At the beginning of this meeting, it was first confirmed that Tokuma Records and Polystar Records would appear in the next program.
Even before the second episode of the program was broadcast, when the production team and the three record companies that had previously been interested in participating explained that a free entry and exit system would be introduced in the new episode of the program, the interest there increased a lot.
For no other reason than this new system gives record companies greater freedom and makes them less afraid of failure.
However, neither party is stupid.
The record company still has to wait and see the ratings of the second period first, while the production team wants to use them as a reserve force. Both parties are thinking of their own little ninety-nine, and they will not make a conclusion until the ratings of the second period come out.
Ratings higher than those of the first episode prove that the program has the potential to retain old viewers and attract new viewers. The highest ratings in an instant prove the attention of the program. Programs that are on the rise have the attraction to participate.
Not only record companies, offices, but also the program's advertising sponsors, as the ratings come out, they gain the confidence to negotiate with advertisers.
Sponsors can not only become financial sponsors, for example, the song of the winning band in the show may have the opportunity to be used as the advertising song of the advertiser. In this way, the program will have influence.
When Human Chair won the first week, the program team began to consciously adjust the bands that would compete next and arrange a band that could challenge them.
This is not a behind-the-scenes operation, but an adjustment strategy, or in other words, the invisible script mentioned from the beginning.
The reason for doing this is to take into account the freshness and acceptance of the public.
The style of heavy metal is very impactful, but for the general audience, it is still the type of music that people who like it like it very much, but people who don't like it just think it is very noisy.
The topic level needs to be updated and the freshness needs to be maintained.
The Human Chair can come up with something that raises the audience's expectations and freshness in every issue, if they are an inexhaustible treasure mine. Otherwise, they will be defeated by new and fresh music.
Therefore, rather than saying that this is an intentional operation by the production team, it is better to say that they are increasing the difficulty of their challenge.
Playing a game, the higher the level, the more powerful the boss will be.

After the meeting, before Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Wan Yumi said hello to Nozaki Kenichiro, Nozaki Kenichiro came to them first and took the initiative to talk to them. This played into the plan of the two of them.
After chatting for a while, it was getting late, so Watanabe Mayumi asked the two of them if they wanted to have lunch together. Iwahashi Shinichi was sure not to be left behind, and Nozaki Kenichiro agreed readily.
So Watanabe Mayumi called a restaurant she was familiar with.
Kenichiro Nozaki volunteered to participate in the show as a representative of the firm. He wanted to get in touch with Shinichi Iwahashi and Manumi Watanabe to see what they would do next.
To be precise, I want to know what kind of hands Iwahashi Shinichi has and what kind of excellence he has.
Shinichi Iwahashi wanted to participate in the Grand Prize, and his enthusiasm also inspired Watanabe Manyumi.
Watanabe Manyumi helped him make an appointment with Nozaki Kenichiro mostly out of curiosity to know what his plans were.
It was noon and there was no wine on the table.
The three of them were chatting while eating, and Watanabe Manyumi raised the topic, "The record sales settlement day is coming soon, and I'm afraid Akina-san will still win this year's Grand Prize."
"If Akina-san can really win the grand prize, he will become an unprecedented three consecutive champions." Watanabe Mayumi smiled, "Nozaki-kun, this matter can be written into the development history of your office."
After hearing this, Kenichiro Nozaki shook his head with a smile, "I'm not sure yet. Three consecutive wins is not an easy thing. For us, even two consecutive wins is satisfying enough and can be written into the history of the firm's development.
Already."
Although he didn't say it directly, he listened and knew that he was not very enthusiastic about the three consecutive championships. Kenichiro Nozaki's attitude can also be said to represent Kenyin's attitude.
"Speaking of which, Kondo-san from Johnny's is also very active in the Grand Prize this year. Nakamori-san and Kondo-san are lovers, and they might make a move for Kondo-san." Kenichiro Nozaki opened his eyes and told lies.
It’s obvious to all that Kondo Masahiko has done well this year, and it’s probably a fantasy to win a big award based on his performance.
"Can Akina-san give in?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked knowingly.
"It's hard to say. However, Warner Pioneer's director Kosugi Riuzo is also a director of Johnny's. It seems that he is also responsible for part of Kondo-san's management affairs." Kenichiro Nozaki also mentioned some information that Shinichi Iwahashi didn't know.
Riuzo Kosugi is a well-known figure in the recording industry and serves as a consultant for several companies. A few years ago, he was invited by Kitagawa to serve as a director of Johnny's. Thanks to him, he also brought some resources to Johnny's.
At that time, Akina Nakamori was on the rise after her debut, and Masahiko Kondo was also a top male idol. The movie "Love: Departure" they collaborated with had something to do with the promotion of Riuzo Kosugi.
In fact, the movie did bring a lot of buzz to the popular idols' fake acting.
As a result, within a few years, not only the original style of officialdom forcing the same person to die completely collapsed, but also the popularity situation between the two people dropped completely. Nakamori Akina went from a popular idol to Nakamori Peerless Nakamori, while Kondo Masahiko's popularity dropped.
But I got on the big slide.
"Nakamori-san trusts Director Kosugi very much. If he makes peace, maybe she will agree." Kenichiro Nozaki does not think it is a serious matter that their singer is "incited to rebel" by others.
"In that case, the grand prize will probably be a competition between Itsuki-san and Kondo-san." Kenichiro Nozaki seemed like an outsider.
However, there are some things that don’t need to be said out loud, and everyone knows it in their hearts. Kenichiro Nozaki behaved so calmly, not because he thought that if Nakamori Akina withdraws, the grand prize will be given to Kondo Masahiko.
Although Johnny's is coming fiercely, it is too difficult to make up for the huge gap. Therefore, letting Nakamori Akina withdraw seems to be making way for Johnny's, but it is actually selling favors to the enka faction.
The Enka faction wanted to use Johnny's hand to ban Nakamori Akina. Kenin neither wanted to offend the enge nor did he want to conflict with Johnny, so he seemed to give the initiative to Nakamori Akina, but in fact he tacitly allowed outsiders to instigate her rebellion.
As an agency, they only consider themselves and pass the problem off to the singer. With Akina Nakamori's personality, I figured out that their approach may cause them to lose trust in the agency.
However, although the enka faction has clever calculations and tries to borrow a knife to kill people, they may not be able to get what they want. The fishermen get the benefit of the snipe and the clam, and it is not certain who the real fisherman is.
Thinking of this, Shinichi Iwahashi said: "Nozaki-san is right, everything is not yet accurate."
