084. The Rabbit Goddess
Recently, in the entertainment industry, it is clear that the wind direction has changed. To be precise, the wind in the idol world has changed.
In this change, there is both a glamorous side and a decadent side.
The glamorous side is undoubtedly the big kill of the kitten club. After the group's popularity quickly soared, Akimoto Yasushi began to break into zero, first letting Kawai Sonoko come out to test the waters SOLO, and the results were very good, and he also won the first place on the list, which proved that not only the group is really popular, but the individual members also have a lot of room to play when they are popular.
So let's let go of the hands and feet, and launch the team and members SOLO, from the beginning of the year to the present, the kitten club itself plus the team take turns to sit on the first place on the list, except for those few big-name idols, no one can stop the popularity of this groundbreaking amateur idol.
Qiu Yuanyasu, a fat young man, also made a lot of money and became a recognized golden bachelor in the industry and the fifth oldest diamond king.
However, in contrast to the glamour of the kitten club, there is a decline in idols other than the kitten club. In this era when you can drop a billboard and hit nine out of ten girls who are idols as jokes, there are countless idols, and there are countless well-known idols who have made a name for themselves and stabilized the country, and there are countless girls who have no splash and just follow this trend and become idols with a dream of starry.
The emergence of the kitten club has undoubtedly lowered the level of the industry, but as long as it is profitable, other companies will follow suit, so that girls who have nothing outstanding will pour into the industry, and the consequences can be imagined.
A large number of shoddy idols who poured into the industry are nothing more than debuts - no splash - waiting to die.
And now, Akiko Matsumoto has made a start, paving a new path for idols in addition to the original path. Even she, who has never been popular, is now becoming popular, maybe?
Girls who feel confused about their own positioning and don't know what to do, just like they just followed the idol trend into the industry at the beginning, under the command of the company, they once again went with the flow and tried to be an artist, regardless of whether their own conditions were suitable or not.
idols get together to be artists, in the eyes of the outside world, it is undoubtedly a practice of "lowering their value", which also makes the host in the show no longer treat idols as carefully as before.
The order that has been maintained in the industry for more than ten years has been broken by amateur idols, and it has gone in an unprecedented direction.
But in the final analysis, it will become like this, not because of Matsumoto Akiko, nor can it all be blamed on the kitten club, the most fundamental reason is that the creation of gods itself is problematic.
Man is man, not God. Once we insist on erasing human humanity and replacing it with divinity, sooner or later it will be counterattacked.
That night, Shinichi Iwahashi received a pager from Yukiko Okada.
On April 8, he promised Yukiko Okada that he would keep in touch with her in the future. After that, Yukiko Okada would pager him every few days.
The two don't contact each other very often, and the most important reason for this is that Yukiko Okada has a very heavy workload. After a false alarm and re-devoting herself to work, she faced the same thing as in the past.
It's the same thing, but a lot has changed.
After the ghost gate was closed for a while, under the guidance of Shinichi Iwahashi, she realized that she seemed to have a choice between 1 and 2, but she ignored that although life has to make various choices, it is by no means a multiple-choice question that can only be chosen once.
Life is long enough for her to explore the answers to every question.
Okada Yukiko's incomprehension that she couldn't get an answer to, and love that she didn't know much about suddenly became less important.
"I still don't know anything about love. ”
"It's a very profound thing, and I don't know much about it. Of course, this is not something that can be understood in a moment, and it is because of this that life is interesting and meaningful. Shinichi Iwahashi replied to her.
"Really...... So, I'm going to learn slowly. The same is true for work, and you have to work hard to do it. ”
However, Yukiko Okada, who is working hard now, is not rushing upward with the burden of carrying the successor of Seiko Matsuda, but is ready to withdraw from the entertainment industry after the contract expires.
She only told Shinichi Iwahashi about this, and she didn't even reveal her own family.
SUNMUSIC, on the other hand, used the reason of gas leakage to cover up her suicide, but because of the sighting of neighbors and the subsequent performance of her covering her wrist, there were rumors that she had attempted suicide.
Although the majority of people refute the rumors, there are still some who are skeptical. Affected by this incident, the performance of her new singles released after that was somewhat unsatisfactory.
Originally, after her last single achieved her best result since her debut, the studio and the record company thought that her next single could take advantage of this momentum to usher in a new breakthrough, but this happened.
Affected by this negative news, her popularity may also stop now, and as for the successor of Matsuda Seiko, it is impossible to talk about it.
On the side of the office, it is said that there are many voices of criticism. However, they were all pressed down by Mizoguchi Noburo.
The suicide of Yukiko Okada stimulated the ace agent a lot, and he began to doubt his career for a while, and with a compensatory mentality, he tried his best to protect Yukiko Okada in the firm.
Shinro Mizoguchi in the office shielded her from the wind and rain, and Shinichi Iwahashi outside the office healed her spirit, which made Yukiko Okada gradually recover, and now, she can talk calmly about her career and life.
Shinichi Iwahashi advised her not to regard the end of the contract and leaving the entertainment world as a relief, and if she still works with a desperate mentality of wanting to escape, the rest of the time is still a kind of torture, so it is better to think the other way around, and think about the rest of the contract period as a countdown to the idol career experience.
"Iwahashi-san, today, when I went to participate in dance practice, Mizoguchi-san brought a newcomer over to the dance studio. Yukiko Okada told him.
"Really?"
Mizoguchi-san also introduced her to me...... Her surname is Sakai, her name is Fako, and she is a newcomer who has just signed. Okada Yukiko's tone was a little complicated that he didn't realize.
Mizoguchi Nobuo, who came with Sakai Noriko, treated this little girl with the same attitude as he did with Yukiko Okada. It is said that Noriko Sakai is now living in the president's house just like she did when she first came to Beijing.
On the other end of the phone, hearing Okada Yukiko mention this name, Iwahashi Shinichi felt familiar, and thought about it carefully, isn't this the little rabbit who used to be a pure goddess and was on the TV news later because of something?
It turns out that this girl has a unit with Kiko Okada.
