Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1081
Tickets for the stage play starring the popular idol Higashiyama Noriyuki are of course in high demand.

Kitagawa Koren was backstage, and Shinichi Iwahashi greeted him and congratulated Noriyuki Higashiyama on the smooth start of his performance.Sanzhi Iijima, who was following behind him, bowed deeply.

After exchanging greetings with Iwahashi Shinichi, Kitagawa Kou also greeted Iijima Mitomo.

Since the beginning of this year, Sanzhi Iijima has followed up on the progress of the Tokyo Boys, and has dealt with Johnny's side quite a bit.However, Kitagawa took a high look at her, not only because she was the representative of Shinichi Iwahashi, but also because she really had a way of doing things.

Kitagawa Kou is a person who is quite tolerant and polite to those who have shown extraordinary talents.This is different from his elder sister who has to consider personal likes and dislikes before making a decision.It is precisely because of this that he has attracted talents to work for him.

The backstage lights are bright, almost blinding.

Iwahashi Shinichi followed Kitagawa into the actors' room. Noriyuki Higashiyama, who had exaggerated stage makeup on his face, was surrounded by two costumers, and could only nod to them, "Jenisan,... Iwahashi-san. "

His gaze stayed on Yanqiao Shinichi's face for a while, and he recognized the face.

Yanqiao Shenyi saw Dongshan Jizhi once in a while-it was counted as passing by backstage when he was running errands in the past, but he didn't expect to be recognized at a glance. The face of the man in the clothes has also become a celebrity.

In addition to Higashiyama Norizhi, there are other actors in this big room.The heroine of this play is the actress Yuriko Ishida, who is not well-known.

Stage plays are different from TV dramas, with exaggerated movements and physical contact.Because of this, actresses supporting Johnny's male idols will inevitably suffer from attacks from fans——

Even if they took one more look at the male idol at the curtain call, or showed a little more acquaintance when participating in the TV promotion together, there would still be jealous fans who would call the woman's office to protest and warn her to keep a distance from that male idol.

Acting with Johnny's male idol is definitely not an easy task, both rough nerves and a strong heart are necessary.

In addition to the actors who put on makeup and the staff who surrounded them, there were also two little boys who helped the actors run errands. They were both junior high school students, with handsome faces and not tall.Judging from the image of the JR boys Shinichi Iwahashi met when he was selecting the Tokyo Boys, this kind of little boy is exactly the type Kitagawa likes.

but……

Yanqiao Shinichi's eyes fell on the face of one of the teenagers, and he scrutinized it carefully.Receiving this gaze, the young man who was watched looked back and suddenly grinned at him.

As a teenager, courage is big enough.

Yanqiao Shinichi looked at the "[-]%", couldn't help laughing, and greeted him, "It's Naohiro-kun from the Sunflower Troupe, right?"

The little boy bowed slightly, "After becoming Johnny, it's just now." He responded calmly to Yanqiao Shinichi.The other teenager who was with him watched from the side with his eyes open.

Shinichi Iwahashi explained to Kitagawa Hiroshi, "A few years ago, when I went to Osaka, I saw this child at the teacher Ishihara of the Sunflower Troupe."

The young man he was satisfied with met Iwahashi Shinichi, which was indeed beyond Kitagawa's expectations.However, looking at Iwahashi Shinichi's friendly attitude towards Domoto Tsuyoshi, I feel somewhat in my heart that Iwahashi Shinichi has the same vision as him.

Although Iwahashi Shin didn't say a word about his impression of Domoto Tsuyoshi, Kitagawa Hiroshi intuitively felt that he admired this young man.

Domoto Tsuyoshi and Domoto Koichi, these two teenagers transferred to Tokyo, with Kitagawa Hiroshi as their nominal guardians.Of course, I live in the dormitory of the office every day, and there are special staff to take care of the daily life.

But on weekdays, he often takes two young boys to watch the performances of the seniors, and it is the same today.

Another young man, who had been out of state about the situation at this moment, also introduced himself at this time, "I am Koichi Domoto."

Yanqiao Shinichi responded, "Two scriptures?"

Tang Bengang said solemnly, "It's the two brothers, Yanqiao-san."

He didn't change his face, the young man next to him stopped doing it first, his face flushed suddenly, and he wanted to refute loudly, but in front of the adults, he said "it's not" so abruptly that it seemed to be squeezed out.

Domoto Koichi explained seriously to Iwahashi Shinichi, "It just happened to be Domoto's surname."

Being exposed face to face, Domoto didn't feel a little uneasy about telling a lie. Instead, he turned his face away and looked at this nervous-faced partner whom Kitagawa Kou had appointed for him. He thought his appearance was interesting. There was a sly look on his face that wanted to smile but couldn't.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Kitagawa were onlookers, and they knew at a glance that it was not someone else that Domoto was going to tease, but Domoto Koichi next to him.

Domoto Takeshi, who impressed Iwahashi Shinichi with "Ishida Mitsunari" when he first met with the troupe, is now also smart and full of aura.And looking at his presumptuous appearance, he should be very popular with Kitagawa Hiroshi.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Kitagawa Soo, since they met backstage, they are going back to the auditorium.Kitagawa called out to the two young boys, "You guys should come together too."

He said "you", using the nondescript "you".

Knowing that it is nondescript, it must be used. In a sense, it is also a way for Kitagawa to expand his identity and power.Yanqiao Shenyi turned a deaf ear to these words, and left with Iijima Sanchi first.

"Just now, why did you lie?" Tang Benguang asked Tang Bengang in a low voice.

The cunning Kansai boy opened his mouth with a Kansai accent, "What's the matter?" Even such words that are easy to make people angry, the Kansai accent seems a little funny.

"Wouldn't it be scary if that Iwahashi-san found out?" This is why Domoto Koichi was eager to clarify.When I first came to Tokyo, I was a 12-year-old boy, with a little restraint of a top student.But it may also be a manifestation of the child's defensiveness.

Tang Ben just looked at his partner's appearance as a young adult who was worried about gains and losses, and showed that sly and smiling expression again.Domoto Koichi was helpless with such a face, but he was still a little bit unwilling.

The two teenagers born in the same year were more lively than Tang Bengang.Moreover, he looks like a good boy, but in fact he is very bold.Just a few months after joining Johnnys, he has already skillfully imitated Kitagawa Hiroshi's "You" oral habit, which often makes Domoto Koichi laugh.After laughing, he secretly worried that if Janissan found out, he would be scolded.

For Domoto Tsuyoshi, who once aspired to become a comedian, the term "You" is no different from the fixed stalk of a comedian.Of course, whether this joking way of doing things is due to his boldness or his cunning is another matter.

However, one thing that is certain is that the two teenagers were born in the same year because they were both born in Kansai, and both had the surname Domoto, and were brought together by Kitagawa Hiroshi.

Then, while joking about Kitagawa's oral habit, and occasionally teasing and being teased, they slowly drew closer.

……

The juvenile team is famous for its dance, Higashiyama Noriko has a pretty good figure, and his acting skills can be said to be solid and natural, and his performance on stage is also remarkable.

At the beginning of the second act, it was the solo performance of the heroine Yuriko Ishida.The acting skills of this young actress are still young, but as the performance progresses, she gradually becomes calm and natural.A qualified actor who does not add luster to the stage itself.

However, in a play with Dongshan Jizhi as the absolute protagonist, the heroine's limelight is a little weaker, which is expected.

Yanqiao Shen came here as soon as he came, and watched the play seriously while facing the introduction of the plot spread on his knees.But the more seriously I watched it, the more I felt in my heart that it was not a brilliant play.

Nevertheless, when the actors came out to take their curtain call, the enthusiasm of the audience was an upsurge that Shinichi Iwahashi will remember deeply.

Iwahashi Shinichi congratulated Kitagawa, "Higashiyama-kun's performance was very successful." Once he became the man in black behind the scenes talking and laughing with Kitagawa-ho, even if he debuted for many years, the idol who has been famous and popular has become "Higashiyama-kun" .

"Next, how about going to have a drink?" Kitagawa Hiroki said to Iwahashi Shinichi.

This is something within the plan, and Yanqiao Shinichi readily agrees.But the two sides did not follow the audience to leave from the exit next to the theater, and went backstage to meet the actors.

At the end of the performance, the atmosphere in the backstage was completely different from before the performance.The actors talked and laughed loudly and freely.But in such an atmosphere, the starring Higashiyama Noriyuki and the heroine Yuriko Ishida hardly communicated with each other.

After taking off her makeup for a while, Yanqiao Shinyi looked at Yuriko Ishida, she was quite a beautiful woman.

She tidied herself up in the mirror, looking very restrained.

Yanqiao Shen looked over for a while, a small man with a round head, round face, and round figure approached, a smile appeared on his round face, "Iyanqiao-san."

"I'm Yuriko Ishida's manager Nishiwaki." The manager presented the business card with both hands.

Iwahashi Shinichi took it over and took a look. It was an artist from Box Corporation.He nodded to Nishiwaki and accepted the business card.In his impression, this firm also specializes in female artists, and has the trump card of Zhongshan Miho in his hand.

There are quite a few agencies specializing in female artists in the industry, and the competition among female stars is as fierce as it is.Of course, the flowering period after becoming popular is also shorter than one by one. …Otherwise, the competition would not be so fierce.

Knowing that the back wave will soon beat the front wave to death on the beach, the office is so rushing forward to grab that seat.

Yuriko Ishida, who finished looking at the mirror, also came to say hello to Iwahashi Shinichi.Yanqiao Shinichi accepted her courtesy, Nishiwaki took the opportunity to recommend Ishida Yuriko, and asked him to take care of him if he had the opportunity.

GENZO participated in the establishment of a TV production company, and "Lovely Season" was the No. [-] hit drama in the spring season, and Shinichi Iwahashi himself was still doing short variety shows on TV Tokyo, dealing with new directors and screenwriters.

According to the industry, this music producer is not uninterested in the TV industry.Even if he is not interested in the TV industry, with his energy, he can naturally create opportunities and bring opportunities to others.

……

Kitagawa invited guests, during the dinner, as expected, they talked about the Tokyo boy.

The members of the group are tentatively finalized at the moment—it is temporary, before they officially debut through the mainstream record, it is not surprising even if there are changes.

Even if it's not an agency like Johnny's that has various combinations and matching practices before debut, just say that the band, in the underground era and when the route has not been determined in the early stage of debut, it is normal for members to change.

Another special thing about Johnny's is that these teenagers often start to appear on TV before their debut, accumulating popularity and popularity.For Tokyo Boys, Kitagawa Hiroshi did not intend to change his usual strategy.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi does not approve of the band doing things that will only make them deeply bound to their idol status before their debut.

This requires using your brains to come up with the best of both worlds, and let the public accept that this is indeed a band.

Of course, on this point, Iwahashi Shinichi had chatted with Wanyumi Watanabe when he was formulating the plan for "It's Okay to Start on Monday".The point is, let the audience develop the band.

As early as when he took over this task, Iwahashi Shinichi had already made preparations.Now is a good time to ask, "I wonder if Jenissan will consider preparing an exclusive music variety show for the band."

In the program, the process of members learning musical instruments and songwriting is presented in a relatively professional but not boring way, and big-name musicians are invited to be the guests of the program, so that these teenagers sit on the same table with these musicians at the table.Not only exchange music, but also do small interviews.

In addition, you can discuss together, adapt and play songs, etc...

"In short, it's about putting the band's efforts in front of the audience."

It's up to the masses to witness for themselves how hard it is to be a real band.To put it bluntly, it is actually the same thing as "the ronin brother who sells fish in Tsukiji worked hard to get into the University of Tokyo".

Kitagawa listened patiently, but did not give a statement on the spot.However, Shinichi Iwahashi was not in a hurry, anyway, it wasn't him who was in a hurry to make a newcomer.Even if Tokyo Boys made their debut, GENZO is just making records for the band.

In terms of song selection, it is impossible to expect Kitagawa Hiroshi not to intervene.

Because of this, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't put much energy into Tokyo Boys.If I really want to say, the greater significance of participating in the production of Tokyo Boys should be to use this band combination as an opportunity to start dealing with Johnny.

Johnny's is in urgent need of a new facade.

Before GENJI dies, if the next superstar idol cannot be launched, then the male idol overlord will have to face an even worse situation.

But if you want to launch a new idol who will once again attract the attention of the public, you will need to make changes.

Finding Shinichi Iwahashi to cooperate with is part of seeking change.

However, while Shinichi Iwahashi collaborated with Kitagawa Hiroshi to make suggestions for this "band idol", on the other hand, he still had one thing in mind.

Chuck and Asuka are responsible for the music production of Hikari Genji.

The fact that this idol group is able to go national has a lot to do with the catchy singles they released and the quality of becoming popular classics.

If only relying on popularity to pile up sales, the combination will not have such long-lasting vitality.
