Since the end of last year, SMAP's popularity has been on the rise. The group's members, Takuya Kimura and Masahiro Nakai, have been on the audience voting list several times this spring.
Last year, Kimura Takuya was favored by the producer of Fuji TV and played a role in "Who Stole My Heart". Isshiki Sae, who stars in the TV series, is a popular young actress recently, and her co-star Yuki Uchida is
A newcomer who just debuted, Kimura Takuya ranked behind these two. He was secretly in love with the lead actor and his co-star. In the end, he smiled when he watched the lead actor and co-star Mei Mei Yuri.
After the TV series was broadcast, Yuki Uchida's popularity soared, and Takuya Kimura also attracted much attention.
One TV series made two people famous. BURNING's direct descendant Yuki Uchida has a bright future, and Takuya Kimura, who was assigned by Kitagawa, did not suffer in vain at Fuji TV.
When the opportunity came, he successfully seized it. After the TV series, his popularity increased greatly, and audition opportunities came one after another. Kitagawa Etsuko, the screenwriter of "Who Stole My Heart", fell in love with this beautiful boy at first sight. Fuji TV's autumn TV series is scheduled for September 9th.
The manga "White Paper of Love" by Fumi Shibamon was adapted again, with Etsuki Kitagawa as the screenwriter, and Takuya Kimura was highly recommended to the producer.
When Kitagawa threw SMAP to Fuji TV, he said that apart from not letting these guys do anything in front of the camera, the rest was at the discretion of the producers. At this time, Kimura Takuya was gaining popularity and had cheap bowls, and he could also sell Kitagawa noodles.
Son, there is no reason not to use him in acting.
On this side, Takuya Kimura has become famous as an actor. On the other side, Masahiro Nakai is good at dancing and has been working hard in the TV station. From the producer to the artist to the on-site staff, they are all polite and considerate, and everything is based on the combination.
First, like the group’s leader and the group’s manager, the producer is willing to take a second look at SMAP for Masahiro Nakai’s sake.
With the efforts of these two older members, this group, which had a difficult time when they debuted, seems to have finally reached a turning point this year after going through a bumpy idol career in the past few years.
There is a strong wind rising around SMAP, so it is obvious that TOKIO needs to stand still.
For Johnny, if he doesn't officially release a record, it won't be his official debut. But he can still appear in TV shows without debuting.
TOKIO has accumulated popularity in another way on NTV. Fans have also speculated about the time of their debut. However, as SMAP's exploration has begun to bear fruit, TOKIO's debut is temporarily postponed until SMAP's popularity begins to explode.
, and then launch the next group of popular idols, this is more in line with the interests.
Now that SMAP has explored the way forward, Kitagawa Kao will probably let this group walk the same path as their predecessors before their official debut, so as to accumulate more popularity and make the debut effect more eye-catching.
Although TOKIO has to postpone their debut, their responsibility has been made clear. That is to cross the river by touching SMAP and continue to accumulate until the time comes when they can soar into the sky.
Only by launching a group that the world regarded as an "instant hit" could Johnny regain his footing in the idol ice age.
After SMAP played their role as a test product, TOKIO's mission changed accordingly.
Iwahashi Shinichi knew this well, so he only occasionally listened to information about the TOKIO group. Unless Kitagawa Gao conveyed his thoughts, he would not pay any attention to them. He was just waiting for the so-called opportunity to come.
Taking over the music production of this popular group, Meimei counted the money until her hands were full.
I had a plan in my mind. This time I came to the meeting with the producers of NTV, but I just said some clichés. Everything was subject to the opinions of the TV station and Johnny. I was only responsible for being a good program consultant.
Anyway, Keiko Fujishima is also in the same production team.
She participated in the entire production of TOKIO's NTV program, and this group was essentially branded as a Mary group.
The popularity of the Heike faction, which failed in their debut, is sluggish. They have not released a single for nearly a year. They have essentially entered a state of abandonment. The four members also have their own thoughts. Matsumoto Jiro wholeheartedly wants to become a singer, but the idol of the Heike faction
His identity essentially ruined his dream. Another member, Toru Ishikawa, was tired of working in the entertainment industry and wanted to retire.
The group that was once formed temporarily lacked tacit understanding among the members and had different goals, so it was inevitable to split.
Kitagawa Kuo acquiesced to the dissolution of the Heike faction and two members to withdraw from the club. The other two members, Nagano Hiroshi and Yamaguchi Tatsuya, were temporarily active as solo artists. Kitagawa Marie did not forget to issue a banning order - even though Matsumoto Jiro was a small role.
.
Jason plays the good guy, while Marissa plays the role of a shrew who gives arbitrary orders to the outside world. The two siblings work together well.
With the Heike faction having such a failure before them, Fujishima Keiko has obviously restrained herself a lot on TOKIO's side.
The production meeting was over, and Shinichi Iwahashi had no intention of staying for long. Before leaving, he had a routine greeting with the producer of NTV. Keiko Fujishima stood a little further away, watching Shinichi Iwahashi leisurely, and walked up: "Iwahashi
Bridge Sang.”
During these days of training on the TV station, Keiko Fujishima also looks like a professional woman, unlike when she first met her, where all her emotions were exposed.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled: "Juli-san, our red pine, thank you for taking care of us."
Akamatsu Haruko who was following him heard this and bowed slightly to Fujishima Keiko.
Listening to Iwahashi Shinichi talking about Akamatsu Haruko, Fujishima Keiko also smiled, but she felt tired in her heart and knew that she shouldn't stay here for a long time.
On the GENZO side, first Iijima Michi was sent over, and then Akamatsu Haruko. Iijima Michi, a woman as inconspicuous as a roadside stone, made Fujishima Keiko uncomfortable, but with Akamatsu Haruko's outstanding ability
As a real daughter, Keiko Fujishima felt an unspeakable feeling of being suppressed in her heart. She really couldn’t tell which of the two women made her feel more uncomfortable.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fujishima Keiko was suppressed by Akamatsu Haruko, and went back to tell her mother that Iijima Mitochi and Akamatsu Haruko were two very different but equally unpleasant women.
Even Kitagawa Mari was quite dissatisfied with Iwahashi Shinichi and that Iijima Sanchi. However, since Iwahashi Shinichi was a figure in the industry and was a guest of Kitagawa Kuo, they could only recommend him as deaf and mute.
But what's even more subtle is that Mitsuo Iijima was seconded to Fuji TV shortly after leaving TOKIO. Not only that, he recently participated in the production of SMAP's variety show, and it is said that he takes great care of SMAP.
Iwahashi Shinichi was deliberately targeted, but Kitagawa Kao personally asked him to produce TOKIO, and Akamatsu Haruko who was sent was one of his confidants. This matter is well known in the industry. Not only cannot it be said that he was deliberately targeted, but he must also thank him for his regard for Japan.
Nice collaboration.
As for Mitsuo Iijima, he was recommended by Masatoshi Sakai to Masaki Yoshida. After training in the record company, he returned to Masaki Yoshida, and he was impeccable. She had dealt with Johnny when she was following Shinichi Iwahashi.
, she took care of the miserable little idol on the TV station, so she should be praised for remembering her old love.
Iwahashi-san, who seems to be personable and will never be an enemy of anyone, is this intentional or accidental?
Fujishima Keiko couldn't guess what Iwahashi Shinichi was planning, let alone whether her prejudice against Iijima Sanchi would affect his uncle's judgment if it spread to his ears.
…
Akamatsu Haruko followed Iwahashi Shinichi from NTV and got into the car. Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her calm face and couldn't help but smile.
Compared with this eldest lady, the eldest lady just now has really limited strategies.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Fujishima Keiko had interacted with each other several times, and they knew better.
"TOKIO will not debut at least this year... Next, they may not be as comfortable as they are now, and they will have to experience the feeling of being tortured by variety shows." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
He said these words with a smile, which made Akamatsu Haruko feel that this situation was a bit funny. She said "yes" and thought for a while, "Will doing this affect their image in the minds of the audience?"
It took a lot of effort to leave the public with the impression of a "band that studies music seriously" through the accumulation of performances in the program.
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "As long as the established image is solid enough, it won't be destroyed so easily. Next, it depends on whether they broaden their own path or whether they have to get the same thing."
These are things that Johnny’s side needs to consider and TOKIO’s side needs to work hard for.
"Haruko, you are still suitable for participating in music production..." Shinichi Iwahashi thought carefully.
Akamatsu Haruko replied cleverly: "If it refers to TOKIO, I think I am not involved in TV production."
Iwahashi Shinichi joked with her: "If it is written in the resume, then forget it."
Unlike Akamatsu Haruko, Iijima Mitochi is good at dealing with people and is at home in a place like a TV station. Not only that, she can also wait for the opportunity and naturally participate in SMAP's program plan. When planning the program, she holds the "key points"
The concept of "planning with the combination as the center" has really achieved results.
During the time when SMAP was assigned to Fuji TV, the group did not even have a dedicated manager. Now that the group has started to improve, whether they will become a top-notch group or just become a popular idol depends on what happens next.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought to himself that by now, we have gradually reached that intersection.
…
On this day, Nagase Tomoya did not go to school.
Ayumi Hamasaki noticed that Nagase Tomoya's desk was empty, and the thought "Sure enough," came to her mind. In the morning, she brought up Nagase Tomoya's name as a topic without permission, so she would pay extra attention to Nagase Tomoya.
reason.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi said that he wanted to meet with TOKIO's producer today, which was why Hamasaki Ayumi revealed such an idea.
He is absent from class from time to time. In ordinary schools, he is a bad boy. But in Tokyo's arts classes, it is a sign of a bright future.
From this point of view, Hamasaki, who has gone to school on time every day since entering school and never missed a class, is not only a person who seems to have no future and only dreams of becoming a star, but also a good student.
Thinking that he was like a good student, Hamasaki felt a little boring, and there was a small fire in his heart that was about to start, thinking that he was not that kind of a good boy.
When I was in Fukuoka, I was a delinquent girl. When I came to Tokyo, I also wanted to cause some trouble for others.
When the thought of causing trouble came to her mind, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
