"Yes." Iwahashi Shinichi didn't expect that Watanabe Wan Yumi would hear these words. Not only that, but she would also remember it for so long.
"Actually, my father also said something similar." Watanabe Wanyumi seemed to be explaining Iwahashi Shinichi's doubts, "My father once told me that the entertainment world is a collection of the wisdom of small people without family background.
The place."
Before the modern entertainment industry was formed, when people mentioned artists, the public's reaction was similar to that of gangsters and prostitutes, and they felt that they must not be serious people.
Even now in the 1980s, people from all walks of life are pouring into the entertainment industry, and celebrities have become sought-after people on the clouds, enjoying the crowds of thousands of fans. Even so, slightly conservative families still consider entering the entertainment industry
The energy world regards it as a shame.
The status of the entertainment industry was too low at the beginning, so those who were willing to join the industry at the beginning were either apprentices who came from poor backgrounds and did not have much education, or young people who had been involved in gangs and wanted to be good.
It is said that in the early years, in the studio, you could see staff members with tattoos on their arms and daggers in their arms. If they disagreed, they would show you a fierce look and teach you how to behave.
However, there are advantages to having a low background. Because you have a low background, you don’t have many “principles” to protect, so you can be free to act boldly and put your ideas into action. Just like Watanabe
As Jin said, little people with no family backgrounds gathered together to speak freely and brainstorm, and then they built a flourishing entertainment industry.
When the public realized the importance of entertainment culture, the status of the entertainment industry gradually began to improve. More and more people with good backgrounds and highly educated people entered this circle and became important pillars behind the scenes.
Although these people now have more say, Watanabe Wan Yumi still remembers what her father said in her heart, and at least ensures that she will not let the worthless little people lose their right to speak.
"Iwahashi-san is a newcomer with little experience, so he has nothing to stick to. Because of this, he can come up with ideas that don't place too much emphasis on 'principles.'" Watanabe Manyumi said.
"..." Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know whether he should regard this as a compliment, and used the right of silence as acquiescence.
However, Watanabe Manyumi's words may not be unreasonable. The reason why he can ignore the glory of idols and is not afraid of becoming a pioneer in idol transformation into an artist, and does so freely, is precisely because he has not experienced the idol era.
"In the future, if Iwahashi-san has any good suggestions, just feel free to speak up." Before letting him leave, Watanabe Manyumi said this again.
“As long as it is a feasible idea, no matter who comes up with it, they can find a way to realize it.”
Iwahashi Shinichi agreed and was allowed to leave before leaving her office.
Watanabe Manyumi turned her head and looked at the shadow cast on Shinichi Iwahashi through the blinds after he walked out.
When she said those words just now, a thought came to her mind. When she met Iwahashi Shinichi for the first time, the words she heard from his mouth that were somewhat similar to what her father said were not just a coincidence.
This young agent does have a style similar to his father's.
Although only a little bit, Watanabe Manyumi thought to herself.
The bonus Iwahashi Shinichi received was 50,000 yen, which was almost equal to one month's rent. The generous extra money made people feel happy, and Watanabe Wan Yumi was a very easy-to-talk boss, which also made him feel happy.
When you are in a good mood, bad ideas will continue to flow.
Next week, the second episode with Akiko Matsumoto participating will be broadcast on time.
The performance this time was still remarkable, with the highest ratings rising again, fixed at 28.1%. Although it was still the second highest in this period, it was only 0.7 percentage points away from the highest point.
The ratings have steadily increased, which proves that the public has accepted this setting and is very happy to see it.
After two consecutive episodes, Akiko Matsumoto did not appear in the show for the next two weeks.
"Is Matsumoto Akiko-san's skit segment over? When will Matsumoto Akiko-san appear again? Matsumoto Akiko-san is really interesting." Calls like this kept coming to the TV station during the two weeks without Matsumoto Akiko.
An idol who has been forgotten by the public for three years has once again appeared in the public eye because of this variety show and has gained considerable attention.
At the same time as the attention increased, Shinichi Iwahashi also began to receive program invitations from TV stations, and there were also some programs where almost no idols appeared.
She has never been popular, and after she stopped being an idol, she went on to do something else. Such a girl, Matsumoto Akiko, may not really be her first job. However, it is particularly refreshing for a once-famous female idol to change her career and become an artist.
.
If the topic is enough, the TV station is willing to give Matsumoto Akiko such an opportunity.
Artists who become popular once will take advantage of the popularity to appear on almost all major variety shows. This is the norm in the industry. As for whether they can get another job after the show, and whether they can take this opportunity to make a mark in the hearts of the audience.
To create a distinct image, it depends on how many topics this round of travel has harvested, how much popularity has been consumed, and how much value has been left behind.
There are many opportunities in front of her, but she can't really be greedy for them all. At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi, as her agent, shoulders another task, which is to help her select the programs that she can and cannot participate in.
It's hard to find a job, it's even harder to choose the jobs that come to you, and it's even harder to refuse unsuitable jobs. Otherwise, all old agents are talented people.
In sharp contrast to her instant popularity in variety shows, after the short drama was broadcast, Matsumoto Akiko's existence among idols suddenly became awkward.
In any case, she is indeed relying on consuming the identity of an idol in exchange for the opportunity to transform. When she chooses to do this, it means that she has acquiesced in her heart and has drawn a clear line with the identity of an idol from now on.
"I have no choice but to move forward!"
After confirming the fact that she could not go back to her idol side, Akiko Matsumoto, who had no way out, instead went all out and threw away almost all the idol baggage she had to throw away, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the matter of transformation.
After two consecutive episodes of the short drama, it was suspended for two more episodes, which gave the program team the opportunity to write and adjust the script. In this way, the idea proposed by Shinichi Iwahashi to engage the audience in making jokes could also have a chance.
Carry out implementation.
One thing that made him very interesting was that one of the script writers responsible for the new two-issue short drama scripts was Yasushi Akimoto, the producer of "Twilight Meow" next door.
