: "For the next cooperation, Iwahashi Sanduoduo will give me advice..."
He nodded to Dahei Moji, "There are the same on Dahei San."
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled politely, and Maki Okuro bowed his head and returned the greeting. The three young men who followed Toshiichi Mabata still had their bodies with such a socially unkind attitude.
