In such a hot summer day, people are too lazy to move.
Shinichi Iwahashi picked up his tea cup and started talking to Watanabe Wanyumi, "For a TV series like this, Johnny's side will definitely take action."
A campus TV series that requires a large number of boys and girls to gather together, Johnny will certainly not pass up the opportunity to stuff JR into it.
In that year's "Mr. Three Years Eight Group Kinpachi", Kitagawa not only stuffed the three members of the Tahara Trio into the TV series, but even Fujishima Keiko played a female student in it.
This time, TV Asahi was preparing for a school drama, so naturally someone from the production bureau informed Johnny. The huge amount of entertainment expenses the agency spends every year will come in handy at moments like this.
However, Watanabe Mayumi was even more curious about his sudden mention of Johnny. To a certain extent, every time she heard Shinichi Iwahashi mention Johnny, she had a feeling that Shinichi Iwahashi had some plans in mind.
premonition.
Although Shinichi Iwahashi has become very close to Johnny's Kitagawa in the past two years, and even received a production commission from Kitagawa, Watanabe Manyumi has not forgotten the past.
In her opinion, people like Iwahashi Shinichi had already stored their own ideas when he responded to Kitagawa Kaguya's overtures... This is a mutual understanding accumulated over many years of cooperation.
Shinichi Iwahashi changed the topic as expected, "A few days ago, I met Kitagawa-san from Johnny's and talked about the kids of TOKIO. What Jason meant is that I hope that by this time next year, the group will be able to debut at a level that is good for them."
When he started to interact with Kaguo Kitagawa, he realized that it was no wonder that this old man could accumulate such deep connections in the industry. Practitioners of all ages could maintain a good relationship with him.
Although Johnny's family has a big business now, the industry has to give him face. However, the reason why he is willing to deal with Kitagawa Kuo is because Kitagawa Kuo is very good at dealing with people. You will never feel uncomfortable when dealing with him.
moment.
In this regard, Kitagawa Kuo's sister and niece are far behind.
It's interesting to say that Kitagawa Mari, who was born as a bar owner and was supposed to be good at dealing with people, was once helped by a great writer and became "Fujishima Yasuko". After taking over Johnny's, she became very willful and treated the people she liked.
He is kind and kind, and he hates people he doesn't like so much that he doesn't even bother to pretend.
On the other hand, Kitagawa Kao, whenever he got along with this old man, there was no such thing as "arrogance" in his evaluation of him. But on the other hand, Kitagawa Kao also needs to be extremely cautious when dealing with him.
.
Watanabe Manyumi reacted for a moment, and checked in her mind the JR group that entrusted Kitagawa expansion to Iwahashi Shinichi, and then asked: "Is the group ready to debut?"
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "That's hard to say." He glanced at Watanabe Wan Yumi, who was slightly dissatisfied, and explained, "Jennisan didn't give such a precise word as 'debut'."
What Kitagawa Kaguo means is that from now on, when arranging work for the young people in TOKIO, and making plans, the goal is to create a momentum for this group to debut.
"Those teenagers' music program on NTV has good ratings and good response. The TV station has discussed with Johnny and plans to move the program schedule forward by one hour in October," said Shinichi Iwahashi.
"It seems that Shinichi-kun's strategy has worked well." Watanabe Manyumi replied.
The technique of using a tiger's skin to make a banner will never become outdated, but it needs to keep pace with the times. In Watanabe Manyumi's view, this kind of timely and appropriate improvement is Iwahashi Shinichi's strength.
Shinichi Iwahashi corrected, "It would be better to say that Jason's connections are wide enough and he was able to invite so many big shots to appear. And the performance of those young men was unexpectedly good."
A musician who has a good relationship with Shinichi Iwahashi will go to help support the show because he is the nominal consultant for this show.
And those singers and bands who usually seem to look down on their idols can also nod to participate in the shows of those young people. This is of course a favor sold to Kitagawa and Johnny by them or the company behind them.
But for the audience, seeing a singer band that usually seems to look down on idols to participate in TOKIO's program gave them a hint: this group is different and has been recognized by the powerful. Even, the program
Until now, some viewers don’t know that TOKIO is Johnny’s group.
If the industry wants to use any tricks on the audience, it will be easy.
To a certain extent, this is also done with the acquiescence of the audience. In the final analysis, for most viewers, it does not matter whether there is any "reality" behind what is broadcast to them on TV, they just want to get something.
Just for entertainment.
"Jennisan's plan is unpredictable." Watanabe Mayumi said carefully, "However, an artist's debut is a matter of timing. Sometimes, timing is more important than level or popularity.
the most important."
Iwahashi Shinichi took over the JR group from Kitagawa Kitagawa, and together with Kitagawa Kitagawa, they selected the group TOKIO. Later, he made suggestions for this group and opened such a music program on NTV.
The reason why I did so much is because I received a commission from Kitagawa Exo. However, in return for doing so, TOKIO’s record contract when they debuted was already booked with GENZO.
Johnny has always only cooperated with major record companies. This time, he took the initiative to find Shinichi Iwahashi and wanted to make friends with him. It was obvious that he needed to rely on the experience accumulated by the GENZO group in the band era. However, if he blindly accommodates Kitagawa Kaguya's "idol"
The concept of "band" destroys the balance, then TOKIO as a band will not succeed.
In Watanabe Wan Yumi's heart, she still thought that if she accepted Kitagawa's commission, everything would be perfect.
Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't really care when TOKIO debuts, but he agrees with Watanabe Manyumi. An artist's debut depends on the timing. If you miss the best opportunity, you will lose the opportunity to become a first-class artist.
In fact, Watanabe Manyumi's phrase "timing" also contains a conjecture about whether the band's era has reached the point of transition from prosperity to decline.
It’s been the fifth year since “Band Paradise” debuted with five consecutive wins, and now the band is dominating the charts.
When the band era was at its peak, hundreds of flowers bloomed. But once the band era began to cool down, there would be many bands that had the potential to reach a higher level but were unable to take another step forward. However, regarding Watanabe Manyumi's vague concerns, Iwahashi Shinichi
But he said: "Perhaps it would be more in line with the 'time' for TOKIO to debut later than to debut earlier."
If I really want to say it, compared to TOKIO's debut, Iwahashi Shinichi is more concerned about other things.
