Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 156
In the era of material scarcity, instant noodles soaked in 3 minutes are rare and delicious. However, now that material is abundant, even well-cooked meals may not be able to satisfy the tastes of the public.

The TV station in the early stage welcomes all kinds of ideas with an open mind. However, in today's golden age, if you want to get the favor of the TV station, you have to work several times harder than before.

Yanqiao Shinichi felt that the era he was living in now was somewhat similar to the Rabbit Country he lived in in his previous life.Even TV shows, talent shows are flooding nowadays, and there is a subtle overlap with the atmosphere of good voices, singers and actors in Rabbit Country all day long.

But I have to say that it's nothing more than a talent show for amateurs. It's really strange that you are a singer and I am an actor.

Jumping out and singing a song and overwhelming everyone saying that you are a singer, is it to prove that "I am a singer because of my singing skills", or "I am still a singer even though I have not found him for so many years"?
As for those who participated in acting shows and were judged and scored by fellow actors, it was even more inexplicable.Co-author of all the dramas you acted in the past is just for fun?If there is no program to stamp you, you are not called an actor.

In a disguised form, he admits that he is an outdated old fried dough stick.

When the popularity rises, the feelings catch up, the value rises, and then the endless cycle of commercial performances and heavy tastes begins.

Participating in variety shows, we are serious.

Stop talking, stop talking.

Apologies in advance, don't take it seriously - the above is just for individual people, and your favorite is not included.

In the golden age of television, relying on the TV station's office, I don't know how much money I have to spend every year to manage the TV station. TBS, one of the three most expensive TV stations, is even more awesome.

TBS is responsible for the production of the first and second variety shows. In addition, there are TV drama department, intelligence department, sports department, etc., and each department performs its own duties.

To do a music program, the person in charge of the reception is the producer of the second part.

When they met, Wanyumi Watanabe and Shinichi Iwahashi handed over their business cards to each other.

Everyone in the industry knows who Watanabe Wanyumi is. Unexpectedly, when the producer took Shinichi Iwahashi's business card, he even had some reactions, "Iwahashi-san is now focusing on making music? I was expecting you to do it again for the TV industry. what?"

This is probably due to the reputation of playing bad Matsumoto Akiko before.

He made a little effort and pushed Matsumoto Akiko as the vanguard to pierce the layer of paper. After that, idols and TV stations have also learned from them. Now they will never do things to idols, absolutely not to Whatever the idol said, they used it brazenly.

To some extent, in the eyes of some people who maintain the orthodoxy of Qingzhengmei, Iwahashi Shinichi and Akimoto Yasushi, a chubby young man who created an amateur FMCG idol, belong to the same breed. .

Of course, his badness is at most a stumbling block, which is nothing compared to the fat young man who subverted the industry.

However, Wanyumi Watanabe took advantage of the situation and introduced: "This project was created by Iwahashi-san, so it can be regarded as a combination of music and television."

"Really?" The producer nodded, "As a talent show, this plan is very interesting. Rather than calling it a talent show, it should be called a talent entertainment show. But even if it is taken as a talent show, It's also unique."

"So, what do you think is the feasibility of the program?"

"Interesting is very interesting, and the effect may be very good when it is made. However, before it can be realized, several key problems must be overcome first."

Praising the producers with interesting ideas, we cannot ignore the complex relationships involved behind this seemingly simple program.

The idea of ​​debuting as a champion, and "STAR!"Birth" is exactly the same, but "STAR!"Birth" was supported by most of the industry at that time, and it was recognized as a program that would change the entertainment industry.

To be honest, the industry was uneasy about Watanabe's monopoly at the time. In particular, Watanabe Shin threatened not to allow his singers to appear in NTV's programs because of conflicts with NTV, which made the TV station feel threatened.

If you can break up with NTV, you can also break up with other TV stations.

Therefore, in order to get rid of the previous one-sided situation, the TV station, various small offices, and record companies have reached such a subtle consensus to overthrow Watanabe Productions. ".

Up to now, Yanyin has drawn Nakamori Akina to develop rapidly, and the burning system has become more and more powerful in collusion with Jidao Baidao. HORIPRO has taken off by relying on idols. The previous situation of dominance by one family has long gone, and now it is an era of fighting among heroes.

Even though the TV talent show still has its unique charm, it is not as necessary for the firm as it used to be.

In that case, if we do this band audition, whether we can gather enough partners will be a question mark.

"STAR!"Birth" opened up the so-called orthodox draft mode, and "Twilight Meow" brought another special draft mode. After the two programs were announced to end, the TV station followed the trend of the two draft modes. However, those talent shows that are still on the air, both in terms of ratings and audience response, are not very good, and the number of talent shows that are put on the agenda to be cut in half is also increasing.

The draft fever has reached its limit, and this matter has become a consensus among TV stations.Therefore, although the talent show is still going on, it is difficult to get good time slots and the funds are constantly being cut. At this time, submitting a script of a talent show is not so attractive to the TV station.

Even the sponsors are hesitant to sponsor such programs because of the decline in popularity of the talent show market.Although it is an era of spending money like water, it is also an era of vanity. It is the best choice to invest in more "high-end" movies and TV dramas in the entertainment industry. Even if you invest in programs, the best is the prime time.

Because of this, droughts and floods have caused droughts and floods, and the prime time has become more and more generous. A stage that costs several million yen is drizzle.

TBS agreed to interview them face-to-face because the program was really interesting to watch and because of Watanabe's production face.However, quality and face can be a stepping stone, but not a decisive key.

The band audition is unprecedented, but the talent show has already been played badly.

The current situation is that the talent show itself is not very valuable.Therefore, if there is a talent show, it is easy to talk about it as a back-up show, but if it occupies a reasonable time slot, it can be discussed.

However, the pre-show program will not attract decent partners, and it is not bad. If the harvest is not as expected, it will become troublesome.

TBS is rich and powerful, and can spend a lot of money to produce exquisite programs for the public that have a high ratings. But for things that are uncertain, even if the investment is not that big, they are unwilling to try.

Because there is still the possibility that the programs that are more valued by the family at the same time will receive better results.

Due to various reasons, TBS's second production did not show too much enthusiasm for this talent show.

"So, what do you think?" Mayumi Watanabe listened obediently.

"If it's a newcomer selection program, maybe it doesn't need to be so laborious." The producer began to change the plan of Yanqiao Shinichi on the spot.

Change the plan into the form of a band together, and broadcast it in the afternoon. First, the primary selection will be held, and then the selected bands will be gathered together. Each period will carry out various duels and running-in, and the entertainment part will be carried out. Zoom in, and finally decide on a group of winners, or a combination of winners and quasi-winners, and make a record for them.

"If the response is good, we can proceed with the second season." The producer said.

According to the producer's revision method, only about half of the outline they sent was used, and the part left by the producer was also concentrated on the entertainment part that Shinichi Iwahashi used as an embellishment.

In other words, TBS is more willing to make this program an entertainment program.

This result is obviously unsatisfactory.

However, the two Xinxin companies came to the leading TV station to promote themselves with their business proposals, and it was not easy to get to the interview.

However, the producer didn't say anything dead, and gave another proposal, "It's not impossible to sign the contract according to this plan. However, there are two issues that I hope you can solve before signing the contract."

"First of all, in terms of funding, I ask you to bear part of it. In the current situation, it is a bit difficult for us to do a talent show, especially if we want to get a similar time slot. I hope you can share this risk together."

"In addition, I also ask you to talk about the entry of a decent partner, no matter how it is supported."

The producer finished talking about the two conditions, and then asked another question, "But even so, because the late night show here has no plans to close down or change to a music variety show for the time being, if you follow your plan Come to think of it, maybe it will be delayed until October next year..."

"To be honest, even if you want to buy our time slot to do the show, if we don't have double insurance, we can't smash our own signboard." The producer said.

"October next year?"

The first two conditions are all good, but Wanyumi Watanabe shows hesitation when it comes to the time period.

As for TBS, they are completely obedient and do what they want, and let it go if they don’t want to.

Of course, this is normal.

Competing with Fuji TV for the No.1 super-big station all the year round, with a lot of talents, good plans, and a firm that is rushing to cooperate, how can they deal with an idea that they think is worthless? Cast with excessive enthusiasm.

What's more, even when Shin Watanabe was here, he didn't have much friendship with TBS. Today, Watanabe Productions has declined, and Wanyumi Watanabe has come out to stand on her own, and TBS has no favors to sell to her.

Even if Shin Watanabe is here, if he wants to get the time slot, he will rely on his contacts to attract partners, and then spend a lot of money to buy the time slot.These things that have been made clear are only fair and aboveboard discussions, and there is no conspiracy to reverse the situation.

It’s a good thing to hit a wall when you’re just starting a business.

After talking, the producer is ready to see off the guests.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Mayumi left the conference room and walked to the parking lot.The two people on the road didn't speak to each other until they got into the car and Mayumi Watanabe suddenly said, "Let's think about TV Asahi."

"What a coincidence," Yanqiao Shinichi replied, "I was thinking about this just now."

It is a matter of attracting partners to enter the stage that must be resolved. Watanabe Wanyumi also prepared to bear part of the expenses when preparing this project and submitting the book. Things that were resolved later were brought up front as insurance.

However, if they had to wait until October of next year to do this show again, after waiting for more than a year, the two new companies that were waiting to rely on the band for food could not wait that long.

The harsh conditions of TBS made it difficult for them to step down.

Wanyumi Watanabe made a joke, "It's more at ease this way. I was thinking that if the program I made accidentally fought with Fuji TV, I would be blamed by my sister and brother-in-law when I go home."

These words were clearly meant to be reassuring, and Yanqiao Shinichi did not poke her.

Wanyumi Watanabe finished the joke, and immediately said seriously: "This time, let's change the order and win over the partner first."

"Have you thought of something suitable?" Yanqiao Shinichi asked her.

"For the office, I would like to invite AMUSE, the president of Osato." The speed at which Wanyumi Watanabe announced the name seemed to have been considered in her heart.

"President Osato has supported the music festival a lot before. I think if I ask him about this matter, I may be able to get support." Watanabe Mayumi said.

"Also, when the president Dali started his career, he signed Southern Star. It seems that he once formed a band when he was a student."

"Really?" Shinichi Yanqiao overheard a gossip. It turns out that BANDMAN has a successful precedent for changing careers to become the president.

"Since the band started, we should be more sensitive to the current trend of bands."

"It makes sense." Iwahashi Shin nodded, and suddenly asked, "The Kenyin Office, do you want to find a way to introduce President Nozaki to us through Nozaki-san, and try your luck?"

Wanyumi Watanabe smiled, "Nozaki-kun's side...it's not impossible."

Didn't say good, didn't say bad.

"Actually, when it comes to firms, you don't need to cooperate too much. It is enough to have one or two as support. Too much is not good. It will mess up the forces of all parties. At that time, you will not get any benefits."

"The focus should still be on the record company." Yanqiao Shinichi said.

"Exactly." Watanabe Mayumi nodded.

"So, what about the record company? Do you have any favorite choices?" Shinichi Iwahashi then asked.

"I'm still waiting for you to talk about it." Wanyumi Watanabe threw the topic to him at once, "Since the firm has proposed one, the record company will ask you to propose one."

"It's not a disadvantage at all." Yanqiao Shen smiled at her.

Manyumi Watanabe was noncommittal.

"Let me think about it..." Iwahashi Shinichi pondered for a while, "How about CBS Sony?"
