Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 996
The era of idols is coming to an end, but the profession of idols will not disappear.After regrouping, it will definitely make a comeback in a brand new form.

Not only that.Although the idol era is over, the experience accumulated in the idol era can still be used to make singers and bands.For example, the band's performance stage can be as gorgeous as an idol, not just the members playing instruments on the stage.Similarly, solo singers can also be cultivated as idols.

Unlike the female idol market where a hundred flowers are blooming, male idols have been monopolized by Johnny.Although Zhou Fang Yuxiong's BURNING also set foot in the male idol market, and poached Johnny's number one Go Hiromi at that time, but Johnny immediately recovered, and only got the BURNING of Go Hiromi, in the male idol market, it is still the same. He could only drink some soup after Janice.

People like Zhou Fang Yuxiong, who are used to picking peaches, can't get a bargain, and they don't want to die in the male idol market.

But Johnny was different.This firm is based on making idols and taking the idol business as its foundation.In Japan, when it comes to male idols, it's Johnny.Even among the general public, "Jennis type" is used to describe a handsome guy with a handsome appearance.

Of course, people's tastes cannot be generalized as to whether they are handsome or not.

But no matter what, for Kitagawa Hiroshi, once he gives up making idols, it means that the Johnny he created will no longer exist.

Female idols are coming to an end, and agencies that originally relied on female idols will turn to other types of artists or participate in other businesses.Small firms that cannot be transformed may go bankrupt.

But for Johnny's, no matter where the idol market will go next, Kitagawa Hiroshi will definitely try to find a way to make his male idol popular again, and expand a new idol form.

When the era of bands came, Kitagawa asked Shinichi Iwahashi to cooperate to produce an "idol band", which was his attempt.

Just because of the cooperation with Kitagawa Hiro, knowing that this old man will definitely make his idol unswervingly, Shinichi Iwahashi will naturally think about how the Johnny's market should be reopened after the end of the idol era.

Yanqiao Shinichi has no intention of mixing with female idols, and to be precise, he also has no intention of mixing with male idols.He just wanted to mix in "Jennis."

This year, Kitagawa Hiroshi's high hopes for SMAP's debut has been cold, which will definitely speed up Kitagawa Hiroshi's pursuit of change.The reason why it is so sure is that Johnny is different from other idols.Before their JR debut, they have often followed their predecessors many times, participated in many large and small magazine shoots, and even have loyal office fans.

It is said that he is a newcomer who has not debuted, but he has obtained more media resources than the little idols who have already debuted in other agencies.But even so, SMAP's results were dismal.This either means that SMAP has no fans, or that, except for Johnny's loyal fans, the general public is dismissive of this group and has no interest in even taking a look.

But no matter what it is, whether this carefully cultivated group cannot attract its own fans, or the general public has lost interest in Johnny's new group, the failure of SMAP has confirmed the end of the idol era. The fact that Johnny can do nothing about it.

When SMAP's debut failed, Iwahashi Shinichi was ready to start making that idol band.

As for Shinichi Iwahashi's plan, when it comes to production preparations, GENZO will send Mitomo Iijima as his representative to deal with the people from Johnny's side.

Sanchi Iijima is good at dealing with people. At the same time, she has also participated in the production team of singers and bands, and has experience in making bands.In addition, she is also a person from Sakai Zhengli Office.

Sending Mitomo Iijima to deal with Johnny, there is certainly a reason why Kitagawa Hiroshi and Sakai Masatoshi have a good personal relationship, but this reason is only a negligible point.The real reason is that this identity conveys a message from the outside world: she was not cultivated by Shinichi Iwahashi himself.

GENZO sent such a representative, and it was easy to win the trust of Kitagawa Hiroshi.

In the field of male idols, Shinichi Iwahashi has no intention of personally getting involved, nor does he intend to challenge Johnny’s monopoly position—anyway, the Japanese’s aesthetics of male idols has been stereotyped as Johnny’s, and he doesn’t think he can do it Turn the audience's aesthetics of male idols to another direction.

Besides, doing this is thankless, meaningless, and even less necessary.

In contrast, it is more practical to have a good relationship with Johnny.On the one hand, through the exchange of interests, they can get the media resources from Kitagawa Hiroshi.On the other hand, it is a long-term plan in the plan.By cooperating with Johnny, find an opportunity to infiltrate Johnny.

Shinichi Iwahashi also thought at first that Johnny is a piece of iron that cannot be splashed with water.However, Marie Kitagawa was eager to support Keiko Fujishima to participate in the company's affairs, and after the failure of the Heike school, she took the initiative to let Keiko Fujishima leave the office and join the TV station... After this happened, Shinichi Iwahashi changed his mind.

Kitagawa Hiroshi handed over the Heike faction to Keiko Fujishima, rather than saying that she had already seen that she would fail, and took the opportunity to beat their mother and daughter.The team that was taken to defend Kondo Masahiko was a victim of the firm's struggle from beginning to end.

Keiko Fujishima is indeed the unshakable heir on the stage, as long as Marie Kitagawa is escorted to ensure that her wily younger brother will not change his mind.However, after that period of turmoil, the power transition of this firm may not be as smooth as the outside world imagined.

As long as it is not smooth sailing, there may be any small twists and turns in the middle, and the opportunity may be there.Yanqiao Shinichi didn't have too much ambition, nor did he have any bad intentions, he just wanted to cooperate more closely with Johnny, so as to have more opportunities.

Previously, when Iwahashi Shinichi went to meet Kitagawa Ko, Iijima Mitomo went with him many times as a driver.It was Yanqiao Shinichi's unintentional move at first, but as the number of times increased, he deliberately let her participate in the work of dealing with Johnny in the future.

After all, Santomo Iijima's conditions in all aspects are very suitable for dealing with Johnny.

If the first cooperation with Genzo can achieve satisfactory results, then, with Kitagawa Hiroshi's consistent style, he will continue to cooperate with GENZO in the future.Of course, Shinichi Iwahashi also hopes to take this first cooperation as an opportunity to continue dealing with Johnny and prepare for this future.

This set of preparations, naturally, also includes training Iijima Sanzhi.

On the way to see the performance of DREAMS COME TRUE, Iwahashi Shinichi told Santomo Iijima about the possible future production direction of male idols, "Traditional idols no longer exist. Next, if we want to make idols To revitalize this profession, we must do things that idols cannot do.”

"It's not something idols can do." Sanchi Iijima listened carefully.

According to this statement, isn't the future direction of idol production just to redefine the profession of idol?On the way to send Iwahashi Shinichi to the performance, Iijima Santomo kept paying attention to the road conditions, and the words Iwahashi Shinichi said echoed in his heart from time to time.

……

Considering that DREAMS COME TRUE is now so popular that it is hard to get a ticket for a concert with a scale of 5 people, the audience who can join the small venue where the band performed tonight can also be called lucky.

Shinichi Iwahashi did what he said, occupying a good seat in the front row, waiting for the band to perform on stage.In retrospect, it seemed like it was the first time, as a spectator of DREAMS COME TRUE, to stand in the audience in this capacity.

A small stage is right in front of you, and you can stand on it just by taking a big step forward.But tonight, he is the audience of the band, and Mihe-chan and Nakamura are the singers performing for him and audiences like him.

A crude stage with no tricks, when the time comes, Miwa-chan and Nakamura-san appear on stage on time.Kurosawa Kenichi and Kurosawa Hideki, who were signed by Iwahashi Shinichi to the production company, these two brothers will be guest musicians of the band tonight.

As soon as the members stood on the stage, the small space erupted into cheers that could blow over the roof.The cheers of tens of thousands of people in a large venue are shocking, but the cheers in a small venue are more real and warm.

Miwa-chan and Nakamura-san both had smiling faces, facing the audience contentedly.Kurosawa Kenichi and Kurosawa Hideki, two always shy boys, standing on the stage of DREAME COME TRUE, couldn't help smiling——

However, when he saw Shinichi Iwahashi standing in the front row, Kurosawa Hideki lowered his eyelids as if startled.This appearance seems to be a student who was caught by the teacher when he was mischievous.

The show has begun.

Leaving the gorgeous stage, leaving the wide stage, returning to this small world, facing the audience who can clearly see the expressions on their faces, a special performance on Christmas Eve .

Shinichi Yanqiao stood at the front where he could see every detail on the stage, watching the band's performance, and knew in his heart that from the moment the band stood on the stage, his teammates on the stage must have seen him too .Although I can't be a teammate fighting side by side tonight, standing on stage with the band.But as a supporter of the band, he can cheer for the band in the audience.

Shinichi Iwahashi, along with the audience on the left and right, raised his hands in support of DREAMS COME TRUE.

Compared with the previous year, Meihejiang's live performance skills have improved again.This year's six-month theme tour has made her more mature in all aspects on stage, almost impeccable.

When Shinichi Iwahashi stood on the same stage as Miwa-chan, he could already feel her progress.But it is better than standing in the audience, the place closest to her, watching her hearty performance, even in a small venue with hundreds of people, she still goes all out to understand this point.

DREAMS COME TRUE, dreams come true.

Yanqiao Shinichi stood under the stage, watching the band performing on stage.Meihejiang's whole body was shining, it was not only the sweat on her face, but also the radiance of herself.

At the beginning, the bold words I made to let her music be heard by everyone have come true.But on the other hand, it is because Miwa-chan has such a huge talent that he was able to make this dream come true.

On the way to realize his dream, he realized Mihe-chan's dream, and Mihe-chan also fulfilled his dream.

Tonight, the band sang the songs they performed at LIVEHOUSE before their debut, and also sang the band's hit songs and songs from their new album released this year...

And on this Christmas Eve, the most appropriate song.

The encore session, the last song, is "Snow Christmas".

……

After the performance, Iwahashi Shinichi went backstage.Under his witness, Fengdao distributed the prepared red envelopes to the staff tonight, and invited them to have something to eat as usual.Two brothers Kurosawa Kenichi and Kurosawa Hideki who came to help as accompaniment musicians, Iwahashi Shinichi also gave them red envelopes.

The two brothers have been working as studio musicians and touring crews, and they don't have much money.It can be regarded as a subsidy for the two brothers by giving red envelopes to the accompaniment musicians.

Mihe-chan wiped her face and neck carelessly with a towel to wipe off the sweat.The hair on the forehead was wet, and the whole face was so red that it seemed to be steaming.

Seeing Yanqiao Shinichi approaching, she raised her arm and waved to greet him.But when he opened his mouth, he began to irritate people again, "Shen Yi-jun's movements when he came to the rescue looked really stiff. He looked reluctant."

"..." Yanqiao Shenyi made her laugh angrily, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come to the show."

This remark fell into Meihejiang's trick again, and she continued, "I know, Shenyi-kun is really reluctant to come." Having said that, seeing Yanqiao Shenyi ignoring her, it was still a mistake in the end, walked over, and put She moved her face closer to him, looking at him innocently.

"What are you doing?" Yanqiao Shen stepped back.

Meihejiang blinked and continued to act innocent, as if she had made up her mind to see who would lose first.

It was Iwahashi Shinichi who conceded first, "The show was wonderful. Sure enough, it would be better to come and see it." He said truthfully.Mihe-chan grinned, "This is DREAMS COME TRUE's special Christmas performance, of course we have to watch it!"

She was boastful.However, it is true.

Mihe-chan herself knew that she was wrong, and Shinichi Yanqiao gave a step, and immediately came down, laughing and chatting about the arrangements for Christmas Eve.As for the matter of turning upside down when we met just now, she automatically turned the page.

Yanqiao Shenyi had nothing to do with this idiot, so in order not to be mad at him, he had no choice but to ignore it.

For the performance on Christmas Eve, there is no customary dinner after the end.

After receiving the red envelopes, everyone dispersed.Mihe-chan talked about the arrangements for Christmas Eve, but finally brought the topic to Iwahashi Shinichi, "In short, I wish you a LOVELOVE Christmas Eve!"

Finally heard a good word, Yanqiao Shinichi was easy to be satisfied, and agreed, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, please feel free to show your skills." Meihechan replied.

No matter how you hear it, it feels weird.

Yanqiao Shinichi decided not to argue with her.

"Well, before we say goodbye—"

Miwa-chan looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, then at Brother Nakamura.After hugging Nakamura-san, he extended his arms to Iwahashi Shinichi.
