Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 845
Previously, Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe speculated that how to arrange SMAP was a kind of reminder and deterrent to Kitagawa Marie and Keiko's mother and daughter.

Today, listening to the two siblings talking about SMAP face to face, it was Marie Kitagawa, who was not allowed to participate in the production of SMAP from the beginning to the end, who took the initiative to start the conversation, and many of the things were clear.

Kitagawa Hiroshi and Kitagawa Marie, the two siblings are definitely not monolithic.

Or it should be said that if the issue of heirs is not involved, the two siblings can still cooperate seamlessly.But Keiko Fujishima was pushed up prematurely by Marie Kitagawa, which broke the balance.

Going back further, it was because Mari Kitagawa matched Fujishima Keiko and Kondo Masahiko, which caused Fujishima Keiko to be affected after Kondo Masahiko's transnational scandal. In order to cover up the scandal, she was pushed up.

When Kitagawa Marie was overjoyed for her daughter's blessing in disguise, Kitagawa Hiroshi was probably already prepared to stand on the sidelines.

In the end is a piece of ginger.

When Yanqiao Shen was thinking about turning around, he suddenly realized something.That is, Kitagawa Hiroshi doesn't seem to mind at all being found out that there are differences between the two of them, and even deliberately revealed this point for himself to see.

Although I can't tell if Iwahashi Shinichi thought too much himself, what is Kitagawa Hiroshi's intention?But first of all, this openness is exactly the embodiment of Kitagawa's hands-on handshake.

Kitagawa Hiroki and Kitagawa Marie chatted, but they didn't forget the guest Shinichi Iwahashi.Kitagawa took Shinichi Iwahashi as the guest of honor. Marie Kitagawa didn't know the young producer, nor did she know why her younger brother invited Shinichi Iwahashi to watch the SMAP concert.But Shinichi Iwahashi's identity is clear: a famous producer and the president of the record company.

As soon as I opened my mouth, I didn't worry about having nothing to say.

"Iwahashi-kun's previous project is very exciting." Marie Kitagawa also knows that this producer has a bright future, and it will be beneficial and harmless to make friends.While boasting, he mentioned the possibility of future cooperation.

"If there is such a plan again, how about considering Johnny's children?" She discussed nicely.But the meaning in the words is also clear, "Jennis only welcomes projects that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the previous projected albums."

Shinichi Iwahashi is polite and reserved, "In terms of the vision of making male idols, no one can surpass Johnny and Johnnyson." Similarly, he will only consider accepting the production invitation if Kitagawa asks him.

This sentence is not only an answer to Kitagawa Marie, but also a message to Kitagawa Ko.

Sure enough, he said so, and Kitagawa Hiroshi, who was listening, showed a reserved smile with a slightly moved expression.I don't know whether to be modest about the compliment from Shinichi Iwahashi, or to acknowledge that this young producer has a quick mind and a good eye.

But for Kitagawa Marie, since she recognizes Johnny's leading position in the male idol world...she first feels in her heart that this young man knows current affairs and has a clear mind.Among the new generation, he can be regarded as an outstanding figure.

It's just that the airs are a little more stable, and there is no humility of a junior in front of senior big shots.

However, thinking of becoming famous at a young age, one can somewhat understand his style.Kitagawa Marie is not stingy with showing her tolerant demeanor to young characters. ——As long as the other party is willing to appreciate it.

Yanqiao Shinichi was so polite that no one could fault him.

After chatting for a while, the "adults" who came to see SMAP left the lounge, leaving space for these teenagers, and after they rested, they will perform the last performance of the day.

As soon as the big shots retreated, Nakai Masahiro whispered, "That Iwahashi-san is a famous producer."

Cao Xun just took the words casually, "Could it be, this Yanqiao-san will be our producer?"

"It's best not to." Nakai Masahiro thought seriously.

This Iwahashi-san is a famous producer of bands and female idols. He loves rock music, and he even bought a record with Iwahashi Shinichi as the producer, but this is not the same thing as having him as the producer of a group.

"From a practical point of view, it would be more promising to have a producer like Yasushi Makino assist in the production..." Nakai Masahiro was thinking alone, and even Shingo Katori, who was sitting next to him, couldn't hear clearly .

Takuya Kimura didn't care, "Jenison must have thought about these things."

"That's true." Nakai Masahiro laughed.

JR, who has not yet debuted, has no right to say who will be the producer when he debuts.Nakai Masahiro and Kimura Takuya are the same age, and they are still classmates in the same high school. In the combination, they are like two backbone pillars.

As long as the two reached a consensus, the other four teenagers followed them.

"Also, even if it's really Iwahashi-san, it's not a bad thing." Kimura Takuya added.He smiled, "Such a character is very trustworthy, isn't it?"

"I've heard it's great." Katori Shingo, the youngest, was like Kimura Takuya's echo.

Nakai Masahiro smiled, looked at Kimura Takuya's handsome profile, and said, "Kimura-kun is very romantic."

Takuya Kimura turned his head, saluted him, and said with a smile, "As expected of Lida-san. He was seen through at a glance."

How can someone be so nonchalant and confident?

Nakai Masahiro didn't know for a while whether he admired him, envied him, or just a little jealous of him.

……

That night, SMAP's last performance of the day ended successfully.

Yanqiao Shinichi sat in the relation seat, watching these boys singing and dancing, with a bit of acrobatic performance.Of course, Johnny wore a one-size-fits-all suit and fancy costumes shirtless, and these ancestral aesthetics did not let them go.

Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't know whether the fans are happy or not.But he looked at it with question marks all over his head.

What is Kitagawa Hiroshi thinking?
But, aside from the confusing aesthetics, Johnny's idols are really good on stage. These teenagers, including the JR dancer, are all very skilled, and it's easy to do a backflip or something.

I don't know, I thought Johnny & Associates was some kind of amateur acrobatics training center.

When SMAP forms a group, he dances with Kwang GENJ.Light GENJI's stage features are roller skating boys and lightsaber dancers. These boys also put on roller skates and sang songs of their predecessors in their performances.

Johnny's ancestral heritage includes not only wonderful aesthetics and fans, but also famous songs from his predecessors.

Having said that, the level of SMAP's singing is really hard to compliment... Iwahashi Shenyi sighed quietly in his heart when he heard it.The sigh should not be too loud, so as not to disturb the other people in the relationship seat.

After all, all the staff sat upright, just like the relationship seat of parents attending a kindergarten performance.

However, after watching the whole concert, Iwahashi Shinichi still watched it with gusto.Rather than saying that SMAP's stage performance is highly completed, it is better to say that Johnny has rich experience and unique skills in stage performance.

After watching SMAP, one can probably imagine the performance of other groups in the concert.And these are not only the magic weapon of experience summed up by Johnny's years of cultivating male idols, but also the wealth and lifeblood of this firm's continuation in the future.

And in the process of watching, he probably also understood the meaning of those performance costumes that confuse aesthetics.The reasoning is similar to the fact that he agrees that Mihe-chan’s bewildered and aesthetic costumes become concert costumes. Firstly, it is to be conspicuous on the stage. Second, this unique thing is closer to “part of the stage”.

It's clothes that you can tell at a glance and can only be worn on stage.

When I thought that I agreed with Mihe-chan's bewildering aesthetic costumes as the designated costumes for the concert, not only that, but I also wore the costumes designed by Mihe-chan with a headgear...

It seems that Shinichi Iwahashi has no right to say that Johnny's aesthetics is confusing.

But in any case, watching SMAP's performance, Iwahashi Shinichi admired the old man Kitagawa in his heart. After watching SMAP's performance, the matter of cooperating with Johnny to cultivate an idol band is also a certainty.

……

The day after the concert, Shinichi Iwahashi went to Johnny's Office.This time, it was for the idol band that Kitagawa Hiroshi mentioned earlier.

Shinichi Iwahashi, Kitakawa Hiroshi, plus a coordinating manager who is in charge of Johnny JR's activities, the three of them sat together.

Kitagawa Hiroshi is not only the president of the office, but also seems to be keen on playing the role of the principal of the school and the manager of the club.The JRs selected by Johnny's have the opportunity to choose what they like to be good at to learn, and they are also encouraged to form teams with good friends. Usually, they also organize group activities such as outdoor activities and sports competitions.

To be honest, being Johnny's JR is no different from participating in school club activities.

Of course, the necessary manners, vocalizations, and ancestral acrobatics should be learned as well.

Johnny's family has a big business. In addition to this office building, there are activity centers for training JRs all over Tokyo, and there are also dormitory buildings specially provided for JRs to live in.Of course, it is estimated that there are hundreds of people in the entire JR that Johnny is registered with, and it is impossible to gather together for training every Sunday.

The band to be trained by Shinichi Iwahashi this time does not have a shadow yet, and it was difficult to decide on a lineup directly when nothing was prepared at the beginning.

After all, it was a temporary formation, rather than signing an underground band with a tacit understanding.

In addition, considering Kitagawa's parallel mode of "idol" and "band", those who are selected to form a band usually have to participate in the program together to complete the idol's work tasks.In this way, it is even more impossible to adopt the mode of determining the lead singer and then selecting suitable musicians to form a band.

You must also be able to work in a band, and as an idol, you must also have the standard of an idol.

In this way, it is necessary not only to look at the compatibility between the selected teenagers, but also to integrate the thoughts and opinions of Iwahashi Shinichi and Kitagawa Ko.

Preliminarily speaking, what Kitagawa means is to select JRs who are interested in music, willing to learn musical instruments or form a band, and then decide the final lineup based on their qualifications, wishes, and compatibility among members.

Right now, in such a situation where there is nowhere to start, Yanqiao Shinichi also thinks that this is a feasible solution.

"Afterwards, we will arrange a sleepover for the JRs. At that time, I would like to invite Yanqiao-kun to visit those children too." Kitagawa extended the invitation.

Yanqiao Shinichi agreed, and waited to go to the draft with Kita Chuanxuan later.

After the preliminary cooperation is settled, Shinichi Iwahashi's GENZO will send someone to serve as the teacher of the JRs who have entered the investigation state and participate in their training.And Shinichi Iwahashi will go to watch regularly, discuss with Kitagawa Ko, and finally decide on the list of candidates, and then carry out more systematic and comprehensive training.

Now is the first step.

Looking at the road is long, but neither Iwahashi Shinichi nor Kitagawa Hiroshi, no one is in a hurry.Anyway, before Johnny's idols debut, there is always a process of accumulating popularity. From forming a team to being approved to officially debut, it is normal to have an interval of two or three years.

Johnny's idol, the official debut is marked by the release of a record.Before that, even if he starred in TV dramas and participated in music shows, his identity in the office was still JR.

Most importantly, as long as there is no official debut, you will not receive the share.As far as the degree of skinning the rake is concerned, Johnny is also one of the most ruthless in the industry.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't even care about when this yet-to-be-established idol band debuted. He knew very well that it was one thing to cooperate in cultivating an idol band.More important than when this cooperating band will debut is how GENZO develops and how it treats Johnny.

Of course, the fact that the band is not the most important does not mean that the band is not important.

The men's fighting team failed miserably, Johnny's flamboyant performance band was ridiculed, and Kitagawa Kou also held back a sense of shame.For this reason, this time we must be steady and steady, and be an impeccable "idol band".

"There is a kid named Shigeru Jojima." Kitagawa Hiroshi and Iwahashi Shinichi mentioned, "The guitar is very good, and it is an unforgettable performance."

Johnny's JR is personally in charge of Kitagawa Hiroshi. He has an excellent memory, and the names and characteristics of JRs are clear.Now that I think about it, I can say it casually, as if I know better than the coordinating agent of the JRs who accompanied me next to me.

According to the introduction, this Shigeru Shigeru is 19 years old. He submitted his resume and joined Johnny's three years ago. As a JR, he is quite old.He has learned guitar since elementary school, and also formed an amateur band before joining Johnnys.After graduating from high school, I didn't take the college entrance examination. Now I live in the dormitory provided by Johnny, and I usually train and participate in some JR activities.

Listening to the introduction, it somehow gives people a shabby feeling.

Johnny doesn't allow JR to go out to work, and JR won't be able to get a share before his debut. It's okay for the young master from a good family, but those who don't have money can only use love to generate electricity and wait for their success.Almost 20 years old, still living in Johnny's dormitory, obviously not a young master.

Kitagawa Hiroshi means that Shigeru Jojima's guitar playing skills are good, and it is not a problem to be the lead guitarist of the band.Besides, he has a mature and steady personality, so it doesn't matter who he forms a team with.

... This is the positioning that regarded him as the backbone from the very beginning.

"If possible, please ask Iwahashi-kun to keep an eye on him next time." Kitakawa suggested.

Iwahashi Shinji wrote down the name.
