Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1082
Only GENJI can have today, Chuck and Asuka have contributed a lot.

Similarly, once these two geniuses give up their cooperation with Hikari GENJI, this combination that has not been one of the most popular since the idol era will face a huge crisis.

Because, the songs that make them different from ordinary idols and have the nationality of today are all made by these two geniuses.In other words, although the public likes the music of Hikari GENJI, their ears are tuned by Chuck and Asuka.

Without Chuck and Asuka, GENJI's soul will change.

If there is no familiar taste, the public will naturally leave the music of this group.Idols can hold concerts or be on TV just by their popularity, but to maintain their nationality, they must have popular songs or classic characters.

Compared with interpreting a classic character, it is easier to rely on a famous songwriter to write a good song-anyway, idols don't need to sing.Those brats in the group are all empty-headed guys. If Chuck and Asuka were gone, they would just wait for their popularity to be consumed slowly.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Kitagawa Hiroshi cooperated with Tokyo Boys, but they still wanted to let Hikari Genji lose that support.

In contact with Kitagawa, Shinichi Iwahashi not only had the idea of ​​helping to make music, but also had greater ambitions for this firm.

The female idol market has always been free and open, and every agency has a chance to launch a phenomenal female idol and lead the moment.But the male idol market was monopolized by Johnny's. Even BURNING poached Go Hiromi back then, but it didn't stop Johnny's from further expanding and dominating the male idol market.

Now, of course, the era of idols has come to an end, but idols will not disappear.In addition to the "heroic" idol stars that Shinichi Iwahashi envisioned, including some traditional idols who rely on selling their own charm, they will not disappear with the end of this idol era.

This is just like the fashion elements have a cycle of change, and the popularity of the entertainment industry is the same, with singers, idols, and bands appearing in turn.While female idols can make their own, male idols have to deal with Johnny.

Then, while dealing with each other, try to find ways to infiltrate your own power and influence into Johnny's.

In addition, it is true that this firm is a family business. However, it is not difficult to see Kitagawa's success in the series of events in which the Heike school made a hasty debut, SMAP followed closely, and Keiko Fujishima transferred to NTV. Expansion knocks signs of Kitagawa Marie mother and daughter.The more factions there are in a firm, the more opportunities there are to find a suitable angle to participate in.

Shinichi Iwahashi, sincerely, wants to become "Jenison's new friend" one day.

After chatting about the production progress of Tokyo Kid, Shinichi Iwahashi also gave his own plan. Next, we will wait and see how Kitagawa Hiroshi will act.

It's hard to say whether the meal was enjoyable or not, but both sides have said what they want to say, and there is nothing dissatisfied with what they heard, so the mission of this trip is considered to be completed.

The two began to chat without saying a word. Sanzhi Iijima had been a guest hostess from the beginning, but when talking about the progress of the Tokyo Boys, she also spoke at the right time, sharing what she knew and what the two of them wanted to hear. report.

With such alertness, even Kitagawa Hiroshi subconsciously gave her an extra look.

At this moment, the topic of the Tokyo boy was exposed, and she was only cooking during the dinner.Of course, I also heard the conversation between Iwahashi Shinichi and Kitagawa Hiroshi clearly.

"...how about SMAP?"

When Hiroshi Kitagawa suddenly mentioned this name, Mitomo Iijima's heart skipped a beat, remembering the group of gaudy young idols he had seen on Tokyo TV not long ago.

She lowered her eyebrows and listened, while Kitagawa Hiroko was discussing with Iwahashi Shinichi, asking the composer of GENZO for a song.

Iwahashi Shinichi had no reason to refuse the job of taking over jobs for the singers under his banner.But in my heart, for the SMAP group, I don't think they can start with a good song.

Of course, for Kitagawa Hiroshi, cooperating with GENZO, which is full of fresh blood, is trying a new possibility, and did not hope to get a song from the composer of GENZO that would make SMAP a bit better.

Shinichi Iwahashi has never heard SMAP sing, so he doesn't know anything about the singing level of this group and the level of cooperation among the members.At the moment, he just agreed, and didn't talk about more specific things.

Before parting, Kitagawa Hiroshi suddenly mentioned it, and asked one more question, "What is Iwahashi-kun's impression of Gang?"

Yanqiao Shenyi replied, "It reminds me of the [-]% of the three offers of tea."

Kitagawa responded for a moment, as if comparing the images of the two in his heart.After a while, I laughed.He continued to ask, "What is your impression of Guangyi?"

Yanqiao Shenyi thought for a while, "The child lowered his head too low, and couldn't see his face clearly."

With his appearance, it is hard to say whether he is serious, or he is not serious on purpose.However, Kitagawa Hiroshi liked his answer quite a bit, "I will leave it to Iwahashi-kun to suspense about seeing you next time."

Yanqiao Shinichi also smiled, and responded in unison, "Please let me see that child again next time."

……

Iwahashi Shinichi proposed a variety show for Tokyo Boys, and Kitagawa Hiroshi didn't think about it for too long. Within two days, he called to discuss the specific details with Iwahashi Shinichi.

Johnny's influence on several private TV stations is extraordinary, and it's easy to set up a schedule.

Here, after discussing the details with Yanqiao Shinichi on the front foot, he can meet and socialize with the people from the TV production bureau on the back foot. The gold dollar offensive, coupled with Johnny's influence, and a little favor accumulated over the years, can be finalized.After that, it was to deal with the experienced music program producer at the production bureau who held the ace program, and was responsible for the production of the program.

Generally speaking, Kitagawa Hiroshi's style of doing things is not one that likes to boldly recruit newcomers.

However, because Shinichi Iwahashi took over the music production of Tokyo Boys, if this variety show really starts, Hiroshi Kitagawa still hopes that he can be named as the consultant of the show.

For this, Yanqiao Shinichi readily agreed.Of course, if he is named as a consultant, musicians from GENZO may guest star as the music teacher of Tokyo Boys, or be a guest on the show.

In parallel with the finalization of Tokyo Boys' new program plan, Iwahashi Shinichi received SMAP's demo tape from Johnny's side.

It was not produced by a tuner with an annual salary of tens of millions, but the original audition tape in the recording studio.

Ok……

Yanqiao Shinichi hasn't personally selected a newcomer for a while, and he hasn't heard an audition tape of the level of support for love.Thanks to this combination, he recalled this feeling again.

I really don't have much singing skills at all, and even the tune ran from Tokyo to Yokosuka.There are one or two that are barely passable, but there is no need to report too high expectations.Sure enough, idols don't need to sing.

The level of these six people collaborating on the same song is about the same as singing in karaoke again and again - only a little more excitement is desirable.

Karaoke standard.

Coming to this conclusion, Yanqiao Shen began to think in his heart that he should prepare a song suitable for singing in karaoke for this group.After finalizing the direction, he called and asked for a few song demos from the music library.

In addition, Yanqiao Shin thought, since he is a karaoke singer, it is not impossible for SMAP to try a cover song.

However, if it is a cover, it is meaningless to cover a famous song.For those famous songs that have been sung by ordinary people over and over again in karaoke, there is no need to ask a few karaoke singers to sing again, and there is a risk of being complained by ordinary people, "Can this also be released as a single?"

If you want to cover, you have to sing less popular songs in the works of singers who are popular with young people, or catchy songs in the works of singers who are not well-known and popular.

Give this group a task of "finding karaoke hits for the general public".

……

Before the end of June, "The Lovely Season" ushered in the finale.

From the eighth episode onwards, the ratings of the TV series continued to rise, and the ratings of the episode before the finale broke through [-].This season's ratings champion has been firmly secured, and there is even a possibility of hitting the ratings record of "Tokyo Love Story" at the beginning of the year.

With such a high degree of attention, and the imminent opportunity to overwhelm the competition, TBS TV station also worked hard to use various publicity methods for the finale, and began to hit the ratings record.

At the beginning of the year, when Fuji TV's "Tokyo Love Story" was on the air, it occupied the promotional posters in the streets and alleys before the finale. This situation was reproduced by TBS TV's "Lovely Season" three months later.

In the winter and spring seasons, two prime-time TV dramas in succession are gaining momentum. On the one hand, it is to wait and see how much skill "Lovely Season" can show in the end; The mass media began to pay attention to the meaning behind this and the signal conveyed.

It is these two urban TV dramas that just capture the content that the audience likes - the former is the current urban love, and the latter is a brand new female friendship.

But there may be another message: more people watching TV.

However, for the general public, even if they occasionally see similar analysis in newspapers or magazines, it is just a pastime while reading.

During the lunch break, Miho flipped through the magazines.In a female-oriented magazine, there is a small article talking about the success factors of "Tokyo Love Story" and "Lovely Season", two TV series.

It shows the brand-new love and friendship of modern women. It is no longer as old as the previous TV series, and it lacks understanding of today's women...

Seeing such words, Miho was taken aback for a while.

What is the new love of modern women, Miho is not quite clear.In fact, she hasn't talked about a decent relationship until now. She knows almost nothing about "love" and relies on romance comics and idol dramas to enrich her imagination.

The Akana Lixiang sauce of "Tokyo Love Story" is very charming and desirable.However, Miho is also clear that the love of modern women it shows is no different from what she sees when she reads manga.

Ordinarily, I would not have felt so worried about the friendship between Kanon and Naoko in "The Lovely Season" as I do now. I worry about it every week, sometimes happy and sometimes sad.

The reason for this is that she also gained a friendship outside of TV dramas.

It has been three weeks since Zhang Zi lost contact.During this period, she did not contact Miho, and Miho tried to call Zhang Zi, but there was no reply.

In the company, there was a topic about "Akiko Suzuki owed usury and disappeared from the world". After it became popular for a while, it has already turned this page. Colleagues in the same department seem to have never appeared before.

A cold and polite workplace is just like this.Once a colleague leaves, he becomes a person in another world.

The only change was that on Friday night, those female colleagues who had been driven by Miho and Zhang Zi to go home to watch TV dramas all returned to their previous all-night carnival life.

But in private, Miho once heard these female colleagues whispering about the TV plot during the lunch break.

Just herself, as always, with an early exit on a Friday night.It's just that no one came forward to respond to her and left with her. Colleagues only regarded her as a TV fan and a loyal fan of Akina Nakamori.

Miho is the only one who still remembers Zhang Zi and keeps her in his heart.The reason for this is that Zhang Zi is her friend, not a colleague who can turn the page at any time.

Not being able to confirm Akiko's whereabouts, or even whether she is safe or not, made Miho feel uneasy.In particular, Zhang Zi disappeared because of debt collection, which made Miho feel even more worried.

Newspapers and magazines, as well as TV shows, kept talking about this era of spending money, but why, her friend was desperate for just 300 million yen?
What does this era of spending a lot of money have to do with them?

They are nothing more than ordinary.Even Zhang Zi, who looks glamorous, is just pushed away in this era, skinned and cramped by everything, tangible and intangible, and sucked dry of blood.

From learning about Zhang Zi's situation, to now she misses Zhang Zi alone.Miho thought about many issues that she had never thought about before.The answer to the question seemed to be in front of him, but it was indistinct.

That led her to pick up a pen and write all about mackerel and tuna.

Zhang Zi lost track, and the TV series is still on the air.

After Zhang Zi left, Kanon reunited with Naoko.They meet and smile to end their grievances, and they become each other's pillars again, praying and blessing each other for each other, and giving each other for each other.

Kanon regains her mood and looks for a new opportunity to perform on stage. Naoko is looking forward to her.At the same time, Kanon is also really looking forward to the little life conceived in Naoko's womb.For Naoko, Kanon, who never leaves cigarettes in the first episode, also quit cigarettes.

However, on the one hand, the two people are looking forward to it together, on the other hand, a dark cloud hangs over Naoko's head.Her physical condition may put her life in danger if she is to give birth to this child.

In her heart, Miho seemed to have imagined what the ending would be.However, he couldn't help but harbored a glimmer of expectation.
