"I'm sorry, please forgive me for being blunt." Shinichi Iwahashi still insisted on his opinion, "But what exactly is the so-called glory of idols?"
"I think nothing can be more false than that. Today's idols are not the sun and stars, but just artificial light bulbs one after another. What can we protect such glory?"
"Hmm." The person in charge hesitated.
Taking advantage of his momentary hesitation, Shinichi Iwahashi struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Why can't idols do comedy skits? I don't think that is a shameful thing. Besides,"
Anyway, in his own office, there is not so much consideration. Shin Iwahashi has always said bluntly: "Even if there is such honor, it should be ruined by Tomoko Takabe, who smokes underage, and talks nonsense on the show.
The kitten club that blocks the talk..."
I also went to film the pink movie "Tianchi Zhenri".
Of course, he did not drag out their former top idol on Watanabe's territory. From this point of view, it is still a bit "taboo".
"Even with that kind of glory, should we let our Matsumoto-san, who has never felt the glory of an idol for a day, and who has not benefited from it, to protect it?"
He gave his final reason, "Besides, Matsumoto-san's situation is here right now. If we don't consider changing it, I'm afraid we will only have the fate of being hidden. In this case, please give me this chance and bet on Matsumoto-san and me."
career”
"What can you and Matsumoto bring to the gambling table in their careers?" the person in charge came back to his senses and said. The words were a bit ugly, but the tone was not very harsh.
Indeed, even if they are tied together and put on a scale, an unknown little idol and a rookie agent are not worth much weight.
"In this case," Iwahashi Shinichi noticed a glimmer of hope in the reaction of the person in charge and felt that there was room for maneuver. He quickly followed himself up, "it is even more important to give worthless little people like us a chance to do it.
.”
At the same time, a group of figures appeared in the corridor on the fourth floor where the first production was located.
A young woman in her early twenties, accompanied by two staff members, walked into the office of the First Production Department. She was Watanabe Manyumi, the second daughter of Watanabe Shin and Watanabe Misa.
Watanabe Manyumi graduated from the Sociology Department of Waseda University. When she first joined Watanabe Productions, she worked in the public relations team. After this year's personnel transfer, she just joined the First Production Department.
At the same time, she is also responsible for Mori Shinichi's brokerage affairs. Morishin has a total of three agents, who are responsible for affairs in different directions. Watanabe Manyumi is mainly responsible for contacting advertisers.
When Watanabe Shin was alive, he had great admiration for his younger daughter. Compared with Shoucheng's eldest daughter Meishu, his second daughter Wan Yumei had some innovative courage.
However, the eldest daughter Miki has grown up and is married to a producer from Fuji TV. It seems that she will take over Watanabe Productions in the future.
As the second daughter, Watanabe Mayumi is too much older than her elder sister, and cannot compare with the popularity and foreign aid that her elder sister has accumulated over the years, so she took it easy from the beginning and never thought about fighting for power.
Also because the two sisters had tacitly set goals and directions early on, there was harmony within the office, and there was no such thing as the Mishu Faction or the Wanyumi Faction.
After entering the office, several people walked towards the person in charge's cubicle. As they approached, they saw a young man standing in front of the person in charge's desk, looking like he was arguing hard.
Watanabe Mayumi moved her eyebrows, stopped, and listened for a while.
"...We should give worthless little people like us a chance to do whatever we want."
When hearing this sentence, Watanabe Wan Yumi couldn't help but smile and looked at the young man who said this sentence.
At this time, the person in charge and Shinichi Iwahashi finally noticed the presence of Watanabe Manyumi and both looked over.
Shinichi Iwahashi met Misa Watanabe and Miki Yoshida. It was the first time for Watanabe Manyumi, who had only heard of their first names. It was the person in charge who spoke first, and then he knew who the visitors were.
Watanabe Mayumi doesn't look much like either Watanabe Misa or Yoshida Miki, so she probably inherited more from Watanabe Shin.
She is of medium height, but has good proportions, and is very suitable for wearing suits. Compared with her eldest sister Yoshida Miki, her appearance is much more refined. She has short hair that is close to her ears. Although she is young, she gives people a capable look.
"What are you talking about?" Watanabe Wan Yumi was very interested.
The person in charge briefly explained the situation. Watanabe Manyumi listened and thought for a moment, "Matsumoto Akiko?" It seemed that she not only had an impression of this name, but also had some understanding.
"Who is this?" She looked at Shinichi Iwahashi again.
Shinichi Iwahashi bowed, "I am Matsumoto-san's manager Iwahashi."
"Oh." Watanabe Wan Yumi nodded, "Hello."
This planning document passed from the hands of the person in charge to Watanabe Manyumi.
She read the plan carefully and asked Shinichi Iwahashi, "How did you come up with the idea of letting Matsumoto-san transition into a variety show?"
"Because I found Matsumoto-san's biggest selling point, and if I want to bring it into play, I have to take this path. To put it bluntly, it's probably 'selling what she can sell'." Iwahashi Shinichi replied.
"Selling things that can be sold?" Watanabe Manyumi laughed again, as if she found this statement interesting.
He lowered his head, looked at the plan book again, paused, and said, "Can Iwahashi-san be responsible for this transformation?"
"Yes." Shinichi Iwahashi straightened his back, "If the plan fails, I will take responsibility." Although as the person in charge said, there is nothing worth mentioning in his career.
But what we want now is actually an attitude.
"Then it's up to me," Watanabe Wan Yumi looked at him, "Contact the production team of "We Are Funny" to discuss this project together. However, if it fails, I ask you to resign voluntarily."
"Yes!" Shinichi Iwahashi lowered his head.
Basically, the rules of the TV station industry are to calculate the new year starting from April, and then produce programs on a half-year cycle. It is the end of February now, and the TV station is in the adjustment stage. It is the right time to discuss it.
.
Within the first production department, opinions on the transformation of Matsumoto Akiko are also divided into two groups. However, those who are opposed to, or are hesitant about, this transformation are not because they think this project is not feasible.
In other words, idols who are almost hopeless will be like that even if they have another failed project. Rather than whether the project is feasible, this worry actually comes more from the impact of this approach on the existing idol model.
If Matsumoto Akiko sets this precedent, Watanabe Productions, which has already become a conservative company, will shrink back from becoming a pioneer again.
However, Watanabe Manyumi supported this plan with unexpected firmness.
