After completing the handover with Akiko Matsumoto's agent, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akiko Matsumoto completed their first meeting in a small conference room inside the office.

"Hello Matsumoto-san, I'm your new agent, Shinichi Iwahashi. ”

When he came to work at a serious company, Shinichi Iwahashi also changed into a suit and tie, and wore a briefcase, dressed like an ordinary office worker.

The image has changed so much, it is like a student boy who shouts about a revolution, throws the manifesto aside when he is about to graduate, and wears a person who looks like a dog and blends into a large company to work.

"Hello, I'm Akiko Matsumoto. ”

Matsumoto Akiko returned the salute, looked at him a little, and said a little heartlessly: "So young." As soon as the words fell, I probably felt a little rude and stuck out my tongue.

The first impression made Shinichi Iwahashi think that if he hadn't known in advance, it would be hard to imagine that she was an idol.

However, a little rash or lively behavior also has a feeling that it is not difficult to get along with. As an agent, no matter whether he brings a big name or hits the street, he will get along day and night in the future, and artists whose personalities are too difficult will inevitably make people mumble in their hearts.

"Then, Matsumoto-san will be handed over to you, Iwahashi. Matsumoto Akiko's agent said.

"Yes. "Iwahashi Shinichi should come down.

The artists produced by Watanabe have a very fast rotation of agents, and it is rare that an agent has not changed for many years with the same artist. For example, Guan Cun has followed Bu Shiming for three years, which is already a long time.

And just three years after Matsumoto Akiko's debut, Shinichi Iwahashi is already her third agent.

Her first agent was a senior agent who had brought Rumiko Koyanagi and Chen Meiling - Teresa Teng and Chen Meiling, the two Chinese lights, who were signed by Watanabe Productions when they attacked Japan.

The next year, Akiko Matsumoto's agent, who is now handed over, is the backbone agent who has been in the company for four years.

And now, the one who has become her third agent is a newcomer who has just joined the company.

Wang Xiaoer's New Year——

Forget it, it's boring when it's all said.

In 1983, Akiko Matsumoto released her debut single "♂♀KISS", the title of the song has a street flavor, and the final results are also very bright (flutter) eye (street), the top 100 on the list are not in the list, as the champion of the talent show, it is as bad and miserable as Duan Linxi.

I'm afraid that there are not many people who know that the last champion of Supergirl is Duan Linxi.

By the way, the composer who provided this debut single was Jitoshi Goto, who is now in cahoots with Yasushi Akimoto (crossed out), and has a win-win cooperation as the composer of the Kitten Club, which has become a social phenomenon.

This gentleman is not bad, he has some talent, and he also makes songs for idols all day long, known as the "good name" of IDOL KILLER.

I thought that signing a championship was made by Watanabe, who picked up a treasure, and let her pit it first. However, it can also be felt that Watanabe Production's sense of the market is no longer what it used to be.

To be precise, in terms of making idols, Watanabe Productions is not as good as his own apprentices.

In the early 70s, as one of the "new three-person mothers", the truth of heaven and earth was made by Watanabe. The innocent idol whose debut slogan is "Snow White" has also experienced a big hit, and she is the most popular female solo before Yamaguchi Momoe, and the concept of pro-guard and CALL all started with her fans.

However, after becoming popular, the truth of heaven and earth soon became boundless.

Although the external impact cannot be ignored, Watanabe is also responsible for making the wrong plan. The positioning of the fan base of the truth of heaven and earth is too young, which makes it difficult for her to transform, and after the truth of heaven and earth became popular, she was constantly asked to repeat the songs with the same style, which consumed the freshness of the public.

Of course, the psychological quality of Heaven and Earth Truth itself is not good enough, and it is difficult to adapt to the sudden discrepancy, and psychological problems are also one of the important reasons.

As a result, in 1983, the final single "I Am a Snow Day" was released, and it disappeared. Of course, before this single, the masses had already forgotten about her.

However, just two years later, in 1985, the name Truth of Heaven and Earth became the center of the conversation again, although it was not a good word. She went to the sea and made a pink movie of Lu*.

Pink movies have a long history at RB, and there are many great ones.

But who is the truth of heaven and earth? He was an idol who debuted under the banner of "as pure as Snow White".

The impact she brought to the public when she went to the sea is far from being comparable to the pawns of later generations under the banner of "former graduate students of the 59th group". Even if she just made a pink movie and didn't shoot a real gun.

Again, the side effects are intense.

Could it be that the purported pure and flawless idol is this virtue?

In the year that Truth of Heaven and Earth was out, Watanabe Productions signed Akiko Matsumoto, the champion of "STAR! Birth", hoping to bring out another popular idol and get a piece of the pie in this idol era.

As a result, after the fiasco of her debut single, the record company continued to make persistent efforts, and Akiko Matsumoto made persistent efforts, officially debuted in 1983, and in two years, she made one pounce and one pounce, and her idol career did not improve.

In the nearly 20 years since the word "idol" was first used by NHK, there have been no less than 1,000 idols who have never been popular.

In this era when new idols debut almost every week, Akiko Matsumoto, who has not been popular so far, is a flower that withers before it blooms.

Watanabe Productions is not a charity, and has lost patience with idols who are not popular. The current Matsumoto Akiko is facing a somewhat embarrassing dilemma.

Either pack up and go back to your hometown when your contract expires, or find a way to turn around.

The world of professions has always been cruel, but even so, in all kinds of cruel professional worlds, the cruelty of the entertainment world is also the number one.

Although it didn't become popular, it depends on the current era, which is the golden age of idols, whether it is a TV station or an outside TV station, there are all kinds of singing programs or activities, no matter how bad Matsumoto Akiko is, she can still come out with titles such as "former "STAR! Birth" champion and "83 groups of IDOL", so she won't be out of work.

However, the title of the former "STAR! Birth" brought her a little bit of topicality, but it also became a heavy shackle for her.

In particular, the RB entertainment industry has a "fine" tradition of taking pleasure in destroying the self-esteem of others, as well as the indifference of worshipping high and stepping on low without a stand.

I heard that in the entertainment industry, rookie agents are more compatible with unknown little idols - just kidding.

But there is no doubt that street artists must have a strong heart, and they also need a strong heart to be an agent for street artists.
