Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 46 046. Snow White
After completing the handover with Matsumoto Akiko's manager, in the small conference room inside the office, Iwahashi Shinichi and Matsumoto Akiko completed their first meeting.

"Hello Matsumoto-san, I'm your new manager, Shinichi Iwahashi."

When he came to work at the serious company, Iwahashi Shinichi also put on a suit, tie, and briefcase, dressed like an ordinary office worker.

The image has changed so much, it's like shouting about a revolution, throwing the declaration aside when approaching graduation, and dressing like a dog who sneaks into a big company to work as a student boy.

"Hello, I'm Matsumoto Akiko."

Akiko Matsumoto returned a salute to him, looked at him a little, and said a little heartlessly: "You're so young." As soon as he finished speaking, he probably felt a little rude and stuck his tongue out.

The first impression made Iwahashi Shinichi feel that if she hadn't known in advance, it would be hard to imagine that she was an idol.

However, a little rash or lively behavior also has a sense of not being difficult to get along with.As an agent, no matter if you bring a big name or a street, you will get along with each other day and night. Artists with too difficult personalities will inevitably make people murmur in their hearts.

"Then, Matsumoto-san will leave it to you, Iwahashi." Matsumoto Akiko's agent said.

"Yes." Iwahashi Shinichi responded.

For the artists produced by Watanabe, the frequency of manager rotation is very fast, and it is rare that one manager follows the same artist for many years without changing.For example, Guan Cun has been with Bu Shiming for three years, which is already a long time.

And just three years after Akiko Matsumoto debuted, Iwahashi Shinichi is already her third agent.

Her first agent was the senior agent who once brought Rumiko Koyanagi and Chen Meiling - Teresa Teng and Chen Meiling, the two Chinese lights, who signed Watanabe when they attacked Japan.

In the second year, Matsumoto Akiko's agent, who is now handed over, is the backbone agent who has been in the company for four years.

And now, the one who has become her third agent is a newcomer who has just joined the agency.

Wang Xiaoer's Chinese New Year——

Forget it, it doesn't make sense to say it all.

In 1983, Matsumoto Akiko released the debut single "♂♀KISS", the title of the song has a taste of the street, and the final result is also very bright (flash) eye (street), not in the top [-] of the list, As the champion of the talent show, it is as bad and miserable as Duan Linxi.

I'm afraid not many people know that the last champion of Super Girl is Duan Linxi.

By the way, the composer who provided this debut single is Jiri Goto, and now he and Akimoto Yasushi are in trouble (crossed out), working together for a win-win situation, and serving as the queen composer of the kitten club that has become a social phenomenon.

This gentleman does not look bad, and he has some talents. He also makes confessions to idols all day long, and is known as IDOL KILLER's "beautiful name".

I thought that signing a champion was made by Watanabe, who picked up a treasure, but I let her be a bit of a jerk first.However, it can also be felt that Watanabe's sense of market popularity is no longer what it used to be.

To be precise, in terms of making idols, Watanabe Productions is not as good as his own apprentices.

In the early 70s, as one of the "New Three Mistresses", Tianji Zhenzhen was produced by Watanabe.The pure idol whose debut slogan is "Snow White", has experienced great popularity as expected, and is the most popular female SOLO before Momoe Yamaguchi. The concept of pro-guard and playing CALL all started from her fans.

However, after becoming popular, the truth of heaven and earth soon became exhausted.

Although external shocks cannot be ignored, Watanabe also bears considerable responsibility for making wrong plans.The positioning of Tiandizhen's fan base is too young, which makes her transformation difficult. After Tiandizhen became popular, she kept singing the same songs repeatedly, which consumed the public's freshness.

Of course, the psychological quality of the truth of heaven and earth itself is not good enough, and it is difficult to adapt to the sudden gap, and psychological problems are also one of the important reasons.

As a result, in 1983, it disappeared after the release of the last single "I Am Snow White".Of course, before this single, the public had forgotten her.

However, in 1985, just two years later, the name of the truth of heaven and earth became the center of the topic again, although it was not a good word.She went to the sea to make a pink movie that showed **.

Pink movies have a long history in RB, and there are many good works among them.

But who is the truth of heaven and earth?It is an idol who debuted under the banner of "Snow White as pure as a princess".

The impact she brought to the public by going to sea is far from being comparable to that of the pawns in later generations who claim to be "a former graduate student of the 59 Group".Even if she just made a pink movie and didn't shoot a real gun.

Likewise, the side effects are also strong.

Is this the virtue of the idol who claims to be pure and unblemished?The public's skepticism of this dream career deepened.

In the year Tenjima was out, Watanabe Productions signed "STAR!Akiko Matsumoto, the champion of "Birth", hopes to win another popular idol and get a share in this idol era.

As a result, after experiencing the fiasco of the debut single, the record company continued to release, and Akiko Matsumoto continued to make persistent efforts. Since his official debut in 1983, in two years, he has released one and one, and his idol career has not improved.

In the nearly 20 years since the word "idol" was first used by NHK, there have been no less than 1000 idols who have never been popular.

In this era of new idols debuting almost every week, Akiko Matsumoto, who has not been popular so far, is a flower that withered before it opened.

Watanabe Productions is not a charity organization, and has lost patience with idols who are not popular.Now Akiko Matsumoto is facing a somewhat embarrassing dilemma.

Either the contract expires and they go back to their hometown, or they find a way to turn around.

The professional world has always been cruel, but even so, in all the cruel professional worlds, the cruelty of the entertainment industry ranks first.

Although it has not become popular, but relying on the current era is good, it is the golden age of idols, whether on TV or outside TV, all kinds of singing programs or activities get together. He came out with names like "Former "STAR! Birth" champion" and "83 IDOL", so he wouldn't lose his job.

However, "the fame of the former "STAR! Birth" champion brought her a little bit of topicality, but it also became a heavy shackle to her.

Especially in the RB entertainment industry, there is a "good" tradition of destroying the self-esteem of others for fun, as well as the indifference of worshipping highs and stepping on lows.

I heard that in the entertainment industry, rookie managers are more compatible with unknown little idols - just kidding.

But there is no doubt that a street artist must have a strong heart, and being an agent for a street artist also needs a strong heart.

　Before I searched for "Super Girl Champion", I didn't know Duan Linxi was the last champion.
