The backstage of the youth hall was in a mess, with staff rushing back and forth in the corridor.
Although I only sang one and a half songs today, the recording process of the entire program lasted four hours. Most of the time, I was either a background wallflower or waiting in the lounge.
Time is money. Time spent on the streets is less valuable.
Akiko Matsumoto has been in the industry for three years, but she has never become popular. She has to do her own makeup when working, let alone have her own lounge to use. As she said before, when she gets backstage, she has to share a room with three or four other female idols.
lounge.
Outside the lounge, there are printed name tags posted, four from right to left, with the most senior Matsumoto Akiko on the far right.
Qualifications are sometimes a sign of high moral standing, and sometimes they are just an "outdated old woman." When people go to higher places, it's really bitter for those who don't go up and stay where they are.
The idol himself was like this, but as for his manager, he had no choice but to wait in the corridor, staring at each other with the managers of three or four other female idols.
According to the rules in the entertainment industry, greeting is the first priority. When juniors meet their seniors, the most basic etiquette is to say hello. In the lounge where Matsumoto Akiko is staying, she is the senior one, although she is also the junior.
She is the least popular.
But as soon as she entered, the two little idols who arrived first had to stand up and bow to her.
Matsumoto Akiko returned the favor politely, found a seat and sat down, opened the script and confirmed the recording process.
In the rest room, everyone did not offend each other until a while later, a loach was put into the water.
Greeting is an overt rule in the entertainment industry, and snobbishness is probably a hidden rule in the entertainment industry. Although there are people who strictly abide by the rules and treat her as a senior, there are also people who have a perfunctory attitude.
After a while, the door to the lounge was pushed open again.
The one who came in this time was Asako Shiraishi, a member of the Kitten Club that has become a social phenomenon.
For any large group, depending on the popularity among the members, it is inevitable that they will be divided into various levels, including the top, the backbone, and the bottom.
Among the Kitten Club, the four most popular ones are undoubtedly Nitta Eri, Kunisei Sayuri, Kawai Sonoko, and Takai Masiko.
Not long ago, these people were ordinary high school students who came to the show with a playful attitude, but inexplicably became big stars all of a sudden.
If these four most popular King Kongs appear on a TV station, they will definitely receive very high-level treatment. Heroes don’t care about their origins, and their popularity determines everything. It’s up to you what you think in your heart, but at least on the surface, they have what they should have.
Top is treated as a big star, and the other members are not treated as well. Asako Shiraishi's popularity is not enough for her to enjoy the treatment of a big star, so now she shares a lounge with other idols.
However, the title of "Member of the Kitten Club" was dazzling to others, and she herself was dazzled, feeling uneasy.
Ordinarily, the dignity of seniors is not allowed to be offended, whether it is a popular one or a past one.
There must be a set of order in the entertainment industry, because juniors will become seniors, and people who are popular will have their day. Even those who have never been popular, no one can guarantee that they will not be popular in the future or change careers.
Become the superior in other positions.
Even if it is to ensure that you will not suffer bad treatment in the future, you should maintain enough respect when treating your seniors.
However, Asako Shiraishi, who was born in the Kitten Club, does not understand this. If you look at the reason, it is because it is too easy for amateur idols like the Kitten Club to become popular.
In the past, artists carefully selected by agencies and record companies, before their debut, they were taken to meet various people, served tea and water at parties, participated in unknown programs, and were taught how to behave by their seniors.
The debut press conference is going to be a hard life for a while.
But the members of the Kitten Club skipped all the procedures before becoming popular and arrived directly overnight. Others slowly moved forward from 0, but they were different, they went directly from 0 to 100.
Her sudden fame gave her the feeling that "the entertainment world is easy", so she would not think about such things as "being famous for a hundred days". What's more, the girls participating in the audition may just be out of fun.
For the vanity of being able to be on TV, and even the wish to see handsome guys in the entertainment industry working hard to sacrifice themselves.
Most of these newcomers who suddenly broke in lack a basic sincerity and reverence for the profession. It can be said that they are impacting the rules and traditions of the entertainment industry in all aspects.
After Asako Shiraishi came in, he treated his senior Akiko Matsumoto in a perfunctory manner and his peers in a frivolous manner. After casually saying hello, he took a seat and started eating potato chips.
There is an unwritten and perhaps unreasonable rule in the entertainment industry. In a shared lounge where many people are together, if they belong to different camps, they will not make any noise.
Obviously, at Asako Shiraishi, she ignored all the rules.
The two little idols looked at her with a bit of contempt, but at the same time they tried their best to hide their contempt.
I hate Asako Shiraishi, but I am also afraid of the golden sign of the Kitty Club. It can be said to be a standard "envy, jealousy and hatred". I don't dare to fight back, so I frequently look at Matsumoto Akiko with a look of injustice, fanning the flames.
"Senior, she went too far!" The silent eyes conveyed this message.
I just hope that I can incite Matsumoto Akiko to go forward and knock over Shiraishi Asako's potato chip bag and teach her how to behave. Although this carrot is not big, it has seniority.
...Matsumoto Akiko is not stupid.
Being in the same room with the idols who have come up from behind, whether she is treated seriously or treated with contempt, it feels like the wife of the main wife who has grown old and is no longer favored, accepting tea from the new and beloved concubines.
The pretty little goblin is certainly hateful, but the lively aunt who pretends to be honest and waits for the lady to splash the little goblin makeup remover on her face is certainly not a good thing to do.
How could she be the spearhead and make the "master" unhappy?
He is no longer popular. If he behaves like this again, he may have been driven back to his hometown long ago.
The reality in the entertainment industry is like this. If you are not popular and cannot create value, just remember not to get into trouble. However, it is impossible not to be angry when you are treated like this. However, anger cannot be exposed, and you can only expect it to turn out.
for strength.
She must seize every opportunity she can and become popular. Matsumoto Akiko secretly gritted her teeth.
"Everyone"
The staff with IDs hanging on their chests came over and said, "Matsumoto-san, Asako-chan, Hiramatsu-san, and Sayuri-san, they are about to play, please prepare."
Matsumoto Akiko put down the thin notebook in her hand and stood up.
