In the new year, Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly had a sudden idea and assigned Sanchi Iijima another task, which was still a task that made her feel a little confused.
"Iijima, when you have free time, go and learn English."
Iwahashi Shinichi's rambling sentence seemed like he was joking with her.
Of course, Miji Iijima couldn't really think that his boss was just joking with him out of boredom. Therefore, he cautiously agreed first, and then confirmed with Shinichi Iwahashi, "Does Iwahashi-san have any new arrangements?"
Iwahashi Shinichi told her, "For the sake of the future, you must not just focus on the country. You should go out and see more."
Although the Japanese entertainment industry has always been full of the trend of playing with one's own self, "popularity" cannot not be influenced by overseas, to be precise, the United States.
As times change, local audiences have more and more channels and more and more convenient ways to obtain the latest trends. As a domestic record company, we need to consider learning first-hand from the birthplace of world pop.
Popular information, then, tries to find ways to "harmonize" it into something new that suits the tastes of Japanese audiences.
In an era when the global village has emerged, if one does not have such awareness, he will also lose his sense of popularity and even be abandoned by other companies. Independent record companies like GENZO have inherent disadvantages in such an era, so they must start early
Make preparations and plans.
I would go to the United States to set up a recording studio because of this consideration. From now on, opening branches overseas and obtaining the distribution rights of foreign singers in Japan must be written in the plan.
In order to achieve this level, record companies need to continue to expand their scale and increase their strength.
Iwahashi Shinichi had high hopes for Iijima Mitochi and felt that she could be used for a great job. A capable person would work hard. When he went abroad for exchanges in the future, he would inevitably send her out to have a look.
Iwahashi Shinichi was so ambitious. Iijima Sanchi was already surprised when he heard that he "cannot focus only on the country."
Before hearing this plan from Shinichi Iwahashi, Mitsuo Iijima had not actually thought about anything outside of Japan.
However, no matter what she thought before, since she was placed with such expectations, for her, even if it was instinctive, she would reach out and grasp it, and after that, she would learn English as Iwahashi Shinichi ordered and think at the same time.
things you might do yourself.
This is one of the biggest advantages in Mijima Iijima's impression of Iwahashi Shinichi.
Iijima Mitochi has been Iwahashi Shinichi's driver for a long time. Iwahashi Shinichi knows her very well. He knows in his heart that this person is definitely not the kind of person who is content to accept arrangements and be an ordinary middle-level company person.
people.
To be precise, Miji Iijima's impression on Iwahashi Shinichi was that when her position changes, her goals and ambitions will also be adjusted accordingly. It is precisely because of this flexibility that Iwahashi Shinichi feels that she
It is a material that can be made.
Of course, Iwahashi Shinichi himself was fully confident that he could make good use of this craftable material.
…
In the first few episodes of TOKIO's new program, Iwahashi Shinichi, the band's producer and the program's consultant, will naturally appear.
Kitagawa Suo, the person who really made the decision, hid behind the scenes, and Iwahashi Shinichi sat in front of the stage and conveyed to the audience that "TOKIO is serious about being a band."
In the first few issues, since Iwahashi Shinichi is going to appear on the scene, he also has considerable decision-making power in the selection of guests. The guest in the first issue, the one proposed by Iwahashi Shinichi, is a small room that is currently in the limelight.
Zhezai.
Now that TRF is becoming popular, Tetsuya Komuro, a new producer, has also become the focus of attention. In addition, he was already quite famous during his TM WORK period. He is still a handsome man with gorgeous appearance. Now his popularity is high and he is highly sought after.
Please come to his program, everyone has a lot of background. Being able to come and be this guest despite your busy schedule is naturally to compliment Shinichi Iwahashi.
Although Kitagawa has a strong influence in the industry, all parties have to sell some face to him. But for musicians, unless they have been favored by him, or want to recommend themselves to Johnny as a composer, this account is
Whether to buy or not to buy depends entirely on your own thoughts and mood.
In the early days, Kitagawa Suo liked to collaborate with established musicians. But in recent years, the idol era has come to an end and Johnny's career has declined. Naturally, new musicians don't want to get close to Johnny.
Of course, no matter how TOKIO is cultivated as a band, in essence, they cannot deviate from their identity as "Johnny's idol". For Kitagawa, if TOKIO is really a band, it would be a betrayal of his own ideals.
Therefore, on the one hand, they want to promote TOKIO as a band to the public, on the other hand, they still have to ensure that they carry out activities as idols. In order to achieve such a "have both cake and eat", they must
Now this new show is professional enough to make the public think that it is a "music variety show" rather than an "idol variety show".
Different programs have different audiences.
A music variety show can attract ordinary viewers, but an idol variety show can only be watched by a specific audience. Taking advantage of this, TOKIO can act as a band and an idol at the same time.
…
Although he was sitting in NTV's conference room as a producer and consultant, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't have much thought about speaking.
Although TOKIO is produced by him, and the record contract is also booked with GENZO, it is an external commission. And Johnny's has always only commissioned production, but you must personally inquire about the specific details. There are not many things that require Shinichi Iwahashi to make a decision.
.
To be honest, if it weren't for Kitagawa's invitation and the fact that he also wanted to collaborate with Johnny Dodo in the future, Shinichi Iwahashi would never have taken over such a band.
As for this program, the basic parts have been discussed with Kitagawa Kaguya. The specific production part depends on how the TV station and Johnnys negotiate and cooperate. There are not many things that Iwahashi Shinichi really needs to do. In other words, he
If you have any thoughts on this program, as long as you and Kitagawa reach a consensus on this idea, there is no need for him to personally explain it.
Besides, NTV’s production department also has its own dedicated music program producer. It is impossible for Shinichi Iwahashi to be indiscriminate in NTV’s territory for the sake of TOKIO.
Iwahashi Shinichi is not only a producer, but also the head of a record company. Sitting in the conference room with such a complicated status, he can listen more and talk less. The TV station is naturally relieved.
Even a TV station that is one of the four major civil broadcasters has absolutely no intention of causing any unpleasantness with a record company manager who has a promising future and a lot of talented people under his command. In an industry that requires constant cooperation, you can't make enemies without making enemies.
, this is simple common sense.
So, the preparation stage before production officially started. The atmosphere in the program production team was harmonious and the progress was smooth. People in black behind the scenes sat together and decided how the teenagers would perform in the program next.
After all, music variety shows are also "variety shows". If they focus too much on "music" and make the content boring and lacking in laughter, they will not be able to attract the general audience they target. It would be too profound for young idols who have not debuted to do it.
program is definitely a failure that ranks among the top three in all kinds of thankless arrangements.
Most of the ordinary viewers either know little about it, or simply watch it for fun. The purpose of this show is to let the viewers who know little about it see what they can see, and believe that these teenagers are serious. In addition to this,
, but also to make other viewers who don’t understand anything confused after watching it.
As for those true expert viewers, they may watch this show, but they are definitely not the audience the production team wants to please.
If we really want to talk about it, the so-called "expert audience" is the kind who will not appreciate the program unless it is well done, but as soon as something goes wrong, they will immediately passionately criticize the program as not worthy of its name. Not only that, but there is a high probability that it is not worthy of the name.
I will buy my idol’s records.
Of course, whether you are looking for clues or watching the fun, the most important thing is to make the audience find the program "interesting".
Different from ordinary variety shows, since the growth of several teenagers is the highlight of the program, there is no need for too detailed scripts, but to allow the teenagers to express themselves and show their own personalities as much as possible.
Shinichi Iwahashi could imagine this. A man like Kitagawa Kao, who has handled countless idols and has rich experience, had certainly considered this from the beginning. Kitagawa Kao's approach was to collect the personalities of several teenagers from the time he decided to form a team.
, characteristics, and ask them what role they want to play in the show, and on this basis, make arrangements for the teenagers.
In Kitagawa's view, personality is not a static thing, so at the beginning, there is no need to immediately fix which member will play what role in the team.
As for "selling points", if this member chooses this one, then if other members can't do better than him, they have to choose another selling point as their own. Those who have no selling points will naturally be at the bottom, or even
Eliminated.
A combination formed with this concept also has a competitive relationship among its members. Although they have to behave as one body when they act as a group, it is actually a sense of honor for the club they belong to.
Shinichi Iwahashi, who is famous as an idol producer, always knows to pay attention to discovering the personality of the newcomers when launching new ones, and make corresponding settings on this basis. However, I have witnessed Johnny's high maturity at close range.
This method of introducing newcomers still shocked him greatly, and he gained a lot.
You can never have too much production experience. What’s more, in the entertainment industry, what we have been doing for many years is putting old wine in new bottles.
…
After a meeting, Shinichi Iwahashi not only accepted greetings from others, but also greeted others. Important people who don't do much are always welcome. This was something Shinichi Iwahashi fully realized at this moment.
At the beginning, because Watanabe Productions had a bad relationship with NTV, Watanabe Manyumi and he naturally excluded NTV when looking for a TV station to cooperate with. This also made, in the following years, Iwahashi Shinichi and NTV
There is also very little contact.
This time, being a consultant for TOKIO's program is a good opportunity to connect with NTV.
Perhaps because of the signal from Johnny, Fujishima Keiko was very enthusiastic towards Shinichi Iwahashi. She was smiling all over her face at the moment, talking to Shinichi Iwahashi in a cheerful tone, and was very close to the rumored Princess Johnny who was not easy to mess with.
The image seems very different.
However, even with a smile on his face, there is still a bit of unbearable arrogance between his eyebrows.
From the very beginning, Shinichi Iwahashi had always wanted to be Jason's friend, so he kept a polite distance from Kitagawa Marie's group in his heart.
The Heike faction failed in their debut and Keiko Fujishima joined NTV. Shinichi Iwahashi was not unconcerned about this series of events. He even investigated it and had his own inference in his mind. He was convinced that Johnny's future power transfer was not as it seemed.
Simple.
Yoshida Miki, who was determined to be the heir early, first joined Fuji Television, which had a good relationship with Watanabe Productions, after graduating from college. Her husband, who was re-elected, was also a producer at Fuji Television. Afterwards, he resigned from the television station and inherited the family business naturally.
But Keiko Fujishima was on the contrary. She hurriedly worked in the agency and took on a big responsibility as soon as she started. She was responsible for the debut of a new group. Later, the group failed to debut, and she quietly joined the TV station. This
The order of work arrangements, coupled with the arrangements for the debut of Heike Faction and SMAP before and after, in Iwahashi Shinichi's eyes, it is quite interesting.
In the current situation, with the support of Kitagawa Marie, Fujishima Keiko's position as heir shows no sign of wavering. However, looking at Kitagawa's series of arrangements, at least he does not want such a "successor" to be waiting there early.
.
…
"Next, our company's TOKIO will be entrusted to Iwahashi-san."
Keiko Fujishima smiled and bowed to Shinichi Iwahashi. At this moment of contact, her personality was very cheerful, unlike a Japanese woman.
Iwahashi Shinichi was polite and replied, "For newcomers to successfully debut, it will naturally require the efforts of all parties. I am also honored to be able to contribute a small amount to this."
Mijima Iijima, who came with him, stood behind him and listened silently to the two people's greetings.
Next to Iwahashi Shinichi, Iijima Sanchi seemed even more inconspicuous, just like a stone on the roadside. It wasn't until Fujishima Keiko was about to say goodbye that she realized that the follower behind Iwahashi Shinichi was the Iijima Sanchi.
.
Why are there such weirdos?
Fujishima Keiko couldn't help but have such an idea in her mind.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi valued this inconspicuous little stone so much, which made the sight of the inconspicuous Iijima Sanchi suddenly seem to have a somewhat unfathomable meaning, making people dare not despise it.
...If you are a powerful person, you should show some edge.
But unfortunately, this Iijima Sanchi is so ordinary.
