Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 162
For college students who aim to work in TV stations, [-]% of their first choice is Fuji TV, followed by TBS and NTV. They are selected by the three major TV stations in turn. In the end, if they don’t want any, they go to TV Asahi and TV Tokyo.

In terms of ratings, TV Asahi can't compete for the first and second, and it has nothing to do with the third. After all, it is ranked fourth after the big three. The three mountains are relatively easy.

Producer Fujimoto praised the project, and Wanyumi Watanabe took the opportunity to introduce Shinichi Iwahashi to him, and explained to Fujimoto that the "Iwahashi" who wrote the project was the Iwahashi in front of him.

Although she didn't become Watanabe Wanyumi's subordinate and made her fall into a big void, Watanabe Wanyumi has been trying her best to cultivate Iwahashi Shinichi, introducing him to people from all walks of life, even learning golf (in his opinion) Keeping little things in mind, he can be called a model ex-boss and model partner.

Knowing this, Producer Fujimoto couldn't help but look at him with admiration, and even his attitude changed.

At the beginning, he was kind to Wan Yumi Watanabe, but he didn't pay much attention to the young man who came with her. When he couldn't put his title of ability on his face, age and appearance were the criteria for judgment.

However, when Wanyumi Watanabe revealed his identity, the age that made him belittled by Fujimoto turned to praise him.

"Mr. Yanqiao is really young and promising."

Yanqiao Shinichi showed a professional smile, "You are too much."

"This is not a compliment." Fujimoto said, "Although this station has not launched a talent show that sparked a topic, I still know about the talent shows of other stations. The talent show has been very mature until now. Find new ideas based on the basics. Although innovation is not easy, it is even more difficult to innovate on old things.”

After the commercial touting is over, the topic continues.

After deliberation, TV Asahi's production department accepted the talent show with an overwhelming majority of votes, and it was on the premise of not interfering with the existing content.

Empty glove White Wolf NG, in order to ensure its right to speak, Watanabe Manyumi’s U-MIZ has undertaken a considerable part of the production costs. It is considered independent from Watanabe Productions. The agency has allocated a lot of money, so it is no problem to invest in a program .

AMUSE and Kenyin have joined, and the production budget is sufficient. They need money and people. TV Asahi is interested in this project, and they have not produced a talent show that brings topicality.

On the other hand, they themselves don't have any decent programs in the late night, because the ratings pressure is relatively low, so they can make bold attempts instead. The so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.

As for the time slot, it has already been concluded that programs that require public participation should not be too late at night. Similarly, because of the part that needs to express "personality", such as students who have just returned home from school at four or five o'clock in the afternoon It doesn't work during the time period. If you choose this time period, you may receive a letter of complaint.

The parents of this book have a lot to do.

After negotiation, a period of 10 minutes from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] on Saturday night was given.

Although it was a late-night stall, it was not too late at night, and it was Saturday Carnival Night. At this point, people who were eating, drinking, and having fun outside had almost returned home. It was time to watch TV while drinking a little wine after taking a shower.

Among the late-night stalls, it is considered a first-class good schedule.

At this stage, it is only a planning proposal. To make the program come true, TV Asahi will first form a production team for this program. As the organizers, U-MIZ, AMUSE, and Kenyin will each send representatives to participate in the discussion to ensure opinions. The communication and communication, and then invite special script writers into the group to write specific scripts.

The arts world is a place where each person performs his or her own duties. It's fine for one person to take charge of the overall situation, but it's a big deal if you have to do everything yourself.

After the establishment of the production team, since it is a talent show, there must be judges and hosts. These are all problems to be solved.The judges must have influence in the music industry and have experience in making bands. Not only that, they must focus on "personality", and good old judges are not suitable, so it is quite troublesome to choose.

TV stations and law firms brainstormed, considered suitable candidates, made a list and then used the method of elimination to select.

The choice of host is more cautious. Basically, depending on what host you choose, the public will have a preconceived awareness of this program based on the host's previous program style.

Not only that, since we want to focus on "personality" and prevent the band from restraining their personality, we must also select judges with personality. In order not to cause a fight on the spot with too much personality, the host must not only string together the entire program process, but also become a personality judge. A buffer for collisions with personalities.

In this way, it would be impossible not to choose a powerful host to shake the field.

As the host of the show, the president of AMUSE Yokichi Osato recommended Yuji Miyake.

This is a rakugo artist, and he has his own troupe, Super Eccentric Theater, where TV hosts, stage plays, and movie performances are flourishing, and he is very important in the industry.

As for why Yoshinori Osato recommended this famous TV star to be the host, it was because Yuji Miyake's own management contract and the performance of his troupe were all in charge of AMUSE... In other words, it was his own.

For a late-night audition show, it was a bit extravagant to invite a big-name host, but because AMUSE was recruited, everything was easy to discuss with his own people, so Yuji Miyake agreed to accept this show.

Yuji Miyake has excellent hosting skills and first-class field control ability. Not only that, he has a wide range of interests in music. He just caught up with the popularity of Group Sounds when he was a student. He is very good at playing guitar and piano. Professional Knowledge is also beyond doubt.

It can be said to be an excellent candidate.

The host made the decision in a logical manner, with almost no disturbances.As for the judges, it was a slightly lengthy game of elimination.

On the one hand, it is up to this side to finalize the competent judges first, and on the other hand, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the other party after the finalization.

The No. 1 choice is the music producer Masahide Sakuma, who was originally from a band, and then moved behind the scenes, and was also the producer of the BOWY band.

The band BOWY is extremely popular nowadays. It can be said that all Japanese rock lovers at this stage regard it as a god-like band. Although they have not existed for a long time, their influence among young people is very strong.

Now in the underground music circle, there are countless underground bands imitating their clothing style and music form. Their music is sharp and avant-garde, their stage performance style is bold and novel, and their visual impact is extremely strong, which can be said to be charismatic.

The soul of the band is lead singer Himuro Kyosuke and guitarist Budai Inotai, most of the lyrics and music are written by these two people.

The name of Budai Yintai, Yanqiao Shenyi, is quite impressive. On the one hand, this surname is full of memory, and on the other hand, he vaguely remembers seeing the gossip news that he greened a certain colorectal cancer... Let’s not talk about it.

Interestingly, despite working together in the same band, the personalities of these two geniuses are completely incompatible.

Think about it carefully, the four-member band composition, the two souls co-writing music, the relationship between mutual dislike and deep love, the trend-setting music style... Japanese Beatles?

Anyway, BOWY is undoubtedly a genius.Masahide Sakuma, who can act as a producer for BOWY, is recognized as a genius, and it is self-evident how amazing it is.

With BOWY's influence in the underground music circle, it goes without saying that if their producer can serve as a judge.

Sakuma Masahide became the first finalized judge candidate. After deciding to invite him, he began to contact him. However, when he approached him for the first time, Sakuma Masahide rejected him very simply.

"I don't know any TV show, I'm the producer behind the scenes," he said.

Sometimes this kind of thing has nothing to do with big names or not. Some behind-the-scenes workers are reluctant to appear in front of the TV. Whether you hate TV or not is another matter. There is also a reason for "professional ethics".

In the Japanese entertainment industry with a clear division of labor, there are still many behind-the-scenes people who abide by the rule of not appearing on the stage.

Not only the people behind the scenes, like the band BOWY, while maintaining a hard-core image, they rarely show up in front of the TV.

This is not to deliberately pretend to be cool, to exclude that kind of studio band. For the band, their greatest charm is "live". The ever-changing arrangement and improvisation, and the full-style live, always make the fans look forward to it. .

It can be said to be a strategy to reduce TV appearances and maintain a sense of mystery, while relying on housekeeping skills to develop fans, but at the same time, it is also the pursuit of the band.

However, in this way, some bands that imitate them have to learn the whole set if they want to learn, and they also think that orthodox rock bands should be less on TV.Little do they know that BOWY is really cool, but most of the people who imitate them are pretending to be cool.

After being rejected once, the production team was not discouraged.It is difficult to invite this producer to appear on the stage, but after being rejected once, it is not necessary to lose the need to work hard.

It’s funny to say that Sangu thatched cottage was not said by Shinichi Iwahashi, but by the staff of the production team. Although Masahide Sakuma refused, it’s not that there is no room for maneuver. It’s fashionable to give up on him now. Early, there is still a need to fight for it.

Then, he took Uncle Liu Huang as a chestnut, saying that he had at least visited the thatched cottage three times.

Shinichi Iwahashi, a former veteran player of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, was sitting in the conference room at that time. Hearing this sentence, he sincerely expressed the Japanese's love for the Three Kingdoms.

However, his words may not be unreasonable. Sakuma Masahide is indeed an excellent candidate. He not only has style and ability, but also has influence. If he does not fight to the end, he will give up after being rejected once.

Therefore, the production team decided to try to negotiate with Masahide Sakuma again.

In ancient times, Uncle Liu visited the thatched cottage three times... Although the production team did not have a Han family to help, fortunately Sakuma Masahide could not scold anyone to death.

……

The judging is often a three-person system. First put Masahide Sakuma there to occupy the next spot, and the production team began to discuss and resolve the other two judging candidates.

Producer Yoshida Ken was nominated. This is quite amazing. The record company he belongs to is a folk song-based label, but he is "not doing business properly". He is very interested in idol songs and rock, and has served as the director of many music programs. Music team, the way is very wild.

Not only that, but he is also a well-known vicious tongue in the industry, and his words hit the nail on the head. If you invite him to stir up conflicts with the band, the effect will probably be very good.

The other is Ito Ginji, an arranger and producer, whose life trajectory is similar to that of Sakuma Masahide. First he formed a band, then made his solo debut, and then slowly retreated behind the scenes, becoming a well-known producer in the industry.

There is also a full-time music producer named Yueguang Huiliang, who was originally the vice president of a music production company called BEING. Later, because he didn't agree with the company's philosophy, he set up his own business and worked as a producer for rock bands. He has rich experience.

Seeing that it was from a music production company, Yanqiao Shinichi paid extra attention.This person was nominated as a candidate for Sakuma Masahide. If the master's side really fails, then I will contact him to make up for it.

After the production team was established, as a representative of GENZO, he made a name in the group, and went to listen to it when there were meetings. Watanabe Wanyumi’s U-MIZ sent another representative to join the group, but even so, every time After the meeting, Wanyumi Watanabe would call him and ask him what he thought.

Since resigning from the agency and becoming independent, he has returned to the semi-underground and stayed away from the ground wave. He has hardly set foot on the TV station again.But now, because of attending the meeting, during this period of time, Iwahashi Shinichi lived a life of reporting on TV Asahi from time to time.

This day was Thursday, and he came to the TV station for a meeting. He didn't expect to meet Akina Nakamori again.

TV Asahi launched a new music program "MUSIC STATION" last year, which is broadcast every Friday night in prime time. It is now a music program that TV Asahi is pushing hard.

The budget is sufficient, the guest lineup is good, and the host was first Hiroshi Sekiguchi, but this year it was adjusted and replaced by Tamori, who is more famous.The program focuses on the live broadcast, so in order not to make mistakes during the live broadcast, I often go to the TV station to participate in a rehearsal one or two days in advance.

The two met unexpectedly in the stairwell, and they looked at each other, and the expressions on both sides were unnatural for a moment.

Yanqiao Shen thought to himself, it hasn't been long since he witnessed her family dispute that day.So he looked away, ready to say hello as if nothing had happened and leave.

As a result, before he spoke, Nakamori Akina greeted him first: "Thank you, Iwahashi-san."

The one who followed her today was not the male manager whom she had met several times before, but a young girl in her 20s who looked a bit jerky, like a newcomer.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Yanqiao Shenyi was robbed by her, so she also replied.

　Lao Shu received two blocking notifications tonight, but he didn’t know how to change them
