"In this kind of audition, the card to be selected is not the one with the highest number of points, but the one that can be combined with the cards already in the hand. "Watanabe Manyumi's head is the way.

"Yes. Iwahashi thought for a moment and understood what she meant.

There's only one good card, and you can't even play the power of this card. Don't choose the expensive one, only the right one. Not only does Diao brand laundry detergent think so, but the domineering president Manyumi Watanabe also thinks so.

"Feeling comes first. Watanabe expressed her opinion on the audition.

Regarding this, Shinichi Iwahashi also agreed. What kind of people will be selected at the audition meeting. That's why it's not uncommon for players to be eliminated from one audition and win big at another.

Sometimes it's not necessarily because a player isn't good enough to be eliminated.

In fact, if you really want to analyze it from the "feeling", it can explain to some extent why some draft activities eliminate good seedlings, but select a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates.

For example, in the competition of "the most handsome and beautiful middle school students in the country", the so-called handsome guys and beauties often selected are difficult to explain. I am questioned about my strange aesthetics every day.

The reason for this result is because it is said that Ben is ugly, or is it that global aesthetics do not work in Shuo Ben?

In addition to the reasons why the top handsome guys and beauties have long been discovered by talent scouts, there may be another explanation, that is, this "most handsome and beautiful" originally refers to good-looking people among ordinary people.

Such a beauty contest is not a selection for entering the entertainment world, but a selection for ordinary students. Compared with the kind of handsome guys and beauties that make people feel dreamy, the kind of ordinary people who look good and have some highlights are more suitable for this kind of competition.

Let ordinary students feel that the selected handsome guys and beauties are around, and at the same time, there is also an idea of "I can also participate", so as to make the event more lively, and then it will be held again and again.

......

At today's final election, the examiners present were a total of seven people, including Manyumi Watanabe and Shinichi Iwahashi. On the U-MIZ side, there were also managers from the firm, as well as senior executives of the cooperative magazines and two industry insiders.

At the same time, there was also a cameraman in charge of the video, because it was a comprehensive selection, unlike the singer selection with a clear goal, and during the primary selection, it was also said that in the final selection, there was also an opportunity for the contestants to show singing, dancing and other small skills.

It is also because it is not a competition to decide the champion by simply looking at the face but not being cute enough to be in shape, but with a talent show link, which is convenient for Iwahashi Shinichi to observe on the spot.

When the selection advertisement was distributed, it was written that the winner would receive a trip to Guam as a prize, and not only that, but also the opportunity to be an exclusive model for the magazine and join an entertainment agency.

If you want to attract cute girls, you have to offer beautiful conditions - of course, this also applies to cute boys.

At 9:30, we arrived at the venue of the final election.

Before the official start of the official process, the examiners will greet each other and make introductions to each other, and the final selection will be communicated with each other. Watanabe Manyumi took on the role of a "bridge", introducing the people from the magazine to the insiders and Shinichi Iwahashi to the other censors, "This is Iwahashi-san from GENZO." ”

Shinichi Iwahashi and the examiners greet each other.

People in the music industry also said that those who are here today probably won't know what this GENZO is, and they don't know who Iwahashi-san is. However, he walked in with Manyumi Watanabe, and it was enough to know that.

When you stand with the big guy, you can get the light of the big guy.

......

Iwahashi has a lot of experience in choosing videotapes, and he has seen hundreds of them so far, and it is clear at a glance that a band is not suitable for television, but he is still a novice to seeing real people in person.

Of course, he will not express his opinion during the whole selection meeting, but just observe silently from the side.

At ten o'clock, the audition will officially begin.

The number one who took the lead walked in, and it was a small girl with short hair. Seeing the examiner on the opposite side and the camera set up there, as soon as he opened his mouth to introduce himself, he first took a small screw, subconsciously stuck out his tongue, and laughed at several examiners, and also laughed at himself.

However, such a small episode eased the tension a bit, and the speech was much more neat.

Starting with the No. 1 girl, one after another the inductees took turns to walk into this venue and show themselves in front of the judges.

While Shinichi Iwahashi is a bystander, he pays attention to the temperament of the girls who come in and listens to their singing.

The "temperament" that Iwahashi Shinichi pays attention to is probably similar to the "feeling" that Watanabe Manyumi pays attention to, but then again, cute girls may not have a singing voice that can be used, and there are many people who exchange a good voice for beauty.

While watching the audition, Shinichi Iwahashi's mind occasionally flashed through the performance of Sachiko Kamaike in the audition tape that day. Although several days have passed, I still remember her voice when I think about it now.

Today's final election, a total of 60 girls came to participate, I don't know if I can meet such a person among these 60.

From the moment he tacitly agreed with Watanabe to choose a lead singer at this audition, Shinichi Iwahashi was secretly looking forward to what kind of girl he would meet on this day.

As a result, before the day came, Haruko Akamatsu asked him to listen to Sachiko Kamaike's audition tape. Now, when the girls present show their singing voices, Shinichi Iwahashi makes a comment in his heart, he can't help but think about that Sachiko Kamaike.

"Please, the next one. ”

Another girl left the stage, and the staff announced to the door.

A thin, medium-sized girl with shoulder-length hair walked in and introduced herself to the examiners, "I'm Izumi Inamura from Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and I'm nineteen years old. ”

"Is it called 'IZUMI'?" said Watanabe as she read her name and smiled, "It's quite unusual to use 'IZUMI' as a name." ”

"However, the name goes well with the last name. The people from the magazine told Watanabe Manyumi.

When such a small episode occurred on the examiner's side, Izumi Inamura, who had brought a small topic of attention because of his name, stood there quietly, waiting for the next order.

Iwahashi Shinichi looked at this girl named Izumi Inamura with great interest.

Her appearance is not so cute, but heroic. A straight duck egg face, a slightly large but well-defined mouth, a straight nose, and a pair of big eyes. The facial features are not perfect, but they are very attractive.

Although she was on such an occasion, she behaved calmly and confidently, and her psychological quality was quite strong.

However, what Shinichi Iwahashi was more interested in than her looks was her quiet, somewhat elusive eyes. In addition to this, her temperament is also quite special.

What is special is that although the gestures are not tactful, there is a hint of unreliability. In other words, this Izumi Inamura makes people feel like they want to be close, but they also make people feel that they can't really get close to her.

Not only Shinichi Iwahashi, but also Manyumi Watanabe was very interested in her, and looked at her seriously for a long time thoughtfully.

Izumi Inamura was also asked to show off her singing voice, and the song she chose was Momoe Yamaguchi's "Desperate" (Desperate).

This song is about a woman who is entangled with a married man, swaying between wanting to defeat the original partner and feeling sorry for the original partner, and falls into a desperate situation...... That's pretty much it.

This song is not easy to sing, and choosing such a song that is easy to overturn at the audition meeting instead of choosing a more flattering one can't help but make people look sideways. However, this song was sung by her in a good way, and it was full of momentum.

Her somewhat unreliable, vaguely gloomy temperament is also delicious when used to interpret such a song.

After Izumi Inamura's review was over, before the next girl came in, Watanabe Manyumi turned her head and quickly said to Iwahashi Shinichi, "It's pretty good." ”

It's really a girl who makes people shine, and Shinichi Iwahashi also thinks this girl is rare.

......

In the next audition, there were several beautiful and temperamental girls, and there were also a few girls who could sing, and there was even a girl who could sing Rebecca's decently.

Sixty girls showed their talents, and although the scale of this audition was not as large as that of a large-scale draft, it was also quite exciting.

The final results of the examination were not announced on the spot, and the girls who participated in the examination received small gifts and fares prepared after the interview, and after the judges saw them on the spot, they first screened out some of them on the spot, and then held a meeting to review and decide the final winner.

After all the 60 auditions were over, it was not too early for the examiners, along with the staff at today's venue, to go to the restaurant that U-MIZ had reserved in advance. One box for the staff and one box for the examiners.

Everyone chatted while eating, but on such an occasion, they would not mention the matter of the selection meeting just now.

After eating, the club's after-entertainment program was also arranged. Watanabe Manyumi, a female boss, was not very convenient for socializing with men, so she was replaced by the manager of the office who came with her to take on the next reception.

Shinichi Iwahashi originally came with Watanabe Manyumi, and he didn't know anyone else, so now he no longer goes to follow the continuation stall, but stays and acts with Watanabe Manyumi, as if buying a bottle of Coke and getting a bottle of Sprite during a discount promotion.

However, it was still early, and it was not interesting to go back to their respective homes now, so when they got into the car, Watanabe Manyumi asked him, "Do you want to find another place to sit?"

Shinichi Iwahashi guessed that she would have to talk about today's audition meeting, and agreed.

Watanabe Manyumi gave the driver an address, and the two went to a small bar in the back street of Ginza. Watanabe Manyumi has a store of sake here, and it seems that she is a regular customer at the store.

"It's been a hard day. Watanabe Manyumi raised her glass slightly to him.

Iwahashi Shin smiled, "Thanks to you, I saw so many beautiful girls today. ”

"This statement ......," Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help but laugh. After taking a sip of wine, he naturally brought the topic to the audition, "So, there are so many beautiful girls, has any of them moved you?"

Shinichi Iwahashi made a thoughtful look.

Before he could give an answer, Watanabe asked him instead, "That girl named Izumi Inamura is pretty good, isn't it?" Shinichi Iwahashi didn't hear an answer from the censorship, and she said it again now.

"It's special. "Shinichi Iwahashi was also very impressed by that girl.

"What's the most interesting thing about that girl? is that she looks like a girl of our time. Watanabe Manyumi said something a little awkward.

The girl of this era ...... That's an interesting statement.

"The times are different, not only the pop and culture, but also the spiritual outlook of young people. Watanabe Manyumi explained, "Izumi Inamura has a very unique temperament......

"It's unpredictable and unreliable. Shinichi Iwahashi said.

Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "That's right, it's very vivid." In today's era, young people spend their days wandering around all day long, and there is a lack of trust in getting along and communicating with others, and relationships are not so reliable. This state is interesting, not a barrier, but a transparent diaphragm. Therefore, even if people are close, their hearts cannot be close. ”

"Hmm. Iwahashi Shinichi thought thoughtfully.

That said, you can't tell from the appearance of ordinary people, but Izumi Inamura sometimes exudes a hint of that feeling. "Watanabe Manyumi seems to admire Izumi Inamura quite a lot.

Iwahashi smiled at her, "That's what you care about first, right?"

"That's right. Watanabe Manyumi admitted. However, the tone paused, "Appreciation is appreciation, she is not suitable to be the winner this time." Watanabe Manyumi mentioned this, "The style of "KIRAKIRA" doesn't match her very well, and it is not good to debut through there. ”

Iwahashi Shin nodded while listening, "It's another thing to say if it's winning or not, when she sings, it's eye-catching, and she's quite energetic." ”

"The girl who sang "Absolute Death" at the audition meeting is rare enough. Watanabe Manyumi smiled.

"That's right. Shinichi Iwahashi smiled and asked her, "Will you give me a copy of the videotapes of the girls I circled after?"

"Of course. Watanabe Manyumi agreed, and casually said a wittic, "The final election of the final election." ”

Shinichi Iwahashi made a funny move where something fell, "Don't play me a poor producer who can't find a lead singer anywhere." ”

"If you're a poor producer, then I'm not a small shopkeeper who can't open a shop. "Watanabe Manyumi is at ease.

Hearing her say this, Iwahashi Shen smiled violently, "It's worthy of Wanyumi-san." ”

As soon as these words came out, the tacit understanding of the two on this matter could be regarded as clear.

"But," Watanabe Manyumi thought about saying something for Haruko Akamatsu, and asked him, "You producer did it yourself to find the lead singer, Haruko's side, you don't really plan to let her leave GENZO, do you?"

Iwahashi shook his head, "She's actually done with the task." ”

In terms of finding a new lead singer, Sachiko Kamaike's performance is really eye-catching. Haruko Akamatsu was able to bring such a person to the studio, and Shinichi Iwahashi admitted her vision and no longer let go of the matter of letting her find the lead singer by herself.

Watanabe Manyumi was aroused, "You mean, Haruko found the lead singer?"
