(Additional update for alliance leader Qingshi Apple Pie)
From Shinichi Iwahashi's point of view, this is a good thing. Likewise, for the production team, this is also good news.
However, we cannot say these words directly. We still need to listen to the statements of record company representatives first.
"This is a good thing." The first person to speak was a representative from CBS and Sony. "Actually, the more companies involved, the higher the probability of the plan's success. Putting eggs in several baskets is not a good thing. "
Even if one King is released every two months, there will be six King broadcasts in a year, not to mention that the actual situation may be more than that. There are also a group of bands that have obtained the right to publish the film every week, so the total is almost fifty groups.
If 20 of the 50 sets can sell 10,000 copies, this is a huge number. If it is digested by just a few current record companies, it will only lead to indigestion.
A record company can only have a limited number of newcomers to promote at the same time.
"However, there is a problem here." The person who spoke this time was the representative of Victory Records. "Although it is good to increase the participation of the industry, as those who supported this program at the beginning, we hope to get corresponding guarantees. .”
This meaning is also very clear. At the beginning, the program was just a prototype, and no one was optimistic about it. The company sitting here now chose to join in under such circumstances and supported this program. The credit is not to say big, but it is not small. It must be There are some privileges, such as priority in selecting people and so on.
However, before Shinichi Iwahashi spoke, it was CBS Sony's representative who spoke first, and what he said was still objectionable, "I think this thing of 'priority' should not exist."
The words of the CBS Sony representative actually won the heart of Shinichi Iwahashi. However, as the first record company to join in, it is remarkable that the position of the record company can be so clear-headed and decisive.
"Why?" the Victory Records representative asked.
"If 'priority' is introduced, then what's the point of letting other companies participate? That's meaningless." This is the first time that a representative of CBS and Sony came to the meeting today. This is a person who is not yet thirty years old. A fat young man.
"I think that to win the favor of excellent bands, you should show enough sincerity and come up with a plan that can attract them to join, rather than this first-come, first-served 'priority'." CBS Sony's representative said to the point.
If the record company that participates first has priority, then it would be meaningless to introduce other record companies, because they are destined to only pick the rest. For amateur bands, it was still difficult when there were only a few record companies to choose from. On the other hand, if there are many choices, but their fate must be handed over to certain record companies first, the contestants will have distrust in the program and the company.
Representatives from CBS and Sony saw the shortcomings of "priority" at a glance and pointed them out.
"This..." The representative of Victory Records hesitated.
"I think this is correct." The person who spoke this time was the representative of amuse. "Obviously, the deeper the industry's involvement, the more attention it will pay to the program. This kind of attention is beneficial to the bands. Even the people we sign will benefit..."
"CBS Sony..." the representative of AMUSE glanced at the name brand in front of him, "Hirai-san, he is right about one thing. To gain the favor of excellent bands, 'priority' is meaningless. After all, Even if we are the only ones involved, when we choose a band, the band has the right to refuse, which is not 100% guaranteed."
At this point, it's pretty much decided.
From beginning to end, Watanabe Manyumi, as the producer and investor of the program, did not say a word. However, when Shinichi Iwahashi exchanged glances with her, he could also read his disapproval of "priority" in her eyes.
To put it bluntly, talent shows must be fair.
Not only must the bands competing be fair, but when dealing with signing issues, companies must also be fair. Otherwise, the company with priority will act recklessly, and the company with the last pick will not be willing to pick the rest, and all will be chaos.
.
"That's... okay. I take back what I just said, I'm sorry." The representative of Victory Entertainment also reacted quickly. Since the interests and risks have been revealed, he is not stupid.
This little episode was revealed as the representative of Victory Entertainment bowed his head.
However, the news brought by the production team and the proposal from the representative of Victory Entertainment just now gave Shinichi Iwahashi an idea. He suggested: "For the next live broadcast, representatives from record companies and offices will also be invited
Let’s sit behind the censor.”
"Oh?" Everyone in the conference room focused their attention on him.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't mind being the center of attention, and explained in a leisurely manner: "Having them here just proves that we keep our word and will really release records for the band and give them a chance to sign a contract."
Just for this?
Of course it's not just for this.
"Not only that," Shinichi Iwahashi still had a tactic in mind, "I also want to explain to the band and the audience that not only are the amateur bands constantly changing, but so are the representatives from the record companies and offices sitting in the audience.
"
"Since several record companies are interested in our program, then we should open the door to the audience for them. If they think there are talents they need here, then submit the application and wait for review
If you go behind the members and sit there, you will have the opportunity to participate in the fight for the winner... Of course, it is equal."
"Similarly, if you think joining is a mistake and there is no need to stay here anymore, you can choose to quit. In every program, not only the bands on stage are changing, but also the representatives off the stage are constantly changing."
Shinichi Iwahashi said.
In this way, no one can guess what will happen when the next episode of the show starts.
Halfway through Shinichi Iwahashi's proposal, the atmosphere in the conference room changed. When he fully expressed his idea, the staff sitting here were all shocked.
"This idea..."
So bold, but so powerful at the same time.
The production team was shocked by the idea proposed by Shinichi Iwahashi. This was simply exposing the lifeblood of the program to the public.
But then I think about it, and I feel a kind of excitement in this uncertainty and constant change.
The show became better and better, attracting more and more industry figures. The show started selecting bands from the first few record companies, and in turn, the record companies tried their best to get the bands to join.
However, if the program gets worse and worse, it will have the opposite effect and directly amplify the decline in front of the audience.
It's simply an all-or-nothing gamble.
How much self-confidence do you need to come up with such an idea?
