Ninety-nine percent of college students who aim to work in a television station choose Fuji TV as their first choice. Next, they are chosen in turn by the three major stations. In the end, none of them want to go to TV Asahi and TV Tokyo.
TV Asahi, which cannot compete for first or second place in ratings, and has nothing to do with third place, is after all ranked fourth after the three big guys, and the program schedule is not available to just anyone, but compared to the previous
Three big mountains are relatively easy.
Producer Fujimoto praised the project very much, and Watanabe Manyumi took the opportunity to introduce Shinichi Iwahashi to him, explaining to Fujimoto that the "Iwabashi" who wrote the project was the Iwahashi in front of him.
Although she did not become Watanabe Manyumi's subordinate, which caused her to fall into a trap, Watanabe Manyumi has been trying her best to cultivate Iwahashi Shinichi, introducing him to people from all walks of life, even learning golf (in his opinion)
He keeps every little thing in mind and is a model former boss and model partner.
After learning about this, producer Fujimoto couldn't help but look at him with admiration, and even his attitude changed.
In the beginning, he was kind to Watanabe Wan Yumi, but he didn't pay much attention to the young man who came with her. When the ability and title could not be written on his face, his age and appearance were the criteria for judgment.
However, when Watanabe Manyumi revealed his identity, his age, which originally made him look down upon by Fujimoto, turned to make Fujimoto praise him.
"Iwahashi-kun is really young and promising."
Iwahashi Shinichi showed a professional smile and said, "You've given me the award."
"This is not an award." Fujimoto said, "Although our station has not launched a talent show that has created a buzz, we are still aware of the talent shows from other stations. The talent show has become very mature up to now. I never expected that it could still be on this channel.
It is not easy to invent new ideas based on the basics. However, it is even more difficult to innovate on old things.”
After the business promotion was over, the topic continued.
After deliberation, the production department of TV Asahi accepted the talent show with an overwhelming majority vote, and this was on the premise that there would be no interference or changes to the existing content.
In order to ensure its right to speak, Watanabe Manyumi's u-miz borne a considerable part of the production costs. Being independent from Watanabe Productions is considered a separation. Our company has allocated a lot of money, so it is no problem to invest in a program.
.
Amuse and Kenyin have also joined, and the production funds are sufficient. It requires money and people. TV Asahi is interested in this project, and they have not yet produced a talent show that brings topicality.
On the other hand, they don't have any decent programs in the late night slot. Because the pressure on ratings is relatively low, they can make bold attempts. The so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.
As for the time slot, it has been previously concluded that programs that require public participation cannot be done too late at night. Likewise, because they need to express "personality", such as when students have just come home from school at four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
It doesn't work during the time period. If you choose this time period, you might receive a complaint letter.
Parents in this book have a lot to do.
After consultation, a time period of 11:40 to 12:20 minutes was given on Saturday night.
Although it was late at night, it was not too late at night, and it was Saturday carnival night. At this point, people who were eating, drinking and having fun outside had almost returned home. It was the right time to drink some wine and watch TV after taking a shower.
Among the late-night slots, it is considered a top-notch slot.
What has been put forward at this stage is just a project. To make the program happen, TV Asahi must first form a production team for this program. As the organizer, e and Kenyin each send representatives to participate in the discussion meeting to ensure the dissemination and communication of opinions.
, and then invite specialized script writers to join the group to write specific scripts.
The entertainment industry is a place where everyone performs their own duties. It is okay for one person to take charge of the overall situation, but it is difficult to do everything personally.
After the production team is established, since it is a talent show, there must be judges and a host. These are all problems that need to be solved. The judges must be influential in the music industry and have experience in producing bands. Not only that, they must also be the main
"Personality", the good old judge is not suitable, so it is quite troublesome to choose.
TV stations and offices brainstorm suitable candidates, make a list, and then use the elimination method to select.
Hosts are chosen more carefully. Basically, depending on which host you choose, the public will have a preconceived idea of the program based on the host's previous program style.
Not only that, since it is necessary to focus on "personality" and not let the band condense their personality, but also to select judges with personality. In order to avoid the situation of over-personality and fight on the spot, the host must not only string together the entire program process, but also become a personality.
A buffer between collisions with personalities.
In this way, it would be impossible not to choose a powerful host to shock the audience.
As for the choice of program host, Amuse's President Yoyoshi Ohri recommended Yuji Miyake.
This person is a rakugo artist and has his own troupe called Supereen Tritheater. He is a TV host, performs in stage plays, and performs in movies. He is very important in the industry.
As for why Osato Yokichi can recommend this TV giant to be the host, it is because Amuse is responsible for Miyake Yuji's own management appointments and his theater troupe's performance matters... In other words, he is one of his own.
For a late-night talent show, hiring a big-name host was originally a bit of a luxury, but because he had roped in Amuse, everything was easy to negotiate, so Miyake Yuji agreed to take on the show.
Miyake Yuji has excellent hosting skills and first-class field control skills. He is a very good candidate to be the host. Not only that, he himself has a wide range of interests in music. He just caught up with the popularity of groupsounds when he was a student. He plays guitar and piano very well and has professional knowledge.
There is no doubt about it.
It can be said to be an excellent candidate.
The host decided it was a smooth process, with almost no disturbance. As for the judges, it was just a game of elimination that seemed a little long.
On the one hand, we must first determine the competent judges, and on the other hand, we must obtain the other party's consent after finalizing.
The first candidate listed was music producer Masahide Sakuma, who was originally from a band, but later moved behind the scenes and also worked as a producer for the band bo?wy.
The band bo?wy is extremely popular nowadays. It can be said that all Japanese rock fans regard it as a god-like band at this stage. Although they have not existed for a long time, their influence among young people is very huge.
powerful.
Nowadays, in the underground music circle, there are countless underground bands that imitate their clothing styles and music forms. Their music is sharp and avant-garde, their stage performance style is bold and novel, and their visual impact is extremely strong, which can be said to be extraordinary charm.
The souls of the band are vocalist Kyosuke Himuro and guitarist Tonayasu Hotei, and most of the lyrics and music were written by these two people.
The name Iwahashi Shinichi of Hotei Tonayasu is quite impressive. On the one hand, this surname is very memorable. On the other hand, I vaguely remember seeing the gossip news that he had cheated on someone with colorectal cancer... I won't go into it.
Interestingly, although they work well together in the same band, the personalities of these two geniuses are completely incompatible.
Think about it carefully, the composition of a four-person band, two souls who collaborate to write songs, a relationship that they dislike but deeply love each other, and a trend-setting music style...the Japanese Beatles?
No matter what, bo?wy is undoubtedly a genius. Sakuma Masahide, who can serve as the producer of bo?wy, has been recognized as a genius. It is self-evident how awesome he is.
Taking advantage of bo?wy's influence in the underground music circle, if their producer can serve as a judge, the effect goes without saying.
Sakuma Masahide became the first finalized judge candidate. After deciding to invite him, I started to contact him. However, when I approached him for the first time, Sakuma Masahide simply rejected him.
"I don't know what TV show, I'm the producer behind the scenes," he said.
This kind of thing sometimes has nothing to do with big names or not. Some behind-the-scenes workers are reluctant to appear in front of the TV. Whether they hate TV or not is another matter. There is also a bit of "professional ethics" in it.
In the Japanese entertainment industry, which has a clear division of labor, there are still many people behind the scenes who abide by the rules and do not come to the stage.
Not only the people behind the scenes, but also the band bo?wy, while maintaining a hardcore image, rarely appear in front of the TV.
This is not to deliberately pretend to be cool and exclude those kinds of studio bands. For the band, their greatest charm is "live", with ever-changing arrangements and improvisations, and stylized live performances, which always make the fans in attendance look forward to it.
.
It can be said that reducing TV appearances to maintain a sense of mystery, while relying on special live performances to develop fans, can be said to be a strategy, but at the same time, it is also the band's pursuit.
However, in this way, some bands who imitate them have to learn the whole set, and they also think that orthodox rock bands should be less on TV. Little do they know that bo?wy is really cool, but most of the people who imitate them are just pretending to be cool.
.
After being rejected once, the production team was not discouraged. It was certainly difficult to invite this producer to appear, but after being rejected once, the need to work hard did not stop.
It’s funny to say, Sangu Thatched Cottage wasn’t said by Iwahashi Shinichi, it was the staff of the production team who said it first, saying that although Sakuma Masahide refused, it was not that there was no room for maneuver at all, and it was fashionable to give up on him now.
Morning, there is still a need to fight again.
Then, he gave Uncle Liu Huang a chestnut and said that he should at least visit the thatched cottage three times.
Iwahashi Shinichi, a former veteran Three Kingdoms player, was sitting in the conference room at the time. When he heard this sentence, he sincerely expressed his feelings for the Japanese people's love for the Three Kingdoms.
However, what he said may not be unreasonable. Masahide Sakuma is indeed an excellent candidate. He not only has style and ability, but also has influence. If you don't fight until the end, you will give up after being rejected once, and you will give up too quickly.
Therefore, the production team decided to try to negotiate with Masahide Sakuma again.
In ancient times, Uncle Liu visited the thatched cottage three times... Although the production team did not have Han Dynasty to support them, fortunately, Sakuma Masahide was not able to scold anyone.
…
The judging system is usually three-person. Masahide Sakuma was first placed there to take up the next spot, and the production team began to discuss the other two judging candidates.
Among the nominees is producer Ken Yoshida, who is rather mysterious. The record company he belongs to is a folk-focused label, but he is not doing his job properly. He is very interested in idol songs and rock, and has served as a producer in many music programs.
The music team is very wild.
Not only that, he is also a well-known venomous tongue in the industry, and his words are sharp and to the point. If he is invited to provoke conflicts with the band, the effect will probably be very good.
The other one is arranger and producer Ginji Ito, whose life trajectory is similar to that of Masahide Sakuma. He first formed a band, then debuted as a soloist, and then slowly retreated behind the scenes to become a well-known producer in the industry.
There is also a full-time music producer named Yueguang Meiliang. He was originally the vice president of a music production company called Being. Later, because he did not agree with the company's philosophy, he set up his own business and specialized in working as a producer for rock bands. He has rich experience.
Seeing that it was from a music production company, Iwahashi Shinichi paid special attention. This person was nominated as a candidate for Sakuma Masahide. If the main candidate is really unavailable, he will be contacted to fill in at that time.
After the production team was established, as the representative of Genzo, he had a name in the team. When there were meetings, he would go there to listen. Watanabe Manyumi's u-miz sent another representative to join the team, but even so, every time
After the meeting, Watanabe Manyumi would call him and ask him what he thought.
Since quitting the company and becoming independent, he has returned to the semi-underground and stayed away from the surface waves. He has almost never set foot on a TV station. But now, because he has to attend meetings, during this period, Iwahashi Shinichi once again leads a life of reporting for TV Asahi from time to time.
That day was Thursday. He came to the TV station for a meeting, and unexpectedly met Nakamori Akina again.
TV Asahi launched a new music program "Musicstation" last year, which is broadcast every Friday night during prime time. It is now a music program promoted by TV Asahi.
The budget is sufficient and the guest lineup is good. The host was first served by Hiroshi Sekiguchi, and this year it was adjusted and replaced by the more famous Tamori. The program focuses on live broadcast, so in order not to make mistakes during the live broadcast, it is often one or two times in advance.
I went to the TV station to attend a rehearsal the next day.
The two met unexpectedly in the stairwell, their eyes met, and both of them looked unnatural for a moment.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought to himself that the day he witnessed her family dispute had not been long ago. So he looked away, preparing to say hello and leave as if nothing had happened.
As a result, before he spoke, it was Akina Nakamori who greeted him first: "Thank you for your hard work, Iwahashi-san."
The person following her today was not the male agent she had met several times before, but a young girl in her twenties who looked a little unfamiliar, like a newcomer.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Iwahashi Shinichi was robbed by her, so he also replied.
