Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 382
In the afternoon, Mrs. Watanabe took her poor student. The two put down their books, walked out of the classroom, and went to the Ginza Teaching Practice Base to carry out a unique teaching activity.

...Well, just go to the department store in Ginza together, discuss what gift to buy to visit that Suzuki-san.

When going to such an occasion, in terms of choosing gifts, there are actually rules to follow, and there is no need for any fancy things. It is better to call Shinichi Iwahashi than to ask him to be a staff member. It is more lively to choose together.

By the way, I can chat again, talk about business and private matters.

"Yesterday, I went to Mori-san's house to visit Masako-san." At the beginning of shopping, Mayumi Watanabe walked briskly, and the topic of conversation was also relaxed.The magic of shopping is incredible.

"It's been a while since those two sons were born." In contrast, Yanqiao Shinichi, who was shopping with him, was a little absent-minded.It seems that what should be added to him should be DEBUFF.

In April of this year, the eldest son of Mori Shinichi and Mori Masako was born, and he sent a postcard to Iwahashi Shinichi, it seems that he still remembers his former manager.

Having said that, if he has already married a wife, it would be a different matter if his wife was dispatched diplomatically.But now, with his relationship with Mori Shinichi, he has not been able to visit his wife who just gave birth.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Iwahashi Shinichi bought a gift and sent it along with a congratulatory card.

"I heard from Chang Zisang that the child's name is Guikuan."

Wanyumi Watanabe told Shinichi Iwahashi, "I made a joke at Masako-san's place."

"What joke?"

Wanyumi Watanabe first smiled, "I have no experience, and I don't know what a baby of this month should look like. After seeing him, I felt that he was pitifully small, and I was still thinking, 'Is it okay to be so small?' In the end, Masako But Sang said that he grows fast among babies."

"It's not a joke, it's just that I don't understand." Yanqiao Shinichi replied.

Wanyumi Watanabe nodded slightly, "However, it's unbelievable when you think about it. Masako-san is also becoming a mother for the first time, right? Obviously it's the first time being a mother, so I know so much."

"Perhaps Chang Zisang was like you at first, thinking that the child was pitifully small." Yanqiao Shen thought for a while and said, "Because I was worried, I asked so many people in private to know so much."

Hearing what he said, Wanyumi Watanabe suddenly imagined a picture of a mother using her hands as a ruler to measure her sleeping baby every day.

This kind of imagination carries a certain kind of warmth, she smiled, "Shen Yi-jun's heart is too delicate."

"Have it?"

"It's not easy for ordinary people to be so considerate of others." When she said this, she was half joking, half serious and added another sentence, "No wonder the eyes of newcomers are so accurate."

"If it's a compliment, I won't accept it politely." Yanqiao Shinichi was not humble in these matters.

Watanabe Wanyumi chose the gift, and discussed with Iwahashi Shinichi to drink tea and take a break.Passing by the grocery counter, the dazzling array of things attracted Mayumi Watanabe's attention again.

Sure enough, whether it's a domineering president or a pure little white rabbit, a woman who likes such gadgets is like a dragon who likes gems.And the brave man who was supposed to walk the maze took a short fork in the road, and the brave man Iwahashi Shinichi who walked with the gem-loving dragon stopped here again, bored, and also looked at the gifts for sale inside.

In the glass cabinet, there were music boxes of various styles, and his eyes wandered around and fell on one of them.

then--

"Shinichi-kun, what did you buy?"

Mayumi Watanabe, who came out empty-handed, looked at Shinichi Iwahashi who was holding a paper bag in his hand, and asked curiously.

The dragon who liked gems didn't take anything, but the brave man was dazzled by the light of gems.Just treat it as a trophy of the brave, and take a short fork in order to eat an energy fruit.This double standard.

Forget it, anyway, the brave man has the possibility of becoming a dragon, just like buying women's clothes, you don't know whether it's a cute girl or a cute woman's boss.

Yanqiao Shenyi told her that it was a music box.

Taking a break at the coffee shop in the department store, Shin Iwahashi took the music box out of the paper bag and put it on the table.It is a common music box with a walnut outer box. After it is wound up, accompanied by music, there are girls dancing mechanical dances spinning on the mirror.

In the sound of ding ding dong dong music, looking at the girl dancing mechanically with a blank face, Watanabe Mayumi asked him, "Who did Shinichi-kun bring the gift for?"

If I bought it to play with myself, it seems that it doesn't match his appearance and usual style.

"It can be regarded as a gift for others."

"Really?" He said so, Watanabe Mayumi stopped asking.

The music stopped, Yanqiao Shinichi took the girl on the mirror and held it in his hand.

"At the store just now, I just remembered this kind of music box with girls dancing in it. It happened to be sold, so I bought it. I want to show it to Yamauchi-san who is in charge of Wink."

"Huh?" This answer was a bit different from what Watanabe Wanyumi thought.

"Look," he put the girl back again and wound up the clockwork.Amidst the music, the girl without emotion continued to dance her emotionless dance, "You haven't seen such an idol on stage, have you?"

Expressionless, without any communication with the audience, accompanied by music, dancing mechanically, if people imitate the puppets in the music box, it seems that the fresh side of being a "human" has been extracted.

"You can figure it out." Wanyumi Watanabe didn't know whether it was a compliment or something else.

Yanqiao Shinichi explained, "Those two girls are too ordinary, and I also have a headache. I have considered in every way, how to turn the ordinary into extraordinary, but unfortunately, they just lack such a kind A person’s memorable temperament or ability.”

"But on the other hand, this kind of temperament that doesn't make people remember is also good." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "It's better for the model who takes photos for the clothing catalog to highlight the clothing itself. ? In contrast, models with too strong personal style are slightly inferior."

"Hmm." Wanyumi Watanabe echoed, taking the opportunity to sort out the meaning of his words in his mind.

Shinichi Iwahashi did not come on a whim, he was inspired when he saw a music box, but after receiving the commission from Kenichi Yamauchi, watching the video of Wink's performance, and considering various conditions, he has been thinking about it.

I have a rough outline in my mind, but I still can't find the form that can be used to express it.

When I saw the music box today, I suddenly remembered the old-fashioned music box that I used to play with. As soon as I opened it, there were two girls dancing on it. Although there was only one girl dancing alone in the one I bought today, it was just like " Evidence" is nothing more than an explanatory object.

The two girls, Suzuki Sachiko and Aida Shoko, don't have a mechanical sense of restraint when facing the camera?
The two girls who left the deepest impression on Iwahashi Shinichi are that they are not coordinated enough, not professional enough, and have not yet mastered the jerky feeling at home, and this is exactly the difference between them and the real "ordinary idols" before .

If this jerky feeling is lost and it becomes the kind of sweet orthodox love shake that can easily interact with the audience on stage, then three hundred such love shakes can be found in the entertainment world.

The formality of Sachiko Suzuki and Shoko Aida would be ridiculed as unprofessional if they appeared on stage as ordinary idols, but if that formality becomes part of their characteristics, then it is another matter.

Isn't the restraint of Suzuki Sachiko and Aida Shoko just like a girl dancing in a music box?

Anyway, I can't do it, so I just don't do it well.

Passive sabotage also has the meaning of passive sabotage. It is also sabotage, and social animals will be fired. If Artiste does it, it is art.

A flash of light flashed in his mind like when a Shinigami elementary school student solves a case. This music box seems to be the most critical evidence, allowing Iwahashi Shinichi to find out the key piece of the puzzle about Wink in his heart.

Although it has not yet become a complete puzzle, but once the key parts are found, the next puzzle will be a matter of course.

"One girl dancing in a music box is not as good as two girls dancing in a music box." Makoto Iwahashi said to Mayumi Watanabe, "It's a pity that we didn't get two girls."

"This probably indirectly proves that pas de deux is more popular than solo," he joked.

Wanyumi Watanabe was supportive, she could laugh at such a cold joke, and said to him: "Anyway, as a real person, it is more appropriate for two people to make a fool of themselves on stage together than to make a fool of themselves on stage alone."

"As expected of Manyumi-san." Iwahashi Shinichi praised, "Grasp the key point at once."

"Come on less." Watanabe Wanyumi refused to listen to his flattery.

However, what she said is indeed true. If this restraint and imperfection are used as a selling point, the advantages of a duo group are much stronger than a single group.

If two people maintain that restrained and imperfect state, then the audience will be led to think that this is one of the characteristics of the group. If it is a single person, the audience is more likely to feel neglected.

When launching a newcomer or making a project, first of all, we must consider the audience's thoughts and ponder the audience's psychology.Being behind the scenes is not only the promoter, but also the audience.

Because of this, Watanabe Wanyumi has a good idea of ​​pushing newcomers because Iwahashi Shinichi is careful.

"However, just relying on the duo alone is still not able to completely substituting the audience into the idea that their combination is a special feature. For this reason, another packaging is needed."

"Additional packaging?"

"Well, I want to add a little 'unreality' to the two of them."

"It's not easy. The audience today is different from before." Wanyumi Watanabe said.

Yanqiao nodded cautiously, "That's right, that's right, times have changed."

In the early days, it was the audience who were chasing the stars and regarded the stars as unattainable idols. Until the advent of television, the big stars who could only be seen on the big screen before began to shoot commercials.

People who were out of reach in the past are now on TV, smiling kindly at the audience and introducing products to them.From then on, it was doomed that the aura of the star would dim.

Because at that moment, the audience will gradually realize that celebrities are not what they want to chase. On the contrary, celebrities need to live by pleasing the audience.

Therefore, "STAR!"Birth" was a great success, and the people of the whole country witnessed the girls from common people's homes walk into the TV and become household names.

The people around you may appear on TV later, and in this way, the star will no longer have that sense of sacredness.

"I'm really curious, how do you make that 'unreal' effect."

Watanabe Mayumi was not to be outdone, and said a joke that was so cold that it couldn't be colder, "Now, it's an era where everything is not strange, and everything is possible."

"Haha! That's a big truth." Yanqiao Shinichi was enough to cheer, and smiled happily.

He covered the music box and put it in a paper bag, "Then please look forward to it." He reached for the coffee, took a sip, and found that the coffee had turned cold while he was busy chatting.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Watanabe Mayumi replied.

The packaging techniques and various strategies that will be involved in the next step are not to be told to her, but to Yamauchi Kenichi, and to listen to his opinions.

……

Mondays are always busy, so Shinichi Iwahashi and Kenichi Yamauchi made an appointment to meet on Tuesday afternoon in the cafe opposite his office.

After exchanging pleasantries, Shin Iwashi put the paper bag on the table on the table.

Kenichi Yamauchi cast puzzled eyes, watching him take out a music box from the paper bag, with a puzzled and strange expression on his expression.

What does he mean by bringing a music box over?
"I watched the video of Suzuki-san and Aida-san's performance. Both girls are quite reserved and not natural enough." Mingming first aroused Kenichi Yamauchi's curiosity, but Shinichi Iwahashi put the music box aside and started say it.

He took the lead, and Kenichi Yamauchi, whose appetite had been whetted, could only follow his pace, and replied: "There's no way, the two of them are people who had nothing to do with the entertainment industry before, and it wasn't long before they formed a team." , still need to practice."

"But don't worry about this. The two girls are not the kind of people without talent. With practice, they will soon overcome this problem." Kenichi Yamauchi spoke for Suzuki Sachiko and Aida Shoko.

"Naturally." Iwahashi Shinichi echoed, and then asked: "So, after overcoming this problem? They will become idols with smooth movements, professional smiles, and the ability to use Wink to interact with the audience just like their group name. combination."

"Ah." Hearing what he said, Yamauchi Ken felt that there was something in his words.

"There are already many idols like this." Shinichi Iwahashi paved the way for what to say next, "To stand out, you still need something different."

"It's different."

Only then did Shinichi Iwahashi say what he had said to Mayumi Watanabe to Kenichi Yamauchi again.
