Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 303 The Vitality Girl's New Song

Hanyu Hideki didn't know that the person he saw out of the corner of his eye was Noriko Sakai, known as the last orthodox idol of Neon.

Because by the time he finished his lunch and left the restaurant, Noriko Sakai had already left with his stepmother.

Hideki Hanyu, completely unaware, wandered around Fukuoka all afternoon, bought some local specialties, and then returned to the hotel.

The next day, he continued his autograph session.

Meanwhile, far away in Tokyo.

The first episode of "Kitten Club" has officially started recording.

After being brokered by Koichi Koichi, and agreeing to cooperate with Cloud Satellite TV on derivative programs, "Kitten Club" finally fell into the hands of Fuji TV like another time and space.

But this time, in order to avoid being "carved up" by the TV station's high-level executives, in order to avoid what happened in the previous life.

Under the advice of Hideki Hanyu, Fujidai got very little rights in the production process.

The entire production process is almost completely taken over by Yunshang Entertainment.

Even the recording of the program was not carried out at the venue of Fuji TV.

Instead, they borrowed a newly renovated studio from Cloud Satellite TV.

The property that Hideki Hanyu leased to Cloud Satellite TV was originally an overseas logistics base.

There are many warehouses, large and small, all of which have been transformed into studios.

"The Kitten Club" used the innermost room, one of the smallest studios.

Thanks to the efforts of the staff of Yun Shang Pictures, the studio has been set up according to Yasushi Akimoto's requirements.

When Yasushi Akimoto walked into the studio with his staff, he saw that the scene was very simple.

At the end of the stage, there is a place for the assistant hosts, that is, the members of the Kitten Club.

The subsequent chorus will also start here.

The stage in the middle and the two sides are where members of the Kitten Club play games and perform.

In front of the stage are the auditorium and judges' seats.

After the members perform on stage, they will be scored by the judges on the spot.

After watching the stage, I found that there was no problem.

Yasushi Akimoto began to direct the staff to prepare for the recording.

"Test the recording device."

"The cameraman checks the camera position one last time!"

"Script! Are you familiar with the host's script? Where is the broadcast writer!"

"Check the kitten members who participated in the first episode of the show, no one is allowed to wear makeup, and no jewelry is allowed!"

"Why? Idiot, what I want is the feeling of an amateur high school student!"

While commanding the staff, Akimoto Yasushi turned his head and glanced at the auditorium, only to find that it was still empty.

Then he hurriedly stopped the stage manager and asked, "Where's the audience? Where's the audience I asked you to arrange?"

Naturally, it is impossible to have any fans in the first episode of the program recording.

Therefore, the audience at the scene were all extras recruited by Yun Shang Pictures.

"President Akimoto, I'll go and see right away."

The scene manager hurriedly ran out of the studio, and came back after a while.

"It's all here, it's outside."

Akimoto Yasushi had a strange expression when he saw the manager talking, so he asked directly, "Why don't you come in since you're here."

"They're waiting at the door of the studio next door."

"The studio next door? Why wait there."

"that……"

The field affairs faltered.

Akimoto Yasushi didn't want to lose his temper, so he went out to see what happened in person.

As a result, as soon as he walked to the door of the Gobi studio, he found that there were not only the audience they had hired, but also many staff members with signs.

It was different from the small studio they used.

At this time, the studio that was watched by everyone was the largest studio in the entire cloud satellite TV.

The area is huge, so there are dozens of people around the entrance to watch the excitement, and it is not crowded.

Qiu Yuanyasu wondered what was going on inside, so many people surrounded him.

He walked forward curiously.

Before the people arrived, they heard faint singing.

To shine in the dark.

It can turn into starlight.

……

Starlight shining all over the sky.

will light your way forward
……

It's you, it's you.

Brings a smile to my face.

……

When he walked to the door, he found that the program was not being recorded inside.

Appears to be recording a music video.

Three girls in high school uniforms are on the set, singing and dancing to the music.

Not others.

It is Asia's super first-line group 'Vitality Girls Group'.

"Akimoto-san, why are you here?"

Akimoto Yasushi heard someone talking to him, turned his head and found that it was Goto Tsori, the music director he invited to "Kitten Club".

"Goto-san came earlier than me, is Genki Girl going to release a new album?" Akimoto Yasushi asked.

"Just now I met a friend of Yunshang Music. He said that it was not a new record, but a promotional video for the theme song of the movie starring Akina Nakamori." Goto Tsori replied.

"Akina Nakamori's movie theme song is actually sung by a girl with vitality. It seems that Yunying Art has great ambitions for this movie."

Akimoto Yasushi exclaimed.

Starring Akina Nakamori, Genki Girl sang the theme song.

Considering the influence of Vitality Girls throughout Asia.

Obviously, Yunshang Entertainment's expectations for this movie are not limited to the neon home market.

I just want to use Vitality Girl's popularity to help promote the movie throughout Asia.

"The song is called 'If You Can Shine', it sounds good."

"It's very good. It's very different from the current style. It has a very avant-garde feeling."

"That's for sure. This is a song written by Chairman Hanyu. When has his song been worse?"

"It was actually written by Hanyu-san, which is really rare."

"Yeah, he seldom writes songs now."

Goto Tsori sighed, and then asked Yasushi Akimoto, "When will Chairman Hanyu come back? Will he participate in our program?"

"He is doing a signing event. As for the show, he probably won't be involved."

"That's such a pity, I haven't seen President Hanyu for a long time."

A look of disappointment flashed in Goto Tsori's eyes.

Yasushi Akimoto, who was originally not as good as him, became a member of the Yunshang Clan by virtue of his relationship with Hideki Hanyu.

He even registered an office and became the president at once.

It is of course impossible to say that Goto Tsori is not envious and jealous.

Goto Tsori also wants to climb up to the big guy Hanyu Hideki, and then go one step further.

As long as Hanyu Hideki participates in the program, he will have the opportunity to perform.

But if Hideki Hanyu didn't come, it would be too difficult for a person of his level to get in touch with Hideki Hanyu.

"Don't watch Goto-san, it's time to prepare our show."

"Akimoto-san is right, our program is still important."

Yasushi Akimoto brought Goto Tsori back, and asked the field manager to call back all the onlookers.

After a little preparation, the recording of the first phase began.

You must know that after discussing with Fuji TV, "Kitten Club" is not broadcast once a week.

Instead, it will be broadcast every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 05:30 in the afternoon.

The production pressure was quite high, but Akimoto Yasushi did not dare to be sloppy at all.

In fact, Akimoto Yasushi didn't know that in another time and space, "The Kitten Club" was broadcast five days a week from Monday to Friday.

Hanyu Hideki thought about it, and finally reduced it to three days.

Broadcasting five days a week, the production cycle is tight, and it will inevitably be very rough.

The production of the kitten in the previous life also proved this point.

The most important thing is that too frequent broadcasts will quickly make the audience fatigued.

Another time and space "Kitten Club" quickly cools down, which has something to do with this.

And Koichi Koichi's proposal for a derivative program of "Kitten Club".

Hideki Hanyu felt that it was entirely possible to wait for the popularity of "Kitten Club" to rise and intersperse some daily derivative programs on the satellite channel.

For example, the daily life of the kitten club members, outdoor entertainment and so on.

It can not only maintain the popularity of the program, but also maintain the popularity of the program.

Most importantly, it can help satellite channels increase subscribers.

In this way, the recording of "The Kitten Club" started in an orderly manner.

And Hideki Hanyu's autograph session was also after the trip to Fukuoka.

Came to the last stop Tokyo.

As the last stop, it is also his largest book sales market.

The signing in Tokyo is naturally more special than in other cities.

Signing will be held not two, but four.

After going out for half a month, the news heat caused by his worth has almost dissipated.

Even the news of Seiko Matsuda's marriage is hard to see in the media.

There is never a shortage of new things in this world.

The recent entertainment news is all about one thing.

That is, after more than two months of airing, "Boys Over Flowers" finally ushered in the finale of the first season.

The domineering and dedicated Daoming Sisi.

The gentle and handsome Hanazawa.

Makino Shancai hovering between them.

Although the first season only has ten short episodes.

But the charm of F4, the love between the rich boy and Cinderella, I don't know how many drama fans can't stop.

Even the last episode failed to explain the ending.

However, under the crazy pursuit of drama fans, it created the highest ratings of more than 20.00%.

This is a miracle in the highly competitive prime time.

After all, it's not the 90s yet, when the ratings of prime-time hit TV dramas just broke [-].

Now that it can reach 20.00%, it can be called a big fire.

TV dramas are so popular, one can imagine how popular the actors who play TV dramas are.

Especially F4.

After the TV series ended, Yunshang Entertainment immediately joined forces with Yunshang Music to hold a concert for them at the Budokan.

The scale of ten thousand people, and it's not even one game.

Instead, it played three games in a row.

After the concert tickets went on sale, they were all sold out in just two days.

Before the concert, Yunshang Arts also formally formed an official support club for them.

Within three days of its establishment, the number of F4 support clubs exceeded 20.

Although Yunshang Arts has repeatedly emphasized.

F4 is an actor-limited combination.

It can be seen that such a popular posture is even more exaggerated than the most popular idol.

Even when Hideki Hanyu held the first signing event in Shinjuku, he saw fans paying for F4 to hang large posters on the outdoor billboards of many buildings.

That night, he received a call from Santomo Iijima.

Mitomo Iijima asked Hideki Hanyu that the limited time of F4 could be longer.

The reason is simple, these four people are too hot.

It's also very profitable.

"Mr. Hanyu, two months after their debut, the four of them have created at least 40 billion yen in sales for Yunshang Entertainment."

Iijima Sanchi emphasized on the phone.

Hanyu Hideki heard this, and thought, no wonder Santomo Iijima wanted to extend the time limit.

This speed of making money is only slightly worse than that of Vitality Girl.

Even Akina Nakamori can't compare.

"Iijima-san can decide for himself." Hideki Hanyu did not object.

The limited combination was mentioned at the beginning, but it was just for a gimmick.

So many combinations in later generations have broken up and combined, and combined and scattered.

The reason is actually very simple.

As long as it can make money, the combination can persist.

When the day doesn't make any money, even if they don't want to break up, they will tear it down.

After finishing the call with Santomo Iijima, Hideki Hanyu didn't take this matter to heart.

In fact, in his opinion, the popularity of F4 is "false fire", which is completely due to the benefits of TV dramas.

If there is no follow-up work to stabilize the popularity, TV dramas alone will not last long.

But for Yunshang Entertainment, taking advantage of their high popularity, they can naturally earn a little more.

According to media reports, "Boys Over Flowers" performed very well throughout East Asia.

It is estimated that when the neon is done, the next four people should go overseas to make money.

Then it is to continue to release records and make sequels to "Boys Over Flowers".

The benefits of the "Boys Over Flowers" series must be squeezed out.

But after the TV series became popular.

The actors, Yunshang Entertainment, and Fuji TV are not the only ones who have benefited.

Elf Entertainment also made a lot of money.

The influence of TV series directly drives the popularity of comics.

The single volume of "Boys Over Flowers" comics has become the highest-selling single volume of Elf Publishing House in the past two months.

And the magazine "Elf Cupid", which is serializing the comics of "Boys Over Flowers", has ushered in a surge in sales.

The circulation even once overwhelmed "Big Brother" "Elf CUTE".

You must know that "Spirit CUTE" has recently relied on "Dragon Ball"'s No. 300 Budokai plot in the world, and its single-issue circulation has increased again, and has stabilized at around [-] million copies.

In other words, the highest sales volume of "Elf Cupid" in the past two months has exceeded 300 million.

A successful TV series, the increase to the original comics is simply terrifying.

And in addition to sales skyrocketing jobs.

There are many other benefits that TV dramas bring to Elf Publishing House.

For example, some TV stations have taken a fancy to other comics serialized on "Elf Cupid", and want to cooperate with Yunshang Entertainment to produce them together, trying to replicate the glory of "Boys Over Flowers".

And the success of "Boys Over Flowers" helped Yazawa Ai, the main writer, to become famous.

It also attracted many authors who are interested in becoming cartoonists, and submitted their works to "Elf Cupid", trying to become a contracted cartoonist of Elf Publishing House.

It can be seen that a successful project can drive a series of industrial chains.

For example, Elf Entertainment took advantage of the popularity to launch various peripheral products of "Boys Over Flowers" and cooperated with related parties to earn a lot of licensing fees.

Even the text love game "Boys Over Flowers" based on the Pokeball 2 handheld platform has almost been developed.

Therefore, the 40 billion turnover mentioned by Mitomo Iijima was only directly seen by Yunshang Entertainment.

With the advantages of the entire industrial chain created by Hideki Hanyu, the income from peripheral derivatives actually far exceeds this figure.

So don't look at the news about "Boys Over Flowers", there is no Hideki Hanyu's name at all.

But it was he, the behind-the-scenes boss, who really made a lot of money.

Those standing in front of the stage are just superficial scenery.

It's a pity that the F4 is too popular.

Saito Yuki, the heroine, was suppressed too much.

But fortunately, the "Real Asakura South" selection event jointly organized by the three companies has become very popular recently.

But compared to the scenery of "Boys Over Flowers".

The first episode has already been produced, and "Kitten Club", which will be broadcast on Fuji TV at 05:30 pm on July [-]st, seems a little unknown.

The reason for this is that the broadcast time period is not good.

At this point in time, the students who are the main audience of the program have basically just finished school and are doing club activities.

Before "Kitten Club" became popular, it was difficult for these children to give up club activities and go home to watch the show.

And the most important point is that this show lacks publicity hot spots.

The main selling point of the whole show is that no threshold is required, and any amateur girl can come to participate in the gimmick of the show.

But it takes time to develop an audience.

After counting and counting, the most able to promote in the program turned out to be Suita Asuka who just participated in "Boys Over Flowers".

Fujidai and Akimoto Yasushi during the first publicity.

In addition to promoting that any amateur girl can participate in this stunt.

So I can only use Asuka Suita as a selling point.

In this way, in the case of low attention.

The first episode of "The Kitten Club" aired.

And Hideki Hanyu, who just finished a busy day at the autograph session, went home and lay on the sofa, not wanting to move at all.

By the way, I turned on the TV to see how the "Kitten Club" in this time and space was made.

Although he was busy with the signing event, after confirming the plan, he no longer had anything to do with the production of the show.

But it doesn't mean he doesn't pay attention to "The Kitten Club".

After all, as long as the show can reach the popularity of its previous life, Cloud Entertainment can make a lot of money.

What's more, among the members of the Kitten Club, there is Shizuka Kudo.

This is a top-notch idol in the late 80s, a real cash cow.

Besides Hideki Hanyu, many people are also waiting for the broadcast of the program.

For example, members of the program production team such as Yasushi Akimoto.

There are also those girls in the Yunshang Arts Training Base who participated in the recording of the first program.

After they decided to participate in the show, the brokerage contract was officially transferred from Yunshang Entertainment to Yasushi Akimoto's AKS office.

This sudden relocation made the girls worried and at a loss.

in their view.

This seems to be a move by Yunshang Yi Neng to give up on them.

So they feel that only if the show is successful can they have the opportunity to return to Yunshang Performing Arts.

　Something happened at home, I'm sorry, it's too late to come back, I only have [-] today.

　　If it can shine, this song is very nice and has been put into the playlist of NetEase Cloud's 'Through the Bubble Era'
