When they arrived at the venue, Chihara Rinto took Kim Soo-mi for a brief tour of the backstage. He took a close look at the idols who were preparing to appear. He also met with Murakami Iori and others, but did not listen to their reports, nor did he make any further announcements.
What kind of instructions? Fans are starting to come in now anyway. It's too late to make any changes, so why not just see the effect.
If you want to improve, it’s never too late next time.
He asked Murakami Iori and the IOL employee to continue their work, and he took Jin Xiumei to the auditorium. Moreover, it was not the VIP box reserved for him by Murakami Iori, but just ordinary seats - he was not here to enjoy it, there was nothing like it.
Sitting among the fans allows you to feel everything more intuitively.
It didn't rain today, but his "just in case" policy still worked. The stadium's ring-shaped electronic roof was raised by a small amount, slightly blocking the scorching August sun, which should make the fans feel better.
Even if it's still very hot - there's really nothing we can do about it, even if it's not hot in midsummer.
Fortunately, the fans don't care. After all, that's the basic virtue of watching baseball games. The fact that IOL can get such a good venue is very user-friendly. They are quite content and just stay there to enjoy themselves with friends or strangers.
Talk and discuss the final ranking of the election and who will get the throne.
Jin Xiumei was a little uncomfortable with it. She was not a sports fan and rarely went to the stadium to watch live games, but she didn't complain. She just observed everything around her carefully.
It's still a while before the show ends, but fans are already here in droves, and unlike what she imagined, the types of fans are not simple.
Young men account for the majority, probably because the protagonist today is the Tokyo 50 women's team, so there are particularly many male fans - these are probably the newly emerging group of Japanese otakus, the "idol otaku".
The word "otaku" originally meant the official residence of a high-ranking official recognized by the imperial court in ancient times. It later developed into an honorific title for "lord of the palace" in ancient Japanese, and then continued to change and migrate, and is still used in modern times. For example, referring to her to a married woman
If you have a husband, you can call him "Master", which means "the head of your family", which is a kind of honorific title - Japanese women call their husbands "Master", which means the head of the family. It is also an honorific title, not a reference.
The kind of owner with a whip and candle.
In the 1980s, because most anime fans were not sociable, they basically called their fellow fans this way, such as "Can you appreciate the otaku's collection?" which means "Can I come to your house to see your collection?"
, implying to keep a distance and only communicate on hobbies and personal relationships. Over time, the word otaku has become another name for this group, referring to people who are obsessed with a certain hobby and are somewhat divorced from society.
Idol otaku are people who are obsessed with idols. They are a new otaku group that has flourished on a large scale due to the emergence of Tokyo 50.
Kim Soo-mi has done some homework on these little things and knows it in her heart. She is not surprised to see an idol otaku, but the rest of the fans who come to support her are a little confused.
Not far away from her, there was an old man teaching another old man about a girl named "Xia Jiang". His expression was very urgent, as if a pyramid scheme was developing offline, but when he mentioned the word "Xia Jiang",
His tone was very soft, his eyes were very kind, and it didn't seem like he was doing it for lust.
On the other side, it looks like a family. A young couple is holding a three or four-year-old child, and the child is waving a small flag with the name "Hojo Eiko" written on it. I don't know who they are.
Why should the whole family come to support?
Sitting directly in front of her was a mother and daughter, who looked like a housewife and a college girl. They were whispering to each other affectionately, and they were obviously very interested, which made people feel even more weird.
Jin Xiumei looked around and felt that the idol league and the so-called "development system" idols have swept away Japanese society and become a national activity. No wonder Chihara Rinto dared to compare a mere idol with Japan's number one idol.
Comparing sports, at the very least, the atmosphere and the number of people here will never lose to an ordinary professional baseball game.
Chihara Rinto was observing how the event was organized.
The salesperson carrying something like a pesticide sprayer on his back was selling iced drinks everywhere. He gave the customer a paper cup and filled it up with a "sizzling" sound with a spray gun. He got 500 yen immediately. There were also people in the aisles from time to time.
Small carts passed by, selling various peripheral souvenirs with "Second General Election" printed on them, including badges, certificate cards, posters and stickers. There were many miscellaneous items and many varieties, which also attracted many people to dig into their pockets.
Security is also good. A large number of staff are patrolling back and forth, politely maintaining order, and the evacuation routes are also very conspicuously marked. Especially Murakami Iori did not seek small profits and had to forcefully fill the place, choosing to divide the auditorium into
It divides a small area into small areas and leaves a certain amount of buffer zone, which is very appreciated.
As expected of a capable Murakami, his work is indeed reliable!
Qianhara Rinto was a little satisfied and said happily: "It's done well."
Jin Xiumei heard it and couldn't help but said: "Yeah, it's really good, it's really... it's so prosperous."
Qianhara Rinto smiled slightly and said nothing very reservedly.
Where has this come from? It’s not yet the time when the whole nation, from old to young, is familiar with Tokyo 50 and its units. It’s not yet the time when the ratings of popular idols can beat serious actors just by appearing in them. It’s not yet the time when idols dominate the advertising industry.
, in the modeling industry and the music industry - as long as a single is released, "Akamaru will rise sharply", CD sales exceed one million every year, the Oricon chart has become an idol chart, there is no power to resist, even Saka.
National singers like Quanquanshui also have to avoid the three-foot sharp edge.
Of course, it’s not that the quality of Banquan Spring Water is not good, it’s that hundreds of idols besieged a singer, and it would take a god to win.
This is the power of the organization, the power of the commercial brand, and the trend of the idol alliance is unstoppable!
He felt really accomplished when he looked at all the things he led, and with his smile, the announcement of the results of the general election also began. Today, during the day, the women's team and its sister teams announced the voting results and seat rows, and in the evening
The celebrations and appreciation performances will be repeated tomorrow for the men's team, but the fans will be different.
The host warms up the show, or there are many hosts who warm up the show together. They all use idols from the Idol League. Including the early interviews in the program, idols from this league make guest appearances - the Idol League is completely exclusive.
The organization will only encroach on the territory of hosts, actors, models and singers, and will never let them squeeze in and gain any popularity.
Once the atmosphere has heated up, it’s time to count the votes. Among the heart-warming words of encouragement, comfort or sensationalism given by the male idol hosts to the “sisters”, from low votes to high votes, one of them is brave or heroic.
Some girls, either petite and cute, or gentle and quiet, stepped onto the stage in the middle of the stadium, bowed and gave a short speech to thank their fans for their support.
As the debut of the girl idols becomes more and more popular, the gap in votes becomes smaller and smaller, and the atmosphere among fans becomes more and more tense. The reporters in the media area are desperately trying to get the best photos, and they are talking to each other.
They were faintly jockeying for position, crowded together, and the cameras were shooting out of the designated area. From a distance, it looked a bit like they were about to launch a final salvo, which made people worry that they would then carry out a group charge with bayonets.
Qianhara Rinto didn't care who came first. For him, the meat was always rotten in his pot. His eyes were directly attracted to the commotion created by this group of people, and soon IOL staff rushed over to stop it.
If I want to say who is most grateful to Chihara Rinto for taking the lead in forming the idol alliance, it should actually be these media reporters. After all, idols have many fans and they all want to know the latest status of their idols. As long as there is demand, these people will have jobs.
Come on, there are extra bonuses you can get.
Most of them abide by the rules. Anyway, IOL company is not very cooperative with positive publicity. It is not difficult to get normal street photos or event photos, but there are always guys who want to get rich overnight and work hard to make something big.
News comes out.
Tracking, ambushes, and candid photography were all used. Not only did they reveal the apartment address of a popular newcomer, causing her to be blocked at home by her fans, but they also dug out the dormitory of the Summer Festival Parade team and took photos of a lot of idols.
Their bare-faced photos have caused a certain negative impact.
Murakami Iori was so angry at that time that he immediately went in to communicate privately, but all he got was some perfunctory words. Anyway, the newspaper was not afraid of litigation at all, and big news that could continue to increase sales was more important.
Murakami Iori became even more angry and directly asked Chihara Rinto for instructions, and Chihara Rinto was not polite and directly gave her the authority to activate all available forces to let them know who they were against!
Murakami Iori did it without hesitation. In the name of Chihara Rinto, he openly announced a boycott of the newspaper in the circle, indicating that any organization that cooperated with them and any organization that dared to take in or interact with those unscrupulous paparazzi
Those who trade are the eternal enemies of the Qianyuan Sect.
The newspaper and the paparazzi didn't take it seriously at first, and Chihara Rinto couldn't control them, so they were scared! But the situation quickly deteriorated.
Kanto United and its affiliated companies immediately refused to have any further dealings with them.
This was nothing. The newspaper was mentally prepared, but soon their participation in the activities of Tokyo Broadcasting TEB, Fujisan, Asazuki and other TV stations were implicitly rejected - Asazuki was in a period of decline, Fujisan was in internal strife, Qianhara Rin
People have already proven that they are mad dogs, and they don’t want to cause trouble; the banker faction in Tokyo Broadcasting TEB is afraid of arousing Rinto Chihara’s anger and causing the old hemorrhoids to happen again, so he doesn’t want to cause trouble at all.
It's just a medium-sized newspaper anyway, and there's no need for Chihara Rinto to cause trouble against them, so except for the old salted fish NHK who doesn't care about anything and Sakurajima who is still not convinced, they can get first-hand entertainment news from regular channels
The channels are all cut off.
Immediately afterwards, it became difficult for them to interview actors normally. Even if the reporters had established excellent personal relationships with some actors, it was useless. It was like a sudden outbreak of influenza in Tokyo. As soon as they contacted the actors, most of them suddenly caught a cold and did not want to do it.
Show up.
If that was all they could tolerate, but then their advertising sales plummeted, and a large number of companies refused to advertise to them anymore. Even if the salesmen knelt down and begged them, employees who were familiar with them in the past said that there were always various difficulties - a certain company
They are our important partners. They have already requested us. We really can’t refuse, so...you guys should think of other ways!
Even government officials who are familiar with each other have sent a message, asking them privately not to cause trouble to Teacher Qianhara. Over there is the person who has clearly requested special care from the chief minister's office in the Prime Minister's residence. Go and mess with him when you are full and full.
In the end, some shareholders were clamoring to withdraw their capital, saying that they could no longer cooperate with this newspaper, otherwise their own business would be seriously affected.
At this time, the newspaper began to panic and took the initiative to seek reconciliation, but Murakami Iori returned their perfunctory words, and then nothing happened.
The newspaper lasted less than three months before it fell apart and disintegrated naturally.
The media circle was shocked. Although that newspaper was not a national newspaper, it still had a certain influence in the Kanto region. Otherwise, it would not have dared to challenge a big company like IOL. What happened in the end?
Has Chihara Rinto’s influence already spanned the three realms of politics, economics and entertainment?
This is too fast!
Almost all tabloids have behaved themselves and no longer want to forcefully make big news out of IOL. Fortunately, idols are inherently topic makers, so they can't accept it even if they cooperate.
It was the same this time. The media area quickly regained order under the persuasion and restraint of the staff, and behaved very honestly. Qianhara Rinto turned his attention back to the venue and no longer took it to heart - right
Entertainment reporters and paparazzi can't ask for too much, just don't make their own decisions and be cooperative.
Jin Xiumei's eyes were also attracted for a moment, but she didn't care about such things. She only thought that the general election was very interesting. These girl idols all have distinctive personalities. Even if they failed or were not ranked well, they would still hold back tears and thank their fans.
In support, a few even laughed and shed tears, which made many fans also look sad and deeply hate themselves for being incompetent.
The overall atmosphere was quite good. She felt that her trip was not in vain. She thought that the ratings would definitely be good if she came to broadcast it. However, she said with some regret: "It's a pity that this kind of event cannot be held often..."
She was thinking about Chihara Rinto, but Chihara Rinto laughed in a low voice: "Yes, selection meetings will be held frequently in the future."
Kim Soo-mi asked strangely: "Didn't you say that this time will determine their next single and concert position?"
"Yes."
"Then how can it be held again?"
Chihara Rinto chuckled and said: "Change the prize, such as the qualification to participate in some popular variety shows, and in order to prevent aesthetic fatigue, you can also change the mode, such as guessing games."
Kim Soo-mi asked with great interest: "What is the guessing game selection?"
"It's a game where all the idols play guessing matches, and the winner advances until one person is determined and gets a lot of resources."
Jin Xiumei was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief: "Isn't this just luck?"
Chihara Rinto smiled and said nothing, and Kim Soo-mi has also reviewed many reality shows with him, and she reacted as soon as he smiled - fans seem to be relying on luck, but there is a script in all likelihood, and it must be the operation team.
To decide who will advance, at least a few popular names will be allowed into the finals to ensure ratings.
Only then did Chihara Rinto explain to her in a low voice: "This model is also to give potential newcomers a chance to get ahead, a chance to gather fans, a chance to challenge the seniors in the general election and create myths."
"While producing a program, how can we avoid team consolidation?"
Qianhara Rinto nodded, "Yes, this is also one of the purposes, so no matter what angle you look at, similar events will be held frequently, but in different forms, so you don't have to worry about the lack of broadcast content."
She was really thinking long-term. Jin Xiumei felt that she had learned something and couldn't help but admired: "It's really amazing. Can this model be brilliant for a hundred years?"
Chihara Rinto laughed dumbly and said: "How is that possible? The audience's interests are changing all the time. There is no long-lasting and unbeatable program. It will only last for ten years at most, and then it will go downhill, and will gradually be lost to the audience and fans.
Tired of it."
"ten years?"
"Yes, ten years."
Qianhara Rinto looked at the field and said with certainty, while Jin Xiumei looked at his side face, dazed for a moment.
His eyes were clear, as if he were seeing the future through the fog of time and space. He was just telling a fact, which really made people believe it.
She looked at this side of the face, feeling this temperament, and suddenly felt that her heart was beating a little too fast, her face was a little hot, and then there was a hint of regret - this person has a girlfriend, and the relationship is still very good, it is really interesting.
People feel sorry.
…………
Daniyama50 is also looking at the voting results for the Tokyo women's team.
She originally accompanied her mother to vote for Gomi Sanchiyo, but the vote went smoothly. Unfortunately, Gomi Sanchiyo was so popular that the handshake meeting was full. As a result, her mother was not able to see the child she liked up close and personal, but when she had to leave,
She participated in the lottery and was lucky enough to get two on-site support tickets. Someone wanted to buy them for 10,000 yen each on the spot, but she didn't sell them and chose to accompany them.
Mom comes to see.
Of course, she would rather get the tickets for tomorrow, where her favorite Yuzhen Oni-chan is, but unfortunately her luck is not that good yet.
She didn't care who won the first place in the women's team or who could stand in the middle. She was watching a little absent-mindedly. Occasionally she heard a few strange whispers behind her, the content of which didn't match the atmosphere of the venue at all.
She couldn't help but look back and saw that he was a young man who looked familiar. She didn't care, so she turned back and looked around the venue, but the more she thought about it, the more wrong she was. She couldn't help but look back again, and finally recognized it...
