In the afternoon, Ms. Watanabe took her crappy students, put down their books, walked out of the classroom, and went to the Ginza Teaching Practice Base to carry out a unique teaching activity.

...... Well, we just went to the department store in Ginza and discussed what gifts we wanted to buy to visit Suzuki-san.

If you want to go to such an occasion, in terms of choosing gifts, you actually have your own rules to follow, and you don't need anything chic to say, saying that it is called Iwahashi Shinichi, rather than letting him be a staff officer, it is better to call him to choose two people together.

By the way, you can chat again, and talk about some business and private affairs.

"Yesterday, I went to Mori-sang's house to visit Chang Zi-san. "When I first started shopping, Watanabe Manyumi walked briskly and talked about the topic lightly. The magic of shopping is incredible.

"It's been a while since the sons of those two were born. In contrast, Shinichi Iwahashi, who accompanied him shopping, was a little absent-minded. IT SEEMS THAT WHAT SHOULD BE ADDED TO HIM SHOULD BE A DEBUFF.

In April of this year, the eldest son of Mori Shinichi and Mori Masako was born, and he also sent a postcard to Iwahashi Shinichi, which seems to be in his memory as a former agent.

That being said, if he had already married a wife, it would be another matter if his wife had a diplomatic dispatch. But now, with his relationship with Mori Shinichi, he has not been able to visit his wife who has just given birth.

So, after receiving the news, Shinichi Iwahashi bought a gift and sent it along with a congratulatory card.

"Listening to Chang Zisang, the child's name is Guikuan. ”

Watanabe Manyumi said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "I was at Shoko-san's place, and I made a joke. ”

"What joke?"

Watanabe Manyumi smiled first, "I don't have any experience, so I don't know what a baby this month should look like." After seeing it, I felt that he was pitifully small, and I still thought in my heart, 'Is it okay to be so small?', but as a result, Chang Zisang said that he grew up fast in a baby. ”

"It's not a joke, I don't understand. Iwahashi Shinichi replied.

Watanabe Manyumi nodded slightly, "However, it's also incredible to think about it. Chang Zisang is also the first time to become a mother, right? Obviously, it is the first time to be a mother, so I know so much. ”

"Maybe Chang Zisang, like you at the beginning, felt that the child was pitifully small. Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it for a moment and said, "Because I'm worried, I've asked many people in private, and I know so much." ”

When Watanabe heard him say this, she suddenly imagined a picture of a mother who uses her hand as a ruler every day to measure her sleeping baby.

This kind of imagination carries a certain warmth, and she smiled, "Shen Yijun's heart is too fine. ”

"Is there one?"

"It's not easy for ordinary people to be so considerate of others. When she said this, she was half joking, half serious and added, "No wonder the eyes of newcomers are so accurate." ”

"If it's a compliment, I'll accept it politely. "Shinichi Iwahashi is not modest in these matters.

Watanabe Manyumi chose a gift and discussed with Shinichi Iwahashi to go for tea and rest. Passing by the grocery counter, there are a variety of things that attract the attention of Manyumi Watanabe again.

Sure enough, whether it is a domineering president or an innocent white rabbit, women who like this kind of gadget are like dragons who like gems. And the brave man who walked the maze walked a short fork in the road, and the brave Iwahashi Shinichi, who walked with the dragon who liked gems, stopped here again, and was bored, and also looked at the gifts sold inside.

In the glass case, there were music boxes of various styles, and his gaze wandered to one of them.

And so—

"Shen Yijun, what did you buy?"

Watanabe Manyumi, who came out empty-handed, looked at Shinichi Iwahashi who was carrying a paper bag in his hand and asked curiously.

The dragon, who liked gems, didn't take anything, but the brave man was dazzled by the light of the gems. Just think of it as if this is the trophy of the brave, and it takes a short fork in the road to eat an energy fruit. This double standard.

Forget it, anyway, the brave has the possibility of becoming a dragon, just like buying women's clothes and not knowing whether it's a cute girl or a cute women's clothing boss.

Shinichi Iwahashi told her that it was a music box.

Taking a break at a coffee shop in a department store, Shinchi Iwahashi took the music box out of the paper bag and put it on the table. It's the usual music box, a walnut outer box, which is wound and accompanied by music, and girls who dance mechanically spin on the mirror.

In the sound of ding-dong music, looking at the girl dancing with a mechanical dance with a blank face, Watanabe Manyumi asked him, "Who did Shinich-kun bring as a gift?"

If you buy it yourself and play with it, it seems to be a little out of tune with his appearance and consistent style.

"It's a gift for someone else. ”

"Really?" he said, and Watanabe Manyumi stopped asking.

The music stopped, and Shinichi Iwahashi took the girl in the mirror and held it in his hand.

"When I was in the store just now, I just remembered that there was a music box with girls dancing in it, and it happened to be sold, so I bought it. I want to take it to Yamauchi-san, who is in charge of Wink, to have a look. ”

"Huh?" This answer is a little different from what Watanabe Manyumi thought.

"Look," he said, putting the girl back in and winding it up. In the midst of the music, the emotionless girl continued to dance her emotionless dance, "You haven't seen such an idol on stage, have you?"

The face is expressionless, there is no communication with the audience, accompanied by music, dancing mechanically, if people imitate the puppets in the music box, it is as if the living side of "people" has been extracted.

"You can figure it out. Watanabe didn't know if it was a compliment or something else.

Shinichi Iwahashi explained, "Those two girls are too ordinary, and I have a headache, and I have considered how to make ordinary ordinary into unusual, but unfortunately, they just lack such a memorable temperament or ability." ”

But on the other hand, this kind of temperament that is not memorable in itself also has benefits. "Models who take photos for the catalogue are better at highlighting the clothes themselves, right? ”

"Hmm. Watanabe Manyumi chimed in, taking the opportunity to sort out the meaning of his words in her mind.

Shinichi Iwahashi was not a whim, and he was inspired when he saw a music box, but after receiving a commission from Kenichi Yamauchi, watching the video of Wink's performance, and integrating all aspects of the conditions, he has been thinking about it.

I have a rough outline in mind, but I can't find a form that can be used to express it.

When I saw the music box today, I suddenly remembered the old-fashioned music box I used to play with, as long as I opened it, there were two girls dancing on it - although there was only one girl dancing alone in the one I bought today, it was just an illustration like "evidence".

The two girls, Sachiko Suzuki and Shoko Aida, are not the kind of restraint when facing the camera, with a sense of machinery?

The two girls now, the deepest impression left on Iwahashi Shinichi is that they are not coordinated enough, they are not professional enough, and they haven't practiced at home This jerky feeling, and this is the difference between them and the real "ordinary idols" before.

If you lose this jerky feeling and become the kind of sweet and orthodox love Shake Lu who is comfortable on the stage and easily interacts with the audience, then this kind of street love Shake Lu can find 300 in front of and behind in the entertainment industry.

The restraint of Hayoko Suzuki and Shoko Aida would be ridiculed for not being professional enough if they appeared on stage as ordinary idols, but if that restraint became part of the characteristic, then it would be a different matter.

The restraint of Sachiko Suzuki and Shoko Aida is not like the girl dancing in the music box?

I can't do it anyway, so don't do it well.

Passive sabotage also has the meaning of negative sabotage, the same is sabotage, social animals will be expelled, if Artiste engages in it, it is art.

With a flash of inspiration in his mind like a Grim Reaper elementary school student solving a crime, this music box is like the most crucial piece of evidence, allowing Shinichi Iwahashi to find the key piece of the puzzle about Wink in his mind.

Although it has not yet become a complete puzzle, once the key parts are identified, the next pieces of the puzzle are logical.

"One girl dancing in a music box is not as good as two girls dancing in a music box. Iwahashi Shinichi said to Watanabe Manyumi, "It's a pity that I didn't buy two girls." ”

"This probably indirectly proves that the pas de deux is more popular than the solo. He made a joke.

Watanabe Manyumi was cheering, and she laughed at such a cold joke, and said to him: "Anyway, as a real person, it is more appropriate for two people to make a fool of themselves on stage together than to make a fool of themselves on stage." ”

"It's worthy of Wanyumi-san. Shinichi Iwahashi praised, "Immediately get to the point." ”

"Come less. Watanabe Manyumi didn't listen to his flattery.

However, she is also right, if this kind of restraint and imperfection is used as a selling point, the advantage of the duo is much stronger than that of the single.

If both of them remain in that state of restraint and imperfection, then the audience will be rightfully led to think that this is a combination of characteristics, and if it is a single person, the audience is more likely to feel neglected.

When you want to launch a new person and make a project, you must first consider the audience's thoughts and ponder the audience's psychology. Behind the scenes, he is not only a promoter, but also a substitute for the audience.

Because of this, Watanabe Manyumi will have the idea of promoting newcomers with a good vision because Iwahashi is cautious and careful.

However, the duo alone still can't completely put the audience into the idea that their combination is a distinctive, so it needs to be repackaged. ”

"Another package?"

"Well, I want to add a little 'unreality' to the two of them. ”

"That's not an easy task, the audience now is different from before. Watanabe said.

Iwahashi nodded cautiously, "That's right, that's right, times are different." ”

In the early days, it was the audience who was chasing the stars and regarded them as idols that were out of reach, until there was television, and the big stars who could only be seen on the big screen before began to shoot commercials.

People who used to be out of reach are now on TV, smiling kindly at the audience and introducing products to them. Since then, it has been destined that the halo on the star will be dimmed.

Because the audience will gradually realize from that moment on, that celebrities are not actually the objects they want to chase, on the contrary, celebrities need to live by pleasing the audience.

Therefore, the national talent show "STAR! is born" can be a great success, and the people of the whole country will witness the girls of ordinary people enter the TV and become household names.

It is possible that the people around you will appear on TV later, so that the star will no longer have that sense of sacredness.

"I'm curious how you're going to make that 'unreal' effect. ”

Not to be outdone, Watanabe Manyumi said a joke that was so cold that it couldn't be colder, "Now, in the era when everything is not strange and everything is possible." ”

"Haha! That's a big truth. "Iwahashi Shinichi is also enough to cheer and laugh happily.

He closed the music box and put it in a paper bag, "Then stay tuned." "I reached for the coffee, tasted it, and found that the coffee had become cold while chatting.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it. Watanabe Manyumi replied.

The next packaging techniques and strategies to be involved are not to say to her, but to say to Kenichi Yamauchi and listen to his opinion.

......

Mondays are always busy, and Shinichi Iwahashi made an appointment with Kenichi Yamauchi to meet on Tuesday afternoon, in the café across from his office.

After the greetings, Iwahashi put the paper bag on the table on the table.

Kenichi Yamauchi cast a puzzled gaze as he took out a music box from the paper bag, his expression a little puzzled and a little strange.

What does he mean by bringing a music box?

"I watched the video of Suzuki-san and Aida-san, and both girls were very reserved and not natural enough. Obviously aroused Kenichi Yamauchi's curiosity first, but Iwahashi Shinichi put the music box aside and talked about it first.

He took the lead, and Kenichi Yamauchi, who was hung up on his appetite, could only follow his rhythm and replied: "This can't be helped, the two of them are people who have nothing to do with the entertainment industry before, and it hasn't been long since they formed a team, so they still have to practice." ”

"But don't worry, the two girls are not the kind of people who have no talent, and with practice, they will soon be able to overcome this problem. Kenichi Yamauchi spoke for Sachiko Suzuki and Shoko Aida.

"This is natural. Shinichi Iwahashi chimed in, and then asked, "So, what about overcoming this problem? They will become idol groups with smooth movements, professional smiles, and the ability to interact with the audience with Wink like their own name." ”

"Ahh When Kenichi Yamauchi heard him say this, he felt that there was something in his words.

"There are already a lot of such idols. Shinichi Iwahashi paved the way for what he was going to say next, "To stand out, you need something different." ”

"Different. ”

Only then did Shinichi Iwahashi say the words he had said to Watanabe Manyumi to Kenichi Yamauchi again.
