Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 69 069. Really Interesting

"We Are Funny" is a Kanban variety show on Fuji TV. On the evening of April [-], millions of viewers witnessed Akiko Matsumoto's debut on the show.

Using the so-called "idol of idols", the champion who came out of the program that gave birth to the "IDOL" profession, to make fun of the current idol era, in the eyes of the audience, it is more interesting than the imitation of comedians.

In addition, I also felt a little secret pleasure.

The idol era has developed to the present, and the substance has begun to enter a saturated state. The evidence is that in the past two years, no real phenomenon-level idols have appeared.

From Yamaguchi Baihui to PINKLADY, Matsuda Seiko to Nakamori Akina, when the momentum of the front wave declines a little, there must be a strong back wave to turn up, but now, there are popular idols, although Matsumoto Akiko's 83 groups did not perform well, the later 84 The group and the 85 group are all outstanding, but none of them can reach the level of their predecessors.

Just like Okada Yukiko was forced to almost collapse and could not be the successor of Matsuda Seiko, because the market itself is also changing.

Up to now, there are all kinds of idol categories, orthodox, generous to be their own, and more wearing masks.

The profession of idol makes people yearn for and long for, but also makes people imagine.And when there is a surplus of good parts in their bodies, and at the same time they begin to expose their shortcomings, and after confirming that "Idols are not perfect", the public who began to doubt this profession, the hidden malice in their hearts began to emerge, and they wanted to tear off the masks of idols come and see.

The plan that Iwahashi Shinichi came up with just satisfied this hidden malice and turned it into pleasure.

As soon as the skit ended, the TV station began to receive calls from the audience, some inquiring about Akiko Matsumoto's intelligence, some praising her for being very interesting, and of course, there were also many critics.

Since his debut, Akiko Matsumoto has participated in hundreds of thousands of TV shows, large and small, but the last time there was such popularity was "STAR!When "Birth" won the championship.In any case, if you are in the entertainment industry, you are not afraid of being scolded, but you are afraid that no one will care about it, and the topic will become popular, and this name will re-enter the public's attention.

According to the ratings statistics the next day, Matsumoto Akiko participated in this episode, the average rating was 26.5%, which is a normal level for the prime variety shows in the golden age of TV.

Among them, the episode in which Akiko Matsumoto appeared had the highest ratings of 27.3%, and won the second highest ratings in this episode, making it a perfect pass.As soon as this data came out, the TV station was quite satisfied, and Watanabe Productions was also relieved.

The first shot went well, and the three parties are also full of energy for the production of the next few issues.

The good effect after the first episode of the short play was broadcast also gave Iwahashi Shinichi a sense of presence.I used to be an ordinary newbie, but now my rank is a little higher, and it has become a somewhat interesting newbie. Not only that, but I also got some small benefits.

As a reward for his victory in the first battle, Iwahashi Shinichi received the first bonus since he joined the company.This bonus is also interesting. It was personally handed over to him by Watanabe Wanyumi, the backer who fully supported him with the explosive pack.

Watanabe Productions has a tradition that has been around since its inception and has continued to this day.When the artists under the banner receive their salary every month, the president personally hand over the money to them.At the beginning, they did that because the office was poor and poor, and the Watanabe Jin and his wife relied on this to win people over, and it has continued since then.

But he is a new agent, so he doesn't need the second lady of the firm to give him a bonus.That being said, Shinichi Iwahashi, who saw the money with open eyes, didn't care who took the money from.

Even if he cares—he is a small agent, he is not qualified to compete with the second lady of the firm.

In the face of absolute strength, any cleverness is useless.Because of this, it was calm.

Watanabe Wan Yumi is affiliated with the first production department. Usually Iwahashi Shin once returns to the office for a meeting, but he sees her every now and then, but it is only the second time to speak alone like this.

"Iwahashi-san, the project is off to a good start, congratulations." Watanabe Wanyumi said.

Iwahashi Shinichi said honestly, "Thank you. However, this is just the beginning. What will happen next, as well as Matsumoto-san's follow-up route planning, these are all issues that need to be adjusted. So, take the reward now and accept it a little bit. Ashamed."

"It doesn't matter, a good start is half the battle." Watanabe Wan Yumi was quite satisfied with his unassuming attitude.

Just 20 years old, it is very valuable for a newcomer to have such a stable mentality soon after joining the company.Although Wanyumi Watanabe evaluated Shinichi Iwahashi in her heart, she was actually only three or four years older than him.

But after all, the starting point is different. She has been fascinated by her father since she was a child. She has been involved in the operation of the firm since college. Although she is young, she can be called a veteran.

"So, what do Iwahashi-san think about the follow-up?"

"For the long-term consideration, I still have to go the artist route. Matsumoto-san has a very interesting personality, and he can let go, and his response to the stalk is also good. Going to perform a short drama is also an announcement that our Matsumoto-san variety show has been lifted.

Right now, idol status is a selling point that she can consume for a while, and she must seize this point first to attract attention.Only by increasing job opportunities can we re-establish a standing image on top of this identity.For this, the support of the firm is also required. "

"If you see results, of course you can't let go of the popularity that has only gotten up after a long time." Watanabe Wan Yumi said, "The office will not, and neither will the TV station."

This is true.

"There is one more thing." Iwahashi pondered for a while, and then said, "I have something to add about this plan."

"Please speak and listen."

"I think, in the next few episodes, whether it is possible to negotiate with the production team to collect the audience's feedback on the short drama, select interesting ones from it, and write it into the short drama script to be recorded later, and invite the audience to participate."

First, I tore off the idol's mask to show the audience, and now I just take the audience to start tearing it off together. I feel full of participation and full of bad intentions.

Watanabe Manyumi looked at Iwahashi Shinichi as if she had discovered something.

Yanqiao Shen saw her reaction and asked carefully, "I'm sorry, did I make a bad suggestion?"

"Compared to good or bad..." Watanabe Wan Yumi asked him in turn, "Iwahashi-san doesn't like idols?"

"This, compared to like or dislike..." Iwahashi Shin said, only to realize that he had accidentally imitated the sentence she just said, and his tone stopped.

Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled slightly, indicating that she didn't care.

He continued, "I'm just thinking about how to make the effect better and impress the audience more within the scope of my ability, and then open up the current situation without selfishness."

"really interesting."

After listening to his words carefully, Watanabe Wan Yumi said, "This is something only a worthless little person can do."

This is the term for a worthless little person.

Iwahashi Shinichi was stunned for a moment, the words seemed a little familiar—the words he said when he was arguing with the person in charge.
