Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 40 Preparing for a New Work
Hideki Hanyu successfully completed the recording, which took only one day, which is equivalent to increasing the shooting time for Shinsuke Ito.

He had discussed the details of the shooting before, and had a lot of discussions with Ito Shinsuke, and Ito Shinsuke also made a detailed shooting script and plan.

Therefore, he only followed the group for a long time at the beginning, and after teaching Matsuda Seiko to dance the thousand-layer routine, he saw that the shooting met his heart's requirements, and then he became a hands-off producer.

Morinaga Dairy's ice cream commercial is progressing smoothly, and on the other hand, the national selection of Suntory's commercial starring has officially begun.

Founded in 1921, Suntory is a long-established manufacturer and seller of alcoholic soft drinks with rich wealth and strength.

Since last year, Suntory decided to get involved in the soft drink industry, but unfortunately, after the launch of several products, the sales volume was not satisfactory.

The cooperation with Dentsu, coupled with the acclaimed advertising filming by Fang Yunying, made Suntory attach great importance to this advertising promotion and marketing.

Therefore, when they decided to implement Hideki Hanyu's suggestion, in just one day, the media's promotion of the selection of leading actors in the advertisement appeared overwhelmingly in Quan Neon.

Although the selection suggestion was put forward by Hideki Hanyu, the selection rules were formulated after discussions between Dentsu and Asako Hirohashi.

Considering that the selection time is relatively short, the rules are very simple.

As long as they are not older than 16 years old, not less than 1.5 meters tall, amateur girls with good facial features can sign up, and they only need to submit basic information and full-body photos within a week.

Yun Shang Pictures will select [-] candidates according to the shooting needs, invite them to come to Tokyo to participate in the interview, and directly select three leading actors in the advertisement during the interview, and the selected ones will be paid one million yen.

Relying on Suntory's promotion at all costs and the temptation of millions of yen, Yun Shang Pictures has received a lot of letters every day these days, and the initial screening project is huge.

Originally, Hideki Hanyu finished the music recording and thought he could be lazy to accompany his girlfriend, but Asako Hirohashi caught him directly.

"Asako-san, I said you don't have to trouble me for such a simple matter."

Hideki Hanyu kept opening the envelope, found that it did not meet the requirements, and then threw it away, repeating and continuing, with a bored face.

It's just shooting commercials, and it's not entering the entertainment world to become an artist, so many girls want to try it.

In addition, in terms of their selection rules, they can only require good looks, and those who cannot publicly say they are ugly should not come. As a result, too many girls who do not meet the requirements have sent messages.

"We have only a few employees, and Ito-san took them all to shoot commercials. Yoshioka-san wants to cooperate with Dentsu's work. Could it be that Hanyu-san left me busy?"

On the opposite side, Asako Hirohashi was also repeating the action of opening the letter, with a helpless tone.

"There are still too few people, why don't you recruit more employees."

"Our current business volume is too small, and it is not cost-effective to recruit employees from the society. I want to wait for the graduation season to recruit graduates." Hirohashi Asako said her plan.

"Asako-san is really budget-conscious, but when it's time to recruit people, it's too late to recruit people when there is more business." Hideki Hanyu suggested.

"I will consider it." Hirohashi Asako said.

"I'm going to move in a few days, and I'm going to hold a housewarming party. I will only invite close friends. Then Asako-san will bring Saori-chan to play."

Talking about work was really boring, so Hideki Hanyu talked about moving.

If it wasn't too busy these days, I should have moved in a long time ago.

"no problem."

……

The two chatted like this while making choices.

Due to the large number of people, they didn't even have time to look at the sender's information, and decided whether to be eliminated based on the appearance conditions in the photos.

The two were busy until the afternoon, and Yoshioka Shota just came back, and the three of them opened the letter together, and the efficiency immediately improved a lot.

"Hey, this girl looks really pretty." Shota Yoshioka said loudly when he just arrived.

Occasionally discovering a girl with good talent can be regarded as the joy of the boring work of the three of them opening letters.

"It must be excellent to be praised by Yoshioka-san for being beautiful." Hirohashi Asako came over curiously.

Shota Yoshioka has been working in the entertainment industry for many years, he doesn't see too many beauties, and the ones who catch his eyes are definitely not too bad.

"It's really beautiful, just like a girl who came out of a cartoon."

Hearing that even Hirohashi Asako was praising, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help being curious, and leaned over to look at it.

"It's really beautiful."

The girl in the photo has a delicate and beautiful face with a pointed chin when she smiles, just like Hirohashi Asako said, she looks like a sweet heroine in a manga.

However, Hideki Hanyu looked familiar, so he simply took the girl's personal information from Shota Yoshioka, and was going to find out who it was.

Minako Kudo, born on July 1967, 7, lives in Kamiakakatsuka, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo.

Uh ~
Isn’t this Minako Honda, who debuted as an idol singer in 85, but bumped into Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda, who were competing for the top spot, and was crushed by the two super idols. 25 copies were sold.

The reason why Hideki Hanyu remembers this not-so-popular idol is entirely because of the lamentable fate of the other party's early death due to illness.

In my memory, I once saw a ranking list of neon evil female stars, and this one was ranked under Sakai Spring, so I was very impressed.

It seems that the No.1 of this list of vicious beauties has been occupied by a certain chubby dish all year round. No wonder later generations will directly jump out of the other party's name when entering a vicious beauties at a certain point.

"With this kind of appearance, it is enough to make an idol debut, or else we should hire her internally." Shota Yoshioka suggested.

"Don't worry, there are still so many people who haven't watched it, and there will be time to make sure later."

Although Asako Hirohashi also admired Minako Kudo, she was not in a hurry to make a conclusion.

Hideki Hanyu did not express his opinion, after all it is too early to say anything.

However, the three of them were not busy for too long. After Ito Shinsuke successfully filmed the ice cream commercial and started post-production, several employees who were taken away by him finally returned.

Anyway, the selection criteria only need to be beautiful and cute, and they decisively left the job of primary selection to their subordinates.

Hanyu Hideki also took advantage of the temporary leisure to continue to create, but he has not forgotten that he is still a writer at all.

Without the continuous cash flow brought by his works, what should he use to invest in starting a business and enjoy life.

At this time, he was very fortunate to have chosen to create picture books and become a writer.

For reading materials such as picture books, the sales explosion seems to be inferior to that of novels, but the sales life of picture books cannot last long.

How do you say that, children will not always be three years old, but there will always be three-year-old children.

The annual sales volume seems to be only [-] to [-], but it is printed almost every year, and the sales volume is stable, and there is no decline in sales for decades.

Moreover, buying picture books for parents is not like buying novels. They start with several books, and children can read quickly, and the frequency of purchases is very high.

In his previous life, he bought picture books for his little niece like this. He bought several books once every two or three months.

Even though he plans to release at least fifteen picture books a year, it is easy for the picture book market to digest, which is why the Elementary School attaches great importance to him.

The market is big enough, he is still a popular writer without worrying about sales, he can sign as many paintings as he can.

That is to say, Hideki Hanyu considered the limited inventory in his mind, and he didn't want to be too different, otherwise he would really live in the Shokokan.

In fact, not only picture books, but also children's literature books have such characteristics. If you look at the sales rankings, it is children's literature that dominates the list.

Therefore, in addition to picture books, Hideki Hanyu is also planning to try other children's literature works. If he can earn a little more, there are many places for him to spend his money.

The children's novel that was originally planned to be serialized was delayed because of the need to occupy the Pokémon IP, and it is time to come out now.
