Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 396
"In this kind of selection meeting, the card to be selected is not the one with the highest points, but the one that can be combined with the cards already in hand." Wanyumi Watanabe said sternly.

"That's right." Yanqiao Shinichi thought for a moment and understood what she meant.

There is only one good card, and if you can't connect it, you won't be able to exert the power of this card.Do not choose expensive, only choose the right one.Not only Diaopai laundry detergent thinks so, but the domineering president Wanyumi Watanabe also thinks so.

"Feeling comes first." Wanyumi Watanabe expressed her views on this audition.

On this point, Iwahashi Shinichi also agreed.Whatever kind of audition you want to do, you will choose what kind of newcomer.That's why players who were eliminated by one selection meeting but won a big victory in another selection meeting abound.

Sometimes it is not necessarily because the players are not good enough to be eliminated.

In fact, if we really want to analyze it from the "feeling", it can somewhat explain why some talent shows eliminate good seedlings, but select a bunch of crooked melons and jujubes.

For example, in the "most handsome and most beautiful middle school students in the country" competition, the so-called handsome men and beautiful women who are often selected are hard to describe.Daily people question the wonderful aesthetics of the Japanese.

The reason for choosing such a result is because Japan is so ugly, or is it that global aesthetics do not work in Japan?

Apart from the reason that the top handsome men and women have been discovered by scouts, there may be another explanation, that is, the "most handsome and most beautiful" originally refers to the good-looking people among ordinary people.

This kind of beauty pageant is not a selection for entering the entertainment world, but a selection for ordinary students.Compared with the kind of handsome men and beautiful women who make people feel dreamy, the kind of ordinary people with good looks and some bright spots are more suitable for this kind of competition.

Let the ordinary students feel that the selected handsome men and beauties are by their side, and at the same time, they also have a kind of idea of ​​"I can also participate", so as to make the event more lively, and then hold it one session after another.

……

In today's final election meeting, there were seven judges present, including Wanyumi Watanabe and Shinichi Iwahashi. On the side of U-MIZ, the manager of the firm also participated, as well as the senior management of the cooperative magazine, and two industry insiders.

At the same time, there was also a videographer who was in charge of video recording. Because it was a comprehensive selection, it was not as clear-cut as the selection of singers. During the primary selection, it was also said that in the final selection, there were also small skills such as singing and dancing for the contestants. Opportunity.

It is also because it is not a competition where the champion is determined simply by looking at whether the face is cute or not, and whether the figure is good enough, but with a talent show, which is convenient for Iwahashi Shinichi to observe on the spot.

When the selection advertisement was released, it was written that the winner would get a trip to Guam as a prize, not only that, but also get the opportunity to be a magazine exclusive model and join an entertainment agency.

If you want to attract cute girls, you have to make beautiful offers-of course, this also applies to cute boys.

At [-]:[-], we arrived at the final election venue.

Before the official start, the examiners greet each other and make introductions, and communicate with each other about the upcoming final selection.Wanyumi Watanabe was in charge of this "bridge" role, introducing people from the magazine to industry insiders, and introducing Shinichi Iwahashi to other examiners, "This is Iwahashi-san from GENZO."

Shinichi Iwahashi and the inspectors greet each other.

People in the music industry also said that the people present today probably don't know what the origin of this GENZO is, nor who Iwahashi-san is.However, he walked in with Mayumi Watanabe, just knowing that is enough.

When you stand with the boss, you can get the light of the boss.

……

Yanqiao Shinichi has rich experience in selecting videotapes. He has looked through hundreds of copies so far, and can tell at a glance whether a band is suitable for TV. However, he is still a novice when watching real people in person.

Of course, during the entire selection meeting, he would not express his opinion, but just quietly observed from the sidelines.

At ten o'clock, the selection meeting officially began.

The first number one walked in, a small girl with short hair.Seeing the examiner on the opposite side and the camera set up there, he ate a small screw before introducing himself, subconsciously stuck out his tongue, and made several examiners laugh, as well as himself.

However, such a small episode, on the contrary, eased the tension, and spoke a lot more neatly.

Starting from the girl No. [-], one after another, the selected candidates walked into the venue in turn, showing themselves in front of the examiners.

While being a bystander, Yanqiao Shinichi paid attention to the temperament of the girls who came in, and listened to their singing.

The "temperament" that Shinichi Iwahashi pays attention to is probably similar to the "feeling" that Watanabe Manyumi pays attention to, but then again, cute girls may not have a good singing voice, and there are many people who have a good voice for a beautiful face .

While watching the selection meeting, Shinichi Iwahashi occasionally flashed in his mind the performance of Sachiko Kamagike who had heard that day in the audition tape.Although several days have passed, but now recalling, I still remember her voice.

A total of [-] girls came to participate in today's final election. I don't know if they can meet such a girl among the [-].

Since the tacit agreement with Wanyu Meixin Watanabe to choose a lead singer at this audition, Shinichi Iwahashi secretly looked forward to what kind of girl he would meet on this day.

As a result, before this day came, Haruko Akamatsu let him listen to Sachiko Kawachi's audition tape.Now, when the girls present showed their singing voices, when Shinichi Iwahashi made comments in his heart, he couldn't help but think of Sachiko Kamagike.

"The next one please."

Another girl left, the staff announced to the door.

A thin, medium-sized girl with shoulder-length hair came in and introduced herself to the inspectors, "I am Izumi Inamura, 19 years old, from Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture."

"Is it called 'IZUMI'?" Wanyumi Watanabe read her name again and said with a smile: "It's quite strange to use 'IZUMI' as a name."

"However, this name matches the surname very well." The magazine staff told Mayumi Watanabe.

When such a small episode happened on the examiner's side, Inamura Izumi, who brought up a small topic because of his name, stood there quietly, waiting for the next instruction.

Yanqiao Shinichi looked at this girl named Inamura Izumi with great interest.

Her appearance is not so cute, but heroic.He has a straight duck egg face, a slightly larger but graceful mouth, a straight nose bridge, and a pair of big eyes.The facial features are not perfect, but they are very attractive.

Although she was on such an occasion, she was calm and composed, and her psychological quality was quite strong.

However, compared to her appearance, Iwahashi Shinichi was more interested in her pair of quiet, somewhat elusive eyes.In addition, her temperament is quite special.

The special thing is that although the gestures are graceful, there is such a sense of unreliability.In other words, this Inamura Izumi makes people feel that they want to get close to her, but also make people feel that they can't really get close to her.

Not only Shinichi Iwahashi, but Wanyumi Watanabe was also very interested in her, and looked at her thoughtfully for a long time.

Izumi Inamura was also asked to show her singing voice, and the song she chose was "Desperate Death" (Desperate) by Momoe Yamaguchi.

The song is about a woman who gets stuck with a married man, torn between wanting to beat her partner and feeling sorry for her, getting cornered... that's pretty much it.

This song is not easy to sing, and at the audition meeting, choosing such a song that is easy to overturn instead of choosing a more flattering one can't help but make people look sideways.However, she sang this song with style and momentum.

Her somewhat unreliable, indistinct gloomy temperament, used to interpret such a song, is also interesting.

After Izumi Inamura's review was over, before the next girl came in, Wanyumi Watanabe turned her head and quickly said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "It's pretty good."

She is indeed an eye-catching girl, and Iwahashi Shinichi also thinks this girl is rare.

……

In the next audition, several beautiful and temperamental girls appeared, and there were also several girls who could sing, and there was even a girl who could sing Rebecca's singing well.

Sixty girls showed their skills. Although the scale of this audition was not as large as that of a large-scale audition, it was quite exciting.

The final results of the review meeting were not announced on the spot. After the interview, the girls who participated in the selection received the small gifts and the fare they had prepared and went back first. After the reviewers saw it on the spot, they screened out some of them on the spot, and then held a meeting to review , to determine the final winner.

There were [-] screenings, and it was getting late after all the selection meetings were over. The reviewers, together with the staff at today's venue, went to the restaurant that U-MIZ had reserved in advance.There is a box for the staff, and a box for the examiners.

Everyone communicated while eating, but on such an occasion, they would not mention the selection meeting just now.

After dinner, a sideshow of the club was also arranged.Wanyumi Watanabe, a female boss, was inconvenient to socialize with the men, so she was replaced by the manager of the firm who came with her to take charge of the next entertainment.

Shinichi Iwahashi originally came with Mayumi Watanabe, and he is not familiar with the others, so now he no longer goes to continue the stall, but stays and acts with Mayumi Watanabe, as if buying a bottle of Coke and getting one free during a promotion Bottle of Sprite.

However, it's still early, and it's not interesting to go back to each house now. Sitting in the car, Mayumi Watanabe asked him, "Do you want to find another place to sit?"

Yanqiao Shinichi guessed that she must still talk about today's selection meeting, so he agreed.

Wanyumi Watanabe gave the driver an address, and the two went to a small bar in the back street of Ginza.Wanyumi Watanabe has wine here, and it seems to be a regular customer in the store.

"You've worked hard today." Mayumi Watanabe slightly raised her glass to him.

Yanqiao Shinichi smiled, "Thanks to you, I met so many beautiful girls today."

"This statement..." Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help laughing.Qianqian took a sip of wine, and naturally brought the topic to the audition, "So, among so many beautiful girls, is there any one that impresses you?"

Iwahashi Shinichi pretended to be thinking.

Before he gave an answer, Wanyumi Watanabe asked him instead, "That girl named Izumi Inamura, isn't she pretty?" She didn't hear Iwahashi's answer at the review meeting, and she said it again now.

"It's quite special." Yanqiao Shinichi also had a deep impression on that girl.

"What's the most interesting thing about that girl? It's that she looks like a girl in this era." Mayumi Watanabe said something that was a bit awkward.

Girls in this day and age... this statement is quite interesting.

"The times are different, not only in fashion and culture, but also in the spiritual outlook of young people." Wanyumi Watanabe explained, "Izumi Inamura has a very unique temperament..."

"It's erratic and unreliable." Yanqiao Shinichi said.

Wanyumi Watanabe smiled, "That's it, very vivid. In today's era, young people spend their days wandering around, getting along with and communicating with people has become less trustworthy, and relationships are not so reliable. This This state is very interesting, it is not a barrier, but a transparent barrier. Therefore, even if people are close, the heart cannot be close."

"Hmm." Yanqiao Shinichi was thoughtful.

"That said, it's not obvious from the appearance of ordinary people, but Izumi Inamura sometimes reveals a little bit of that feeling." Mayumi Watanabe seems to appreciate Izumi Inamura quite a lot.

Yanqiao Shen smiled at her, "Is this the feeling you put first?"

"That's right." Watanabe Mayumi admitted.But the tone paused, "Appreciation is appreciation, she is not suitable to be the winner this time." Watanabe Mayumi mentioned this, "The style of "KIRAKIRA" does not match her very well, and it is not good to debut there. .”

Yanqiao Shen nodded while listening, "It's different to say whether she wins or not. When she sings, she really catches people's eyes, and she is quite energetic."

"Girls who sang "Beauty and Death" at the audition are rare enough." Watanabe Mayumi smiled.

"That's true." Yanqiao Shinichi also smiled, and asked her, "Afterwards, give me a copy of the video tapes of the girls I circled, okay?"

"Of course." Watanabe Wanyumi agreed, and said a witty casually, "The final election of the final election."

Shinichi Iwahashi made a funny gesture that something dropped, "Don't make fun of me, a poor producer who can't find the lead singer everywhere."

"If you are a poor producer, then I am a small shopkeeper who can't open a shop." Watanabe Mayumi was able to handle it with ease.

Hearing what she said, Yanqiao Shinichi laughed hard, "As expected of Manyumi-san."

As soon as these words were said, the tacit understanding between the two of them on this matter was also clear.

"However," Watanabe Wanyumi wanted to say something for Haruko Akamatsu, and asked him, "You, the producer, find the lead singer yourself, Haruko, you really don't plan to let her leave GENZO, do you?"

Yanqiao Shenyi shook his head, "In fact, she has completed the task."

In terms of finding a new lead singer alone, the performance of Sachiko Puchi is really eye-catching.Haruko Akamatsu was able to bring such a person to the recording studio, and Shinichi Iwahashi recognized her vision, and stopped holding on to the matter of asking her to find a lead singer by herself.

Watanabe Mayumi was aroused curiosity, "You mean, Haruko found the lead singer?"

　Thank you for the leader of the book friend "Forever Boy".

　　Tomorrow is 2020, happy new year.
