Compared to idol bands that don’t have a movie, SMAP, who has met before, is obviously more familiar with them.
However, he followed the GEN twice to dance at the Red and White Song Festival, and now he will hold a separate performance in the martial arts hall. Obviously, he has prepared his official debut plan.
It can support the performance scale of 15,000 people in the martial arts hall, and obviously has accumulated a lot of fans.
Then, this combination called SMAP will not be the production target that Kitakawa Kuang wants to hand over to Shinichi Iwahashi.
In this way, it is quite intriguing to suddenly invite him to watch the SMAP performance before leaving. It can be interpreted as Kitakawakawa's show of kindness, but it can also be interpreted as other things.
At least, Shinichi Iwahashi would not think that Kitakawaki wanted him to understand what happened to the idol of Johnny's idol by watching SMAP.
Shinichi Iwahashi recalled the backstage of the Red and White Song Club, the figures of the boys who thanked him a year later.
After a year, I went to him to thank him, which was a bit strange and interesting. On New Year's Eve, when I was thanked in person, Shinichi Iwahashi's first reaction was this.
I didn't take it seriously at that time, but now when I think back, the elementary school student Kasuke Shingo who almost ran into him the previous year looked ashamed. If it were for the sake of not expressing such a small thing a year ago, I shouldn't have been so strong.
But no matter what, nothing happened in essence, and only a little vague thought would not take too much effort on it.
Shinichi Iwahashi thought about it and put the matter aside. Of course, Kitakawa opened his mouth to invite him. After that, he would definitely be there to watch the SMAP's solo performance.
After that, Johnnys will send the tickets to the record company afterwards.
...
The production invitation from Kitakawa Kazuki is not to give the newcomer who is about to debut or the idol who has already debuted to Shinichi Iwahashi, but to let him start training from a blank piece of paper. The selected JR is learning the two paths of "Idol" and "Band" at the same time, and study in "Jenice" and "GENZO".
According to the way of selling newcomers who are Johnniez, who will be a JR for a few years before making their official debut, and then releasing records before making their debut, this production invitation is likely to last for a long time.
So, at least during this cooperation period, Kitakawa Kuo will maintain a certain friendly relationship with GENZO. As for whether it will be more friendly or continue to be friendly, it depends on what the two parties have done during this friendly cooperation period, and what will happen to this cooperation in the end.
"It's worthy of being Jennissan."
After hearing Shinichi Iwahashi's words, Manyumi Watanabe sighed.
Send product invitations in the light, stabilize the new forces in the dark. Friendship is in the light, investment is in the dark.
Do things steadily and steadily without any leakage.
"Indeed, it's worthy of being Jenisan." Shinichi Iwahashi also agreed.
After all, he is an old man who has eaten more salt than others has eaten rice. He follows a big guy like Shin Watanabe to be a younger brother, and can even poach the big brother's confidant before leaving.
The two of them were admiring Kitakawaka in the small reception room next to Shinichi Iwahashi's office.
This scene is more or less a bit funny.
So, after saying the admiration, Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe laughed at the same time. After laughing, Manyumi Watanabe restrained her expression and asked him, "What are you planning to do? Shinichijun."
"Anyway, go to the SMAP concert first. After that, it is also necessary to go to the JRs to practice..." Shinichi Iwahashi said this, not just interrupting and wandering around.
He paused, "If nothing unexpected happens, he should take over this production commission."
"This is not a commission for production, but a commission for training." Watanabe Manyumi was saying whispers.
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled and nodded, "That's right, that's the case."
"Now, we are not without the experience of cultivating new people." Shinichi Iwahashi also curled his smile and became serious. "To cultivate a band from scratch, it is not necessary to cross the river by feeling the stones."
"The most important thing is that this is also a good opportunity to get closer to Johnnys," added Watanabe Manyumi.
Neither of them mentioned the past.
Johnniez is powerful and has close ties with the TV station and other parties. He is a few firms that can't be provoked by Yu Xiong for a few weeks and can only seek peace.
Since Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe have made up their minds and cannot move closer to the combustion system, then uniting emerging forces and forming a new alliance must be done. At the same time, it is also indispensable to get along with forces that are not the combustion system.
A firm like Johnnys either does not interfere with it or makes friends with it. In the past, Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe were the former ones, but now, the opportunity has been brought to you by Kitakawa.
Of course, the training of an idol band will not be as good as a relationship with Johnnys. It can only be said that the opportunity to get a good relationship is coming.
Next, we have to take one step at a time and take a closer look and walk forward.
"I have something I care about." Watanabe Manyumi suddenly mentioned it.
Shinichi Iwahashi refused to respond and waited for her next sentence.
"Jennissan invites you to watch the SMAP performance, and he has plans to create an idol band." Wanyumi Watanabe said, "If you think so, he doesn't really want Keiko-sang Zhanshou Office now."
When suddenly mentioning Keiko Fujishima, Shinichi Iwahashi reacted.
Arrangement of Heijia Sect to make his debut and let Keiko Fujishima take office as manager was a temporary solution. However, this group was composed about the same period as SMAP, and they all gave GEN a sensation. Before debuting, the JRs were also quite popular.
However, after the Pingjia Sect debuted, all kinds of good resources were spent, but they could not go further.
Now, Kitakawa Hiroshi has begun to plan his debut in SMAP. From this point of view, the Heijiapai group seems to be a transition between GEN and SMAP. The one who really wins his heart and is highly expected by him is SMAP.
Kitakawa Kazuki has no children. Kitakawa Mari believes that Keiko Fujishima is the future heir to the firm, and she is determined to help her daughter become the top priority and actively promote her to participate in the affairs within the firm.
It was indeed a temporary solution to arrange for the Heika Sect to debut. But after watching it, Kitakawa Hiroki ignored the Heika Sect and let the various arrangements of Kitakawa Mari and Keiko and his daughter. Now they debuted again in SMAP and planned to form an idol band...
The most important thing is that no matter SMAP or the idol band in the planning group, it seems that the shadow of the mother and daughter cannot be seen.
At that time, Kitakawaki was also following the trend, which made Kitakawa Mari and Keiko suffer. Kitakawaki himself also had a reason to be upright.
After messing up this combination, Keiko Fujishima will not have the chance to get involved in the office for at least some time.
"The Jenisan looks tough and clear, like a person in his forties." Shinichi Iwahashi was reminded by Wanyumi Watanabe, and his mind flipped, and smiled and followed this sentence.
As long as an ordinary person meets him, he will know that it will be no problem for him to work for another ten years. Now he is busy arranging the princess to learn how to manage politics, and he is indeed a little anxious.
Even if this is the only heir to the firm on the surface, unless Kitakawa Kazuki suddenly comes out with an illegitimate child, or intends to give up family management and introduce modern management models, no one can beat Keiko Fujishima.
Even so, Kitakawa Mari was so anxious to put her daughter in the position of heir, which still made Kitakawa unhappy.
After all, it is a niece, not a biological daughter. Behind this niece is also involved a strong sister and even an uncertain future son-in-law candidate. Everyone thinks about their own.
"Even if it is a family business, it may not be a solid piece of cake."
"On the contrary, the more family runs, the more likely it is to have problems."
Watanabe Manyumi was inspired by her feelings. She, the "second daughter", was quite convincing when she said these words. When Shinichi Iwahashi heard this, he remembered what she was still doing in Watanabe and laughed at him.
"What are you laughing at?" Watanabe Manyumi was a little concerned.
Shinichi Iwahashi laughed. If Watanabe made the two sisters, she would definitely be unhappy. He replied, "I wonder if people like Jennissan will stick to blood and family, or will make drastic moves."
If the Heijia Sect fails, on the one hand, Kitakawa Kazuki does have reasons to suppress Marie Kitakawa and Keiko. But on the other hand, it also exposes the mediocre qualifications of Keiko Fujishima and her unintentional personality of being led by her mother.
"I don't know this." Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "But, based on my impression of that Jennissan, unless he is old and weak, he will be the one we will deal with for a long time."
It is too early to talk about these things now. Just as why Mari Kitakawa and Keiko were so disappointed this time.
Iwaki Kazuichi will not comment.
After admiring Kitakawaki, the two of them went to the spotlight and went to the question of Johnny's heir, and they were refreshed. It seems that everyone loves gossip.
"We're a great success this time." Watanabe Manyumi turned to the topic. The album was successfully planned, and the new single of Watan LAN was also sold well. GENZO received two good news first as soon as the year begins.
Shin Iwahashi nodded, "As a matter of fact, the wine to be celebrated."
Watanabe Manyumi joked about him, "So far, have you not prepared a celebration wine in the reception room?"
"Wine is placed in the office, maybe I will drink it for fun before I can celebrate with you." Shinichi Iwahashi said deliberately.
Watanabe Manyumi was speechless for his ability to find reasons.
"But it's okay..."
"There are other ways to celebrate." Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her, "Isn't it?"
Watanabe Manyumi made his tone and expression amused, and stretched out his hand. Shinichi Iwahashi gently held it.
"The celebration meeting is scheduled to go to Prince Hotel in Akasaka on the evening of the 19th." On the 19th, it happened to be Friday. The staff celebrated happily and then went for a break.
Shinichi Iwahashi said, "It's time to drink the wine for celebration, right? Manyumisan."
Watanabe Manyumi nodded, "I know." She pulled back the hand she was being held.
The air fell into silence for a moment, like the brewing before the next topic started. The clerk came in and changed tea for the two of them.
As soon as the clerk walked away, Shinichi Iwahashi spoke, "There are new plans for the new year."
"Yeah." Wanyumi Watanabe listened.
We must formulate plans for the three bands that have already debuted this year, and also formulate plans for newcomers to be launched this year. The practice of two people is to have fun before sitting in the conference room.
"First arrange for Ude Keiko's SOLO to debut." Shin Iwahashi headed together.
Then, this year, we are also scheduled to hold a selection meeting, and we will launch at least one of the signing bands from LIVEHOU to debut.
Now, the company has few newcomers on hand, but not so few.
Only one thing is that ZARD and BoLAN are in similar momentum now. If the two bands really become popular again, then another band that can succeed will have to be launched.
Record companies must ensure that they can make at least one group of singers famous in a year, so as not to be dismissed.
"Yude Jingzi."
Wanyumi Watanabe was curious, "How do you plan to arrange for her to debut?"
"When I saw her at the selection meeting before, I said that Yude's personal characteristics are not distinct enough. She herself is not aggressive, whether it is appearance or personality."
Shinichi Iwahashi explained, "ZARD is popular, so Yude, who has a similar impression to Pu Chi's first, can no longer form a band."
To be continued...
