"That's what Iwahashi-san said, right?"

"Yes. Shinichi Iwahashi didn't expect this to be heard by Watanabe Manyumi, and not only that, but she also made her remember it for so long.

Actually, my father said something about the same. As if to solve Shinichi Iwahashi's doubts, Watanabe said, "My father once told me that the world of entertainment is a place where the wisdom of small people who have no family can be concentrated. ”

Before the modern entertainment industry was formed, when it came to artists, the public's reaction was similar to hearing about gangsters and prostitutes, and they felt that they were definitely not serious people.

Even now in the 80s, people from all walks of life are pouring into the entertainment industry, and celebrities have become sought-after people on the clouds, enjoying thousands of fans, even so, slightly more conservative families still regard entering the entertainment industry as a shame.

The status of the entertainment industry was too low at the beginning, so that the first people who were willing to join this industry were either apprentices who came from poor backgrounds and did not study much, or young people who had been in the gang and wanted to be good.

It is said that in the early years, you could still meet staff in the studio with tattoos on their arms and short knives in their arms.

However, there are benefits to being of low birth. Because of his low background, he doesn't have many "principles" that need to be guarded, so he can do it boldly and put the ideas he thinks of into action. As Watanabe Jin said, the little people who don't have a family get together to talk freely and brainstorm ideas, and then build a thriving entertainment world.

When the public realized the importance of entertainment culture, the status of the entertainment industry gradually began to improve, and people with good backgrounds and highly educated people entered this circle more and more and became important pillars behind the scenes.

Although these people now have more right to speak, Watanabe Manyumi always remembers what her father said, and at least guarantees that in her place, she can't let the worthless little people lose their right to speak.

"Iwahashi-san is a newcomer with no experience, so he doesn't have anything to stick to, because in this way, he can come up with ideas that don't have to be overly important. Watanabe said.

"......" Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know whether to take this as a compliment, and used the right to silence as a tacit acquiescence.

However, Watanabe's words are not necessarily unreasonable. The reason why he can ignore the glory of idols, and he is not afraid to become a pioneer of idol transformation artists, is precisely because he has not experienced the idol era.

"In the future, if Iwahashi-san has any good suggestions, just say what you want. Before letting him leave, Watanabe Manyumi mentioned it again.

"As long as it's a feasible idea, whoever comes up with it, you can find a way to monetize it. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi agreed, and only after he was allowed to leave her office did he leave her office.

Watanabe Manyumi turned her head and looked at the shadow cast on Iwahashi Shinichi after he stepped out of the blinds.

When she said those words just now, a thought popped into her heart. The first time I saw Iwahashi Shinichi, the words he heard from his mouth that were somewhat similar to what his father had said were not just accidental.

This young agent does have a style similar to his father's.

Although only a little. Watanabe Manyumi thought to herself.

——

The bonus that Iwahashi received was 50,000 yen, which was almost worth a month's rent, and the generous extra money made people happy, and Watanabe Manyumi was a very talkative boss, which also made him feel good.

When you're in a good mood, bad ideas keep coming.

The next week, the second episode in which Akiko Matsumoto participated aired on time.

This time, the performance is still remarkable, and the highest point of the ratings has risen again, fixed at 28.1%, although it is still the second highest in this period, but it is only 0.7 percentage points away from the highest point.

The ratings have risen steadily, which proves that the public accepts this setting and is very happy to hear it.

After two consecutive episodes, Akiko Matsumoto did not appear for the next two weeks.

"Is Matsumoto Akiko-san's skit over?", "When will Matsumoto Akiko-san appear again?" "Matsumoto Akiko-san is really interesting. Calls like these kept coming to the TV station during the two weeks without Akiko Matsumoto.

An idol who has been forgotten by the public for three years, because of this variety show, once again appeared in the public eye and gained considerable attention.

At the same time as the attention is rising, Shinichi Iwahashi here has also begun to receive invitations to programs initiated by TV stations, and it is still some programs where there are almost no idols.

has never been popular, and after the idol can't go on, she goes to do something else, such a girl Matsumoto Akiko may not really be the first, but it is particularly fresh for a female idol who once had a head and face to transform into an artist.

If the topic is enough, the TV station is also willing to give Matsumoto Akiko such a chance.

Artists who have become popular once will almost put on major variety shows all over the time taking advantage of the popularity, which is the norm in the industry. As for whether you can get a job in the follow-up after you finish it, and whether you can take this opportunity to establish a distinct image in the hearts of the audience, it depends on how many topics this round of tour has harvested, how much heat has been consumed, and how much value has been left.

There are many opportunities in front of you, but you can't really be hungry for food. At this time, as an agent, Shinichi Iwahashi took on another task, that is, to screen the programs that she could and could not participate in.

It's hard to find a job, it's even harder to pick a job that comes to your door, and it's even harder to turn down an unsuitable job. Otherwise, the old agents are all human spirits.

In stark contrast to the popularity of variety shows, after the short drama was broadcast, Akiko Matsumoto's presence on the idol side suddenly became embarrassing.

In any case, she is indeed relying on her identity as a consumer idol in exchange for the opportunity to transform. When you choose to do this, it means that you acquiesce in your heart and draw a line with the identity of your idol from now on.

"I had no choice but to move on!"

can't go back to the idol side, after this fact was confirmed, Matsumoto Akiko, who had no way out, went out instead, threw away almost all the idol baggage that should be lost, and threw himself into the transformation wholeheartedly.

After two consecutive episodes of the short drama, two episodes were suspended, giving the program team the opportunity to write and adjust the script. In this way, the idea that Shinichi Iwahashi proposed to pull the audience to play with the meme will have a chance to be implemented.

One of the things that he found very interesting was that one of the script writers in charge of the script for the new two short plays was Yasushi Akimoto, the producer of "Meow at Dusk" next door.
