Entering the conference room, more than half of the production team had already arrived. Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi were not too early, but they were not the last either.
After saying hello, they sat down in their respective seats.
Except for the two of them, everyone present tonight is a staff member of TV Asahi. No one from Amuse or Kenyin attended.
Speaking of which, after watching the performance videos of so many bands at one time, there must be some that are worth cultivating at first glance. However, even so, whether it is Iwahashi Shinichi or Watanabe Manyumi, or the other two agencies,
No one would think of contacting him privately in advance to win over the person first.
To put it bluntly, this program is created to create popularity, and then take advantage of this popularity to promote people. What is needed is immediate combat power. Therefore, no one will make unnecessary efforts to seize the newcomers first.
It is because of this tacit understanding that we can trust each other and cooperation can continue.
Not long after Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe arrived, everyone arrived and the review officially began. There was special equipment in the conference room, and the staff responsible for changing the video tapes put the tapes into the video recorder.
Everyone sitting at the bottom wrote down their thoughts on each band on paper for discussion later.
According to the assumption, during TV performances, what is left to amateur bands is a performance mechanism called "three-minute complete performance." As the name suggests, after the band takes the stage, they must ensure that their performance is not criticized by the judges during these three minutes.
The break ends.
However, at this stage of the review, everyone only has thirty seconds to one minute of time left for the band. Basically, it is enough to watch a little bit and get a general understanding of their style and composition.
After all, no one here cares about which band has a higher standard, which band is the favorite to win, or which band is so bad that it makes people hate it.
It is the judges' business to review the level, decide the champion, and make professional comments.
What the program team cares about is the program effect and the ratings.
…
The scope of this review is limited to amateur bands in the Tokyo area. Due to the problem of the broadcast scope of the TV station, after the program is broadcast, it has to be delayed for a week or two before it is broadcast on local TV.
Therefore, it is a bit premature to start using the power of networked television networks to cooperate with local broadcasting bureaus. While limited funds are consumed early, the response to the program is still uncertain.
Therefore, it is better to take root in the Tokyo area. Anyway, a quarter of the country's people are here. As long as there is a certain standard and a band that aspires to debut in the mainstream, 80% of them will choose to come to Beijing. As for the other things, wait until the show starts and then depend on the effect and response.
The adjustment is.
Even if it is a quick and simple review, it will take a considerable amount of time to go through all the video tapes, change the tapes, and write down your thoughts.
After watching the video, everyone will express their opinions and propose the suitable band lineup in their mind. We can't let the gods fight in the first period, which will lead to weak follow-up, and we can't let the first period have no highlights.
Everything is centered around the selection criteria of "personality, memory, and contrast" proposed by Iwahashi Shinichi. Because of this, a band that is quite satisfactory, can't fault anything but is not interesting at all.
On the contrary, those who are the first to be excluded, while those who are distinctive in terms of personnel composition or style, receive extra attention.
"Look at this, a human chair."
"The name of the band alone is very impactful. It is a masterpiece of Mr. Edogawa Ranpo. The appearance is also very attractive..."
In the eyes of ordinary viewers, the Human Chair seems to be beyond the scope of "common sense". Such a band, at first glance, is extremely impactful. At the same time, it also echoes the "rich and diverse elements" proposed by the program
.
"A band composed entirely of female high school students, performing in sailor uniforms."
"Although the quality is a bit low, it can be put in."
Since there is only one winner in each episode, the contestants in that episode secretly have their own division of labor, some are eye-catching, some are evenly matched, and of course, some are purely funny.
"This one doesn't work. The music style is mediocre, but the appearance actually imitates the Beatles."
"pass."
As time passed, one band after another was selected.
Considering the uncertainty of the show, there may be too many gods fighting, playing in full for three minutes, or kneeling down and being eliminated immediately, and various situations, so the number of participants for one game is about twelve groups, leaving room for those who are short-handed.
Come with plenty of spare time.
"Then the next one..."
First, they watched a lot of video tapes, and then discussed it during the night shift. Everyone's mood was not very high. Although the bands in the video tapes were all full of enthusiasm, the staff in the conference room all had serious faces, as if
Ordinary people who received free tickets for the concert and didn't even bother to open their doors.
This is easy to understand. I am very excited when watching a movie starting with "a", but if I am a staff member on the set watching the live broadcast every day, the feeling is similar to watching dogs and dogs fighting each other.
"bolan, a two-person boy band from Tunghai University."
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while, "You can also choose them to participate." This was the tone of making up for the number.
However, at this point, it was already the end, and the band had almost made their decision. Whether Bolan was a variable or just a make-up, it didn't matter much. Everyone had no objections and let them in.
The review started at 7:30 pm and ended at 11 pm.
The work of a TV station is like this. There is no fixed time. As a producer, it is common for the day and night to be reversed. If you happen to be in charge of a morning program, it is common for you to be on call at three o'clock in the morning.
Therefore, a career like a female anchor is okay when you are single. Once you get married, in a social atmosphere where the wife has to take care of the whole family, if you go to the TV station to prepare a program at three o'clock, the husband will definitely protest.
There is no other choice but to quit the agency as soon as they get married, and at most become a freelance anchor. Of course, because they are beautiful, intellectual, and graduated from prestigious universities, the market value of female anchors in the marriage market is quite high.
After the review was over, because it was too late and too tired, the reception was waived and everyone went back to their homes.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi left the conference room together. Watanabe Manyumi asked him, "Do you want to go home directly?"
She picked him up when he came here, and now that he is back, it seems that he still has to send her back.
Generally speaking, at night, men would send their women home, but with Shinichi Iwahashi and her, everything was reversed. Watanabe Mayumi taught him how to play golf.
Although he has become a partner from a superior to a subordinate, the script for the heroine in Shinichi Iwahashi's hands has never changed.
Iwahashi Shinichi did not answer immediately. After thinking for a while, he asked her: "Do you have other plans?"
