Entering the entertainment industry, the position of an agent is not only a bridge between the artist and the TV station, it is as simple as taking the artist to complete the work, what kind of style the artist wants to take, and what kind of way to promote her, these things are all things that the agent needs to consider.

Matsumoto Akiko has a good starting point, and the resource allocation at the time of her debut is not bad, and the composers who provide music for her include Goto Jitoshi and Matsuren Tani Yumi, all of whom are famous among the composers who contributed music for idols.

It's not popular like this, so I have to think about changing the route.

At this stage, just a few days after taking over her, and not only for her, but also for the entire entertainment industry, Iwahashi Shinichi did not plan to act rashly, and first took her along the path of the orthodox idol set for her by the previous agent.

But then, she must be looking for a feasible route that will get her out of this situation.

To do this, he had to communicate with the decision-makers in the office, visit the producers of the TV station, and get to know Akiko Matsumoto, communicate with her, and explore the shining points of her personality that can be exploited.

Just helping to connect with working agents is not going to make the climate.

——

At seven o'clock in the morning, Shinichi Iwahashi went downstairs where Akiko Matsumoto lived and called her over the intercom, "Good morning, Matsumoto-san." ”

Today at the YMCA there is a platter performance of idols to be recorded, and she has to go over and sing a song and a half. Yes, and a half. Idols on the street, some of them are good at singing.

For example, have you ever seen a street fighter complain because he was serialized by an angry person?

Here, I sincerely warn that it is illegal to pretend to be a real person in the street.

Just kidding, just kidding. This joke is more fake than "RB fake singing offense".

Akiko Matsumoto had already gotten up, and after answering the call, she told him to go up - go up and get something.

If you are a popular idol, the standard configuration is an agent, an assistant, a makeup artist, and a costume artist.

Hit the street idol...... Am you still not satisfied?

Akiko Matsumoto now lives in an apartment arranged by Watanabe Making, which is not completely free, but only charges a nominal monthly rent.

It is said that many Watanabe productions artists lived in this building, many of whom have become famous, but Iwahashi Shinichi has been here several times, but he has never met one. Maybe you can meet it in the future?

Watanabe, who has been making a fortune for many years, has a lot of production industries, and there are buildings and hotels in Tokyo (although the office building is not very good), and if you don't have a job in the company, you can go to the hotel where the company invests as a waitress if you are really short of money.

There are a lot of trainees who go to help, but there are very few out-of-fashion artists who go to help.

Falling from the shining entertainment world to the mortal world, this gap is not something that anyone can bear. Therefore, once you enter this circle, even if you break through your lower limit in the show because you are not popular, it is difficult to return to your true nature to serve dishes.

In this regard, the preceding Truth of Heaven and Earth is a good example.

After experiencing popularity, obsolescence, disappearance, marriage, and divorce, the truth of heaven and earth that you can earn 10 million yen a month at your peak, when you are financially constrained and have no programs to play, you would rather make a pink movie than be an ordinary person.

Watanabe Productions has its own talent training schools in Kanto, Kansai, and Kanchu, and has a large number of trainees. For example, Candies was selected from the firm's training school.

The trainee system in South Korea, RB has been playing for many years. Decent studios and record companies have their own special training schools, and no matter how poor they are, they will cooperate with any non-governmental training schools for a long time.

Entertainment in East Asia is basically Korean learning RB and China learning Korea.

The more exceptions are China's Xiangjiang and Taidao, two places that learn directly from RB.

Of course, RB is learning from the United States.

Once upon a time, the copycat country RB continued to draw nutrients from Europe and the United States, but its awesome thing is that it can "harmonize" things from foreign countries, start from imitation, and innovate in imitation.

Incidentally, about why music education at RB is so popular.

This is because the modern education system of the RB began at a time when all of them were preparing for aggression and expansion. The music that came from the West was adopted as the military march, so young people began to learn Western music from elementary school.

By the end of the war, the idea that "Western music is advanced" had long been ingrained, and the music curriculum system had taken root for decades, and music lessons were naturally retained and increasingly enriched.

For example, there must be a wind band club in the school, which can be seen as a kind of embodiment, because wind instruments are often closely related to military music. However, today's students play a variety of things, and there are also adapted pop music.

During the garrison of the United States, because the soldiers at the base liked jazz music, the jazz band set off a boom in RB, and Watanabe Jin's first pot of gold was earned here.

Later, European and American singers visited Japan one after another, and RB young people were influenced by American rock and British rock, and the continuous replacement and accumulation of new and old trends, as well as the development of the economy and the relaxation of education, gradually gave birth to the current music scene.

Sometimes when you praise the other person or criticize yourself, please find out the "why" first. At the same time, when complimenting the other person, please be sure not to underestimate yourself.

"Good morning, Iwahashi-san. ”

When he opened the door, a half-painted face poked out, and Akiko Matsumoto greeted him.

"Is this the first to put on makeup?" "Shin'ichi Iwahashi stood in front of the entrance and didn't go in.

"There's no way," Matsumoto Akiko said, "There must be no separate lounge backstage, and I'm very nervous to share a room with other idols." Besides, if you don't put on makeup in advance, it will be bad if you are ugly. ”

Being seen by a peer on his face without makeup, how could such a thing happen to him?

"By the way, Iwahashi-san, aren't you coming in? I'll have to wait a little longer. ”

"No, that's fine. Iwahashi said.

Matsumoto Akiko smiled, "Iwahashi-san is very disciplined in this regard. ”

"Thank you. ”

Matsumoto Akiko, who gave him a sentence of "so young" when he first met, has always had such an attitude towards him after learning that Shinichi Iwahashi was the same year as her, and not only that, but he was also nearly two months younger than her...... I guess it's self-cooked.

After painting the makeup, Iwahashi Shinichi picked up his bag and urged, "Then let's go." ”

"Yes. Matsumoto Akiko answered, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Shin Yi-san has had breakfast, right?"

"I've eaten it. ”

"Eh~"

"What's the matter, Matsumoto-san hasn't eaten breakfast yet?"

Matsumoto Akiko nodded slightly, deliberately making a child's weak expression, and the whole child was fine. Put your hands together: "I'll leave it to you, Shen Yisang." ”

...... No way. Ask her, "What do you want to eat?"

——

Coming out of the convenience store, Shinichi Iwahashi opened the door of the back seat and handed over the lunch box in his hand, "Please." ”

"Thank you, sorry for your inconvenience. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi sat back in the driver's seat and reminded her, "If you put on makeup before you eat, your lipstick will be eaten, right?"

Akiko Matsumoto opened the lunch box and broke the chopsticks, "No, this little problem is not a problem at all." ”

Then, to prove it, she opened her mouth in an "O" shape, like a goldfish swallowing feed, and effortlessly put the meal into her mouth - the lipstick on her lips was perfectly preserved.

Seeing her "divine operation" in the rearview mirror, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but sigh "amazing".

Then I thought in my heart, such a rough guy is really an idol, isn't he here to be funny?
