Chapter 1366 1367. Everyone has their own thoughts
It is rare for a multi-female idol group to become popular. In other words, for a long time, the multi-female idol group simply could not exist.
The most popular female idols in the industry either work alone or form a team of two or three people. The only ones that can become popular when they work in groups are the Kitten Club.
In this regard, male idols can always break through the limitations of a threesome.
Going back to its origin, when the Beatles were introduced to Japan, in the eyes of the Japanese, they were four super idols.
Although the Tokyo Dance Dolls are also a multi-person group, they focus on powerful female idols who are good at singing and dancing. This is exactly the opposite of the policy implemented by the crude amateur idols Kitty Club. Therefore, in their promotion, they claim to be "the first group in Japan's history".
Pop singing and dancing female idol group”.
Nevertheless, in terms of the specific production and operation of the group, it is easy to find the experience from the Kitten Club. Of course, if you want to trace the production experience of the Kitten Club, you should actually look at the century-old Baojia Song and Dance Company.
Experiences are often common.
When Tokyo Dance Dolls was founded, it was based on three members. Sony EPIC, the record label to which the group belongs, imitated the trainee system of the Kitty Club and continuously promoted reserve members to main members.
In addition, the record company also divided the group into a two-army system, a formal army and a reserve army, and decided who would stand in the front row according to the popularity of the members. Now, the members who are qualified to act as the main force, that is, the first army
There are seven people in total, in addition to the so-called "sisters" members who operate under the name of the Second Army.
There were more than one Tokyo Dance Doll backstage at today's show. When she thought that her teammates were performing on stage as invited guests, and that she was able to enter the backstage because of her recent close relationship with Tetsuya Komuro, Shinohara Ryoko subconsciously felt
I want to avoid Yuri Ichiro and avoid meeting her, but I can't help but think of her in my heart.
People like Tetsuya Komuro can immediately detect hostility between women.
Ever since he had the idea of launching a "super idol" who would lead fashion trends, Shinichi Iwahashi's reading list included fashion magazines. The clerk collected mainstream fashion magazines for him, and the clerk reviewed them first.
Go through it once, extract the key points, and then give it to Shinichi Iwahashi to read.
However, no matter whether Tetsuya Komuro is a hero or a god, it must be Shinichi Iwahashi who determines the form and appearance of the pop he created will appear in front of the public.
However, although idols can participate in a variety of jobs, their roots are always music. Tokyo Dance Dolls' record sales are extremely dismal, and the highest ranking of the singles they have released is no more than thirty.
This ambition to get ahead led Shinohara Ryoko to regard members of the same group who looked similar to her or who might threaten her as enemies, and would even beat up outstanding members of the Second Army.
Such changes will actually become restrictions imposed by the company on those "selected people".
On the other hand, Yuri Ichiro, who is very interested in underground culture, can also participate in performances as an active idol.
In a group whose ranking is determined by popularity, if members want to stand in the front row and get more resources, they must do their best to express themselves. In a group with a large number of people, there is a competitive relationship between members. Therefore,
There are many factions within the group, and the atmosphere between them is tense.
After this performance, everyone in Japan will know Tetsuya Komuro's name.
As long as this grand performance can come to a successful conclusion, Tetsuya Komuro will have a "godhead". People in the world are looking after him, and he will have the ability to select someone. No matter what kind of person this "someone" is.
This means that no matter how much the public in the world supports a selected "hero", if this person opposes the company, his momentum will be affected immediately.
However, what impressed Shinichi Iwahashi most deeply was her relaxed temperament. It would not be wrong to say that she had no ambition, but she was not the kind of enterprising person. If I must say, she was the kind of person
People who are willing to invest themselves in the things they like.
The more members there are in a group, the more opportunities the members have to be exposed to different jobs. After all, when there are too many people, it is easy to be lost in the crowd. If you want to impress the audience, you must have your own personality and characteristics, even if you are just a person.
Bad settings are better than boring settings.
In fact, Takuji Sakamoto and Yuri Ichirai only met once or twice. Rather than being an introducer, they were more like guiding Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori.
To be precise, it was Shinohara Ryoko who was unilaterally unhappy with Ichikai Yuri, but Ichikai Yuri was indifferent to it. However, the more Ichikai Yuri showed no concern, the more Shinohara Ryoko felt because she was not taken seriously.
accurate.
She hates businessman Yuri, but in front of such a person, she always feels helpless and unable to exert herself. This feeling of powerlessness intensifies the frustration of her self-esteem, creating a vicious cycle.
On the one hand, this kind of behavior is annoying in the group, but on the other hand, it also attracts junior members who are willing to get closer to her. Shinohara Ryoko is like a big sister within the group.
The worse the album sales are, the more you need to participate in various tasks to maintain the operation of the group and increase the popularity of the group.
In this way, the more frustrated she becomes, the more courageous she becomes, and the more she fights, the more energetic she becomes. Only in front of people like Ichigo Yuri will she feel defeated.
For a young girl from the countryside with no special talents, if she wants to get ahead, the only way is to use herself. Shinohara Ryoko takes this idea for granted.
Of course, she also knew that coming to the backstage of the concert was for more important things.
The multi-female idol group, which is not easy to develop, was born in the idol ice age. Since its formation, Tokyo Dance Dolls has never had any signs of becoming popular. Thanks to the support of Sony, the group's publicity standards are high enough.
The members also have many opportunities to appear on TV or participate in magazine shoots, and they are somewhat famous among young people.
This is done not only to keep up with current trends, but also to find attractive young models.
If Shinichi Iwahashi, who was hiding behind the scenes and arranging all this, is a big shot, then Tetsuya Komuro is the star that everyone is eyeing.
It's the same today.
Ichijo Yuri is just a pot of flowers decorating the stage. When Shinohara Ryoko thought of this, the rejection and disgust she felt just now disappeared instantly.
Two months ago, Shinohara Ryoko was invited by a friend to attend a party hosted by Tetsuya Komuro. Tetsuya Komuro is famous for his rich nightlife. After successfully producing TRF, he became even more high-spirited and attended parties almost every day.
Shinohara Ryoko felt like her heart was pricked by needles when she thought that if she met Yuri Ichirai, the other person would look polite but actually looked down upon them.
Shinohara Ryoko, who was noticed by Shinichi Iwahashi, aspired to develop into an actor. Although she sometimes played clowns or villains in short dramas, she was not constrained by her status as an idol.
Being able to distinguish what is American fashion or what is Harajuku trend is attributed to Shinichi Iwahashi who regularly reads fashion magazines - although he himself does not care about his daily wear and leaves it all to Akina Nakamori.
Ichijo Yuri is trendy and fashionable, but not exaggerated. Her clothes and makeup look no different from the models in American fashion magazines aimed at the younger generation. In fact, she is indeed working as a model.
This change in the direction of selection has made people who were not within the scope of Shinichi Iwahashi's consideration in the past become candidates who can be considered.
Compared to the new producer whom she has never met, Iwahashi Shinichi, who he met from a distance and gave her a chance, is more in line with Shinohara Ryoko's perception of a "big shot".
However, unlike young ladies like Yuri Ichii who came out to experience life, Ryoko Shinohara came to Kyoto from her hometown of Gunma Prefecture just to get ahead.
Although his brother yearns for it, he can neither go to the venue to watch it nor go to the sub-venue to join in the fun. However, according to him, the local disco responded to the performance and organized special events on the day.
The only flaw is that Yuri Ichiro also participated in the performance.
Just after meeting her briefly and chatting for a while, I knew that this was a young lady with a good background.
In the final analysis, Komuro Tetsuya invited Ichiki Yuri not because he recognized her talent.
But Tetsuya Komuro is cool and generous, and he is still a producer at the right time.
When Ryoko Shinohara received the invitation from Tetsuya Komuro, she readily agreed without hesitation. As a guest personally invited by the protagonist of the show, Ryoko Shinohara could not only go backstage before the performance, but also enter the area belonging to those connected through an exclusive channel.
Fame cannot be converted into real money sales. As an idol group, they are always in the third rate.
When he first entered the music industry, Shinichi Iwahashi put singing skills and talent first when selecting new people. Of course, if he wants to launch a band or a traditional solo singer, these standards will not change.
In fact, there is no difference between the two of them.
Although Ryoko Shinohara hates Yuri Ichii's aloofness, Yuri Ichii is actually quite popular in the group. In contrast, Ryoko Shinohara, who is ambitious, wants to move forward in everything, and never misses an opportunity, has a positive evaluation of her.
A mixed bag of good and bad.
Yuri Ichikai is that annoying, arrogant Tokyoite.
At the same time, the entertainment industry will rely more and more on media promotion. Large companies are expanding rapidly in the recession, while small companies are struggling. Dramas such as an inch-and-a-half-inch long worm challenging a big snake will hardly have the opportunity to happen again.
This grand performance at Wangan Plaza was so powerful that even Shinohara Ryoko’s younger brother in Gunma’s hometown heard about it and became yearning for it.
What Ryoko Shinohara had to work hard to get, Yuri Ichiro could always get it easily.
…
However, for Ryoko Shinohara, when she heard Tetsuya Komuro's name, the first thing that came to her mind was Shinichi Iwahashi.
Shinohara Ryoko actually didn't like to hear about her hometown. However, the information her brother sent her made her understand what kind of person she was dealing with.
To be precise, the person who showed curiosity towards Yuri Ichiro was Akina Nakamori.
He showed a clear expression, but his words were a little frivolous, and replied: "When a cute girl appears on such a stage, isn't it interesting to see such a contrast?"
When the bubble bursts, the social atmosphere will inevitably turn conservative. This is a conceivable rule. The world will increasingly emphasize the chosen people, rather than those who get rewards through hard work - because hard work is difficult to be rewarded. This kind of "being chosen"
"A person can either be chosen by God and possess a genius' talent, or he can be a Cinderella chosen by a famous producer.
Everyone knows that Tetsuya Komuro has now joined Shinichi Iwahashi's record company.
However, if you want to launch a so-called "super idol", then appearance and your own expressiveness will become the top priority.
When launching a new artist, it will become the norm to have some distinctive characteristics rather than the hard work of slow work. In addition, the record company spares no effort to package it and get the chance to become an instant hit. Once the new artist needs to invest a lot of publicity resources
In order to gain attention, the company's voice will be more important.
…
Ryoko Shinohara and Yuri Ichirai, these two people have never gotten along.
She was once a bad girl, but she was never a well-educated person. In her personality, Ryoko Shinohara has always had a side that bullies the weak and fears the strong, and is fierce and fierce. Of course, she also has the intelligence to watch people's actions and what they are doing. Such a personality is very popular in the entertainment industry.
She can eat it happily and she is very enthusiastic about it.
In the eyes of Ryoko Shinohara, Tokyoites like Yuri Ichii, who come from a good background, always have an inexplicable sense of superiority. They seem to be polite to others, but in fact they only look at people through their nostrils. Even though they have participated in the selection meeting of the group, they always behave in a normal way.
The members of the sub-group and colleagues did not take it seriously.
When Shinichi Iwahashi decided to help Tetsuya Komuro and praise him as a "hero", he was already considering this series of issues.
Although Shinohara Ryoko temporarily put away her hostility towards Ichiro Yuri, she entered the backstage and found Komuro Tetsuya. After a few words, without her mentioning it, Komuro Tetsuya said first: "Today, members of your same group also participated.
show."
Shinohara Ryoko smiled and said, "I heard that Ichijo Yuri-chan has always been interested in underground culture."
With this thought in her mind, Shinohara Ryoko not only no longer objected to meeting Yuri Ichirai, she even secretly looked forward to meeting Yuri Ichikai backstage to see her bluffing look.
At this time, Tetsuya Komuro remembered and suddenly asked her, "Have you met Iwahashi-kun just now?" He looked at Ryoko Shinohara with a playful expression, "Iwahashi-kun and Akina-chan came backstage together."
"Akina-sanya?" Ryoko Shinohara couldn't detect the subtlety in Tetsuya Komuro's tone.
Although Tetsuya Komuro worked closely with Shinichi Iwahashi and was quite satisfied with this collaborator. However, backstage in this performance in which he was the protagonist, Tetsuya Komuro still had a subtle mentality of not wanting Shinichi Iwahashi to appear here.
