Watanabe Manyumi digested this sentence for a while and then said: "It makes people feel uncomfortable listening to it."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "That's a bit exaggerated, but it's not like the kind of rough 'breaking' where you pick up a big stick and smash it with your own hands."
As soon as Watanabe Manyumi heard this, she knew that he was mocking the rough stick that Ikuo Shubo hit from behind. That's how he is. In the face of trouble, he likes to say things that sound unstable.
Accustomed to his occasional pettiness, Watanabe Wan Yumi patiently waited for his next words.
Because she also knew that if Iwahashi Shinichi had the time to make such a joke, he would at least have some ideas in mind.
"It's just that we need to change our thinking, reconsider, and adjust the plan. Before that, we must also consider how to maintain the popularity of the program and extend the life of the program."
"Now, we just need to think about how to keep the show popular."
In other words, as long as the popularity is guaranteed, there is no harm in overdrawing the life of the program.
Once evil forces in the industry like the Combustion System, who are accustomed to picking off other people's peaches, enter the scene, it is only a matter of time that the balance among all parties is broken. Once the balance is broken, Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe will not get much benefit from the show, and most of the other forces will not.
I will review this show again.
By then, the show will have no choice but to end.
Talent shows must either be run by overbearing forces, or the overbearing forces cannot be allowed in.
Without the burning element to interfere with this, there is still room to find a way to continue the show. With the burning element entering the scene, Iwahashi Shinichi is not the type to make someone else's wedding dress and then watch others throw it away.
A mind in the mud.
"One of the important purposes of our production of Band Paradise is to create a craze for the band. For now, eight points of this purpose have been achieved, so there is no need to worry too much now," said Shinichi Iwahashi.
"If you think so, you can relax and think about the next step."
"Selecting semi-finished products from talent shows to debut is inherently a trick. You also said that over the past year, we have actually been relying on the underground music industry's capital. And from now on, we will give up this kind of 'playing tricks'."
"The debut of the male Douhu group reflects the attitude of the public. Wan Yumi-san, at least in the band, the public respects the strong ones, so if you want to survive in the music industry, the band's talent and strength are indispensable."
The public can develop an idol and watch him improve step by step. However, the band does not have the conditions to develop it. It requires that it be a finished product as soon as it debuts, or at least a semi-finished product that has already been formed.
Therefore, with the arrival of the band wave, there is also the public's love for powerful groups and their disgust with half a bucket of water - looking at the miserable sales decline of the male Douhu group, you can know the true reaction of the general public.
"Actually, among the bands that were eliminated in the review stage and the competition stage, there are also many bands that although their current level is not enough, there is still the possibility of being polished. Didn't Manyumi-san also sign two such bands?"
He was talking about Tajima Takao's movable jewelry booth band Original Love and Kariyushi, who enjoyed the popularity of Begin Okinawa.
These two bands, Original Love, were tepid after their debut, but they have steadily risen steadily. After calming down and starting to create instead of rushing to perform, they slowly showed their talents and styles. Although this band is not popular yet
, but the future is still worth looking forward to.
Kariyushi, on the other hand, debuted with the popularity of Begin, and her performance is better than that of Original Love. However, now that she is eating the Okinawan style, if she cannot find a breakthrough in this gust of wind, she will probably gradually become quiet.
"What do you mean," Watanabe Manyumi asked him, "next, we will focus on the eliminated bands?"
"Yes and no." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "We want to return to the down-to-earth model of the past, from underground to above ground, but we need to find new bands outside of TV, hone them, and launch them."
Being in Osaka Castle Park, where amateur bands gather, and saying that we are going to switch from underground to above ground mode again, it is not unreasonable to say that the situation is inappropriate.
"That is to return to the mode of talent scouts discovering new talents in the underground music circle." Watanabe Wan Yumi mused.
"Things that please people are destined to be short-lived. However," Shinichi Iwahashi changed his subject, "It is not so much that the mode of discovering new talents has returned to the tradition. It is better to say that we have taken the first step from putting half-finished products on the stage.
Instead, look for your own malleable talents.”
Watanabe Wan Yumi laughed at him, "Isn't this a clever way of saying something?"
"It's just words." Shinichi Iwahashi admitted with a smile, "But it's also true. Moreover, our situation is different from before. With the band craze brought about by the program, it is much easier to get the public to accept the band now.
"
"Because of this, we have to adjust our strategy and give priority to ensuring the popularity of the program. Because we still need the popularity of the program, let's talk about the recent ones first. This program is a perfect promotional platform for Dreams Come True."
Song promotion, concert promotion, whenever there is a slight disturbance, we can find a way to promote it through the program. As long as Dreams Come True can become a hit, the revenue will definitely be considerable.
Not only how much money you make, but also the replacement of resources can bring a lot of convenience to promote other new people.
"After talking about the ones that are close, what about the ones that are far away?" Watanabe Manyumi asked.
"In order to leave a buffer," Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "After we find a new and correct way to promote and promote a band that is not from Band Paradise, this program will have no value."
As long as there are more and more bands that don't debut through shows, then sooner or later the band paradise will end.
Once the audience's appetite is whetted, their expectations for amateur bands will disappear. At that time, they will no longer be curious about what outstanding bands will appear, but will want the best one to be brought directly to them.
And the competition between bands will no longer be amateur bands and amateur bands getting together every week to compete, but an all-round competition between professional bands and professional bands.
What Iwahashi Shinichi originally wanted to do was slow down the arrival of this situation, but now, on the contrary, he wants to accelerate the arrival of this situation.
In the new year, the popularity of the band Paradise will continue to grow, and he will continue to provide suggestions for the program. However, the original goal of ensuring the sustainable development of the program will be changed to squeezing the program's utilization value and providing them with nutrients for their new development direction.
Once there is no use value, the program will have only one ending.
From this point of view, it is indeed necessary to "break" this program that has condensed so much effort of him and Watanabe Wan Yumi.
"In the new year, it goes without saying that the popularity of Dreams Come True will increase to a higher level, but more importantly, it will become popular." Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned another thing.
"When I say that we want to return to the traditional model of going from underground to above ground, I don't mean to continue the old sales method of selling records quietly.
Zard is a band that had no TV exposure at all before their debut. They really started from scratch. We used various methods to increase the band's popularity by participating in theme song singing of film and television dramas, radio and advertising promotions, and even exposure through variety shows.
"
"This band can be seen as the first experiment," he said.
If zard's sales model is feasible and this method of promoting new talents can be successful, then from now on, finding ways to build a good relationship with TV stations and win TV series theme songs and advertising songs will become the company's top priority.
"I want to become famous, and then prepare for bolan's debut." Shinichi Iwahashi took out another card.
The reason why he is not in a hurry is because of the two bands zard and bolan. One has just been launched, and the other is ready to go. At least for this year, he has no worries about running out of licenses.
With this year's buffer, he is confident that he can recruit new blood from the underground music circle and temper himself well.
In order to replenish fresh blood, he had already made plans.
"Besides, there are two other things." Shinichi Iwahashi threw out his thoughts one after another, "One is something I have thought about a long time ago, and the other is what I thought of after listening to what you said.
of."
Watanabe Manyumi was a little overwhelmed by the news one after another, and deliberately made fun of him, "You don't want to ask me which one I want to hear first, right?"
"That's okay." Shinichi Iwahashi followed suit, "Which one should I listen to first?"
Watanabe Manyumi smiled and said, "Then let's listen to this thing you just thought of first."
"Okay." Shin Iwahashi nodded, "That's right. I was thinking that once Band Paradise ends and we lose this flagship program, we will also disconnect from TV Asahi."
Watanabe Wan Yumi looked serious, "That's true."
Now they have a good relationship with TV Asahi, just because of the existence of this program.
"So, I just thought, while we are preparing to give up Band Paradise, we should also consider creating a new show." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
"New show?"
Watanabe Manyumi couldn't guess what he was thinking. Once Band Paradise ends, at least on TV Asahi, the talent show will no longer be possible.
Before her thoughts could go astray, Iwahashi Shinichi quickly pulled her back, "It doesn't have to be about music, it could be a variety show."
As long as we can add a new program on TV Asahi that can get good response, we can continue to maintain our cooperative relationship with TV Asahi.
Whether it's an office or a record company, there must be a TV station with which they have close cooperation.
Fuji TV has a good relationship with Watanabe Productions, and Yoshida Masaki is a producer of Fuji TV. Because of this, there is no need to deal with Fuji TV alone.
Among other TV stations, I think it would be better to maintain a good relationship with TV Asahi.
"Do you have any ideas?" Watanabe Wan Yumi asked.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it.
When he thought about the need to add a new show after losing Band Paradise, the first thing that came to his mind was the prank show he mentioned when he was joking with Akina Nakamori that day.
