The identity of the band Giraffe man cannot be a secret.

Kitakawa Kazuki is interested in asking and can know the answer from Sony's senior management. Of course, the higher the identity in the industry, the less the true identity of the giraffe man will be revealed.

Similarly, if it weren't for this episode between Zhu Xing and Ji and SMAP, he wouldn't be interested in a band mascot.

Now that I know Shinichi Iwahashi, what I need to do for Kitakawa Kazuki is to knock on the little heads of GEN, and to take a detour when he sees DREAMS E T-Breast E, and then turn this secret into pieces, so that the water in the well will not interfere with the river.

...It should have been like this.

At the end of December, the record sales chart was stopped when preparing for the New Year holiday. The New Year holiday ended, and the sales charts that had accumulated more than two weeks were finally announced to the public.

In the new year of the recording industry, it has been fully launched from the time the record charts resumed.

And in the first record sales list of the New Year, the most important role is Shinichi Iwahashi's GENZO series.

The first album chart of the New Year, the top of the album chart, is undoubtedly occupied by the long-planned album.

Before the New Year, the super topic of singles released in succession made the public not look away from this project in the second half of the year. Every single planned was very popular and had a good reputation. This album that captured all the good songs in one go is full of temptation for ordinary consumers.

With the reputation of previous singles as a reference, even if you buy this album, you will never suffer any loss, right?

When an incident occurs, newspapers and TV provide real-time tracking and broadcasting, while magazines are responsible for summarizing the incident after the incident. This is exactly what happened when applied to this project.

Consumers who have never bought a single, at this moment, buy this album that will collect all the songs in one go. This album also has the meaning of "summary" for ordinary consumers.

Things with the meaning of "summary" often also have the function of "collection". This album is full of temptation for consumers who have bought singles.

Even though he was a little hesitant before, when the project album began to advertise, the sticker on the album shell marked its unique selling point.

"In the album's inner page, exclusively include behind-the-scenes photos taken during the recording period."

The word exclusive is the heart of Japanese people who are extremely enthusiastic about various "limited versions and exclusive broadcasts".

Although each song in the album has been released separately as a single, this album still has a lot of selling points. Whether it is a consumer who has never bought a single, a few of them, or a lot of them...

Everyone, more or less, can find a reason to convince themselves to enter the record store.

In this case, the sales of the album can be guaranteed.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi deliberately stuck on the charts and released this album during the annual holiday, which made the album sell for more than two weeks. Two weeks is calculated as one week, and this album has accumulated a very terrible number.

Fifty-eight thousand pictures!

In the first week of the New Year's listing, this planning album first sold a number that attracted the attention of the entire industry.

On the 9th, while GENZO got sales figures, the media was also ready to report on the following music news and newspapers.

The same goes for the same sentence, ordinary people will not pay attention to whether this list counts one week or two weeks. When reading the press release, they can only see the number "fifty-eighty-thousand first moves" that stirs people's eyes and nerves.

The album that can be over 50 years old at the first move, and this sales figure is another round of publicity and encouragement.

Some media joined in the fun and continued to increase popularity, and there was no need to worry about topics and spontaneous advertising.

...

The champion of the album chart is this project album, and the singles chart of the first episode of the New Year was steadily won by BoLAN with 210,000 copies, achieving the first separate weekly championship since the band debuted.

The previous single with Ayako Fuji has won the Zhou championship, and its sales have reached 200,000 mark so far. Therefore, if you don’t have the “single” prefix, you will win the Zhou championship for the second time.

It was expected that the project album won the championship. It was also true that Shinichi Iwahashi had expectations for the new singles of Bo LAN. However, it was not surprising that he had a huge sales of 580,000 copies of the project album. The new single of Bo LAN could sell 210,000 copies, but it really surprised him and was surprised.

The single with Fuji Ayako was a successful and powerful push for Wa LAN. The project singles were sold well, and the creative ability of Wa LAN and the band itself received a lot of attention.

This time, I deliberately chose four days after the release of the project album, and followed the release of the band's new single, with the intention of taking advantage of the project album's popularity.

Without him taking the initiative to contact him, there must be a record store, and he specially put the band's singles near the planning album.

With two bonuses, coupled with the company's promotional preparations for Waka LAN and the quality of the song itself, Shinichi Iwahashi's expectations for this new single cannot be lower than the initial number of 127,000 singles planned.

But unexpectedly, this single not only won the championship, but also broke through the 200,000 mark in one go.

With a single of more than 200,000 in hand, at the beginning of the New Year, the band will book all the prime sound series first, and only they choose, but no one that the program team will not agree to.

The sales of singles exceed 200,000, which means that this band has become quite famous among the public.

Next, if BoLAN can release another hit single or hit album, then it can be confirmed that the band is really becoming popular.

THE BE HEARTS's first album after joining GENZO has sold very well. Since its release, it has exceeded 600,000 copies and is still in the top 100 on the list. It has also entered the top 50 from time to time. It is obviously a trend of long-term sales and wear-resistant.

However, although THE B E HEARTS is red, it is not like ZARD and Waka LAN. It was discovered by Shinichi Iwahashi personally, brought it up step by step, and pushed it out from a piece of white paper.

The popularity of ZARD and LAN means that GENZO has its own signature, and it is also the means and ability to discover, cultivate and make newcomers famous.

Now, ZARD is still a small step away from moving to the threshold of becoming a big hit. Just wait for the official release of Fujifilm's advertising single to see if this step pushes the band up.

As for BoLAN, who debuted later than ZARD, looking at the posture of this single, it has become popular, but it is still one step away from determining the status of "Big Red".

For the company, it is a good thing to be famous for both of these two bands first. Of course, it is best to be famous for both. Now, what the people in black behind the company have to do is to find ways to build bridges and roads for them, and push the two bands up in one go.

New distribution plans, publicity plans, cooperation plans, tour plans, etc., all require a team of two bands to hold a meeting to study.

In addition, we also need to mention the newcomer's debut to the forefront.

There is not enough manpower, and after the New Year, recruiting people with great fanfare and expanding the scale are all necessary.

In the first week of 1990, the singles and albums were both won by GENZO. After achieving sales results, the entire GENZO celebrated with great fanfare and even put up banners in the office.

"Congratulations to both GENZO single albums for winning the first place on the chart!"

"Planning album shipments of millions are booked! Bo LAN debuted its first weekly champion!"

The company's employees are extremely excited at this moment. The project album and the new singles of BoLAN are both sold well, with bonuses and celebrations, which are definitely indispensable.

While urgently creating celebration banners, after the New Year, the company's first celebration venue also arranged for clerk reservations.

When you go to a big hotel or Japanese garden, you might as well rent a cruise ship for extravagance... There are many options available.

Of course, it is not easy to book a venue after the New Year, and it is considered to be the one you can book.

...

From the morning when Shinichi Iwahashi sat in the office and received the sales list, there were constant congratulations. Of course, they all congratulated him on the project album.

In itself, the project is a show with the support of half of the industry. Now, as a "summary" album sales, Shinichi Iwahashi added another piece of gold to the resume of the producer, and there are as many ready-made flatteries as possible.

When taking the lead in the production and planning, Iwahashi Shinichi's condition was that as long as the release rights and income of this album, it seems that the cake he left himself was enough for his GENZO to eat until his belly was round.

During the planning and negotiation stage, when Shinichi Iwahashi delivered his ideas, it was hard for the record companies involved to imagine that after releasing all the songs as singles and then immediately releasing the album, they could have such sales.

At least, no one could have thought of it when Shinichi Iwahashi proposed it.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi stayed behind early.

On the one hand, because the copyright ownership of the planned songs is complicated, any record company other than him will attract other opposition to release a collection.

On the other hand, although the album's distribution rights were given to GENZO, because the original rights to the included songs were not in his hands, but in other record companies involved in the planning, so while the album was selling well, the record companies involved in the planning could also get their original royalties from the album's sales.

In this way, although the sales are still firmly held in GENZO's hands, other record companies involved in the planning are not just watching how he makes money.

Even if other record companies participating in the record company have the copyright of the songs and have earned it once with singles, Shinichi Iwahashi will not monopolize the profits of the album out of safe and long-term considerations.

If you have money, you have to make money together, this is an attitude.

Now the project album is selling well, with 580,000 copies first. As long as the momentum is stable, it can even make millions of albums. Shinichi Iwahashi not only eats the cake, but also takes the opportunity to continue to maintain good relationships with the record companies involved in the project.

For GENZO, money is important and relationships are also important.

With the initial sales of 580,000 copies released, the project came to an end. Next, you don’t have to do anything, you just need to receive feedback from the record seller, replenish the goods according to the order, and wait for it to be polished slowly.

As for the personal connections gained through this project, as well as various invisible and intangible opportunities, they will gradually be reflected.

...

It doesn't have to be reflected slowly, it's delivered to the door immediately.

The first is Young Master Nozaki who is Kenyin.

As soon as the sales of the planned album came out, he called Shinichi Iwahashi and congratulated him. He mentioned the old story again, talking about what Shinichi Iwahashi once mentioned to him, and collaborated with Akina Nakamori on another album with the song "Kissing" as the theme.

Since Shinichi Iwahashi's glory in the second half of last year to the present, Young Master Nozaki has been completely uninterested in his initiative to propose to continue working with Akina Nakamori. What's more, the collaborative single with Akina Nakamori was sold first, and now this kind of planning album is selling well.

Such achievements clearly show that Shinichi Iwahashi will continue to show off this year. Now, there are only a lot of forces who want to cooperate with him. This famous producer takes the initiative to reach out, and it is a pity that he missed it.

Young Master Nozaki no longer hesitated and talked about this matter again with the introduction of congratulations.

"I also think that's an excellent plan." Young Master Nozaki praised, "If possible, I hope it will lead to this."

So, if Shinichi Iwahashi still had such an idea and did not change his mind, he would be willing to act as an intermediary to communicate and negotiate with Warner and Akina Nakamori himself to promote this cooperation plan.

"Of course I didn't change my mind." Shinichi Iwahashi replied on the phone, "I am deeply impressed by Akanasan's talent. As long as I have seen such a talent, I cannot betray some of her ideas."

Young Master Nozaki got the accurate letter and was happy. He thanked Shin Iwahashi on the phone and went to make arrangements by himself.

Shinichi Iwahashi put down his phone and guessed that if Akina Nakamori received this invitation to cooperate, he would not know what would be the reaction.

...It is probably going to fight him for the fact that he pretends to be garlic.

It doesn't matter.

Since you want to fill garlic, you don’t have to worry about being squeezed into garlic juice.

Shinichi Iwahashi was calm and calm, and continued to do whatever he wanted, and just as if Mr. Nozaki went to do some things.

The side of Mr. Nozaki was mentioned earlier by Shinichi Iwahashi, so it can only be regarded as an appetizer before the main meal.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't expect that the invitation he sent after Mr. Nozaki was first from an office where he had never dealt with and had no intersection at all.

To be precise, it is an office that has no intersection on the surface.

Gitakawa Kuro, of Johnny, suddenly offered an invitation to get to know him through an independent director from Sony.

The firm of Johnnie Iwahashi Shinichi is not unfamiliar with it. Not only that, the insignificant little effort he had made Johnnie suffer a big loss-

Of course, Kitakawa siblings wouldn't know anyway-

Therefore, Shinichi Iwahashi had never dealt with Johnny and had intercourse.

Similarly, as a producer, Shinichi Iwahashi has never produced a male idol, including this time's project album. The only male idol invited is Hideki Nishiki, who has long been transformed into a singer.

Because of this, Shin Iwahashi was surprised that he was suddenly noticed by the president of the firm who only cultivated male idols.
